Black Technology: Start with the Space Jumper

Chapter 18 Natural Disaster and Departure

"There are too many volcanoes on this planet, right?"

"I've driven the Silver Star for thousands of kilometers, right? But I can see a volcano! A volcano! It's still a volcano!"

Lu Yu didn't just stay in place to observe for a month. He wanted to keep some tools that he rubbed out with his hands. If he couldn't bring them into the cockpit, he had to have a stable external environment. Frequent earthquakes made him make up his mind early. Mountains and mountains leave this land of right and wrong.

Although the Silver Star has only four small wheels with short legs, the special performance of the armor makes it immune to the four basic forces and at the same time spatially anchored in the three-dimensional world, so that it will not be thrown out due to the movement of the planet.

And because the Silver Star only exhibits the characteristics of virtual points in three dimensions, Lu Yu can even drive it vertically along the huge tree trunk to climb to the top of the tree.

It was not strenuous to move through the potholes in the jungle, but the distance was much longer. After Lu Yu found the river, the situation improved a lot.

The Silver Star is like a weightless object, floating directly on the water surface and moving on wheels, using water as its road.

Although there will be mountains and rocks blocking the way, the silver stars slide over the rocks as smoothly as real mercury.

The cockpit will not feel bumps at all, after all, even the explosion of a supernova will not affect it.

Even if it was not a problem in terms of movement, after leaving the river for a considerable distance, Lu Yu found that there were too many active volcanoes on this planet!So many that Lu Yu could see the crater emitting black smoke no matter which direction he left.

"We speculate that the state of this planet is similar to the geographical environment of Blue Star 1 million years ago, and it is very likely that it is in the active period of the crust, which matches the phenomenon of frequent earthquakes we observed."

"Geologists believe that during this period, there may even be earthquakes that can break the continental plate, which has exceeded the magnitude and intensity of earthquakes that humans currently distinguish."

Professor Mao analyzed the conjectures made by the expert group for Lu Yu. Now the base has expanded to more than 200 members of the expert group serving as Lu Yu's external brain. They come from various industries, from quantum physics professors to fitness coaches, and they all have one purpose. ——Do your best to solve the problems in front of Lu Yu.

Lu Yu frowned and asked, "Then the plan to build a simple scientific research base on this planet is in vain?"

"There is no need to be so pessimistic. No matter how active the crustal movement is, there must be relatively calm areas."

Professor Mao on the phone screen opened a photo taken by Lu Yu: "Although the Silver Star does not have the ability to fly, we can rely on its characteristics to find a big river as our communication line."

"In this way...as long as we don't suddenly encounter some kind of earth-shattering earthquake, we can always find a place suitable for the base plan."

Lu Yu nodded in agreement. Compared with drifting in the emptiness and cold space, he still prefers to develop on a living planet.

At this time, the Silver Star was standing still in the middle of the rushing river. In front of it was a waterfall with a small drop. From here, the river could be vaguely seen meandering in the jungle.

Just as Lu Yu was about to end this conversation and continue on his way, he saw a gigantic monster squeezed out of the bushes on the river bank. It had a pair of huge gray ivory, and its huge body was covered with thick scales. The alien creature named Gray-toothed Elephant swayed and stretched out its nose towards the river, drinking the water.

Such a beast is a herbivore, and Lu Yu failed to record this alien creature several times.

This was a rare opportunity. He was about to open the hatch when the river shook violently without warning, and everything on this planet seemed to shake.

The earthquake came again.

This earthquake lasted for about three to five minutes. In fact, the shock was very violent for the first two minutes, and then gradually calmed down. It took only about five minutes to stop completely.

When all the vibrations stopped, Lu Yu was able to see everything around him again, and he could see the intensity and frequency of the vibrations.

At this moment, the jungle below is glowing red, and lava can even be seen overflowing in many places.

A deep crack extended from the end of the ground, and the river water below the waterfall poured in crazily. The rising white water vapor quickly formed local heavy rain when it was cold, but it couldn't stop the fire that spread due to the overflow of lava.

Lu Yu was no longer in the mood to observe any alien creatures. As soon as he controlled the Silver Star to turn around, he saw the volcano that he had just crossed not long ago. The magma was continuously ejected from the crater to hundreds of meters into the air, and the volcanoes around it coincided with each other. The explosion turned the original blue sky into red and black.

More violent earthquakes are coming again!
The landslide was even just the prelude to this earthquake. It seemed that the ground around the Silver Star collapsed. It was really turned upside down. The whole land was squeezed by both ends, and it was broken and closed from the middle like a biscuit. Lift slowly.

Lu Yu in the cockpit was naturally unharmed. After everything calmed down, he looked outside, but saw that it was pitch black outside, but it was not the deep darkness in the universe, but a color similar to pitch black soil.

In the earthquake that just broke out, the Silver Star was probably buried deep in the ground, and it couldn't move even if it tried to use the wheels, as if it was stuck in the ground and couldn't move.

"Um"

Professor Mao, who had made a prophecy, no longer knew what to say, but Lu Yu made a judgment immediately after several attempts to confirm that he could not leave here by ordinary means.

"Use points in exchange for black technology products to get out of trouble."

"Or you can only use space jump to leave."

Stay or leave forever.

Change to a black-tech drill bit that drills through the rock and soil, and then continue guerrilla scientific research and observation on the planet with frequent earthquakes?
Or step into the sea of ​​stars again to meet the next miraculous opportunity?
Gambling for luck is never a good way, Lu Yu's consciousness sank into his mind, and he planned to see if the system could provide some black technology products to solve the predicament.

The result was that Lu Yu felt his own poverty again, and with 25 points, he couldn't exchange for the equipment that would allow the Silver Star to leave here.

"That means there is only one choice left."

This living planet is the first time humans have discovered a planet with extraterrestrial life, so Lu Yu got 25 points from it.

This is not Blue Star after all, and it is not home after all. Even if a simple scientific research base is established here, Lu Yu will eventually leave.

I just didn't expect this day to come so fast and so suddenly.

After staying in the dark underground for two days, after confirming that there was no external force to help him escape, Lu Yu's final choice was to pull the switch of the space jump.

"despair!"

A new journey started again, and Lu Yu was even mentally prepared for another long time of aimless drifting in the deep universe.

But just after the space jump was completed, Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

The yellow sand outside the Silver Star is long, and the towering buildings stand not far away like a mirage.

And even closer, there are scattered steel fragments, like the wreckage of a spaceship in a science fiction novel!
The previous jump was to a living planet, but this time it was actually a planet with civilization?

Looking at everything in front of him, Lu Yu's expression looked like he was drawing a card with Yangshou.
