Voyage of the Stars

Chapter 253 Pangu Continent

Before confirming the safety of the planet, humans are not in a hurry to land, but continue to wait for the detection information of various probes.

Now, artificial satellites have completed global networking, and various unmanned probes have begun to land on the surface of the planet. It will not be long before those things hidden under the clouds and in the dense jungle will be discovered by humans.

Of course, there is also the deep sea.

Human flying probes not only have to land, but also enter the seabed for detection, trying not to miss any corner of the planet. This is a basic operation.

As deep-water probes enter the ocean, the ocean profile of this planet has also been unveiled by humans.

Countless strange aquatic creatures come into human eyes. They look strange, but most of them follow one characteristic, that is, streamlined body.

With the exploration experience of Wolf Biosphere, humans understand that streamlined body is the result of natural selection. Basically, those living in water will become streamlined when they evolve to a certain stage.

Compared with the scientific exploration of gas planets, people prefer to watch various pictures sent back by probes from rocky planets. The reason is that life is prosperous.

Therefore, on the bridges of major warships, many people were watching the scenes on their screens. These scenes are first-hand information, and after one or two days, the Propaganda Department will broadcast them to the residential spacecraft at its discretion.

The news that ordinary people can get on the residential spacecraft will naturally be later than the government departments responsible for landing detection, but it will not be concealed forever.

"It looks like a fish, let's call it an alien fish," said a person on a certain spacecraft, pointing to a group of aquatic creatures in the picture.

Another person pointed to the split screen next to him: "Wow, what kind of animal is this? It's really big. It looks a bit like the Mosasaur in the history of Earth's creatures."

"Fuck, it scares me, this bloody mouth." One person saw that in the impact, a creature with a round mouth suddenly opened its mouth towards the detector, as if it regarded the detector as prey.

Yue Yuan on the Tianqin also watched for a long time and found that the creature that looked like a Mosasaur seemed to be the largest marine creature.

Judging from the pictures and labeled data sent back by the detector, the length of this creature reached about 19 meters, and the estimated weight was in the range of 20 to 30 tons.

It has limbs that have not yet fully turned into fins, or fins that may be turning into limbs, and a limb plus a tail that swings up and down to drive swimming.

This is the largest marine creature discovered by humans so far, but it is not certain whether there are larger creatures.

Although artificial satellites have been networked and many probes have been sent out, a planet is too big, especially on the seabed. Hundreds of probes dive for detection at the same time, and it is impossible to complete the detection of all sea areas in a short time.

Detection on land is relatively easier, but it is not possible to see everything as soon as the artificial satellite is turned on.

After all, the environment of a planet is not only plains, but also mountains, grass, forests and other various landforms. Many creatures living in jungles or caves are difficult to see directly from outer space.

Therefore, small exploration spacecrafts must conduct near-earth flight detection and unmanned probe robot ground detection.

Under such probes, many terrestrial creatures have also been discovered by humans. They look very different from Earth creatures, but they have one thing in common, that is, most of them have four limbs, not six or eight limbs.

There are also flying creatures, but no flying creatures with feathers all over their bodies have been seen. What the detectors have seen are basically flying creatures with fleshy wings.

These flying creatures are much larger than those on Earth. Just as they have begun to conduct near-earth exploration, humans have discovered several flying creatures with wingspans of five or six meters.

Whenever a small exploration spacecraft flies through the jungle-covered sky, it always scare away a group of such flying creatures.

According to the Earth, this planet can be said to have all kinds of birds, beasts, fish and insects. Not only are there many species, but it also presents a taste of a biodiversity explosion.

As one creature after another is discovered, this planet gradually gives humans a feeling of the Cambrian biological explosion.

"What a treasure trove!" Yue Yuan couldn't help but sigh as he watched such scenes of prosperous life.

Then he looked at the general situation of this planet and found that its land area and ocean area are almost half each, and the magical thing is that its land is almost a whole piece except for some scattered small islands.

Such a large continent is all stuck together, which can be called Pangu Continent.

The entire continent spans the equator, runs through the North and South Poles, and there are vast oceans on both sides of the continent. Such a geographical environment also makes this continent form a corresponding environment.

The continent is surrounded by sufficient water vapor and lush vegetation. The closer to the center of the continent, the drier the climate and the sparser the vegetation. Therefore, in the central part of the continent, there are basically large deserts.

However, it is somewhat different from the desert landforms that people know. The deserts on this planet are not all connected, but are separated by some high mountains and mountain ranges towering in the clouds, dividing them into pieces of desert.

The highest mountain on the planet is located in the desert, with an altitude of about 15,000 meters. And the area where the highest peak is located is a stretch of mountains with snow on it.

Because the highest peak is located in the continent, the snow melts and flows down. When passing through the desert area, it washes out a river of more than 4,000 kilometers for this continent.

The small probe spacecraft flew over the Great Desert and found that this place was almost a forbidden zone for life, and there were few large creatures.

After crossing the barren area in the center of the continent, they gradually came to an area with lush grass and water. Here, it was all forests, extending from the front of the probe to the horizon, all purple.

It was completely different from the central area.

In the transition area between these two extreme areas, there was an area with moderate vegetation density. In a flat area in this area, human probes discovered many large animals.

Animals the size of elephants were everywhere, and countless large and small creatures were in groups, some eating vegetation, and some were performing hunting scenes one after another.

All kinds of scenes made people feel as if they had returned to the Jurassic era, because these animals were really big, even bigger than the mosasaur-like creatures discovered in the ocean before, but unfortunately they didn't look like dinosaurs at all.

"No traces of intelligent life have been found. Could it be a primitive life planet?" Yue Yuan glanced at the big screen again and found no traces of intelligent life.

There were quite a few animals walking on two legs, but none of them were obviously not created by nature.
