"Okay, little guy, it's all up to you now."
He was speechless as he watched the guy in the spacesuit release him. He controlled the spherical drone to eject its rotor from the side and flew towards the well.
Back on the rover, Wang Qiang took off the spacesuit in the buffer compartment and sat back in the driver's seat. James, who was sitting next to him, was drinking coffee while watching the drone fly towards the well.
"Intelligent?"
Wang Qiang leaned back in his seat, took a sip of his coffee, and grinned.
"What else? Is it remotely controlled by the ground command center? "
Even with faster than light communication based on quantum effects, the communication channel between Mars and Earth had a delay of tens of millions of seconds. If this feeling was described in an online game, it would probably be like you clicked the mouse and the character only reacted after half a minute.
Communication was not a problem, but remotely controlling the drone would be ridiculous.
However, what Wang Qiang didn't know was that the drone he just released was not based on electromagnetic waves at all, but based on a Klein particle communication chip embedded with crystal fragments …
The drone descended along the vertical wall of the well. After about half an hour, the drone finally landed at the bottom of the well and a cracked metal shell.
"Let's take a picture first …"
He aimed the camera at the metal fracture. Although the previous drone had already taken a picture, the resolution and lighting were not comparable to the drone designed based on the latest technology.
While pressing the shutter, he controlled the drone to fly to the hollow layer of the spiral structure.
The space five kilometers below was unexpectedly empty, at least much more spacious than the holographic concept map he saw on the conference table. The spiral-shaped pipe was like a tree trunk. Every short distance, a disc-shaped space would extend in all directions, just like the branches and leaves on the tree trunk.
All the "rooms" were empty. Apart from the mountains of dust, there was nothing else to be seen.
After taking a few photos of the room, he continued to move down.
The spiral tunnel was very long and extended down to a depth of ten kilometers. Here, the composition of the air also quietly changed. Although it was still dominated by carbon dioxide, the oxygen content was much higher than the outside world.
"Do Martians also breathe oxygen? This is a discovery. "Jiang Chen looked at the data on the dial of the drone and thought in his mind.
When he reached the last level of the spiral passage, he passed through an open circular door and slowly floated into a spherical space.
However, the moment he entered the spherical space, a hint of uneasiness rose in his heart.
This uneasiness was like being watched by creatures like Death Claws and Mud Crabs in the dark. The only difference was that his intuition told him that this gaze was not hostile but purely observant.
He suddenly had a premonition that he was about to be dragged into some kind of trouble.
"… I feel that this place is a bit weird. Let's get Amos to do it."
Looking around at the patterns on the walls of the spherical space, Jiang Chen's ominous feeling grew stronger.
Just as he was about to disconnect the connection with the drone and switch to Dr. Amos, a white light suddenly lit up directly below him, engulfing the entire space along with the floating drone …
…
After an unknown period of time.
He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the ground.
"Where is this?"
He put his hand on his sore forehead and slowly got up from the ground. After he stood up straight, he began to look around.
A cool breeze blew in his face, and the air was a bit fresh and dry. This was no longer the underground ruins of Mars, nor was it Dr. Amos's laboratory, but a wilderness – a place like the African savanna.
And he was no longer a drone.
Looking around, the entire land was like a field of golden wheat. Under the gentle breeze, layers of wheat swayed. In the distance was a steep red clay rock wall. The mountains here seemed to have been cut by a knife. They were square without any magnificent shape.
Jiang Chen squatted down and carefully observed the wheat-like grass under his feet.
Although it was somewhat similar to green bristle grass, whether it was color or shape, this plant could not match the species in his memory.
Just as he was studying the surrounding environment, a ball of light appeared out of nowhere, circled around him twice, and then stopped next to him.
"Mammals? That's really unexpected. "
"Accident?" Jiang Chen looked at the ball of light as he carefully took two steps to the side and stared at it.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to ask "who are you", a faint sigh floated into his ears.
"Yes. On Mars, mammals are like an endangered species. I believe that if one day, you see the tigers and lions in your zoo learn from you and invent their own language, I'm afraid that your shock won't be any less than mine … If I were to use your language to describe this shock, it would probably be this feeling. "
Jiang Chen was taken aback at first, then he suddenly realized something and frowned.
"You read my memory?"
"Please forgive my presumptuous approach. If I didn't do this, I wouldn't be able to communicate with you." The ball of light used a calm tone and politely expressed its apology.
"Okay … can you tell me who you are?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I am a memory," the ball of light replied truthfully.
"Memory? Similar to AI? Holographic image? "Jiang Chen frowned.
After the ball of light was silent for a moment, it gave a very ambiguous answer.
"Yes and no. Similar, but there are differences. "
The words of the ball of light made Jiang Chen confused. Just as he tried to understand this concept, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen something similar.
That was when Lin Lin … No, to be precise, it was Tingting, temporarily connected his spirit with the "Queen" of Harmony. He seemed to have crossed the barrier of the dimension with Brahma and was exiled to a strange universe, a strange planet, witnessing their culture, technology, society, and so on, going in a direction that deviated from the right path.
This feeling was very similar.
It was like his soul left his body, crossed the distance of time and space, and floated to another corner of the universe.
He didn't know what words to use to describe this wonderful feeling, and he didn't know how to express the shock in his heart at this moment.
But he already vaguely guessed what happened to him.
If nothing unexpected happened.
The land under his feet.
It should be Mars more than three billion years ago …
