Starting from Zero

Looking down from the jail, the jungle is no longer a blocking factor. On the contrary, the small piece of open space that appeared in a large green jungle became more obvious because of the huge face contrast. It would be fine if there was nothing to fly here under normal circumstances, but the sickle could just take me to the top of the hole, so the lice on the bald head would be exposed here.

"It's over there, hurry up." While informing Aimenis with a touch of heart, they hurried over, and I directed the sickle toward that position.

In American comics, Spider-Man is moving very fast, and the facts have proved that using spider silk to throw dàng forward is really fast. It took us only a few dozen seconds to fly near the open space, and then just before we reached the open space, the sickle bit the spider silk decisively. After losing the traction of the spider silk, we did not land immediately, but continued to fly forward along the habit of the previous dàng, and at this time when we started falling, we just reached the sky.

Because the sickle cut the spider silk perfectly, we almost hit the center of the open space almost directly. With eight long arthropods, the sickle made a perfect landing,

Not only did not glide forward, but even the impact of falling was fully absorbed by his long tuǐ. I felt only a slight sense of falling on his back, and there was no obvious impact at all.

Immediately after the sickle landed, I turned over and jumped off the back of the sickle, and then I ran directly to the strange device in the center of the open space and observed it.

The device erected in the middle of this open space is quite strange. Its main body is a round pillar with a height of about four meters. At the top of this pillar are three metal bars protruding like a helicopter's spiral leaves, but this metal bar is not deployed horizontally, but after bending downwards, it is connected to the position of the pillar body about three meters above the ground. And these three blades are not bent down vertically, but have a moving rotation angle. For example, the bottom end of the blade directly facing me is connected to the pillar at the right rear of the pillar, and the bottom end of the blade at the top right of the pillar is connected to the left rear of the pillar.

This weird blade structure is actually quite rare "but it is just rare and not completely unseen. At least I have seen this kind of thing, but not in the game, but in reality. Remember that It was on a ship, and the device at that time was very small, and the total height was only about one meter, but the structure was exactly the same as this thing. I remember when I asked about the function of this thing, the people on the ship Tell me it's an anemometer, which is used to measure wind speed.

It is normal to install an anemometer on a ship, no matter how weird it is. But what can this thing do in this underground cave xué? I haven't felt any wind here since we came in. In the underground cave xué, wind is rarely present, not to mention that a large area of ​​tropical rain forest has grown in this place. Not to mention that it is in a deep underground cave xué, even in the depths of tropical rain forests in South America, no wind can exist. After all, the ability of trees to block airflow is too strong. It may be windy above the treetops, but the thing in front of us is only a little over four meters high, and the shortest trees around it are all over six meters. Surrounded by a circle of such tall trees, even if the gadget is an anemometer, I guess it is impossible to measure the actual wind speed. What's more, this thing is turning on its own in the absence of wind at all, and the speed is quite fast. Although it has not reached the point where the blades can't see it clearly, there is still a speed of two seconds per revolution.

, "Budget, help me see what this is." I recite is digging out that electromagnetic railgun for me, so for the time being, I can only help you with Brigitte, who is also a creature. In any case, the bodies that make up living things are also made of machinery, so they are inherently more aware of mechanical systems than we are.

Immediately after being summoned, Brigitte projected two green lights from her eyes and swept the thing up and down several times, then said, "There is a heat source reaction inside the columnar cavity. I suspect there is a connection at the bottom of the column. Geothermal resources, the piece around the column is also an energy collector that simply uses the rising hot air to work, and a transmission device is connected to its bottom.

"Do you mean this is a windmill?"

"From a structural point of view," Brigitte replied affirmatively.

"So where did the power go?"

"The power generated by the operation of the windmill is transmitted to the ground, and I can see through there are a lot of cavities under the ground. There should be an underground building group under our feet."

"Looks like we have found the target." I looked around and asked Brigitte, "Can you see where the entrance is?"

When Brigitte heard my question, she didn't answer it immediately. Instead, she scanned her eyes in all directions, and didn't let it go before the ground, but she finally found the entrance.

"You said we were standing above the entrance?"

"Yes," Brigitte replied affirmatively, "the signals returned by scanning through electromagnetic radiation can confirm that the power of this windmill is connected to a simple lifting device."

"It's actually an elevator that works with geothermal energy." After sighing, I started Brigitte to find a way to open this elevator. "But after searching for a circle, I didn't find the switch. Finally, Brigitte used her perspective ability. After scanning the underground structure, it was confirmed that the switch is inside the elevator, and now the elevator is closed, which means that we are standing on the top of the elevator.

Although I didn't find the elevator switch, Brigitte's statement made me do one thing, that is, the owner here may live here alone.

This inference is actually very easy to understand. If there is more than one person living here, then the design of such an elevator will face a problem, that is, once one person comes out, then the person inside is equivalent to being trapped inside, because when the elevator rises, it is below People can't lower it at all, they can only wait for people outside to come back and lower the elevator down, so that others can use the elevator again. By the same token, if there are several people coming out together, in case they are not coming back together, then the person who returns first drives the elevator down, and the people who return later can only find a way to call the people below to drive the elevator up to pick him up, otherwise he himself The elevator could not be operated at all. Obviously 1

This setup is quite inconvenient. The person who has the ability to design such an elevator will certainly not do such a stupid thing, so the only reason for explanation is that the owner here is only one person, and he does not need to consider the issue of getting in and out of the second person.

Although it is roughly speculated that there is only one owner here, we still cannot open the elevator. In the end I had no choice but to get the pepper back through Ling who was still directing the excavation work over the channel. Pepper's mental force field can move objects with ideas, and it can be used even if it is separated by things, but the thicker the partition, the more her power will be weakened.

Fortunately, I just need her to flip the switch of that elevator, and the thickness of the ground is less than half a meter. This distance has little effect on the mental field of pepper.

After the pepper controlled the electric side general switches to go up a pile, we immediately heard a sound of metal friction, followed by the speed of the windmill above, and the ground under our feet began to slowly rise.

Because the windmill driven by the updraft force is very small, the elevator can only be driven by the gear set to amplify the power, but the output power of the windmill will not change after the power is increased. Therefore, although the elevator is moving, the speed is slow. Fortunately, this is a dedicated elevator, and the distance is only a few meters. If an elevator is installed in a general building, most people would rather climb stairs. At the speed of this stuff, if you were on the tenth floor or the eighth floor, you ca n’t wait for an hour?

Seeing that the thing looked like a snail for a long time before it rose less than a foot high, I couldn't take it anymore, and just let Brigitte hold the windmill to help speed it up. Because it is a constructed creature, Brigitte's joints can rotate infinitely "so she can grab the windmill to rotate at high speed to help it accelerate.

Sure enough, as soon as the speed of the windmill came up, the speed of the elevator was significantly faster, but because of the gear ratio, it still took several minutes to raise the whole thing to the ground.

The lift that was lifted up was not as big as I expected, and it was not square, but a circular space. Based on the size of the space here, it is estimated that four or five people can stand down at the same time, and it must be crowded together.

I was about to look down, and when I heard someone shouting, I looked up and found out that it was Sulun and Aimenis who came over. Now that they have arrived, I simply put away both Amenities and the Favorite, anyway, I do n’t need Amenities to eliminate the illusions anymore.

After putting away the magic pet, I stood on the elevator with Su Lun, pulled the side knife-like switch down, and the elevator immediately began to descend.

Fortunately, the designers here are not too stupid, knowing that no wind drive is needed when descending, as long as there is a reduction gear, so our descending speed is significantly faster than when we came up.

Since this elevator has only half a circle of walls without doors, we saw the following situation before the elevator landed. To our surprise, this is not a place like ancient tombs or magic towers. Of course, I mean that the style is not the same. As for whether these two types of things are here, we have to wait until the investigation is completed to know. However, as far as we can see, there are more factories than ruins here.

The back of the elevator is against the wall, and there is a corridor in front, but it is not a special corridor connecting the elevator, but a passage. The corridor is horizontal, and the elevator descends right in the middle of the corridor, with roads on the left and right. But what we are paying attention to now is not the road on both sides, but the pipes on the wall of the passage. Almost all the walls behind the corridor can't see the rocks behind, and you can see that there are countless thick and thin pipes arranged on the wall, and some of the pipes stick out from the sky board and walk horizontally in the passage. One section was inserted into the ground, and some pipes led out from the wall on one side, and then turned around on the board, and then suddenly turned into the opposite wall. Of course, more of them were arranged along the aisle. Of pipes. At that moment, I felt like I had reached the main power zone of Isinger, and the magic pipeline over there was similar to this, but it was not as dense as here. Fortunately, these pipes are just arranged there quietly. There is no steam in the east and a few drops of water in the west. Otherwise, I would definitely think that this is the production workshop of a chemical plant.

"Where do we go?" Su Lun asked after looking around.

, "Please, you guide me, do you ask me?"

"But I have never been here!"

"Then just do it." I turned directly to the left: "Go this way first, and find nothing before going to the other side."

Su Lun nodded and quickly followed my steps, but I took two steps and stopped. Well, I thought I still summoned a large group of death guards to guard this elevator position, so if there is something over there, at least I can give me a warning.

After arranging death guards, we followed the passage all the way. Fortunately, this passage is not long and there are no forks. Not long after we heard a buzz, and as we continued to move forward, the sound grew louder.

Soon after we walked to the end of the passage, we saw a curtain door like the curtain-shaped hanging curtain hanging at the mall entrance, but this door was not made of plastic and rubber but was made of cotton, which looked like a quilt. Again, the thickness is amazing.

At first we saw that this curtain was weird, but when we opened it, we knew why there was such a thick cotton curtain hanging here. On the side of the curtain, we could hear a clear roar of the machine, but that sound was equivalent to a starting truck, but immediately after we opened the curtain, the starting truck became a An airplane, and it was taking off.

"Is this a factory here?"

"What did you say?" Su Lun shouted at me blankly after I finished speaking. He only heard what I said, but he could n’t hear what I said, because the noise here is so loud that you have to shout to let others hear what you say.

I waved my hand without shouting to Su Lun to signal him to keep up, and then moved on. The curtain door is a door separated by a meter, but there is a thick layer of animal skin on this door, which is probably used for sound insulation. The sound here is noisy enough. I didn't expect it to be the sound of a door. If there is no door in front of it, it may be necessary to make people deaf.

After looking at Su Lun, I turned around and shouted to him, "There must be a loud voice inside, you plug your ears in and then go in. Whenever something happens, you can use this gesture. If you can't, just use this." I said and passed it Give him a crystal the size of a cell phone. , "Grasp this thing and figure out what you want to say, this crystal will translate your words into text and display it. If you have any words, use this thing to communicate with me."

Su Lun curiously took the half crystal and tried it, and found that it could show the text he wanted, so he nodded to understand and found something to plug his ears.

After confirming that Su Lun was ready, I also lowered the helmet mask and activated the sound insulation function to adjust the already quite noisy surrounding sound to almost inaudible before daring to push the door. Almost as soon as I opened the door, I had been reduced to a noise similar to a mosquito hum. Suddenly it became the noise level of a civilian car. Although it was not very noisy to listen to, it was my adjustment after all. The noise after the helmet's sound insulation effect, I guess if I take the helmet off Lima now, my eardrums will rupture.

Su Lun's earplugs obviously did not have such good sound insulation as my helmet, so he quickly covered his ears as soon as he came in, but it seemed to be very hard to look at him like this. I looked at the second curtain behind the door and took out the crystal and let Su Lun go out and wait for me. Seeing the curtain in front, Su Lun knew that the back was probably noisier than this, so he didn't hesitate to say something outside and then turned and ran out.

After seeing Su Lun go out, I turned around and closed the soundproof door, and then dared to open the front curtain after turning down the volume of the helmet again. This curtain is also like a quilt like the first one. After opening this curtain, the noise really increased again, but I have adjusted the sound insulation effect, so the sound is still acceptable now.

After passing through this curtain, the passage was over. What appeared before me was a huge horizontal room. Standing under my feet is a metal suspension ladder, this position is at least ten meters high from the floor of the room in front of me. The room as a whole has a very regular rectangular parallelepiped, and the length in the left-right direction is about 800 meters. The width from me to the opposite wall is about 100 meters, which means that the room has at least 80,000 squares. In addition, the height of this room is about 50 meters. The escalator where I stand is located in the middle and lower part of the wall. Although it is more than ten meters from the ground, it is actually less than half the height of the room.

This huge room is quite clean. The surrounding walls and slabs are all made of smooth slate, and there is no trace of protrusions or gaps on the surface. There is nothing complicated or messy in the room, but only six identical giant machines are neatly arranged in the room.

The shape of this machine can basically be divided into three parts ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ First is a base. This part is circular, about 70 meters directly. The height of the base is about 15 meters. The bottom 10 meters is basically vertical to the ground. At the top 5 meters, it begins to narrow inwardly and forms a top platform with a diameter of about 60 meters. The center of this platform is vertical. The second part of the machine is also cylindrical, with a diameter of about 55 meters and a height of more than 20 meters, but its edges are not flat, but are composed of various bumps. These bumps look like As if the edges of the gear.

Because the upper part is much thinner than the lower part, there is a platform around the top of the lower structure where people can walk, and there are railings outside. Obviously, people often walk on it, and I also find the lower floor A metal ladder is attached to the ground to connect the ground, which is obviously easy to get on and off.

In addition to these two main parts, the third main part is the pipes connected to the bottom of the machine. These pipes look like fifty or so, the thickest are three, and the others are thick and thin, but they look neatly arranged and do not look messy. These pipes will bend immediately after protruding from the base of the machine and then be inserted vertically into the ground. It is not known where they are connected below.

Looking at the row of giant machines in front of me, I immediately thought of something
