Liquid?
Looking at the mucus slowly flowing out of the meteorite, Chen Chen could not help but tilt his head.
This liquid was very viscous and looked black. It slowly seeped directly from the thin cracks of the meteorite, but as soon as it came into contact with the outside world, it froze again, forming a dark blue crystal.
Chen Chen scratched his head. He picked up a small stick from the ruins on the side and pounded it in the meteorite.
"Splat!"
A meteorite fragment was pounded down and suddenly a pool of liquid splashed out, but before it sprayed on Chen Chen's body, it was automatically blocked by an invisible barrier.
Immediately, this liquid condensed when it was cold and turned into blue ice crystals.
Chen Chen's Field energy could penetrate more than a thousand times into the substance. Under this subtle observation, bacteria and other microorganisms could be seen clearly, but he did not see any microbial material in this liquid.
In other words, the substance in the meteorite was originally a crystal, but it melted after entering the atmosphere and turned into a liquid.
However, Chen Chen was not sure what this substance was, but using the elimination method, he first ruled out that it was water.
As for what it was, he might have to wait until Chen Chen's Field energy reached 100,000 times at the microscopic level and he could observe the molecular structure.
At this time, Chen Chen turned his head and looked behind him, only to see that Hannibal had put on his protective suit and walked out of the airtight door.
"Boss, why are you on Mars?"
Hannibal asked through the communication system. Although his expression could not be seen, he must be quite puzzled at this time. "I thought it would take at least seven days for a rescue. Does our Blacklight Biotechnology already have the technology to travel from Earth to Mars in an hour?"
"You're just lucky."
Chen Chen said casually and walked into the laboratory at the same time, only to see a small pool of licked blood on the floor of the laboratory. At the same time, the bodies of two men were piled up in the corner. These two men's eyes were wide open and their faces showed a look of horror and doubt. They seemed to be wondering why Hannibal suddenly killed them.
"If it was me in the past, I probably wouldn't have the courage to do this..."
Hannibal followed behind Chen Chen and said a little awkwardly, "But after doing so many human experiments in the Spire laboratory, I..."
"No need to explain, it's understandable."
Chen Chen waved his hand and then looked at an experiment table, only to see two large jars of blood on this experiment table and a stripped wire next to it.
"Are you going to electrolyze water to generate oxygen?"
Seeing this, Chen Chen asked immediately.
"Yes."
Hannibal nodded. "An adult has about 5 liters of blood. Two people will have 10 liters, which is equivalent to the same weight of water. The oxygen content in water is 88.89%, which means that the blood of these two people can electrolyze a total of 8.9 kilograms of oxygen."
"And an adult only needs 0.75 kilograms of oxygen a day."
"In addition, their bodies also contain a large amount of water. If I crush them and place them in a centrifuge for separation, I can collect about 10 to 20 liters of water. The water and the crushed bodies will be enough for me to survive."
"Therefore, after killing the two of them, I can survive in the laboratory for more than ten days until the Ares spacecraft arrives to rescue me."
Hearing the other party's seamless explanation, Chen Chen could not help but glance at Hannibal. It had to be said that this young man had an extraordinary calmness. Even in such a desperate situation, he could still find a glimmer of hope in the cracks.
As for Hannibal's approach, Chen Chen did not have any objections. If Hannibal did not kill people, the oxygen in the laboratory could only last for ten hours at most. After ten hours, all three of them would die.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen suddenly took a test tube from the experiment rack on the side, then walked out of the laboratory to the meteorite, and put a few crystals in it.
"Boss, what's this..."
Hannibal asked doubtfully.
"I don't know, so I'll take it back to study it."
Chen Chen said casually, then following his gaze, a few cans of alcohol in the warehouse automatically flew out and poured over the few remaining scientific research stations.
The freezing point of alcohol was -117.3 degrees, so it was still in a liquid state at this time. After pouring the alcohol on the scientific research station, Chen Chen waved his hand again and a igniter in the laboratory automatically ignited and flew to the alcohol at the same time.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the ruins of the scientific research station ignited into a towering fire!
Hannibal, who was on the side, looked at this miraculous scene with a shocked expression.
However, at this time, Chen Chen did not bother to explain. He grabbed Hannibal's shoulder with one hand and ordered at the same time, "Hold on to me."
Hannibal did not know what was going on. He grabbed Chen Chen's arm somewhat cautiously, but before he could ask, he suddenly found himself rising into the air!
"Huh? This... "
"Bear with it, our protective suit can only maintain oxygen for two or three hours..."
Chen Chen said, then he slowly accelerated and flew in the direction from which he came.
Because Hannibal had not been injected with the T-virus, Chen Chen could not directly accelerate to the speed of sound. He could only accelerate slowly, but even so, after ten seconds, he still reached the speed of sound!
"Boom!"
A blast of air formed behind the two of them, but this was only the beginning. Chen Chen was still accelerating at the limit that Hannibal's body could bear!
"Boom!
Boom! "
"Boom!"
One time, two times, three times... After ten minutes, Chen Chen had accelerated to ten times the speed of sound. At this extremely terrifying speed, the two once again swept across the Martian continent, flying from the south pole to the north pole!
It was not until an hour and a half later, when Chen Chen's oxygen was running low, that the two finally returned to Spire 2 at the north pole of Mars.
As soon as they landed, Hannibal directly lay on the ground and vomited!
It was a pity that he vomited all into his mask...
After asking the Black Knights to take Hannibal down, Chen Chen returned to the teleportation room and took off the protective suit.
"Sir Commander, it seems that you've gained something?"
Nancy saw the test tube in Chen Chen's hand and could not help asking.
At this time, as soon as it was heated, the crystals in the test tube melted again into a pool of viscous dark blue liquid. If one did not look closely, it would look black.
"Take it and study it. Remember to send me the experiment report."
Chen Chen handed the sealed test tube to a Black Knight, rubbed his head that was faintly aching from overuse of Field energy, and then stood on the teleportation platform again.
Immediately, a stream of water gushed out from the center of the platform and floated in front of Chen Chen.
This time, Chen Chen was much more proficient. He stretched out his hand and touched the stream of water. Then, he only felt his vision go black, and then he felt half-awake.
When Chen Chen regained consciousness again, he was already lying on the teleportation stack in the Spire laboratory. Little X hurriedly came over. She helped Chen Chen up and at the same time asked with concern, "Sir Godfather, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine."
Chen Chen waved his hand. "I think you should have received the news from Mars, right?"
"Yes, I first received a distress signal from Mars three hours ago, and then half an hour later, I received a message from X-113. She said that you have personally gone to rescue them."
Little X said, "The scale of the meteor swarm this time is very large. From the news I received from all over the world, this group of comets flew into the solar system from the Kuiper belt in recent years and their area is very large. Not only does it cover Mars, but even the orbit of the Earth is within it. In about a day, a comet will hit the Earth and the area of this impact includes the entire eastern hemisphere, including Europe, Central Continent, North Sea Continent, and so on."
"Will it pose a threat to human civilization?"
Chen Chen asked.
"Don't worry, the group size of these comets isn't large. At that time, it will only form a vast meteor shower and only one or two out of ten will fall to the ground."
Little X shook her head. "There have been at least two or three similar situations in the last hundred years. Even if there are losses, it's only sporadic casualties."
Only then did Chen Chen nod.
At present, with human technology, it was not possible to accurately calculate the distribution of comet dust particles in the meteor shower parent body, so it was not possible to make accurate calculations of the occurrence and scale of the meteor shower. At most, it could only make a rough forecast.
After talking with Little X for a while, Chen Chen only felt dizzy in his head. He did not know whether it was due to overuse of Field or the side effects of inter-planetary teleportation, so he returned to his room and went to bed early.
...
"Patter, patter, patter..."
At some point, Chen Chen found himself walking on a bustling street.
It was night and the sky was dark, but the road was filled with an endless stream of cars and on both sides of the street were colorful storefronts.
These storefronts were of all kinds. There were hotels, restaurants, merchandise stores, clothing stores, and many other shops that even Chen Chen could not figure out what they were selling.
The neon lights on the shops were colorful, embellishing the entire city with colorful hues.
Strictly speaking, this was indeed a bustling street.
Listening to his footsteps echoing constantly, for some reason, Chen Chen felt that something was wrong.
He could not tell what was wrong with this street, but there was a special sense of unease that kept coming. This feeling swept through his perception in waves, making him feel uneasy.
What was wrong...
Chen Chen was a little puzzled. He frowned and kept walking down this road.
As he walked, Chen Chen felt a little thirsty, so he subconsciously opened the door of the restaurant beside him.
The restaurant was brightly lit. A dazzling crystal chandelier hung at the top of the hall. The bright lights constantly stimulated Chen Chen's nerves. The entire hall was as bright as day.
At the same time, a burning sensation blew out of the room. Although it was winter, the temperature in the room was very high, it seemed to be more than 30 degrees.
Was the heating in the restaurant this good?
After muttering softly, Chen Chen slowly walked in.
"Patter, patter, patter..."
When he heard his own footsteps again, Chen Chen suddenly froze.
This was because he finally felt that something was wrong...
He stopped abruptly and stopped in the empty restaurant hall.
At this time, he was shocked to find that there was not a single person in the huge restaurant hall!
Something was wrong, something was very wrong...
Chen Chen's brows were twisted into a small knot. He squinted and looked around, but still could not see a single person. It seemed that everyone in the restaurant had evaporated into thin air.
Seeing this, he, who was naturally vigilant, decided not to stay here. He stepped out of the restaurant step by step and then pushed the door open again.
Outside the door, there was still an endless stream of traffic.
However, at this time, Chen Chen also thoroughly discovered the problem, that was, there was not a single pedestrian on the entire street except for himself.
This was the source of his previous unease. Even if it was late at night, the entire street should not be completely empty...
Thinking of this, Chen Chen subconsciously turned his head and looked at the passing cars, then his pupils shrank!
Those cars were also empty, even the driver's seat was empty!
In other words, was he the only person on the entire street?
Chen Chen took a deep breath. For the first time, he felt that the seemingly bustling street was filled with unparalleled strangeness...
The feeling of unease hit him in waves. Chen Chen looked around with some vigilance. He wanted to know why there was not a single person in the entire world.
However, just as he raised his head, he saw that on the residential buildings across the street, there were several flickering silhouettes.
Chen Chen fixed his gaze, only to see that these people were standing at the windows, seemingly looking at something in front of the windows...
No, it was not several windows. As Chen Chen looked carefully, he found that except for some windows that were darkened, all the windows with lights on had a person standing in front of the windows!
Those people were looking at... Him!!!
The moment he understood all this, Chen Chen only felt a chill run down his spine. He could not describe what kind of feeling this was. Although those people had their backs to the light and only a silhouette could be seen, Chen Chen still had an intuition — those people were indeed staring at him...
"Swish!"
Chen Chen opened his eyes abruptly. He sat up from the Blacklight Fully-automated Medical Platform, gasping for breath.
Only then did Chen Chen feel a chill on his back. When he reached out and touched it, he found that in his sleep just now, cold sweat had soaked his back without him realizing it.
"Sir Godfather?"
Little X's voice came. "Did you have a nightmare?"
"A dream?"
Chen Chen looked around a little blankly. He looked at his familiar room and furniture, then gently breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that it was a dream.
Chen Chen walked down from the fully-automated Medical Platform, stepping barefoot on the soft carpet, only feeling the warmth of the room.
It turned out that the warmth of the hotel he felt in the dream came from reality?
Chen Chen looked at the remote control of the central air conditioner with some doubt, but saw that the temperature on the remote control was only 24 degrees, far less scorching than the hotel lobby in his dream.
Perhaps it was an illusion.
Chen Chen shook his head and no longer paid attention to this.
"By the way, Sir Godfather."
Little X's voice came again. "X-113 sent an analysis report. The source of the report is an ionic crystal substance that can melt in a warm environment, but according to the test, this substance seems to be a kind of cellular protoplasm, which is to say, it's a kind of biological body fluid."
"What, biological body fluid?"
Chen Chen suddenly showed a look of surprise when he heard this.
