Facing Ren Hong's curious question, Professor Liang smiled: "It's just exaggerated by the outside world, a lizard six or seven meters long? Where do you get your food from? The Lop Nur area is so desolate, but the nuclear explosion does exist, and it is just a coincidence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The team continued to move forward, Ren Hong looked at the waves in the water, and said, "With such a huge body size, you have to consume at least 2,500 calories a day, how can these big guys survive?" Desert areas should not have such a large number of animals, even if they are exposed to nuclear radiation, they will soon become extinct. ”

"These mutant desert lizards have become omnivores, like rats, and eat almost everything, of course, they are most fond of meat, and most of the time they eat the rhizomes of vegetation, which is quite drought-tolerant in this area. At night, they go out to forage for food, catching another species of lizard for food. Professor Leung said:

"The genetic mutation makes them very peculiar in their way of predation, which can be said to be a very unique predation method among lizards, they emit a smell that attracts other carnivores to mistake them for prey, and when they enter the trap, the animal basically becomes their meal."

"You're wrong about something, Mr. Ren." Professor Leung added: "Despite their size, they can go without food for a week at a time, and their average lifespan is only 5 to 8 years, which is probably the shortest-lived species of lizards, and the reason for this is that the aberration of nuclear radiation accelerates its cell division, which is why it is so large, before it was exposed to nuclear radiation, the size of this species was only about 60 centimeters, and now it is 3 meters long." They like to eat carrion, and they will eat their dead kind, which is a recent finding. ”

Ren Hong looked around the underground lake, looked up at the dome of the lake, and muttered: "I'm more worried that these animals are burrowing everywhere around, will this place be in danger of collapsing, especially since there was a blast some time ago." ”

"There is no risk in field surveys." Professor Liang said with a smile.

Finally, the team walked underground for more than ten minutes, rounded a few corners and reached the destination, and the lights could only be connected here, but there was obviously a deeper area ahead, but Ren Hong was quickly attracted by an object on the ground, which was emitting a dazzling purple halo.

This scene could not be ignored at all in the dark underground space, Ren Hong immediately came to the place where the purple source crystal was, Professor Liang and several other scholars also came here, around the spar, the escort team immediately opened the formation, and there can be a mutated man-eating lizard here.

Professor Liang, who was half-crouching next to him, said: "It is embedded inside, and the outside is wrapped in transparent material, and its hardness is more than 180 times that of diamond. ”

Hearing this, Ren Hong raised his head and looked at Professor Liang, who looked at the other party with a slightly excited look, and he did not back down in the face of Ren Hong's gaze, adding: "We originally wanted to use the plasma cutting wire to break it, but the brightness level of the amethy source crystal inside shows that it stores a huge amount of energy, at least 5,000 trillion joules. We don't know much about the purple source crystal, and we are afraid of detonating the energy inside, and God knows if there are other spar blocks in other places here, so we invite you, the great god, to come. This is clearly embedded by human means, and should be some kind of unknown device. ”

Ren Hong was silent, observing slightly, he suddenly climbed down and looked at the transparent material, saw a slight bulge, and thought in his heart, after a while, he stared at the spar and the transparent material, and said at the same time: "Give me a mini shovel." ”

A soldier happened to have this set of tools on him, and he immediately unloaded it and handed it to Ren Hong.

"What are you going to do?" Professor Liang asked.

"I think it's like a beacon post!" Ren Hong said, while carefully digging the soil around, the soil here has a large moisture content, and it is easy to dig.

Sure enough, as Ren Hong continued to excavate, soon exposed a transparent object like a crystal column, the pillar has six planar bodies, the cross-section should be an equal hexagon, Ren Hong excavated about 45 centimeters deep, but obviously not to the end, and as the digging deeper, the cross-section of the cylinder is slowly expanding.

After about ten minutes, Ren Hong stopped digging, and everyone looked at it curiously, the piece of purple source crystal embedded in the top was about the size of four fists, and it emitted a purple halo to show that there was a good amount of high-purity energy stored inside.

"What does this do?" Professor Lian asked.

"You have to ask the founder of this civilization." Ren Hong said humorously and smiled. His eyes looked around in the limited light, and suddenly, he was stunned, and quickly turned to look back at the curved route behind him, and the change in his face was noticed by Professor Liang, "What's wrong?" Mr. Ren. ”

Ren Hong raised his hand and motioned for him not to speak, obviously, he was thinking. Everyone was silent, and Professor Liang didn't care about his actions, and even looked forward to it like everyone else, obviously something new had touched him.

At this moment, Ren Hong's mind was recalling the branch structure of the route he had just walked through, and he suddenly turned to look at Professor Liang and the others, and said, "Have you noticed that the route of our route is a little unusual?" ”

Unusual? Professor Liang and the others looked at him suspiciously, what was unusual about this? Ren Hong pointed to the rock wall and said, "Have you seen these branch structures, the angles of bends and turns?" ”

After a while, a scholar came to a corner, he stretched out his thumb and index finger at a vertical 90 degrees, and the index finger was relatively level with one side of the corner, and he measured it at several corners and came up with an astonishing result: "It's all in the range of 30 and 45 degrees, with regularity!" ”

"Obviously, it's not natural." Ren Hong looked at the scholars and said, "Imagine in your mind, what kind of picture it will be like if you look down vertically? ”

Professor Liang and the others were silent, obviously thinking and imagining according to Ren Hong's description, and after a while, they came to an astonishing conclusion, Professor Liang looked at Ren Hong in disbelief, "You mean, there is a cave inside the rock wall?" ”

Ren Hong nodded slightly, staring at the hexagonal cylinder with a bare corner and embedded with purple source crystal, "Not surprisingly, this should be just the tip of the iceberg." He looked around and added, "There should be a big, big man-made production here, it could be a laboratory, a base, or even a flying machine, whatever it is, there must be a man-made building buried in it." ”
