Chapter 327 Earth Navigation Dive

[348 kilometers from Crescent City]

["Tianmen" Border Patrol Station under Hehe Company]

At the border of the World Government's territorial area, all entrances and exits to the Borderlands are guarded by military patrol stations affiliated with the three giant companies.

This is a symbol of supreme power. They monopolize the access to the Borderlands, ensuring that only giant companies can get their hands on the relics of the old era that contain technological relics, thus cutting off the possibility of anyone or any force rising to challenge them. sex.

At the same time, they also bear the obligation to a certain extent to ensure the security of the border and prevent armed forces or wild beasts from outside the Great Wall from attacking the interior.

In a sense, the patrol stations of giant companies are the guardians of the border. Of course, compared with the huge benefits they have obtained, this little so-called "obligation" is really insignificant.

The "Tianmen" patrol station is one of the large-scale military bases of Hehe Company located on the border. It is built between valley passes, with impassable mountains on both sides.

This is the easternmost part of the World Government's territorial area and is inaccessible. Only the Tianmen Patrol Station guards the only entrance and exit like an iron guard.

Looking at it, the outer wall of the patrol station is made of solid alloy. Under the moonlight, its surface continuously reflects the metallic light, like a steel giant standing in the valley, demonstrating the unshakable power of the Hefei Company.

There are towers erected every fifty meters on the wall structure, with heavy forts in standby mode erected on them. There are also rows of neat windows on the building, through which people walking inside can be seen.

The patrol soldiers wore advanced combat equipment and stood on the majestic watchtower, overlooking the Borderlands at the other end from the top of the tower, guarding against any possible dangers.

It is night now, and "Xie Zongchang", the commander-in-chief of the Tianmen Patrol Station, is conducting night patrols and now comes to the communications department.

The director of the communications department has already said hello to his subordinates, and they will work overtime tonight to let the leaders see the spirit of everyone's hard work.

I saw employees in the communications department sitting upright in front of the equipment. Whether they were working or not working, they were all busy fiddling with it. Some were operating the equipment, and some were writing, creating a picture of a very saturated working time. posture.

Seeing his subordinates busy working overtime, Xie Zongchang squinted slightly and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, young people are very energetic, so they should work hard and practice more. Being able to work overtime for the company is a blessing. I really envy you. "

The director of the communications department flattered and said: "Boss, our communications department has always been an outstanding department of the year. Everyone will work hard for the company wholeheartedly!"

Xie Zongchang said sincerely: "This is very good. We must use a truth-seeking and pragmatic attitude, take quality improvement and acceleration as our responsibility, actively promote the standardization of work, normalize our efforts, reach new levels, break through new realms, and take new measures." , create new development”

Xie Zongchang had the aura of pointing out the country and kept talking.

The supervisor kept saying yes, but actually didn't listen to a word he said.

While Xie Zongchang was talking, an accident happened.

The various computer equipment in the communications department, as well as the big screen, turned dark one after another, and then an ominous skull pattern suddenly appeared.

Xie Zongchang was stunned by this situation and looked at his supervisor in confusion.

The supervisor was also confused, and quickly walked to the chief operator and shouted in a low voice: "What the hell, who told you to put such a pattern?!"

The chief operator was sweating on his forehead. He was operating back and forth on the computer to no avail. He said nervously: "This is not caused by us. It seems that the computer has been hacked."

Just when everyone in the communications department was at a loss, an encrypted and distorted voice sounded on the radio: "Xie Zongchang, I am speaking to you on behalf of the major armed forces outside the Great Wall."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

It was the first time that the armed forces outside the Great Wall made such a big noise, and even hacked into the patrol station's internal network.

Xie Zongchang frowned and asked, "What did you say to me?"

Radio: "You launched an attack on our brother troops last year, killing dozens of people. We will retaliate against the Tianmen Patrol Station in the near future. Just wipe your neck clean and wait for death."

After these provocative words, the skull patterns on each screen disappeared, and control of the device was regained.

The room fell into deathly silence. Everyone turned around and looked carefully at Xie Zongchang, who looked unhappy.

"Mo Mo, why did you let me hack into the Tianmen Patrol Station and say those inexplicable things to them?"

Su Mo was sitting on a heavy-duty transport vehicle, and Qi Ling's voice sounded in his earphones.

Su Mo looked at the night scene outside the car window and said slowly: "Because Tianmen Patrol Station is the breakthrough point for the tide of vicious beasts."

Qi Ling: "Oh, do you want to use this method to alert them in advance?"

Su Mo: "Yes, generally speaking, when the patrol station receives an attack warning, it should send more manpower and increase its combat readiness level. If they hold on for a while longer, they can provide us with more time."

At this point, he paused and said with a helpless smile: "But this is a general situation. Based on my understanding of that guy Xie Zongchang...heh, I can only say that I have worked hard, and the rest really depends on luck."

At this time, the transport vehicle drove to the Rust Wall level and stopped under the guidance of the soldiers of the Rust Wall defense force.

This heavy-duty transport truck is owned by Yan Yan, and the red umbrella logo on the vehicle has long been on the white list of major government departments.

Seeing Su Mo in the passenger seat again, the soldier's attitude became more respectful: "Captain Su, I have admired you for a long time, why do you have time to transport the goods in person today?"

Su Mo showed a friendly smile: "It's a valuable item ordered by a big customer. There can be no mistakes in this order. I happen to have nothing to do recently, so I might as well go there myself."

The soldier nodded, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Then let's go through a procedure? Release immediately after inspection."

Su Mo joked: "There is no need to check. My client doesn't like others to unpack before him. Rich people attach great importance to the first time, you know."

The soldier scratched his face and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "Well, Commander Su, we have regulations that we must check every vehicle."

Su Mo smiled casually and said: "Rules are dead, people are alive. Whether or not to check or not is not a matter of stamping the document. Why, do you suspect that I am involved in smuggling contraband?"

The soldier quickly waved his hand: "No, no, absolutely not. Captain Su's family has a big business, how can he go smuggling?"

"That's it, come on, let's smoke." Su Mo handed a pack of cigarettes to the soldier.

The soldier subconsciously took it, and suddenly his hand felt heavy and he almost lost his grip.

He opened the cigarette case blankly and found that the "cigarettes" inside were not wrapped with tobacco, but with gold bars.

The look in his eyes changed. He put the cigarette case into his pocket, nodded to Su Mo and smiled: "I have seen all the goods from Captain Su, there are no problems! Hey, who, stamp the list and let it go?" Hurry up, don’t delay other people’s business.”

Soon, the pass was stamped and handed over respectfully by the soldier, and the isolation door was opened.

"Captain Su, please."

Su Mo smiled at him, waved his hand, and the transport truck started and drove out of the rust wall.

Under the cover of night, the transport truck entered the border area.

It is already night, but you can still see many border people carrying large and small bags along the way. They walk in groups along the street, their eyes full of fatigue and confusion about the future.

Obviously, these are people who were "bluffed" by the wolf attack and were ready to leave the border area.

Looking at these displaced people, Su Mo couldn't help but sigh.

I don’t know how many of these people will survive the coming catastrophe.

The transport truck drove steadily north, climbed over the mountain road and entered the northern industrial development zone, arriving at the location of the 10,000-meter-deep drilling well.

This was the dive entrance of the original plot, and it was also the place Su Mo chose. After all, the previous engineering team had already conducted drilling operations here. Proper use of those tunnels could save a lot of time.

After the transport truck stopped, with the sound of airflow releasing pressure, the rear hatch slowly opened, revealing the Earth Spacecraft hidden inside.

Although it is said to be a "spaceship", its size is actually not as large as expected. It is about the size of a bus. Its main body is in the shape of an ellipse, and its surface is covered with a smooth alloy deck. The heat-insulating coating reveals an ocean-like ice blue color. .

Its surface is covered with high-precision sensors, which are used to detect the surrounding environment and monitor navigation routes underground. The internal cockpit is small and exquisite. In addition to the bridge used to control navigation, it is also equipped with life support devices and supports cross-stratum communication. Neutrino communication equipment.

This is the crystallization of technology that took a whole month to transform in the future. It will carry Sumo to the depths of the earth that humans have not set foot in today, and it is also the key to the entire beacon incident.

With Chu Nanyi's assistance, Su Mo used remote control equipment to unload the Earth Spaceship from the transport truck and transport it into the underground entrance deep in the mine. Then he said to him, "Go back, it's time for me to set off."

Chu Nanyi shook hands with Su Mo, patted his back hard, and said, "Commander, come back soon."

After bidding farewell to Chu Nanyi, Su Mo got into the cabin of the ground spacecraft, put his hands on the bridge, and started the voyage.

The Earth Spacecraft first activated the suspension mode, came to the top of the 10,000-meter-deep drilling hole, and began to slowly descend.

The initial period of the voyage was quite "lively".

With the help of searchlights, you can see some small creatures that live here, such as bats. They hang upside down on the rugged stones around the well wall. They were frightened by the appearance of the ground spacecraft and flapped their wings and flew out of the well mouth.

As we go deeper, the entrance to the cave that communicates with the outside world is no longer visible, and traces of animal activities slowly disappear. They are replaced by some fluorescent anaerobic moss, covering the surrounding stone walls and growing disorderly.

Further down, all traces of life disappeared, not even the tenacious fungi and algae could be seen.

Although it cannot be seen intuitively from the picture, the detection data of the Earth Spacecraft shows that the depth here is more than 3,000 meters underground, and the surrounding temperature has reached several hundred degrees.

The neutrino communication station is connected to the communication with the Edge Building, and the voice of the future comes from inside: "Boss, you have entered the hot dry rock formation, and the temperature data will become more and more terrifying, but don't worry, there will be no problem with the spacecraft. of."

Su Mo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I believe in your skills."

At this moment, there was only endless darkness above Su Mo, and endless darkness below. Only searchlights illuminated the surrounding area within a few meters, like a lone boat sailing in the Black Sea.

More than half an hour later, Sumer finally reached the bottom of the drilling hole, which is also the deepest stratigraphic location that humans have ever reached.

Su Mo landed the Earth Navigation Spaceship on the surface of the rock formation and switched the navigation mode from suspension to Earth Navigation mode.

Although this ground-based spacecraft is called a "spaceship", it is actually just a figurative name. It cannot really fly around solid rock formations as if they were in a gaseous state. That is called fantasy and does not belong to the field of science.

In a sense, the Earth Spacecraft is a bit similar to a "mole". It is equipped with a set of rock drilling equipment on its surface, which can move freely 360 degrees. Crushing rock formations is as easy as squeezing cheese.

The gravel formed after the rock formation is crushed will be captured by the absorption device of the ground spacecraft and thrown into the space on the other side.

In this way, the Earth Navigation spacecraft carried out spatial displacement between the rock layers, thus completing the so-called "Earth Navigation".

Just now, Su Mo just levitated and dived along the huge hole drilled by the city council's drilling team, but now, the real earth navigation was about to begin.

The rock drilling equipment was activated at full power, and the ground spacecraft "sinked" into the rock formations like a stone thrown into water, and began to dive between the formations.

This process is fully automatic, and there is no need for Sumo to manipulate the equipment levers left and right. All he has to do is to set the "route" for the Earth Spacecraft based on the data fed back by the previous earth-penetrating equipment.

Different from the suspension dive just now, the most intuitive feeling given by the ground navigation dive is "occlusion".

No matter which camera screen is turned on, no matter which angle you look out from, there are only dense rock formations reflected by the searchlight, tightly sticking to all directions, and nothing else. The whole person seems to be buried alive inside, so closed that People are a little out of breath.

The voice of the future sounded at the right time: "Boss, if you feel uncomfortable, you can turn off the imaging equipment. At present, there is no need to observe with the naked eye, just look at the detection equipment on the bridge."

Although Su Mo was not claustrophobic, the feeling of being buried deep was still a bit uncomfortable. Moreover, there were only rock formations tightly clinging to the surroundings. There was nothing interesting to see, so he turned off all the imaging equipment.

Soon, the entire cockpit fell into darkness, with only the surrounding indicator lights flashing faintly.

Su Mo looked at the mottled colors in the darkness and suddenly smiled: "This feeling is a bit like watching stars at night."

Future smiled and said: "You have such a good attitude. Now we are more than 10,000 meters underground. Every time you dive one meter, you are refreshing the human exploration record. It's quite exciting to think about it."

"Haha, are you excited now? That's too early." Su Mo lay down on his back with his wrists on his pillow, looking at the indicator lights shining like stars, his voice became deeper.

"Future, let me ask you a question, do you believe there is another form of life in this world?" (End of Chapter)
