Great Power Technology

Chapter 50 The Pantiri Cave Effect

Ye Zhou was so startled that he almost broke free from his seat belt and jumped up from the driver's seat. He anxiously called into the intercom, but got no response.

"Earth Temple, Earth Temple! I have an abnormal situation here! It seems that I have encountered an unknown creature, please take it back immediately, please take it back immediately!"

The eyes on the screen blinked suddenly, and then disappeared in the darkness.

Ye Zhou adjusted the power of all detection equipment to the strongest, but there was nothing on the screen.

Neither sonar nor optical detectors picked up any signals.

Is it hallucination? ?

Ye Zhou slapped himself violently. The detector squirmed in the tunnel and turned around. The super-strong sound wave shot towards this not-so-large cave, and then returned a large clutter.

Nothing, really no sign of life.

But what was that eye just now?
Just when Ye Zhou was full of doubts, a shocking roar suddenly came from outside the cabin, and then the detector was hit violently!

The impact came from the rear, which was not a blind spot for monitoring, but when Ye Zhou looked at the camera, he only saw messy rocks.

The canine teeth bared, as if to engulf him and this small probe.

Countless alarms sounded inside the impacted detector. The detection system failed, a layer of heat insulation was damaged, and the pressure-bearing layer was dented. Fortunately, the power system of this detector has not been damaged.

Ye Zhou didn't hesitate anymore, he didn't intend to wait for the command's opinion any longer.

He nimbly operated various buttons on the console, and almost instantly, the thrust reverser engine of the probe began to run at full speed, the direction of the nozzle was constantly adjusted, and Tuxingsun-[-] began to rush straight up toward the hole it came from. .

A giant searchlight with more than 10 lumens swept across the cavern at the bottom of the tunnel. In the fleeting scene, Ye Zhou finally saw the true face of that thing.

It has wings on its back, covered with scales, and its eyes are golden.

What the hell is it a dragon? ?

Or Western Dragon? ?

Are you kidding me?
Ye Zhou suddenly calmed down.

It is impossible to have dragons in this world, even if there are dragons, it should not be like the one in western magic, and it should not appear in this cave that has just been excavated artificially!
It can only be an illusion.

He stared straight at the dragon on the screen, and the dragon looked straight at him.

In the next second, the evil dragon charged straight up and rushed towards the small detector.

The shell of the detector was torn apart in an instant, and Ye Zhou's whole body was exposed to the scorching heat. In just a few seconds, his eyes were completely turned into darkness.

There are no rewards and no clues.

Ye Zhou frowned. He has been in a dazed state since he entered the simulation. Isn't this a simulation of Dragon Heart?Shouldn't it be a plot related to aero engines?
How could he suddenly enter the plot of drilling underground?
Is there something in it related to the aero-engine?
It can't be that dragon, can it?This is too ridiculous!
As a good young man who was born in the new society and grew up under the red flag, Ye Zhou would not believe in the existence of such a supernatural creature.

After thinking for a moment, he entered the simulation playback screen.

At this time, he was still from the perspective of God, and the time quickly jumped to the moment when he discovered the shadow, and then only for a moment, Ye Zhou understood.

It was indeed an illusion, the shadow did not exist at all, and the connection with the command center was never interrupted. His earphones kept sending calls from the command center above, but he turned a deaf ear to them.

There are no eyes on the screen, let alone dragons.

Ye Zhou saw himself in the simulation looking at the completely empty screen in horror, yelling hysterically into the communicator, frantically manipulating various devices, like a lunatic,
Finally, he turned the direction of the probe, and then turned the power of the thrust reverser engine to the maximum, and finally hit the dark brown rock in the cave hall.

Therefore, the detector that was torn apart by the dragon in the hallucination was actually smashed by himself.

Ye Zhou let out a long sigh of relief. This at least proved that there were no monsters underground that manpower could not fight against.

As long as it is an illusion, there must be a way to break the illusion—especially after watching the replay.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath, got rid of the discomfort caused by the hallucinations in his mind, and entered the simulation again.

This time, he contacted the headquarters as soon as he came up.

"Tudi Temple, this is Tu Xingsun. The current state is normal, and I will keep the communication channel open from now on."

"Received from the Temple of Earth, Tu Xingsun, please pay attention to check the loss rate of the insulation layer."

"The loss rate is less than 1%. Earth Temple, please help me play a good day, thank you."

".Tu Xingsun, please repeat your request again."

Ye Zhou smiled helplessly. This was the best way he could think of to fight against the hallucinations—in fact, he wanted to play a march, but the march was obviously not suitable for this occasion, and the soundtrack wasn't noisy enough. It's better to have a good day.

There should be no weird hallucinations to survive under the BGM of a good day, right?
"Earth Temple, my request is to help me play a good day. I feel mentally exhausted, probably due to the psychological effect of claustrophobia, and I need some spiritual support."

".Understood, I will use the second frequency band to play songs for you, the first frequency band is still used for normal calls, please keep the first frequency band clean."

"clear."

After a while, Ye Zhou's cheerful singing of good days really came out of his earphones, and he unknowingly sang along to the singing, until the detector entered the cavern at the bottom of the tunnel, everything was normal.

He turned on all the detection instruments step by step, turned on the searchlight, and deployed the robotic arm, and then successfully collected all the rock samples, and operated the robotic arm to decompose and record the rocks in the special environment of the tunnel.

This is an essential step. The environment deep in the stratum is completely different from that on the ground. Looking at the various data analysis records on the console, he finally understood the purpose of this detection.

In the previous drilling, a new material with extremely high hardness and high temperature resistance was discovered. Once this material is brought into the formation, its properties will change drastically. Therefore, Ye Zhou's purpose is to find out this material. The composition of the material, and the conditions of artificial synthesis are analyzed.

Ye Zhou successfully obtained the elemental composition of the material, but he didn't take a closer look. He put it away and drove the detector back to the ground. At this time, the good luck music in the earphones still didn't stop. Ye Zhou watched the shooting from outside the cabin. Sunshine opened the hatch with a sigh of relief.

However, the moment the cabin door opened, a question suddenly popped up in his mind.

Why haven't I contacted the command?
The darkness struck, and Ye Zhou returned to the void again.

Ye Zhou frowned. He was obviously very careful just now, but unexpectedly, he entered the hallucination again.

Judging from the replay, he even forcibly opened the hatch of the detector deep underground while humming a song!
What kind of weird place is this?

Hallucinations cannot be caused by lack of oxygen or inhalation of abnormal gases. What can penetrate the detector casing is either radiation or magnetic fields.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou's mind suddenly exploded with thunder.

He had seen reports of such scenes before.

It's the Pantieri Cave Effect!
There is a mysterious cave in Greece called Pantieri Cave. Anyone who walks into that cave will have hallucinations, without exception!
Similarly, in Mao Xiongguo's Earth Telescope Project, once the explorers entered a position below 10 kilometers below the bottom layer, all the researchers also experienced severe hallucinations, which even led to the tragedy of dozens of casualties !
Compared with the scene in the simulator, the cause of these hallucinations should be the same.

This is a curse from the abyss.

No one knows what causes it, and no one can avoid it.

Ye Zhou took a deep breath.

The Pantilli Cave effect. It seems that this is not a problem that he can solve alone.
