Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 272 Gifts from the Primitive Era

When the exploration team's drill lost its support and fell, some people realized that there was probably an empty gun below, and at least there would be no other ice surface that had been saved. In fact, some people had anticipated this before drilling to this location.

It's the same ice, but different ices have different temperatures. Although the thermometers of people in this world are not made of water and do not use the boiling and solidification of water as the temperature scale, they have also made their own temperature measurement equipment. It is possible to measure the temperature of the ice here.

It can be seen that the further down you go, the higher the temperature of the ice becomes. Although this ice will not hurt people, the initial drill bit is already red hot at this location. In other words, it must be replaced with a high-temperature resistant drill bit that can be used in water before it can continue downward in this environment.

This shows that the ice here is close to melting, which is extremely hot for this world.

In this environment, it is basically certain that there is a high-temperature pedicle under the ice, either water or something else.

The fact was similar to what they had guessed. The drill bit fell down and was pulled up again by the rope they pulled from behind.

But this time, what they saw was the endless water under the ice. The end of the water here was almost invisible, and it was pitch black below. If they looked up, they could only see extremely dim sunlight, and the ice was hundreds of meters thick. The ice blocks most sunlight. Well, there are almost no living things in the ice of this world. The ice above is something quite transparent. Therefore, the light can still penetrate and shine below the ice surface. As for

The members who can participate in this exploration team are definitely not lacking in courage. Some people have already put on diving suits and are exploring downwards with ropes hanging on their bodies. Although the deep, dark abyss-like scene below is really scary. But it cannot hinder human curiosity or prevent humans from continuing to explore downwards.

The wetsuits in this world are made of materials that will not melt in the water. Ordinary materials cannot withstand such high temperatures. When a person is wrapped in the water, even these high-temperature-resistant metals are heated to Extremely high temperatures will not burn people.

In addition to metal oxygen tanks and other things, diving bottles also need masks for breathing. They are all made from biomass, such as animal fur and the like.

After all, underwater activities still require some soft materials to cover the mouth and nose and allow breathing.

If it were all made of steel, it would be difficult to make the material just right to fit the shape of the human face. In this way, the diving suits were put on the explorers and they dived into the deep water.

It's a pity that although they had the courage to dive, the equipment they brought this time was really not enough. Although you have dived into deep water, the water pressure that the human body can withstand is limited. When you dive to thirty or forty meters, you can basically no longer bear it and have to return. This distance is still too far from the bottom of the water. Too far away.

Previous attempts were made with long ropes hanging stones. It was discovered that the water depth here was more than 100 meters, and after reaching that level, the rope was no longer long enough. After connecting sections of rope, it reached 800 meters. The true depth of the water pool was not explored, and some people even couldn't help but I wonder if this pool is infinitely deep and can fall all the way down, and then the pressure below becomes more and more intense, eventually compressing a person into a point.

Of course, these are just conjectures, and the real situation must be quite different from what they imagined.

Although the members of the exploration team had courage, it did not mean that they wanted to die underwater. After realizing that they could not continue downward, they decisively chose to pull the rope and let the people above pull them back up. After returning to the ice, everyone began to think, should they continue to explore forward, or should they return to where they were and call more people over to explore this water source?

This place is too precious for humans, with almost endless liquid water. There is simply no environment more suitable for human survival than here.

They even came up with an idea after living in underground caves all year round. That is to open a passage in the underground cave and connect it to the bottom of this mirror-like ocean. Then water is continuously transported through this tunnel.

These are liquid waters, which are undoubtedly of great help to humans.

However, the seawater in the world's oceans is not fresh water. Although the salt content is lower than the seawater on the earth, it is definitely not suitable for drinking directly. However, this salt content makes people soak in the water. The inside is just right. If it is water with no salt at all, people's skin will absorb water if soaked in it for a long time, which will cause considerable trouble to people's physiological health. If it is seawater with a certain amount of salt, if the amount of salt is just right, On the contrary, it can be soaked in water for a longer time without suffering physiological damage.

But no matter what, being able to access this world's extremely large and almost endless water source reservoir is undoubtedly a huge help to this world.

The exploration team returned quickly. He reported the news he discovered to the underground humans today. Although this distance is quite long, if the underground humans want to continue to develop in this direction, they can also expand their power here. There has been no development in this direction before because the other underground humans living here are quite primitive types. Most of the underground humans accepted by today's underground human kingdom have already developed languages, and their languages ​​are not very different from each other.

Therefore, it is basically very easy for these beings to merge. But if it's a completely new tribe, if it's one that doesn't even have language or writing, then they can be assimilated. Labor is also unavailable in a short period of time. In today's industrial age, even if these people work hard to enter the factory, the final result may be to cause chaos in the factory, making it impossible for the factory that was originally operating normally to continue to operate.

Taking into account these possibilities, these relatively primitive humans have never received fairy tales. At most, they would provide supplies to a certain extent during the expedition, and give some information about the civilized world to those who have not yet arrived in the caves. Enlightened person.

Let them develop slowly first, and only after they learn the language can they become valuable labor force sent to the factory. But now underground humans realize that these people must be in their own hands, and the caves where these people live must also be connected to the main structure. Because they may have to face it next. It is the greatest opportunity facing mankind in this world, an ocean with almost endless water resources. Everyone can choose to soak in such water to rest and live in such water all the time. And a set of equipment related to survival in this kind of water environment must be manufactured as soon as possible.

After getting the new copy of the environment, the humans in this world quickly started to get busy. They not only made diving equipment and submarines with excellent sealing, but also began to try to make things that could allow people to swim underwater. The presence of continued breathing.

Carrying an oxygen bottle into the water means that the time you can move underwater is too short. Things like oxygen bottles are actually very heavy. It is not very convenient to carry around. If you survive underwater for a long time, you will need additional power to keep it suspended. Otherwise, you are likely to fall into deep water. Humans in this world already have a certain understanding of the characteristics of water. Understand that if you cannot float up in deep water within a short period of time, you may suffer huge injuries due to water pressure.

And the huge ice layer above actually adds extra pressure to the water to a certain extent. It's because the ice is not completely sealed and there are various caves, which causes underwater pressure. Not particularly exaggerated.

When the cave was first dug, a large amount of water sprayed upwards. That is, the underwater environment was relatively more high-pressure than the atmosphere, so that the water below sprayed upwards. However, the water sprayed upward probably only went up four or five meters. It stopped, which means that the surface of the ice water is roughly equivalent to the pressure of four or five meters underwater. For ordinary people, there is a certain amount of pressure, but it is not completely impossible to conform to the shape. .

For cave humans, this underwater area is a vast plain-like existence that allows humans to survive. Some extremely large industrial bases can be fully developed here. If the problem of surviving underwater without oxygen can be overcome, this place can even become extremely suitable for human survival. It is suitable for large-scale industrial development.

Nowadays, human beings are in the transition between the tribal capital-making system. The residual influence of the tribal system has caused a certain degree of communism among the tribes, which blocks the development of capital to a certain extent, but it also realizes the centralized society. The effect of using strength to accomplish great things.

This gives decision-makers the full strength to make some bold decisions about the future. Even if these decisions are likely to affect the interests of everyone now, an entire generation will not be able to see the benefits that the relevant decisions may bring. But it is still possible to implement it firmly.

Heading to the seaside is such a decision.

Teach the uncivilized people in remote areas. It is very thankless, and it is very likely that there will be no useful labor force within a generation. But in order to create a high-speed underground passage to the sea, connections are necessary.

After establishing contact with a cave, relevant surveyors will measure the location of the cave and start digging underground tunnels.

After the birth of power machinery, the structure of the shield machine was thought up. It seems that it was too magical to create such a machine in this primitive era. But there is one type of technology that is particularly advanced in this primitive era, and that is material technology. And want to break through the underground rocks. In this extremely hard underground environment, materials science is one of the most important disciplines when digging tunnels.

Related equipment for digging underground tunnels was developed in this way. Although it is very crude and much smaller than a real shield machine, people in this world have still created something with similar principles. Dig tunnels underground quickly.

In addition, a straighter and wider highway is also being built on the planet's surface.

Building a highway on the surface is also not an easy task. Several meters of snow on the surface need to be cleared and the snow must be cleared to a considerable distance to ensure that the foundation of the highway is strong enough.

Even though the cost of doing so was extremely high, the tribe members still chose to implement this plan. It was indeed possible to build a relatively spacious road through underground caves to the seaside.

However, due to the location of each underground cave, such a road is difficult to be straight and has to make many turns. Find Shuyuanwww.zhaoshuyuan. com

If you are a skilled veteran driver, you can still maintain a relatively high speed when driving on such a road, but if there is a large amount of goods to be transported between two industrial centers in the future. Then there must be a road that is straight enough that a high-speed road can be run on it to connect the two places.

This road connects more than just the seaside. There are also underground cities along the way.

Many auxiliary roads will be built to connect to this highway. It has just broken away from the remaining habits of primitive tribes. It is incredible that this large-scale infrastructure construction has become a reality.

Such a large project will take at least ten years to complete, and it may even take a generation to see the results, but it continues like this, and the process of building the road has also led to all the underground cities around this road. Really prosperous.

As underground roads are widened again and again, transportation is improved again and again, becoming more and more convenient, and even subways connecting different cities appear, the prosperity of underground people is increasing at an incredible speed.

Things like the subway will inevitably be born after they develop power equipment such as the Stirling engine. Especially in underground environments, this kind of equipment is more likely to work in temperature differences.

The underground train does not need to burn fuel at all to create a temperature difference. As long as it reaches a city, in this city, enough magma is loaded in the carriage, and the magma is gradually injected into the engine while moving forward, and allowed to slow down. cool down. It can create a large enough temperature difference with the outside world to keep the car powered at all times, and magma is almost the most common thing in caves and will not be exhausted at all.
