Chapter 28 Residents Under the Glacier
"This is... what the world looks like?"
Inside the ark, the displayers showed the conditions of the skeleton dragon and the emerald dragon in various places, including the various islands in the sea, as well as the situation of the dinosaur continent and the current northern continent.
Lin felt that it was necessary to let them know what was going on right now, and 'explain' to them that the world would likely be enveloped by severe cold for a very long time.
They need to live in a completely different place than expected, where there may be no sunlight, but still full of warmth...
For this reason, Lin's ark came to a cliff... This cliff leads to a canyon in the mainland. In the past, the collapse of the cliff caused water to rush in and drown the underground world. After the water receded, it was later for some reason. It caused the water to pour in again, and caused the surrounding collapse, and the place where the water entered was blocked, so the water never exited, but formed a glacier in the canyon.
Lynn believed that there was something warm inside the glaciers in the canyon.
Lin can create organs that produce heat, but if there is a source of warmth, the energy consumed by exporting the heat will be much less.
After all, it may last a long time, until the end of the cold.
Under normal circumstances, Lin does not like to form an ecosystem by herself. This is different from establishing an environment. Lin used to build an environment just to place seeds and creatures to let them grow freely, but it would be interesting to provide warmth and nutrients by herself. The chances of the creature appearing will be lower...
But there is no way now.
But Lin won't make a big place, as long as the creatures here survive, so the cliff that was originally the underground world is a good choice.
At this time. The rocky mountain on the back of the first and second ark opens. A long tentacle sticks out from it. Connected to the cliff in front of the ark.
"Let's go!" Under the leadership of Susumi and Liddell, the skeleton dragon and the emerald dragon climbed up the rock mountain one after another, and followed these tentacles to the cliff.
Skeleton dragons are good at climbing, but a few emerald dragons almost fall.
Lin let them land first. These dragons were all wearing leather equipment for warmth, and even the group of gnomes were wrapped so that they could stay outside to get acquainted with the cold.
In fact, Lin thinks that if the skeletal dragons give birth directly instead of laying eggs like Mao Yu,
They may be able to survive these severe cold periods. They can keep themselves warm, but keeping eggs warm is very difficult, not just by wrapping them in something warm, and at their current level it is almost impossible to keep most eggs alive.
But dwarfs... but it's possible, because gnomes' reproduction methods are somewhat similar to Maoyu. Although they also have the process of 'laying eggs', they directly let the eggs hatch in their bodies...
That said, gnomes in the Dinosaur Land are also promising creatures.
Now, the dragons are almost landed, while the corpse and emerald dragons are on land. They looked at the frozen canyon and sighed again.
The skeleton dragons and the emerald dragon are not in the same place, they are just opposite each other. There is a cliff more than ten kilometers wide in the middle.
After that, Lin also planned to let them live separately, so that the emerald dragon would not have any influence on the skeleton dragon.
They soon began to set up camps such as tents beside the glacier, and at this time, Lin also brought a large number of small creatures from the first and second arks to the land.
These include small dinosaurs and some rare kinds of Maoyu, as well as the 'mutated Maoyu' made by the creator. They are all in a state of sleep now. Lin wrapped them with a special weapon and showed them in the dream. out of normal living conditions.
The plants in the ark were also preserved by Lin and placed on land. After the ark was 'unloaded', some new changes began in the body. Lin first decomposed the multi-layer space where the animals and plants were placed, and then created it. New guts and various organs.
It will take some time for these two arks to become a new type of army for creating a new living environment in the future. At this time, Lin will continue to explore.
Although it is said that there is something warm under the glacier, it is still unclear what it is, so it is necessary to see clearly. Lin has awakened the base of the North Continent, and the base itself is almost nothing abnormal. Lin let the base begin to swallow the surrounding Some wreckage, and created a kind of troop for exploration.
Named 'The Ice Driller'.
In fact, it is a worm-type soldier with a length of more than five meters. Its carapace can resist the cold, and can move quickly in the ice layer. At the same time, it also has the ability to receive brain wave signals and spread the signals, so that they can use brain waves to detect the surrounding area. environment of.
Lin only needs to be a master brain to release brain waves, and does not need many brains.
This group of ice drillers was placed by Lin in the second half of the canyon, which is the location in the jungle, and began to drill inward on the ice layer. Lin will explore the environment under the ice.
The ice driller moved quickly in the ice crystals. Lin found that there were some frozen creatures in it. It felt as if the water here suddenly froze, and the ice seemed to freeze to a very deep place. After drilling for dozens of meters, Lin found that there were still ice cubes around.
wait, this is...
An ice driller at the front suddenly encountered a relatively hard object. Lin found that this was not an ice cube, but a... crystal? Because it is almost the same color as ice, I didn't notice it at first...
The ice driller accelerated the drilling speed and drilled the not-thick crystal block in front of him, and the ice driller suddenly entered a icy cold.
Here is... water? Lin found that there seemed to be no ice in the area of the bottom ten meters of the ice layer.
The ice drillers all got in and swim slowly in the waters under this glacier. The water here is very cold, but it is not yet freezing temperature, but in fact, for living things, staying in this Water loses heat faster than staying in ice.
At the bottom of this place, Lin also found the remains of many creatures, including those of fish and benthic creatures. The light from the ice driller's head illuminated the place, but Lin's attention was mainly focused on the one on the ground. on fish bones.
This fish bone looks like that of a shark. The shark has no ribs, except for its fins, it only has a spine and a skull. It is very easy to identify, but this bone is very strange... There is actually some meat residue on it.
It looks like it has just been eaten, is there any creature here?
Lin asked the ice drillers to quickly spread out to explore, and they started to swim in the direction of the sea from here, while the other part swam in the opposite direction.
Along the way, Lin saw a lot of previous sights, such as huge smashing stones, and some traces of plants. The bottom of the glacier was not frozen for more than ten meters. This seems to be because the ground is relatively warm. Maybe there is something underground. situation.
The ice drillers swimming in the direction of the ocean swam to a place where the Inca swarms once lived. On the ground here, the annular pits they used to dig fossils and raise creatures are still here.
The ice driller explored the two nearest potholes. There was nothing special in it, just cold water, and when he saw the third pit...
what is this?
Lin could clearly feel that there was a warm feeling in the pit. When the ice driller approached, Lin saw a wonderful scene.
When the light from the ice driller illuminated the pothole, almost the same shining light was reflected back, and I saw a huge crystal in the pothole, and this crystal... had a strange shape.
It looks like a rocky mountain built by head worms, with irregular shapes, crystals standing in the pits, and there are many small holes on it for a creature to get in and out.
And the creatures that go in and out are... ancient squids. Many ancient squids live here. They lie on the crystals and move inside the crystals. When the ice driller sees them, they all seem to be stunned. In the same place, it turned into a color similar to the surrounding...
They are still alive, and they look very energetic...
Thinking about it, Lin told the ice driller to stop emitting light, and switched to using sound and brain waves to detect. After the light disappeared, the ancient squids began to move again.
Only at this moment did Lin realize that the ancient squids were not completely adapted to the darkness. Their bodies were glowing slightly. The light just now was too bright to be seen, but after the ice driller stopped glowing, it was very obvious.
These ancient squids are now quickly drilling into the crystals, and they are blocking the hole with something. They seem to be very panicked and scared, because the ice driller just took a picture of their relationship.
It seems that there is no way to scare them with light here.
Then Lin explored the surrounding Inca potholes. Some of these potholes were inhabited by ancient squid, while some had nothing.
They all live in almost the same way. They build a crystal in the pit and live in the crystal. The shape of these crystals is like the rocky mountain of the head worm, or like a creature called 'termite'. established mounds.
It's unclear where they got the crystals.
However, the main reason for knowing that they live in the pits is that the pits are very warm, and the crystals they find have the function of thermal insulation, while those pits that do not live in ancient squid do not feel warm.
When exploring the pothole, some ice drillers swimming towards the end of the canyon also saw a similar scene. The end of the underground world was originally connected to a mountain, and there was a vast wasteland at that location, and there was a crack Valley.
And the ice driller is now near the rift, where Lin also found a group of ancient squid. (To be continued...)
