Chapter 694 New Species
"Report, General... here is..."
This is in the deep sea. While the teacher was doing various things, the submarine that was chasing the giant monsters in the deep sea also discovered some wonderful... situations.
Now, five submarines have dived to the deepest part of the trench. They didn't see the giant beast, but they saw the wonderful scenery on the seabed at the bottom of the trench.
The seabed burst open here.
A large amount of luminous matter, like lava gushing out of a crater, slowly spread around the explosion marks...
Undersea volcanic eruptions are a phenomenon that most Void people are familiar with, but this is not a volcano, and what erupts there is not lava, but a kind of viscous liquid that exudes colorful luster and looks like paste.
This is what the virtual people saw in the submarine. They don't know what it is, but no one has the idea of trying to go out and collect some 'samples' back.
Even if you can use remote control machinery to make the collection process safe, you don't know what will happen after the collection.
Although he didn't know what these substances were, the captain of the submarine team knew where it was, so in the report to the general, it said: "This is a deep-sea abandoned site, general."
"The abandoned point... is the place where the reactor waste is placed?" The general's tone was puzzled: "Why is it here? And I don't know?"
"Because this place has not been made public, but I just happened to know about it..." The captain said, "A lot of waste has been placed here..."
Reactor waste, after virtual people have researched related technologies, they have a lot of these things, and these things are a huge threat to all people.
Voidmen have recently used technology that does not produce waste, but there was too much waste left in the past, so they need to bury things, usually deep underground, or put them in special sealed jars and throw them away. into the deep sea.
Later, the Void People dug out most of the waste and launched it into the void, but a considerable amount of waste is still where it was originally placed, without any treatment.
There was one place where the waste was placed and it was also not dealt with. This is the place.
"This trench has always been considered a place that has hardly been explored, but it is not the case..." The captain said to the general: "There used to be a company that was in charge of waste disposal, and they dumped waste in this place ...and only a few people know about this matter..."
"Then why is it in such a strange state now?" The general can also see the scenery seen by the submarine in the distance: "Why is there a large pile of glowing... liquid?"
"I don't know that either,
General. Although that company's practices were not very good, their safety was guaranteed at the beginning. It stands to reason that these jars will not have any problems even if they are stored for thousands of years... let alone such abnormal things . "The captain said: "Do you want to test it?" "
"Don't worry about these things for now." The general didn't ask what the relationship between the captain and the company was, but said directly: "The task now is to hunt down the giant beast, and you stay there. Other troops are investigating other companies. In this place, giant beasts may appear at any time, so be alert!"
"yes!"
Under the general's order, the five submarines stopped here and guarded this position.
However, as time went by, they discovered new anomalies, which were the glowing 'liquids' gushing out of cracks on the seabed.
They seemed to be self-spreading carpets, growing bigger and bigger on the seabed, which made the captain have to contact the general again.
Seeing such an abnormality, the general felt that he couldn't let it go. So let these submarines take some samples for testing.
Then, the captain dispatched the remote-controlled small machinery for collection and detection.
This machine is like a cube, it has two mechanical arms, and with the propulsion of the engine behind it, it quickly swims to the glowing objects spreading on the seabed.
Contact, collection, return, the mechanical action is very fast... At the same time, it also proves that this substance is not lava, but... what is it?
The collected matter was packed in a sealed container when the machine returned to the boat. The captain immediately ordered it to be moved to the laboratory for testing.
There are some small laboratories inside these submarines, which are in charge of some civilians with high 'knowledge'.
Now, this group of people has gathered in the laboratory, and one of them is holding the small sealed bottle in his hand. Looking at the contents of the bottle with fantastic emotions.
It turns the bottle around, and the luminescent substance inside will slide slowly to the other side like oil, which can prove that it is a liquid.
But when the bottle was inspected by the virtual people using microscopic detection tools, it was discovered that it was not a pure liquid, and that there were a large number of... microbes mixed in it.
And these microorganisms... are very similar to the plague fungus.
They secrete a layer of something like grease to wrap themselves inside, so it looks like an oily liquid on the outside. At the same time they still glow inside.
But why do fungi most afraid of seawater appear in the depths of the ocean?
It's not surprising that the giant beast has skin to resist the sea water, but these fungi... they seem to use oil to protect themselves.
However, when the captain tried to soak these fungi into seawater, he discovered a shocking fact...
The fungus doesn't die in sea water...they don't rely on oil for protection.
This is a fungus that resists seawater!
After discovering this information, the captain immediately informed the general.
The general was extremely surprised by this situation, but he quickly issued an order... this place must be completely destroyed.
This new fungus cannot be allowed to spread.
However, the captain thinks that there is no need to worry, they can conduct more tests before making a decision...
After conducting other tests, the general felt relieved when he heard the new news. It seems that in order to live in the sea, this type of fungus is not as highly infectious as other types of fungi, and the growth rate is not too fast. It's just that it's not known how the fungus spreading on the seabed gets its food.
But their oil provides shelter to other seawater-afraid fungi, which may be their main use.
And as long as you understand it, solving them is a very simple matter.
It's just that the submarine team didn't notice at all when they were researching. In the darkness in the distance, the eyes of giant beasts are watching them... (To be continued.)
