Chapter 115 Fish tank

  The planet in front of him is so special that Li Wenyuan couldn't help paying too much attention to it.

   This is a planet completely covered by the ocean, and there is no land on its surface.

  According to speculation, the average water depth of this planet can reach more than 8,000 meters, and the deepest depth is more than 20,000 meters.

   And such a planet rich in water resources is located near the black hole. No matter how you look at it, Li Wenyuan thinks this is what humans did.

  Due to the influence of tidal forces, this ocean planet is setting off huge waves almost all the time.

   This time it was really "monstrous". Under the surging waves, a thousand-meter-high water wall could be formed, scraping layer after layer on the surface of the planet.

  Such a huge wave has reduced the usual habitability here, not to mention the harsh space environment near a black hole.

   Strictly speaking, this place is not suitable for any intelligent life to live in.

  And this peculiar "big wave landscape" also made Li Wenyuan call this special ocean planet "big wave planet".

   After all, ocean planets can give birth to intelligent life. The "Turbulent First Empire" is a kind of aquatic organisms, and their origin is a gentle ocean planet.

  However, it is extremely difficult for this kind of giant wave planet to give birth to intelligent life, and the harsh surface environment prevents the possibility of the birth of complex life.

  Perhaps only under the deep sea can some special intelligent life appear.

  Li Wenyuan was very interested in the planet itself at first, after all, there is too much water here.

  Except for this giant wave planet, the rest of the planets in this black hole galaxy have become barren planets due to the harsh space environment, without any life.

   But this giant wave planet is obviously about the same size as other planets, but its atmosphere has not dissipated, and the water is firmly locked on the surface of the planet.

  The situation that looks different, Li Wenyuan thinks that no matter what he thinks, it is human beings experimenting here.

   "... a black hole galaxy with a matter decompressor, what kind of experiment is being conducted by the way?" His scientific research spacecraft approached the giant wave planet, and released a large number of drones for investigation.

  The environment here is only the endless deep sea, and it is much more troublesome to explore than those ordinary planets.

  Although drones can also conduct deep-sea exploration, the efficiency in water is always much lower than in the air.

  However, in view of the special environment here, Li Wenyuan called Gray Wind over, wanting to see if she was interested in this place.

   Then, as expected, Gray Wind really showed full curiosity.

   "A giant wave planet with a depth of 10,000 meters? Isn't this an excellent adventure zone?"

  The game she is playing recently is "Deep Sea Terror" developed by Turbulent First Empire. This group of aquatic creatures has a much more detailed understanding of the ocean than ordinary creatures.

   Even for the current interstellar civilization, the ocean no longer has any secrets, and everything can be used.

However, this interstellar civilization composed of aquatic creatures still retains awe of the ocean. Their countless works are related to the deep sea, full of ancient primitive fears, and are now popular in various civilizations when horror stories are prevalent, forming a cultural trend. .

   But this is just a bit of entertainment, because these interstellar civilizations do a lot of water pumping, and sometimes even draining all the water on a planet will not see any "terror of the deep sea."

  In the interstellar era, the sense of the unknown in the universe is even more frightening.

   But Gray Wind is not taboo when thinking about it. The deep sea adventure is a story that she has never thought about before. Maybe in addition to the empty space, the unknown deep sea is also a unique seasoning.

  So she didn't even need Li Wenyuan's inquiry, she took the initiative to enter this giant wave planet.

  With the deepening of Gray Wind and a large number of detection drones, the internal environment of this giant wave planet is gradually revealed in front of his eyes.

  As he expected, there are only some simple microorganisms and algae living on the surface of the planet. Occasionally, slightly more complex creatures come to this area and quickly dive down.

  The huge tidal force will cause the sea surface thousands of meters above the surface to be rolled up and then fall. During this process, no creature can resist the huge impact brought by the direct fall from the sky above a thousand meters to the surface of the ocean.

   This is no different than falling directly on a rock face.

   But after breaking away from the most dangerous zone on the surface, the species of Julang Planet suddenly multiplied.

   It is difficult for the light of the accretion disk of the black hole to enter this depth, and the creatures here are also very random.

   It is almost necessary to have no eyes, and the evolution of the body is also adapting to the environment here.

  You can see some kind of fish with a streamlined body speeding through here. In order to adapt to the water pressure, its muscles are extremely strong, and its strong and powerful tail makes them draw a piece of white foam in the water like an arrow leaving the string.

  Their prey suddenly lost half of their bodies before they even had time to react, and the other half disappeared into the ocean a few seconds later, only the predators who were full were swimming leisurely.

   But this is only one link in the food chain. A tentacle was suddenly ejected from the deeper sea area, dragging the predator that had just had a full meal into the deep sea. As for its fate, it is self-evident.

  A complete and stable ecological cycle has formed on this planet, and it is in this area with the largest biomass that Li Wenyuan discovered a "deep-sea observation station" left by humans here.

   "What's that?" Under Gray Wind's curious expression, a floating giant building that stood still in the torrent gradually revealed its entirety in the dark ocean.

  Its appearance looks like a huge spinning top, and the surface shell is covered with fluorescent materials, which become the only light source in the dark deep sea.

   It stands to reason that the phototaxis of deep-sea fish would cause the creatures here to swarm, but a sound wave that surrounds this giant building all the time disperses those creatures.

   Compared with this very lively area, this place is undoubtedly much deserted.

  But maybe this is what this "deep-sea observatory" needs.

  So when Gray Wind and his drone approached here, he also received a signal that this observation station belongs to humans:

  【"Deep Sea Observation Station No. 003" Warm Reminder:】

  【This is the "fish tank", please don't disturb the ecological environment here, otherwise some poor researcher will lose his research results! 】

   "Fish tank?" Li Wenyuan was taken aback by this special address, but he immediately understood.

   "...This should be a breeding area for some kind of experimental material. I guess the research topic is 'On the evolution process of organisms in ocean planets in the black hole environment'..."

  In fact, it is quite normal for this kind of thing to appear. Not to mention human beings, even in today's interstellar society, due to the rapid development of productivity, many experiments are carried out in units of "planets".

  The galaxy is so vast that it cannot always be confined to a small planet.

   There are already many interstellar rich people who have bought several barren planets, built artificial ecological cities on them, and captured some indigenous people to regard them as "gods" to enjoy the feeling of worship.

   There are also some daring mad scientists who quietly invaded the indigenous planets for some sociological research, set off internal turmoil, and then expanded the experimental samples.

  These are actions that can be achieved in the interstellar era, so it is not impossible for humans in that era to build such a "planetary fish tank".

   But what Li Wenyuan didn't expect was that besides human signals, he also detected other signals.

   This signal is completely different from the ones commonly used by humans, but it is full of regularity, and it is presumably also a signal sent by an intelligent creature.

  After the translation, Li Wenyuan became more and more curious about the situation of the "Deep Sea Observatory".

  It was a distress signal: "—We have been invaded by the enemy, please support as soon as possible!"
