Volume 19 Chapter 246 Factory?
Looking down from the air, the jungle is no longer a factor blocking the view. On the contrary, the small open space that appeared in a large green jungle became abnormally obvious due to the huge color contrast. It would be fine if there was no one to fly here under normal circumstances, but the sickle could just take me to the top of the cave, so that it would be obvious that the lice on the bald head would be.
"That's the other side, hurry up." While notifying Emmenis with spiritual contact, I directed the sickle to swing towards that position.
In American comics, Spider-Man moves very fast, and the facts also prove that using spider silk to move forward is indeed quite fast. We only flew to the vicinity of the open space in a few dozen seconds, and then when we were about to reach the sky above the open space, the sickle decisively bit off the spider silk. After losing the traction of the spider silk, we did not land immediately, but continued to fly forward along the inertia that had swung before. At this time, when we started to fall, we happened to reach the sky above the open space.
Since the sickle cuts the clues perfectly, we almost directly hit the center of the open space. With the help of eight long arthropods, the sickle made a perfect landing. Not only did it not slide forward, but the impact of the falling was completely absorbed by his long legs. I rode on his back and felt a slight sense of falling, and there was no obvious sign of impact at all.
After the sickle fell steadily, I immediately turned over and jumped off the sickle's back, and then I ran directly to the strange device in the center of the open space and observed it.
The device, which is vertical in the center of this open space, is quite strange in shape. Its main body is a circular column with a height of about four meters. On the top of the column, three metal strips extend out like a helicopter rotary blade. However, the metal strips are not spread horizontally, but are bent downward and connected to the position about three meters above the ground. Moreover, these three blades are not bent vertically, but have a moving rotation angle. For example, the bottom end of the blade facing me is turned around to the right and rear of the column before connecting to the column, while the bottom end of the blade on the top is connected to the left and rear of the column.
To be honest, this strange blade structure is quite rare, but it is only rare, not completely unseen. At least I have seen this kind of thing, but not in the game, but in reality. I remember it was on a boat, and the device at that time was very small at the time, with a total height of only about one meter, but the structure was exactly the same as this thing. I remember that I asked about the function of this thing, and the people on the boat told me that it was an anemometer, which was used to measure the wind speed.
It is normal to install an anemometer on a boat, no matter how weird its shape is. However, what can this thing do in this underground cave? Since we came in, I have never felt any wind existed here. There is very little wind in the cave located underground, and there is also a large area of tropical rainforest growing here. Not to mention that this is in the cave deep underground, there is no wind in the deep rainforest of South America. After all, the blockage of airflow by trees is caused by trees.
The ability is really too strong. Maybe there may be wind at the location higher than the treetops, but the height of the thing in front of us is only a little over four meters, and the shortest trees around are more than six meters. Surrounded by a circle of trees of this height, even if this thing is an anemometer, I guess it will not be able to measure the real wind speed. Moreover, now without wind at all, this thing is spinning itself, and the speed is quite fast. Although it is not as good as the leaves that cannot even see clearly, there is still a speed of two seconds per circle.
"Brigit, help me see what this is." Everett was digging out the electromagnetic railgun outside, so he could only help Brigitte, who is also a constructed creature. No matter what, the constructed creature's own body is also composed of machinery, so they are born to know more about mechanical systems than we do.
After being summoned, Brigitte immediately cast two green lights from his eyes and swept the thing up and down several times, then said: "There is a heat source reaction inside the cylinder cavity. It is suspected that there is geothermal resources connected to the bottom of the cylinder. The area around the cylinder is also a simple energy collector that uses the rising hot air flow, and a transmission device is connected to the bottom of it."
"You mean this is a windmill?"
"Structurally, yes." Brigitte replied affirmatively.
"So where is the power being transmitted?"
"The power generated by the windmill operation is transmitted to the ground, and I can see through the large number of cavity below the surface, and there should be an underground building complex under our feet."
"It seems we have found the target." I looked around and asked Brigitte: "Can you see where the entrance is?"
When Brigitte heard my question, she did not answer immediately. Instead, she scanned all directions with her eyes, and finally didn't even let go of the ground. However, she finally found the entrance.
"You said we were standing on the entrance?"
"Yes." Brigitte replied affirmatively: "The signal sent back through electromagnetic radiation scanning can be confirmed that the power of this windmill is connected to a simple conveying device."
"It's actually an elevator that uses geothermal energy to work." After sighing, I began to look for a way to open the elevator together. However, after searching for a circle, I couldn't find where the switch was. In the end, Brigitte used her perspective ability to scan the underground structure before confirming that the switch was inside the elevator. Now the elevator is closed, which means we are standing on the top of the elevator.
Although the elevator switch was not found, Brigitte's discovery made me sure that one thing was confirmed, that is, the owner here might be living here alone.
This inference is actually easy to understand. If there are more than one person living here, then designing such an elevator will face a problem, that is, once one person comes out, the person inside will be trapped and died, because when the elevator rises up, the person below cannot lower it, and can only wait for the person outside to come back to lower the elevator back down, so that others can use the elevator again. Similarly, if a few people come out together, if they don’t come back together, the person who comes back first drives the elevator down, and the person who comes back later can only find a way to call the person below to drive the elevator up and pick him up, otherwise he will not be able to operate the elevator himself. Obviously, such a setting is quite inconvenient. People who are capable of designing such an elevator will definitely not do such a stupid thing, so the only reason to explain is that there is only one owner here, and he does not need to consider the issue of entering and exiting the second person.
Although it was roughly speculated that there was only one owner here, we still couldn't open the elevator. In the end, there was no way, I had to get the pepper back through Ling, who was still in charge of excavation work on the passage. The pepper's mental power field can move objects with thoughts, and it can be used even if it is separated. However, the thicker the partition, the more severe the power will be weakened. Fortunately, I just needed her to turn the switch of the elevator, and the thickness of the ground was less than half a meter, which had little impact on the pepper's mental power field.
After Chili controlled the electric switch to push up, we immediately heard a metal friction sound, and the speed of the windmill on it slowed down significantly, and the ground under our feet began to slowly rise.
Since the upward airflow is very small, the power of the windmill can only be increased by gear sets to drive the elevator. However, the output power of the windmill will not change after the force is increased. Therefore, although the elevator is moving, the speed is extremely slow. Fortunately, this is a special elevator, and the up and down distance is only a few meters. If an ordinary building is equipped with such an elevator, I guess most people would rather climb stairs. Just the speed of this thing, if you go to the 10th and 8th floors, you would have to wait for an hour?
Seeing that the thing rose less than a foot high after a long time like a snail, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I simply asked Brigitte to grab the windmill and help speed it up. Since it was a constructed creature, Brigitte's joints could rotate infinitely, so she could grab the windmill and rotate at high speed to help it accelerate.
Sure enough, the elevator speed on the windmill was significantly faster as soon as it got up, but due to the gear ratio, it took several minutes to lift the whole thing to the ground.
As I expected, the elevator that was lifted was not very big, and this thing was not square, but a circular space. With the size of the space here, it is estimated that four to five people can stand at the same time, and they must be squeezed together.
I was about to go down to take a look when I suddenly heard someone shouting. When I looked up, I found that Sulun and Emmenis were coming. Since they arrived, I would just put away Emmenis and the demons. Anyway, after going down, Emmenis doesn't need to eliminate the illusion.
After putting away the magic pet, I stood on the elevator with Su Lun, pulled the guillotine-like switch down, and the elevator immediately began to descend. Fortunately, the designer here is not too stupid. He knows that there is no need for wind power when descending, just a reduction device is enough, so our descent speed is obviously much faster than when we came up.
Since the elevator has only half a circle of walls and no doors are installed, we saw the situation below before the elevator landed. As for what we expected, there is not a place like an ancient tomb or a magic tower. Of course, I mean the style is different. As for whether the above two types of things are included, we have to wait until the investigation is completed to know. However, as far as what we see in front of us, there are more factories here than ruins.
Behind the elevator is a wall, and there is a corridor in front of it, but it is not a special corridor connecting the elevator, but a passage. This corridor is horizontal. The elevator descends in the middle of the corridor, and there are roads on both sides. However, what we are paying attention to now is not the roads on both sides, but the pipes on the walls of the passage. Almost no rocks behind are visible on the walls of the entire corridor, and countless pipes of varying thickness are arranged on the walls. Some pipes extend out of the ceiling and walk horizontally in the passage.
One section was inserted into the ground, and some pipes were led out of the wall on one side, and then walked around the ceiling for a while and then suddenly turned into the opposite wall. Of course, there were more pipes arranged along the passage and there was no end to see on both sides. At that moment, I felt like I had reached the main power area of Aisinger. The magic pipes there were similar to this one, but they were not as dense as here. Fortunately, these pipes were just arranged quietly there, without a little steam spraying from the east or a few drops of water leaking from the west, otherwise I would definitely think this was the production workshop of a chemical factory.
"Where are we going?" Su Lun asked after looking around.
"Please, you are the guide, you asked me?"
"But I haven't been here!"
"Then just do whatever you want." I turned to the left and said, "Go here first, don't find anything before going to the other side."
Su Lun nodded and quickly followed my steps, but I took two steps and stopped again. After thinking about it, I summoned a large group of death guards to guard the elevator. In this way, if something comes over there, at least I can give me a warning.
After arranging the guard of Death, we walked along the passage. Fortunately, the passage was not long and there was no fork. After walking a short distance, we heard a buzzing sound, and as we continued to move forward, the sound became louder and louder. Soon after we reached the end of the passage, we saw a curtain door like a strip of curtain hanging at the entrance of the mall. However, the door in front of us was not made of plastic rubber, but cotton, which looked like a quilt, astonishingly thick.
We were quite surprised when we first saw this curtain, but when we lifted it, we knew why such a thick cotton curtain was hung here. On the side of the curtain, we could hear a clear roar of machines, but the sound was just like a starting truck. However, after we lifted the curtain, the starting truck immediately turned into an airplane, and it was a plane taking off.
"Is this a factory?"
"What did you say?" After I finished speaking, Su Lun shouted at me with a blank look on his face. He only heard what I said, but couldn't hear what I said in detail, because the noise here was too loud and he had to shout loudly to let others hear what you said.
I waved my hand and didn't shout to Su Lun. I directly signaled him to follow, and then continued to move forward. One meter away from the curtain door was a door, but this door was covered with a thick layer of animal skin, which was probably also used for sound insulation. The sound here was already loud enough, but I didn't expect it to be a sound that was separated by the door. If there was no such door in front of me, the sound would have to deafen people's ears.
After looking at Su Lun, I turned around and shouted to him, "The sound inside must be very loud. You can stuff your ears and then put in. If you have something to do, make gestures. If you don't work, use this." As I said, I handed him a crystal as big as a mobile phone. "Get this thing and think of what you want to say, this crystal will translate your words into text and display them. If you have any words, use this thing to communicate with me."
Su Lun took the crystal curiously and tried it, and found that it could indeed show the words he thought, so he nodded to show that he understood and found something to stuff his ears.
After confirming that Su Lun was ready, I also put down my helmet mask and activated the sound insulation function to adjust the noise around me that was almost inaudible before I dared to push the door. Almost the moment I pushed open the door, I had lowered it to the same noise as a mosquito hum, and suddenly it turned into the noise level of a civilian car. Although it didn't sound very noisy, this was the noise after I adjusted the sound insulation effect of the helmet. I guess if I took off my helmet now, Lima's eardrum would have ruptured.
Su Lun's earbuds obviously do not have the sound insulation ability as good as my helmet, so he quickly covered his ears as soon as he came in, but it seemed that it was very hard to see how he looked. I looked at the second door curtain that appeared behind the door, and simply took out the crystal and asked Su Lun to go out and wait for me first. Su Lun saw the door curtain in front and knew that the back was probably noisier than here, so he didn't hesitate, and said, waiting outside and turned around and ran out.
After seeing Su Lun go out, I turned around and closed the soundproofing door, then turned down the volume of the helmet again before I dared to lift the curtain in front. This curtain was like the first one, just like a quilt. After lifting the curtain, the noise increased again, but I have adjusted the soundproofing effect, so the sound is still acceptable now.
The passage behind the door curtain ended. What appeared in front of me was a huge horizontal room. At the foot of me was a metal hanging ladder, which was at least ten meters high from the ground of the room in front of me. The room was a very regular rectangular body, with a length of about eight hundred meters on the left and right directions. The width from me to the opposite wall was about one hundred meters, which means that the room was at least eighty thousand square meters. In addition, the height of this room was about fifty meters. The escalator I was standing on was located in the middle and lower part of the wall. Although it was more than ten meters away from the ground, it was actually less than half the height of the room.
This huge room is quite clean, with the surrounding walls and ceilings composed of smooth stone slabs, and there are no traces of protrusions or gaps on the surface. There is nothing complicated or messy inside the room, and only six identical giants are arranged neatly in the room.
The appearance of this machine can basically be divided into three parts, first of which is a base. This part is circular, and is about seventy meters directly. The base height is about fifteen meters, and the bottom ten meters are basically perpendicular to the ground. At the top five meters, the upper part begins to narrow evenly inward to form a top platform with a diameter of about sixty meters. The second part of the machine is vertical in the center of this platform. This part is also cylindrical, with a diameter of about fifty-five meters and a height of more than twenty meters. However, its edges are not flat, but are composed of concave and convex structures. These concave and convex structures look like the edges of gears.
Since the upper part is much thinner than the lower part, there is a circle of platforms to walk around the top of the lower structure, and there are railings outside. Obviously, people often walk on it. I also found that there is a metal ladder on the edge of the lower layer connecting the ground, which is obviously convenient for up and down.
In addition to these two main parts, the third main part is the pipes connected to the bottom of the machine. These pipes are about fifty, the thickest ones are three, and the other thick and thick, but they look neatly arranged and do not appear messy. After these pipes extend out of the base of the machine, they will be bent immediately and then inserted vertically into the ground. I don’t know where the lower part is connected.
