Chapter 1,766 Mercury Prairie

The meteor that hit Mars finally managed to escape the gravity of Mars and flew into space. The meteor that hit Mercury did not escape the gravity of Mercury and exploded directly on the surface of Mercury.

But the meteor that hit Mercury still left a long scar on the surface of Mercury. As a result, there is a long canyon on Mercury. And in the canyon, there are some signs of volcanic activity. Because of this

A canyon is so deep that it directly enters Mercury's underground magma layer.

After this meteor hit Mercury and formed a grand canyon, it had no chance to fly into space again. It was directly captured by Mercury's gravity. So, this meteor stayed on Mercury.

But at that time, after the meteor hit Mercury and crossed the surface of Mercury, it generated a very high temperature. Therefore, after the meteor slid to the sinkhole, it suddenly exploded.

As a result, this huge sinkhole was formed. This was a huge sinkhole formed by the explosion of a small celestial body. Although it looks similar to sinkholes on the earth, the two are essentially different.'

Zhao Zhongyao looked at his son and told Feifei the thoughts he had inferred. After hearing his father's analysis, Feifei felt that it made sense.

‘Dad, let’s put it this way, the sinkhole in front of us is a huge explosion crater.’ Feifei said.

‘That’s right, this is not a sinkhole formed by geological collapse, but a huge sinkhole formed by the explosion of an asteroid.’ Zhao Zhongyao said.

After hearing what his father said, Feifei felt that it made sense. But when he observed further, he felt that something was wrong.

‘Dad, look at this sinkhole, if it was formed by an explosion, why would it look so strange!’ Feifei looked at the surrounding environment and said.

Zhao Zhongyao also felt that there was something special about this explosion crater. But he still didn't understand what Feifei wanted to say. So, he looked at Feifei again and said, "Then what do you want to say? Then you can

Tell me! Do you feel anything strange about this sinkhole?'

'Dad, look, if this sinkhole was formed by an explosion, shouldn't the bottom of this sinkhole be the lowest? But from our perspective, the bottom of this sinkhole is not the lowest.

The terrain is high in the middle and low on the four sides. You said that this shape was also formed by explosions. Feifei couldn't understand what was happening in front of him.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao looked at the surrounding terrain again and said, 'Yes! The terrain here is a bit strange. Why is it high in the middle and low on the four sides! This doesn't look like it was formed by an explosion.'

"Dad, so there are some problems with your asteroid impact and explosion theory. How do you explain the special terrain at the bottom of this sinkhole?" Feifei looked at his father again and said.

After listening to Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, "How did this cause form? It seems that we still don't understand it. We need to go outside to investigate to know. But I still firmly believe that I

According to the explosion, this sinkhole was probably formed by the explosion of an asteroid.'

'Okay, if that's the case, let's go outside and take a look together! See if there's any place outside that can prove your explosion theory.' Feifei looked at his father again and said.

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, 'Okay, let's go outside and have a look!' Zhao Zhongyao also felt that we couldn't observe the situation outside just inside this spacecraft, so we had better go outside.

Go check it out!'

So, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei started to put on their spacesuits and wanted to go outside the spacecraft. But now Tiantian and Qu Yuqian saw that the scenery outside was good. They were a little curious and wanted to go too.

Go take a look outside the spacecraft. After all, what's the point of just staying inside the spacecraft? Only by going outside the spacecraft can you feel what the surface of Mercury looks like.

'Mom, let's go outside and have a look! What's the point of being in this spaceship?' When Tiantian saw that her father and brother were going to explore outside again, she was a little ready to move. After all, she also

I don’t want to stay inside the spaceship all the time, but I also want to go outside and have a look.

After listening to her daughter's words, Qu Yuqian looked at her and said, 'There may be some dangers outside, we'd better stay inside the spaceship!'

Qu Yuqian thought of their previous experience on Venus, and she didn't want her daughter to take risks outside.

But Tiantian still wanted to go outside. She looked at her mother and said, "Mom, look at the beautiful scenery outside. What's the point of us just staying in the spaceship? Why not go outside and see the scenery. This place, I

It looks like there's no danger, it's just a prairie!'

Tiantian feels that the scenery in this place is very good. Outside is a undulating prairie. Apart from the prairie, there is nothing else mysterious.

Qu Yuqian saw that her daughter wanted to go outside very much, so she looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, 'Zhongyao, look, will you take me and Tiantian out for an adventure this time?'

Zhao Zhongyao looked at the environment outside and felt that there seemed to be no large beasts here. After all, this was a grassland. If there were any large beasts, they would probably be seen at once.

Zhao Zhongyao thought that there might not be any dangerous monsters here, so he looked at Qu Yuqian and Tiantian and said, 'Okay, I'll take you two on an adventure this time too!'

After saying that, Zhao Zhongyao asked Qu Yuqian and Tiantian to put on a space suit. After everyone put on their clothes, they came out of the spacecraft together.

Zhao Zhongyao was the first person to come out of the multi-spacecraft. After he came out of the spacecraft, he felt that the environment outside was really very good. If he were not wearing a space suit, he would definitely feel like he was traveling somewhere on the earth.

Attractions, not on Mercury, a place where life is said to be fundamental.

After Zhao Zhongyao came out, Feifei, Tiantian and Qu Yuqian came out of the spacecraft together. When their family got off the spacecraft and came to the middle part of the sinkhole, they felt that they were in a

Under the high mountains, there are some small valleys on all sides.

However, these small valleys are full of lush green grass. They are not barren lands. Looking at it, the bottom of the entire sinkhole seems to be covered with a thick green carpet, which is really beautiful.

Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei walked in front, and Qu Yuqian and Tiantian walked behind. Their family began to explore this mysterious sinkhole.

Just now, Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei felt a little puzzled as to why there was such a hill at the bottom of the sinkhole. Now they wanted to study this hill carefully.

Zhao Zhongyao saw that there were some grasses growing on this hill. However, these grasses were not very dense. They could only be said to be very sparse. Compared with the surrounding grasslands, this hill could only be regarded as

A barren mountain.

‘Dad, look at what’s going on with this hill. Why is there such a hill at the bottom of this sinkhole?’ Feifei said, looking at the hill below his feet.

Zhao Zhongyao observed the surrounding terrain again and said, "That's it. I feel that this hill was the remnant left after the explosion of that asteroid. After the explosion of that asteroid,

Not everything was blown to pieces. There may be a little bit left behind. And this hill is what was left after the asteroid exploded.'

What Zhao Zhongyao said made Feifei feel that it made sense. After all, the sudden appearance of such a hill at the bottom of the sinkhole was very uncoordinated. It was obviously related to the explosion of the asteroid at that time.

"Dad, it looks like this hill is not made of rocks on Mercury. It is made of rocks from an asteroid," Feifei said.

'Yes, the asteroid that hit Mercury at that time must have been a rocky planet. After it hit Mercury, it slid for a certain distance and then exploded. After the explosion, it formed

Such a huge sinkhole. But this asteroid was not completely exploded and shattered, and a wreckage was left behind. This wreckage is the small mountain in front of you." Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

'Okay, Dad. We have explained clearly how this hill came to be. Then our next work should be to find the amethyst gem. We must quickly find the amethyst gem.

Crystal Gemstone, and then you can go to Mars. To be honest, I still want to go to Mars. There are extraterrestrial planets with very similar environments to the earth.' Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.

After listening to Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said again, "You are right, we still have to find the second amethyst gem quickly. Since there may be only this oasis of life on Mercury, then this place

, there must be the amethyst gem we are looking for.'

So, Zhao Zhongyao took Feifei, Qu Yuqian and Tiantian to look for amethyst gems. They all felt that there should be no dangerous things in this place. After all, this is where the

Some green grass. No tall trees.

As long as there are no tall trees, there will be no tall animals. Generally speaking, tall animals eat leaves. The reason why they grow tall is because they like to eat leaves.

Just like the giraffe, the reason why it has such a long neck is because it likes to eat the leaves of a tall plant on the African savannah.

This tall plant is the acacia tree. This tree is also very magical. Their leaves are open during the day and close at night. The flowers of this tree are yellow. Seen from a distance

, like a golden cloud. Therefore, we call this tree an acacia tree, which is a very vivid name.

Giraffes like to eat the leaves of this tall plant. Originally, this plant evolved many sharp thorns to deal with the cannibalism of giraffes. There are many sharp thorns growing on each of its branches.

In this case, it will be more difficult for many animals to eat the leaves of the acacia tree. Because if you want to eat its leaves, you will risk having your tongue pierced by the sharp thorns.

But giraffes are not afraid of the spikes on the acacia tree. They have also evolved tongues that can deal with the spikes on the acacia tree.

Giraffes not only have long necks, but also very long tongues. Their tongues can stick out of their mouths for more than a foot. Moreover, giraffes' tongues can also be contracted into a cylindrical shape. Such a tongue can bypass acacia trees.

The sharp thorns on it, and then eat the leaves on the acacia tree.

This is the result of competition for survival and evolutionary variation. All things are mutually reinforcing each other in this way. No one species can restrain all species, and no one species will be restrained by all species.

The reason why there are tall herbivores like giraffes and elephants on the African savannah is because there are not only deep grasses but also tall trees on the African savannah. These tall trees are the source of giraffes and elephants.

Provides edible bark, branches and leaves.

Because of this, there are some tall herbivores on the African savannah. Because there are tall trees and deep thatch that they can eat.

The reason why these animals grow tall is closely related to the environment in which they live. In the African savannah, there is not rain all year round. The African savannah is divided into dry season and rainy season. In the rainy season, there are lush trees on the ground.

Green grass. But in the dry season, there is no grass on the ground.

When there is no grass, animals living on the savannah can only choose to eat bark, branches and leaves. Because of this, some animals on the African savannah have slowly become very large.

Just like giraffes and elephants, they like to eat tall plants, so they grow taller. However, some animals that eat small grass do not grow particularly tall. Just like the animals on the African savannah.

It's the same as the antelope, but it doesn't grow very tall, it only grows to about one meter tall.

In this sinkhole above Mercury, there are only some grasses and no tall trees. In this way, it is impossible for there to be any tall animals in this place. Even if there are, they are only small animals.

Zhao Zhongyao just felt that there were no large animals in this place, so he asked Qu Yuqian and Tiantian to come out of the spacecraft together.
