On the earth, human beings thrive on the ground, and all things, no matter where they are, are directly or indirectly bathed in the sun's brilliance, which can also be said to be the original source of energy for the earth's biosphere.

But in this alien world, there is an ecological environment similar to the earth dozens of kilometers underground, and it is obvious that the energy source of the biosphere here is also the sun, and the role of those glowing Optimus Pillars is also obvious not only to provide lighting and support the upper crust, they should be the sun of this underground world, the source of energy for all things.

"Brother, there are fish in this water." North's cheerful voice came from the brook not far away.

But it was not Cheng Shi who heard the sound, but saw the big bird that had always had sensitive ears shouting while running: "Grab a few and raise them in the spaceship, you can use them as hot pot ingredients in the future." ”

"It's okay to catch fish, but you can't go into the water." Cheng Shi shouted at the two beautiful girls from afar, and after speaking, he walked towards the nearest Optimus Prime.

Even if Cheng Shi walked up to the giant pillar, the pale light emanating from its entire body was still not very dazzling. Cheng Shi patted the surface of the giant pillar with the sword side of the Watcher's Blade, and immediately heard several sounds similar to metal hitting stones.

"Master, the ship has detected that the material of these pillars is high-strength black crystal, with good energy storage and thermal conductivity functions, it goes up to the near the surface and extends down to the core, the main part is a rectangular structure, and there are crystal tentacles similar to plant roots at both ends extending around, and its role should be mainly to supply energy to this underground ecosystem." The information bridge was scanned and flashed with lights.

The result of the ship model scan was actually similar to Cheng Shi's conjecture, but when he heard the black crystal, his heart was still tight, because it was very reminiscent of those black monsters that reset the planet's ecology.

"Dark Crystal? I didn't expect it to play the role of saving civilization here. Cheng Shi muttered to himself.

"In terms of the atomic structure of the matter, the dark crystals here are similar to those seen on the planet Treants, but they are much stronger, just like the difference between graphite and diamond, although they are both carbon, they are many times weaker." Information Bridge analogy analysis.

Cheng Shi nodded clearly: "In other words, this underground world relies on these black crystals to indirectly receive the sun's light and heat?" ”

"For now, this is true, but the higher creatures living here should be very afraid of the harmful radiation in the sun, and these pillars filter the sunlight more thoroughly than the magnetic field on Earth."

"Are the magical races so afraid of solar radiation? When they cast spells, although they borrowed magic materials, the ultimate source of power was still sunlight, wasn't it? Cheng Shi asked with some confusion.

"Although this is the case, it does not rule out the peculiarities of certain races, but it is still somewhat unusual to filter sunlight to this extent." InfoBridge explained.

Cheng Shi asked the information bridge to scan the ecological environment parameters of this underground world again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he was the first to take off his life support suit and face the world with his body.

The air around them was a little cool, but it was fresh, and in the distance, except for a stream and a few bushes, there was an endless grassland, not even a pedestrian path, just like when they first arrived on the planet Montoio, it was clear that this place should be rarely set foot in, it was a pure land.

Cheng Shi pondered that since there was no road, it would naturally be inconvenient to explore the world by car, so he decided to take everyone on a road first, and then consider the next step after learning a little about the local social development situation.

The group walked happily forward, along the way

Although they came across an abandoned thatched hut, there were only a few wooden farm tools and some rough daily necessities, which was of little significance for judging the overall development of the world, but it still gave them a general idea of the level of agricultural development here.

"Cheng Shi, it should be daytime here, right?" Barbara poked Cheng Shi's back with her elbow as she walked, "How can there be no one?" ”

Cheng Shi turned his head and glanced at Barbara, and said thoughtfully: "These crystal pillars have the function of storing energy, they should always shine, it is difficult to judge day and night before we arrive in the town here, but we have not met anyone for half a day, according to the routine here, it may be night now." ”

Barbara sighed, but still had a puzzled face: "But with my talent for perceiving magic, I can feel that the energy around me is weakening, I wonder if it has something to do with those glowing crystal pillars?" Normally, the energy of the sunlight at night is much lower than during the day, and these glowing crystal pillars may dim or go out at night. ”

Cheng Shi smiled comfortingly: "Don't be too nervous, you can meet someone in a while, when we first arrived in Montoio, didn't we walk a long way to meet Brian the Autobot." ”

"Landlord, I see that there seems to be a road ahead." With the advantage of an altitude of more than ten meters, Oldman can naturally see farther, "It seems to be a dirt road, not too wide." ”

Everyone also walked for more than an hour, although they were not tired, but not only did they not meet a living person along the way, but they didn't even touch a dead person, Cheng Shi, as the captain, wanted to turn the information bridge into a magic car, and then drove quickly to the towns of this world, so when he heard that there was a road in front of him, his eyes were also bright.

"Where?" Cheng Shi jumped on the spot, stretched his neck and looked ahead, "It's okay to have a dirt road, just walk a car." ”

Barbara slammed her wings and flew forward, and in a moment her voice came from ahead: "There really is a road, it's a long dirt road." ”

Cheng Shi immediately turned his head and waved his hand at Yang Yang and North: "Let's go quickly, we can take the car on the road in a while." ”

The two underage girls did not change their listless appearance because they found a road, and it was clear that they were aesthetically tired of the idyllic scenery around them, and they were tired mentally rather than physically.

Cheng Shi saw that the two girls were not motivated, so he had an idea: "I can tell you, if you don't go into the city, there is no place to eat." ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two underage girls immediately sparkled, and they trotted all the way in the direction of Barbara.

It turns out that only hitting the key points of the team members' greatest concern is an effective incentive, and the key to Cheng Shi, the two least disciplined members of the team, is their sense of taste, and this key point has nothing to do with whether they have just eaten or not.

The five of them came to a small road in a blink of an eye, this is a country dirt road that can almost drive a car, everyone saw that there were no obvious rut marks on the road, and there were no pedestrian footprints on the road, and looking to both sides, you could vaguely see that the road should be quite wide before, after no one walked for a long time, both sides of the road have been eroded by weeds, maybe it won't be long before the whole road will disappear.

After Cheng Shi transformed the ship model into a god car, everyone got into the car.

An industrial technology product from the earth, at least from the appearance of the earth seems to be the earth technology, galloping on this country road in this alien underground world that I don't know what the name is, the speed of the car is not fast, but because it is a dirt road, there is still a lot of dust behind the car, it looks very good

Pull the wind.

It is said that after being possessed by the high-tech of the gods, the shock absorption effect has not been improved, but fortunately, the information bridge has been considered, and now the seat layout in the car is a five-seat model, and everyone has an independent seat, after each of them writes down the seat belt, even if there are some bumps, but it will not sit unstable.

Rumble......

"Damn, which sand sculpture dug a hole in the middle of the road?" The thunderous fury of the information bridge sounded in the car.

The five people were also confused in the face of the emergency, or it may be because the car was a little dizzy after suddenly falling into the pit.

After Cheng Shi reacted, he looked around and found that this pit was not right, it should be said that this trap seemed to be tailor-made for Wuling Hongguang, and it was almost just enough to accommodate this car.

"Don't panic, everyone," Cheng Shi said calmly, "haven't we never seen a living person?" Since someone is digging a trap waiting for us to jump, then now that we have jumped in, someone should come. ”

"This is too bottomless, digging a pit in the middle of the road, is it obviously a pit?" Yang Yang analyzed.

Barbara shook her head: "We have no ill intentions, why do we have to meet them like this?" ”

Oldman spread his hands: "Landlord, I don't think it's necessary." ”

"Brother, what happens if someone falls? It's scary. The little mermaid muttered in horror.

"Master, we are here to help, and this car also feels a little too humiliating to see them like this." The tone of the information bridge was very unhappy.

Hearing everyone's complaints, Cheng Shi still looked relaxed: "They don't know the purpose of our coming, so let's just think that we don't know each other, let's be calm and wait." ”

After waiting quietly in the car for another ten minutes, the sound of people finally came from outside, mixed with the creaking sound of wooden blocks rubbing against each other, as if it was some kind of wooden transportation.

The first voice came from a middle-aged man: "I heard a lot of movement, this time it should be a big guy." ”

"Aren't those things all night action? Why is it also during the day? A young man said.

"No one has walked this road for a long time, maybe those things think that there is no one here, and they dare to run out during the day." It was a shrill woman's voice.

"It sounds like there are only three of them." Yang Yang whispered.

Cheng Shi immediately turned his head and made a "shh ”

"Boss, what is this?" The young man pointed to the ceiling of Wuling Hongguang, his voice full of surprise.

Knock Knock......

The woman standing next to the young man tapped the roof of the car twice with the stick in her hand: "This thing seems to be made of metal, boss, we have made a fortune." ”

"Send you a ghost fortune, don't die, let's get so much metal back, it's better to collapse first and then judge." The middle-aged man scolded.

Knock Knock...... Knock Knock......

The two men each knocked on the roof of the car, then nodded to each other, confirming that the big guy below was really made of metal.

"Boss, since it's a dead thing, then you don't need to tie it up with a rope, just pull it up, right?" The young man asked.

The middle-aged man looked around, and after finding that there was no one else around, he bowed slightly: "Pull it up." ”

So the three of them dug out the ends of two ropes that had been buried in the trap from the surrounding meadow, and prepared to pull their prey out of the pit.
