Catastrophe

The valley where Zhou Gong disappeared is very beautiful. The hillsides on both sides are flat, and the bushes are dotted with large patches of colorful wildflowers. Bees and butterflies are flying during the period, which is a vibrant scene.

And it is such a gorgeous looking place that has swallowed more than 50 people from the military government. Since Zhou Gong and his twelve guards disappeared, more than 50 people have entered in the morning, and there has been no movement.

The two battalions of the garrison had assembled here, more than six hundred heavily armed, and pointed their guns at the canyons and the woods on the hillsides, in case there was any indescribable threat.

In front of the team, Ning Zhe, Zhang Fang, Ren Jiao, Lin Bao, and Liu Yu had already put on their exoskeletons, and they were accompanied by Professor Yan's right-hand man, Dr. Chen.

Among the group of people in the drug farm, Dr. Chen has almost always appeared as the spokesperson of Professor Yan. At this time, even he was willing to take the risk to follow into Jin Qinhuan, which is enough to prove that the scientific research center attaches great importance to Zhou Gong.

In addition to Ning Zhe and his party, there are also four soldiers accompanying them, who are mainly responsible for passing messages back and forth, as well as some simple auxiliary work.

Hu Yihan stood beside Ning Zhe, helped him stick the Velcro on the exoskeleton, and patted his arm: "Our team will follow up at a position 50 meters behind you, standing every 10 meters behind you. One person, to receive your shouting or the signal sent back, if there is a gunshot in front of you, or there is no movement for three minutes, our soldiers will rush to rescue."

Ning Zhe thought for a while: "Are three minutes too short? Five minutes."

"If so many of you don't move for three minutes, I'm afraid it's enough to explain the problem." Hu Yihan shook his head and refused: "If it wasn't for the fact that you had to rescue, I originally set the time to be one minute."

"Okay, listen to you." Seeing that Dr. Chen was ready, Ning Zhe didn't delay any further: "The rescue team has assembled, we should set off!"

A group of ten people quickly assembled and began to head to the canyon where Zhou Gong disappeared under the leadership of Ning Zhe.

The footprints left by the previous three teams on the grass were very clear. Ning Zhe followed the footprints and walked a long way into the valley, and finally stopped.

The center of this valley seems to have been spliced ​​out by people, and the grass at the foot stops abruptly. In front of it is the rocky mountain wall and the ground, and there is a faint garlic smell in the air. , and some rocks glow yellow.

"Arsenic pyrite!" Dr. Chen recognized the glowing stone at a glance: "This ore is the raw material for arsenic extraction, please don't touch it!"

When Lin Bao heard Dr. Chen's words, he glanced at the mountain subconsciously and found a cluster of blue crystals on the cliff. He opened his eyes and pointed to the other side: "Damn it! Crystal, such a big piece of crystal, if you put it in the fortress , I'm afraid it will sell for a sky-high price!"

"That's not a crystal, it's copper sulfate pentahydrate, commonly known as blue vitriol. This thing melts into or goes deep into the water, which will have a fatal effect on animals and plants!" Dr. Chen looked at the colorful stones on the surrounding mountain walls, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "Three Arsenic sulfide, red thallium lead, galena... and even copper-uranium mica! We can't move on, let the people behind us send protective equipment over! Otherwise these stones will kill us!"

Lin Bao looked at Dr. Chen's fuss and laughed, "Dr. Chen, are you a little too nervous? It's just some rocks, they can't eat people!"

Dr. Chen pointed to a blood-red crystal stone on the rock wall and said very seriously: "Do you know what it is? Copper-uranium mica is a uranium-containing mineral that can be used to extract uranium. This ore not only has Radiation, but also releases toxic radon gas!"

The soldier on one side looked at Dr. Chen sideways: "Use stones to refine oil, what nonsense?"

Dr. Chen corrected: "It's not oil, it's uranium! Uranium for making nuclear bombs!"

Several refugee-born soldiers looked at each other: "What the hell?"

"Fuck off!" Ning Zhe waved his hands and drove the soldiers aside, and asked Dr. Chen, "Doctor, you just said that the stones here are poisonous, will the people who disappeared in Jin Qinhuan follow? Are these stones related?"

"Perhaps! Judging from the traces, these ores were originally under soil layers and rocks. It was only exposed by wind and rain erosion in recent years. With so many highly toxic stones, this is the first time I have been in See you in the wild! If we enter rashly, I am afraid that the toxicity and radiation of these stones will kill us!"

Dr. Chen stopped, looked at the soldiers who were following them from a few dozen meters away, and said, "We must have people bring protective equipment over, we can't just go in!"

"Damn it!" After listening to Dr. Chen's words, Zhang Fang looked at Ning Zhe worriedly: "The protective equipment in our hands is extremely limited, and it is simply not enough for the troops behind, which means that they cannot come with us. Going deep into the canyon, isn't our backup gone?"

Zhang Fang looked at Dr. Chen: "If you know these ores, Zhou Gong should also know them? Why did he rush into it?"

"Although the stones here are radioactive, they are only raw materials after all, the radioactivity will not be so strong, and if you work hard, you will definitely carry simple protective equipment! According to his character, seeing that there are so many rare ores here, it is inevitable that It's to find out!"

Dr. Chen looked at Ning Zhe seriously: "I now have enough reasons to believe that ~www.readwn.com~ there will be more radioactive elements in the depths of this canyon, and perhaps even the air inside is poisonous. , we must be prepared to take precautions!"

Ning Zhe nodded and said, "That is to say, the radiation here is not enough to kill, is it?"

Dr. Chen responded: "So far, it doesn't have any impact, otherwise Zhou Gong would not rush in and die. As for what it looks like inside, we can only know by looking at it."

Ning Zhe quickly made a decision: "In this case, let's replace the protective equipment and let the troops behind them follow up as originally planned. If the situation inside is really not suitable for them to follow up, let's find a way!"

Because too toxic and radioactive ore appeared in the canyon, the travel was forced to slow down.

While others were alert, Ning Zhe was thinking about another thing.

Dr. Chen just said that copper-uranium mica can be used to extract uranium, and since he proposed this idea, it means that he probably knows the extraction method.

If this is the case, does it mean that Professor Yan and others actually know something about the nuclear weapon that Qu Xiangran coveted?
