Soul of Searing Steel

Chapter 737: Rainbow in the dark

Views:

Unknown to all the members of the exploration team, the repair light beam (compressed form) they carry carries a complete information transmission module specially made by Joshua, which can collect the surrounding images, sounds and energy fluctuations at the same time. This module will be used in Automatically activates after teleportation starts, and then collects surrounding information.

This module itself does not have the ability to move, and the collection range is also very narrow, with a radius of only about five meters. However, through it, Joshua can confirm the current situation of the exploration team at any time and roughly know the situation of the world they are in. In this way It not only facilitates rescue, but also allows soldiers to actively activate the repair light beam to deploy a protective shield in times of crisis.

"You're a little too nice to these kids."

This is Kallis' view of this module. It was quite surprised that Joshua had the ability to communicate information across the world, but after thinking about the characteristics of the power of steel, it was no longer surprising. When he saw Joshua unfolding eight light curtains at the same time, then enlarging them all and placing them around him, as if he was preparing to watch an eight-screen high-definition movie high above the world of Kallis, Steel Python couldn't help but said: " Isn’t that a bit overprotective?”

"This kind of thinking is unacceptable."

Regarding Kallis's idea, Joshua shook his head, showing obvious disapproval.

Overprotective? This kind of thinking is inexplicable - ensuring the safety of explorers is the top priority. Think about the time when the earth landed on the moon and launched probes to the moon, Mars and other places. Every time it was not a lot of hard work, spent countless money and manpower, and also required Ensure the safety of the exploring party? In this multiverse, because of the extraordinary power, it is better to explore other worlds. After all, the explorers also have a certain ability to protect themselves, but on the other hand, the dangers they encounter may also be great.

Joshua relies on his unique super-light medium to transmit self-information without delay, so this thing cannot be used on exploration team members. Otherwise, all exploration teams can receive official information and opinions from the Imperial Exploration Department. .

"This time there are eight exploration teams exploring the eight most likely worlds in the 'Dark Realm' at the same time."

Joshua sat on the chair, and Kallis floated behind him like a spirit behind him. The two of them paid attention to the images coming from the eight light screens at the same time. While watching, the warrior said: "Keep yourself safe and explore another world. Basic information, accumulation of experience, and searching for clues to integrate the large information base... This is their task. Except for the last one, which depends on luck, the rest are very simple. If nothing happens, it can be almost 100% completed. "

Even the last clue to find the big information library is not difficult in the preset experiments of most researchers, because it is speculated that the demiplane where the big information is located leaps through the void at an extremely high energy level. It collided with a world in the dark realm, and then merged with it just like the 'Borderless Heaven' merged into Mycroft's world.

Of course, this integration process is not very comfortable, and can even be said to be very painful. According to calculations and speculations, according to the original speed and energy level of the large information database, if it collides with a world, there is a high probability that it can be directly It could lead to the end of the world, or even the whole continent or planet falling apart. Some people believe that the reason why the initial fire of the world in the dark realm will be extinguished is partly due to the impact of big information.

Such a terrifying end of the world will definitely leave deep traces, and the remnants may not have disappeared yet. As long as the eight exploration teams arrive in the world where the information database is located, they will definitely be able to discover it.

Joshua was staring at the light curtain at this time. He watched the eight teams wake up from the brief dizziness after the teleportation, and then began to quickly determine whether the surrounding situation was safe, atmospheric conditions, geological conditions, magic elements and other information. They According to previous training, the caster opened the atmospheric shield smoothly and familiarly, providing oxygen to the inside of the shield, while the cleric released a 'camp detection' towards the surroundings.

Faction detection is used in Mycroft's world to confirm the mental bias of each life. It is a magical technique based on the Holy Light theorem that "those who awaken to the Holy Light must not be evil". When used in other worlds, it is A simple and easy-to-use mind detection technique. As long as there is a certain amount of intelligent life, whether it is an energy life, a construct or an ordinary creature, it will be detected by it, and then a camp result will be fed back to the caster.

Because the judgment mechanism of camp detection is the mind, there are no casting environmental conditions. In addition to the relatively high casting level, it is much more reliable than the natural spell 'Life Detection' that can blind people without a natural environment.

"There is no life in the eight worlds, and the environment is relatively peaceful."

After roughly confirming the situation, Joshua, who was ready to take action at any time, relaxed, because the most dangerous moment of exploring another world is the initial stage of the exploration, that is, the period after the teleportation - for example, if the exploration team teleports to a magma What about the world? What should they do if they are transported to a deep-sea world full of water, or even a corrosive world full of acid

The carefully selected members of the exploration team may not be unable to swim in lava, and their equipment may not be incapable of operating in the deep sea and acid. However, during the initial period of mental trance, as long as the spell is not successfully cast by accident, then no matter what All the elite teams will be wiped out.

Joshua had thought about this, so he originally planned to release a defensive shield for each team at the beginning of the teleportation that would last for a period of time to prevent them from being killed by the bad environment and sudden dangers, but unfortunately it was because Due to technical reasons, this cannot be achieved for the time being, so I can only settle for the second best and watch them spend the early stages of exploration with my own eyes.

"The flames of these worlds are about to go out... worse than me."

Joshua and Kallis shared their senses. The Steel Python could sense the earth of eight worlds. It couldn't help but sigh and said somewhat gloomily: "I didn't sense the power of chaos. It wasn't that the evil god destroyed them... but at most it wasn't directly. The destruction, I guess, was probably due to the fact that when the Evil God of Fertility passed by, it caused an environmental imbalance in all the surrounding worlds, and these worlds only survived, but they were also on the verge of death."

This is similar to Joshua's view. He has personally come into contact with the remains of the Evil God of Abundance and knows the nature of the other party's power.

It is a power that forcibly induces the target to flourish, and then causes it to flourish and decline. In a sense, it may be regarded as the ultimate unilateral time acceleration, but it is more terrifying than time acceleration, because when it is suddenly During the period when it reaches its peak, all the hidden dangers of the target will explode in an instant, and it is impossible to master such a powerful power, leading to even faster self-destruction. In this, all the spilled energy will be snatched away by the Evil God of Abundance.

Even stars will be triggered by helium flashes, expand into red giants, and then rapidly decay and cool, deprived of energy and turn into black dwarfs.

As for why such a powerful Evil God of Fertility was defeated by the Sage... Joshua had an immature guess, that is, the Evil God of Fertility indeed brought the Sage to his unprecedented peak state... and then he could not come down.

After all, Joshua was able to deduce himself into a form with almost no weaknesses in the battle of Fatrolvi, so it is very likely that the sage does not have any weaknesses and hidden dangers that can be detonated by the Evil God of Abundance, plus the Evil God of Abundance Raise it to its strongest form so that it cannot let the sage 'decline', and is then purified into nothingness.

A true and sad story.

After finishing thinking about the Evil God of Abundance, Joshua turned his head and continued to pay attention to the current situation of the exploration team.

The eight worlds are numbered from one to eight respectively. Four of them are desolate sand and gravel worlds. Two of the other worlds can detect the existence of water, and two are still being explored.

Among them, six exploration teams that have roughly completed exploring the surrounding area are reporting the situation to the headquarters.

Of course, the exploration team did not know that Joshua could directly hear what they said. What they called a report was to describe the results of their exploration to a transmitter. This transmitter had a voice recording function and could report to them at intervals. The void sends a signal, and the headquarters of the Alien Exploration Department, which has been well prepared, can intercept this void message. Although the delay is high, it can be regarded as a means of communication and can also prevent the exploration team from encountering an accident without any gain.

"World Report No. 2, the world is temporarily determined to be a 'Desolate World', with a light brightness of 52, a gravity deviation of 1.13, and a magic concentration of 0.31. No water, oxygen, or mental reaction has been detected, and the surrounding ground has basically been gravelled. The soil and hardened rock formations, high-altitude observation and detection show that the surrounding environment is basically the same, it is all barren desert, and no valuable discoveries have been made yet.”

"World Report No. 7, this world is temporarily determined to be a 'water-rich world', with a light brightness of 77 and a gravity deviation of 1.07. The magic concentration is 0.83. We are currently located in the depths of a calm and windless ocean, without any land or mental reaction around it. , the caster condensed the ice layer as our temporary habitat. High-altitude observation and detection showed that there is no trace of the existence of any continent within the surrounding area of 400 kilometers in diameter and approximately 16,000 square kilometers. The world is extremely rich in oxygen, approximately Mycroft’s standard value is 1.92 times. The alchemist’s observation showed that she found a special kind of algae in the water, which may be the source of the rich oxygen.”

"World Report No. 5, this world has almost no light source at all, the light illumination is 3, the gravity deviation is 0.92, the temperature is about minus 94 degrees, the magic concentration is 1.21, it is extremely cold and dry, there is no snowfall or frost, we are located in a No mental reaction was found above the rock formation, so we are temporarily unable to conduct other detections and can only temporarily set up a camp to ensure life support."

"It's too damn cold here!" "Quick, increase the elemental resistance!" "Where's the alchemist? Where's the potion?" "Stop asking me for the resistance potion. You can't unscrew the bottle cap. Twist it open." There’s no way to drink it, unless you want to stick your mouth shut.”

Such sounds could be vaguely heard from around the reporter.

"World No. 8..."

"No. 4..."

"Sixth..."

After professional training, words with a unique reporting format were spoken from the mouths of each team leader, and then entered into the sending instrument. Joshua listened carefully to the other party's report - after all, his cross-world perception range was only five meters, and Kallis also listened with interest. Steel Python rarely went to other worlds, but thanks to Joshua, it could always get a lot of information from other worlds.

but…

"It sounds like you didn't find much, Joshua."

Kallis listened to the reports of the six teams that had completed the detection. It wrapped around the shoulders of the warriors and asked with some confusion: "Three barren sand and gravel worlds, one completely shrouded in darkness and cold without any light." world, an oxygen-rich ocean world, and another temporarily located on a mountain top, with only ice and mountains visible all around.”

"Not to mention the clues in the big information database, there aren't even any valuable ones!"

What Kallis said was indeed correct. Joshua nodded and agreed with what he said. None of these six different worlds is easy to develop and their value is very low.

Not to mention the three barren worlds, although the lightless world exists in the speculations of researchers and they have made corresponding preventive preparations, it is not suitable for human habitation. Ninety degrees below zero is not only a problem of freezing to death, but Even metal becomes extremely fragile.

The ocean world may have some value, but it is difficult to build a base. Unless the No. 7 exploration team can find the mainland, or send a Jiyi-level mage to freeze a glacier, subsequent development cannot be carried out. The same is true for the mountain world, unless the exploration team The team had to find a suitable environment, otherwise there would be no way to build on the top of the snow-capped mountains. Both worlds are extremely costly and the rewards are not obvious.

"However, that dark world may have been caused by the impact of a large information database."

Joshua stared at the light curtain of World No. 5. He nodded thoughtfully, and then pointed out this possibility: "Maybe it was the smoke and dust caused by its impact that blocked the sun, or in other words, the big information database directly blocked this world. The little sun, which is the collection of light elements formed by magic power, was destroyed, so it is so cold."

But the environment was so bad that the exploration team was completely unable to start exploring. Even the 'heat shield' and 'ice element resistance' blessed by the caster were of no use. The priest's divine spell 'Glorious Ember' brought The incoming light and heat cannot even last for more than 0.8 seconds in the surrounding environment before being interrupted due to backlash.

In the end, if the caster hadn't had a sudden idea and blessed everyone with an 'Ice Shield', shrouding everyone in an elemental ice layer that was only about 20 degrees below zero, and letting everyone breathe a sigh of relief, maybe they You will be forced to directly expand the camp, and you can only settle down and explore slowly.

After all, sometimes it's warmer in the refrigerator than in the house.

Then, the clues to the location of the large information database will probably be found in the remaining two worlds that have not yet been detected, after confirmation. Joshua shifted his gaze to the light curtains of worlds No. 1 and 3.

As it happened, the captain of the No. 3 World Exploration Team had just finished observing the other world he was in. He excitedly turned on the transmitter and began a routine report.

"This is the third world of the Dark Realm. I will make a special report with an 'extremely important' level!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the captain of the third team said something that cheered up Joshua and Kallis. They looked at each other like a python, and they both thought it was a good omen. Then, the captain of the third team continued: "That's right. The world is temporarily determined to be an 'extremely rich world', with an illumination of 39 and a gravity deviation of 1.54. The illumination is poor and the gravity is heavy. The earth has no undulations or surface, and is barren and lying flat. We have not detected any water or mental reactions. The atmosphere of this world It is mixed with a large amount of toxic gases, making it completely impossible to breathe and extremely unsuitable for survival."

"But." After reporting a lot of bad news, the team leader said a but. Joshua even saw his excited eyes through his magic armor and inner armor: "But, in this world, The magic concentration is 11.21 times the standard value! It is a super super magic world! Here, even a light spell can create an effect similar to a 'daytime light explosion'! Because the elements are too active, we don't even dare to experiment Other spells.”

Eleven times the magic power of Mycroft Continent? !

This sentence alone made the well-informed Joshua and Kallis stunned. Different from the warriors who were lost in thought, the Steel Python grew its own snake mouth and said in shock: "The ten people after the great demonic tide." Double the magic power? What is this concept? The magic power in this world can probably be liquefied, right? Oh my god... this kind of world... "

"This kind of world is still not suitable for human survival."

Joshua interrupted Carlisle's emotion. He frowned slightly and stared at the light curtain of World No. 3, sensing the situation on the other side through the repaired light beam. It was indeed half good. The fluctuation of magic power concentration was 9 to 12 times the standard value. No matter how you say it, it is very strong.

"However, if the concentration of magic power is too high, it will make the magic equipment unusable, and the radiation will be too high for people to survive. Many spells will automatically disintegrate, causing spell casting errors... In addition, the environment of this world is also very bad, at most Think of it as a training world for those who want to break through. Other than that, it has no use."

I'm a little interested in why it has such high magic power.

This is the real thought of the warrior. After all, in a high-magic environment, you might be able to find it in a dead and desolate world around the Void Vortex. That is to say, the world of Siberia is located in the eye of the storm. Otherwise, its magic concentration must at least exceed the standard value. Hundreds or thousands of times - but the dark realm should be a world that is about to extinguish the flames. Why does it have such high magic power

However, the report of World Exploration Team No. 3 was not over yet. He still said with excitement: "In addition to the extremely abundant magic power, we are certain that the seemingly barren desert we are in is actually completely made of some extremely special It is composed of rare metal particles, and these metal particles themselves seem to be the remains of some kind of super large advanced magical creation!"

"The remains of this high-level magical creation are so damaged that they have completely dissociated into pure alloy sand. However, these materials have been determined by alchemists and can be used again. This discovery alone is equivalent to The empire discovered a super large alloy ore vein!"

When it comes to this, the team leader of World No. 3 is even a little out of breath. This is because he is too excited, and the air in this world is too bad. The oxygen supply spell will not be able to provide so much oxygen for a while, but this does not matter. Strange, after all, the results of exploration will be converted into points and rewarded to the members of the exploration team. Whether it is the rich demon world or the alloy vein, if it is true, then the total members of the third team can get 7500 plus 12000. Redeem points and three B-levels, which is equivalent to an A-level redemption authority! They can even get a share of the mineral veins, which means they have a steady source of points.

"Unfortunately, too much time has passed. This advanced magical creation cannot be restored and can only be recycled as raw materials."

After regaining his breath, the team leader said regretfully: "What exactly is this super-large magical creation that can form a metal desert? We really want to know. There is no doubt that although we don't know why it is here and damaged like this It looks like that, but the civilization behind it must be very developed."

It should indeed be a pity, because if they really discovered a super large magical creation, such as the large mobile city where No. 3 was located in the world of Kallis, then giving them an S-level reward would not be an exaggeration. After all, That is the technological crystallization of a civilization, and its value is immeasurable!

If No. 3 had not been assisting the development of Moldavia's magic technology, each magic factory would never have been popularized so quickly. This is just the data carried by an artificial intelligence. If the entire mobile city could be recycled, Mike Rowe Husband's magic technology will further develop.

The third team's report is over. They will continue to explore this metal desert, trying to find the cause of the high magic concentration and the possible remains of creations. Joshua ignored it and said to himself, "What if I There is also so much rich magic power. "It would be great if my world also had such good conditions." He turned his head and looked at World No. 1.

That is the world where the elite team, Team Prest, is located.

Until now, the world where Team Prester lives is still noisy. If Joshua hadn't been able to detect that everyone's heartbeats were steady and their vital signs were normal, he would have thought they were in danger.

After a while, probably a few hours later, when Joshua saw the first curious silver goblin touching the repairing light beam, he yelled in surprise and called friends to come and "soak in the hot spring" together. At this time, Prest's tired voice was belatedly transmitted from the light curtain of the first world.

"World Report No. 1, the world is in a special situation and is temporarily determined to be a 'special world'. The illumination of this world is 25, the gravity deviation is 0.33, the magic concentration is 1.78, it is a high-heat world, the average temperature detected is 85 degrees, and no anything is detected. Water, Oxygen and Mind Response."

"Another special world."

Kallis ended its envy of World No. 3. It turned its head and stared at the light curtain of World No. 1 with Joshua. Then it said strangely: "Hey, isn't it snowing here? What should I say? No water detected? And how can it be snowy and hot?”

But soon, Prester's report answered his doubts: "After the initial teleportation, we were located in the center of a basin and encountered a large-scale snowfall phenomenon unique to that world. Due to the temperature, we were very surprised, but soon Soon, the alchemists in the team discovered that what fell from the sky was not ice, but metal condensation."

"Yes, the snowfall in this world is actually 'metal snow'. We climbed out of the basin and found a safer mountainside that would not be buried by metal snow for observation. We determined that the world is full of volcanoes and the surface is full of cracks. Valley, a large amount of smoke mixed with high-heat metal gas surges into the sky, and then condenses and precipitates as metal snow and falls to the earth. Some of the metal will be evaporated by the high temperature on the surface, continuing this special cycle, while other parts of the metal will precipitate into Large chunks of rough metal deposits, the mountains we are in today, are actually covered with a layer of metal alloy."

There is no doubt that this is also a large mineral vein world. After hearing this, Joshua and Kallis both nodded. This is undoubtedly a good discovery. Natural exposed mineral deposits and high-heat environments are the favorite type of dwarves. , they are not afraid of poisonous gases and can move freely in such a world. Moreover, even the metal under the snow may be a paradise for the dwarves.

[They lie on a bed inlaid with gems, and there is an eternal furnace burning beside them. Everyone is free to pick up the metals they want from the ground and forge what they want. No one can interrupt this process. They can Drinking strong liquor at will will neither give them a headache nor make them intoxicated. There is adamantine and mithril everywhere, hot air everywhere, and everyone can have a completely safe house next to the magma pool.]

[—Hadith of the Dwarves, Kingdom of Heaven]

"But just like that, it can't be called 'special'."

Joshua commented: "It's just a metal-rich world with low gravity and active geological activities, unless there is any special information."

Just as it happened, Priest continued to report: "There seems to be no sun in this world. The light source is entirely the cracks in the earth's surface and the light of lava caused by volcanic eruptions... But the strange thing is that there is a circle of rainbow in the sky."

As he spoke, Priest passed a series of special messages to the transmitter, which were codes used to describe pictures and videos. Joshua decoded them directly and got a magic video that was not particularly clear.

Above the completely dark world, there were large swaths of metallic clouds. After a particularly heavy snowfall, the clouds briefly disappeared for a while. It could be seen that there was a circle of darkness in the dark sky. rainbow.

The rainbow has seven distinct colors and rotates from time to time. It seems to surround a completely dim and non-luminous entity, passing through the high sky of World No. 1 at a not too slow speed.

At the end of the video, Priest's tired voice came with a hint of hesitation: "This is the dark rainbow we found... Even the sun has gone out and water does not exist. Why is there still a rainbow? And every time a rainbow appears, At this time, the magic concentration will suddenly increase to more than 5 times the standard value, the gravity deviation will be strangely reduced, and even a brief weightlessness will occur. Countless volcanoes and earthquakes will erupt at the same time, causing countless smoke and dust to be swept into the sky like a tide. ,It's just like… "

When he said this, Priest, who had always been calm, swallowed his saliva and said with a somewhat frightened voice: "It's like we, together with the world, are being drawn towards that dark existence!"
