Steel steam and flame

Get in touch with Perkins that evening to determine the time and place for the rendezvous. He carried solid red mercury with him. According to him, this kind of thing was a theory that was considered feasible thousands of years ago. Now that it is successful and can be mass-produced, he is very interested. He has been studying the journey to the small country. He said that after actually meeting, he wanted to have a good chat about it.

On the third day after the contact, Perkinz, Hillary, and sisters Lina and Sheila came to the city where Sicia was located and checked into the same hotel. There was a small gathering in the evening at a restaurant next to the hotel. However, due to the limitations of the spiritual world, Sicia and Hilary were talking in one place, while Cassia and Perkins were talking in another place.

"Ms. Hilary Riley said that solid red mercury is a product jointly produced by the top scientific research institutions on the Three-Phase Continent." After finishing talking about some of the new things he saw on the road, Perkinz continued what he had not finished in the communication three days ago. Regarding the matter, I deliberately said this sentence, "You came into contact with it too early, and you probably don't have the background to study 'joint research'."

"It can be absorbed and utilized by low-level operators. This characteristic should not exist among its characteristics at the beginning of the research. Cassia, you know that solid red mercury must be used as an energy substance. For example, Sheila The battle armor Miss Ruili mentioned, various bionic machines during the war, red-tube airplanes, etc."

"Because of some information, I think that the actual use place of solid red mercury seems to be very suitable for the entrance and exit of underground creatures." Perkins deliberately revealed some information, with thoughts and speculations in his tone, "Later, regarding solid red mercury, , I think it is necessary to conduct a careful investigation."

"The time from the beginning to the end of research and development, how much is produced, where the finished products end up, etc. The Theocracy had a project document similar to solid red mercury thousands of years ago. The goal of developing it at that time was very clear, and it became increasingly difficult to deal with disasters. The second-type creatures are stepping out of extreme areas, and the underground tide of creatures is increasing in frequency."

Cassia was still sitting on the wreckage of the battleship, looking at Pekinz who was sitting cross-legged not far away, and used various knowledge to interpret Pekinz's words.

"Either the research and development should have been completed and started to be used thousands of years ago, or the disasters and underground biological tides have been solved in other ways, and solid red mercury is no longer needed?" Cassia tried to interpret Perkinz's doubts. s reason.

Perkinz nodded solemnly: "After being forcibly awakened by the will of the new world tree, I actually had a period of confusion for more than a month when facing the world a thousand years later. Afterwards, following the conversation with Miss Hilary Riley, these Confusion is relieved by information, and new questions are also created.”

He looked at Cassia: "Underground creatures are one of them. Because I mentioned underground creatures a little bit during the conversation, but Miss Hilary didn't respond at all. I thought that for thousands of years, this was a problem that troubled the Theocracy and nature at that time. The problem of the association alliance has been completely solved. But I got the solid red mercury not long ago, and its sparkling crystal brilliance aroused my interest and speculation."

Almost talking to himself until this point, Perkinz looked at Cassia who was thinking, and then remembered that if Miss Hilary had no impression of underground creatures, Cassia should not know this information at all. He immediately explained simply: "The root network of the World Tree is essentially the rhizomes left in the rock formations on the ground after the World Tree fell in ancient history. This is not new information to you."

"World Tree Root Network..." Cassia inserted the prompt information into her running thoughts, and the linear head immediately emitted a burst of light.

"The root network is not only alive, but over a long period of time, it also forms an ecosystem under the ground?"

Perkinz nodded matter-of-factly: "In ancient history, when the six red stars appeared for the first time, most of the powerful creatures gathered around the World Tree to try to enter the huge vortex in the sky and understand the vortex. What will happen next? An opportunity to become a new generation of gods, or an opportunity to glimpse the essence of this world?"

"At that time, there were not only dragons and giant whales called the second type of creatures, but also other life forms, all of which were very powerful. The war that occurred due to the competition was the end of history. From that time on, After the start, the World Tree collapsed, and the continental group lost its stable anchor point, gradually fell out of position and disappeared, and no trace has been found until now."

"And the number of various life forms that died in that war was extremely large. Where do you think the bodies of these life forms ended up?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Cassia got the answer. Some members of the same species of life forms will later go to the battlefield around the World Tree and take away some remains. But there is only one place for the larger number of corpses to go.

"After the World Tree collapsed, it wanted to borrow these corpses as nourishment for its own regrowth?"

Perkinz's face was full of thoughts and doubts: "This is not only a question that everyone in the world is thinking about. I think even the third general probably didn't know about the first six Let’s look at the specific results after the arrival of the red star.”

"The corpses on the battlefield did become nourishment for the World Tree to re-grow. But it did not grow because of this. The reason why we now judge that the World Tree that went into the whirlpool is the World Tree from ancient history is also based on this reason. As a stable If it exists in the continental group with spiritual will, even if the main branch collapses, it will not disappear. Its re-growth speed should be very fast, after all, it can also reabsorb and utilize the fallen main body."

"But history tells us that what should have happened did not happen, so there is such speculation."

It is precisely because the will of the World Tree left that the root network left behind absorbed a large number of corpses on the battlefield, and an ecology existing underground was born. Cassia thought that if she and the first-generation Knight King Grote could survive in spiritual bodies, then the strong men in ancient history would also have something similar to their spirits left behind.

"There is no definite answer to whether the World Tree in ancient history has left. However, underground creatures have never fully invaded the ground. The biggest obstacle should be the will of the World Tree, right? Whether it is the will to think or the long time Instinct formed underground. In short, for underground creatures, the root network is a cage that is too strong to be destroyed?"

"That's why I have doubts about solid red mercury. Dealing with underground organisms will definitely become easier and easier as time goes by. Even if this threat cannot be completely eradicated, it is a certain fact that there will no longer be a tide of underground organisms. . I suspect that for the coming of the six red stars, whether it is the third general or something else, there must be some people or some creatures who have also predicted it."

"The status of the root network is generally related to underground organisms. I'm afraid that something has changed during the lost thousand years, and I have no idea about it. Such an information gap is enough to be fatal."

Cassia sighed: "I need to add this troublesome thing to my future plans."

"We are absolutely lucky to be approaching this era. The only six red stars in history are coming. Don't underestimate its importance."
