Chapter 704 Underground World

half year later.

The College Alliance has experienced the Battle of Pangula Heights, and the cornerstone of order has been completely established.

The seven central academies are the Glen Academy of Natural Sciences, the Flame Demon Academy of Natural Sciences, the Thunder Century Academy of Sciences, the Vladik Academy of War Sciences, the Hell Academy of Liberal Arts, the X Academy of Progress, and the Sicilian Academy of Natural Sciences.

Unfortunately, the contenders Vladik Academy of Sciences, Corleone Academy of Biological Specimens, and Tree of Life Academy were not nominated in the end.

Serratos and Corleone are quite tolerant.

After all, after witnessing the brutality of this war, the cost of capturing the Central College was so huge. It was a blessing that the two colleges suffered relatively small losses in this war. If the two of them had to choose again, they would probably be more inclined. the latter.

More than 10,000 scholars were killed or injured, more than 200 balloons and airships crashed, and even the giant turtle Shenwu died in the battle, including more than a dozen college presidents and academician-level beings.

The result of this war is this metal cube of more than thirty meters.

In the past six months, with the full support of the Grantham Academy of Natural Sciences, a curvature space technology research laboratory with first-class equipment and technology was finally built at a secret base of the Windsor Academy of Natural Sciences.

Although it is not possible to equip this place with a third-generation energy source in a short period of time, Lei Luo has used the existing resources at hand to equip this secret laboratory with three second-generation laboratories for parallel use. Although it is not yet fully satisfactory for the laboratory All the requirements, but if it is just an ordinary basic experiment, it is enough.

now.

Windsor took Lei Luo, and after being monitored by numerous secret guards, the two came to the laboratory three hundred meters deep underground.

"Because my naming experience is limited, I will temporarily name this metal maze 55cm super-body space."

Windsor introduced the situation of this trophy to Lei Luo.

Lei Luo followed Windsor and walked into the interior of the cube. Inside was a box-in-box maze. There were already several bachelors who were familiar to Lei Luo stationed there, conducting observations and measurements with a rigorous and meticulous attitude.

"Why is it only five centimeters?"

Lei Luo noticed the scale mark inside. After discovering that the internal space of the box-in-box was only five centimeters larger than the external space, he couldn't help but asked in confusion.

Judging from his experience breaking into another ordinary matrix tower, the internal space is obviously much larger than the external space, and it is more than one meter by visual inspection. Therefore, Lei Luo, who is very familiar with digital units, discovered it at a glance. If the abnormality is only five centimeters, Lei Luo can't guarantee it.

A box within a box, the inner box is larger than the outer box. This is really counterintuitive to the normal space cognition in the real world.

"It's really only five centimeters."

Windsor walked forward with a stack of documents in her arms, and came to a corner of this cubic metal space, where there was a replacement desk for her, and placed the documents on it.

Adjusting his glasses frame, Windsor said: "In the past six months, I have made full use of the existing experimental conditions and conducted various experiments on this 5-centimeter superbody space. With all due respect, with the current knowledge system of our human academia, For a short period of time, it is simply impossible to understand the order and laws involved."

"Um."

As expected, Lei Luo said in a deep voice: "A mature civilization often needs hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years of growth. It only takes half a year. Don't be too impatient."

Lei Luo's comfort made Windsor shake his head.

She sighed: "There's no time."

When Lei Luo heard this, he was dumbfounded and said nothing more.

Lei Luo began to follow Windsor's request and use his mental power to enter the curvature space, trying to understand the mystery of this 5-centimeter super-body space through the wall shadow demon.

Soon, Lei Luo's mental power crystal entered the curvature space through the gap maintained by Windsor.

Even in the underground space of more than 300 meters, the curvature of the space is still constantly changing from extremely bright to extremely dark, and then from extremely dark to extremely bright without any pause.

As far as the eye can see, everything is normal, nothing special is found.

Lei Luo searched for a long time in this 5-centimeter super-body space, but could not find anything special about it, and could not find out what its secret was.

In the corner of the laboratory, there is an ugly red-haired otter-like creature with a magnetic field fastened to it.

Lei Luo noticed.

Although this ugly creature is imprisoned by the magnetic field, it is not actually imprisoned by the space-time nature of the curvature space. Instead, it restricts its actions when the curvature space enters the extreme brightness. Therefore, it actually restricts its actions.

This wall demon looks very weak and thin. His eyes are staring at Lei Luo, a little curious and eager, like a beggar.

After thinking about it, Lei Luo spit out a few energy points, which were absorbed by the red-haired otter-like wall shadow demon.

But it didn't seem to be satisfied. Instead, it became more urgent. After the curvature space entered the extreme brightness, it kept making slight struggling movements, trying to escape from the constraints of the magnetic field. After thinking about it, Lei Luo finally decided to have a relationship with this wall demon. Communicate and continue to give it light spots of energy.

This continued for more than ten days.

During the one-minute test twice a day, Lei Luo continued to give energy points to the wall demon, as if feeding a pet. After more than ten days, Lei Luo could clearly feel that this creature seemed to I have let down my guard against myself.

finally.

On this day, after Lei Luo once again gave him enough energy light points in the curvature space, in the light gray matter layer from extremely bright to extremely dark in the curvature space, it actually moved. From this restraint it The magnetic field cage is gone!

You know, the energy thinness in the curvature space is almost thinner than the vacuum of the universe. Lei Luo once guessed that the reason why the wall shadow demon only acted when the curvature space entered the bright pole was to do everything possible to reduce energy consumption.

In other words, these wall shadow demons are not incapable of moving in the deep curvature space, but their huge mass volume cannot sustain the energy consumption of the deep curvature space.

Now that the other party has escaped from the cage bound by the magnetic field, both Lei Luo's spiritual power crystal clone in the curvature space and other staff in the 5-centimeter super-body space laboratory have entered a state of high alert to prevent possible incidents. Accident.

Soon, this ugly creature like a red otter began to try to communicate with Lei Luo again.

Countless black curvature space entrances are gathered by it, forming a series of dynamic patterns that are constantly expanding and harvesting. Unfortunately, even though Lei Luo was once an esoteric scholar and has learned a lot of texts from other ethnic groups, he has not been able to pass through other groups so far. The rules of writing, find the entry point for understanding these wall shadow demon writings.

However, the commonly used means of mental communication in the real world cannot be completed by humans in the curvature space at this stage, at least Lei Luo cannot complete it yet.

One minute passed quickly, and the embodied time of the law of gravity reached its limit.

"How's it going? Is there any result?"

Lei Luo rubbed his forehead, took out the crystal ball, and recorded the dynamic text of the wall demon he saw, while shaking his head tiredly.

These days of continuous high-intensity experiments with the embodiment of your laws have made him very tired.

With a sigh, Windsor said in a low voice: "Do you want to restrain this wall demon again? Although based on the qualifications of scholars who can occasionally enter this laboratory, this wall demon should not pose a threat, but if you let it As it develops here, there will be more and more holes in time and space, until it turns this place into another black ice area of ​​​​the death abyss. This is the five centimeter super body laboratory. I don’t know what impact it will have. Until I get the answer, I will still Don’t want to cause trouble, right?”

"no."

Lei Luo said decisively: "No matter what, this creature has shown its wisdom. Through these ten days of contact, we have made considerable progress in communication. Although these dynamic texts are special, if we are given more time, It’s not undecipherable, it’s much better than mindless random research. I think third-party perception of curvature space through the wall shadow demon is the fastest way for us to master the knowledge of superhuman time and space.”

In the end, Windsor chose to believe in Lei Luo and did not insist anymore, allowing the mysterious shadow to swim in the laboratory.

Two years later!

Lei Luo and everyone in the 5cm Super Space Secret Laboratory used two experiments a day, each experiment could only last for one minute. After two years of persistence, they finally conducted experiments on the "text" of the Wall Shadow Demon. Initial decipherment.

but.

Rather than saying that these are the words of the Wall Shadow Demon, it is better to say that this is a way of expressing emotions of the Wall Shadow Demon, because emotions will take different forms depending on the situation over time, but the words remain the same.

Obviously, the 'text' of the Wall Shadow Demon is full of randomness.

It is precisely because of the difficulty of communication between the two parties that the laboratory tried its best to decipher, but it was unable to allow Lei Luo and the wall shadow demon to form effective communication, let alone use the wall shadow demon to help scholars decipher the time and space knowledge of super-body people. .

Fortunately, in the past two years, humans have made considerable progress through their own technological research.

After precise human measurement.

The actual error size of this 5-centimeter superspace box-in-box is not a complete 5 centimeters, but 5.0168 centimeters, which is accurate to four decimal places.

If it is just that, it obviously has no practical significance.

However, it must be mentioned that over the past two years, through this battle, the Academy Alliance has not only seized the 5 cm super space, but also obtained more than a dozen metal balls with a diameter of about 10 cm, which are the thunder balls. The substance that Luo's projection clone killed twice.

Vladik War Academy was the first to discover the mystery of this metal ball.

The first is that the metal ball decomposes through chemical materials. There is nothing special. It seems to be just an ordinary alloy ball.

Although the fusion ratio of rare elements in the alloy ball is wonderful, and when combined with each other, it has the property of raising the melting point and stability of metal materials to a higher level. However, after being imitated in the same ratio by various major human science academies, they have never been able to achieve the same level of hardness. It seems to be just an ordinary alloy.

As a result, materials science research in major colleges has reached a bottleneck.

Vladik War College was the first college to propose that the forging process is in its primitive state in the first step of human materials science research. If you want to improve the progress of materials science, the alchemy process must complete a metamorphosis, and it must no longer be just a simple process. It's just smelting at high temperatures.

in this way.

By chance, a mentor from the Vladik Academy of Sciences accidentally discovered that the material arrangement of this super metal alloy ball was all arranged at a "magic angle" of 11.38°, neat and uniform, without any flaws.

In comparison, in the alloy balls of the same proportion prepared by humans through simple high-temperature smelting, all the basic particles are in a chaotic and chaotic shape that tends to be cold and indifferent, tending to a dispersed average shape.

Although it is not known what kind of process was used in the alchemy and forging of the superhuman being to arrange all the basic particles at a 'magic angle' of 11.38°, there is no doubt that this must contain some elements of the current human beings. Mysteries that are inaccessible to academia.

So why do we talk about these two things together?

What I have to say is that in the academic field of materials science, an alchemist master who forged the source of power made an accidental discovery, created a magic material called cracked gold, and proposed the magic conductivity calculation formula and The formula for calculating the hardness of a material is an innovation similar to the scholar's degree measurement method proposed by Sicily.

According to the formula for calculating the hardness of a substance, the tutor from the Vladik Academy of Sciences found that after bringing the 11.38 degree condition into the formula and optimizing the formula based on past conventional phenomena, he found that the result of the formula would be Become two different answers to X and Y.

And one of the answers is 5.0168 centimeters!

In this way, this scholar put forward a bold conjecture. Perhaps the superhuman's alchemical process not only added a magnetic field that can change the order of basic particles, but also invented a technology that can forge in curvature space?

Lei Luo has no way of knowing the answer to all this for the time being.

Research on materials science in academia is in full swing, but Lei Luo has a more important task that he needs to complete, which is to go to the dark valley of the zero-dimensional space in the underground world to find the true image of the 5-centimeter super-space space mentioned by the canary!

The Dark Valley of Zero Space is located on the edge of the underground world.

In the underground world, the number of lava valleys is much greater than that of Dark Valley, and the creatures in lava valleys are also the mainstream in the underground world.

But this does not mean that the dark creatures are not important. On the contrary, major events in the underground world that can quickly change history often start from the dark valley. For example, the first victory of the underground world's war against superhuman beings was in this place called Produced in the dark valley of zero dimension.

"Victory is hidden in the world of 5 centimeters."

Lei Luo murmured these words, with the worried Canary standing on his shoulder, and embarked on the journey to the underground world.

The passage that once led to the underground world has been almost completely destroyed with the destruction of the underground world by the superhuman beings. Even if it has not been completely destroyed, it is due to the frequent wars in recent years and the repeated use of various powerful weapons, which has led to As the tectonic plates shift, the journey into the underground world will become more dangerous.

Fortunately, Kuriana, the human-faced spider mother, told Lei Luo a secret passage leading to the underground world.

More than half a month later.

Lei Luo finally followed what Kuriana pointed out and came to this familiar cave, the place where the human-faced spider was first discovered. At that time, the Principality of Glen was still at war with the Principality of Sealand. Now things have changed.

The caves are crisscrossed and filled with miasma.

Canary seemed to smell a familiar scent, and she was shocked and said: "It smells of decay."

Lei Luo didn't say much. He followed Kuriana's route map, twisted around in the cave, passed through several secret passages covered by arrangements, and finally came to a dark cave with dim gray smoke.

The entrance of the cave is only four or five meters away, and the gray smoke is filled with the smell of high temperature and sulfur burning.

"Are you sure there is an underground world down here?"

Lei Luo stood at the entrance of the cave and frowned slightly, and said quietly: "With all due respect, I don't feel any life from these gray rocks."

"In order to completely exterminate the creatures in the underground world, those superhuman beings began to destroy the passages to the underground world one by one after the Dark Demon was defeated, leaving only a few of the most dangerous passages in Pangula Highlands. If you If you don’t want to try it here, you can only go to Pangula Heights.”

Lei Luo couldn't help but change his face when he mentioned Pangula Highlands.

As far as he knew, the main army of superhuman beings that had been sent to the underground world for a war of extermination had returned to the surface. For a long time, they had had many conflicts with the ancient gods gathered there to protect them. Conflict, even Quanzu, who had selected humans as having the potential to fight and grow, took action several times.

All in all, with the presence of those innate ancient gods, the superhumans will not attack the Wasteland Academy Alliance for the time being, but as Windsor said, there is not much time left for the Academy Alliance.

"This is it!"

After sighing, Lei Luo took Canary and resolutely walked into the cave that was filled with thick high-temperature gray smoke, and his figure was gradually submerged.

The deeper he went underground, the less spacious the cave Lei Luo expected appeared. The cave became narrower and narrower, with a diameter of only two or three meters, which made Min Se more and more dignified.

After about two hourglass dives.

As a flash of orange suddenly appeared in his field of vision, Lei Luo was startled, thinking that he had finally reached the underground world, and he couldn't help but float a little faster.

After he came to the top of the lava lake and circled it, he realized that this was a closed space!

Goo-doo, goo-doo, goo-doo.

The high-temperature magma distorts the air, bubbles constantly, and occasionally large rocks fall overhead. The geological environment here is very unstable.

This is also a matter of course.

Without the support of the power of belief in the gods, although these valleys will not be destroyed instantly like the eye of the storm on the surface, they will not be much better. They will only extend the time for several hundred years, and will eventually be filled and destroyed by active geological plates.

In other words, this is not an underground world passage at all, but just an ordinary volcano crater?

Silent and flying all the way, Lei Luo looked extremely gloomy.

"Wait a moment!"

The canary jumping on Lei Luo's shoulder suddenly noticed something.

It pointed at an upside-down stalactite and said: "Look, this used to be a dark valley, but it was submerged by magma for some unknown reason. It should have been affected by the war in the nearby lava valley, which affected this place!"

"Um?"

Just overwhelmed?

Lei Luo became interested and asked: "Then do you know the direction of the cave entrance and how to get to other valleys? There may be lava valleys or dark valleys that have not been destroyed by the superhumans."

"The underground world is so big. I have never been here before. Anyway, if you look around slowly, there will definitely be clues!"

This search took three hourglasses of time.

After unremitting efforts, the two finally found a passage that was most likely to lead to other valleys, but it had obviously been submerged by rolling magma. Only through some traces of artificial buildings on the calm magma lake could it be judged that this place was once a city. Gathering point.

Since it is difficult for dark creatures to survive in magma, Lei Luo had no choice but to support the 1024 Night Protective Cover, and with a "pop", the canary was embedded into the seemingly calm magma here.

Underneath the lava lake, there is indeed a turbulent situation!

Lei Luo went upstream, and after struggling for a while, he finally came to another large valley.

The space here seems to be much larger than the previous valley, but the environment is even worse. Large and small crustal rocks above the head are falling almost all the time. At the same time, toxic black smoke is billowing out of the lava lake, and the space is filled with poison. , dried lava creature corpses everywhere on the stone wall.

"Look, there's purgatory lava over there!"

After spending a while, Canary finally discovered the first monster after the two came to the underground world.

The so-called purgatory lava is a rare elemental creature in the Star Curtain Land. Its body is made of stones, but these stones are just soaked in the magma of the underground world for many years and emit astonishingly high temperatures.

Lei Luo remained calm and quickly moved closer with Canary.

"A dark creature?"

This purgatory lava was about three meters high, sitting on a raised scorched rock on the lava lake, motionless. It noticed the arrival of the two people, its eyes fell on the canary, and it made a weak sound.

Yes, it is weak and dying.

"Did superhuman beings break the tectonic plates that led to the destruction here? Why are you so weak!"

"No, it's not just because of the plans for the crustal plate, but also because of the creatures that escaped from the Dark Demon's expedition. They brought back terrible plagues. We valley creatures close to the landmark world have suffered the most terrible extinction, and those In order to prevent the spread of the plague, the demon gods have long since secretly blocked the circulation between the major valleys. We have no way to escape and can only wait to die where we are... So, where did you come from?"

As he said that, Purgatory Lava wanted to struggle and change his position to sit cross-legged, but because he was too weak, he almost fell into the lava pool, so he had to give up.

"We just got back here from the surface world."

When Purgatory Lava heard this, he was a little surprised and sighed: "The creatures there are also on the verge of extinction just like the underground world, right?"

"No!"

Canary said solemnly: "They evolved and defeated the superhumans."

When Purgatory Lava heard this, he was stunned for a moment, obviously not believing it.

But after seeing the affirmative look in Canary's eyes, it shook its head and sighed: "Is he your friend? In that case, why do you still come down? The underground world has been almost destroyed by the superhumans. The once magnificent buildings The temples, the countless myths and stories, and the delicious tinder crab from the Orman Lava Valley, nothing is left.”

"For knowledge!"

Suddenly, Lei Luo spoke.

He stared at the weak purgatory lava and said calmly: "We are going to a dark valley called zero-dimensional space to find a kind of knowledge that is urgently needed by humans on the surface, so as to gain powerful power and allow civilization to continue to multiply and pass on."

"Zero-dimensional space, zero-dimensional space..."

Purgatory Lava murmured for a long time, but failed to provide Lei Luo with any relevant clues, but fortunately, it told Lei Luo a secret passage that led to a nearby dark valley.
