Chapter 510 Agnis
Parens, a lifeless planet, has a layer of ice all over its surface, like an ice ball. There are naturally many such celestial bodies in the universe, but they are not worth developing.
Li Ming obtained the safe coordinates and headed straight for this planet. After a long transmission and flight, the entire ice ball appeared on the operating table in front of Li Ming.
"This is the planet Parens..."
Looking at the phantom pattern on the operating table, the ice ball was slowly rotating.
Li Ming also got information about this planet from nearby civilizations, but the existence of fluid on this planet is really unimaginable and incredible.
Looking at the planet in front of him, Li Ming raised his hand and lightly tapped the operating table to determine the target of the transmission.
The spaceship shook for a while, and disappeared on the spot with a hum. When the spaceship appeared again, it was already on the ice ball.
The real environment of the ice ball immediately came into view.
The surface of the planet is completely covered with thick ice, and no other substances can be seen. Occasionally, a few rocks protruding from the ice surface can be seen, which shows that this planet of Palens is not completely liquid, but also has rocks and the like.
The planet has no atmosphere, just like a bare glass ball flying in the universe.
Li Ming drove the spacecraft and began to fly along the surface of the planet. Where the spacecraft flies, it will conduct strict scanning. This is the best way for the spacecraft to explore and search.
But after flying for only a short time, Li Ming in the main cabin stopped the spacecraft and frowned slightly.
The exploration distance of the equipment on the spacecraft is limited, and the exploration ability is also very weak. Because the special reasons of this planet interfere with the exploration of the spacecraft, it is no longer possible to use the spacecraft for simple and fast exploration.
This made Li Ming worried.
"Can I go up there myself?"
He whispered in his mouth and couldn't help touching his chin.
After a little thought, Li Ming decided to land in person.
A blue light flashed at the bottom of the spacecraft, just like a searchlight suddenly lit up and was turned off. Li Ming's white figure slowly flew out and headed straight for the ice layer below.
The temperature base of the entire planet, Li Ming can only use the energy in his body to keep warm, but as his body approaches the surface of the planet little by little, Li Ming's eyes can't help but narrow slightly.
In his eyes, Li Ming saw a large area of weak radiation, which is invisible to the naked eye, just like the interior of the planet is releasing some kind of substance. This radiation will naturally not affect Li Ming's body, but it can affect the spacecraft's detection of the planet.
Seeing this, Li Ming understood and whispered: "No wonder the spacecraft can't conduct a comprehensive detection, so this is the case."
As he spoke, Li Ming's figure had already landed on the smooth ice surface.
The blue ice layer is unknown how thick it is, and the cold air continues to be released from the bottom. If there is no energy to protect the body, Li Ming may be frozen at any time.
Walking slowly along the ice layer, the powerful consciousness spreads out instantly. The range of consciousness spread is like a round sphere, with Li Ming as the center, and the places within the radius are all covered by Li Ming.
Down to the bottom of the ice layer, the surrounding area extends for dozens of kilometers, all within Li Ming's observation.
Although consciousness can expand the range and increase the control area, it will become unstable if the range is too large. This instability is based on Li Ming's state of not moving. Once Li Ming moves quickly, the range of consciousness control will also change.
After checking an area, Li Ming got up and flew to the edge of the observation area just now to continue to check and explore.
It is not easy to explore such a large planet completely and quickly. Fortunately, Li Ming has nothing to do, so he slowly explores it in his spare time.
After exploring more than a dozen places, Li Ming suddenly stopped.
His eyebrows tightened, his mouth opened slightly, and his face showed an incredible look.
"Under this ice layer is..."
Whispering in his mouth, the scene at the bottom of the ice layer has appeared in Li Ming's mind.
There is a huge open space deep in the ice layer, as if it has been hollowed out. The whole open space is like an underground palace, with rocky ground under his feet and ice layer above his head. The rocks are smooth and neat, like the ground where people have lived.
A mountain appeared around the open space, and the black surface of the mountain continued to release this cold air, which was very strange.
The mountain looked normal from the surface, but inside the mountain was indeed a cage woven by ice blocks.
The cage was formed by the accumulation of ice pillars, and there was an alien in the cage.
The alien had black skin, and the armor on his body was very broken. His limbs were tied with blue ice chains. Under the effect of the ice chains, his limbs had basically been assimilated with the pancakes and could not move. Only the body could move back and forth.
With a slightly lowered head and a face full of frost, it was unknown how long he had been trapped. Li Ming had sensed this information through his consciousness.
"Is this... a prison?!"
Li Ming's eyes widened a little, and his face became slightly solemn.
Prison planets are common. There were many planets in the solar system that were used as prisons.
Just as Li Ming was thinking, this person suddenly raised his head, as if he suddenly woke up from a deep sleep, and looked up at the top of the cave.
"Who are you?!"
The mouth did not move, but this sentence entered Li Ming's mind.
This is exactly the conversation of consciousness, which made Li Ming startled and his expression changed slightly. If he can use consciousness to communicate, then the other party must also be spiritual civilization.
Spiritual civilization is a rare type of civilization. Li Ming knew this before. Hearing the other party say this, Li Ming also became curious. He flipped his right hand, and a green light flashed in his palm. A green dragon flew out of his hand and disappeared directly into the ice layer.
A few seconds later, a green light suddenly flashed in front of the blue ice cage, and a green shadow figure had emerged. It was Li Ming.
Upon seeing the shadow Li Ming, the person in the cage showed surprise and said, "It seems to be spiritual civilization..."
"In this case, it's easy to deal with..."
The man continued to speak, with a faint smile on his lips, and then he opened his mouth and spit out a puff of black smoke. The black smoke slowly floated in front of the shadow Li Ming.
The shadow flashed a faint light, and slowly raised his arm, aiming at the black smoke, and immediately obtained the information in the black smoke.
This black smoke is some of the other party's consciousness, which contains some information related to the other party, because in spiritual civilization, conversation almost does not require words, but only relies on spiritual consciousness communication, which is unique to spiritual civilization.
This black smoke is like Li Ming's phantom, which is the consciousness that has left the body. When they collide with each other, their basic information will be quickly transmitted to each other.
This person is called Agnes, a 1.9-level civilization from the Virgo Cluster. As for why he was trapped here, the other party did not mention it.
Li Ming still has some knowledge of the Virgo Cluster. This huge group of galaxies contains more than 2,500 galaxies similar to the Milky Way, but it is tens of millions of light years away from the Milky Way.
Such a huge galaxy cluster is so far away that it is not something that the first-level civilization technology can do.
The Virgo Cluster not only has ordinary galaxies, but also has clouds with temperatures so high that they emit X-ray radiation. The dark matter contained in this galaxy cluster exceeds the visible matter.
Li Ming's knowledge of it is limited, but these known information fills Li Ming's mind with question marks. Faced with these questions, the phantom Li Ming looked at the other party again.
Li Ming also transmitted his basic information and questions to the other party.
Agnes smiled and said, "If you are willing to save me, I will tell you everything you want to know."
"Oh?!"
Li Ming smiled lightly with a look of contempt.
"I'm just curious. As for saving you, it depends on whether I am interested in what you say."
In Li Ming's trading rules, you must first see what you want, and then consider whether to save the other party. Let Li Ming save the other party first, that is even more impossible.
Agnis saw this, smiled bitterly, and then hesitated, and then said: "It seems that I must compromise first."
Li Ming also said coldly: "It's not just as simple as compromise. If I am not interested in what you say, then you can only stay here."
Agnis seemed to understand this truth. He stared at Li Ming with his eyes, snorted, and said: "Well, after all, this is also my chance to leave here."
As he spoke, his expression gradually relaxed.
