Chapter 84 Ice and Snow World(1/2)
Fragments of the Kingdom of Clouds and Mist·Unknown World.
Huhuhu~
The strong wind blew crazily on Xia Xiu's cheeks, and the biting chill made him realize that the place he was in was definitely not Terra. Settling in the ice and snow, as an "indigenous" from Terra, he first felt
It's just uniquely desolate and cold.
At this moment, the [Icefield Walker] under Xia Xiutong's feet was in a freezing blizzard. The huge amphibious ship was floating on a huge ice ocean. Countless pieces of ice were following the undercurrent and fearing no death.
The impact hit the steel ship.
[drop--]
[Current surface temperature: about -150℃]
[Current oxygen concentration: extremely low!]
[The airflow density in this area is almost zero!]
[Start adaptive mode——]
The EVE particles in Xia Xiu's body began to spread throughout his body under the operation of the [Torino Type I] module, and unique reality distortions began to occur around him, and he also took this time to carefully look at his surroundings.
Looking around, the towering mountains almost touch the starry sky. Their peaks are covered with thick white snow, reflecting dazzling light.
These mountains with an altitude of more than 8,000 meters act as natural barriers, keeping the basins behind them relatively warm and away from the chilling cold current.
Before Xia Xiu could be shocked by these spectacular peaks, he quickly realized that these peaks were also an invisible cage.
They change the direction of the wind, causing strong cold currents to be directed to the sea.
Looking up, the distant sea area has been covered by a dark storm cloud, and lightning is constantly flashing across it, illuminating the darkness. This is a sea super storm that persists all year round. It seems to be telling everyone who lives here
Living creatures and sea routes have been blocked, unable to break through this natural barrier.
In this basin of less than 200,000 square kilometers, if there is civilization, then the entire civilization will be trapped in this huge basin, and the outside world seems to be out of reach for them
Heaven.
Moreover, what is even more bizarre is the starry sky above.
There is a huge broken gas giant floating above. Different from the stars in Terra's night sky and the flowing Milky Way, the starry sky here is completely different from Terra's starry sky. The starry sky here is like an unfinished work of art.
What unfolded before our eyes was a nebula composed of colorful gas and stardust. They rolled and spread in the dark night sky, like a huge oil painting.
Different colors intertwine to form a dazzling spectrum.
Every ray of light and every color is shocking.
However, behind this nebula is a dead night sky.
Broad and colorful nebulae spread across the night sky, as if spread by some huge force. They seem to swallow up other stars, making them dim.
Only a few sporadic stars in the distance are still shining hard, and the stardust seems to be driven by some mysterious force, constantly rotating and dancing in the nebula.
"In a near-zero vacuum environment, this place is no longer Terra. It was promised that it would only be responsible for transnational business. When did it become cross-planet (plane) business?
This is outrageous. The briefing did not tell me that this business trip to the Country of Sea of Fog also included interstellar travel. Terra’s death-seeking business has expanded so fast. I don’t think humans can do this.
Colonize where you shit.”
The golden-haired social animal couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
He now understood a little bit why Iberia didn't say a word about the incident in the Country of Sea of Mist.
After experiencing the attack of the Paradox, the flashbacks, and the arduous journey through the sea of fog, we arrived at this place where nothing matters.
The environment alone here can eliminate most of the thaumaturges. The first is the problem that the vacuum environment needs to solve.
In a vacuum, the external pressure is much lower than the pressure in the human body. Therefore, the gas in most living organisms will rapidly expand and try to escape. This will cause gas embolism in the body and damage to body tissues; and because there is no air, the human body will
Unable to breathe, symptoms of hypoxia will soon appear; at the same time, low pressure will cause water to evaporate rapidly, and body fluids (such as saliva and the fluid on the eyeballs) to boil and evaporate.
There is also the environment here, which is basically covered by storms, and due to the vacuum environment, the heat here can only be transferred through radiation, not convection or conduction.
Of course, the vacuum here is still a common sense vacuum, that is, a vacuum is not empty.
You know, even in the present universe, there is no absolute perfect vacuum.
Fortunately, the gravity here is almost the same as Terra, so there is no problem of floating and weightlessness.
"Meow~"
A gentle cat meow sounded from Xia Xiu's shoulder, that was Gray Feng's meow.
He turned his head subconsciously, then stretched out his hand to rub the other person's cat head. Gray Feng narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, and then, the huge engine on the ship began to roar.
The huge ice ocean stretches beyond the horizon, and in the silence there is only the howling of the cold wind and the sound of the ice breaking. This is a huge, cold and silent world, but what is about to happen will destroy the tranquility of this ice sheet.
.
In the silence, a deep roar sounded in the distance, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding silence.
Subsequently, the frost and fog on the ice surface were dispersed by violent vibrations, revealing broken ice cubes.
On this fragmented ice sheet, a huge metal behemoth is starting its engine. The body of the rambler is like a huge mechanical fortress, covered with intricate gears, steam pipes and rust. Its surface is covered with countless
Covered with unclear rivets and armor plates, it reveals a steampunk-style industrial beauty. Behind it, steam continuously emerges from several tall chimneys, mixes with the cold air, and turns into white clouds.
When its engine was fully started, the huge ship began to smash into the ice floes in its path. The powerful impact caused the ice cubes to instantly shatter and scatter with splashes of water.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Every ice floe on the ice field seems to be an enemy broken by the ice field walker, and they collapse one by one under the feet of the giant beast.
[Ice Walker] seems to have been created specifically for this environment. Its building type was originally positioned as a logistics support platform and does not participate in frontline battles. It is mainly used to provide logistical support and carry supplies.
As the captain of Gray Wind, Xia Xiu initially thought that the [Icefield Slow Walker] was used by Iberia to develop the polar regions in the north and south of the Sea of Chaos. After all, this kind of amphibious one also carries a deicing shovel in front.
Apart from using it to develop the polar regions, he really couldn't think of any other use for his mechanical creation.
Moreover, the gray scenery has a dead weight of 1,600 tons, and its carrying capacity is 2,200 tons of supplies.
For such a large load capacity, [Icefield Walker] needs extremely strong support and propulsion, so the engine it uses can only be an ether furnace driven by EVE particles. Otherwise, just burning oil will consume a lot of energy.
resources will be doubled.
Gray Wind's armament has no additional armor except for four 950mm short caliber guns for self-defense and a deicing shovel for obstacle clearance.
From the perspective of a powerful party, Gray Wind is an event card drawn from the limited-time version.
Unless major changes are made, it is destined to be thrown into the inventory to eat dust after the event is over, or used as a summons for a specific operator like a dog, to assist the administration in performing tasks.
"The [Ice Walker] encountered in the battle of Paradox, the flashback clip met Pedro Miguelset, the maker of the Walker, and now this is the chosen version of the place suitable for the Walker·
····”
While Xia Xiu rubbed Hui Feng, he squinted his golden eyes and looked at the huge ice and snow basin approaching in front of him.
When so many coincidences are added together, it is no longer a coincidence.
He soon realized that everything in the Country of Sea of Mist was akin to a trial, no, or should I say so, it was akin to a kind of screening and identification.
The first is the paradox of time and space. This is the first screening and identification.
Ordinary thaumaturges simply cannot solve those piles of paradoxes, such as the [Lords] of the Night. It is no problem at all to fight the paradoxes alone, but once the paradoxes gather in groups, the night
The only option is to run away.
Therefore, this first threshold can eliminate a large number of thaumaturges.
The subsequent navigation of the flashback fragments requires the thaumaturge to maintain his own self-awareness and avoid being swallowed up in the huge flashback fragments.
After passing the first two levels, you will have to face a harsh climate environment similar to that of the opening kill.
As long as the person who comes here is not a [Crowned One], after this trip, if you are lucky, you will just be chopped into skins. If you are unlucky, you may be stuck in the level, or stuck in the true sense.
Buzz buzz——
Just as Xia Xiu was thinking, the rambler had arrived at the huge mountain basin ahead.
In this vast area, frozen mountains stand like giant ice sculptures on the snow-covered ground. The walkers slowly began to slow down, preparing to enter this snow-covered land.
At this time, the huge tracks under the amphibious ship began to rotate, and each metal link was filled with snowflakes and cold air, making a metallic collision sound.
The deicing shovel in front of it also started working, and the powerful thrust split the thick snow into two, pushing out a wide plow mark, as if it were the imprint left by a mechanical behemoth on the ice field.
In this endless white snow, the rambler maintains its maximum speed and moves forward steadily.
The huge tracks left deep footprints on the snow, and the huge plow marks became its path, guiding its direction.
Gray Wind: "o(≧▽≦)o"
When the deicing shovel split the snow into two parts, Gray Feng couldn't help but look comfortable and happy.
The green eyes were half-squinted, glowing with a faint light, showing a peaceful and happy expression. Its body was curled into a perfect arc on the owner's shoulders, and its gray hair glowed like silver under the light.
The luster is like a layer of soft frost.
For Gray Wind, the de-icing shovel is similar to a cat-catching stick.
For a gold-hungry captain like Eddisi, this behavior is similar to increasing the favorability (level of spiritual interaction) of the machine soul. As long as the favorability is high, the resonance effect between them and the ship will be stronger.
However, this kind of behavior is unnecessary for Xia Xiu. Although he is not the biological father (maker) of Edifier, he is not much different.
He can now be regarded as Wanderer's adoptive father. After he masters the [Fire Source], his style in the future is destined to be different from other captains.
