Chapter 957 Heart of the Swarm
Since the "observer" wraps the earth with a yellow light film, when viewed from the starry sky, the earth is no longer blue, and the glowing yellow color looks a bit like Atas. When the earth shrank into a small dot in the universe, everyone finally arrived at Venus.
From the outside, Venus is surrounded by a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, so it is obscured by clouds and fog and cannot be seen through. No matter what magic detection method it is, it will be greatly compromised in the face of such dense obstacles. Zhao Mai could use the Z-worm's domain to determine the location when teleporting. Relying on this ability, he took the Chimera spacecraft to explore the sea of clouds. Soon, everyone saw a huge cylindrical object approaching the spacecraft.
"Don't worry, that's the Starfish Mothership." Zhao Mai said to everyone: "Follow its tentacles and you can reach the core base of Venus. Oh, by the way, the existence here is absolutely confidential. If I hear If there are any rumors outside, I will never be polite."
Serena waved her hand: "I definitely won't tell you. I am impressed by your ability to set up a base on Venus! It's just Jack... he often can't control his mouth."
Captain Jack wanted to defend himself, but he opened his mouth slightly but couldn't find any good excuse. "How about you guys knock me out, and I'll just pretend I don't know anything."
"Shut up honestly, no one will mention Venus, so just don't take the initiative to speak." Zhao Mai closed his eyes and directed the Chimera to fly. Ahead of them, the air became gradually cleaner and the concentration of carbon dioxide dropped significantly. This is the core area of Xirang, with the largest number of incubation rooms and refining rooms, transforming the surrounding environment all the time. Although there is still a long way to go before changing the environment of the entire Venus, it is possible to improve the gas composition in local areas.
But this cannot offset the destructive effect of ninety atmospheres of pressure on the human body. Except for Zhao Mai and Xiaohua, everyone else needs to use Zhao Mai's "life-sustaining bubble" spell to provide a cyclic environment, plus the "environmental adaptation" spell cast by Satiri, in order to leave the Chimera spacecraft.
It's just that Jack won't get off the boat until he's beaten to death. "The captain should stay with the ship, even if it is someone else's ship!" He said plausibly, "A qualified navigator only carries out his own adventures and does not interfere with other people's. So don't let me leave here!"
"Then you won't get off the ship and look around when you reach other worlds?"
"I once looked around, and all the results were unlucky. I found many treasures, such as the Fountain of Youth and the Golden Compass, but they were all lost inexplicably. Later I understood that as long as I didn't get off the ship, I would be subject to Protected. Therefore, I will not participate in other people’s expeditions. I wish you good luck!”
"What kind of adventure are we going on? This pair of us is going home!" Satiri was already eager to try and prepared to go down before Zhao Mai, but was held back by the sharp-eyed Zhao Mai with his psychic powers. "Remember, no matter what the environment, I am always the first to go. I have the strongest ability to adapt and perceive, and this is also my responsibility."
"I want to see Qiuqiu." Satiri pouted: "When I came to Venus, I could feel a very strong telepathy, as if she was calling her mother. Look, look, my belly is Move, little Qiqi is moving her body inside!"
"Be patient, there is plenty of time." Zhao Mai understood her anxiety, so he stopped delaying and came to the door to welcome everyone out one by one. He uses the force of nature to keep an eye on everyone's physical condition and is always ready to use magic to rescue them. It seemed that his Druid spells were completely familiar. Whether it was lack of oxygen, high air pressure or high temperature, he had passed all these tests.
The difference in air density will affect the propagation of sound, so everyone simply talked on Zhao Mai's psychic network. When a group of jumping garden dragons appeared, most people had the illusion that they were still on earth. "I didn't expect that these cute little guys look so weak, but their bodies are so strong!" Duojian habitually stretched out his hand to pinch the tender flesh on Gardener Long's face, "Hey, why don't you feel as good as the water on earth? ?”
"Oh, there is a lack of hydrogen on Venus. Synthesizing water is quite troublesome. The speed and efficiency of the refining chamber are not very good. In fact, there is a lot of hydrogen in the universe. I asked the Chimera to find a solution in space." Zhao Mai explained to Duojian: "Coupled with the high temperature and pressure here, it is good that the Gardener Dragon has not withered and turned yellow. After all, the soil and water support the people."
"Will the ball turn yellow and wrinkle? I don't want that! Where is she?" Satiri looked around and pointed in a direction following the telepathy between parent and child: "Is it over there?"
"That's right, let's go." What Zhao Mai meant by walking was actually using his psychic powers to lift everyone up and fly them from a low altitude. This was nothing to him. He arranged a Gardener Dragon for each person. On the one hand, it can be taken care of nearby. On the other hand, if there is a problem, the Gardener Dragon can also come to the rescue, use its own energy to maintain life, and then use the Z-worm network to ask for help. Speaking of caution, Zhao Mai is actually more cautious than Jack, who is unwilling to get off the boat.
The reason why we have to fly over at a low altitude is to avoid the numerous incubation rooms. Although Blue Fire Starfish is more space-efficient and can provide the same level of energy, it is also very important to obtain and transform enough materials. On the surface of Venus, there are tens of thousands of incubators densely packed, with conical spiers exposed in the semi-submerged land transformed by soil. If you look down from a high altitude, you will see that these spiers are still opening and closing, emitting lighter-density gas, which is more frightening than fluffy breasts. It is estimated that people with trypophobia will get sick.
Right in the center of the "farmland" of the incubator, nutrients and energy are connected by thick soil transmission pipes. A ten-meter-high cocoon stands on the ground, beating slowly like a heart. Satiri cried after taking one look: "Why is it so big? What should I do?"
"Don't get me wrong, what you see is just the shell. In fact, the ball is only this big now." Zhao Mai made a gesture about the size of a rugby ball. "Oh, just to remind you, no matter how tempting it is, don't touch the ball directly. She will come back to you and then suck you into a mummy within a minute. This will cause a tragedy of one corpse and three lives. "
"Don't say such terrible things in front of the children!" Satiri waved her hands vigorously and asked: "How do I get in? Can I take a look?"
"Use magic to see, don't walk in. The more you love your child, the less you can act randomly during pregnancy." Zhao Mai said to her: "You can feel the two of them with your psychic powers. Emotions. Just use emotions to communicate. It’s not time to teach them all kinds of knowledge, and don’t promise when they will be born, because I don’t know this..."
