Chapter 438

These carbonized powders may have come from the body tissues of the deceased, Chen Shi looked back and learned that it was indeed as he thought.

But these clues are not enough to judge the truth of the facts, Chen Shi feels that the Americans seem to be a little embarrassed by themselves, but you can't say that you should ask for another smart at this time, right?

He stood up and walked around the laboratory, in the laboratory with complex equipment, he couldn't understand what the Americans were studying here, and finally he could only shake his head and say: "Colonel, with all due respect, you must tell me the real purpose of your research here, otherwise I will not be able to make a corresponding judgment." ”

Colonel Fred apparently hesitated, he thought about it, and finally went out and made a phone call, presumably with permission, and then came back and said, "Please come with me." ”

led Chen Shi and Xiao Yang forward and came to another laboratory.

Compared with the previous laboratory, the laboratory here is more heavily guarded, but there are not many researchers coming and going, only a few.

Seeing Colonel Fred coming in with the personnel, the researchers did not say anything to stop them, but just looked at the experimental data on the monitor.

"What you want to see, it's there."

"That's ......"

Following Colonel Fred's gaze, Chen Shi saw a piece of ...... preserved in the bulletproof glass room Bones?

It may not be accurate to say that it is a corpse, but a strange creature similar to a skeleton, which reminds Chen Shi of the dinosaur fossils in the museum.

The skeleton in front of him now, like a dinosaur fossil, stands in the room, with a skeleton structure that is different from human cognition, the size is much larger than that of humans, about three meters tall, and the bones are thick, and the number of torso bones is also numerous, definitely much more than the 51 torso bones of humans.

It is conceivable that the predecessor of this skeleton alien creature is bound to be quite majestic.

His first thought was, could it be that this skeleton came from a xenomorph creature on the island of Kalimantan?

Suddenly, he thought about it again, no, he had seen all the xenomorph creatures on Kalimantan Island, and the skeleton was not the one he saw now, not to mention, the U.S. military had killed countless xenomorph creatures on Kalimantan Island, and it was estimated that there were living specimens, let alone dead ones, so there was no need to solemnly preserve a skeleton.

Colonel Fred naturally knew that just looking at the skeleton, Chen Shi would not understand why, so he took a step forward and explained: "This skeleton was found in the No. 2 pit......

"You found the space-time portal?"

Chen Shi didn't ask how they got into the pit, but immediately asked the question of the space-time passage.

"You mean wormholes...... We did find wormholes, and out of an abundance of caution, we didn't venture deeper. ”

"Colonel Fred, I remember that we and you have already signed a relevant mutual assistance agreement, and you did not notify us, that is, you sent it to the pothole, and even did not really explain that you have relevant technology before, is this a violation of the agreement signed between you and me?"

Xiao Yang suddenly interjected.

Colonel Fred was silent for a moment, "Regarding this matter, there will be relevant personnel in Washington to explain this, I can't answer your question here, in short, our focus is not on this." After discovering this skeleton, we used means to bring it back, and after relevant analysis, we found that the material composition of this skeleton is quite strong, which is actually an alternative manganese steel alloy material, unlike the bones of living beings...... Of course, what really makes us feel important is that this skeleton may be alive. ”

"Alive?"

Speaking of which, Chen Shi and Xiao Yang looked at each other, this skeleton doesn't look like it's alive, this feeling is like entering a museum, someone points to a dinosaur fossil and says to you, this dinosaur fossil is alive, then it must feel that this person is crazy.

"That's right, it's alive."

Colonel Fred smiled bitterly: "I know it's hard to understand, indeed, this looks like a giant skeleton, if it is said to be alive, I don't want to believe it, the specifics, you have to experience it yourself to know." ”

What about the experience?

The two didn't understand what was going on, but Fred had already reached out and summoned a researcher, and walked inside with Chen Shi and Xiao Yang, and came to the metal door of the isolation room, where the researcher confirmed the iris and opened the door.

After being disinfected, Chen Shi walked in first, followed by Xiao Yang.

Colonel Fred didn't go in, and stood outside waiting.

And with this step, Chen Shi immediately understood why Colonel Fred wanted to say that this skeleton was alive.

It's a rather incomprehensible feeling and experience, and the simplest criterion for judging living creatures and dead creatures is how humans act, and that is whether or not they can do it.

A creature that can move freely must be a living creature. And the immobile creatures are very likely to die.

Naturally, such an intuitive judgment is very inaccurate, because people may also be motionless when they sleep.

Therefore, there are indirect or other ways of judgment, such as testing body temperature, testing breathing, testing brain waves, heartbeat, and so on.

And this is the means by which living things are judged, and if the object is a conceptually dead thing, such as a stone, it is obviously dead without any advanced way of measuring it.

A skeleton that looks like a stone, no matter how strange it is, in the human eye, is very different from the living creature itself, because there is not even the flesh and blood needed for activity, what is not dead?

However, when he walked into the isolation room, Chen Shi immediately had a thought, this skeleton was alive.

Why is that?

It's just unbelievable, it can't be understood by science, it's like a kind of thinking that doesn't exist, being poured into your mind out of thin air, allowing you to "understand" it, a living concept.

The skeleton that was originally thought to be dead, at this moment, seems to be really alive, lifelike, and there is an invisible line of sight looking at it, as if he wants to talk to Chen Shi.

"This ......"

Chen Shi looked at Xiao Yang in shock, he wanted to know from Xiao Yang whether this was his hallucination.

But seeing Xiao Yang's shocked eyes, he understood that Xiao Yang had the same feeling as himself.

"You get it, right?"

Colonel Fred said into the microphone, "I can't describe the feeling in words, but I have to say that it's like facing God, you don't have to talk in mortal language, you understand everything, you know it's alive." ”

"Impossible."

Reason is telling itself that this can't be alive.

But now, it's like looking at a piece of, and reason tells him that this is actually fragrant bread, but it smells and looks like a piece of, and no matter how rational he is, he can't and doesn't dare to taste it.
