Chapter 159: Boat Journey

Zeng Qian and I focused on the discussion of luminescent creatures, ignoring Team Cao, who was halfway through the conversation, and it was only when he opened his mouth that we realized that his information was crucial to our judgment. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Team Cao is very calm in his narration, but what he tells is explosive.

When Team Cao received this task, Li Guoliang found him. Li Guoliang was ostensibly a radar soldier of the Beijing garrison, and was arranged by his superiors to cooperate with the work of Cao's team. But judging from his rank as a major, he should not be as simple as he is introduced on his resume. Li Guoliang brought him four messages.

First, the research ship that disappeared last autumn did not investigate the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road. Among the missing people, there were only two experts in history and ceramics, and the scientific expedition team was more experts in geology, nuclear physics, hydrology and intelligence, so it can be said that the losses caused by the wreck of the research ship were very huge. The target of this expedition was the shipwrecks and inexplicable electromagnetic interference that often occur in the waters around Luoxingdun.

Second, the reason why there was such an expedition was actually because in the spring of that year, a private salvage team came to Luoxingdun, hoping to find the gold on the Kobe Maru, and behind this private salvage team was the salvage company in the United States that had disappeared for 50 years. Disguised as a local dredging boat, they surveyed underwater for nearly a month, but divers they hired discovered a mysterious cave under a reef, but it was inaccessible due to geothermal rivers gushing out of the cave, but their metal detectors showed that there was a large amount of metallic material in the cave. Just as they were about to get a few sets of heat-resistant diving suits before entering the cave, they found that the two divers in the cave had a high fever, vomiting, and coma, and were taken to the hospital, where they died in less than two weeks. The hospital found that the diver died of ultra-high-intensity radioactive radiation, which attracted the attention of the government department and controlled the civilian salvage team, so we had the detailed file of the American salvage ship that Cao team showed us.

Third, before the accident of the research ship, Professor Lu had roughly discovered the location of the Donggua Reef and the flow of the geothermal river, and after the telephone was jammed on the night of the disappearance, the ship's automatic radio transmission device has been working, which is similar to the black box on the plane, which is difficult to be damaged by external forces. But three minutes after the ship sank, the signal disappeared completely. The black box was destroyed, and experts thought that it could only be the result of being corroded by strong acid, but the strong acid that can corrode the black box in three minutes seems to be absent on earth. More crucially, the mysterious luminescent plankton discovered by Professor Lu is mentioned in the files of the American salvage ship and the accounts of local witnesses, which should be closely related to the source of radiation interference and sudden strange weather.

As early as the 50s, the state sent two expeditions to find out the secrets of the bottom of the lake, but both expeditions ended in failure, and nearly 50 scientific expeditions went missing. The state had to terminate further investigations. If it weren't for the appearance of Americans on the civilian salvage ship this time, it might be difficult for these dusty archives to be rediscovered.

After Li Guoliang told the Cao team these pieces of information, he repeatedly told him that these are highly confidential contents, and the Cao team must not leak them, and at the same time he also roughly explained his views, Li Guoliang believes that the radioactive material under the waters of Luoxingdun is very likely to be left behind after the fall of a meteorite, but it seems to be very different from the nuclear physics technology we have now, and even a new nuclear material that we have not yet discovered, which is the reason why the country is really interested. Of course, the ecological impact of radiation on the surrounding waters and the impact on the climate are also important to be examined.

According to Li Guoliang, the reason for the frequent shipwrecks in Poyang Lake is that on the one hand, radiation interferes with electronic equipment, and on the other hand, the radiation source may have had an impact on the climate, which is not yet known to us, causing strong winds and waves and whirlpools. But if you can't find the source of the radiation, you'll never be able to figure out the mystery.

The work instructions given to Cao by Cao's superiors turned out to be to ensure Li Guoliang's safety, because Li Guoliang has made very important contributions to radio communications, electromagnetic fields and electromagnetic energy conversion, although he is young, he is a consultant for China's stealth weapon technology research, and his research will play a very important role in the field of national defense in the next few decades, and his safety is the top priority.

And the final result is also what we see, the test of electromagnetic interference, the survey of the geothermal river, and the plan of diving search and rescue are basically formulated by Li Guoliang, and the Cao team is more like his logistics support, the docking and dredging of local relations and resources, and the security protection, which is probably the fundamental reason why he did not talk much along the way.

But this time, Zeng Qian and I put Cao in a dilemma, believing that Zeng Qian's adventure and I had proved that there was a life form in the radiation source that humans could not yet understand and recognize, and this life form obviously had a strong aggressive type, which posed a huge threat to the search and rescue of the next research ship. But whether Li Guoliang can agree with the existence of this kind of life form is still a question mark, not to mention adjusting the investigation plan because of this. In Li Guoliang's original plan, once the location of the radiation source was confirmed, divers wearing radiation-proof diving suits would be arranged to enter the cave for sampling and analysis, which was also the core of the entire expedition plan. But we all knew in our hearts that this must be a plan with no return.

"Li Guoliang is a person who has a strong sense of responsibility for work, excellent ability, careful thinking, and rigorous work, in fact, he is a rare talent, but he is very stubborn in his profession, and it may be a little inaccurate to say that he is stubborn, and it is more appropriate to use paranoia. Team Cao shook his head helplessly, and introduced to us the feelings of working with Li Guoliang during this period of time, which was obviously not very pleasant.

As a matter of fact, before the expedition team set out, the Cao team had already noticed the occurrence of shipwrecks, and most of them were concentrated in the late spring to early autumn, so they suggested that Li Guoliang set off again in the autumn, but Li Guoliang refused to do so, and the reason was very simple: If there was no shipwreck, how could the truth be discovered? Sacrifice is sometimes unavoidable, and if it can be exchanged for success, everything is worth it.

After the expedition team went to Xingzi County, Li Guoliang had basically confirmed the location of the geothermal river and began to lock on the radiation source, and he arranged for divers to carry out dozens of underwater operations, on the one hand, to search for the source along the geothermal river, and on the other hand, to search for the wreckage of the previous scientific research ship. However, more than a dozen times a day of diving and ascending is almost to the limit of what people can bear, and the underwater environment is extremely complex, and danger can occur at any time. Team Cao suggested that Li Guoliang reduce the frequency of searches to ensure that the divers were in good physical condition. But Li Guoliang simply took the lead, put on a diving suit, and dived with the divers, although it was said that the work intensity of the divers was reduced in a sense, but obviously he did not agree with the Cao team's suggestion, but it made it difficult for the Cao team to say anything.

The night before we went down to the lake, the research ship came to the vicinity of Donggua Reef along the geothermal river, but it was not able to confirm the source of the geothermal river, and began to continuously test the water temperature and survey the condition of the river. About after dark, Cao's team found that some small luminous objects had begun to appear underwater, slowly converging, worried that it was a harbinger of weather changes, and reminded Li Guoliang whether he had retreated to a safe area and revisited after dawn. But Li Guoliang thought that he was close to his goal and insisted on working overnight.

When the Cao team found that the maritime satellite signal was interfered with, the wind began to rise on the lake, and the mist slowly rose from the lake, an ominous premonition came to their hearts, and they simply ignored Li Guoliang's opposition, locked him in the cabin, and drove the boat to a safe area. This morning, Li Guoliang had a telephone conversation with his superiors and asked for the removal and replacement of the Cao team, and the superiors of the Cao team quickly gave Cao the instructions to carry out Li Guoliang's plan, but if necessary, he could be taken out of the danger zone on the grounds of safety. The current Cao team can only watch Li Guoliang start his plan.

It was only then that I understood why Team Cao's phone had been unable to get through yesterday. At that time, when I asked to go to Xingzi County to investigate, why did Cao Team and Li Guoliang show great support. Now we can only hope that what happened to me and Zeng Qian at Donggua Reef can make Li Guoliang agree that Team Cao's judgment is correct, but we all know in our hearts that as a paranoid person, Li Guoliang will probably think that if he was the one who commanded on the scene, maybe the result would be fundamentally different.

After the Cao team outlined the causes and consequences of this investigation, in fact, we all realized that the fundamental reason for the continuous failure and sinking of the previous search and rescue and investigation was that they never considered that the expedition team was facing a living life, even an intelligent life, and knew nothing about its habits and destructive power. But how to get Li Guoliang, an overly troubled person, to accept the idea that there are intelligent beings in the radiation source is indeed a problem.

"Old Cao, if Li Guoliang hadn't estimated the factor of luminescent organisms, then he would definitely have a huge deviation, I have a way to make him realize what he is facing?" Indeed, in the face of professional research, only Zeng Qian could convince him.

(Constant, long.) Just up and down, thunder and wind, Xun and move, rigid and soft should be constant. Hengheng is not to blame, Li Zhen is long-lasting, and the way of heaven and earth is eternal and endless. There is a future, and there is a beginning in the end. The sun and the moon are in the sky, and can shine for a long time, the four seasons change, and can be achieved for a long time, the saint is long in its way, and the world is formed--; )
