Two days after arriving at Gutenberg, with Nicolas wounded in the foot and Hercules still training troops, Tianxuan followed the mining team alone to the source of energy.

Before leaving, Nicos limped and instructed: "Tianxuan, remember Hestia's words, don't run around if anything happens, you know?" ”

"Understood!" Tianxuan nodded knowingly. After speaking, he waved goodbye and got on the ship of the mining team.

The ship of the mining team looks much more atmospheric than the lotus ship, and it is several times larger than the lotus ship in terms of volume, and the speed is much faster, but the shape is a little ugly like a turtle.

Although the speed of the turtle ship is much faster, according to Hawkins, the leader of the mining team, to reach the source of energy, it will take at least two days to drift in the magma sea.

Tian Xuan was puzzled by this situation, he looked at the blonde Uncle Hawkins, and asked, "Since such a huge Gutenberg can be built, why not build a road or tunnel to lead to the source of energy, wouldn't it be very convenient?" ”

Hawkins glanced at Tianxuan and said helplessly: "I also know that smelling a road is faster than using a boat, but this is also something that can't be helped." ”

"Why?"

"For concealment!"

"Hidden? Could it be that it is hiding from some person or monster? Tianxuan asked with a blink of eyes and confusion.

"So to speak!" Hawkins replied briefly and went about his business.

"That's weird!" Seeing that none of them said it so clearly, Tianxuan muttered in his heart again: "What makes them so taboo that they don't even dare to build roads?" ”

With such a mood, Tianxuan was depressed for a while.

During the two-day voyage, Tianxuan discovered that the outer core asthenosphere was not entirely an orange magma sea, and from time to time he could also find many uninhabited islands, which were dark red, and the islands were full of many crater-like mountains.

Although Hawkins said that these islands do not erupt, it is a strange sight that the rocks will catch fire for a while when the lava waves crash against the dark red stones on the shore.

Not only that, but in the second half of the voyage, Tianxuan noticed that a pillar of light appeared around him that came out of the Priamos Mine and was seen outside Brentle. And these pillars of light are thicker and brighter than those outside Brentle.

After a while, the turtle ship sailed into the colorful pillars of light, and only then did Tian Xuanfang see the true face of the pillars of light - these huge pillars of light rose from the sea of orange magma like large iron pillars, and there were threaded ripples around the pillars of light slowly climbing upward.

"It looks like these pillars of light are indeed rising columns of liquid!" Tianxuan exclaimed for a moment, which was completely consistent with his speculation when he first saw the pillar of light. But what he never expected was that the source of this pillar of light was actually here, and it actually rose thousands of kilometers.

"yes, these pillars of light are indeed rising liquid columns, what's wrong? The first time you saw it? Hawkins asked.

"Not really! Not the first time I've seen it! It's just that I didn't expect this pillar of light to extend from this source to Brentle, and I was really shocked. As he spoke, Tianxuan took a deep breath.

Hawkins smiled and hurriedly corrected Tianxuan: "You are mistaken, this is not the source!" ”

"What? This is not the source, is it still below the lava sea? Tianxuan's eyebrows rose high, and his mouth opened wide, surprised.

"Hmmm! The source of the pillar of light is in the source of energy! Hawkins touched his chin and smiled.

“Oh，MyGod！” Tianxuan pressed his hands to his temples and shouted, "Then what is this pillar of light?" ”

"Don't worry, you'll know what's going on when you get to the source of energy!"

Then, Tianxuan waited with anticrative expectation for the turtle ship to dock.

Although the remaining voyage was less than 4 hours, it was too long for Tianxuan.

After surviving 4 hours, as soon as the turtle boat landed, Tianxuan couldn't wait to jump ashore.

When he jumped ashore, Tianxuan found that the place he occupied was a world made of countless cyan stones, a land that could not be seen as far as the eye could see.

"This must be the raw material of Gutenberg bricks!" Tianxuan asked, pointing to the cyan stone.

Hawkins nodded and replied, "Yes! This is indeed the raw material of Gutenberg bricks! Only here at the source of energy can there be such a stone that is not affected by magma. ”

Then, Tianxuan walked around and found that although it was cyan here, it was not lifeless, and there was some red sand here from time to time, and of course there were hell warts growing here.

After Tianxuan finished strolling, he saw that the mining team was walking towards a group of pillars of light, so he hurriedly followed.

When he followed the mining team to the pillar of light, he suddenly found that under the pillar of light was a small stream churning with dark red liquid.

After getting closer, Tianxuan found that the dark red liquid under the pillar of light was not magma, because the liquid surface of this stream kept sparkling and fluctuating like the normal water surface, and there was no viscous feeling like magma, nor the oily glow of the river Styx, anyway, it gave people an extremely pure, dark red without any impurities.

So, Tianxuan asked Hawkins: "Mr. Hawkins, what is under this pillar of light?" ”

"Pool of Blood!"

"Pool of blood?"

"Yes, the blood pool is the source of energy!"

After listening to Hawkins's explanation, Tianxuan felt that his head was about to explode, and thought: "No wonder it is dangerous here, it turns out that a living sacrifice is going to be carried out!" ”

"Hey! What are you thinking, young man? Hawkins patted Tianxuan, who was in a daze.

Tianxuan, who was slapped by Hawkins, immediately came back to his senses, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh! It's nothing! I just think the blood in the blood pool looks too disgusting! ”

"Ahh Hawkins burst into laughter.

"Damn! This guy can't be a Bian! Tianxuan squinted and looked at Hawkins with some alarm.

Hawkins laughed for a while, held his stomach and waved his hand, gasping for breath and said, "Blood? Ha ha! Oops, I'm laughing to death! ”

"Isn't it blood?" Tianxuan asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's not blood, it's just that because the source of energy is dark red like blood, it's called a pool of blood!"

"Oh! So that's it! At this time, Tianxuan's tense nerves relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

Next, Tianxuan saw the mining team put something in the blood pool, and then operated on the shore, and soon the light pillar in the blood pool became brighter and thicker.

Seeing this, Tianxuan said that it was difficult to understand, so he asked Hawkins what was going on. So Hoskin told him that the mining team was here to mine the blood pool, and their mission was to expand the pillar of light.

"So that's what happened? So what are these pillars of light that aren't magma? Tianxuan asked suspiciously.

"Energy!"

"Energy? I don't understand! Tianxuan shook his head continuously and said.

"Alright! Let me briefly explain to you, under this Gutenberg interface is the outer core of the earth, and these blood pools are a pure energy substance in the outer core, tasteless and lukewarm. ”

"Tasteless and lukewarm?" Tianxuan blinked and looked at Hawkins with an inexplicable expression.

"Huh! It's really like this, and there's nothing wrong with direct touch, don't believe it! With that, Hawkins crouched down by the pool of blood and stretched out his hand to copy it inside. Then, raise your hand to shake off the dark red liquid attached to your hand.

"It's so amazing, I'll try it too!" Seeing this scene, Tianxuan was immediately interested, hurriedly ran to the blood pool, squatted down and learned from Hawkins to copy it into the blood pool by hand.

"It's really tasteless and lukewarm!" Tianxuan said in surprise. At this moment, he suddenly felt a charging sensation flow through his body.

"Wow! This feeling is simply ......" When he said this, Tianxuan seemed to feel that his body was filled with infinite energy. It was a long time before he took his hand out of the pool of blood.

"How? How does it feel? Hawkins asked, smiling.

"It feels amazing! It would be nice to go down and take a dip! Tianxuan replied with a smile.

"No, no, no!" Hawkins' face immediately sank when he heard this, and he hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "Don't have the idea of going down to swim!" ”

"Why?"

"This pool of blood is full of unknown energy, just taste it, don't go down. Someone has tried it before, and guess what the result is? ”

"The result?"

"After a while, the man couldn't stand it anymore, and ran ashore as fast as he could, and then it wasn't long before he was smoky with smoke of all colors, and he died!" Hawkins solemnly admonished Tianxuan.

"Is it that serious?" Tianxuan's eyes widened and asked.

"It's that serious!" Hawkins replied in the affirmative.

“Oh，MyGod！ I'm glad you reminded me! Tianxuan thought about it afterwards and felt a little palpitating.

Next, Hawkins took the mining team to another blood pool to mine it.

After mining several pools of blood one after another, Tianxuan asked what the pillar of light was used for.

Hawkins told him when he was done with his work: "The source of energy itself is pure energy, but once it is mined, it is released in various forms. The light of the pillar of light is a release, and the volcanic eruption is also a release. ”

"Could it be that you are responsible for the magma sea here and the volcanic eruptions on it?" Tianxuan asked with wide eyes.

"You're so uplifting to me! First of all, I would like to tell you that the magma sea here is naturally formed, so it is relatively stable and there will be no eruptions. As for the volcanic eruption above, it is not entirely caused by us, as long as there is an energy leakage from the source of energy, it will produce upward pillars of light, of course, these pillars of light still retain most of the energy body, but there will inevitably be energy loss. The lost energy will turn into unstable magma, and after reaching it, it will erupt due to uncontrolled energy, resulting in volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and ground cracks. ”

"But isn't this kind of mining exacerbating the loss of energy?" Tianxuan asked, pointing to the pillar of light.

"That being said, but we're going to get more benefits, and Maya's technology is now able to control 95% of the loss. In addition, the diversion of magma by the streamer layer and other treatment measures have basically reached a controllable state! Hawkins explained.

"I see!" After listening to Hawkins' explanation, Tianxuan still didn't understand a little, so he went for a walk, digesting everything he had just told him about the source of energy as he went.
