Chapter 110: The Truth
After returning to the escape pod, Qin Fei opened the tablet and inserted the two PAD data modules he found from the Healer into the grooves of the computer.
The first piece of PAD data is a voice log composed of two conversations.
"This is the Cyclops, and we're 900 meters down there, there's a dark purple river."
"River? Are you sure you read that right? ”
"Yes, it is indeed a river .... According to the scanner's analysis, the composition of the liquid in this river may be closely related to the 'Kara virus'..."
"Well done! Send back the information of these liquids..."
"Received.... Wait, you see, what kind of monster is that? ”
About a minute later....
'Boom'! (A loud explosion)
The record in this PAD data module comes to an abrupt end here.
In the ocean floor of planet 4546B, there is indeed a magical river. That is the 'Lost River' in the depths of the sea.
According to the content of this dialogue, Qin Fei made up the specific plot in his brain.
He reckoned that the man in conversation was piloting the Cyclops, and it was likely that he had reached the vicinity of the Lost River.
In addition, based on the final explosion, Qin Fei judged that the Cyclops should have been destroyed in the Lost River.
And it was destroyed by some kind of monster.
Judging by the time the explosion was heard, there was only a minute between the discovery of the monster and the explosion of their ship.
The Cyclops is equipped with a specialized defense module that creates a defensive barrier capable of self-protection.
With the Cyclops' defensive capabilities, even if it was attacked by the ghost Leviathan, it would never have exploded in such a short period of time.
Well, the cyclops exploded in the Lost River, perhaps after being attacked by monsters far more powerful than the ghost Leviathan.
Qin Fei guessed that that monster was probably the 'Leviathan, the father of the sharks' mentioned in the main quest.
The second piece of PAD data is a transcript.
September 1, 2011.
'We have successfully landed on Planet 4546B. As planned, the captain and I remained on the Healer.
The deputy captain took a group of people aboard the Cyclops and went to the depths of the ocean to look for clues about the Kara virus.
Good luck to them! ’
September 4, 2011.
According to the underwater river samples sent back by the Cyclops, this dark purple liquid seems to contain some kind of extremely powerful energy.
If used properly, with this liquid as the main energy element.... It can even bring countless new technologies to human society.
Unfortunately, this liquid seems to corrupt the minds of those infected by it. \
This corrosive effect has even polluted the oceans of the entire planet
In addition, corroded organisms will have the same symptoms as those infected with Caravirus. In severe cases, there will even be a certain degree of variation.
There must be some connection between this fluid and the Cara virus.
I think we may be getting closer to finding the true secret of the kara virus....'
After Qin Fei saw this paragraph, he couldn't help frowning.
Dark purple liquid?
Mutating and corrupting minds?
After seeing these two pieces of information about the liquid in the Lost River, Qin Fei suddenly thought of the 'Edmund Metal' in the Ark Distortion World.
That is, the purple river that flows at the bottom of the distorted shadow zone (red zone) - Tektronix stock solution.
After injecting Tektronix stock solution into the human body, there will also be mutations, corrosive minds and other effects.
This is very similar to the effect of the purple liquid in the Lost River.
On top of that, the Tektronix stock solution is also a dark purple color....
Thinking of this, Qin Fei immediately came to a conclusion:
The dark purple liquid flowing in the Lost River in the depths of the ocean may be the Tektronix stock solution in the ark!
Because these Tektronix stocks are much heavier and denser than water, they are able to sink to the bottom of the ocean.
And form a unique scenery on the bottom of the sea, 'river in the sea'.
However, it is inevitable that there will be penetration between the liquids.
As a result, the Tektronix essence in these Lost Rivers slowly spread to every corner of Planet 4546B with the seawater.
As a result, life on the entire planet has been corroded by Tektronix stock solution to a greater or lesser extent.
This is probably the origin of the kara virus.
After the protagonist came to this planet, he was also infected by the Tektronix original solution.
Although he had cleared himself of the infection, the effects of the original solution had long since spread to the entire planet, almost everywhere.
Therefore, the protagonist inadvertently brings this Tektronix stock solution back to Earth.
Due to the very small amount of stock solution on Earth, only the symptoms of 'karaovirus infection' have been observed in humans.
There was no 'mutation'.
At the same time, the Earth in the world of Deep Trek did not appear as a collective creature 'Titan' composed of corrosive wills like in the Ark world.
But it was enough to wipe out the entire planet.
As for the planet 4546B, due to the extremely large number of Tektronix stock solutions, a large number of organisms have produced unknown mutations.
By the same token, the level of corrosion suffered by those crew members after they came here was greatly increased. As a result, a few people's bodies have changed and become monsters with tentacles all over their bodies.
If you think about it this way, all the problems can be explained.
Of course, this is just speculation after all.
Whether this is the case or not, Qin Fei will only be able to confirm it completely after arriving at the Lost River.
In addition, what the 'Leviathan, the father of sharks' mentioned in the main quest that Qin Fei received, is still unclear.
This creature has never been seen in the game of Deep Trek.
There are also two creatures that live deeper under the sea, 'Sea Dragon Leviathan' and 'Sea Emperor', have they mutated?
In the game, the Creature of the Sea Emperor has a certain restraining effect on the Kara virus, which is the Tektronix stock solution.
The protagonist in the game also relies on the fertility enzymes secreted by the Sea Emperor to clear the infection in his body.
The Sea Emperor is a highly intelligent living being.
Maybe as long as Qin Fei can find the existence of the Sea Emperor, he will be able to figure out the truth of most things.
After analyzing the data in the PAD, Qin Fei took out the signal receiver he had found from the Healer.
[Cyclops Signal Receiver: 'Cyclops' navigation aid, which can locate and display the position of Cyclops.] 】
After getting the two pieces of equipment, the Stagnation Gun and the Sea Shrimp, Qin Fei had a lot of confidence.
As strong as the existence of the ghost Leviathan, they are far from his opponents.
In order to find out the true cause of the kara virus, but also to find the specific hiding place of the 'father of sharks, Leviathan'.
Qin Fei drove the Sea Shrimp towards the Lost River in the lower layer of the submarine desert.
