Chapter 172: The Journey That Comes to an End
Yes, the survival mission is on such a small chair on the side of the road, and it is done.
When Artificial Intelligence Zero took them into the center of the city, that is, Zero Technology Company, Li Han knew that this was the Zero Research Institute, which was also the world's largest technology company before the end of the world.
The Zero Research Institute, which was full of infinite technology, not only made Li Han dumbfounded, but also made Shanfeng and Morry unable to even move a single step.
It's really shocking!
Research Institute Zero is on the 15th floor above ground, in the center of the Floating City Drive Room.
Countless squares that float like slabs of stone are constantly surrounding a shiny spherical object.
The slabs flickered and shimmered with a dazzling blue light, and then then disappeared again.
The spherical object in the middle of them was always shining with a dazzling white light, illuminating the entire space so that people couldn't open their eyes.
"This is where I mainly exist, and it is also the drive system of the entire Floating City, and it is also the equipment for collecting and refining the core crystals!" Standing in front of the sphere, the red robot introduced Li Han to them.
"As for the core crystals that this gentleman needs, please wait a minute!" As he spoke, the red robot suddenly lowered its head, and then stood there motionless.
Just when Li Han thought that there was something wrong with it, a loud voice suddenly came out of the ball of light.
"This gentleman, please put it away, although I don't know what you want to do, but, as the first person to land in this floating city in so many years, I believe you will make good use of him!"
Before the words could be spoken, a metal claw suddenly fell from the sky, and the center of the metal claw was grasping an oval metal pipe.
Through the glass shell on one side of the metal tube, Li Han could clearly see a faint red light shining inside.
This is the core crystal?
Li Han was so excited that his whole hand was trembling, and he carefully took this thing, "This, this is the core crystal block?" ”
"Yes sir, that's what you need for the core crystal!" The voice came from the ball of light again.
"Good!" Li Han carefully put the tin can into his backpack, and the task was completed so unexpectedly that he trembled a little, but after so many life and death tests, he is quite calm now.
However, now a new problem has arisen, the equipment that goes back, that is, the space equipment that shuttles between the two worlds, is now in the underground shelter full of bugs.
The problem was not with those insect monsters, but with Li Han not remembering where that shelter was!
"Do you know that shelter with weird flat bugs?" Although he was not hopeful, Li Han still asked the artificial intelligence who seemed to know everything.
However, Zero's answer was somewhat unexpected.
"Oh! Do you mean those phase lice? Of course, those things are a kind of creature that lives in the cracks of space! ”
"Phase lice? Spatial rifts? The corners of Li Han's mouth twitched, and he seemed to vaguely catch something.
"Yes!" The ball of light said with certainty, as if it found it a little uncomfortable to speak like this, the red robot raised its head again, and took the words of the ball of light, "Phase lice is a creature that lives in the gap of space, that is, as the saying goes, the world and the world only see the space gap, that is a strange, well, weird place!" ”
"That place is generally called the River of Time, because the speed of time in each world is different, so when you travel through two worlds, it will inevitably cause a loss of time and the passage of time!"
"So, when you travel through the world to another world, and then return, maybe countless days have passed in this world, but in the original world it may have only just passed a second!"
A river of time? Hearing this, Li Han's heart was lifted, it turned out that the strange and colorful corridor was a river of time!
No wonder my brain and I immediately traveled into this world, but there was a difference of decades, and it turned out to be caused by this!
And Zero continued, "As for the phasic tick, it is a creature that lives there, and generally the female worm is small, and the male worm is very large, and they can produce a very large number of larvae in one egg!" ”
"Their food is very miscellaneous, creatures, all kinds of unknown substances in the cracks of space, oh! Even the fragments of time can be devoured! ”
"Huh?" Looking at Li Han's forehead in a cold sweat, Zero seemed to think of something, "This gentleman, you can't have encountered this kind of phase tick, right?" You're lucky to have escaped from their mouths! ”
"These phase lice are one of the most famous disasters in the river of time!"
Li Han shuddered, this Nima's description was too terrifying, so Li Han told all the things in the underground shelter when he first crossed into this world.
"I didn't expect that you really met this creature and escaped, I have to say, you are so lucky, as for you to meet those transparent ghost creatures!"
"I think it may be a phenomenon of time re-enactment, that is to say, under the influence of the river of time, what once happened in that shelter has reappeared! But only images, no entities! ”
"It's like a mirage!"
"Oh!" Li Han nodded, this explanation is to explain, the transparent ghosts he saw at that time seemed to be afraid of something, they should have seen it a long, long time ago, but it was manifesting.
The doubts were solved one by one, and when Li Han asked about the relationship between the 7 good research institutes where he arrived at the 7th shelter and the well of the withered moon, Zero shook his head regretfully, saying that he didn't know either.
"After all, this world, no, the multidimensional universe is too large, there are too many unsolved mysteries, there are too many things that no one cares about, even if countless new and weird things are born every minute, it is not strange!"
"No one can fully explain these problems!"
Li Han nodded and didn't say anything more, it seems that some questions can only be precipitated in his heart forever in the end.
Zero finally said that if Li Han wanted to travel to another world, it also had the kind of instrument that could travel through space and allow Li Han to use it once.
However, this has to wait for all the people in Blood Pact Town to migrate to the Floating City, because the energy consumed to activate a space crossing is very huge!
Li Han was suddenly a little overjoyed, this is when he is sleepy, there are pillows to be delivered!
Immediately said that yes, he also wanted to watch Maury and them move to Floating City and leave!
