Chapter 20: Journey to the Center of the Earth

After Li Shitang sent all the clones, he began to think about what he could do during the year.

If you take these natives on the road to unification... That's still forget it, it's better to have this kung fu than to have two rounds of ass.

And the difference in the level of different civilizations makes Li Shitang always have a sense of superiority...

In fact, Li Shitang has such a strong power, and when he was on earth, he treated people equally, and he never looked down on anyone or despised anyone.

But these indigenous words, it is difficult for him not to despise ...

If you despise them, you will violate your own standards of life, and if you treat them as equals, it will make you feel uncomfortable...

So I didn't touch it at all.

He thought about the predicament that earthlings were facing right now.

In order to escape the cold on the surface, the earthlings lived underground, but because the underground environment was too complicated, it was extremely laborious to explore.

But as the Earth's population grows, so does the space they need, and scientists have used a variety of methods to explore the underground, but with little success.

After all, it is easy to go to the sky and difficult to enter the earth, and human beings have easily sent all kinds of things to space or the moon, but what is there in the five hundred meters underground?

Human beings can't say it, they can only rely on various instruments to detect fluctuations, and then speculate...

It's rare for this world to use the ability, although this planet is not the earth, but under his investigation, the composition of the material and air here is really not much different from the earth...

Therefore, he can use the information of the underground life here as a reference for geoscientists to study the earth.

He chose a basin and began digging.

The way you dig is similar to finding diamond mines in my world, just dig down.

However, his method was simpler, under the control of the spiritual elemental force, the surrounding soil naturally dispersed outward, and with his fall, a hole with a radius of four meters was naturally formed here.

Earthlings divide the earth into three parts: the crust, the mantle and the core.

But in reality, the structure of the underground is much more complex than this classification.

For example, the lithosphere on the surface has the outermost soil layer, the lower mineral layer, and the lower rock layer. And this structure is not fixed, in many places there is no mineral layer or soil layer at all, it is just a large stone layer...

The asthenosphere further down is not full of magma, and lava is more widely distributed in areas where plates are active, and where the geology is stable, there may be high-temperature rocks that have no use for magma.

Of course, there are very few such places.

However, this is not the fault of the earthlings, after all, these things are too troublesome to detect, so they can only be summarized by a general term.

This planet is too similar to the earth, Li Shitang plans to use the method of digging a hole downward to observe the underground structure, mark the huge space between the asthenosphere and the earth's core in detail, and record what the center of the earth is.

If you want to ask the reason for this...

The Chinese civilization still needs to live underground on the earth for thousands of years, and if they have this information as a reference, they can also live better...

Although Yuan Li can grasp the soil, because the composition of the soil and rocks is too complex, his exploration does not directly envelop a planet like it does on the ground.

And as the altitude decreases, the range of his exploration continues to shrink.

Thirteen meters underground, Li Shitang stepped on a stone.

However, this is the sand and gravel formed by soil deposits, which is far from the real bedrock.

After descending more than 80 meters, he finally stepped on a solid rock.

This is the bedrock of the planet, and this rock is a fairly stable and solid structure, and on Earth, when building super-tall buildings or towers, part of the foundation is hit on this rock.

In Minecraft, the end of the underworld is almost the end of the bedrock.

That's pretty much the limit of human exploration...

But Li Shitang can move on.

After spending a few minutes deciphering the bedrock, he manipulated the rock to open a large hole.

Then, at a distance of more than 400 meters from the surface bedrock, he found a magma pool, as well as a calm-flowing groundwater next to the magma pool...

The temperature of the magma is generally 400 to 1300 °C, and the color of the magma here is only slightly red, so it should be around 500 °C.

It can boil the water flowing around it to 120°C, but due to the pressure and altitude of the ground, the water is still far from boiling.

He took some random water and put it in the space as a sample, then continued to probe down...

This magma is not too deep, only more than 60 meters, but in Li Shitang's exploration, this is a huge magma sea, but coincidentally, this location is exactly the extreme edge of the magma sea, so it is not too deep, and the deepest place he saw was several kilometers deep.

Next to the magma, he was pleasantly surprised to find traces of life, which was a fungal colony, and there were many microorganisms growing in the colony.

Fungi rely on smoke and dust from magma combustion to sustain life, light and heat, and these microorganisms rely on fungi to sustain life...

But there is no food chain one level higher, after all, the environment here is too harsh, and it can't afford to raise even a single cockroach...

After collecting some specimens, Li Shitang began to analyze the magma again, and after a few minutes, he used Yuan Li to open the magma and built a path with rocks.

In just these few minutes, he felt that his mastery of magma was better than that of Akainu, but it was a pity that he couldn't go to the pirate world, let alone have a discussion.

Under the magma, there is a large area of black volcanic rock, or it may also be obsidian, after all, Li Shitang does not recognize it.

However, there are not too many stones that can withstand the burning of magma, Li Shitang was not surprised to see these rocks, and began to guess what would be under these rocks...

It doesn't end up with magma all the way underground...

With anticipation, Li Shitang opened the passage.

This time, it's been a long journey.

He couldn't feel the passage of time, and could only judge his position by the steady narrowing of the Yuan Force probing range.

Three kilometers, five kilometers, seven kilometers...

He Yuan Li suddenly felt relaxed for a while, and he was actually empty below!

He was surprised to see a small natural cave appear directly below, and from the cave, he could also see a glimmer of light!

What's going on?

Li Shitang leaned down and drilled into the cave, feeling it...

At the beginning, it was extremely narrow, and only then did it pass people, and it was dozens of steps back, and it suddenly became clear...

Li Shitang was shocked...

Walking on the verdant meadows, smelling the refreshing fragrance of flowers, listening to the crisp chirping of birds in the distance...

Looking into the distance, mist, light clouds, mountains, rivers...

And turtles frolicking by the river...

Is this a planetary center?

Li Shitang looked up, and in the blue sky, a bright but not dazzling sun lay across the sky, exuding a soft light.

It was about nine thousand meters underground, and only nine thousand meters underground, he actually saw a world!

And what is the radius of a planet, 7000 kilometers!

In other words, the scope of this world is actually not much smaller than the surface of the planet!

Does the earth have such a world?

Li Shitang thought about it, and wanted to exude his yuan power to investigate, and then he was surprised to find that his yuan power could only be more than ten meters away from his body!

He looked up at the sun in the sky, and this thing was now emitting a strange substance that affected the diffusion of his Yuan Power.

He felt that this kind of power was not harmful to the spiritual elemental force, and of course, it was no good...

The difference between the two is like spiritual power and internal force, the same level and different systems, so they are clearly distinguished.

This world has long been imprinted by this sun, and Li Shitang's Yuan Li is naturally inadequate.

But he is not discouraged, it is cool to see the world in one breath, but it also lacks a lot of fun to play.

Now I can only explore ten meters, so I don't have to worry too much about safety, and I can have a good time...

As for the idea that a world must have something to gain, Li Shitang's feeling is that he is fortunate to be in my favor and lose my life.

The rise of a civilization does not depend on all kinds of treasures, and self-improvement is always much stronger than take-it-or-leave-it.
