Chapter 331: Pulling the Antarctic continent!

~14 min read 2,607 words

"Lake Vostok is located in the east of Antarctica, about 250 kilometers long and 50 kilometers wide. It is 1,500 kilometers away from the coastline."
Walking in the all-inclusive passage of the Luan Bird aircraft platform, the personal terminals of the star clusters projected the topographic map of Antarctica and marked their current location.
Because time was limited, they did not sit down and have a slow meeting.
As Zhuxingtuan walked, he introduced the current situation to Tang Mu.
"We have roughly locked the location of the space channel, right in the center of Lake Vostok."
As Zhu Xinguan spoke, the projection screen began to move, giving a close-up of the center.
"Why didn't I see the lake? Isn't it all ice?"
Beidou next to him put his head over.
The star cluster directly switched the projection screen to a cross-section of Lake Vostok, which was simple and clear now.
The so-called largest lake in Antarctica is itself under 4,000 meters of ice.
In other words, if they want to go down, the first thing they have to cross is the thick ice layer four thousand meters deep.
As everyone walked towards the hangar, they continued: "When the Antarctic scientific expedition team discovered this lake in the early years, they found nothing unusual."
"Just to avoid destroying the ecological environment of the subglacial lake, they finally drilled deep to a position of 150 meters away from the lake."
"And the borehole is too small and cannot allow our personnel and equipment to pass through. In other words, our top priority now should be to drill a large hole that leads directly to the lake."
While a few people were talking, Zhuxingtuan had already led them to the hangar inside Luanniao.
After everyone boarded the two Feiyans, they flew directly towards their destination.
The distance of five kilometers is not far, and at the speed of the Feiyan, it has quickly reached the target.
First park the two fighter planes on the ice field aside.
Zhu Xingtuan sat in the cab again and pointed at the people who were working on the construction in front.
The National Defense Force will set up an outpost nearby to deal with possible emergencies that may occur in the future.
Next, they will continue to go deeper along the borehole left by the scientific expedition team decades ago, break through the last 150 meters, and first go deep into the seawater to detect the situation.
In order to collect intelligence and plan for the next action.
At least the so-called space passage must be found first.
"Tom, although a large hole 4,000 meters deep can be drilled here using conventional drilling equipment, the speed is too slow after all. Is there anything you can do?"
Seeing Zhu Xingtuan looking at him, Tang Mu gave a thumbs up to indicate that there was no problem.
"Okay! Let's conduct reconnaissance operations first."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Zhu Xingluan jumped out of the cockpit.
A group of people from the victory team also got off the plane.
Follow the star clusters all the way forward.
In a temporary military tent, they met scientists from the National Defense Forces and a scientific research team nearby.
After receiving the news that the space channel may be in the Antarctic, the personnel of these scientific expedition teams had already arrived before the defense forces arrived.
On the computer in front of them, you can clearly see a probe that is moving downwards.
Several monitors next to it show various parameters.
One of the drill bits that keeps going downward is quite intuitive.
"Captain of the Star Team."
When someone saw Zhu Xingtuan and the others coming in, they immediately said hello.
"Have you already started?"
Zhu Xingtuan asked after returning the gift.
"Yes, we used the latest equipment from the National Defense Forces and continued to drill down along the drill holes left by the previous scientific expedition team. We will soon be able to completely break through the ice."
An expert answered the cluster of stars.
While everyone was talking, the four thousand meters of ice was completely drilled through.
The picture captured by the probe on the display screen in front of him was also clearly transmitted.
The first thing they saw was the vast expanse of blue.
That's a pretty pure blue.
In the lens, you can see tiny ice crystals falling from top to bottom.
Tiny bubbles floated from bottom to top.
Everyone present widened their eyes, trying to see clearly what was going on in the lake.
Many people have predicted it, because after testing, the temperature of Lake Vostok is only minus three degrees, and the oxygen content is huge.
There is a very rich ecology down there.
There may even be creatures from long ago, and it is estimated that behemoths exceeding one hundred tons can be born.
Although one hundred tons is not worth mentioning in a world where monsters roam everywhere.
But for a normal ecological environment, the mystery of Lake Vostok is quite attractive.
In the past, because they were worried about damaging the environment, the scientific expedition team's research was only scratching the surface.
Now because of another more important thing, the ecological environment of Lake Vostok is no longer so important.
Although it is a pity.
But in fact, all the scientific researchers still want to see some biological discoveries that can shock the world.
But as the probe went deeper, the faces of everyone present began to become increasingly serious.
There was nothing.
The colorful underwater world as expected does not exist at all!
There is only a blue lake below.
Apart from that, there is nothing...
"Hiss... shouldn't be..."
One person's eyes widened, posted directly on the screen, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Could it be all microorganisms?"
The scientific expedition team is still struggling.

The defense forces didn't think that much.
The whistler system was turned on, the probe moved slowly in the water, and began to swim slowly in one direction.
In order to ensure the transmission of the picture, a long orange-red strap has been connected to the underwater probe.
Two small turbines rotate slowly, rolling up a small piece of foam.
The underwater probe keeps moving in a deeper direction.
Behind it, a long orange-red conveyor belt floats slowly in the lake.
A few minutes later, someone next to him tapped Tom on the shoulder and motioned him to look at the screen.
The person taking the photo of Tom Mu was Beidou, and his expression was quite exciting.
Tom Mu, who was about to fall asleep, quickly shook his head to make his brain clearer, and then looked at the display screen.
As soon as he saw the scarlet color on the display screen, Tang Mu's eyes widened!
familiar!
This is so familiar!
Although the shape of the space channel in contact with Tang Mu is very different.
But the feeling is no different.
The floating tentacles and the scarlet color made it look like he had seen the space passage in Silent Hill.
In the high-definition photography of the underwater probe, everyone can see a huge sarcoma beating like a heart.
That sarcoma is really quite big, with a diameter of fifty or sixty meters according to visual inspection.
A translucent film wraps the sarcoma, and a disturbing number of tentacles slowly wriggle around the sarcoma.
The underwater camera circled around the sarcoma and scanned it at the same time, transmitting real-time data to the computer on the ice.
Immediately afterwards, the subordinate's probe began to slowly go down again.
Two bright lights hit the bottom of the sarcoma.
Everyone saw that a large mass of flesh and blood like an umbilical cord extended downward from under the sarcoma to the bottom of the lake.
The underwater probe stretched out two small mechanical claws and seemed to pull off a little tissue from the root below the sarcoma for research.
The result is completely useless...
The mechanical claw has turned at its maximum power, but the tough root still doesn't move at all.
There is no other way. The underwater probe can only return the way it came.
No matter what, they have at least completely determined the direction of the space passage.
That rhizome should be directly connected to the earth.
Only in this way can we subtly pollute so many monsters.
They also saw the tumor.
There is indeed a passage inside.
There are even some huge black shadows shaking in it.
It seems that as long as they want, they can pass through those membranes and come to their world at any time.
"Tom, I leave it to you."
Zhuxingtuan looked at Tang Mu who was aside.
Time is precious.
Now that they have found the space passage, it is time for them to take action.
Tom Mu was also very happy. He left the military tent and ran towards the ice field ahead.
They have roughly defined the scope.
Tom Mu took out the knife and fork directly.
First, use a knife to draw a big circle on the ground.
Then use the fork to plunge directly into the ice circle in front of you!
"Aha!"
Tom Mu raised his eyebrows, and lifted up all the huge 4,000-meter-deep ice under the ice sheet with joy!
It's still a very standard cylinder!
The one-meter-two tall cat held a fork in his right hand and inserted a huge 4,000-meter-high ice layer directly from the ice sheet!
No, it should be more appropriately called an iceberg now!
One meter two to four thousand.
This contrast was so strong that everyone present was dumbfounded.
Although Zhu Xingtuan had been prepared in his heart, he still took a breath of cold air when he saw that Tang Mu was so casual and even brought out the machine to make crushed ice directly.
This cat can always look calm and do things that are shocking.
"Let's go down and take a look at the space passage."
Zhu Xingtuan quickly organized his thoughts and immediately gave orders.
Da Gu and the others next to them only looked away, remembering that there were still business to do, and quickly returned to the Feiyan.
The two Feiyans slowly took off, folded their wings and flew directly into the hole that Tom Mu had just dug, heading all the way towards the 4,000-meter-deep Lake Vostok.
Just because Tang Mu took away a cylindrical ice layer with a diameter of 100 meters.
Because of the pressure, the water in the lake below has a rising trend.
"Gululu!"
A lot of bubbles are rolling.
The two transformed Feiyans plunged directly into the lake.
As the searchlights were turned on, the two Feiyans headed towards the space passage under the lake one after the other.
Not long after, the four members of Zhuxing Tuan saw the throbbing tumor with their own eyes.
Zhu Xingtuan immediately formulated a battle plan and said calmly: "The rhizome connected to the earth under this mass of flesh is very important, we have to cut it off."
As he said that, Zhu Xingluan first tried to use the laser weapon that came with the Feiyan, but found that it was completely unable to cause damage to it.
There was no other way. The stars could only order again and try other methods: "Lift the space channel and pull it into the air."
Just passedGang's attack was also discovered by Zhuxingtuan.
The rhizome of this meat ball is extremely malleable.
In other words, theoretically speaking, the sarcoma can be directly pulled onto the ice sheet.
As for why the sarcoma should be pulled up?
The truth is even simpler.
Tom's cat is still up there.
I don't know what other people think.
But Zhuxinguan has already figured out how to use Tang Mu.
Whenever they found it difficult to solve and couldn't think of a solution for a while, they would pull it directly in front of Tang Mu.
There is a magical Tom Cat to solve all your troubles.
The space channel that pollutes the world is connected to the earth so deeply that the star clusters even doubt that they may be able to tear it apart even after they transform.
The best way now is to ask the omnipotent Tom Cat for help.
"yes!"
"learn!"
Dagu and Beidou from Feiyan No. 1 heard the words and immediately answered.
As the hooks under the belly of the two Feiyan aircraft popped out, the sarcoma was quickly tied up by Wu Da.
This was originally designed to control monsters.
Now it is also good for transporting sarcomas.
After confirming that the sarcoma had been fixed, the two Feiyans took off again, using full power to pull the sarcoma below to climb together!
As the two Feiyans flew higher and higher, the sarcoma under the belly of the aircraft was also pulled up.
The rhizome under the sarcoma was stretched longer and thinner like plasticine.
"Wow!"
The lake water under the ice cave broke open, and the two Feiyans struggled to climb.
Below them, the suspended sarcoma also emerged from the water.
"Tom, please, cut off the lower rhizome."
In the cockpit of Feiyan 2, Zhu Xingluan used the terminal to talk to Tang Mu.
When Tang Mu heard the voices of the star clusters coming from the terminal, there was also a huge roar in front of him!
The air waves were rolling, and the two Feiyans were operating at full power, and they were hoisting up the sarcoma with great difficulty!
At this time, the height of the sarcoma was already several meters above the ice sheet.
The rhizome under the sarcoma has also been stretched to only half a meter.
It's like a rubber band being stretched to the end.
If you are not careful, the two Feiyans will be pulled back to the bottom of the lake by the huge elasticity of the roots and fall to pieces!
Fortunately, Tom was by his side.
The brave cat will not let this happen.
"How does it cut off the stem?"
Dagu was a little worried.
Feiyan 1 and Feiyan 2, with all their firepower, failed to leave a single scratch on their bodies.
I saw a calm expression on Tom Mu's face below. He took out a rope commonly used by cowboys from somewhere and whirled in circles in mid-air!
Aiming at an ice rock opposite the ice cave, Tang Mu directly threw the horse rope a hundred meters away, crossed the hole in the middle, and accurately placed it on the ice rock opposite.
"What does it want to do?"
Everyone looked puzzled.
Tang Mu whistled directly and pulled hard!
"Boom"!
The Antarctic continental plate suddenly squeezes inward!
Bingyan, who was still a hundred meters away, was pulled directly to one meter in front of him by Tang Mu's horse rope.
Because of the extrusion and movement of continental plates.
The ice cave that was originally dug by Tom Mu himself, with a diameter of 100 meters and a depth of 4,000 meters, was covered by Tom Mu himself!
The moving continent was like a pair of scissors, and it also cut off the root beneath the sarcoma.
"Crack!"
The root is missing, and the Feiyan has loosened its hook.
The huge lump of flesh fell heavily onto the ice sheet, and even jumped a few times with great elasticity!
As for others.
When they saw Tom Mu moving the Antarctic continent with a cat, the space channel was no longer so important in their eyes...
