Chapter 694 Threat from the Ocean
Megumi also recalled the original memories in his mind. What impressed him most was not the monster Reylos, but the countless garbage scattered on the vast seabed, dense and mushy. Same, I couldn't help but ask: "Has the garbage cleanup in R sea area not started yet?"
Hearing this, Director Edo smiled bitterly and said: "It can't be that easy. The water depth is more than 3,000 meters. Technical The technical problems have not yet been solved. We must not only meet the needs of large-scale cleanup, but also reduce costs to the lowest possible level. It’s really... Alas!”
Director Edo sighed deeply. Shaking his head, that is not his own river pond. The water is three thousand meters deep. Using existing deep-sea submersibles, the cost of fishing out the garbage is almost as high as gold, and it is not one ton or two tons, but hundreds of millions of tons. Billion tons calculation.
Even with a 100-ton heavy-duty truck, it will take millions or even tens of millions of trips to complete it, let alone a deep-sea submersible with a load capacity that is not as good as a household pickup truck, and even if the earth starts from now Without throwing even one gram of garbage into the ocean, the garbage in the Pacific Ocean alone is dozens or hundreds of times that of the R sea area, and most of this garbage will be gathered into the R sea area along with the ocean currents.
In other words, there will only be more and more garbage in the R sea area, and it is not impossible to pile up into a continuous mountain of garbage on the seabed. Therefore, it is not that he is not working hard, it is really too much, so much that it is overwhelming. The point of despair.
Unless from now on, the world invests all manpower and material resources, and all productivity is used to produce deep-sea submersibles to retrieve garbage from the deep sea, otherwise a small marine research institute will not be able to survive. You won't even think about collecting all the garbage there in ten thousand years.
In short, marine garbage disposal is an extremely troublesome matter, and it cannot be completed in a year or two. But the problem is that the threat in the R sea area is imminent. The pollution there is increasing day by day, but the biological density is But it is strangely increasing instead of decreasing. You can even think of it with the duodenum. There is definitely something wrong here.
In addition, monsters have appeared in that area, so there is reason to believe that the anomalies in the R sea area may mean that monsters have appeared there again.
When I thought of this, the hearts of the senior officials attending the meeting became heavy. There was no good way to solve the mountains of garbage that had accumulated over the years, so they all sat in silence.
Even Director Sawai sat silently, cleaning up seabed garbage. If the investment is small, the problem will not be solved. If the investment is high, there is no such money, because the current TPC expenses are already high enough, including Mars bases, moon bases, and space bases. , as well as the reopening of the military factory, the research of high-precision weapons, plus the reconstruction of cities destroyed by monsters and the resettlement of disaster-stricken residents
Every one of them is a bottomless pit. At least in this year’s budget, we can’t squeeze out too many marine garbage cleanup projects. And next year, it is estimated that it will also be on hold because we have to start building a fortress-level armed base for space warfare. In short, it will cost money. There are so many places that Sawai, the leader, feels terrified. If TPC had not integrated global resources, it would be impossible for these projects to start at the same time.
Silence, silence, silence!
In the silence, Megumi spoke and said: "Director Edo, I will let the victory team also participate in the investigation to deal with the worst case scenario."
Director Edo He nodded gratefully to Jian Hui. He was now under great pressure and did not dare to send anyone down. If he encountered a monster, it would really be a life-and-death situation.
Later, Li, the head of the Asian branch, also began to explain the abnormal phenomena that existed there. Near the Kunlun Mountains where ancient tiles were excavated, plasma that was somewhat similar to the Lightning Man's lair was discovered. They are tracing the source, but there is not much progress so far. .
Each branch is reporting abnormal phenomena within its scope, which have been discovered in the past two years. Some are still scratching their heads, while others have found some clues and are stepping up investigations. See if it has something to do with monsters. After all, for TPC and humans today, monsters are a top priority, and we must definitely pay attention, attention, and attention again.
The meeting that lasted for more than five hours ended, but Megumi did not leave. Instead, he followed Director Sawai to the director's office. When there were only two of them, Director Sawai lost his seriousness and strength, lowered his head tiredly, and whispered: "Since the appearance of Golzan, the earth seems to have entered a troubled period, and abnormalities have appeared in various places. Phenomenon, land, space The air, the underground, and even the ocean are no longer safe."
Hui Jian sat there and listened quietly. After Director Sawai finished speaking, he said: "Director, I want to ask you something.”
This was the first time Director Sawai heard what Megumi said. He couldn't help but raise his head and said, "What's the matter?"
"Do not approve any form of exploration of unknown ruins at the bottom of the South Pacific for the time being."< br>
Director Sawai looked at Hui Jianjian, looked at each other for a while, and then said: "Is there any problem there?"
"Golzan, Melba, Xili Great, there's still a chance Mechgorzan, these monsters all have the same characteristics, they should be monsters that existed in the super ancient times, and the Horii team discovered that there is a strange energy in the cells of these monsters, and the source is the group of underwater ruins. "
Director Sawai pondered for a moment and said: "If this is the case, it is more appropriate to explore the ruins. Only by knowing more can we find a way to deal with it."
"But what if we are alarmed by the existence that emits this kind of unknown energy?" Megumi said, calling up the investigation report on the 'Kirielode people' that she provided to Director Sawai last time, including the information about the 'Ryuugong Salvage Mission' Part of it, said: "These records all mention a dark king. I think the dark king The domain is probably that ruins, and the King of Darkness is probably the source of the resurrection of the super-ancient monsters."
Director Sawai looked at these data and looked at the newly discovered unknown energy distribution map. , fell into silence, and Hui Jian did not disturb him and sat there quietly.
After a long time, Director Sawai raised his head with a heavy face, as if muttering to himself: "Why is it in the ocean?"
The problem of seabed garbage has not yet been solved. method, and now there is a deep-sea ruins that is likely to have a terrifying existence sleeping there. Director Sawai feels that the ocean is slowly opening its huge mouth, showing its fangs, showing its horror to humans on land.
"Director, this is just my personal opinion. Something terrible is probably going to happen. Everything now is just a sign." After hesitating, Jian Hui still did not disclose the last time he saw him You Lian, and Chiba Cheng, pushed these to personal premonitions.
"Yes, the storm is coming, but have we prepared our umbrellas?"
