261: I always like to use that island as a metaphor

A few minutes later, the helicopter landed.

Someone used a tow rope to tie a drone and released it to fly over the sinkhole, then slowly lowered it.

When it descended to a hundred meters above the sinkhole, the drone suddenly flamed out and spun as it fell towards the sinkhole.

The tow rope tied to the drone simultaneously pulled, dragging it away from the sinkhole's range before it plunged in.

As the researchers recovered the drone, Chen Zheng, who was temporarily serving as the leader of the second team of the underground cave research group, also arrived not far from Director Yang and the other person.

After landing, he hesitated when he saw the Mirror Wolf constantly circling and sitting next to Director Yang.

However, he ultimately chose to trust Director Yang and the other person's judgment and approached them.

"Director Yue, Director Yang, I am Chen Zheng, the temporary leader of the second team of the underground cave research group."

After shaking hands with both of them, he took out a Space Bracelet and handed it to them:

"This is a specially made disposable Space Bracelet."

After speaking, he pressed a blue button on the side of the bracelet, and then a black cylindrical phantom, casting a shadow over the sky, appeared above them:

"As per Director Yang's request, we brought a special dome with a diameter of 500 meters and a height of 10 meters, to cover the sinkhole."

As he spoke, he adjusted the angle of the bracelet again, making the projected image of the steel dome level with the ground:

"You just need to press the red, blue, and black buttons in sequence, and the superalloy firing pin inside the bracelet will shatter the space primordial stone. The sub-dimensional space born with the space primordial stone as its carrier will then shatter, causing the dome to fall from the sub-dimensional space at the projected position."

"However, technological equipment will be interfered with and destroyed by unknown pulse waves released from within the underground cave after entering the airspace above the sinkhole, so please ask Director Yue or Director Yang to take the bracelet above the sinkhole and shatter it."

Director Yang, who took the bracelet, looked thoughtful:

"This thing weighs about 15 million tons, right?"

"If it falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions and they drop it from a high altitude, wouldn't the Earth explode?"

Chen Zheng explained seriously:

"The destructive power generated by high-mass objects impacting Earth is related to the kinetic energy generated during the impact."

"We calculated that if a 15-million-ton solid iron ball is taken to an altitude of 2,000 kilometers and allowed to freefall, its instantaneous speed upon contact with the ground would reach 5.48 kilometers per second, generating a destructive power equivalent to 53.8 million tons of TNT upon impact."

"This destructive power is slightly less than the Tsar Bomba, and 36 times greater than Little Boy."

"If it were deployed over Tokyo, it could create an impact crater 1-2 kilometers deep and 12 kilometers in diameter, trigger a 20-kilometer radius shockwave destruction zone, destabilize the continental shelf, cause an earthquake of magnitude 9 or higher, and trigger a super tsunami, with casualties potentially reaching tens of millions..."

Director Yang blinked.

He found that no matter who it was, when talking about such powerful weapons, they always liked to use that small island to the east as an example.

Just as Director Yang was pondering, he heard Chen Zheng continue:

"The destructive power of an object of this weight is no less than that of a large-yield strategic nuclear bomb, and because of its portability, its security is far stricter than that of a large-yield nuclear bomb."

"In addition to this, we have also implemented other safety measures on the Space Bracelet to ensure that the bracelet will not have any problems..."

Director Yang nodded, took two steps towards the sinkhole, and then said:

"This thing is 500 meters in diameter, and the sinkhole is 300 meters in diameter."

"What would happen if I shattered the bracelet inside the sinkhole and released it?"

Chen Zheng replied:

"According to observations by the Space Research Institute, when dimensional spaces collide, two phenomena occur: engulfment and folding."

"For spaces of the same dimension, like Earth and an Alien Planet colliding, the space will fold."

"For example, the spatial node located in Chengdu, after the dimensional erosion ends, will form a semi-independent spatial area similar to a Small World or a Secret Realm."

"When a high-dimensional space collides with a low-dimensional space, such as shattering the bracelet on Earth."

"Because the fundamental difference is too great, it cannot form a 'Small World' or 'Secret Realm'."

"The moment the bracelet's space shatters, it will emit a special repulsive magnetic field based on the size of its internal space and the mass of the object, squeezing the object inside the bracelet into Earth's space."

"In short, the dome will 'push aside' the sinkhole walls and embed itself into the sinkhole."

"If the density of the sinkhole walls is much higher than the dome, then the dome will be compressed, causing it to shatter under uneven stress."

Having received the answer, Director Yang scanned his surroundings.

The incapacitated mutated giant lizard had already been tied up at its four limbs and tail and placed into a special Space Bracelet, ready to be sent to the biological research institute.

Everyone else had also moved five hundred meters away from the sinkhole.

After confirming that no one else would be affected, Director Yang looked at Yue Shan and Chen Zheng:

"Uncle Yue, you take Team Leader Chen and go far away. I'll go release the dome."

Yue Shan nodded, took Chen Zheng, and flew into the distance. Director Yang, holding the Space Bracelet, flew above the sinkhole.

The moment he entered the space above the sinkhole, Director Yang's body hair subtly stirred.

It felt like static electricity was sweeping across his skin, similar to the sensation he had earlier when he was swept by the two blue light waves.

Just as Director Yang felt this, the projected phantom of the dome disappeared.

A burnt smell of scorching circuits then emanated from the bracelet.

'That special pulse wave from underground?'

He muttered, then Director Yang turned his head to look at the Mirror Wolf, who, unable to fly and keep up with him, was anxiously circling at the edge of the sinkhole.

With a thought, his Qi and blood transformed into a long bridge, extending before the Mirror Wolf.

The Mirror Wolf stepped on it, then playfully ran to Director Yang's side, circling him a couple of times, then sitting down and watching him.

In the distance, Chen Zheng, holding a telescope, saw Director Yang tear off a piece of heaven and earth treasures and feed it to the Mirror Wolf, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva:

"Director Yue, Director Yang is doing what?"

Yue Shan glanced at him:

"Just as you see, he's training a wolf."

After answering, Yue Shan sighed with emotion:

"These Beast Kings are also bullies who pick on the weak."

"If you try to reason with them, they don't understand."

"But after a missile bombardment, their eyes clear right up."

"Then subdue the Beast King with personal strength, and domesticate them with heaven and earth treasures or spiritual items..."

"Tsk, this might really be a good way to tame Beast King-level creatures."

Chen Zheng frowned. As a researcher, he was always a bit nitpicky:

"Isn't it a bit unreliable to tame beasts using only this method?"

"Beast King-level creatures are still wild beasts at the end of the day. It would be troublesome if they went berserk."

Yue Shan had a different view from Chen Zheng; he was very open-minded:

"So what if they're wild beasts?"

"Dogs are also beasts."

"Some people are even worse than dogs..."

As the two spoke, the space above the sinkhole subtly twisted.

Then, a gigantic steel dome appeared out of thin air, embedding itself into the ground and pressing it down firmly.

The large river flowing into the sinkhole consequently changed its course, beginning to spread into the forest, eventually converging with its original riverbed, and rushing downwards.

Director Yang, somewhat curiously, pulled up a handle embedded in the dome...
