Chapter 976: Singing
This weird layered structure creates a bizarre scene. Everyone is like entering the aquarium. They walk in the glass tunnel, and there are six rare fish swimming above it from time to time, which is a feast for the eyes.
It's just that there is no seawater in this aquarium, and there are flying fish monsters that can kill people above their heads, and these fish monsters are fighting fiercely with the hybrid predators. The funniest thing is that Abathur, who was parading in the buoyancy zone, raised his head from time to time as he did during the dive, grabbed some fish monster bones from the weightlessness zone and stuffed them into his mouth, like a child who fell into a candy world , all the way to eat all the way.
As a creature that can collect 200 gas, the fish monster's attack power is actually very high. This can be seen from the fact that they can cause corrosion damage to the Angel's armor. What Tang Fang shouted was that after killing the fish monsters, they rely on the biomass of the dead target to quickly heal their wounds.
The tunnel is very long, and looking up from the ground to the sky is a night without stars. Occasionally, the fish monsters that penetrate into the buoyancy layer are inevitably frightening, and some of them will be dismembered by Abathur, turning them into disgusting dripping corpses.
The light-emitting crystal lattice under the feet is very beautiful, but the night sky above the head is not charming at all.
As the team moved forward in silence, the detector team sent new scan data. Emma updated the structural model of the tiankeng based on this information and projected it into Tang Fang's mind.
"Commander, according to the latest information obtained by the detector scan, the crater does not go straight into the core of the wandering planet, but has a slight inclination during the downward process, just like a tangent line at a point of an arc, wiped by the edge of the core, and then passed through something like L A curved bend connects the space of the earth's core."
Tang Fang frowned when he heard the words, and his flight speed was slightly slowed down. According to Emma, the tiankeng is a similar inclined L-shaped pipe, extending from the surface to the core of the earth.
After seeing the Theta Quadrant, he knew very well that the cosmic civilization to which the T-star people and the Ipsilon people belonged was capable enough to hollow out the center of the earth, and had the technology to build technological equipment that simulated the function of the earth's core.
If this relic is not a relic of the Ypsi dragons as guessed earlier, but a relic of their hostile race, the T-star people, then... what is it used for?
This could not help but remind him of the strange situation imagined by Sita. The teleportation platform in the Quadrant of the Sita has obvious ε patterns, which can prove that the builder is an Ipsi dragon, but the strange black ball in the quadrant of the Sita has no trace from the surface to the core. At any epsilon pattern, there was also a T-star corpse inside. At that time, it was suspected that the black ball was a spoil of war that the Yipsi dragons had obtained from hostile forces. The West Tower Quadrant is a prison-like space station for the Ipsilonians.
The Ipsilon civilization is withered, and the lost land is desolate due to war. The two ancient civilizations of the universe are like catkins that flutter when they come and go quietly when they go, disappearing in the long river of history, leaving only countless mysteries and marks of civilization.
"Could it be possible..." He suddenly thought of a possibility, could this wandering planet be a mobile military space station of the T star people? The gravitational disordered area and "asteroid armor" on its surface show that the wandering planet has a strong defense force, and the sinkhole can store a large number of warships, even ships of the level of the Dreadnought Commander-class fortress ship are no problem, and according to Hank King The description of the encounters between the 42nd Fleet, the 87th Fleet, the Cangshi Fleet, and the Phantom Fleet seems to have the ability to travel between stars.
What does Jormungandr have to do with this ruin? If this is not its homeland, is it like the evil eye and the giant snake that it was attracted by the zero element in the ruins before entering this ruins?
Yingluo didn't have a chance to tell him that Yemengard had been injured before leaving the tiankeng, and there were things it was afraid of in the ruins. All he knew was that Yermengad was seriously injured by the Void Ray, and the hill-like T energy stone on his forehead was shattered, and he ended up in the same end as Yingluo. It could be regarded as revenge for the girl, but he himself was not satisfied with it. the result of.
After the relics appeared and entered the tiankeng,
Especially now that the Angel was besieged by fish monsters, he also suspected whether there were other dangers in the ruins. Ye Mengjiad did not attack the Angel because he wanted to protect his homeland, but for other reasons.
But it's just a suspicion, if you haven't entered the ruins to find out the truth, you can only be a suspicion, you can only speculate.
Everyone continued to walk forward for a while, and according to the data from the detector, they had already left the mantle area and entered the core of the earth. Under the feet is still the endless honeycomb lattice at a glance, the only difference is that the brightness has increased, which is not as dim as the honeycomb lattice in the tiankeng area. The buoyancy layer and the weightless zone, including those fish monsters, also remained unchanged. The hybrid predators tirelessly killed and devoured them. Flying fish monsters are delicious sashimi.
Valentine said, "Your eating looks so ugly, maybe they are more delicious than larvae?"
Abathur said: "It tastes good... you can try it."
The flesh on the old man's cheeks trembled, "Forget it, I'm still used to eating Western food compared to Japanese food."
Walton suddenly felt a little envious of the one floating above his head. Although his appearance was really ugly and his living habits were unflattering, at least he had a companion. It was also a pleasure to stumbling and quarreling when he was free. .
Wife...wife, always be with me. Valentine has no wife, no children, and devoted his youth and energy to biological sciences. Now he has such a Zerg scientist who is both a teacher and a friend as his wife. The result...is really good.
At this moment, Captain Tang, who was leading the way in front of him, slammed on the brakes and stopped. In the next second, a low and serious question came from the communicators of Tang Lin, Walton, and the veteran, "Did you hear that?" ?”
"What did you hear?" Tang Lin asked back. Aros shook his head. Walton hadn't woken up from the emotion just now, and subconsciously said, "Was Valentine and Abathur flirting?"
Before Tang Fang could respond, the old man looked at Walton with an angry face, "Damn boy, I have the guts to say what I just said again."
Walton certainly didn't have the guts to repeat what he just said. As the person in charge of the medical resources of the Sea Angel, he has ten thousand ways to avenge today's revenge in his future life, so the chasing man can only remain silent. It means to be soft.
Tang Fang didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two, and asked again in a very serious tone, "You really didn't hear that voice? A woman's voice...singing."
Aros listened for a while, then shook his head vigorously, "I didn't hear any strange sounds."
"Brother, are you too tired?" Tang Lin followed up and denied, "Except for the jet of flames, I didn't hear any woman's voice, let alone singing."
Tang Lin's physical fitness is higher than that of ordinary people, and his ears are naturally sharper. Even he said that he did not hear the sound, which only proves that Tang Fang heard it wrong. It is probably an auditory hallucination caused by mental fatigue.
Walton said: "After walking for so long, do you want to take a break?" He thought it might help Captain Tang.
Tang Fang did not respond to his kindness, but raised his head to look at the brighter and brighter hive lattice at the end of his field of vision.
"Hehehehe...I'm here...waiting for you, Tang...Fang? Hehehe..." At this moment, the female voice humming an unknown song sounded again, calling out his name all at once. At the same time, the Epsilon rune on his forehead jumped slightly, not very strong, very slight, but very real.
His face became more gloomy, and he looked back at the three of them, seeing that they still did not respond, knowing that he was the only one who could hear the voice, which might have something to do with the Ipsilon rune on his forehead. The owner is an Ipsi dragon? But why does she know her own name?
Frowning and thinking for a moment, his thoughts moved slightly, and he summoned 4 dark templar warriors from the system space, and at the same time gave an order to the 5 mixed-body looters in the weightless area, and then said to Tang Lin and the others: "You wait here Me, I'll go ahead and have a look, and if there is no danger, I will notify you to come over."
Tang Lin shook his head and said, "No, I want to go with you." He knew that Tang Fang would not lie, since he said that he heard a woman singing, it must be true. Even if the eldest brother really suffered from auditory hallucinations due to overwork, then he is more responsible to take care of him and protect his life.
"Do you still remember the three chapters of the contract when you left the ship? Even if there is any danger, you will distract me by following the past."
"I can take care of myself." Tang Lin still insisted, the veteran patted him on the shoulder from behind, shook his head and said, "This ruin gives me a strange feeling, Tang Fang is right, one more person is one more point Danger."
Abathur slowly landed on the inner wall of the crystal from the buoyancy layer, Valentine persuaded: "Don't worry, I'm still here."
Tang Lin hesitated for a while, and finally nodded, no longer insisting, but just warned, "Be careful."
"I will." After speaking, Tang Fang opened the jetpack and continued to fly forward. Abathur re-entered the buoyancy layer, continued to shake his tail, and followed closely behind him.
Although the female voice, which no one else could hear, did not reveal any murderous intent, on the contrary it was very pleasant and pleasing to the ear. But in the deepest part of his heart, that voice always gave him a feeling of trepidation, and the results of the detector's scan of the surrounding terrain exacerbated this uneasiness. According to the tiankeng model established by Emma, Tang Lin, Aros, and Walton stopped at the boundary line between the mantle and the core. The further they went, the more intense the energy reaction, and the temperature also tended to rise.
He sent a detector and a dark templar to investigate inside the earth's core in advance, but found no valuable information, and could not trace the origin of the female voice, as if they were directly fed back to the cerebral cortex, Not airborne.
To break the gravitational blockade of the upper and middle layers of the tiankeng, the easiest and most effective way is to enter the ruins to investigate, find the control center, and gain control of the ruins. So he had no choice but to risk his life and make a fool of himself.
He flew below, Abathur swam above, and the 5 hybrid marauders were taken back to the system space.
Flying about 2ookm forward in this way, the light diffused from the inner wall of the crystal under the feet is already brighter than a searchlight, enough to penetrate the buoyancy layer and illuminate the weightless area above. The number of fish monsters has not decreased, but it is clearly divided into two groups that do not interfere with each other. The upper fish school swims outward, and the lower fish school swims inward, forming a cycle.
Flying forward for another 5km under such a monotonous background, I suddenly saw a structure similar to the exit of a tunnel. In the scanning image of the detector, it is a circular exit, just because the tunnel with a diameter of nearly 100 kilometers is too large for human beings to form an intuitive understanding through human eyes. At the same time, there is a weak compensating gravity underfoot to balance the growing weightlessness.
The space inside the tunnel is filled with a turbid gas, making the sky look a bit dirty, gray and yellow are blurred at the end of the line of sight, and green and red are disconnected. The mist rolls in the sky, and the cloud filaments rippling back and forth, mixing the uneven colors together, as if suddenly entering an underground world.
The light on the inner wall of the crystal is very bright, but it cannot illuminate the entire space, so the night grows quietly behind the chaos.
Tang Fang didn't stop at the entrance of the cave, he jumped out together with Abathur, and jumped into the color-painted weightless space. The two streams of flying fish coming and going in the weightless area of the tunnel are like birds flying southward in autumn, passing through the indifferent clouds and smoke, sinking into the deeper darkness.
"What a good boy... giggling." The female voice that caught his attention sounded in his mind.
At the same time, the tunnel connecting the earth's core space suddenly underwent drastic changes, and those honeycomb-like lattices rose at a very fast speed, turning into regular hexagonal prisms, locking the entire tunnel.
Tang Fang was not surprised by this change, nor did he try to leave the Earth's core space and turn back the same way. Because he knew that it was impossible to reach the safe area before the regular hexagonal prisms sealed the tunnel, and he would only be crushed into a puddle of flesh, and he still hadn't found the source of the female voice and the way to release the gravity well of the tiankeng.
The nearly 100-kilometer-wide tunnel is blocked by a crystal wall. The surface of the wall is also composed of lattice tissue, which is almost integrated with the surrounding environment. If you don’t walk out from there, you won’t feel that there is a tunnel connecting the tiankeng behind the wall .
"Do you want to try to see if you can reopen it?" Valentine said, pointing to the crystal wall that sealed the tunnel.
Tang Fang shook his head and said, "The hundreds of kilometers of crystal walls...how long do you think it will take to break through."
"Hundreds of kilometers?" Valentine was stunned by the number, "Are you sure?"
"If I'm not wrong, the entire tiankeng can be filled with those regular hexagonal prisms..."
"Hiss..." The old man gasped, "This... this is too amazing." Then thinking that Tang Lin, Aros and others were still in the tunnel, he couldn't help but change his face, "How about Tang Lin and the others?" ?”
"It doesn't matter, their position is exactly at the junction of the mantle and the core, and they have not been affected by this accident." (To be continued.)
