Chapter 39. We don't really know the Earth

I held hands with Little Colorful and Shadow, and just opened my eyes again. The first thing I felt was that the three of us walked into a huge steamer in an instant!

It felt even hotter than the hottest dog days when summer came!

Suffocating, stuffy. Wheezing, sweaty!

It's no exaggeration to say that it wasn't more than two seconds after we entered that space, and the sweat on my back was "smack", and it immediately soaked the clothes on my back!

When a person's sweat flows to a certain extent, he can smell a characteristic smell of sweat! When I spend the summer at home, I rarely smell my sweat, but after a short time here, I immediately smelled it!

At the same time, I felt like my chest was suffocating, as if someone had pressed it down with a huge stone that I couldn't breathe well! It was a terrible feeling.

But next. What makes the three of us feel even more uncomfortable is ......

Everything I saw seemed to be distorted, and everywhere under my feet, on my head, and beside my body, there was a red and fiery scene. Although I didn't see an open flame burning, the feeling of walking into the fire was very palpable!

So at that time, as soon as I came in, the three of us kept alternating between our left and right hands, constantly wiping sweat, and I glanced at it, as if even the faces of the little colorful and shadow. All are a little deformed. I know it's because the temperature is too high, the pressure is too high, and the vision is distorted.

After a long time, after we had some adaptation to the environment here, Xiao Qicai gasped violently. "What the hell is this place? Why is it so hot? It feels like it's going to be over forty degrees! ”

The shadow didn't speak, just kept fanning her face with her hands, but it seemed that she was also very uncomfortable at the moment.

I couldn't help but kindly remind her, "If it's really hot, take off your mask!" ”

The shadows didn't even look at me, but they didn't hear me.

Xiao Qicai wondered at this time, "Something is wrong." ”

I said. "How?"

Xiao Qicai said, "We seem to have entered a vacuum space just now, but it seems that the place we are in now is different from the space just now. Although it was very stuffy here, there was clearly air flow. And the air pressure was very high, so we had a bit of a hard time catching our breath. ”

I said, "Since you're here, let's see the situation first." ”

……

Next, the three of us walked slowly forward, constantly surveying our surroundings.

First of all, we found that the place where we were standing at this moment was a very empty square, this space should be about seven or eight meters high, and the top of our heads was full of rocks and other things, because the distance was a bit far, so we couldn't see clearly. But we could tell that we should be in a huge cave at this time.

Every few steps, we can see some stones sporadically, these stones we can't tell what they are made of, but the color is a little black, maybe it contains iron, nickel, or some other elements, in short, we are not like Yu Mubai, we have a deep study of chemistry, so we see these rocks, we can't tell what they are made of.

But Xiao Qicai still bent down to pick up a rock and looked at it carefully. We found that there is a halo on the rock similar to ripples, circle by circle, and when we touch the surface of the stone with our hands, the temperature is very high, although it is not hot to the hand, but we can't put our hands on it for a long time.

After continuing to look carefully for a while, we found that the surface of the stone was uneven, and it seemed to be a layer-by-layer structure, which was very peculiar, and we didn't know how it was formed. Wood begging for blood.

After Little Colorful threw the stone away, we continued to walk forward.

It didn't take long for us to discover another spectacle.

A black, cylindrical exaggerated object, standing high in the air, looked like a giant Dinghai Divine Needle, with the top of the cave attached to the ground below. At his feet, a narrow crack appeared every few meters around him, and there was a faint fiery red luster like a ruby, as if there were many treasures hidden under the ground.

At first, we thought that this black cylinder was also composed of stones, but when we got closer, we suddenly found that the cylinder was an entity inside, and it was covered with a layer of soft slimy liquid-like things.

The shadow and I have a sense of the fearlessness of the ignorant. But I knew that Little Colorful must have found something, so I stopped, looked at the black pillar, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

At this time, Xiao Qicai's face sweated more, I had never seen Xiao Qicai sweat so much, and I didn't even think about it. That picture instantly reminded me of the Tao family in the time of "Tianchi Night Tales". However, compared with the little colorful in front of them at that time, the Tao family at that time didn't seem to be as good as the little colorful in terms of sweating.

Xiao Qicai obviously thought of this problem as well. So she said, "The body temperature of the Tao family is because there are too many active enzymes in the body, and there is a reaction, so there is so much sweating, which is considered an internal cause." However, the environment we are in now, due to the relationship between temperature and high pressure, will feel so uncomfortable, leaving so much sweat, relatively speaking, we are considered an external cause. ”

Shadow couldn't help but ask, "Even if that's the case, what does it matter?" ”

Xiao Qicai turned around and said, "Didn't you notice that the place we are in now is very strange?" The black pillar, in particular, has a feeling of transition from a liquid, solid-like transformation! ”

I said, "That's true." So what? ”

Xiao Qicai kept wiping her sweat and gasped violently, "I once followed the geological surveyors in the United States and went down to a depth of more than 2,000 meters underground. At that time, we found a lot of ancient creatures and a small number of species that have not yet been named by humans. I was very young at the time, and I was only responsible for helping them keep track of the mysterious species they found with the computer I carried with me. However, I think the situation was very similar to today's, in that it was a high-temperature, high-pressure environment, and in this environment, the concept of "solid" or "liquid" is no longer applicable. This is because the material in the earth's core has both the "rigidity" of steel and the "flexibility" (plasticity) of ash and asphalt. This substance is not only more than ten times harder than steel, but also slowly deforms without breaking. So...... That black cylinder, I think it's this very special substance, because you can't see it anywhere else! ”

I said, "So where we are now, is it the center of the earth?" ”

Xiao Qicai shook her head and said, "I don't know, but on the earth, there are no human beings who can reach the center of the earth. Because as we all know, the earth is composed of three parts: the crust, the mantle, and the core, but this understanding should be said to be very superficial. Because according to the current state of science and technology, human drilling is only 35 kilometers deep, and the deepest exploration well (in the Colis Peninsula) is only 12 kilometers. The radius of the earth is 6,300 kilometers, and when we compare these numbers, we will find that the earth we touch is actually like the peel of an apple cut with a knife, limited to a thin layer. So what's further underground? What is inside the Earth, and even at the center? This is a mystery that has puzzled people for thousands of years. ”

Shadow and I were dumbfounded.

If Xiao Qicai went down to the ground more than 2,000 meters at that time, he could find a lot of magical species and ancient creatures (whether this creature is a microorganism or an animal) In short, does this mean another meaning is that human beings have only a superficial understanding of the earth they live on, and it is very shallow.

To take the simplest example, we think we know our body structure very well.

But......

What is hair used for?

How exactly are brain waves formed?

What exactly is the soul made of?

……

Many, many questions, and no answers.

What if there are even more shocking creatures hidden in the earth, that is, in the center of the earth, even more advanced than humans? What if the lifespan and survival of such creatures are beyond human comprehension based on their current knowledge? What would happen?

When I think of this, I feel that the mysteries of the earth are too deep and too incomprehensible. Human science and technology have developed for thousands of years, but we still know nothing about the interior of the earth.

Suppose that there are really some creatures in the center of the earth, who are more advanced than humans, and can even observe every move of humans, will they hide in the shadows and secretly laugh at the self-righteousness and ignorance of humans?

Actually, if you think about it, it's not impossible.

And the earthlings have not even studied the earth where they are, and have begun to think about developing towards the moon and other planets, and even want to capture "living" aliens and alien creatures, is this a very ridiculous and ironic thing?

Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the many bizarre disappearances on the earth, sometimes people are missing, and sometimes things are missing.

For example, the very famous and well-known Bermuda Delta, where there are many missing ships, planes, species and, of course, humans.

What if all these things were done because there really were more advanced beings in the center of the earth? It may be easy for them, but for humans, it has become an incredible unsolved mystery, and this feeling instantly terrified me, Little Colorful and Shadow. But at the same time, I am also a little curious, if there are humans in the center of the earth who can really enter it, and there are really creatures, what will happen to us next?

As we pondered, we continued to move on a long distance.

At this time, the terrain has changed completely. The cracks under our feet are getting denser and longer, winding like snakes, and the distance between the cracks is increasing, as if there are countless torches hidden inside, constantly grilling the soles of our feet!

And just then, we saw a huge red pool appear right in front of us! Directly in front of the middle of the pool, there are countless crystal-like objects floating in front of you! There's also a gooey mass on the outside.

Yes, that's right, these things are incredibly suspended without any external force! Like liquids, but also like solids.

The previous description of the red "pool" is actually not correct, because the red "water" in it also looks slimy, not only flowing very, very slowly, but also looks crystal clear, like amber and crystal!

And in this huge "pool" with a range of thousands of kilometers.

We saw a stunning image that we will never forget!
