"It's actually an insulating metal?!" The frog saw the extraordinaryness of this elevator, and his engineering attainments were unfathomable.

"Insulating metal?" Even Elder Joshua Ben was surprised, she and the camp engineers had studied the elevator and had never found anything out of the ordinary. Because the material of this elevator is just very ordinary steel, not even alloys are used.

"Yes, insulating metal." The frog nodded firmly: "Extreme superconducting materials will be transformed into insulating metals." From non-destructive conduction to non-conduction. ”

"Is it rare?" Chu Ming was also interested in this topic and asked a question.

"Nope." The frog shook his head: "It's just a failed metal craft. The cost is too high, and the practicality is too poor. In terms of insulation and strength, it is not as good as engineering plastics. The processing is very difficult, and the fatigue resistance is poor. There is only one merit - to solve the problem of employment. It takes about 80,000 to 100,000 man-hours to make such an elevator, which means that a skilled engineer will have to work for more than 200 years. According to the level of technology in this galaxy, even if there are auxiliary tools, it can save up to half of the man-hours. ”

The frog walked up to the elevator, touched one of the parts, and then said more affirmatively: "That's right, 80,000 man-hours, these processing techniques are obviously traces of artificiality." The processing of insulating metals requires extreme superconductivity, like roasting meat in an acid fusion reactor, which is slow because of the danger. ”

"No wonder—" Elder Joshua nodded, suddenly realized, "No wonder there is not a lot of equipment in this area, it seems to have something to do with metal." ”

Chu Ming also understood, he recalled the defense systems he saw in the camp, which were numerous and miscellaneous, and they looked very scary. But in fact, because it can't be used, it keeps being shipped, and the more it can't be used, the more you have to continue to make it. This is also the principle of the military's work, the stubbornness of one board and one eye. At the same time, Chu Ming thought of a solution and couldn't help asking:

"Elder Joshua Ben. Can we wait, maybe some synthetic materials can meet this need. ”

"Possibly." Elder Joshua smiled bitterly, and he pointed to the edge of the canyon and said, "Actually, we haven't been here for long, but if you go down to the bottom, you will know that the geological structure here is quite unstable, and if we delay any longer, our expedition will become a hanging." But—"

Elder Joshua felt that his words were intimidating. He hurriedly added: "For the time being, there is not much danger here, and our equipment is carefully selected, which is fully suitable for this expedition." My grandson Nessy has also been down, and he's a good guide. ”

Elder Joshua Ben was concerned about this expedition. Nessy's entourage also gives everyone a sense of security. After some discussion, there were not too many objections. All said they could continue their adventures.

"Hold Chu Chu." When she walked to the elevator in turn, Lily reminded Chu Ming instead, as if she felt something.

"It's okay, is it?! Why don't you feel anything at all? "Chu Ming is a little strange, because he has a little predictive ability, although he is still far from Meggie, he can also be regarded as a man with sharp intuition.

"It's because you don't feel it that you have to be careful." Lily's feelings come from dialectics. She whispered: "I can tell you that almost all of the people here are master-level spiritual powerhouses, and if none of them feel the crisis, it means that there is indeed no crisis." If there is a crisis, it must be a big crisis. Maybe I'm worried, but this canyon reminds me of some old records. ”

"What's the record?" Chu Ming asked, and at the same time, he also hugged Miss Chu Chu. He still has absolute trust in Lily.

"Let's go first, it's not good to say it, maybe it's really me who is worried." Lily didn't answer directly. The elevator waited for no one, and the group boarded up.

There were no accidents with the old elevator. It's just that the speed of travel is amazingly slow, plus the canyon is deep. By the time they reached the bottom, it was noon.

"Attention, everyone, follow Nessy. We didn't get to the bottom, and we had to walk this part of the way. Joshua Ben walked behind the least, and her grandson led the way. The actions of the grandparents and grandchildren also reassured the group a lot.

Sure enough, this is not the bottom of the canyon, and after bypassing a boulder, the front suddenly opens up. When I looked up, it was full of lushness. The canyon in front of you, which is still deep, is like a peach blossom paradise, covered with a lot of vegetation, and there are countless birds hovering in the sky, looking full of life.

"Biosphere." A middle-aged man walking beside Chu Ming pushed his glasses, he was probably a scholar, and he was not shocked but rationally analyzed this scene.

"Mr. Hallbolin." Chu Ming remembered the name of this person, Halbolin was from the second star field, and when he introduced himself, he said that he taught at a university.

"If you're familiar with the Biology Encyclopedia, you shouldn't have such an expression." Seeing the surprise in Chu Ming's eyes, Halbolin said in a lesson-like tone, "Except for the scale, everything else is very common. Theoretically, it is no different from an ornamental fish tank. ”

Halbolin's tone reminded Chu Ming of his middle school teacher, and it seemed that Halbolin was indeed a scholar-type talent. It's the kind of guy who is the head of the road in academics and a mess in life. What he just said is actually very easy to offend people.

Of course, Chu Ming wouldn't be angry with Halbolin, he and Lily looked at each other and smiled, and then asked, "Speaking of scale, can't this scale surprise you?" ”

"Of course not." Mr. Halbolin shook his head solemnly: "Even the size of a planet should not be surprised. ”

"What about the size of a galaxy?" Chu Ming deliberately drilled the tip of the horns, and Mr. Halbolin's serious appearance was very interesting.

"The size of a galaxy—" Chu Ming's question made Halbolin hesitate for a moment, and then he shook his head again categorically: "No, you shouldn't be surprised either. It is nothing but a much larger biosphere, and it is not impossible, or it can also be said to be the biosphere of God, as long as the creator has enough resources. ”

Mr. Halbolin actually gave a serious answer, and raised the question to the level of theology, which made Chu Ming unexpectedly speechless, so he could only smile bitterly with Lily and terminate the topic.

As they spoke, the group had already crossed the boulder, and before the boulder, Nessy stopped, looked at the crowd, and then said in a rather sophisticated tone:

"You can test what you carry with you. If it fails, you can put it here, and someone will come to help us put it away on the next elevator. ”

The group stopped, and Elder Joshua did not limit everyone's belongings, probably also to know what equipment could be used. Sadly, almost everyone was disappointed. Some people also threw away some things and traveled lightly.

"Boss. There's trouble. The frog came over, and behind him was the iron-clad Tutan.

"Neither of them?" The iron sheet was expected by Chu Ming, but Tutan surprised Chu Ming. Tutanco is made of paper, not the hydrogen metal of iron sheets.

"Yes. Short circuit. The frog was succinct, then pointed to himself: "The same goes for turtlenecks." Poor conduction. ”

The frog's words really shocked Chu Ming, even the problem caused by the turtleneck sweater, it was not a small problem. The turtleneck sweater of the Gulagula clan is the most anti-heaven existence in Chu Ming's eyes. No wonder the frogs don't talk nonsense, there must be a problem with the conduction. At this time, Chu Ming, who had always been bold, also hesitated. This unknown threat is not proportional to the possible gains, and it should be wiser to abandon the expedition.

"Go! A must go! At the moment when Chu Ming hesitated. Lily pressed Chu Ming's shoulder, and she said unusually resolutely, "I'll explain it to you, but I have to go." And Chu Chu should also go. ”

Lily's resoluteness dispelled Chu Ming's concerns, he was not a person who looked ahead and backwards.

The return of the frogs, the iron skins, and the Tutan did not attract much attention, and everyone thought that it was nothing more than a substitute for Chu Ming and a paper substitute, which was the same thing as the equipment they had discarded. Even the frog, on the surface, is only an engineering genius and does not help much in the expedition.

"Attention, follow me! Some places are dangerous. ”

Nessy ran to Chu Ming's side. He was very interested in Miss Chu Chu, and it was about that kind of green and good feeling. But Miss Chu Chu didn't care about him at all, and the more this happened, the more persevering Nessy became.

"Brother, hug." Miss Chu Chu's refusal was very direct, and Chu Ming also felt that this matter was a bit funny, and he now knew that Chu Chu was only temporarily small, so Nessie's admiration gave people a sense of absurdity.

"Chu Chu, don't pay attention to him, aliens don't know how to love love." In the overall situation, Lily is definitely on Chu Ming's side. And as she said, their whole family, except for Bambi, are all aliens. This is probably the most exotic family in the entire galaxy.

Chu Chu's reaction disappointed Nessy, and he was still a guide, so he had to run to the front of the line again and guide everyone towards the canyon.

Gradually, the humus layer became thicker and thicker, and towering trees obscured the sky. The warm air is humid, and shrubs, mosses, and a wide variety of herbaceous and epiphytes make it a species paradise.

But this did not shock the group, just as calmly as Mr. Hallbolin. In this galaxy where genetic technology is developed, it is not difficult to create such a biosphere, and the species here are all in the biological encyclopedia, not monsters that appear out of thin air.

"Note that on the right is the territory of the Chang Tooth Fern, it is best not to step on it, the carnivorous plant will be more troublesome."

Nessy is very dedicated, and everyone avoids many dangerous areas along the way. Of course, this danger is also relative, and it is more of a trouble than a danger. Fortunately, everyone didn't want to cause trouble, and they all followed Nessy and slowly went deep into the jungle. And the light is getting dimmer and dimmer.

"Miss Chu Chu, here you go."

In between breaks, Nessy ran over again, and he picked a bouquet of painted powder. This is a plant of the same family as the dandelion, and the crown also has a tuft of fluffy crown hair, and it is luminous. With a slight touch, the crown hair will bounce up several meters like a fountain and then drift away with the wind.

"Take it, it's a happy powder." Mr. Halbolin pushed his glasses beside him: "Blue light paints pink English, which represents joy and good luck, and it is more difficult to cultivate. And it is very easy to degenerate into ordinary painted powder. Ordinary painted pink is a weed. ”

Academic freaks are like that, they don't always speak so well. Even if it's well-intentioned, it sounds stiff and old-fashioned.

"Take it, girl." Chu Ming didn't mind too much, and Miss Chu Chu was also quite curious about this plant.

Nessy left happily, and Lily looked at Painted Fanying and sat next to Chu Ming. There was some kind of apprehension on her face.

"Maybe we shouldn't come in."

Lily said suddenly, her attitude was what shocked Chu Ming. According to Lily's fierce character, it is her principle to make mistakes and not admit mistakes. At this moment, nothing happened, but Lily regretted and hesitated.

"I'm talking maybe." Seeing Chu Ming's surprised eyes, Lily had to explain, "So far. I didn't feel the slightest bit of crisis. Trust you and they are all like that. But the more this happened, the more uneasy I became. ”

"Tell me carefully, I want to know the way." Chu Ming put Miss Chu Chu aside and said cautiously. He believed in feelings, but he believed in Lily even more.

Lily frowned, then said slowly, "For those with strong mental power, intuition is a logical and rigorous theory. It can be trained, inherited, and taught. On intuition training. People with strong mental strength tend to focus on crisis intuition. This is also a logical direction of training. Because safety does not cause harm, there is no need to deliberately perceive it. But my instinct right now is that it's safe, you know what I mean? ”

Lily pointed to the painted pink in Chu Chu's hand. Then he continued: "This is the piece of painted powder on our road, and they are all happy painted powder." This fragile plant feels safe. There is no sign of degradation at all. So, I'm confused about this sense of security. ”

"Can a sense of security affect intuition?" Chu Ming grasped the point of Lily's words.

"Any feeling can influence intuition. It's like a safe environment where people can sleep peacefully. ”

"A safe environment can be created, but is it true that there is a sense of security?" Chu Ming thought quickly, his even used his special ability, and Lily's speculation also confused him. Notice that it is confusion rather than uneasiness. This emotion confused him even more.

"Yes. Yes, you can. Lily nodded affirmatively: "Not only the environment, but also the spiritual power can also create a sense of security, just as joy can be transmitted." And for those with strong mental power, there is only one ultimate energy that is most secure—"

Speaking of this, Lily took a deep breath: "Death, necromancy. ”

"Necromancy?!" This word was not unfamiliar, which made Chu Ming puzzled, and he guessed that the necromancy that Lily was talking about was not the kind of necromancy that ordinary people remembered. Sure enough, Lily continued:

"Necrons are not living beings, but the process by which the soul escapes when a living body dies. The simple explanation is - a soul that is dying. The death of a soul also produces fluctuations in mental power. This is absolutely harmless spiritual energy. Just like a dead person doesn't pose any threat anymore.

However, for those who are mentally strong. Necronomicon is another mystery they want to solve the most. Because it's about faith. ”

Lily actually got into theology, she was certainly not a Catholic, so she had her own explanation:

"Belief in the broad sense is very common. For example, self-confidence, bravery, loyalty, and patriotism are all available. For a beginner spiritual power, the first thing they need to do is to determine their beliefs. This belief will eventually become the core of spiritual power, which is also the core source of the ability of the mentally strong. Therefore, based on the logical beginning and end, necromancy will be the end of faith. ”

Chu Ming finally understood where Lily's hesitation came from, she felt this extreme sense of security, and suspected that it was a dead spirit. However, the extreme sense of security affects the intuition of all people and even plants, so that security may not be security, but contains some kind of great crisis.

After thinking about it for a while, Chu Ming asked Lily a question: "Necromancers are really important to you?" ”

"Yes, it's important to me, it's to Chu Chu, it's important to us as a group. It was also the first time I felt a figurative necromancy, and it was probably my only chance in this life. ”

Lily was pretty sure of what she wanted. She's strong, but not enough. Especially in the battle with Precocious Wisdom, that kind of suppression is a great shame. So she wants to find a way to break through.

"Then don't hesitate." Chu Ming also made a decision, between moving forward and detouring, he generally would not have any other choice. The "Twelve Artifacts" and the "Twelve Craftsmen" were still lurking in the shadows, and he couldn't stop getting stronger.
