Chapter 422: Lava Base
Chapter 422: Lava Base
Flashes, countless flashes of light faded quickly in front of the eyes, and the 500 kilometers per second traffic ball was speeding quickly in the vacuum pipe. The green light on the passages on both sides of the www.biquge.info was stretched out at a very fast speed and flew backwards. The light in front of it was also elongated by the speed of the traffic ball, and it became a slender ray.
Cheng Mingli sat quietly in the traffic balloon and waited for the arrival of the finish line. Inertial dampers and anti-gravity engines are tuned so that even at 50 km/s acceleration the balloon is not uncomfortable. Preliminary estimates suggest that it will take up to 25 minutes to reach the magma sea from the surface at this speed.
The operation of the traffic ball is naturally regulated by monitoring centers all over the underground transportation network, which Cheng Mingli will not care about at all. Along the way, Cheng Mingli was preparing for a verbal report and a list of supplies that the squadron urgently needed. If the situation allows, it is best to fool the two squadrons of Li Mosen and Zhu Liheng together.
There are only more than 150 people in the 750,000-kilometer-long plant passage, which is really empty. Therefore, Cheng Mingli planned to suggest to Eugene that half of the entire fleet be evenly distributed among the functional nodes of the plant channel, such a large space, if you don't arrange something to go in, it will be a tyrannical thing.
"Whew!" The traffic ball, which had completed the deceleration, flew from the main road into the branch on the side, and then the airtight compartment opened, and Cheng Mingli got up from the soft chair in the traffic ball and walked out of the airtight passage. This is the last transportation node near the lava sea, and the boiling magma is not far ahead.
An absolute vacuum must be maintained inside the fast aisle to prevent acceleration obstruction due to air resistance. Therefore, the traffic balloon is infiltrated from the branch airtight chamber of the traffic node, and the airtight chamber empties the air in the branch road, and then the traffic ball can really enter the fast lane and accelerate.
In front of the traffic node, there were already soldiers with guns at the entrance of the passage. The soldiers had long tails behind their backs, pale blue skin, pointed ears, and flat and wide noses like lions, typical features that Cheng Mingli knew at a glance that these were Wa soldiers. As the first vassal clan of the earth's civilization, they appear in almost every corner of human society, and even the core area of the Panjia has an administrative planet that belongs to them.
The soldiers of the Wa tribe were brave and good at fighting, and together with the Wei tribe, they formed the backbone of the regular armament of the Jinwu fleet. After verifying Cheng Mingli's authority and identity, the two Wa soldiers flicked their slender tails and saluted Cheng Mingli, and then a soldier stepped forward and guided Cheng Mingli to the underground base in the magma sea.
The "Hu ......" passage opened, and the imaginary heat did not appear, but the surrounding area of the passage was still red, and it seemed that this passage made of transparent spars was directly established in the magma sea. This kind of architectural crystal Ming Cang was introduced to Cheng Mingli, and it is similar to the materials used in the construction of the Sun Car submarine before Ming Cang, and it may also be more advanced.
The entire base looks like a neuronal cell overgrown with dendrites. Thick tentacles made of countless hedrons waved in the sea of magma. On the one hand, these tentacles act as a connecting channel between the base and the plant passages, and on the other hand, they continuously extract massive amounts of energy from the lava sea to supply the entire base.
The spar traffic vehicle the size of a hovering car slid quickly on the smooth and smooth spar road, and five minutes later, a huge opening appeared in front of Cheng Mingli's eyes. Outside the entrance of the passage, a magnificent city made of crystal unfolded in front of Cheng Mingli's eyes.
"Hahaha, stinky boy, how's it going? I've never seen such a large piece of Crystal City, right? Even when President Chen Peilin got married, he only arranged a crystal hall inside the Kunlun Mountain, which was really inferior to this lava city" Eugene, who was waiting in front of the passage with nothing to do, couldn't help laughing and boasting when he saw Chen Mingli arrive. The size of the spar hall used by Chen Peilin when he got married was very small, but any one of them was worth more than the entire lava base.
"Cut! Lava City, who's the name, it's hard to hear. If it is built in the magma sea, it is called Lava City, so it might as well be called Fire Dragon Palace" Chen Mingli looked left and right, and sneered unceremoniously.
"Good boy, see that I don't hurt you" With a snort, Eugene kicked Chen Mingli's ass with one leg, but was cleverly dodged by Cheng Mingli, and Eugene's corner was directly kicked into the air, and the crystal vehicle parked on the side was kicked more than ten meters away with a bang. But this fierce move is useless to Cheng Mingli, from childhood to adulthood, Eugene's scud Cheng Mingli has eaten I don't know how much, and he can hide with his eyes closed.
"Woooooooooo......oo When I go back, I will tell Aunt Mariliana that you have raised a junior, a fourth, and a fifth child here, and I found out and threatened me with force! Cheng Mingli dodged and sprinkled.
"You little bastard, how could a person with such an upright father raise such a little slippery head of you," Eugene scolded with a smile. Then he stepped forward, patted Cheng Mingli on the shoulder, and slid towards the urban area of Lava City in a crystal vehicle.
In order to reduce the size of the base and reduce the target to prevent it from being discovered by the enemy, the diameter of the base is only twenty kilometers. In order to maximize the internal volume, the base not only looks like a neuronal cell on the outside, but even its internal structure is built according to the network structure inside the cell.
Sticking to the inner walls of the base, countless long crystal passages intersect with each other from the inside out, forming a complex living and transportation area. At the center of the base, through the center of the sphere, is a crystal pillar with a diameter of three kilometers.
Countless pale blue roads with a thickness of about one meter protrude from the crystal pillars of the giant star, connecting with layers of intersecting passages, forming a transportation network within the base. There are no hovering vehicles like hovercars in this hedron building, and high-speed movement is carried out by crystal vehicles that glide at high speed against smooth roads.
The base floats around the lava sea every three to five months. This is a real drift, and in order to prevent the Cone people monitoring outside from discovering the clues, the entire lava base will rarely start the main power engine, except for the attitude adjustment engine to weakly adjust its own position.
As a result, the base "goes with the flow" and looks like an unmolten diamond aggregate or some other alloy ore with a high melting point. This presence is really not surprising in the entire magma sea, and there are such "hard bones" in many places.
The reason why the time is set between three months and five months is to prevent the route of the base from being too simple. This is because only man-made objects or gravitationally attracted celestial bodies move in a single orbit. In a turbulent sea of magma, this constant course of action is as conspicuous as sending subspace communications to the other side.
The short hours of each stop are the time for the base to exchange information and supplies with expatriates. On that day, the expatriates led by Cheng Mingli will assemble outside the base, relay the news they get to Eugene, and then bring back all the supplies they need. Other than that, there will be no communication between the two parties.
Two hours later, Cheng Mingli, who had received the supplies and personnel, left the lava base that had been disconnected. At the moment when Cheng Mingli walked into the plant passage, Mingcang's communication came over, and the latest progress was made in the research of particle weapons. (To be continued.) )
