Chapter 598: Blow It Up
The deep sea city of Nasattoun, the massive protective wall that now hangs over the ancient city is about to close for the first time in 10,000 years. The translucent film above the city is slowly disintegrating and fading around the vertices, and the spatial intermediary and the layers of invisible labyrinths that can block outsiders are also ineffective. And as the Great Parapet closed, the huge vortex directly above the city gradually lost its energy supply, its edges trembled slightly, and then it moved a little slower - but as the Kraken Queen had predicted, the vortex did not disappear, it was still growing, slowly, but unstoppable.
Hao Ren led everyone back to the surface of the city (the word "surface" is a bit strange in the deep sea), and he looked at the big whirlpool overhead, which gave people an inexplicable psychological pressure, as if it would fall down and swallow a qiΔ at any moment: "Now we have a month to close this thing, and I think it will directly affect my year-end bonus this year...... So which of you has a more reliable plan? β
The number of jΓΉ terminals did not hesitate at all: "Blow it up." β
Hao Ren thought for a while, reached out and grabbed Doudou from the water next to him and held it up in front of the terminal: "You have thirty seconds to explain clearly, and if you can't explain clearly, you can play with her all day." β
The number of jΓΉ terminals "ε§slip" suddenly rushed out several meters away: "Put down that fish!" This machine is not kidding you! β
Doudou happily slapped his face: "No kidding! No kidding! β
"Okay," Hao Ren let Doudou out and let the little guy continue to swim in circles, while looking up at the number of terminals, "Are you really going to blow up this maelstrom?" To be sure, I don't think this thing will dissipate once it is detonated, it has accumulated a lot of energy in the Nasaton energy core and the center of the earth. Once these things are released......"
"Once released, then you can be rated as the number one villain of the century without doing anything, and it is not enough to let superheroes shoot for half an hour in the movie. The kind that has to be resurrected and killed again in the next episode," the number of terminals buzzed around Hao Ren's head. "But theoretically, we can release its energy into other places - such as into the void. We can detonate at both ends of this maelstrom at the same time, destroying its structural stability, so that its energy will be concentrated towards the center, and its 'center' is located between the surface world and the dream plane, in other words, it will be banished into the void. Of course, it takes a little bit of precision...... However, if we do succeed, we will not only be able to resolve this vortex, but the power it will generate will also push the dream plane and the surface world a little bit away, so that we will also strengthen the wall of reality a little. Kill two birds with one stone. β
Hao Ren listened carefully, simulated it in his mind a few times, and pretended to be very professional: "Although I don't understand it, it sounds quite reliable." But you said it detonated at both ends of the maelstrom at the same time...... What is the other end of the spectrum? β
Nangong May, who was listening to the excitement next to her, suddenly reacted: "Dream plane?!" β
The number of jΓΉ terminals floated up and down: "That's right, the dream plane." According to local observations, the portal is already taking shape, and the other end of it should have opened somewhere on the dream plane. We detonated both ends of the dream plane and the surface world at the same time, and the whole world was silent in a moment. β
Hao Ren looked around and nodded: "I think this is somewhat feasible." β
Lily touched her chin and thought for a moment, "But to be honest, I don't seem to understand." β
"It's okay, I didn't understand." Hao Ren waved his hand, "Anyway, let's just detonate it at both ends of the maelstrom at the same time, don't care what the principle is, anyway, we won't be able to figure it out a few times." So how do we locate the other end of this vortex? β
Hasselblad led the two witchers and stared at the excitement. At this time, Bai Huo suddenly couldn't help but mutter: "Can you really save the world like this?" β
"It is said that they are like this every time they save the world," Nangong Sanba cried and laughed, "It's like TM adding stunts......"
"Why don't you stay away if you're not going to help?" Vivien squinted at the few of them, "We're discussing how to save the world." β
Hasselblad's stiff face twitched slightly. There was a strange brilliance in one's eyes: "After you are done discussing, can you take the time to explain to me what is happening?" I ...... you Some interest. β
Hao Ren waved his hand indifferently to show that he knew, but his heart was relieved: this old stubborn who didn't care about anything but "demon hunting" finally took the initiative to take the bait. It was not in vain that he tried his best to shake the high technology in front of the other party and talk about saving the world, so that the other party was willing to explore the dream plane is obviously more effective than others preaching in the past, and the first brick of his pry into the world's most stubborn witcher force is about to start shaking......
And judging by Hasselblad's tone, this brick is quite swaying.
"Can you put a probe over there?" At this time, Vivien conjured a bat and threw it in the direction of the maelstrom, "I see that the door is almost open, maybe there is a crack in the door or something to drill through, let's use the detector to pass through and locate on the opposite side, and then enter the dream plane from somewhere else, and find the other end of the maelstrom......"
"Don't," the number of terminals hurriedly stopped, "we have to do everything possible to prevent 'information' from passing through the wall of reality, you have to remember that 'information is everything', and sending a detector with a message function to the other side is far more dangerous than if you fired a shot at it here." If possible, let alone the probe, we won't let a single stone pass it. β
"And how do we know where the other end of the portal is on the dream plane?" Izzax asked sullenly, "The universe is so big, do you use the radar to sweep it slowly?" β
The number jΓΉ terminal swayed slightly: "So the biggest difficulty in this plan is to confirm the location of the other end of the portal: you have to find where the other end of it is within a month, and then throw the explosives into it." Other than that, explosives and other things are the easiest to deal with. β
The Siren Queen had been listening, trying to keep up with Hao Ren's conversation. Even though she couldn't understand a lot of things, she could still guess what the men were trying to do: "Where are you going to find the maelstrom?" β
Lily's ears suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty the Queen, do you know?!" β
"Just call me Caterina, you're a distinguished guest, and you don't need to be polite in the Siren City," the Siren Queen smiled, "and about this maelstrom, if I'm not mistaken, it probably leads to our homeland." β
"I know, it leads to the dream plane...... Hao Ren said subconsciously, but suddenly reacted, "Wait, you mean the origin planet of the Kraken?" β
"We don't know exactly where we came from, but we probably know that we're from a far away place - certainly not here," Queen Catherine nodded, "The water in the Nasaton Water Dome is a little different from the water on this planet. Of course, the chemistry is the same, but the Kraken can tell some very subtle differences: we believe that the water inside the Water Dome comes from its homeland. β
Hao Ren looked up at the water dome above the city, which still had a barrier after the Great Parapet was closed, and that was Nasaton's own dome shield. This shield isolates the entire city from the outside world, and the water inside it has not been lost for 10,000 years, but is constantly renewed, which is how the urban ecosystem works.
The whole city is a huge space fortress, which still maintains a good airtight to this day.
"You feel the same breath from the maelstrom as you do inside the Water Dome?" Lily asked, blinking.
Catrina closed her eyes slightly: "Yes, and maybe it is these breaths that make the Krakens easily controlled by that monster - we are eager to return to our homeland, so when the breath of our hometown comes from the maelstrom, the Krakens unconsciously give up resistance...... We were homesick. β
The scene was a little dull, and finally Vivien clapped her hands: "Okay, we now have a goal: to find the location of the Kraken planet on the dream plane." How do I feel that the difficulty has not decreased much? β
Nangong May couldn't cry or laugh: "From looking for a needle in a haystack to fishing for beans in a haystack, but it's useless, who knows where our origin planet is!" β
Doudou heard her name called, and quickly swam over to rub May's arm, and then hovered in the water and stopped moving: she waited for someone to come and fish herself.
Hao Ren touched his chin, and an idea came to his mind: "There are 'people' who know...... Nasaton is a starship that knows where it came from! (To be continued......)
