Chapter 165: Empty Eggs?

The salvage platform is a temporary frame built in the air, four large propulsion engines like four pillars to support the entire platform, the surrounding strata are very unstable, can not use any cables and other things as a fix, can not be inserted into the rock wall, the event of the volcanic eruption in the sixth area has reminded everyone, people are now more cautious about the safety of drilling, this kind of super drilling through the center of the earth once an accident, the power is not comparable to that year, once it affects the continental plate, It is likely to cause a super earthquake that is difficult to occur in nature.

No matter how familiar they are with the center of the earth, no one dares to guarantee that this will not happen, and all people can do is to be cautious, cautious, and show a spirit of twelve points, and not relax a little.

Mark just came to watch, but he couldn't help but be moved by the surrounding atmosphere, his heart was also hanging on a thread, and all his movements were unconsciously careful.

The appearance of the deep well is different from what Mark thought, Mark originally thought that it would be very bright under the center of the earth, like another sun, but this is not the case, at a glance, there is only a little dark red light at the bottom of the well, and it is not even as bright as the neon searchlight illuminated by the platform, the dark red is surging, and there are black and red patterns floating on the surface, Mark remembered the lines on Jupiter, and there seems to be some kind of connection between these complex lines.

The center of the earth is composed of liquid iron-nickel alloys, and there are also a large number of solid mountains floating in it, these floating bodies are constantly transforming between liquid and solid, and the shape is also unstable, and the entire liquid metal ocean under the center of the earth maintains a dynamic equilibrium. In the process of transporting civilization eggs, the most difficult part is to avoid these floating mountains, as a light touch is enough to disable the probe and lose the ability to continue transporting.

In order to pursue stability, human beings have chosen the most stupid method, constantly sending the detection wave frequency downward, the probe receives a wave frequency to prove that there is no obstruction ahead, then take a step forward, and then stop, waiting for the next command, this is the safest way, but it is indeed surprisingly slow, even so, there are still two almost hit the obstacle, it is not easy to get to this point, only the last step can be completely salvaged out, half because of luck, the other half is the unremitting efforts of all scientific researchers day and night.

"The last kilometer!"

With this roar, the whole plan entered the final step, the probes that had just been launched were connected to each other, forming a large ring of nets, holding up the civilization egg from the bottom, pushing it upwards to push the metal liquid surface, at the same time, the entire platform began to vibrate violently, the dark red below began to expand in Mark's pupils, and the salvage platform was landing downward!

The metal plate at the bottom of the salvage platform is turned up on both sides, and a huge special metal chain is lowered downward, its material is the same as the material of the probe, which is the most heat-resistant material that human beings can make at present, which can resist the high temperature of the center of the earth, and the strength of the material is tougher than the nano metal used to build the space elevator! It will slowly immerse itself in the surface of the earth's core liquid and snap the corresponding structure on the probe, this material will be welded together as long as it is in contact under high temperature and high pressure, as long as the connection is successful, even if the civilized egg hits the floating mountain, it will not be able to break it.

"Five hundred meters! Start connecting! ”

Mark stared intently at the liquid level below, when the platform was lowered to a certain height, it would no longer continue to descend, but the output of the suspension engines on both sides was not lowered, but the noise was louder, and the vibration was greater, it was quickly adjusting the output, and after the civilization egg left the danger area, the platform would quickly increase the altitude and bring it to the research station above, which was an area with a solid geological structure and stable structure, and the task of bringing the civilization egg there was a complete success.

Judging from the size of this platform, these two pairs of engines are obviously too big, they are adjusted to the maximum, and the whole platform is vibrating when they roar to their heart's content, although they know that nothing will happen, but this shaking still makes Mark very uneasy, and there is always a feeling that he will fall down at any time, he remembered the first time he landed on the moon, when his mental activity was also like this, but now it is several times stronger.

"It worked!"

Mark didn't know who shouted, the moment the hook and the probe were connected, the cheers resounded throughout the platform, almost everyone was shouting, and the nerves that were tense to the limit could finally be relaxed, Sun Tan ignored his old bones, and hugged Mark excitedly, soon, this joy will spread throughout the world, human beings have worked hard for fifty years, and it took half of the time given by the alliance, but it was all worth it, we got this egg, and the future was held in our hands!

The isolation door at the edge of the platform began to be lowered, and it was impossible to hold it up with these glasses when it was quickly lifted, Mark was a little puzzled, and he was also very excited, before the isolation door closed, he looked down again, but only saw the huge upper part of the hook.

It took another two hours for the platform to move from the bottom of the drilling to the site, and after the gate opened, everyone rushed out eagerly, wanting to quickly see what the egg looked like, Mark had seen it once in the wheelhouse of the lunar spacecraft, but it didn't dilute his interest, he followed the crowd up the bridge of the site, from the platform to the inside of the site, and the civilized egg that was suspended below was slowly pulled into the site.

However, when the probe that had captured the civilized eggs was brought up, everyone was dumbfounded, and no one knew how to explain all this, under the hook of the probe...... It was empty, nothing, it was like clutching a huge balloon of air.

"This ...... How can it be...... We didn't get anything? Could it be a last-minute drop? Or is there a problem with the capture force field? A senior researcher fell to his knees, clasped his head and shouted, unable to accept what he saw, had all these years of hard work been in vain?

"Nope." Sun Tan walked out of the crowd, the bracer on his hand rang differently, he swept around the underside of the probe, and then touched his chin and said: "We did capture the civilization egg, and the cosmic membrane probe also responded, the size is the same as we predicted, but this one egg ...... It's empty, there's nothing in it. ”

"What ?!!"

Sun Tan's words are the most desperate, if the civilized egg falls, it's a big deal to spend time and salvage again, since you can catch it once, you can catch it a second time, but now this situation is ...... No one knew what to do anymore.
