Chapter 13 Chapter Eleven: Lao Yang's Death

"Everything will pass. All you have to do is wait for the shock to calm down." Lao Yang said. Cao Cang said: "Don't you think it's strange? According to what you said, this experiment is a physical experiment about space, but among the twelve of us, none of them are physicists." "There is one." Old Yang said, "Luo Yang." This explanation is unsatisfactory. Lao Luo is a scientist engaged in electromagnetic mechanics, but this experiment involves far more than simple electromagnetic shielding.To be precise, this is the domain of theoretical physics.

"Humanity's current technology should not be able to realize this experiment. Not even the United States." "Yes, the Americans must have consumed a huge amount of energy for this experiment, but they still rely on natural energy to enter this space." I saw the document here, followed the details explained in it, and started to imagine.It seems that the collective death of fish is also related to the shock of space.The fishing ground that Ximei mentioned was supposed to be an area where countless fresh fish forage for food, mate and reproduce, but a large number of them died due to the influence of space disorder.Just like the incidents of whales washing up on the beach and dying often in the world, human beings have always taken this phenomenon for granted that the whales are committing suicide. It was not until modern times that they realized that this is actually the reason why the whales’ own induction to the magnetic field has changed.

This kind of spatial disorder in the document may often occur in the world, and human science and technology have never been able to detect it accurately.However, after the Industrial Revolution, science and technology developed rapidly. It is very possible that the United States and China have been able to grasp some of the obvious temporal and spatial disturbances, so they can't wait to explore and conduct experiments. The sea area that entered the experiment is the well-known Bermuda Triangle. Since the age of great navigation, ship disappearances have often occurred here. If what Lao Yang said is true, it is easy to explain. Bermuda is actually an area where space-time disorders frequently occur.And this kind of place is not limited to Bermuda, China also has - Lop Nur.

Lop Nur was originally a huge lake with lush water and grass. It used to be an important position on the Silk Road.It is recorded in history that many ancient countries in the Western Regions were established on the original site of Lop Nur.The country conducted a nuclear bomb test in Lop Nur in the 1960s, which probably caused the space disorder in this place. I thought for a while, and then I had a whim: the country chose Lop Nur for nuclear bomb tests, perhaps because of some reasons in the Lop Nur area itself. It is very difficult for me to get in touch with Vest now. He basically doesn't chat with me online except for occasionally sending me documents.Otherwise, I would like to discuss this aspect with him.

The documentation continues: The scientific research ship finally sailed out of this sea of ​​death.There are no more layers of fish carcasses on the sea, and the air has become fresh. The people on the boat saw countless large fish, and they all went to the sea area where the fish died.These large fish, because of their huge size, will cause the water surface to fluctuate when they swim quickly under the sea surface, which is very obvious from the boat. A few days passed, and no one disappeared, and everyone no longer worried about the phenomenon of the disappearance of the human body. Cao Cang always felt that things would not be so simple. Maybe Lao Yang was right about the space shock, but there were still many things he didn't say.For example, why was Ximei so calm when she disappeared for the first time.The Americans were not alarmed at all.But Lao Song lost his composure about this, and sister Zhou's sudden frenzy.Also, why wasn't he affected by this shock...

Cao Cang suddenly thought of a question, maybe everyone saw something different after disappearing, which led to different reactions from everyone.The Americans must have used some method to minimize the impact of the shock on the human body.Lao Song must have seen the same environment in Lop Nur back then, so he instinctively remembered what he had done back then. Cao Cang intends to ask Ximei alone what she saw when she disappeared.But Cao Cang had no chance to be alone with Xi Mei again, and Xi Mei began to point out the direction of Lao Yang.She didn't care whether Lao Yang listened to her, nor did she argue with Lao Yang or Joseph.

Cao Cang took the time to ask Lao Yang, "Where are you going?" "Now I can be sure that this experiment is not some kind of magnetic shielding." Lao Yang replied, "Where do you think we are looking?" Cao Cang thought for a while, and said to Lao Yang: "Land, sailing on the sea, of course you want to find land." Now there is no shortage of fresh water or food on the scientific research ship.If you can’t find land for a day, you’ll find it for a month; if you can’t find it for a month, you’ll find it for a year… If you never find it, you’ll spend your whole life drifting on the sea.

No wonder Ximei is not nervous at all, this is her original state of life. The air was starting to get stuffy, making it hard to breathe.Sister Zhou said to Lao Yang, "It's going to rain." Sure enough, it didn't take long for the clouds to cover the sky.The iron-black clouds pressed down very low, connecting with the sea level in the distance. The light of the different sea is not strong during the day, but after being covered by clouds, the day is like night, or even darker.If there were no clocks, no one would know when it was night. When everyone was eating together, Sister Zhou suddenly said, "I now roughly understand why it's darker here."

Everyone stopped and listened to Sister Zhou.Lao Yang started to do simultaneous interpretation. "I think that there is very little dust in the atmosphere of this place, and the light is transmitted in the atmosphere. There is not as much dust as in our own world for diffuse reflection, so it is relatively dark here." Sister Zhou's assumption is very reasonable. The sun is brighter than usual during the day, but everyone's sight is not as good as the normal world.The brightness of the stars in the night sky is several grades higher than in the original world, this is also because there is less dust in the atmosphere.

"There is still dust in the atmosphere here, but less." Sister Zhou said, "If there is no dust in the atmosphere, then we can't see anything except where the sun shines." "What's the use of saying this?" Joseph asked Sister Zhou after listening to Lao Yang's report. "This can be inferred to a conclusion," Zhou said, "there is very little land in this sea area, much less than the land in our world, which prevents dust from entering the atmosphere. If it is more extreme, it is possible that this sea area may not There is no land, and the dust in the sky comes from some volcanic eruptions. This can also explain the phenomenon that sea water is not salty. The sea water in our world is bitter because the salt on the land has been washed into the ocean by water for hundreds of millions of years. If there is no land, the salt remains in the rocks of the seafloor and of course does not flow into the ocean."

Everyone agrees with this inference, and only one person opposes it.Ximei said, "There must be land, I know where it is." "We have sailed in the direction you said." Lao Yang said, "But after so many days, where is the land?" "What are you in a hurry for?" Ximei said casually, "My ancestors groped the sea for several generations before they found this piece of land. It's only been a few days, and you're getting impatient." After hearing Ximei's words, Cao Cang was not as surprised as the others. There was another person who was also very calm, and Lao Yang was also calm. Joshua hurriedly said to Lao Yang: "Has her ancestors been here? How is it possible, she must be lying." "I think you should trust her." Lao Yang replied, "There is only one reason. She was able to sit on our boat, not by lying." The current magnetic poles are different from the past, and the direction can only be determined according to the rising and falling of the sun and the orientation of the constellations.Everyone's biological clock is changing, and the sleep time is also beginning to be disordered. Everyone has different degrees of insomnia. Now the clouds cover the sky, and there is no light at all.The rain never came down.The clouds were still low as if pressing overhead. There is no reference at all for the direction of the scientific research ship.But Lao Yang didn't stop the boat. In this oppressive environment, the boat could only keep moving forward, at least giving people hope.If the ship is no longer in use, the people on board may have a mental breakdown. Cao Cang has never been so eager for light.In the dark environment, everyone began to become restless. The current light only comes from the searchlights on the scientific research ship. Outside the range of the lights, there is boundless darkness.The temperature also dropped sharply and became colder. Lao Song began to scold his mother.Americans also began to look nervously at the sky and the distance, hoping to see some light. Human instinct is to pursue the light, which is the commonality of all creatures.Light means being able to receive information and gain warmth. In this environment, everyone's most basic biological instincts are undoubtedly revealed. When everyone saw a blurred light in the distance, they all cheered.Lao Yang couldn't help asking Allen to increase the speed of the boat and drive towards the light. The bright place ahead should be the edge of the cloud cover. After the boat sailed for two hours, the light was still blurred, but the color was gradually distinguishable. It was not an incandescent light, but a dark red image. "The clouds are too thick. This should be the light projected by the sun in the clouds." Sister Zhou's professional knowledge has now begun to play a role. Everyone gathered at the bow of the ship, watching the dark red light in the distance getting closer. The light became clearer and clearer, no longer connected together, but gradually separated, and when they got closer, it was no longer a dark red color. The color of the light was much softer, similar to the color between rose red and orange.The light is very quiet, not glaring at all, soft and soft, it seems to make people feel peaceful. The ship's engine suddenly shut down.Joey and Carlin shouted in the direction of the engine room: "Alan, what's the matter with you, fix the machine quickly." "The machine is fine." Alan's voice came out, "Mr. Yang told me to stop." Everyone ran to the captain's room and questioned Lao Yang why he did this.Lao Yang couldn't give an explanation, but said: "I think we should stop and talk about it later." "Why?" Everyone became irritable, the light was not far ahead, but Lao Yang stopped at this moment.Cao Cang vaguely felt that Lao Yang had his reasons for doing so. With the insistence of everyone, Allen restarted the turbine, and the scientific research ship continued to move towards the light.Everyone wants to leave this sea area shrouded in clouds too much. Finally, the ship was only a few kilometers away from the light.Now everyone can see clearly that this soft and alluring light does not come from above the clouds.It is still completely covered by clouds.These lights come from above the sea and mid-air.The light in mid-air is soft orange, shining on the person's body, making people feel indescribably comfortable.This light has heat, not dark light.The light under the sea surface is much darker, because it is refracted by the sea water, revealing a dark purple-red shimmer, which is even more dazzling under the slight rippling waves of the sea surface. Infected by this strange light, everyone calmed down and enjoyed the beautiful scenery quietly, forgetting everything around them for a while.Even Cao Cang, who was always nervous, forgot to think about his purpose of participating in this experiment, and immersed himself in this warm, quiet and gorgeous light with all his heart. Everyone was immersed in the joy brought by the light, and no one made a sound, as if speaking would break the light. Suddenly, Cao Cang's heart throbbed. This feeling was not the result of thinking and analysis, but just a kind of intuition. It was an intuition that can only be possessed by a person who has experienced countless battles and crawled out of the pile of corpses countless times. Danger. Cao Cang calmed down and tried his best to get rid of the dizzy pleasure brought by the soft light.He grabbed his hair, pulled it hard, and blinked hard. When his eyes were opened again, Cao Cang found that these refreshing lights had surrounded the scientific research ship since he did not know when.The scientific research ship has completely sailed into this bright sea, right in the center of the light. Cao Cang carefully observed the source of the light, resisting the urge to be seduced by the light, and stared at the light.After a few seconds, Cao Cang finally saw the clue.At the lower end of the light, there is a long black thing, if you don't observe very carefully, you can't see it at all. Cao Cang looked down the strip, the more he looked, the colder he felt, the strip protruded from the bottom of the sea.The fear in Cao Cang made him completely get rid of the temptation of the light, and he began to observe the sea surface more carefully. There is also light under the sea surface, but it is clearer than the sea surface.Cao Cang saw the bottom of the strip, which was a huge black shadow.There are shadows shaking faintly on the bottom of the bottom of the sea, where the purple light glows under the sea surface. "Don't look!" Cao Cang shouted to everyone. No one paid any attention to Cao Cang, their faces all showed obsessive expressions, and they couldn't hear the sound at all. Cao Cang rushed to Kalin's side and shook Kalin.But Karin didn't respond at all, just stared blankly at the light in the sky, and murmured: "It's so beautiful, so beautiful..." Cao Cang knew that the current situation was definitely very bad.What's worse is that there is absolutely no way to change it.Cao Cang quickly ran to the captain's room.Lao Yang was also staring at the surface of the sea. Cao Cang was about to speak, but Lao Yang spoke first: "You and I found out too late." "You see it too?" Cao Cang asked. "How can there be such a good thing, do whatever you want." Lao Yang said, "In the deployment of tactics, there is one trick that is to do what you like, please enter the urn. You should know." Cao Cang was stunned for a while, then asked, "What do you mean?" Lao Yang shook his head and smiled helplessly. This veteran navy captain, who had experienced many battles, discovered the danger earlier than Cao Cang, but after all he did not resist the temptation and entered an ambush.This cannot be blamed on him, because it comes from the instinctive pursuit of light and heat by living things, as long as they are living things, they cannot resist this temptation.Just like a drug addict, even if he knows that taking drugs will lead him to death, he still can't help but continue. "These guys," Lao Yang said, "are much harder to deal with than the jellyfish and catfish in front. They have IQ—the IQ of hunting." Cao Cang's worries were fully confirmed. "If my guess is correct." Lao Yang continued, "They are about to move..." Before Lao Yang finished speaking, all the lights were extinguished. The darkness is like ink, filling all the spaces. Fear, like darkness, comes with it, everywhere. Threats, threats everywhere, no direction, nowhere to run. "Turn on the light." Cao Cang said, "When did you turn off the light?" "It can't be opened." Lao Yang replied softly in the dark, "Don't you know such basic common sense?" Cao Cang couldn't see Lao Yang's face, but Lao Yang's tone hinted at Cao Cang, and this was the second time he had hinted.When fighting in the dark, exposing oneself is undoubtedly suicide.This is the most basic combat common sense.Cao Cang realized that Lao Yang might know his true identity. The people at the bow were all shouting anxiously, they desperately hoped that the seductive light would appear again. Lao Yang took Cao Cang and ran towards the bow of the boat quickly. "Stop them!" Lao Yang explained to Cao Cang in the dark. "What are they going to do?" "They have been bewildered by those weird lights and have completely lost their minds. Now that the lights disappear, what do you think they will do when the lights appear again?" Cao Cang understood that Lao Yang was analyzing the problem completely according to the laws of war , rather than knowing anything about the creature. When they reached the bow, Lao Yang and Cao Cang shouted loudly in the dark: "Everyone, close your eyes, close your eyes." "What's the use of closing it!" Lao Song shouted, "with our eyes open, we can't see anything." "That light is dangerous." Lao Yang shouted, and then repeated in English. One or two meters in front of the bow, the faint light appeared again, but only a small group, instead of countless groups of light appearing at the same time as before.Now it can be clearly seen that this ball of light is in the shape of a sphere with a diameter of one meter. Lao Yang's judgment on the situation was completely accurate.Under the dim light, Cao Cang saw that everyone had already climbed onto the railing, waving their hands in the air, trying to touch the lantern-like light.The look on everyone's face was complete obsession. A lantern-like light slowly approached the bow of the ship. The bewildered crowd got excited and climbed over the railing, holding onto the railing with one hand, while still waving the other hand in the air.The light approached the bow understandingly, but when it reached a distance of two or three meters, it stagnated and only swayed slightly in the air. Cao Cang also walked to the bow, but instead of looking at the light, he looked at the sea below the bow. The light is brighter now.Cao Cang vaguely saw the situation below the sea surface: a black shadow five or six meters long was firmly parked under the sea surface at the bow of the ship.This black shadow is the body that emits a seductive light.Its tail reaches above the water's surface to lure prey. Joey is ready to jump to the light.Under the sea water, there is a huge fish mouth waiting for him.Cao Cang could already imagine Joey's ending. Cao Cang walked up behind Joey and hugged Joey tightly. Joey struggled, trying to get rid of Cao Cang.Cao Cang found helplessly that other people were also eager to jump to the light. Lao Yang fired, and he fired three or four consecutive shots at the light.The light suddenly went out. Everyone returned to darkness.But this time, there was no silence in the darkness.The water on the surface of the sea was churning, and the sea water splashed on everyone. Everyone was awakened suddenly by the gunshots, and they all realized the danger. In the darkness, after a moment of silence, Carlin spoke: "Mr. Yang, is this a fish that uses light to catch its prey?" "I don't know what kind of fish this is," Lao Yang said, "but I know they are dangerous." "Then turn on the searchlight on the ship," Karin said. "It can't be opened." Lao Yang said. Carlin explained: "It should be fine, this kind of fish that uses lights to hunt is very lazy, they will not actively attack their prey. They are used to their prey throwing themselves into the net." The other people also gradually regained their sanity, recalling the situation just now, everyone became afraid, and Sister Zhou said: "It's so dangerous, so dangerous." "You can't turn on the lights." Lao Yang still insisted, "We are still very dangerous." "It can't be done without turning on the lights," Carlin said. "These creatures must be on the surface of the sea. But we don't even know where they are." "What are you arguing about?" Sister Zhou and Lao Song asked in a panic in the dark. "They want to turn on the lights." Lao Yang replied. "That's good." Sister Zhou said quickly. "Hurry up and turn on the light." Lao Song also echoed. Lao Yang said in English: "None of us approve of turning on the lights." The Americans said a few words to each other. "We all decided to turn on the lights." It was Joshua's voice. "No." Lao Yang said, "I have the final say." "Mr. Yang." Joshua said, "You have to understand that the boat belongs to us." Lao Yang couldn't hold on any longer and didn't speak any more. After a while, the lights on the boat came on.The light of the scientific research ship in the dark is very obvious. Strange things happened again, and the light on the sea seemed to be driven by the lights of the scientific research ship, lighting up one after another.But this time it was no longer the alluring dazzling light, but the red color. The crimson light balls, like an invisible hand lighting a candle, one after another... one after another, they lit up one after another, and finally the sea surface was bright red. Now everyone can clearly see the situation on the surface of the sea: countless sea fish are floating below the surface of the sea.The tail of each sea fish is in the shape of a slender strip, with a light cluster at the top.The body of the sea fish is several meters long. Although they cannot be seen clearly, anyone can feel that these sea fish must look ferocious and ferocious. A ball of light is a sea fish.Cao Cang couldn't bear to count the number of light groups, there were too many, Cao Cang estimated there were hundreds of them. Now this light no longer steals people's souls.On the contrary, the crimson light reveals a message: they have a strong attacking intention. Everyone focused on the horrible creatures under the sea, and after a while, Cao Cang discovered that Lao Yang was missing. When Cao Cang found out that Lao Yang was missing, Joshua also found out, and he quickly shouted, "Where is Yang, where is Yang?" At this moment, Cao Cang thought that the shock of space happened again.This time it was Lao Yang's turn. But a few seconds later, Cao Cang overturned this idea.Lao Yang didn't disappear, he just left the research ship now.Cao Cang saw Lao Yang swimming on the sea in front of the bow, and now he has swum tens of meters away. Cao Cang's mind is now confused, and he doesn't understand why Lao Yang wants to go to the sea.It is much safer to stay on a boat than to go to sea.Why did Lao Yang do this? Cao Cang watched Lao Yang swimming among the sea fish, skillfully avoiding the sea fish.These sea fish themselves do not move, and there are still intervals between them.At this time, Cao Cang saw that Lao Yang started to swim back.Lao Yang's swimming speed is very fast, his water skills are quite good, and he swam halfway back very quickly.It seemed that he would be able to return to the scientific research ship soon. Joseph and Joey quickly found a rope on the deck and waited for Lao Yang to swim close to pull him up. At this moment, Lao Yang sank suddenly, and when he floated up again, his hands were shaking wildly on the sea surface, obviously, he was injured. Cao Cang couldn't bear it anymore and jumped off the boat.After Cao Cang sank into the sea, he opened his eyes and saw huge sea fish all around his body.These sea fish have hideous faces, their eyes are very small, and their mouths occupy half of their bodies. They all have half-open mouths, and the upper and lower lips are densely packed with teeth.Cao Cang instinctively kept a distance from the sea fish, and carefully swam towards Lao Yang. Cao Cang slowly shuttled between the gaps of the sea fish. The water flow brought by the swimming swayed to the sea fish's mouth for a second or two before the sea fish closed its mouth suddenly.Cao Cang suddenly understood that these fish were all blind, they couldn't see anything, and their reactions were very slow.This kind of creature concentrates all functions on the tail, while other functions of the body are relatively weakened. Cao Cang became more courageous when he wanted to understand this point.Swim towards Lao Yang more quickly.Lao Yang is still struggling on the surface of the sea and has not sunk. Cao Cang finally swam to Lao Yang's side, and shouted to Lao Yang, "What are you doing in the sea?" Lao Yang panted and said to Cao Cang, "Under water, under water..." Before he knew what was under the water, Cao Cang felt something biting his leg.Cao Cang flashed his body quickly.Now he saw that a fish less than half a meter long was beside him.It was this fish that was attacking him just now. The fish bit Cao Cang again, Cao Cang kicked it hard, and then dragged Lao Yang to swim a few meters away.The very aggressive fish rushed over again, but when it was about to bite Cao Cang, it suddenly couldn't move forward.Cao Cang saw clearly that there was also a strip at the back of this fish, but the top of this strip did not emit light, but was connected to a big fish. Cao Cang and Lao Yang have already left the fish's range of activities.The fish slowly swam back to the big fish, picked up a lump in the water, and fed it into the big fish's mouth.The big fish started to swallow.The small fish slowly sticks to the belly of the big fish to hide. Cao Cang saw Lao Yang covering his waist with one hand, and the color of the sea water near his waist was slightly different.Lao Yang was bleeding. What the small fish fed to the big fish just now must be a certain piece of body on Lao Yang's body. Cao Cang tried his best to avoid the big fish. He knew that when the big fish was completely alarmed, although its own reaction was slow, the small fish parasitic on them would help them hunt. Cao Cang and Lao Yang finally swam to the side of the boat.All the people on the boat pulled them up together. On the deck, everyone carefully observed Lao Yang's injuries and knew that Lao Yang was hopeless.Lao Yang's waist was bloody and his intestines fell out. "Why did you jump into the sea?" Others also asked Lao Yang. Lao Yang really didn't have the energy to talk more, so he waved his hand to signal the others to leave.He said to Cao Cang, "I have something to tell you." The others respected Lao Yang's dying request and all backed away. "You know I'm not the real Cao Cang, don't you?" Cao Cang said. "You are XX Wu." Lao Yang panted, "We won't discuss this issue anymore." "Why did you jump into the sea?" "I want to get in touch with them." Lao Yang said, "They are right there." "Who are they?" "Did you forget that Typhoon-class submarine when you entered the vortex?" "Soviet! How do you know where the submarine is?" "When you were all attracted by the light of the sea fish," Lao Yang said, "I saw them float up. They were also bewitched by these sea fish and gave up their concealment." "Why didn't you invite them over?" "Don't let the Americans know." Lao Yang said, "I have to go, they are likely to attack our scientific research ship. There is something on me that can send out a signal, and someone among them can receive this signal .When he receives this signal, he will know that there are us Chinese on the scientific research ship, so he will not attack us. But the range of the signal emitted by this instrument is limited. I can only get as close to the submarine as possible, and put this instrument close to them... " "So you don't let us turn on the lights." Cao Cang said, "If they want to launch torpedoes, they don't need to look at them at all, just use sonar." "Here, sonar may not work." Lao Yang said, "They must have realized this themselves." "Why did the Soviets attack us?" Cao Cang continued to ask, "Why can't the Americans know that the Soviet submarine is nearby?" "Have you forgotten what your superiors told you before you came here?" Lao Yang said, "This is a war, a war that concerns the continuation of the nation. Don't trust the Americans, even if we are on the same boat, you can't trust them." "Can the Soviets be trusted?" Cao Cang said. "Of course I can't believe it." Lao Yang said, "But if the Soviets are not brought in, we will be completely at a disadvantage in front of the Americans." "It was you who passed the information about this experiment to the Soviets?" Lao Yang said with the last bit of strength: "Remember, you have to contact the Soviets quietly, and you don't trust anyone, including Lao Song and the others." "Sir, what's your name?" "Yang Degong." Lao Yang squeezed out the last few words, and he had no strength to speak anymore, and then lay quietly on the deck, breathing intermittently, and gradually approached death. Cao Cang straightened Lao Yang's clothes and gave a military salute, just like what Lao Yang did to Lao Luo.
