Chapter 1043: Destination
"That's the question." Scott's mouth smacked, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes, "I don't know what to say right now, unless we can dive to the bottom of the Marinaya Trench to find out." ”
"The Space-Time Gate is at the bottom of the Marinaya Trench?" Ning Yi asked.
Scott nodded: "Yes, according to the current calculation, the intersection of the three lines is at 10,000 and 353 meters in the Marinaya Trench, but although it is not the deepest place, it is not what the current human technology can reach, and the water pressure there is enough to compress an elephant into a meat biscuit." ”
What Scott said is not a lie, and Ning Yi is naturally very clear, but of course, on Earth, human technology has already reached there in 1960, Swiss physicist Jacques Piccard and American Navy personnel Walsh, aboard the deep-sea diving ship "Trieste" to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, reaching a depth of more than 11 kilometers.
Later, the famous Hollywood director Cameron also reached a depth of 10,898 meters.
It's just that no one in this world has ever reached the bottom of the Marinaya Trench, and with the Ghost Claw monster at work, it's impossible to know what it will be like there.
"If we want to know if it's a space-time portal, then we'll have to go there and find out for ourselves." Zheng Beibei interjected, "But according to our analysis, there are a lot of ghostly claw monsters there, and the deep-water probe adventurer we are currently studying can only barely reach a depth of nine thousand five hundred meters, which is still quite a long way from ten thousand and four hundred meters. ”
"You're already working on a deep-water submersible?" Before Ning Yi could ask a question, Dr. Scott on the side couldn't help but ask curiously.
Ning Yi smiled when he heard this. He replied: "I am studying deep-water submersibles, and it is true that I am going to the Marinaya Trench." However, at that time, it was not expected that the Marinaya Trench might have a time-space gate. ”
"However, this deep-water submersible may not be able to handle our current mission." Ning Yi frowned and said.
Scott nodded: "It looks like it is at the moment. But Mr. Ning should not be discouraged, in fact, the problem may be much simpler than we think. ”
"What do you mean?" Ning Yi asked.
Scott looked at Zheng Beibei on the side, smiled and said, "Dr. Zheng gave me some information, which is about your last voyage." ”
Zheng Beibei explained: "Dr. Scott is very interested in learning about the Marinaya Trench, so I have compiled the information you encountered on your last voyage and asked him to refer to it. ”
Ning Yi nodded, the accident encountered in the Marinaya Trench on the last voyage, Ning Yi did let people record all the things they encountered along the way, and sorted them out.
He thought. This information will certainly be useful for future research.
But it's top-secret information, it's a lot of human lives, and even he almost can't come back.
But of course, in the case of Dr. Scott, he doesn't have much of an opinion.
These things were originally used for research, and now they are being used appropriately.
"Does the Doctor see what's going on?" Ning Yi was more interested in what Dr. Scott had seen or gained from those materials.
Scott nodded and hurriedly replied, "According to the information provided to me by Dr. Zheng. Dr. Zheng and I believe that the bottom of the Marinaya Trench is probably not as difficult as it seems. ”
"How so?"
"Theoretically, the depths below 8,000 meters at the bottom of the Marinaya Trench are simply not suitable for large fish, let alone terrifying giant monsters like the Spectreclaw. Even though their shells and armor are extremely hard, it is hard to imagine that they can withstand such terrifying water pressure. Dr. Scott had a puzzled look on his face. So, there is only one possibility. The water pressure at the bottom below is most likely not as great as we thought. ”
Ning Yi looked at Zheng Beibei, actually. He had thought of this a long time ago.
"So what does the Doctor think we can do in the Marinaya Trench?" Ning Yi asked.
Dr. Scott shook his head: "There are still a lot of risks, even if the water pressure over there is not so terrifying, the deep-water submersible can reach that depth, but we still have a few big problems to solve, the first is whether the deep-water submersible can withstand the attacks of the Spectral Monster and the Red Demon Dragon, oh no, or rather, add the deep-sea trolls." ”
"The second problem is that if the electronic devices in that area are unusable and may fall into temporal disarray, it is difficult to predict what other dangers will occur."
He paused, and then said: "Dr. Zheng and I agree that there is probably a space-time portal at the bottom of the ocean depths, which is actually a small black hole, and the huge gravitational pull of the black hole balances the huge water pressure at the bottom of the trench, and also accelerates time, so time will speed up in that area, and at the same time, the water pressure is not so great, but if we rashly drive a deep-water submersible to visit there, I am afraid that we will be sucked into that black hole, and at that time, it will be difficult for us to leave." ”
"Moreover, if the speed of time flow inside is different from the speed of time outside, the consequences are definitely unpredictable for us, maybe we can see the mystery of the gate of time and space, but if we really see it clearly, and then come out, this world is no longer the world we originally knew."
Ning Yi frowned slightly, the two big difficulties that Scott said were indeed what he was most worried about now.
Deep-water submersibles have not been tested in any way now, and he knows exactly how the "Xingye" was harassed by the Phantom Claw and the Red Demon Dragon all the way on the last voyage.
Not to mention going deep into the depths of the sea, even if the "Earth" is officially installed, with the threat of deep-sea trolls, it is a question whether it can safely drive to that sea area at that time.
If you drive deep under the sea and encounter a deep-sea troll, it will be even more unlucky.
In addition to this security issue, Dr. Scott mentioned another problem that is even more unsolvable.
Because of the safety problem, which is also a matter of probability, and you can also fight the deep sea trolls on your own.
But the problem of space-time disorder in that region, Ning Yi can't help it, if, as Scott said, the gravitational tide of the black hole will distort space-time and change the flow rate of time.
The closer you get to the black hole, the faster time passes.
If you reach the deepest part of the black hole, reach the event horizon or even see the singularity, then for the people inside, time is likely to be immovable, and the world outside the black hole, time is passing extremely fast.
Therefore, if they were infinitely close to the gate of time and space, it was likely that by the time Ning Yi and them figured out the mystery of the gate of time and space, the outside world would have passed for decades or even hundreds of years.
If so, their research wouldn't be meaningless.
The water blue star that I saw at that time was probably already a water blue star that had been occupied by those demon beasts.
Of course, all this may not happen, but as long as there is such a risk, Ning Yi will not dare to take risks.
Because for now, the fate of the human race of Aqua Blue Star is in the hands of a few of them, and if they are "wiped out", the future of the human race may be completely lost.
Ning Yi has to be careful now, he is just himself, but it is not just him who goes to study the gate of time and space, but a whole team.
These people are trying to figure out how those monsters came to this world, and then find a way to close the passage.
Once these people have something, the progress of researching and dealing with the Colora Star monster will be delayed for an unknown number of years.
Seeing the hesitation on Ning Yi's face, Dr. Scott laughed and put down the baton in his hand.
"Mr. Ning, I don't know if I have the honor to be the first guests of the 32 Group Earth and Adventurer deep-water submersibles."
"The Doctor wants to go to the bottom of the Marinaya Trench himself?" Ning Yi asked with some surprise.
In his plan, even if he was going to explore the Marinaya Trench, he would not take him with him.
Humanity may not be able to afford this risk.
In case something happens, he Ning Yi can rely on his current strength and may be able to escape the ascension, but Scott, who has no force value, is definitely a dead end.
As a scientist, and such an important scientist, Scott didn't have to go to the field himself, he just had to analyze it through video and data from the front detection, and there was no need to take the risk himself.
However, Scott nodded affirmatively: "Mr. Ning, this is my life's research, I must personally confirm it, for me, my mission has ended up now, and the rest is just to see if the results of my life's research can be confirmed one by one, which is more important to me than anything else." ”
Ning Yi thought for a moment.
Before he could speak, Scott continued: "Don't worry, Mr. Ning, I will compile the results and experiences of my life's research before I leave, and my assistant, Amferle, has been with me for six years, and he has basically participated in all the verification work I have been doing over the years, even if I am not there, he can still take over me." ”
"Okay, I promise you." Ning Yi nodded, Scott is worthy of being a pure scientist, perhaps, let him see his research results confirmed, it is really the most meaningful thing for him.
As he spoke, the phone rang in the corner of the meeting.
Ning Yi and everyone couldn't help frowning slightly, today's meeting is very important, and half of the calls will not come in.
Zheng Beibei walked over and picked up the phone.
Soon, her face changed, and then she hurried over to a computer in the conference room and quickly clicked on something.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yi asked. (To be continued.) )
