Chapter 146 Drilling Into the Deep Sea

'boom……! ’

On the edge of the cliff on the coast, the rock wall composed of black rocks suddenly burst open, and a huge creature drilled out of the big hole that burst out, and it spun at a high speed and rushed into the sea water.

When the pioneer's rotating body rushed into the sea from the rock wall, the polluted black sea water around it also swirled like a vortex, expanding on the water surface like a black whirlwind, waiting for the pioneer's body of 73 meters in length. When it completely entered the water, the vortex slowly dissipated.

Finally reached the sea.

The pioneers swayed their bodies in the water, and Lin found that swimming in the sea was much easier than swimming in the ground. She could rotate and swim, and she could also swim in the shape of an 'S', which was quite free.

Although it soon sank to the bottom of the sea.

Excessive body leads to excessive weight, although the pioneers can quickly swallow the air to float, but Lin was going to go to the bottom of the sea.

On the seabed full of corpses, many ancient squid swim around, grabbing long bone fragments to pick apart the corpse, looking for tiny creatures hiding under the bones as food, occasionally occurring between them The act of fighting for food, but at this point there will be a third to stop the fight between the two, while some ancient squid are paired together, and they build small nests of bones and stones, intending to breed in them offspring.

There are no natural enemies here, only food everywhere, the ancient squid can say that they are carefree, and just as they were enjoying this peaceful life, a huge shadow suddenly appeared from above.

It was so huge that some of the ancient squids were even so stunned, their thoughts were filled with the emotion of 'surprise', which seemed to hinder the emotion of 'fear'.

More ancient squid fled into cracks in the seabed and beneath the tougher trilobite carapace, sticking their heads out to watch the troll's movements in the sea in horror.

The body of this monster kept spinning, and the strong current it brought swept up the corpses and sand on the seabed, forming a storm of corpses under the seabed, and countless ancient squid were also swept up in the storm. Accompanied by this storm, the monster headed to the seabed, and the rocks on the seabed were easily drilled by it, and the entire huge body followed its head into the ground.

After its extremely long body completely burrowed into the ground, the storm on the seabed finally stopped, and many ancient squids swam out of the messed up corpses and gathered around the big hole drilled by the monster. They're constantly changing colors and waving tentacles, are they talking about giant monsters?

There were even two of the ancient squid fighting while the color kept changing.

There seems to be a problem of disagreement.

However, some more daring ancient squids actually swam into this giant hole.

Lynn's flyers also followed the pioneers into the sea and were observing them.

Actually. Lin has never been clear about what the word 'bold' is about. Bold means fearlessness. However, 'gall' is a common organ in living organisms, which is used to secrete a substance that helps dissolve and absorb. The liquid of the food has nothing to do with the fear or not of the thoughts in the head.

This makes Lin wonder if some words are a little wrong...

But these ancient squids are really interesting, bigger-brained creatures. There will always be some strange manifestations, but these creatures are not the subject of Lynn's current research.

The pioneers drilled through the rock formations on the seabed and moved towards the trench. Lin found that the rocks on the seabed were softer than those on the ground. Could it be because they had been soaking in the sea for too long?

The drill bit on the pioneer's head is also its mouth. It cracks the mouth slightly and swallows a small amount of sand and stone to analyze it in the body to confirm the composition of these rocks. Useless stones are expelled from the tail, while useful ones are quickly broken down and assembled into husks in the body.

Lin made the pilots swim with the pioneers on the seabed where the pioneers were. Lin found that the movement of the pioneers would cause slight vibrations on the seabed, and these slight vibrations would cause some cracks, and these cracks would grow more and more. Growing up can lead to something bigger, with many chaffites breaking away from the seabed due to fissures. Go up.

Lin felt that the entire seabed was relatively loose. It must have been affected by the previous sea earthquake. I wonder if there will be any major problems again... If there is another sea earthquake or something, the sea that has finally recovered will be restored. The same model as before.

The pioneers have approached the direction of the trench. Lin asked the pioneers to slowly drill deeper, and in the rock inside, Lin found some purgatory worm crustal ingredients.

'boom! ’

Suddenly, the pioneer's eyes lit up, it was drilling out of the rock wall of the trench, it continued to advance, and rushed directly into the opposite rock wall.

But at this time, the pioneer suddenly stopped moving, and a part of its body was like a bridge between the rock walls on both sides of the trench. After stopping for a while, the pioneer began to rotate and move again. This time Lin Drilling straight up, along with the shaking of the seabed, the pioneers drilled out near the trench.

Detection is complete.

At a depth of about 100 meters in the trench, Lin found that there were a lot of chitins similar to purgatory worms in the ground. In the future, Lin planned to call this chitin as 'purgatory chitin', and planned to place it here. collect them.

The pioneer itself is not responsible for collection, it is only responsible for drilling out the channel and exploring. What really starts to collect is the attached worms it carries. They escape from the carapace around the pioneer and then enter the channel that the pioneer just drilled. middle.

The heads of the worms glowed. Lin found that the tunnel drilled by the pioneer was full of cracks, but it should not collapse so easily, but if you drill holes in the mud or sand, basically these drilled holes Caves are immediately filled with sand from the collapse, and when a hole is drilled in the rock, the cave generally remains stable for a period of time.

Lin needs to start digging when they are stable, and the three worms start to work together. One releases the 'Gatherer' troops for digging here, while the other rotates and drills a lot of powder on the cave wall. The gatherer is responsible for collecting these worms. Powder, while another swims back to the pioneers to extract more nutrients to create gatherers and build a base at the same time.

In addition to muscles, the pioneers also store a large amount of nutrients. In addition to being used for their own activities, they can also be taken out to create more troops.

A large number of collectors were created, and they began to collect crustal matter in the cave, and all the crustal matter would be transported back to the built base. When the base was full, it would lift off and fly back to the twisted jungle.

The pioneer itself is not used as a base, it just drills a tunnel that can be dug, and then set up a base and move on.

After loading the worms back on the body again, the pioneers began to rotate their body again. This time, it swallowed a large amount of air by relying on the pores on the surface of the carapace. The air was distributed to each part of the pioneer's body. Its huge body is full of buoyancy and can swim forward in the sea.

Lin wants to try the second ability of the pioneers - filtering.

The pioneers quickly rotated their bodies and swam to the upper layer of the sea. The upper layer of the sea was full of black seawater containing various toxins, and Lin's filtration system could cope with this toxin. The mouth is fully opened, and while swimming at high speed, it swallows a huge amount of black seawater, which is filtered and decomposed in the internal organs of the pioneers.

Unlike ordinary worms, the body of the pioneer is not a esophagus that goes straight to the tail. It only has a small part of the esophagus at the front, and a system composed of a large number of organs at the back. These organs can be used to decompose and filter such things, including gravel. , toxin, is a complex and complete system.

Usually when a pioneer swallows a boulder, it can be ground into powder in the esophagus and then swallowed and decomposed, but water does not need to be ground, so the filtration speed is very fast, the water is decomposed from beginning to end, and the filtration only takes tens of seconds. The filtered water is discharged at the trailblazer's tail.

The pioneers continuously swallowed a large amount of polluted seawater, and radiated clean water from the tail, while the toxic substances were compressed into a small ball by the pioneers in the body and discharged separately.

It seems that there is no sense in it, Lin still hasn't solved those toxic substances in the end... Let's let them disperse automatically in the water.

But the Trailblazer's filtration system wasn't designed to do this in the first place.

After advancing for a while in the black sea area, the pioneers lowered their heads and went downstream. As the pioneers dived down, the surrounding light became darker and darker. Under the darkness that could not be seen, the pioneers turned on their own lighting system. Illuminating the surrounding environment, the vast seabed appeared in front of Lin's eyes again...

There are many huge stone pillar protrusions on this seabed, and at the tips of the stone pillars, a large amount of black smoke will be spewed intermittently.

This is a volcano on the sea floor... one of a kind, but they're better called sea geysers.

This is relatively common. The smoke they spray is mixed with a lot of impurities, including a lot of nutritious substances. The pioneers swim to the top of one of the fountain pillars. When the smoke is sprayed, the pioneers open their mouths at the same time The smoke engulfs it, decomposes it in the body, filters it, and obtains a large amount of nutrients.

In the ocean with few organisms, the pioneers must completely rely on these seabed fountains to obtain nutrients, or they can also eat a large amount of seabed mud and other decomposition to obtain nutrients.

The pioneer's filter system allows it to get a lot of food in the turbid mud or the smoke of the hydrothermal vents, so that it can travel far in the sea, and as its name, the pioneer is used by Lin to explore unknown areas. Yes, but not limited to the underground. After testing various abilities, Lin decided to use it to explore more distant places...

For example, other continents. (To be continued...)
