Chapter 110: Collective Wisdom
Although the Desperate Virus and Spider-Man's appearance are just unexpected episodes, Qiao Lu feels a little anxious about it.
Although from the timeline, it is true that the technology of the Desperate Virus is not yet fully mature, and Spider-Man is still the young man who came out in one-piece pajamas.
None of their stories have officially begun, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But these key characters have all been met by himself, and Qiao Lu has to worry about whether this butterfly effect will be further expanded, leading to the follow-up plot in a direction that he completely could not predict.
But there's no point in worrying, because the biggest butterfly effect has already happened from the beginning.
The next thing Qiao Lu was going to see was the air base where the newspaper said that a nuclear accident had erupted.
It's the place where the whole Avengers story begins, and it's worth a field trip to find some useful clues.
As reported in the news, this place has been completely blocked by the army at this time, and the scope of the blockade is quite large, not only the original military restricted area, but even a large circle of places outside the military restricted area has been cordoned off, prohibiting any unrelated people from entering or leaving.
But such a blockade can only block ordinary people, and for those who have a heart, they can always find a way to get in.
Qiao Lu and Liu Peiqiang found a weak point in the blockade line, and used the tools equipped on the armor to cross the blockade line and enter the area where the nuclear leakage accident was said to have occurred.
After passing through the blockade, the two dodged several patrol squads, and finally came to the middle of the blockade area, where they saw with their own eyes the real reason why this place would be blocked.
It was a huge area of ground collapse, and the whole ground was concave into a large area like a two-way foil, leaving behind a spectacular underground cavity, and it was pitch black that I didn't know how deep it was.
Even the legendary Tunguska explosion would not have left such a spectacular underground cavity.
A large swath of buildings was engulfed in this black hole-like abyss, even the huge airport.
Only the military base sign in the distance can tell that it was once an air base, and everything else has been swallowed up by the abyss.
"We should really let our scientists see what's going on here." Liu Peiqiang proposed.
Even if he is not a professional scientist, he can see at a glance that the accident here is unusual, and it is definitely not an ordinary nuclear accident that can be explained.
Perhaps this is the key clue to the energy source that the Wandering Earth is looking for.
Qiao Lu was also pleased with Liu Peiqiang's intuitive acuity, and indeed this was the place where the Cosmic Cube left its last clue.
As long as the situation here is filmed and passed back, scientists will naturally analyze what kind of accident it is.
"Let me do it."
Wearing the falcon battle armor, Qiao Lu jumped into this bottomless underground cavern, and continued to fall for more than ten seconds before finally reaching the bottom of the cave.
It is not accurate to say that it is the bottom, but it is actually the ruins formed by the collapsed stones, which are piled up to a height of more than 30 meters, and the original things of this air base have been submerged in layers of stones.
At Qiao Lu's feet is the underground laboratory where the Cosmic Cube was once studied, and of course, the entire experiment has now become part of this ruin.
If Qiao Lu was alone, he wouldn't have gotten any clues here.
But that doesn't mean that others on the wandering earth can't do it!
"Connect to the Central Academy of Sciences, turn on all the sensors, and upload all the collected video and data back. I need to get all the clues about the accident here in the shortest possible time! ”
With Qiao Lu's order, all the detection instruments on the armor were activated at the same time, and the images and data were uploaded back to the Ark in real time, and then sent back to the Central Academy of Sciences on the wandering earth.
After receiving these images and data, scientists from all over the world immediately began data analysis work, comprehensively analyzing the causes and characteristics of the accident, as well as the clues behind it.
Scientists first ruled out the possibility of a nuclear reaction or an antimatter explosion, because the heat generated by these two explosions would not have left such a large area of ruins uncharred or melted.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it was like a "cold explosion" that only had the spread of the shock wave but did not produce a high-temperature fireball, which is unimaginable for any chemical reaction to produce an explosion.
Therefore, scientists soon realized that this was an explosion produced by a pure energy body, and the energy source that could cause an explosion of this scale must be the key to allowing the wandering earth to travel to the next world!
Ding Yi, as a representative of these scientists, said to Qiao Lu:
"Director Qiao Lu, it seems that you have found the right place. There was a large-scale energy explosion here not long ago, and the energy source that caused this explosion is what we need to look for at the moment. ”
Of course, Qiao Lu knew that the Rubik's Cube of the universe was what he was looking for, and what he wanted to know was another thing:
"Is there a way to trace the source of the energy that caused this accident?"
Ding Yi replied: "Villad, a scientist from France, has discovered that there is a stable unidentified data variation in the gamma ray readings at the accident site where you are now, and perhaps we can determine the location of the energy source by the rate of change of the gamma rays, but this will take a certain amount of time." ”
It's admirable to be able to find a way to lock the location of the Cosmic Cube so quickly.
This is collective wisdom!
Qiao Lu also did this to have an extra layer of insurance, and the prophetic prescience of the traverser was not absolutely correct, and a little butterfly effect could cause the whole plot to become completely different.
With such a layer of insurance, even if the Cosmic Cube does not appear in New York in the end due to various variables, they can still have a way to lock the position of the Cosmic Cube again.
With so many people's lives at stake, Qiao Lu had to consider one or two backup plans.
Consider that the worst-case scenario is that even if you die, the rest of the wandering earth will know what to do next.
"Then hurry up and do it, if there are other clues, I will upload them to you immediately."
Qiao Lu was quite satisfied with the results of the investigation of the accident site.
This not only let other people on the wandering earth know about the existence of the powerful energy source of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, but also allowed them to analyze the method of determining the location of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
The Ark has already begun scanning Marvel's Earth for gamma rays, and based on the gamma ray anomaly readings at the scene of this accident, it may be possible to find the location of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Of course, this alone will still be time-consuming, and Qiao Lu needs to find more clues, such as the experiment report of S.H.I.E.L.D. to study the Cosmic Cube in the past, or the Loki Scepter with the same energy characteristics as the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
So the next goal is S.H.I.E.L.D.!
