The Earth People are so Fierce

Speaking of this unpredictable maze, Lei Zongchao's facial muscles twitched again.

For a moment, Meng Chao felt that his life's magnetic field had become extremely unstable, and his figure was also vague, as if he was about to split into various possibilities.

Fortunately, he took a deep breath and stabilized again.

"The process of exploring the ancient ruins is somewhat similar to diving into the deep sea. The more you dive, the greater the pressure you will endure."

Lei Zong calmed his mind and continued, "On the seabed tens of thousands of meters deep, it is equivalent to the weight of tens of thousands of elephants standing on the tip of a needle. It can completely squash the main battle tanks and can withstand the frontal bombardment of rockets. The power armor is as vulnerable as a can.

"In the depths of the Archaic Relics, there is also a mental pressure similar to water pressure. The more you explore, the greater the mental pressure, the mental index plummets in minutes, and the mental breakdown.

"Five hundred to one kilometer underground is the limit that human technology and realm can explore.

"Explors who are active in this area are like divers who are active in the deep sea and are called'deep divers.'

"Deep divers are the most dangerous profession in the entire Dragon City. They are a hundred times more dangerous than hunters who face the beasts of the doomsday. They will encounter indescribable and indefensible mysteries at any time in the underground for thousands of meters.

"What's more terrifying is that after reaching the extreme depth, mysterious sounds and fragmented lights and shadows often appear in the brains of deep dives, like the charm of the banshee singing, attracting them to continue to go deeper into the ancient ruins. .

"One thousand and five hundred meters, two kilometers, three kilometers...

"If it is said that activities between five hundred meters and one thousand meters underground, for deep divers, it is a'nine death'.

"Diving deeper into the ground is sure to die.

"I once teamed up with a deep diver to explore the ancient ruins 800 meters underground. As a result, the teammate heard the mysterious call, stumbled, and followed a downward sloping gap, deepening more than a thousand underground. Meter.

"At that time, all the deep divers were dragged and blended with spar powder and monster bone meal. The soft and tough safety rope found that the teammates disappeared deep in the seam. We desperately pulled back, rather called He was wounded all over his body in the process of being pulled back, and he was going to save his life.

"However, it was too late.

"When we took five minutes to pull our teammate up from the gap, he has become a rock."

"what?"

Meng Chao couldn't believe it, "a...a stone?"

"To be more precise, it is a stone sculpture that is lifelike and vivid. The facial expressions, body details and even the folds on the clothes are exactly the same as him. Even the safety rope is tied to him intact."

The corners of Lei Zongchao's eyes twitched, and his voice froze, "And his facial expression will always stay at an extremely horrified moment-I have never seen anyone in my life show'fear' so vividly, People didn't even dare to think about what he saw in just a few minutes of being lost in the depths of the ground."

Meng Chao's brain stings.

Countless strange light and shadow fragments appeared in front of him.

They are all terrifying projections of otherworldly gods and demons.

He had to admit that compared with otherworldly gods and demons, the so-called "monsters" were really delicate and harmless to humans and animals.

Is the existence in the depths of the ancient ruins more terrifying than the otherworldly gods and demons?

In other words, what kind of relationship is there between the ancient ruins and the gods and demons in other worlds?

"This deep diver is lucky. At least, he turned into a stone sculpture in an instant. Apart from a moment of fear, he should not endure more torture and pain, but other deep divers may not."

Lei Zongchao continued, "Some deep dives were bewitched by the summons in their brains and went deep into the crevices in the ground. No one knows if they went straight into hell.

"Some deep dives struggled to escape, but had a nervous breakdown. They danced frantically all day, singing babbles that no one could understand.

"There are also deep divers who are healthy on the surface and sound minded, and can also pass the spiritual test. The spiritual index has always been stable between 80 and 120, returning to normal human society.

"But no one knows that they have become untimely bombs. Once they explode, they will become the most terrible lost people. They will go crazy, obliterate humanity, and commit horrific murders.

"After countless tragedies, and watching countless very good and promising young people have accidents during the exploration process, we have to control or even eliminate them with tears, the scientists and Xeons of Dragon City It was unanimously concluded that the archaic relics below the ground kilometer are not something that can be explored and analyzed by today's earth technology. We should seal them up and leave them to more intelligent and powerful future generations.

"At present, the main scope of exploration and research of the Heritage Research Institute is within 500 meters of the underground of the Archaic Relics.

"Even the Swire technology hidden in the shallow ground is not something we can completely digest and absorb in a short while. Many so-called'black technologies' are in a black box state. We can use and copy them, but we can't analyze their principles. ——This kind of gap in basic science may take three to five hundred years and astronomical funds, plus countless clever minds, to make up and catch up.

"It's a pity that time, money and smart minds are all things we are very short of.

"The current Dragon City is still in the midst of a precarious survival crisis. What we need are more practical weapons and cultivation methods that can be used, not the illusory ancient secrets."

Meng Chao nodded.

He understands this very well.

Even if the sphere of influence is extended to the entire Monster Mountain Range, the resources of the Dragon City civilization are still quite scarce. The cake is so big, if you eat one more piece, I can only eat one less.

The budget invested in the research and development of the super armored airship is a bit more, and the budget invested in the controllable crossing technology project is a bit less.

The research and development of the super armored airship is clear and controllable at any rate. As long as a lot of money is invested, it will surely yield results.

As long as you equip a large number of super armored airships, you can rush out of the monster mountain range and grab a hundred times the resources for the Dragon City, and the profit rate is extremely high.

Therefore, the nine super enterprises are all willing to invest in super armored airship projects.

However, the uncertainty of the controllable traversal technology is too great and consumes too many resources.

Although "freely shuttle between the earth and the other world" sounds very good, but who knows when the vision that has been blown up and down will come true?

If the R&D fails, the astronomical budget and resources will be in vain.

This is not just a question of investors losing money.

It may even lead to the financial collapse of the Survival Committee, postpone the pace of Longcheng's external expansion, and miss the golden period of strategic opportunities!

Therefore, the nine super enterprises and survival committees have been half-hearted about the controllable crossing technology project team, and a large part of the funds must be raised by the project team.

The controllable traversal technology is already one of all Swire technologies that humans can understand and are more practical.

Two birds in the forest are not as good as one bird in hand.

Since the current Swire technology has been enough for the people of the earth to study for a while, the cost and risk of continuing to explore downward is unbearable, and temporarily sealing it seems to be the most reasonable choice.

"If you want to enter the ancient ruins to visit and practice, I can guarantee you a pass with a higher authority, allowing you to move freely in the shallow underground within three to five hundred meters, after decades of exploration , Our security at this depth is relatively guaranteed."

Lei Zongchao said, "However, as we have said, the risk factor of going deep into the Archaic Relics is extremely high. Every time you go to a level, you must undergo relevant tests and training. Even so, 100% safety cannot be guaranteed.

"If strange sounds and images really pop up in your mind, attracting you to dive deep, and eventually become entangled by mysterious powers and become a half-human and non-ghost monster, then, even if you have made countless battles, yes Dragon City's youngest blood medal winner, we will also eliminate you without hesitation, and I will even take action personally to give you a happy one.

"Understand this, do you still want to go deep into the ancient ruins?"

Meng Chao pondered for a moment.

Xin said, in the depths of my brain, "countless weird sounds and images have emerged".

It is imperative to travel to the ancient ruins.

It's not that he is not greedy enough to swallow the elephant, and wants to instantly understand all the mysteries of the ancient civilization.

However, there are two things that must be clarified.

The first is the mystery of own rebirth.

"Soul Broken Blade" Luo Wu's son Luo Hai once told him that on the eve of the college entrance examination, at noon on the day he returned from the doomsday, there had been a big explosion in the Ruins Research Institute under the Transcendent Tower.

It seems that a laboratory and the project team members in it were all blown to pieces.

Meng Chao doesn't believe in coincidences.

He believes that as long as the laboratory can be rebuilt, it is possible to crack the mystery of rebirth.

The second is the "curse of the ancient times", which is a cross-eyed tattoo.

He wanted to know what the so-called "curse" was.

There are no other side effects besides awakening the "blood" after implanting cross-cross eye tattoos.

The way to break the curse, is it true that the cross-eyed implanters will kill each other until the last term?

It is about the safety and happiness of the little sister Bai Jiacao.

No matter how dangerous it is, he will figure it out!

Thinking of this, Meng Chao nodded heavily.

"Master Lei, thank you for your reminder, but I still want to go deep into the archaic relics and take a look at this power that has completely changed the face of human civilization."

Meng Chao said seriously, "I will be responsible for my actions and will not cause any trouble to anyone."

"I believe this, Meng Chao."

Lei Zongchao smiled slightly, stretched out a finger, and said, "Then, shall we make a deal?"
