Silver Mist Rises Again

Judging from the images transmitted back, the cave walls are almost identical to the caves that were first explored and landed in, with the same ancient soil layers and the same traces of wind and frost.

The only difference between this cave and other caves is that the slope inside is relatively small.

It's understandable, since it's the road leading to the base. If it were like other caves, with all sorts of twists and turns, or even vertical sections, then there would be no point in talking about getting in and out.

"Why isn't there any science fiction element here?" Looking at the cave, Yue Yuan suddenly had this thought.

Logically speaking, an Underground Base of a civilization, regardless of its depth, should have a steel road or a road made of obvious technological creations, or something like a vertical elevator.

But this mine looks like it's been renovated. "Could it be that due to its age, the technologically advanced road has been covered by layers of soil? That shouldn't be the case. Covering the bottom is understandable, but why does the top of the cave also look like a natural layer of soil?"

Yue Yuan felt increasingly strange. He frowned, touched the short stubble that had recently grown on his chin, and fell into deep thought.

Could this really be a scam? Hmm... We'll know if it's a scam or not in sixteen minutes, after we see if there's a reply!

Hmm? Something's not right. Suddenly, Yue Yuan seemed to realize something, and he shuddered, abruptly standing up from his captain's seat. "Data management, using the time of each message sent and replied as a point, display all the relationships between the relative positions, message reception times, and sending times of Ross 154-4 and Ross 154-7 at the same time!"

"What's wrong, Chief of Staff?" Zhao Youqin's image appeared in the corner of the bridge screen, clearly puzzled by Yue Yuan's instructions.

Zhao Youqin is an expert in optics, information, and monitoring. He was the one who handled all the communication with the Mining Area Patrol the Moke Star People mining area, so he knows the information records best.

"Quickly!" Yue Yuan replied with only one word.

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of information and data comparisons of time and the relative positions of the two stars popped up on the screen. Clearly, Zhao Youqin was not stunned by his doubts.

Yue Yuan quickly scanned the series of information and data with his eyes, and then compared them one by one in his mind.

No way! The more Yue Yuan compared them, the more alarmed he became.

He discovered that every time a human sent a message, the time between when the Mining Area Patrol received the message and when he replied was almost exactly the same.

The difference is negligible, only one or two seconds.

As a living being, a Carbon-based life, how could it possibly be able to time things so precisely every time? Even for an advanced civilization, it would be difficult to achieve that.

At the time, no one paid much attention. Not that they did notice it, but they didn't pay attention to the specifics. Moreover, they all assumed it was a problem of individuals from advanced civilizations.

Indeed, some experts have speculated that this situation could be due to the Moke Star People possessing technology such as personal chip assistance, which is quite reasonable.

However, taking the content of the reply into account makes it quite powerful.

The claim that the brain's development reaches a certain percentage has been proven nonsense. There's no reason for such a rapid reaction. Does that mean the Moke Star People's brains were always that powerful? Life evolution is a process; what Sentient Life is born with an exceptionally advanced brain? Therefore, there are only three possibilities: 1. The Moke Star People possess some technology that accelerates brain processing. 2. Level 3 Civilization has mastered some powerful Brain-Assisted Chip technology. 3. The entity sending messages to humans and continuously engaging in dialogue is not Moke Star People, but Artificial Intelligence Consciousness.

Considering the situation of this cave, I have a feeling that something is very wrong!

How could such important information have been overlooked?!

Suddenly, Yue Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.

But what if it's just a coincidence?

Just as Yue Yuan was about to give the order to Man Yuemei to launch 3,800 hydrogen Nuclear Bomb into planetary orbit, he felt a glimmer of hope.

After all, there is a safety net of signal interruption triggering the hydrogen bomb mechanism. The fact that we can still see image information means that 'Silver Mist' has not taken any action.

Thinking of this, Yue Yuan looked at another screen, which showed the 'Silver Mist' covering an area the size of a province.

As before, the 'Silver Mist' lay motionless on the planet's surface, the red starlight reflected off it making it look like a beautiful red carpet.

But this beauty, as Yue Yuan sees it now, seems to be filled with wronged souls struggling on it, only to be swallowed up again and again, and the red exterior is like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Creepy!

This is just a psychological effect Yue Yuan told himself.

It was definitely psychological; it was just the terror of the 'Silver Mist' from the past and the images I imagined in my mind. The 'Silver Mist' on the screen was still the beautiful 'Silver Mist,' quietly sitting there.

However, at that moment, a trembling voice suddenly rang out from inside the bridge.

"'Silver Mist'? No, wait, what... what is that?"

Suddenly, Yue Yuan's pupils refocused on the big screen, and he saw a scene that sent chills down his spine.

Suddenly, a silver light appeared inside the cave entrance designated by the Mining Area Patrol. The light flashed past the Ground Transport Robot with lightning speed and surged towards the ground.

Silver Mist!!!

Yue Yuan's eyes nearly burst open; it was definitely Silver Mist! Or rather, the Nanomining Robot Consciousness! Sure enough, under the illumination of the transport robot's lights, the true form of that silver light was revealed to everyone.

On the large screen, everyone saw that within the silver light, there were hazy particles like mist. Countless particles surged out of the cave like a swarm of bees or rising steam.

Surprisingly, this time the Silver Mist seemed to have a different operator. Instead of devouring the human Ground Transport Robot as before, it simply ignored them and headed towards the cave entrance.

"Man Yuemei, hurry!" Yue Yuan didn't hesitate any longer and immediately turned to shout at Man Yuemei, who was sitting to his left.

Yue Yuan's meaning was clear: quickly activate the 3,800 hydrogen bombs located in the Ross 154-4 orbit.

Like hydrogen bombs on transport ships, hydrogen bombs in regulations have two mechanisms: signal interruption triggering and human signal triggering.

As long as Man Yuemei presses the button in her hand, all the hydrogen bombs will be activated in seventeen minutes.

At this moment, Yue Yuan turned his head and saw that Man Yuemei. Her red lips were slightly open, and her beautiful eyes revealed undisguised shock, but hidden in the shock was a sharp determination.

Yue Yuan looked down and saw that she had already pressed the start button in her hand. She must have pressed it the moment she saw the silver light appear.
