After resting in the lounge for five or six hours, after waking up, someone took Cheng Pan to the restaurant to eat.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet?"
Choosing a place to sit down, Cheng Pan asked loudly.
"Colonel Cheng, no, Director Cheng, my name is Kong Long, you can just call me Xiao Kong."
"Dinosaurs? Well, it's Kong Long, right? β
Cheng Pan was stunned for a moment and reacted.
"Yes, it's Confucius's hole."
Kong Long smiled bitterly, just because of this name, he was ridiculed for a long time when he was a young student, and every time he said his name, everyone would be stunned, he was almost used to it.
Seeing that Kong Long was a few years younger than him, Cheng Pan also called him Xiao Kong: "Xiao Kong, the dishes in the restaurant here are not bad." β
Compared with the place where Cheng Pan stayed in the past, the food here is actually very delicious, not inferior to the dishes made in those big hotels.
Kong Long smiled: "Director Cheng, the chefs of our No. 17 base are all chefs who are proficient in cooking, and the whole table of the Manchu and Han Dynasty can be made for you, not to mention these small dishes." β
On the table, dishes such as shredded pork with green peppers, back to the pot meat, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes are indeed small dishes of home cooking, but as the saying goes, a chef who can make home-cooked dishes so delicious will obviously not be inferior to the rest of the dishes.
After eating, there was no need to clean up the plates on the table, naturally someone came to clean up, and what the two of them needed to do now was to go to the floor below.
"From the first floor to the tenth floor, it's all an ordinary real room, director, do you need to go over and have a look?"
"Forget about the ordinary real yΓ n room, let's go straight down to the eleventh floor."
The two came to an elevator door, and the 360-degree surveillance camera flashed red. The faces of the two men were automatically recognized, and the door slowly opened.
Entering the elevator, Kong Long held down the option of the eleventh floor, and the elevator slowly sank.
Unlike ordinary elevators, if you choose the eleventh floor, the elevator will not go up. Instead, it descended, and after about ten seconds, the elevator doors opened, revealing a cold-lit passageway.
The passage is about fifteen meters long, and at the end of the passage, the two of them must be verified by the iris before they are allowed to enter.
After going inside, Kong Long took Cheng Pan to the locker room to change his clothes and start the disinfection process.
The first disinfection room. It was disinfected by bathing in high-temperature steam, and the two of them stayed naked in it for fifteen minutes, and then walked into the second room for acidic and alkaline disinfection, ultraviolet irradiation, and blood testing.
By the time I finally entered the fifth disinfection room, a full hour had passed.
After washing their bodies with a special potion, the two of them changed into white uniforms and put on masks. Finally really entered the eleventh layer.
"Do you need to disinfect it like this every time you enter here?"
Cheng Pan is not impatient. But if you have to disinfect it for such a long time every time you enter, it will be too troublesome.
"Yes, so Director Cheng, in order to avoid trouble, the people below the eleventh floor often don't go up for a month."
"Yes."
Cheng Pan understands this. It's so troublesome to get in and out every time, and it's no wonder that many people don't go out...... Of course, this also proves what Lieutenant General Liu said, this is an extremely boring job, and we must be mentally prepared in advance.
People who work here. Not only is he burdened with national interests and security, but he even has to hand over his own life, just because no one knows if the base will get out of control in the next moment, and what is being studied here is too dangerous for the current human race.
"Well, that's ......"
The door opened, and the two people in white uniforms walked into the hall, and Cheng Pan was immediately surprised.
Along the sides of the hall, dozens of cylindrical nutrition pods are placed, and through the transparent glass, you can see many deformed and strange objects floating in the slightly yellowed liquid.
Yes, it must be described as deformed, because those objects are definitely not any kind of organisms that Cheng Pan has seen.
For example, in the glass cabin closest to him, there is a shape similar to a human arm, but the black shell, and the silk lines at the broken arm, can tell SΓΉ Cheng Pan, this is definitely not a human arm.
And the objects in the glass cabin behind are more strange things that can't even be ensured in shape, and with Cheng Pan's imagination, it is really impossible to confirm what these things are.
The researcher wearing a full isolation suit, holding a notebook in his hand at this time, was recording the state in the glass cabin, and let Cheng Pan and Kong Long walk past him, but they didn't react much.
"Things ...... here"
"They are all the remains of unknown creatures from all over the country......"
Kong Long stopped, pointed to one of the glass cabins, and said, "This unknown creature named No. 187 was caught at 43oo meters deep in the South China Sea last year. β
"Oh."
Following Kong Long's direction, Cheng Pan looked up, and in the glass cabin, a fist-sized spherical object was emitting a faint blue light, it was a bit like a jellyfish, and the blue light at the core was transparent to the tissue, faintly emanating out, extremely beautiful.
"What kind of creature is this?"
Cheng Pan was interested: "It looks like a jellyfish that can light, well, a jellyfish with a strange appearance." β
"It's not a jellyfish, and in fact, we can't even confirm if this creature is really alive."
"What does that mean?"
"We haven't seen it eat since it was caught last year, and previous feedings have had no effect, and after the food supply was cut off, 187 has not had any food sources for eight months."
Kong Long said incredulously: "The most inexplicable thing is that this No. 187 is shining 24 hours a day, and we haven't figured out where such energy comes from." β
Kong Long's words reminded Cheng Pan of a creature that appeared on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau before.
At that time, it was 95 years, Hong Kong had not yet returned, and he was still a soldier in Xi*Tibet, and by chance in the cave after the avalanche, a "person" appeared in a frozen state.
The reason why this "person" should be put in quotation marks is that it is very different from the modern race.
This "man" was naked, 2.7 meters tall, covered in hair, with hands hanging down to his knees, huge feet, and an ape-like face.
He and the squad leader at that time, when they saw this frozen "person", they were scared into a cold sweat, and anyone who saw a "person" about 2.7 meters tall would be shocked inexplicably.
Later, the two hurried back to the camp and reported the incident to their superiors, who immediately ordered a company to lead the way.
Unexpectedly, when I went there again, it seemed that there was an avalanche again, and I still found that cave.
Cheng Pan and his squad leader thought that they would be severely criticized and demerited, but they didn't expect that they would only be reprimanded later, and there was no rest of the, which made the two of them puzzled.
Later, Cheng Pan experienced a lot of things, and every time he recalled it, he suddenly felt that it should be the Tibetan "Mi Gui", which means a humanoid monster, that is, the great snow monster in the Himalayas in Tibetan legends.
People who have not experienced it personally will certainly not be able to believe this qiΔ, and only those who have really experienced these things will understand that the world is far from being as simple as it seems.
99.99999% of people in this world are happy, because they don't know, they are happy.
Just like during the Cold War, if people at that time knew that there was a certain chance of a full-scale nuclear war this morning, they would not be able to eat even if they put bread to their mouths.
After looking at the research object on the eleventh floor, the two continued to move down to the twelfth floor.
"The creatures on the eleventh layer are all the remains of creatures that are unknown but have not yet appeared, but from the twelfth layer onwards, the creatures that appear here are relatively dangerous, and they must have a certain harm to humans."
"This was seen by a joint expedition to the Antarctic and the United States, at Markham Peak."
What Kong Long was referring to, in Cheng Pan's opinion, should not be a creature at all.
In a glass safe room, the soft object with a snow-white body was as plush as a snow-white bear skin.
"Don't be deceived by the appearance of this thing, if this thing is attached to a person's body, it will open a big hole in your body in just one second, and it will suck all the blood out of your body in just ten seconds."
Cheng Pan didn't care about the danger of this thing, he was a little concerned about another problem.
"What's going on with the U.S. joint expedition you're talking about?"
"Markham Peak is very close to the McMurdo research station in the United States, and our scientific expedition team was jointly conducting a scientific expedition to Markham Peak with the United States at that time, but we didn't expect several members to go missing before and after."
"Then I caught two of them...... The United States is one, China is one, and none of the rest of the country knows. β
Although Kong Long said it lightly, Cheng Pan could feel the danger.
For the people at that time, seeing strange creatures suck the blood of the team members one by one and die, even if they survived, it would be a nightmare for the rest of their lives.
There are more than 22o kinds of minerals in Antarctica, and the rich resources have attracted many large countries to investigate, which is the greed of human beings, and it is also the consequence of the urgent need for various mineral resources in society, so it is understandable.
However, Antarctica 6 was formed for about 550,000 years, and it is not anyone's imagination what kind of creatures will be born and what kind of creatures will remain in the ice during such a terrifying period of time.
In their recent plans, China and the United States plan to excavate bacteria and microorganisms from ancient times from the ice hundreds of meters or thousands of meters deep underground in Antarctica, and to conduct a comparative test with modern bacteria and microorganisms, so as to test what kind of changes have taken place in bacteria, microorganisms, and even viruses over tens of millions of years.
