Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

Mentioning this treacherous and unpredictable labyrinth, "War God" Lei Zongchao's facial muscles twitched again.

For a moment, Meng Chao felt that the magnetic field of his life became extremely unstable, and his figure was blurred, as if it was about to split into various possibilities.

Fortunately, he took a deep breath and regained his stability.

"The process of exploring the ancient ruins is somewhat similar to diving into the deep sea. The deeper you dive, the greater the pressure you will bear."

Lei Zongchao calmed down and continued, "In the seabed tens of thousands of meters deep, the weight equivalent to tens of thousands of elephants standing on the tip of a needle can completely crush a main battle tank, and it can withstand the frontal bombardment of rockets." Power armor is as vulnerable as a can.

"In the depths of the ancient ruins, there is also a mental pressure similar to water pressure. The further you go down, the greater the mental pressure, and the mental index plummets every minute, and the spirit collapses.

"Five hundred to one thousand meters underground is the limit that can be explored by current human technology and realm.

"Explorers operating in this area, like divers operating in the deep sea, are called 'deep divers'.

"Deep divers are the most dangerous professions in the entire Dragon City. They are a hundred times more dangerous than hunters who face doomsday beasts. They will encounter indescribable and irresistible mysteries thousands of meters underground at any time.

"What's even more frightening is that after reaching the limit depth, mysterious sounds and fragmented lights and shadows often appear in the minds of deep divers, just like the enchanting singing of a banshee, attracting them to continue to go deeper into the ancient ruins .

"One thousand five hundred meters, two thousand meters, three thousand meters...

"If it is said that activities at 500 meters to 1,000 meters underground, for deep divers, it is a 'near death'.

"Dive deeper into the ground, and you will surely die.

"I once teamed up with a deep diver and explored 800 meters underground in the ancient ruins. As a result, this teammate heard a mysterious call, stumbled, and followed a sloping gap downwards, and went deep into the ground for more than a thousand rice.

"At that time, all the deep divers were dragging soft and tough safety ropes that were refined with spar powder and monster bone powder. When we found our teammates disappeared deep in the ground, we pulled back desperately, and would rather call In the process of dragging him back, his body was covered with cuts and bruises, and he had to save his life.

"However, it was too late.

"By the time we've spent five minutes pulling our teammate back up from the gap, he's turned into a stone."

"What?"

Meng Chao couldn't believe it, "A... stone?"

"To be more precise, it is a stone sculpture that is lifelike and vivid. His facial expressions, body details and even the folds of his clothes are all exactly the same as him. Even the safety rope is bound to him intact."

The corners of Lei Zongchao's eyes twitched, and his voice was chilling, "And his facial expression always stays in the moment of incomparable horror - I have never seen anyone in my life who can show 'fear' so vividly, It makes people dare not even think about what he saw in just a few minutes when he was lost in the depths of the ground."

Meng Chao's brain tingled.

Countless grotesque fragments of light and shadow appeared in front of my eyes.

They are all terrifying projections of gods and demons from other worlds.

He had to admit that compared with otherworldly gods and demons, the so-called "monsters" were really pretty and harmless to humans and animals.

Will the existence in the depths of the ancient ruins be more terrifying than alien gods and demons?

In other words, what kind of relationship exists between the ancient ruins and the alien gods and demons?

"This deep diver is considered lucky. At least, he turned into a stone sculpture in an instant. Except for a moment of fear, he should not have suffered more torture and pain, but other deep divers may not."

Lei Zongchao continued, "Bewitched by the summons in their brains, some deep divers went deep into the cracks in the ground and never returned. No one knows whether they went straight into hell.

"Some deep divers struggled to escape, but their spirits collapsed, they danced wildly all day long, and sang nonsense that no one could understand.

"There are also some deep divers who are healthy on the surface and have a sound mind. They can also pass the spiritual test. The spiritual index has always been stable between 80 and 120, and they have returned to normal human society.

"But no one knows that they have become ticking time bombs, and once they explode, they will become the most terrifying lost persons, possessed by madness, devoid of humanity, and commit appalling murders.

"After countless tragedies, watching countless very outstanding and promising young people have accidents in the process of exploration, we had to tearfully control or even eliminate them, the scientists and the most powerful people in Dragon City It was unanimously concluded that the ancient relics below a thousand meters underground are not things that can be explored and analyzed by today's earth technology. We should seal them up and leave them to wiser and stronger future generations.

"Now, the main exploration and research scope of the Institute of Relics is within 500 meters underground of the ancient relics.

"Even the ancient technology hidden in the shallow underground is not something we can completely digest and absorb in a short while. Many so-called 'black technologies' are in a black box state. We can use and copy them, but we cannot analyze their principles. ——This gap in basic science may take three to five hundred years, astronomical funds, and countless smart minds to make up and catch up.

"Unfortunately, time, money and bright minds are things we are very scarce.

"The current Dragon City is still surrounded by powerful enemies and in a precarious survival crisis. What we need are more practical weapons and cultivation methods that can be used at hand, rather than illusory ancient secrets."

Meng Chao nodded.

For this, he can understand very well.

Even if the sphere of influence is extended to the entire monster mountain range, the resources of Dragon City civilization are still quite scarce. The cake is only this big, if you eat one more piece, I can only eat one less piece.

A little more budget is invested in the research and development of super armored airships, and a little less budget is invested in controllable traversal technology projects.

The research and development of the super armored airship is clear and controllable, as long as a lot of money is spent, it will definitely produce results.

As long as a large number of super armored airships are equipped, they can rush out of the monster mountain range and capture a hundred times the resources for Dragon City, with a very high return on profit.

Therefore, the nine super companies are all willing to invest in the super armored airship project.

However, the uncertainty of the controllable traversal technology is too great, and too many resources are consumed.

Although "shuttle freely between the earth and other worlds" sounds very good, but who knows when the hype will come true?

If the R\u0026D fails, the astronomical budget and resources will be wasted.

It's not just a matter of investors losing money.

It will even lead to the financial collapse of the Survival Committee, delaying the pace of Dragon City's foreign colonization, and missing the once-in-a-lifetime period of strategic opportunities!

Therefore, the Nine Super Enterprises and the Survival Committee have always been lukewarm about the Controllable Traversal Technology project team, and a large part of the funds have to be raised by the project team.

And the controllable traversal technology is already one of all the ancient technologies that humans can understand relatively and has strong practicability.

One bird in hand is worse than two birds in the bush.

Since the current ancient technology has been enough for people on earth to study for a while, and the cost and risk of continuing to explore downwards are unbearably high, temporarily sealing it seems to be the most reasonable choice.

"If you want to enter the ancient ruins to visit and practice, I can guarantee you that you can get a pass with relatively high authority, allowing you to move freely in the shallow underground within three to five hundred meters. After decades of exploration , Our security at this depth is relatively guaranteed.”

Lei Zongchao said, "However, as I said beforehand, the risk factor of going deep into the ancient ruins is extremely high, and every time you go deep into a level, you must undergo relevant tests and training, even if you do this, you can't guarantee 100% safety.

"If strange sounds and pictures really popped up in your mind, attracting you to keep diving deep, and eventually you were entangled by mysterious forces and turned into a half-human monster, then even if you have made countless military exploits, yes The youngest blood badge holder in Dragon City, we will eliminate you without hesitation, and I will even do it myself to give you a good time.

"Understood this, do you still want to go deep into the ancient ruins?"

Meng Chao pondered for a moment.

Xin said, in the depths of my brain, "countless strange sounds and pictures have emerged".

A trip to the ancient ruins is imperative.

It's not that he is not greedy enough to swallow elephants, and wants to comprehend all the mysteries of ancient civilization in an instant.

However, there are two things that must be clarified.

The first is the mystery of his own rebirth.

"Broken Soul Knife" Luo Wu's son Luo Hai once told him that on the eve of the college entrance examination, at noon on the day he returned from the doomsday, there was a big explosion in the research institute of relics under the Transcendent Tower.

It seems that a laboratory and the project team members inside were all blown to pieces.

Meng Chao didn't believe in coincidences.

He believed that as long as the laboratory could be rebuilt, it would be possible to crack the mystery of rebirth.

The second is the "Curse of the Ancients", which is the cross-eye tattoo.

He wondered what the so-called "curse" really was.

After the cross-eye tattoo is implanted on the body, besides awakening the "blood", are there any other side effects?

The way to break the curse, is it true that the cross-eyed implanters will kill each other until the last term?

It is about the safety and happiness of the younger sister Bai Jiacao.

No matter how dangerous it is, he will figure it out!

Thinking of this, Meng Chao nodded heavily.

"Master Lei, thank you for your reminder, but I still want to go deep into the ancient ruins and take a look at this power that has completely changed the face of human civilization."

Meng Chao said seriously, "I will be responsible for my actions and will not cause trouble to anyone."

"I believe in this, Meng Chao."

Lei Zongchao smiled slightly, stretched out a finger, and said, "Then, shall we make a deal?"
