Chapter 2: Mysterious Events

Previous Chapter

Yu Youcheng, general manager of Tianluo Mining Group, when he saw Wang Jin on the video screen of Silver Tooth Communication for the first time, he didn't know this bald tall guy, let alone thought that for a long time in the future, they would all face all kinds of hardships and challenges together.

At the gate of the command center of the South China Sea Deuterium Gas Exploitation Base of Tianluo Mining, before Yu Youcheng stepped into the door, he received Wang Jin's communication video, after the disappearance of the Longshen research ship, all the silver tooth communications of experts and crew members were controlled by the headquarters command center, and Yu Youcheng connected Professor Li Fangkun's silver tooth communication to his own silver tooth network. The purpose of this is to protect the secrecy of the company to the greatest extent. Wang Jin turned off the contact without speaking, and Yu Youqian had no choice but to give up the in-depth investigation of this person. He walked through the door and went straight to the front of the podium.

The command center hall of several hundred square meters is covered with snow-bright lights on the tall dome. On the wall in front is a huge wide display screen, a row of tables and chairs on the rostrum, facing the display screen, and behind it is a dozen rows of arc-shaped tables and chairs arranged around the rostrum, the table is full of computer keyboards and various communication equipment, and dozens of staff members are busy in their respective positions.

As the world's largest energy development enterprise, Tianluo Mining has more than 300 such large-scale energy development bases around the world, including four rare resource mining bases on the moon and Mars. At the same time, it is also the world's largest technology development enterprise and the world's most powerful technology research and development capabilities. It is no exaggeration to say that the scientific and technological strength and economic strength of Tianluo Mining have surpassed the level of most medium-sized countries in the world. More than 60 percent of the world's high-tech military equipment is developed and manufactured by Tianluo Mining.

Three days ago, Yu Youcheng was still in front of the tallest Buddha statue in Lushan Donglin Temple to participate in the world's largest blessing ceremony. Just a few months ago, scientists accidentally discovered that the Earth's rotation is slowing down rapidly, which sparked a heated discussion on the Internet. Soon there was an apocalyptic legend, the earth's core generator stopped working, the earth's magnetic field was about to disappear, the earth would gradually stop rotating, and the final outcome would be a catastrophe, an unprecedented earthquake and tsunami disaster, which would completely destroy the earth, and human civilization would cease to exist, thus ending.

Rumors of the end of the world intensified, and Yu Youqian saw a huge business opportunity. He organized the world's most authoritative masters of Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity and other religions to preach the apocalypse disaster in various places, and the only choice to avoid the disaster is the "Noah Manor" developed by Tianluo Mining, which uses the world's most cutting-edge silicon atomic composite materials, as well as the latest generation of nuclear fusion artificial sun, which is so small that it is only the size of a rice cooker, which can produce 500 million degrees of high temperature and enough electricity for a medium-sized city. Their "Noah Manor" not only has an ideal home environment, intelligent processing of various daily necessities, but also the latest technology of agricultural planting, poultry breeding, etc., the whole aircraft is a closed all-round ecological circulation system. "Noah's Manor" is also capable of space and underwater diving without landing for up to 50 years.

When Yu Youcheng walked into the hall, he had just forgotten about it. On the huge screen in front, a live connection of the search and rescue scene is being played. On the vast blue sea, treacherous clouds, high winds and waves, the all-round search and rescue ship developed by the Sky Wolf Mining Group is drifting on the sea surface, and the new Sky Wolf biplane helicopter is hovering in the air. The search and rescue personnel at the front kept reporting the progress of the scene, and the four supervisors on the front rostrum presided over the command and coordination of the front scene. Yu Youcheng walked behind the table on the rostrum, and the four supervisors who were busy saw it and immediately stood up and shook hands with him.

"How's it going? What's the progress? Yu Youqian looked extremely nervous.

"Within two hundred kilometers of the accident sea, it is impossible to enter at all, and a serious anomaly has been found there, as if an infinite magic force has appeared that can devour everything."

"How can this be, such a big ship, so many people, say no, there is no more? Even if it evaporates, there should be water vapor left," Yu Youcheng's eyes widened. "What about our underground radar? What about our observation satellites? ”

"All the detection methods have been tried, but they can't be contacted, and the Ryujin research ship is also equipped with the most advanced quantum communication equipment, but it can't get any communication information." The young supervisor pointed to the big screen, "There is only one live video shot by satellite, and we can't understand it." ”

The supervisor clicked on the keyboard, and a high-altitude aerial video immediately appeared on the big screen. Dark clouds were thick, lightning and thunder roared, monstrous waves crashed into the sky, and the flying lightning silver snake kept throwing long chains of fire, as if to split the surging sea. With a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, the Ryujin research ship is like a leaf drifting in the sea with huge waves rolling.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning slashed open the sealed hatch of the ship, and the flames soared into the air, from a blood-red fireball the size of a football, to a huge wheel that circled in the air, and countless blood-red flames swirled around it, spinning rapidly. The earth disappeared in an instant, and a strong light erupted from the depths of the seabed, and the boundless blood-red light stained everything in the heavens and the earth. All the panicked people on the ship Ryujin and the bridge and deck disappeared in an instant, and there was no trace of it. Where the earth disappeared, a huge whirlpool of incomparably wide expanses appeared. The huge waves gradually stopped, and the deep whirlpool spun at a rapid speed on the surface of the sea, forming a huge and terrifying sea eye.

"This thing is really mysterious, and it is not the energy of the future world." Yu Youqian calmed down a little.

Yu Youcheng grabbed a pencil on the table, held it in his hand like a cigarette, and turned different patterns from time to time, walking back and forth behind the chair. This is a habitual action of his, many people have long been familiar with it, and those who are familiar with him certainly know that it is often at this time when he is most anxious and helpless in his heart. All the colleagues around him had already held their breath at this time, and they didn't dare to take a breath more, and the sound of tapping on the keyboard became very careful.

"Mr. Yu, there is also a satellite video, which is the video of the rescue ship we arrived first three hours after the incident, I think you should watch it."

Yu Youcheng glanced at the other supervisor and motioned for him to play the video. On the large screen, a real-time picture of the accident area immediately appeared. The rescue ship sailed rapidly, and the rescue helicopter patrolled ahead. The voiceover is a communication recording of the crew's real-time briefing. This video is supposed to have been recorded by satellite and then synthesized into audio recordings.

"There are still 200 kilometers to the target sea area...... The speed of the ship suddenly increased...... The top speed of 50 knots has been exceeded...... Still accelerating...... Command Center ...... We have discovered that there is a mysterious power that is rapidly devouring the ship, it has become extremely powerful, and it is getting stronger and stronger, what to do, please instruct ......"

The Tiangang returned immediately...... Get out of there...... The Ryujin is missing, get out of there......"

"Command Center...... The power system is difficult to maintain, and I'm afraid I'm going to be sucked in......"

The rescue ship sailed fast on the sea, the speed became slower and slower, the helicopter was jolting in the air in front of it, and quickly fell to the deck of the rescue ship, the speed of the rescue ship became slower and slower, and finally turned around, turned a big corner, and left the sea area with powerful magic, and the speed became faster and faster.

"What the hell is going on? Did you find out why? Yu Youqian was surprised.

"The cause of the accident is still under investigation, according to the information we have, this sea area is the famous South China Sea Devil's Triangle in history, from 1979 to the present, there have been more than 200 cases of missing cargo ships and planes in this sea area, each disaster not only came suddenly, but also did not leave any traces and clues about the missing cargo ship and crew afterwards."

"The Devil's Triangle? Becoming more and more mysterious? ”

"According to historical records, this sea area stretches from Hong Kong in the west, Taiwan in the east, and the Philippines in the south, and is a triangular sea area that looks peaceful and serene, but it is known as the same devil's triangle as the Bermuda Triangle. In this sea area, there have been many sporadic ship wrecks and deaths in history, but none of them have attracted public attention.

"It really began to become famous, because from May 1979 to February 1980, in a period of 10 months, there were three cases of missing cargo ships here, each disaster not only came suddenly, but also did not leave any traces and clues about the missing cargo ship and the crew afterwards, once the relevant departments received an emergency distress signal from the crew, but the signal was quickly interrupted, and the most trembling thing was that when the rescuers arrived, the sea was calm, empty, and frighteningly calm, It was as if nothing had happened. ”

While the young supervisor was talking, he glanced at Yu Youcheng, and found that Yu Youcheng was inadvertently fiddling with the pencil in his hand, listening to his introduction, and then continued.

"One of the more famous incidents, in May 1979, the Philippine freighter Sea Pine was sailing in the South China Sea, the sky was cloudless, the sea level was like a mirror, and everything was normal. At this moment, the radio control room of the coast guard in Manila's South Port suddenly received an emergency signal that the Sea Pine was in distress in the waters south of Taiwan and north of Luzon Island, and then lost contact. After the incident, the relevant parties carried out large-scale rescue and search operations, but to no avail. The thousand-ton Sea Pines and 25 Filipino and Japanese crew members disappeared without a trace.

"And on December 16, 1979, in the same sea area where the Sea Pine disappeared, the cargo ship Anji Lingming, which sailed from Manila in the Philippines to Taiwan, also disappeared magically. On February 16, 1980, disaster struck the modified vessel Oriental Minnecol of Eastern Shipping Company. When the ship was sailing between Hong Kong and Manila, the communication control room of the Manila office of the Eastern Shipping Company lost contact after receiving a distress signal from the 1,251-ton cargo ship with more advanced facilities.

As a result, the Devil's Triangle of the South China Sea has attracted the attention of the world. In the decades that followed, there were frequent disappearances of ships and planes, and all of these catastrophic events had the same three characteristics: one was that the incident happened suddenly without any warning, the second was the missing ship or plane, leaving no trace, and the third was that the crew and livestock were nowhere to be found. ”

"You're saying that all the accidents that happen here are caused by the same cause?"

"This can't be determined, but there are exceptions, in 2021, Malaysia Airlines flight 372 to Tokyo, an accident occurred in this sea area, the plane suddenly disappeared, more than 200 passengers were not heard, not even a distress signal was issued, the report information before the disappearance was still normal, after the incident, the relevant countries launched a comprehensive search and rescue work, almost all the islands near the South China Sea were searched, and the seabed search did not leave a dead end, and even a piece of debris was found.

A year later, the plane appeared on a desert island outside the nine-dash line in the South China Sea, except for the serious damage to the plane, none of the passengers on board were injured. There is also the 2031 Regal Yacht Incident, four months after the yacht disappeared, it unexpectedly appeared in the waters of Nansha, and the yacht and passengers did not change, as if nothing had happened. ”

"Is there any difference between the two disappearances that have occurred in a row and the accidents that have occurred in history?"

"Yes, Mr. Yu, I briefly summarized it, first of all, the time is different, all the disappearances in history have no continuity characteristics, and the time before and after is very far apart, generally in a few years or more than ten years, and the shortest should be a few months, but there are only one or two such events.

"The second is the location, all the events in history happened because the ship or plane entered the center of the Devil's Triangle, and this time the Ryujin scientific research ship is sailing normally along the internationally accepted safe waterway, more than 300 kilometers away from the center of the Devil's Triangle, it appeared in the Devil's Region in an instant, such a large distance of location transfer, can only belong to some kind of mysterious supernatural power, manpower is really unimaginable, such a thing has never happened in history.

"There is also the result, after the disappearance of the Dragon God, there was a huge submarine whirlpool in the accident area, and the rescue ship that came three hours later should have encountered the mysterious power of the submarine whirlpool, and the two ships had different encounters, I think their reasons may be different, at least the encounter of the rescue ship has a great relationship with the submarine whirlpool, and the disappearance of the Dragon God is also different from the disappearance in history, maybe it is two different mysterious supernatural powers, However, the Ryujin was obviously affected by the superpower of the soil loaded on the ship, so there was a long-distance position shift and the appearance of submarine whirlpools. ”

"I've heard about it, but I just don't know what kind of mysterious weirdness this relam is?"

"Mr. Yu, after receiving the search and rescue mission, we retrieved the relevant information left by Professor Li Fangkun and his scientific research team, according to the introduction of these materials, the soil is a kind of sacred object in ancient Chinese legends, and the so-called soil is the soil that can grow automatically. If the dam is built with soil, the flood water will grow by one meter, and the dam will automatically grow by one meter. ”

"It's the myth and legend of Dayu's water control, right? Chinese know it. ”

"Actually, Mr. Yu, now a lot of ancient Chinese culture is already known to the people of the earth, and the whole world is studying Chinese traditional culture, let's just say that this soil is the earliest from a story of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", Guo Pu's annotated "The Book of the Sea" has a soil that has a soil that grows infinitely, so it can be flooded, that is to say, the soil is a kind of soil that can grow and expand on its own. Therefore, there is also an explanation in modern Chinese, Xi is the meaning of growth, and Xi soil refers to the soil that can grow on its own.

But in modern times, scientists began to discover that many historical legends in ancient China are living real historical events, they found this rare energy substance in space, conducted long-term follow-up research, and found that this mysterious substance actually conforms to the characteristics of the Chinese myths and legends, and it is also a scarce substance in space, its own powerful energy, as long as a little, can solve the long-term energy needs, because it grows endlessly, can be described as a development, forever used, As a result, it has become the energy of the future that countries are scrambling to grab. ”

The young supervisor next to him turned to Yu Youcheng, "Mr. Yu, has the connection of Deputy General Manager Chen over there in Donglin Temple been connected?" ”

Yu Youcheng nodded to the supervisor, the young supervisor immediately connected the line, and the big screen in front of him appeared The picture of Deputy General Manager Chen, who was responsible for continuing to preside over the work in Donglin Temple, stood on the flowery square, "I can't imagine that, Mr. Yu, this time it can be a big deal, more than 100 ships were booked in three hours, all of them are one-time payments, especially those oil tyrants in the Middle East, they are so rich, a family wants a Noah Manor, and it is all the largest model, they are asking, can they drive Noah Manor in the future, Go to our moon base and Mars base to visit? ”

"Of course you can, you tell them that outer space is no more powerful than the inside of the atmosphere, there are meteorite impacts, gravitational tide impacts, cosmic radiation attacks, and more powerful solar storms, our silicon atom composite materials, even if they resist hundreds of millions of degrees of heat, but they will also steam people from the inside, so unless our company is organized in a unified manner, it is still safe to stay in the atmosphere."

"Okay, then I'll answer them like this, and see what they have to say." Vice President Chen smiled and disappeared into the picture.

Yu Youcheng turned around and glanced at the young supervisor beside him, "I just said Xi Yang, you go on." ”

"Yes, Mr. Yu, what I want to report to you next is the whereabouts of the soil, we are in the sea area where the incident occurred, through satellite radar detection, found that there is a huge sinkhole under the submarine whirlpool, the diameter is only a few tens of meters, the depth is difficult to determine, at least more than 10,000 meters, the strong radiation of the soil is detected below, and the weak signal of the missing Ryujin research ship, intermittently, it can be concluded that our missing ships and personnel are in an unknown mysterious space below......"
