Five Frozen Centuries

Wei Huo and his team continued to dive, and after passing through the clouds formed by mercury, they suddenly saw a scorching red spot below, and at the same time, the surrounding temperature began to rise.

Looking at the red dot, everyone seemed to understand why there was a mercury cloud here. The red dot was clearly a huge active volcano!

Xiao Liang said: "It is rumored that the reason for the sinking of Atlantis was water and fire. One is because of the rising sea level, and the other is because of a volcanic eruption. Now it seems that the rumors are true."

As they continued to dive, they finally saw the bottom of the sea. The bottom of this sea area is a group of volcanoes. There is not just one crater below, but hundreds of craters, and the center of the crater is red. Thin lines flowed out, these should be magma flows.

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

Xiao Liang said: "A long time ago, when every house on the earth was brightly lit, if you look down from space, the surface of the earth is also like this."

This is a scene that only Wei Huo and Xiao Liang have seen before. Before the time stop, every household will turn on the electric lights at night, and the street lights will also light up on the road. At this time, if you look down from space, you will see countless lights. On Earth, urban areas are densely lit and rural areas are sparsely lit.

Jin Jia understood, and he said: "So, is this the kingdom of Atlantis? They live on the seabed, obtain energy from magma, and build cities near each crater, and the towns are near the craters. , the country is far away from the crater, and these magma flows were also opened up by them."

At this moment, Wei Huo and his party are still 10,000 meters away from the sea surface, and they still need to continue diving. Under their feet is a group of active volcanoes, and there is a large city around each crater. They don't know about Atlantis yet. Where is the main city, so I can only find a city to fall.

Wei Huo said: "According to what Xiao Liang said, the Atlanteans are no different from us. We can first land in a certain village and understand the situation first. At least we must understand how they communicate. .”

Everyone nodded. The deep sea shell is no better than land, and people cannot speak underwater. At the same time, because there is magma everywhere, the sea bottom must be full of various water vapor and bubbles. In such an environment, the human eye should not be able to see anything clearly.

But when a group of people landed in a village dozens of kilometers away from the active crater at their feet, they suddenly found that the real situation was somewhat different from their own point of view.

Wei Huo and his team searched for a red line at the very edge, and as the altitude decreased, the temperature continued to rise. At the same time, there was more and more mercury vapor. The temperature exceeded 100 degrees, and water vapor and air bubbles were everywhere in the water. The naked eye can no longer see anything clearly.

The group of people closed their eyes and looked at things with divine sense. However, when they fell below a thousand meters, the situation suddenly changed. The water vapor disappeared, and air appeared here, as if a huge bubble condensed the magma It's like the world around you is covered.

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

This magma flow is red and glowing red, and it rolls viscously and flows downstream. On both sides of the river are hard magmatic rocks. This kind of rock can withstand high temperatures. It is formed by the extrusion of magma after cooling. But around the river, there are countless weird plants that take root here and seem to survive by absorbing the heat of the magma.

Wei Huo and his team carefully observed these trees. These trees were black in color and had no leaves. Although they looked like a tree, they were more like stone trees made of stones. But everyone's sense of spirit was very sensitive. Feel the breath of these trees, and breathe the oxygen spit out by the trees.

"That's right," Jin Jia said, "Any ecological circle is inseparable from producers and consumers. Unless the creatures of this population can be self-produced and sold, otherwise, in places where there are no plants, this population cannot survive for a long time."

Xiao Liang took out a set of scientific instruments, found a thick stone tree and began to test it. He is an explorer and a scientist. He travels all his life just to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, so he discovered a new unknown species at this moment. Of course he was going to do some research.

Jin Jia is also very interested in this. He also understands the charm of science. Science is a means of exploring the unknown. Every time he discovers something unknown through scientific means, he will have a great sense of accomplishment.

Of course, Wei Huo's thirst for knowledge is no less than theirs. They all seem to figure out what's going on with this stone tree, what's going on with this Atlantis kingdom?

A group of people scanned with spiritual thoughts, tested with scientific instruments, and did experiments. After tinkering for a long time, they finally figured out what was going on with the stone tree.

Xiao Liang said: "There are no leaves, and there is no photosynthesis. The roots directly absorb the heat of the magma. After obtaining the heat, they convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen."

Jin Jia raised his head and looked towards 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 space inside the protective cover. How did this bubble that covers us form?"

They measured for a long time, but they didn't find out how this situation contrary to common sense was formed, but they didn't say they found nothing. They cut down several stone trees of this kind. After research, they found that this stone tree can absorb magma through its roots , and then transported through the inner conduit, because the magma contains various minerals, so various stones will crystallize on the surface of the trees.

This kind of tree has great utility value. If it is planted in a mineral-dense area, it can absorb various minerals into the body, and then produce crystals, so that it bears metal fruits such as golden apples and silver bananas. It is not uncommon to come, the premise is to provide it with sufficient energy.

Jin Jia said: "This is the mining tree! The charm of science is to make seemingly useless things useful, and this kind of tree can be used to transform the planet to produce oxygen in the future. During interstellar travel, the power of this kind of tree Great value!"

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