Chapter 52: The Heart

After the data collection of the drilling machine was completed, Liang Jing and Jiang Zi packed up their tools and returned to the walking car, Jiang Zi sat in the cockpit, Liang Jing looked back at the foggy half-foot lake, and the hazy lone lamp had disappeared. Liang Jing wondered if there was really a wandering dead soul behind the lamp.

"Have you seen Gogol's Dead Souls?" Liang Jing sat in the passenger seat, pulled on his seat belt, and closed the hatch of the walking car.

"Yes." Jiang Zi said, "It depicts the history of a business wizard. ”

"If you're reading the same novel as me, then the hero in this book should be a liar." Liang Jing said.

"Yes, but what's the difference?"

The walking car walked along a pre-set route, and they made four more holes in the next five hours, and it started to rain in the middle of the day, and after the rain, the air humidity became extremely high, and the low gravity made a large number of liquid droplets suspended in mid-air, as if even the wind became viscous, and Jiang Zi called this critical weather, which means a climate between gaseous and liquid, and you don't know if you are walking in air or liquid.

"You don't know how humid the air has been!" Jiang Zi wiped a helmet, and now he just wanted to put a wiper on his mask.

Liang Jing stood by the drilling rig, in addition to the drilling rig, they also stood a weather radar, the short waves emitted by the weather radar decayed extremely quickly in the atmosphere, in fact, nothing could be received.

"To what extent?" Liang Jing also wiped a mask, and his gloves were wet.

"It's oversaturated, and the readings are out of the charts." Jiang Zi said as he stretched out his hand to grasp it, "We can wring water out of the air." ”

"It's not water." Liang Jing reminded him, he raised his head and looked around, and found that what Jiang Zi said was not exaggerating, this brown-yellow mist was damp and thick like cotton that had absorbed water, it was the first time he had seen such a thick and wet fog, and he stretched out his hand to drown five fingers, "Isn't the weather abnormal?" ”

"Normal weather." Jiang Zi said, "There are times when there is a flood in the atmosphere, and the things in the sky can't disturb us for a while, so what's going on underground?" ”

"Data is being collected, huh...... But we found something very puzzling, I can't explain, you should take a look. Liang Jing stuffed the tablet into Jiang Zi's hand.

"I told you I can't see ......" Jiang Zi wanted to return the tablet, but his hand was halfway out and he was stunned.

The waveform on the tablet floated up and down very regularly, and Jiang Zi brought the tablet back to his eyes, slowly frowning, he felt that this image was familiar.

"What do you want to say?" Liang Jing stood on the side.

"You're playing with me, aren't you?" Jiang Zi rolled his eyes.

"What's fun for you?"

"Dabai, convert it into an acoustic signal." Liang Jing instructed, "It may be clearer to listen directly." ”

Liang Jing and Jiang Zi both quieted down, and Da Bai converted the signal fed back by the pulsed laser of the drilling machine into sound, and soon Jiang Zi's face changed.

He heard a dull, heavy "poof" and "poof" sound in the headphones, with a cycle of five seconds, as powerful as a drum.

"This ......" Jiang Zi raised his head in surprise.

"Dabai, let's take a look at the electrical signal again." Liang Jing then instructed that the waveform on the head-up display should change in response.

"I've seen this thing in the hospital." Jiang Zi pointed to the image on the tablet to show Liang Jing, in front of the expert, he must be 100% sure not to show timidity, "When my mother was hospitalized with a heart attack, I accompanied the bed, and I specially learned to see this thing, you see this is a P wave, and the heart starts beating from here, this is called PR...... Yes, it's called PR interval, and this is QRS complex...... Do you know what this is? It's a fucking ECG! ”

Jiang Zi shifted his gaze as he spoke, and his gaze fell on the drilling machine.

"Is this a signal from a drill rig?"

"Yes." Liang Jing nodded.

"How deep?"

"Ten kilometers."

"Do you geologists often get signals like this? Seismic waves are like this? Jiang Zi asked.

"Of course not." Liang Jing said, "Seismic waves are regular mechanical waves, there can't be any QRS complexes, and I can't explain this waveform, so I say it's incredible." ”

The two of them squatted there and stared at Ping Xian for a long time, the waveform had been very stable, and it jumped once every five seconds, and Liang Jing and Jiang Zi gradually couldn't sit still.

"No, no, no, it's definitely a fucking ECG! Definitely an ECG! Jiang Zi became excited, "It's a fucking heart very similar to a human being!" There is a heart 10,000 meters underground! Still jumping! I rely on beam workers, how the fuck is this possible? ”

"Don't ask me, I think it's beyond my expertise." Liang Jing shrugged his shoulders, he was already numb with shock, "So I can't provide any reference, did you find this thing when you were digging into the ground before?" ”

"Never."

Liang Gong and Jiang Ziduo unloaded two drill rigs, stood on the ice and began to drill holes, and they needed at least three drill bits to locate the exact location and depth of this heart.

The three drilling rigs began to position at the same time, the pulsed laser was driven vertically into the ground, Liang Jing and Jiang Zi stood on the ground holding the terminal, the results obtained by one drilling rig may be inaccurate, and the three drilling rigs can eliminate the possibility that the data is wrong, and they receive the results at the same time.

"The depth of the epicenter is less than 12,000 kilometers."

"There is no sign of movement."

"I wipe ...... How big a heart does this have to be? The earth's crust shakes when it beats! Jiang Zi exclaimed, "Is this a giant creature that is sleeping?" Or does the planet have a heart? Liang Gong, are you sure that the surface uplift is a volcanic eruption, not something that has turned over underground? ”

Dabai made a simple estimate based on the data sent back by the drilling machine, if this is really a heart, then the energy generated by this heart every time it beats is extremely amazing, equivalent to detonating an atomic bomb during an underground nuclear test.

Liang Jing wanted to explain that this was crustal activity, because a heart weighing tens of thousands of tons or even hundreds of thousands of tons was indeed outrageous, but if this obvious electrocardiogram was interpreted as crustal activity, it would be even more outrageous than a large heart...... He was only a geologist and not a biologist, and he couldn't explain why his heart was beating more than 10,000 meters underground, and he should pull Moyu over next time for her to see.

"Didn't you say there was an ocean underground?" Jiang Zi asked.

Liang Jing nodded.

"We may have discovered the largest creature ever discovered?"

"If this is a creature." Liang Jing thought for a moment, "Its size and weight must be the size of Mount Everest, right?" What the hell is this super monster? ”
