The Petrachelys quickly lifted off the surface of the sea and soon arrived near Io's synchronous orbit.
There were still traces of the previous upheaval: a large number of oddly-shaped ice chips, rock fragments from the bottom of the sea, and building wreckage were floating in space, densely filling a large area of space. Eva had not been able to pull everything she brought back to the sea, and these remnants were eternal mementos of her havoc. According to the MDT's deduction, these floating ice, stones, and metals in space would continue to drift for tens of thousands of years and eventually form a small ring. If one day Io evolved into a new intelligent life, they would be curious to study the ring around their home planet.
Hao Ren let the MDT maneuver the spacecraft through the wreckage. Some large black crystals quickly passed by the spacecraft. These crystals were the black battleship that had been blown up.
"This is it." The MDT stopped the spacecraft in front of a particularly large piece of wreckage. "The largest wreckage, and it has a complete frame structure. The radar has detected a sealed space inside. I think this may be a surprise."
The Petrachelys slowly circled around the wreckage. The latter was two to three kilometers long and seemed to be the complete end of the black battleship. Its head and tail were very neat, which meant that there might be something special about this part of the cabin, so there were two fragile rings that were easy to break. The surface of the wreckage was originally equipped with some sail-like black crystal plates, but now there were only some broken scaffolding, which was probably destroyed by the explosion.
"There seems to be an entrance on it," Y 'zaks said, pointing to a bulge on the upper part of the wreckage. "It looks like a pipe burst out."
Hao Ren nodded. "Let's send an autonomous robot in first. If it leads to the inside, we'll go in."
An ejection window opened on the side of the Petrachelys, and a small mechanical squid nimbly flew out and pounced on the wreckage. It then went into the wreckage through the entrance. Soon, the autonomous robot sent a signal that the interior was safe and the path was clear. In the image sent back, Hao Ren saw a very open space.
"Lily, Y 'zaks, you two come with me." Hao Ren turned his head and said.
Lily was so happy that she jumped up from her chair. "Great! By the way, why did you let me follow you this time? "
Hao Ren shrugged. "Because I might need your claws. You dig faster."
Lily took this as a compliment and happily nodded her head before happily following him.
The three of them followed the path explored by the autonomous robots into the wreckage and quickly met up with the mechanical squid in a spacious place. The autonomous robot rubbed its tentacles on Hao Ren's body as a sign of reporting, then lit up the surroundings.
The surroundings were messy and old, and there were many signs of corrosion. It seemed that the warship had suffered serious water damage when it sank to the bottom of the sea. The interior of the wreckage was not as dark as it looked on the outside. Most of its walls and interior were greyish-white with a plastic-like luster. The three of them were in a spacious place. On one side of the bulkhead (which Hao Ren thought was the ceiling), there were a lot of exposed broken pipes and wiring.
Lily raised her Flamejoy and knocked on the bulkhead next to her. "Looks like we're in the pipe room. This place is really big."
"Not only is it big … Everything here looks a little strange," Hao Ren looked around and muttered. He floated to the nearest bulkhead and stroked a strange-looking disc with a shaft. The disc was a few meters in diameter. "It looks like a valve …"
"Are you sure?" Y 'zaks stared. "Such a big valve? I can't even hold it! "
Hao Ren shrugged. "At least the shape is similar."
The three of them looked around the cabin and soon found that everything here was extraordinarily large — a valve with a diameter of several meters, a joystick more than two meters long, and a button that was a size bigger than a Xinhua Dictionary. These things were the easiest to see the abnormality of the size. As for the other facilities that could not be seen at all, it was hard to tell whether the size was normal or not, but they also looked frighteningly large.
Lily used her claws to pry open a joystick that was taller than her whole body. While prying open, she muttered, "Is this spaceship made by a giant?"
"From the looks of it, even in my original form, I won't be used to these things." Y 'zaks stroked a console in front of him, which was installed with a row of huge buttons. "My fingers will definitely cramp, and you have to swing your arms to type on this keyboard."
Hao Ren was surprised. "You've learned to type?"
Y 'zaks was stunned. "… Why is your focus always different from normal people?"
At this time, the joystick that Lily had been prying for a long time suddenly had a result. The huge metal stick suddenly tilted to the side, and the wall behind the three of them silently opened up a small gap.
Lily looked up at the wall, her tail wagging gently. "Oh my god … Is this the door?"
"A door of more than ten meters high …" Hao Ren was stunned. "Lily, dig a hole!"
The husky maiden went up and scratched the alloy door without saying a word. Sparks flew and ice flew. Soon, a big hole was dug in the thick alloy door, big enough for Y 'zaks to crawl through. After digging, Lily took the lead and rushed in. The next second, Hao Ren heard the husky scream through the comm. "Oh my god —"
Hao Ren and Y 'zaks rushed in and were stunned.
Behind the door was a place that looked like a cockpit. A huge console and four giant seats were placed in the middle of the room, and in the middle of the room were the remains of the four crew members: the remains of giants!
Lily was in a hurry just now, so she bumped into the head of one of the skeletons, but the head was bigger than her whole body!
The husky maiden fluttered in the air for a long time before she remembered how to control the direction. The next second, she scurried back to Hao Ren's side. "It's really a giant! That scared the hell out of me! "
Hao Ren patted the husky's head reassuringly. Then, he flew to the remains and looked at them in amazement. The four crew members were wearing some kind of black leather uniform, and there were no visible wounds on their bodies. But without exception, they were holding their heads tightly as if they had suffered from severe headaches when they were alive. Apart from their huge size, their appearance was similar to that of humans, but their skin was dark red. It was impossible to tell if they had this skin color when they were alive.
Hao Ren made a rough estimate and found that these aliens might be 16 meters tall or even taller. They were the real giants!
"There are no signs of decay, dehydration or swelling. They seem to have died not long ago," Y 'zaks said, turning over one of the remains. "Incredible … Few mortal races have such a strong body. To be able to survive for tens of thousands of years after death, in a sense, they have cultivated a golden body."
Hao Ren was shocked again. "You have even studied Buddhism recently?!"
Y 'zaks said helplessly. "Can't you focus on something a little more normal?"
While Hao Ren and Y 'zaks were busy, Lily also came forward to help. She circled around one of the remains for a long time and suddenly waved her Frostfire Claws to cut off the head of the remains. Hao Ren was puzzled. "What are you doing? Shaving their heads in the middle of your busy schedule? "
"Shaving my head," Lily bared her teeth at Hao Ren. "You see, this may be the cause of their death!"
Hao Ren took a closer look and found that the back of the giant's skull was abnormally swollen, and there were strange bulges on the scalp. He reached out and touched it. "It feels like … the skull has been pushed open. Anyway, they were certainly not like this when they were healthy. The skin in this place is abnormally tight."
"Brain disease?" Y 'zaks scratched his chin. "Is this the reason why they acted strangely in Io? Because of brain disease, they fought and destroyed Io? "
Lily was smart for once. "Did the brain monster control them at first? And then they attacked the sirens? "
"I don't know. These giant bodies must be sent back for examination." Hao Ren shook his head and connected to the Petrachelys. "MDT, we have found …"
