Chapter 487 Skin or Armor?

After solving the problem of the language system, Lv Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi turned their attention back to the giant fish's skin.

Looking at the various test data in the holographic projection, the two fell into silence.

"This is definitely not something that can grow from a living organism." Mao Zhengzhi said confidently, "If this thing grows naturally, I will go to the Ice Giant to eat a giant fish!"

Lv Yongchang: "...Are you sure?"

Perhaps thinking of the flag set by Academician Cao Liangcai, looking at Lv Yongchang's teasing eyes, Mao Zhengzhi raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose with a guilty conscience.

"Are you sure?"

"Anyway, I don't believe that a living organism made of cells can grow this alloy from its body!"

"Don't forget, there is a fusion reactor in the giant fish!" Mao Zhengzhi lowered his voice to remind Lv Yongchang, "Do you think these giant fish are man-made products?"

"There may be advanced civilizations living in the depths of this liquid ammonia ocean!"

Lv Yongchang looked at Mao Zhengzhi, who was talking nonsense, with a look like a fool: "Then why do these giant fish still use such an ancient way of communication?"

"Isn't electromagnetic wave communication good?"

"Quantum super Is the distance communication not working well? "

Mao Zhengzhi's expression choked: "..."

"Ahem!"

"I, I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere..."

Lv Yongchang waved his hand helplessly: "There are too few samples. I guess we have to wait until the next exploration..."

"Professor."

"The [Poseidon] exploration ship has some abnormalities."

The moment the voice sounded, Zero's virtual image appeared beside Lu Yongchang: "After comprehensive evaluation, I think you should be interested in this abnormality."

"[Poseidon]?"

Lv Yongchang frowned subconsciously.

A few days passed, and if it weren't for Zero's words, he would have almost forgotten this abandoned exploration ship-although the various sensors inside it are still conscientiously providing humans with all kinds of data.

"Has the giant fish not given up yet?" Mao Zhengzhi exclaimed, "It's so stubborn, I really don't know why it does this..."

Lv Yongchang didn't say anything, but nodded to Zero's virtual image.

The next moment, Zero's virtual image turned into light particles and dissipated in the air, and a holographic projection appeared in the same position.

"After a long period of impact, [Poseidon] currently only has the main searchlight and main camera still working normally." Zero explained softly, "Just five minutes ago, the armor at the rear of the exploration ship was damaged in a small area under the impact of the giant fish."

Lv Yongchang frowned: "So, what is the abnormal situation you are talking about?"

Under Zero's control, the exploration ship turned an angle with difficulty.

The holographic image slowly rotated.

Under the strong light of the main searchlight, an amazing picture appeared in front of the two.

The tail of the giant fish, which was originally dark brown, was stained with some silver-white substances.

"This..." A guess flashed through Lv Yongchang's mind, and he took a step forward with excitement, "Is this the armor on the surface of the exploration ship?"

"After comparing all aspects, yes." Zero confirmed Lv Yongchang's guess.

"I understand... I understand!"

Lv Yongchang clapped his hands vigorously: "You are right, that is not something that grows on the giant fish!"

"That thing is not skin at all!"

"We have all been misled!"

Mao Zhengzhi naturally understood what Lv Yongchang meant.

At this moment, he was also a little excited.

On the one hand, it was because the mystery that had troubled them for several days was finally solved.

On the other hand, he sighed from the bottom of his heart-he didn't have to go to the ice giant to eat giant fish.

"It's just..." After a brief excitement, a trace of doubt flashed in Lv Yongchang's eyes, "How did it get the armor of the [exploration ship] on itself?"

Mao Zhengzhi shrugged: "It may be some kind of mucus secreted from its body."

"Wait and see, maybe it will demonstrate it to us in person soon."

...

Just as Mao Zhengzhi said.

After the armor was damaged, the stability of the [exploration ship] has been greatly reduced.

After two collisions, another huge piece of silver-white armor fell off the hull and slowly sank to the dark liquid ammonia seabed.

The silver-white armor was full of scratches and collisions.

Just like the dark brown "armor" on the giant fish.

"Zero!"

Looking at the violently vibrating and shaking picture in front of him, Lu Yongchang said excitedly: "Adjust the posture of the exploration ship immediately! Keep up with the movements of the giant fish, I want to see what it did!"

The picture gradually stabilized, and the scene in it gradually became clear.

I saw a streamlined giant fish, after a short acceleration, fiercely hitting the side of its body against the silver-white armor.

Through the high-precision camera, it can be clearly seen that the surface of the giant fish is covered with a layer of transparent mucus.

A dull sound came along the liquid ammonia seawater, and at the same time, the silver-white armor was tightly attached to the side of the giant fish.

After confirming that the silver-white armor was attached to the body surface, the giant fish stopped moving and quietly suspended in the liquid ammonia seawater.

The exploration ship gradually approached and "pushed" the camera to the side of the giant fish.

More and more transparent mucus gradually covered the silver-white armor.

Then, under the gaze of Lv Yongchang and Mao Zhengzhi, the flowing mucus gradually solidified.

The silver-white armor, like a layer of skin, was firmly attached to the surface of the giant fish, just like the dark brown unknown alloy.

The giant fish swung its body and moved again.

Bang!

After a short wait, the exploration ship was knocked away again.

But this time, the picture disappeared after a violent shake.

Obviously, the camera on the exploration ship was completely damaged in this collision.

Lv Yongchang waved his hand gently and "threw" the holographic projection in front of him aside: "It seems that this trip to the ice giant was not wrong."

Mao Zhengzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't expect that hitting hard objects is the nature and instinct of these giant fish."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there must be some special mineral resources deep in the liquid ammonia ocean."

"The "armor" on the giant fish is probably "cast" there."

"Ore with such high strength, after processing, should be able to become the hull material of asteroid-class battleships!" Lv Yongchang's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he gave the order without thinking, "Zero, expand production capacity!"

"Increase the number of [Poseidon II] exploration ships."

"Mobilize three [engineering ships] and three [Taotie] material reserve ships, and go to the ice giant after completing the material reserve!"

"Wait until the language system is cracked and start the second mineral exploration project!"

PS: This book is finally going to be one million words. To be honest, I didn't expect to write so much... Thanks again to all the readers for their support!
