infoIt was in this space that the Exploration Alliance declared its independence from the bubble world.

After the establishment of the Expedition Alliance, echoing the adventure movement of the bubble world, there are constantly expedition bubble ships from the core of the earth to the Alliance, and the space they bring makes the volume of the Alliance's territory continue to expand, so that the explorers have obtained a base to advance at an altitude of 3,000 miles.

The world government, exhausted by the long war, could no longer stop this, and had to recognize the legitimacy of the expeditionary movement.

Beyond the mantle mountains, the density of the strata gradually decreases as the height increases, making excavation easier; In addition, the increase in gravity also makes the handling of crushed rock more convenient.

The expedition went a lot smoother.

In the eighth year after the war, there was a ship called "Needlepoint"

The expedition drill ship completed the remaining 3,500 kilometers and reached an altitude of 8,000 kilometers from the center of the planet and 5,000 kilometers from the edge of the bubble world.

"Wow, that's to reach the surface of the planet! You see the great plains and the real mountains, it's so exciting! ”

Nothing to excite about, "needlepoint"

It reached the bottom of the sea.

“。。。。。。”

At that time, the image of the seismic wave communication device disappeared after a few shakes, and the communication was completely interrupted.

At lower altitudes (e.g. silicon-based lifeforms) the bubble ship hears a sound, which translates into your air sound and "peels"

This is the high-pressure seawater pouring into the "needle tip" in an instant

number of spaces.

The mechanical life of the bubble world and the instruments and equipment on the ship must not come into contact with water, and the powerful current generated by the short circuit quickly vaporizes the seawater that penetrates into the human body and the inside of the machine, "the tip of the needle"

The crew and equipment of the ship exploded like bombs the moment the sea poured in.

Then, the Alliance sent more than a dozen expedition drills in different directions, but all encountered the same thing at the same altitude.

In addition to the mysterious "peel"

No more information came back.

Twice, I saw a strange crystalline fluctuation on the monitor screen, but I didn't know what it was.

The radar shock wave emitted by the following bubble ship sent back a completely inexplicable echo that was neither spatial nor rock formation.

For a time, the space cosmology was shaken, and the academic community began to talk about new models of the universe, new theories that determined the radius of the universe to be 8,000 kilometers, and believed that those vanishing exploration drills touched the edge of the universe.

The expedition sport faces a severe test, and the space occupied by the expedition drill ship, which was previously impossible to return, could theoretically be recovered, but now, once the bubble ship touches the edge of the universe, its space may be lost forever.

At this point, even the most determined explorer was shaken, because in this world in the stratum, space is non-renewable.

The coalition decided to send the last five expeditionary drill ships to ascend at an extremely slow speed as they approached an altitude of five thousand meters.

If the same happens, take a break from adventure sports.

After the loss of two more drill ships, the third "Spiral"

A breakthrough has been made.

At an altitude of five thousand meters, the "spiral"

The ship dug cautiously upwards at a very slow pace, and as it approached the bottom of the sea, the sea water did not collapse the rock formation on the roof of the ship as it had done before, but sprayed in a high-pressure jet through a narrow crack in the rock formation.

"Spiral"

The ship is 360 meters long in the sailing section, which is the largest among the high-level exploration ships, and it took nearly an hour for the jet of water to fill the ship's space.

Before the water burst into the water, the ship's seismometer recorded the shape of the seawater and sent the data and images back to the Union in its entirety.

And just like that, the Kernel Man saw the liquid for the first time.

In the ancient times of the bubble world, there may have been liquids, which were hot magma, and then the geology of the planet stabilized, the magma solidified, and there was only solid in the core of the earth.

Some scientists have theoretically predicted the existence of liquids, but no one believes that there is such a mythical substance in the universe.

Now, from the images that have been sent back, people have seen the liquid with their own eyes.

They watched in amazement at the white jet, as the surface of the water slowly rose in the space inside the ship, as the demonic substance, which seemed to defy all the laws of physics, adapted to whatever shape of its attachment, penetrated into every tiniest crevice; The surface of the rock seems to change its nature when it comes into contact with it, darkening its color and increasing its reflectivity; What intrigues them the most is that most of the objects sink into the substance, but there are partially burst fragments of human bodies and machines that float on top of the liquid!

The nature of these fragments is no different from that of those that have sunk, and the core people have given this liquid substance a name, the Invisible Rock.

The future exploration will be relatively smooth.

Expedition Alliance engineers designed something called a pilot pipe, which is a 200-metre-long hollow drill pipe that, when drilled through the rock formation, opens like a lid to channel seawater into the tube, which has a valve at the bottom.

After the bubble boat with the pilot tube and drilling rig rose to an altitude of 5,000 meters, the pilot tube smoothly penetrated the rock formation and reached the bottom of the sea.

After all, drilling is the most familiar technology for the core people, but there is another technology they don't know anything about, and that is sealing.

Since there are no liquids and gases in the bubble world, there is no sealing technology either.

The valve at the bottom of the lead pipe is very loose, and if the valve is not opened, the seawater has leaked out.

This proved to be a blessing, because if the valve was fully opened, the kinetic energy of the high-pressure seawater that rushed into it would be much greater than the previous seepage in the tiny crack, and the high-pressure jet would cut off everything it encountered like a laser.

The flow of water seeping in from the closed valve is now controllable.

You can imagine how shocking it was for the explorers in the boats to watch the thin lines of water spew out before their eyes.

And it can use high-pressure seawater kinetic energy to convert into bubble boat electric energy.

However, they are as ignorant of liquids as your primitives are about electricity. After carefully filling a bucket of water with a metal container, the drill ship descended and buried the pilot tube in the rock formation. In the process of descending, the explorers carefully guarded the bucket of seawater as a specimen, and soon made a new discovery: the invisible rock is actually transparent!

The seawater that seeped into the crack last time was mixed with sediment so that they did not notice this. As the depth of the bubble boat increases, so does the temperature, and the explorers are horrified to see that the invisible rock is actually a living form!

It came to life, its surface tumbling in anger in a terrifying form of countless bubbles. (The water reaches a boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius) but the monster consumes itself while showing its vitality, turning into a ghostly white shadow and disappearing into the air. When the invisible rocks in the barrel turned into white shadows and disappeared, the explorers in the cabin felt the abnormality of their bodies, and the short-circuited electric sparks flickered in their bodies, and finally they all turned into fireworks and died in agony. The people in the Alliance base saw this horrific scene through the seismic images transmitted back by the monitors, but the monitors also quickly short-circuited and shut down. The bubble boat that went to pick up the bubble boat also suffered the same fate, and after docking with the descending bubble boat, the crew of the bubble boat also short-circuited and died, as if the invisible lithification made a kind of death that filled all space. But the scientists also found that this time the short circuit was not as drastic as the last one, and they concluded that as the volume of space increases, the density of the liquid vaporization (known to the earth's core as the invisible death) also decreases. Then, at the cost of more lives, the Coremen finally discovered another form of matter they had never been exposed to: gas.
