Time passed bit by bit. Lu Ming raised his wrist and stared at his watch.

At this moment, it has been ten seconds since the sacrifice ended.

He knew that it would be more difficult if there was no such booming sound. This means that it is not possible to use pregnant animals to replace pregnant women. The root cause of this series of strange events lies in all the characteristics of human pregnant women.

There are certain special characteristics that pregnant beasts do not have. In this case, our subsequent research and verification methods will be reduced a lot.

Eleven, twelve, thirteen...

In this silence, in a trance, the banging sound suddenly sounded.

Lu Ming's heart dropped slightly.

In any case, this at least proves that it is completely feasible to use pregnant animals to perform sacrifices instead of pregnant women. It can even be said to have the same effect.

However, the rock experts and acoustic experts who were guarding the sarcophagus each looked at each other, and they all saw a look of horror on each other's faces.

Human ears may make mistakes, but instruments and equipment are unlikely to make mistakes. Now, the instruments have clearly captured this sound.

The sound source positioning system also clearly pointed out that the source of this banging sound was this sarcophagus.

It really came from the inside of this sarcophagus! But this sarcophagus is obviously solid, how could there be any sound coming from inside it?

An acoustic expert carefully looked at the data and images on the display screen. Suddenly he broke out in a cold sweat and his expression was filled with horror.

He seemed to have seen something extremely terrible.

But everyone did not move at this moment, waiting silently until the banging sound completely disappeared.

Lu Ming and He Wei walked over quickly.

"Professor Qian, what's wrong?"

The acoustic expert known as Professor Qian pointed at the display screen, his whole body trembling slightly. After a moment, he said hoarsely: "Look at these data."

Lu Ming looked at it subconsciously, then looked back and shook his head: "I can't understand."

Professor Qian took several rapid breaths before reluctantly saying: "That's it. The sound source positioning system showed that the sound just now did come from the sarcophagus. But... it was not the sarcophagus that made the sound."

Both Lu Ming and He Wei were a little puzzled.

What does it mean that the sarcophagus is not the one that made the sound? The sound clearly came from inside it.

"This is a vibration frequency detection device. Sergeant Lu, um, you should know that the essence of sound is the vibration of an object. The vibration of an object will produce sound, and the sound will also cause the object to vibrate."

Of course Lu Ming knew this. This was just junior high school knowledge.

"However, I have installed a total of 39 vibration frequency detection devices on this sarcophagus, around the sarcophagus, and in various places in the hall. And, depending on the distance, I detected that when the banging sound was made,

The vibrations of the sarcophagus itself are consistent with the rate at which sound decays with distance."

"what does that mean?"

Lu Ming and He Wei still didn't understand.

"This means that the sarcophagus is not the source of the sound itself at all. The sound is not emitted by it. Like the rest of the hall, it vibrates only because it is affected by the sound. In other words, it is not because

The vibration of the sarcophagus made a sound, but it was because of the sound that the sarcophagus vibrated."

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

This result was indeed somewhat beyond his expectation.

"Then, where did the sound come from?"

"The sound source positioning system clearly shows that the sound comes from inside this sarcophagus. The sound is coming from this sarcophagus!"

Two systems, both very precise and very accurate, actually gave two completely opposite conclusions at this moment.

The sound came from the sarcophagus, but it did not come from the sarcophagus.

Lu Ming looked at the rock expert next to him.

"Is there a cavity inside the sarcophagus, and is there a sound-producing device in that cavity?"

The rock expert shook his head: "It is certain that there is no cavity inside the sarcophagus."

"Okay, then there is no cavity, just a sound-producing device?"

The acoustic expert shook his head in denial: "It's also impossible. If that were the case, the vibration frequency of the sarcophagus would not be what it is now. This... object vibrates, makes a sound, and then causes another object to vibrate, which is caused by direct contact between the two objects.

The vibrations have different energy loss rates. This is easy to distinguish."

He Wei considered the words: "Professor Qian, you are saying that the current situation... is that there is a sound source inside the sarcophagus. It is located inside the sarcophagus, but this sound source will not have any physical impact on the sarcophagus except for making sounds.

?”

Lu Ming shook his head subconsciously. He felt this was too ridiculous.

Apart from sound, there is no physical interaction with the sarcophagus? How is this possible? Unless the sound does not require anything that actually exists on the physical level - because once it exists, there must be interaction.

But if this device does not exist on the physical level, how can it emit sounds that can be heard and perceived on the physical level in the real world?

This voice actually exists.

This cannot be explained at all.

But the reputation expert nodded.

"That's it. There's only...only one explanation."

His body was still shaking a little at this moment, and his face was still full of disbelief. It seemed that this phenomenon had challenged his cognition and subverted his world view.

"There must be something wrong with the equipment...it must be, it must be. Let's try it again."

At this moment, the rest of the people involved in the experiment, including the senior executives of the Destiny Organization, were looking at Lu Ming and He Wei with anxiety, waiting for them to make the next decision.

Lu Ming thought for a while and signaled for people to transport away all the pregnant beasts placed in front of the sarcophagus. So a large number of people filed in, and after a while, all the hundreds of pregnant beasts were transported out.

These pregnant animals will be temporarily stored in the club. After all the experiments are completed, they will go back and forth according to the previously established experimental procedures. At the same time, the staff of the breeding farms will not know these things.

What exactly happened to the pregnant beast here? Operation Team 2 did not give them any instructions.

How we treated these pregnant beasts and the little beasts about to be born in the past is how we will treat them in the future.

In fact, in order to avoid the possibility of being treated differently by farm staff due to the fact that they were "transported away and then brought back", some of the pregnant animals that were transported would not even be tested at all.

They are just out for a trip, and they can go back just as they came.

In this way, the possible impact of conscious differential treatment on the determination of luck index is eliminated.

At this moment, after the first batch of one hundred pregnant beasts were transported away, the second batch of pregnant beasts that had been disposed of in advance was transported in, and the second sacrificial ceremony began.

Acoustic experts are facing a formidable enemy.

During the period before the start of the second sacrificial ceremony, the acoustic experts were busy, testing all the equipment and conducting several more acoustic tests to confirm that all the equipment was working properly and the values ​​were accurate.

Begin this second sacrificial ceremony.

Still reciting sacrificial inscriptions, still performing spiritual dances, after a series of processes, the second sacrifice was completed. As expected, there was a slightly weird bang, as if someone was tapping the sarcophagus from the inside.

The banging sound sounded again.

This time, the faces of the acoustic experts were even worse.

Because the second test also came to the same conclusion as the first test.

The sound indeed came from inside the sarcophagus. But it did not have any physical interaction with the sarcophagus itself except for the sound.

"How could this happen, how could this happen..."

Professor Qian, the leader of the team, hurriedly checked the values ​​​​of each detector. After finding that everything was normal, he used a piece of equipment as a chair and sat down.

"This is not a sound from our world. It, it comes from another world. There is only one explanation."

Other than that, there really is no other theory to explain it.

"Well, things have gotten a little weirder now."

Lu Ming sighed in his heart. But other than writing this matter down temporarily, he had no other way to continue studying it at this moment.

Whether it is a high-dimensional universe, a parallel universe, another universe, etc., they are all things that are completely out of reach with current technological means and can neither be proven nor falsified. So we can only ignore them for the time being.

After the second test ended, the third test began. Like the previous two, this third test also made a booming sound.

However, this time, in addition to the still weird banging sound, acoustic experts made another discovery.

"This boom-boom sound has become louder."

Professor Qian pointed to a few numbers, his expression full of solemnity.

"The sound value detected in the third test was about 0.015% greater than the first."

"Getting bigger?"

Lu Ming was a little surprised. He looked at the goddess and saw that she was at a loss.

"I have performed this ritual hundreds of times before, and I have never felt that the sound has become louder."

The other two senior executives of the Destiny Organization who also frequently participated in the sacrificial ceremony also shook their heads.

Lu Ming looked at Professor Qian again.
