Although the Wandering Earth's plan to use the planetary engine as a mobile fortress to counterattack the pioneer civilization has been formulated, there is still a big problem that has not yet been solved, that is, how to make the planetary engine tens of thousands of meters high pass through such a narrow sea bottom wormhole in the Pacific Ocean?

If this problem cannot be solved, then the planetary engine can only be used as a defensive weapon, and will not play a huge role in counter-attacking the pioneer civilization.

Finding the answer to this question is the responsibility of Qiao Lu and the Wandering Earth Investigation Team.

And in this matter, Qiao Lu also has a clue.

If the person who knows monsters best in this Pacific Rim world is Dr. Newton, who dares to try to make a neurosympathetic connection with the monster's brain, then the person who knows the wormhole best is none other than Dr. Herman, who is with him on the fortifications of the Shattered Dome.

Dr. Herman's job is to study the cycle and frequency of wormholes, and to build mathematical patterns to predict the timing and number of subsequent waves of monsters.

When the wormhole will be opened, how long it will be open, and how many monsters it can pass through are all within the scope of his calculations.

Therefore, if you want to find a time and way to allow the entire planetary engine to pass through the wormhole, his research can undoubtedly provide great help.

This is another reason why Qiao Lu is trying to infiltrate this Broken Dome base, whether it is his or Dr. Newton's research, it will be very useful for the next operation of the Wandering Earth.

And the knowledge in their heads is not something that can be known through hacking.

After successfully passing the selection to become a MechHunter pilot, Jolu had a valid reason to visit Dr. Herman and Dr. Newton.

As candidates for the next Wormhole Bombing Mission, they have a right to know the cause and effect of this mission, and this requires asking Herman and Newton a lot about the Pioneer Civilization.

The two of them's studio was located in a corner of the Shattered Dome base, and as an underground rebel army, Pantcoster naturally couldn't provide them with a good working environment, and even had to share a room for the two of them to work.

On one side of the studio is Dr. Herman's large chalkboard, which needs to be climbed up and down with a ladder to have enough space to write a calculation.

On the other side is Dr. Newton's anatomy lab, filled with monster organs and surgical equipment, and every now and then some intestines fall to the floor.

One of them had to endure the nervous whispers of the other during the calculations, while the other had to endure the strong smell of formalin and the bloody horrors of the dissection.

As a result, they both look at each other unpleasantly at first, and when one party conducts research or explanation, the other side will always sneer on the side.

In fact, both of them were right, and Qiao Lu also needed to get key information about the pioneer civilization from them.

Dr. Herman is a standard engineering man in a suit and leather shoes, holding a small cane, who looks a little nervous, like a paranoid.

When Qiao Lu came to him, he was still writing mathematical formulas on the blackboard by himself, and kept muttering to himself:

"Zero minus two······ XY minus two ······ 42！ ”

Dr. Newton on the side was dressed in a messy white shirt and a slightly crooked tie, dressed as a bohemian geek.

He seemed to have long been accustomed to Herman's nervous self-talk from time to time, and said to Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang, who came to ask for advice:

"If you're looking for Herman, just wait, he'll need a while to come back to his senses."

After saying that, he continued to be busy dissecting the monster corpse, ignoring Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang.

These two guys are simply half-hearted, and they are both types who can't listen to people.

Maybe this is the so-called genius is a bit abnormal.

A few minutes later, Herman finished the calculation on the blackboard, and suddenly said to himself excitedly:

"In the beginning, the interval between monster attacks was twenty-four, then it was shortened to twelve, six, two weeks, and the last Sydney attack was only one week apart. And after four days, we'd see a monster every eight hours, until they showed up every four minutes······ Wait, who are you? ”

Only then did he notice the existence of Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang, who were still complete faces in this base.

"We're the new drivers of Storm Crimson." Liu Peiqiang introduced himself, "I want to come over and ask Dr. Herman what is going on with the frequency of monster attacks and the opening cycle of wormholes." ”

When it comes to his research, Dr. Herman immediately goes on and on:

"As I said earlier, the frequency of monsters will increase, and in seven days we will have a double attack, and then, after a while, it will become four, eight, sixteen, and finally all of humanity will be destroyed."

Qiao Lu interjected, "In other words, this wormhole opens up regularly, and it will get bigger and bigger until there are enough monsters to destroy all of humanity. ”

Herman excitedly said, "Yes, but it also brings good news. ”

He walked over to the table next to him and used holographic projection to draw two planes, then drew an esophagus-like structure between the two planes, connecting the two planes.

"This is the wormhole we call 'The Throat', which directly connects our world to the world of monsters. I speculate that the increasing throughput will force the wormhole structure to stabilize and remain open enough for a nuke to blow it up from within. ”

In his demonstration, the nuclear bomb is like a candy that slides into the esophagus-like wormhole from above, exploding at its narrowest throat, thus destroying the entire wormhole.

This is what Pantcoster wants to achieve, using a nuclear bomb to blow up the wormhole to keep out the monster invasion.

However, this result was not what Qiao Lu wanted, and he further asked, "If the amount of passage through this wormhole is constantly growing, then is it possible to pass something bigger through the wormhole, not just a nuclear bomb?" ”

Qiao Lu considered the usefulness for a moment, and said in the most serious tone possible:

"Like, when will it expand enough for something as big as Mount Everest to pass through?"

Dr. Newton laughed and said, "Then you must swallow your throat, how can we throw Mount Everest into it?" ”

"Hypothetical, I mean hypothetical."

Qiao Lu said with some humility, but in fact, this is not necessary at all, because if you tell these two doctors that there are industrial wonders in the world that are higher than Mount Everest, they will only think that Qiao Lu is joking.

How could there be such a thing in the world? Herman and Newton couldn't have imagined it!
