"It's much easier to jump from the top down than to climb up in the air."
After the voice-over ended, Catalina immediately expressed her thoughts and moved her eyes away from the ruined city of Harmono.
It's not that she isn't interested in this city.
But between finding a way to get down and observing the city inside the dust beast, she understood that the former was obviously more important.
Ronald also expressed his thoughts
"If we go down, we have to plan the route in advance."
"The height difference in these places is quite large. It is easy for us to jump down, but difficult to come up. Once we choose the wrong direction, we may be directly trapped and die."
This is a very real problem, and it is also a very difficult test.
The suspension bridges scattered throughout the space are different in length and thickness, and they can be distinguished clearly when viewed from a close distance.
But once you look far away...
This kind of suspension bridge without obvious lines or special decorations will become lines intersecting in the air. Even distinguishing their distance and height will become a very difficult task.
Especially since Ronald and Catalina don't have the help of extraordinary perception right now.
Under the observation of ordinary people's eyesight, this is obviously not a simple task. Sometimes once you remember the wrong route, it often means that all the previous work is annihilated.
It’s quite a draining thing, both mentally and physically.
Soon, Catalina realized that this was not her area of expertise, so she decisively handed over the task to her companions:
"Ronald, I'm dazzled by this thing. You work first while I take a rest."
Ronald turned around and saw that Catalina had really not lied to him!
Because the eyes of the astronomy tower master had turned into a spiral shape due to the interference from the "Maze Picture Book", he was probably not far away from fainting on the spot.
Can a job that is difficult for two people handle be handled by one person?
Ronald didn't have any heroic complex, and he immediately judged that he must not be able to do it either.
For the current plan, we must find another way to crack the maze of this space.
Otherwise, the two of them would have to waste their time on this observation session.
Ronald changed his gaze, broke away from the suspension bridge, and began to look for other possible solutions.
However, the monotonous space does not contain any unnecessary hints or details.
After a few minutes, Ronald had to accept the reality that he had gained nothing. He wanted to continue to find something in this space, but there was really no possibility of proceeding here.
At the same time, Catalina got up from the ground after resting for a while:
"How's it going? Is there any result?"
"If it still doesn't work, tell me the result. We'll take turns. This time it's your time to rest."
Take turns...
An idea flashed in Ronald's mind, and he grabbed it immediately.
"Katerina, it is impossible to pass such a complex structure in one go just by observing it. Maybe we should change our approach."
"Is it too difficult to pass through in one go?" Just hearing these words from Ronald, Catalina understood what the man in front of her was thinking, "So you plan to divide this maze into sections, and then descend in batches.
?”
"Ronald, I must remind you that this decision is very dangerous!"
In fact, the two of them knew about Catalina's reminder from the beginning.
In a maze with this kind of structure, you descend in stages. Once you make a wrong jump choice, you will quickly fall into trouble, and your landing spot will become an island in the sky that you can't get up or get down from.
"Did you just say to be brave?"
Ronald first teased Catalina, and then revealed his own way of dealing with this problem:
"Don't worry, I'm not unprepared."
"When we descend, we treat about fifty meters as a stage. This can not only reduce the burden of observation, but also maintain accuracy to a certain extent in larger-scale route exploration."
After talking about the plan, Ronald immediately changed his tone:
"I know this is definitely not a 100% foolproof plan, but in the current situation, we have no better choice."
This time Catalina did not open her mouth to refute.
Instead, the Tower Master of the Astronomy Department reached out and patted Ronald on the back, saying simply:
"Now that we've decided, let's get started!"
Ronald looked stunned for a moment, but quickly nodded and replied:
"good."
Next, the two began to act according to the plan formulated by Ronald.
The fifty-meter range was decided quite cleverly, and it was carried out just as Ronald had imagined. It probably ensured the selection of the route when descending, and at the same time, the observation was not too difficult.
Jump off a suspension bridge, then walk forward on the straight road until you reach the three-dimensional intersection point of the next suspension bridge at your current location, and then continue jumping off.
Repeat this action.
Taking safety into consideration, this maze downhill didn't even feel like a challenge, but rather felt like a game.
The first fifty meters, one hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters...
Ronald and Catalina were like game characters from the FC era, moving downward bit by bit, landing steadily and safely.
However, the well-organized plan eventually faced new tests.
When the two of them descended to the limit of 300 meters, this time they did not leave and devote themselves to the work of finding the road. Instead, they frowned.
"Ronald, the suspension bridge below is starting to narrow." Catalina explained the situation.
"All the suspension bridges that can be seen are getting narrower. This does not mean that we have chosen the wrong road." Ronald also made a judgment.
The current situation is just like what the two discussed.
The suspension bridges of 300 meters ago were wide enough for trucks to run on them, and narrower ones for people to lie down and sleep on.
Ranwen
But from here on down, this situation gradually disappears.
A two-meter-wide suspension bridge is almost the limit, and a narrower one can barely reach one meter.
Jump directly to a place like this.
If you lose your balance and do somersaults on the ground, you may fall immediately.
Catalina spread her hands, and the helplessness on her face quickly turned into a smile of joy. She was not afraid of challenges.
"It's good now, another safety consideration has been added."
"Can't this thing be simpler and let us go over and have a rest first?"
"We want to seal this dust behemoth, and it is natural for the other party to resist." Ronald also looked at it with a clear mind, and immediately returned to a state of concentration, "In short, we must be more careful now. While descending,
In addition to route considerations, safety must also be considered.”
Acting cautiously brought rewards, and Ronald and the others did not stumble here.
Another hundred and fifty meters later.
The ruined city of Harmono below was quite close, and they could even see a suspension bridge that happened to be connected to a tree on the edge of the city.
But at such an exciting moment.
Ronald and the other two did not move forward, but stopped at their current position.
