Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1768 Ecological Roller

Lan Nuo suddenly proposed that the destination ahead was what they were looking for in such a dead end. To be honest, many people were still not convinced. Fortunately, Elizabeth had seen his ability before. So she did not question it, but held a big fireball in one hand and threw it at the thick tree trunk in front. The way the devil solved the problem was so simple and crude. There was nothing that could not be solved by a powerful enough explosion. If there was, it must be that the equivalent was not enough.

A big hole was blown out in the vines, and after the vines were blown open, everyone saw a special passage inside. This passage was also covered with vines. These withered wooden structures extended towards the interior of the passage, looking quite purposeful.

"There really is a passage in here." Although Elizabeth already trusted Lan Nuo, she was still amazed when she saw that this was the damage control passage as he expected: "My dad is so amazing that he can send such an anthropologist to me."

Lan Nuo: "..."

Why is your dad always so good at everything? What does this have to do with your dad?

The narrow passage was a bit crowded for so many people, so they could only squeeze into a row and float towards the inside of the passage. As they slowly moved forward in the passage, they finally saw the internal structure of the devices that were previously tightly packaged on the outside.

When they got here, Hammer and his men knew how to disassemble the equipment. Mechanics is universal all over the world, and the connection methods are nothing more than screws, rivets, or mortise and tenon structures. The ideas are similar, and they rely on the experience accumulated in other machines in the past. They quickly disassembled the equipment that they couldn't understand one by one, intact, and passed it to the rear, ready to send it back to the Demon King's Castle.

Lan Nuo focused more of his energy on observation. These tentacles extending into the main channel were not aimless.

Lan Nuo noticed that these tentacles should be maintaining the spacecraft, taking on the original task of damage control personnel. If we extrapolate from the plot in the original book, what happened here should be a super life form called the eldest son, which collided with the spacecraft, causing the spacecraft to crash. It also caused the powerful eldest son to fall into a world without vitality and eventually starved to death.

But it seems that something else happened here besides the eldest son's starvation and the escape of the crew on the spacecraft.

"Everyone be careful. Don't touch any equipment that reacts with energy. Who knows if that thing belongs to these aliens. Especially you, put down the welding gun in your hand and change it to a screwdriver and a wrench. You use a welding gun on a device you don't recognize. What's the difference between welding detonators and sawing light bulbs?" Elizabeth scolded a group of reckless engineers, and at the same time followed Lan Nuo forward. In this intricate road like a maze, Lan Nuo's progress seemed to be very purposeful.

Mazes or unknown complex environments basically did not interfere with Lan Nuo, who had rehearsed, so he could go straight to his destination. During the observation, he found that these bases were indeed maintaining the movement of the spacecraft. And according to the traces of repairs here, the maintenance process was likely to be quite long, perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of years.

The eldest son chose to maintain the operation of the spacecraft, probably because there were still survivors on the spacecraft at that time. According to the clues given in the original book, the indigenous people on the spacecraft should have chosen to escape after the spacecraft crashed. However, such a huge spacecraft, and a three-dimensional structure, the number of crew members on it may have reached tens of billions. It is probably unrealistic to say that the lifeboat can allow everyone to leave.

Lan Nuo pondered: "In fact, there are some unreasonable points in the original plot. The crew members on the spacecraft have a high level of technology. They can undoubtedly realize the great value of the eldest son. It is the seed of life used by the goddess of creation to sow life on each planet. The life technology contained in it is basically at the top level of the universe.

If it were me, even if there were enough escape ships for everyone to leave, after leaving the space bubble zone, I would find a way to come back and take the weak eldest son away. Whether taking him back for research or other purposes, it would have incomparable value to a civilization.

However, the eldest son starved to death here. With the technology of this group of aliens, even if they could not take the eldest son away, they would definitely have no problem coming to feed him some supplies regularly. In this way, it seems that the group of aliens who left on the lifeboat may have encountered an accident, or there may have been an accident in this space bubble area itself, which led to its isolation from the outside world and made them unable to return for a while.

This should be the most reasonable explanation. Otherwise, Yzaks's Demon King Castle can travel through this special space and the demon plane. As a more powerful and intelligent life form, it is not difficult for the eldest son to go to the demon plane or other planes with planets and life even if he is seriously injured. He will not starve to death due to resource depletion like now. I am afraid that this space was not as stable as it is now, and it was not as easy to travel out as it is now."

Thinking of this, Lan Nuo seemed to have vaguely guessed what he was about to see.

The group continued to move forward. With Lan Nuo leading the way, they basically did not take any detours and came to the largest independent space inside the spacecraft from the damage control passage. According to Lan Nuo's judgment of the terrain of the spacecraft, the huge cavity in front should be the original drum ecological zone inside the spacecraft.

The ecological drum structure is the cheapest structure to provide simulated gravity. By rotating the drum, it simulates gravity like a washing machine spinning clothes. It can allow the most organisms to experience the feeling of living on the ground with the least consumption.

Although the technology of this group of aliens should be enough to make a gravity generator, the engineers and magicians in the Demon City can all do this, but this kind of equipment is undoubtedly more sophisticated and complex, and more difficult to maintain. If there is enough space, the ecological drum is undoubtedly the simplest, crudest, simplest and most efficient solution.

The biggest evidence of this theory was right in front of everyone. At the end of the damage control channel, they saw a huge magnetic levitation shaft, and they were walking in a channel inside the shaft. What shocked them the most was not the huge size of the shaft, but the fact that even now, when the spacecraft was in a dilapidated state, this huge shaft was still rotating slowly. Although the rotation speed was not very fast, the diameter of the drum itself was large enough to provide a considerable degree of simulated gravity.

"Everyone be careful, the machines here are still running. Watch out for defensive puppets that may attack us." Elizabeth obviously has a lot of experience in exploring all kinds of strange secrets. When seeing something that still moves, one must be alert and extremely vigilant. These things made by unknown civilizations, who knows if they will suddenly jump up and hit you in the face with a giant fireball.

Lan Nuo observed the diameter of the huge cylinder and calculated the angular velocity of rotation. He had a basic idea of ​​the cylinder. Compared with the initial time, the rotation speed of the cylinder should have been much lower. Although the interior of the spacecraft is a vacuum environment, it is still somewhat different from a real vacuum. The extremely thin air will still cause a certain degree of loss of rotational kinetic energy. However, the mass of this ecological drum is large enough, and the internal surface area is almost equivalent to half of Europe, which is why it can still continue to rotate until now.

When everyone entered the drum, they saw a deep, dark, and huge space like an abyss. The entrance in front was like the mouth of the abyss that swallowed everything. It was so dark inside that nothing could be seen.

Elizabeth rubbed a bright fireball and threw it out, enough to illuminate a castle like daylight. She threw it into the dark space, but not even a splash of water could be made. The space inside the cavity was too large, and the light ball could only illuminate the environment of an area around their passage. When it was transmitted to other walls farther away, the reflected light was already barely detectable and could not be captured at all. The visual effect was as if the light ball was swallowed by the deep darkness.

Elizabeth was still a little skeptical when she saw this scene. She turned to look at the head engineer in the team and said, "Uncle Hammer, where is the super flash bomb you researched before? And did you bring our camera with you? It is too dangerous to directly enter this kind of space to explore. We have to take a picture of the entire space first."

It has to be said that Elizabeth is quite professional in exploring different spaces. Facing such an unknown place, it is dangerous to rashly explore it. The rational strategy should be to test it first, and then enter it in person after obtaining enough information.

Hammer took out a huge flash bomb from his bag, which was larger than a coconut. The energy density contained in it was extremely high, and the efficiency of converting energy into light was also very high. It would release all the internal energy in just a few seconds, creating extremely strong light.

At the same time, some people took out searchlights and used equipment similar to laser transmitters to start using relatively primitive methods. They used the simplest trigonometric functions to measure distances. The foundation of all engineering must be built on mathematics. This group of engineers of various races had strong mathematical skills and soon roughly estimated the length and diameter of the ecological drum.

Hammer set the delayed detonation time on the flashbang in his hand according to its length and diameter, and loaded it into something like a rocket launcher. With a bang, like the sound of a champagne cork being ejected, the flashbang flew at high speed towards the center of the space.

At the same time, some demons had already set up their cameras and were ready to take pictures, while the rest of the people turned around and faced the entrance to protect their eyes from the sudden flash of light.

Three minutes passed, and the time for the delayed detonation was just right. The violent flash instantly illuminated the entire drum space. Several cameras were set up to capture this scene faithfully, recording the images in the drum world.

After the flash, which lasted about 3 seconds, ended, everyone rushed back, hurriedly developing photos one by one, and then looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

Under the illumination of the flash bomb just now, the inside of the drum space seemed to return to daytime in an instant.

What the camera captures are the magnificent mountains and rivers within the drum space.

It is like putting a planet into such a ring. Although there are no lush plants or migrating animals, you can see mountains, rivers, lakes and even ocean-like existences. You can also see traces of gullies left on the mountains due to the erosion of flowing water.

Although most of the rivers have dried up, and even if they have not dried up, they have frozen into glaciers, it is still incredible to see such magnificent mountains and rivers in the drum world in the photos.

"Look here! Could this be a human city?" Elizabeth pointed to a plain in the drum world. Next to the dried-up river, there seemed to be ruins of a man-made city, but there were no tall buildings in the city. Instead, it looked relatively simple and ancient, and even retained rows of city walls. Although the details were not clear, it looked like a city that could only have been built when the feudal dynasty reached its heyday.

After Elizabeth's explanation, everyone began to pay attention to the details in the photos, and then they found cities one after another, and found the roads connecting these cities.

In addition, they also saw that there was actually a huge and deep cave on top of this huge drum. This cave seemed to lead to an endless abyss, and it even made people wonder if this cave had penetrated the ecological drum. Lan Nuo found that he might have accidentally triggered a hidden plot.

These are not mentioned in the original book, and may be irrelevant to the main plot, but they must be an unknown past hidden in history.

Those buildings that looked like they could only be built during the heyday of the feudal empire formed a sharp contrast with the advanced spacecraft. It was hard to imagine that such an ancient feudal empire would appear in the ecological drum of such an advanced spacecraft. However, since they had confirmed through photography that although civilization had existed in the ecological drum, there should be no life now, they decided to explore it. However, this time they split into two groups. Elizabeth led some people to climb with ropes, and slowly descended from the steep and smooth alloy wall to the ground, heading towards the direction of the city on the map obtained by taking photos before.

Lan Nuo and Hammer continued to explore the central axis of the drum. There was still no gravity on the central axis of the drum, so they could theoretically jump directly to the center of the drum world. In the photo just taken, there was a huge structure in the center of the drum world. Lan Nuo guessed that it was probably the light source of this world, similar to the reactor of the sun. After all, no one can survive for a long time in an environment without light.

  They jumped and slowly floated towards the huge structure on the central axis, ready to take a look at this suspected artificial sun and see what was inside.
