Star Civilization: I loaded the MOD

Chapter 37 Going deep into the mountain

August 25, 2200.

It's past noon, and the archaeological operation led by Aisha has made progress.

At a depth of 114 meters in the mine below Lishan Mountain Camp, there is a majestic stone palace left by an ancient alien civilization. The excavation team did not damage the integrity of the excavation site.

The loud sound of the huge object moving indicated that the thick gate was officially dismantled.

Under the leadership of Aisha, the excavation team followed cautiously into the temple.

The mysterious architectural style, complex and magnificent decorations and caves are arranged in an orderly manner in the four directions of the front hall.

Gorgeous and complex works of art are regarded as [rare cultural relics] and are treated like treasures and shipped out one by one.

Front hall, side hall, main hall.

Dozens of people, under Aisha's command or spontaneous actions, kept moving forward to carry out protective excavations.

All rare cultural relics are placed in Gudu Civilization display boxes, which are dust-free and sterile with maximum protection.

In addition, because most of the cultural relics are made of stone and crystal carvings, they are strong and durable without being delicate at all.

The team members tied them up without mercy and transported them out one ton after another, sweeping them away.

The original stone bridges and mines were also artificially expanded and consolidated, which greatly facilitated the transportation of materials.

The harvesting process progressed quite smoothly until entering the apse.

The members of the vanguard team discovered that the entire stone palace, which is half hidden in the mountain, has a symmetrical structure. The front hall at the entrance is symmetrical to the back hall at the end. There is a sealed gate in the front hall, and the back hall also has a sealed gate.

It is no different from the stone door at the front door.

The excavation team was busy until the early morning of the next day, when the same banging sound as yesterday echoed in people's ears, and the stone door was moved out of its proper position, and then slowly moved.

At this point, the spectacular stone temple carved on the cliff was completely opened.

Amidst the sound of the stone door sliding, the team members watched expectantly as the gate was slowly dismantled.

The difficulty that had troubled them all day was finally over.

"Honestly, I can't even tell which one is the real front door in this stone hall, the front hall or the back hall."

The speaker was Bana, who was wearing a tight-fitting white life-support suit with auxiliary life-support equipment hanging on her back. She looked up at the demolition of the gate through a transparent visor.

The interior of the stone hall is basically completely symmetrical. From the structure, it is impossible to tell whether they entered through the front door or the back door, and the small amount of writing in the hall cannot be deciphered.

"Then it depends on its function. Is the stone palace a two-way passage inside and outside the mountain, or a line of defense from the inside to the outside."

Hearing the question in the earphone, Aisha answered calmly and stared behind the door intently.

Unfortunately, the sight was blocked by the rapidly moving stone door, so there was no room left for a short time.

The cold wind slowly but unstoppably poured into the space behind the door, roaring with howling music, and conducting the first gas exchange in countless years.

The Gudu people present had anticipated this situation and were all protected by life-support suits.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

A sudden and rapid siren sounded from an instrument not far from the wind outlet, attracting curious glances from nearby teammates.

The man in front of the instrument was stunned for a short time and then hurriedly ran over, shouting loudly as he ran.

"Poisonous! Lady Elsa! The air is poisonous!"

The shouting coming from the earphones made her frown, and Aisha held down the running person and comforted her.

"Yuzi, everyone is wearing life support suits, and I can hear it through the headphones."

Yuzi reacted instantly. The vitamins he took were built-in oxygen, and he quickly bowed and apologized.

"I'm sorry, Lady Elsa."

"Just now the gas analyzer suddenly warned that there was a large amount of carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide mixed in the air."

"Probably behind the door..."

Yuzu pointed to the fully opened gate. It was self-evident that the toxic gas was released from there.

"Methane? It's not surprising that mountains with coal deposits are rich in methane."

"A lot of hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide. Is there a volcano here?"

Bana was thinking, recalling the knowledge she had learned but never used, with a puzzled look on her face.

However, no volcanoes have been observed in the Lishan Mountains. The depth of 100 meters here is also 108,000 meters away from the depths of the mantle.

"Maybe there is a hotspot on the planet down there." Aisha pondered for a moment and laughed twice before explaining.

"Thermal energy inside the Earth's core releases hot energy and rises. The cylindrical flow of material rushing into the mantle layer is called a mantle plume. The magma pouring out from the mantle plume is a hot spot."

"To put it simply and loosely, hot spots will continue to emit magma."

On the planet Godu, there are only a few volcanic activities related to hot spots. Active volcanoes are a problem that cannot be avoided on the planet Gaia, because the earth's core needs to be constantly active.

But thanks to the planetary transformation of the ancient Star Shaper civilization, the planet Gaia has maintained the stability of its continental plate tectonics for hundreds of millions of years.

Gudu Star will not have more active volcanoes one day.

"Youzi, I want you to inform the camp to take protective measures."

"yes!"

Yuzi responded, threw down the monitoring equipment, and followed the order and ran towards the mine with small steps.

"Captain, are you really not from the [New World Theory] branch of the Academy of Social Sciences? How do I feel... Sigh~" Bana, the team's 'former geographical adventure enthusiast', reacted and sighed blankly.

To be honest, she always thought that she was the geography expert in the team. She studied in five days and went to the cave in three years.

The crew members who can join the first batch of scientific research ship teams must have rich knowledge and outstanding abilities.

She is one of those explorers who knows a little bit about everything, has excellent military qualities, and is experienced, so she is lucky enough to become an ordinary crew member.

As for Captain Aisha, I know that she is from the Academy of Engineering Sciences and worked as a deputy director of scientific research, but I don’t know much about the rest because the circles are different.

"Hmph~ Little Bana is so flat-chested and so ignorant." Seeing this, Xing Lai mocked viciously before Aisha could speak.

"The Academy of Engineering has a docking and exchange relationship with the [New World Theory] branch of the Academy of Social Sciences. For example, this kind of planetary plate movement is full of scientific research materials."

Bana heard this and glanced at Aisha, as if looking for an answer.

Aisha nodded helplessly at her, acknowledging this, and then patted Xinglai's glass visor, making a clanging sound.

"Okay, I know you two have a good relationship, so don't be naughty."

"It just so happens that the stone gate has been completely demolished. Let's take a team to go in and have a look."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked to the right. A small group of people had already prepared to enter the stone gate and explore. She turned her head and looked back and forth with gestures.

Aisha walked to the equipment and took off the new oxygen tank, took a deep breath to quickly switch the built-in oxygen to the backup, and then replaced the main oxygen tank.

The small and sophisticated oxygen tank is only the size of a palm, enough for her to breathe throughout the day.

"Huh...this is Aisha, a small team, bring your equipment and prepare for action."

He pressed his finger to change the channel. Not long after, eight other members of the team came over, and the eleven-member team stood at the entrance of the cave.

This time, all members of Team 1 will participate in the exploration operation collectively. It can be said that they are a neat team.

With other teams, there is no longer a need for three people to explore and eight people to assist in logistics.

Sensing the movement of their vanguard team, the people in the stone palace all looked at the exploration team. As the captain and person-in-charge, Aisha personally led the team deep into the unknown.

Both parties perform their own duties, and one team is responsible for operations, so they are now logistics personnel.

Team members Qi Sensen saluted, and the support staff also saluted in unison.

In the silence of the wind, nothing needs to be said.

The tap-tat-tat of footsteps reappeared, reaching other people's ears through their masks, as if they were stepping on the rhythm of their heart's beating, pounding and powerful.

Aisha led the fully equipped team members and turned through the stone gate into the wind into the unfamiliar tunnel without looking back.

After reading, please vote and eat. Don’t let Qunxingwen starve to death...

There are group numbers related to the works.
