In the end, the military did not dare to take the risk. They chose a more time-consuming method.
This method was relatively gentle. It was to use a disposable detector to dive down to the limit without retrieving it.
It would conduct sonar detection in the deep sea and send back the information through strong electromagnetic waves.
However, this error would be very large. There were too many interference items at the bottom of the sea and there would be no accurate data sent back.
However, this was enough. At least the sapphire itself was very large. Even if it was not accurate, it was enough to find it. Being able to find its location was considered a success.
The hidden trench in Bermuda was more than 200 kilometers deep. This information was originally hidden by CANC on Earth. However, there was no CANC in this world, so scientists had long known of its existence. However, due to technical problems, they had never been able to explore the bottom well.
Thirty expensive detectors were lowered into the water and quickly dived towards the bottom of the sea.
However, Hawking still said that this was too slow. It would take at least 20 hours for the detectors to reach their destination. These 20 hours might decide the fate of mankind.
He was famous for his alarmist talk, but this time, many scientists supported him because the problem of facing aliens was indeed related to the fate of mankind.
Hawking had always advocated not to send information to the universe and not to look for aliens. He often predicted that mankind was courting death.
However, the US military had already attacked the unidentified flying object due to carelessness. In that case, what was the point of throwing another nuclear bomb? In his eyes, mankind had no way out. They must be decisive to the end and put away their cowardly hesitation!
Come to think of it, the US higher-ups had indeed lost some courage. They had already fought, but after the fight, they suspected that it might be aliens. Now, they did not dare to fight, but they had already offended those who needed to be offended …
No matter how anxious the scientists were, it did not affect Lan Mu.
At this moment, he came to the bottom of the sea and found the Pyramid of Doom.
Just like the previous two worlds, he stayed quietly at the bottom of the sea, suspended in the water and motionless.
"Accelerated particle cannon!"
Lan Mu changed his shape at will and assembled himself into a cross-shaped existence. The core was exposed and fired its own attack method.
In contrast to the charged particle cannon, which had charged particle clusters, this was a neutral particle cannon, in which the particle clusters were not charged. Since the ammunition was made of neutral particles, there was no problem of deflection due to the influence of the magnetic field, and there was no problem of mutual repulsion like charged particle cannons. The diffusion effect that decreased the power with distance was also almost non-existent.
Whether it was at the bottom of the sea, in magma, or in space, even tens of thousands of kilometers away, it could still cause heavy damage.
The principle of the Neutral Particle Cannon was to use the method of accelerating atoms to create neutral particles, such as neutrons and photons, and then gather them into a high-energy directional beam that was emitted at sub-light speed to destroy or disable the target.
As for Apostle Ramier's accelerated particle cannon, it was different. At the same time, it carried an extremely high amount of heat, similar to a plasma cannon.
However, its fault tolerance was extremely high, and its attack range was much further than that of the plasma cannon, so its destructive range was slightly smaller.
There was no doubt that such a weapon could easily destroy the hardiest alloy developed by mankind today. It could directly melt and destroy it. Its power was astonishing.
Of course, the effect of destroying the terrain and killing the crowd was definitely not as good as nuclear bombs and plasma cannons, but it was a perfect match for testing the resistance of the pyramid.
"Chi chi …"
A large amount of seawater was instantly evaporated, and the water vapor of hundreds to thousands of degrees rapidly expanded, triggering an explosion at the bottom of the sea. The high-energy particle stream struck the pyramid, releasing dazzling light. Lan Mu gathered energy for a full 30 seconds, and then released it for another 30 seconds.
A minute later, the surrounding seawater produced a large whirlpool, as well as all kinds of chaotic torrents.
The bottom of the sea was stirred up into a ball of filth, and a large number of marine creatures died.
Even so, the pyramid was still as stable as Mount Tai, not damaged at all.
"They actually treat me as an alien, but this is normal. If it wasn't for the fact that we can't communicate, I would really want to admit this."
While attacking, Lan Mu was also paying attention to the top of his head. He saw more and more ships coming to the nearby sea area, and they were relatively scattered in order to be able to escape at any time.
However, the method of detection was not spiritual energy, but the AT Force Field. As more and more of its wondrous uses were discovered, within the absolute domain, nothing could be hidden from him.
Remy could use the concentrated AT Force Field, and Lan Mu's originally huge spiritual energy had all turned into soul field matter at this time. If he wanted to achieve a scan, he could only concentrate and extend the soul field matter, like an invisible long matrix that directly reached the sea surface and wrapped a certain ship into the domain.
This could achieve a scanning function similar to reading to obtain information, but Lan Mu could not perform a spiritual link, because the AT Force Field was not spiritual energy, and the result of connecting to the soul was very likely to directly kill him.
"Hawking, I have one on Earth too, and his method is actually quite good. By measuring the radiation background, it can indeed detect the situation at the bottom of the sea. Unfortunately, he doesn't know that there is a Doomsday Pyramid at the bottom of the sea. If his nuclear pollution triggers the apocalypse, don't blame it on me … "
Lan Mu secretly laughed, and suddenly thought about the problem of five times the energy level.
"Since the pyramid has not been activated, this world has always been peaceful, and there is no real technological explosion. Previously, I also roughly checked that this world does not have black technology, so where did the five times the energy level of this world come from?"
Lan Mu, who was thinking hard, did not care about the detector. On the contrary, he hoped that humans would discover the existence of the pyramid. After that, he would reveal the pyramid's ability to remind humans to quickly enter space and not delay on their home planet.
When the detector sent a signal, he deliberately did not destroy it.
The information was sent to the surface of the sea, and after being weakened and affected by many obstacles, scientists could only see a few large objects at the bottom of the sea.
"This octahedron is the flying object from before … But what is this tetrahedron? A triangular pyramid? "
This world also had the so-called Amon interference, so Egypt also built pyramids. Of course, the shape of the Doomsday Pyramid was actually different from the one built by ancient Egypt. Because Nalmai only gave the Egyptians a profile image, the Egyptians, according to their architectural habits, built a pentahedron pyramid, not knowing that the one in the image was actually a triangular pyramid looking down.
"This must be the base of the aliens at the bottom of the sea!"
"No, no, it could also be a new flying object being produced!"
In the eyes of scientists, the octahedron flying object happened to be the shape of two pyramids combined into one, so they had reason to believe that the pyramid at the bottom of the sea definitely had a close relationship with the unidentified flying object.
In addition, the flying object directly came to this place at the bottom of the sea under the fierce attack of the military. Did this not prove that this was his stronghold or a place to stay?
Although for the time being, Lan Mu had been motionless at the bottom of the sea and did not have the intention to do anything big.
But invisible panic and imagination about the aliens continued to reverberate in the hearts of the leaders of various countries.
Now, almost all the major countries in the world were focusing their attention on this place. Everyone was trying to find something from the little information returned by the detector.
Every time a new piece of information was sent back, it was immediately disseminated to the world's top scientific research centers for analysis. This matter had almost become a matter of the fate of mankind.
But there was too little information. So far, the most useful information they had received was that the aircraft had a powerful offensive weapon.
Yes, through the vague information from the detector, they still found a powerful high-energy reaction on the bottom of the sea and intense whirlpools.
The ships on the sea also found huge bubbles emerging from the bottom of the sea, which must be caused by the high-energy attack that instantly evaporated the sea water.
This news frightened all the countries. The offensive weapons possessed by the aliens were far more powerful than theirs. They could only imagine plasma energy weapons or high-energy particle streams to be able to erupt with such power at the bottom of the sea. Other weapons were either too weak or easily weakened by the sea water. However, no matter which one it was, it was far beyond their scientific level. It was simply a weapon of science fiction.
Countries urgently discussed this incident, and their attitudes became more and more serious and dignified.
Thirty-three hours after the octahedron unidentified flying object appeared, countries temporarily established the Global Defense Council. It was necessary to urgently come up with a charter to deal with a powerful enemy.
Now, Hawking's conjecture was confirmed step by step. Whether the other party was an alien or something else, in short, it was definitely not one of them.
Because the danger level of the target continued to rise, the global preparedness began to quietly mobilize in the dark. The leaders of many countries on the council had already regarded it as an enemy.
The main opponent was the United States, because they were also the ones who attacked Sapphire. Would the other party not retaliate? This was obviously impossible. The United States believed that if someone attacked them, they would definitely retaliate.
In the case of judging others by their own standards, they felt that the other party would definitely retaliate.
"… The target has an absolute domain-like defense and a weapon that only exists in science fiction. It can be completely used in interstellar warfare."
"If it retaliates, how many deployments do we need to prepare? What are the chances of winning? "
"The chances of winning are less than 30%. Our only advantage is our numbers. There is only one target. As long as it continues to produce new combat units at the bottom of the sea, we can use countless weapons to exhaust it."
"In the face of absolute defense, all our weapons are useless. How can we exhaust it?"
"No matter how powerful the protective shield is, it will definitely consume energy. The more powerful it is, the greater the consumption. As the war proceeds, its defensive power may decline due to excessive consumption, or even directly shut down. When we attacked it before, we received information that under the full-power laser weapon, we saw a visible 'golden arc' barrier. This means that the attack at that time almost reached the limit of its defense. As long as the power is a little stronger, it may be able to penetrate the shield. "
"Good! In that case, we should unite the forces of the world, carry out combat deployments in the Atlantic, and prepare for a successful war! "
The United States proposed this to the council, but many countries were very dissatisfied with this decision.
The European side said, "Why do we have to think in the worst direction? Perhaps the other party came here with friendly intentions. Have you ever thought about the consequences of losing to a completely unknown enemy? "
The United States retorted, "This concerns the fate of mankind. If we don't think in the worst direction, do we have to hold on to fairytale idealism? Yes, we can't rule out the possibility that they came with friendly intentions. However, so far, the other party has not sent us a single message. Even if it's a message that we don't understand, there is not a single one! "
"During this period, they have been hiding at the bottom of the sea. We have sent tens of thousands of friendly greetings to them, but they have not replied to a single one. This absolute indifference and disregard makes us have to prepare for the worst. I would rather we let the aliens down than let them let us down!"
In the end, the Global Defense Council approved the United States' proposal.
