537 a.n.a.lyzing the Spoils of War
Rumble…
This sound was like Pangu splitting the heavens and earth. The first sound was deafening.
Then, visible light waves swept across the entire seabed, and the seawater instantly turned into boiling water.
Countless marine creatures were caught off guard and disappeared without a trace!
Their bodies turned into powder and mixed with the seawater. Their blood and seawater evaporated.
All of a sudden, the wormhole completely disappeared in the terrifying explosion.
The explosions caused by the detonation of the large-scale nuclear bombs were continuous, echoing in the sea five thousand meters deep.
Although the seawater provided an isolation layer for the nuclear bomb explosion, the explosive power of the three large nuclear bombs was still beyond people’s imagination.
Wu Mo was extremely shocked. This was the first time he had witnessed the spectacular scene of three nuclear bombs detonating at the same time!
At this moment, everyone calmed down and focused on the screen.
Everything that was clearly visible on the screen had disappeared, and what replaced it was pure white.
Yes, all the colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—had turned into the original white color.
Terrifying energy raged in the underwater world, as if it wanted to turn everything into nothingness.
All the officers in the base, including the old chief, stood still with their hands behind their backs.
Their faces were expressionless, but their eyes flickered with a strange light. No one knew what they were thinking.
After an unknown amount of time, the crowd seemed to suddenly regain their senses, and they immediately looked at the screen.
The wormhole had been locked onto by the satellite. Even if all the monitoring equipment on the seabed was destroyed, it would be insignificant.
When everyone saw the scene clearly, they all gasped.
“What’s that?!” someone couldn’t help but scream.
The dust in the seawater gradually dispersed, and his vision became clear again.
Five thousand meters below the sea, a giant steel box appeared on the ruins.
This ten-meter-long steel box was like a steel coffin. Its surface was full of holes and irregular marks.
The huge box floated quietly along with the seawater, and no one knew where it was going.
Logically speaking, the seabed that had just experienced a nuclear explosion was full of dangerous energy and radiation, but nuclear submarines could naturally avoid these risks.
The nuclear-powered submarine immediately turned around and dived five thousand meters deep into the sea, slowly approaching the giant steel box.
The live broadcast was still ongoing. The global audience held their breath as they watched the steel box gradually move further away.
The nuclear-powered submarine moved forward cautiously. After all, this place had experienced a nuclear explosion not long ago and was filled with unknown dangers.
For example, sudden undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and new oceanic trenches.
Finally, the nuclear-powered submarine gradually caught up with the steel box and released a huge and tough fishing net to capture the box and slowly pull it to the surface of the sea.
After a long time, the steel box was finally dragged to the surface of the sea!
The live broadcast was interrupted.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and waited as they watched the wormhole being completely destroyed.
The nest had disappeared without a trace, and even its shadow could not be found under the sea.
A senior expert in the research center concluded, “This is indeed a wormhole. After it disappeared, there was no trace left in this s.p.a.ce. This shows that this wormhole is purely a s.p.a.ce-time node.”
Right then, Wu Mo and the others took on a new mission.
The old chief gathered all the professional researchers and began to study the huge steel box in a secret research room.
The steel box was placed on a laboratory table protected by three layers of tempered gla.s.s. Through the high-definition gla.s.s, one could see that the surface of the box was covered in a layer of copper-green metal with many marks.
The laser x-ray machine was unable to penetrate the unusually thick box.
Wu Mo immediately made his own judgment. “This box is very likely an object that came from the other end of the wormhole when it exploded. During the process of traveling, it encountered the power of a large-scale nuclear explosion, causing it to leave its main body and fly over alone.”
This explanation was novel, bold, and creative.
Imagine if there was a large machine, similar to a human-machine integrated mech, trying to pa.s.s through the wormhole.
However, the moment the wormhole was destroyed, the huge power caused the s.p.a.ce-time to explode, causing a part of the machine to be separated and come to this planet.
Another expert tentatively asked, “Chief Engineer Wu, your speculation is very plausible, but can we try to dissect it and see what’s inside?”
Everyone fell silent.
Dissecting this mysterious steel box was undoubtedly a huge risk.
The direct question was, during the dissection process, was there any flammable or explosive substance in the box that suddenly caused an explosion?
After all, this was an underground experimental center. If there was a violent explosion, who knew what the consequences would be?
“In that case, let’s dissect them on the marine experimental platform!”
The old chief decisively gave the order to transport the mysterious steel box to the marine experiment platform about twenty nautical miles from the sh.o.r.e.
Over there, a professional team had already put on protective clothing and was ready to perform the dissection through remote control.
To verify Wu Mo’s conjecture, the metal box was quickly sent to the experimental platform.
This was a secret island. There was a secret experimental base on the island, and the steel box was placed in the island experimental center.
Immediately after, the artificial intelligence-controlled experimental machine quietly approached. It waved its huge mechanical claws like a robot and began to cut with laser welding and cutting technology.
As one end of the steel box was slowly cut open, the drone captured a black hole inside. There was nothing.
“Something’s wrong. Why is it empty inside? Is this just a simple box, or a part of some advanced technological device?”
Wu Mo could not believe what he was seeing.
He felt that this thing should have come from another civilization, but how could the product of this civilization be so simple?
Obviously, this was not possible.
“Continue the dissection!” Wu Mo suggested decisively.
The experimenter on the other end received instructions and continued to cut the box into two halves vertically.
At this moment, he finally made a new discovery!
Some white powder slowly flowed out.
“Quickly collect the specimen and see what the composition is!” Wu Mo urged.
He could smell something unusual from the white powder, but in order to verify his guess, he needed to a.n.a.lyze the composition of the powder carefully.
The explosion that everyone was worried about did not happen. The white powder was collected into specimens and transported back to the experimental base.
This news was kept strictly confidential for now.
The world learned that there was a huge steel box at the center of the nuclear explosion, similar to a coffin!
The whole world was guessing what this was.
Unfortunately, China had not announced it, and the other countries had no way of knowing.
After more than ten hours of a.n.a.lysis, the research team led by Wu Mo a.n.a.lyzed the red box in all aspects.
The conclusion they came up with made everyone’s eyes light up.
It turned out that this white powder was not a mysterious substance. It was just ordinary gunpowder!
Everyone was stunned, and they couldn’t believe it.
The huge steel box that came through the wormhole only contained some gunpowder?
Even so, the gunpowder was highly concentrated, and its explosive power was equivalent to the explosion of three hundred cubic meters of TNT.
