Chapter 88 Gravitational Lens
what?
Is there anything?

Chi Heng's eyes were piercing, and his mental concentration was highly concentrated, trying to find the reason for the "old man" to bark.

However, what made him suspicious was that the passageway was so big that it was impossible for anything to escape his sight.

He even adjusted the flashlight to the highest gear. In this gear, the flashlight will output 15000 lumens, with a range of more than 500 meters. The feeling of the sun setting can be described as a tube covering the sky, as bright as day.

This is because he considered that expedition lighting is the top priority, so he bought it when he was purchasing in Boston. Conventional flashlights are very cheap, but such a special flashlight costs $550. When turned on to the maximum setting, the eyes of the enemy will flash blind.

Of course, the output of 15000 lumens is not without cost, that is, it can only last for 1 minute at this gear, and the brightness must be reduced. It’s not that the battery can’t support it, but the heat dissipation can’t support it.

Under such light, not to mention anything else, even a needle and thread can be seen clearly, and there is no way that anything can be hidden. Chi Heng swept back and forth, but no creature the size of a cockroach was found, but the "old man" bow He bowed his waist, bared his teeth and did not relax.

The maximum gear of the flashlight is automatically lowered.

Holding the hot flashlight, Chi Heng squatted down and stroked the dog's head, "'Old Man', what's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"

"Wang Wang."

The "old man" licked Chi Heng's palm, bit his sleeve with his mouth, and pulled it hard.

The abnormal performance of the "old man" made Chi Heng puzzled. Just as he was about to open the mouth of the "old man", the "broken copper and iron" next to him finally said: "Sir, look ahead."

Chi Heng turned his head away, and the flashlight shone with low brightness, which made him startled.

"what is that?"

Not a human figure, nor any animal or humanoid monster encountered before on the edge of the bottomless pit.

What exactly is that?
If Chi Heng were to describe it in words, it would be almost impossible to find suitable words.

It is like a "gravitational lens" floating in the air, which distorts the light irradiated by the flashlight and bends the light that was originally traveling in a straight line. The effect is similar to the refraction of light by a lens.

Surprised, Chi Heng adjusted the focus of the flashlight almost subconsciously, so that the light no longer shines in a flood mode, but in a clustered mode.

It can be clearly seen that when the light beam hits the blurred "gravitational lens", the light beam is forcibly bent and refracted to the ceiling of the passageway.

Gravitational lensing is a phenomenon in which a massive celestial body bends nearby space-time, thereby bending light. Such massive celestial bodies are often at the level of stars.

How is it possible here?

If there is such a massive celestial body, let alone Chi Heng, even the earth will be destroyed in an instant.

So if it's not a massive celestial body, what is that thing that bends the beam?lens?

No, not like.

Chi Heng still recognizes what is an optical element such as a lens. The "gravitational lens" more than ten meters away from him, no matter from which angle he irradiates the light beam, it will bend and deflect. The light beam does not happen when it passes through the "gravitational lens". refracts, but bends when approaching it.

This is the essential difference.

Like a transparent sphere, any approaching light is bent and deformed, but it has no effect on the material that actually exists, such as the channel.

Chi Heng couldn't imagine that he had just arrived at the research base, and he hadn't even stepped into the research base before he encountered such a weird thing.

In contrast, the humanoid monster that appeared on the edge of the bottomless pit is relatively cute, at least it is an understandable existence, such as genetic mutation or radiation.

But how to understand this kind of thing?

Beyond the scope of existing science can explain.

"Junk, what's that?"

Chi Heng held the "Red Dragon" nervously with his left hand, took a step back and asked "Broken copper and rotten iron".

"Junk doesn't know either... There is no electromagnetic wave signature such as infrared rays, everything is 'normal', and it can only be distinguished from the bending of the irradiated light."

"Battered copper and iron" raised his hand, and the laser flashed away. Although the device that can perform laser welding cannot maintain long-distance collimation and high power, the divergent spot can still be maintained at a distance of tens of meters. finger size.

From infrared to ultraviolet, "broken copper and iron" constantly adjust the wavelength of the laser, and the laser beyond the wavelength of visible light is invisible to the human naked eye.

But "broken copper and rotten iron" can be seen.

"Sir, it can bend light from 193-694 wavelengths."

"Broken copper and iron" said: "This is very similar to the phenomenon of gravitational lensing caused by a massive celestial body, but it is not a massive celestial body, and Junk can't understand it."

Obviously, this is also beyond the scope of understanding of "broken copper and iron".

Chi Heng watched the "gravitational lens" suddenly appear, thus blocking the entire passage back, and while trembling with fear, he also asked: "You said... this thing can only bend massless light, Or can it affect anything that has mass?"

"Junk can try."

"Battered copper and rotten iron" looked at Chi Heng and asked for an order.

"Huh, let me try."

Chi Heng took a deep breath, "Come and observe."

He retracted the "Red Dragon", pulled out the Glock 17, aimed at the strange unknown, and pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

After the gunshot, he made sure that his shooting direction was correct. After all, the "gravitational lens" continuously bends the light emitted by it, and it can be clearly observed that it has a diameter of almost two meters.

However, nothing happened.

Did the bullet go through?
Chi Heng was taken aback.

The "broken copper and iron" next to it is not equipped with a super high-speed camera, so it cannot observe the whereabouts of the bullets.

It said: "Sir, change something."

"Ah."

Use a gun, just to test it out.

Seeing that the "gravitational lens" did not pose any further threats, Chi Heng was slightly relieved.

"Wang Wang."

The "old man" is still hostile to the "gravitational lens", which surprised Chi Heng. So, can the dog "old man" detect the "gravitational lens" in advance?

And with the fear and fear of the dog, there is some kind of threat in the "gravitational lens"?
What he took out from his backpack was a bottle of mineral water that he drank up when he went downstairs. He didn't throw it around and put it in his backpack.

At this time, Chi Heng took it out, filled it with a little water, tested the feel, and threw it forward.

He opened his eyes wide, not wanting to let go of a slight change.

But change...

What is the change?
The mineral water bottle was thrown over like a spin, and quickly crossed a distance of more than ten meters, reaching the "gravitational lens" that bends light, and then...

Disappeared.
