Five Frozen Centuries

Wei Huo and his party continued to dive. After passing through the cloud formed by mercury, they suddenly saw a hot red dot below, and at the same time, the surrounding temperature began to rise.

Looking at the red dot, everyone seemed to understand why there are mercury clouds here, and the red dot is clearly a huge active volcano!

Xiao Liang said: "The reason for the sinking of Atlantis is due to water and fire, one is due to rising sea levels, and the other is due to the eruption of a volcano. Now it seems that the rumor is indeed correct."

As they dived continuously, they finally saw the bottom of the sea. The bottom of this sea area is a group of volcanoes. There are more than one crater below, but there are hundreds of craters, and the crater is the center, and some are red. The thin lines flow out, and these should be lava flows.

Looking down from this height, all you can see are huge red dots one after another, and one red curve after another. The red line is dense near the red dot, but the farther away from the red dot, the red line becomes sparse .

Xiao Liang said: "A long time ago, when all the households on the earth were brightly lit, if you look down from space, then the surface of the earth is like this."

This is a scene only seen by Wei Huo and Xiao Liang. Before stopping, every night, every household will turn on the electric lights, and the street lights on the road will also light up. At this time, if you look down from space, you will see countless lights. On the earth, lights are dense in urban areas and scarce in rural areas.

Jin Jia understood, he said: "So it is, is this the kingdom of Atlantis? They live on the seabed, get energy from the magma, and build cities near each crater, near the crater is the town The village far away from the crater is the lava flow that they developed."

At the moment, Wei Huo and his party are still 10,000 meters away from the sea. They still need to continue to dive. At their feet is an active volcano group. There is a large city around each crater. They don’t know Atlantis yet. Where is the main city, so you can only find a city to fall.

Wei Huo said: "According to Xiao Liang's situation, the Atlanteans are no different from us. We can first fall into a village, first understand the situation, and then at least understand how they communicate. ."

Everyone nodded. In this deep sea, the bottom shell is no different from land, and people cannot speak underwater. At the same time, because there is magma everywhere, the seabed is certainly full of various water vapor and bubbles. In such an environment, the human eye should see nothing.

But when a group of people fell into a village a few tens of kilometers below the active crater, they suddenly discovered that the real situation was a bit different from their own opinions.

Wei Huo and his party looked for a red line at the edge. As the height decreased, the temperature continued to rise. At the same time, the more mercury vapor was, the temperature exceeded 100 degrees, and the water was filled with water vapor and bubbles. The naked eye can no longer see anything.

The group of people closed their eyes and looked at things with their minds. However, when they fell below one thousand meters, the situation suddenly changed, the water vapor disappeared, and air appeared here, as if a giant air bubble had magma The world around me is the same.

Everyone opened their eyes, and then they saw a plant growing around the magma stream, and the group of people fell down, and fell beside a thin magma stream.

This research stream is crimson, shining with red light, and tumbling and flowing downstream. The two sides of the river are hard magmatic rocks. This kind of rock can withstand high temperatures and is formed by squeezing after the magma cools. But around the river, there are countless weird plants, these plants rooted here, seem to survive by absorbing the heat of magma.

Wei Huo and his party carefully observed these trees. The trees were black and without leaves. Although they looked like a tree, they were more like stone trees built of stones, but everyone’s senses were very sensitive. Feel the breath of these trees, and breathe the oxygen that the trees spit out.

"That's right," Jin Jia said. "Any ecosystem can't be separated from producers and consumers. Unless the organisms of this population can be produced and sold by themselves, this population can't be found where there are no plants. Survive for a long time."

Xiao Liang took out a set of scientific instruments and found a thick stone tree to start testing. He was an explorer and a scientist. He traveled all his life to satisfy his curiosity, so he discovered a new unknown species at this moment. Of course he is going to do some research.

Jin Jia is also very interested in this. He also understands the charm of science. Science is a means to explore the unknown~www.readwn.com~ Every time a scientific means is used to discover something unknown, it will give him a great sense of accomplishment.

Of course, Wei Huo's curiosity is not inferior to them. They are all like figuring out what the stone tree is all about, what about the country of Atlantis?

A group of people scanned with Shennian, tested with scientific instruments, and experimented. After a long time, they finally figured out what the stone tree was all about.

Xiao Liang said: "There are no leaves or photosynthesis. The root system directly absorbs the heat of magma. After obtaining the heat, it converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen."

Jin Jia raised his head and looked to the sky: "The density of air is less than that of water and water vapor. It stands to reason that it should continue to rise and cover all the spaces inside the protective cover. How did this bubble that enveloped us form?"

They measured for a long time, and they didn’t find out how this violation of common sense was formed, but they didn’t say that they got nothing. They all cut this stone tree. After research, they found that this stone tree can be absorbed through the root system. , And then transmitted through the inner duct, because the magma contains various minerals, so the surface of the tree will also form a variety of stone crystals.

The use value of this kind of tree is very large. If it is planted in a mineral-dense area, it can absorb various minerals into the body, and then produce crystals, so as to produce metal fruits such as golden apples and silver bananas. It is not uncommon to come, as long as it is provided with sufficient energy.

Jin Jia said: "This is the mining tree! The charm of science is to make something that seems useless useful, and in the future, you can use this tree to transform the planet to produce oxygen. In interstellar travel, this tree's The value is too great!"

Xiao Liang also collected many seeds of this tree because of this plan. He is also a person eager for interstellar travel.
