Chapter 366 Elastic Potential Energy

Mo Ling's idea was simple.

Since the thing was broken, uncontrollable, and unrepairable, just dismantle it.

This was his usual style.

However, he also felt that his idea was a bit naive.

"Can it be... dismantled?" he asked the machine.

The machine listened to Mo Ling's words and was a little dazed.

"It really can be."

It told Mo Ling about the structure of Paradise Island.

"You can think of Paradise Island as an extremely dense thousand-layer cake..."

During the fall, Mo Ling also saw the layers of white domes.

Although it looks very deep and the thickness of each layer of the dome is different, the actual thickness of these domes is zero.

"When Si Yang built Paradise Island, he used a compression construction technology to distribute facilities with different functions on different domes, and then continued to compress them, and finally became a layer of 'film' covering the original island."

"This layer of 'film' contains the layers of domes. People outside can only see a thin layer. Only when you really enter the center can you see the original appearance of Paradise Island."

"So, I said before that this is the real Paradise Island."

The machine said while projecting a layered thousand-layer pancake structure with the equipment on his body.

"Now as long as this film is released, the entire Paradise Island can be completely demolished."

Mo Ling looked at the projection in front of him, a little puzzled: "After releasing the film, won't the entire Paradise Island expand instantly? Just like a spring."

The machine shook his head: "The spring can bounce up because its material is hard enough to withstand the released energy. If it can't withstand such energy, it will..."

The projection in front of the machine slowly compressed as it spoke, turning into a thin layer, and then quickly released.

The film that was compressed to the extreme was instantly destroyed by the huge potential energy and shattered into countless dust.

"Will it be destroyed?" Mo Ling asked in surprise, looking at the projection.

"Yes, it will be destroyed." The machine nodded: "And it will not have any impact on the original things on Paradise Island. The power released by the film is too strong. It will shatter all the domes in an instant without leaving a trace..."

Listening to the machine's words, Mo Ling was a little unbelievable. Such "demolition" seemed a little too thorough.

"Then what should be done to release this film? This is not a simple thing, right?"

"Just untie the rope..."

A projection appeared in front of the machine again, and the projection was a spring.

A rope appeared in the center of the spring, pulling the spring to the most extreme compression state.

Then, as the rope was untied, the spring instantly bounced out.

"The 'film' on Paradise Island is also tied by a rope, keeping the entire Paradise Island in a compressed state." The machine explained.

Listening to the machine's words, a huge chain suddenly appeared in Mo Ling's mind, connecting countless domes...

"Where is the rope?" he asked impatiently.

"Follow me." The machine waved to Mo Ling and walked to the other side of the feather sea.

Not long after, it stopped and said to Mo Ling: "The rope is right in front of you."

Mo Ling looked around and didn't see any rope.

"Where is it?"

There was nothing here, only an endless expanse of feathers, and no "rope" as the machine said.

"Look carefully, it's right in front of you. If you can't see it clearly, you can touch it with your hand, but be careful, it's very sharp..." the machine said to Mo Ling.

"In front..."

Mo Ling carefully stretched out his hand and touched forward.

Finally, he found the "rope".

However, the appearance of this "rope" surprised Mo Ling.

It's better to say that this is a "fishing line" than a "rope".

It was like a common transparent nylon line. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice that there was such a thin line in the pure white feather sea.

This line was stretched tightly, connecting all the way down to the depths covered by feathers, and there was no end to it upwards. It seemed to pass through the dome and extend to the invisible top.

Mo Ling's hand was about to touch it, but when he thought that this line was pulling the entire Paradise Island, his hand froze in mid-air.

"Don't be afraid, this line is very hard."

The machine came over, and a sharp machete popped out of the mechanical arm, and slashed at the thin line fiercely.

However, the expected scene of the thin line breaking did not appear, but the machine's machete was broken open.

The machine spread his hands and put the machete back.

"So hard?" Mo Ling asked in surprise.

"Of course, this line has to bear the elastic force of the entire Paradise Island. If it is too fragile, it would have been broken long ago."

"Please move aside for a moment, I'll show you."

The machine asked Mo Ling to step back a few steps, and then ejected scissors, electric saws, guns...

These tools took turns to be used, but none of them could cause any impact on the thin line.

"Such an important line is left here because no one will worry about it being damaged." The machine explained.

Mo Ling walked forward carefully and gently placed his hand on the thin line.

It was smooth and felt like the common nylon fishing lines, except that it still felt hard when pressed hard. Other than that, it was just ordinary.

"What on earth is this?" Mo Ling asked curiously, touching the thin line in front of him.

"Dragon tendons." The machine explained: "It can be considered a material, a material whose properties cannot be changed."

"This is the tendon of a creature from the third layer of the abyss. This creature looks like a dragon in human records, but it has no wisdom and is just a beast."

"Although this creature has no special abilities, it has such a tendon in its body. As it grows older, it gradually grows longer. After killing them and taking out the dragon tendon, this dragon tendon will remain in the state when it was taken and will never change."

"Many races will hunt this creature, resulting in this creature being almost invisible in the third layer of the abyss now, and dragon tendons have become a very precious material."

"These dragon tendons cannot be cut off, nor will they be affected by the external environment. They are extremely tough and can be said to be the hardest material. Moreover, when different dragon tendons are put together, they will merge into longer dragon tendons by themselves."

The machine looked at the thin line that reached the sky and said lightly:

"There are tens of thousands of them here."

Listening to the machine's explanation, Mo Ling sighed again.

"It turns out that not only the feathers on the ground, but even this thin thread is a part of the body peeled off from the living creature."

How many lives are buried on Paradise Island?
