Chapter 177: Smart plant

After experiencing so many anomalous events, residents of City D simply prayed that they would make no more mistakes.
This time, even a frivolous person like Zhao Xindong whispered secretly in his heart that no monster moth would come out in this pit.
However, sometimes the development of things always goes against expectations. Often, the less you want to develop, the more likely it is to happen.
For example, Zhao Xindong and they hope that there will be no more trouble, but the actual situation far exceeds their estimates.
From the outside, this tiankeng can only see a huge steep slope, like a huge "cauldron", and the center of the "cauldron" is a large pothole. The whole pothole is like a vertical shaft. Shooting in the air from a drone, the picture below was dark under the cave.
After laser measurement, the result is that the depth should be about three or four hundred meters.
Zhao Xindong, wearing protective clothing, took out the photos taken, and several of them were taken continuously from above from an overhead perspective.
There is a huge hole in the center of the "big pot" in the photo. Like a dark vent, you can see the inner rock formation structure, but there is not much information about it.
Initially, there were not many clues of intelligence, but the huge tiankeng that appeared unexpectedly naturally attracted the attention of Shangfeng. Therefore, there was the action of Zhao Xindong and others. They came here to investigate the situation of this pothole further.
This investigation team is only the "advanced unit". The entourage is mainly in the army, including communicators, engineering soldiers, and several accompanying scholars, including geologists, biologists, and a biochemical, viral Well-known scholar in school.
"Under normal circumstances, most tiankengs are formed by the soft geological structure itself, and the groundwater veins continue to erode the solid bedrock, which eventually results in the collapse of the ground ..."
An accompanying geologist in military uniform took a closer look at the nearby terrain and reached out to touch the soil next to him. This situation is indeed rare in cities, but in severe cases, it will become a disaster. In a dense residential area, a sudden tiankeng will directly swallow buildings on the ground. On the road, the car will fall into a deep pit, resulting in personal injury and death.
-A Gudala city, Guatemala's capital, had a large underground cave that was 60 meters deep and 30 meters in diameter. It even caused a three-story building to fall into it. However, that really can only be regarded as a "ground hole", which is incomparable with this 300-400-meter-long tiankeng at the moment.
They consulted the local archives and found the original site of the sudden appearance of the tiankeng. There was originally an apartment above, but now it disappears silently.
"However, we investigated the geological survey data in the area, inspected the nearby soil, and analyzed the geological and geomorphological features, and found that the possibility of a tiankeng phenomenon is unlikely ..."
Of course, geological analysis and investigation has always been a difficult point. Human technology still has great difficulties. To conduct underground research, drilling and special instruments are required. For example, common geological radars, various drilling tools, and image analysis instruments using high-power electromagnetic detection.
"The environment below the ground is quite complicated. There is no geological radar or high-density resistivity meter. Any speculation is unreliable."
The need for instruments was not excessive. It didn't take long for the helicopter to send over some of the required instruments and equipment.
"This hole ... is someone sent down for a look."
"No, this hole may be dangerous. For safety reasons, let the drones and geological robots go down and look."
To investigate this sudden abyss cave, naturally all parties must contribute. Zhao Xindong and others have applied for the use of aerial survey systems and satellites to obtain the necessary radar data. Only with more resources for the geology of the area can the detailed situation be analyzed.
Right now, they've got the latest drones loaded with synthetic radar radar telemetry data, and professional extremely powerful geological survey robots, which are basically equivalent to enhanced lunar rover. More direct exploration.
Next, let ’s do it. Zhao Xindong and others, together with a few engineering soldiers, tried to use a rope to place the geological exploration robot at the bottom of the bottom pothole.
This action alone took about an hour. From their point of view, the vertical pits of three to four hundred meters have a dark bottom at all, and the long ropes were carefully dropped from the air, putting geology and geology in perspective. The body of the survey robot was placed at the bottom of the pit.
The body of this exploration robot is made of lightweight composite metal material, a crawler structure, attached with a collection of mechanical limbs, equipped with multiple modules, can be monitored in real time through wireless video.
Various sensors built in the body can collect and transmit data such as temperature, space size, and gas concentration.
As the robot landed on the ground floor of the deep pit, the searchlight flickered and turned on.
Under the light, Zhao Xindong and they finally could see the "view" at the bottom of the vertical pit through the video.
"Oh my God! What's going on ?!"
The location of the geological survey robot is like an isolated island. Outside the isolated island, it is a black "sea", but no matter how you look at it, this is not an ordinary "black sea". It is a thick, disgusting mass of black The liquid, as far as the eye is concerned, is all this kind of "thing" which is different from the conventional one.
Rustling! Countless black ripples fluctuated like ripples on the water, spreading round and round, and the inexplicable sounds of rustling shuttles came from the robot's sound collector.
That was the sound from the black ocean. In fact, Zhao Xindong and others have discovered that it is not an ocean at all, but a huge ocean entangled, entangled, and gathered by countless black snakes. This huge black ocean occupies the bottom of the entire pit. The robot of local quality surveying turns on the light, and those things like worms in the Black Sea spread out like fear of light.
"Isn't this a creature?"
"No! It shouldn't be like this."
The biologist pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he stared at the corner of the video with great concentration.
"This is not the same as the" that "that appears in" Ghostly Lao Hai ", it is a magical intelligent plant!"
After the ghostly Laohai incident, there has been a considerable degree of research and analysis on the samples sorted out by various excavations. The technical staff on the front lines of the incident, especially those who are related to their own fields, cannot naturally know nothing. .
The biologist doesn't think it will be an "animal" or a worm, but it belongs to an intelligent plant like the ghost in the old sea.
