Chapter 763: Eastern Capital
There is no mistake in the name "giant pillars", these pillars used to support the city in the sky are indeed very large.
The pillars themselves are part of single-celled life, each of which is more than a kilometer in diameter, and because it is only five kilometers high, it looks more like a giant bridge pier from a distance. Aside from its size, the pillar itself has nothing unique about it, the surface is very smooth, and there is no place to start or settle. Obviously, it is impossible to climb up. Although Chu Tianjiang felt that the giant pillar should be hollow, because the hollow structure could greatly reduce the weight of the structure and make the structure more stable while ensuring the strength of the basic structure, Chu Tianjiang could not perceive the internal structure of the giant column, nor could he go in to see it clearly, so it was not clear whether it was hollow or not.
Of course, even if the giant pillar was hollow, it would not be of much help to Chu Tianjiang and Kistis.
Chu Tianjiang thought about it and entered the giant pillar from below. It's just that he thinks it's a stupid act, because the giant pillar is likely to go deep into the earth's crust.
Over the next few days, Chu Tianjiang and Kisstis carefully probed all the nearby giant pillars.
The two of them had nothing to gain, and their efforts were almost in vain.
Kisstis was a little disappointed, in fact, Chu Tianjiang was also disappointed, just to take care of Kisstis's emotions, he didn't show his disappointment.
"Tomorrow, let's go south, maybe ......"
"It's useless, it's all the same."
Chu Tianjiang looked at Kisstis and said, "Perhaps, there will be some differences. ”
"How is that possible?" Kistis sighed and said, "In the past few days, we have found all the giant pillars the same, without any difference. ”
"Actually, there are some differences, you just don't notice."
"What's the difference?" Kistis looked at Chu Tianjiang with a little surprise.
"Obviously, these pillars are in different locations, right?"
Kisstis was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. Obviously, Chu Tianjiang was joking with her, or encouraging her.
"There's one thing I haven't figured out."
"What's the matter?" Kistis kept his emotions under control. Whether it's disappointment or annoyance, it doesn't help them in what they're doing.
Emotions, obviously, do not solve the problem.
"The star core is so important because it only exists in the interior of the planet. More than 10,000 years ago, there was a glorious civilization that was built beneath the earth's crust. At that time, most of the human beings lived in underground cities. Each city can accommodate tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of inhabitants, has its own energy system, and is able to navigate the mantle beneath the earth's crust. However, the humans of that era did not discover the star core. Chu Tianjiang paused slightly and said, "Obviously, the star core is in the earth's core. The question is, why didn't all the civilizations before the discovery of the star core, and even the invaders' civilizations didn't know enough about the star core? ”
"You mean, why did the empire created by a perverted human discover the star core?"
Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
"To be honest, I can't answer that question."
"I didn't expect to get an answer from you." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Then, let's change to a slightly simpler question." ”
"What?"
"How does the Empire mine the star core?"
"This ......"
"Obviously, it must have been done in the heart of the earth. Of course, with the Empire's technical prowess, it would not be a problem to build a base in the center of the earth to mine the star core. The point is that the star core is an actual existence, not just information, so after it is mined, it must be sent to the surface. ”
"You mean ......"
"Obviously, there needs to be a passage to the center of the earth."
Kisstis nodded, indicating that he understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
"Theoretically, a hole to the center of the earth could be dug anywhere. The problem is that the Earth is rotating, and the center of the Earth is also moving, and this movement is related to the Earth's magnetic field. That is, if this passage exists, then the most likely location is at the poles. ”
"Antarctica vs. North Pole?"
"It should be the north and south poles of the geomagnetic field."
"And then?"
"I think we should go to the southern continent and maybe be able to find what we are looking for there. Otherwise, you have to go to the northern oceans. ”
Kisstis nodded thoughtfully, the south and north poles of the earth's magnetic field are in these two places.
"Of course, we need a boat."
"It's better to have a boat that's fast enough." Kystis glanced at Chu Tianjiang and said, "In this case, we should go east." ”
"East?"
Kistis nodded and said, "To the east of the New World, there is also a port city. ”
"Dawning City." Chu Tianjiang immediately said it.
"Maybe in your time, that city was called Dawning City, and now we call it the Eastern Capital."
"Eastern Capital?"
"It was there that the leader came ashore when he came to the New World, and he established his first legion there, and then began to rebel against the Empire."
"Well, what's the point of going there, whatever it's called?"
"There are boats there, too, and better ones."
"Space ship?"
Kistis nodded and said, "On the Southern Continent, there is one of our strongholds, and the spaceship from the New World to the Southern Continent is there. ”
"The problem is, it's just the two of us."
"Obviously, a third person is needed."
"Lyphia?"
Kistis smiled and said, "She's from Iskar, and Iska asked her to assist us, so she'll definitely help with that." Of course, you'll have to go to her. ”
Chu Tianjiang sighed and didn't say anything more.
"Rest early, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
In fact, Chu Tianjiang didn't want to involve Lyphia, at least not too deeply, after all, she was not Kistis. Except for the different relationship with Chu Tianjiang, she doesn't have superpowers like Kistis, so when she encounters danger, she can't even protect herself. If she gets too involved and knows too much, even if she has an extraordinary relationship with Iska, the ending will not be much better. Although she is only an insignificant being, she is human, and she is a very kind person. At least she didn't do anything to be sorry for Chu Tianjiang, so Chu Tianjiang didn't want to hurt her, and he didn't want her to know too much.
It's just that this time there is no choice.
With a space ship, someone must be outside to control the entire teleportation process. Unless you let Kisstis stay, you'll have to go to Ryfia for help.
Of course, as Kisstis said, Lefia did not refuse Chu Tianjiang's request.
After finding Lefia, the three of them headed east.
Although the roads built more than 1,000 years ago have not completely disappeared, they have been buried by forests, and many sections of the road are simply unrecognizable.
It's been a long trip to the Eastern Capital.
The main thing is that the New World as a whole runs east-west, that is, it is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, and Lyfia is stationed in the western part of the New World.
Luckily, with Lyfia with him, he didn't run into any trouble along the way.
Chu Tianjiang and Kistis disguised as hunting warriors, and when passing through the camps of other hunting teams, Lefia directly took out Iskar as a shield, claiming that he was ordered by Iska to go to the Eastern Capital to carry out a very important mission, and the other hunting warriors were not suspicious.
Along the way, Lefia didn't ask Chu Tianjiang and Kisstis why they were going to the Eastern Capital.
Of course, Chu Tianjiang didn't tell Laifia the truth, but only mentioned that he needed to go to the Eastern Capital, and in order to avoid trouble, he needed Laifia to accompany him.
"We'll be there tomorrow, and there's a hunting team there, about a hundred warriors."
"We need to use space ships."
Laifia looked at Chu Tianjiang and was not surprised, because she had already guessed that if she just went to the Eastern Capital, Chu Tianjiang would have no reason to ask her for help.
"We're going to the Southern Continent."
"Where are you going?"
"After the appearance of the enemy, the three leaders took refuge in the southern continent for about two hundred years before returning and creating the 'Freedom Guards' to wage war against the Empire." Chu Tianjiang paused slightly. "I think there's something to be found there."
Laifia nodded, indicating that she understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
"If you use a space ship, you need someone to be outside to complete the entire process of teleportation." Kistis said what Chu Tianjiang hadn't said. "We want you to help if you can."
"Since I've sent you here, I won't refuse."
"The point is, we need to get into the camp of the Kill Clan, gain their trust, and then use the space ship."
"Iskar gave me a commandment." Along the way, Ryfia used the edict Iskar gave her, allowing her to give orders in the name of the leader.
Kistis nodded, not saying anything more.
Although Laifia has always behaved normally, she didn't say anything to Chu Tianjiang along the way, even if she rested at night, she deliberately kept her distance from Chu Tianjiang, but Kisstis had already felt that in Chu Tianjiang reluctantly, Laifia's performance was always a little awkward.
As a woman, of course, Kistis knew that it would be a little awkward for Lyfia.
As for whether Chu Tianjiang knew the Dao, Kistis was not very clear.
"Alright, let's rest, tomorrow morning."
Because superpowers have been suppressed, in this world, qualitative people need to sleep, even qualitative people with superpowers are no exception. It's just that for people with superpowers, the daily sleep time is much shorter, four hours is about the same.
Chu Tianjiang soon fell asleep, but Lyphia did not fall asleep, and Kisstis did not fall asleep.
After Chu Tianjiang fell asleep, Kisstis got up lightly, called the awake Lyphia, and then quietly left the camp.
