Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 138
It was an empty, huge underground cave.From the perspective of the robot dog that first reached the edge of the underground cave, it takes about 20 meters upward to reach the top of the cave, and nearly 50 meters forward to reach the opposite cliff.

Of course, the opposite cliff is not flat, it is also full of bumps.The distance of more than 50 meters is calculated based on the closest point.

If you go down, you don't know how many meters it is.Although the robot dog is equipped with a laser rangefinder, the environment here is too complicated, with bumps and twists everywhere, and a laser rangefinder that can only measure straight-line distances is not easy to use here.

At present, with the ability of the night vision device, it can barely see that there are still many cracks underneath.Some are wide and some are narrow, and they are equally crooked, and some lead to other places, and some lead to deeper underground.

The cave is humid and hot.Analysis of air composition shows that the oxygen content here is extremely low, but there are many toxic and harmful gases such as sulfide and chloride.

During the observation, the rest of the robot dogs also came to the edge of the core cave through different passages, and provided different angles of pictures for the people in the temporary headquarters from different perspectives.

At this moment, looking at this underground cave that may have existed since ancient times and has been isolated from the outside ecosystem for an unknown number of years, looking at it, it shows different shapes and colors under the night vision device, which is full of mystery Everyone fell into silence in the scene with the simple atmosphere.

This is most likely the birthplace of the fungus.Here, it is very likely that there is an independent ecology independent of the external ecosphere.

In ancient times, the ancestors of the fungus were isolated here from the outside world.In the long time, this cave may go deeper into the ground, or it may be slightly closer to the surface.Its internal environment, internal pattern, structure, etc. may also change countless times.There may be earthquakes, there will be underground rivers pouring in, and different gases will fill it. Every change is a disaster for the small ecology that exists inside.

But the horror bacteria living in it survived every disaster.They have spent a long time in continuous evolution, and under the command of "Lower God", they have once again obtained the opportunity to communicate with the outside world.

What exactly is Loushen?Where did it come from?How did it get into this underground ecology?

Could it be that Loushen is also a kind of ancient life, in the long evolution, it evolved wisdom and the ability to command terrorist bacteria?In other words, is it in a symbiotic relationship with the fungus?

Just like the legendary wolf and embarrassment, the wolf provides force and mobility, and the embarrassment provides intelligence. The two coexist in order to obtain more survival resources. The survival mode of the wolf and the embarrassment has long been proven in the face of modern technology. Pseudo, but this symbiotic model is not uncommon in nature.

So, is there such a relationship between Loushen and Horrors?
Is this the place where the horrific bacteria was born, is it the place where Loushen exists?
Putting away the little reverie in his heart, Lu Ming once again focused on the observation of this underground cave.

At this moment, under the shooting of dozens of robot dogs, although this underground cave is huge, most of its places have still been explored clearly.

There are six directions of front, back, left, right, up, down, only one "down", which cannot be found out because it is too deep.The remaining five directions all have detailed video materials.

Although the scene here is strange and mysterious, after watching for a long time, you can find that compared with other underground karst caves and rock caves, there is actually not much difference here.

The only place where there may be a difference, and the only place where the unknown still exists, is the place where the "House God" may exist, leaving only the lower part.

There, even if the robot dog's shooting ability is turned on to the highest level, it still can't see clearly.

Those cracks, those tortuous passages are like leading to hell, people just look at it and feel inexplicable palpitations in their hearts.

but……

The terrain here is too complicated, and there is too deep. With the ability of the robot dog, there is no way to go down.

"Can the robot dog be transformed to go down in ways such as rock climbing, abseiling, or simply fly down with a drone?"

The engineer thought about it for a long time before shaking his head full of shame: "The terrain is too complicated. With the current technology, it can't be done."

Zhang Dingshan tapped on the table lightly: "Since it can't be done, then throw these robot dogs down. It counts as much as you can take."

Lu Ming knew that Zhang Dingshan was planning to launch a "suicide investigation".

Robot dogs can't go down by rock climbing or rappelling, or flying, so just let them fall or roll down.Although this is bound to cause them to crash, there is always something to be photographed in the process of rolling or falling down, but not directly crashed.

This price is not small.

The robot dog exploring the underground cave at this moment has been specially customized and modified.However, even if it is a mass-produced model without special customization and modification, the cost of a robot dog with such performance is at least one million or more.

Now, the cost of this robot dog has climbed to at least 500 million each.

Twenty units is at least [-] million.

Now, Zhang Dingshan is going to throw the equipment worth at least [-] million yuan directly.

Even if Lu Ming has joined the second action team at this moment and can mobilize huge resources that were unimaginable in the past, he is still a little secretly scared at this moment.

On the other hand, He Wei turned a blind eye to this.

"I'm still a little petty." Lu Ming smiled bitterly in his heart: "Compared to this matter, a hundred million is really nothing."

Facing Zhang Dingshan's order, the engineer's expression paled for a moment, as if he was overwhelmed by Zhang Dingshan's generosity.It took him a while to react, and he answered yes with a little awe.

Under Zhang Dingshan's order, twenty robot dog operators issued corresponding orders at the same time.So the next moment, on the twenty screens, the originally stable images vibrated and tumbled violently at the same time.

Lu Ming seemed to have seen the picture of twenty expensive robot dogs rolling and falling in the underground cave, constantly colliding with rocks.This made him grin involuntarily, feeling a little distressed subconsciously.

The vibration and drop of the screen only lasted for a few seconds, and then one of the monitors turned black.

"The communication cable was torn."

The operator observed for a moment and gave the answer.

The communication cable was long enough, but it is now being torn, most likely because the cable drum is stuck and cannot release any more cable.

Under such a complex environment and such strong electromagnetic interference, if the cable is torn off, it means that it is no longer possible for one's side to communicate with that robot dog.Even if it can still capture something, it doesn't make sense.

After that, one after another, the screens began to turn black.

Every blackened screen means that a robot dog is completely destroyed.And their damage only resulted in a chaotic picture that lasted for a few seconds or less than a dozen seconds.

In less than half a minute, [-] of the [-] video screens turned black.There was only one left that was still lit.

This is a lucky robot dog.Even if it fell and hit for more than 20 seconds, it failed to completely destroy it, and it still maintained the ability to communicate with the outside world.

But the operator tried to operate it twice, and finally shook his head: "I can't move."

The picture presented at this moment is a dark and deep crack that seems to go straight to the ground.

Compared with the interior of the earth, perhaps humans know more about space.At this moment, the crack that appeared in front of people seemed to announce the infinite mystery hidden deep underground.

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "Call out all the pictures and check them frame by frame."

Twenty robot dogs took a total of about five and a half minutes of video during the fall.These videos are now being carefully observed by people with an unprecedented solemn attitude, carefully searching for valuable information that may exist in them.

But most of those pictures are very blurred and distorted, and it is impossible to tell what is photographed.

Under the violent movement and vibration, even a small stone may be distorted into a monster.Therefore, people had to introduce another set of special picture analysis system, combined with the movement state of the robot dog lens at that time, to restore these distorted pictures one by one.

This took several hours.After that, people finally saw the steep rock wall, the weird twisted stone pillars, the deep caves, and the still bottomless black cracks.

Strange as these scenarios were, they were obviously of little value.

Just when Lu Ming felt a little disappointed, He Wei suddenly cried out.

"Captain, Lu Ming, there is a discovery here!"

Lu Ming immediately turned his head to look, and he froze for a moment.

At this moment, the main body of the monitor screen is still a dark crack, leading directly to an unknown depth underground.But at the edge of the screen, there was something half exposed.

It was in mid-air, and it was obvious that it was not in contact with the rock wall.It has a cylindrical shape as a whole, with a diameter of about ten centimeters, and is slightly curved. On it, there seem to be many thin things like flagella or cilia extending out.

Although he could only see part of it, Lu Ming recognized it immediately.

During this period of time, Lu Ming was too familiar with this kind of thing.Under the microscope lens, in the screen, he has seen it countless times.

This is fungus!

However, the phobia is obviously a kind of microorganism, how could it be so big!How could it be captured by the camera of the robot dog?

The lens of the robot dog is not a microscope!

A diameter of more than ten centimeters, and a length of half a meter or even a meter... a giant horror?
How can this be? !
In particular, this thing seems to be suspended in mid-air?This thing can still fly?

At this moment, Lu Ming even felt that his three views had been subverted.

"Is there any more video material?"

Beside him, the engineer was already sweating on his forehead.Under his command, a dozen operators were scurrying through the rest of the footage.After some busy work, he wiped off his sweat and said, "Only robot dog No. 17 took a picture of this thing for about a second. After that, robot dog No. 17 fell into that underground crack."

"Bring the original picture."

This 970-millisecond screen was presented in front of Lu Ming.After pressing the play button, Lu Ming vaguely saw a fleeting shadow in the violently oscillating screen.

After slowing down, Lu Ming could see a section of the "giant fungus" slowly protruding from the edge of the screen, slowly extending, and then, with the change of shooting angle, it was slowly covered again and finally disappeared.

"Is it a problem with the shooting angle, or is this thing...moving?"

The engineer said: "It has been determined that it is a problem with the shooting angle. This thing didn't move."

Lu Ming looked at Zhang Dingshan and He Wei, and saw that their expressions were full of dignity.

Is this thing alive or dead?
If it is a living thing, how did this thing appear?What kind of life is it?Is it the Loushen?

Could it be that the relationship between Loushen and the fungus is similar to the relationship between the queen bee and ordinary bees, or the relationship between an ant queen and ordinary ants?

In this case, there seems to be an explanation for why this giant fungus is so huge.

In nature, the queen bee and queen bee are also much larger than their counterparts.

It's just that the "King of Bacteria" is too big, isn't it?
Is it because of its huge size that it has wisdom?Conscious?Can you command ordinary terrorists?
Or... It's a dead thing, but it looks similar to a fungus, but it's actually made of rock or other materials, like a sculpture or something?
But such a thing that can be determined to be exactly the same as a fungus by only a part is obviously impossible to be naturally generated.So, who sculpted it?
If it was an ancient person, how did he know what the fungus looked like in the age when there was no microscope?
At this moment, many conjectures flooded Lu Ming's mind in an instant.But he soon realized that such wild guesses were pointless.

At this moment, all we know about this thing is just this less than one-second video.However, without sufficient information, any guesswork is uncertain.

The detection must be carried out again, and more information on this thing must be obtained.

But... I'm afraid it won't work to rely on the robot dog.Existing technology cannot detect under the premise of such a complex environment.

He Wei took a deep breath and stood up.

"I'll go in and talk about this stuff for a while."

Lu Ming subconsciously wanted to stop it.

In any case, the situation is unknown at this moment, and it is too dangerous to face a potentially brand-new unknown life.

But before Lu Ming could say anything, he saw Zhang Dingshan nodded solemnly, and directly agreed with He Wei's suggestion.
