Chapter 145 Going Underground

This is a huge underground space, located under the base of the Glitter Woodland, in the lair of the original Chibcha.

This place was once bombed by Lin, and now it has been remodeled into an underground cave suitable for a base. The surrounding walls are still made of crystals. In order to commemorate the chibcha bug, Lin built several pure crystals in the center of this place. Each of the statues represents a different form of the chibusa insect, but the crystal-scale lizards have no statues, and there are many lizards in the Twisted Jungle.

Now, though, Lynn is building something even more special.

Hundreds of troops are gathering here, most of them are a special kind of 'shell coater', they can secrete a variety of chitin substances in their bodies and spray them out through their mouths, and they are crawling on a giant On the unit, complete the final project for it.

This unit is much more difficult to complete than Behemoth. After all, Behemoth doesn't actually have a shell, but only has thick skin, but this unit needs a perfect shell and must be completed with the help of other units, and Lin also dug a Very long caves to put it in.

But when it's done, Rin thinks it's all worth it...? That's not necessarily, because I haven't tested it, and because there are a lot of resources, so Lin would want to build it. In fact, it is quite troublesome to build. If it is an emergency, it is unlikely to build such a huge resource and time. military.

The total length is 73 meters, and the diameter is as much as six meters. The whole body is covered with armor made of high hardness and mixed with spider silk. This is a huge soldier created by Lin after Behemoth.

Originally, I wanted to design it to more than 100 meters, but Lin found that it was meaningless if it was too long. It is now about the same weight as the Infernal Worm. But the body is almost the same diameter. It's not like a purgatory worm with a big head and a thin tail.

This worm type is mainly used to explore the ground. Its head is a huge 'drill', which can be used to drill through solid rocks, and this 'drill' can also be opened, and the inside is covered with barb-like The sawtooth can swallow rocks and crush or dissolve it in the body. This is a unit purely used for escaping exploration, but it can also be used in warfare.

There are three more than 30 meters long beside them. Smaller worm-type troops with a diameter of one meter, they burrow into the ground around the giant worms, and can provide a lot of help, such as spraying dissolving liquid, providing energy, repairing the shell, etc. Usually, they can insert themselves into the side of the giant worm's body. Within the groove of the armor, it does not hinder the movement, and it is a very convenient helper.

The giant worm itself doesn't spit out solution, and unlike Behemoths. The giant worm does not make small troops, and it has no related organs in it. Its whole body is constructed of a large number of muscles, including some new types of muscle cells such as spider silk toughness. Driven by this enormous force, even the strongest rock formations can be drilled.

...though this is just speculation,

Because the test has not been carried out yet, but Lin thinks there is no problem.

It's called... what? Lin didn't think of any interesting names for the time being. Lin wanted to get a name like Behemoth or Leviathan, but she couldn't find anything similar. For now, she named it 'Pioneer'.

After applying the last husk substance, Lin asked all the huskers to withdraw, and after they reached a safer distance, Lin began to try to move the body of the 'Pioneer'.

'boom……'

The pioneers just moved their body a little, and the entire crystal cave trembled. Lin felt that there was no problem with the muscle deployment. Sometimes, the body was too heavy, but the muscle strength was not enough, which would make it impossible to move or get tired easily. However, the current structure is used. More and more advanced, basically no such problem.

Powerful muscles also consume a lot of energy, but as long as Lin's arms are inactive, they will enter a dormant state, and usually consume little energy.

It is difficult for pioneers to advance on land. Generally speaking, it can only be described as moving slowly, or it will roll like a head bug... But as long as it goes underground...

Lin asked the pioneers to lift their heads and slammed into the ground shaped by the crystals. With a loud noise, countless crystal fragments were scattered in the sky, and the ground was knocked out into a huge pothole. Embed your head in this pothole and your whole body starts to spin!

With the spiral pattern on the head drill, the pioneers easily drilled through the ground of the crystal, and then its 73-meter body also spun together. The moment its huge body spun, the entire cave suddenly turned. It began to tremble continuously, and the surrounding crystalline walls also cracked, and the entire cave was now like the scene of the collapse of the underground world.

This seems inappropriate.

Lin doesn't like to cause too much damage and vibration to the surrounding environment when burrowing into the ground. In normal times, it will cause a lot of unnecessary damage, and in war, it will not be able to achieve the effect of sneak attack.

So Lin changed Pioneer's drilling speed to slow down the shaking of her body. Through calculation, Lin moved forward in a more stable way.

Under Lin's changes, the vibration of the cave began to gradually become gentle, and the noise became much smaller, until the pioneers drilled the whole body into the ground, and did not cause too much damage around.

Then do some more testing!

The pioneers then began to advance underground. By constantly rotating their bodies, the soil and rock layers were crushed under the huge drill bit. The pioneers reversed the direction underground and rushed towards the crystal cave again.

With a bang, the pioneer's huge head suddenly rushed out of the ground. At the moment it appeared, its body was still spinning, just like a giant monster jumping out of the water, followed by the pioneer. The constantly rotating body touched the ground again, and under the splash of crystal fragments, the pioneers quickly drilled back into the ground.

Apart from leaving two large holes in the ground, there was no extra damage to the ground by this method of 'jumping out of the water', which Lin was quite satisfied with.

If it were going in a smooth fashion, it would be a lot slower, but at least it would be faster than the head bug's airship.

Although the pioneers have eyeballs on the drill bits and the head can also glow, Lin can only see a lot of mud and gravel, apparently moving underground, and the pioneers cannot confirm where they are, so Lin needs a pilot Follow the flight in the sky to confirm the position of the pioneers.

That's pretty simple.

Slowly advancing underground, after the pioneers drilled a lot of dirt, Lin found that the front was suddenly filled with rocks and sand, and it was already under the desert.

The head worm is also almost above this position. It has now fully recovered and is planning to continue flying to the desert. It may really want to deal with the Inca swarm, so Lynn will probably stop them when they fight fiercely.

And Lin's goal is the sea. In the sea, the power of the pioneers can be fully exerted. If she obtains the shell material of the purgatory worm, Lin can even let the pioneers challenge... lava. (To be continued...)
