Chapter 224 - Crisis
"Huh??" Xiao Deng and Tian Xin were shocked at the same time. Xiao Deng was so frightened that he took two steps back, and Tian Xin almost choked on her steamed buns. "You mean that electromagnetic pulse also affected you?"
"It happened that Brother Deng came back to report. I took advantage of everyone's attention to touch the alien's instrument, but I felt that there were some more thoughts in my mind." Xuan Yi talked calmly, without saying anything.
Pay attention to the reactions of Tianxin and Xiao Deng.
"Then the Taoist priest must have a profound knowledge and be able to resist this thing." Naturally, Xiao Deng heard about someone going crazy after being affected by the alien machine.
"It's okay." Tianxin finally swallowed the steamed bun and said calmly, "My senior brother Xuanyi saved those two crazy people before, but speaking of it, how does it feel? Come on, follow me.
I'll tell you."
"Yes, yes, I want to know too." Xiao Deng also moved a little closer.
"It feels like one of the delusions in the Ten Precepts has suddenly been magnified and will occupy all the Qingming spiritual platforms. Ordinary people who have not practiced the precepts will be dominated by it immediately, and then controlled by these intrusive thoughts.
Becoming a puppet at the mercy of others." Xuan Yi told Xuan Yi and Xiao Deng his feelings using the Ten Commandments of Taoism as an example.
Tianxin was naturally able to understand everything, but Xiao Deng seemed to understand a little bit, and Tianxin patiently gave him an example.
"Brother Deng will definitely feel envious when he sees his companions taking a rest and going out to play while on duty. If this situation is magnified, he may become jealous and eventually even do things to hurt others."
"Oh~~I understood when you said that." Xiao Dengmao suddenly thought, suddenly remembering that today's research was about to begin, he quickly said goodbye to the two Taoist priests, and hurried to the snow pit.
"Where did you go again? Why did you come so late?" The bearded man rushed over when he saw that little Deng was busy with work, and cursed a few times in a low voice.
Xiao Deng pulled the bearded man to a corner and whispered a few words, and the bearded man's expression softened slightly.
"Mr. Staff Officer, since we have made some progress on these machines yesterday, why don't we all focus on Dr. Sherry's instruments today and reveal the true identity of these objects." Madeline saw the two of them whispering.
It was clear that he was plotting against himself again, so he found an excuse to interrupt.
Since both of them had seen the dissection work on alien corpses yesterday, I believe that no one present except the three experts who had long been accustomed to it wanted to go in to find out. The bearded man ordered someone to do another test outside the transparent isolation room.
A translucent curtain was added to isolate the view.
"We have already discovered the most special piece of equipment among them. The detonator that made me want to operate it when I was in the army is controlled by one end and the other end achieves the effect. Maybe we need some way to make this thing start like before.
Get up." The bearded man looked at the square shaded part of Dr. Sherry's scanner display.
"Before, we only used a medium-power scanner to activate it. How about trying to increase the power?"
Dr. Sherry looked at the machine and saw that the power had been adjusted to the maximum, and shook his head helplessly.
"Or maybe we should change the scanning method and try using radio frequency? Ultraviolet light?"
"But how much time do we have to try one by one?" Dr. Sherry was very dissatisfied with the proposal of the two middle-aged men.
"Now, we have two ways, either try it one by one, or throw one of you in, and he will be activated naturally." Madeline felt irritated in her heart, and her voice rose several decibels.
The three of them immediately didn't dare to say anything. After being stunned for a moment, Dr. Sherry motioned to the middle-aged man to come over and help, "Let's try the ultraviolet light first..."
Yesterday, the experts who were responsible for studying these alien materials began to study the thing that looked like an airplane landing gear. After the two of them turned around several times outside the magic circle formed by the spell, one of them proposed to try to split these remaining pieces.
alien machine below.
"Split it?" Big Beard also heard the discussion between the two. In fact, the splitting work of this thing was also in progress before, but because the structure was not clear, only some cutting work was done, "Which method do you want to use?
Split? Diamond or screwdriver?”
"Of course it's a screwdriver. I also want to restore this thing after dismantling it." One of the experts from Big Beard's side replied.
"Do you have any idea after watching it for a long time?"
"No, so we can only start researching directly." The research expert spread his hands.
"I also agree that they can study it directly on the spot, but the thing inside is somewhat dangerous, I'm afraid..." Madeline also hopes to get results as soon as possible, so naturally she wants to start work as soon as possible, but there is a caveat in her words.
"No problem, you three, put on the talisman paper and get this thing out." The bearded man interrupted Madeline's attempt to speak.
After receiving the order, the three warriors were not sloppy at all. After pasting the talismans on each other, they used a transport truck to drag out the component.
During the whole process, Madeline's eyes were fixed on the talismans on the warriors, as if she wanted to know the mystery of this thing. But unfortunately, it seemed that the mind-blowing machine inside had been completely shut down, and the three of them were
The talisman didn't even glow slightly like it had when Terra blindly walked in before.
The two experts who obtained the sample began blind research again. The sound of clanging could be heard incessantly. Dr. Sherry was busy debugging his machine. Occasionally, "bang bang bang bang" could be heard in the isolation room that was completely cut off from the field of vision.
"The sound forms a duet with the "ding-dong-dang" outside.
However, at the end of the day, there was no substantial progress in these three most critical research directions, and everyone spent the day in anticipation and busyness.
At the end of the day's research, except for a few people who stayed to "supervise" in the snow pit, everyone else returned to their campsite.
"There is no progress at all today, how should I explain to the superiors?" Madeleine was very dissatisfied and started to get angry as soon as she got back to the car.
It turned out that Madeleine and her men were entrusted with an important task this time. Her superiors repeatedly urged them to get the samples smoothly. However, because the original raid plan failed, they had to switch to a cooperative relationship. Not only did it delay time, but it also
Staying here would be extremely detrimental to them.
All the mercenaries were silent, and the accompanying research experts were too frightened to speak. Only Tyra gently pulled Madeline's clothes from behind, signaling not to get so angry.
"Tomorrow, I want to see the results! Breakthrough results!!" After saying this, Madeleine didn't eat dinner and went straight back to the car to rest.
"Everyone, listen to me. We can't stay here for too long. Food and supplies are very limited. If we get results that satisfy the superiors as soon as possible, we can return early." It was the big man Ellison who spoke. Mader just now
Lin sang a white face, and he also sang a red face at the right time to appease everyone.
In the snow pit base at this time.
"What do the people in ambush outside say?" The bearded man held a meeting with several squad leaders in his tight room.
"Based on the observations over the past two days, we can basically confirm that the place where the minister is detained is in their container truck. However, they are also very vigilant and have mobile patrols all the time. Our people do not dare to get too close."
"By the way, what happened to the dozen or so soldiers who were rescued?" Big Beard thought of the nearly dying soldiers who were brought back that day.
"Just like what the other party said, I have completely lost my ability to fight. It is difficult to even feed myself. It will take a long time to fully recover. If a conflict breaks out later, I may be used as a leverage in the other party's hands."
There was silence in the small room.
The next day, intensive research began again. After being intimidated by Madeleine, the foreign experts worked very hard and became more efficient in their work.
Although he was in an icy snow pit, Dr. Sherry, who was wearing a protective suit, was already sweating slightly on his forehead. After all, the most critical research had not yet yielded new results in his own hands. Unfortunately, they
Now I tried the scanning method that the device in my hand could do, but the image on the display showed no sign of changing, and Dr. Sherry's head almost became a square shape.
Suddenly, a person walked out of the double-isolated room. It was the assistant among the three. She was not the chief surgeon at this time, so she was relatively clean.
"There are some findings, but they need to be tested at the moment." As he said, the assistant carried a sample on the tray that already looked like it was about to be partially digested, and came to the workbench outside. "Dr. Sherry, I may need your
help."
"Happy to help!" Faced with a new discovery, Dr. Sherry naturally wanted to be the first to know the results. So at this experimental bench, which was originally in the most remote corner, everyone's attention was gathered at this moment.
The two of them were busy in front of various equipment, slicing samples, conducting tests, observing with microscopes, and adding various potions to react... The people around them were not in this field, and most of them still didn't understand, but they still couldn't move their eyes away.
In the end, Dr. Sherry had a look of disbelief on his face, and hurriedly opened his box again and took out the biochemical results of the liquid that Fa Hu had first seen. His hands were trembling slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the results are so surprising." Dr. Sherry calmed down his excitement. "The composition of this sample is basically consistent with the composition of the previously discovered liquid sample. It can basically be judged that it comes from the same species."
"Moreover, this sample comes from the alien's digestive tract, and it took us some effort to remove it." The assistant on the side added.
"It means that the alien inside seems to be feeding on another alien?" Madeleine reacted and said.
Chapter completed!
