Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!
Chapter 264 The Lost Civilization
When He Youpeng said these words, he obviously had no regard for personal life and death.
If all the hundreds of proton cannons stored on the starship were poured out, they would indeed have the terrifying power to destroy the entire planet.
However, the consequences of that would be catastrophic. Not only would the planet be reduced to rubble, but they themselves would also be wiped out in this catastrophe, with no bones left.
Just when He Youpeng was about to order generals, Li Ming suddenly took the lead and said: "Xingmei, just stay on the starship and wait for orders."
Others, including He Youpeng, were slightly stunned and seemed a little surprised by Li Ming's sudden decision.
But before they could speak, Belinda half-jokingly agreed: "It is indeed a good choice for Xingmei to stay on the starship. As for the others, I am worried that they will not be able to make up their mind at the critical moment."
These genetic warriors may have been determined to sacrifice their lives for civilization and were mentally prepared for the worst, but their players did not have this awareness.
Therefore, no matter how bad the situation becomes, the proton cannon must never be used.
And the only way to ensure this is to keep players on the starship.
Now that Li Ming has taken the initiative to propose this suggestion, Belinda will naturally give her full support.
He Youpeng glanced at Li Ming, Belinda and the cold-tempered Xing Mei in turn, and finally nodded.
Since both deputy commanders valued this white-haired girl so much, he had no reason to object.
Then, the hatch slowly opened, and everyone jumped into the vast space one by one.
After everyone had jumped, Li Ming seemed to stay at the end intentionally or unintentionally.
He quickly walked to Xingmei and whispered two words into her ear.
Xingmei was slightly startled after hearing this, but then nodded heavily, "I understand."
Dozens of people fell rapidly to the ground in free fall. Their figures dragged out long trajectories in the high-speed fall, like meteors streaking across the sky, forming a rather spectacular scene.
Feeling the whistling wind in his ears, Li Ming carefully scanned the environment on the ground.
When he descended to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, towering chimney-shaped peaks suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The shapes of these peaks are very regular and the arrangement is very neat. They don't look like they were formed naturally at all.
However, he was obviously not the only one who discovered the anomaly.
He Youpeng's voice soon came over the headset. He said in a serious tone: "There are a large number of cylindrical peaks on the right side. They don't look normal. Let's go over and investigate."
After everyone heard this, they immediately started their flying devices, quickly curbed the momentum of the rapid fall, and flexibly adjusted their direction of travel, speeding straight towards that strange place.
As the distance got closer, everyone was shocked to find that these cylindrical peaks were thousands of meters high and more than a hundred meters in diameter.
There are no trees growing on the mountain peak, but it is covered by layers of yellow-green vines. They are intertwined and intertwined like a thick green carpet, making the entire mountain peak full of life.
The sight in front of him made Li Ming more and more certain that this was definitely not a natural wonder, but an artificial construction.
The force of nature may be able to shape strange mountain peaks, but such a regular and orderly arrangement can only be the product of careful design by intelligent creatures.
This also reveals the fact that advanced civilization once existed on Planet N.
"Things are really not that simple." Li Ming thought to himself.
An hour later, everyone landed at the foot of one of the cylindrical peaks.
"What is this? It shouldn't be a naturally formed mountain peak, right?" Cecily's eyes were full of doubts.
Li Ming nodded slightly and replied: "It is indeed not naturally formed. I just detected it and found that the main structure of these peaks is an unknown metal. Its strength is probably equivalent to activated gallium."
"It looks like a chimney. There won't be any super power station built underground." Yunshan's guess was a bit whimsical.
Cecily laughed after hearing this, "What kind of garbage power station needs so many chimneys?"
"This arrangement is a bit like the structure of a rocket engine." Li Ming touched his chin and expressed his guess, but with a bit of uncertainty.
"Huh?" Cecily showed a surprised expression, "What do you want to do by installing so many huge rocket engines on the planet? Escape from this solar system?"
At this time, others also noticed something unusual.
Everyone peeled off the vines covering the outside of the mountain and were surprised to find that there was a metal structure inside.
Although the exterior has suffered severe corrosion and has become pitted and devastated, the internal structure is still strong and steadily supports the majestic body up to a kilometer high.
After confirming that these cylindrical peaks were artificial structures, He Youpeng quickly organized an emergency meeting.
Regarding these mysterious giant "chimneys", many people agree with Li Ming and tend to believe that they are part of some kind of planetary engine.
Otherwise it's really hard to explain what these things are for.
"If these giant structures are really planetary engines, then what is the real purpose of building them? Is it to escape from this specific space area?" A strong man asked his own question.
"It's not impossible." A woman with short hair next to him said, "A planet with such a suitable environment, but without any animals living on it, is a sign of extreme danger."
He Youpeng fell into deep thought for a short time, and then he asked the woman next to him who was observing the instrument data: "Si Xue, have the test results come out?"
"When it comes out, the proportion of nitrogen and oxygen is 98%, other rare gases and mixed gases such as water vapor account for about 1%, and another 1% is gas of unknown composition."
Si Xue turned her head, with an inexplicable look in her eyes.
"Unknown gas?" He Youpeng was deeply surprised. He glanced at the JC-540 detector next to him in confusion and asked, "Can't even detect it with the most advanced instruments in the Federation?"
"Yes, this unknown component exists not only in the air, but also in the soil and water sources." Si Xue further added.
"Perhaps it is this unknown ingredient that leads to the absence of animals on this planet, and as super humans, we may not be aware of this." Someone expressed their speculation.
After hearing this, a middle-aged woman next to her slowly shook her head and said in a deep voice: "This still cannot explain the disappearance. Don't forget, one of our genetic warriors is on the list of missing persons."
He Youpeng took a deep breath, turned to Li Ming and Belinda, and asked, "What do you two think about this?"
"Maybe we should go to the missing place. After all, that is where the whole incident originated." Li Ming replied calmly.
In fact, when he realized that these cylindrical peaks were planetary engines, the originally broken clues had been connected into a complete chain.
"I think so too." Belinda replied softly.
