Chapter 175 Replicant Patch
"We still have a lot of time, just wait.
Yes or no, yes or no, it's not something I can arbitrarily judge.
The danger of this ancient mausoleum is actually beyond the height of tomb thieves to some extent.
Watching it is more like a process of showing off skills and contesting.
In addition, the reason why Sima Tian was able to survive and finally reach the vicinity of the replica machine may also be the overall concept of the mausoleum designer Dao Cunyi.
The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and people escape one of them.
Since the designer of the mausoleum left a way out of nine deaths, this way out is left with sympathy, which is a kind of respect for the opponents who will be equal in the future. ”
Bai Ning has already drawn the topic to the interpretation of the character of the mausoleum builder, in his interpretation, the original mausoleum builder can be described as a lonely man who seeks defeat.
Since the world is invincible, there is a desire to compete with the people of the next generation, and if the interlocutor wins, he can get a glimmer of life.
This is the elegant demeanor of a strong man, and to some extent, it seems that he also wants to pass on some exclusive secrets to those who come after him.
"You said that a strong knowledge inheritance requires smart people, but the population base of that era was insufficient, and it was difficult to produce extremely smart people.
If there really is some ancient heritage in this mausoleum, do you think it will be related to what you are after? ”
Inspired by Bai Ning, Jiang Yingxue also had a greater longing for the secrets that might be hidden in this mausoleum.
If the Western Queen Mother clan is really a remnant of the Fourth Civilization, then in this ancient mausoleum, there may be a strong reserve of scientific and technological knowledge in the Fourth Civilization.
Not only the technology of the replicant, but also the various knowledge reserves related to it.
This kind of thing is far more attractive than a dried fruit in a metal box.
"There is a limit to the truth that exists in this world, and human beings have similar emotions and desires, and their questions about the world are not much different, and the things they pursue are often similar.
I'm expecting to be able to find answers to some things here, but really don't expect too much from them. ”
Looking at Sima Tian, the clone who had been completely exhausted, it seemed that he could already smell a slight smell of corpses for such a short time.
With the complete death of the clone, the camp has become more busy, Bai Ning has increased manpower to monitor the movement in the stone forest area, and the drones are all on standby, and the infrared scanning is on display throughout the whole process to monitor the movement in the stone forest.
Bai Ning, who couldn't go to bed early at all, personally stared at the drone screen, quietly waiting for the possible replica No. 2.
After the initial commotion, the camp gradually fell silent in the middle of the night, and there was no noise except for the sound of drones returning to replace batteries.
Liu Cheng spun the chicken on the side under the pretext of working overtime, looking like he was satisfied with the years.
It seems that all the commotion is just a longing in Bai Ning's heart, and after this kind of momentum is over, then everything that exists will return to the most ordinary rhythm of life.
Ordinary camp tents, ordinary desert nights, ordinary nights are as cool as water.
If the normal rhythm was followed, Bai Ning at this time should gradually fall drowsy in boredom, and finally wake up in the chair to meet the scorching sand sea air flow that poured into the tent the next day.
Staring at the stone forest that was silent, Bai Ning also had some doubts in the tranquility of the night, believing that he was not too sensitive.
He said not to expect too much from it, but his body was very honest, and he had to find a second replica in this impossible stone forest.
The long night will not change because of any longing of human beings, and Bai Ning seems to be drowsy in this boredom and boredom.
This natural sleepiness made Bai Ning suddenly startled.
No, no matter how boring the night was, he wouldn't be able to doze off.
looked around sharply and found that there was only one Liu Cheng in this tent, and Liu Cheng was still asleep.
It's hard to imagine how a foodie like him could fall asleep while eating?!
After listening quietly, I found that the whole camp was very quiet, and I looked at the drone screen on the screen, and I shot the perspective from the top very normally, and there was no problem.
Wrong.
The number of drones is wrong, a few less!
There is no sound of drones taking off and landing in the camp, which is very strange.
Quickly pushed Liu Cheng awake, Bai Ning took him out of the tent quickly, and the moonlight outside the tent was dim and hazy, making the whole camp look a little dark and clammy and cold.
After a few glances around, it was indeed a little terrifyingly quiet.
Liu Cheng wanted to ask something, but was immediately interrupted by Bai Ning.
Quickly go to the direction where the drone is located, and find that the lost drone is quietly falling to the ground, and the low battery indicator is flashing constantly, reminding the operator to charge it in time.
But all the bodyguards responsible for operating the drone were all lying on the ground silently at this time, as if they were asleep.
What is it that can make dozens of people in the entire camp fall asleep silently?
Bai Ning glanced in the direction of the stone forest, and the first object of suspicion was the relevant mechanism in the mausoleum.
However, if this mausoleum has such a powerful coping mechanism, then there is no need to set up any external anti-tomb robbery mechanism, just let the tomb robbers in, anyway, it will end up sleeping to death.
"Boss, have you noticed that something stinks?"
Just as he was puzzled, Liu Cheng suddenly leaned over and whispered a low estimate, which surprised Bai Ning.
In the next moment, Bai Ning suddenly thought of the dead clone.
If the death of the clone can be actively controlled by its own consciousness, then it doesn't seem strange to use the clone's body to carry out some biochemical attacks.
"Let's go. Go get a gas mask. ”
The anti-poison and anti-biochemical equipment had been taken out before, and Bai Ning and the others quickly finished putting them on.
Returning to the camp where the clone was located, the personnel in charge of guarding it appeared even more embarrassed, all in a deep coma.
It took a lot of effort for Bai Ning to cooperate with Liu Cheng to transfer these people.
When the tent was opened, even with a gas mask on, a faint rancid smell still penetrated his nose.
The rancid gas in the tent, even through the glass lens, Bai Ning seemed to be able to sense its powerful irritation.
It's hard to imagine that just a few hours later, the remains of the clones were already highly decomposed.
This progress of decay indicates that while the replicat is alive, the cells inside it have begun to decay and collapse.
Even in the body of the replicat, there are specific viruses and bacteria that help the corpse to decay and deteriorate quickly, and produce a large amount of toxic and harmful gases.
The main toxic gases of the decomposing corpses were ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, even though hydrogen sulfide had the effect of suppressing the central nervous system, Bai Ning did not believe that hydrogen sulfide could make the entire camp fall into a state of silent sleep.
The rapid decay that occurred on the clones at this time reminded Bai Ning of the giant reindeer he had encountered in the Tunguska Jungle.
The blood of the giant reindeer that was killed was also extremely fishy, and it could also break down proteins, turning them into toxic polypeptides, which eventually formed aerosols and floated in the air.
The rapid decomposition of the clone's corpses presumably produced such toxic aerosols, which eventually plunged the entire camp into a silent slumber.
"Find a box and pack it up."
With the disappearance of the source of the toxic polypeptide, the personnel in the entire camp have also awakened one after another, and the minds of those who are closer to the source of the corpse have fallen into a drowsy, which makes the number of people who can work even less.
I don't know if it's because of the weakening of the surveillance force, but no replicants were found to come out of the stone forest that night.
During the daytime the next day, the stone forest was still quiet, and there was no trace of replicants.
During this period, Bai Ning reopened the box containing the replicants in a safe place, and the bones inside had completely turned into a puddle of black water, and there were not even bones left.
At this time, the whole box is like a petri dish for growing bacteria, and the good temperature in the desert area allows it to ferment well.
Faced with this pile of meaningless things, Bai Ning asked people to dig a deep pit and bury it.
As the liquid inside the box gradually dries up, turning into a puddle of the most common inorganic salt, the clone Sima Tian, an organic life form that existed in this world for a short time, will also lose the only trace of his existence.
"Do you think there may be any clones coming out?"
On the way back to the camp, Jiang Yingxue asked this question.
A knowingly inquiring attitude, representing her negative attitude, not believing that there will be any more replicas.
"I don't know.
Based on the current knowledge of the mausoleum, there is a high probability that there will be no more replicas. ”
Bai Ning glanced at the dreary stone forest not far away, and gave the same answer.
"Since waiting is pointless, and casual rashness will lead to unpredictable losses, can we just continue to sit where we are and wait?
Even if the Extreme Cold Expedition Equipment is delivered, if we encounter a new danger in the mausoleum, some dangers that cannot be successfully overcome by relying on our current equipment, do we have to wait forever?
If the way this mausoleum stops the robbers is a completely different kind of difficulty, how much time do you think we will spend on this mausoleum? ”
Jiang Yingxue asked this question, not necessarily thinking about the cost of time, let alone the cost of money, but a prediction of the established difficulties.
The previously appearing clones are not only highly functional and intact, but can also be quickly destroyed after death, and the process of destruction can also produce toxic gases.
Such a powerful genetic weapon, but it is only used as a one-time consumable, which is not a general spend-of-money from a rational level.
