Chapter 247 The First Raw Stone Mine
Going east from the Throne of Rulership, there are arid mountains along the way, with no grass growing, and a sharp turn leads to a barren mountain of black rocks.
Ahead are cliffs and the deep blue ocean.
This is the southeast coast.
The map of Citizen Hill shows that this sea area is an acute-angled triangle to the north and goes deep into the depths of the continent. Half of it is on the Yunji Continent and the other half is on the Longzhu Continent.
This side of Yunji Continent, along the coastline to the north, is full of barren mountains.
The raw stone deposits are distributed in the mountainous areas behind the mountains, and the specific scope is uncertain.
According to Ye Xiang’s God-given Seed, when the Zerg warriors searched for ore and mined here during the Force Period, they could only rely on flame spider traders to carry fresh water and food across more than a thousand kilometers of rocky and barren mountains. Deliver supplies.
From the on-site inspection, the conditions were more difficult than imagined.
Long Bai controlled the throne, hovering high in the sky, looking at the calm sea below, smelling the smelly sea breeze, and was in a good mood.
"Mo Lan, I understand." Long Bai was in high spirits.
“Ang——”
According to the usual practice, Mo Lan should ask ‘understand what’.
Mo Lan did not cooperate and felt worried looking at the undulating mountains.
Long Bai: "The water vapor in the ocean rises with the heat flow, and is carried away by the air flow in the upper air heading northeast. The water vapor is taken to the northeast, so there are no clouds and rain in the southeast. Drought and water shortage.”
Mo Lan: "Oh——"
Mo Lan: "But, how should we search for it? Dig up one peak after another to check?"
The distribution of raw stone deposits here is completely unknown. There is a pattern, and it is almost impossible to detect it deep underground.
Long Bai: "This is the only way."
Long Bai: "Looking for the place of the Force!"
Mo Lan: "What happens after you find it?"
Long Bai: "Arrange worker ants and soldier ants to dig."
Long Bai: "Mo Lan, you still don't understand. Compared with flame spiders, It will be much more convenient for us to transport supplies."
Long Bai: "The flame spider can only walk on the ground, and the road is difficult. The throne of control can fly in the air."
< br>Mo Lan thought for a while and agreed: "Yes. Although I can't transport much at one time, I fly very slowly."
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai: "We still have blue ants and refined food."
Mo Lan: "That's right."
Mo Lan He shook the ice and fire kettle and said: "We still have the ice and fire kettle, so we don't need to transport fresh water all the way."
The ice and fire kettle is a profit.
The Throne of Control stopped on the edge of the cliff, rested for one night, and set off early the next morning to continue eastward.
After half a day’s flight, a colorful halo appeared in the distant sky.
After another half-day's flight, we arrived at the divine power barrier on the east side of Yunji Continent. There was no force at all, indicating that the Dragon Bamboo Continent next door was also in a period of force silence.
There is vast sea on all sides.
The throne of control hovered over the sea. Long Bai jumped down and stood on the sea, exploring downwards with his mental power.
The divine power barrier goes downwards, straight to the bottom of the sea.
The throne of control turned its direction and faced the south against the divine barrier.
After another day's flight, we arrived at the intersection of the two divine barriers dividing the northern and southern hemispheres and the eastern and western hemispheres.
The Force is infiltrating!
“The continents in the southern hemisphere are in the age of the Force!”
"Isn't that strange."
"Is there a starship that spans the two continents, connecting the two continents?"
"Can a starship float on the sea?"
< br>"Yes--" Mo Lan, who had just been excited, drooped his tentacles and asked: "Long Bai, where are you going next?"
Long Bai: "Look further north."
The ocean climate is extreme, and there are giant beasts in the sea.
Long Bai did not dare to park his throne on the sea to sleep and rest, so he turned around and flew northwest, landed on land, followed the coastline, and headed north.
After another 4-day flight, the ocean has reached the end, and there is a plain oasis in front of us.
Go west, then stick to the divine barrier and continue north, arriving at the location of the starship that once connected the Yunji Continent and the Longzhu Continent, as Huang Ya said. The starship was taken away by the God of Nature. The wreckage did not reappear due to the silence of the Force.
After some exploration, it was already late autumn, and Long Bai basically figured out the situation in the southeast region.
The throne of control headed south, heading straight to the southeast coast, entering the tropical area again, zigzagging on the road, conducting investigations and searches.
Half a month passed by in a blur.
At dusk, Mo Lan, who was bored and playing with the rose ring, suddenly raised her head, stood up, twitched her antennae, and raised her paws to point.
"Long Bai! Over there! Force fluctuations! Finally found it!"
"Okay!"
Long Bai had an idea and controlled the direction of the throne to speed up.
Enter the place of force late at night.
High-altitude reconnaissance, no fluctuations in the Force plants were detected.
Long Bai directly landed the ruling throne on the top of the mountain, flew over and searched at a low altitude, but found only bare barren hills, not a single blade of grass or a single tree.
It is a dead place where there is constant heat and drought, and life is extinct.
The area is not small, with an oval shape, a long axis of six or seven kilometers, a short axis of four or five kilometers, and the concentration of the force is not low. Counting the low-concentration active area formed by the spread of the Force to all directions, the overall area exceeds 35 square kilometers.
Rest for a short while and then take a closer look at dawn the next day.
No caves found.
“This area should have never been explored.” Long Bai was very satisfied.
Mo Lan asked: "Long Bai, do you want to look for it now? Or continue to look for the land of the force?"
Long Bai: "Continue to go south, looking for the land of the force."
< br>Long Bai: "Next time you come here, bring Heiti and a group of worker ants and blue ants. Under the command of Heiti, they will dig holes up and down the mountains and conduct a detailed survey."
Mo Lan had an idea and said: "Then let's name this place 'Original Stone Mountain'? Once the name is chosen, we will definitely gain something!"
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai: "It's better to name it 'No. 1 Raw Stone Mine'."
Long Bai explained: "Even if there is no discovery of the force here, it can be used as a place to supplement the original force for the throne in the future." We can use this place as the center, control the throne, and explore around, and we will definitely find it." Mo Lan nodded vigorously and agreed, "It's better to call it. 'The first rough stone mine'. If a second place of force is found, it is called the 'second rough stone mine'; and if a third place of force is found, it is called the 'third rough stone mine'. And so on."
Long Bai: "..."
Long Bai: "Okay."
Long Bai shook his tentacles and said, "Make two pieces of ice to cool down. Let's rest for a while and then we'll set off."
After a short rest, the Dominion Throne took off again and searched southward.
Five days later, no harvest.
Late autumn is about to enter winter.
Long Bai and Mo Lan gave up temporarily and returned straight to Xianglan Mountain.
After packing my bags, I came to Bailian Lake, where the Night Incense God-given Seed was in stable condition.
Continue to go north and enter Yinbai Mountain to complete this year's traveling merchant transaction.
Go to Citi Mountain again, trade with yellow skewers and spruce trees, inform them of the situation in the southeastern coastal areas of Yunji Continent, and after discussion, set off for the Purple Tilia Insect Country.
