Chapter 103: Forcible Detection (I)
The purpose of Duanqing's visit was to prevent the ship from being blown up. So as soon as she came in, she directly told everything to her, lest we, who had mastered nuclear weapons, directly drop bombs.
In Duanqing's opinion, if he really threw it away, it would be a big loss. It's gone!
It's 10,000 times worse than when my sister blew up Biosphere 3!
She didn't know that Xu Liang was more of a bluff and seized control with the threat of "blowing up the ship".
It's called a bombing ship, but it's actually stealing a ship.
A middle-level officer may have the idea of exploding, or he may have it. However, if it is blown up, it will be blown up, and there is actually no real benefit except to vent anger. But if you steal it, it's different.
It has most of the remaining wealth of all mankind.
If you can steal it......
The richest man in the world?
No, no, no, there is no point in putting money in the end times, only materials make sense, so big ships are the only wealth.
This is undoubtedly the biggest deal Xu Liang has to do since he entered the industry.
Of course, whether it can be made or not is two words. It depends on whether Sister Duanqing's attitude is tough, what kind of government is on the big ship, and whether nuclear deterrence can really work...... All in all, take it one step at a time.
But it doesn't seem to be a few days away.
Counting the days of the voyage, the final tsunami should be within three days.
So, if we take a long-term view, the real difficulties actually came after the tsunami. is what Duan Qing said, the civilization hidden at the bottom of the sea.
If this civilization really exists, as Duanqing said, it is much more developed than us, and the energy it controls is six or seven orders of magnitude more than ours, then the rest of the matter is the real trouble.
But before that, Xu Liang believes that the first thing to do is to confirm that this civilization really exists, not what Duanqing fantasized about.
There is no doubt that seeing is believing is more reliable than hearsay.
After a short silence, Sister Duanhan, who was standing next to her, first asked this question: "Have you made a detailed deduction for the scientific verification of the existence of underwater civilizations?" What about the experimental data? What about the feedback data? ”
Duan Han continued: "Based on the strong contrast of the orders of magnitude of energy that can be mastered, it makes sense to judge that this is the existence of another civilization, but it is not a conclusive evidence. ”
Duan Han looked at her sister after speaking.
Xu nodded, and then he repeated the question in a more understandable way:
"This undersea civilization...... Have you seen it? ”
The word "see" is more straightforward than looking at the formula to talk about evidence. If you have seen it, you have seen it, and if you have not seen it, you have not seen it.
"Actually, if possible. I wish I never saw each other. ”
Duan Qing said this meaningfully.
Then, she pulled out a tablet from her bag and lit it. This is very similar to her sister Duanqing, who carries all kinds of equipment with her. She said: "If you doubt that this civilization does not exist, then you might as well watch a video first." ”
"This video is a collection of footage. In the past ten years, we have put down countless scientific research and exploration equipment on the seabed, and a very limited number of equipment that can return data have been sent back. The damage rate of scientific research and detection equipment is more than 99.7%. This video is the image sent back by the remaining 0.3% of the devices. ”
"You might be wondering what happened to those other devices and why they were damaged."
"You may also wonder what the bottom of the sea looks like now."
"Let's watch the film." She said, "It's all in the film." ”
After uploading the video image to the large screen in the command room, everyone can see it clearly from the large screen on the wall.
The first thing that catches your eye is not the landscape, but the obsolete scientific equipment.
A wide range of detection instruments.
There are a variety of variety, various shapes and various uses, no less than dozens or hundreds of pieces. These devices and instruments are discarded haphazardly, but they have one thing in common.
It's all damaged.
And the damage is very bad, so many instruments are piled up together, like a mountain of garbage around a megacity.
The footage in the video is changing, and the close-ups of the instruments are constantly being given.
The way they are damaged is also very consistent:
Blackened, softened, smelly.
Eventually, it turned into a mass of stuff that couldn't tell what it was, and it was piled up here.
Immediately afterward, the picture is split in two, with the junk instruments occupying the left and the image on the right showing the previous form of the instruments in good condition. In the image on the right, each instrument exudes a shiny metallic sheen, with an intricate and intricate structure that is as delicate as a new Apple product.
The two images are played together and presented on the big screen, giving people a particularly striking feeling and strong contrast.
Duan Qing made a brief explanation on the side: "These instruments are used to detect various physical data such as temperature, pressure, pH, and negative altitude of seawater; biological environment, ecological chain, geothermal and other living environments; and detection devices that upload images and videos directly. ”
"All of them can adapt to the low temperatures and ultra-high pressures of the deep sea. And a lot of it was designed by me to find out what's going on beneath the ocean. ”
"In layman's terms, these instruments are very durable."
"But when we put these instruments down and put them back up, we saw this piece, no, this piece of stuff."
Duanqing's tone was full of regret. Xu Liang remembered that in the information he had given before, it was indeed mentioned that most of the scientific research instruments had failed, but he didn't expect that it was such a simple, crude and direct failure.
"These instruments are all metal! It is a high-strength engineered alloy. But it's all like this. Duan Qing said, "There is only one reason. ”
"Corrosion."
"The black stuff you see on it, it's actually the corpses left behind by dead colonies."
"Also, the highly corrosive slime emitted by these bacteria before they die can easily corrode the slime of metal instruments."
"It's this slime that corrodes metal."
"Mucus that is countless times more corrosive than the concentrated sulfuric acid, cyanide, and various strong organic solvents we usually say."
"Frankly, what these bacteria are, I don't know."
"I don't know what these bacterial secretions are."
"All I know is that these scientific instruments, which used to be very strong and durable, melt like cakes when faced with these bacteria and slime, and then rot and stink."
"I used to think I knew a little bit about the planet we live in, but now I'm realizing." "I don't know anything," she said. ”
"These bacteria do not correspond to any species known on Earth."
"They have very different cell structures, very different genetic profiles. These bacteria seem to be specially created to secrete mucus, like the mucus production plant, and these mucus corrodes almost all of our scientific research equipment to shreds. ”
"I don't know where these sudden bacteria came from, I don't know why they appeared."
"But I know that under the sea, under any part of the ocean, including the shallowest and deepest...... Everywhere, underneath that, there is something unknown. ”
"Fortunately, these bacteria become inactive when they come to shallow waters and low-pressure environments. Or we might have to worry about a super plague? ”
Everyone looked at the big screen and was silent.
Today, with the development of technology, our telescopes can see 10 billion light-years away, but it is really ironic that there are still unknown things in our own homes. It has been said that we don't know as much about the starry sky 100,000 light-years below the Earth's crust as we do about the starry sky 100,000 light-years away.
Xu Liang was the first to react:
"You said that most of the instruments have failed and been destroyed, but what about the 0.3% of the instruments?"
Duan Qing nodded: "There are indeed some effective." ”
"After countless experiments, I finally gave up on the first detection idea and switched to the second, which is the only role played by the remaining 0.3% of the instruments." She explains, "I just throw it away, I don't recycle it. ”
"I thickened the housings of those instruments to increase the corrosion resistance, and then took advantage of this short working time to dive as deep as I could, and then sent back as much data as I could. True, I completely abandoned the idea of recycling the instrument. ”
"Using this most wasteful method of detection, I was able to find out the real data on the seabed, as well as some ...... Extremely valuable, video material. ”
Speaking of which, Duan Qing pressed the button to continue playing the video.
