Chapter 45  From Mars

The white light on Li Ming's finger was like a rolling white wave, constantly dispersing into the sky, as if it was passing along the surface of some giant object, and like a flash of light on a mirror.

"This... this... this is..."

Li Ming opened his mouth wide and looked up. There was a huge object above his head. This object was suspended in the air two meters above the ground. The whole thing was dark and shiny, and it was conical. The difference was that its surface was not a smooth plane, but a prism, like a diamond.

It was only revealed after Li Ming's energy sensing just now. Li Ming, who was originally under this object, couldn't help but take a few steps back. He took a closer look and found something.

This object is similar to some kind of spaceship. The surface is already broken and there are many gaps. Most of the parallel edges have fallen off, revealing the structure inside the hull. Although it has experienced a hundred years of wind and frost on the earth, it is still magnificent and fascinating.

"It seems that this is the reason for the explosion more than a hundred years ago..."

Li Ming looked at the alien spaceship and sighed. It was already night, and the whole forest was in darkness. The spaceship in front of him was not obvious in the night. After Li Ming looked back and forth on the surface of the hull, he found a hole.

The hole was located on the top of the spaceship, where the surface of the hull was severely damaged, as if a large piece had been bitten off by someone. The serious defect exposed the passage inside the hull to the outside. Li Ming saw the position and jumped over.

The hole was a long corridor. Li Ming felt the whole spaceship tremble slightly as soon as he stood at the entrance of the corridor, but Li Ming didn't know that the moment he entered, a light wave similar to an electric current flashed from the top of the spaceship along the surface of the hull. In just one second, the whole spaceship disappeared on the spot.

From the perspective of ordinary people, it seems that there is no spaceship here. There are still only trees, weeds, wilderness, and silence.

Li Ming, who was inside the ship, walked along the corridor. Although there was no light inside the spaceship, all objects were visible. It felt like all objects could emit light by themselves, which was completely different from human perspective.

Human vision depends on the reflection of light. Without light, the eyes cannot capture things. This spaceship does not need light. Every place automatically transmits information to the eyes, so it can be seen very clearly.

The walls of the corridor were all black and damaged to varying degrees. There were either holes or something hanging from the top of the head, like ropes, but also like some kind of linear object.

Li Ming walked slowly a few steps inside and suddenly stopped. A strange scene appeared. The center of the spaceship was empty, like a well, seven or eight meters wide, and five or six meters vertically downward.

It was like a bucket was installed in the spaceship, but the circular inner ring wall was damaged. There was only a small cylinder two meters high and more than one meter in diameter in the center of the circular space. The object was white, like a light tube, and there were several irregular holes on the surface.

Looking at other places, most of them are the same as the corridor that Li Ming just passed, with broken holes everywhere. At this time, the only thing that attracted Li Ming was the white column in the center of the circular space.

Li Ming moved and jumped down from the corridor. As soon as he reached the bottom, he immediately felt a strange feeling, as if he had entered another space. An inexplicable sense of heaviness filled the space around him, as if he suddenly jumped into a river, and the movement of his body was affected.

"What's going on?!"

Li Ming muttered to himself secretly, completely puzzled, but after walking a few steps, there was nothing unusual. Li Ming was slightly relieved, and continued to walk two steps. Li Ming came to the front of the white column.

From the broken hole above, it turned out that it was empty, but he could feel a stream of energy slowly overflowing from it. Although it was strange, Li Ming did not move rashly, but walked slowly around the column.

A hundred years have passed, and there is still energy overflowing from it. It is really weird. Li Ming walked around this thing and didn't notice anything. If he wanted to know what was going on inside, he could only explore it through the broken hole.

Li Ming took two steps forward again and slowly stretched his right hand into one of the holes. As soon as his arm entered the space inside, he felt a dry touch, and it was soft. Li Ming leaned his head over and looked inside through the hole, and his face changed.

There was a corpse half sitting and half lying at the bottom of the hole. The corpse was short, less than one meter tall, with a head like a dripping water droplet, and a body similar to the human body. Li Ming's fingers touched the opponent's feet.

There was a wound on his chest, as if some sharp weapon had cut his chest open, and energy was flowing out from this wound bit by bit.

Li Ming looked intently, and there was a bright spot deep in the wound, like a bright gem in the dark night sky. Li Ming continued to stretch his hand a few more points inside, and his palm was close to the wound area.

At this time, the white light on the palm of his hand was slightly lit, which was the energy carrying consciousness, and the shining object deep in the wound suddenly shook and floated out from inside, and stopped just above Li Ming's palm.

Li Ming then grasped it and took the object in his hand, and pulled his arm out of the hole again. This is when Li Ming put the object he just took in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

After observing for a while, Li Ming couldn't help but frown. This object was just a fragment, one centimeter thick, the size of a palm, and irregular in shape, like one of the pieces of a broken plate.

The surface was crystal clear, like transparent glass. It didn't have the mysterious atmosphere of a star capsule, nor did it have the nebula flowing on the surface of a star furnace. It looked very ordinary and I didn't know what it was used for.

Moreover, no information about this object appeared in Li Ming's mind. From the experience of obtaining items such as star capsules, as long as the items touched Li Ming, the relevant information of the object would naturally appear in his mind, but this object did not.

There are only two reasons. The first is that there is no such thing in Harris's memory. The second is that this is just an ordinary item. But no matter what, why did it appear in the belly of this alien life?

Unable to figure it out, Li Ming didn't think about it anymore and put it directly into the star capsule.

Li Ming looked around the cylinder again and carefully observed it from each hole. There was indeed nothing else except the unknown fragment just now, and there was no valuable information.

Li Ming was in a daze for a few seconds, and his eyes swept to other places again. When he saw the center of the top, Li Ming's eyes suddenly stopped. There was a smooth area on the top that was similar to a mirror. It was not big, round, and only a dozen centimeters in diameter, like a round mirror, but there were many cracks on it.

This object looked ordinary, without too many eye-catching places, but compared with other damaged parts, it was still somewhat unique.

Out of curiosity, Li Ming stood up and jumped, and his body rushed straight to the top. At the same time, Li Ming stretched out his right hand again, wanting to see what was going on at the top.

As the extended finger was about to approach this object, a piece of information suddenly entered Li Ming's brain. Just as he was about to touch the top, Li Ming's body trembled slightly, and the space fluctuated. The damaged hull disappeared directly in this fluctuation, and another picture appeared.

Li Ming was surrounded by endless dust and gravel, and the wind was raging, just like in a desert. Not far away, in a crater-like ring mountain, a spaceship slowly rose into the air. This spaceship was exactly the same as the one Li Ming was in.

Just as Li Ming was about to take a closer look, the pictures around him suddenly flashed, and various cracks appeared. Then the picture suddenly changed, the dust and wind disappeared instantly, and a picture of the interior of the spaceship appeared.

This picture showed the interior of the spaceship in front of Li Ming, restoring the full picture of the interior before the spaceship was broken, but the picture still flashed and disappeared.

In addition to these two slightly clear picture information, various fragmented information rushed into Li Ming's brain frantically. These fragmented information were intermittent pictures, as if the device storing information had malfunctioned and could not view all the content.

From the appearance of the information to the end, it was only a few seconds. Li Ming disappeared before he could fully see anything. Those illusions disappeared in a flash, and Li Ming's consciousness returned to the damaged spaceship.

The body at the top fell directly down. Fortunately, Li Ming was prepared. His feet landed smoothly without any accidents. However, he felt dizzy. After shaking his head gently, he couldn't help but look up at the mirror at the top again.

After being in a daze for a while, the intermittent information could sort out some clues. Combined with the existing cognition in Li Ming's mind, Li Ming seemed to understand something...

That place with strong winds and yellow sand everywhere, Li Ming recalled it repeatedly in his mind, and his attention shifted from the yellow sand to the undulating mountains around, and then to the stars in the night sky. Li Ming couldn't help but say to himself: "Mars...?"

Although he had never been to Mars, ordinary humans could collect relevant information about the environment and landforms of Mars on the Internet, and humans had explored Mars more than once, and the pictures and information taken by various probes were no longer secrets.

In addition, through the information obtained from the U government agencies and Austin, Li Ming could almost conclude that the picture was the picture on Mars.

But this is a picture from at least a hundred years ago. In recent years, humans have learned more and more about Mars. It is almost certain that there is no advanced life on Mars. Even if there is life, it is only some low-level creatures.
