Chapter 414: A Strange World (1)
......On the river surface deep in the canyon, a miniature version of the ground effect aircraft is speeding at a distance of two meters above the water. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info front end of the aircraft, Cheng Mingli held a single energy rifle and watched the movement on the induction radar alertly. Behind him, Yan Huijun grabbed the smart suit wrapped around his body to prevent the high-speed air flow from blowing away his only piece of clothing.
The ground effect aircraft is not large, only seven meters long, and the widest point is less than twelve meters with wings, and a flying machine of this size is not even a lifeboat. This ground-effect aircraft was bought by Chen Mingli from an antique shop in the Guanghangong Generation Spacecraft during his study tour.
The ground effect aircraft is made of high-strength engineering plastics as a whole, and it is also inflated, and even the engine used in the thruster is a jet engine with more noise than thrust. Fortunately, the engine as a whole is made of titanium alloy from the Rotten Street of the Interstellar Era, otherwise, even this ground effect aircraft cannot be used in the Dyson world.
As for the energy rifle in Cheng Mingli's hand, it was not affected by the super magnetic source in the Dyson world. Since the main components of the energy rifle are energy conduction crystal circuits and multi-level shaped crystals, the other parts are made of more lightweight and durable titanium and zirconium alloys or even the nameless metals that are as light as foam but extremely strong, which are more suitable for strong magnetic field environments. The previous underwater cave was dug by Cheng Mingli using the energy rifle in his hand.
Cheng Mingli was extremely glad that his space watch usually contained so many useless things, if it weren't for this maverick ground effect aircraft, Cheng Mingli would probably have had a very difficult time leaving the canyon. The front and back are endless long rivers, and on both sides are cliffs with a height of dozens of kilometers, even if you climb to the top of Cheng Mingli, who is tired to death.
Judging from the information obtained by Iwa, the bottom of the canyon is a strange and dangerous area for the Dyson people. Even Dyson people who have lived here for I don't know how many years do not know much about this place. In the past, several major empires had sent people to investigate the bottom of the canyon, but all the people who went down were gone. After a few times, the bottom of the canyon became a dangerous forbidden place for the Dyson people, and even the later principalities would not easily set foot in it.
Regarding Yan Huijun's statement, Cheng Mingli was noncommittal. Not to mention the "shallow pits" under the canyon, he has explored even the deeper aquifers. Danger, could there be more danger down there than the lava sea? However, Mingli still took a safe account and turned on the induction radar on the ground effect aircraft, and at the same time held a gun on guard.
It is really helpless to bring Yan Huijun, although the latter is directly a burden, but letting him fend for himself is not something that a hearted person like Cheng Mingli can do. Moreover, Yan Huijun is not all a burden, at least Cheng Mingli has gotten a lot of information from Yan Huijun under the side knocks on the side.
Although the latter still doesn't believe in himself and is wary of himself everywhere, a lot of common-sense information that is not too confidential Yan Huijun will still say it obediently. On the one hand, this is taken by Cheng Mingli's "obscenity", and on the other hand, there is no lack of his idea of leaving this place safely.
According to Iwa, the river below the canyon is known to the Dyson people as the Endless Sea, at least a part of it. These rivers do not look very wide, and they are only a few tens of kilometers away at very narrow points. However, the depth is unfathomable, and even the most marginal places can reach depths of thousands of meters.
In the ancient legend of the Dyson people, the ocean was not like this, but vast and unfathomable. But then the heavens and the earth changed color, and the ocean was gone, only the bottomless abyss beneath the canyon remained. Customarily, the Dyson people still turn bottomless canyon rivers into seas. And these rivers often flow endlessly around the entire Dyson world, from which the name of the Endless Sea comes from.
Dyson World is strange in that humans here do not live on land, but in canyons more than ten kilometers below the surface. The Dyson people carved rocks into the cliffs of the canyon and dug huge holes in the walls, and the Dyson people's homes were built in such places.
Of course, there are some people who live in a different environment, and in the Dyson world there is a giant bamboo that grows between the cliffs, and this giant bamboo is as strong as the pine trees that are tangled in the rocks and crevices on the earth. Moreover, the diameter of the giant bamboo is very terrifying, the adult giant bamboo can even grow to a diameter of 55 meters, the height between each section can reach more than 20 meters, and the overall height of one or two thousand meters is also a large number.
The growth cycle of this giant bamboo is very long, and some can even reach thousands of years. As a result, many adult giant bamboos grow throughout their life cycle and petrify from their roots, and many older giant bamboos even turn into hard rock except for the necessary transport screens.
The Dyson people chose such a giant bamboo, dug a hole from the outside, hollowed out the internal debris of the bamboo, and then placed their home in the giant bamboo. The transport screen inside Juzhu provides a natural circulation system for the new home. An incision is made in the catheter that transports the water, and a steady stream of fresh water comes out. A hole is dug in the sieve pipe that transports nutrients, and household waste such as excrement has a place to go.
Tens of thousands of years of life have formed a natural and harmonious symbiotic relationship between Dyson and Giant Bamboo, Dyson people rely on Giant Bamboo to shelter from the wind and rain, and Giant Bamboo relies on Dyson people's careful maintenance to survive healthily and forever.
Because each family lives in a very different place, it is common for Dyson people to use a hang glider as a means of short-distance transportation.
The canyon environment makes the canyon interior blow a mild valley wind all year round, the valley wind blows from one direction to another, and the warm water vapor that floats up from the valley floor makes the glider a tool that is very easy to operate in the Dyson world, so it has become a must-have tool for ordinary people to travel at home.
It doesn't rain in Dyson Worlds – at least in the areas where Dyson people live, because the clouds are all deeper at the foot of the Dyson home. But Dyson people are still bothered by the rain, but this rain is stone rain.
Due to the existence of a huge magnetic source in the sky above the Dyson world, countless stones containing magnetic metals are constantly being pulled away from the surface of the continent and suspended into the high altitude of the continent at any given moment.
There are many suspended mountains in the air of the continent, and these suspended mountains are constantly moving over the continent under the influence of the gravitational pull of the two rocky planets in space. In the process of moving, the suspended mountains kept colliding, and many non-magnetic stones would be separated from the suspended mountains, and then the influence of gravity on the hand continent fell downward, which formed the stone rain of Dyson World.
This kind of stone rain comes very suddenly, there is no way to give early warning like a weather forecast, and sometimes, even before the warning information is transmitted, the people living on the ground have already suffered heavy casualties. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Dyson people abandoned the flat continent in favor of building a city in the cliffs.
The alternation of day and night in Dyson's world is somewhat similar to the North and South poles on Earth, with either long daylight hours or long periods of complete darkness. The day comes from a steadily burning yellow dwarf star at the center of Dyson's world, while the night comes from the projection of two planets on the continent.
The whole Dyson world is a bit like the inner wall of a basketball. The outermost part is a vast landmass, and at the center of the sphere are stars, and between the stars and the land is a miniature version of the star system, two planets, and several dense asteroid belts that fill the entire space, and that's what Dyson's world is all about.
"Giggle...... "A large flock of strangely shaped birds fluttered their wings and flew out of the woods on the cliff walls on both sides, and in the blink of an eye, the entire canyon that spanned dozens of kilometers was squeezed to the ground, and even the pink sky became dark.......
"It's like a bird in the sky wants to respond, whoosh, rattle......" Countless strange-looking fish jumped out of the bottom of the water, spreading their short transparent fins and gliding against the surface of the water, and from time to time an unlucky egg crashed into a high-speed flying ground effect aircraft, either crushed to pieces or fell into the cabin to raise corpses.
"Hehe, it's so polite, seeing that my hungry chest is against my back, and the food actually takes the initiative to come to the door" Cheng Mingli looked at the flying fish that was still bouncing inside the ground effect aircraft, and was suddenly happy, and his split mouth even showed his back molars.
"Ahh …… Be careful! Just as Cheng Mingli grabbed a fish and sharpened his knife, Yan Huijun, who was sitting behind, pointed to the front of the aircraft with trembling hands and horror. (To be continued.) )
