"At least, at your depth, there should be no reefs or something like that..."

Lu Yongchang spoke again and added.

But obviously, no one here cared about this sentence.

Especially when I saw that the huge gray shadow began to make slow circular motions around [Poseidon].

"Professor... do you mean, this thing is a living thing?!" Hope asked with a sharp change in his face and his breathing was rapid.

"At present, it should be." Lu Yongchang swallowed, looked at the slowly moving gray shadow in the sonar picture, and explained in a hurry, "According to our research, the turbid object in the sea water should be

Organic substances similar to polypeptides and amino acids.”

"This creature... let's treat it as a creature. If it is composed of these polypeptides and amino acid-like substances, then..."

“It should belong to an amino organism.”

During the words, the gray shadow seemed to be stimulated by some stimulation, and its movement speed began to slowly increase.

In the sonar map, the distance between unknown creatures and [Poseidon] exploration ships is sometimes far and sometimes close.

The camera also captured the flickering orange-red light.

But unlike Hope's report, the orange-red light flashes at this time, and it will flash once every 8 seconds.

“It’s curious?”

Mao Zhengzhi's confused voice sounded from the side, "Or... are testing?"

Lu Yongchang's expression slightly condensed.

Indeed, as Mao Zhengzhi said, the movements of this deep-sea giant exuded a bit of temptation in its actions at this time.

"Professor, what should we do now?!" Faced with the temptation of unknown giant creatures, Hope couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, "Does it float?"

"Don't move!"

Before Lu Yongchang could speak, Mao Zhengzhi shouted loudly, "Don't move around! Stay hovering!"

"Switch off the sonar device first."

"If I guess correctly, it should be attracted by the sonar device turned on during the dive!"

Hope and Hansent looked at each other, without any hesitation, and directly turned off the running sonar device.

As Mao Zhengzhi said, during the dive, the sonar equipment that actively detects is working, and the sonar detection device is not turned off until the exploration ship hovers in place and performs seawater sampling tasks.

It was also at this time that this unknown creature emerged from deeper into the ocean.

[Poseidon], who turned off the sonar equipment, became a completely blind man in this vast ocean of liquid ammonia.

But the next moment, a 3D simulated image appeared in front of everyone.

In the simulation diagram, the central area is a [Poseidon] exploration ship with a diameter of less than 100 meters. Next to the exploration ship, there is a huge creature with a streamlined body and a length of more than 200 meters in circles rapidly.

Swim.

"This is..." Hope was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.

"Combined with the sonar data just now, Zero made a simulation picture based on the orange-red light captured by the camera." Lu Yongchang briefly explained, "There are not enough observation data, and the simulated image may be somewhat different from the real situation."

Hope and Hansent looked a little relaxed.

Although it is not as good as sonar, it is better to have simulated images than nothing.

“It slowed down.”

Mao Zhengzhi's voice suddenly rang.

Upon hearing this, Hope hurriedly turned his attention to the simulated image provided by Zero.

Sure enough, after turning off the sonar, the huge deep-sea creature wandered a lot.

"Sure enough..." Mao Zhengzhi stared at the holographic projection intently and murmured to himself, "Living in such a deep sea, these liquid ammonia creatures will inevitably evolve a matching way of perception."

"You mean...ultrasound?" Lu Yongchang frowned and asked softly.

Mao Zhengzhi nodded gently.

"The ocean of ice giant stars is pitch black. Growing in this dim environment that is always dull, vision should be the least needed function."

"But sensing the outside world is a must-have ability for organisms."

"It's not difficult to draw this conclusion when thinking of creatures like bats."

Lu Yongchang didn't speak immediately, but just looked silently at the huge creature slowly circling around the [Poseidon] exploration ship in the simulated image.

Suddenly, he asked.

"Where is that orange-red light?"

"How should that thing be explained?"

Mao Zhengzhi was slightly stunned, then frowned.

He understood the meaning of Lu Yongchang's words.

Naturally evolved creatures generally do not have useless functions.

Just like the deep-sea hornfish in the Earth's era, there is a flesh-shaped protruding similar to a small lantern above its head.

Under the action of the vitase, this flesh-like protrusion that resembles a small lantern will emit a faint light.

Most fish living in the deep sea have a certain degree of phototaxis.

Therefore, this luminous "little lantern" has become a powerful tool for hunting squid fish.

If you compare it with this deep-sea beast living in the ocean of liquid ammonia, the problem arises.

If these amino organisms do not have so-called vision or phototaxis, then what does the flickering light emitted by them do?

You can’t just evolve a bunting of bulging decorations on your body for the sake of good looks, right?

"hiss……"

Mao Zhengzhi reached out to hold his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Teach...Professor..."

"Can you stop discussing such profound questions?"

"Think about what we should do first!"

Hansent came from the speaker with a slight trembling shout, interrupting Lu Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi's thoughts.

Faced with this unknown deep-sea giant, fear engraved in human DNA completely erupted.

Especially when looking at the orange-red light floating outside the porthole, thinking of the terrifying environment outside and the deep-sea giant with a length of more than 200 meters, deep fear suddenly rose in the hearts of the two of them!

Even though Hope and Hansent were starship pilots who had various trainings, at this moment, they were on the verge of collapse.

"cough……"

Lu Yongchang coughed awkwardly.

Faced with an amino organism that he had never seen before, he and Mao Zhengzhi forgot about their current situation for a while.

"Or how to try to get up?"

Lu Yongchang looked at Mao Zhengzhi and made a suggestion: "Look at its reaction without turning on the sonar."

Mao Zhengzhi pondered for a moment and nodded hesitantly.

"Yes, but...the floating speed is as slow as possible."

"We currently have too little understanding of it, and it cannot be ruled out that it has a strong desire to attack."

Lu Yongchang knew it: "Did you hear it?"

"Try to float first and slow down the float speed as much as possible."

"...try, try?" Hansent even had a little crying voice in his voice, "Professor, are you sure it won't attack us?"

"……uncertain."
