Chapter 437: A First Exploration of the Ruins 2
"This is the entrance to the underground ruins?" Zhang Hao pointed to the sinkhole about thirty meters in diameter, a little incredulous. I thought this entrance would be magnificent, or luxurious. Actually brought me a sinkhole with natural colors and true colors?
In other words, you should decorate it, you occupy this place for a long time, every day in front of such a deep pit, do you look comfortable?
Yu Yangzi said with a smile: "It's just an entrance, cultivators don't have to be so particular." Let's go, our gang's station is divided into two parts, and you see it outside. There's one more in there, and that one is the main one. ”
This 'sinkhole' is very deep, Zhang Hao roughly estimated, no less than 100 meters deep, but the bottom of such a deep pit is shining brightly. Below, it's not dark, it's a bright world.
Slowly flying to the bottom of the pit, Zhang Hao's heart suddenly moved...... The aura here is very active, but this activity lacks a kind of 'naturalness'. This kind of aura is very similar to the cultivation room built by the Dayang Group, the kind of aura that is steamed at high temperature and high pressure! It's just that it's a lot thinner.
Zhang Hao looked at Chen Yansong next to him, and Chen Yansong slowly nodded to Zhang Hao. However, Chen Yansong said: "There are some similarities, but there are slight differences. But it's certain that at least some of the aura here isn't naturally formed!"
Zhang Hao knows in his heart, it seems that there may really be some good things in this ruin-Zhang Hao's so-called good things are not magic weapons, but technology. For Zhang Hao, magic weapons are just one item, and only technology can copy more items.
The product is priceless, the technology is priceless!
However, Zhang Hao is more concerned about: what is here, what kind of secrets and past does this relic have, and what is the past of this world of cultivation?
Entering the bottom of the sinkhole, the first thing you can see is a mottled "wall" on the north side, the wall is very old, the wall that can be seen at the bottom of the pit has a height of more than 20 meters, a width of more than ten meters, and the central bottom position, there is a hideous irregular gap of about three meters, and the gap as a whole presents a 'semicircle'.
The reason why it is semicircular is because part of it is buried in the ground.
Zhang Hao was curious, and after making sure that there was no danger, he stepped forward to check. First of all, of course, is the 'wall' of the ruins. Zhang Hao knocked for a long time, but found that this wall turned out to be an unknown metal!
However, this metal seems to be so badly corroded that it is the same color as the surrounding rocks, but even so, this metal seems to be indestructible, Zhang Hao is now a little master in the late stage of Jindan, and he still has a Lingbao-level flying sword made of top-notch steel and Taibai Essence Gold, but even so, he can only barely rub off a little bit of rust.
"Don't waste your efforts!" Yuyangzi smiled helplessly, "We have also studied for a long time, but we can't do anything. Even if it is the peak of the gods, there is nothing that can be done. Otherwise, these walls would have been torn down a long time ago, and how could they be left here for you to see. ”
Zhang Hao frowned slightly: "You say, this is the Immortal Palace?"
Yuyangzi nodded and shook his head: "It's just a possibility." So far, we have not been able to explore the entire ruins, nor have we found any written records. I can only be sure that this is not simple.
Some people say that this is the Temple of the Immortal Palace, some say that this is a fragment of the Immortal Realm, and some say that this may be the enchantment of another world. In short, it goes on and on. ”
Zhang Hao explored deep into the soil again, this semi-circular gap, there is more than a meter below the soil, on the whole, this is a circular hole of about three meters, but the edge of the gap is very hideous, like a bullet hole in the glass: the whole is round, but the edge is extremely hideous.
"Let's go. Yuyangzi took the lead and walked inside.
Zhang Hao and the others bowed their heads slightly and entered the ruins.
Stepping into the ruins, Zhang Hao suddenly opened his mouth in surprise. Here, it turned out to be ...... A world of its own!
The breeze was gentle, warm and humid, and the sky was blue and white, but there was no sun, and the sky cast a bright light. On the earth, the grass is green, the streams are murmuring, there are birds singing and insects singing everywhere, and the birds are singing and fragrant in early summer.
About a hundred miles or so, there is a settlement. Compared to the settlements on the ground, the settlements here are really a little prosperous.
Zhang Hao realized that no wonder everyone was reluctant to go to the ground. Compared to the bitter cold ground, this place is simply a real fairy world. However, although this place is fertile, it is obvious that cultivators will not farm here.
"Shocked, right?" Yu Yangzi began to explain, "This small world that our gap corresponds to, or should it be called the 'secret realm'.
We have here named 'Changchun Realm'. This is the place where practitioners enter the ruins for the first time, and it is called the 'Changchun Realm' because of the four seasons of Changchun. In fact, with the increase in exploration in the future, we found that there are many, many such small worlds.
The Changchun realm, explored from the inside, is about 300 li in range, and the edge is like a room, with edges and corners, and the whole presents a 3:2 rectangle.
According to our exploration, every 'boundary' here is about 300 miles in circumference. But here's the peculiar thing: the world inside seems to be extraordinarily large!"
"At present, we Terrans occupy a total of five entrances, from west to east:
The third is the Evergreen Gang, our Snow Fox Gang, the second is the Longquan Gang, the fourth is the Jinghong Gang and the fifth is the Feijiao Gang.
The distances between each other are: 180 miles, 120 miles, 280 miles, and 200 miles.
But inside the ruins, between the Evergreen Gang and us, there are three 'realms', namely: the Evergreen Realm, the Qingshan Realm, and the Changchun Realm.
The Evergreen Gang is stationed in the center of the Evergreen Realm, and we are stationed in the center of the Evergreen Realm, plus the Qingshan Realm in the middle, the distance between us inside is 600 li, but the distance on the outside is 180 li. ”
Zhang Hao suddenly understood: "This is a super storage space?"
"It can be understood this way. But it's obviously a lot smarter than storage. Therefore, some people think that this is a part of the fairy world, or that this is the fairy mansion, the heavenly palace, and so on. ”
Zhang Hao asked again: "So, are the five entrances all distributed in a straight line?"
"No, we linked five entrances and found that they formed an arc. According to the current arc calculation, if Asgard is circular, its outer diameter is at least 2,500 miles in diameter. ”
Zhang Hao's eyes contracted, three thousand miles in diameter, considering that the units of measurement in different places are different, how can there be a diameter of 1,200 kilometers.
With such a huge diameter, is it really Asgard? There seems to be no other explanation than this.
Yu Yangzi continued to explain while taking Zhang Hao and the others forward:
"We only occupy five ruin entrances, and most of the rest are in the hands of the demon clan, especially since we deduce that some of the ruins are even below the surface of the sea, and there should be more entrances there. However, at present, the five entrances are already very difficult. The demon clan also attacked from time to time.
We hunt the demon clan, and the demon clan also hunts us, this situation is very common on Liuli Island. ”
"Oh, by the way, there's more to the 'realm' than just one layer here. There are many layers under my feet. On this side of the Changchun Realm, we explored as many as 8 floors under our feet!"
An idea in Zhang Hao's heart almost came to mind. He continued to ask: "Every realm is similar, is it boxy?"
"yes, it's like a room. Also, do you see the sky here? Actually, there must be some kind of illusion on it. We've explored the top, and it's a metal dome like the one outside the ruins. The height here is only a dozen miles."
Zhang Hao asked again: "The entrance to the ruins is obviously destroyed. Is there any weapon or fragment that can be found to destroy the gap?"
"Not really. Who knows how many years it has been, and it may have been taken away by the original invaders. ”
"Is there a real gate to the ruins?"
"Nope. The area we are exploring now is less than a tenth of the entire ruins. ”
Zhang Hao took a deep breath: "So, have you encountered some weird puppets or something?" These golems may have different shapes, such as some humanoids, some beast shapes, a combination of humanoid beasts, some with many arms, etc., which look very weird. ”
"Hey, how do you know!" Yu Yangzi looked at Zhang Hao in surprise, "We haven't made these things public, and we have put them away by ourselves when we encounter such a puppet." ”
Zhang Hao looked up at the "sky" speechlessly, and an army of alpacas roared past in his heart.
If...... If Young Master Ben expected it to be true, this special is not an immortal mansion at all, this special thing is...... A spaceship! The hole in the gap is simply made by a weapon! For example, a rail cannon or something.
In fact, after getting acquainted with Zhao Dahe, Zhang Hao had some doubts about this world of cultivation: The history of this world may not be short, but the civilization of cultivation seems to have started suddenly! There is no gradual process.
In another world, the development of civilization has come step by step, from primitive tribes, to knotted rope records, to basic calligraphy and painting symbols, and slowly evolved into writing.
But the civilization inheritance here is different, according to Zhang Hao's secret analysis and statistics, the practitioners here are often 'ancient methods', and now many excellent cultivation exercises are inherited and developed from the ancient times little by little, and the original exercises seem to appear out of thin air.
It seems that the practice here suddenly began in some ancient era.
Cultivation is nothing else, it is more complex than you can imagine, and if you start from scratch and accumulate little by little, it will be a long process, and there must be a basic exploration of the natural world. But all of this is not found in this world of practice.
Zhang Hao didn't speak for a long time, just moved forward silently. After finally coming to the settlement, Zhang Hao asked for a lot of materials to start researching, saying that he wanted to make a detailed understanding for the next exploration. A lot of the information here is not available to the public.
There is no rotation of day and night, only an eternal, unchanging light. About five or six hours later, another exploration of the Snow Fox began. Zhang Hao and others also began to get busy.
