Chapter 1206: An Abandoned Laboratory Under the Yari Trench
Lin Chao started a new experiment, put a submarine in the sea, and brought some small animals down.
How did the first mutant appear? How did the first mutant appear? Could it be that both mutants and mutants are being blocked by the glaciers of the polar continents and waiting for global warming to come back?
Lin Chao and Ren Zhen discussed, mentioning a key point.
Shui Yuntian said that he and Rob City were born hundreds of years ago, and they were the first mutants.
Ren Zhen objected, "Isn't the old monster's mother the first mutant?"
Lin Lan said: "If you have a mother, you have to have a father, and the number of people is getting more and more like this." ”
He looked at the golden cicada grass coiled on the table again, and said, "Is it all the same for such a long golden cicada grass, will there be a special golden cicada grass that can provide something special?"
Ren Zhen asked rhetorically: "Don't you even know where the golden cicada grass came from?"
She stopped talking, and realized one thing, "Could it be that the golden cicada grass we see now is a defective or waste product, which falls off from the body, like the hair of a cat?"
Lin said: "This idea is good. ”
At present, the golden cicada grass they found grows to several hundred meters, but it still has no head or tail, I don't know where the golden cicada grass comes from, if you focus on the birthplace of the golden cicada grass, maybe you can crack the secret of mutation.
Experiments and the like were put aside first, and Lin Chao decided to lock on to the golden cicada grass.
Relying on him and Ren Zhen is definitely not enough, every organization is looking for golden cicada grass, it stands to reason that no one will reveal the location of such a precious item, but some organizations make a living by selling intelligence, such as destroying Luo, only if they can afford to pay a price, they may not be able to buy it.
Lin Chao asked Gu Siyu to contact Liu Hongying to purchase information about the Golden Cicada Grass regardless of the price.
......
The summer of 1024 came, and the situation for humanity was even worse, with a large number of mutant beasts appearing on the edge of the western continent where the Great American Federation is located.
The Great American Federation announced the withdrawal of military forces from the League of Nations to defend the Western Continent.
Since the disappearance of nuclear energy, most of the Mecha Warriors, the strongest mobile force of the Great American Federation, have also been abolished, and the main power used by mecha is miniature nuclear reactors.
In order to continue the glory of the mecha, the Great American Federation is developing a new power system, but the conventional armed forces of the Great American Federation are still very considerable, and the defensive posture of the tropical continent has become more tense after the departure of the coalition forces.
In the past, the goal of mutants was to compete with mechas, but when the mutant beasts first came out, the two sides were still competing, and there was no competition at all in the future, and the attack power of the mutant beasts was too strong, and humans were too busy to take care of themselves.
Under pressure, the Mutant Assembly successfully expanded.
Miro City, the capital of Miro Country, mutants from the Great Zhou Alliance, the Northern Yuan Empire, Izumo Country, Cangqi Country and other countries attended the first International Joint Conference of Mutants, and the slogan put forward was "Unite and move forward together".
The mutants of various countries accelerated their exchanges, and Daman Island also welcomed many guests, and Lin Chao did not show up, and it was Master Bert who successfully fused to come forward.
A rare few months of lull, and everyone is hurrying to it.
The monetary system was further reformed, and the previously graded crystalline coins were changed to a general-purpose crystalline, and the number of low-grade amethyst contained in a crystal coin was reduced.
Lin Ran spent 2 million crystal coins to get a message from Luo Luo that an abandoned laboratory located in the deep sea originally belonged to Rob City.
According to Liu Hongying, it took years of preparation after Luo Luo determined the location, but he still couldn't go deeper.
The laboratory is located at a depth of more than 8,000 meters under the sea, in the famous Yari Trench, the terrain in the sea is very complex, only a few major countries in the world can use deep-sea submersibles to investigate the Ari Trench, and of course they can't go down by destroying themselves.
Besides, the abandoned laboratory in Rob City will not leave data and reagents, and the golden cicada grass is deeper under the laboratory, and the cost will definitely not be recovered, so it is better to sell it.
"The lab in Rob City, it's worth a visit. ”
After Lin Chao made some preparations, he set off with Ren Zhen and Agu and flew along the sea.
Upon arrival at the scene, it was found that there was a fleet, and more than one group. He observed from a distance, there were people from the Great Zhou Alliance and the Northern Yuan Empire, and the two fleets seemed to be facing each other.
"That's interesting. ”
Lin Lan found that there were submersibles in both fleets, and immediately figured it out, and Luo Luo sold a few pieces of information, Liu Hongying sold it to him, and there were others who were selling.
He didn't care, others used submersibles, he went down by himself, faster.
Ren Zhen and Agu stayed on the sea to monitor the two fleets, and Lin Chao went down.
The icy waters were warm to him, and he put on his camouflage suit as before, swimming like a fish at the bottom of the sea.
There were two fleets on it, and Lin Chao didn't avoid it, no matter where he saw him, even if he thought something was wrong, he would think that the other party was playing tricks.
He even went downstream around the submersible of the Northern Yuan Empire, and the other party did not expel him.
The submersibles on both sides were less than a kilometer apart, and Lin Chao did not accelerate, but followed their speed.
However, the submersible cannot go directly to the abandoned laboratory, the specific location has not been determined on either side, and the search is still being carried out, and Lin Chao is not sure, so following them can save some trouble.
However, after working for a period of time, the submersible will have to go up, and it will take ten days and half a month to come down after the submersible, and there are a large number of probes floating on the bottom of the sea.
Lin Chao paid attention to the movement of the probe and searched around at a distance of 8,000 meters under the sea.
According to the intelligence, the laboratory is tens of thousands of square meters in size, built in the undersea mountain range, and it has been abandoned for more than ten years, as long as you find the corresponding mountain range, it is not difficult to find the laboratory.
At 12,000 meters deepest, the Arri Trench is the deepest known ocean, and it is one of the harshest areas on the planet due to its high water pressure, complete darkness, low temperatures, low oxygen levels, and lack of food resources.
Lin Lan actually found the sea cucumber and sighed the tenacity of vitality.
One day he saw a school of white shrimp with glowing backs coming up from above, swimming in groups to one place.
"It's a blind shrimp, an animal that lives in deep-sea craters and loves high temperatures. ”
Lin Ran's homework came in handy, and he followed behind to recognize them, blind shrimp have degraded eyes because they have lived at the bottom of the sea for a long time, and the luminous body on their back can sense distance, which is equivalent to having eyes on their backs.
Blind shrimp gather in the crater and can withstand hundreds of degrees of heat, Lin Lan saw that they were swimming very purposefully, and wondered if there was a volcano at the bottom of the sea.
Following the blind shrimps, Lin Ran saw them burrow into the black submarine mountains.
He walked around, found a place to break through the rocks, and only after he went in did he understand why the blind shrimp had come here.
There are artificial passages in the mountains, and the temperature is very high.
"I found the lab, but why is it that the lab that has been abandoned for more than ten years is hot. ”
Lin Chao swam along the passage, but it was still pitch black in front of him, and the sea in the mountains seemed to be isolated from the world, to the point where he could boil eggs.
Lin Chao himself is fine, but the disguise on his body is not good, so he simply puts it away and returns to his human form.
Go a kilometer deep inside, the light appears, not the bright light on the blind shrimp, at this time the sea temperature exceeds two hundred degrees, and Lin Chao has an idea, the waste is fake, in fact, Rob City is still operating.
However, he didn't encounter any reaction from the moment he broke the rock, and there should be no defense inside, if there are mutants or mutant beasts, it shouldn't be.
He continued to move forward, saw the blind shrimp swimming around, and did not hesitate to step forward.
"What's in there?"
Lin Lan felt that the temperature was rising faster and faster as he went, and he also felt that there was a huge hot object in front of him, and his curiosity became heavier.
After walking a few hundred meters, I saw all kinds of incomplete buildings and equipment parts.
"What's that?"
The temperature exceeded 700 degrees, and Lin Lan saw the weapon that emitted heat, a stone, a stone, a stone of less than fifty cubic meters was emitting heat that blind shrimp did not dare to approach.
The imprint on his left hand has begun to absorb the heat.
Closer, Lin Lan felt a familiar smell from the stones, which was the feeling of basking in the sun in winter.
"This is the sun created by Rob City?"
Shrouded in heat and light on all sides, there have been various theories about artificial suns before, but they are all very large, and there has never been an item as small as this one in front of me that bursts with such energy.
If you want the heat to burst, there must be a strong chemical reaction inside, such as non-stop nuclear fusion, but there is no here, and the stone will not move when it lies on the ground.
Lin Chaoxian didn't care about the stones, searched around, and there were indeed no valuable items like the intelligence, the houses had been destroyed, and so was the equipment, not to mention the experimental data.
After turning over the corners and corners, the unharvested forest returned to the stone, and saw a few broken leaves of the golden cicada grass, and couldn't help but suddenly realize that this is what attracts blind shrimp.
He deduced that after the people of Rob City withdrew, there were some fragments of golden cicada grass nearby that attracted the attention of the underwater creatures, but the continuous heat emitted by the stones prevented other animals from approaching, and only the blind shrimp went deeper and deeper with the characteristics of high temperature resistance.
The location of the golden cicada grass is below the laboratory, and Lin Chao is not in a hurry, so he will deal with the stones in front of him first.
He tried to get close and touch it with his right hand, and the flesh on his hand immediately fell off, the bones melted, and his whole body showed signs of weakness.
This is a pediatric for Lin Chao, and his body has reached the point where he can be recast if he has a strong qi.
"It's not just the heat but also the radioactive damage, could it be that Rob City has done a nuclear test on the bottom of the sea?"
The speed at which Tiangang's clone absorbs heat is very slow, indicating that the heat emitted by the stone is very strong, but with such a strong heat, why would Luo Bu City leave it here.
While absorbing, Lin Chao simply demolished the nearby ruins and broken walls to see if he could find anything.
"What is this?"
The hard work paid off, and Lin Ran found a sealed box in the wall.
He put the box into the small universe, waited for the sea to study again, and continued to search in the destruction, but found nothing more.
After a few days, the heat of the stone became smaller and smaller, and Lin Chao thought that it was absorbed, so he wanted to put it into the small universe, but he couldn't put it in.
The hint from the small universe is that this object is too energetic.
"And the heat?"
Lin Lan looked at the stone with a temperature of less than 100 degrees, and swam out in a bag, and put down the golden cicada grass in advance to dispose of the stone.
When he reached the surface of the sea and found Ren Zhen and Agu, they came to a reef, and the stone was already cold.
Listening to his narration, Ren Zhen was also very curious, and said: "The surface temperature is already lower than the normal temperature, but it still has a strong heat, and I have never heard of it." The book says that there is a type of stone that can absorb sunlight and then shine at night, that is, noctilucent stone, but this stone has the heat to raise the sea by hundreds of degrees, which is a miracle. ”
"I also don't think it's supposed to be a stone on the planet. ”
Lin Lan said, wondering if it could be from another world, just like Tiangang, maybe the stone contains the same substance as Gang Qi.
"I also found a box in the lab, hidden in a sturdy wall, probably left on purpose. ”
The box itself is unremarkable, with a membrane on the outside, stone on the inside, metal after the stone is removed, then plastic, and there is a wooden one, with a total of nine layers.
Lin Lan said: "The gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are complete, and nine is the extreme, and it seems that it is an extremely important item inside." ”
The nine layers of shell were removed, and Lin Chao opened in the shade, with only two items, a thin notebook and a hard drive.
He took out his computer to see what was on the hard drive, and Ren Zhen flipped through his notebook.
Of course, the hard disk is encrypted, which is not Lin Chao's specialty, and can only be kept for computer masters to crack.
The notebook is very simple, only a handful of retractions, Ren Zhen easily opened it, looked at it a few times and said, "Okay, the secret has been found, we don't need to guess." ”
After reading it, Lin Lan sighed: "No wonder it's so magical, it's actually an extraterrestrial meteorite." ”
The notebook was left by a staff member of Rob City, and it recorded the discovery process and subsequent follow-up of this meteorite named "Yin-Yang Stone".
That was in 995.
Rob City had spent decades researching and building a secret laboratory in the Ari Trench, and in 995 it detonated an undersea volcano, and the meteorite came out of the deep sea, which was unremarkable at the time, and was only considered an extraterrestrial meteorite because of the radioactive elements in outer space.
After the laboratory was operational, the staff member was in charge of the Onmyoji, so named because the meteorite was hot and cold.
After careful observation, there is a stream of energy in the Yin-Yang Stone that grows over time, but where that energy comes from and what it is cannot be detected.
Next, the energy growth data in the yin-yang stone was recorded for more than ten years, and it was recorded once a week, and no other special features of the meteorite were found in any way.
Later, because there were more suitable places to build a laboratory, the laboratory in the Arri Trench was abandoned, and he was responsible for leaving with the Yin-Yang Stone, and a hundred-meter-long mutant octopus appeared on the bottom of the sea, and no one could escape.
He returned to the lab with the Onmyolite, leaving a record of the complete observations of the Onmyolite on the hard drive.
The mutant octopus didn't let anyone go, and he could only sit and wait after he used his ability to put the box into the wall, and finally he wrote in his notebook that the Yin and Yang Stone was a magical stone, but no one else believed it.
Ren Zhen said: "If Luo Bucheng sends someone to go deep into the bottom of the sea again to get the Yin-Yang Stone, you can see the day when it shines, it seems that he will be able to say it in the future." ”
Lin Chao's observation role was different from Ren Zhen's, and he said, "What is confirmed now is that Luo Bucheng knew about the existence of large mutant beasts at least 10 years ago, but did not disclose it to the outside world. I haven't seen any mutant beasts during this time, and the mutant octopus may still be there. ”
