Chapter 136 The Millennium Experiment·Discovery

(135 chapters)
Under the guidance of Chu Fei, everyone moved forward more than 50 meters.

The distance between you and the butterfly is shortened to 20 meters - the butterfly is flying forward, moving forward faster.

The size of the butterfly is more than ten meters. At a distance of 20 meters, it looks extremely shocking.

Without Chu Fei at this time, everyone has already seen the huge butterfly through the infrared device.

Li Longhua gave an order in a low voice, "Throw out a drone and test the butterfly's perception of sound."

While speaking, Chu Fei noticed that the huge feathery antennae of the butterfly trembled slightly.

Butterfly tentacles are actually very beautiful, but I am afraid that no one appreciates this beauty now.

A small drone flew out, and when unfolded, it was only the size of an egg.

The drone was very quiet. When it flew ten meters in front of the butterfly, it started to make a sound, which was the cry of a chicken.

The sound is very small and gradually increases.

I saw the butterfly's antennae trembling, and the direction of flight began to change.

Li Longhua briefly commented, "He has sound perception ability and is good, and his IQ does not seem to be high. It seems that in this dark environment, sound is an important means of perception.

The drone keeps this sound and backs off. "

The drone starts to fall back, and the butterfly starts to give chase.But after chasing for a while, the butterfly stopped suddenly, its tentacles trembling, and its flying direction went straight towards the crowd, quickly approached within ten meters of the crowd, and continued to move forward.

Li Longhua suddenly realized, "No, attack!"

The mechanical pistol fired, directly hitting the huge butterfly in front of it.

But at close range, everyone saw that the butterfly didn't even pause much, and the wounds on its body healed quickly, and it was intact in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Chu Fei couldn't help but gasped.The content described in the research materials read from the outside has come true!
The structure in the body can be controlled to liquefy, and the damage can be converted at will.Because this conversion speed is very fast, it can even restore wounds instantly without affecting the battle.

Li Longhua said calmly: "Attack the head, or the brain structure!"

The butterfly fluttered with an erratic trajectory. Everyone attacked several times before finally hitting the brain structure.The butterfly finally fluttered to the ground and never got up again.

The butterfly was less than five meters away from everyone.

Chu Fei looked at the butterfly and was using ultrasound to observe the situation inside the butterfly.

This butterfly has a complete internal organ structure, and even the bullets from the previous attack are still inside the body.But the bullet has been wrapped in layers of flocculent structure, and it only stays on the surface of the body, and does not penetrate deep into the interior.

This butterfly is huge in size, and the cutting force of the bullet is only thirty to fifty centimeters.

Chu Fei quickly calculated in his mind: When the bullet hurts the most, it does not penetrate, but stays in the body, which will form a powerful cavity.

But no such cavity was found in the butterfly body, which shows that the recovery ability of the butterfly is beyond imagination!

This further shows that the research done thousands of years ago was successful beyond imagination.

But it also makes it more dangerous.For example, the butterfly right now can be revived infinitely without hitting a vital point.

This is still a big one, what if it's a small one?What about the one that can't be aimed at?
In many cases, the smaller ones are more dangerous.

While Chu Fei was thinking, Li Longhua had already walked in front of the huge "butterfly", turned on the light and began to check.

The crowd also surrounded the past.

Only when you look at it up close can you understand the horror of this butterfly.

The scale powder on the surface of the body has evolved into scales, the edges of these scales are like knives, and they are extremely tough.Chu Fei stabbed it with a dagger, and it took a little force to do it - this so-called 'slight force' was based on Chu Fei's current physical fitness.

After a simple calculation, Chu Fei estimated the strength: equivalent to the strength of ordinary 1.2mm No. 45 carbon steel.

1.2mm carbon steel, don't underestimate it.If there was such a set of armor on the ancient battlefield, it would be invulnerable.

After quenching, No. 45 steel is the strength of a household kitchen knife.

Right now, it's just a rudimentary mutated bug—it's obviously impossible for such a thing to lead to the annihilation of the entire Flying Tiger team.

It is conceivable how powerful those advanced mutant bugs will be.

Chu Fei walked around slowly, seeing the butterfly clearly, especially the mouthparts.

Right now, the butterfly's mouthparts are as thick as a thigh, covered with barbs.The actual length of the curly mouthparts exceeds 2.7 meters!
Chu Fei always felt that the structure of this mouthpart was somewhat similar to the whip on his waist.

Li Longhua turned around and asked, "What do you think?"

Everyone talked about it one after another, most of which were dangerous, self-recovery, powerful mutations, and so on.

Li Longhua asked around and found Chu Fei.Chu Fei said: "The organisms here should have a certain degree of phototaxis. This research base focuses on the liquid metamorphosis process of pupae, and the rest has not been studied.

Therefore, I think some basic weaknesses of insects can still be exploited.Such as phototaxis.

But at the same time, we must be vigilant. After all, it is a mutation, and no one can know what kind of changes will happen.Not to mention that there are not only life on earth here, but even life in another dimension obtained through dimensional space and other methods. "

Li Longhua looked at Chu Fei with admiration, "Well said."

Everyone continued to discuss, and with Chu Fei's thinking, the content of the discussion became more and more.At the same time, some people began to detect the "toxicity" of butterflies.

Before the test results came out, Chu Fei moved his ears, and suddenly said, "Quickly turn off the lights! Another thing is coming, it sounds like a lot."

Li Longhua immediately ordered, "Turn off the lights. Chu Fei, continue to lead the way."

Chu Fei shook his head, "It's okay to lead the way, but I can only find out the general situation around me. How to arrange tactics requires General Li."

Li Longhua frowned slightly, "What is the scope of your investigation? What are the details of the investigation?"

Chu Fei experienced his investigative ability:

No dead angle detection in the whole range, range of 100 meters, maximum refresh rate of 30 Hz;

Partial fan-shaped detection, up to 340 meters, 30 Hz;

If it is fuzzy detection of infrasonic waves, it can reach a distance of 10 kilometers and 30 Hz;

If it is the delicate perception of ultrasonic waves, the effective distance is only 10 meters and 30 Hz;

Lock a target within five points, the maximum distance is 340 meters, 120 Hz;

If you just lock a point, lock a target, the frequency can reach 500 Hz.

After completing the self-inspection, Chu Fei said: "My current ability to perceive wind is limited. If it is a full-range perception, the maximum is 30 meters; local perception can reach more than 40 meters and no more than 50 meters, and the refresh rate is up to 30 Hz.

If it is ultrasonic perception, it will only look like five meters.

But it is also possible to vaguely perceive the surroundings through the passive mode. In theory, as long as there are sounds around, it can be retrieved.This has no distance limit.But after more than 340 meters, it is very blurry.

The other is speed.The wind of perception relies on the speed of sound. If it is an active investigation, and I make the sound and receive the echo, then the perception speed is half the speed of sound.

If the external perception of sound is used, then the velocity is the full speed of sound.

Active detection is slow, but effective;

Passive scouting is slightly less effective, but faster. "

Chu Fei's words are nine truths and one falsehood.

Li Longhua nodded slightly, "Then you sense the surrounding situation and make a rough judgment first."

Chu Fei sensed it for a while, and said: "In the range of 3 o'clock ahead, the perceived movement is the smallest.

But the feedback information is a bit strange, the sonic characteristics of the feedback are a bit similar to the situation in Research Center No. 114.And the mutant beasts around seem to avoid this position.

Then there is the front, where it seems that there are many mutant beasts charging, but it is only a little ahead, and the back is empty.However, according to the characteristics of the sound wave, the sprint here is very intense, and it may be relatively large.

Again, it is the direction at 10 o'clock, where the density is low, mainly because there are obstacles such as building pillars here.These pillars may be of some help to us.

As for the rest of the positions, they are pretty much the same. "

After a short pause, Chu Fei added, "However, there is one thing to explain, the temporary investigation of the surroundings is based on the analysis of the sound from a distance, and it is all calculated indirectly, not directly perceived.

Therefore, this information can only be used as a reference, and cannot be used directly. "

Li Longhua nodded.But he asked, "If it were you, which direction would you choose to break through?"

Chu Fei pointed straight ahead, "Here!"

Li Longhua was a little surprised: "Oh? Why?"

Chu Fei: "For us, darkness is our greatest enemy. Small animals are more dangerous when fighting in the dark. On the contrary, large animals are easier to hunt.

According to the analysis of the sound wave characteristics, the mutated animal directly in front of it is larger in size, and may also have stronger fighting power alone.But if our team sprints, we only need to face very few mutant animals; it is safer to divide them evenly.

There are also biological characteristics here, and it can only be fatal if it hits the vital point.And the key points of large animals are easier to grasp.

The larger the animal, the more bulky it is and the slower its reaction speed.

Finally, ahead is where the passage is. "

After hearing this, Li Longhua had to nod appreciatively.

Yes, that makes sense.

Everyone also nodded, agreeing with Chu Fei's analysis.

Anyone who has fought often knows that he would rather face a mutant tiger than a group of mutant goats.

A mutated tiger can be grinded to death as long as it is done properly.

But if it's a herd of goats, the one who grinds to death will be himself.

It's a similar situation now.

With a decision, everyone no longer hesitates, and immediately moves forward quickly.

Although they were walking fast, most of them were old soldiers walking on their feet. Chu Fei followed suit and lowered his voice as much as possible.

As he moved forward, Chu Fei finally locked the target through the wind of perception, and scanned out the approximate shape of the target through a series of dots—it seemed to be a group of spiders, a group of mutated giant spiders!
Chu Fei's expression turned ugly, and he immediately said, "General Li, they are a group of mutated giant spiders. According to the feedback, they are very similar to the human-faced spiders we saw at Base 114 earlier, and they are even bigger.

In general, larger animals are more sluggish, with the exception of spiders. "

Almost all spiders have a pair of stunts - ejection start and silk spinning.

The ejection starts fast, and spinning silk is a range attack.

Li Longhua gritted his teeth and immediately made a decision, "Left!"

To the left is the 10 o'clock direction that Chu Fei investigated earlier.

After moving forward for a while, Chu Fei scanned the shape of the mutated animal - it seemed to be a super strong locust, but a little fat.

Anyway, it's a similar bug.

When they got closer, the infrared equipment started to exert force, only to find that it was a group of mole crickets, but these mole crickets were a bit big, and they were all vigorous.

Mole crickets are flying fiercely, fast, powerful, and rampage.I wonder if there is a similar situation with the mutated mole cricket?
These mutated mole crickets did not run rampant like ordinary mole crickets, but crawled forward cautiously.

Perhaps the living environment for thousands of years has changed their habits.

But when Chu Fei and his group appeared near these mole crickets, they saw the tentacles of the mole crickets trembling rapidly, and then the mole crickets in front suddenly spread their wings, opened a pair of huge fangs, and flew towards the crowd.

The mole crickets are huge in size, and their wings are waving, buzzing like a fighter jet.This is completely different from the flying state of a butterfly.

But one thing is, not only does the sound of mole crickets fly like a fighter jet, but their flying attitude is also the same—flying straight.

The team members at the front immediately raised their guns, aiming at the mole cricket's head several times.

With a puff sound, the flying mole cricket fell headlong.The heavy body hit the ground with a muffled sound.

Chu Fei deduced from the voice, "The weight is at least 70 kilograms. A bug actually weighs [-] kilograms.

Considering that the worm itself is very powerful, if it is scaled up in equal proportions, the force of a 70 kg worm can only overturn a heavy excavator. "

"It's not that exaggerated." Li Longhua shook his head slightly. "The larger the body, the weaker the leverage. Of course, the strength of bugs is indeed very strong, so we still have to be careful."

More mutated mole crickets flew up, and there was a feeling of covering the sky for a while, as if the sky was covered by small fighter jets.

Chu Fei was quick to think, "Is there a drone that can emit light and make sound? Throw one out and try."

Immediately someone threw a drone.The drone was thrown more than 20 meters, and the rotors were deployed in mid-air, with colorful lights flashing and a pleasant bell sounding.

The next moment, the mole cricket that covered the sky and the sun chased the drone.

"Phototaxis!" Chu Fei thought about it, and then said, "Let's go."

There were still many mole crickets ahead, but they turned a blind eye to Chu Fei and others.

Everyone passed through the encirclement without any risk.

There were muffled battle sounds from behind.The high-altitude glowing drones have vanished.

"The bugs are fighting!" Li Longhua was thoughtful, but immediately said, "Let's go for a while, keep quiet and don't turn on the lights. Chu Fei, continue to scan the surrounding environment, especially looking for stairs.

This should be the building of the research base, and there should be a lot of information, even technology.

According to previous experience, it should be on the second floor, or even the third floor.

In addition, try to find out to see if there is a backup power system that can be switched. "

Lights cannot be used now, and the effectiveness of infrared equipment is limited after all. The detection of the road surface is almost entirely dependent on Chu Fei.

Watching Chu Fei earnestly scan and point out the surrounding situation, Li Longhua felt faintly moved in his heart: It is really the right way to forcibly conscript Chu Fei.

But at the same time, I also have more emotions for Chu Fei: This is really a genius!

Through simple conversations, Li Longhua already had a relatively clear understanding of the wind of perception.But it is precisely because of a clear understanding that one knows the difficulty of the wind of perception.

The dot matrix is ​​calculated by sound waves one by one, and then the outline of the object is arranged by refreshing the dot matrix.

The computing power used in this is beyond imagination.

However, in addition to computing power, there is also a large amount of basic knowledge to assist, such as the acoustic characteristics of different substances. These data are massive, and they all need to be memorized to form their own database.

So when Chu Fei said that the wind of perception consumes a lot of energy, Li Longhua didn't have the slightest doubt.

After walking for a while, Chu Fei suddenly stopped, "I found stairs ahead, but the stairs seem to be going down."

"Down?" Li Longhua was stunned for a moment, "There is no way to go up?"

Chu Fei shook his head slightly, "I haven't found it yet, at least not within the scope of my investigation."

Li Longhua was thoughtful, "There must be stairs every 50 meters in a general building. We have traveled quite a distance, and you have scanned a large area, but you only found such a passage to enter the ground."

What can Chu Fei say.Entering such an environment, the so-called exploration is the blind man feeling the elephant... Well, well, it is not as good as the blind man feeling the elephant.

No matter how big an elephant is, there is a limit, and here it is really big.

How big is this dimension?

How big are the buildings here?
Where is the research base?

Where is danger and where is safety?

Sorry, don't know anything.

The team that was completely wiped out in front left everyone with a messy picture, most of which were strategic shifting battles...well, escape.

But there is still one thing to discover: emergency exit signs!
The team that was wiped out in front also left after this.

Chu Fei looked at the signboard of the emergency passage, and suddenly said, "I have an idea, all important research locations should be connected with the emergency passage. In the event of an accident, they can be evacuated quickly.

Maybe, if we searched against the emergency passage, we could find something. "

"Not bad!" Li Longhua praised, "I didn't expect this!"

Everyone explores against the arrow indicating the emergency passage.

Suddenly Chu Fei's eyes lit up - he found a piece of equipment, the nameplate of which was barely recognizable: the DC transformer of the incubator.

In just a split second, the inspection route appeared in Chu Fei's mind!

Chu Fei kept his composure and continued to move forward; anyway, it was difficult for others to spot Chu Fei's expression in the dark.

As the emergency passage continued to advance for about 2 minutes, Chu Fei finally found the next building on the inspection list: the transformer duty room, which is also the control center of the transformer equipment.

Two points determine a line, and this principle can also be used in inspection routes.

With this, it is possible to determine the direction of the inspection route, combined with the emergency passage, quickly outline the general situation, and then determine the final goal:
Main control room!
The main control room is also the general control center of the research base. In theory, all the data is collected here.

However, due to the limited information in the inspection table, it is not yet possible to determine the specific location of the main control room, whether it is upstairs or underground, which requires retrograde exploration according to the inspection table.

Do you want to tell Li Longhua and others?
Chu Fei immediately consumed a drop of wisdom dew to make deduction, thinking about dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of possibilities in an instant.

As the saying goes, a fool must think twice. After thinking wildly, Chu Fei finally made an absolutely rational choice.
