Hammersley Ridge is located in the southwest of the Australian continent, close to the sea, covering an extremely large area, stretching for 260 kilometers.

The mountains are high and deep, criss-crossing.

It was an important iron ore base more than a thousand years ago, providing almost 80% of Australia's iron ore.

At that time, the vegetation on Hammersley Ridge was sparse, with only some stubborn meadows struggling to grow.

But although the topography here has not changed now, the vegetation conditions are very different.

The tops of the mountains are covered with thick vines that are often hundreds of meters long.

The vines move like dragons, their broad leaves are like cattail fans, and their stems are as thick as one meter in diameter and as thin as several decimeters.

Thin roots pierce the ground from all over the vine stems like centipede legs.

The vines intertwined with each other and climbed all over the peak, almost becoming an ecological overlord.

This is a plant that Chen Feng has never seen before in the 21st century. It is probably a new species that has developed some strong mutations after climate change.

In the middle of the mountain range, there are mainly some large trees with extremely thick branches.

The roots of big trees are so thick that even the thinnest ones require dozens of people to surround them. The thickest trees have diameters of hundreds of meters and heights of hundreds or even thousands of meters.

The canopy of the trees spreads out like an umbrella, and the layers are intertwined with each other, like broccoli stacked in a vegetable basket, so that from top to bottom there is almost no trace of the ravine.

If Chen Feng hadn't been able to scan the terrain through the spacecraft's detector, he could have almost parked the tree crown as if it were flat ground.

Considering that Morrowind One did not have an energy shield, it might be damaged if it was forced to park in a ravine, which would be troublesome to repair. He stopped on the top of the mountain first, then put on a brand new combat uniform, picked up his knife, and took a fission shotgun.

gun, put on a backpack, and get out of the ship.

In his backpack was an iron box the size of a microwave oven.

Inside the iron box is a small biological battery power supply chamber that he spent a lot of effort to complete. It is mainly used to power the "toy" gravitational wave scanner, and there is also a micro-computing server the size of a fist.

He first ordered a meal of quark synthesis, and then pressed the button on the side of the iron box behind him. With a metallic creaking sound, two thick robotic arms popped up from the box behind him and paid out.

Come more than one meter.

A 17-inch LCD monitor hangs in the middle of the two robotic arms.

With a click, the joint of the robotic arm holding the monitor bent first, and then bent twice. The monitor was placed diagonally above Chen Feng's head, half a meter away from his eyes, making him look like Ning Caichen carrying a scholar's box.

Chen Feng raised his hand and pressed on the monitor for a while. The debugging was successful. A spherical space with a diameter of fifty meters began to appear on the screen, which was the image of the scanner.

The wearable integrated detection auxiliary device was successfully developed!

Oh no, the assembly was successful.

This wasn't the end yet, he turned around again, and at this time, a large iron box was being lifted and lowered by the mechanical arm of Morrowind One.

Opening the box, it was filled with colorful metal structures, which were all wearable equipment that he assembled in his spare time.

Putting them on one by one, in five minutes, he turned into a punk-style mechanical warrior.

Chen Feng briefly tested the jet engines on the left and right sides of his waist, and they floated slightly.

Very good. With the support of the auxiliary artificial intelligence algorithm, his flight is very smooth, and his change of direction and speed are also very sensitive.

When he was ready, he walked down the hillside and plunged into the unbelievably dense jungle.

The deeper you go down, the darker the sunlight becomes in the forest.

Even though it was midday and the sun was shining brightly, it couldn't shine at all.

No wonder these trees have to grow so tall. If they don’t climb a little further up, they won’t even be able to drink soup.

The ecological environment in the forest is not simple. In addition to tall trees, there are countless plants, large and small, growing all over the ground.

The tall ones are like ordinary trees, while the low ones are bushes of different shapes.

These low trees, which are rarely exposed to sunlight, do not have wide leaves.

As for where their nutrients come from?

You only need to look at the branches of the trees to understand everything. The branches grow up to the giant tree in unison.

If it weren't for the obvious holes where the branches were breaking through the bark of the giant tree, Chen Feng could have mistaken these small plants for the roots of the giant tree.

In addition to plants, there are also many kinds of animals in the valley with different shapes.

There are giant wolves with big ears that cannot open their eyes at all and rely on ultrasonic positioning. There are also black bears that can naturally emit strong light in their pupils, as if they have two large flashlights on their heads, and there are also black bears that can smear across the ground like lightning.

, a dark-skinned snake as fast as a mouse.

These animals are very aggressive. When they noticed his movements from a long distance, they rushed towards him one by one like moths rushing to a flame.

Chen Feng was secretly glad that he was wearing wearable equipment and could fly there, otherwise he would have to walk and kill all the way, which would exhaust him to death, let alone search for human clues in this valley.

He also lamented that it is a pity that high-precision gravitational wave detectors are gone forever.

There are parts, but due to my own limited capabilities, I really can’t repair it.

Otherwise, according to the performance of the Galaxy War Armor in the previous timeline, float in the air and scan it, and then you can lie down peacefully and look at the stars to analyze the results.

Most of the day later, it was getting dark outside, but it made no difference to him. He had descended to the bottom of the valley, and the place had already become a dark world.

But nature was not without light, and his field of vision actually improved.

Among the dense heterotrophic woods, countless gleaming lights are floating, all of which are various insects that can emit light.

These insects each chase the stream of light, sometimes converging, sometimes scattering, and sometimes walking through the trees like the Milky Way across the sky.

The picture looks dreamlike, as if you are in a fairyland.

Some small birds that make a living by eating insects flash past like lightning from time to time, and the aerial river brought by the fluorescent insects suddenly loses a piece.

Chen Feng did not turn on the lights. He had already put on a simulation helmet and relied on the projection of imaging using the principle of ultrasonic feedback to determine the direction.

He walked, watched, investigated, killed animals that couldn't be avoided, and collected some biological batteries from time to time.

The terrain in the mountains is complex, the density of animals and plants is extremely high, and the amount of information is incredibly large.

Moreover, even if there are traces of human activities, such as footprints or picnic embers, they cannot be preserved for long under the influence of high-frequency and high-intensity activities of a large number of animals.

Based on the strength of these animals' abilities, Chen Feng estimated that ordinary Metroid warriors without equipment would not survive here for three days.

Since Sergei's secret base has been hidden for nearly five hundred years, it will definitely not be lying on the ground. If you want to find it, you have to work slowly and carefully.

Chen Feng did not daydream or foolishly think that he could achieve success in one fell swoop. He was mentally prepared for a long-term war of resistance and settled in this valley.

Time flies, and March passes in the blink of an eye.

During these three months, Chen Feng plowed the land up and down Hamersley Ridge more than ten times.

His database is filled with huge and complex information, accurate to every plant, every insect, and every animal in the mountains.

He can also simulate and predict all dynamics of animals and plants, even down to when these plants will take root and sprout, and when they will wither.

He also used a gravitational wave detector to complete a complete terrain simulation, going down to three kilometers underground.

Within three kilometers underground, the flow of soil and rock in the earth's crust can be accurate to modules in grams.

Countless small modules are combined together to form a simulation model like ocean currents.

In addition, although the gravitational wave detector can only accurately scan the underground to a maximum depth of five kilometers, Chen Feng has scoured the world and assembled some conventional geological exploration equipment that is not that high in technology and not that accurate in accuracy.

Equipment types include geophysical and geochemical exploration, trench depth, drilling, large-scale geophysical exploration equipment, etc.

In the field of geological simulation modeling, physical exploration is the main focus, and physical exploration mainly includes gravity exploration, magnetic exploration, electrical exploration, seismic exploration, radioactive exploration, etc.

In short, Chen Feng used whatever means were available. He did not seek absolute accuracy, but only tried to use more detection methods to collect more and more comprehensive data.

Therefore, the geological data in his hands still went down to eighteen kilometers underground, but the three kilometers underground were the technological level of the thirty-first century in the seventh timeline, and the three kilometers to ten kilometers were the twenty-fifth century.

The level of ten kilometers to eighteen kilometers is the level of the early 22nd century.

Such a huge amount of data can hardly be accommodated in the extremely large data storage database he specially expanded.

There is no point in continuing to strengthen the collection. On September 3, 2020, his raids officially ceased.

With the computing power he currently possesses, it is simply impossible to convert these data into images that can be seen by the human eye.

The machine is jammed to the point where he cannot survive or die. Any change of perspective reminds him of the fear of being dominated when he used a computer from 2008 to open QQ from 2019.

So he wrote another algorithm program and handed it all to the server to calculate it in the background.

As for himself, he started making chips again and inserted them into the server piece by piece.

With less than sixty days until October 27, 3020, Chen Feng's sense of urgency is getting stronger and stronger.

So far, he has initially completed the construction of the new aerospace-grade spacecraft and placed it on the outskirts of Hanzhou.

The spacecraft is approximately five kilometers long, one thousand one hundred meters high, and two thousand meters wide, with a traditional spindle shape.

It's not that he doesn't want a triangular cone ship or a snowflake ship, but with his ability, he can only barely design a spindle-shaped stable curvature-like thin film layer.

It would cost him his life to ask him to make other shapes, or to make them perfectly fit the structure covering the surface of the ship.

The spacecraft was named Morrowind 2.

No. 2 is equipped with two sets of high-performance large-scale curvature-like engines without intelligent assistance, a set of force field shield generators that also lack intelligent algorithm support, and a set of hand-made large-scale biological battery power supply systems.

Dyson-like film solar wings that accurately and stably control energy conversion, as well as hundreds of small and medium-sized equipment related to scientific research and production.
