Bang!
When Lin simulated the sound, a powerful explosion appeared in front of her eyes.
Lin could clearly see something exploding a kilometer away. The dazzling light engulfed everything around it. At the same time, a large number of fragments flew towards her.
Lin ordered the mechanical spiders to lower their bodies. Some of the fragments almost brushed past them. Lin was sure that if they were hit by these fragments, the mechanical spiders would instantly fall apart.
And this explosion seemed to have happened more than once.
Riding on this high-altitude flying object, Lin was getting closer and closer to the gravitational sphere, and in the surrounding space, there were continuous explosions.
The light of the explosions kept flashing. Under the crazy splashing of fragments, many fragments flew towards Lin's mechanical spiders and the flying object they were on.
Beep! But they were all stopped by a beam of light. Lin's mechanical spiders were equipped with weapons that could shoot light.
As the explosions continued to flicker, Lin also noticed that they were all caused by flying objects.
These flying objects were exactly the same as the one Lin was on, but they were not as lucky as the one Lin was on.
Most of them would crash into the floating wreckage, and at the moment of impact, the flying objects would also abruptly explode. It appeared that each of these flying objects was actually something similar to a missile, and the one Lin was on was no exception.
But Lin's flying object did not crash into anything, although it would definitely crash into something.
As the surrounding scenery and the light of the explosions flashed past, Lin saw a vast land in front of her. The surface of the Gravity Sphere looked like a plain made of rusty metal. It was covered with strange wavy terrain and a large number of debris. The debris extended from the void to the surface of this world.
As she got closer and closer to the ground, Lin ordered the mechanical spiders to release the flying object and activate the thrusters to fly to the side.
The flying object crashed into the ground. The moment it hit the surface of the Gravity Sphere. A violent explosion occurred again. Everything on the ground was blown away or directly shattered by the impact.
After the explosion, a huge crater appeared on the ground. The originally rusty surface turned into a glowing liquid like lava.
Lin had the mechanical spiders adjust their thrusters and stopped in the air. Lin was now more than a kilometer above the ground, and there were many fragments floating around. Lin felt that there might be dangerous creatures lurking around, so she didn't let the mechanical spiders fly near any of the fragments. Instead, she let them slowly float to the ground. It floated towards the crater that had just been formed by the explosion.
At this moment, Lin saw something strange. Something had drilled out of the ground around the crater created by the explosion.
These creatures also looked like spiders. They had spherical bodies with a diameter of more than two meters and six limbs with two joints. After emerging from the ground, they crawled directly towards the crater and entered the glowing crater.
The ground in the crater was filled with a soft substance made of light. It looked like the substance was quite hot, but these spherical objects with limbs could easily move around inside. Lin also noticed that these things seemed to be sucking the substance.
They would walk a few steps inside the pit and then stop. Then, their bodies would also become brighter. Lin felt that their legs might have some sort of absorption function, allowing them to absorb the light in the pit.
While watching them absorb the light, Lin's mechanical spiders also slowly floated to the side of the crater and touched the surface of the gravity sphere.
The moment they touched the gravity sphere, Lin checked the composition of the substance on the ground. The substance on the surface of the gravity sphere was quite mixed.
There were many kinds of substances mixed inside, but there were no specific substances.
This substance, Lin could probably call it 'Star Bus Element'. If a world was a Star Bus, or if it was in the past, this substance could be detected.
This substance would normally be distributed throughout the Star Bus, whether it was underground or on the surface. This was something that Lin discovered in a relatively new study. By detecting this substance, she could also calculate the location of the Star Bus's vital organs.
Lin felt that this substance couldn't be detected because this place was covered by a large amount of debris, so she should dig deeper.
Checking the composition of the surface of this place also made Lin feel a bit strange. This was because the composition of the surface of this place shouldn't have dissolved into the liquid substance in the crater created by the explosion just now. Perhaps there was something special in the explosion. Or perhaps the location of the explosion was different from where Lin was checking.
However, Lin didn't check the crater because doing so would be dangerous.
The main thing that Lin wanted to do on the gravity sphere was to find some of the Star Bus's organs. There must be some organs left behind, such as a teleportation organ or a gravity-controlling organ. Only with these things would it be able to continuously attract debris and maintain the stability of these debris.
The gelatinous creatures here did not know where the organs were. They only knew how to perform certain actions to trigger teleportation. For example, by performing certain actions here, they would be teleported out to search for the wreckage. Then, by making certain markings and certain actions on the wreckage, they would be teleported back.
The strange actions they performed on the Capturer's Warship were to mark the debris so that the debris would be attracted and teleported here.
But they didn't know where the teleportation organ was, so Lin felt that it should be on the gravity sphere.
Perhaps the Star Bus deliberately didn't want the gelatinous creatures to know, it only 'set' the teleportation organ before it died so that the organ would operate in coordination with the gelatinous creatures.
If Lin wanted to search here, she must first ensure that these troops survive. These mechanical spiders were too fragile in front of the various creatures here.
So they must build a 'factory' here, and then create more and bigger units. There must be materials here that could store dream energy as a control core.
Just as Lin was thinking about what to do, a glowing object suddenly appeared in front of her.
In the crater of the explosion, the ball-shaped object with limbs crawled out. It seemed to have absorbed the high-temperature substances in the crater, which made its originally dark red body radiate a dazzling radiance.
Although the object didn't have any structure that looked like eyes, Lin felt that it was looking at the mechanical spiders. It slowly crawled to one of the mechanical spiders and lifted one of its forelimbs.
It used its forelimb to lightly touch the mechanical spider, and then retracted. Lin did not do anything, only observing it.
She didn't know if it was a living thing, and she didn't know what it was thinking.
Just as Lin was wondering, a few more ball-shaped objects crawled out of the crater. Just like this one, they seemed to be 'full' as their entire body was glowing.
Then, they also gathered around the mechanical spiders. They just stayed there without doing anything special, as if they were staring at the spiders in a daze.
As time passed, Lin noticed that the light in the crater behind her was slowly dimming, as if the substances were cooling and hardening, but these ball-shaped objects were still radiating light.
They seemed to be able to maintain the temperature of their bodies, but what were they trying to do?
Looking at these things, Lin made the mechanical spider at the back move slightly and crawl away.
The moment the mechanical spider made this move, a ball-shaped object also moved. It quickly ran to the side of the mechanical spider and blocked its path.
The other ball-shaped objects also spread out and surrounded the mechanical spider.
They seemed to be trying to trap the mechanical spider and not let it escape, but they didn't seem to be attacking. Lin wanted to try and see what would happen if she tried to escape.
She might be attacked, but …
What was that?
Lin suddenly saw a huge object flying over from the distant sky.
This object had a long and flat body, somewhat similar to a creature called an 'eel'. In this airless environment, it was twisting its body to move forward, as if it was swimming in water.
Moreover, it was more than 20 meters long. As the 'eel' approached, the surrounding ball-shaped objects immediately gathered and pushed the mechanical spider to the center of their group, using their bodies to block the mechanical spider.
It seemed like they were protecting the mechanical spider. The 'eel' wandered around in the air for a while, but it didn't approach this place. Then, it flew away, and the ball-shaped objects scattered.
But this time, they didn't stay there, instead, they made some new movements. One of the ball-shaped objects raised its forelimb in front of the mechanical spider and squeezed out a bit of
Soft substance.
Lin had the mechanical spider also raise its forelimb to examine this substance.
It seemed very strange, as Lin found that this substance contained a large amount of fungi.
These fungi were considered a very resilient species. They could live directly in the void environment here.
Why would they give Lin this soft substance mixed with this kind of fungi? Just as Lin was feeling strange, the ball-shaped objects suddenly made a new movement. They all ran in the same direction.
As for Lin's mechanical spider, it was left on the spot.
Lin felt that these ball-shaped objects were strange, but since they left, she would continue.
Just as Lin was thinking this, Lin suddenly saw another missile flying from above. (To be continued.)
