Chapter 870

The temperature of the ice cave is not high relative to the ice layer, reaching more than 80 degrees below zero.

There is plenty of air here, maintaining a strong atmosphere, not nitrogen and hydrogen, but methane. There is plenty of methane, more than 95% of the air, and the rest is ammonia.

"Hydrogen group?"

Shen Cong thought.

The chemical formula of methane is CH4, and the chemical formula of ammonia is NH3, which contains hydrogen element h. If there is life here, CH4 or NH3 should participate in the life cycle. Of course, it may just be Shen Cong's wishful thinking that the air here has nothing to do with life.

"The smell of ammonia is really bad and pungent." Shen Cong abandons his perception of ammonia.

Exploration of the iceberg began.

From the color feedback, the color of the iceberg is blue, which is the color of the air here. Occasionally, there are yellow and green gas inclusions, and the ice cave wall is mixed with blue, yellow and white.

Shen Cong began to fly along the wall of the ice cave and advanced toward the possible bottom of the cave. As he went deeper and deeper, he fell about 30 kilometers and touched the bottom of the cave.

The bottom of the cave is not ice, but rock structure.

The grayish yellow rock, with a pressure of 400 million PA, is as hard as a diamond at low temperature. Even Shen Cong can hardly break through these unusual rocks.

"There's a geyser there?" Shen Cong's perception captures anomalies on the rock surface.

After arriving, the geyser is ejecting blue gas, which contains a lot of methane, and the temperature is also very high, about - 30 or 40 degrees.

Around the geyser, several elongated creatures crawl lazily on the ground.

Shen Cong hid his own radiation fluctuations and quickly approached the strip-shaped creatures. These creatures were the first species of Tianyuan 4B life that he found.

Shen Cong observed carefully without disturbing the elongated creatures.

These creatures are very big. The small ones are two or three hundred meters long and fifty or sixty meters thick, and the big ones are five or six hundred meters long and more than one hundred meters thick. After perception, the active waves emitted by them are probably the second and third level standards of particles, that is, super-8 and super-9 talents. On earth, it's outrageous.

"Capture one and study it carefully."

Thinking of doing it, Shen Cong immediately approached one of them, and immediately cut off the joint between his head and his body before the other side reacted.

Its head is hard and incomparable, but its body is not good.

Dabao sword waving, smoothly do the cutting movement, a good life body, into two sections. The head "spasms" unceasingly, the body jumps back and forth.

The movement attracted the attention of the others, and they all rushed to Shen Cong with a round head as an arrow.

"Go away! Worms

Shen Cong's big sword slaps with no stinginess, just like Optimus Prime's move to kill a group of soldiers with a sword in transformers 5: the last knight.

Bang bang bang bang!

Long strips of organisms fly upside down and hit the rock surface, cracking the surface. But the hardness of the earth's surface can be described as terrifying, and the cracks are almost closed in the blink of an eye, and no cracks can be seen. Under such strong pressure and pressure, the rock has the ability to heal automatically.

The strength of the ice cave is unimaginable.

Seeing that they can't attack Shen Cong, after several impacts, these long strip creatures leave four corpses and turn to escape. Instead of hunting them, Shen Cong picked up the bodies on the ground and studied them carefully.

There was no gold nucleus formed, but it was polluted by metal life. The body was metallized and became a species inheriting the legacy.

"Why, there is a brain?"

The head of a creature is not complete, but divided into two lobes with a slit in the middle.

It's easy to cut along the slit.

Shen Cong discovers that there is a ball like a nerve ball inside the ball, which stretches out a line and connects with the whole body.

This, presumably, is its nervous system.

This is another way of life with the same principle as life on earth, but with different basic constitution. Compared with the evolution of life on the spiritual sphere, Tianyuan 4b is obviously more in line with the "aesthetic" of life on earth.

"I have already thought of how to name Tianyuan 4B Life originates from the ice here. If you live in a frozen environment, it's called ice hockey! "

At this point, Tianyuan 4B changed its name to ice hockey.

Shen Cong looked down at the corpse on his hand: "as for this long strip-shaped creature, let's call it the ice island hammerhead snake. It's really like a hammer."

The iceberg hammerhead snake, which has lost its life, has a hard body.

Shen Cong picked up a complete corpse and hammered it to the ground just like holding a hammer, which could crack the rock surface. But then Shen Cong seemed to think of something. He threw away the hammerhead snake, which had a cylindrical body and a round head, and was divided into two pieces.

"Disgusting."

……

After the ice bar hammerhead snake is solved, Shen Cong begins to deal with geysers.The geyser, which ejects methane, also erupts with fire energy. Shen Cong laboriously excavates the surface rocks and seizes every minute to find a fragment of fire before the surface begins to heal.

The fire fragments are about the size of a washbasin.

From the trace, there is not much material escaping, because the crack surface is still very clear, as if it has just split.

The edges and corners of the earth's fire fragments have begun to be smoothed down because they are constantly escaping.

"The low temperature limits the radiation of the fire fragments and therefore remains intact. Although the iceberg hammerhead snake is very talented, it has something to do with its powerful life itself. In fact, it does not get much fire energy. That is to say, as long as I collect the pieces of fire, I will basically empty the remains here. "

The premise is that we can find all the icebergs and dig out all the pieces of fire.

It's a tough job.

However, Shen Cong was not afraid of such difficulties. He immediately began to make signal marks on the rock surface and advance in different regions. Check one area next to another.

When you see an ice bar, you hunt hammerhead snakes; when you see geysers, you dig them.

It's easy to search for the radiation guidance with fire energy, but the interference here is very strong, and he can't perceive the further range.

Time goes by.

After the iceberg hammerhead snake, Shen Cong discovered a second kind of ice hockey creature.

A mushroom shaped insect, which is much smaller than the ice bar hammerhead snake, is only 10 meters high. At first, Shen Cong thought it was a mushroom. As a result, an iceberg hammerhead snake quietly approached the mushroom, and the mushroom shrank immediately. The mushroom head turned into a sharp headed insect. It twisted its body and got into the hard surface rock without any effort.

But iceberg hammerhead snake is very smart, know to wait for a rabbit, lie down nearby motionless.

Half an hour later, the mushroom shaped bug reappeared and was smashed into biscuits by the hammerhead snake. Then the body rolled through the biscuit, and countless mouthparts opened to absorb the biscuit.

Shen Cong then hunted a mushroom shaped insect.

It is found that the structure of the insect is very simple, there is no brain, only a simple nervous system, and its action depends on instinct.

"Just call it the mushroom bug."

"What do you eat, mushroom island After observing a mushroom worm for about three days, Shen Cong finally understood what the mushroom bug ate.

It eats methane rain.

Methane rain is a rain phenomenon on ice continent. About every other week or so, excessive methane gas from geysers will cause methane liquefaction.

As it rained, countless amounts of liquid methane fell on the surface and eventually gathered in the low-lying areas where mushroom worms grew. Mushroom worms open their body pores, crazy absorption of methane rain, an hour from 10 meters high to 30 meters high, amazing speed.

"It's a very simple ecological cycle. Snakes eat insects, insects eat rain. Rain comes from geysers formed by methane eruption under the ground Although it is not closed, the food chain is not so complicated. Is it because the food chain here is very monotonous? Or is it polluted by the legacy of the violent star breaker

It is impossible to judge.

Shen Cong could only continue his scientific research and collect the resources of fireseeds. He soon discovered about 100 pieces of fire fragments of different sizes. This amount is equivalent to one-fifth of the total amount of Lingqiu relics. At this time, Shen Cong has thoroughly explored the huge ice continent.

"In this case, I need to continue to find 50 icebergs like this one to get rid of the ice hockey remains." Shen Cong calculated.
