Chapter 478: The Eve of the Crisis (5)
Two hours later, the two modified drones took off in the gradually calming weather and flew in the direction of the base.
The first group of people left here on the icebreaker Zeus, but it would take dozens of hours until the second icebreaker arrived, and during this time, it was extremely important to obtain information about the unknown creatures of the other world.
It is necessary to obtain the appropriate intelligence in order to make relative arrangements for the next response.
It is to modify the drone as soon as possible, so as to release the drone for reconnaissance, which is what Chen Yang immediately ordered to do with all his strength.
Now the weather conditions are good, and the flight of the drones has little impact, as long as two hours, the two drones can be close to the range of the base and carry out reconnaissance operations against it.
All Chen Yang and the others had to do in these two hours was to wait patiently.
Judging from the distribution map of Antarctic research stations, there are more than 150 scientific research stations set up by various countries on the 14 million square kilometers of land on the entire Antarctic continent.
However, within 700 kilometers of the base, there is not a single research station in existence, except for the one established by Andres.
Those creatures from other worlds, even though the number is indeed staggering, it is difficult to encounter human traces in a short period of time.
"Boss!"
A gentle knock sounded on the door, and Chen Yang replied without raising his head: "Come in." β
Zenobia pushed open the door and walked straight in.
"What's the matter?"
"Boss, the Polar icebreaker had a smooth journey without any trouble, and at the current sailing speed, it should be able to arrive an hour earlier."
"Well, that's good. If possible, let them speed things up a little more...... It's not a place to stay for long. β
Especially at this time. Chen Yang silently added in his heart.
"Yes, I'll inform him of them right away."
Zenobia nodded, and was about to leave, when Chen Yang suddenly called out to her: "By the way, how many people are there here now?" β
ββ¦β¦ Plus the boss you. There are 137 people in total. β
Zenobia replied, without hesitation, indicating that the number had already been in her mind.
"137 people? Will the Polar icebreaker be able to carry so many people? β
The Polar is no better than the latest model of Zeus icebreaker, which was originally an obsolete product and was purchased by Chen Yang, and its service life is already thirty-five years old, and the old model for many years may not be able to support so many guests, you must know that there are dozens of necessary crew members on board.
"Boss, no problem, I've asked carefully before, the Polar can still carry 154 people. The ship's reserves were also enough to guarantee our consumption for a week. β
Zenobia's mind is really very delicate, and Chen Yang did not explain the things to him, but he also asked clearly, and he could answer Chen Yang's sudden questions well at any time.
It was really a waste for such talents to be mercenaries in the past, but fortunately, Chen Yanghui saw the talents and tapped Zenobia's talents, so that she could have a big stage to play.
Even in a certain kind of Cheng dΓΉ comparison, Liu Helan may not be as delicate as Zenobia's mind. It can only be said that Liu Helan's victory is indeed much better than Zenobia, who is not highly educated.
Wave your hand for Zenobia to go down. Chen Yang changed his clothes and came to the biological room of the scientific research station.
It was here that five or six researchers were dissecting and comparing previously collected unknown creatures.
"How's it going?"
Chen Yang asked in a low voice about the progress of his research.
Looking up at Chen Yang, he realized that this was a high-level person from the headquarters, and the person in charge of the real yΓ n room was over half a hundred years old, with sparse hair and beard. Wen Yan replied with a little excitement: "Incredible, really incredible, this creature is definitely a big discovery." β
ββ¦β¦ What do you mean? β
"Sir, you know that the basic elements that make up the matter of our life are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Among them, phosphorus plays a vital role in the cells of our earth's organisms, and is the backbone ......of maintaining our genetic material DNA and RNA.
The old man's eyes flashed with an astonishing light: "It is also involved in our cell membranes, transporting energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules, and most of the creatures on earth would not have survived without phosphorus. But this organism is actually integrated into DNA in the form of arsenic acid to replace the role of phosphate...... This is definitely a life form that is completely different from our life on Earth. β
Hearing the old man babbling for a long time, although Chen Yang understood, he also sighed.
In other words, no matter how different this creature may be from the earth's creatures, its adaptability to the earth's environment is the most important thing.
According to the tests of these researchers, the unknown creature has maintained a high degree of activity at temperatures ranging from minus 60 degrees to minus 80 degrees Celsius, and has not had any anomalies.
The normal earth's air is really yΓ n, and I haven't noticed anything unusual about it.
It will take a lot of time to verify more realities, but these alone are enough to make Chen Yang feel worried.
Generally speaking, creatures on different planets have different life forms, and even though the life forms are basically similar, not all of them can adapt to each other's planetary environment because of the differences of each planet.
For example, if you throw human beings on another living planet, not to mention that there are poisonous gases and bacteria and viruses, just saying that the oxygen concentration is different, it can make many people unable to adapt, and even the concentration is higher, and if you stay for a long time, you will also have oxygen poisoning.
It can be seen that life is really a very fragile thing, and if you are not careful, you will die for various reasons.
After thinking about it, Chen Yang suddenly realized that if you look at the world opened by the first two cubes, could it be that the world opposite the fourth cube is also a parallel earth?
That makes sense.
However, with this kind of monster, if the other side is really the earth, Chen Yang doesn't have too many expectations for the humans in this parallel world at all.
Telling the real room to hurry up, Chen Yang walked out of the real room and rested for a while, and then received the reconnaissance image transmitted back from the drone.
Standing in front of several big screens, Chen Yang and the others only felt a chill in their hearts, and the situation was even worse than they imagined. I saw two drones gliding through the air from afar, and the originally white ice and snow land below was now rolling by dozens of torrents with a width of more than 100 meters, and it was the group of greasy tentacle creatures.
This place is still twenty kilometers from the base!
For a while, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them, holding their breath and not daring to gasp, only to feel that their hearts were heavier.
The vast army of torrents extending from the sky, such a number is just looking at the side in front of you, and the number is expected to exceed one million, if it is centered on the base and radiates in all directions, the number level will be a level.
When the drone continued to fly forward, just seven or eight kilometers later, the huge tentacles that Chen Yang and the others had seen before appeared in front of them again.
With a diameter of more than three meters and a length of about one hundred and fifty meters, it was like a terrifying earthworm, surrounded by countless greasy tentacles, slowly climbing and wriggling on the snow.
And this slowness is also relative to its volume and length, and if you compare it to humans, the speed is definitely not slow.
A terrifying tentacle like this appeared, followed by seven or eight tentacles like this, which was along the direction of the scientific research station, not the rest of the directions.
How terrifying!
The silence in the room was like iron, and even Chen Yang and the others could not speak at this moment, not to mention Ryan and the others, who were under great pressure in this terrifying scene that they had never seen before, or even imagined, and the nervous feelings turned into cold sweat, and drops seeped out from the skin on their foreheads, slowly flowing through their cheeks without noticing.
"It's okay, it's okay......"
After a long time, Ryan barely suppressed the horror, and said with a bitter smile: "If it is such a number, it is actually not too difficult to annihilate, as long as the United States dispatches five to seven aircraft carrier formations and takes turns to bomb day and night, it may be able to be done in a week." β
"If you use nuclear weapons, maybe sooner?" Zenobia was thoughtful.
Nuclear weapons in Antarctica?
It's hard to get the rest of the country to agree, right?
After all, Antarctica is the last pure land of mankind, and all countries have long reached a consensus to avoid Antarctic pollution as much as possible.
If nuclear weapons were to be used, the lethality would be sufficient, but no one knows for sure how dangerous the environment would be in Antarctica.
Of course, if it is really a matter of life and death, no one can care about so much.
However, by the time the drone approached the original site of the base, everyone was almost unrecognizable.
No, or maybe the original base has been overwhelmed by boundless tentacles, if it weren't for the latitude and longitude confirmed, where would it be recognizable!
Looking at the unidentified biota gushing out like a hot spring, the huge tentacles coming out of the ground, and the greasy tentacles that accompanied by a million times the number, what Ryan had said before could no longer be spoken.
If the number of 10 million is 10 million, maybe the US military can kill it in just a week, but what if it is 30 or 40 million?
You must know that from nine o'clock to now, it has only been more than five hours, and there are so many unknown creatures surging out, given them a week, the ghost knows if there will be billions or tens of billions!
This is to stand still and let the human attack, and the bombers will have to die of metal fatigue...... The only way to do this is to use nuclear weapons.
Now like this, Chen Yang simply gave up the idea of looking for a cube, this dense number of tens of millions of monsters from another world, even if he and his right hand are full of attack power, if they fall, they will not be able to splash, and they will be submerged without a trace in an instant.
