Extraterrestrial parasite

Generally speaking, with complete equipment and mature experience, there should be no problems in such scientific research experiments, but if a problem does occur...

Of course, the chance of this is pitifully small, but the strange creatures discovered by the United States and the United States in Antarctica are an indisputable fact.

After visiting the strange creatures on the twelfth floor, they continued going down.

The thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth floors were all used for experiments on unknown creatures. Cheng Pan looked at them for a while before continuing down.

When they arrived on the tenth floor, they were finally able to change out of their white protective uniforms, put on a light uniform again, and took off their masks. After another disinfection inspection, the two entered the lobby.

"here it is……"

Cheng Pan was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

"Director Cheng, starting from the tenth floor to the thirtieth floor, there are unknown inanimate objects numbered from 380 to 690."

Kong Long explained.

"Um."

Nodding, Cheng Pan, led by Kong Long, walked forward and visited.

From here on, unlike the upper floors, which are separated by tempered glass, this place is divided into thirty metal gates based on a circle. It is absolutely impossible to open without special permission and unlocking.

Therefore, they can only observe the status and appearance of the objects inside through the monitoring screen in front of the gate.

"Hey, that's..."

After looking at a few gates, Cheng Pan suddenly smiled and felt an inexplicable feeling.

This is the object inside the gate numbered 385. It turned out to be an object collected by a previous special research institute.

Speaking of this item, Cheng Pan's expression became serious. It was in a mountain village in Shanxi. Because several villagers disappeared in the mountains in succession, the police were called.

As a result, out of the ten policemen who went up the mountain to search, two more policemen were missing and had not returned, which attracted the attention of the people above.

A large number of police and mountain search teams were directly mobilized to conduct a large-scale search operation on the mountain, and then... five more people disappeared.

This matter is really big. If the higher-ups hadn't suppressed the news out of concern for the impact, it would have made big news and caused a stir.

The matter was finally taken over by Cheng Pan and the others, and after spending a full week, the missing person was finally found in a cave.

Surprisingly, there is only one passage in the cave. But those who entered the cave could not get out no matter what. Therefore, when Cheng Pan and others entered, after more than a week of fermentation, what they saw was a scene that no one wanted to recall.

In desperate circumstances, the ugliest side of humanity is exposed. Even with Cheng Pan's "heart of stone", he still sighed.

Naturally, after Cheng Pan entered the cave, what happened during the period was not indescribable to outsiders. In short. After finding a sheep skull, he successfully brought out all the survivors.

According to the carbon 14 identification later. This sheep skull has existed for more than a thousand years, and the rest are no different from any other sheep bones, and there is no difference at all.

But such a simple thing can affect people's vision, hearing, and touch, causing people who enter the cave to be unable to come out no matter how hard they walk.

Later, the Special Research Institute studied for a long time and came up with an unreliable explanation. After excluding the smell, magnetic field, and radiation, this sheep skull should have something that modern science cannot detect. It can affect people unconsciously. The senses of a nearby human or animal.

Human beings' sense of stimulation from external things, including vision, touch, and smell, are ultimately concentrated in the brain for processing and feedback. However, this sheep skull can affect the human thalamus, which is responsible for sensory relay, causing confusion in the human body's senses. This makes the missing person unable to get out and keeps walking in circles in the cave.

After turning around again, Cheng Pan suddenly asked in surprise: "What is that?"

"Well, it's 'Miracle' No. 396."

"'miracle'?"

Cheng Pan noticed these two unusual words.

If this thing were placed in ancient times, it would really be called a miracle.

Inside the gate, a black sphere with a diameter of about one meter, like an enlarged version of a bowling ball, floats motionless in the air without any support.

This weird and magical scene even found it strange to the well-informed Cheng Pan.

"I'm not very clear about the source of this thing. With your authority, Director Cheng, you should be able to read the relevant archives in the future. However, the information on this thing that is now public is not made of any known elements. It should be from after the 122nd." Superheavy elements that stabilize the island.”

"Is it."

After taking a few glances at the "miracle" No. 396 inside, Cheng Pan continued to browse the rest of the place.

Starting from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., it took Cheng Pan four hours to visit the technology and biological development floors and arrived at the 31st floor.

What surprised him a little was that General Liu Yanqing was waiting for him here.

"Xiao Cheng, you're here."

"Chief!"

After saluting, Cheng Pan stood next to Liu Yanqing and followed him to look at the items inside the tempered glass.

"This is……"

"This is what you brought back last time."

Liu Yanqing smiled slightly: "This thing you brought is really amazing. We used all the means and couldn't damage it at all."

"All means?"

Staring at the silver-white cylinder and hearing what Liu Yanqing said, Cheng Pan asked.

"Yes, by all means."

Liu Yanqing nodded: "Whether it is a low temperature of more than 200 degrees Celsius below zero or a high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, it does not produce a trace of detectable deformation, and laser cauterization and diamond polishing still cannot produce any effect."

Such a conclusion really surprised Cheng Pan: "So, what exactly is it? Where does it come from?"

"Haha, Xiao Cheng, you brought this thing back. You don't even know about it. Why are you asking me about it?"

Liu Yanqing put his hands behind his back and after speaking with a smile, his eyes gradually became serious.

"This thing... one thing is certain for now, that is..."

"It is definitely not something that humans can create with today's technology."

"Not even the United States?"

"Of course not."

Liu Yanqing said: "Although the United States also has bases like ours, and they even started doing these as early as World War II, this does not mean that their technology can surpass ours by hundreds of years."

"In terms of materials and precision technology, we are at most more than twenty years behind them, but to be able to manufacture this thing at the current speed of technological development..."

Liu Yanqing stretched out his fingers: "It will take at least five hundred years!"

Cheng Pan suddenly realized that if Americans were to lead the world for five hundred years, the black president would not have to worry about disputes in East Asia, Ukraine, Iran, North Korea, and the South China Sea. He could just attack other countries. How could he give in and negotiate?

"So, since this thing cannot be made by human technology, that means... it comes from... outer space?"

Cheng Pan hesitated for a moment before speaking the last two words.

"Tianwai?."

Liu Yanqing was noncommittal, as if there were some words he had not said.

Just from Liu Yanqing's words, deeds, and expressions, Cheng Pan could tell that the chief definitely knew some of the inside story, but he didn't tell it for some reason.

"Okay, you have also visited and understood some of the conditions of this base. Let me explain to you your future duties and responsibilities."

"In addition to me, General Wang Bingzhong is responsible for the security of the entire base. He and I, in addition to serving as the general commander of the entire base, are also responsible for the specific persons in charge of the forty to forty floors. As for the first floor On the 30th floor, there were originally two people in charge, and with your arrival, there are now three people."

"The floors you are specifically responsible for are from the first to the tenth floor. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, Cheng Pan will obey the arrangements of his superiors."

Cheng Pan replied.

"Well, you can continue visiting. I have something else to do, so I won't talk to you anymore."

"Yes, Chief."

After bidding farewell to Cheng Pan, Liu Yanqing took the elevator alone. After identifying himself, he arrived at the 40th floor underground.

According to daily routine, what Liu Yanqing had to do was still come to the quarantine area in person to inspect the most important items in the base.

Through the surveillance camera and across five steel gates weighing more than ten tons, Liu Yanqing looked at the electronic display screen.

The items displayed on the electronic display screen are not that surprising from the outside.

The sides are five centimeters long and the shape is a rectangular cube. The appearance is silvery white and shiny, without any gaps or uneven spots. To be honest, if you throw such a piece of metal randomly on the street, it is estimated that no one except the people who collect scraps will be interested in this thing.

Even though the appearance is not surprising, just like an ordinary polished titanium metal, Liu Yanqing, who has truly seen the secrets of this thing, will never be slack or contemptuous.

On the contrary, whether the thing is carefully stored in a place that can withstand nuclear attack or placed on the fortieth floor can itself explain the value of this thing.

Judging from Liu Yanqing's expression, this thing is not only valuable. If it is used well, not only the future interests of the country, but also the entire human society will benefit a lot from it.

If once out of control...

It is estimated that all mankind will taste the huge consequences together.

But there is no such thing as pie in the sky, and there is no huge profit without risks. Businessmen are willing to risk the guillotine for a few hundred percent of profits, while soldiers and the country are willing to risk 10,000 percent for the future. , 100,000,000,000% interests, and are more willing to take risks that are greater than going to the guillotine.

Since ancient times, nothing is wrong.
