Chapter 159 Environment
"What are they, and why are they fighting?" The old man couldn't help but hold on to his reading glasses and move closer. "This shape looks a lot like... a pterosaur from the Jurassic period? Is this... a Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
I'm talking about Jiang Qiqi's shadow.
Jiang Qiqi's shadow has no weapons and can only transform into various forms of dinosaurs.
Su Xiao's shadow remained in human form, but his weapon changed.
Su Xiao also asked, “What is the name of your doomsday plant?”
"Call him Yuanyan Overlord! That name sounds powerful, right?" Jiang Qiqi said.
"What's your ranking?"
"No. 69 in the queue." Jiang Qiqi looked at Lidya Su, "Where's yours?"
"Moyou, ranked 14th." Su Xiao couldn't understand it either.
"What on earth is this?" The oldest academician Luo asked curiously, "Our special survivors have never seen this thing."
"The Doomsday Seeds appeared when the Doomsday Game just started. They were limited in quantity and have never appeared again." After Su Xiao finished speaking, he saw the two shadows get tired of fighting and return to normal.
Jiang Qiqi: "It only makes this noise at night. I still don't know why it makes this noise."
"Time, it can devour the power of time." Su Xiao spoke, and Jiang Qiqi was stunned for a moment.
Hearing Su Xiao say this, several experts suddenly changed their expressions.
Hua Hui spoke solemnly, "As expected, we knew that your visit would be helpful to the experts."
Jiang Qiqi didn't understand.
He came close to Lidya Su and asked, “What is the power of time?”
Su Xiao said, "The black shadow eaten by the doomsday plant carries time. You don't feel it because the power of time has been digested by it, so it has no effect on you. However, ordinary survivors will grow faster after being attacked by time, and age rapidly in disguise."
Said gaze fell on one of the experts who all looked older.
Jiang Qiqi suddenly reacted.
She had met this female academician named Luo twice before.
The last time we met, she looked to be only in her early teens, but now she had a lot of white hair. When she suddenly realized what was happening, her expression froze slightly.
Several experts also moved stiffly, and soon they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
The entrance is made of stone. Acid rain had previously corroded the metal of the entrance, so after renovation it had to be replaced with stone, and it still looked like an ordinary stone staircase entrance.
But this is only the first level of the First City.
In fact, you will only see the geological elevator about 10 meters underground, which is the real entrance.
Huahui authorized the facial recognition to Su Xiao and Jiang Qiqi, and they both had access rights.
The staff member next to him explained: "Survivors who are not members of the search and rescue team do not have the qualifications to leave the dungeon easily after entering it. After this pass is authorized, you can enter the dungeon in Area 17 at any time."
This was said to Su Xiao, because Jiang Qiqi had been here before.
The geological elevator began to move abnormally, gradually descending obliquely. It would take some time to reach a depth of 3,000 meters underground.
Staff: "Before the end of the world, we considered various doomsday disasters and extreme weather. The underground city on the surface is more vulnerable to damage, so we chose to build the underground city at a depth of about 3,000 meters. It is between the crust and the mantle, and its main structure is hot dry rock."
"The reason why the underground city was built in Area 2, Area 8, Area 13, Area 17, Area 21 and Area 27 is because these areas are at higher altitudes. Before the end of the world, the ground temperature at a depth of 3,000 meters in other areas was between 750 and 2,000 degrees, while the ground temperature in these areas was only between 200 and 400 degrees. The building materials used are chromium-nickel alloys with a melting point of around 1,300 to 1,500 degrees, and then thermal insulation materials."
"What about now?" Su Xiao asked, "I mean the ground temperature."
As she descended in depth she did not feel the temperature rising, but rather getting colder.
Staff: "The ground temperature is 0 degrees now. After the Doomsday Era began, the interior of the Blue Planet seemed to have suddenly died and lost its temperature fluctuations."
Academician Luo beside him couldn't help but ask, "Miss Su, the main god body you obtained in the game of Great Drought is the sun. Logically speaking, the source of the sun god has returned to its place, and the sun should not fall forever. But you have your own understanding of the game. I wonder if we can listen to your opinion."
Su Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the eternal fall of the sun is not referring to the old era, but the new era."
Everyone was stunned.
Su Xiao’s statement is very novel.
"Humans are creatures of the old era. They need light, water, oxygen, and food to survive. But do creatures of the new era need these things?"
Su Xiao realized this when he saw Jiang Qiqi's doomsday plant.
“Perhaps the eternal fall of the sun in the Doomsday Game means that without a new Sun God Source, there will be no sun in the new era, and there will be no plants and animals that need the sun to grow. In the Lord God Game, besides the Lord God’s trunk, the most important thing is the Sun God Source. This means that only by returning the Sun God Source to its place can we create environmental conditions for humans to grow and survive in the new era.”
The land of gods that she saw seemed to be at the top of the universe, and after the sun returned to its position, it returned to a corner of the universe, which should be near the blue planet.
Currently, the conditions for the emergence of life on the Blue Planet are water and light. Without the sun, will life appear in the next era of the Blue Planet?
Or does it mean that the creatures of the new era must be "humans"?
Both categories, animals and plants, are definitions given by humans.
But the life that emerges in the new era may not necessarily exist in these two biological forms.
The transformation of the sun and human dependence lies in plants. Plants need photosynthesis to produce oxygen. Without the sun, there will be no oxygen for humans to survive.
Therefore, even if new creatures appear in the new era, they may not necessarily be the humans in the current era who need to rely on oxygen to survive. This may also be one of the reasons why old humans cannot survive in the new era.
The rules of the Doomsday Game require that one obtain the Sun God Source and return it to its place, so that the Lord God can create conditions for human survival in the new era.
The staff next to him recorded what Su Xiao said.
The expert with the name Academician Zhu on his clothes pushed up his glasses and said, "Ms. Su, you just said that the existence of doomsday plants is the power of time. In fact, we can also feel some changes after the advent of the doomsday era. Every time we go out at night, some very small physiological changes will occur, but we didn't pay attention to it at first, until a survivor came to the underground city two days ago."
Lidya Su listened carefully.
"She was a pregnant woman. Before the apocalypse, she was diagnosed to be eighteen weeks pregnant. Just a few days after the apocalypse, her belly was several times bigger than before. We checked her and found that the fetus was at least twenty-eight weeks pregnant."
When Academician Zhu said this, he subconsciously brushed the white hair around his ears. "After the doomsday, human growth has accelerated, but not everyone will experience this."
