Chapter 306: The Source of the Black Matter
The researcher muttered as he led the way:
"Actually, we're also trying to troubleshoot.
"The imaging lens, the display, and the equipment itself were all checked, but the cause of the technical failure could not be found, so there was no way.
"I can only trouble you."
Kinnara looked embarrassed:
How can we understand the failure of the instrument.
It's very dangerous right now, so it's better to leave as soon as possible and recover your extraordinary abilities.
So she said:
"This colleague, we suddenly found that we didn't have all the maintenance equipment, can we go back to pick it up first, and then come back tomorrow to repair it."
Zila-
At this moment, the surrounding scene shook violently.
Musashino and the others suddenly felt a strong sense of tearing.
"What is this?"
It seems that it was because of what Kinnara said just now that caused this kind of change.
Mammon's voice rang in his ears:
"Don't act rashly.
"Just remember to follow the plot, otherwise there will be chaos at the junction of reality and history, and the Book of Oblivion will directly tear up all your friends."
Musashino suddenly understood:
That's what the Forgotten Book is for!
Its power should have enveloped the entire Mariana Grand Canyon, and the experimental base in front of it was the first trap it had laid.
The researcher looked back.
He asked casually:
"We don't need to use complicated equipment for instrument maintenance, right?"
And the surrounding scene shook more and more violently, and the tearing feeling became stronger and stronger, and Scarlett and Asano Tomoshi couldn't stand it first, and almost fell to the ground.
Musashino hurriedly replied:
"We don't have to pick up the equipment, we can just go and overhaul it."
Bang Dong –
The entire center seemed to straighten instantly, and all shaking immediately stopped.
The researcher smiled:
"Then please."
Jinnaro breathed a long sigh of relief, and she also understood that since she came in, she had to be a COS researcher, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
The group followed him to the equipment room.
The researchers first took out a high-precision biological microscope.
He took out a sample slide and placed it on, then projected the image onto a screen.
"Look.
"The sample is an internal cross-section of Streptococcus thermophilus, which used to show up normally, but now it's all pitch black."
Musashino motioned for him to stand away.
Then he fiddled with it himself.
"Well, it's weird indeed."
Of course, he knew that it was not the problem of the instruments and equipment at all, and the root cause was the "substantia nigra".
All the microscopic world observed by humans will be automatically attached by a "black matter" particle, forming a circle of black fields to block the detection of all instruments.
It's just that the people in this laboratory haven't realized the seriousness of the problem.
He gently lowered the microscope:
"In my experience, the instrument is fine.
"That's right.
"Have you ever thought that this could be interference from some unknown power?"
Yes?
The researcher was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his voice:
"For example?"
"Let's say a transcendent being is deliberately targeting your experiments with supernatural abilities." Musashino replied tentatively.
"Shhhh
The researcher motioned to him to whisper:
"Our current experiment is carried out behind the back of the source, you must not have a crow's mouth."
Musashino looked behind him.
On the wall hangs an electronic wall calendar:
Source Calendar.
July 22, 248.
It turns out that what happened here is more than 200 years after the source ruled the world, and it has been some years since the prehistoric human medical accident.
The City of Bronze Radiance left the surface at about this point in time.
"I'm not a crow's mouth, I'm just kindly reminding me."
The scientist leaned into his ear:
"No, it won't.
"Now the whole world is full of experiments and actions carried out by the source, and no matter how powerful it is, it can't control so many people.
"It's impossible to just take care of us."
Everyone looked at each other:
The rule of the source is not stable at present~
This is also understandable, the height of prehistoric human technology is unimaginable, even if the source is now a true god, he cannot fully control everything.
It may even be counter-killed by human science and technology at any time.
Musashino thought for a moment and asked:
"How many people are there in the world right now?"
"Huh?"
The researcher shrugged his shoulders: "Isn't this the most basic knowledge, 2.95 billion million, and this number may double in the next century." ”
Musashino nodded.
This can at least show that the living conditions of human society at the beginning of the Origin era were not worse.
Basically, it takes the shortest time to restore prosperity.
"That'...... Do you think about it, has anything strange happened recently?
"Or is it sensational news?"
He now wants to figure out:
How did the "substantia nigra" appear?
Such a terrible technological lock must have a great origin, and it will not appear out of thin air inexplicably.
Just as the birth of the source was accompanied by the "Cleveland medical accident", and the birth of the deranged matchmaker was accompanied by the "escape of genetic engineering products".
There is definitely a precursor that can be figured out.
"This ......"
The researchers were confused:
What does this have to do with repairing equipment?
What a strange question.
But anyway, the experimental task has been postponed, so it won't delay too much time to chat.
"What are you going to say...... That's a lot of weird things. ”
In this world, there has been no peaceful day for a long time.
"Huh!"
The researcher snapped his fingers suddenly:
"Last month, a miniature asteroid fragment hit the Earth, and in a rare case, it landed in a glacier in the Arctic."
He simply took out his mobile phone and showed the news to Musashino:
June 13, 248 in the source calendar.
[Shocked! The most peculiar invisible meteorite in history hit the Earth, leaving only a puddle of black slag! 】
Musashino reads out the news:
"Yesterday night, an asteroid debris hit the Earth, and it has not caused any serious impact so far.
But what puzzles the International Space Agency is:
Their monitoring methods were unsuccessful in detecting the debris until it officially fell to the ground, and it was not discovered through seismic waves.
"The cause is still under investigation......"
The picture below is a deep pit.
A blackened layer of carbonace around the edges.
The researcher explains:
"The reason why it is sensational is that there is no prior warning, and this asteroid fragment seems to be invisible, and no mechanism can detect it."
Musashino frowned slowly.
He and Reynolds looked at each other:
"Unobservable ......"
It is really difficult not to associate this characteristic with the "black matter" that blocks human technology.
Perhaps the appearance of the "substantia nigra" on Earth is very closely related to this meteorite.
"Where is this meteorite kept now?"
Reynolds asked eagerly.
The researcher shook his head:
"How to save?
"There is only a crater on the ground, and the space agency personnel speculate that the meteorite has completely melted clean at the moment of its fall."
"That's not right."
Musashino shook his head.
This meteorite is definitely not melting.
It is the source of the "substantia nigra"!
The culprit who will block the development of human science and technology in the future, the top three super evil gods in the ten heavenly stems!
