Chapter 48
After opening his eyes, there was still darkness in front of Ye Zhou, only slight light blue flashes kept flashing in front of his eyes.
"Tu Xingsun No. [-], this is the Earth Temple, please report your situation."
There was a sudden shout in the earphones, Ye Zhou subconsciously stretched out his hand to the front console, turned on the communicator, and replied:
"Tu Xing Sun No. 16.2 received it, and it is in good condition. The depth is 363KM, it is close to the Moho surface, the surface temperature is 24 degrees Celsius, the cabin temperature is 112 degrees Celsius, the coating thickness of 'Xingyan' is 1 mm, and the loss rate is less than [-]% .”
A series of answers came out of his mouth, and Ye Zhou finally integrated the memory of the simulator in the simulator for the first time.
He knows where he is.
He is underground.
Moreover, it is not an ordinary underground, it is the underground reached by a huge cave with a depth of 18 kilometers excavated by the "Jiuyou" project, a giant domestic ground exploration project.
This is a depth that humans have never reached. Even Mao Xiongguo's most famous earth telescope project before that actually stopped at 13KM, which is still far away from the Moho surface where the site was originally selected.
The so-called Moho surface is actually the connecting surface between the crust and the mantle, with an average depth of about 30 kilometers, but the crust in some areas is thinner, and it may only take more than ten kilometers to reach the Moho surface from the land surface.
For example, the Turpan Basin where the Jiuyou project is located.
The detector named Tu Xingsun was still diving. Ye Zhou nervously watched the deep tunnel ahead on the screen, but there was nothing there.
In order to maximize the lifespan of the detector's equipment, all the equipment of the detector will be kept running at the lowest speed before reaching the limit depth --- especially the searchlight with super large lumens.
Therefore, there is only a bunch of small searchlights on the outside of the current detector, and the illumination range does not exceed 5 meters.
In the silence, the voice of the command above came again from the earphones.
"Received from the Earth Temple. The sonar feedback is good, the relay recovery chain is operating normally, and the relay engine is on standby. Please continue to dive and keep the communication channel open from now on."
"Tu Xingsun received it."
After answering, Ye Zhou didn't turn off the communicator. From now on, he knew that the last two kilometers across the Moho would be the most dangerous part of the entire survey.
The outside temperature will rise sharply from the current 400 degrees Celsius to over 1000 degrees Celsius. Even if this detector is covered with a ten-centimeter-thick star rock coating, it can only last at such a high temperature for 4 hours.
During these 4 hours, Ye Zhou had to complete all detection and sampling tasks.
The Tuxingsun probe continued to dive, and in the oppressive darkness, Ye Zhou's breathing became heavy unknowingly.
This is a depth to which man has never been.
Even in the previous drilling work, in fact, only relay hinges were used to carry automatic drilling machines. The deepest depth reached by the project team members was only 11 kilometers.
He is the forerunner of the entire China, and even the entire human race.
silence.
Ye Zhou had the illusion that he was not in the deep underground, but in the vast and boundless universe.
The blue and white dots that flash on those lights are the stars.
His sight unknowingly froze on those stars, and after a while, these stars converged into a huge vortex, as if a black hole appeared out of thin air, sucking all the stars into it.
Ye Zhou subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the vortex, but in the next second, a shout from the command center in the headset pulled him out of the hallucination.
"Tu Xingsun No. [-], please answer immediately, please answer immediately!"
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Ye Zhou's body. He quickly took a deep breath and replied:
"Tu Xing Sun No. [-] received! The current detector indicators are normal, but my physical condition seems to be a little abnormal."
He glanced at the monitoring screen of the life support system on his wrist, and it first showed that his heartbeat at that moment had reached an astonishing 140 beats per minute.
Generally speaking, this frequency only appears after strenuous exercise, but just now, he had been sitting in the cockpit without moving.
"Received by the Earth Temple, your vital signs are normal, but your heartbeat is too fast. Do you feel dizzy or sleepy?"
"I feel sleepy, but not dizzy."
"Received. At present, your blood oxygen and blood sugar levels are normal, and your brain wave activity is normal. I judge that your drowsiness should be normal-you may be tired."
Ye Zhou froze for a moment, then recalled the momentary hallucination just now, it seemed that it was really just a normal reaction before going to sleep.
".Maybe I'm really tired. After all, it's the first time. I was a little too nervous before, and my energy consumption was serious."
Ye Zhou said into the intercom.
"Understood, you try to stay awake, if necessary, you can add some energy drinks, it's on the shelf on your left hand side. Don't be too nervous, this is just a detection mission. When you come back, everyone will eat hot pot for you." You celebrate."
Hearing the command's words, Ye Zhou felt an ominous feeling in his heart.
If it's in a movie, saying something like "when you get back" means 100% that the person is going to die.
Flag can not stand randomly!
Especially at a time like this.
He reached for the energy drink, bit open the straw with his teeth, and was about to drink it when he raised his head to drink it. Suddenly, he noticed something unusual from the corner of his eye.
There is a black shadow on the screen, which seems to have not moved for a long time.
This is completely abnormal, and the excavation of the tunnel is not standard. It can even be said that under extremely limited conditions, the structure of this penetrating tunnel is extremely simple, and it is impossible to level it like a traffic tunnel.
So, even with a limited light source, you can actually see the changing shadows around the detector.
The only possibility is that the shadow followed the motion of the probe.
Ye Zhou frowned.
According to the current situation, it is speculated that either something fell on the detector and stuck to it, or there was something wrong with the external structure of the detector itself, so this small shadow was formed. The above are trivial matters.
He stretched out his hand to operate a few times on the keyboard instrument panel, transferred the control authority to the camera near the shadow, and then shook the joystick to turn the camera in the direction of the shadow.
Can't see anything.
The angle of the camera is limited, and even after reaching the extreme angle, what can be seen is nothing but a fixed shadow.
But the shape of this shadow.
Ye Zhou scratched his head.
It always feels a little familiar, but I can't think of what it is for a while.
Is there any external structure on the probe that would give it such a shape?
Hook?No, the hook claws should be well stored in the heat insulation compartment now.
cable?There is no relay cable for the last two kilometers, and the detector relies entirely on its own energy.
Just when he was puzzled, there was a slight vibration from the detector, and then, the sound of the propulsion motor gradually died down.
in the end.
Ye Zhou cheered up, first turned on all the lights, and turned all the detection equipment into full-load working conditions, and then operated the detector to release the claws. His eyes turned to the screen, intending to start monitoring the claws visually. operational status.
But upon seeing this, Ye Zhou's hairs stood on end.
Above the screen, there is a huge eye!
An eye that radiates golden light!
