Chapter 347: Underground Forest
Minister Song pointed to the tablet in Ning Yuan's hand and whispered: "This is confidential information, don't talk nonsense when you go out." ”
The latter understood and looked down.
The interface is a photo album with the title - Pingqi City Artificial Drilling Cave.
There are more than 60 photographs in total, showing tattered yellowed papyrus and black handwriting, recording some kind of information.
Ning Yuan's fingers kept sliding from left to right on the surface of the screen, and he soon revealed a shocked face.
According to the above statement, on March 5, 1946, the former British Prime Minister delivered the Iron Curtain Speech in Fulton, USA, which kicked off the Cold War era.
The two military blocs, the United States and the Soviet Union, confronted each other, and because they were equal in strength, they were afraid of each other, and both had a large number of nuclear warheads in storage, and neither dared to take the lead in using force to end the struggle between the other side and itself for world hegemony.
In a word, they do not want to cause a third world war.
During this period, the two major military blocs competed openly and covertly, and even launched a geocentric exploration program.
The end result is a super cave with a depth of 12,262 meters, the third deepest in the world.
It wasn't until more than two decades ago that the project was abruptly terminated.
According to the official disclosure, it is because of insufficient funds.
This is pure!
More than 9,000 metres above the surface, the team discovered a giant gold and diamond mine.
As long as there are 4 grams of gold per tonne of ore or soil, there is commercial mining value.
This super gold mine contains 80 grams of gold per tonne of soil, which can be described as extremely pure.
In this way, the commercial value is terrifying!
Not to mention the cave exploration funds, just mine and refine, and you can easily buy a city!
Therefore, after the Soviet Union ordered the termination of further drilling, the real reason has been kept secret.
At the time of the cave drilling project, famine, war, and plague were rife all over the world.
At this time, the Soviet Union spent a lot of manpower, energy and material resources to carry out cave exploration up to 10,000 meters deep.
There is also the United States, which is in a hurry to develop long-distance launch vehicles, artificial satellites, and wants to be the first to land on the moon.
Why do they do this?
The truth has been submerged in history and covered with dust.
A series of pictures on the tablet, but the black handwriting on them clearly tells the reason.
In addition to humans, there are other civilizations on Earth and the Moon!
The center of the earth is more than 6,000 kilometers above the surface, and such a thickness, like a sandwich biscuit, lives on the surface of the human being, and a few kilometers below is another creature.
A few thousand meters or tens of thousands of meters further down, new civilizations have emerged.
Perhaps it is not appropriate to describe it as civilization, they are creatures, most of them have no intelligence, and they are not even a race......
Seeing half of it, Ning Yuan paused slightly, digesting the information.
Minister Song smiled: "Surprised, right?"
Immediately sighed: "The first time I learned the news, I was even more shocked than you." ”
Ning Yuan said slowly: "A little, I really didn't expect that there are large-scale biota underground. ”
The two chatted a few words, and he looked at the tablet carefully.
The reason why the United States and the Soviet Union took the lead, one drilled a hole and landed one on the moon, was to thoroughly understand other living things.
Observe, Study, Converge......
Until the last enslavement!
However, the two military blocs miscalculated.
The Moon is so far away that it is still in a state of exploration to this day.
The seemingly close underground civilization has left the Soviet Union, a former superpower, so forced to close the drilling program to ensure its own safety.
During the Cold War, drilling engineering was very popular.
It's just that the depth of the cave varies according to the strength of the cave.
Coincidentally, Huaxia also has such a project, which is located in a basin in present-day Pingqi City.
The cave is seven thousand one thousand meters deep, and for some reason more than twenty years ago, it was hastily closed.
Originally, this volume of history had been sealed in the dust and was classified as a state secret archive.
But the production of light-speed tanks is in a bottleneck, and a large number of new materials are urgently needed.
A senior member stumbled upon the document while flipping through the materials.
In the deepest part of the artificial cave in Pingqi City, there is a special metal, which is exactly the same as the new material.
That's why we have today's invitation.
Ning Yuan put down the tablet and raised his hand to stretch out: "I'm done." ”
After finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment, and his face was a little puzzled: "Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, it is no longer the backward state of twenty years ago.
As long as there is a need, whether it is a super strong, a top talent, or a modern army, it is all available.
Is it just an underground biota that can still block guns and bullets?"
Minister Song smiled bitterly: "If it was really that simple, I wouldn't have invited you here." ”
He motioned for Ning Yuan to continue scrolling down to look at the next album, and hinted at being mentally prepared.
The latter did as he was told, but he was disgusted by the first photo.
It was a morgue with a corpse in a white lab coat lying quietly in the center.
His face was covered with dense purple pus, and he was drummed high, each one the size of a marble, up and down, so that it was impossible to see the face of the deceased.
Not only that, but the palms and backs of his hands, calves, soles of feet, and all the exposed parts of his body were covered with this purple pustule, which was disgusting.
Ning Yuanjian frowned slightly, looked at a few photos, and asked, "What does this mean?"
Minister Song's voice was low: "When the engineering team drilled to a depth of 7,100 meters, a vast underground forest appeared in the hollow soil here.
However, within a few days, a large number of staff members died violently and inexplicably, all of them in this way.
At that time, due to medical technology, the true cause of death was not known, but it was suspected that it was related to the underground forest.
Whoever enters the Underground Forest, no one survives.
Eventually, the drilling program had to be shut down, until today. ”
Ning Yuan seemed to have an understanding, folded his hands on his chin, and nodded his head slightly.
Minister Song said earnestly: "Xiaoyuan, this matter is more complicated, because I don't know the specific situation of the underground forest, I can't give a guarantee.
There are definitely safety hazards, but I really can't find a better candidate other than you. ”
He sighed and looked helpless: "There are very few members of the special service team of the National Security Bureau, and the plant department is even more negligible, only Liu Tu, a third-level ability.
There are also particularly powerful existences, but considering that the underground forest is related to plants, it still feels like you are the most suitable after thinking about it.
After all, the seventh-level ability, whether it is facing a new virus or other things, has a strong immunity......"
Ning Yuan suddenly spoke: "Give an accurate time, I can help." ”
"What?" Minister Song thought he had misheard, and looked at the former with wide eyes: "You say it again?"
Ning Yuan said with a smile: "I am very interested in underground civilization, knowing this, even if I am not invited, I will take a chance to go down in person to see what the situation is." ”
After saying that, he shrugged and added: "After all, people are curious. (To be continued.) )
