To connect the two areas of the earth's center and the surface, the best way Chen Lin could imagine at this time was to use a phase portal.
This thing was originally found from the crashed Sunshine spacecraft. Subsequently, the Red Dragon Association sent people to study it. There was an accident in the process, which caused Chen Lin to be infected with Kara The virus almost died...
He told the on-site project team staff about his idea, and the staff immediately said that this method was very suitable.
The application was sent out immediately. Chen Lin and Lin Yun were talking while looking at the images captured by the omnic drone in the inner earth world.
The inner earth world is indeed extremely magnificent. Lin Yun once said before that there is no sun in the inner earth world. This is indeed proved by the pictures taken by the omnic drone at this time.
There are a large number of magma landforms and inland sea areas like blue starfish in the inner earth world, and the light in this world is actually emitted by lightning storms floating in the sky. Purple clouds accumulate in the "sky", among which are shining Thunder and lightning emit extremely dazzling light, illuminating the entire inner earth world.
The omnic drones tried their best to avoid these unique cloud structures, but one of the omnics still discovered through its own unique detection device that there seemed to be some kind of creature hidden in the clouds.
After the biometric scanner scanned it, they were surprised to find that it turned out to be some kind of huge flying beast!
Its shape resembles that of a python, but it has two wings on its back. The fleshy wings are connected to the torso. When fully opened, it looks like it blocks out the sky and the sun. The group of people at the scene were shocked.
They thought that the Leviathan creatures were already the absolute overlords in the inner earth world. Who would have thought that there are still these guys.
It's just that the omnic drone flew many times around the outside of the clouds, but they didn't see these big guys flying out of the clouds, so everyone suspected that these giant winged snakes might only survive in the clouds. Anyway, there are speculations and all.
Chen Lin and Lin Yun did not participate in this type of topic. The two privately exchanged information about the creature they saw. Chen Lin guessed that it should be some kind of special place that absorbs energy. Mental creatures accumulate in the clouds to absorb energy for survival. As for saying that they can only survive in it, it is probably nonsense.
Lin Yun agreed with his statement, and added: "These creatures should have no direct communication and conflict with the Leviathans in the inner sea, otherwise the Leviathans would have reached the inner world of the earth. At that time, they should have a fierce battle with these cloud creatures."
Chen Lin nodded: "After all, it is a closed environment with only so many total resources, and a group of foreign creatures suddenly came. , Logically speaking, these guys should have a direct conflict with them."
"But I think the meaning conveyed in the voice of the Sea Emperor Leviathan is that they have not suffered at all when they arrived in the inner earth world. A little conflict.”
"Then there is a high probability that there is no obvious point of conflict between these creatures!"
Chen Lin said with a smile: "The native earth core creatures are most likely to survive by absorbing radiation or lightning energy. , it doesn’t care at all about the so-called prey being preyed on in other ecosystems in the inner earth world.”
The two people reached an agreement on this topic, and they studied the land area around the inland sea. There are still many inner earth creatures.
Every inch of the earth's inner world exudes dazzling light, and various strange rocks and gems exist in various strange forms on the ground.
Some are like huge crystal pillars, some are like huge sculptures inlaid with countless gems, and some are like streams and waterfalls solidified by flowing gem liquid.
Like a world of crystals and gems, these unique rocks and gems emit a charming light that illuminates many land areas, forming a dreamlike world.
At a sudden glance, the purple lightning and the various refraction and reflections of the ground crystals make people feel like they are in a fairy tale world.
And on this magnificent land, there are also various geocentric creatures like gem monsters living - their shapes are so unique that Chen Lin and Lin Yun felt like it when they first saw it. Extremely magical.
Their bodies have different shapes, some seem to be made of crystal, and some seem to be carved from gems. Their shape does not look like living creatures, but more like some kind of gem spirit.
Most of the stone monsters run unscrupulously on the land. They are integrated with the surrounding environment. If they stop on the ground at any time, the omnic drone will easily lose its main target.
These stone monsters have a unique protective mechanism in which their skin absorbs the color and light of their surroundings, making them virtually indistinguishable from their surroundings when stationary.
These stone monsters run extremely fast, even like lightning when they shuttle across the land.
Their footsteps are light and powerful, allowing them to run steadily even on rough terrain.
However, these stone monsters are not invincible, they also have their own weaknesses.
Although their skin can absorb the color and light of the surrounding environment, they will temporarily lose their ability to move during the absorption process. These little gem monsters communicate with each other by making unique sounds, which can be heard in the air. spread over long distances, allowing them to stay in contact and support each other.
Chen Lin also tried to listen to these sounds and found that they were almost the same as the sounds of wild beasts, and he could not understand them.
After a long period of observation, everyone gradually figured out the main living habits of these inner earth creatures.
Its core food source is mainly plants and fruits on land. These plants and fruits also emit a charming light and form a harmonious symbiotic relationship with the earth's core creatures. The gem monster's daily job is to rummage All kinds of stones that sparkle with strange light, and then pile these stones in a circle around your own food plants.
These stones will accelerate the growth of the plant and produce fruit at an extremely fast speed. Then the fruit will eventually be eaten by these gem monsters, which cannot digest the core block inside - everyone has speculated that Maybe it's a special stone.
These stones were either pulled out by the gem monster or left in its stomach, and its size also slightly increased slightly in the process.
The largest gem monster discovered by the omnic drone is about 22 meters tall. It is almost a small giant. After all, it is as high as seven or eight floors.
Three days later, the Blue Star Hollow Project Team held its first joint meeting.
The speakers at the conference briefly summarized the newly discovered inner earth world - "The ecosystem of the inner earth world is a complex and unique existence, which consists of multiple interdependent biological communities. "In this world, energy flow and material circulation operate in a completely different way from the earth's surface. Because it is a fully enclosed structure, many things are disposable and irreversible. . ”
“Now I will briefly introduce the progress of our current exploration of the inner earth world.”
"What is currently certain is that the energy of the inner earth world mainly comes from the thermal energy and geothermal activities inside the blue starfish. This energy penetrates into the inner earth world through cracks and pores in the earth's crust, providing light and heat for living things. In addition, the core of the earth There is also a special kind of radioactive mineral in the world that emits a soft light and provides additional energy to the ecosystem."
"The purple lightning storm clouds in the sky are not actually clouds, but a kind of cloud. The purple lightning flashing inside the floating material formed by rich gas and mixed matter is actually the violent chemical reaction that occurs inside the floating material, which produces a dazzling light."
"This is true. Supplementing the light of the inner earth world."
The spokesperson paused briefly, and then said: "According to our current detection findings, the biological communities in the inner earth world include a variety of species that are adapted to extreme environments. Creatures. These creatures can survive in high temperature and high pressure environments, including: Leviathan creatures and stone monsters. These creatures have gem-like skin, can blend with the surrounding environment, and are good at running on land and Ambush. "
"Aquatic creatures are located in the inland sea of the inner earth world. They should be various aquatic creatures that adapt to high temperature and high salinity environments. Together with Leviathan creatures, they constitute the ecosystem of the inland sea. ”
"At the same time, we also discovered a large winged snake with a special body structure that can float naturally in the floating material layer just mentioned. We have not been able to successfully photograph the specific appearance of this creature, but its shape is very similar. The Quetzalcoatl in the Mayan legend.”
Everyone at the scene showed a hint of disbelief. They were amazed that such a magical creature existed in the inner world of the Blue Sea Star.
“Let’s briefly talk about the environmental content. The environmental factors in the inner earth world play an important role in the composition of the ecosystem. The temperature in the inner earth world is very high, which is extremely harmful to the survival and reproduction of organisms. A big challenge, but we found that these creatures in the inner earth world have perfectly adapted to this high temperature environment, and their body structures and physiological functions have undergone corresponding changes."
"Levi who entered it later. In fact, due to their very high physical strength and strong adaptability, Leviathan creatures also have special sea dragon Leviathan. These creatures can even survive in magma, which makes them not afraid of the center of the earth at all. The world's environment quickly adapted to it."
"The pressure in the inner earth world is very high, but it is precisely because the bodies of Leviathan creatures are very strong and can withstand huge pressure. Make sure they are fine.”
"However, according to our current detection, the water quality in the inner earth world is completely different from the water quality on the surface of the blue starfish. It contains a large amount of minerals and radioactive substances, which causes subtle changes in the physiological functions and metabolism of organisms. Leviathan It is very likely that similar changes have occurred in the biological groups, which require careful subsequent testing before we can confirm it."
Chen Lin also nodded. The professional team of the association is still very capable, and accordingly. All kinds of tests and data were displayed on the screen at this time, and everyone participating in the meeting could see it. People in various subjects couldn't help but marveled after seeing it. They were quite surprised by many data in the inner earth world.
"By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be explained to everyone."
"The organisms in the inner earth world can use radioactive minerals as energy sources. These minerals circulate in the body of the organism and are eventually converted. It is an organic substance. The gem monster itself eats these radioactive minerals, and the vegetation turns out to be radioactive."
"The prey that the Leviathans eat every day also contains huge amounts of radiation, so we. We need to seriously consider whether to use phase portals to bring them back from the inner earth world.”
There was a lot of discussion below.
Chen Lin, on the other hand, carefully looked at the discussion about the transformation of the inner earth world that was deduced in front of him.
According to inference, creatures in the inner earth world can absorb the energy in radioactive minerals through special physiological mechanisms to survive and maintain.
Their cellular structure contains a special enzyme that reacts with radioactive isotopes in radioactive minerals and converts them into chemical energy that organisms can use.
This process of energy conversion is similar to the process by which organisms on the earth's surface convert light energy or chemical energy into organic matter through photosynthesis or chemical synthesis.
The converted energy is stored in the cells of organisms for use in life activities.
Similarly, these energies can be used for life processes such as cell division, protein synthesis, and movement.
At the same time, organisms can also store this energy in case of emergency needs, such as in response to environmental changes or food shortages.
The organisms in the inner earth world use the converted energy to synthesize organic substances.
They convert inorganic substances into organic substances, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, through a series of complex biochemical processes.
These organic substances are necessary for organisms to maintain life activities. They constitute the cell structure of organisms, provide the energy and material basis required for life activities, and are also necessary components for the existence of various types of organisms in the inner earth world.
Radioactive isotopes in radioactive minerals circulate in living organisms and are eventually converted into organic matter.
After these organic substances are utilized in the living body, they will be released through the metabolic process of the living body and enter the environment in the inner earth world.
These organic materials can be utilized by other organisms, thus forming an overall closed-loop material cycle in the core ecosystem.
After reading, Chen Lin raised her head and looked at Lin Yun beside her. At this time, she was paying attention to the recent performance of the Leviathan biota. The newly introduced omnics have many improved features. New function, at this time they have designed the sound wave analysis device according to Chen Lin's guidance, and successfully established a communication channel with the Poseidon Leviathan.
Even Chen Lin didn't expect this to happen so quickly.
With the advancement of new technology, some of the abilities he has mastered have become less competitive.
This is really unacceptable. (End of this chapter)
