In my full-length adventure novel The Land of Mysteries, I set up a core secret whose background originated from the former Soviet Union's "Earth Telescope Project."
As the name suggests, humans have designed astronomical telescopes through which they can peer into the universe and starry sky with the naked eye.
However, human eyes cannot penetrate the ground because it is much more difficult to explore below the feet than above the head.
Humans have been able to reach the edge of the solar system, but it is difficult to drill a deep well more than three thousand meters deep.
Therefore, the abyss that penetrates the stratum is called "Earth Telescope", which means a cave that goes straight to the center of the earth.
The prototype of this plan was as early as the Cold War in the 1960s.
The two major camps of the Soviet Union and the United States were dominated by the Cold War mentality and invested a large amount of financial and material resources in endless war preparation competition.
Military scientific research was also carried out at an almost abnormal speed.
Making rapid progress, both sides tried their best to develop various strategic resources.
At that time, the southern and eastern parts of the Soviet Union were vast and surrounded by mountainous areas with many natural caves and mines.
In order to grasp the rich resources hidden underground earlier than the United States, as well as the unknown world that humans have never touched, the Soviets chose an uninhabited desert island in Lake Baikal as a base, used heavy drilling machinery and equipment, and secretly conducted unprecedented deep excavations. .
This project took nearly twenty years, and the cave they dug has a vertical depth of 12,000 meters, making it the deepest known cave in the world.
Because it involves high military secrets, the "Earth Telescope" project has always been carried out in an absolutely closed state, and few outsiders know the inside story.
There have always been many legends about what Soviet scientists discovered through earth telescopes, and the contents are very bizarre and terrifying.
There is a saying that after deep drilling reaches about 12,000 meters, it can no longer be dug.
Although the melting point of the drill bit is almost equal to the temperature of the surface of the sun, sometimes when the drill bit is lowered, only the wire rope is pulled out, and strange sounds come from the drilling.
The radio station will receive a large number of strange noises coming from the ground, which are simply like the screams of demons.
No one can understand these messages from the abyss, and they cannot be explained scientifically.
Everyone on site thinks they have dug through hell.
As the depth increased, there were more and more incredible strange phenomena.
Finally, due to various known and unknowable factors, the project was forced to freeze.
It is said that American astronauts have also received similar "ghost waves" in outer space.
In recent years, scientists have confirmed that they are cosmic microwave radiation, just like the snowflakes appearing on the TV or the noise interference on the radio.
From the distant past to the endless future, this invisible and intangible electromagnetic wave has always existed in nature.
Perhaps the terrible phenomena in the underground abyss are also electromagnetic effects, but these situations have yet to be explored by scientists.
As for the secret buried deep in the center of the earth in the novel "The Country of Mysteries", we will leave it to the novel to analyze it
