The celestial sphere is located directly opposite the Earth, with one sun in between.

Its axis of rotation is the same as that of the Earth, with the same angle as the ecliptic plane, and its rotation direction is of course from west to east.

Under Zhao Ming's deliberate adjustment, even the time zone is synchronized with the earth.

In other words, seen from a far enough distance, there will be two identical blue planets on both sides of the sun, and their rotations will be synchronous.

When an observer sees the African continent on the left planet, the African continent also appears on the right planet.

In this way, when China is at noon on the earth, the Ming Dynasty on the celestial sphere happens to be at midnight.

The seasons are also just reversed. It is summer in Asia on the earth and winter in Asia on the celestial sphere.

So when Zhao Ming landed on the ground, the local time was already around 11pm or almost 12pm.

Although there is no light source around, the moon is very round today, so it is not a big problem to see the general situation of the surroundings under the moonlight.

As for entering the woods, there is nothing you can do. Although Zhao Ming has acquired certain infrared night vision capabilities by adding physical attributes, a lot of detailed information will be lost.

Now the focus is on exploration, not simply searching for monsters and destroying them, so we must get something that can shine and use it.

In other words, Zhao Ming needs lighting.

"Boss, I'm here."

Zhang Yan's voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Ming's mind.

It turned out that after learning that Zhao Ming was going to personally explore the wreckage of the alien spacecraft, Zhang Yan volunteered to come along and see it together.

Zhao Ming thought that it would be good to have more helpers, and it would also allow Zhang Yan to accumulate more experience in using mental power, so he agreed to her request.

Looking up, Zhao Ming found a vague black shadow appearing in the sky not far away, and there seemed to be fire underneath it.

Switching to the infrared vision again, it turns out that this is the plane driven by Zhang Yan.

This is an F-35B stealth aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capabilities. Zhao Ming gave it to Zhang Yan a long time ago for transportation.

It can carry out supersonic cruise at a speed of Mach 1.6, and Zhang Yan has its own aerial refueling capability, so it is much more convenient to use than ordinary helicopters.

"Speaking of which, I forgot to develop a high-end transportation tool."

Zhao Ming suddenly thought of this problem. He could travel through the portal at will, but his assistants, including his wife and daughter, did not have this ability. They really needed a better-use aircraft.

Now that anti-gravity technology has been unlocked, it is possible to develop a small manned spacecraft that can fly directly from the ground to space.

If it is just a long-distance flight on the earth, it can also fly to a high altitude like an ordinary military aircraft and conduct hypersonic flight in an altitude of tens of thousands of meters where the air is thin.

Zhang Yan's car landed vertically dozens of meters away from Zhao Ming.

The ground was not very flat, so Zhang Yan did not land the plane completely on the ground. Instead, she opened the cockpit cover relatively close to the ground and walked out in the air.

That's right, she walked toward Zhao Ming with her feet on the air. Under the bright moonlight, she looked like Chang'e walking out of the moon palace.

"Hey, use your mental power to build stairs. You're good at it." Zhao Ming said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's okay."

Zhang Yan waved her hand with her back to the plane, turned off the plane's engine and returned to her carry-on space, looking very chic.

"Very skilled, not bad."

Zhao Ming boasted casually, then took out two large searchlights for outdoor adventures, held one in his hand, and handed the other to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan was stunned, took the searchlight and asked: "Boss, do we need to use this thing? Can't we just use our mental power to scan it?"

Zhao Ming shook his head, "Under normal circumstances, you can, but it's best not to do this today."

"Why?"

"Because what we are facing today is unknown alien technology, and it is definitely higher than our technological level. Using mental power rashly may trigger unexpected dangers."

"Uh... no way?"

"Maybe not, maybe it will, we can't be sure about this. Don't think that spiritual power is an idealistic thing. In fact, I guess it also has a material basis, but we don't have the scientific and technological knowledge in this area yet.

Just like light, it seems to have no entity. In fact, it is an electromagnetic wave, and it also has the characteristics of particles. Some things can change when you shine them with light."

"Well, I understand, such as photovoltaic power generation."

"Yes, so try not to use your mental power to scan things we have not touched."

"Okay, boss."

"But for things we are already familiar with, when we can use mental power to provide convenience, we don't need to be too stingy. After the mental power is consumed and then restored, this process will slightly increase the total amount of our mental power. This is also a kind of practice.

Bar."

As he spoke, Zhao Ming threw the searchlight in his hand into the air, held it up with his own spiritual power, and built a movable streetlight above the two people's heads.

"Wow, this is really convenient."

Zhang Yan followed suit and levitated the lamp in her hand into the air.

"Okay, let's go." Zhao Ming took the lead and walked towards the woods ahead. "In addition to the trees, you should also pay attention to the weeds under your feet. There may be monsters that look like grass."

"ah?"

Zhang Yan was startled and stared at the ground non-stop.

Seeing Zhang Yan's nervous look, Zhao Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm just talking. In fact, I don't think there will be any danger here, otherwise our people would have been killed long ago."

"Oh... By the way, boss, what exactly is this tree that can eat people?"

"I guess it is a creature between plants and animals. It may sense prey through its sense of smell, and then waits for the prey to approach before actively pulling it into its digestive organs.

From this point of view, it's a bit like a pitcher plant."

"Boss, what is Nepenthes?"

"Nepenthes is a plant that usually grows a cylindrical organ that is small at the top and large at the bottom. It is named because it looks like a pig cage.

It can secrete some aroma that attracts insects. When insects fly or crawl over, because the upper edge of the cylinder is very smooth, the insects will not be able to stand and fall into the cylinder.

There is pitcher plant secretion at the bottom of this cylinder, which not only drowns the insect, but also decomposes the insect's body so that it can absorb nutrients for itself."

"Hiss... this is the first time I've heard of insect-eating grass." Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel very interested.

"The thing we are facing is probably much more terrifying than pitcher plants, because... wait, what is that?"
