Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

Human beings have had the ideal of looking up at the starry sky since ancient times.

In October 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial earth satellite.This Earth satellite, called "Sputnik10," started the first space race in human history.

In 1961, the "Mojo Project" led by the United States began experiments in the Pacific Ocean.It is a basis for exploring the space program: the earth is a planet in the solar system, and all the secrets from its birth to the present are hidden in the stratum.Understanding the earth can enable humans to better understand other planets in the solar system outside the earth.

At this moment, Liu Yingnian was like a real investigator. Entering his professional field, he suddenly became talkative and serious.He patted the dirt under his butt.

"On the earth, the earth we usually contact is the crust. Below the crust is the mantle. Between the crust and the mantle, there is a layer of Mohorovich discontinuity, which we generally call 'Moho' for short. The crust is hard , but the Moho is a layer of unsolidified magma that flows slowly between the crust and the mantle as the Earth rotates."

The purpose of the "Moho Project" is to drill holes in the ocean, pass through the crust, and reach the Moho surface to obtain mantle samples.

In the Pacific Ocean, the depth of the Moho surface is relatively shallow, only about 5000 meters.As long as the borehole breaks through the Moho surface, mantle samples can be obtained as planned.

The "Mojo Project" drilled five holes into the earth's crust in the deep Pacific Ocean.The deepest one is 183 meters.

But drilling was soon halted.

There are many reasons for suspending the plan, such as the issue of combat readiness funds, research results, and allocation of scientific research funds.

Although the plan was suspended, it started an ocean drilling program that lasted for decades and involved various countries.

"The United States is drilling holes in the sea, while its competitor, the Soviet Union, is drilling holes on land." Liu Yingnian spread out his small notebook and drew a schematic diagram, "Kola Superdeep, Kola super deep drilling, also known as 'Earth Telescope' program."

The Soviets tried to build a long telescope to peer inside the Earth.

The deep hole has been drilled since 1970, and in 1989, the deepest artificial borehole in the world was drilled, reaching a depth of 12262 meters.

Same ending: Drilling stopped abruptly.

"The United States and the Soviet Union are not the only ones who launched the deep earth drilling program. Germany also implemented the KTB program in 1987, drilling more than 9000 meters." Liu Yingnian said, "All these programs, without exception, occurred after drilling to a certain depth. Strange thing happened."

Yugan: "Ghost?"

Jiang Xiao: "Another world creature?"

Fan Xing: "Underground people?"

"..." Liu Yingnian was stuck for a moment, "The drill hole cut through a...a special space."

At first, the hardness of the rock contacted by the drill bit decreased, which was due to the influence of pressure and high temperature, and the rock properties changed.

After breaking through this layer of rock, the drill bit suddenly loses force.

There are no obstacles in front of it.There are no rocks, no magma, no geological products formed hundreds of millions of years ago.There was nothing, it was a complete void.

This strange state lasted for about an hour.According to the top-secret report from the Soviet Union, when they started the drill again an hour later, they found that the void disappeared, and the drill continued to fight tenaciously with the rock deep in the earth's crust.

This is what happened when the Kola borehole was dug down to a depth of 6000 meters.

Immediately afterwards, at 6500 meters and 7500 meters, exactly the same thing happened again.The drill bit seemed to penetrate into a huge, bottomless space, and there was nothing in the space.The strange situation lasted longer and longer. After drilling 12000 meters, no matter how the drill bit moved forward, the depth count continued to increase, but no samples were harvested.

Below 12000 meters, the crust seems to disappear.

For no reason, some broken pictures suddenly flashed in Yu Zhou's mind.

He stood in the dark tunnel again.Above the tunnel, in the sky that he couldn't touch at all, a crack was like a tree root, stretching its teeth and claws, stretching across the top of his head.Fine snow fell slowly from the cracks.

Yu Zhou blinked, he saw blue and white jellyfish swimming past him, and saw purple aquatic plants growing on his hands.The eddies in the depths of the ocean, like black eye sockets, swept him away and devoured him.

He was a little dizzy.When I shook my head, I saw the dried fish floating in mid-air, motionless.It is also listening carefully to what Liu Yingnian said.

Deep sea whirlpools, white crevasses.

Yu Zhou's palms were covered with cold sweat: What is this space he is in?

"Universe is infinite space. Universe is endless time. In addition to the space and time we live in, there are endless kinds of time and space. Sometimes parallel, sometimes interlaced." Liu Yingnian said, "You can understand this Is it a little?"

Fisherman's hat: "It's a cliché, you want to say that we have passed through the 'trap', but actually entered a parallel time and space?"

Liu Yingnian shook his head: "Not so lucky."

His mouth kiss made people nervous.

"The place we are in is collectively referred to as a 'gap' in the research field." Liu Yingnian said, "It is a narrow gap created when countless spaces intersect with each other."

Yu Zhou suddenly understood: "You mean, those drill holes that go deep into the ground have opened up 'gap'?"

According to Liu Yingnian's research results on deep holes, a "gap" is a long and narrow space that constantly moves and moves in time and space.It has no fixed location, the drilling holes of the United States and Germany briefly connected the "gap", but soon the entrance was closed, and only the Kola drilling hole of the Soviet Union broke through the gap between different time and space without knowing it. The barriers connected the "gap" with the real world of human beings.

It may be related to factors such as pressure, temperature, time, the moment of energy flow in the universe, solar storms, etc. In a word, the [-]-meter-deep hole located on the Kola Peninsula is the first "trap" for human beings to connect the "gap". null".

"Void" is the passage between the real world and the "gap".Those who fall into the "trap" will enter the "gap".

This is Liu Yingnian's known conclusion.

And there are countless "birdcages" in the "gap", and Liu Yingnian hardly knew about it before he fell into the "trap".

He is just an intern investigator who joined the investigation bureau right after graduating from university. He only has a monthly allowance of 800 yuan. His internship performance is not good, and he is always on the verge of being eliminated.

More things about "gaps" and "voids".He hasn't had a chance to touch it yet.

But what Liu Yingnian said was shocking enough.

The fish on the grill was already burnt, no one said anything, just looked at Liu Yingnian.

Liu Yingnian was sweating profusely, pushing his glasses back and forth.

"What's more, almost every country is trying to drill holes." He said, "The 'cavities' chiseled by humans will not be closed, and the drill holes on the Kola Peninsula still exist today. Although they cannot be connected "Gaps", but the United States and Germany are still trying to keep trying, and the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and the deep holes in the Bavarian region of Germany are protected."

"What do you mean won't close?"

Liu Yingnian took a deep breath: "That's right, you can still throw things into it now. In addition to studying why the deep holes and 'gap' exist, they are actually the most convenient garbage holes. Nuclear waste must disappear. Data, flights that can't reappear in the world, people who don't know what to do with them...all thrown in the deep hole."

After a long silence under the bridge hole, Yu Zhou suddenly asked, "Wait! Could it be that the 'trap' point we entered was also man-made?"

Jiang Xiao immediately said: "Impossible. When I fell in, it was just an ordinary ground, and suddenly a hole appeared."

Liu Yingnian waved his hand: "It's not artificial. The 'trap' we fall into is a passage that will be closed immediately after falling into an object. This kind of passage is not made by humans."

Fisherman's Hat: "What's causing the trouble?"

"It's the 'Gap'." Liu Yingnian replied, "The 'Gap' has its own will. It is invading and plundering things in the human world."

Yu Zhou spent an extremely difficult sleepless night.

Everything Liu Yingnian said was buzzing in his mind.

He was momentarily terrified, and momentarily hopeless.

Going back to Jiu Jiu's side is the biggest motivation for him to persist until now.When struggling to survive in the "birdcage", Yu Zhou didn't allow himself to think too much about unsolvable problems.But the truth of the "gap" made him feel uncontrollable fear.

The "Gap" has a will of its own.Yu Zhou thought of the huge palm he had glanced at in a hurry.

Was what Fu Yuncong saw was the mysterious "will"?It has a body?Why is it a human arm?Why does it speak human words?It was human beings who brutally destroyed the barriers of safety and invaded the "gap" first.So what did the Rift learn from the human world? Is the "will" growing?

Yu Zhou had a splitting headache.He went downstairs to drink water at the bar, and saw that the door of the bar was open, and Fan Xing was standing outside the door looking into the distance.

Seeing him coming, Fan Xing waved at him.

"What are you looking at?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Meteor." Fan Xing seemed to have taken a nap, his long hair was scattered on his shoulders, and his smile under the street lamp showed a rare warmth.

Following the direction of his finger, Yu Zhou saw something falling from the sky in the night sky, dragging a long, golden tail.

Drop by the river.

Fu Yuncong's city is very quiet and quite safe.It was rare for Yu Zhou to let go of his fears, and went for a walk with Fan Xing to the river.

There is still some distance from the ferry.There is a small pier by the river. The pier looks like a waste station, with countless miscellaneous items piled up.

"What are these?" Yu Zhou was startled.The "Meteor" just now turned out to be a few small shelves with snacks scattered all over the floor.

He picked it up and saw that the production date was 1998 and the shelf life was 1999.

Like Yoo, they come from the "past".

For people and things that fall into the "empty space", the time seems to be disrupted.Although they come from different times and places, they will meet in the same "birdcage".

Fan Xing pulled out a backpack from the sundries at the pier, and threw it to Yu Zhou: "Put your notes and dried fish heart in it. Don't keep putting it in Liu Yingnian's bag, he has too many secrets."

Yugan: "Just throw away your heart."

Both Yu Zhou and Fan Xing pretended not to hear.This heart was hidden densely in the mountains by people, it was obviously a precious thing, and the dried fish didn't like it, but they had to keep it first.

There are all kinds of things on the pier, everything that one expects to find.A small "crack" will appear anywhere, and not only people but also various things enter this "gap".

A colorful paper boat landed at Yu Zhou's feet.He picked up the paper boat and put it into the water.The paper boat drifted away with the river, and Yu Zhou remembered the words he had asked him for a long time—where did the disappearing things go?

Fan Xing found a hat to wear, and asked Yu Zhou: "Look, anything in the real world can fall here. Haven't you thought about another possibility?"

Yu Zhou was at a loss: "What is possible?"

"Your sister, Jiujiu." Fan Xing said with a smile, "She also fell into the 'trap'."

The author has something to say:

The deep drilling plans of the United States, the former Soviet Union, and Germany are all real. For the Kola deep drilling of the Soviet Union, you can search for the "Earth Telescope" project.
