Chapter 1960 Returning Home
The plane flies in front, and the monster follows behind.
The plane flew dozens of meters away, and the monster took a step forward.
The two parties who used to get into a fierce fight when they met now actually performed step by step, as harmoniously as flying a kite.
Such a weird scene is happening in reality right now.
It makes people confused and even more unbelievable.
Even Lina, as the executor, couldn't help but turn her head and look at it several times. The huge monster was like a moving hill on the ground, walking precariously in the 'narrow' valley. For a moment, every step he took made the mountains shake and the ground shook, and then he heard the dull sound of footsteps.
The front is full of green, the mountains and valleys are covered with lush flowers, plants and trees, while the monster's rear is full of broken branches and branches, like a giant bulldozer, crushing all the protrusions blocking the road. It was crushed to pieces, leaving a mess all over the ground and huge deep footprints.
Boom!
A reinforced concrete bridge on both sides of the flying canyon was torn apart as soon as it was hit by Sodem. It scattered into countless large and small concrete blocks and fell to the ground with a crash, some of which landed on Sodem. The front of the body was stepped on by Sodem's huge sole, and it immediately turned into a pile of powder, mixed with the soil.
"The bridge is so broken."
Asuka Shin looked at the broken bridge that was hit by the monster on the big screen, and felt very regretful in his heart. For such a big bridge, even with the advanced technology, it still needs a It took a year or two to build it, but it was destroyed by monsters.
"There is no other way, it is much better than monsters entering the city." Nakajima sighed, saying that this was the best result.
Human beings have built aggressively, occupying land everywhere, building bridges over mountains and rivers, and building roads all over the ground. It has become a net that covers the earth and cannot be bypassed at all. No matter where you come from, If you go in any direction, you will hit the road network.
If we take more detours, we can save the bridge and only destroy the road, but the problem is that no one can guarantee how patient this monster will be.
This is like attracting monsters. If you go too far and lead for too long, and the monster becomes impatient, then things will be very serious.
So compared to this loss, it is more important to send the monster away as soon as possible.
The upper-level people’s vision is even more far-reaching. Not to mention a bridge, even a city can’t afford to lose it. What most people see is that they successfully communicated with the monsters and guided the monsters to leave the human settlement for the first time. , but what they saw was the possibility of giving orders to monsters.
Tiger, lion, and elephant are the absolute overlords in the animal world. They are infinitely stronger than humans, but they are put into iron cages, trained on the stage, and trained to walk through fire rings by humans. Became the mainstay of the circus.
In a sense, monsters are just larger animals, and they can be tamed with the right methods.
This is by no means conjecture, but there are cases.
There have been mechanically transformed Gorzans before, as well as monster stone statues equipped with colorful timers, etc. Therefore, in the super-ancient period, super-ancient humans definitely tamed monsters and made them guardians. beast.
Maybe this Sodem is a remnant of the super ancient era, or its descendant, so maybe it is more friendly to humans.
While some people were thinking about it, Sodem also began to speed up, which startled Lina. She quickly increased the speed and height of Feiyan-1Z, but she didn’t expect that Sodem was not there at all. Ignoring Feiyan No. 1Z, he rushed forward on his own, his thick limbs running very fast, and his long and thick claws stabbing hard into the rocks, giving Sodem a tight grip, allowing him to even Even on the steep slopes, I can still walk as fast as I can.
“No, the monster is gone.”
Kariya Yukihei shouted, but what he said made Kibi Gosuke stunned. He turned his head and looked over, his eyes full of doubts: What do you mean?
"Uh, it's just. Well."
But before Kariya Yukihei could explain clearly, Chiba Makoto's voice came from the communication channel: "It's not out of control, but it's "Eager to go home"
"Go home?"
This sentence is wrong. He understood, and Tsutomu Nakajima immediately tapped the keyboard, called up the satellite remote sensing image, and said with a sudden realization: "Although this mountain is an extinct volcano, there is a magma sac at a depth of 1,800 meters underground. , and it is slowly increasing, which means there is a magma channel.”
"So, Sodem wants to drill into the magma channel from here, all the way to the asthenosphere, and then swim back to New Guinea?
Oh my god!!!"
Even if it means seeing too much Horii, who is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, was quite shocked when he heard this.
The asthenosphere is considered to be the birthplace of magma, with a depth of more than 100 kilometers. The magma in it is probably no more than the water in the sea.
If this is the case, then isn’t Sodem a ‘fish’ living in the magma sea?
And is there only one fish in the sea?
Thinking of this, Horii and Nakajima, both scientific researchers, looked solemn, their eyes full of desire for the unknown. They wished they could follow Sodem into the asthenosphere to see the sea. The same magma, and the 'creatures' that can survive in the magma.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sodem quickly ran to the top of the mountain, and then slammed his long and pointed head into the rock formation. Amidst the flying stone debris, most of his head was pierced, and then his neck began to change. It is red in color, and the temperature rises sharply, causing the rock to quickly soften. When you dig it into a large piece, it is no more difficult than digging tofu.
“Using high temperature to soften the rock, thereby speeding up the digging of holes. In other words, after Sodem swallows magma, the heat may not be dissipated, but stored and used to quickly dig underground. Excavation, it’s really a magical structure.”
Mitto Nakajima murmured to himself, his eyes getting brighter as he talked, as if he had discovered a new world.
"Yes, the magic of nature is beyond our imagination."
Horii was also filled with emotion. When the biological world classified magma as a restricted area for life, Sodem proved with himself that there might be It is another home where all things thrive.
“Human beings always use existing science and common sense to make judgments, but they forget that science has only developed for a thousand years and common sense only lasts for ten thousand years, but the earth has been formed for 4.5 billion years.”
Horii made a final conclusion, and couldn't help but think of what his mentor Dr. Mizuno once said: "Yes. The more you know about nature, the more you have to respect it.”
Dr. Mizuno used his life to prove that there is indeed another form of life in the ionosphere, which was considered to be unfit for life in the past. Lightning Man, and today there is an asthenosphere life form that surpasses human common sense and subverts human science - Sodem.
It's a bit ridiculous to think that humans, who have only existed for a million years, try to use their own cognition to define the earth that has existed for billions of years.
Others may not have much emotion, but Tsutomu Nakajima and Horii, as scientists, know how grand this guess is, and once it is confirmed, it will set off a terrible storm in the scientific world.
This means that the existence and scope of life are broader than human expectations. It also means that many planets in the universe that are considered by humans to be incapable of life survival and reproduction are likely to be deep underground, or even In the harsh sky, there are life forms beyond the scope of human cognition. Let’s not talk about the far ones, only the nearby ones. Once it is confirmed that Sodem can indeed survive in the asthenosphere, at least hundreds of papers with extremely high content will be produced. If other organisms can be found in the asthenosphere, it will definitely be It can go down in history, at least the history of biology and the history of the earth.
What a pity!
Neither Tsutomu Nakajima nor Horii's main research direction is biology. They can only be said to have dabbled in biology. But as we all know, the gap between proficiency and proficiency is greater than the difference between humans and pigs.
Although there is only two levels between a bachelor and a doctor, it is more difficult to cross than the Great Rift Valley.
The amount of knowledge and research capabilities they possess are even more different.
Although the gap between Horii and Nakajima as professional biologists is not that big, it is by no means small.
So for this big gift package, they can only watch others crazily produce papers, but they have no way to participate, and they have no time to participate.
Tsutomu Nakajima is responsible for some of the equipment of the Super Victory Team, while Horii is also busy with the construction of the Space Network, and finding time to study how to install the Max engine on Feiyan-1, not to mention receiving Chiba Makoto's With the project of transformable fighter jets, I was so busy that I had no time to participate in new projects.
Chi! Tsk!
With the assistance of high-altitude drones, hundreds of people witnessed the entire process of Sodem digging a cave in the mountain. Like a pangolin, he drilled through the rocks bit by bit and entered the mountain. In the end, even its tail disappeared, leaving only flying earth and rocks, proving that it continued to dig downwards.
It can be seen that the camera can no longer take pictures, but the ultrasonic detector and gravity gradiometer continue to monitor, 'watching' Sodem descending at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching the zero point of altitude, and drilling into the ground for two seconds. One hundred meters, five hundred meters, one thousand meters until the sound of it burrowing was mixed with the noise of the ground and could no longer be distinguished.
It was already sunset and dusk.
The red sunlight shone down, turning the western hillside into a sea of fire.
Chiba Makoto stood on a high slope, staring at the mountain that had been surrounded by TPC. There were a large number of people and equipment in the large cave halfway up the mountain, but the depth of the cave was only less than a hundred meters. , and the deeper parts were refilled with earth and rocks excavated by Sodem.
"There is no chance for Ultraman to appear this time."
A female voice came from behind. Chiba Cheng did not look back, but smiled chicly and said: "I really hope that every This can happen once. "
"But if humans no longer need Ultraman's protection, what is the meaning of Ultraman's existence? "
The words got closer and closer, until they stopped on the right side of Chiba Cheng. Hui Jian, who was wearing a brown leather jacket, followed Chiba Cheng's field of vision and admired the beauty of the sunset over the long river.
“When humans no longer need the protection of Ultraman, it means that humans have grown up and can survive alone in this cosmic forest, but the forest is so big, there are so many forests, and there are still many seedlings Needs care."
Chiba Cheng replied with a smile.
This time, Hui Jianjian was silent for a long time, and Chiba Cheng did not urge him. He just stood, watched, and listened.
It took a long time to hear Hui Jian’s voice, saying: “This is your home too.”
Chiba Cheng turned around and said to Hui Jiajian: "Yes, so no matter how far or how long I go, I will always come back to see you. This is the meaning of home."
“Yes, no one will stay at home forever, but they will return home eventually.”
Jian Hui also laughed, only The smile was a bit forced, and he said: "I will try my best to protect this family. At least during my tenure, the Omega file will never be lost. As for the future, I will leave it to the future
!”
When he said the last sentence, Jian Hui seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden, and his tone became relaxed.
No one can predict the future, let alone what the future will be like.
It is not easy to do well in the present, so how can we expect the future?
Perhaps just like what they just imagined, human beings have developed to the point where they no longer need Ultraman's protection.
What would that world be like?
—·—·—·—·—·—·—·—
Time: half past two in the morning.
Location: Biological Research Institute, a secret laboratory!
Da! clatter! clatter!
With a crisp sound, the lights hanging high on the ceiling were turned on, illuminating the huge room.
I saw instruments and pipelines all over the floor, eventually extending to a box-shaped tower with a height of more than 100 meters in the middle of the room.
There are a large number of indicator lights on it, which are constantly flashing. The amazing power consumption releases a lot of heat, so that the temperature of the room remains high.
On the high wall near the ceiling, there is a row of windows made of high-strength glass. Nagyun, wearing a chief of staff uniform, stood in front of the window, looking at the huge petri dish in the center of the huge room, without even turning his head. He replied, "It seems we haven't succeeded yet."
"It's coming soon, it's coming soon," behind him was a middle-aged man who was dressed in line with the public's stereotype of a mad scientist, with a messy head on his head. hair, wearing A man with black-rimmed glasses and a dirty white coat said confidently: "Now there is only the last step. After the control problem is solved, actual combat testing can be carried out."
Chief of Staff Nagumo He turned around, looked at the person behind him with a half-smile, and said, "It seems that it has not succeeded yet."
"Of course, if it succeeds, I will be the first to notify you."
"Hmph," Chief of Staff Nagyun snorted coldly, turned his head back, continued to stare at the big box in the room, and said: "Dr. Otomo, I hope you don't forget that when you were rejected by the Southern European Branch, you were Who gave you a hand and provided you with Everything you need so that you can concentrate on your research."
"It's you. I will always remember your kindness and will dedicate all my knowledge to you wholeheartedly." The person who is called Dr. Dayou. Express loyalty in a hurry.
"For me or for TPC, it doesn't matter. I just hope you don't make your own decisions." Chief of Staff Nagumo turned around, raised his head slightly, tried to look down, and said: "They are investigating The vicious monster suspected of being Golzan, whose registration code is Sodem, must not be found here.”
“No, no, absolutely not.”
