Chapter 1813 Obtaining the Fourth Amethyst Gem
Olms live in pitch-black caves, have no eyes, and have no pigment in their skin. Interestingly, if the olm lived in a place with light, they would have eyes and brown skin, but the eyes were not complete, missing the important optic nerve, so although the olm had eyes, it was still blind.
Olms are mostly oviparous, sometimes viviparous, and the eggs are scattered and attached under the stone. The newt has the habit of protecting eggs, and the incubation period is about 3 months. In the larval stage, eyes can be seen, and there are fin folds on the back. When it develops into an adult, other structures do not change, and it is a permanent juvenile body shape.
There are still many unbelievable rumors about this magical creature such as the olm. Regardless of whether these rumors are true or not, it can be seen from one aspect that the olm is a very mysterious creature.
But no matter how mysterious the source of the cave on Earth is, it cannot be compared with the olm on Pallas. Because this is a planet without any signs of life. But in this deep boulder cave, there are magical cave creatures, which is really amazing.
After Zhao Zhongyao told his family about this magical olm. Everyone has a little understanding of this magical creature.
‘Dad, can you tell that this big fish is the magical olm? Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and asked.
'It should be, because in this dark cave, only a magical creature like the olm can survive here. It is impossible for any other creature to survive in such a dark cave. Zhao Zhongyao said so.
'Dad, what should we do then, this olm seems to be very big! The olm on our earth is not only about forty centimeters. But the olm we saw just now must be at least one meter long! ’ Feifei recalled the big fish he saw just now, and felt that the length should be at least one meter.
‘Yes, the olms here must be different from the olms on our earth. The olms here are really huge. However, creatures like olms should not be very ferocious. I guess they won't attack us! Zhao Zhongyao said so self-righteously.
'yes! This creature should be a relatively mild creature. We don't have to be afraid of them, I think, let's find a way to get to that boulder! ’ Feifei said again.
'But how are we going to get up there! It is more dangerous if you go directly through the water. Not to mention whether this giant olm will attack us, the water depth alone is definitely not easy to pass. Zhao Zhongyao said again.
She didn't say anything for a long time every day, she was thinking about how this puddle appeared. How could there be water in this dark cave! This is not very strange.
While thinking about it every day, she also looked at the bottom of the cave with a searchlight. She suddenly felt that the bottom of the cave was very smooth, unlike other cave walls. The searchlight shone on it, as if it shone on the ice.
'Dad, look at what is at the bottom of this hole, it feels like a block of ice. ’ At this time every day, I looked at my father again and asked.
After hearing what Tiantian said, Zhao Zhongyao also took a searchlight to shine on the bottom of the cave, and it felt different from other cave walls, like a huge ice surface.
‘Come on, let’s go to the bottom of the cave and have a look. 'Zhao Zhongyao doesn't want to take the amethyst gem for the time being, he also wants to see what is at the bottom of the cave.
Because Zhao Zhongyao observed the terrain just now, he felt that although the puddle blocked their way. But on both sides of this puddle, there seemed to be a small path that would allow them to go to the bottom of the cave.
'Okay, let's walk over and have a look. ’ After hearing what my father said every day, I said the same thing.
So, Zhao Zhongyao took his family, bypassed the puddle from the side of the puddle, and came to the bottom of the cave again.
When they came to the bottom of the cave, they were surprised to find that there really seemed to be a huge block of ice at the bottom of this cave. Because not only is the bottom of the cave like a huge block of ice, but there are also some ice-like things scattered on the ground at the bottom of the cave.
And between these ice cubes, there are some small water ditches, but there is no water in these small water ditches now. But it seems that before, some water flowed from these small ditches into the puddle next to it.
Upon seeing these things, Zhao Zhongyao suddenly felt a flash of light in his brain, and he seemed to understand a lot of things.
So he just looked at people and said, 'I know how this puddle came about. '
After hearing what he said, everyone looked at him together. Want to know how this puddle came about.
'Look, these ice cubes are right next to the puddle. And these small ditches are obviously formed after the ice cubes melted and slowly soaked into the ground. The not-so-big puddle in front of him must have been formed after these ice cubes melted. Zhao Zhongyao looked at everyone and said.
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, everyone understood how this puddle was formed. It's just that the ice cubes in front of me came from there. Also, what happened to the ice at the bottom of the cave! All this seems to be a mystery.
However, Zhao Zhongyao seems to have a bold idea about all this. He felt that this thought of his could perfectly explain how this mysterious cave and this puddle were formed.
'Dad, what you said makes a lot of sense. But what about these ice cubes, and the ice surface above the bottom of this cave. How the hell did these things come about. ’ Feifei looked at his father in a puzzled manner and asked again.
Zhao Zhongyao thought for a while and said,'I have a bold idea. If my guess is correct, this mysterious cave is due to a
formed by the impact of ice meteorites. Just as your mother thought before, it is the result of a drop of water piercing through a stone. However, the result of water dripping through stone is not formed slowly, but formed all at once. '
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Qu Yuqian said excitedly,'haha, it seems that my guess was not bad before! This cave is the result of water dripping through stone. '
'A drop of water pierces a stone! ’ Feifei looked surprised when he heard what his father said.
Tiantian now also has a surprised expression on his face. After all, no one would have imagined that this mysterious cave would be formed in this way.
‘Dad, so the bottom of this cave is a huge ice meteorite. ’ Said Tian Tian looking at the bottom of the cave with a searchlight.
‘Of course, come and see, the whole bottom of this cave is a huge ice meteorite. It was this ice meteorite that directly hit this huge carbonaceous chondrite, and then formed such a magical cave. Zhao Zhongyao explained again.
‘Dad, is this ice meteorite harder than this carbonaceous grain rock! How could it have knocked this boulder into a deep pit without breaking it. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao in puzzlement and asked again.
After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'This has to do with speed. When an object's speed is very fast, it doesn't matter whether its hardness is high or not. You must know the water jet cutting tools we use on the earth! Is water harder than stone and steel? Obviously not. If the water flow forms an extremely high-speed jet under high pressure, it can produce great damage. Can easily cut rock and even steel.
And the cave in front of him was formed because an ice meteorite accidentally hit this boulder. At that time, the speed of this ice meteorite must have been very fast. It may have reached tens of thousands of kilometers per hour, that is, a speed of several kilometers per second.
Such a fast speed makes this ice meteorite a bullet. In fact, it is much faster than the speed of the bullet.
Therefore, when this ice meteorite hits this boulder, it can be embedded in this boulder very quickly, and it has no time to break, and it enters this boulder.
Of course, this phenomenon may only appear on asteroids in outer space. On Earth, such a phenomenon is unlikely to occur. Because the surface of our earth has a dense atmosphere.
This circle of dense atmosphere, not only for us to breathe. More importantly, it can also defend us against any attack by small celestial bodies in outer space. Because as long as the volume of the small celestial body is not very large. When they enter the earth's atmosphere, they will burn rapidly due to friction with the atmosphere. Before they reach the surface, they burn up in the atmosphere.
Even if some relatively large small celestial bodies will continue to burn and fall to the ground, when they reach the sky above the surface, they will suddenly explode due to excessive temperature. Even if they hit the ground, they will also explode.
Generally speaking, all small celestial bodies that land on the earth have only one result, that is, burn and explode, and then disappear.
This is not the case with the ice meteorite we saw. When it flew to Pallas, it would not be affected by any atmosphere. When it approached this boulder, it was still intact. .
Therefore, this ice meteorite can be embedded into this boulder at an extremely fast speed and form such a magical cave. '
Zhao Zhongyao looked at everyone, and then said again, his opinion on how this cave was formed.
After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, everyone felt very reasonable. This mysterious cave must have been formed because this ice meteorite suddenly hit this boulder.
'Dad, what you said makes a lot of sense. It seems that this cave was formed in this way. It's just that we came here to take care of this amethyst gemstone, not to explore the reason for the formation of this cave. Should we think about how to take this amethyst gem away? Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'Yes, let's quickly find a way to get this amethyst gem! '
After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongyao walked to the puddle and took another look. He felt that there was about four or five meters away from where he was standing to the boulder in the middle of the puddle. This distance is really not far. But even if it's not far away, they can't jump across it all at once.
However, when Zhao Zhongyao saw a few ice cubes next to him, he suddenly thought of a good way.
‘Yes, we can walk on these ice blocks. Zhao Zhongyao said so.
After hearing what his father said, Feifei felt that it made sense. So, he also said, 'Okay, this is a good way. We immediately started throwing some ice into this puddle. '
After finishing speaking, Feifei picked up a few ice cubes and put them into the puddle. Although these ice blocks are also very huge, the volume of each block is several meters square. But because the gravitational force on Pallas is very small. It is also very easy for ordinary people to lift such a large ice cube.
Zhao Zhongyao was not idle either, he also lifted a piece of ice and put it into the puddle. Soon, in front of them, an ice bridge leading to the boulder was formed. Because Zhao Zhongyao and the others were standing only four or five meters away from the boulder in the middle of the puddle, and the ice they still went down was also two or three meters wide. In this case, with only four or five pieces of ice, a fairly stable ice bridge can be formed on the water surface.
It's just that when Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei flew to the puddle to still hold the ice, they startled the giant olm inside again.
It came out again. This time, not just one, but two or three. They were jumping just above the water, as if they were very frightened.
After all, for underground creatures like olms, their living environment has always been very quiet, and there may be no movement for many years.
However, the commotion created by Zhao Zhongyao and Feifei after they came in is very big. This time, the magical giant olm dormant in the water was naturally alarmed.
These olms swim up and down on the water surface, feeling very scared. But they can't go anywhere, there is only this puddle, and they can only swim in it.
When everyone saw these olms, they became scared again. Especially Qu Yuqian and Tiantian, when they saw Dongxun reappeared, they hid behind Zhao Zhongyao in fright.
At this time, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Qu Yuqian and Tiantian and said,'It's okay, this thing doesn't bite, so don't be afraid. Feifei and I went to the boulder to get the amethyst gem, you just wait here. '
After hearing this, Qu Yuqian and Tiantian nodded, then took a few steps back and hid aside.
After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he and Feifei walked onto the ice bridge, and then walked to the boulder smoothly. Using the previous method again, this amethyst gemstone was taken out again.
When this piece of amethyst flew out of that glass cover, it immediately emitted colorful lights again. It looks unusually magnificent and magical.
