The two waited patiently for a while, and then proceeded after the fleet of the Extreme Realm tribe withdrew, and to be precise, they proceeded towards the ice layer.
Although the powerful Extreme Race soldiers have already left, to be on the safe side, Yang Yi and Amy did not use brute force to penetrate the ice, because the Extreme Race fleet was likely to leave behind small detectors when it was withdrawn. It will be able to find anomalies on the home planet. Fortunately, Yang Yi brought a set of standard combat equipment for the Human Expeditionary Force, including a battery-powered thermal energy generator.
However, the two underestimated the thickness of the ice.
According to Amy, the ocean of storms is the largest ocean on the home planet of the Polar Race, with a depth of more than 50 kilometers. When the home planet of the Polar Race reaches the aphelion, only liquid water exists near the submarine volcanic crater. More than 4,000 years ago, when the Polar Clan settled here, the pioneers of the Galactic Alliance placed some severely damaged and unusable spacecraft near several large volcanic craters, using the large-scale original energy conversion of these spacecraft. The device has created some small ecosystems that allow the extreme races to survive in harsh environments. In the next few hundred years, the Polar Race depended on these small ecosystems to survive on the home planet, and gradually developed and expanded, eventually becoming a second-rate top civilization. This is also true, these ecosystems must be the holy land of the extreme tribes.
However, these ecosystems are all on the bottom of the storm ocean, and at the deepest point.
Now, the planet has moved to near the aphelion, and the storm ocean has long been frozen. In other words, in front of Yang Yi and Amy is a layer of ice tens of kilometers thick.
Although it is not difficult for Yang Yi and Amy to penetrate tens of kilometers of ice at all, only a single-soldier thermal energy generator creates a channel of tens of kilometers in the ice. Obviously It's a big trouble, and even if it can be done, it will take a lot of time.
In the next few hours, the two only advanced less than one kilometer. At this speed, it will take several days to penetrate the ice.
Even if it wouldn't be discovered by the defenders of the Extreme Clan, it couldn't be delayed for so long. It's very simple. It won't be long before the defenders of the Extreme Realm Race will discover that the previous anomalous original energy fluctuations came from some detectors. As long as the commander of the garrison of the Extreme Race is not too dumb, he can think of invaders using detectors as bait to lure them away. Next, the Polar Race defenders will definitely block the star system where the parent star is located, and then send out a large army to carry out a carpet search. If this matter arouses the attention of the royal family of the Extreme Clan, they will definitely send powerful members of the royal family and strengthen the defense force of the Holy Land. Even if Yang Yi and Amy weren't discovered, they broke through the ice a few days later and arrived near the holy land of the Extreme Clan, waiting for them is probably the Royal Guard of the Extreme Clan, or even the Queen of the Extreme Clan.
"We have to hurry up, and if we delay it, the consequences may be unpredictable."
Amy nodded, expressing that he understood what Yang Yi meant.
"Wait, I'll open the road ahead, you follow closely, don't pull it down." Yang Yi said with a breath, "Unsurprisingly, those defenders left detectors, maybe there are a few powerful ones. The guy stays on the home planet, but I can’t perceive their existence, maybe they no longer use the original energy. That is to say, we will soon expose our whereabouts, so we can only move forward. If the situation is not in seconds, , We are going to evacuate immediately. No matter what, we can’t just leave like this, we have to try it anyway. Big deal, think of other ways to check it out in the future. Remember, when there is any abnormal situation, we must immediately tell me."
Amy nodded and agreed, without saying much.
Yang Yi didn't talk about it anymore. When Amy was ready, he propped up the energy barrier, and at the same time concentrated a stream of original energy between his hands.
As Yuanneng shot from Yang Yi's hand, a straight downward channel appeared under his feet.
The huge heat released during the conversion of the original energy instantly melted the nearby hard ice, which is equivalent to burning a channel in the ice layer. As the ice melts and vaporizes, the passage is full of white water vapor. However, for Yang Yi, these mists are not a problem at all.
Yang Yi took the lead, followed by Amy.
Obviously, for Yang Yi, breaking through the ice layer tens of kilometers thick is simply a breeze.
A few minutes later, the two penetrated the ice.
As Amy said, there is a vast ocean beneath the ice. To be precise, it is a city built on the bottom of the sea, or a city that has long been abandoned.
Although at the beginning, the Polar Race can only live in the ecosystem built by pioneers, but after hundreds of years of development, especially after becoming a second-rate top civilization, the Polar Race's scope of existence has expanded to the entire storm ocean. , And built the entire underwater world into a city. In its heyday, this submarine city was home to billions of people from extreme tribes, as well as envoys from tens of thousands of civilizations. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Hundreds of years later, when the Polar Race as a whole migrated, the home planet became a forbidden zone for idlers to avoid entering, and this magnificent submarine city also fell. Thousands of years later, there are only ruined walls left here.
Seeing the ruins ahead, Yang Yi also sighed.
Even if it is just a ruin, you can imagine how prosperous this place was more than four thousand years ago. However, not everyone is suitable for living here.
The key is that the city is built on the bottom of the sea.
"there."
Hearing Amy's words, Yang Yi turned his head to look at her, and then flew in the direction Amy pointed.
Although the resistance of the sea water is great, it has not become a problem for Yang Yi and Amy. In fact, both of them have energy barriers, and they are not in contact with the sea.
Not long after, light appeared in front of him.
It is a submarine volcanic crater, and the light comes from magma. However, the crater was shrouded by a huge energy barrier. After the magma reached the crater, it was blocked by the energy barrier. Instead of spraying out from the crater, the lava quickly cooled down and then sank.
When he arrived near the crater, Yang Yi saw that the energy barrier came from under the surface near the crater.
In other words, the device that creates the energy barrier is underground.
In addition, the vicinity of the crater is full of solid lava, that is, cooled magma. Obviously, this volcano has existed for a long time, and it has been in an eruption state, continuously spraying magma outward. The energy barrier surrounding the crater is not actually to prevent magma from erupting, but to prevent the loss of energy. It is also the existence of this energy barrier that the magma in the crater has not been cooled.
"is it here?"
"It should be here." Amy nodded slightly and said, "In the beginning, the spacecraft were all placed near the crater. Although the spacecraft had large power converters, it was impossible to work all the time due to technical limitations. Regular maintenance and inspections. In order to ensure the environment in the ecosystem, it is necessary to use the energy of the volcano. Simply put, when the large primary energy converter on the spacecraft is maintained, the volcano provides energy to drive the operation of the ecological device to ensure the ecology The environment in the circle will not deteriorate rapidly. It is also the case that an energy barrier must be used to protect the crater. As expected, the spacecraft is just below the surface."
"We go in from the crater."
Amy was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, showing that he understood what Yang Yi meant.
Although it is not difficult to make a passage on the ground, they do not know the specific location of the spacecraft, and it may damage the spacecraft. There is no such problem when entering from the crater. As for the high temperature in the volcano, it is obviously not a big deal to the two powerhouses with sacred objects. In addition, if you make a hole in the ground, your whereabouts will be exposed, and at least there will be traces that two people have been here.
Entering the crater, Amy followed Yang Yi.
Although the high temperature is not a threat, Amy can't see anything in the crater, and her ability to perceive the fluctuation of the original energy is obviously not as good as Yang Yi.
Fortunately, Yang Yi knew which direction to head in.
Not long after, the two got out of the magma. It is still inside the volcano, but in a huge room made of a special material.
"This… "
"We should be inside the spaceship." Yang Yi pointed to the door behind him. They came in from there, but Amy hadn't seen it before. "Obviously, the material used to make the hull of the spacecraft can withstand the high temperature of magma, and there is an energy circulation device on the spacecraft."
Amy nodded, saying nothing.
They are indeed inside the spacecraft, a spacecraft built more than 15,000 years ago to send refugees from the Galactic Alliance to the Southern Alpha Galaxy.
Of course, this is also a spacecraft built by mankind more than 15,000 years ago using the most advanced technology at the time.
Because the long-distance navigation across the star system has been taken into account during construction, these spacecrafts are not only equipped with powerful large-scale primary energy converters, but also have a complete ecosystem. Simply put, a spaceship is a small ecosystem that can continue to operate for tens of thousands of years. As long as the original energy converter on the spacecraft is still working, the ecosystem on the spacecraft can operate normally. However, when building these spacecrafts, no one knows what the vast universe between star systems is like, such as whether there is enough original energy, so human scientists thought of the need to improve the efficiency of energy utilization when designing them. It is also equipped with an energy circulation system for the spacecraft. Simply put, it is to minimize the loss and make full use of the limited energy.
As for the materials of the hull, especially the outer shell, it is not only extremely strong, but also resistant to high temperatures, and can still maintain basic physical properties in environments with huge temperature differences. Otherwise, these spacecraft will not be able to remain intact during the long voyage.
Obviously, the design service life of this spacecraft must be more than 10,000 years.
As long as it is not damaged, perhaps the equipment on this spacecraft can continue to operate for tens of thousands of years or even longer. In fact, this suffices to show that the human beings of the Second Age are indeed powerful and the technology they have mastered is also extremely advanced, otherwise it would be impossible to build such a durable spacecraft.
