Chapter 118: The Edge of Loss
"Lao Zhang, what do you think?"
When Zhang Tianlin was thinking about what had just happened, he suddenly heard Bai Shutong's inquiry, and then realized that Lu Xuan's narration had ended. He glanced at Lu Xian, and there was no abnormality.
"It's a bit ......," Zhang Tianlin pondered, "It's incredible, but I think what he said is the truth, at least he's so artificial." β
Bai Shutong was a little puzzled by his last sentence, but on this occasion, it was not appropriate for the incumbent to continue to ask questions.
"Captain Lu, we can basically conclude now that you don't have a mental problem, but that there is something extra here." Zhang Tianlin said and pointed to his brain, "Or maybe it's hiding some information that you don't even know about." So, we want to ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Shutong said, "Study your brain." β
"Yes."
After saying that, the two stared at him intently.
"I'm afraid I don't have a choice!" Lu Xian said, with a mocking expression on his face.
"You can choose to say no, but that will complicate things a lot." Zhang Tianlin said with a smile.
Lu Xian did not hesitate at all, and said, "You can do whatever you want, I have no objection." β
"Okay, we'll let you know when we're ready."
......
At this time, the excavation of the alien spacecraft has been going on for two weeks, and the two excavation teams are working at the same time, and so far it is progressing quite well.
Zhou Ran and Yu Lie were entrusted with the important task of participating in the excavation work of the second group - the excavation of artificial ice tunnels.
In fact, from a safety point of view, in the early stage of excavation, this group has almost no risk, after all, it is working on the ground. However, the further down you dig, the more dignified the atmosphere of the excavation group becomes.
It's not that the work is more difficult, but it's a strange sight under the ice coverβice sculptures, totems, exactly the same style as in the ship's operation compartment.
There is no doubt that from here, the crucial excavation enters, as it means that the ship is not far away. However, the strange thing is that until this moment, the excavation work has been going smoothly, and no strange scenes have been encountered.
The ice sculptures and totems dug out from under the ice are stacked in a specific area, and there is no need to worry about how to preserve them, because they only need to be guaranteed not to melt, and Antarctica fully meets this requirement.
A month into the excavation, there were countless ice sculptures in all shapes, many taller than humans, and some even had tails.
Combining the above factors, Zhou Ran and Yu Lie concluded that these ice sculptures were aliens, and the size of the various equipment in the operation cabin also happened to verify this view.
As for the totems, they are more similar to those in the operation cabin, like carved out of a mold.
Immediately, a problem arose, if these ice sculptures and totems were all artificially carved, it would be absolutely impossible for Lu Xuan to complete them alone!
Could it be that Lu Instant lied? Or is he not alone?
Both Zhou Ran and Yu Lie were aware of the problem, but because there was no better explanation, they could only put it aside for the time being and continue to push forward with the excavation work.
The further down you dig, the less ice there is, and slowly until it disappears.
At this time, the black hard stone wall finally appeared, but strange things began to happen.
First of all, the rocks are hard across the board, and no soft rocks have been found; Secondly, they used a precise positioning system during the excavation process, but when they dug to the location of the "door", they did not notice its existence.
In the end, it wasn't just the gate that didn't appear, but when they expanded the excavation, none of the doors appeared.
Without a door, it means that you can't enter the ship, you can't crack the secrets inside, and even if you have a "key", it won't help.
"Maybe the scope of the excavation is not big enough," Zhou Ran said to Lie, "I suggest extending it to both sides, anyway, we must clean it all up." β
However, Yu Lie put forward a different opinion.
"I think we have to find that door first, because we can come out of there and get familiar with what's going on inside, and we can reduce the risk."
However, Zhou Ran still insisted on his opinion.
"Professor Zhou, think about it," Yu Lie argued, "the alien spacecraft is so big, there must be more than one operation module. If we strayed into another cabin again, would that tragedy happen again? β
Yu Lie's words reminded Zhou Ran, however, he believed that this time Lu Instant was not present, so he would not be able to activate the switch on the sphere or the equipment in the spaceship.
In this way, there is no risk.
However, Yu Lie did not back down this time, he didn't want the tragedy to happen again.
In the end, the commander-in-chief Li Liang made a final decision and decided to excavate a large area. But he demanded that he not enter the spaceship without confirming safety!
Both of them had to obey such a decision, and the super excavator began to extend the excavation in all directions......
When Lu Xian saw Zhang Tianlin and Bai Shu again, it was already a week later, and it was in a high-end sterile operating room. It was not so much an operating room as a laboratory, and he probably understood what they were going to do.
"Lu Xian, we already said last time that we are going to study your brain, do you have any opinions?" Zhang Tianlin asked.
"Hehe, does my opinion matter?" Lu Xian said and looked at the two of them in turn, "Or, is my opinion useful?" β
"Of course it works," Bai Shutong said, "if you don't agree......
Without waiting for Bai Shutong to finish speaking, Lu instantly interrupted what he was about to say next.
"Totally agree, let's get started!"
"Do we need to explain this procedure to you again?" Zhang Tianlin asked.
"Hmm," Lu Xuan groaned slightly, "'Brain slicing' and 'Gene Devouring' surgery, right?" β
"Yes."
"No, let's get started."
With the effect of the anesthetic, Lu instantly gradually lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep. Bai Shutong picked up the scalpel, drew a dividing line along the brain in advance, and carefully cut it in......
When the scalpel was about to touch the brain tissue that was about to be removed, Bai Shutong suddenly thought of the scene of operating on Yang Baiwen. The same operation, the same mood, the difference is that there are different people lying under the scalpel.
At that time, Yang Baiwen had already had abnormal brain waves, but it was not clear before the operation. Bai Shu still used an ordinary scalpel, but after three attempts, he was stunned that he did not cut off any brain tissue. It wasn't until later that I switched to an electron-light knife that the slicing was successfully completed.
According to what Lu Xian said, it can already be concluded that the brain waves are abnormal, and the brain tissue has a strong sense of self-defense, and ordinary scalpels will definitely not be able to complete the slicing.
"I should have gone straight to the electron light knife." Bai Shu thought to himself.
However, since you're all set, let's try it first.
However, to his surprise, when the scalpel touched the brain tissue, it did not happen as he expected - the scalpel was bounced open, and the slice was easily completed.
Seeing this scene, Bai Shutong was immediately stunned.
"How is this possible?" He couldn't help but speak.
"Professor, what's wrong?" The assistant next to him asked in a low voice.
"Nothing, go ahead."
When the analysis results of the sliced tissue came out, Bai Shutong was completely dumbfounded, because the peak of Lu Xian's EEG was normal and did not turn, which meant that his brain waves were not abnormal!
In the face of the facts, all inferences were untenable, and Bai Shutong's brain went blank.
"What's wrong, Professor Bai?"
Just when Bai Shutong was sitting lonely on the chair in a daze, Zhang Tianlin came in. When he saw Bai Shutong's expression, he guessed that something bad might have happened.
Sure enough, Bai Shutong slowly raised his head and said in frustration: "Wrong, all wrong......"
"What?"
Bai Shutong shook his head, as if he was in mourning, and handed over the EEG in his hand.
"See for yourself!"
Although Zhang Tianlin is not a brain expert, he can still understand the electroencephalogram, and when his eyes wander from the peak of the electroencephalogram, he also shows the same expression as this brain expert.
"Impossible!" Zhang Tianlin could not accept this result.
"Don't say it's you, and I don't believe it either, but it turns out we're wrong." Bai Shu is like a deflated ball.
"If our speculation is not correct, then how can Lu Xuan's situation be explained?" Zhang Tianlin said, "Is he really suffering from a mental illness? β
At this time, the two of them were confused, Lu Xianming was in the same situation as Yang Baiwen and those astronauts, why did there be different results? Could it be that there is a problem with the instrument?
Bai Shutong didn't reply, but suddenly stood up, startling Zhang Tianlin and the other two assistants.
"Test again."
The two assistants were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly put on the sterile overalls they had just changed out of, and walked into the laboratory to test again.
When the results of the experiment were handed to Bai Shutong again, his eyes flashed with despair.
"Same ......"
Zhang Tianlin pulled over the two EEGs and compared them carefully, and did not let go of each peak.
He was right, he had more trust in his vision than ever since he had been injected with the latest biologics.
That's right, the result is just as Bai Shutong said, the two EEGs are exactly the same.
Zhang Tianlin let out a long sigh, slowly sat down in the chair, and said nothing.
At this time, the silence is like a torrential rain, engulfing everything that comes in front of you. And, leave no trace.
The two EEGs in his hand showed that there was no problem with the experimental results, and Lu Xian's brain waves were not abnormal, which meant that he had nothing to do with aliens, so how could he turn on the switch on the ball?
At this time, an idea squeezed into Zhang Tianlin's brain: "Could it be that Zhou Ran and Yu Lie are lying?" β
However, he soon realized that the idea was so ridiculous that it shouldn't have come to his mind at all!
Just when the two old men were at a loss, an assistant in the laboratory exclaimed excitedly: "Ah! Professor, Dean Zhang, come and see! β
