I traveled through Genshin Impact, and there was a chat group.

Chapter 41 Rhodes Island

Upper deck of Rhodes Island.

6th floor.

This is Rhodes Island's eyes, ears, and nerve center, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows covering the entire sixth floor.

"Looks like we're underground."

Sivir looked out the floor-to-ceiling window with a sigh.

Light from inside Rhodes Island streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the red rock formations of Rembiton.

Rhodes Island, this behemoth, 600 meters long, 306 meters wide, and 136 meters high, is sleeping beneath Rembiton!

Sivir wasn't surprised.

Sivir had already suspected something when the Doctor remembered the names Precys and the Prophet.

It seems that this was indeed before Kal'tsit had unearthed Rhodes Island.

"PRTS, can you tell us approximately how far this place is from the surface?"

[Analyzing...]

[Analysis complete, Mr. Sivir. We are currently at a depth of approximately 50,000 meters underground.]

When he heard the distance, Sivir was dumbfounded.

Fifty thousand meters!

No wonder even a bunch of digging-savvy Carter's from Rembitox couldn't dig Rhodes Island out! They managed to keep Rhodes Island sleeping underground for tens of thousands of years!

"I have a question."

The next second, Sivir looked at the Doctor with a complicated expression.

"Are you still able to go out?"

The professor stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, reaching out to touch it, as if trying to touch the rock formations outside.

The red rock layers are interspersed with fine Originium particles, and the information contained within them is responding to the Doctor's call.

"OK."

"Don't even mention 50,000, even if it's an order of magnitude more, I can easily get out."

As for Rhodes Island…

It's a pity that it was kept underground for far too long, so long that Rhodes Island's outer shell was significantly corroded.

Although the internal system is still functioning normally, it is impossible to get Rhodes Island running again.

It needs major repairs.

The doctor lowered his hand, turned around, and led Sivir toward the first floor.

That's where you enter and exit Rhodes Island.

"The Originium here is quite active. I can easily activate the Originium to open up a path for us."

"As expected, there is a fairly active Originium vein nearby where we are."

Sivir suddenly realized: "That's true."

Rembiton, the homeland of Amiya.

"Terra has three main Originium veins. The largest proven reserve is currently found in the Talgan main vein, which is estimated to have the largest reserves.

"Similarly, due to the intense Originium activity, natural disasters are rampant in this place, and the severity of the weather and environment is second to none in Terra."

The Doctor nodded in response to Sivir's reply.

The contents of Sivir's memory were roughly the same as what she had guessed.

"I see."

After a while, the two of them reached the lower deck.

This is the power and energy zone of the Rhodes Island main ship.

Without the replenishment of Originium, Rhodes Island is currently operating using its stored energy reserves, which can sustain it for a while longer.

After all, the Doctor's main body is inside Rhodes Island's medical bay. To protect the Doctor's safety, Rhodes Island has a huge energy reserve, which can even directly activate the entire ship's defense system.

"Wow, there are even off-road vehicles!"

Sylvie pointed to several cars parked not far away and ran over excitedly.

This is a legacy from a pre-civilization!

"This must be an antique, right?"

The doctor, also curious, walked up to the car and placed his hand on it.

The two of them excitedly began to examine it.

After a long pause, the professor sighed.

"It has been parked for too long, and the parts are too old. Although it can still run, the speed will probably not be able to increase."

"It doesn't matter. We'll drive one when we leave. You're going to travel the continent; you can't walk the whole way!"

Also.

As long as it can be opened, that's fine.

"PRTS, open the door."

PRTS's screen flickered.

[The hatch cannot be opened, and the multi-section retractable ramp cannot be deployed.]

It seems to be blocked.

A bright yellow light suddenly shone in the doctor's eyes!

He raised his hand and carefully sensed the Originium outside.

A deafening roar followed!

Suddenly, the Originium particles outside the Rhodes Island hatch expanded, squeezing out all the surrounding rock layers!

After the surrounding rock layers were squeezed to other places, the source stone suddenly cracked open from the middle!

The rock formations outside Rhodes Island were cleared away in the blink of an eye.

The professor put down his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and took out a steamed bun from the chat group, which he ate clean in just a few bites.

The doctor kept eating, his brow furrowed in thought.

In a short period of time, he ate dozens of steamed buns.

It works!

I get hungry very quickly.

"PRTS, try again."

PRTS's screen flickered again.

The hatch remained closed.

The doctor was taken aback. Could it be that the hatch was broken?

Just as the doctor was about to step forward to check, a drone carrying two protective suits flew over.

[Doctor, Mr. Sivir, the environment and air outside Rhodes Island are filled with a lot of dust, and the air quality is extremely poor. To ensure your safety, please put on your protective suits.]

Sivir and the doctor exchanged a glance and reached out to take the protective suit.

When Sivir finally got a clear look at the full protective suit, she burst out laughing.

He's very familiar with this thing!

It was a hooded garment made of a very sturdy material.

Without hesitation, the doctor put it on himself.

Seeing Sivir grinning foolishly in place, the Doctor tilted his head, two question marks flashing across his forehead.

Has this kid's brain been slammed in a door?

Why aren't you wearing anything?

"I'll wear it right now, I'll wear it right now."

Sivir snapped out of her daze, pulled the hood and mask over her head, and put them on.

After the two finished dressing, the PRTS panel flashed again.

[The hatch is opening, and the multi-section retractable ramp is deploying...]

A valve clicked, and the hatch slowly rose, revealing a slanted platform extending downwards until it landed on the Originium platform specially set up by the Doctor.

"Wow."

Sivir followed the Doctor out of Rhodes Island and stepped onto the Originium platform.

The dark yellow light contained within the Originium faintly illuminated the cave. The magnificent Originium crystal clusters clung together, each cluster of Originium with its own sharp, claw-like structure extending in all directions, supporting the entire cave.

"Not bad, right?"

The PhD student was very pleased with himself.

"You did this?"

Sivir murmured.

"Of course, it could be due to the natural disaster you mentioned. The rock layers outside are of varying textures, some of them quite fragile, like this one, the kind that would crumble with a single pinch."

The doctor picked up a piece of gravel from the ground and gently squeezed it.

The red rock turned into powder.

"Although most of it is relatively hard rock, I still used Originium to support this place to prevent it from collapsing."
