The world enters the age of myth

Chapter 174 The mysterious x element

"You're back? It's good to be back, it's good to be back...What happened?"

When Ding Yuan and other administrative officials heard about this incident, they took it very seriously and rushed over immediately.

When he heard about the coma and the tragic situation of some people being killed, although Ding Yuan said nothing, the figure wandering back and forth in the room showed that he was not at peace in his heart.

He quickly issued a new order: the Sea of ​​Clouds set sail again, heading to the depths of the Yang River to get rid of this white mist that might mutate humans!

The Unkai's movement speed is not very fast. Because the tonnage is so large, it can only move at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour. Any faster will consume the life of the engine. Fortunately, after the destroyer returned, all the personnel had arrived. As long as it continued to sail towards the depths of the Yang River, that is, the direction of the sun, and as long as it lasted long enough, it would eventually be able to sail out of the coverage of the white fog.

In this way, until six o'clock in the afternoon the next day, after more than ten hours of emergency navigation, the Yunhai basically escaped from the area shrouded in white clouds and mist, and once again came to the area covered by sunlight.

"The sunshine...is so nice."

This sun, which has been hanging in the west for months and has not set for a long time, gives everyone a certain degree of security.

Lu Yiming stretched out and basked in the sun for a while through the glass window.

He didn't sleep very well yesterday. After returning to the Sea of ​​Clouds, he had to undergo various physical examinations. After the physical examination was completed, he couldn't eat directly and could only rely on intravenous nutrient solution to maintain body functions. He was starving to death.

In addition, the nerves in my brain were still very nervous and had not calmed down for a long time. I could only take some sleeping pills and slept for ten hours in a hurry.

He is under quarantine, in other words, all of them are under quarantine investigation.

Of course, the isolation of these sober people is somewhat different from that of other people.

At least they are still sane, so they live in the Central Building. The unconscious person was temporarily locked in the safe room above the deck, which was also the prison.

Looking down from the high altitude of the central mountain, you can see the vast white clouds and mist more than 30 kilometers away. It is no longer spreading.

"This layer of clouds and mist is basically a disaster for this planet. It has even spread to the surrounding areas of the Yang River. However, the creatures in the water have not been greatly affected. Does this mean that this substance seems to be insoluble in water?"

Lu Yiming always felt that his internal organs had been moved to a different position. He was not very comfortable and he did not even dare to eat. For the time being, he could only maintain body functions through intravenous infusion of nutrient solution.

"Mr. Lu Yiming, you need to attend a high-level remote meeting of Yunhai at seven o'clock in the evening."

"okay, got it."

Lu Yiming nodded and clicked on the big screen in the room.

Seeing everyone gathered, Ding Yuan sat in the middle of the round table and said seriously: "I believe everyone has heard about what happened in the early hours of yesterday morning."

"Our losses are too heavy..."

"Two of the monsters were captured by our expedition team, and the others have escaped."

"The above is the basic situation. Let's talk about it. You can make some suggestions. Regarding this continent, should we give up exploring it?"

"Also... can this world-class disaster be solved?"

"We need clarity!"

Yes, this loss was too heavy, and the atmosphere in the conference room was heavy.

According to medical examination, a small amount of crystal-like material appeared inside their bodies, especially around the heart.

Scientists do not yet know whether these crystals will cause health damage to humans, including mental and psychological disorders. It is not yet clear whether these people will become madmen after they wake up.

So they were all imprisoned in a safe house, and were strictly monitored even if they were in a coma. The army even prepared some high-explosive bombs outside the safe house. Although the formed monster, which is more than three meters high and six meters long, has strong vitality and a bomb may not kill it, the newly born little monster can still be dealt with with a bomb.

"I'm thinking, if we discover the New World again in the future, should we wear rubber protective suits?" Lu Yiming said in front of the screen.

"You mean to completely isolate the air... to avoid risks?" Shi Dayong shook his head: "It's unlikely. Let's not talk about our technological strength. We can't create that kind of completely airtight living space. In a destroyer Survival, coming and going, cannot be isolated from the outside air.”

"Besides, how can you move around in a thick rubber protective suit? Are you exploring the outside world with dozens of kilograms of oxygen tanks on your back?"

"Hey, that's right."

Generally, a 10-liter medical oxygen bottle weighs about 18 kilograms, which means it can be used for 10 hours. Most of the weight is the bottle. This 18 kilogram load-bearing capacity is really too much. After all, the expedition team also needs to carry guns, ammunition, medicine, etc., and these things are very heavy.

And 10 hours of oxygen time may be enough to carry out a mission in space. After all, space exploration cannot be too far away from the spacecraft.

But exploring the New World is obviously not enough.

At this time, a biologist took the lead and said: "Everyone, first of all, it is a biological investigation. We extracted a little white mist, analyzed it, and found that its characteristics are very strange. Most of it is ordinary water vapor. A small part is a variety of miscellaneous trace elements, and an extremely complex and unheard of strange substance. This compound, we call it element x."

"We conducted another animal experiment. Most of the mice will enter a very serious state of overeating after inhaling the mist. During the overeating process, the more food they eat, the more crystals will be in their bodies. .”

"Finally, it couldn't bear the mutation and began to vomit crazily, spit out its heart, and then died."

Lu Yiming swallowed, this was similar to what they observed.

"Then what?" someone couldn't help but ask.

The scientist cleared his throat: "The next scene will be even stranger... The gluttonous fellows will frantically snatch the heart. After they eat the heart, they will undergo further mutations and become a more... Stronger creatures can also eat more food..."

"Next, these mice have enough ability to break through the glass box. We dare not continue the experiment and kill all these experimental samples."

"This is all the biological information so far. Further research needs to be continued..."

There was a discussion in the conference room.

That’s it for today’s update!
