Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Convergence
"What is this?"
The project is a matter of supreme will, and the sustainability does not dare to slack off, after instructing the fishing team to do some necessary things, the sustainability feels the No. 347 construction area non-stop, so he sees this thing in front of him.
It is a cylindrical body that is very large, at least from the collector's point of view, and the sunlight shines through the sea water on the object, glowing with a silvery white metallic sheen.
The cylinder is laid horizontally in the water, and it seems that the foundation of the cylinder was dug out during the excavation process, causing it to lose its balance and then collapse.
"No one was hurt, was it?"
"No, although it was a real shock."
"That's good."
After asking about it, he approached the cylinder and took a closer look.
It is clear that such a regular thing is not a product of nature, and I have participated in the excavation work for a period of time, and have accumulated some experience in distinguishing between unnatural and natural objects.
The silvery-white hue on the cylinder was quickly associated with the titanium alloy spikes of the honeycomb.
It seems that it should be something left over from the Supreme Will - perpetuation makes bold conjectures based on his own experience.
"You all stay away, if something happens to me, you will treat this as an absolutely unapproachable danger, understand?"
"Understood."
The gatherers zoomed out hundreds of meters away, hiding behind the reef, carefully poking their eyes out to see what was going on there.
The perpetual tentacles cautiously stretched out, slowly approaching the cylinder, and under the concerned gazes of the gatherers, the tentacles made contact with the cylinder.
At the same moment, the tension of perpetuality was raised to the highest, and he subconsciously closed his eyes.
However, it soon opened its eyes again, quickly withdrew its tentacles, and studied the skin on its tentacles, feeling the cool touch of touching the metal cylinder that had not yet dissipated.
Then I realized something, and I continued to look left and right to observe the surrounding environment.
“…… No injuries...... There was no movement......"
"Well, safe."
After getting a sustainable safety signal, the collectors dared to approach the unknown cylinder.
"What is this? Sustainability. A gatherer asked.
Perpetual waved his tentacles.
"I don't know, but I'm guessing it's something left over from the Supreme Will, it's a lot like the horns on the big guys at the bottom of the sea that are constantly steaming and helping us defeat Dasha, maybe a broken part."
"So what's next? Put it here? ”
Hearing the inquiry, Yong continued not to speak, but first picked up a stone and slammed it on the surface of the cylinder, and the sound of gold and iron clashing immediately spread throughout the sea.
After tapping, Yong showed the stone wrapped in his tentacles to the inquiring gatherer, and the stone shattered, and the cylinder did not leave a single scar.
"This kind of thing is very hard, many times harder than stones, it can't be smashed by stones, and if you move the whole thing, you have to call a lot of people to help, which will affect the progress of the project."
"The work continues, there is no danger to this thing, just bypass it and continue digging."
"It's good that it's not dangerous."
With the explanation of the 'experts', the gatherers were finally able to let go of their suspense and return to their work, and the shady thing made them have a great psychological shadow on the unknown behemoth.
Unbeknownst to the Permalists and the Gatherers, the 'Supreme Will' they were looking for was actually far away in front of them, the cylinder that had officially frozen the vessel of Hogu.
The perspective switched to Huo Gu's side, and it was still in a state of dazed at this time, because just now, it suddenly saw a petal-shaped blood basin mouth attacking it, although it was only a moment, but Huo Gu almost reflexively made a direct counterattack, just like someone saw an ugly monster rushing over, and subconsciously smashed his fist over a truth.
By the time he reacted, the inexplicable and wonderful picture was long gone.
Hallucination? There is such a thing in a form of being like me? - Huo Gu thought strangely.
[What happened to you just now?] 】
"It's okay, by the way, where did we just go?"
[Speaking of the temperature on the surface is not enough, I can't make a cyclone with such a strong wind speed to help you cut the titanium alloy, anyway, Huo Gu, you are okay, isn't the whole hard thing to blame yourself? 】
"Twilight, don't I want to be cut into slices by you when I get out of the container? If you could improve your micro-manipulation ability a little more, I wouldn't be able to make such a sturdy container, would I? ”
[So what?] Is there any other way? How about I melt the shell with lava for you? Although the heat in the Earth's core is a little tight right now, it's still okay to help you get around. 】
In the face of Twilight's proposal, if Huo Gu still had a human body, he would definitely break out in a cold sweat on the spot, and he hurriedly sent a message to Twilight.
"Only this trouble, don't fix it, the container is full of dry ice, as soon as the lava melts off the outer insulation layer, and the inner wall metal body contacts to conduct heat, the volume of dry ice expands after gaining a lot of heat energy, it is an explosion, the key is that I am still in the center of the explosion, I can't run."
【…… It's troublesome, in a word, Huo Gu, do you have a way to break that container? 】
Huo Gu fell into thought, he still understood the properties of titanium, after all, he spent a long time personally practicing the various properties of titanium during the Immortal period.
"Hmm...... Can you start a tsunami and let the container be submerged in seawater? ”
"Chloride ions can corrode most metals, and titanium alloys are also in this range, and corrosion can be used to destroy containers."
"Actually, in order to prevent you from being able to open the container, I specially chose a place near the sea and below sea level as a hibernation site."
【…… So you were deliberately tricking me before? You know you have a way. 】
Feeling the faint anger of Twilight, Huo Gu hurriedly explained.
"No, no, no, how is it possible, am I that kind of person?"
"Although chloride ions can corrode titanium alloys, titanium alloys are very corrosion-resistant, so ...... It will take a long time. ”
"But now I'm in a hurry, after all, I want to confirm what the situation is on the surface, so I didn't tell you just now."
Twilight felt discouraged for a while, and she didn't bother to worry too much about it.
[So, when can your container be destroyed?] 】
“…… It's hard to say, it depends on the concentration of chloride ions in the seawater and the temperature of the water. ”
Huo Gu replied ambiguously to Twilight's inquiry, according to the performance of the container, as well as the concentration of chloride ions in the sample, it is estimated that it will take thousands of years for the container to corrode to the point where it is impossible to maintain the dry ice inside.
[Alas, it's really hemp... Hey? This ......]
[Looks like we don't need to know what the surface is like.] 】
"What's wrong?"
The strange tone revealed in Twilight's words made Huo Gu feel unclear.
[Now that the temperature of the surface environment is decreasing, ice is appearing in various places. 】
[The second ice freezes, and soon it will come again.] 】
