Chapter 474: The Forces of Nature (Part II)
A few people around, you look at me, I look at you, and they all see the jealousy in each other's eyes. In an unknown and destined complex environment, it is too difficult to have a group of spirits who are known for their sensitivity huddled together.
"This may be an ecstasy."
Choi Sung-hyuk of the Justice Order, who is a rare physical powerhouse in the group, is more accustomed to this environment, but he also expressed a cautious attitude: "We haven't found anything related to the laboratory portal now, and the root of all suspicions is just because this mud appeared in the search area...... Edge? ”
"You're saying it could be a 'joke' on the part of Black Mist."
"Well, a joke of a nasty nature."
Pure Heart and Horned Demon communicate quickly in the internal communication network, but they can't be sure in the end. It is imperative to investigate, but how to investigate the method, whether it is worth investing a lot of time and energy, is a question that needs to be judged.
Huadian put forward a suggestion: "I have a 'road mark' here, a gadget that I have refined myself." Basically, it can be understood as a kind of paint, which can identify the traces of various forces. I am particularly sensitive to the supernatural powers, which are the interaction between spirit and matter, and I can put it down and verify it. ”
What he meant, everyone else understood: the Luo Yuandao laboratory they were looking for could basically be regarded as a "natural effect", if they found that there were strong traces of extraordinary power, there was no need to say anything, this was a den of fraud, everyone turned around and walked away.
Jingxin raised his hand and suggested: "Dig deeper, we can't sense it at the moment, it may be that the location of the action is relatively hidden, such as hiding near the lava pipe in the magma room, directly stimulating the eruption, and it is not impossible for the spirit of the black fog to play this set." ”
"This is natural, but my ability is limited, in such a complex area, at most let the 'road marker' sink about 100 meters, compared to the thickness of the earth's crust, it is too insignificant."
"To be able to form a geothermal mud hot spring, the thickness of the rock layer should be relatively thin. As long as you can detect the fault zone of the rock formation under this hot spring, you can do it. Stimulating the magma chamber and causing the water storage rock formation to break is not a means that the black fog can only curse in circles can come up with. ”
Gardner, who has the most smelly mouth, has a rare analysis, and it has been recognized by most people. While speaking, he also walked to the back of his off-road vehicle, and under the gaze of a group of people, he took out an equipment box from the trunk, and opened the front and rear doors of the car and the roof cover, so that the feature-rich center console instrument interface was revealed:
"I can add another round of assistance to explore the wasteland with difficult terrain, and I believe that the instruments are better than my own perception."
The Horned Demon whistled.
Gardner took out the equipment box, which was a neatly arranged precision component, and a little combination of some of them formed a round-looking probe ball.
"The A9 detector produced by Lamar Company, although its functions may not seem to be sophisticated, is the most portable professional instrument in the field of complex terrain detection. It has a wealth of functional modules, optical imaging, metal detection, life detection, topographic mapping...... There's always the one that's right for you. Well, the ad break is over, and there's one more issue that needs to be solved:
"In this mud, normal thrusters can't work, let alone underground rock formations and currents, I need a buddy who can provide power, at least help this little thing get through the harsh terrain ahead, and when it enters the underground river, it will be more sensitive than any live fish."
Several B-level ability people looked left and right, and finally their eyes were all focused on the fat dragon's face.
The latter did not say a word and turned to leave.
The horse monkey immediately endured the gazes of all parties, and barely squeezed out a smile on his thin face: "He has to find a suitable tool, it shouldn't be too long." ”
In fact, it only took about seven or eight minutes for the fat dragon to reappear in everyone's field of vision, still holding a living creature that looked like a frog in his hand.
Huadian is knowledgeable and immediately recognized: "Cloth bag magic frog, a plateau specialty, this is rare." ”
The fat dragon asked Gardner for the probe ball, after Hua Dian had stuffed his "road marker" into the storage area of the thing.
The probe ball is in the left hand and the magic frog is in the right hand, and it is obvious that the probe ball, which is about the size of a volleyball, is more than a circle larger than the cloth bag magic frog.
But the fat dragon didn't care, and grabbed the bag magic frog twice, after two muffled frog chirps, the blue-gray bag magic frog began to expand rapidly, and opened its mouth wide, the cracked upper and lower palate was more exaggerated than the diameter of its expanding body, and it was easy to stuff the probe ball in, and with the strong skin and flesh squirming several times, the probe ball fell steadily into the belly of the cloth bag demon frog, and it was still spinning.
"Genius idea."
Gardner snapped his fingers, then turned on the probe ball, adjusted the parameters, excluded the influence of the flesh of the cloth bag demon frog, confirmed that everything was correct, and made an "OK" gesture.
The fat dragon threw away the demon frog that had actually swelled into a bulging bag in his hand, and threw the deformed seed into the churning mud.
Under poor environmental conditions, the optical imaging module of the probe ball was not turned on, but the thermal imaging and various detection wave technologies were trustworthy, and the network connection was fairly stable. As the Bag Frog sinks, the structure of the subterranean area of this geothermal mud hot spring that suddenly emerges is gradually outlined and enriched with details on the center console projection screen of the Gardner off-road vehicle.
Gardner acted as a temporary technician, and he was also very suitable for this role, as he continued to adjust the relevant parameters, the projection area was constantly smearing the contours and changing trends of soil, rock formations, and water flows, as well as more detailed data such as temperature, pH, and the content of various elements, which were also presented one after another after excluding the interference of the body of the puppet frog.
These pictures and data are enough for everyone to have some preliminary judgments, and Gardner can basically agree with people while operating and babbling explanations:
"The soil and rock layers are relatively thin, and large areas are like this, and it is possible to be interrupted by high pressure.
"The mineral composition is more complex, close to the magma chamber below, it should be a metamorphic rock formed by its influence, which is the result of a long period of action, and the youngest trace here is probably the radiation residue from the Third World War.
"The temperature continues to rise, and the magma chamber is indeed relatively active, anyway, if you go down to probe in the flesh, I refuse...... Hey, Mr. Detective, is your paint reacting? ”
"Yes, fortunately, it will manifest itself as a different thermal gradient, which is convenient for the instrument to perceive."
Huadian signaled if he could join the operation, and after getting Gardner's permission, he adjusted some parameters in the thermal imaging system, and in the blink of an eye, the interface that was still clear was painted with excessive brilliant colors.
"Hey, hey!"
"Sorry, allow me to simplify. In this way, I set the Extraordinary Force action to 'Red' and the other Natural Forces to 'White', which is the most intuitive. ”
Huadian operated it a few times, and the interface finally became much clearer, but it was white and miserable, like a layer of inferior wall ash, monotonous and rigid.
