The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2093 The Magical Use of Monsters

hum!hum!hum!
The slight vibration felt on the soles of my feet came again, and then after five or six seconds, it intensified into a strong vibration.

"Turn off the PW wave."

Chiba Makoto said, the technician hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned off the instrument.

Then the strong vibration subsided after a few seconds when the PW wave was turned off.

"This"

Daigu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and found that the smile on President Tachibana's face could no longer be maintained, and his muscles were obviously trembling. It was obvious that he also realized from Chiba Makoto's actions that there was a serious problem for him and his company.

After the strong earthquake completely subsided, no one in the room said anything. The atmosphere seemed frozen, and it was terrifyingly quiet until Qianye Cheng said, "Open it again."

At this moment, even the operator couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his hands were shaking a little. The switch that he had pushed many times seemed a little heavy at this moment, and it took him a lot of difficulty to push it to the on position.

The slight vibration occurred again, but this time everyone's faces were extremely serious, and they waited with bated breath. President Tachibana was like Louis XVI under the knife, waiting for the fatal blow to fall.

No one is a fool. Looking at Chiba Makoto's expression, it is obvious that he has discovered something. But what else could Ultraman discover?

In less than ten seconds, the slight tremor turned into a strong earthquake.

This time, the staff in the control room did not panic and try to run away. Instead, they looked at each other in silence, with the only option left being to lose their jobs. As for President Tachibana, his face turned ashen and his breathing became disordered.

"Turn it off." Chiba Makoto broke the silence again, asking the technicians to hurriedly turn off the PW wave. He looked like he was holding a hot potato and was eager to throw it away.

As the PW wave equipment was turned off, the earthquake, which was so strong that it almost shook people down, began to weaken. However, it stopped in just a few seconds. No vibration could be felt anymore, which made the hearts of those present sink.

The buzzing sound disappeared, and the huge control room fell into deathly silence.

No one spoke, no one walked, and no one even dared to breathe heavily, for fear of being fired for breathing out of the left nostril.

Daigu kept glancing at President Tachibana next to him with the corner of his eye. His expression was so ugly that it was a compliment to say that it was ugly. Come to think of it, he was happily carrying out a great project, but ended up dying just at the beginning. This was really a bit discouraging.

Don't let yourself get discouraged.

"So." President Tachibana obviously wanted to show that he was calm and composed, but he revealed his timidity as soon as he opened his mouth because his voice was trembling.

"There may be a monster nearby." Chiba Makoto helped him tell the 'cruel' truth.

Although I had guessed it a long time ago, I only gave up when Chiba Makoto said it out loud.

No, President Tachibana did not give up, or rather, he was unwilling to give up.

He adjusted his glasses to cover up the situation, tried to force a smile on his face, and said through his teeth: "Maybe it was just an earthquake."

"We can't rule out this possibility," Chiba Cheng responded, then raised his right arm and tapped a few times on the small screen of his watch, saying, "Headquarters, an earthquake of unknown cause has occurred in Aoba City. We are applying to use the new X-ray detection satellite to conduct a deep scan of the strata and conduct real-time monitoring of the earthquake source."

Report it to the headquarters immediately and ask them to pay close attention to the source of the earthquake.

Another option is to ask the headquarters to come over and temporarily take over the PW wave equipment, and after eliminating the monster factor, continue the excavation of the dungeon.

Chiba Makoto did not avoid President Tachibana and spoke directly to him. That was so open and aboveboard.

President Tachibana couldn't hold back his expression after hearing this, and he didn't know how much he regretted it in his heart.

If I had known earlier.
Unfortunately, regret is priceless, and the loss of suspension of work is more than a thousand dollars.

It's not just the cost from suspension to resumption of work, but also the investor confidence, market reaction and consumers, which are all intangible losses.

This is like the first person who ate a tomato. Even if he was sunburned, the tomato juice flowing out of his mouth would be misinterpreted as vomiting blood, causing many people who were originally interested to avoid it, thus delaying the history of edible tomatoes.

That would be fine, the key point is that he will go bankrupt.

Not only did he devote countless efforts to Ritsuka Company, he also invested all his wealth to show his confidence and determination in the dungeon. After all, if you yourself have reservations, how can you convince others to invest?

Therefore, if the underground city cannot be built, all his struggles in the first half of his life will be in vain, and he will also owe a huge debt. I am afraid that he will not be able to pay it off even if he works like a slave for the rest of his life. He can only go to the rooftop to enjoy the cold wind and experience the acceleration of the earth's gravity.

When President Tachibana thought of so many serious consequences, he could hardly stand and his expression changed constantly.

Everyone who watched this felt sympathy for Dagu. The feeling of having one's dreams shattered and losing everything must be quite bad.

Chiba Makoto did not say anything to comfort him. There were so many people in this world who deserved sympathy, and there were so many people who were more pitiful than him. If he sympathized with everyone, he would probably have nothing to do in his life. Empathy alone was enough.

not to mention.
This guy doesn't deserve sympathy.

Lihua is probably only in his thirties or forties, but he is already the president of a large company. Ordinary people at this age would be laid off and look for jobs everywhere.

It’s still the same: the pity of rich people and the pity of ordinary people are completely different things.

Just like the rich people’s lack of money is something that ordinary people cannot earn even if they work hard for their entire lives.

What's more, this guy is not a good person.

In the original novel, he activated the PW wave regardless of everything, disregarding Aoba City, just to gamble that the PW wave could drive away the monster. The safety of tens of thousands of people was not as important as his "dream". This kind of thinking is too outlandish, how can this idea resonate with ordinary people?
Although the monster did not destroy Aoba City in the end, it headed straight here.

Although this construction site has basically achieved intelligent and automated development, there are still at least a hundred people working on it. In the original novel, the control building collapsed directly into the pit. How many people died and were buried with his "dream"?
Does he really not know that doing so could lead to more serious consequences?
Do not!
Chiba Makoto felt that he knew. How could someone who could become the president at this age be so naive and ignorant? But he still did it. The reason was very simple. He felt that the lives of so many people combined were not as important as his "dream".

Therefore, Chiba Makoto did not leave after reporting to the headquarters, but continued to stay in the main control room to control the situation to prevent this guy from "taking a gamble". There are so many employees here, and there are tens of thousands of people living in Aoba City. The street lamp hangers do not take ordinary people's lives seriously, but Chiba Makoto cannot do it. He wants to save everyone's life as much as possible, because behind each person there are many people who love him.

Chiba Makoto stood in front of the window with his hands folded in front of him, staring at the deep pit outside that had been dug for thirty or forty meters, and the waves of earth that had stopped surging, without saying a word.

President Tachibana stood there with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

The employees in the main control room didn't even dare to breathe. They just turned their heads slightly and communicated with their eyes and mouth.

The situation is very clear. Ultraman Tiga is sure that there are monsters nearby, and the main force for building the dungeon - the PW wave, will stimulate the monsters. Otherwise, an earthquake would not occur as soon as the PW wave is turned on, and the earthquake would subside when the PW wave is stopped.

Some employees whispered something in each other's ears, wondering if they should give it another try. Maybe it really was a coincidence.

People always hope for luck.

Some people thought that it was useless to try, because if the monster was attracted, everyone would be in trouble.
But someone immediately responded that the monsters were here and it was the monsters that would suffer. Once the monsters were eliminated, wouldn't it be possible to continue building the dungeon?

At first, they were just discussing in low voices, but soon more and more people joined in, and the voices became louder and louder, making the originally quiet control room gradually become noisy. President Tachibana became more and more annoyed, and he turned around abruptly, glared fiercely at the two employees who were whispering next to him, causing them to silence instantly and quickly lower their heads and pretend to be busy working.

It didn't take long before the Super Victory Team arrived at the scene. Captain Tsunehiko Kihiro came in with two main players, Yukihei Kariya and Tsutomu Nakajima.

"Captain Xibi!" Chiba Makoto briefly introduced the situation and emphasized the stimulation of the PW wave on the monsters.

"But it has been used without any problems before." President Tachibana did not give up and continued to defend himself. He was unwilling to stop the construction of the underground city. It was not a matter of stopping for two days, but he was afraid that if the news got out, it would trigger a chain reaction.

This is not groundless worry. The business world is like a battlefield. The situation changes rapidly and no one knows where an opponent is lurking, waiting for you to reveal a flaw.

Countless companies have gone bankrupt due to rumors, let alone real evidence.

"President Tachibana, we will investigate as soon as possible. If there is no monster, you can continue the project. If there is, we will deal with it immediately. It won't take long."

Kibi Gosuke comforted him.

Although Chiba Makoto has been basically confirmed, it is only a personal speculation after all, and more evidence and relevant deployment are needed.

"Stoppage would cause huge losses."

"If a monster appears and causes damage, the losses will only be greater." After Chiba Makoto finished speaking, he waved to Dagu and prepared to rush to the epicenter. Many departments of TPC had already arrived there and began to set up lines, assemble instruments, connect equipment, and conduct deep scans of the underground to determine whether there were any monsters.

If there is no monster, we need to find the cause of the cluster of earthquakes. If there is a monster, we need to start a battle and destroy it.

When Da Gu drove Chiba Makoto to the epicenter, 30 kilometers northeast of Aoba City, large-scale construction was underway there.

Construction vehicles were busy going back and forth, building temporary sites. Hercules helicopters were hoisting large amounts of equipment and placing them on the ground that had been hardened urgently. A large number of technicians were debugging these ground detection devices.

"Is it such a big deal?" Dagu was quite surprised when he saw the busy scene in front of him. It was just a guess. Was it necessary to have so many people come?
"Perhaps you think it could be the Sphia Synthetic Beast that escaped?"

Chiba Makoto made a guess. After all, ordinary monsters are not as threatening as the intelligent Sphia synthetic beast. That guy staying underground is like a time bomb. It might explode at any time, and no one knows where it will explode and how powerful it will be. How can people not worry?

As soon as I heard that a monster was found underground near Aoba City, I rushed over to take a look. What if it was the Sphia synthetic beast?

Even if it is not, it is still a monster and must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise Aoba City will be in danger.

"Look over there, the underground drilling beams have been set up." As soon as Dagu got off the car, he saw a huge monster. A tall iron tower was being erected, and a helicopter was hoisting a huge laser launcher to the top of the tower. It was TPC's most powerful weapon against the ground - the drilling beam.

"It seems that this monster was not just discovered."

Such a big scene made Chiba Cheng guess something.

In fact, TPC has never been so 'useless', but has always been very useful.

Take Golzan for example. It was not known until it came out of the ground. As early as 2002, at an international academic conference, scholars from Longge gave a large report. The results they presented were the discovery of a giant creature resembling an ancient dinosaur deep underground. They also found that the giant creature was becoming more and more active underground, and believed that it was very likely to break out of the ground one day.

And that giant creature was Golzan.

It was precisely because of the discovery of this giant creature that Director Sawai and Megumi Iruma believed it was necessary to form an emergency response team to deal with the endless stream of strange phenomena such as wild men, Mothmen, men in black, and demons appearing around the world.

After Golzan's appearance, TPC also strengthened its observations of underground areas around the world, discovered more than one monster, and used underground drilling beams many times to eliminate many giant creatures that might awaken in the near future.

The reason why Chiba Makoto knew about this was that after joining TPC and reading the relevant records, he suddenly realized that TPC had done so many things quietly.

Therefore, after seeing TPC mobilizing such a large force, Chiba Makoto felt that this monster might have been under TPC's monitoring all along, and the decision should have been made to destroy it.

As for the monsters that are still under monitoring, there should be some, but there are many reasons why they have not been eliminated, and depth is the biggest reason.

The underground drilling beam cannot drill continuously and will gradually weaken as the depth increases. Therefore, before using the drilling beam, a comprehensive consideration will be made of the underground rock strata, depth, and monsters. Only when it is certain that the monster can be eliminated will an annihilation operation be launched to prevent the monster from being awakened instead of being eliminated, which would be a loss.
