my tech museum

The sound of panic sounded in the core command and control cabin of the battleship, and it was transmitted to the ears of everyone in the ship. Li Chengzhe, who was wearing a blue cabin suit, trembled slightly, his eyes were fixed on the screen, and he murmured softly as if talking to himself: " How could something like this happen is really terrifying."

Xu Lei has never seen Li Chengzhe with such a performance.

The thought that popped up in my mind instantly was that something big must happen.

At this time, he resolutely put away the previous joy, and immediately came to Li Chengzhe's side to confirm the situation.

Speaking of which, Xu Lei has experienced many things, and many of them are related to the safety of all parties. Simply put, he is someone who has seen big scenes.

Under normal circumstances, it should be possible that Mount Tai will collapse in front of you without changing your face.

This is in line with his identity.

But this time, he was the one who was mentally prepared. After seeing the information on the screen, he couldn't help but froze in place for an instant, with strong horror and surprise in his eyes.

Obviously things were completely beyond his expectations.

The content on the screen comes from the transmission screen of the Tiangong space station. If you look over, you can clearly see a large number of marine life corpses floating on the sea surface, and many of them can’t even be named. It is simply the scene of large-scale marine specimen selection.

The key is that this is different from the scene seen in the seafood market.

There was no wound blood on any of the corpses. If it wasn't for the lack of movement, they might have thought they were falling asleep collectively.

It gives people a strong visual impact, as if the whole picture is filled with dead silence.

Yue Mo was stunned for a few seconds before Xu Lei woke up.

For the time being, put away the monstrous waves in my heart, and asked with a firm mind: "Where is this sea area, why is there such a large area of ​​marine life dying?"

"According to the information from Tiangong, this sea area belongs to the western part of the Pacific Ocean. Because it was observed by the space telescope, the real cause of death cannot be determined yet, but the scope of this situation is still growing." Li Chengzhe according to his own knowledge Reported the information, and added at the end: "However, it is known that a meteorite fell at this location before the situation occurred."

After hearing this, Xu Lei subconsciously clenched his fists and his face was gloomy.

He is not a fool.

Marine life has multiplied so far, and such a bizarre phenomenon has never occurred before.

Even if someone deliberately pours drugs, it is impossible to kill all the creatures in this sea area.

This does not conform to the laws of science.

Combined with the fact that this situation only appeared when the meteorite fell into the sea, Xu Lei's thinking quickly came up with a very bad idea.

Perhaps the changes in marine life are related to meteorites.

After all, this never-before-seen situation occurred after the meteorite fell into the ocean.

It doesn't work if you don't have associations.

And Xu Lei also captured a key word.

That is, the entire death range of marine life is still spreading continuously.

This is the trickiest.

Not to mention the impact of the extinction of marine life on human beings, if it continues to spread to land, not only land creatures will be doomed, but billions of human beings around the world will not be able to guarantee their safety.

It is bound to cause a huge blow to human civilization.

A large number of thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Xu Lei immediately and decisively issued various response instructions.

"Immediately take over the real-time observations from Tiangong's space telescope, and let the Mars base collect and test the meteorite fragments." Just after explaining these two sentences to Li Chengzhe, he shifted his gaze to Xingtong the next second: "Let The nearest ship goes to the target sea area to confirm the situation, and the underground dormant base is temporarily closed, and all intelligent industrial robots are controlled to execute expulsion instructions, so that others can return to the empty hole and continue to hide.”

"By the way, all robots are dispatched to carry out these tasks, and you must be careful when operating meteorites." Xu Lei added an extra sentence just after finishing the sentence.

The sudden change instantly dilutes the original atmosphere of joy, and the entire Shenzhou becomes tense and busy again.

But everyone also understands the seriousness of this matter, and it is necessary to find out the cause of the death of marine life as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it will be very unfavorable for human beings to fall into passivity.

"I'll link up with Tiangong and the Mars military base immediately." Li Chengzhe received Xu Lei's order and began to operate on the console with both hands while talking.

Xingtong nodded heavily: "It's the boss."

……

Soon Tiangong and Shenzhou completed information docking, and the picture of the Pacific Ocean on the screen finally changed.

It can be seen that with the passage of the coordinates, more and more areas where the corpses of marine organisms emerge are spreading around the center where the meteorite landed.

Staring at this picture, the anger in Xu Lei's heart also continued to rise.

I thought that the Pluto crisis would finally be resolved this time, and that human civilization would usher in a new stage of development, paving the way for efforts to enter a second-level civilization.

If all the deaths of marine life are really related to Pluto, it means that the extraterrestrial civilization has also made double guarantees.

It just wants to completely clean up the life on the planet Earth.

It can be said that this time Liangzi has grown up.

Since they did things that invaded human civilization, they also had to pay the price of the consequences.

Under mature conditions, Xu Lei doesn't mind using their civilization resources as a springboard for humans to break out of the solar system.

But these are all for later.

top priority.

It is necessary to find a way to prevent the death from continuing to spread.

"Mr. Xu, what is going on here? Hasn't the Pluto crisis been resolved?"

Worried about these things, Xu Lei subconsciously turned his head to look at the secondary screen of the battleship control system after being woken up by the familiar voice. It was the person in charge of the Yas, Mr. Enoch, and the captain of the Future.

They also all have the authority to receive Tiangong data, and they must have understood the seriousness of the problem by actively connecting at this time.

Although this answer is difficult for people to accept, now Xu Lei has to tell the truth: "As you have seen, the special death incident in the ocean, I suspect for the time being that it was caused by the meteorite falling after the Pluto shattered. We are currently actively responding.”

"Xie Te, these extraterrestrial civilizations are simply bandits and bandits, damn it!" Knowing that the crisis was far from over, Enoch's face pulled down instantly.

He uttered a foul language directly in front of everyone.

It is enough to see his mood at this time.

However, it is completely normal to have such a reaction. After all, if it were not for this incident, he might have returned to his manor to enjoy life now.

There's no need to stay on a battleship and suffer.

The current situation of Earth and planets is unknown, no matter how you look at it, space is the safest.

You can't land until you figure out the situation.

And at this moment, the representative of Yan Fang, dressed as a middle-aged man on the Future, also said: "No matter what, we must do everything possible to ensure the safety of people's lives."

"Don't worry, I will do my best." Xu Lei promised.

Judging from the current situation, with the speed at which the area of ​​death spreads, there should still be some time before reaching the land.

Not helpless and waiting to die.

It's just the island forces in the ocean, the situation may not be so good.

In order to control the first-hand information, Xu Lei also issued a new order to Xingtong again: "Xingtong, calculate the speed of the spread of the death range, I want to know the specific time."

"The command has been received and is being calculated..."

Perhaps it is because Xingtong has a heavy task to be responsible for this time, and the response has gradually become formulaic.

Of course Xu Lei didn't care.

Just patiently waiting for the results of all aspects.

It is said that waiting is a very torturous thing, this time Xu Lei finally experienced it personally.

Especially seeing more and more sea creatures floating on the sea surface, the mood is extremely complicated. After all, even if the crisis can be resolved, just cleaning up these animal carcasses will be a lot of trouble.

……

……

at the same time.

The No. [-] underground dormant base in Liganife.

With Xingtong executing Xu Lei's instructions and properly opening permissions for intelligent industrial robots, the situation suddenly ushered in a different change.

under authority.

Smart industrial robots are allowed to wield greater power.

It can even fight back in self-defense.

Because most people do not have weapons in their hands, the damage they can cause to the mechanical bodies of intelligent industrial robots is limited, so they do not lose their combat effectiveness.

The area at the entrance of the base was regained control soon after the strength was increased.

prevent others from destroying.

At the same time, the announcement that the underground dormant base will not be opened temporarily and the public is asked to return to the air-raid shelter is played in a loop.

"The Human Security Alliance orders that the underground dormant base will not be opened for the time being. All members of the public are requested to return to the air-raid shelter immediately. The crisis is not over yet!"

……

Originally under the rhythm of the members of the Allah Organization, many people thought that Future Technology deliberately did not open the underground dormant base.

Not only is this true now, but the smart industrial robots even fought back, which ignited the crowd's emotions even more. Not only did they not follow the advice to return to the air-raid shelter, they even started a more intense fight with the smart industrial robots.

"You understand now that future technology has no intention of waking them up. They want to use robots to rule the entire human race."

"Kill these robots and save our relatives and friends."

"Everyone do it together."

The scene became very chaotic for a while.

And Lydia, the founder of the Allah Organization, who is in control of the situation outside the base, couldn't help but have a crazy smile on her face at this time.

Although she didn't know why the Human Security Alliance continued to close the underground dormant base, this incident successfully became her reason for creating chaos, and it seemed that everything was going according to her plan.

Seeing the intelligent industrial robots produced by Future Technology being completely beaten by humans, she felt the pleasure of defeating Xu Lei.

"Xu Lei, I hope you will be satisfied with this gift I gave you." While sneering and muttering, he still couldn't help feeling a little regretful: "It's a pity that Yanfang doesn't have our people there."

Lydia doesn't believe the nonsense that the crisis is still unsolved. After all, Pluto has long been completely destroyed. The meteorite falling from the sky is the best proof. In her opinion, the Human Security Alliance seems to be immersed in victory. Joy, thus ignoring the dormant base thing that caused the chaos.

As for the old man who followed her, after hearing all these words, his expression was a bit complicated.

He always felt that things were not so simple.

But in the end, after a little hesitation, he chose to keep silent.

In addition, just as Li Yadi said, although violent conflicts between humans and intelligent industrial robots have occurred in many overseas regions, the country is still relatively stable.

Originally, most of the people were still staying in the air-raid shelter, and they would not leave when they heard the news that the crisis had not been resolved.

After all, since the Pluto crisis appeared, I have been waiting for several years, so how could it be a few days away.

So what if you wake up early and wake up late.

Anyway, it won't have any effect on the body.

Even those who couldn't stand the loneliness and left the air-raid shelter ran back after walking a long way.

The main thing is not to be afraid of ten thousand but just in case.

Compared with the adventurous spirit that is more respected overseas, Chinese people prefer prudence.

of course.

Among the hundreds of millions of people outside, there must be those who like to die.

There is only one word of congratulations for this.

As the saying goes, good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost, at such an important time, that's all Xu Lei can do.

It is obviously impossible for him to ask those who died to return to the air-raid shelter.

There is no time.

-

If you want to find out the real reason for the death of marine life and determine the relationship between this matter and Pluto, the most convenient and direct way is to go to the western Pacific Ocean where the incident broke out, test the sea water there and dissect the dead life forms to get the truth .

Things would be much easier if the largest meteorite that ever crashed to the bottom of the ocean could be recovered.

That's why Xu Lei gave the order to send nearby ships to investigate.

However, it is not yet possible to guarantee whether it will be dangerous for people to go there. In this case, it is a good choice to let intelligent industrial robots perform tasks.

Anyway, under the operation of Xingtong, the efficiency is much higher than that of scientists in related fields.

Xingtong is very aware of the importance of this matter and the determination of her boss, so she naturally dare not hesitate after receiving the order.

After information screening, a scientific research ship docked at the port of the Neon Country was finally selected. After easily obtaining its control authority, it controlled the nearby intelligent industrial robot to enter the ship, and then sailed to the place where the marine life died at the fastest speed. sea ​​area.

And dock the driving data of the scientific research ship with the Shenzhou.

Besides.

Xu Lei can also directly view the perspective of any intelligent industrial robot, which can more intuitively discover problems in the ocean.

Speaking of both sides, the Mars military base is not idle at the moment.

Because after manipulating the planetary defense orbital gun to destroy the antimatter power plant inside Pluto, Ye Junmin ordered everyone to enter a concealed state to prevent themselves from being affected by the impact of the explosion and the falling meteorite.

I have to say that Ye Junmin and the others are really lucky.

None of the meteorites that fell to the surface of Mars came close to where the base is located.

No one at base was affected.

So after receiving the emergency mission from the Shenzhou, Ye Junmin immediately ordered everyone to enter a state of combat readiness and resume the normal operation of the base.

At the same time, Mars rovers and space robots will be sent out to search for meteorites and prepare for a comprehensive inspection.

The next day.

Around seven in the morning.

After several hours of sailing, the scientific research ship controlled by Xingtong finally approached the target sea area.

The range of death of the main marine organisms also spreads in a positive direction, and the affected area also expands many times at night, so the star pupil does not need to enter the source to find the situation.

Fortunately, there are no other ships in sight at the moment.

Otherwise, if you bump into a research ship full of intelligent industrial robots without any crew members, your soul will probably be scared away.

After all, it is indeed terrifying in a certain way.

"What is there in the sea that makes all creatures so afraid!"

For many animals, relying on their own keen senses far surpassing that of human beings, they can sometimes avoid disasters to a certain extent, and discover the occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis in time.

to react in advance.

At this time, Xu Lei saw the sea situation through the perspective of an intelligent industrial robot, and this was the first reaction in his heart.

Because he clearly saw a large number of sea creatures fleeing frantically.

It seemed that there was some scourge chasing after him.

The reason why fleeing is used to describe abnormal animal migration is that their swimming appears to be very flustered, and even hunters and food companions have not attacked.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Unless they all feel the danger approaching.

Of course, Xu Lei is no longer afraid of this bizarre situation.

He came here with a ship of intelligent industrial robots, even if there were special circumstances, he was not afraid at all, at most, the operation failed.

Destroy the body of some industrial robots.

No harm at all.

Seeing this, he immediately gave instructions to Xingtong: "Collect seawater, do a control group test later, and properly capture marine organisms as samples for research."

Following Xu Lei's words, before Xingtong could respond, many intelligent industrial robots started to move in the screen.

Rely on the equipment on board to obtain seawater and biological samples.

Since these marine creatures are in a state of frantically fleeing to the outside, it is easy to capture them.

It didn't take long to see the fish's new home in terrariums on the deck.

But it can be seen that their condition is not very good, they are still hitting the glass crazily, and their movements are getting bigger and bigger as the research ship moves.

Facing this unprecedented scene, Xu Lei was even more curious.

Think of what could be the reason for this.

that's it.

After sailing for another 10 minutes, the scientific research ship finally entered the sea area where marine life died.

As far as the eye can see, there are various corpses floating on the calm sea.

Compared with the observation screen of Tiangong, the camera on the intelligent industrial robot is undoubtedly clearer, allowing Xu Lei to see the whole situation intuitively.

Especially the corpse of an adult humpback whale right in front of the research ship is even more regrettable.

"This scene is too tragic. I really can't think of any way to achieve this level." Li Chengzhe, who also saw this scene, stretched out his finger and pressed his temple, and his words revealed a little sadness.

The development of human civilization has caused the extinction of many species. If the ocean becomes the Dead Sea in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Don't worry, this debt will be recovered sooner or later from the extraterrestrial civilization." Xu Lei reassured with firm eyes, his eyes still locked on the screen.

Since extraterrestrial civilizations have taken a fancy to the earth and stars, they have used various methods to completely eliminate human civilization.

Then I believe that the other party will definitely enter the solar system sooner or later.

At that time, as long as human civilization still exists, it will bring them a nightmare they will never forget.

If an outsider hears that the alien civilization will have to pay the price, most of them will think that this person is crazy. After all, no matter how you look at it, the alien civilization has a stronger technological level.

But Li Chengzhe firmly believed in this.

Not for the other.

Just because Xu Lei said this.

While Xu Lei and Li Chengzhe were talking about this matter, Xingtong on the research ship had already controlled the intelligent robot to extract new seawater samples and corpses.

And immediately use the equipment on board to conduct detailed inspections.

But what everyone didn't expect was that before the test results came out, all the experimental fish that were still alive in the original glass container died inexplicably.

It seems that there is some special energy field in this area, which can carry out precise strikes against carbon-based life.

Just know that these experimental fish in the glass container did not come into contact with the polluted seawater, but they still could not escape the bad luck of death. This situation shows that it is very likely that this widespread death strange event is not limited to seawater.

The range representing death continues until it covers the entire globe.

"How could this happen? They are all dead. Doesn't that mean that the creatures on land will also..."

After this terrible idea appeared in Li Chengzhe's mind, he didn't dare to continue talking, because if this was the case, at least billions of human beings would be in danger of death.

Even the people in the underground dormant cabin don't know if something will happen.

They always thought that the impact of Pluto was the biggest crisis facing human civilization, but now it seems that this strange death is even more frightening.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Xu Lei quickly ordered again: "Xing Tong, hurry up and find out the cause of death, you must hurry up!"

Under such tremendous pressure, in addition to Xingtong's efficiency being raised to the extreme, the Mars military base also successfully obtained samples of meteorites and conducted detailed research.

In the end, the corresponding detection data was not transmitted to the Shenzhou until near noon.

But after reading it, everyone was silent.

It has been detected that the meteorite contains a special substance that does not exist on the earth or even in the solar system. It is very likely that it is the research result of an extraterrestrial civilization. After this substance reacts with seawater, it will directly destroy the genetic chain and cells, causing them to die in a very short time.

And the scope of its influence will also be the entire planet Earth.

In Xu Lei's view, this is more like a transformation of the earth and stars.

While completely exterminating the aborigines of the earth star, the environment was transformed into a state suitable for the habitation of extraterrestrial civilizations.

When the result was finally presented to Xu Lei, even though there was no solution, Xu Lei still confirmed one thing.

"Xing Tong, how long will it take for the area of ​​influence to reach the land?"

"According to calculations, the dead matter will reach the land in ten days and cover the whole world in one month." Facing his boss's question, Xingtong replied without the slightest emotion.

"Is there still ten days left?" Xu Lei repeated this time softly like talking to himself, not knowing what he was thinking at this moment.
