Colonel Xiong Shou's words were difficult for everyone to accept, and they fit the stereotype of him being inarticulate.
However, Yunbo's response was even more shocking: "Since the beginning of the campaign, the department has already received four 'Qi Ying's. Have you ever thought about changing your taste?"
"..."
Ronan grinned. After all, this topic revolved around him. After a slightly awkward silence, he tried to discuss the matter and talked about technical issues:
"The depth of 70 kilometers has had a lot of impact on the current 'ant nest' design. If you want to get down to the conversion layer, it will be difficult to do it in five days."
He was not waiting for an opportunity to negotiate for conditions; what he said was all true.
The asteroid Tonghuan-28758 has a core structure inherited from giant planets. Its geological activity is more active than most asteroids of the same size, and its deep environment is also harsher. According to the current detection results, the temperature of the transition layer between the mantle and the core is about 1700K, and the pressure reaches 50,000 standard atmospheres. A centimeter-scale gadget like the "Vulcan-2" has to withstand almost 50 tons of pressure. weight, as well as various powerful radiations that directly destroy the genetic chain.
An ordinary person would never be able to survive in that kind of environment. Ronan's attempt to do on-the-spot surveys was all delusion.
Speaking of which, if you can't pass the test of Bufa, and you can't cultivate the essence of the root, then there's no need to mention anything.
Ronan sighed.
Yun Bo laughed: "So the Five Heroes Medal can't buy back the self-esteem of a scientific researcher?"
"No, I was just thinking about the matter of Bufa." Ronan made no secret of it, and had nothing to hide.
When Yun Bo heard this, he had no choice but to say: "The method of spreading is absolutely critical... This is an innate factor, an innate factor of your species. You can only do it step by step."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong He, who had almost dived to the depth of the "ant nest" again, suddenly said: "There is no need to pursue perfection."
Yun Bo sneered at this: "Imperfect, are you like you? Mr. Ant Queen is the hope of the whole village at first glance. If he goes astray, everyone behind him will fall. You must be cautious."
Zhong He stopped talking.
Colonel Gong Shenmang also joined in this topic and said concisely and concisely: "On the battlefield, you rely on your strengths to make a living."
Colonel Xiong Shang sneered: "You are seeking death based on your weakness."
Gong Shenmang spoke slowly: "If this happens, all colleagues must reflect on themselves from top to bottom: Why are you not allowed to work alone, but to act in teams?"
"Reflection cannot revive a person."
Yun Bo muttered, and before Gong Shenmang's eyes turned over, he greeted Zhong He in a serious manner: "The third wave of convection is coming soon. Do you have any problems there?"
Colonel Zhong He's voice came back calmly: "Yes."
"Um?"
"I found fire rock squids, and there are a lot of them. Please help me."
Everyone inside and outside Unit 3 was stunned for a moment.
Zhong He's expression was really an understatement, but maybe he had to do so.
"Is it the Fire Squid?" Colonel Gong Shenmang asked emphatically.
"yes, I'm sure."
"What stage?"
"It should still be a larvae at the moment, but I'm not sure if there are any larger ones around."
Fire rock squid?
Ronan didn't hear it clearly at first, or the pronunciation and concept he understood didn't match. It wasn't until Gong Shenmang asked for the second time that he remembered the relevant information. It was also the information he had just come across during the emergency induction training in the past two days:
There are some dangerous factors that require special attention in the asteroid formation area.
You must know that in the mantle area tens of kilometers deep underground, the high temperature and high pressure environment is enough to drive away most of the "little shrimps". But anything that can stay here and remain active must be very troublesome, such as...
Fire rock squid.
Unlike the "fantasy Vulcan Ant" talked about by Ronan Hu, this "extraterritorial species" that is particularly active in high-temperature and high-pressure areas is the compatriot or relative of the "Hell Tyrant" that everyone highly suspects.
The conditions for this type of "extraterritorial species" to cross borders are quite particular. Only an extremely active high-temperature stratigraphic environment similar to that of the asteroid Tonghuan-28758 will attract its arrival. Moreover, the larvae that arrive are always relatively fragile and cannot survive in too harsh an environment. They must quickly absorb heat energy in a suitable high-temperature and high-pressure environment and grow to a certain stage, or the geothermal heat is not enough to support their growth before they leave and look for the next place. A goal.
As for what will happen to the planet after it rapidly loses its core heat energy... Anyway, after the light-containing galaxy suffered two losses, it definitely doesn't want to suffer another one.
According to Ronan's study materials, the current standing patrol fleet in the light galaxy is to eliminate extraterrestrial species like "fire rock squid" that will cause great and irreversible damage to the galaxy environment - like this Once this level of destruction of the ecological environment takes hold, the survivors of Tianyuan, who are trapped in the light-containing galaxy and unable to move, may really have no place to stand.
Fire rock squids like to absorb energy from the external environment so much, so once they are entangled by them, the little energy in the human body is simply not enough to support that terrifying "energy absorbing disk". Yes, there is a suction cup on the top of this thing, which gradually expands as its body develops. At a certain stage, let alone actually encountering it, even if it is nearby, this "energy-absorbing cup" may cause it to The energy in the body was instantly sucked away and turned into a pile of rotten bones.
Therefore, Colonel Zhong He was very cautious and spoke in a soft voice, because he was worried that changes in body heat caused by emotions or other factors would arouse the vigilance of Huoyan Squid.
When there is no "lighthouse" to direct this thing, it just absorbs the energy inside the earth's core. But once there is a "lighthouse" to "illuminate" this area and give clear instructions, they are also very efficient in hunting people. .
"Do you want to notify the superiors?" This was the first reaction of Principal Yun Bo, and it was also the most standard.
Therefore, he received a clear instruction from Gong Shenmang: "Do as you say."
Later, Gong Shenmang asked again: "Zhong He, can you continue?"
"……Can."
"Stay on standby for the time being. Treatment of the 'ant nest' will not begin until our support arrives."
"Can't make it?"
"Saving your life comes first."
Immediately afterwards, the division chief and operations captain turned to Yun Bo: "Switch to patrol mode and wait for the convection you predicted."
"receive."
"Xiong Shou, you also need to wait for us to come and join together. In addition, you may need to be used as bait."
Colonel Xiong Shang obviously cursed before responding: "Copy that."
Finally, Gong Shenmang's eyes turned to Ronan. It was obviously different from the concise and clear instructions before, and he hesitated.
Ronan knew what was going on and took back the palm he was pressing on his chest. The biochemical reactor half embedded in his chest started humming under the influence of his thoughts. At the same time, half of the base's "slicing device" was also started. These "metal mosquitoes" shuttled around in the gap between his exoskeleton and the Vanguard type nine power armor.
Then he raised his hand and said:
"I don't have a problem, I just need some energy supply...in the form of electromagnetism."
While talking, the magneto-optical mica he "rubbed" was searched and collected throughout the solar system, and the "advanced stem cell substrate formula" was finally formed - in the light-containing galaxy, it is actually the same as the electromagnetic distribution method. The "high imitation gold cells" with extremely high affinity have been activated in the furnace cavity.
It was also at this moment that Colonel Yunbo, who was responsible for controlling "Unit No. 3", had already upgraded Ronan's real-time energy replenishment authority under Gong Shenmang's instructions. The pressure regulating system opened the reverse valve. Soon, the backup engine of Unit No. 3, The high-pressure hydrothermal circulation turbine, which is very suitable for application in the current environment, is started to convert a steady stream of external geothermal energy into electrical energy, giving Ronan continuous energy support.
This external electrical energy is first controlled by the "slicing instrument" and then transferred to the biochemical reactor to stimulate the already formed "high imitation gold cells" to rapidly differentiate and grow into an "electromagnetic muscle membrane" covering the whole body. Structure", and through the penetration of a small amount of key tissue components and the stimulation of electrical signals, it is connected to the physical and spiritual framework of Ronan's body.
Ronan bent down unconsciously and took a hard and heavy breath. At this time, the body covered by the "electromagnetic muscle membrane structure" began to expand, so that the exoskeleton structure deformed with the situation, and the "Pioneering Officer Nine Type" The power armor was also affected. The part of the outer structure that had been deflated by external forces in the high-pressure environment was silently propped up and roughly restored to its original outline.
Schoolmaster Yunbo expressed his appreciation with an "ouch", while Gong Shenmang just nodded.
They will not be surprised by a biochemical reactor, and it is not suitable to be distracted by it at this stage.
It was at this time that the third wave of "mantle convection" predicted by Colonel Yunbo began.
The stratigraphic structure of the lower mantle, which has been heated by ten to a hundred times the heat of the Earth's core, and the rock formations more than a hundred kilometers above, mixed with cold air from the surface, began to convection like twisting a towel.
Those below go up, and those above sink.
But halfway through, each has basically blurred its original form, and there are only relative, uneven flows of hot and cold material that are hedging across the air.
Gong Shenmang signaled Yunbo to control "Unit No. 3" to descend, a huge body with an all-metal structure. Once the hover mode and some static concealment measures are released, the movement will be relatively loud when it sinks again. However, the timing they chose was very good, almost synchronizing with the collapse of rock layers in the upper mantle, minimizing the possible impact of this steel creation.
The collapse of the upper mantle rock layers is not fast, but it cannot withstand the frequency of upper and lower convection in the mantle.
"Unit No. 3" took advantage of this very cleverly, using the chaotic material flow one after another as a shield to eliminate the movement of its settlement. It only stayed in the third wave of downward pressure material flow for a short time, and took advantage of the chaos. Rushing out, accelerating downward, not caring about the threat of increased high temperature and pressure, and soon caught up with the second wave of settling material flow.
Gong Shenmang looked at Ronan again, and the latter looked at him very intelligently. His reaction and state were reassuring.
At this time, Colonel Xiong Shou was not far away.
"Continue to ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month and try to maintain this rhythm until the end of the month."
