BXBX NOVEL Chapter 575 - Science Misleads People
In cases where weather conditions pose challenges for air transportation, supplies, and personnel could be transported to the facility using icebreaker ships via sea routes. This allowed for transportation and logistics support even during periods of adverse weather such as strong winds and heavy snowfall. The combination of air and sea transportation ensured reliable and continuous logistical support for the research station, allowing it to operate effectively regardless of the weather conditions.
The sound of roaring aircraft landing and taking off echoes continuously as the United Nations forces from various countries conduct patrols around the research station. The beacon of the station moved back and forth, guiding the aircraft in their direction. As a highly significant United Nations research station, no unauthorized intrusions, not even flies, were allowed within its premises. Stringent measures were in place to ensure the station\'s security and integrity, safeguarding its operations and research activities from any unauthorized interference.
Naturally, there were no flies in Antarctica. The most important thing was to prevent unauthorized human access.
Countless state-of-the-art equipment was being used in daily operations, and the construction cost of this research base alone amounted to billions of dollars. Apart from observing the meteorite fragments, there was a genuine interest in thoroughly exploring this untouched continent with no traces of human presence.
Gui Bin, Oshima, Smith, M13, and many other leaders of special operations departments from every country could be considered the leaders of this institute now. Both the military and research personnel in charge were required to report to them.
“Hey, Gui! If it weren\'t for our official duties, I would love to take you out to capture the aurora and experience the thrill of riding sled dogs across the Antarctic continent.”
M13, the middle-aged man who wanted to be called James Bond, looked very civilized and serious on the outside, but he was actually very talkative. All the way to the research station, he could be heard rambling in his London accent.
Gui Bin secretly rejoiced in his ability to speak English, otherwise, he would have needed a translator. However, sometimes he wondered when Chinese would become an internationally recognized language.
That day shouldn’t be too far right?
"I\'m not interested in huskies, Bond! So let\'s go and take a look at the research findings first. This time, we have brought a group of experts and scholars with us."
Gui Bin was not here for a vacation, and in fact, nobody here was. Moreover, everyone was required to report daily to their home countries.
M13 did not dislike being called Bond, but he knew that official business was more important.
The group hurriedly walked into the spacious conference room. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a cacophony of voices. Meteorologists, geologists, biologists, historians, mythologists, and experts from various other fields from around the world had gathered together. With so many experts in one place, intense debates and arguments naturally dominated the atmosphere.
When Gui Bin and the others arrived, the sound of arguing lessened.
“Please, everyone, quiet down. These officials here are representatives from various countries. We need to present a summary of our previous research findings to them.”
A man in his fifties stood up to bring order to the room.
The many experts present all nodded their heads.
“This is the chief geologist of this facility, Mr. Carmen, an Israeli. At the same time, he is also the person in charge here!”
Smith introduced the expert to the new arrivals.
Carmen shook hands with them and waited until everyone was seated before operating the high-tech virtual screen.
“A month ago, our advance investigation team went to the landing site of the meteorite and found its fragments.”
A holographic image appeared on the virtual screen, displaying small fragments of the meteorite. It emitted a faint purple glow, giving it an eerie and demonic appearance.
The people who had never seen the meteorite fragment before leaned forward and stared with wide eyes.
“Please rest assured and take a closer look. This image has been investigated by our earlier investigators, and there is no curse associated with it.”
Carmen’s words brought laughter from the crowd.
“The investigators did not dare touch this fragment, but nevertheless something unbelievable occurred.”
The image began to move and the crowd saw a frozen building appear on the virtual screen labeled as seven hundred and sixty meters deep underground.
Even though Gui Bin and the others had long known the reason why they came to Antarctica, they still let out a gasp when they saw this building that was supposedly found under the Antarctic continent.
“That’s right, the most amazing discovery is that there is a building complex under the Antarctic continent!!”
“Two hundred million years ago, Antarctica, Africa, South America, India, and other regions were actually connected. During that time, Antarctica was not the icy land it is today but rather supported the growth of ferns, cycads, and other plants. Many animals also inhabited the area. However, over a hundred million years ago, the supercontinent Gondwana began to break apart. Africa and Australia drifted northward, while the Indian subcontinent collided with the Eurasian continent. Antarctica remained behind, isolated from the other landmasses.”
“...And approximately 34 million years ago, the landmasses of South America and Antarctica also separated, forming the present-day Drake Passage. The two continents became distinct entities, with Antarctica truly emerging as we know it today.”
Carmen glanced around at the people present and spoke slowly, emphasizing each word, “I have shared all this to convey a crucial point: 34 million years ago, Antarctica transformed into the icy land it is today. This means that beneath the surface of Antarctica, there could be structures and traces of civilizations dating back 100 million years or even 200 million years ago, as that was the time when the environment was suitable for life to thrive!”
“However, on this extraordinary Earth with powers beyond our comprehension, the emergence of civilizations in the icy expanse of Antarctica may not seem as significant. But whether these traces of civilization appeared 200 million years ago or 34 million years ago, it is truly remarkable because there were no human beings at that time!”
As his words fell, the entire room went silent and Carmen became satisfied with the effect he had caused.
Then a mythologist weakly raised his hand.
Carmend said gently, “Do you have any questions?”
“Uh, what I want to say is that the theory that says that humans only appeared a million years ago or that they have evolved from monkeys is based on the Darwinian Theory of Evolution. But with the existence of supernatural forces on Earth, how can you just conclude that humans are an evolved species? What if we were created by God, Nuwa, Zeus, or any other deity? How could you simply conclude that humans did not exist 200 million years ago?”
The mythologist’s words caused Carmen’s face to redden with fury. He wanted to curse, ‘Damn, I fucking forgot that there is a God in this world, and yet I’m still using science to explain the problem. Science misleads people. Science misleads people!’
The entire conference room was filled with laughter and chatter. Some scholars shook their heads with a wry smile, while others slapped their foreheads. In fact, many experts present had entertained similar thoughts, finding it difficult to attribute everything to a divine explanation.
Indeed, the notion of the birth of humanity as determined through scientific research could very well be misleading. What if humans were created by a divine being? They had to consider the power and aura emanating from the image of the God of the Eastern Sky Taiyi, who shattered a mysterious meteorite with a single palm. If this is the true Taiyi, wouldn\'t it imply that he can hold the sun and moon in his hands and treat the Milky Way as a mere river?
Indeed, based on various known information, Earth was likely not the only inhabited planet in the universe. It was possible that there were numerous races coexisting in this vast universe, and regardless of the specific race, it seemed that they all have belief in higher beings or gods.
Carmen remained silent and proceeded to display other photographs. He continued, “Please take a look at this. These are the scan results of the underground space using our most advanced instruments. From these structural images, we can observe that there is indeed a large cavity beneath the surface of Antarctica. Within these ghostly images, we can also discern the presence of a layered architectural remnant!”
“Furthermore, take a look at this. This immense shadow can be identified as a mountain, and based on our preliminary measurements, its height exceeds that of the current tallest peak in the world, Mount Everest. However, even more astonishingly, this mountain is inverted! It had grown downward instead of upward!"
The room fell into stunned silence as everyone gazed at the ethereal images on the screen. In each person\'s eyes, a mixture of shock and horror flashed by. They finally realized why governments around the world attached such significance to Antarctica. The mysteries hidden beneath its icy surface were far more profound than they could have ever imagined.
