Paranormal incident investigation notes

Chapter 127 The dividing line

This issue is also a concern of experts.

Although experts do not know all the details of the entire matter, judging from the most basic logic, they can clearly understand that this new type of bacteria may pose a huge threat to the entire human world.

Under this situation, when the specially customized research equipment was delivered a day later, the experts immediately plunged into intense research.

Because of the characteristic that phobia bacteria will die quickly once they leave the collective, the usual method of collecting specimens first and then sending them to the operating table for research will not work. This requires observing them directly from their native environment.

To this end, Lu Ming obtained Zhang Dingshan's consent and asked Lu Qingliang to directly contact a precision equipment manufacturing factory in the name of the Public Security Bureau and asked them to work overtime. It only took a few hours to complete the inspection of the existing equipment. Renovated and sent to Binhai Building.

The whole process took only one day.

It is a cart-shaped observation platform equipped with a retractable microscope lens, which can directly observe the natural environment and display the observation images on the screen.

"Based on the available data, there should be a relatively clear dividing line between the Binhai Building and the outside world for fungi. There are a large number of fungi on one side of the dividing line, and none outside the dividing line."

A single or a small number of fear bacteria will die because they are separated from that collective electric field. The physiological structure of the fungi determines that they must form groups to survive. In this way, the existence of such a clear dividing line is quite reasonable.

Finding this dividing line is crucial for subsequent research.

This took the experts about an hour. After that, a scene appeared in front of Lu Ming.

In this microscopic picture, Lu Ming saw a large number of rod-shaped fungi slowly squirming. After a while, the camera moved to the left, and Lu Ming could clearly see that the number of fungi was rapidly decreasing, and eventually disappeared completely.

During this whole process, the movement of the screen continued for a period of time, and it seemed that the reduction in the number of fungi was also a slow and continuous process.

However, this is a microscopic picture, not a normal picture.

The microscopic picture has moved a lot, but in the real world, the distance is probably no more than one centimeter at most.

From a macro level, this dividing line can be described as clear-cut.

Lu Ming focused his eyes again on the place where the fungus had completely disappeared, and observed carefully. So he clearly discovered that the vigor of the fungi here seemed to be much lower than the fungi he had seen inside the Marina Building in the past.

They seemed to have no strength to squirm at all. They just "lay" there quietly. After a long interval, a small number of the fungi will move like a conditioned reflex. Many more of the fungi were not moved at all.

In addition, many fear bacteria have even begun the "dissolution" process. Some even had half of their bodies melted away.

Compared with the clear dividing line before, this decrease in vitality seems to show a trend of slow change. In other words, they did not suddenly change from the vitality of the inner environment of Marina Building to the current half-dead state, but they gradually decreased and lost their vitality.

Lu Ming's conjecture was verified in subsequent observations. As the observation lens moved inward, I didn't notice it at first, but it wasn't until I moved inside the Marina Building that I became aware of the gap between the two.

This obviously cannot be explained by the previous explanation that the fungi will die after leaving the "collective electric field".

Because they always exist in a collective form and never leave the collective.

But they are also gradually losing vitality and dying.

This is the most direct evidence that the Dragon-Suppressing Stake Formation is working, restricting the God of the Tower and restricting the fungi.

About half a day later, the first analysis report was submitted to Lu Ming.

In this report, a very clear analysis of the cause of death of the fungus was made. But unfortunately, this is of no use.

The report shows that the cause of death of these fungi is actually very simple. It is nothing more than changes in internal tissue fluid caused by attacks by other bacteria and environmental factors.

But the key question is...

Why didn't they die for the same reasons inside the Marina Building with the same environment, but why did they die for these reasons outside the Marina Building?

The environment is obviously the same, why is one dead and the other not?

What other unsuspected factors are affecting these bacteria?

Many experts discussed and analyzed this, put forward various conjectures, and then immediately began to verify it.

When the research direction was determined and officially entered the specific research stage, Lu Ming was once again unable to get involved. All he can do at this moment is to coordinate and provide logistical support to ensure that these experts are not burdened by other things and can devote all their energy to their work.

Under this situation, Lu Ming clearly felt that a subtle change was taking place among these professors.

When the research direction was just confirmed and the existence of the dividing line was discovered, the attitude of the professors was positive and optimistic. Their steps were quick and their spirits were high. There seemed to be endless topics to discuss with each other. Conjectures and conjectures, and the actionable verifications that accompany these conjectures and conjectures, are all topics among these professors.

But as time went by, on the third and fourth days, this discussion became much less frequent. Their attitude is no longer positive and optimistic, but solemn and serious.

Perhaps... the reason for the decrease in discussions is that the conjectures and speculations that are easier to think of have been put forward?

For their verification, apparently no results were received. As a result, conjectures and speculations were denied one after another, and subsequent updated conjectures and speculations became increasingly difficult to think of.

On the sixth day, Lu Ming even saw that all the professors gave up their work. As if they had made an appointment, they all left the observation equipment and operating platform. Some of them were sitting in the conference room thinking hard, some were wandering around aimlessly as if taking a walk, and some were expressionless and silent.

Lu Ming clearly felt that the research on fungi had once again encountered obstacles.

They obviously didn't deserve to die, but they all died. The real cause of their death, the reason why they were unable to leave the Marina Building and spread to the outside world, should be easy to find out, but it has never been clear.

Night gradually fell. To ensure safety, everyone inside the Marina Building and those within a certain distance of the building have been evacuated, and work has been temporarily suspended.

During the day, the bustle of researchers coming and going from place to place receded like a tide, and peace and silence returned here again.

Lu Ming sat in front of the monitor, looking at the deserted corridors in Binhai Building, listening to the clicking sounds that came from nowhere every once in a while, and once again fell into deep thought.

At the same time, in the suburbs of Yangyuan City, at a scaled-down version of the Zhenlongzhuang site, in a temporary prefabricated room that served as a command room, He Wei also looked solemn.

Just before, the environmental monitoring personnel had just finished their overall report to her. The result was also not beyond her expectations. It was just that the internal and external environments were consistent and there was no discovery.

She had a vague feeling that perhaps, the two research directions she had previously determined were about to fail.

The building god can't be found. The operating principle of the dragon-suppressing pile is also uncertain.

Unlike He Wei and Lu Ming, Zhang Dingshan had some changes here. It's just that these changes are bad changes.

"Team Zhang. Data analysis found that the damage rate of Binhai Building has increased again, and the probability of overall damage affecting the overall structure has climbed to 0.0754%."

This number is no longer far away from the scheduled action triggering node.

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dingshan temporarily summoned the remaining three team members.

"Lu Ming, how high do you think the probability is that the professors will make significant progress in the next few days?"

What Zhang Dingshan said was "what you think is the probability", not "the probability".

This means that Lu Ming has to make his own subjective judgment on this issue, rather than objective judgment.

Lu Ming knew in his heart that what he could make at this moment was probably just a subjective judgment. Without sufficient data support, objective judgment cannot be made at all.

"How many days?"

Zhang Dingshan paused and gave the answer: "Three days."

Lu Ming also paused before answering: "It's very low. No more than ten percent."

Zhang Dingshan nodded and turned to He Wei: "What do you think is the probability that the environmental monitoring team will make significant progress at the scaled-down Dragon Zhenzhuan in the next three days?"

He Wei also pondered for a moment before answering: "Ten percent at most. Maybe even lower."

Zhang Dingshan said: "Based on the current damage rate of the Binhai Building, it is estimated that in three days, the overall probability of major damage will reach 0.1%, reaching the action triggering point. I think that since in the next three days, The probability of major progress in both aspects is very low, so there is no need for us to waste these three days.

Who agrees? Who objects? "

Lu Ming knew that once the proposal was approved by internal voting, the next step would be to report to Director Li Wenhua. The probability that Li Wenhua agrees with his plan is extremely high.

By that time, Binhai Building will be completely wiped out, and our side will use all means to clearly stand on the opposite side of the building god to prevent it from breaking away from the shackles of the dragon-suppressing stake.

However, one's own vote, which accounts for 25% of the weight, is also related to the future direction of this case to a certain extent. On a larger scale, it may even be related to the future of the human world.
