The moment he returned to reality, Chen Chen silently breathed a sigh of relief.
The blood cloud as tall as a mountain range gave him an inexplicable sense of depression. It felt like the complete form of the consciousness stealer he had seen in his dream.
However, in closer comparison, the sense of oppression felt by the consciousness stealer is even greater. It feels like standing at the bottom of a mountain, looking up at the entire mountain range, and even the soul is suppressed.
Carefully handing the host where X-112 was located to the black knight aside, Chen Chen made a move with one hand, and the parts that followed him back to reality flew out one after another and were neatly placed on the ground beside him.
Then, Chen Chen began to identify them one by one.
"This is... the coil of a geothermal energy generator?"
"Is this a oscillator?"
"this is… "
Chen Chen looked at each piece of equipment one by one, distinguishing the pieces of equipment he had retrieved. Among these pieces of equipment, he could only recognize very few parts. He couldn't recognize most of the equipment, and he didn't even know whether there were any on earth. clear.
Chen Chen even saw something similar to words on some devices, but the words above did not belong to any words known to mankind, but an even weirder pattern, similar to the pattern on the top of a giant needle.
Little
Chen Chen turned his head and took a look, but when he could see it from above, he frowned slightly.
Because his field can feel an extremely dense acupuncture feeling. This acupuncture feeling is invisible and cannot even be felt by human perception. However, with his field energy amplitude that is a thousand times deeper than the microscopic level, it can Can be vaguely perceived.
"X, this crystal material is highly radioactive."
Chen Chen reminded, "Generally, natural crystals are radioactive, but they are extremely subtle, even so subtle that it is difficult to harm the human body. My field energy cannot sense it, but this stone is so radioactive that I can clearly sense it." If it comes out, its radioactivity may be comparable to that of radium."
X nodded, she took out the magnifying glass and flashlight from the side, and then confirmed, "This is a vermiculite!"
"Zircon?"
"Yes, and it's bright orange, low-type zircon."
Little
Little
Chen Chen smiled. His field energy moved instantly. All the parts quickly flew up again and were quickly assembled in mid-air. More than a thousand parts of different sizes and tens of thousands of small parts like screws were placed in Chen Chen's body. The field can be manipulated to piece it together bit by bit.
Eventually, the entire piece of equipment was pieced together into an hourglass-shaped machine facility, wide at both ends and narrow in the center.
Moreover, the orange bright stone the size of a basin was fixed in the center of all the parts, like an orange crystal eye...
"What a strange device."
At this time, Little core."
"Can you see the use of this device?"
Chen Chen asked, "Before, I couldn't use my spiritual energy anywhere on the earth over there, but when I destroyed this device, my spiritual energy quickly recovered, and something seemed to be released."
Xiao
"At the same time, because of the piezoelectricity of the crystal material, it has a magnetic field, and there are even random claims that 'the magnetic field of crystal can bring health and luck to the human body,' etc. However, since it is now the core of this device, Moreover, Your Majesty Godfather, you can still feel huge radiation from its body, which is very interesting."
Little X suddenly smiled happily, "If I guessed correctly, this device should be a radiation diffuser!"
"Radiation diffuser?"
Chen Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he seemed to understand something.
"Because the radiation spreads, it is diluted and becomes extremely light."
Little
"Judging from the clues you brought, there are a total of twenty giant needles, which means that one such device can lock the spiritual energy within tens of millions of square kilometers, making it impossible for the beings with spiritual energy to exert it. "
After hearing this, Chen Chen nodded, "Yes, I understand now. I originally thought that the disappearance of humans in the "Doom" plane was related to these twenty giant needles, but now I can confirm it. , there is no relationship between the two.”
"It doesn't matter?"
Little X was suddenly stunned.
"Those giant needles are not the main culprit in destroying human civilization."
Chen Chen nodded and replied, "And those are the things nailed by the giant needles."
Little "
"This also raises a more important question."
Chen Chen continued, his expression becoming more solemn, "That is, in addition to the two forces of human beings and the blood cloud that destroys human beings, there should actually be a third party force - those beings who nailed giant needles on Mars and Earth."
"I have discovered before that although the pattern on the giant needle on Mars is the same, the shell is obviously much older, at least tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of years old, while the giant needle nailed to the earth is brand new. , that is to say, after the destruction of mankind, the third party forces also nailed those giant needles on the earth, and re-nailed the existences on Mars, or it can be said to be 'sealed'... "
As he said that, Chen Chen shook his head, "This is very scary. Doesn't it mean that humans in the "Doom" plane are always being monitored?"
After talking about it, Chen Chen suddenly became more vigilant. It turned out that the world connected by the USB flash drive might not only exist in one civilization, but that there was actually a higher civilization that was monitoring human beings.
This is terrible.
After talking about this, half an hour had passed, but Chen Chen still hadn't seen the black knights return.
"Do you need me to send someone over to check again?"
Xiao X also asked a little uneasily.
"No need, close it."
Chen Chen shook his head decisively, then walked directly to the computer and pulled out the USB flash drive.
Suddenly, the black channel on the computer screen turned into a whirlpool and was quickly annihilated.
Chen Chen silently breathed a sigh of relief. The harvest from this exploration was still great. Although he still didn't figure out what the blood cloud on the opposite side was and how human civilization was destroyed, he at least figured out how human civilization in this plane was destroyed. The reason, not only that, but also got a special device.
Chen Chen had never seen this device before.
Next, the analysis of these devices was handed over to Xiao X, especially the huge zircon. Xiao X seemed very interested.
Is this the fanatical instinct of female creatures towards crystal clear gems
Chen Chen thought silently.
That's right, in his opinion, Little There are no errors either.
After several days of analysis, Xiao X did a lot of research and analysis on the zircon and finally sent a report to Chen Chen.
However, after seeing this report, Chen Chen looked surprised.
Sure enough, this zircon was artificially synthesized.
"Zircon, also known as zircon, is a silicate mineral with the chemical formula ZrSiO?"
Little The interior of this huge zircon contains an element that we humans have never synthesized before!”
"Never synthesized?"
Chen Chen was immediately surprised. In nature, the heaviest non-radioactive element is lead, and the heaviest element with the highest abundance is uranium. Those with atomic numbers greater than uranium are called transuranic elements, and most of these elements are artificially synthesized. .
The reason why it is difficult for humans to discover heavier elements is because as the atomic number increases, the stability of the elements becomes worse and worse, and the half-life becomes shorter and shorter. For example, the four latest elements synthesized by humans Nos. 113, 115, 117 and 118 have half-lives of only 20 seconds, 2.6 seconds, 0.8 seconds and 12 milliseconds.
Currently, No. 118 is the heaviest element that humans can discover (synthesize). Elements exceeding No. 118 will open a new Group 8 periodic table of elements. However, no Group 8 elements have yet been synthesized.
Since Little
"The radioactive element discovered is composed of 126 neutrons and 126 protons."
Little X continued, "That means this element is ranked No. 126 on the periodic table!"
Chen Chen couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, "No. 126? In that case, its half-life should be shorter. How can it exist stably inside zircon?"
But the next second, Chen Chen immediately woke up, "It turned out to be the 'Stable Island'!"
The so-called island of stability theory means that in physics, there is a mysterious "magic number" phenomenon - so far, the magic numbers discovered by humans are 2, 8, 14, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126...
When the number of nucleons of an element matches the above values, the stability of the atomic nucleus is relatively large. For example, oxygen-16, which is composed of 8 neutrons and 8 protons, has very stable nuclear properties. 20 neutrons and 20 The nuclei of calcium-40 formed by combining protons are also very stable, and the nuclei of some isotopes of nickel formed by combining 28 protons are still very stable...
Therefore, this stabilizing effect of elements on the magic number sequence is called the island of stability theory. Therefore, element No. 126, which is composed of 126 neutrons and 126 protons, will also be a stable element.
"But since it is a stable element, why is there such huge radioactivity? Is it a mistake?"
Chen Chen found it a little difficult to understand. When he used field energy to detect, he did feel an extremely strong pinprick sensation. Only extremely strong radioactive elements could cause Chen Chen's field energy to produce this feeling.
"That's right."
Little Only when we can actually synthesize this element can we solve this mystery, right?"
"But now is not the time to worry about this."
Little "
"oh?"
Chen Chen's heart tightened when he heard this, and he immediately walked into the workshop where the instruments were assembled to check.
The only device he brought back from the "Destroyer" plane was this device that could suppress psychic energy. If this device broke down, Chen Chen didn't know if he would have the chance to go deep into the "Destroyer" plane again and bring back other devices. The device comes back.
As soon as he entered the assembly workshop, Chen Chen immediately saw a huge columnar machine with a diameter of five meters and a height of about 20 meters. The outer shell made by Xiao X was made of tungsten alloy and exuded a dull blue luster.
There are three huge support legs on its waist. At the same time, this device has been processed by a small The machine was driven into the ground and secured.
"Why does this shape look like a phage?"
Chen Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"It's just a coincidence."
Little
Chen Chen nodded, no longer worrying about this, but ordered, "Try to start it again."
Little
However, this device obviously had a huge amount of power, but after the initial startup, the device inside stopped operating again.
Seeing this, Chen Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes. He directly lifted into the air, reached the top of the machine, and opened the lid.
Then he immediately saw that all the lights he had seen inside were red, and none of them were green.
Seeing this, Chen Chen couldn't help but look thoughtful. He still remembered that when he broke open the shell of the giant needle, the instruments were clearly not damaged, but they still decisively stopped operating. Seeing this, Chen Chen seemed to understand something and turned to Xiao X. Said, "Try to turn the space inside into a vacuum state."
Following Chen Chen's order, the engineering robots in the workshop quickly started operating. Under Xiao X's design, an air pump was installed in the device to drain the air inside and seal the machine's shell.
Then, the machine starts again.
Buzz…
Chen Chen only felt an invisible wave spreading, and suddenly, that special feeling of stagnation came over again!
Chen Chen's spiritual power was suppressed again.
