Chapter 60: The Giant Underground Magic Array
Erranling said three methods. But in fact, for me, there is only a seed factory, and the other two methods other than the eternal forced breakthrough are completely unnecessary. It will take a day for Ling Lai to crack it, and I don't have the time to delay here, let alone find the Protoss to open the door. Not to mention how much work it takes to capture a Protoss alive and make him obedient, even if I am arrested, how can I guarantee that the other party will know how to open the door? This kind of secret door must only be mastered by special personnel to open the door, and it is impossible for every god to enter and exit at will. Therefore, the only way to make real sense is to destroy it with eternity.
Brute force cracking has always been my best way to open the door, but this one in front of me is a little more complicated, because it is connected to the counterattack magic array behind it, and I can't be blown away before the door is opened. However, with Ling's help, it was different, first Ling read out the location of the magic array, then found its core array eye, and finally I used an eternal instant to penetrate the wall and destroy the rear array eye at once. Although the magic circle will activate the moment the wall is attacked, as long as the speed is fast enough, I can destroy the main structure of the magic circle before it gathers enough magic power, and it is impossible for the magic circle with an incomplete structure to work.
After quickly dismantling the defensive counterattack-type magic array, the secret door in front of me became an ordinary gate with only protective magic skills, and under the full force of eternity, it was quickly cut off by me along with the door panel.
After tearing down that door, we finally saw the passageway. Behind the stone door is a narrow staircase that is only a few tens of centimeters wide leading to the underground, because the aisle is relatively narrow, people who are larger even have to turn sideways to get through, fortunately, Ling and I are not burly, and we are not affected by walking.
Less than ten meters down the staircase was a narrow metal door, but it was unlocked, except for a circular handle in the center of the door, which looked like a pressure door on a ship. After turning the handle and pushing open this door, there was a small room of only a few square meters, the four walls and ceiling of the room were all metal, even the floor was of the same material, and in the room except for the door we entered, there was only a metal door on the opposite side that was much wider than this door, and there was nothing in the room except for these two doors.
The metal door on the opposite side was much wider than the one we came in, but the structure of the door was exactly the same. Turning the handle on the door to open the door, I pushed it gently, but there was no response. "Huh?. I was stunned for a moment, but I quickly figured out why. This door and the door we came in in were connected to each other by a connector, and the purpose of this connector was to prevent the two doors from opening at the same time. In order to open one of the doors, the other door must be completely closed.
"Isolation room?" After figuring out the structure of the two doors, I guessed the purpose of this room. If this large magic array made by the Russian Protoss is really a fully underground structure, its internal space may be quite large, and such a place will inevitably form a pressure difference at its exit, and the final result is that the gate is either blowing wind out or inhaling it, and in either case, it is easy to expose the location of the exit. In addition, if this pressure difference is relatively large, it will be more troublesome to open and close the door, and the door will be crushed by air pressure and cannot be opened or closed. Although the structure of this isolation chamber is relatively simple, it can block the air convection well, in addition to reducing the problem of the door not being able to open and close caused by wind pressure, it can also prevent the abnormal flow of air flow and leakage of the location of the outlet.
After closing the small door behind the back, we reopened the door here, this time it was very easy to open, but as soon as the net passed through the door, we smelled an unusually bad musty smell, obviously although this isolation room of the Russian gods isolated the air pressure, but the fresh air was also isolated, and the smell in the underground space was extremely unpleasant, fortunately, my helmet strap filtration ability, as long as I put the grass down, I couldn't smell it.
The space behind this gate is a very large metal platform, and there is a circle of flat lifts around the platform, but the structure of these lifts is quite exaggerated, and they are all suspended by the magic array, not to mention the fishing hook and cable, which is not even connected to the wall, the whole thing is a floating platform.
I walked over to one of the platforms and looked down, and below the platform was a bottomless vertical well, about 500 square meters in size, and the depth was incalculable. After thinking about it, I didn't take the lift, I just jumped straight from the edge of the platform. No matter how fast that thing was, it would be free fall at best, and it might expose the target, so I simply jumped straight from here. Anyway, I have wings, and I'm not afraid of falling.
After descending down the passage for almost a few kilometers, I felt a significant drag in the air around me, indicating that I was not far below the ground. I first asked Ling to add a levitation technique to the two of us, and waited for the speed to drop a little before spreading his wings and slowing down. By the time our speed had almost slowed down to normal levitation, the bottom of the cave was already visible below.
Unlike when you look at it from above, there is actually light at the bottom of the well, but it is too deep for the light to reach the top.
In order not to alarm the guards who might have been in the middle of the well, I gave up flying with my wings when I descended some distance from the bottom of the well, and instead put Ling away, then landed on the wall myself, and hung myself on the wall with the sharp claws of the dragon suit on my fingertips and toes, and then slowly crawled down.
When I reached the lateral turn at the bottom of the cave, I made sure that there were no guards below, at least not as far as I could see. Once I was sure it was safe, I landed lightly on the ground and began to observe the cave.
The place I'm standing on now is the bottom of the deep well just now, but here is the catty below. The edges of the giant crypt are set up. In front of this area is a vast and unformed huge banquet room, with a space span of more than one kilometer and a ceiling height of more than five hundred meters, making this area appear unusually empty. In this huge space, a huge magic array that took up almost the entire space was drawn on the floor. The entire magic array is composed of countless complex lines and a large number of nodes, all of which are made of one-foot-wide copper rails, and the nodes above the lines are all made of gold, and the surface is inlaid with magic stones of various colors. Don't talk about this whole magic array, that's it. The value of magic nodes is already quite high, and there are at least hundreds of such magic nodes in the entire magic array. Its total value is simply impossible to estimate. In fact, there's more to the amazing stuff here. In addition to the super magic circle in the center of the crypt, I found that there were many connecting wires made of some kind of alloy scattered around the perimeter of the magic circle, and these connecting lines seemed to pass through the wall and connected to somewhere outside the crypt. However, in addition to these connecting lines, which are only a few feet wide, what is even more terrifying are the four main lines that extend from the magic array. The thickness of these four metal wires is almost half a foot, and its width is more than five meters, I thought it was a road before, but after getting closer, I studied its structure and realized that this thing is actually a magic connection line like those thinner lines. To put it simply, these things as wide as a road are actually one of the main magic veins of a large magic array. The magic array we usually see, the width of its lines is generally about one finger, and some large ones are only two fingers wide, after all, the magic lines and wires are not the same, and the area of the cross-section of the two waste forces and wires is actually not too directly related. To sum up, the bigger the magic array. The more proportional the lines that make it up
"This thing is a magic array?" I asked Ling beside me in some surprise. When I was looking around the place, I realized that there was no one here, not only were there not the guards I expected, but not even a single staff member. The entire underground space is completely uninhabited, so I simply released all the pets to help me find out if there are any clues.
Ling immediately replied after hearing my question, "This should be a part of the map-level magic array we guessed before." To be precise, this magic array in this cave should actually be the core node of one of the main nodes of the magic array on that map. ”
"Wait, wait, what do you mean about the core node?"
"That's right." Ling explained: "What if we take the map we saw before. The magic array is a comparison. Country, then, this magic array under Hope City is one of them, the province, and the magic array in the crypt we see now should be the capital city of this province. The magic lines that extend out of the ground should be connected to the other magic arrays. Those magic arrays connected by thin wires that are only more than a foot wide should be smaller than the one under our feet, those are equivalent to ordinary cities in the province, and this connecting line as wide as a road should be connected to the provincial capitals of other provinces. ”
Although Ling's explanation was a little messy, I still understood what she meant. To put it simply, the super magic array we see on the map is actually composed of many small magic arrays, and the general connection line of the road is responsible for connecting these small magic arrays to each other to make them effective. As for the magic array under our feet, although it is only one of the nodes compared to the main magic array, it is actually very large, and there are still many smaller magic arrays hanging downstream of it, and those magic arrays may not be complete independent magic arrays, they will also have magic circles further downstream. After the magic arrays of this level are connected to each other, the total magic array formed is the small super magic array we see on the map.
"It's big enough!" The Night Moon Disk looked at the giant crystal in the center of this super magic array and said. Lucky and skinny, they all gathered around the giant crystal, drooling, looking like they wanted to tear it down and take it for themselves.
"Master, this thing belongs to the Russian Protoss anyway, how about we snatch it back?" Crystal asked, turning to me.
"Nope." Before I could answer, Ling preemptively said, "None of you should touch the things on the magic array. ”
Xiao Chun also nodded in agreement: "Yes, all the things here can't be moved." This magic array is now in a state of waiting to be activated, and there is a lot of magic flowing in it, and if a certain point is suddenly interrupted, all the magic that cannot flow will be concentrated on this point. As soon as the mana accumulation exceeds the maximum amount of space it can bear, it will immediately cause a large explosion. Judging from the flow of mana in this magic array, as long as you take off the crystal, it will explode within a second, and the power is definitely enough to reimburse us all. ”
"Is this thing that powerful?" Luckily, Ran Dao was a little uncertain. Ling said with great certainty: "Absolutely." With such a large magic array, the natural loss of magic power in the magic power line alone is enough to support a few of us, not to mention the magic power in the main passage. Don't lose us all for this little money. ”
Hearing Ling's confirmation, fortunately, several of them left the giant crystal in great disappointment. Dragons naturally like glittering gems, not to mention that this is still a gem with extremely strong magic fluctuations, for the dragons, it is a beauty in the eyes of perverts, and it is strange if they are not moved. But if you are tempted, Ling is the boss of the demon pets after all, she can't ask for it, it means that I can't ask for it, they must be obedient.
Unable to worry about the gems, luckily they began to swear around if they could find something else that could move, but instead they couldn't find them, but they found an opening in the wall. The opening is made of rocks, and it is almost exactly the same as the wall, and if it weren't for the lucky big tail accidentally hanging a stone from the wall, he wouldn't have found a secret door here.
The secret door that was found was only the size of a monitor, and it was obviously not reserved for people to drill. And after removing the camouflage plate on the surface, we also found a guillotine switch under it. For safety reasons. I put away the pet before pushing the guillotine up, and as the guillotine was pushed away, a rocky wall in the crypt suddenly shook and then slowly rose. The rock wall had just risen less than two inches, and next to it another section of rock had begun to rise automatically, and then when it had risen two inches, the third gate had also risen automatically. Twenty-three gates were finally opened in the entire crypt hall, and after each gate were almost identical caves, and each cave also had a magic array stored in zài, the difference was that these caves and the magic array in them were not as big as the one in the center.
The discovery of these magic arrays just proves Ling's inference before, the magic lines that we saw just now that extend from the main magic array are just connected to these magic arrays, and these magic arrays are not the magic arrays at the very end, they also have some small connecting wires branching out, but they are connected to smaller magic arrays.
Compared with the discovery of those small magic arrays, I am more concerned about the direction of the extension of the super connection line that is as wide as the four roads. Just now, as I pushed the guillotine, the wall blocking the lines rose as well, revealing an underground passage wider than the train pass.
"It seems that these are the passages that connect the various magic arrays." Ling didn't know when he had already run out of the practice space by himself, stood beside me and said.
"Can you deduce the purpose of the entire magic circle from these magic circle lines?" I asked, looking at the tunnel ahead without looking back.
Ling thought for a moment before saying, "Unlikely." The magic array is covered by the shell, and the real magic circuit and the outside line are not necessarily the same, maybe it looks like a relatively thick connection point, and there is a very complex magic ** energy line buried under it. Besides, even if I could understand these things, given the size of this magic array, it would take me months to figure out how it would work. ”
Hearing Ling's answer, an idea popped up for me. "Do those Magic Array Knowledge Gods of yours know?"
Although the god of war is a battlefield command computer, he is not designed for games, so he doesn't know a lot of the knowledge in the game. In order to prevent him from judging things in the game from a realistic point of view, I had previously asked the guild and players to tell the god of war as much as they knew, so that the god of war can adapt to the environment in the game by learning and perfecting himself. If nothing else, Ling should have also told the god of his magic theory. Although the god of war can't design a magic array with these things, he can understand the magic array according to the rules, and to put it simply, he can understand the magic array. And there is one thing that Ling does not possess in the god of war, and that is his calculation speed. Ling needs a few months to push back the magic array function, and the military god may only be able to understand it all in a few minutes, so if we can get the map of this magic array, maybe we can ask the military god to help us read the magic
Hearing me ask this question, Ling immediately understood what I meant. "You want the god of war to help us analyze the structure of the magic array?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, we are too slow to understand, but the military god must do it." ”
Ling thought for a while and said: "In terms of speed, he must be faster than us, and I have also taught him the structure and function of the magic array, but the magic array here has been added to the shell, and the real core is not necessarily what we see, besides, there are no hidden nodes, and it will take several days for us to copy down the entire structure of this magic array and send it back!" ”
"No, we don't have to copy it ourselves." I said, "Even if you build a house, you have to have detailed engineering drawings before you can construct it, do you think there will be no drawings for such a delicate thing as the magic array?" That thing was drawn so that the construction staff could see it, and the hidden nodes would definitely be clearly marked together. As long as we can get a few drawings for the god of war to figure out a few parts of it, we can guess the functions of other parts through the parts that have already been turned out, and we should be able to guess the detailed functions of the entire magic array soon.
"If that's the case, you can give it a try."
After getting Ling's confirmation, I quickly left the magic array with Ling and looked down one of the passages. It is said that the drawings should not be too far away from the construction site, and although the magic array in front of me is in standby, it can be determined that it is not finished yet, as long as you find the part that is under construction, you should be able to find the drawings. With this in mind, we began to look down the passage.
Because the area of the entire magic circle covers almost the entire Russian God Realm, the length of these passages is quite amazing, but I was lucky, the passages were spacious enough for me to fly here on a bird, so the length of the passages was not a big problem for me.
At the speed of a bird, we quickly found the next node. According to the markers on the map, this should be one of the main nodes like Hope City, but the magic nodes here are not closed, so we flew directly into the huge crypt. After rummaging through the crypt space for a while, we couldn't find the blueprints, so we kept looking down. But then we clicked on four magic nodes in a row, and the result was the same. No one is watching, no one is working, and there are no drawings or materials.
"Strange, why is there no one?" I stopped at the sixth magic node and pondered. But it didn't take long for me to figure out why. The bird has been flying along a circle just now, which means that the six nodes we investigated are actually the outermost nodes of the large magic array, and we haven't gone to the six auxiliary nodes in the middle and the super node at the core of the magic circle. Although according to the general rules of drawing magic arrays, it should be drawn from the inside out. However, the volume of this magic array is too large, and if you want to speed up the progress, you must build it at the same time, so you definitely can't start from the core. In this way, this magic array is completely reversed, which means that the rest of the part under construction should be in the core area.
It's easy to figure out what the problem is. I directed Asuka to leave the outer passage and make a quick advance towards the core, but this time we only flew a dozen kilometers before we ran into trouble.
The big ring on the periphery of the Super Magic Circle is a combination of a magic node and a line. There was nothing else in between, but the passes leading to the core had a defensive line that resembled a bunker in the middle. The entire passage was abruptly cut off at the point of reaching this line of defense. The magic line continued down the passage under the sturdy walls of Guò, and we were stopped.
I had caused so much damage on the ground before, and it would have been impossible for the Russian Protoss to have known about it until now, so they recognized me when they first saw me. There was no need to communicate at all, and several small doors opened on the opposite wall in an instant, and then a team of fierce battle gods rushed out.
"The welcome ceremony was warm enough!" After retracting the birds, I landed in front of the protoss without fear, anyway, if you want to investigate the matter of the magic array, you have to go through the front line of defense, so it's definitely useless to run, as for whether you can beat these protoss, this has to be fought to know. But I think I have an innate advantage in fighting here, and that's that this is not my place. To put it bluntly, I don't feel sorry for anything, especially the magic line under my feet. The Russian Protoss must have spent so much effort to build such a thing, which must be an anomalous treasure, so their people can't let go of their hands and feet to start a war here. On the contrary, I don't care if that thing explodes anyway, I really want to find out that I can't beat these Russian Protoss. I'm just going to blow it up and drag them to bury me.
The Protoss, who had run out of the wall, stopped ten meters in front of me, and then stared at me collectively with their weapons in their hands, while behind them, a guy in a shining silver armor was walking slowly. Although the armor on that guy's body was not golden, I was sure that he was more high-end than the previous Golden Armor Protoss, because their golden armor only emitted golden light before the sunlight. However, this guy's armor can emit a dazzling silver light in this dim tunnel with only a few magic lamps as a light source, which is higher and lower can be understood at a glance.
"Welcome?" Hearing my words, the Silver Armor Protoss snorted coldly before saying, "We're not here to welcome you, but you're not completely wrong, because we're here to see you off. Are you ready for endless death? ”
"Endless death? Do you think you are a higher god? I retorted unceremoniously.
"You don't necessarily need the power of a superior god to let you die a few more times, as long as you have this thing, it's enough." After the Protoss finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out a crystal ball and threw it at me.
The moment I saw it, I started to back away quickly, trying to dodge it, and although I didn't know what it was, since it was thrown by the other party, it definitely wouldn't do me any good. However, though I dodged, I couldn't figure out how it worked. It wasn't an assault weapon at all, it was a special piece of equipment. The crystal ball shattered the moment it hit the ground, and a pale yellow mask spread out like lightning, enveloping us all in an instant.
"What the hell is this?" Although it was enclosed in the range of the mask, firstly, there was no adverse reaction on me, and secondly, the mask was even wrapped in by the other party, so I didn't know what it was for.
"You obviously guessed it, why do you ask?"
I was stunned for a moment when I heard the other party's words, and then I understood. Since this thing is not harmful, and it can form a light mask, it must be something similar to a protective shield. But even if the other party wants to use a protective shield, he shouldn't wrap me in, so this thing is definitely not a protective shield. If you think about it this way, it must be the reverse product of the shield, the Seal Magic Cover. Unlike protective spells, this thing is not meant to protect people in the circle from external attacks. It's a protective spell to prevent people inside from attacking or leaving the area where the thing is located, and it's simply a makeshift prison that can trap people inside for a while. It's just that now that guy locked me up with them. Then it's obviously not just going to be for me to stay here for a while.
