Chapter 6: The Ultra-Ancient Race

The actions of the victorious team have always been known for their swiftness and decisiveness, and this time was no exception.

After a short communication, the four people in the driver's seat drove the Pippa tank to start the mission.

Rumble ......

The little bit of the drill bit turned up with a loud roar.

Instead of heading directly into the depths of the cavern, Pippa Tank rerouted its exploration route towards the newly detected anomalous heat source.

As the most advanced underground exploration tool within the Victory Team, the Pippa tank is naturally also equipped with a variety of advanced instruments.

Among them, the heat detector, which can penetrate 3,000 meters underground and detect various abnormal heat sources, is the biggest reliance of the Pippa tank to carry out this mission.

“……”

Seeing the back of Pippa Tank, which was gradually disappearing into the hole, Lu Xuan did not speak for a long time.

It wasn't until Lu Xuan couldn't see Pippa Tank anymore that he turned around and looked at the security personnel who were preparing not far away.

"You continue to stay here, and let me know as soon as you notice anything unusual."

After receiving a positive reply from the security personnel, Lu Xuan immediately got into the off-road vehicle and drove towards the largest laboratory on Kurara Island.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Kurara Island, Memory Metal Research and Synthesis Laboratory.

Unlike the lax open-pit mines, this laboratory holds the island's top secrets, so there are plenty of armed men on guard inside and out.

The researchers working inside have signed the highest level of secrecy.

Once the content of the experiment or the data is leaked, the relevant personnel will be held accountable, and the least serious consequences will be imprisoned for more than ten years.

Under such strict secrecy clauses, no one dared to report some of the key inside information even if they knew that the victory team was investigating the truth about the petrification incident on the island.

Of course, the sky-high salary and hush money offered by Galvin are also one of the reasons.

So when Lu Xuan drove an off-road vehicle to the laboratory, Dr. Yamada, the top manager of the laboratory, immediately went out to greet him.

“BOSS!”

Far away, Dr. Yamada bowed to Lu Xuan on the off-road vehicle.

This is a unique Japanese cultural tradition, and it is also Dr. Yamada's heartfelt gratitude to the Kelvin Group.

From being ignored and even despised by everyone to being one of the best doctors in the field of memory metal, Yamada knows better than anyone how hard it can be.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the support of the Kelvin Group, Dr. Yamada would still be working as a small researcher at the University of Tokyo.

"Well, there's something to say in there."

Nodding his head towards Dr. Yamada, Lu Xuan got out of the car and walked straight to the center of the laboratory.

During the whole process, Dr. Yamada did not show the slightest contempt, let alone disobey Lu Xuan because of his age.

After all, as a member of the Galvin Group, no one knows better than Yamada the gold content of the "Genius Youth Program".

Able to stand out from the many talented teenagers.,And was adopted as an adopted son by President Tony.。

The young man in front of him is definitely more terrifying than the outside world imagined.

"Say it! What the hell is going on this time? ”

When the two of them officially entered the scope of the laboratory, Lu Xuan took the initiative to ask.

"If I'm not mistaken, in the last report you submitted, you assured the group that those two monsters would never go berserk."

Hearing this, Dr. Yamada immediately opened his mouth to explain.

"Boss, this time it's an unexpected ......"

"In order to raise those two monsters, the group brought in ore of various materials from all over the world......

"Their living conditions are even a little better than they were at the beginning."

At this point, Dr. Yamada hesitated for a moment before continuing to explain.

"But since three months ago, those two monsters have been unusually ......"

"But given our superficial knowledge of the monster, the observer in charge of observing it at the time didn't take their anomalous behavior to heart."

With Dr. Yamada's little narration, the real situation that happened on Kurara Island emerged little by little.

The specific events are actually similar to what the winning team knows.

But what the victory team didn't know was that the identity of "Gakuma" had long been known within the Galvin Group.

It was an oversized creature that lived underground—a monster that lived underground, as the Victory Team could understand.

Judging by the date of the carbon 14 method, this monster is the real aboriginal of Kurarajima.

Its origin can even be traced back tens of thousands of years to the time when humans were just freed from barbarism, and it is a real living fossil of life.

In fact, as a life that has survived the ultra-ancient period, Gakuma's race has evolved over a long period of time to become a modern monster adapted to the current environment.

It doesn't have the power of the super ancient monsters, but it has obtained the reproductive ability that the super ancient monsters don't have.

The race has continued for generations, so that the number of Gakuma's race has reached a peak of several thousand, and its territory is spread all over the world.

Unfortunately, a sudden natural disaster brought Gakuma to near extinction.

Only a few survivors survived on Kurara Island.

In the modern era, due to the rise of humanity, these few survivors also ushered in their final demise.

Thus, when the once-thriving Gakuma group was discovered by the Galvin Syndicate, only two newly grown individuals were left lurking beneath the surface.

The minerals on the island that can be used to extract memory metals are the products of the excrement of the Gakumars, and they are proof that they once existed.

Ordinary stones are eaten by Gakuma, and when they are discharged again, they produce a wonderful chemical reaction.

Although there is not much change in form, it has a more active reaction than ordinary stones.

Maybe they don't want this race to become extinct......

Or maybe it's just out of profit......

The Galvin Group did not report the existence of the two Gakuma to the TPC, but kept them secret.

Through a long period of observation and research, Dr. Yamada discovered that Kakuma was also picky about the types of stones.

Generally speaking, granite is one of the types of stone that Gakuma likes to eat.

Certain types of ore, although also present in the Gakuma recipe, are not liked by the two remaining Gakuma.

Unsure whether this was a racial commonality or an individual difference, Dr. Yamada chose to deliver only ore to Gakuma that matched their tastes.

Thanks to this, Dr. Yamada gradually developed a delicate relationship of trust with the two Gakuma.
