Chapter 710 The Ocean of Machinery, High Temperature and Heat Wave

"It's really dark in here."

Walking in the narrow passage, Li Wenxi sighed.

"Doesn't the interior of this giant ship need light? Don't alien invaders like light to begin with?"

"That shouldn't be the case." Xu Xin shook his head, "There is plenty of light in the World Tree."

"It seems that alien invaders also have the habit of turning off lights and saving energy." Xu Ying said with a smile.

Although it's dark here, the three of them all have night vision, so it doesn't matter to them whether it's dark or not.

but……

"It's not just dark, but it's also getting hotter and hotter." Li Wenxi wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeves and said, "The ambient temperature alone is starting to reach 40 degrees now..."

Having just experienced extremely low temperatures, the three of them now entered a very hot environment.

"Well, and..."

Xu Xin turned her face sideways and covered the forward half of her face with her arms.

call--

From the end of the passage, a wave of heat greeted us.

The temperature of the air wave was not low, starting at at least fifty degrees, as if it was burning the faces of the three of them.

"Um...what is this heat, and..."

Li Wenxi hid behind Xu Xin, covering her mouth and nose: "This smell is really bad."

"It does smell bad." Xu Ying also hid behind Xu Xin, covering her mouth and nose and nodding in agreement.

"You two..."

Xu Xin looked helplessly at the two people behind him.

Every ten seconds or so, a wave of heat will hit you.

The heat wave mixed with the damp smell of rust makes people feel a little heady.

What was even more unacceptable was the unpleasant smell of wet rotten acid.

It smells like a piece of rotten tofu that has been left out for more than ten days in humid and hot weather.

Although it is not strong, it is still disgusting.

"Hey..."

Coco buried her head in Xu Xin's arms.

But it felt it was too hot, so it only buried its head in it, leaving its entire body exposed.

The big tail is still wagging back and forth.

"Let's pick up the pace."

The three of them moved faster.

They discovered that even if they were so fast that the Invisible Cloak failed, there would be no problem.

There doesn't seem to be any surveillance equipment here, so there's no need to worry about being discovered.

Moreover, there seems to be no connected energy source here, including the cold storage they went to before.

There was no light or any moving machinery.

Total darkness.

If it weren't for the oncoming heat wave, they might have thought that this place was an abandoned place.

"Have you noticed that the direction we are heading now is consistent with the direction of the cold storage we just left?"

Li Wenxi suddenly discovered a problem.

The entrance to the heat wave channel and the entrance to the giant beast cold storage are not on the same wall, so the directions of the natural entrances are also different.

But after they entered the heat wave channel, they walked diagonally downward for dozens of meters, then suddenly changed direction and walked towards the previous cold storage.

Calculating the position, this direction should be the tail of the giant ship.

"Although it is in the direction of the cold storage, we walked dozens of meters downward. The location we are going to is at least below the cold storage." Xu Ying said.

"Oh..." Li Wenxi blinked, "Underneath the cold storage... is a 'big stove' that blows hot air? Doesn't this reduce the freezing efficiency of the cold storage?"

"...Is there a possibility that it's actually the other way around?" Xu Xin said.

"The other way around? You mean..."

"One of the purposes of the cold storage is to cool down this 'big furnace'."

Xu Xin suddenly felt slightly excited.

What needs massive cooling in a giant ship?

At least in Xu Xin's opinion, he can only think of one.

"Ah...! Could it be that the front is..."

Li Wenxi and Xu Ying immediately understood what Xu Xin meant, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

“Is that the engine of this giant ship in front?!”

"It's very possible." Xu Xin nodded, "At least it should be part of the power system."

Since the giant ship is so huge, the volume occupied by the power system should also be very large.

Their current location is in the middle and lower part of the giant ship, and it is indeed very likely that they are close to the power system.

"Oh... In other words, those alien invader soldiers who died outside the dormant cabin actually also have the responsibility to protect the engine of the giant ship?"

Xu Ying said to herself.

"It's a pity that they died inexplicably for no reason."

It's really baffling.

Not to mention having been dead for at least seven days, they didn't even take the weapons in the dormant chamber, and they all died outside the dormant chamber.

It gives the impression that they actually died while they were still in the dormant chamber.

The dormant chamber opened and their bodies fell out.

Then the dormant warehouse was closed, resulting in the strange scene that Xu Xin and the others saw.

"It's good to die. It saves us a lot of trouble!" Li Wenxi pulled Xu Xin and Xu Ying to speed up, "Quick, let's go see if it's the engine. If so..."

"If so, we may not be able to do anything." Xu Xin reminded her.

After all, it is the top priority. Normal engines need to bear extremely high pressure and must not be damaged.

The engine and power system are not necessarily less rigid than the outer shell of this giant ship.

"Oh, let's go and take a look first."

The three of them even started running.

Anyway, it's not dangerous here for the time being, and running can save time.

Getting hotter.

Soon, the three of them saw the red light source in front of them.

It's not the red color of scarlet crystal, but the kind of dark red color that occurs when metal is burned to a high temperature and then gradually cools down.

After walking dozens of steps, I suddenly became enlightened.

"Is this... is this the power system of a giant ship?" Li Wenxi opened her eyes wide.

"Oh...it's really big, big and complicated." Xu Ying was also surprised.

"It's expected. Don't forget how big this giant ship is." Xu Xin said.

What the three of them saw in front of them was an extremely huge and complex mechanical ocean.

The entire area is endless as it is blocked by densely packed mechanical pipes, air pumps and other equipment.

There are no roads here, just a sea of ​​machines.

Continuing forward, both the top and bottom are filled with various mechanical devices.

At the same time, the most eye-catching thing is a huge mechanical device like a heart.

This huge device was above the three of them, emitting a dark red color as the metal cooled, illuminating the space into a hot red.

This device is located above this area, and Xu Xin and the others can only see it by raising their heads.

This metal cylinder is like an engine, at least thirty or forty meters long and wide.

Almost...as big as a ten-story building.

Such a large mechanical device was hung in front of and above Xu Xin and the others.

"Is this thing... an engine?" Li Wenxi said in surprise, "It's so big... but it doesn't seem to be very big compared to this giant ship..."

Naturally, for a giant ship that is two kilometers long and several hundred meters high, a building is not that big.

At this moment, the heart-like metal cylinder suddenly ejected a stream of gas from the upper air port.

It directly burns the metal plate above it red!

And in the entire space, the smell of extremely hot metal waste became even stronger!

In an instant, the heat wave directly enveloped the three of them.

"So hot!"

"ah!!"

"hiss--"

"嘤嘤嘤!"

Although the air wave sprayed out nearly fifty meters above Xu Xin and others, the position where it sprayed was still facing the metal wall above.

But the air wave that swept over Xu Xin and the others was still extremely hot!

The temperature is at least seventy or eighty degrees!

Fortunately, the three of them were not ordinary people, and the temperature only lasted for one second, so they were not burned.

"What...what is this!" Li Wenxi covered her burned red face with her palms to cool down, and said with some horror, "We are so far away from each other and the temperature is so high, so the temperature of the gas ejected from it, It has to be at least a thousand degrees, right?"

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Xu Ying was also rubbing her face, looking warily at the metal device as big as a building above, "Maybe it's thousands of degrees. If this metal wall is iron, maybe it's It just melted away!”

The melting point of iron is 1538 degrees and the boiling point is 2750 degrees.

The temperature of this air wave may exceed 3,000 degrees...

If the wall being sprayed was made of iron, it would not only melt, but might even turn into gaseous iron...

And this device that looks like an engine does not seem to be running, but cooling.

Because the pipes, gears, etc. in all directions are stationary.

It’s hard to imagine how hot it would be if it was fully powered...

And at this moment, another wave of heat surged out from the mouth above the metal cylinder!

Moreover, the temperature seems to be higher this time!

"Brother! Take out that cooling device quickly!" Xu Ying covered her face and shouted.

Xu Xin was already turning the bracelet at this time.

Immediately, the small mechanical device as big as a table that Xu Xin had put into his bracelet appeared on the ground in front of the three of them.

At this moment, Xu Xin and the others felt an unparalleled sense of refreshment.

The temperature dropped rapidly.

But the next second, hot gas had already surged over.

The three of them immediately experienced what it means to be in the two heavens of ice and fire.

Hot and cold.

On one side is a small device that is one hundred degrees below zero and is absorbing heat like crazy.

On one side is scalding gas above eighty degrees.

This feeling... is so sour.

It's like feeling hot when you're covered with a quilt, but cold when you stretch out your legs.

It’s a hundred times more exaggerated than this feeling!

However, the air wave came over fifty meters after all, and most of the heat seemed to be absorbed by the metal wall above.

Therefore, the air wave did not hit this heat-absorbing device.

In the end, the temperature around Xu Xin and the others dropped sharply.

But the air waves still transport heat outwards in waves, so the heat-absorbing device only reduces the surrounding area a few meters below zero. If it is further away, the temperature will rise significantly.

Take two steps and the temperature will return to 40 or 50 degrees.

"Um...I finally feel comfortable." Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and wiped her forehead.

Because the three of them were very close to the heat-absorbing device and the temperature was below 0 degrees, the sweat on her head had frozen.

Li Wenxi took a step further outside, found a location with a relatively suitable temperature, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, this temperature is too scary..."

"There shouldn't be such a terrifying temperature here." Xu Ying looked up at the location where the huge mechanical heart was spewing hot air.

"Oh? Could it be that there..." Xu Xin's heart moved.

"Yeah. This small device should have been placed above the position where the hot air was ejected."

Xu Ying pointed to the heat-absorbing device in front of her.

She can teleport to places she has visited, and naturally knows the places she has visited.

The position above is exactly where the small device was before, there is no doubt about it.

She can even teleport directly up now.

"This device really cools down the engine!" Li Wenxi said in surprise, "Isn't that a bit crude? This cooling device can be taken away easily."

"Cool down the engine and at the same time create that low-temperature giant ice sculpture environment." Xu Xin said.

"Is this thing really an engine?" Xu Ying looked at the mechanical device above that was still spewing gas.

"Maybe it's just one of them." Xu Xin looked at the sea of ​​machines.

"I also think there should be many." Li Wenxi nodded, "Cars from thousands of years ago had sixteen-cylinder engines. Why should the engine of this giant ship start with sixteen cylinders?"

"That's not enough, this tank is just that big." Xu Xin said with a smile.

"so what?"

Xu Ying looked up at the giant metal tank above.

"Did you come here in vain? There seems to be nothing here."

really.

Ahead is a sea of ​​machines.

There was no way to go.

If you step on these machines, you can walk through the gaps.

But if these things suddenly started to operate, they would probably be minced first and then roasted...

"Well... I feel like there should be a road inside." Li Wenxi frowned and said with some distress, "My ability seems to be able to find a way from inside, but... I can't find the entrance."

"I also think there should be a way." Xu Xin nodded, "Otherwise, who will fix it if it's broken?"

"That's true, but..."

Xu Ying suddenly turned her head and looked at Coco, who was looking around curiously in Xu Xin's arms.

She raised the corner of her mouth, leaned forward, and stared at the little guy: "Keke, you must be able to find a way around, right?"

"Hey?"

Coco tilted her little head, then shook her head violently: "Uh-huh!"

Looking at it like this, it doesn’t seem like it doesn’t know, but...

Don't want to find it?

Moreover, Xu Xin did not feel panic from the little guy.

It just seems...

"Keke, do you think it's too hot, so you don't want to stay here anymore?" Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.

"Ugh..." Coco's ears drooped slightly.

"Okay, little guy, lead the way. Now that we're here, we must take a walk here."

Xu Xin has some ideas about this power system area.

If this power system can be destroyed...

Aren’t all the four giant ships of the alien invaders destroyed?

To take a step back, scarlet crystal is also needed to operate this power system, right?

There might be scarlet crystals in stock here.

They want to find and destroy the scarlet crystal here.

"Hey..."

Coco is still unwilling.

This cooling device cannot be carried with you. If you move, Xu Xin will put it in your bracelet.

The surrounding area would be too hot, and Keke's smart little mind might have thought of this, so she didn't want to move.

"If you don't lead the way, we will spend more time here." Xu Xin reminded.

"嘤?嘤!"

Coco finally gave in.

"Let's go."

Xu Xin put away the cooling device.

Suddenly, the heat wave came again.

"Hey!"

Coco jumped out of Xu Xin's arms and started running along the sea of ​​machines.

"Let's follow!"

The three of them followed Coco.

Finally, along with Coco, we dived into this almost completely static ocean of machinery.
