Chapter 354: Flame Giant Worm of Unknown Origin (2)
Humans have been able to land on the moon, they have been able to land on Mars, they have been able to study the development of galaxies hundreds of millions of light-years away, but they know very little about the depths of the earth beneath their feet. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info simple drilling and even tunneling, what can be learned is extremely limited. The appearance of the Awakened can be said to have opened a new chapter for mankind to study the mysteries of the depths of the earth.
The target of the expedition team followed by Luo Tian this time was the fossil resources of ancient organisms five kilometers underground, and some ancient microbial fossils that existed at that level had extremely high scientific research value. Normally, a sample of this depth would have required a huge drilling rig, but that's no different now.
However, even Zhang Xiong and Zhao Gang still can't directly reach the depth of five kilometers underground, but if they use the relay method, it is still very easy. Every other kilometer, a temporary research site is constructed by manipulating earth and rock. The size doesn't need to be too big, it's enough to arrange some small equipment.
As for the reason why Luo Tian was able to join this team, the other party took a fancy to Luo Tian's telekinetic enhancement ability. Ordinary soil and stone have been strengthened by Luo Tian's telekinesis, and their quality is comparable to that of special building materials. The addition of Luo Tian can greatly reduce the materials required for exploration and shorten the time of exploration.
After arriving at the intended detection site, without any delay, Zhang Xiong and Zhao Gang began their performance. Zhao Gang explored the route and avoided the complex geological environment, while Zhang Xiong manipulated the earth and rocks to form a "submarine", and began to build a passage underground with another awakened person named Wang Rui.
The progress of the project can be said to be very fast, and in the later stage, Zhang Xiong led Luo Tian to escape underground and enter the research site that had been opened up. Under Luo Tian's strengthened telekinesis, the research point of the original native stone wall has turned into a silver-white wall similar to metal, and even makes a metallic sound when knocked on it with his hand.
Zhang Xiong's earth-and-rock "submarine" is like a lift, constantly transporting people and materials to the research site below. These supplies are mainly research observation equipment and life support equipment. The temperature and oxygen concentration of 5,000 meters underground are not something that ordinary people can bear, and some ordinary researchers can only wear heavy protective clothing to avoid the harsh underground environment.
Zhang Xiong They don't care, they are like fish in water in the soil, and the general negative effects will be directly borne by the power of the earth. As long as their physical strength is not exhausted, shuttling through the earth is like playing at will, and there will be no risk, which is the strength of the Awakened.
However, once the physical strength is exhausted, it is still prone to some small dangers. Although he is a good swimmer, as long as he can correctly control the way he uses his natural powers and use his physical strength reasonably, there will be no accidents. Zhang Xiong: They obviously have some experience in the use of natural powers, and the whole process is smooth.
Under the guidance of the corresponding experts, Zhao Gang and the others quickly found the corresponding rock formation. Originally, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to strip the fossils from these rock formations, but due to the presence of the Awakened, the exquisite fossils were easily stripped away and sent to the surface.
The whole scientific research activity can be said to be extremely smooth, and the harvest is also very rich. If it weren't for the unexpected discovery later, the whole expedition might have come to an end. When Zhao Gang accidentally discovered a mysterious underground space three thousand meters underground, the level of the entire scientific research activity was instantly raised to the highest level.
In accordance with the requirements and instructions of the superiors, several research sites set up underground were required to be established as permanent facilities. The research site, three thousand meters underground, was required to expand to the maximum extent possible with the guarantee of stability, expanding into a large research base, waiting for the higher authorities to send researchers.
It would have been impossible to build a large research base three thousand meters underground before the Age of the Gods. But in Age of the Gods, it only takes three or four Awakened to accomplish a project of this magnitude. It can be said that the Awakened have begun to change the world completely.
For that hidden and huge underground space, except for Luo Tian, everyone was black. There may be many unknowns in the unknown space, and no one dares to set foot in them easily. Before the follow-up personnel arrived, Zhang Xiong completely sealed the unexpected hole with a heavy rock wall.
Curiosity kills cats, especially in this age of awakening, and no one knows what kind of terrifying creatures will exist in that underground space. Once there are some terrifying prehistoric creatures, they will probably all be confessed here.
Compared with others, Luo Tian's heart is very calm. Under the shroud of telekinesis, Luo Tian could be said to be clear about what was in that mysterious space. There are too many unsolved mysteries on the earth itself, so when Luo Tian found out that some dinosaur-like creatures were active in that space, he was not surprised at all.
No matter what Earth it is, the legends about the underworld never disappear. In addition to the underworld, there are even more legendary underworld civilizations, aliens or ancient earthlings. The discovery of this scientific expedition can definitely be said to shock the whole world and the entire human civilization.
It is precisely because of the discovery of the mysterious space that Luo Tian and they can be said to be unable to leave in a short period of time. After promising a high reward, Zhang Xiong and their very happy decision to stay. As for Luo Tian himself, he didn't have anything else to do anyway, so he automatically stayed.
In this way, a large number of people and materials began to gather at Luo Tian's location. In addition to equipment and supplies, a new group of awakened people have also been sent here by the state. In addition to the Earth Awakened Ones who are similar to Zhang Xiong and the others, some other Awakened Ones have also been sent to the underground research space.
In addition to the hunting fantasy creatures recorded in the "Chronicle of the Gods", taking "Heavenly Treasures" is an extremely safe and convenient means of improvement. Medicinal herbs, creatures, ores, all treasures that may be natural treasures are popular among humans.
There are more than a hundred awakened people gathered in the underground research space, and more are coming. No one knows how many treasures are hidden in a virgin land that has never been cultivated. As for the hidden dangers, most of them are deliberately ignored in front of the treasure.
