Chapter 843 Strange Man-made Object
A certain theologian once thought about such a thing-if a person picks up a watch in the wilderness, then he will assume that it is a man-made thing, and someone other than himself has been to this place.He wants to figure out why this is so, and use it to sort out the proposition of "logically, whether 'nature is a created thing' holds true".

Compared with non-man-made objects, man-made objects have many obvious characteristics.

Xiang Shan is now convinced that the thing in his hand is a man-made object.

This is a very obvious artificial object, pure black, uniform texture, and full of design sense, with many "reducing processing difficulty" designs.

But the strange thing is that this thing seems a little too light.

Like most plastic products, this polymer material is less dense than water.No matter how you think about it, this thing should appear on the surface of the water, not at a depth of about 300 meters underwater.

The original source said: "There was a counterweight hanging under this thing. The drone was not equipped with a special working arm. It was brought back by two small drones. The counterweight was loose and fell into the depths of the sea." gone."

"Well... this sounds more like a product of design. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are already creatures that can produce natural plastic..." Xiang Shan received the video record from the original hearer, and put this thing on the instrument to scan.

"Huh? There are traces left by 3D printing... Or is it a more traditional technology?" Xiang Yamate rested on his chin and pondered: "So what the hell is this?"

Six days guessed: "Could it be that the one that falls is the main body, and then this is the counterweight, to ensure that this thing can be suspended at a certain height..."

"If I made such a design, then the 'counterweight' that provides buoyancy should be a solid polymer material sphere, rather than this hollow and unsealed complex geometry." Xiang Shan shook his head: "This Things are too easy to go wrong."

——And the key is, who is this and for what purpose is it placed here?

Xiang Shan fell into deep thought.

First of all, there is no doubt that some people put it here for some purpose, and this thing was made with a certain purpose.The shape of this object is very complex, and it must be the product of careful design.In addition, since most of the culture of this era has been wiped out, it should not be the product of culturally-based human activities such as the "Wishing Boat".

So what else could it be?

Some kind of weapon?Or is it part of some kind of surveillance system?

Neither.The "counterweight" that falls from under this thing is very light.It is used to ensure that this thing is suspended at a certain height.In other words, below a certain depth, that counterweight is roughly equivalent to the buoyancy of this strange object.

Something weighing a few grams... Even the most powerful explosives can't hurt anyone.

In the same way, such a light thing cannot be used to transmit any signal.

The research knights used to release biological larvae or eggs?In that way, more regular geometry can be used to reduce the processing difficulty.This kind of complex shape and complex internal structure is completely unnecessary.

Xiang Shan pondered for a moment: "Some kind of resonant cavity? Used to amplify specific acoustic signals? Is there any sign of sonar detected?"

The original hearer shook his head: "There is nothing but our own."

Xiang Shan pondered for a moment: "Xiao Yuan, what do you think? Is it necessary to investigate this sea area?"

The original hearer thought for a moment: "This..."

"What to say."

Yuan Wen said: "Senior, our most important task at this stage should be to recover the prosthetic body of the Ninth Valkyrie. So... And, if, as you speculate, this thing is a prop used to amplify the sonar signal, It must be a cheap new product. It is floating here alone, which means that the incident has long since ended."

Xiang Shan nodded: "It makes sense. Send out a small drone, retrieve it casually and withdraw it. We can also slow down a little bit. The 'shooter' is somewhere, and it is impossible to run away by himself."

The three vehicles spilled more drones, searching around.Xiang Shan also slowed down a little to prevent the drone from catching up with the vehicle.

A few juniors discussed some martial arts matters there.Most of the time, it is the original hearers who talk about their own experience, while Yuki and Liuri start some discussions.Xiang Shan didn't interfere either.This kind of self-exploration of martial arts is also a part of progress.It helps Yuki and Liuri to have a clearer understanding of the context of their own progress.

This kind of discussion is as important as the training of "taking high-level beatings".

Xiang Shan just leaned against the inner wall of the cabin, holding the thing in one hand, and looked over it over and over like this.

Suddenly, Xiang Shan was in a trance.

This "seeing a man-made object of unknown significance and then guessing its purpose" experience...

long, long ago……

long long ago……

also had...

Xiang Shan's consciousness seems to have returned to a more distant past, back to the time when he was poor and had no power.At that time, he was just an ordinary researcher, facing a pile of garbage from outer space, deducing the situation of aliens...

At that time, Kanbara was still there.David's work station is not far from him.Yawgmoth is still a good man...

Xiang Shan sighed inwardly, threw the things in his hand aside, and waited patiently.

More than two hours later, a group of drones returned.They brought back another strange piece of plastic.

Almost identical to the first one.Moreover, there is indeed a counterweight below.

It was a transparent silk thread, which also looked like a kind of polymer plastic, but the material was completely different from that strange product.The transparent thread was glued to the second strange artifact on one end, and to... er, a small stone on the other end.

He looked up at the small stone with sea water in it.How to put it, he was almost sure that it was a natural thing.

"It's kind of like... fragments of volcanic rocks on the seabed?" Xiang Shan said uncertainly, "Uh...it seems to be smashed?"

It's like a... a modern product, with a stone age product glued on it as a part.It's weird anyway.

Xiang Shan crushed half a small stone with his fingers, and then confirmed that it was pure seabed volcanic rock without any complicated processing.

Although in a sense it is in line with the cheap idea of ​​"one-time props"...

But if you really want to talk about "cheap", the cost of collecting a lot of small stones of similar size and weight is higher than "making a bunch of artificial counterweights", right?

Weird.
