Chapter 871 The Continent Supported by the World Tree
The three-dimensional map is based on the technical staff on the Noah relying on two mechas to detect the real scene in the strait to match the coordinates, and then added the existing geographical information of Tiandu Star After synthesis, it was modeled using Lanxing technology.
Because there are many gaps in the underwater data, more than two-thirds of the land's underwater terrain is vacant.
Jin Sichen looked at the incomplete three-dimensional diagram, his mouth twitched slightly, and he was disgusted: "When will they finish learning the instructions for the Noah?"
The Noah naturally has relevant technology. Yes, we can achieve this goal faster and better, just like the previous biological detection, which can be achieved with just one click, saving everyone trouble.
"It's not like you don't know," Lin Fan immediately responded, "The instruction manual for the Noah is so long that I don't even want to read it. Human technicians can understand it, learn it, and skillfully control the spacecraft, and arrive safely." It’s not easy to come here, okay, you have to give them time.”
After all, there are gaps in technology. If I don’t leave it to you, you will know it immediately. Didn’t you see that there are still obstacles for the elderly to use smartphones?
At the beginning of the Noah's voyage, it was through practicing taking off and landing on countless planets that it learned a lot about daily navigation controls. As for the other things... maybe it's because I don't need it and I don't feel anxious, Lin Fan There’s no sense of urgency anyway.
How can Jin Sichen not know this? It’s not like he hasn’t read the instructions. Just seeing this incomplete finished model makes me feel obsessive-compulsive.
“I just felt that something was wrong at that time,” Antonio had already bent down to take a closer look, wishing he could insert his head into the model. “Look, no wonder we had so many places to hide in the beginning. I thought it was Lin’s extraordinary intuition that brought us good luck.”
Lin Fan and Jin Sichen both looked at the position of his finger. It was the only relatively sound simulated terrain under the sea, and it was also the area they had explored two days ago.
As we all know, the reason why land can sit firmly on the sea is because there is a larger area of base under the sea.
The geography of the planet is essentially high mountains and low valleys, but some low valleys are submerged by sea water, and only the parts above sea level are shown, which is land in a broad sense.
The sea area covered by Tiandu Star is larger than that of Lanxing, and the foundation buried deep under the sea is naturally extremely deep and wide.
As the base of land, the area of rock formations under the sea must be larger than that on the sea, or at least equal to the ground, in order to provide stable support to resist various changes in the crust, such as earthquakes and tsunamis. , typhoons and other natural forces.
To put it more vividly, using a triangle as a metaphor, the part exposed on the sea is just the top tip, and the large trapezoidal base invisible under the sea is the stable core.
Shapes as large as up and down can only appear in small local areas because the shapes are not stable enough to withstand the mighty force of nature.
Don’t even think about it the other way around. The large and small structure at the top and the bottom combined with the buoyancy of the sea water will not be able to hold it up. Let alone be as stable as a rock, even if it does not sink, it will drift with the waves like a floating island. .
But what is in front of them?
The stalactite-like structure hangs under the sea where the foundation should have been thick. It is long and short and has uneven layers, like an upside-down stone forest. There are also many holes between the stone pillars, forming large gaps, which created very good conditions for their previous escape.
"This..." Lin Fan frowned, "Is it possible that there is something below that we haven't detected?"
After guessing the world tree, the two of them consciously followed the navigation position and headed towards the land. Exploring, no more diving.
Speaking of which... it seems that there has never been any large-scale obstruction. The situation was urgent at the time and she didn't react. Looking at the model now, it was obvious that she had already penetrated deep into the hinterland of the land.
"Even if there is," Antonio curled his lips, "can this shape still be supported in the air? Newton's coffin board will not be able to cover it."
Ignore the unknown parts for now.
The clearly marked part is concave from the sea level all the way inland, as if someone had cut off a piece from the side. Coupled with the undetected blank area, the land of Tiandu Star really seems to be floating in mid-air.
Lin Fan pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and quickly turned over the geography-related knowledge in his mind. Jin Sichen held his chin and remained silent.
“Everyone,” the messenger standing aside spoke at this time, “Vice Admiral Cen also confessed that in the history of Tiandu Planet, there have been no large-scale geological disasters, no volcanic eruptions, and no earthquakes. , and even the few sea storms gradually dissipated or turned when approaching the land, please know.”
After saying that, the visitor nodded again, turned around and left.
Zhang Qiang gave it away with a bang, and Lin Fan put down the fork in his hand.
"He wants to remind us that these anomalies are related to the World Tree?" "How can it be related?" Antonio straightened up and said casually. "It's not like World Tree can even control natural disasters. It's just a biological server. It's not that godly, right? Why not just say that this piece of land grows on World Tree?"
He took a sip of wine and heard Jin Sichen say leisurely: "Why not?"
"Pfft!" Antonio sprayed it out in one gulp, no. Gu Linfan looked at him with disgust and wiped the wine stain from his mouth, "No, I'm joking."
"But I'm serious." Jin Sichen crossed his legs, crossed his hands, and leaned on the back of the chair , staring at the model projection that survived because it was too close, "Look, doesn't this part look like a tree crown?"
To say who is most familiar with World Tree, apart from Nv Chou, it must be Jin Sichen who has been waiting to communicate with her there for a long time.
Once this idea occurs, it will grow like a seedling that has taken root.
After Lin Fan asked people to remove all the food that was affected by the red hair, he also turned back to take a closer look. Don't tell me, the more you look at them, the more they look like each other.
If the missing parts are filled in according to the existing ones, although it is unreasonable, it does look like an inverted triangle crown, then the trunk is...
"But, what we used to do At that time, you didn't feel any obvious energy from the World Tree, right?" Antonio nudged Lin Fan with his elbow.
"No, but the situation in the sea..." Lin Fan thought for a while, "If the energy of the World Tree has been diluting and purifying harmful substances, then it seems normal that we can't feel the mutual cancellation, right?"
"Hey! You just accepted it like that?" Antonio's eyes widened, "I just said it casually! Is it so outrageous?!"
But thinking about Lan Xing's planet barrier, it seems...as if...maybe...it's not impossible that the World Tree can support a piece of land...
Seeing that both of them were thinking seriously, he also He gave up resisting: "Okay, just think you are complimenting me. Then shall we go to the center next?"
He pointed to the tree trunk in the void and asked.
"Is the last recorded location of the World Tree near here?" Lin Fan asked.
She operated on the tablet to display the names of places on the surface. After switching several times, she found the name she wanted.
"The corresponding positions seem to be about the same." Antonio looked down from the top, "If we really use this range as the fulcrum and ignore all reasonable premises, we can indeed achieve a certain stable balance."
Imagine that the World Tree is rooted in the bottom of the sea, using its thick trunks to support the entire continent...
I am inexplicably moved. What's the matter?
"So you think it's very likely that World Tree will go underground during the God-Destroying Operation? I'll send a message to Vice Admiral Cen right away." Jin Sichen's index finger flew and he quickly edited the message.
"Then let's go down from the ground next time?" Antonio was a little happy.
If he had a choice, he really didn’t want to go into that sea again.
Lin Fan stared at the model for a while, looked up at Antonio, and replied firmly.
“No, we still have to walk through the sea.”
Can anyone guess something from the content of this chapter? I don’t know if my imagination is big or small, but I just wrote it when I thought of it. Well, I’m doing great.
Make a fist.
