"Quiet."

“It’s too quiet.”

Mao Zhengzhi stared at the fantasy scene in the holographic projection that looked like a scroll, and squeezed out a few words from the gaps of his teeth.

Lu Yongchang also nodded with a serious expression.

As Academician Mao Zhengzhi said, this forest is too quiet!

Apart from the sound of the wind blowing the wide blades, there is almost no other sound!

Many times, quiet is the biggest abnormality!

"Are there no animals on this planet..."

Lu Yongchang murmured to himself in confusion.

When everyone was confused, Zero still performed the sampling task in an orderly manner.

After the leaf sampling work is completed, tree trunk sampling, soil sampling, and companion sampling are included.

Soil sampling is simple.

Under zero control, the robot quickly completed the work.

The most difficult thing is the sampling work of trees.

The reason... Of course, the hardness of these tree trunks far exceeded the imagination of Lu Yongchang and others!

But it can be understood.

Judging from the appearance, these 100-meter-level big trees belong to the same species as the 12,000-meter giant tree.

These trunks can support such a huge creature under gravity of 1.5g, and the strength can be imagined.

But all this became illusion after the robot was replaced with the drill bit of the same material as the Starship shell.

Under the impact of the Starship-Careyne composite drill bit, a cylindrical sample that penetrates the cross-section of the big tree was taken out.

"Professor, the detector detected some abnormal vibration on the ground."

While the electronic synthesis sounded, all the robots put down their scientific research equipment, revealing the small laser gun installed on the robotic arm.

Driven by the fusion battery, the muzzle flashed with a lilac light, the surrounding temperature also rose rapidly, and the calm air was slightly distorted.

The vibration disappeared.

But the robots still kept their original movements and looked around vigilantly.

Ten minutes later.

"No unknown creatures were found."

"Comprehensive judgment is that the source of the vibration is a slight earthquake."

"The alert has been lifted, continue to perform the original sampling task."

The lilac light gradually dissipated, and the small laser gun also retracted into the robotic arm.

...

Half an hour later.

"The sampling work at each landing site has been completed."

"The detector is ready to perform a return operation."

Zero's report sound surrounds the laboratory.

It should have been a phased progress, but there was no smile on Lu Yongchang's face.

He looked at the holographic image in front of him with great solemnity, with a look of confusion flashing in his eyes: "What do you think of the vibration just now?"

Mao Zhengzhi beside him looked at the data in the projection in a daze and sighed deeply.

"About the same time, all surface detectors detected this slight vibration."

"It's very similar to an earthquake, but it's not the frequency of a seismic wave."

"This is very strange." Mao Zhengzhi turned his head, stared at Lu Yongchang's eyes seriously, and repeated again, "It's really strange."

Lu Yongchang was silent for a moment and said softly: "Do you think this is not an earthquake?"

Mao Zhengzhi nodded silently: "It's such a coincidence."

"At that time, almost all robots were performing tree trunk sampling."

Lu Yongchang stared at the robot entering the detector in sequence in the picture, thinking carefully about the next measures.

In his heart, the possibility that this planet is a higher civilization has been raised to the top!

But there is no definite evidence after all.

Today’s human civilization needs all resources that can promote development!

You must never give up these valuable resources just because of some inadequate evidence!

"All detectors loaded with samples returned."

After pondering for a long time, Lu Yongchang finally spoke again: "The rest of the probes entered the near-Earth orbit of the Remaining Star and conducted real-time observations on the surface of the Remaining Star."

“In addition, implement the second batch of wake-up plans.”

"Next time to log in to the exploration mission, send some experienced planetary scouts to the scene."

"receive."

While the electronic synthesizer sounded, Mao Zhengzhi's voice also sounded.

"Professor, wouldn't this be too risky?"

"At present, there are still a lot of mysteries of the lost stars who have not yet been solved. We rashly dispatch planetary scouts..."

Before Lu Yongchang could speak, Fang Xu on the other side had already spoken and interrupted Mao Zhengzhi's voice.

"It is precisely because of this that planetary scouts need to be dispatched."

"You have also seen the surface environment of the deserted stars."

“Complex forest landforms, extremely soft soil…”

"In such an environment, zero-sum robots can only assist in probing."

"If you want to truly unveil the veil of the lost stars, sending explorers to log in and explore is an indispensable part."

...

The detector left.

Only a part of the probe stayed in the near-Earth orbit of the deserted star, staring quietly at the forest below.

However, under the layers of concealment of the tree canopy, the detection effect is not very good.

The soft soil trembled slightly.

A thick tree root slowly emerged from the ground and extended to the area where the detector landed.

It lay as lying on the charred surface as much as possible, as if there was honey on it.

Time passes slowly.

As the stars turn, night comes.

The brilliant accretion disk that covered the entire sky slowly disappeared at the end of the horizon.

Since the last "great changes in the world", the night has become colder.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

The tree roots lying on the charred surface twitched slightly, as if they noticed the cold around them, and retracted back into the soft soil again.

When night comes, the quiet forest finally becomes lively.

Huge arthropods crawled out of the dense canopy, pulled their huge number of stomach feet, and crawled towards the surface along the thick trunks.

They crawled very quickly and climbed down a tree trunk that was a hundred meters high in just a few seconds.

After arriving at the ground, they quickly climbed to the bottom of the tree trunk without any hesitation.

There is food they desperately need.

These foods that look like the big disc of the sky can only be enjoyed safely at night.

After eating, several of the arthropods moved their stomachs and twisted their bodies one after another, and came to a slightly raised mound of soil.

The soil of this mound is particularly soft, as if it had been turned over by something.

They press their heads against their heads and communicate information with each other with their tentacles.

“It’s dead.”

"Yes, it's dead."

"What a pity."

"I have explained it many times. I can't go down to find food during the day. That's the devil's bait, and it just doesn't listen!"

"Oh...it's a pity..."

After the communication was over, the arthropods turned around and crawled towards the distance.

While the night is still dark, they need to look for food as much as possible.

As for the regret just now?
