It's reasonable for me to have a two-way foil for a second-level civilization, right?

Bang!

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

Only this time, the screen disappeared after a violent shake.

Apparently, the camera on the survey ship was completely damaged in the impact.

Lu Yongchang waved his hand lightly, 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 wryly and shook his head: "I never thought that hitting hard objects is actually the nature and instinct of these giant fish."

"If there is no accident, there must be some special mineral resources in the depths of the liquid ammonia ocean."

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

"Ore with such a high strength should be able to become the hull material of an asteroid-class warship after processing!" Lu Yongchang's eyes were shining brightly, 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 storage ships, and head to the ice giant after completing the material storage!"

"When the language system cracking work is completed, start the second mineral exploration project!"

ps: This book is finally going to be 100 million words. To be honest, I didn’t expect to be able to write so many words... Thanks again for the support of all readers!

Chapter 488

half a month later.

The synchronous orbit of the ice giant, inside the [Glutton] material transport ship.

In order to maintain the strength of the body's muscles and bones, Hope and Hansent, as usual, are training in a simulated gravity chamber.

"Hope, when do you think we will start the second mission?"

While exercising, Hansen had nothing to say.

Hope rolled his eyes angrily.

"I said bro, when you were inside the ice giant, you wished you could come out quickly, but now that you're out, you're talking about the next mission every day."

"If I remember correctly, this should be the 47th time you have asked me this question."

"Tell me about you, what kind of mentality is this?"

Hansen put down the dumbbell in his hand with a smirk, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "The main reason is that this task has been pressing on my heart, and it is very uncomfortable."

"……call!"

Hope put down the exercise equipment in his hand, and exhaled forcefully.

"You have to ask the Academy of Sciences about this."

"Didn't Professor Lu already say that?"

"Only when we successfully decipher the language system of those amino giant fish can we start the next mission."

"Don't you still want to be kicked like a ball?"

Hearing this, Hansen shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, stop joking."

"I don't want to see that giant fish again."

"A few nights ago, every time I went to bed, I dreamed that a giant fish came out of my bed and hit me hard. That scene..." Hansen shuddered violently, "Now thinking about it, I feel oozy. people."

Hope shrugged, and turned his attention back to the exercise equipment in front of him again: "So, wait slowly."

"Maybe in the next second, Professor Lu will ask you to find giant fish in the liquid ammonia ocean?"

As he said that, Hope raised his eyebrows at his teammates narrowly: "At that time, you can enjoy the 'love' of the giant fish to your heart's content."

"You!" The corner of Hansent's mouth twitched violently.

Just when he was about to "greet" his bad friend, a holographic projection unfolded in front of him, interrupting the words that came to his mouth.

"Received a communication request from Dawn Star, connecting..."

The electronically synthesized sound without fluctuation rang in the ears of the two of them.

That was the voice of the shipboard AI One.

Hansent and Hope looked at each other.

"You did a good job!" Hansent glared at his teammates, and said to Hope with his lips.

As for Hope, he shrugged helplessly, and picked up a towel beside him to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

The video chat is connected.

"Hope, Hansent, good afternoon."

A gentle sound comes from the speaker.

"Good afternoon, Professor." Hope looked at the man in the picture and hurriedly greeted him.

"How is your physical condition?" Lv Yongchang chuckled, and asked again, "Did you relax during this time?"

Hope and Hansent naturally nodded again and again.

"Professor, have you successfully cracked the language system of the giant fish?" Hope asked after hesitating for a moment.

In the picture, Lu Yongchang nodded, then shook his head.

"It can be said that it has been cracked, but it is still close." Lu Yongchang stretched out his hand and gestured, "It is only a little bit away."

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Hope's heart.

He swallowed subconsciously: "Bad... What's the difference?"

Hearing Hope's question, Lu Yongchang immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face.

Obviously, he was waiting for the two to ask this question.

"According to sorting and speculation, we have successfully completed more than 90% of the language deciphering work."

"but!"

"As the saying goes, true knowledge comes from practice. Without experiments, we don't know if there are any problems with our translation."

"so……"

"Next, you need to go to the ice giant again."

"The [Poseidon II] exploration ship has been manufactured, and it is equipped with an ultrasonic generator." Lu Yongchang said with a smile, "You have to test the effect of this thing."

"If the effect is as expected..."

"Can we come back?" Hansen asked repeatedly with anticipation in his eyes.

What he gained was naturally Lu Yongchang's strange eyes.

"What are you kidding?"

Lu Yongchang looked at Hansen with weird eyes: "If this thing is useful, of course you will continue to carry out the unfinished exploration mission last time!"

"The [Poseidon II] exploration ship costs a lot to start up once, so we must make the most of it, right?"

Hansent swallowed with difficulty, and nodded silently.

"Professor, you are right."

"We are shallow."

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense anymore." Lu Yongchang clapped his hands, "You all know the research results during this period."

"The armor on the giant fish is most likely a mineral from the depths of the liquid ammonia ocean. Your goal is to follow the giant fish to find this mineral."

"There are already nine [Poseidon II] exploration ships on the production line. If there is no accident, you will have more companions in the future."

Hearing this, Hope and Hansent's eyes lit up slightly.

The two turned their heads to look at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

……

three days later.

A starship that looks very similar to the [Poseidon] exploration ship slowly sailed into the port of the [Glutton] material storage ship.

Hope and Hansent, who received the notice early, have already made all preparations.

Under Zero's control, the hatch of [Poseidon II] slowly opened.

Hope, who was waiting by the side, walked into the cockpit first.

"Huh!"

Hope sighed subconsciously: "This second-generation product is just different!"

"The cockpit is bigger than before!"

Hansen followed Hope closely and walked into the cockpit.

It is different from Hope's focus of attention.

Immediately, he saw playing cards, a chess board, and a small holographic game machine placed next to the driver's seat.

He nodded in satisfaction, with a smile in his eyes: "The professor really listened to my suggestion!"

"Without entertainment, I don't know how to survive the long dive time."

Hope didn't answer.

He quickly took a step forward, and quietly placed the game console next to his seat.

"Hey! You..." After discovering this, Hansen's face changed slightly, and he was about to ask for justice.

"Okay." Hope sat down on the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt skillfully, "It's time for us to go."

Hansen: "..."

Feeling the slight vibration from under his feet when the Hall propulsion device was activated, Hansent swallowed the words on his lips, and walked quickly to his seat.

next moment.

[Glutton] The closed port gate of the material storage ship is opened again.

The silver-white spherical starship slowly sailed away from the port, heading straight for the huge blue ice giant star.

Chapter 489 The First Communication

Like the previous experience of entering an ice giant, this time the journey was also without any danger.

After passing through the ammonia ice cloud and thunderstorm layer, the [Poseidon II] exploration ship rushed into the boundless liquid ammonia ocean accompanied by the pattering liquid ammonia rain.

Unlike the first-generation [Poseidon] exploration ship, the second-generation exploration ship canceled the original propeller propulsion device and replaced it with a water jet propulsion device in order not to arouse the "disgust" of the giant fish.

Compared with the propeller, although the propulsion efficiency is much lower, it is quieter.

Under the light of the searchlights, the dark sea was peaceful, as if there was no life in it.

But Hope and Hancent, who had experienced the last life-and-death crisis, would naturally not be deceived by this appearance.

They silently turned on the active sonar device, and steered the exploration ship towards the liquid ammonia ocean.

Similarly, in order not to arouse the "disgust" of the giant fishes, the active sonar devices have also undergone certain improvements-they use the same reference frequency as the giant fishes to detect the surrounding environment.

……

"From the 'look' of the giant fishes, this exploration ship may be a kind that can't speak."

The day before departure, Lu Yongchang said truthfully.

"Therefore, according to our guess, these curious giant fish may come over a long way when they hear this frequency."

"The purpose...of course is to watch the excitement."

"In their world, it should be very difficult for this kind of 'wonderful' to appear."

At that time, hearing Lu Yongchang's words, Hope and Hansent's expressions changed.

This is not as good as the first generation of exploration ships!

"Calm down, calm down." Lu Yongchang noticed the expressions of Hope and Hansent, and immediately smiled and comforted him, "Isn't there an ultrasonic generator?"

"After starting, it can transmit ultrasonic signals of various frequencies to the outside world."

"These signals can convey simple meanings to the giant fish, such as... don't approach, warning and so on."
