With a storm chasing behind them, everyone did not dare to waste time after arriving at the Rainbow Bridge and chose to teleport immediately. The camp here is also the camp with the fewest records. Only the Rainbow Bridge can survive such a storm.
Amid the invasion, it remained intact for tens of millions of years. After their teleportation was completed, what they came to again was a broken suspended continent.
"This is Wat Alheim. According to the records of previous explorers, the continent here has been broken and the gravity is chaotic. The entire continent has been cut into two halves, with only huge roots connecting each other in the middle. This is also a reference to
The biggest test for our car is how to pass through the independent broken continent. This is the biggest problem we will face next.
Before this, the exploration teams were all on foot, and the mountaineering equipment they carried with them could help them overcome these rugged obstacles. But now we not only have off-road vehicles, but also tracked vehicles, so the difficulty of passing through those areas has greatly increased.
."
Wendell took the lead in explaining the situation of this continent to everyone.
Helena took out the magic equipment and checked the surrounding environment for a while, with an expression of joy on her face: "We can stay here for a little longer. This time we have plenty of food and water. And the magic here is
The radiation intensity is lower than that in Midgard.
We can completely turn off the talisman and rely solely on the sealing of the vehicle to resist the invasion of radiation. We can take this opportunity to send drones to survey the surrounding environment and draw maps. Combined with the maps left by our predecessors, we can
A more detailed topographic map of Wat Alheim was left behind."
Everyone also agrees with this view. Apart from the abnormal gravity, this continent is actually relatively suitable for human survival. When the original light seekers found this place, they actually had the idea of immigrating here.
However, the shield could not be relocated and the protection of the shield was lost. It was still too difficult for humans to survive independently in such a wasteland. Therefore, the trip failed in the end. However, with relatively sufficient food and water sources, it was possible to find
It is entirely possible for the Lighter team to rest here for a while, and it is reasonable to take this opportunity to investigate the surrounding environment.
Lan Nuo also nodded: "Wendel told me about the situation in each country before. I have designed the environment of each country. We have special lighting facilities on the car. Next, I will release it, and then
Relying on the drone on the roof of the car to cruise the entire country, taking pictures and drawing precise maps, the magic energy can only store the map images for a short period of time.
Tanarosa, you should be able to draw maps. Come with me and draw these maps as quickly as possible."
While everyone was still wondering what preparations he had made in advance, a small hot air balloon had been released from the roof of the off-road vehicle. It looked as big as the off-road vehicle, but it was actually made of extremely light fabric that was folded and then inflated.
Expansion is what it becomes.
Like a huge Kongming Lantern, the hot air balloon flew into the sky. It flew higher and higher, and flew towards the center of the continent under the control of magic.
"Such a small light can't illuminate the entire country. What's the use of letting it fly?" Someone couldn't help but asked curiously.
However, his curiosity was soon answered. As the drone took off, the seemingly dim Kongming Lantern in the sky suddenly shined brightly.
"I actually hung a flare on it. The fuel inside was enough to keep burning for about five minutes. The magnesium burned violently, so most of the continent was illuminated in this short period of time.
I also carry several such flares. I will release them one after another until we draw a complete map. With the map, we can plan a route out of this rugged terrain.
A route that can be directly passed by cars."
Everyone nodded repeatedly. If there was a complete map, then these troublesome problems would be solved.
With the strong light shining on it, the drone was able to capture a complete image at high altitude. After a moment, as the lights went out, the drone returned to the vehicle, and everyone immediately began to draw a map based on the returned images.
Lanno was obviously the most professional, and Tanarosa also had relevant professional skills as a scholar. The others could only draw blindly based on the pictures. Try to ensure that as many details as possible were recorded before the pictures disappeared.
After a while of fussing, everyone roughly got a topographic map of a quarter of the area. With these topographic maps, the next actions will be much easier.
Several more flares were released one after another. The effect was also very significant. A map of the entire continent was drawn. Most of the roots connecting the two continents were rugged and difficult to pass, but there were still a few that were relatively flat.
Vehicles can pass through.
After everyone planned the road, they found that the most feasible road also had a platform with a height difference of about five meters.
If it cannot cross this platform, the car will not be able to move forward.
Facing this platform, everyone also made two preparations. One was to use existing tools to pile soil under the platform to create a slope. If there was such a slope, it would be possible for the car to drive directly up it.
But the drop is still a bit too big, and the surrounding locations where soil can be retrieved are not too close. Even if there are vehicles to help transport it, it will take too long to build a slope that is too long. Obviously, a lot of materials will be wasted here.
It's not really worth it.
So another parallel plan is to drill holes in the rocks above the slope to build a stable platform. Then place a winch on the platform. As long as a slope is slightly built, you can use the winch to force the car from the slope.
Pull it up.
After making the plan, everyone set off immediately. After really seeing the hope of going to Asgard, even the few bad gamblers who reluctantly joined in were full of motivation at this moment. If they can go back alive
, that is definitely a return to their hometown with honor. No matter what ridiculous things they did in the first half of their lives, they will become heroes of the entire civilization in the future.
Before and after arriving at the cliff with a huge drop, everyone began to borrow vehicles for transportation, transporting baskets of soil to the bottom of the cliff. The 5m drop did not sound like a big difference, but in fact it required a lot of earthwork. They lacked suitable building materials.
, if they simply pile up an earth slope, they must expand it in three directions at the same time. This will waste a lot of earth, which is also something they can't do. Conditional restrictions allow them to build the slope to a maximum of 45 degrees, which is already
More than a dozen people were busy with three days' worth of work.
This slope is difficult for even a tracked vehicle to drive up. Fortunately, at the same time, drilling on the huge rock has been completed above, and the platform built with expansion screws is very stable. As several people above it simultaneously
Pushing the winch to slowly rotate, the car was forcibly pulled up from the huge slope.
They have encountered such difficulties, large or small, countless times, but they have successfully overcome them by relying on limited tools and each other's wisdom. This is the biggest advantage of intelligent creatures over wild animals. Even if the conditions are limited,
Be able to use limited conditions and combine your own wisdom to create miracles.
The convoy set off again. Even though the supplies had been consumed a little, they were still more than enough. Along the rugged and winding road, they finally came to the next transmission point. After crossing the Rainbow Bridge this time, they would come to the most extreme and harsh environment.
Muspelheim.
This place is filled with lava lakes, and the land is just small islands suspended on the lava lake. Any wave stirred up by the hot lava may burn people to coke.
Most of the previous exploration teams stopped here. However, they did not come in vain. Many people used the materials they carried with them to build suspension bridges one after another on these islands. Relying on these suspension bridges, latecomers could
It was able to surpass the previous records time and time again, and finally completely crossed this magma lake and reached the Rainbow Bridge on the other side.
"The terrain ahead will not allow us to drive anyway, so we each grabbed the supplies we can carry with us. We have to go on foot, but it's almost time. After crossing this country, we are only left with Warner
"Haim, as long as we can pass through the poisonous gas-filled Vanaheim, we can surpass the previous records and find Asgard." Although everyone gave up their vehicles, Wendell still encouraged everyone's morale.
It seems very thrilling, but in fact the difficulty is not that high. The biggest danger comes from the temperature. The surrounding magma makes the temperature exceed 80 degrees even when not on the lake.
In the past, they had to have an ice mage to help them cool down in order to maintain their body temperature and ensure that they would not be cooked in this space.
But this time, everyone was wearing close-fitting power armor. As the compressor inside started, the air conditioner kept everyone's body temperature normal.
The only problem is that fuel is continuously consumed during operation, and they must pass as quickly as possible.
This level is the least difficult, that is, because the ancestors of light seekers came to this level time and time again. Using the iron chains and steel plates they carried, they laid suspension bridges between continents one after another.
Although walking on the chain bridge over the magma ocean is very thrilling, in fact, as long as you have enough courage to walk on it, it is actually very simple to reach the other side safely.
Everyone knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more fuel they would consume, so they speeded up their pace one after another. The metal boots collided with the steel plates, making a clanking sound. It took them half a day to run out of the three-mile distance.
After traveling for more than ten kilometers through the hottest area in the middle of the lake, I could finally turn off the air conditioner and rely on the heat insulation system of the power armor itself to maintain my body temperature.
The teleportation channel in the distance is just around the corner, but this extreme sport finally caused some damage. In order to save his teammates who almost fell into the lake, Andrew's arm of the mecha was subjected to a huge pulling force that exceeded the design threshold, and now cracks have appeared.
, the high temperature environment is destroying the organic materials in the cracks, and the sealing performance of the power armor has been greatly reduced, which makes everyone have to speed up and leave this magma hell as soon as possible.
Although predecessors had laid an iron cable bridge, the steel plates on it had been burned by high temperatures all year round. After all, some parts had problems. It was precisely because of Andrew's rescue that he stepped on a teammate who had damaged the steel plates. This is how the body of the bridge was damaged.
This is quite troublesome for the next exploration. They are about to teleport to Vanaheim, which is also the last country before leading to Asgard. There are only a few light seekers in the past who have been able to reach this point. In the past, light seekers
Among them, their results are already among the best.
The most difficult thing in this area is facing the attack of poisonous gas. When the power armor was intact, this was really not a problem. The whole body was wrapped in sealed armor, and no matter how strong the poisonous gas was, it could not hurt anyone.
But Andrew's power armor has been damaged, and poisonous gas may have penetrated into the body along the gaps. All everyone can do is to use adhesive to seal the gaps as much as possible.
They didn't dare to stop at the Rainbow Bridge for long. The scorching hot environment was consuming everyone's fuel. They decisively chose to teleport immediately and arrived at Vanaheim, which was much cooler.
It's pitch black here, and it's even darker than Midgard. In addition to the fact that there's no sun, it's also covered in poisonous fog all day long. It's not an exaggeration to say that you can't see even your fingers.
This is also the farthest place that all light seekers have reached before. If they continue to move forward, they will no longer be able to see the footprints of their predecessors and can only rely on their own strength to explore.
Wherever the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard is located, they must rely on their own strength to search. This is also the next most difficult step.
After Lan Nuo teleported out from the Rainbow Bridge, he knew that he had to cheat next. The fuel of the power armor was limited. Even in the energy-saving mode, the lighting equipment, food, and water sources in everyone's hands were lost when the vehicle was lost.
After the logistics, the time that can be sustained is also limited. If you follow conventional methods and fumble and explore in the dark night, the probability of finding the Rainbow Bridge before the limit time comes is less than 10%.
But for others, it is almost impossible to complete the task, but for Lan Nuo, it is not necessarily possible. Because compared with others, the efficiency of exploration is countless times higher. As long as there is a preview, his investigation scope will always be
It is the circular area with a radius of fifteen minutes multiplied by one's own extreme movement speed. In the darkness, this is undoubtedly equivalent to a super radar. All terrains and ruins in its path become invisible.
.This is why the materials he chose after leaving the car were completely different from others.
