No. 1 took two more steps forward and suddenly stopped.
"boom!"
The fire broke down the rock wall in front, bringing a devastating heat wave of lava to the face.
In the sudden extreme environment, No. 1's perception and computing functions were momentarily disrupted, and the metal body became somewhat stiff and out of control. However, Ronan's mental induction was not affected, and instead followed the fulcrum that had entered the area.
spread.
Then Ronan "saw" that on the other side of the cracked rock wall, the "building" like a church spire collapsed and crashed into the roaring and boiling magma, and was destroyed in an instant.
Don't wonder why there are such "buildings" in the underground lava area. In fact, when the No. 1 body adapted to the extreme environment, it walked against the tidal waves of lava to the edge of the cracked rock wall. Here, the huge cavity in front,
As well as the twisted and twisted complex of strange buildings in the cavity, it only showed it "a corner of the volcano".
In this huge cavity with lava as the background color, there are at least ten huge sealed structures, scattered at random.
They are all rock and adobe structures, varying in size and quite rough. They are connected to each other and to the surrounding mountain rock walls by "pipes" of the same material, criss-crossing each other, and at first glance they are buildings with clear functions.
Perhaps it is the reflection of the light of the lava, or the material or other factors, but these sealed structures all emit a dark red light, as if they are burning all the time, like giant torches, which is very eye-catching.
The dark red light emitted, if you look closely, is constantly flowing, like a special-shaped blood circulation system, never stopping for a moment.
In such a volcanic lava environment, it is no exaggeration to say that the temperature is as high as fire. But in this hell-like "building community", tens of millions of Vulcan ants are rapidly following the passages inside and outside.
shuttle.
As far as Ronan's mental induction could reach, the dozen or so sealed structures exposed above the lava were almost full of Vulcan ants, and more and more ant colonies were coming one after another towards the far end of the rock wall.
, and even travel deeper into the lower lava depths.
Yes, similar closed structures and passages still exist widely in mountains and other parts of the earth's crust, under high-temperature lava with unfathomable depths. They are the ant chambers and ant tunnels built by this huge Vulcan ant colony.
All of these together constitute the entirety of the Abnormal Lair.
And this is only the middle and lower part of the aberration lair.
According to Ronan's detection and observation over the past few days, this "distorted nest" includes at least more than two hundred ant chambers and ten times as many ant tunnels. There is no obvious pattern in their distribution.
It is denser and sparse in some places, but overall it still shows the shape of an inverted pyramid.
About one-fifth of the lower end is completely immersed in magma, and that is Ronan's final destination - the "heart" of the entire aberration nest, where the queen of the Vulcan ant colony is located. It is also the entire Vulcan ant social group.
The core of consciousness gathering and growth.
The violent shaking of the mountain and the strata continued. No. 1 stood on the edge of the rock wall for only three to five seconds, and another ant chamber was peeled off from the rock wall, carrying tens of thousands of Vulcan ants, and fell heavily into the lava.
among.
To say that most of the ant chambers are embedded with the surrounding mountains and strata, the volcanic activity in this area was probably too intense, causing the supporting strata to collapse, exposing the ant chambers inside.
It can be seen that the ant chambers of Vulcan ants are stronger than the surrounding rock formations, but without their bearing foundation, it is difficult for these strange creations to maintain themselves in harsh environments for a long time.
Such destructive turbulence is caused by natural disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes; it is also caused by energy turbulence in the abyss that forcibly interferes with the material level, further adding fuel to the fire; in addition, there is also a more direct impact from the depths of the lava.
At this time, the lava below was surging and turbulent, and it was completely irregular, as if more than a dozen giant monsters were fighting and struggling inside. As a result, the rock walls at the lower level were still cracking and falling, making the hole bigger and bigger.
In this case, it is difficult for No. 1's auxiliary computing system to accurately monitor and judge the surrounding environment, which is equivalent to wasting most of it.
"Abolish it and abolish it."
The fact that No. 1 was able to advance into this area has already completed its basic mission, and we can't expect it to play any role next. Ronan quickly made a decision and controlled No. 1 to slide down the rock wall, using the most direct
way, get closer to the key area.
The cracked formation space showed a very bad concave shape, with almost no place to draw strength from. In this extreme environment, the basic design of No. 1 that did not pass the test also exposed problems. The external rocket propulsion system was intermittent.
Basically, it relies on the electromagnetic shield to fall down like a rolling ball. As for braking and other things, it depends on the alloy combat knife to help.
Such a miserable appearance completely obliterated the heroic appearance of No. 1 in the previous hours.
Ronan couldn't care anymore. He controlled No. 1 to slide down another forty meters. The surrounding air was becoming more viscous. Huge noises - noises coming from both directions of the material plane and the void of the abyss, were already there.
They kneaded together and emitted powerful spiritual pressure, which was twisted and chaotic, creating invisible whirlpools in the hell.
Now you can feel more clearly the collision and conflict between the two forces inside.
On one side is the chorus of "blood, blood, blood, fire, fire, fire". It seems fanatical, but in fact it occupies the dominant position in the void of the abyss, and the energy is transported in extremely weird and wonderful ways;
On the other side is a huge heat source entrenched under the volcanic strata here. It is impacting back and forth in a relatively rough and wild operating mode. Although there is a huge waste of energy every moment, in this environment, it is almost random.
Use it as a supplement, it is inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
"Molun did a good job, Vulcan Ant... really made the right choice."
The conductor of the "Chorus" is undoubtedly Morun. The puppet that lives in the Blood Soul Temple, the only thing left now is its tyrannical fighting instinct. So far, it can still come up with such magical means of transportation, even if it is inside
With the powerful bonus from Blood Soul Temple, he is worthy of being a strong man who was only one step away from being extraordinary.
As for the dominant force of that huge heat source, it is naturally only the Vulcan ant colony. Its already quite legal and orderly group consciousness, combined with the grand ant nest structure all over the volcanic area, has formed a complete energy within an area of nearly a thousand square kilometers.
Recycling system. Even if there are various inefficiencies in it, it is inevitably restricted by the natural environment, but there is a huge base there, and it still has incredible power.
If we confront it head-on, all the extraordinary species on the earth, whether physical or mental, will be crushed. Then there will be nothing to do with Ronan, let alone any plan.
, just pat your butt and get away.
But today's facts have proven that even if you have an overwhelming strength advantage without corresponding high-end transportation skills, you may not be able to gain the upper hand, and you may even be exploited by others.
If not, where does Ronan's current "supplementing" energy come from?
At this time, Morun seemed to be driving a floating power generation platform, floating on the vast ocean. The huge waves did not overturn the platform, but provided strong tidal energy, helping the platform complete a series of energy conversions.
The current transformation model is still Wugenzhiping, but Ronan believes that it will not take long before there will be a big change.
"The progress of the forced colonization and transformation is pretty good, but I'm still a little unsure about putting the 'seeds' in... If it doesn't work, let's ask Ruiwen to help. Is she out of class now?"
Ronan was stunned when a heat wave of lava more than tens of meters high suddenly arose in the huge cavity, almost filling the entire cavity at once and swallowing No. 1 directly.
"Buzz!"
The electromagnetic shield suddenly reached its highest level, which was already the instantaneous limit of Ronan's soul power interfering with the material plane. In the depths of the overlapping dark red lava, there were blue-white electric fires tenaciously jumping, supporting at least
Two seconds, but ultimately shattered.
Ronan knew that the instantaneous energy infusion caused considerable damage to the combat machine. But this was meaningless, because the surging lava waves directly knocked the combat machine apart, and the body fragments exploded slightly.
The sound was also submerged in the hollow and huge background noise, and there was no saving value at all.
Such a tyrannical impact is the result of the boiling evil thoughts of the Vulcan ant colony. But it is not necessarily targeted at No. 1. According to the feedback from Morun, this is more like the group thoughts after repeated attacks without success.
A venting action.
It can be seen that more than a dozen ant chambers inside this huge cavity have collapsed due to the collapse just now. This part of the "blood circulation system" that was originally relatively complete has become necrotic in a blink of an eye.
Hurting others and hurting yourself is nothing more than that.
"Tsk, tsk, it's really violent. Fortunately, the high-melting-point hafnium-tantalum alloy was specially chosen and heat-insulated."
The relatively complete head module of No. 1, as well as half of the chest and shoulder armor, are the largest pieces of debris that Ronan's electromagnetic shield can protect. Its body functions have been completely lost, and its only function now is to survive in high-temperature lava.
The metal block that protects the core will not be damaged quickly.
Currently, the wreckage of Unit 1 has completely lost its automatic power and is slowly sinking in the lava. In such an extreme environment as deep in the lava, the mode of interaction between spirit and matter is severely limited, and it is not advisable to forcefully obtain propulsion.
It's not a good time either.
So for the time being, it can only be a mechanical beauty who quietly watches.
Ronan had anticipated this situation, so he was not particularly frustrated. Instead, he could take the opportunity to observe it more carefully. At this time, Morun and the Blood God Ant, or to be more precise, Ronan's closed system and the Blood God
The struggle among ant colonies is entering a white-hot stage.
