Facing Ren Hong's curious question, Professor Liang said with a smile: "it's just exaggerated by the outside world. A lizard six or seven meters long? Where does the food source come from? The Lop Nur area is so desolate, but it is just a coincidence that a nuclear explosion does exist. "
As the team continued to move forward, Ren Hong looked at the waves in the water and said, "such a huge body needs to eat at least 2500 calories a day. How can these big guys survive? Desert areas should not have such a large number of animals, even if exposed to nuclear radiation will soon become extinct
"These mutant desert lizards have become omnivores, just like rats, and basically eat everything. Of course, they love meat most. Most of them eat the roots of vegetation. There are many drought tolerant vegetation in this area. And at night they go out to feed, to catch another species of lizard Professor Liang said:
"genetic variation makes them prey in a strange way. It can be said that it is a very unique hunting method among lizards. They emit a smell to attract other carnivores to mistake them as prey. When they enter the trap, the animals will basically become their meal."
"One thing you're wrong about, Mr. Ren." Professor Liang added: "although this kind of creature is very big, it can not eat for a week once it is full, and its life expectancy is only five to eight years, which should be regarded as one of the shortest-lived lizards. The reason for this is that the mutation of nuclear radiation accelerates the cell division, so it is so large that it is not exposed to nuclear radiation The size of each species is only about 60 cm, but now it is 3 meters long. They like to eat rotten food, and the dead will be eaten by them. These are the findings of recent studies
Looking around the underground lake and looking up at the dome of the lake, Ren Hong murmured, "I'm more worried that these animals are digging holes all over the place. This place is in danger of collapse, especially when there was an explosion some time ago."
"Field surveys don't have a little risk." Professor Liang said with a smile.
Finally, the team walked underground for more than ten minutes, bypassed several corners and arrived at the destination. The lights could only be connected here. But there was obviously a deeper area ahead. However, Ren Hong was soon attracted by an object on the ground, which was emitting a dazzling purple halo.
This scene can't be ignored in the dark underground space. Ren honglike comes to the place where ziyuanjing is located, and Professor Liang and other scholars also come here. Around the crystal, the escort team immediately opens up the formation, and there can be a variety of cannibal lizards.
"It's embedded in the interior, surrounded by transparent material. It's initially judged that its hardness is more than 180 times that of diamond."
Ren Hongwen Yan looked up at Professor Liang. The latter looked at each other with a slightly excited look. Facing Ren Hong's line of sight, he did not give in. He added: "we wanted to use plasma cutting line to break it, but the brightness level of purple crystal inside shows that it stores huge energy, at least 5000 trillion joules. We don't know much about the purple source crystal. We are afraid to detonate the internal energy. God knows if there are any other crystal stones in other places, so please come here. This is obviously embedded by human means. It should be some kind of unknown device. "
Ren Hong was silent and observed carefully. Suddenly, he climbed down and looked at the transparent material. He saw a slight bulge in his mind. After a while, he looked at the crystal and transparent material and said, "give me a mini spade."
A soldier just took this set of tools with him, and immediately removed it and handed it to Ren Hong.
"What are you going to do?" Asked Professor Liang.
"I think it's like a lighthouse post!" Ren Hong said, at the same time carefully in the surrounding soil, where the soil moisture content is very large, digging is very easy.
Sure enough, with Ren Hong's continuous excavation, he soon exposed a transparent object like a crystal column. The column has six plane bodies, and the cross section should be an equal hexagon. Ren Hong dug a depth of about 45 cm, but it was obviously not the end. With the deepening of the excavation, the cross-section of the column was slowly expanding.
About ten minutes later, Ren Hong stopped digging. Everyone was curious to see that the purple crystal embedded in the top was about the size of four fists, emitting a purple halo, indicating that there was a high-purity energy stored inside.
"What's the use of that?" Professor Lian asked.
"Ask the founder of civilization." Ren Hong said humorously and laughed. He looked around in the limited light. Suddenly, he was stunned and quickly turned around to look at the curved line behind him. The change of his face was noticed by Professor Liang, "what's the matter? Mr. Ren. "
Ren Hong raised his hand and motioned him not to speak. Obviously, he was thinking. Everyone said nothing. Professor Liang didn't care about his behavior, and even looked forward to it like others. Obviously, something new touched him.
At this moment, Ren Hong's mind was thinking about the line division structure that had just come all the way. He suddenly turned to Professor Liang and others and said, "have you noticed that our route is somewhat unusual?"extraordinary? Professor Liang and others looked at him suspiciously. What's unusual about this? Ren Hong pointed to the cliff and said, "do you see the angle of these branch structures, bends and turns?"
After a while, a scholar came to a corner mouth. He stretched out his thumb and index finger and showed a vertical 90 degree. His index finger and one side of the corner remained relatively horizontal. He measured several corner openings and got an amazing result: "they are in the range of 30 and 45 degrees, with regularity!"
"Obviously, it's not natural." Ren Hong looked at a group of scholars and said, "imagine in your mind what it would be like to have a vertical view?"
Professor Liang and others did not say a word. They were obviously thinking and using their imagination according to Ren Hong's description. After a while, they came to a surprising conclusion. Professor Liang looked at Ren Hong suspiciously, "do you mean there is a hole in the rock wall?"
Ren Hong nodded slightly, staring at the hexagonal column with a corner exposed and inlaid with purple crystal, "no accident, this should be just the tip of the iceberg." Looking around, he added: "there should be a very large man-made factory here. It may be a laboratory, a base or even an aircraft. No matter what it is, there must be a building built by someone buried in it."
