Facing Ren Hong's curious question, Professor Liang laughed and said, "It's just exaggerated by the outside world, a lizard six or seven meters long? Where do you get the food source? The Lop Nur area is so desolate, but the nuclear explosion did exist, it's just a coincidence. "

The team continued to move forward. Ren Hong looked at the waves in the water and said: "Such a huge body needs to consume at least 2500 calories a day. How do these big guys survive? There shouldn't be such a huge animal in the desert area." , even if it is exposed to nuclear radiation, it will soon become extinct."

"These mutated desert lizards have become omnivores, just like mice. They basically eat anything. Of course, they like meat the most. In most cases, they eat the roots and tubers of vegetation. There are many drought-tolerant animals in this area. at night, they will go out to hunt for food and catch another type of lizard for food." Professor Liang said:

"The genetic variation makes them hunt in a very strange way. It can be said that it is a very unique hunting method among lizards. They will emit a smell to attract other carnivores to mistake them for prey. When the animals that enter the trap basically become theirs. Chinese food."

"You are wrong about one thing, Mr. Ren." Professor Liang added: "Although these creatures are large in size, they can go without food for a week once they are full, and their average life span is only 5 to 8 years. The shortest-lived species of lizards, the reason for this is based on the mutation of nuclear radiation and the division of its cells, so the body size is so large. Before being exposed to nuclear radiation, the body size of this species was only about 60 cm. But now they have a 3-meter-long body. They like to eat scavengers, and they will eat the dead of the same kind. These are the findings of recent research."

Ren Hong looked around the underground lake, looked up at the dome of the lake, and murmured: "I'm more worried that these animals are digging holes all over the place. Is there any danger of this place collapsing, especially when they came here a while ago?" A blast."

"On-site surveys can't be risk-free." Professor Liang said with a smile.

Finally, the team walked underground for more than ten minutes, and arrived at the destination around a few corners. The lights can only be connected here, but there is obviously a deeper area ahead, but Ren Hong was quickly caught by a group of people on the ground. Attracted by the item, there is a dazzling purple halo.

This scene could not be ignored in the dark underground space. Ren Hong immediately came to the place where the Purple Source Crystal was located. Professor Liang and several other scholars also came here. Can hold man-eating lizards with mutations.

Professor Liang, who was half-squatting next to it, said: "It is embedded inside, and the outside is wrapped in a transparent material. It is preliminarily judged that its hardness is more than 180 times that of diamond."

Hearing this, Ren Hong raised his head and stared at Professor Liang. The latter looked at him with a slightly excited expression. Facing Ren Hong's gaze, he did not back down, and added: "We originally wanted to use the plasma cutting line to break through, but the purple source inside The brightness level of the crystal shows that there is a huge amount of energy stored, at least 5000 trillion joules. We know very little about the purple source crystal, and we are afraid of detonating the energy inside. God knows if there are other crystal blocks in other places here, so put your Great God, please come here. This is obviously embedded through artificial means, and it should be some kind of unknown device."

Ren Hong was silent and observed carefully. He suddenly climbed down and looked at the transparent material. He saw a slight bulge, thinking in his heart. After a while, he stared at the spar and the transparent material, and said at the same time: "Give me a mini shovel."

A soldier happened to be carrying this set of tools, and immediately unloaded it and handed it to Ren Hong.

"What are you going to do?" Professor Liang asked.

"I think this looks like a lighthouse pillar!" Ren Hong said, and at the same time carefully dug the soil around. The soil here has a high moisture content, so it is easy to dig.

Sure enough, with Ren Hong's continuous digging, a transparent object like a crystal pillar was soon exposed.

The column has six planes, and the cross-section should be an equihexagon. Ren Hong excavated to a depth of about 45 centimeters, but obviously did not reach the bottom, and the cross-section of the column gradually expanded as he dug deeper.

About ten minutes later, Ren Hong stopped digging, and everyone looked curiously. The amethyst crystal embedded on the top was about the size of four fists, and the purple halo showed that there was a good amount of high-purity energy stored inside. .

"What's the use of this?" Professor Lian asked.

"You have to ask the founder of this civilization." Ren Hong said humorously and smiled. Looking around in the limited light, he was taken aback for a moment, and quickly turned around to look at the curved route behind him. The change in his expression was noticed by Professor Liang, "What's wrong? Mr. Ren."

Ren Hong raised his hand, signaling him not to speak, obviously, he was thinking. Everyone said nothing. Professor Liang didn't care about his actions, and even looked forward to it like everyone else. Obviously, something new had touched him.

At this moment, Ren Hong was recalling the branch structure of the route he had just walked all the way in his mind. He suddenly turned to Professor Liang and the others, and said, "Do you feel that the route we passed is a bit unusual?"

unusual? Professor Liang and the others looked at him suspiciously. What's so unusual about this? Ren Hong pointed to the rock wall and said, "Have you seen the structure of these branches, the angles of bends and turns?"

After a while, a scholar came to a corner. He stretched out his thumb and index finger at a vertical angle of 9o. The index finger was kept relatively horizontal to one side of the corner. He measured it at several corners and got an astonishing result: "They are all in the range of 30 degrees and 45 degrees, with regularity!"

"Obviously, this is not formed naturally." Ren Hong looked at a group of scholars and said, "Imagine in your mind, what would it look like if you looked down vertically?"

Professor Liang and the others said nothing, obviously thinking and using their imagination based on Ren Hong's description. After a while, they came to an astonishing conclusion. Professor Liang looked at Ren Hong in surprise, "You mean, Is there a cave inside the rock wall?"

Ren Hong nodded slightly, staring at the exposed corner of the hexagonal cylinder embedded with Ziyuan spar, "No accident, this should be just the tip of the iceberg." Looking around, he added: "There should be a very A large man-made facility, it may be a laboratory, a base or even an aircraft, no matter what it is, there must be a man-made building buried in it."
