"Eh, Kelan, you don’t say that I haven’t noticed that the temperature seems to have really increased a lot compared with the previous one. I am still the reason why our clothes are dry …" Leighton said, glancing at the instrument to measure the temperature. "When I first came out of the water channel, I remembered it was four degrees Celsius … yeah, it actually turned into two degrees Celsius now? Six degrees higher? Hmm? It once rose to three degrees Celsius again … "
"It really is!" Kelan bitten to grind his teeth and just guessed and said to them.
At that time, everyone’s face was ugly again.
"… it seems that we have really gone this way," the hound sighed. "When the temperature rises to a certain extent, if the worms in the egg sheath hatch … those alphas who designed this relic are really a fucking thing. Well, even starving to death is a luxury."
"It’s best for everyone to be mentally prepared. I estimate that every card received except the starting stone room should be time-limited," said Ke Lan. "We can’t linger like this any longer. We must act immediately!"
……
The team returned to the crack place.
Although the terrible palm has disappeared, it has deepened the darkness of the ice, and it is hard to say that a depressing atmosphere is spreading in the squad.
According to Koran’s requirements, Leighton first dismantled the crack and set up the explosive detonator, and then the Nino alloy circular saw with the handle expanded the crack on the ice surface a little bit-the ice slag was much harder than the one stuck to the egg sheath, and a series of sparks burst out in an instant when the tooth blade contacted the ice surface. At the same time, a shrill noise like nails scratching the blackboard at high speed filled the ice channel.
Kelan stared at the crack in the ice and watched the circular saw embedded in it bit by bit-if it were made of other materials, I’m afraid those tooth blades would have been scrapped long ago.
Leighton put two pieces of crystal full of energy into the engine, and suddenly the circular saw became faster, and the sparks flew out and splashed on the top wall of the ice channel.
Leighton’s mechanical arm has split several legs, and each leg has a sucker at the end to firmly absorb the ground, while his other hand is firmly holding a pull ring at the end of the mechanical arm to press the circular saw away.
Listening to the grinding sound of the tooth blade and the ice, the hound felt annoyed for no reason. He swore and dug out two wadding from the cold and damaged place and stuffed it into his ear.
The vibration of the tooth blade passed along the ice, and everyone on the ice felt this tremor, but at this moment Leighton’s wrist suddenly sank, and this tremor immediately disappeared …
"I saw through … the ice surface is!" Leighton shouted.
He added, "The corner I sawed off fell off. There is a passage at the bottom … it’s a shaft in the ice!"
"So … that thing was attached to the shaft wall before and then fell off?" The hound dug up the cotton wool in his ear. "That’s right … it’s fucking unscientific if this thing can really move freely in the ice with a density greater than steel."
Not only others in the Hound Squad, including Kelan, have somewhat relieved their psychological pressure after hearing this news. Although many things in the remains of Alpha can’t be explained by the scientific principles mastered by human beings, it can still bring a little comfort to people when something that looks strange suddenly conforms to the scientific theory-at least this thing has to obey the most basic physical laws, so it is said that the "means" extended based on these basic physical laws can produce this thing.
If it’s really a monster that can travel freely with a density higher than the visual obstacle in the steel ice, then almost all the guns in their hands can be lost by Ke Lan-everyone can see that the alloy warhead can pose any threat to these frozen ones.
"In this case, the big eye should be the same," Leighton nodded. "The ice should be specially reserved for movement, just like the bottom track of a mobile surveillance camera."
"These ice layers have extremely complicated structures and are not as solid as we imagined …" Clan glanced at the ice hole the size of the bowl was sawed by Leighton and mused.
This time their dialogue did not avoid Qin Zhao and Martin. The former immediately seized the key word inside after hearing Leighton’s words and asked, "Big eyes? What eyes? "
"You’d better not know this thing," the hound pie mouth said. "You little girl look brave, but I’m worried that another rookie will be scared to death alive."
Qin Zhao couldn’t help glancing at Martin, who trembled like a frightened bird. "What, what?"
"Nothing," Kelan shrugged and said to Qin Zhao. "If you want to know what we found, you can consider joining our hunting group. Of course, we can get out of here alive before."
"Do you hunt groups?" Qin Zhao slightly one leng Kelan in her impression that their team should be composed of a group of free-standing senior hunters, and there is no record of A-7 relics exploration to their hunting group. Have they been collected by a hunting group during this period?
"We set up our own hunting group, which is a higher level than Polaris," Hound said proudly. "Of course, we haven’t officially entered the file yet and are carrying out qualification certification."
"Qualification? So you will come to the bottom of the sinkhole? " Qin Zhao asked again
"Right, let’s not talk about it yet. It’s urgent. Can Leighton measure the depth of a shaft with a laser rangefinder?" Ke Lan said
"Well, I’m measuring it," Leighton said. After a crimson laser and the ice face shot at a vertical angle … However, it didn’t take long for Leighton’s expression to become weird.
"What’s the matter?" Kelan asked
"The laser seems to have been swallowed" replied Leighton hesitantly, and even he himself was a little confused about what happened.
"The laser was swallowed?" The hound rubbed his huge aquiline nose vigorously. "You mean there is a black hole at the bottom?" How is this possible? "
"It’s not necessarily a black hole." Kelan shook his head. "Maybe something can interfere with the light device or interfere with our senses instead of light-just like this’ seemingly straight’ circular ice channel."
"What if we don’t even know how deep it is? Shall we just jump in?" The hound said anxiously that he turned his head and glanced at the direction of the ice channel near the middle of the egg sheath
"What’s the temperature in Leighton?" Kelan asked
"Six degrees" Leighton replied.
"Lee … the average temperature in that place is 11 degrees Celsius, and the mine temperature is about 1.15 degrees Celsius higher … Now the temperature is very close to the temperature needed for those insects to hatch, so we can’t wait so much. Let’s expand the crack first."
Said the Koran had pulled out a folding ice pick from the body and inserted the front end of the ice pick into a crack. The pistol grip was knocked up as a hammer.
Leighton, on the other hand, simply pushed the circular saw outward along the previous slit and expanded it as much as possible.
"Well, no matter what, it’s better to die than to be eaten by insects." The hound fumbled for a while in his equipment bag, took out an axe and hammered the ice one by one.
