Chapter Forty-Seven: There Is a Base in the Deep Sea (Happy New Year!) )
From a scientific point of view, exploring the deep sea can help mankind understand the mysteries of the ocean and the mysteries of the earth.
The deep sea, which is more than 2,000 meters deep and occupies three-fifths of the earth's surface, can be traced back to the depths of the sea, both the fate of greenhouse gas emissions and the source of long-term climate change.
Not only that, but the seafloor is the closest point to the Earth's interior: the continental crust is on average 35 kilometers thick, while the oceanic crust is 7 kilometers. To uncover the laws of plate movement and to peek into the truth of the Earth's interior, it is also necessary to explore the bottom of the deep sea.
From an economic point of view, the deep sea is rich in minerals, oil and gas and biological resources, and when the land resources are gradually depleted, human beings will inevitably turn to the sea.
Therefore, all along, all countries that have the ability to explore the deep sea have never stopped.
But what about the progress......
That's it.
Naturally, the deep sea is not as difficult to detect as it is on land.
After all, the density of seawater is greater than that of fresh water, and the deeper it is, the greater the pressure, the greater the pressure that the detector has to bear, and the general materials simply cannot hold it, and it seems that it is not easy to make a suitable detector.
But now dozens of probes are heading for the Mariana Trench, each of which is withstanding the strong water pressure and diving into the deep sea.
It's weird!
On weekdays, it would take a country months or even years to build such a detector, but now it can release so many at once?
Therefore, it is not that science and technology cannot develop, but that some people and certain forces are unwilling to develop science and technology too quickly, because if science and technology develop too quickly, it will be detrimental to their interests.
It is only under the spurring of a severe crisis that the forces that hinder these people and forces are relaxed, and it is precisely this that the rapid development of science and technology during the two world wars is precisely what happened.
The reason why modern people feel that the development of science and technology is slowing down is not that modern people are not as intelligent as those great scientists of a few decades ago, but that today's people's hearts are not purer than they were a few decades ago, there are too many temptations, and the power of obstacles is greater, and when there is no major crisis, all parties will not concentrate talents.
These need a little stimulation......
Normally, when the depth is more than 200 meters, it is difficult for the sunlight to shine, the light is dim, it is difficult to see things with the help of sunlight, and if the water depth reaches thousands of meters, there is no light at all.
And the Mariana Trench, which these probes are going to reach, is up to 10,000 meters deep, not to mention.
But when the probe arrived, an amazing scene was filmed.
I saw that in the vast deep sea, which should be dark and without any light, a bright base was sitting!
This is a very large base, stretching out of the sea, very sci-fi style, as if moved out of a science fiction movie, absolutely not created by today's human civilization.
The light from the base illuminates the dark depths of the ocean, making the probe more visible.
Not to mention those sci-fi style buildings, the most eye-catching attraction is a giant golden tree standing in the base.
The tree has no leaves, only branches, and those branches, as if cast of metal, waving and stretching, flow with the whole body of the tree.
This isn't the vanished Nathan Sacred Tree, but what is it?
The appearance of the Nathan Sacred Tree proves that this base is indeed the target's lair.
But this did not make the members of the official Inhuman Institutions of various countries who saw this scene happy, but more solemn.
Because the coordinates are said by the target himself, and the target or the organization to which the target belongs can build a base in this deep sea, its technical capabilities have surpassed that of other countries.
This makes them even more deeply uneasy.
Originally, they recognized the target as a threat, but at the time they believed that the target was capable and an anti-human element with terrorist powers.
Now the nature is different, the target not only has the power of terror, but also has technology far superior to theirs.
The target turned out to be a very powerful rogue, although powerful enough to threaten the safety of the entire human race, but the hooligan is just a rogue, although a little stronger, but most people think there is a way to solve it.
After all, they are not as powerful as the target, but they have so many top experts and scholars, have mastered advanced technology, and have a lot of resources at their disposal, and they can always find a way to eliminate the target.
Now it turns out that the target is not only a highly capable individual, but also a highly educated rogue, the target has more technology than them, and the target can develop the deep sea, and the resources are above them.
This is a headache, not afraid that the hooligans will fight, but afraid that the hooligans are educated!
Dozens of deep-sea probes, several of which were closer to the base, but as soon as they entered a certain distance, suddenly, an invisible force controlled the probes and dragged them towards the base.
The sudden change startled the people who saw this scene!
In a conference room in Behemoth, looking at the picture transmitted back after many transfers, one person frowned and said, "Discovered?" ”
No one spoke, just stared at the picture.
The base in the picture is still the same, stretching into the deep sea, and there is no movement except for dragging away the probes.
After a long while, seeing that nothing else had happened, he said: "Shit, the target's technology surpasses ours, and it must have been discovered, but according to the information provided by Nadutong, as well as our analysis of the target's psychology, the target may not necessarily care." ”
Someone looked at the base that radiated light and illuminated the deep sea, and sighed in a low voice: "It's really advanced technology, this kind of technology should be in our hands, how can a madman master it?" ”
Many people agree that how can such technology be mastered by a madman, it should be mastered by them, and only in their hands can they exert the greatest value and obtain the greatest benefits.
They represent freedom and democracy, represent the most advanced civilization of mankind, and are the beacon of humanity.
The man sitting on the throne glanced at everyone and patted the table: "Gentlemen and ladies, put away your greed, now is not the time to think about these things, it is time to decide what to do with this base." ”
The crowd quickly restrained their expressions, and despite their greed, it didn't mean they were stupid, but rather very smart.
"First of all, we need to analyze how much of a threat this base poses to us. ”
"To be able to build such a base in the deep sea, not to mention all the technology, but there are definitely many aspects of the target that the technology has definitely surpassed us. So the question is, what is the purpose of the goal of building this base? What can he do with this base? ”
Everyone was in thought, and some of them turned extremely ugly, obviously thinking of something.
The man continued, "I can't guess what the purpose of the target is to build this base, but he has some ideas about what he can do with it. The target surpasses us in many ways, and on this point, I think there is no objection to everyone......"
"Since the target's technology is above ours, do you think it is possible for him to master the technology of nuclear weapons manufacturing?"
Happy Chinese New Year, everyone!
