The red light, which symbolizes the life of the person wearing the monitor, is still on, which means that its owner is free of life.

The ability to monitor whether a character's life is alive or not without any more information is a temporary technical limitation.

After all, the technology of large-flow information transmission has been cut off for more than 400 years, and it is not so easy to pick it up for a while.

Therefore, the information that can be transmitted back through the sensor is limited, one is the accurate life feedback, and the other is not the real-time map location.

It stands to reason that the red light, which symbolizes life, will always be on...... Or in other words, it will either turn on or off, so that there will be no flickering.

The voltage of their research center is absolutely stable, and there will be no flickering lights due to voltage.

Is it a delusion?

However, the researcher was sure that he was not hallucinating, and in a second or two of that moment, the five red lights that symbolized the entire team flashed twice in unison.

Now it's back to normal......

After hesitating for a long time, the researcher hesitantly raised his hand and shouted at Minister Liccock without looking back, "Minister, I seem to have found a problem here. ”

"What's the problem?" With the dull sound of leather shoes on the floor, Minister Lycok's voice rang out in the distance.

"This light just now, it seems to have flashed twice."

"Like?"

The researcher gritted his teeth lightly, and his tone was firm, "It's just flashed twice, I'm pretty sure." ”

"Bang Bang!" Minister Liccock came to the researcher's console, reached out and tapped a few buttons on the countertop, the data stream reflected a fluorescent green light on the lenses of his glasses, and his eyes quickly swept, and Minister Liccock's face appeared with a slightly puzzled expression, "I didn't find anything wrong......

"Is the signal not stable enough?" Someone next to him offered his opinion.

Looking at the data flow in front of him, Minister Liccock hugged his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other to think, "It's not that this possibility is ......"

The signal base station has just been established, and it is normal that some ancient technologies have not been fully picked up.

Moreover, some natural phenomena that occasionally occur in nature are not impossible to interfere with signals.

For hundreds of years, people have been using local area networks that are close and have limited transmission speeds, and it's not uncommon to have some problems restarting the tree.

"Continue to observe first, and don't let go of any doubts." Minister Lycok ordered.

After a while, another researcher's voice rang out again in a quiet corner of the room, "I just saw the light flicker twice. ”

It's another squad.

"I saw it too." Another researcher's voice was determined.

With their teammates on the charge, they were convinced of what they were observing.

Minister Lycock frowned and commanded in a cold voice, "Write down the time." ”

"Yes!"

……

"I found out too."

"I saw ...... too"

As time passed, voices rang out in all directions.

The red light, which symbolizes the lives of the members of the ten squads, happened the same thing.

Minister Liccock seemed to be waiting for this moment, and he stood in the middle, his expression serious, "Call up the log of flickering time." ”

While waiting, Minister Liccock muttered softly, "Location......"

Within moments, the large display in the center of the room was receiving aggregate data from each computer - where the team members were on the map when the red light flashed.

Not very precisely, of course.

At present, there is no precise positioning of global satellites, and distances measured by other means are displayed on a map only a rough fuzzy set.

'Not on the same line?' ’

The speed of the ten teams is far and near, after all, the area in which everyone is responsible is different, the terrain is naturally different, and the straight-line distance after setting off is also different.

"Let's see if there's a midpoint center."

"Smack!"

The operator doubled the sound, and the simulated circles flashed one by one, trying to bring together all the locations together.

However, it is easy to fail.

"Is it the influence of some natural minerals?"

Some natural minerals in the wild have a natural shielding effect on electromagnetic signals, and it is normal to have occasional fluctuations when passing through the affected range.

In short, there are too many influencing factors, and there is no way to rely on this small amount of information to determine this.

'When the team comes back this time, please ask the military to dig deeper and explore these locations......

Minister Liccock made the decision to skip the matter instead.

"Continue to monitor and report other situations as well."

……

Bai Er, who was sitting in the car and staggering, suddenly shook his head, and subconsciously looked back in the direction of the base.

Just now, he felt that some kind of connection between himself and the base was suddenly severed, but this kind of inspiration seemed to be instantaneous, and there was no basis, it was just a mysterious and mysterious "feeling".

"We're almost at the nearest calibration site." The tiger holds the map and discerns where everyone is now.

The places with the tunnels left by the sandworm activity are highlighted, and this is the first stop that everyone needs to explore and contact first.

No amount of information can be compared to seeing it with your own eyes, even the traces left by sandworms can make everyone establish a more tangible understanding of it.

"Look! Front! ”

The eagle sitting in the passenger seat has the best eyes, and he can find the faint traces of potholes on the horizon from a distance.

"Buzz!" Dashan stepped on the accelerator, and the tires flew sand and gravel at a rapid pace, rushing towards the nearest trace of sandworm activity.

"Whew!" The huge body slowly stopped, and the sturdy figure of Wudao jumped briskly from the edge of the cabin, which was extremely high above the ground.

The five of them came to the pit left by the sandworm and formed a circle, and looked down together......

"Turtle turtle~" Oyama was the first to exclaim.

The big hole is bottomless, and even the sunlight cannot penetrate the dark depths, winding deep and unpredictable.

The first thing to guess is the depth, and then to observe more details-

The edges of the cavity are not smooth, and the whole is not perfectly round, but slightly flattened oval.

The brown sand stone does not look like a tough rock structure, but silver "threads" can be seen clinging to the sand where the sun can shine, like the residue of some kind of secreted mucus that has dried up.

Looking at the large hole in front of him, which was large enough for two or three soldiers to walk through at the same time, Bai Er's mind seemed to have the image of the sandworm that had dug this tunnel rushing through the dark underground, accompanied by a rapid roar.

"Click~" The sound of metal brackets sounded in my ears.

The teammate decided to go down and have a look.

The mountain and the tiger have a thick rope tied around their waists, and the other end hangs from Yuzu's body.

She is the master of the team's field tracking and finding ability, and she is petite and light, and in case of emergencies, the two fierce men of the mountain and the tiger can directly pull her out as soon as they mention it, so they are the most suitable candidates.

The tunnel is not straight, and the winding walls give Yuzu a place to fully leverage it, and the heavily armed Yuzu gradually penetrates into the depths that are difficult for the eye to see, under the ropes of the mountains and tigers.

"How?"

A close-range walkie-talkie is of course available, Tiger whispered after Yuzu disappeared from view.

"It's a bit dark and smells ...... It's a little weird, nothing else. Yuzu's cool, buzzing voice rang out in Bai Er's headset.

"The walls are hard, and these silvery silk threads are supposed to be the secretions of sandworms, which they rely on to hold the tunnels in place with this sticky secretion."

"Keep ......"

"Found a shattered bone blade."

"Put ...... again"

"It's not long enough...... Tiger reminded softly.

"Oh~" Yuzu's voice was dull for a moment, as if making a final observation, "It's probably collapsed far away, and their secretions seem to degrade naturally over time, and the tunnel won't always exist." ”

"Direction...... To the south, about 15 degrees to the west. ”

"Alright, pull me up."

Naturally, everyone will not follow the tunnels dug by the sandworms, which is too dangerous, after all, the underground is not the home of humans.

Identifying a general direction is the primary goal.
