Someone had to go again to this anomalous satellite aerial image. And this time, Wei Yuan will personally lead the team.

"Dr. Wei, with all due respect, if you go, if you go, there will be three long and two short ......" Wei Yuan is obviously the core figure of the scientific research institute, and he wants to take the risk himself, and the people above don't quite agree.

"If the spread of this black circle is real, it means that all of us may not be safe."

Wei Yuan's eyes were not optimistic.

And apparently only by figuring out the truth about what happened to the cave hotel and that mountain could it be possible to stop this spread.

Wei Yuan had already applied to the above, obviously he had to go this time.

Xiao Xu hesitated: "But how are you going to get over?" No plane wants to pass over that right now. ”

Now even normal passenger planes have to go around, and there are clear no-fly orders in various places.

"Don't fly." Wei Yuan shook his head and slowly spit out two words, "Drive." ”

Driving, driving? Xiao Xu was dumbfounded, "Doctor, that place is on a border with India N...... "He was afraid that Wei Yuan wouldn't be able to hear clearly, driving?" When will it be opened?

Wei Yuan was serious, and this time he was able to agree to lead the team in person, also because Wei Yuan submitted a very convincing report.

A week ago.

"Here's all the stuff on the internet about that cave hotel." Wei Yuan faced the experts of the scientific research institute in the conference room and showed the PPT on the projection.

You can see that all the furnishings and furnishings in the cave hotel, this is a rather medieval retro style hotel, everything is very antique, but it is obviously very in line with the aesthetics of modern people who like to hunt for curiosities.

Before the accident, the cave hotel was very difficult to book and was chronically full.

"What do you want us to see?" Finally, someone couldn't help but ask Wei Yuan.

Cloud visit scenic hotel? Who still has the mind at this time.

Wei Yuan switched PPT again: "This is the only few pictures sent back by the drone." What the interior of the hotel looks like now. ”

It took more than a dozen drones to lose the precious images before and after, and the budget for the next three years was lost.

In the photo, the lobby of the cave hotel is impressive, but the lobby scene is very different from the exotic cave wonder in the promotional photo.

The interior of the entire hotel lobby is pitch black. It looks like a real cave.

The drone took a very valuable photo under the night vision function, and it can be seen that the table at the front desk of the hotel lobby is crawling with cobwebs, a layer of black substance that I don't know what it is, wrapped around, and there are piles of things on the table that can no longer see the shape, until Wei Yuan put the two photos together before and after, and after comparison, he finally barely recognized it.

It was supposed to be a cashier computer, a video camera, and a telephone.

…… There is also a half-opened notepad next to it, and a pen that has fallen down, as if the waiter at the front desk has just opened the notebook and is about to register something.

Then the camera cuts to the ground, and I see that there are even several pools of black dust on the ground, and I can't tell what it is. It is reminiscent of some kind of "ashes" for a while.

"What is this?! ...... 'rusty'? Someone in the conference room was already starting to get creepy, and they couldn't help but blurt it out.

Of course, it can't be rust, but at that moment everyone seems to think only of similar adjectives.

In the photo, almost all parts of the lobby are covered with this black unknown substance, even the floor, walls, and ceiling......

Mainly, everyone here has seen the satellite image.

On the satellite image, the circle around the mountain and the hotel is an unexplained black "strange circle".

There was no blood on everyone's faces.

"Please take a closer look at these items." Wei Yuan was still zooming in on each item one by one: including the cash register on the table, the table and chair next to it, and the boxy thing in the corner that couldn't be seen.

Rust is an oxidation reaction that can only be done on metal, but everything in the hotel, except for the cash register, is barely considered metal, and the others include tables, chairs, and luggage, how can these be rusty?

The drone also recorded an ancient clock on the wall.

Wei Yuan said: "Cash register, telephone, wall clock, marble floor...... Different items are 'eroded' to different degrees. ”

Erosion, for the time being, is called some kind of "erosion".

No one in the room spoke, and no one came to refute this specious "term".

And the photos taken by the drone still have a fairly high accuracy, after zooming in, these seemingly ordinary items, the black substance covered on them is indeed very significant.

"And what does that mean?" An elderly man sitting in the front row frowned slightly, and his voice was majestic. He was the only one other than Wei Yuan who was calm.

In fact, these items really don't seem to be related at all, they just can't be hit, even if there is a difference in the degree of erosion, what can it mean?

Wei Yuan slowly turned his wheelchair and faced the people in the conference room.

"What I'm saying below is just my guess," Wei Yuan looked at these people, each of whom was a person who had overcome difficulties in his own field, and they were all staring at him at this time, "The only connection between these items is the distance of their existence. ”

When the words fell, there was no sound in the conference room, and everyone seemed to be unable to breathe.

This conclusion obviously left everyone stunned.

"The telephone was invented in 1860, the first computer was invented in 1946, the clock on the wall was donated by a nearby church two centuries ago, and marble is a substance that existed in the earth's crust hundreds of millions of years ago."

Wei Yuan said slowly, his voice still sounding very calm, recounting a conclusion that can be regarded as absurd and bizarre: "In the photo, as the most advanced computer equipment, it is almost completely covered by 'erosion', and the dial phone next to it can still see some outlines, as for the clock on the wall, when the photo is transmitted, the pendulum is still moving." The only thing that can still be seen in this lobby is the marble floor, and the most primitive cavern part of the wall. ”

"As for the piles of 'dust' that accumulated on the ground, they were the 'corpses' of the first few drones we sent out."

"All of the state-of-the-art reconnaissance equipment will be in ruins in this area - so I'm going to do an experiment, bring only the most basic items, all the electronics, and rely on the most primitive transportation equipment to search the mountains."

"I've compiled all the research results I've done over the years into a manuscript and submitted it, and if I don't come back, you can continue my research."

This is equivalent to contributing everything to the room, and no one in the room speaks.
