"Gulp."
Above the floating block of ice in the void, Lin's Leviathan extended a large number of tentacles. These tentacles were about a meter in diameter and bit off a large amount of ice from the ice. These ice would then be melted into the Leviathan's body and be used by it.
If these ice cubes could be found frequently in the void, then the Leviathan would not lack water.
At the same time, Leviathan released some troops called 'Star Testers'. These troops would first enter a pouch and let Leviathan absorb all the air in the pouch. Only then would they be released.
These soldiers were mainly in the form of lobsters that were about one meter long. The ends of their limbs were equipped with suction cups and their tails were equipped with a small amount of fuel that could be injected in an emergency.
Lin found that in this place where there was no air, the soldiers could be made into any shape because there was no air flow to affect their movement. If there was a chance, she should make the Leviathan into a more efficient shape.
The thirty Star Testers quickly spread out and explored the ice. Some dug holes, some observed the surface of the ice, some were responsible for absorbing water to produce nutrients and began to build a base here.
At this time, Leviathan used its tentacles to grab a radish and put it on the ice.
Lin put a transparent shell on it to keep it warm and protect it from some harmful substances in the void. Lin wanted to see if it would have any special reaction.
In the Leviathan's body, there was a cabin specially for these creatures from the moon to live in. The inner wall of this cabin could cooperate with brainwaves to create a similar gravitational environment. The main reason for this was that Lin found that their cells would weaken in an environment where gravity was absent, resulting in various conditions such as muscle atrophy. The main reason was that there was no pressure.
Lin's soldiers' muscles would not atrophy. Lin told them not to atrophy.
When the radish was released, it was very flustered. It ran two steps on the ice and floated into the air uncontrollably. Then it kept struggling...
It was not much different from what she expected.
The Leviathan caught it and installed a small soldier on its feet. This soldier was called "glue." They would move automatically and stick to the ground when the radish's feet touched the ground.
Then the Leviathan put the radish on the ground again. This time, it could run on the ice.
After the radish realized that it would not float, it calmed down. It could still feel the strange feeling of no gravity. But it did not seem to care.
The radish began to get excited and began to run wildly in this place where there was no gravity. Although the creature seemed to have no eyes, it was looking around at the surrounding "scenery".
This was because the radish's shell had the ability to sense light. It also seemed to have a more complex analytical ability. The radish could see images.
Testing the radish's life seemed to be more interesting. Lin released a few more radishes. were confused at first, but they soon became excited and chased each other.
Lin noticed that a few of the radishes were in the process of reproducing, and three of them were chasing each other. This was because it was their 'breeding season', and their decision to breed had a lot to do with the temperature. But they did not seem to mind. and they did not seem to care.
Looking at their appearance, Lin thought that if it wasn't so cold here, they might be able to live here. The possibility of this kind of triple sexual reproduction creature changing was very high. They might soon evolve into a species that could jump between the meteorites ….
Some of the Star Surveyors had already dug deeper into the ice. Aside from ice, there was only some dust and debris. Although there were many substances that Lin had never seen before, it was clear that this place was not warm.
. and it was not just the cold. There were many other problems to be solved.
The first radish had already run far away on the ice. Lin noticed that it suddenly stopped in front of a small hill, and then quickly ran back. It hid under the Leviathan in fear.
It seemed to know that the Leviathan had brought it here. But Lin was more concerned about the hill that the radish was afraid of.
There were many hills more than ten meters high on this ice. And it seemed that the radish was only afraid of that one hill? So far, Lin hadn't found anything strange about this mountain.
... Right.
With that in mind, Lin had the Leviathan use its Colored Eyes to look at the hill.
In the Colored Eyes' vision, it could be seen that the hill was emitting light that looked like electricity scattering.
So it could be seen in this situation? It seemed that the radish could also see colors as rich as the Colored Eyes... but why was that hill glowing? The surrounding hills did not have this kind of light.
In fact, Lin found that the farther away from the Rollers, the less strange light there was. She did not know why, but it was probably because there was too little matter in the void.
And there was such a big cluster of light here, it was indeed strange.
Lin had a few nearby Star Testers go near the hill and climb up to it to start digging.
The ice here was quite hard. The Star Testers needed to use their forelimbs to break the ice and then use their arthropods to dig. Under their digging, they could see that the ice layer seemed to be hiding something.
... What was... this thing?
The Star Testers dug through the last layer of ice. Lin saw that there was a... white thing in the hill. It was not the same color as the ice. It was a very pure white.
The light seemed to be emitted by this thing.
Lin had the Star Testers use their forelimbs to touch this thing.
Boom!
At this moment, the Star Surveyor's field of vision was shrouded in flames. A violent explosion occurred, and its impact immediately caused the whole ice to crack and disintegrate. In a short moment, this huge ice was blown into countless pieces, and even the Leviathan was sent flying by this impact.
The Leviathan immediately opened its spout and stopped in the void.
Now, Leviathan's field of vision was full of ice fragments, and the original big piece of ice had disappeared.
The Leviathan quickly checked its body and found that it was not injured. Lin relaxed a little.
This... What was going on? Why did that thing just explode? Why did it explode? What was that thing? Was there an explosive component in it?
I see... This is why I occasionally saw flashes when I was observing this place from the moon. This is because... There are explosives everywhere in this meteorite group? That is quite dangerous.
However, the power of this explosion was not very strong. Even the nearest Star Tester only had his head blown off. Although it could be said that after his outer shell was shattered in the void, it could also prove that the power of the explosion was not that great … The other Star Testers were blown away and were now floating in the surrounding space.
A few of the ice fragments from the explosion scratched the outer shell, but it did not affect the inside.
Sure enough, because there was no air to form a shockwave, the power of the explosion was not strong. But because it was connected to the ice, it was able to shatter the whole ice.
The surface of the explosive just now seemed to be quite smooth, and it did not seem to be an object formed naturally in this environment.
In other words, was it made by some creature?
This possibility... Was it possible? There should not be such a creature here, and why did it make these things, to blow up this ice? But there was nothing in the ice...
Maybe there was a material that was important to this creature, and this material was meaningless to Lin.
Making this kind of explosive consumed a lot of energy, and there did not seem to be any place nearby that could obtain so much energy. Maybe there was a lot of explosive components hidden in a stone?
In short, let's continue to explore first. As long as we are careful, we will not be blown up by this kind of thing, and we can try to find this creature, if they are real.
Thinking of this, Lin let the Leviathan move forward slowly. Lin found a radish not far away, struggling non-stop. Although it was greatly frightened, it did not seem to be injured.
The Leviathan caught the radish and put it back in the cabin where it was originally placed.
Next, the Leviathan found the Star Testers who were blown up nearby, as well as the radishes. They were almost unharmed, and it seemed that this kind of explosive was not a problem even if one was not careful.
Lin also collected a lot of ice fragments, which were basically dissolved and used as water. Among the ice fragments that were blown up, the Leviathan also looked around to see if there were any fragments related to the bomb.
... However, after searching for a long time, Lin did not find anything related to the explosive just now.
Maybe its outer shell could not withstand the high temperature, and it melted during the explosion? Or it turned into small fragments and flew far away... Then it would be difficult to find.
However, Lin could find new explosive shells, and they should be hidden elsewhere.
After recovering these things, the Leviathan continued to slowly move forward in the meteorite group. This time, the Leviathan paid special attention to the surrounding stones, but these stones did not emit any light.
Why did the explosive shell emit light? It emitted a special kind of brilliance that could only be seen with the Chromatic Eye.
It felt similar to brain waves.
The Leviathan looked at the small stones around a few meters, and felt that the explosive shell was not likely to be hidden in them. In that case, it would be better to look for some bigger ones, and there just happened to be a relatively large one in the distance.
This stone was not ice, but rock, but its size was unparalleled, about five kilometers long, and it could be called an 'island in the void'.
And it was not completely like a rock, there were many white parts on it, and Lin felt that it might be ice, so it was worth looking at, although... it did not emit any light. Floating astronomy.
