Chapter 1721 The center of the earth, and the connection
What lies deep within the rift in the world? This is something that every Rakhrien is curious about, but no one has ever dared to truly try to explore.
In other words, those who dared to explore the truth have been buried forever in the scorching abyss emitting a faint red light, and among those who survived, there will no longer be such reckless men who do not cherish life.
Looking down from the terrifying rift of the world rift, what can be seen is an endless and profound dark valley that seems to swallow up even the light. Although the Lahirien people have realized the land they live in a long time ago,
In fact, it is spherical, and the world rift divides the planet into two halves, but with the observation technology they currently have, it is still not enough to directly observe the scene at the other end from one end of the rift, or even half of this distance.
.
Their vision will be blocked by the never-dissipating gas clouds deep in the earth's mantle, so that they can only see a little bit of faint red light surging in the depths of the endless darkness and chaos, and that little bit of red light
It has been given various definitions by scholars: the heart of the world, the tomb of the fallen gods, the place where the consciousness of the planet sleeps, or the place where the souls of all living beings in the world reincarnate. Some even think that the red light is the eye of a giant snake.
And that giant snake will one day crawl out of the abyss and swallow the whole world.
And that red light has become weaker and weaker over time, which has led scholars who are obsessed with proposing various hypotheses to propose various supporting doomsday or disaster theories, such as the heart of the world gradually extinguishing.
But all the theories are absurd. The red light does not have a mysterious veil. It is just the core of the earth that is gradually cooling.
In a place where the Lahirian people cannot see, various construction machinery is busy day and night. A cluster of construction bases floating above the earth's core has been built. A large number of autonomous machinery and engineering drones are operating in this scorching planet.
The metal sphere (which is cold to the star core) flew around, nailing more detection stakes and transport channels to the latter's semi-solidified outer shell.
The Giant Turtle Rock Platform is suspended on the surface of the sphere, only a few meters above its outer shell. The remaining heat from the earth's core is scorching the spacecraft, but this heat is not even as cool to Nolan as it was when she was racing against the ship.
Liquid temperature is high.
Her image stood on the bridge, looking at the images returned by various detectors, and in the center of the holographic projection was a scan of the earth's core.
Wrapped in a not-so-thick shell, some vague images can be seen, which are rough outlines drawn by the detection equipment after trying hard to eliminate interference. It looks like an irregular mass, vaguely
There are something like pipes or pillars extending out, connecting to the outer shell of the earth's core.
From such a blurry image, it is impossible to analyze what it is, and under the premise that the "protective barrier" shrouded in the earth's core cannot be safely broken, Nolan really does not dare to bombard this thing.
open.
"...I always feel that I have been with the boss for a long time, and even my thoughts have been led astray by him..." Ms. Shipiang rubbed her forehead and sighed helplessly, "My mind is full of thoughts and feelings.
He is not the calm and rational gray fox back then."
Then she clicked a few times on the holographic projection and turned on the audio monitoring mode, and then a dull and powerful voice sounded on the bridge:
Dong-dong-dong-dong-dong-dong...
Just like a heartbeat, but much slower than a human heartbeat.
"Those Lahirian scholars who guessed it to be the heart of the planet are quite right. This thing really sounds like a heartbeat." Nolan said to himself as he opened the entire
Schematic diagram of the planet Herian.
On the holographic projection, the entire Lahirien planet appears translucent gray-white, and the center of the earth is marked in eye-catching red. However, the center of the earth is not floating independently inside the planet: there is a dim red line extending from the center of the earth.
Come out and extend to a certain coordinate on the surface of the planet.
"The third set of detectors also confirmed that there is indeed a connection... But how did such a strange information mapping relationship come into being? And I always feel that something is missing..." Nolan frowned and said to himself,
"Forget it, let's report it to the boss first and let him worry about it."
The Giant Turtle Rock platform floated up slightly, interrupting the beam connection with several detection nodes on the surface of the earth's core, and a new piece of information was uploaded to Hao Ren's data link:
"New information fluctuations were discovered in the center of the earth, and it was confirmed that there is an unknown flow of information connected from the center of the earth to the surface, and the connection point is located in the Dragon Imperial Capital."
…
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. This brief moment of confusion was noticed by Vivian, who was always very sharp next to him. The latter looked over with concern: "What's wrong?"
"Nolan sent a message," Hao Ren tilted his head slightly and whispered, "Isn't there a structure wrapped in a mysterious barrier in the center of the earth? Nolan discovered that there is information exchange between that thing and the surface, and the exchange point is located in the empire.
capital."
"...that thing buried in the center of the earth, which is the product of a super civilization no matter how you look at it, will it be connected with the relatively backward civilization on the surface?"
"There will definitely be contact. This is no surprise," Hao Ren nodded lightly, "The key now is that we have one more reason to go to the Imperial Capital."
Hao Ren and Vivian were talking in low voices, but Cam, Charlemagne and others were still in deep shock and couldn't extricate themselves.
"What on earth is going on..." Kaim looked back at the black pines standing proudly in the wind and snow, feeling that his brain was a little lacking, "The black pine forest is actually connected to the northern border... and the three empires are crossed in the middle.
Two-thirds of the territory?!"
In the distant sky, the red space channel stretched across the sky like a scar after the sky was torn. Ominous red light and thunder surged in the crack, and below the crack was a hazy silvery white light.
It was a phantom light phenomenon stimulated by the energy flow near the rift in the world. The two wonders overlapped each other, bringing about a wonder that is impossible to see in the ordinary world, but this scene of wonder in the eyes of the Lahirien people.
It's never a great view.
Soldiers who have been stationed in the northern border of the world all year round are no stranger to this scenery. It is the crack of the Gorgon Abyss, and near the crack, the Gorgon demons that appear out of thin air from time to time have always been pressed here.
The heaviest burden on every fortress' shoulders.
Leah looked around and climbed onto a nearby big rock. She looked in the direction of the black pine forest, and then changed her angle to look at the Gorgon Abyss.
There was a hint of surprise on her face, which then turned into thought, and finally realization.
"I see," the little goddess jumped down from the stone and looked at everyone and said seriously, "Keim said that a part of the black pine forest is indeed connected to this place, but it is not connected to the north, but to the north.
On the space fault surrounding the Gorgon Abyss."
Hao Ren just ended his conversation with Vivian at this time. He was also quite curious about leaving the black pine forest and setting foot on the snowy plains of the north. Hearing Leah's words, he couldn't help but ask: "You mean, black pine forest?"
The Pine Forest is connecting to the Gorgon Deep?"
Evana exclaimed: "How could this happen?!"
"Because the Black Pine Forest and the Gorgon Abyss are essentially the same thing, and they are probably originally connected to each other," Leah explained lightly, "Although you think they are two far apart and have completely different properties.
Secret realm, but in my eyes, they all belong to the 'after-image' after the world line collapsed, shattered and solidified. In the surface world, they may not be connected to each other, but in those world lines that have collapsed, everything is connected and mixed together.
…”
As she spoke, she showed a thoughtful look, and her hands seemed to be flicking in the air unconsciously. Charlemagne and others thought this was a subconscious action of this "magical little girl" when thinking about problems and organizing words, but Hao Ren saw that
When she came out, she was flipping through a book...
"Ah, yes," Leah stopped her movements after a moment, "If the world is regarded as a multi-layered structure, then the stable reality is its most superficial layer, and those worlds that fail to become reality
The threads are buried in the deep layers together with all kinds of redundant information. Those fragmented histories are mixed with each other in the deep layers. That is because in the 'deep layers', the concepts of time and space become extremely blurred. Normally,
, only a little bit of those fragmented things will emerge, like an iceberg slightly rising from the water, exposing several far-flung peaks, but if the barriers between the layers of the world become fragile, they will continue to rise...
"
"The interconnected nature of those broken world lines will be revealed," Hao Ren continued, "Therefore, the Black Pine Forest and the Gorgon Abyss are connected together."
Leah nodded lightly: "And if I'm not wrong... I'm afraid there are more than one such 'realm of reality' in this world, but some people know about it, and some no one knows about, but now no matter whether there is
No one knows, they..."
At this point, she paused deliberately to emphasize her next few words: "I'm afraid it's all starting to rise."
After Leah finished explaining this almost subversive theory, several others, including Cam, fell into a brief state of sluggishness.
Based on the worldview they were familiar with, this theory was too advanced and unimaginable.
"It's really unheard of..." Evana was the first to murmur to herself and break the silence. As the best spell caster in the Ys royal family for hundreds of years, she had studied under several extremely knowledgeable masters and knew everything about it.
The various obscure theories and doctrines are far more advanced than ordinary people, but she still finds it difficult to follow Leah's train of thought, "Although it seems to be able to explain the situation in front of her, such a mysterious and mysterious thing..."
Leah put her hands on her hips and tried to straighten her chest: "That's what the book says!"
Hao Ren slapped his forehead and tried to make amends before the atmosphere changed in a strange direction: "...It is what the secret scriptures of our World Tree Temple say. Whether you believe it or not, we have knowledge in the field about the origin of this world.
A lot of research.”
"It is the business of those scholars to study and verify these theories," Kaim said seriously. "We only need to confirm that the Black Pine Forest is indeed connected to the Gorgon Abyss. This information must be known to Her Royal Highness as soon as possible."
Hao Ren smiled: "The best news now is that we have crossed directly into the hinterland of the empire and are not far away from the princess."
