The Petrachelys slowed down and slowly circled over the ruins on the moon, scanning every detail of the city, and at the same time approaching the sparkling amber-like red land. According to the data from the remote sensing equipment, the red substance was indeed similar to the composition of the Beinz Blood Lake.
The entire red area was extremely large, roughly estimated to be more than six million square kilometers, showing an irregular oval shape. The original Beinz Blood Lake was insignificant compared to this area. A large number of corroded and melted ruins could be seen on the edge of the red area. The state of the wreckage was more serious than in other places, obviously the result of long-term contact with the red substance. And on the boundary between the red substance and the surrounding ruins, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the tentacles.
The spacecraft found a slightly flat place on the edge of the red area to land. Hao Ren asked everyone to put on life-support collars, and then led a few autonomous robots out of the spacecraft.
Nangong Sanba jumped on the spot. "So this is the feeling of landing on the moon... It's really light."
"The gravity here is actually higher than the gravity of the moon in our hometown," Hao Ren said casually, then looked up at Lily. "Let me borrow your Flamejoy."
Lily hopped over lightly, muttering while conjuring her claws, "Actually, I want to rename it the Sword of Damocles..."
Vivian and Hao Ren glared at her together. "Don't change it!"
Lily howled twice in her throat, then hugged her tail and ran to the side dejectedly.
Hao Ren carried the hot Flamejoy and carefully crossed the boundary between the two areas. He stepped on the frozen red lake, scratched the ice with his claws, and collected some ice chips and melted liquid. The nature of this thing was almost no different from water. Hao Ren did not know why the lifeblood would degenerate into this form after completing the task of destroying the world and creating life.
He then returned the claws to Lily and came to the tentacles by the lake. He found that these tentacles were withered, and they had been dead for a long time. And these tentacles were different from what he saw on the surface: they were slender, the lines on the skin were more neat, and they had a strong metallic texture. It seemed that they were another part of the First Born's body … or another functional clone.
The MDT flew around to observe the situation while guessing the scene after the lunar apocalypse. "The ancient lunar ecosystem may have been maintained entirely by manpower, so after the city was destroyed, the atmosphere and the thermostatic environment were gone. When the Blood Tide shrank to this area, it became a large piece of ice. Those tentacles should be the last to grow out of the Blood Tide. After that, the lunar environment was completely unsuitable for life, so no new tentacles grew out. As a result, they are all concentrated at the edge of the Blood Tide. "
"Look at the bottom of the lake." Hao Ren lowered his head and pointed at the red ice. With their extraordinary eyesight, they could vaguely see the shadows of some wreckage under the thick ice. They were the remains of human beings and the foundations of buildings that had been decomposed by the Blood Tide. Originally, they should have been completely dissolved in the red liquid, but the unusually rapid temperature loss caused by the shutdown of the lunar thermostat caused the blood tide to stop prematurely and turn into red water. The half-decomposed remains were also frozen.
These phenomena could not be seen on other ecological planets. The special artificial environment of the lunar city had preserved these valuable observations.
When the MDT saw this, it immediately began to hit the ice happily. "Hey! This was a good thing! We can take a look at the decomposition process of something that has been decomposed by the Blood Tide! "
Hao Ren squinted at the MDT. The MDT was spinning rapidly on the ice like a drill bit. "Do you know that you are a PDA? I have three autonomous robots with me! "
The MDT only reacted when it heard this. It quickly floated back into the air and ordered solemnly, "Then let the autonomous robots start drilling."
While the autonomous robots were drilling on the ice, Hao Ren squinted at the MDT and said, "Don't download so many Korean dramas. Do you know that your CPU is almost rotten?"
The MDT was still angry. "Do you think I like it? Your dog likes to watch Korean dramas, Battie wants to watch cooking lessons, the siren likes to watch Animal World, and your fish daughter wants to watch Pleasant Goat! There are seven or eight TVs in the house, but no one watches them. Every night at 7: 30, you ask me to play The Big Bang Theory on the coffee table, saying that I like 3D! After that, you start playing DOTA, DOTA! I have the X-880 series thinking core, full personality artificial intelligence, three-meter-wide high-definition holographic projection, and a minimum network speed of 1PB. You use it to play DOAT, and it can only beat a simple computer! My memory is filled with your family's funny faces, and you blame me for being stupid. And speaking of stupid, who is the one who soaks me in the basin of a naughty fish every night? "
Hao Ren was dumbfounded and couldn't get a word in edgewise.
The others also turned their faces away, pretending that they did not know anything, and then went on with their business. Those who had nothing to do, such as Lily, went to dig rocks.
Vivian looked at the autonomous robots, who were busy cutting samples and drilling on the ice. She felt that it was time for her to play her role as a scout. She summoned a swarm of bats and said, "I'll go check the tentacles nearby …"
Before she could finish, the little bats fell to the ground. It was as if a rain of bats had suddenly fallen around Vivian, and in the blink of an eye, there was a swarm of little guys fluttering on the ground. Vivian was still stunned, but Hao Ren covered his face and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "This is the second time. There's a vacuum here, your bats can't fly."
Hao Ren felt that it was not easy for his team to get to where they were today.
While he was lamenting, Nangong Sanba's voice came from the communicator. "Hey, hey, can you hear me? I've found something. I wonder if you're interested?"
Hao Ren did not expect the half-baked demon hunter to be the first to find something. He quickly led his team over. Nangong Sanba was standing on a big rock, pointing at the edge of the red ice. "There's something like a seed frozen there — a super-sized seed."
Hao Ren looked and found that there was an ellipsoidal thing stuck in the thinner edge of the ice. It was about three meters long, shaped like an olive, and there was a tentacle growing out of its tip. He hurriedly commanded an autonomous robot to knock the "seed" out of the ice, and then a circle of people curiously surrounded it to study it.
The huge 'seed' looked like a small spaceship, and its structure was very complicated. Aside from the tentacle at the top, there were circles of raised lines on its lower half, and in between the lines, there were a few weird lumps of flesh. There were a few cracks on the waistline of the 'seed', and some sharp organs poked out of it as if they were some kind of sensor. There was no doubt that this was made by the First Born, and for some unknown reason — probably because of the end of the lunar ecosystem — the 'seed' had automatically withered before it was activated.
The MDT flew around the seed and quickly figured out its structure and basic function: it was much easier to understand than the progenitor of life or the First Born itself.
"These raised sarcomas are some kind of antenna that uses gravitational waves to communicate with the First Born on the surface. These concentric structures are some kind of high-efficiency engine, biological tissue, but it can produce a powerful propulsion force. Judging from the remaining structure, it can form a circular magnetic field outside the seed. By collecting the particles in the solar wind and accelerating them backward, it can fly fast, like paddling in the water. It's enough for use in the solar system. The thorn-like things in the middle are some kind of sensor, maybe used to capture life signals, "the MDT paused here." In addition, we can't rule out that this thing has other more advanced capabilities. There is a massive organ at its core. Although it has withered and deformed, the high-energy acceleration ring of the organ is still clearly visible. It is either a fusion reactor or a super bomb. "
Hao Ren was a little stunned. He touched the shriveled shell of the 'seed' in disbelief. "… Is this the thing that destroyed the lunar ecosystem?"
"At least this is one of the weapons," the MDT floated up and down. "There is no body of the First Born on the main moon, so the First Born on the surface must have launched some kind of interstellar firepower to other planets to attack the Second Born on other planets. This seed is its battleship. As long as it can create a blood tide, it is enough to destroy the ecosystem on any planet. "
