Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 438 Past events in the center of the earth ([-]): Weird fleeting time

"Different from the group of idiots before, what I met this time was a bunch of fucking lunatics!"

"They call themselves the pirates of the Smoky Lake, and the leader is James Parrett, a pervert with one eye! They collect the saliva of the serpent underground! They say the saliva of the serpent can turn rocks into valuable ore !"

Chen Yan touched his chest pocket subconsciously, and then opened his spirit vision.

The moment the spirit vision was turned on, the voice of the bald Perrett appeared in Chen Yan's ear.

'That person has nothing to do with me! '

He didn't even bother to explain.

Of course, even if he explained something, Chen Yan would not believe it until he saw the facts.

Spherical Tunguska continued:
"They caught me, put me on a gas mask, and asked me to detect where the underground is suitable for mining tunnels. Damn, I've become a tool for you humans again. When will the fuck be the end of this day?"

Chen Yan looked thoughtfully at the deep scratches on the scales of the spherical Tunguska.

"I followed them underground for a long time, and slowly found that something was wrong with them."

Spherical Tunguska has a low voice:
"They can always come up with something that looks particularly weird, such as a mining ship that can perform surface operations, such as a palm-sized oxygen cylinder that allows people to dive underwater to detect ore veins, which is enough to provide a normal adult People breathe oxygen for an hour, what a ghost..."

It is a mysterious technology mastered by pirates!

Chen Yan felt that something was wrong when he was underground, and the technology mastered by the pirates was too advanced, it was not something of this world at all.

"Where do these strange things come from? How do you know that the saliva of the big snake can turn rocks into ore?"

"I don't know anything! I'm just a pangolin! I can only dig the ground!"

"That's it, I stayed in the ground for a few more fucking years."

"In the past few years, I have lived a good life. The pirates are much more conscientious than the people in the Criminal Investigation Section of the North Bureau. At least they have not treated me badly in terms of food. They let me eat whatever they eat."

The bald Parrett in Chen Yan's breast pocket said at this time:
'Pirates keep pets like this, they eat whatever they eat, and when they have nothing to eat, they can eat pets that have been fattened up... After all, no one can eat enough every day. '

Spherical Tunguska continued:
"I helped them discover several large mine veins, and they also made a fortune from those mine veins. Later, they hired many people and updated their equipment several times. After the detectors and large mining machines appeared, they didn't need me anymore. "

Chen Yan had seen two types of large mining machines underground, but had never seen a vein detector.

Here he interrupted the spherical Tunguska.

"How did they get so rich? Who did they sell their Snake Kiss Rock to?"

Spherical Tunguska said:
"Ah? You don't even know this? Their buyers are everywhere! Those big companies and powers, whoever uses electricity, buy ores that can generate electricity from them!"

There was a "boom" in Chen Yan's head, the past guesses were verified, and a clear train of thought unfolded in his mind——

Why is there only two thermal power plants in Yanan City, but the lights in such a large upper city can last all night;
Why is the director qualified to build a "power-eating" monster like a large server that accommodates tens of millions of people in Yanan City;

Why does Yanan City have the capital to set up "lighthouses" in the city, and why does it have the confidence to carry out wireless charging for all citizens?

……

Because Yanan City has Snake Kiss Rock!
And once the Snake's Kiss Rock is linked to the lighthouses all over the city, then the purchase of the Snake's Kiss Rock will be taxed.

The tax money went from the citizens to the House of Representatives, and the House of Representatives used the money to build "lighthouses" and purchase more Snake-Kiss Rocks to extract electricity for the construction of civil facilities—

Enterprises controlled by the municipality, such as steam bus operating companies, also received support from the municipality in this context, and were able to use tax revenue to build a new type of automated track similar to the light rail...

Technologies such as wireless charging are not available in this era.

Could it be that the technical basis of the lighthouses that are almost all over Yanan City today also come from the pirates of the Smoky Lake?
Chen Yan can't be sure, because apart from the pirates in the smoked lake, the Byron Weiss Group, the director's Red Moon Starry Sky Technology Co., Ltd., the Mechanical Ascension Society, the Anthem Group, the William Adams Group...Yanan City Reputable forces have more or less demonstrated technology beyond this era.

The times are changing so fast that it is really hard to grasp.

In Chen Yan's wild thoughts, the spherical Tungus continued:
"They still wanted to keep me. I dug for them for so long and made such great contributions. And I never dug out dangerous gas or monsters. They regarded me as a mascot!"

Bald Perrett said in Chen Yan's ear:

’ Indeed, the pirates believed in luck as a god, and if a person or animal survived doing something dangerous for a long time, they made him or her a mascot. '

Spherical Tungus sneered disdainfully:
"But it's so boring to live underground all the time! You have to face those half-human monsters like shrimps and crabs all day long. It's not as interesting as picking up trash and drying rats on the high street."

"So, I took a chance and ran out of the ground."

"Later, I was caught and sent to you."

Chen Yan felt his head buzzing after listening to it.

What Tungus Spherical said clarified some things for Chen Yan, but at the same time created more mysteries.

Now it seems that all the abnormalities originated from the experiment on the gap leading to the space of the brass pipe in the laboratory of the Rice University Research Institute 20 years ago.

Chen Yan sorted out the approximate sequence of events:
1 In that year, Chen Changsheng and Cang'er, who were graduates of the Rice University, discovered a [crack] leading to the brass pipe space in the attic of the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street by chance.

2 They tried every means to move the [Gap] from the attic back to the University of Midtown, and placed it in the laboratory of the research institute.

3 They regard the knowledge related to [Crack] as their graduation project, and conduct research on it. Grange's uncle calculated [Lagrange time], which greatly helped the subsequent experiments.

4 They began to prepare for the [next stage of research] (this is one of Chen Yan's most curious doubts, what kind of experiment were they preparing at that time? What did they want to get from the crack? It was only about the world of brass pipes. Exploring? Chen Yan thinks not).

The dean at that time heard the news and forcibly intervened in the experiment (this is the second most curious doubt of Chen Yan, what did the director do in the past?), under the forcible intervention of the director, the experiment failed, and Bad results were produced, except for Chen Changsheng, almost everyone else was killed or injured.

5 After the experiment failed, the laboratory was brutally dealt with by the Rice University Research Institute—they pushed the entire laboratory into the [Waste Abyss] of an unknown number of meters below the surface of the Rice University.

The mutated rift in the laboratory destroyed the [City of Overlapping Mountains] that originally existed underground (at least it looks like this now, but how the [City of Overlapping Mountains] appeared and how many years it existed underground is still unknown. solved puzzles), reducing it to ruins.

6 A few years later, the Wilke Young incident occurred, and the spherical Tunguska dug up the rock formation that had been abandoned in the laboratory, and the unknown strain [brain ball strain] invaded Mida, spreading sleepwalking on a large scale, and the Mida school closure incident began, and Under the intervention of Mida's powerful extraordinary power, it was calmed down in a short time.

In the same year, the spherical Tungus mutated, gained human intelligence, and took away Wilke Young's larynx as his vocal organ.

From then on, the spherical Tungus escaped from Mida and entered the black pine forest in the northwest of Mida, trying to survive.

7 After a period of time, the spherical Tungus heard the call of the phonograph in "City of Mountains" (it didn't know it was a phonograph at the time), and went back underground.

At the same time, "Lord Quinn" and "Big Dog" of the newly established Northern Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division entered the waste abyss, and for some weird purpose, threw the laboratory into the depths of the "waste abyss"—an incredible thing It happened—[City of Overlapping Peaks] had an unexplainable "resurrection".

At the same time, the falling laboratory produced a strong shock wave in the waste abyss, which caused violent shocks in the leylines of Yanan City. The underground caves and waterways were penetrated, and the smoky lake was poured back, allowing pirates to enter the underground space.

7 A few years later, Yanan City was preparing to build a subway, and accidentally dug out the "resurrected" [City of Overlapping Mountains], so a haunting incident occurred on the construction site, many people died tragically, the construction team had to stop work, and gave up the underground Iron construction.

Also in the past few years, the North Bureau has never given up on the exploration of [City of Overlapping Mountains], invested a lot of manpower, and lost a lot of manpower due to the "resurrected" [Brain Ball Strain].

In order to prevent the [Brain Ball Strain] from continuing to spread, the North Bureau led the smoky lake water underground from another angle, submerging the city of overlapping mountains.

At the same time, the [Great Snake] that can turn ordinary rocks into Snake Kiss Rocks appeared underground, and the North Bureau suffered heavy casualties.

It was also at this time that due to the vortex that appeared underground, the North Bureau discovered that the lowest end of the world's current cognition is not the [Bottom of the Wasted Abyss], so they continued to explore and lost more manpower.

After several unsuccessful investigations, the North Bureau gave up its exploration of the bottom of the ruined abyss.

8 After a period of time, the pirates headed by James Parrett went underground with advanced technology that surpassed this era, mined a large amount of Snake's Kiss Rock transformed by [Orochi], and sold the Snake's Kiss Rock to the surface. As a result, the major forces made a fortune and established [Spyro Industries].
