The earth is composed of multiple hollow spheres nested together in different layers.
The first person to propose this theory was the hypothesis put forward by the astronomer Simon Halley in 1692 who discovered Halley's Comet. It was based on the fact that the earth has multiple magnetic fields and their intensity and position are constantly changing. Therefore, it is believed that different magnetic fields are different.
It is produced by hollow spheres with different layers, rotating at different angular speeds, and colliding from time to time, resulting in geological activities such as volcanoes and earthquakes.
It has been hundreds of years since this theory was proposed in an unknown mental state. People who support this hypothesis are speculating and demonstrating in succession. The most widely circulated theory so far is that on the earth
There are huge and hidden caves at the north and south poles of the world. Through these caves, you can enter the underground world. There is even a world under the underground world, which is still connected by the caves.
According to this view, the hollow spheres that make up the earth are like candied haws, strung together by the stick of "tunnel".
Such an outrageous theory has supporters in every era. The most famous one is the polar bear physicist. He may have played with matryoshka dolls too much since he was a child. He feels friendly when he sees hollow balls inside hollow balls, so he highly respects this theory.
theory, and even came up with a self-justifying 'corollary':
When the earth was first formed, it was a huge mass of ice floating in the universe. Under the influence of the sun and various cosmic rays, it heated up and turned into a lava state. After the temperature reached a certain level, the surface cooled and formed a hard rock.
rock layer, but the lava beneath the rock layer still remains in a boiling state.
When magma is heated, it will expand and form gas, which will spread towards the ground. After hundreds of millions of years of expansion and diffusion, the earth will have a huge empty shell, and the main outlet for the large-scale diffusion of gases emitted by lava is
At the North and South Poles, as long as you find a huge hole, you can reach the underground world.
How to say?
This hypothesis is still a hypothesis, and fewer and fewer people agree with it, but more and more people entertain it.
It provides excellent materials for people from all walks of life.
Those who can talk will package this theory into a myth, then create a sect and proclaim themselves the leader;
Those who can write write this theory into novels, publish them into literary works, and some even become popular and become famous books;
Those who know how to film will make this theory into a movie and use the Hollow Earth gimmick to harvest box office;
meeting...
In short, there are not many people who support this hypothesis, but it does not stop everyone from using these "unbelievable" gimmicks to make money.
But now, in the Triton J2, which is full of science and technology, Fujikura, who has studied science for 10 or 20 years, mentioned this magical theory very seriously, and it didn't seem like he was joking.
"...0.0"
After Dagu heard this, he was completely confused. If it wasn't the first time they met, he would have wanted to suggest that the other party should see a psychiatrist to relax his body and mind. After all, he had been in a claustrophobic space for a long time.
It will have some impact on the body and mind.
"So..." Chiba Cheng calmed down his "excited" mood and tried to appear calm and calm, and said: "Do you think the monster went to the world below through these hollow holes?"
Unexpectedly, Fujikura, who proposed this statement, smiled and waved his hand, saying: "This is just a good guess. Even if there is space under the earth's crust, the total proportion will not be too large.
However, when the earth was first formed, it was indeed a 'fireball'. The surface temperature was so high and filled with hot magma that it required a heavy rainstorm that lasted for millions of years to cool it down before it reached the suitable temperature it has today.
"
"I know," Feiniao raised his hand and said impatiently: "It seems to be called... Carney... Ni..."
Koda Toshiyuki on the side reminded: "Carnian flood event."
"Ah, yes, that's it."
"That's not it," Fujikura shook his head and said, "The Carnian flood event refers to the mass extinction event that occurred 233 million years ago, rather than a heavy rainstorm that lasted more than two million years.
According to various studies and geological surveys, the climate during this period was an extremely humid period, with frequent rainfall and snowfall, and frequent extreme climates, which led to drastic changes in the earth's environment, making many organisms unable to adapt to the environment and becoming extinct."
Koda Toshiyuki added: "To put it in layman's terms, on the earth during that period, rain lasted for a long time. It was not measured in days, but in years."
Fujikura nodded slightly and continued: "What I am talking about is the heavy rain that occurred at the beginning of the formation of the earth, more than three billion years ago. Because the time span is too long, no geological evidence has been found to confirm it, but the earth must be
It has experienced a cooling down.
When a substance cools down, the temperature is easily uneven, leading to cracking. Well, just like throwing hot iron into ice water, the surface and interior are prone to cracking."
"I know, it's thermal expansion and contraction." Feiniao answered directly this time, because he really knew. After all, he had just reviewed it not long ago and witnessed Diga using this theory to defeat the volcano lava monster.
He was on guard, and then easily destroyed the monster.
"Yes, so there are definitely gaps between the strata, but compared to the thickness of the strata, these gaps are very insignificant. Coupled with the interference of the earth's magnetic field, according to the current technology, it is difficult to accurately find these gaps.
There is a gap, but..." Fujikura changed the subject and said solemnly: "Human beings can't find it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just like only locals who have lived for a long time will know which paths and shortcuts."
"So, the local monster, ah, no, the local monster, moves through these holes, and when it disappears in an instant, it goes into the holes." Dagu finally understood what Fujikura meant.
To put it bluntly, the monster is familiar with the road, knows where the hole is and where it leads, so it can retreat into the hole and leave the moment it is observed.
Naturally, the slow-moving submarine cannot catch up and cannot be found.
As for why the big hole that the monster crawled into was not found, we can only say that the entrance is hidden, the seabed topography is complex, and the submarine's sonar is not a sonar used for professional mapping.
Just like telescopes and sniper scopes, although they can both be used to see from a distance, their professionalism is completely different.
"So there really is a monster."
Koda Toshiyuki looked very bad. The monster was more than a thousand meters long. Just its length made people feel extremely terrifying.
What kind of deep-sea behemoth is probably not qualified to be a parasite in the face of such a length.
And such a monster can still move in the deep sea. I am afraid that a flick of its tail can stir up "turbulent waves"-level currents, and its destructive power will definitely not be low.
In other words, the seabed is the territory of this monster, and it is very disadvantageous for humans, and it is not even very beneficial for Ultraman.
After all, Ultraman, both in appearance and habits, is a land creature.
Captain Chiba spends ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the time not in the water, and this includes bathing time.
Otherwise...
"No matter what, it's always better to be cautious."
Fujikura is the one who least wants monsters to appear. This Triton J2 is not only his brainchild, but also the dream of hundreds of staff.
Everyone sticks to this submarine base and works tirelessly, not only for the high subsidies, but also for the love of the ocean. Otherwise, such a cramped and claustrophobic space without enthusiasm would be very difficult to persevere.
It's hard to stay for a long time.
Not to mention, once attacked by a monster, everyone here may not be able to escape misfortune.
Never allow this to happen.
Fujikura, regardless of whether it was a radar malfunction or something else, he would treat it like a monster.
Don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens.
Therefore, while arranging for maintenance of the submarine, he was also dispatching professional surveying and mapping boats to the area where the 'thousand-meter behemoth' was discovered to conduct detailed seabed surveying and mapping down to the meter level.
This is not a 'whim', but a job that has been planned for a long time.
One of the research tasks of Triton J2 is to conduct topographic mapping of the seafloor. The first phase plan is to complete detailed surveying and mapping of the R sea area, and the second phase is to complete the topographic mapping of the Central Pacific region, and at the same time start a survey of the Mariana Trench
detection, and ultimately complete the surveying and mapping of the global seafloor, allowing humans to have a "clear understanding" of the seafloor topography.
As for the time of the final mission, there are no detailed regulations. After all, it takes 11 years to cover a range of 360 million square kilometers, one kilometer per second, not to mention the large span and the complexity of the terrain. It is not a simple task.
A simple matter requires long-term and detailed planning.
Anyway, Fujikura never thought that he could see the completion of this task before he closed his eyes. It would be longer than his lifetime. It is normal for this task to be passed down to three generations. In a sense, it can be regarded as a 'family heirloom'.
No, it's better than a family heirloom. After all, the treasure will be a waste of money, but the work is a continuous output of energy.
When several people walked to the main control center, J2 belonging to Triton was also ready to set off.
It has the same big marlin shape as the Victory submarine, especially the high-power lighting at the front, which really looks like a raised dead fish eye. Coupled with the sea blue paint, even if you look closely,
That's exactly the same as a big marlin.
It's just that the mechanical arms on both sides of the submarine stretch forward, and heavy-looking instruments are installed at the end, making the shape of the submarine more like a swimming crab or a lobster. In short, it is full of elements of marine life.
At first glance, it looks like something from the sea.
Chiba Makoto just glanced at the shape and started to care about other things, asking: "Are there any weapons and equipment on it?"
The Victory Submarine of the Super Victory Team is not only equipped with energy weapons, high-energy lasers, but also missile-type torpedoes - shark-breaking torpedoes, which are very powerful and are specially designed to deal with marine monsters.
And where this special surveying and mapping boat is going, there is likely to be a thousand-meter giant beast.
"...No." Fujikura shook his head, and then explained: "Because a lot of professional equipment has been installed, there is no space to carry weapons."
The chaos that has been passed down from generation to generation is probably also a product of those two years. Otherwise, even if there is no space inside, you can still find a way to install some defensive weapons on the outside.
If it is a traditional submarine, of course it will not work.
But who allowed TPC to have a "black technology" pressure shield? A whole type of energy barrier that completely subverts the traditional thickness. Naturally, it can be installed however you want.
What a pity!!!
"Then you have to be more careful."
Dagu immediately became worried. Even though the Victory Submarine was thirty-four meters long, in front of a thousand-meter giant beast, little Karami would be injured or killed if hit.
"Why don't we go escort it," Feiniao rolled his eyes and thought of an idea, saying: "The Victory Submarine is still parked, so why not follow it so that if anything happens, we can provide timely assistance."
"You want to pilot the Victory Submarine?" Koda Toshiyuki saw through Asuka's little thoughts at a glance.
Ever since he learned how to drive a submarine, this guy has set his sights on TPC's most powerful Victory submarine. He proposed more than once that he wanted to try driving a Victory submarine, but was rejected by Toshiyuki Koda.
Ordinary submarines are just fine. Victory submarines are equipped with weapons. If something goes wrong, it will be a million troubles.
"hey-hey!"
Asuka laughed playfully, not embarrassed at all, and even started to discuss with Koda Toshiyuki whether he could let him drive for a while after arriving at the place. Anyway, in such a big ocean, you can't hit anything else with your eyes closed.
The chirping birds left, and the main control room finally returned to the quietness it deserved. Dagu looked at the departing surveying boat on the screen and said worriedly: "What should we do if we find a monster?"
This is not on land. If a monster is discovered, thousands of troops can be mobilized. The depth of more than 6,000 meters on the seabed is enough to render 90% of TPC's current equipment ineffective.
Even the GW-01I Jade Fish developed by the South Pacific Division, which used a pressure-resistant sealed cockpit, could dive to a depth of 800 meters, and was completely destroyed in the black mist without being rebuilt.
Another reason is that Triton J2 is so close, the impact of the big explosion will be transmitted very far in the water, and it will definitely affect Triton J2.
It's like throwing a firecracker in the water, the explosion is much more powerful than in the air.
Once an attack is launched against a monster, the impact is much greater than a firecracker. But instead of destroying the monster, it destroys the Triton J2.
"...Even the worst case scenario is better than sitting idle and waiting to die." Fujikura was silent for a moment and then said resolutely. Apparently he felt that even if we die together, it would be better than watching Triton J2 being killed.
The monster is ruined well.
"Hope... everything will be fine."
Chiba Cheng watched the two submarines setting off on the screen, turning on their thrusters and heading towards the R8 sea area.
Before the ship arrived, the detector was fully activated, scanning the seafloor meticulously, not missing any clues.
A professional is a professional. Dagu drove the submarine back and forth several times but found nothing. However, with professional equipment, he found more than one trace after going over.
