Chapter 136 Thousand Years of Experiments and Discoveries

(Chapter 135)

Under Chu Fei's guidance, everyone moved forward more than 50 meters.

The distance between everyone and the butterfly was shortened to 20 meters - the butterfly was flying and moving faster.

The butterfly was more than ten meters in size, and at a distance of 20 meters, it looked extremely shocking.

At this time, Chu Fei was not needed, everyone had already seen the huge butterfly through the infrared device.

Li Longhua whispered an order, "Throw out a drone to test the butterfly's perception of sound."

While speaking, Chu Fei found that the butterfly's huge feather-like antennae trembled slightly.

The butterfly's antennae are actually very beautiful, but now I'm afraid no one appreciates this beauty.

A small drone flew out, and when it was unfolded, it was only the size of an egg.

The drone was very quiet. It flew ten meters in front of the butterfly and began to emit a sound, which was the cry of a chicken.

The sound was very small and gradually increased.

The butterfly's antennae trembled, and the direction of flight began to change.

Li Longhua commented simply, "It has good sound perception ability, and its IQ doesn't seem to be high. It seems that in this dark environment, sound is an important means of perception.

The drone keeps this sound and retreats."

The drone began to retreat, and the butterfly began to chase. But after chasing for a while, the butterfly suddenly stopped, and its antennae trembled, and its flying direction was actually heading straight for everyone, quickly approaching the ten-meter range of everyone, and continued to move forward.

Li Longhua suddenly realized, "No, attack!"

The mechanical pistol fired and hit the huge butterfly in front directly.

But at close range, everyone saw that the butterfly didn't even pause much, and the wounds on its body recovered quickly, and it was as good as new in the blink of an eye.

Chu Fei couldn't help but take a breath when he saw this. The content described in the research materials outside has come true!

The structure in the body can be controlled to liquefy, and the damage can be converted at will. Because this conversion speed is very fast, it can even instantly recover the wound without affecting the battle.

Li Longhua said calmly: "Attack the head, or the brain structure!"

The butterfly was flying, and the trajectory was erratic. Everyone attacked several times before finally hitting the brain structure. The butterfly finally fluttered to the ground and never got up again.

The butterfly was less than five meters away from everyone.

Chu Fei looked at the butterfly and used ultrasound to observe the situation inside the butterfly.

The butterfly has a complete organ structure inside, and even the bullets that attacked it before are still inside the body. But the bullets have been wrapped by layers of flocculent structures and only stay on the surface of the body, not deep inside.

The butterfly is huge, and the penetration force of the bullet is only thirty to fifty centimeters.

Chu Fei quickly calculated in his mind: the most damaging case of a bullet is that it does not penetrate, but stays in the body, which will form a strong cavity.

But no such cavity was found in the butterfly, which shows that the butterfly's recovery ability is beyond imagination!

This also shows that the research thousands of years ago was successful, and the success was beyond imagination.

But it also makes this place more dangerous. For example, this butterfly can be resurrected infinitely without hitting the vital points.

This is still a large one, what if it is a small one? What about the kind that can't be aimed at?

Many times, the small one is more dangerous.

While Chu Fei was thinking, Li Longhua had walked in front of the huge "butterfly", turned on the light and started to check.

Everyone also surrounded it.

Only by looking at it up close can you understand the horror of this butterfly.

The scales on the surface of the body have evolved into scales, and the edges of these scales are as sharp as knives and extremely tough. Chu Fei poked it with a dagger, and he had to use a little force - this so-called "slightly force" is based on Chu Fei's current physical fitness.

After a simple calculation, Chu Fei estimated the strength: equivalent to the strength of ordinary 1.2 mm No. 45 carbon steel.

1.2 mm carbon steel, don't underestimate it. If there was such a set of armor on the ancient battlefield, it would be invulnerable.

After quenching, No. 45 steel has the strength of a household kitchen knife.

At present, it is just a primary mutant bug - such a thing obviously cannot cause the annihilation of the Flying Tigers team.

It is conceivable how powerful those advanced mutant bugs will be.

Chu Fei slowly circled around and saw the butterfly clearly, especially the mouthparts.

The mouthparts of this butterfly are as thick as thighs and full of barbs. The actual length of the curled mouthparts is more than 2.7 meters!

Chu Fei always felt that the structure of this mouthpart was somewhat similar to the whip on his waist.

Li Longhua turned around and asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone started talking, mostly about danger, self-recovery, strong mutation, etc.

Li Longhua asked around and asked Chu Fei. Chu Fei said: "The creatures here should have a certain phototropism. This research base is aimed at the liquid metamorphosis process of pupae, and the rest has not been studied.

So, I think some basic weaknesses of insects can still be used. Such as phototropism.

But at the same time, we must be vigilant. After all, it is a mutation, and no one knows what changes will happen. Not to mention that there is not only life on Earth here, but even life from other dimensions obtained through methods such as dimensional space."

Li Longhua looked at Chu Fei with admiration, "Well said."

Everyone continued to discuss, and with Chu Fei's ideas, the content of the discussion became more and more. At the same time, some people began to test the "toxicity" of butterflies.

Before the test results came out, Chu Fei twitched his ears and suddenly said, "Turn out the lights! Something is coming again, it sounds like a lot."

Li Longhua immediately ordered, "Turn out the lights. Chu Fei, continue to lead the way."

Chu Fei shook his head, "It's okay to lead the way, but I can only find out the general situation around you, and how to arrange tactics, I need General Li."

Li Longhua frowned slightly, "What is the scope of your investigation? What are the details of the investigation?"

Chu Fei felt his investigative ability:

Full-range detection without blind spots, 100-meter range, maximum refresh frequency 30 Hz;

Local sector detection, up to 340 meters, 30 Hz;

If it is fuzzy detection of infrasound waves, it can reach 10 kilometers away and 30 Hz;

If it is the delicate perception of ultrasonic waves, it has an effective distance of only 10 meters and 30 Hz;

Lock a target within five points, maximum distance 340 meters, 120 Hz;

If you just lock on a point, lock on a target, the frequency can reach 500 Hz.

After completing the self-examination, Chu Fei spoke: "My current ability to sense the wind is limited. If it is full-range sensing, the maximum is 30 meters; partial sensing can reach more than 40 meters but not more than 50 meters, and the refresh frequency is up to 30 Hz.

If it's ultrasonic sensing, it's only about five meters.

But you can also use passive mode to vaguely perceive the surroundings. In theory, all sounds around you can be retrieved. There is no distance limit for this. But beyond 340 meters it becomes very blurry.

The other thing is speed. The wind of perception relies on the speed of sound. If it is active detection and I make the sound and receive the echo, then the perceived speed is half the speed of sound.

If you use external sound perception, then the speed is the complete speed of sound.

Active detection is slow but effective;

Passive detection is slightly less effective, but faster. "

Chu Fei's words are both true and false.

Li Longhua nodded slightly, "Then feel the surrounding situation and make a rough judgment first."

Chu Fei sensed it for a while and said: "In the 3 o'clock range ahead, the least movement is perceived.

But the feedback information is a bit strange. The acoustic characteristics of the feedback are somewhat similar to the situation at Research Center 114. And the surrounding mutated insects and beasts seemed to avoid this location.

Then there is the front. It seems that there are many mutant insect beasts charging here, but they are only a little ahead, and the back is empty. However, judging from the sonic characteristics, the sprint here is very intense, and it may be larger.

Again, at the 10 o'clock direction, the density here is lower, mainly because there are building pillars and other obstructions. These pillars may be of some help to us.

As for the rest of the positions, they're pretty much the same. "

After a pause, Chu Fei added, "But there is one thing to note. The current investigation of the surroundings is based on the analysis of sounds coming from far away. They are all calculated indirectly, not directly perceived.

Therefore, this information can only be used as a reference and cannot be used directly. "

Li Longhua nodded. But he asked, "If it were you, which direction would you choose to break out?"

Chu Fei pointed straight ahead, "Here!"

Li Longhua was a little surprised: "Oh? Reason?"

Chu Fei: "For us, darkness is our biggest enemy. When fighting in the dark, small animals are more dangerous. On the contrary, large animals are easier to hunt.

According to the analysis of acoustic wave characteristics, the mutated animal directly in front is larger and may have stronger individual combat effectiveness. But if our team sprints, we will only have to face a small number of mutated animals; it would be safer to divide them evenly.

There are also biological characteristics here that must hit the vital point to be fatal. The vital points of large animals are also easier to grasp.

The larger the animal, the more bulky it is and the slower it reacts.

Finally, ahead is the passage. "

Li Longhua had no choice but to nod appreciatively after hearing this.

Yes, that makes sense.

Everyone nodded and agreed with Chu Fei's analysis.

Anyone who often fights knows that they would rather face a mutant tiger than a group of mutant goats.

A mutated tiger can be beaten to death as long as the method is right.

But if it is a group of goats, they will be the ones who are killed by the goats.

It's a similar situation right now.

With the decision made, everyone no longer hesitated and moved forward quickly.

Although they were moving forward at a brisk pace, most of the people present were veterans and they all walked on their feet. Chu Fei also followed suit and lowered his voice as much as possible.

As he moved forward, Chu Fei finally locked onto the target through the wind of perception, and through a series of dot arrays, he scanned the approximate shape of the target - it seemed like a group of spiders, a group of mutated big spiders!

Chu Fei looked unhappy and immediately said: "General Li, they are a group of mutant spiders. According to the feedback, they look like the human-faced spiders we saw at Base 114 before, and they are even bigger.

Generally speaking, larger animals are more sluggish, but spiders are an exception. "

Almost all spiders have a pair of special skills - ejection and spinning.

The ejection starts at a fast speed, and the silk spinning is a range attack.

Li Longhua gritted his teeth and made an immediate decision, "Go left!"

To the left is the 10 o'clock direction that Chu Fei investigated previously.

After moving forward for a while, Chu Fei scanned the shape of the mutated animal - it seemed to be a super strong locust, but a little fat.

Anyway, they are similar bugs.

When we got closer, the infrared equipment started to work, and we discovered that it was a group of mole crickets. However, these mole crickets were a bit big, and each of them was fierce.

Mole crickets are flying fiercely, fast, powerful, and rushing around. I wonder if the mutated mole crickets have similar situations?

These mutated mole crickets are not rushing around like ordinary mole crickets, but crawling carefully.

Perhaps the living environment of thousands of years has changed their habits.

But when Chu Fei and his team appeared near these mole crickets, they saw the antennae of the mole crickets trembling rapidly, and then the mole cricket in front suddenly opened its wings, a pair of huge fangs opened, and flew towards everyone.

The mole cricket is huge, and its wings are waving, buzzing, like a fighter. This is completely different from the flying state of butterflies.

But there is one thing, not only the sound of the mole cricket flying is similar to that of a fighter, but its flying posture is also the same - flying straight.

The first few team members immediately raised their guns and shot the mole crickets in the head.

With a puff, the flying mole cricket fell headfirst. The heavy body hit the ground with a muffled sound.

Chu Fei made an inference based on the sound, "It weighs at least 70 kilograms. A bug actually weighs 70 kilograms.

Considering that the bugs themselves are very powerful, if they are enlarged in proportion, the power of a 70-kilogram bug may be able to overturn a heavy excavator."

"It's not that exaggerated." Li Longhua shook his head slightly, "The larger the body, the weaker the leverage. Of course, the power of the bugs is really great, so be careful."

More mutant mole crickets flew up, and for a moment there was a feeling of covering the sky and the sun, as if the sky was covered by small fighter jets.

Chu Fei was quick-witted, "Is there a drone that can emit light and sound? Throw one out and try it."

Someone immediately threw out a drone. The drone was thrown more than 20 meters away, and the rotors were spread in the air. There were colorful lights flashing and a pleasant ring tone.

The next moment, the mole crickets that covered the sky and the sun chased the drone.

"Phototropism!" Chu Fei thought for a moment, then said, "Go fast."

There were still many mole crickets in front, but they turned a blind eye to Chu Fei and the others.

Everyone passed through the encirclement without any danger.

But there was a low sound of fighting from the back. The luminous drone in the sky had disappeared.

"The bugs are fighting!" Li Longhua thought for a moment, but immediately said, "Let's go fast for a while, be careful to keep quiet, and don't turn on the lights. Chu Fei, continue to scan the surrounding environment, especially to find out if there are any stairs.

This should be the building of the research base, there should be a lot of information and even technology here.

According to previous experience, it should be on the second floor or even the third floor.

Also try to find out if there is a backup power system that can be switched."

Now that we can't use lights, the infrared equipment is limited in effectiveness, and the reconnaissance of the road, etc., almost all depends on Chu Fei.

Watching Chu Fei carefully scanning and pointing out the general situation around, Li Longhua felt a little bit of emotion in his heart: it was right to force Chu Fei to go.

But at the same time, he also had more feelings for Chu Fei: This is really a genius!

Through a simple conversation, Li Longhua has a relatively clear understanding of the wind of perception. But it is precisely because of the clear understanding that he knows the difficulty of the wind of perception.

Through the sound waves, the dot matrix is ​​calculated, and then the general outline of the object is arranged by refreshing the dot matrix.

The computing power used in this is beyond imagination.

However, in addition to the computing power, there is a lot of basic knowledge to assist, such as the sound wave characteristics of different substances. These data are massive and need to be memorized to form their own database.

So when Chu Fei said that the wind of perception consumes a lot of energy, Li Longhua did not doubt it at all.

After walking for a while, Chu Fei suddenly stopped, "I found a staircase in front, but the staircase seems to go down."

"Go down?" Li Longhua was stunned, "There is no passage going up?"

Chu Fei shook his head slightly, "I haven't found it yet, at least I haven't found it within the range of my investigation."

Li Longhua thought, "The stairs of general buildings must be every thirty or fifty meters. We have walked a long distance, and you have also scanned a large area, but you only found such a passage to enter the underground."

What can Chu Fei say. Entering such an environment, the so-called exploration is like a blind man touching an elephant... Well, okay, it's not as good as a blind man touching an elephant.

No matter how big an elephant is, it has a limit. This place is really big.

How big is this dimension?

How big are the buildings here?

Where is the research base?

Where is dangerous and where is safe?

Sorry, I don't know anything.

The team that was wiped out in front of us only left everyone with a messy picture, most of which were strategic transfer battles... Well, it was running away.

But there is still one thing to discover: the emergency passage sign!

The team that was wiped out in front also left with this.

Chu Fei looked at the emergency passage sign and suddenly said, "I have an idea that important research locations should be connected to the emergency passage. Once something goes wrong, we can evacuate quickly.

Maybe we can find something by searching against the emergency passage."

"Not bad!" Li Longhua praised, "I didn't even think of this!"

Everyone explored against the emergency passage arrow.

Suddenly Chu Fei's eyes lit up-he found a device, and the equipment nameplate was barely identifiable: incubator DC transformer.

In just a moment, Chu Fei's mind emerged with the inspection route!

Chu Fei remained calm and continued to move forward; anyway, it would be difficult for others to detect Chu Fei's expression in the dark.

As the emergency passage continued to move forward for about two minutes, Chu Fei finally found the next building on the inspection list: the transformer duty room, which is also the control center of the transformer equipment.

Two points determine a line, and this principle can also be used on the inspection route.

With this, the direction of the inspection route can be determined, and then combined with the emergency passage, the general situation can be quickly outlined, and then the final goal is determined:

Main control room!

The main control room is the main control center of the research base. In theory, all information is summarized here.

However, due to the limited information on the inspection list, the specific location of the main control room cannot be determined for the time being. Whether it is upstairs or underground, this requires following the inspection list to explore in reverse.

Should I tell Li Longhua and others?

Chu Fei immediately consumed a drop of wisdom dew to make a deduction, and instantly thought of dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of possibilities.

As the saying goes, a fool will have a thousand thoughts once. After crazy thinking, Chu Fei finally made an absolutely rational choice.
