Chapter 74: Underground Base
Drinking some water and eating some dry food, both of them were very excited, and they took a big stride and ran quickly towards the peak. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As for the millions of corpse cockroaches, Liu Tao let them stay in place, the ground temperature is too high, these corpse cockroaches are used to the cold and dampness of the Black Water Canyon, and they are like frosted eggplants when they arrive here, only the blood of the chapter has reached the fourth order, and it has been lying on Liu Tao's shoulder, and it can still maintain its state.
There is not the slightest greenery in a radius of more than a hundred miles around the volcano, not even wild beasts, except for the sound of bubbles in the hot springs, there is no other sound, silence, dead silence, has become the main theme of this place, not even a single insect ant.
The closer they got, the more Liu Tao and the rat frowned, this place seems to have another mystery.
Stopped next to a hot spring, Zhang Xue lay on the edge of the spring.
Vibration sensing vision can clearly detect the range of dozens of miles underground.
Just below Liu Tao and the mouse, more than ten miles underground, a huge steel base appeared.
This hot spring gushes out of the base.
"The base was originally maintained by geothermal energy," Xiang Xing's voice was a little stunned, "In ten thousand years, the groundwater corroded the base shield, and then poured out through the base through this entrance. ”
"I can't get in, let's go back." The only entrance was filled with a hot spring like boiling water, and Xiang Xing had no more way, "Time can wipe out everything, and what has passed has passed after all." ”
Liu Tao's eyes flickered, "There are still many places in the base that have not been flooded. ”
"I heard that there is a kind of treasure called water beads." Mouse, like Liu Tao, is not a person who gives up easily, "When we woke up from that underground iron box, all the memories of the past were gone, and I wanted to know what our world was like." ”
"I want to, too." Liu Tao slammed the gun on the ground, "We can't go down, but the witch Gu can, and don't forget my treasure bag, haha." ”
Dozens of witch Gu pierced out of Liu Tao and the rat's body, turned into energy bodies and sank into the ground, ten miles of strata, nothing to witch Gu, as for the hot soil and rocks, it had no effect on them.
The underground base is very large, covering an area of dozens of miles, and it is nearly ten miles thick, dozens of witch Gu drilled into the base and immediately dispersed, what the witch Gu saw was what Liu Tao saw, and what he saw and heard was compared with the base in Xiang Xing's memory, and the functions of each division of the entire base slowly became clear.
"It's an oxygen regeneration system."
"It's an energy conversion system."
"It's a gene pool."
"This is the embryo culture room."
……
Xiang Xing kept explaining the functions of each area of the base for Liu Tao, and at the same time kept sighing, "Don't look at it, it's all damaged, it's all gone, except for the ruins, what else is left?" ”
"You're wrong." Liu Tao squinted, the sun shone on the tumbling hot springs, and the reflected sunlight reflected in his eyes, as if his eyes were shining, "Didn't you say that in the core control room of the base, everything about the Chinese nation was recorded 10,000 years ago, history, science and technology, humanities, life, politics, martial arts, religion, and economy. ”
"There are also I Ching, Feng Shui, Tai Chi, Metaphysics, ......"
"You said that it is the core of the base, the most tightly protected, and the diatom transgenic technology excavated from the submarine crater is used, even if it is thrown in the volcano, it can survive to protect the diatoms of the core memory crystal disk."
Liu Tao was right, but Xiang Xing shook his head secretly, just sighed silently.
It is indeed very likely that the memory crystal disk exists, but so what, more than ten miles underground, even if you avoid the passage filled with hot springs, and smoothly excavate a tunnel that can accommodate at least one person to climb down, how much work it will take.
Maybe it is feasible for the ghost-faced corpse cockroaches to dig holes in clusters, but when the ghost-faced corpse cockroaches that like cold and cold get here, they are all burned to death, and it is impossible to dig tunnels.
"What kind of place is this?" Liu Tao was very interested, and while looking through the black leather bag around his waist, he shared everything he saw underground with Xiang Xing and asked him to help identify it.
"Oh, the plantation, 27 percent of the energy converted by the energy conversion system is used here to grow plants with high nutrient content." couldn't bear Liu Tao's questioning, Xiang Xing cheered up and said.
"And what is this?" A witch Gu swam quickly in the hot spring, burrowing into a closed-loop space, "These red fruits, are they the kind of plants you are talking about?" ”
"No," Xiang Xing was slightly skeptical, "What we used to eat was a kind of ginkgo fruit, which contained high-energy nutrients that could be directly absorbed by the body, which is different from this, what does it look like...... Could it be that this red fruit is a mutant variety of ginkgo affected by geothermal heat? ”
"It doesn't matter what he is, let's talk about it," Liu Tao almost turned out all the black leather bags, and finally found a jade bottle filled with bean big black pills, "I've found it, I didn't take you out in vain." ”
"Mole cricket eggs?" The witch Gu of the rat was also drilling around the base, and when he saw Kurumaru, he was not surprised at all, "I guessed that you took them with you, and the big hunt is ready to be used for mining, right?" ”
Xiang Xing was speechless for a while, Liu Tao caught a huge mole cricket in the Black Water Canyon, and spent some time using it to cross with ordinary mole crickets and harvest these eggs.
"This thing is a hybrid, and it doesn't have the ability to dig holes like the big mole crickets." Xiang Xing was also a little excited, but he had no confidence.
"Who knows?" Liu Tao smiled and took a sip of ghost wood juice, and the spiritual sense seed and the thick life force entered the egg.
Hundreds of mole cricket eggs trembled slightly, and in a slight crackling sound, most of the eggs were broken, and only more than twenty remained.
The remaining mole cricket eggs absorbed the life force and hatched quickly, and most of the mole crickets were born with blood water, leaving only five extremely strangely shaped mole crickets wriggling in the jade bottle.
"It doesn't look like it's a mole cricket." The mouse stared at the strange mole cricket in Liu Tao's hand with interest, "It's like a giant earthworm with a pair of digging tongs." ”
"Isn't it?" The spirit shattered the three earthworms that were not in good shape, and Liu Tao gently put the last two on the ground.
Hiss, Kaka.
The two earthworms, which had grown to half a foot in length, opened their large mouths and easily crushed the hot volcanic rocks with their rotating teeth in their mouths.
"This is a new species of macrophage earthworm and mole cricket?" Xiang Xing took a breath, "How is this possible, hybridization between different specialties, without equipment, genetically modified cannot be done." ”
Macrophagous earthworms and mole crickets are exactly what Liu Tao obtained from stepping on the Blackwater Canyon.
"Isn't there still Tai Sui?" Liu Tao squinted his eyes half-squinted, and commanded the mutant earthworm to burrow into the ground and advance rapidly with the spirit knowledge species, "If you go to the left, you will be an animal, and if you go to the right, there will be a plant, and besides, isn't there a spirit knowledge species?" ”
This is okay, Xiang Xing was speechless for a while, with the help of Tai Sui and Lingzhi Species, he forcibly fused the gene fragments of two different species, and then planted them into the eggs of the giant earthworm, and repeatedly screened them, and a completely new species was really produced.
"Well, this one doesn't seem to be resistant to heat." Liu Tao no longer paid attention to Xiang Xing, and began to focus on sensing the two mutated earthworms, and soon, one earthworm returned, and Liu Tao withdrew the spiritual sense in it, letting it turn into blood.
Three hours later, more than a dozen fist-sized red fruits were dragged to the ground by the witch Gu that had been transformed into a material form.
These red fruits are extremely hard and warm to the touch, Liu Tao didn't study them too much, and threw them directly into the jade bottle and put them in the vacuum ring.
With the help of mutant earthworms, although the progress is not fast, Liu Tao and the rats still have a great harvest.
Everything in the underground base was new to them, as long as it wasn't a dead thing, they collected a little bit of it, and the rat even killed a large piece of the crimson transparent fish, the big pointed screw, and the purple mussel the size of a grinding disc in the water, and used the witch Gu to cut them up and drag them to the ground.
Liu Tao didn't bother to pay attention to the spoof of the mouse, but that's it, the mouse also made more than a dozen fiery red pearls from the purple mussel meat.
After spending a whole week under the volcano, the underground base was filled with strange things, and eventually, the diatoms and memory crystals were found and brought out by the mouses.
In addition, there was nothing left of the entire base, and some of the most precious things under heavy protection were also eroded by the hot spring water, and even many memory crystals were destroyed.
"That's all." Liu Tao looked at the mess all over the ground with dissatisfaction, the ground was full of things cleaned up from the base, there were minced meat, fiery red pearls, diatoms, memory crystals, and even some aquatic plants and weird insects, all over the ground.
"Out of a hundred memory crystals, only these three remain." Shaking his head slightly, Liu Tao packed up some diatoms, red fruits, and memory crystals.
According to Xiang Xing, the information in each memory crystal can only be described as massive, but it is not easy to read it, and it is also necessary to design a reading device.
"The reading device is not too complicated, but it's a pity that the material library in the base has been eroded by the hot spring......" Xiang Xing was very excited, he didn't expect Liu Tao to really be able to dig out three memory crystals from the underground base.
Liu Tao and the rat were curious about what was stored in the crystal, but these materials were not urgently needed for them, and the production of the reading device had to wait until after Xiang Xing had taken over.
"It's a shame that the material library is eroded by the hot springs." Xiang Xing sighed after being excited for a while, "Ten thousand years of changes, the aura fills the world, and the materials required to read the device are not precious, but if there is aura hidden in it, it will have a series of unpredictable effects......"
Ignoring Xiang Xing's chatter, Liu Tao packed up everything, took a deep look at this volcano, and left quickly with the mouse.
Recalling the countless times five years ago when he struggled to survive in a desperate situation, and walked out of the Lingnan Demon Forest without complete skin, like two living dead, Liu Tao and the mouse both sighed a little, this time when they entered the Demon Forest again, although there was still danger, they could avoid it safely, and the Lingnan Demon Forest was no longer a dead place for the two of them.
"When we have enough strength, we will also go to see a few other relic bases." The song in my heart kept echoing softly, like the whisper of a wanderer, Liu Tao and the mouse stood under the towering giant tree, looking back in the direction of the volcano.
Neither of them spoke, but they knew that those bases were their roots, and their roots were 10,000 years ago.
