Chapter 92: Bottlenecks and Thunder
'Boom! ’
The roaring sound of shelling still echoed above the rift valley of the Dinosaur Continent, and while Lin was observing the jungle creatures, the Styx cannon did not stop for a moment, and it had been shooting the speed of the bomb all the time, and Lin had tried the streamlined bomb, the round bomb, the spiral, the square, and the strange shape.
There are many ways to fire explosives, usually the pressure hammer and explosives are the fastest, but no matter how hard she tries, Lynn feels as if she has reached a 'bottleneck'.
Anyway, this word is really weird, why is the bottle and neck associated with the meaning of reaching the top? What is a bottle?
No matter how much it is, it's hard to increase speed now, maybe you need to find a new way to burst, like a new explosive? A new approach to propulsion? Or maybe there is a place in the world where there is no 'obstacle' in the sky and you can go directly to the starry sky?
Of course, Lynn thinks that it is not enough to just break through the obstacles, what kind of place will you reach after rushing out? At least it's necessary to rush out and stay alive.
There are many aspects to consider...... Lin also needs to really settle down here, as Lynn's forces have been staying near the Rift Valley, and now Lin intends to build a huge base under the jungle of this continent.
Assemble a complex underground network of passages that will spread across the continent!
Why stay underground? After Lynn fought the plague fungus, she found that it was not a good thing to be exposed to a place outside without any obstacles, and it was easy to be spotted by an opponent or something, if there was an opponent on this continent......
In addition, it is important not to conflict with the living space of other creatures. If you want to watch Tucker they develop. The underground is a good choice. In addition, the space is almost limitless, and it is convenient to study everything on the ground, and the compression-resistant structure is strong enough to not be afraid of dangers such as earthquakes.
Actually, it's okay in the air, but if you do it too big, there will be a lot of shadows, which is more troublesome, but Lin will still get some bases in the air, just like the floating islands in the North Continent.
Now that she had thought of it, let's start working on it, and Lynn began to build a base at the edge of the Rift. These bases produce a variety of drill troops, in fact, there are three, one is the 'sapper' for digging, the other is the 'shell painter', which secretes complex structures such as chitinous and spider silk to make a mixed hardened structure to stabilize the underground passages, and the third is the 'tunnel worm', like a miniature version of the Pioneer, which can be mass-produced and responsible for dealing with any hostile creatures that may appear underground.
Lynn had wanted the Trailblazers to dig in. However, the underground structure here is still unclear, so it is better to let the small class dig it. Digging too large can cause events such as collapses.
On the rift valley, where there was a roar from time to time, transporters from the distant fungal islands had arrived, and they had put a large amount of nutrients obtained there into the base, and Lynn would now stuff a large amount of nutrients into the fat cells and compress them, and then wrap them in a membrane to isolate the air, and the fungi inside would also be dried up, so that the nutrients would never rot.
Because of the war on the Fungus Island, Lin can directly produce a large number of troops, and the 'spoils' obtained from the war with the plague fungus are really quite a lot, and Lin can even get nutrients in other ways for a long time.
On most of the islands in the sea, Lynn wants to build similar underground bases, but first build the mainland ones.
Beneath the base at the edge of the rift, groups of sappers are slowly shaped out and then begin to dig.
Want to build a base under a continent? It's a huge job, and Lynn can also witness the growth of the continent and its creatures in the process.
But now Lynn is not digging into the continent first, but digging out, beyond the rift valley there is a land that was once swept by plague fungi, this place is now barren, Lynn will shape the base below, and will also revive the continent, many of the plants that Lynn began to grow along the coast have grown.
At the same time, this huge rift, Lynn is trying to make it look like the underground world of the Inca swarm......
As she shapes the base, Lynn will continue to explore.
The environment in front of the pom-pom ...... Still damp and dark, the jungle seemed endless, and a small group of dinosaurs ran in front of the pom-pom and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
The jungle here is very different from before, there are no dead leaves on the ground, but it is covered with wet moss, which Lynn calls 'dark moss', and they seem to grow in very dark jungles.
Occasionally, there were potholes in the jungle that filled up salamanders that Lynn was familiar with, and pompoms reached out and grabbed one of the salamanders and swallowed it to break it down.
It's just that the things I did before consumed too many nutrients, and the pom-pom needs food, not that there is anything special about this salamander.
It's really nothing special, except that it's poisonous on the skin.
Lin looked at the dense jungle and replenished the nutrients, the pom-pom released a large number of eyeballs, and Lin felt that she needed to speed up the exploration, but the main task of the eyeballs was to record the creatures, and the pom-pom continued to move forward......
Explore, there's a lot to explore......
Speaking of which, the creatures here are really quite strange, and their species are much richer than those of the Northern Continent, as if they had a million years more time to evolve.
Something special must have happened on this continent, which is one of the reasons why Lin dug underground, and there are always many ancient things recorded underground.
However, among the countless species, Lin only found a few creatures with high intelligence, such as the Skeleton Dragon, the White Skeleton Dragon, and the Jungle Gnome, which can use things and make weapons.
The meat cutting ant is the only division of labor species that Lin has found high intelligence on this continent at present, but because the body size is too small, it does not occupy the active position, and there are other division of labor species in addition to the meat cutting ant, but the intelligence is not high.
Most of the intelligent species here have individual personalities, and they are very different creatures from the division of labor species, they like to piece together all kinds of things, in fact, the division of labor species also like to piece together things, but they do it with cells.
The scattered eyeballs slowly recorded what they saw in this jungle, and every plant, every animal, the form and living habits of these creatures would be recorded.
Pom-poms, on the other hand, are mainly looking for creatures with high intelligence, and they are now following a group of speeding dragons through the jungle.
Athlon also had a high intelligence, but they never used anything and hunted entirely with fangs and claws, but now they don't run for hunting, but for ...... Hunted and run.
'Whoosh! ’
There was the sound of spikes slicing through the air in the air, and several long spikes pierced the ground, but none of them hit, and the Velocids sped away into the denser jungle, where the attacking creatures seemed to give up their pursuit and fly away.
The pom-pom looked at the sky and flew up quickly.
The sky above the jungle was surrounded by dark clouds, and in the dim light, the pompom could see some flying creatures with a wingspan of about five meters flying in the air.
Pom-pom immediately followed, ready to observe and record the new creature.
Don't know what they'll look like? What lifestyle will it be?
These flying creatures look a lot like pterosaurs, but their mouths are rounder than pointed, and they fly fast, and the sky is already raining a lot, but it doesn't affect them much.
'Boom-'
Lightning flashed through the air, instantly lighting up the entire jungle.
…… Lightning?
The pom-pom stopped suddenly, and looking at the thunder and dark clouds surging in the sky, Lin seemed to remember something...... In the northern continent, when the Inca swarm is leaving......
By the way, it seemed that they wanted to use lightning to bounce to the moon, but in the end they didn't succeed, and they left the northern continent.
Is this really possible? Speaking of which, Lynn hasn't used electricity in a long time...... It can't be said that it hasn't been used, but the main Lin is used on the hallucinogenic people, brain readers, which are brain-related troops, they can be used to read memories and other things, and they can also be connected to biological nerves to control their behavior.
However, if it is true that it is not used for attacks or other purposes, I remember that the Inca swarm found some rocks that were said to be ejectable...... Lynn had also found some electrifying stones, which had been used against the Plague Head last time.
Maybe there is some secret to these stones? Lin rarely pays attention to them, and it seems that she has to dig up some to study them, but does electricity really have the function of catapulting? It would be nice if there were, it just so happened that Lynn was already having a hard time speeding up the bomb.
At this time, Lin suddenly found that the flying creatures no longer knew where they had flown to, and all that could be seen around them was a hazy fog and rain.
Such a large flying creature disappeared in one fell swoop...... But that place is suspicious.
In the haze, Lynn saw a huge black shadow standing in the jungle, and the pom-pom flew in the direction of the black shadow.
The shadow grew stronger and heavier in the heavy rain, and a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky again, and Lynn saw the true face of the shadow in the flash......
It's a ...... Rock Mountain?
The rocky mountain is about fifty meters high, which seems to be relatively low for a mountain, but this mountain looks strange, it looks like a large pile of large rocks piled together, and there are strange notches on this stone.
It looks like a pile of living things, and there are all kinds of small plants growing among the stones, and it seems that this pile has been piled up for a long time.
But before Lynn could see the large flying creatures, the pom-pom flew around the rocky mountain and found something very strange, like a stone pillar erected......
'Boom! Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the pillar! (To be continued......)
