"Incredible." Jiang Zi whispered, "Isn't there an upper limit to the growth of living things?" ”

"God knows." Liang Jing exhaled, "God knows what kind of primeval beast this is, damn my worldview has been destroyed, I'm going crazy...... Stationmaster, let me tell you, even if the surface cracks in the next second, I won't be surprised if a Leviathan emerges from the abyss. ”

"This hellish place has been developed for almost ten years, and nothing has been harvested, why did all the major achievements pop up this week?" Jiang Zi said to himself, "Could it be that this year is really a turning point in the fate of mankind?" ”

Liang Jing squatted on the ice to probe his brain, he was very curious about the majestic heartbeat, the mountain-like giant creatures, it is easy to remind people of religion and mythology, the Christian Bible has recorded that the giant beasts Leviathan and Behemoth can compete with demons, Norse mythology has the earthly giant python Jörmungader around the world, people's worship and fear of giant things and power throughout the entire history of human civilization, mountain-like giant beasts, either gods or demons.

But the hole is too thin and too deep, from the top can only see a small hole in the black hole, Liang Jing can not see the scene below 10,000 meters on the surface, he opened one eye and closed one eye to look east and west, aimed for a long time, and then sat on the ground and was silent for a long time.

"Stationmaster, are you a materialist?"

"Of course." Jiang Zi patted his chest, "A staunch materialist, he has been educated in Marxism since he was a child. ”

"You told me about the Russian Kola burrowing, and it was rumored that Kola had gone into hell and could hear the howl of demons." Liang Jing said, "We are really in this situation now...... If I were a Christian, I'd think there was a Leviathan sleeping underground. ”

"Leviathan is there anything to be afraid of." Jiang Zi thought very straight, "Dig a hole and stuff two nuclear bombs, isn't it just called a flower chicken?" ”

Materialists are fearless.

But if you want to completely suffocate a monster the size of Mount Everest, two nuclear bombs may not be enough.

"The largest creature that has ever existed in the history of Earth is the blue whale." Liang Jing said, "The blue whale's heart artery can drill into an adult, but there is an order of magnitude difference from this comparison, and Dabai roughly calculates that the power of this heart is about the same as that of a fusion power station, and the energy produced is enough for a million-person city to use electricity...... To be honest, if you want to say that this is an ancient god, I also believe it, in Greek mythology, Zeus is just controlling thunder and lightning, and there is nothing wrong with replacing it with Faraday or Tesla. ”

"Zi is silent, and the strange force is confused." Jiang Zi showed a solid ideological foundation of materialism and Marxism, and he imagined what kind of creature needed a fusion reactor as its heart, and it could only be a mega-giant ship of one million tons.

"For a creature that is completely beyond our imagination, there is no problem at all in calling it a god." Liang Jing spread his hands, "In a philosophical sense, we can call all beings beyond human beings God, God is omniscient and omnipotent, and there are blind and stupid, and the ball in Cassini can also be God." ”

"What kind of god is that?" Jiang Zi said, "Yuanshen? ”

"Is there a way to see underneath?" Liang Jing walked around the drilling rig and pondered, "Do you think it is okay to use tools like optical fibers and endoscopes?" Is it feasible? ”

"More than 10,000 meters deep, use more than 10,000 meters of optical fiber to probe?" Jiang Zi shook his head, "And no one knows what the environment is underneath, optical fibers and cables are too fragile, not resistant to high temperature or high pressure, not to mention that we don't know the exact location of the sound source, relying on our belongings is to see clearly, people have to use a few more Luoyang shovels to reverse the bucket, the pit you have to dig is deeper than the Mariana Trench." ”

Liang Jing pondered for a moment, Jiang Zi was telling the truth, the underground environment is too extreme, the working conditions are extremely harsh, there are few mechanical probes that can work normally at a depth of 10,000 meters, even if the alloy drill bit should be worn out several at this time, even with modern human engineering technology, it is still unthinkable to carry out complex operations at a depth of 10,000 meters below the earth's crust.

If you want to peel open the thick crust and ice to see what this huge creature looks like, you can't do it with the conditions of Cassini Station, and you need to send a special construction team from the earth side, and then carry out large-scale drilling and excavation work in the extreme weather on Titan, which is very expensive - but the earthlings will definitely spend this money.

In the end, Liang Jing gave up the idea of snooping, he really couldn't think of a good way to break through the ten-kilometer-thick stratum barrier.

"Let's go, let's go, we're done collecting data, we should go back." Jiang Zi's task is to bring these people who want to spend the night outside on time as soon as their brains are hot, if no one urges Liang Jing is afraid that he can squat here for a night, "It's time, let Dabai record the coordinates, and come to it again in the future, and bring an excavator brigade over next time." ”

Liang Jing got up and pointed ahead, "I remember that there was an old drill hole not far from there. ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"The drilling was to take the ice core, but when we drilled the hole, we didn't find any vibrations, and it stands to reason that such a strong vibration signal could be received over a large area." Liang Jing continued, "Do you understand what I mean? This heartbeat is recent, and it has never been seen before, which means that the heart is not beating all the time, or that it is not beating here all the time. ”

"You mean it moves?"

Liang Jing nodded, "Recording coordinates may just be carving a boat to ask for a sword, and when you come back next time, it will no longer be here." ”

"Well, it's still a nuclear-powered submarine." Jiang Zi sighed, "Maozi's strategic nuclear submarine won't go under the ice at a depth of 10,000 meters, right...... Now what can we do? Dig and can't dig out, see and can't see, send someone to squat here and follow it? Liang Gong, our main task is to observe the volcano, this is the top priority, the task of tracking the strategic nuclear submarine will be handed over to the Yankees, hurry back, the chef is still waiting for us. ”

Jiang Zi is right, the priority is the volcano, and the heartbeat is just an accidental discovery - although the heartbeat is much more attractive than the volcano, they can't put the cart before the horse.

Liang Jing and Jiang Zi packed up all their belongings, and kept a drilling rig to continue receiving signals from their hearts and transmitting them back to Cassini Station with an antenna. Sitting in the car, Liang Jing and Jiang Zi stared at the waveform on the monitor, the heart still beating heavily and powerfully, and they could both imagine some huge god-like creature sleeping or giving birth in the dark underground ice sea, and each beat of it was like a drum, hitting their eardrums and chests hard, gradually coinciding with their heartbeats.
