Chapter 2498 Factory
These two worlds are… in sync in a way.
Lin's troops are still doing research near the "Vintage Spring".
There are many fluffy things around this spring...
It may seem so on the surface, but in reality, these are not things that come from pom-poms.
Because there had been no detailed research before, no discovery was made. After Lin conducted a detailed inspection, she found that all the bones here...organisms, including the air in the bodies of gas ants and even the debris in the air, were actually not from the fluff.
Although on the surface they feel very similar.
But in fact, all the materials here are... synthesized from local materials here.
However, this "local matter" is also normal void matter, but it does not come from the fluff ball... but is the matter that originally existed here.
At the same time, the coagulated creatures that the dwarves encountered on the other side of the fluff ball that liked to excrete... in fact, they were not real coagulated creatures, but were produced locally for some reason.
Although Lin has not yet figured out how the solidified creatures are produced on the fluff ball side, at least now she knows how they are produced on the 'Ancestral Land' side.
In fact, the bottom of the entire "Pompom Spring" is a large "synthetic device".
Now Lin has a skeleton dragon soldier floating towards the bottom of the spring... During the fall, you can see some creatures like pterosaurs flying around.
When the skeleton dragon landed to the bottom... it landed on a large area of sand.
In fact, these are debris made up of many kinds of normal void matter, which are piled up at the bottom of the 'spring', making it look like a beach.
At the same time, Lin could also find that the surrounding sand would occasionally... sink and form a small vortex.
This will last for tens of seconds and then disappear. The vortex will draw in a large amount of sand and gravel, including Lin's micro-troops.
In fact, before the skeleton dragon landed here, Lin had already sprinkled a lot of miniature soldiers into the spring, and had some understanding of this layer of sand... and the situation underneath.
Under the gravel is a 'synthetic device'.
It is made of solidified material and its style is very similar to many factories Lin has seen.
First of all, there are many chimney-like pipes on the top of it. These pipes can be opened or closed. When they are opened, you can see the sand vortex phenomenon just like before...
That is, a lot of sand flowed into the chimney pipe.
After entering the pipe, the gravel will go all the way into the interior of the "factory", where there is a relatively complex system with many... tiny tweezers-like structures.
They would disassemble and reassemble the fallen sand and gravel and assemble them into the materials that Lin saw around the spring.
That is... the bones of various creatures.
The factory seems to randomly assemble gravel into bones of any creature from the Dinosaur Continent, mostly dinosaurs... but also some other materials, such as plant debris, dried excrement, stones, etc.
These substances are similar only in appearance; careful examination of the inside will reveal their differences.
Once assembled, they send the bones outside through larger tubes.
After a long time, the gravel on top will slowly be used up, and it will all be formed into various fluffy substances.
In the end, they will be... thrown out of the spring, and finally become the things scattered around the spring that Lin saw.
Of course, only materials such as bones will not be thrown out.
They also need... air.
The fluff-like air is also produced by this factory.
But it was not made of those gravel, but of another...substance that was located deeper underground.
There is a large... sewer-like area under the factory.
There is also a large amount of liquid flowing in the sewers.
The factory will suck liquid from it and react it with a combination of various substances to finally produce air that resembles a pompom.
Finally, the factory will store the air in a certain location, and when the storage is almost full... and at the same time it is also filled with a lot of substances, it will "explode" and throw them all out of the fluff spring.
The creatures outside, which Lin calls "air ants", will also rush over at this moment and quickly absorb the surging air.
At the same time, some other solidified creatures will also arrive.
Lin thinks these creatures can be called "fluff ball lovers". Similar to light-chasing creatures, they have a great... liking for the fluff balls in their environment.
For example, the creatures disguised as dwarf skeletons that Lin had seen before.
Because what the Pompom Spring throws out is not just various imitation materials, but also some... information.
When the fluff ball spring is activated, you can feel the information as long as you stand at the edge of the spring...this information includes the environmental things in the fluff ball.
Some solidified creatures therefore became fond of the things there.
As for what the light-chasing creatures learned about the fluff balls, it is estimated that some solidified creatures told them what they learned here.
However, it is still unknown what kind of solidified organism it is.
Because most solidified organisms only gather at the moment when the spring erupts, and leave after the eruption, and few of them stay here.
At the same time, there is another question, which is... where does the factory get the information about pompoms?
For this reason, Lin investigated the factory more carefully.
The factory itself is fully automated, and you could even say it is a living organism.
It has many root-like structures extending underground, which, in addition to absorbing liquids for synthesizing air, also absorb...many kinds of solidified substances as energy to keep the factory running.
And this factory has one most important part.
At least Lin thinks it is the most important one, it is... the information cabin.
The chamber itself was small and located at the edge of the factory, but it was connected to a single chimney duct.
And this cabin contains a large amount of information about the ball...mainly the dinosaur continent.
Mainly the inner wall of this cabin, Lin discovered that it was the neural structure of some solidified creature.
Lin didn't know exactly what kind of solidified organism this was, but she knew in general that it was a kind of neural structure.
Moreover, Lin can also feel the information it sends out using the captain's organoids.
Although Lin's micro-troops are too small and do not have captain-like organs, Lin's skeleton dragon troops have now reached the top of the chimney pipe connecting to the information cabin.
Standing above the pipe, Lin could more or less sense the information inside.
The information cabin contains constantly updated environmental information about the Dinosaur Continent.
But...how does it connect to that place?
