Chapter 527 Detecting the earthquake source
In the enlarged thermal map, this strange thing fluctuates regularly as if it is breathing. Naturally, it is unlikely to have sufficient oxygen in such a deep underground, but...
"It's like it's alive." The staff member said in disbelief at this time, and Commander Chen also became serious, and she said:
"Can I get detailed data?!"
"Because the source of the earthquake is only one thousand meters underground, we can send ground elves to carry instruments and sneak into the depths of the ground to detect it at close range." Someone said.
After Commander Chen heard this, he seemed to have considered the feasibility and nodded:
"Okay, just do it."
…
"Aye, what are they doing?" When Ye Chuan and others returned from the rescue scene, An Shiyu saw a group of people in white holding various instruments, seemingly detecting something.
"I don't know." Ye Chuan didn't know either. He shook his head, but he found that Commander Chen was also following the group of white-clothed staff, and he seemed to have discovered something.
After thinking for a while, Ye Chuan said to An Shiyu who was on the side: "Shiyu, go check on the injured first. I'll go over there. Ling, just follow Shiyu."
"I see."
"Then go ahead, Aye."
After the explanation, Ye Chuan also walked towards Commander Chen, and at this time Chen Linlin also followed: "I'll go with you."
Ye Chuan glanced at Chen Linlin a little strangely, but didn't say anything and let her follow by default.
"Come here, how is the situation over there?" Commander Chen asked after seeing Ye Chuan and Chen Linlin.
"There are not many trapped people over there, and the rescue went very smoothly." After Ye Chuan finished speaking, Commander Chen looked at Chen Linlin again: "Did you obey the command?"
When Chen Linlin heard this, she glanced at Ye Chuan and had no choice but to cross her arms and stop talking: "Well, the command is okay."
Commander Chen withdrew his gaze and then looked at Ye Chuan:
"This time we found the source of the earthquake, but we found some strange places, so now we need to use instruments to detect the specific situation."
Strange place?
Ye Chuan touched his chin after hearing this: "Do we still need to look at the specific circumstances of the source of the earthquake? I remember it is just those circumstances."
Commander Chen shook his head: "No, this earthquake source is very special. It is not like an ordinary plate fracture, but..."
As she said that, she paused and looked at Chen Linlin: "You should avoid it first."
Chen Linlin's face changed: "Why, is there anything else I can't know?"
"Indeed." Chen commanded.
"Then he can?" Chen Linlin pointed at Ye Chuan.
"He is different from you, so of course he can." After Commander Chen finished speaking, Chen Linlin immediately shouted: "Mom!"
"Chen Linlin!" Commander Chen shouted, causing Chen Linlin to tremble all over.
"Get down!"
Seeing Commander Chen's serious expression, Chen Linlin bit her lip and finally stomped away.
"It turns out to be your daughter." Ye Chuan said slowly after seeing this.
"What a joke. This kid has been following me since I divorced my ex-husband, so he has a rather unruly personality." Commander Chen sighed.
"It seems that you and your daughter don't have a good relationship either." Ye Chuan seemed to understand something.
Commander Chen showed a wry smile: "Indeed, you guessed it right."
Then her expression returned to normal: "Then it's time to get down to business. We discovered something unusual about the source of the earthquake, which is that it is very likely to have life characteristics."
"Is the source of the earthquake alive?" Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath:
"are you sure?"
Commander Chen shook his head: "We haven't determined yet, so we need to send ground elves to detect it at close range."
As she said that, she pointed to the gophers not far away: "For elves that are suitable for moving underground, gophers are undoubtedly very suitable because they are relatively small, even if they dig deeper, What damage will it cause to the formation, and its size is also suitable for carrying bundled detection instruments.”
Ye Chuan glanced at the gophers in the distance and found that their auras were not weak. It seemed that they were not found temporarily in the wild.
"The equipment has been installed." Several staff members said after hitting the detection equipment and cameras on the gopher.
"Then let's go, let's go directly above the earthquake source."
After the group got in the car, it took less than ten minutes to arrive at a square. The damage here was also the greatest, and from a distance, Ye Chuan saw a tall tower falling on the ground. On the ground, it seemed as if it had been broken off, leaving only a steel base.
"This is the Lingshui Iron Tower, which is also one of the landmark buildings in Lingshui City. It is 468 meters high. It was completely destroyed due to the earthquake. It is really a pity." Commander Chen on the side of the car shook his head with a look on his face. regret.
"It is indeed a pity. I have seen information about Lingshui Iron Tower in textbooks before." As Ye Chuan said, the car also stopped. After the group got out of the car, they also summoned the gopher.
"Gophers move very quickly underground and can approach the target very quickly." After Commander Chen finished speaking, several staff members also came over and said:
"Commander, we are ready. Do you want to proceed with the detection operation?"
"Let's get started." Chen commanded. She could have waited for the news in the tent, but she was too concerned about this matter and came in person.
"Detection begins!"
After receiving the information, the gophers nodded their heads one after another, and began to dig into the soil and dive downwards. Their speed was very fast, and the specific signals were fed back to the display screen through special instruments.
"Nine hundred meters away from the target!"
"Seven hundred meters!"
"Five hundred meters!"
The gophers kept getting closer to the target, and at this time, Ye Chuan, Commander Chen and others looked at the screen.
The camera is naturally pitch black, but through special processing, some traces of soil can still be seen clearly in the darkness.
"Three hundred meters!"
…
"Two hundred meters!"
"We have arrived near the target!"
The screen was still dark, but some dark red stones could be faintly seen.
"Start scanning!"
The instruments placed on the gophers underground began to emit scanning rays, directly penetrating the entire soil layer and completely scanning the earthquake source in front of them.
So the three-dimensional image appeared directly on the monitor on the other side.
"It is being analyzed and the soil layers are being peeled off and restored," the staff member said.
Ye Chuan and Commander Chen stared closely at each other, not moving away for a moment.
Subsequently, the soil layer was separated in three dimensions to restore the original appearance of the earthquake source.
As the true face of the earthquake source appeared, everyone present on the screen took a breath.
On the screen, there is actually a huge beast!
It has huge claws and tail, and its body is covered with high temperature, as if molten fluid is flowing on its surface!
"Is it really an elf?!" A staff member said in disbelief. A super earthquake that was like a natural disaster and made countless people homeless was actually caused by an elf? !
Is the power of elves really so terrifying?
"Analyze this elf's information immediately!" Commander Chen immediately calmed down and said.
"Report to the command, after comparison, there is no matching elf information." Soon, the comparison information came out.
"Could it be an elf that has never been discovered?" Commander Chen frowned:
"Send the elf analysis chart to Dr. Wang and ask him to analyze the elf information."
But at this moment, Ye Chuan slowly said:
"I may have information about this elf."
Commander Chen and the staff turned their heads and looked at Ye Chuan.
"Ye Chuan, do you know this elf?" Commander Chen asked, has Ye Chuan seen this elf somewhere else?
Ye Chuan nodded and then said:
"I once visited a ruins, where I saw some murals left from ancient times, which recorded information about several legendary elves, and one of them named Groudon was related to the one in the analysis diagram. That elf is very similar," Ye Chuan said.
"Groudon?" Commander Chen thought for a while:
"I seem to have seen this name in ancient books. It is a legendary elf that can create the earth and lava... But, it is a legend after all."
The legendary elf was placed in front of him. Even though Commander Chen was well-informed, it was difficult to accept this for a while.
But the power of this elf made Commander Chen have to admit that it was not something that ordinary elves could achieve.
But if it is true as recorded in the legend... then what should we do with this elf?
It caused such terrible damage without any sign of activity. If it wakes up and cannot be controlled, the consequences will be unimaginable...
"Block the news immediately. No one is allowed to tell outsiders about today's events!" Commander Chen said immediately. The information cannot be spread out yet.
The staff nodded one after another. They were all senior researchers of the alliance and naturally knew that this kind of information could not be passed on easily.
Then Commander Chen looked at Ye Chuan and said:
"Ye Chuan, the development of the matter is beyond our imagination. We must report the matter to the headquarters and study countermeasures."
Ye Chuan nodded: "I understand."
"It looks like this guy is still sleeping... Then after collecting the information, let the gophers come back immediately. It's too dangerous out there."
"clear!"
After everyone returned to the tent, Ye Chuan also returned to his tent. According to Commander Chen's current intention, he should not publicize this matter for the time being and report the detailed information to the headquarters to find countermeasures. For now, it is still Rescue is the primary goal.
"Is it really the legendary elves..." Ye Chuan murmured. He suddenly remembered the girl who was separated from him in the ruins before. She seemed to know the information about the legendary elves very well. If the person is not dead, , you can ask for some detailed information about Groudon.
But in that case, it was impossible to survive, not to mention that Ye Chuan later sent people and Jean Youyou to help search, but no body was found.
"Aye, are you okay?" An Shiyu and the others asked after seeing Ye Chuan coming back.
After Ye Chuan saw that everyone was actually in his tent, he came back to his senses and was a little surprised: "There are so many people, Shiyu, where is your tent?"
"I just went to ask and they said the tents are gone." An Shiyu said:
"So let's come over and squeeze in."
Ye Chuan looked at the size of the tent. If it accommodated so many people sleeping together, it would still be very crowded. Fortunately, Ye Lin and Ye Xiaoyi were relatively small, so it was not impossible.
"I can just sleep outside." Zero said at this time.
"No need." Ye Chuan said, and then made the bed a little:
"If Shiyu and I sleep together, it's okay for three people to sleep in the remaining seats. After all, Ye Lin and Xiaoyi don't occupy much space."
After Ling heard this, he looked at An Shiyu and Ye Chuan's beds and said:
"Master, the location is too small for you and Miss Shiyu to exercise."
"Sports?" Ye Chuan was stunned and reacted suddenly, while An Shiyu on the side blinked cutely, not quite understanding.
Ye Chuan coughed: "Okay, it's settled."
"I see."
…
…
At this time, under a rubble, a girl with a ponytail was walking on the roadside. She kicked the stones on the ground angrily, her mouth full of dissatisfaction:
"Why, I'm obviously her daughter!"
"Is there such a thing as a mother?!"
"You don't regard me as your own child at all. You really think I'm a burden, so why don't you send me to my dad's house?!"
The more she talked, the angrier she became, and she even began to stomp on rocks on the ground to vent her anger.
After doing all this, Chen Linlin took a deep breath. When she wanted to calm down her mood, she suddenly noticed a figure hiding in the darkness and peeking at her.
Anyone?
This made Chen Linlin suddenly come back to her senses from her angry state. She squinted her eyes, took out the elf ball, white light flashed, and a lizard king appeared next to her:
"Who is where, come out!"
"Kaka." The sound of stepping on stones sounded, and a man in a black cloak came out and said in a hoarse voice:
"Miss, I don't mean any harm."
"Then why are you hiding there?!" Chen Linlin looked at the cloaked man and said:
"Identify yourself immediately!"
The Lizard King next to him also lit up his green blade.
"I really don't mean any harm. I just heard that you were a little excited, so I was just hiding there in fear." After the cloaked man finished speaking, he rubbed his hands:
"You seem to be from the Alliance. I just discovered something very strange and wanted to report it to the Alliance."
"Something strange?" Chen Linlin was stunned for a moment, and then she found that the cloaked man took out a strange red gem and stretched out his hand:
"That's it. I just found it in the ruins. If possible, leave it to the Alliance for safekeeping."
Chen Linlin first looked at the cloaked man, then stepped forward and looked at the red gem.
This gemstone is red in color with a somewhat beguiling color, and there is a strange symbol on the gemstone, but at a glance, you can tell that this is not a glass product, but a real gemstone.
After Chen Linlin took the gem, she looked at the cloaked man suspiciously:
"Did you really pick it up?"
The cloaked man nodded.
"Why are you covering your face?" Chen Linlin asked again.
The cloaked man fell into silence for a few seconds, and then said: "This city has a dress code?"
Chen Linlin came back to her senses and seemed to understand that she had crossed the line, so she waved her hand and said, "Just pretend that I didn't say anything. Okay, I will keep this thing for safekeeping. You can go back."
"Okay, hehehe." The cloaked man suddenly let out a weird laugh, then slowly turned around and left.
But Chen Linlin looked at the other party's leaving figure, put the gem away, turned around and headed back to the camp.
