Chapter 341 Minaret
"Huh?" Clara stared at Aurora suspiciously and looked at her for a few times.
"Is there any problem?" Aurora asked in confusion when she felt the suspicious sight from Clara.
"I just seemed to see a fly flying out of you." Clara said after hesitating.
"Fly?" Aola said disbelief: "How is it possible, are you dazzled?"
"Well, maybe."
After looking around, I couldn't find the flashing black spots just now. Clara also had a little doubt if she was dazzled.
After a while, everyone took off their protective suits.
When people breathe directly at the air of this alien planet, they actually didn't feel much difference from the air on the earth. If they insisted on it, they were a little cold.
But soon, in just a few minutes, they each felt their chests dull and their minds dizzy.
"Everyone speeds up the action."
Babs struggled to pick up the device and secured it with a rope.
Every ten minutes, they have to temporarily stop working, enter the armored vehicle to breathe fresh air, and relieve the physical fatigue caused by exceeding the standard carbon dioxide. If it were not for these excess carbon dioxide, the rich and appropriate oxygen content would make them more energetic.
To work in this way, a group of seven people worked one after another for more than two hours before they could barely transport the required equipment and materials to the fault. Then they pulled the people up with ropes to complete the preparations for departure.
"The rotation time of this planet is about 26 hours, and we still have 7 hours of daytime..."
After looking at the time, Babs released the number to everyone.
Although the sky is indeed very dark, it has not reached the level of darkness, and it is still much more convenient than complete darkness. With the observations over the past month, this area is always covered with thick dark clouds. At night, it is so dark that it is so dark that it cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye that it is impossible to see anything clearly. There is no starlight and moonlight from the sky that can be illuminated.
"Then let's get on the road quickly."
Hearing the words from Babs, Nichi cheered up and walked forward.
A soldier was left here to guard two cars, and the other six people immediately embarked on the journey to the "Spire of the Black".
It seems that it is only a few miles away from the spire, but in fact, when walking with heavy supplies, the distance of several miles is also a heavy number that cannot be ignored. Babs and two other soldiers with good physical fitness can still hold on. Among the other three, Clara, as a zoologist, lives in the wild all year round and has good physical fitness, but Aolola and Nich are not good.
Only a small portion of the supplies were shared, but after walking less than half a mile in his bloated protective suit, Nich waved his hand and shouted, "Can you take a break?"
"Can't hold on?"
Pabs, who was walking in the front, heard his shouts and turned around to look at him.
"Rest for a while, my God, I haven't exercised for such a long distance in a long time."
Nich gasped: "The things I carried were too heavy, they were like a Mount Olympus pressing against me, and my heart was beating violently with every step."
"Okay, everyone will take a break."
Seven hours are usually enough for them to go back and forth. The most important thing is that on this alien planet, you must save your physical strength. Otherwise, when you don’t have the physical strength to save yourself at critical moments, no one can save you.
He knew this, so when Nichi had a tired look, he ordered a rest.
After two consecutive breaks, they were getting closer and closer to the artificial building, and the discussion between them began.
"What do you think this spire looks like?"
Clara asked curiously.
"Lighthouse?" Olola said a word.
"Lighthouse? Wait, do you think it's like a lighthouse, the kind of lighthouse on the sea?"
"Yes." Olola nodded, looking at the closer spire, showing a puzzled expression.
"I don't think it's like a lighthouse."
Nich interrupted, "Don't you think it's more like a sharp sword? A sharp sword that emerges from the strata."
"No need to guess, we'll be here soon. Save some energy."
Babs interrupted the conversation between them and let the discussion end.
It was indeed as Babs said that they were about to reach the spire, and these miles of distance took them more than three hours.
arrive.
It is less than a few dozen meters away from the black spire.
When they watched this black spire far away, they felt that the artificial building was already very magnificent and towering. When they arrived dozens of meters away, they looked up and felt that they were standing at the bottom of the skyscraper. Compared with the conventional shape of the skyscraper, the black spire brought heavy pressure to everyone because of its strange shape. They looked at it for a few more times and even their eyes were attracted by the spire.
"It's so strange, why do I feel my heartbeat is accelerating?" Touching the part of my heart, Clara retracted her gaze on the spire and said in a silence.
"I'm a little uncomfortable, too." Olola frowned, not like Clara's personal illusion.
"89.2ngy/h, the radiation background is within the normal range..."
Holding the radiation dose inspection instrument, Nich reported the radiation background value in the current environment.
This radiation value is normal and will not cause any harm to the human body.
The air detector brought by Olola did not call the alarm, which means that the nearby atmospheric environment has always been in a normal range. Except for the slightly higher carbon dioxide, everything is no different from the way we came.
"Maybe you're too tired."
Babs didn't feel much. He stared at the spire and walked forward without looking back.
Seeing Captain Babs walking over like this, the rest had to follow closely.
If the spire building had a lot of radiation or emitted other toxic gases, they would have monitored it long ago. Since the environment was normal, they had to breathe a sigh of relief and continue to approach the spire.
"What are those?"
Finally, they came to the bottom of the spire. Everyone looked up and found parallel stripes engraved on the surface of the spire. The middle was mixed with unknown symbols, gradually spreading towards the spire, and finally gathered at one point.
"What symbol are these?"
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect that there would be stripes and symbols on this dark spire.
"It seems to be obsidian."
Nich leaned closer to observe and took a deep breath: "This big piece of obsidian is incredible."
Obsidian is formed by cooling the magma flowing out of volcanic lava. Generally speaking, it is impossible to have such a large whole. It is a bit surprising to Nich Deep.
"Captain, get closer and take pictures of the symbols on it."
In Babs' headphones, an order from General Hunter suddenly came.
"Okay, I get it."
Babs responded and turned to everyone and said, "Take the camera out and connect it to the Internet, and the general needs a clearer image."
When everyone was busy, a fly began to rise rapidly and circled around the strange spire.
With the shape of the basic cylinder as a rough structure, the diameter is about two meters and the height is at least more than one hundred and ten meters. As Nich said, the material of this spire may be a large amount of obsidian, at least it looks like this on the outside.
On the outer surface of the spire, the circles of circular stripes have no color, but are deeply sunken. Even those symbols are the same. Because everyone is separated from each other, they cannot find these strange stripes and symbols. Only when they get close can they find these deep-stained stripes symbols that are sunken.
The group was busy shooting these stripes below. Due to the limited equipment they carried, they could only photograph the stripes and symbols below. Lu Yuan controlled the fly robot to keep surrounding the spire, without any omissions to shoot all the traces.
