Chapter 380 Journey to the Center of the Earth II
Hansa and Dr. William took a team of researchers and a team of [executive officers] to dive 110 kilometers underground along the coordinates left by Xia Xiu. When they were wearing protective clothing When they came out of the exploration cabin, a pleasant sound of pigeons sounded in their ears, which sounded full of joy.
"Cuckoo--"
The one making the cry was a bird covered in a layer of golden holy light. Its body was shining with golden glory, and every feather A dove with a soft golden light. This dove's wings are wide and strong. Its body is a bit too strong, so that it doesn't look like a dove, but like a raptor.
The eyes of the doves made of holy light are red, like two shining rubies. At this moment, their red eyes reveal a burst of human enjoyment.
"Everyone, be careful!"
The accompanying Ioni stood directly in front of the researchers, and the other [Executive Officers] also drew their chainswords and faced the Holy Light Dove in front.
"This may be a native creature of the inner earth world. Doctors, please be careful..."
Ioni stared at the pigeon in front of her in preparation, while not forgetting to remind the researchers behind her People should be careful, but before she could finish her words, she saw Dr. William walking forward and trying to touch the pigeon.
“Such a big [Holy Spirit Pigeon]. This is the largest one I have ever seen. How on earth was this raised!”
As Dr. William spoke, he tried to touch the [Holy Spirit Dove] in front of him. When faced with the "obscenity", the [Holy Spirit Dove] directly raised its wings, slapped away the opponent's hands, then waved its wings and soared into the sky, red. His eyes seemed to be looking at everyone with arrogance and arrogance, gesturing for them to follow him.
"Ioni, follow up. That is the familiar that Lord Abraham contracted through "Asuka" when he was studying abroad in Deer Garden." Hansa, who was familiar with the early bombing deeds of the fourth sword-wielding man in the Kingdom of Heaven, said to him. Ioni explained.
"Yes." Ioni replied immediately.
So, a group of people followed the [Holy Spirit Dove] to the huge inland sea of the inner earth world, which was near the saltwater lake discovered by Xia Xiu.
On the edge of the inland sea, the golden beach stretches out. The sand is as soft as fine gold powder.
At this moment, there was a huge monster lying on the edge. Next to the monster, there was a huge capsule the size of half a basketball court. That was their temporary camp.
The inflatable walls outside the capsule expand, and the metal skeleton twists and interweaves like vines, fixing and supporting the unfolded structure. These liquid metal skeletons harden under the stimulation of electric current, forming a solid framework.
These skeletons support a huge transparent inflatable structure, like a giant translucent dome, with light passing through its top and reflecting various halos.
From the outside, the camp looks like a technological version of a jellyfish, living in this magical underground ocean. The metal skeleton around its edges gleams in the light, contrasting sharply with its underground surroundings.
"That's..."
Dr. William, who is quite knowledgeable, was once again shocked by the tyranny of the Kingdom of Heaven. This camp is composed of [Liquid Metal Skeleton] and [Air Wall], and the material on it is not certain even after working at the University of Michigan for fifty years. I can afford it if I can scrape together the money.
"That's the [Earth's Eye], a small quick-folding and unfolding camp device. It's a simplified version of the military folding device." Hansa explained to the bumpkin Dr. William.
"Hansa, you have always enjoyed this kind of work benefits, why can you be so embarrassed!!!" Dr. William turned his head dullly and looked at Hansa, his eyes were full of tears, it was envy. Tears mixed with jealousy.
Hearing this, Hansa, who is also a member of the Kingdom of Heaven, couldn't help but said in a surprised tone:
"What's wrong with this? We angels have enjoyed basic welfare for so many years, okay? Okay, don’t talk nonsense with your eyes open, it’s very difficult for us in heaven!
This trench? I have been in the Kingdom of Heaven for so many years, and I know best how much work there is in the Kingdom of Heaven. I almost died suddenly while working overtime. I have had this kind of basic welfare for so many years. Where is the flaw?
William, sometimes you have to find the reasons yourself. Over the years, there have not been many thaumaturgy research and journals published. Have you seriously studied ether and contributed to your family's genealogy? Find out the reasons yourself. Our kingdom of heaven has had this kind of basic welfare for so many years. Why do you feel so embarrassed? ”
Looking at Hansa with a surprised face and looking at him like a country bumpkin, Dr. William only felt that his whole body was not well. He really wanted to punch him in the face. These angels are indeed a group that makes people hate them.
“Let’s go, I will take you to see the internal facilities of [Earth’s Center Eye]. They are all basic equipment, nothing at all. Is the trench good or not? ”
Under the leadership of Hansa, the country bumpkin Dr. William who had never seen the world walked into the Eye of the Earth camp.
When they entered the camp, the 3D holographic communication interface stretched out from the central control cabin to provide information to the personnel at any time; and the miniature air purification and circulation system squirmed in the wall, like a breathing mouth.
Hansa took off his helmet, and the others followed suit.
“The Eye of the Earth has adaptive temperature control. It can absorb the surrounding geothermal energy, convert it into energy, and cool or heat according to internal needs; it also has an internal water purification and circulation system to collect The wastewater discharged by personnel is re-supplied after purification; the internal walls are covered with thin-film solar panels, which are used to simulate photosynthesis to provide oxygen and generate food.
At the same time, there is a quantum anchor underground in the camp. The depth provides a stable anchor for the camp, preventing it from shifting due to tectonic movements. The outer material of the camp effectively reflects and absorbs radiation, and the atmosphere inside removes harmful substances through a special air purification system.”
Hansa continued to introduce to William and other [executives] who had also not seen much of the world:
"The main facilities of the Earth's Core Eye can be divided into three parts: the living cabin, the working cabin and the core control cabin. Each part can be independently inflated and deployed. Your Excellency Abraham should be in the working cabin now, which is a composite working place, surgery Facilities and experimental facilities overlap in this area."
Hansa brought a large number of people to the work cabin. When they arrived at the work cabin, they saw people wearing white surgical gowns. The young man with blond hair and golden eyes in rubber gloves took off his mask and slowly walked towards them from the side of an operating table. On the operating table, there was a dismembered body with multiple parts including the brain structure. Organ structure.
"You are here." Xia Xiu used [Private Customization] to change his surgical clothes into normal clothes.
"Sir Abraham, that is the organ of the earth creature lying outside the camp. You have finished the dissection. Can you share the relevant data?" Dr. William said, looking at the operating table with gleaming eyes. .
"I have uploaded the data to the public database. You can apply to view it at any time if you want."
Xia Xiu said as he led the group to the spacious rest area. He sat on the inflatable mattress and motioned for others to sit on the nearby inflatable mattress.
"The creatures in the center of the earth are very wonderful. They are definitely not species that develop naturally. The monster I dissected has a structure similar to that of sea heirs. It is a special compact membrane that can It also has heat-dissipating fins to help it resist the huge external pressure. These fin-like structures are scattered on the body of the creature to help them dissipate excess heat and maintain core body temperature."
Xia Xiu said. , while stroking the head of the [Holy Spirit Pigeon] who came in with the others, the pigeon narrowed his eyes comfortably and began to enjoy the touch of his boss. At the same time, he did not forget to remember the memories of himself and other [Holy Spirit Pigeons] flying outside. Share it with your boss. "Is it true that the Haidescendant civilization is related to the Ancient Ones civilization? If true, it is really another amazing discovery in the history of biology." Dr. William couldn't help but sigh and make wonderful metaphors.
“It’s still unclear whether they have legs or not. In addition to the characteristics of animals, these inner-earth creatures also have the characteristics of plants. There is something similar inside them It is due to the special structure of chloroplasts, but it uses geothermal heat or other chemical reactions to produce energy instead of photosynthesis; there is also a multifunctional reproductive sac inside, which enables organisms to reproduce in a variety of ways, including hatching, viviparous and deciduous reproduction. ”
Xia Xiu recalled the content of the anatomy and speculated:
“We can speculate that the ancient civilization is a highly intelligent species with characteristics of both animals and plants. It is very advanced in biotechnology. Powerful, it is conceivable that almost all species in the inner earth world were created and transformed by them, and the internal environment of the inner earth world was also transformed by them."
The blond young man said, Bian pointed to the top of his head.
“When everyone comes in, they must be able to see the most conspicuous thing in the earth’s inner world at first sight—the sun.”
“In an earth’s inner world, the cycle of day and night is very important. Interesting question, the eternal sun is too hot, both for the center of the earth and the surface.
And due to the lack of a real sun, day and night here must be different from the cycles we are used to based on the rise and fall of the sun. Considering that the "core sun" is the main source of light and heat in the inner earth world, the ancient civilization needs to build a day and night mechanism based on the activity of this ore. "
Hearing the words of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, Hansa, who is also a researcher, also followed this logic and speculated:
"Indeed, the day and night cycle mechanism is very important to a civilization. , when I was studying at [Nursery College], the classic topic I encountered was the deduction of civilized thinking on "Assumptions and Simulations of How Humans Will Survive Under Three Suns." During the deduction process, the biggest problem we encountered was the day-night cycle. mechanism.
This seems to be a simple rule problem that all Terrans are accustomed to, but it is the biggest difficulty faced by the development of civilization.
If the suns of other civilizations could rise and set normally like the sun on Terra, with regular day and night changes, and a mild and suitable climate, civilization would develop and continue steadily; conversely, if the day and night cycle mechanism The duration is extremely unstable, it may be hundreds of years or it may be a day.
It may come suddenly or it may end suddenly.
The sun may set shortly after rising, or rise shortly after setting. At the last moment of setting, the world is still shrouded in night and cold, and people have to huddle around the bonfire to resist Cold; the next moment, a big sun rises in the blink of an eye, and the temperature rises sharply.
People must find the shadow of the backlight in time, or soak in the water to spend the hot weather. In a climate environment where hot and cold alternate, civilization cannot develop and survive.
If civilization wants to develop, then - the sun must nod for civilization. ”
If Yaoyang cannot nod for the weak civilization, then the only thing that will greet civilization is destruction.
Dr. William also joined the discussion at this time. He thought for a while and soon came up with the most reasonable way to distort the ARad field.
“[Radiation Pulse] and [Floating Layer]!!!”
Dr. William looked at the fourth sword holder in heaven excitedly and said excitedly to him:
< br>"You should be able to feel the fluctuations of EVE particles and the drastic changes in radiation."
"Yes." Xia Xiu nodded. He raised his left hand and wore a multi-function bracelet on it. A round twenty-four hour counter.
"Dr. William's hypothesis is the same as mine. We speculate that the core sun of the earth's inner world has irregular [radiation pulses]. This radiation is formed by the distortion of the ARad field. The specific role of the radiation is: in high radiation pulses During this period, it forces the core Sun to release more light and heat, creating the "day" of the inner Earth, while during the low-radiation pulse, the amount of light and heat released decreases, creating the "night" of the inner Earth.
The [floating layer] is: a layer of translucent floating material surrounding the core sun, similar to sunspots or solar flares. These materials block or weaken the light of the core sun from time to time, causing an eclipse-like effect. This will assist the radiation pulse to create a short night.
What we have to do now is to stay for one Terran natural day. I have asked [Adam] to count and detect it, and he will speculate based on the day and night cycle of the inner earth world. The [pulse period] is to measure the relative time of high radiation pulse (daytime) and low radiation pulse (night). As for why it is only relative time, it is because of [floating layer activity]
In addition to [pulse]. Period], the activity of [floating layer] also affects day and night. For example, if floating material suddenly accumulates in one place and blocks the core sun, there will be a sudden eclipse effect, that is, a short night. This situation may not be common. , but it is enough to add many unnecessary variables to the day and night cycle of the inner earth world."
Xia Xiu looked at the researchers including Dr. Hansa and William, and he could see the excitement and joy in their eyes. Excited, extremely strong thirst for knowledge, curiosity, and an eager desire to explore the truth and the unknown.
"Everyone, I need to reiterate the main mission itinerary of this time."
"First, explore the ruins of the ancient civilization.
Second, look for [Behemoth] and Mecha. The Broken Parts and the "Deep Sea Sacrifice Book" of the Deep Divers
Third: Search for the out-of-control [Shoggoth] population and conduct a civilization assessment.
Fourth: Excavate history and investigate. The complex relationship between ancient civilizations, the God of Machines, the Lord of R'lyeh, etc."
"Everyone, please don't forget the priorities because you are so excited about the discovery of a new civilization."
After Xia Xiu finished speaking, he looked at the many researchers, and they all nodded in disapproval. Yes, but their behavior at the moment is similar to those students who are approaching the end of get out of class and show a perfunctory attitude when facing the teacher's after-school homework assignments. People are in the classroom, but their hearts are already flying freely outside.
Seeing this, Xia Xiu could only sigh, and at the same time couldn't help but secretly thought:
"I know a lot, but I still want to know everything; pursuing the truth and exploring the unknown are always the same. It is the most simple and ignorant virtue of seekers.”
