Zhang Shaoyuan and his six team members are advancing along the inclined tunnel.

The rolling steam has already recondensed under the cold temperature of the planet. Even if deceleration measures are taken, their descent speed is still quite fast. The entrance behind them has become a small circular light hole, and they seem to have become frogs at the bottom of the well.

But in fact, the process is like taking a slide.

This reminds Zhang Shaoyuan of the 300 meter ice slide he once sat in the ice city ice and snow world.

At that time, he had a wife and children.

Under the holographic mask, the corners of Zhang Shaoyuan's mouth inexplicably have a little radian.

Because he remembered the gentle smile of his wife and the excitement of his children that day.

At present, the thickness of the ice layer is 130 meters. The slightly inclined cutting direction makes the length of the tunnel nearly 200 meters, but it is not comparable to the ice slide in the ice and snow world.

It's just too dark.

If a pure human enters here, the gliding process will be an extremely dark and terrible journey, just like people suddenly stumble in their sleep. However, Zhang Shaoyuan's team is equipped with the most advanced personal night vision equipment of the Xinjing fleet and their own lighting devices. For them, the brightness of this gliding is enough, Just deep and endless, as if sliding to the mouth of some unpredictable terrorist creature.

When many people have the same idea, they come to the end.

The body suddenly emptied, and the feeling of falling quickly came.

There is a big hole under the ice, and it will naturally fall out of the ice.

Zhang Shaoyuan and others had already prepared. They started the thruster of their spacesuit for the first time and slowly stabilized their body in mid air.

At this time, they noticed that the underground was not dark, and there were some strange crystals on the frozen upper "ice sheet", which were only one from a long distance, with blue light.

The blue light is actually very weak, and the number of blue junction crystals is small. They can only shine on a small area. Looking down from here, it is still dark. At such a distance, their lighting equipment can't shine through.

At least 200 meters high.

Zhang Shaoyuan made a simple judgment, but they didn't drop the height at the first time: "Xie Wenbo and Chen Jia, go and collect the sample of the blue junction crystal and pay attention to protection. The crystal is likely to have radiation. Others and I spread our guard, turn on biological radar and thermal radar, and be careful of anything. "

The temperature under the ice is lower. At the moment, the surface temperature of the planet is about minus 31 degrees, but the temperature here is more than minus 40 degrees.

Further down, the temperature seems to get lower.

Zhang Shaoyuan thought that the frozen planet was several times larger than the earth.

At this time, he noticed that the signal was slightly poor, both their internal communication and external signals.

Two soldiers flew to the nearest blue crystal under the command of Zhang Shaoyuan.

Before coming down, they have made sufficient preparations and brought all kinds of things, including small material collection and storage devices.

As the only blue crystal suspected of the "rock" of the planet, it is of course necessary to take samples.

The picture here was also transmitted back to Xu Youyang's frigate for the first time. With the ice chiseled here and began to go deep, Xu Youyang also transferred some resources and manpower to keep an eye on the situation here.

Xu Youyang knocked on the armrest of his captain's seat, looked at the slightly noisy stroboscopic picture and said, "team Zhang, there seems to be a strong magnetic field underground, which interferes with our communication. If there is a situation, withdraw immediately."

"Received."

Zhang Shaoyuan responded immediately.

By this time, the two soldiers had begun to collect blue crystals.

The blue crystal is not big, about the size of two adult male fists. The whole body is crystal clear blue, like the crystal of raw ore, but there is no impurity. Moreover, it seems to grow in the ice, and half of it is connected with the ice.

"Can this be some kind of fluorspar?" In the bridge of the frigate, a relevant expert asked questions.

At present, the radiation indicators on the two soldiers have not issued an early warning, which means that the radiation of this blue junction crystal has not reached the level that can cause harm to the human body.

Xie Wenbo and Chen Jia looked at each other. After a brief exchange, according to the instructions of the frigate expert group, they were ready to chisel off the blue crystal and a small part of the ice around it.

This process took a lot of time.

Fortunately, the ice layer is up to 100 meters thick, and I don't know how many years it has existed. It is strong enough. You only need to worry about not damaging the sampling target.

After sampling, Xie Wenbo opened the metal backpack behind him and put the sample that had been sealed in the receiving box into it.

Zhang Shaoyuan made a gesture to them from a distance, motioned them to keep up, and he began to fall.

The six person exploration team began to descend slowly.

The caves under the ice are quite endless. Looking left and right, there is an endless darkness.

"The scale here seems to be comparable to the hole under our arctic glacier."

Chen Jia couldn't help saying.

In this team, he is the youngest, only 21 years old. It's strange to come to a strange planet, and he is always more vigorous and talkative than others.

Unfortunately, there was no response this time.

The underground cave was extremely empty. They fell vertically. Because of caution, the process still took nearly one and a half minutes. It was estimated that the height distance of the cave where they were currently located was 237.65 meters.

In the process of descent, the interference to their signal is becoming more and more serious. When it is about 70 meters from the "ground", the communication with the frigate is almost interrupted.

They stayed at this position for a while. After re contacting the warship and discussing, Zhang Shaoyuan team decided to continue to descend to the ground.

By this time, both their internal communication and communication with the frigate had been interrupted.

Zhang Shaoyuan ordered the team to turn on the sound generating device of the combat suit, prepare for direct communication, and re detect whether its camera works well, so as to ensure that the recorded ground data can be consulted and studied by the fleet after returning.

But just then, at the back, Chen Jia suddenly saw a flash of Shadow: "there's a situation!"

The crowd immediately entered the alert state, and the lighting equipment scanned the surroundings.

"The infrared thermal radar did not detect the target."

"The biological detection radar did not find any targets."

"The dynamic detection radar detected an unknown thing moving around us!"
