Star of Civilization - v2 Chapter 193

Episode 193. The Hill of Truth (5)

Civilization Star Divine Tribulation Extra 193. The Hill of Truth "Is this the energy supply area of ​​the laboratory... or is it a more secretive testing ground?"

Joyner's heart was beating wildly, and her dark eyes were shining with light. She gently put the nearly one-ton petri dish aside, squatted down cautiously, and carefully inspected the edge of the pit.

The hoist was rusted and apparently non-functional, probably completely damaged by the invasion.

At this moment, countless fluorescent filaments are spreading and wriggling, continuously gathering together. In less than ten seconds, the plant army crazily stretched down the gap under her feet.

The army of vines is huge, and the speed of extension is extremely fast.

The scene was quite shocking, like a school of sturgeons swimming in the sea, in order to shovel eggs, reproduce, and return to their birthplace, they were swimming against the current like a stormy sea!

The spectacle in front of her was breathtaking, and Joyner was stunned.

After being stunned for a moment, an irresistible impulse suddenly rose in her body. In other words, for reasons she didn't even understand, she began to tremble with excitement, desperately wanting to enter the deep pit.

Joyner flew into the air, grabbed the vine with one hand, and the other hand was perpendicular to the ground. Her movements were as vigorous as a swallow entering a nest, and she flew straight down and fell into the deep pit!

The distance of more than 20 meters is equivalent to the height of a ten-story building. After only a short time of falling, Joyner's feet have touched the bottom of the deep pit.

Bitter cold!

Joyner soon realized that this was where Morgana finally created Nova, just as described in the message, almost everything remained as it was originally.

Joyner stood up and surveyed her surroundings with her eyes wide open.

Some of the ground was crystallized by the black jelly, and some places were covered with mycelium, emitting a cold and bright light, forming an indescribable mottled spectacle.

"I don't know how these plants keep growing at such a low temperature?" Joyna continued to investigate with puzzlement.

The whole area looks neat and high-end, out of step with the rest of the lab.

Mycelium not far away is everywhere, spreading wantonly on the walls and ceilings, looking dilapidated and old-fashioned. On the other side, there are many precision machines still working, about half the height of a person, surrounding a tall column, which seems to be the core part of the brain.

Although there is no sunlight here, it is illuminated by the brilliance emitted by the plants everywhere, like a dark night under the bright moon.

Like a laboratory built in a greenhouse, the original plants and machines here live in harmony for an unknown number of years. This feeling is weird and unique.

Joyner walked towards the machine. The appearance of this machine was not in her mind, but it looked somewhat similar to her old model before hibernation, and it might also be a military-grade product.

After checking around, she found the engraved inscription on the back of the machine, confirming her guess that these machines are the assets of the Planetary Council military.

The intellectual brain is well preserved underground, and it is still working. The surface is almost spotless, and it doesn't look like something that has been sealed for so long.

Joyner lightly reached out and touched the light screen for a try, and the light screen quickly lit up, displaying a lot of incomprehensible data.

She no longer has the intention to study these things anymore. She spent a lot of energy and mind watching the information on it before, and her mind is still dizzy until now.

By the way, where did those vines that burrowed into the ground go?

Thinking like this, she turned around and followed the continuous fluorescent light to identify that the plant army in the other direction opened the way ahead, and had already pointed out her whereabouts.

"The plants...why do they gather together in that direction?"

Joyner was apprehensive, with an inexplicable premonition, and wanted to find out, so she quickened her pace and followed.

When passing a certain corridor, Joyner noticed a strip of strips on the wall, which was clearly planned and neatly arranged. It was obviously a man-made creation, and a large number of cables might be buried.

She realized that this is the middle part connecting the power area and the laboratory, so the front should be the energy room of the entire experimental base.

The light around her grew brighter after her arrival, almost turning into shimmering water. This is the phenomenon that Joyner felt most intuitively. She couldn't help thinking to herself, it's not just the plants guiding her, it's like a line of welcome!

Go through a broken wall up to a meter thick. Finally, she stood where the plants finally gathered.

The scene in front of her shocked and dizzy her!

Rows of devices are displayed around, shaped like huge hats, the cold metal shell reflects luster and emits the fluorescence brought by plants. Slim strips of cobalt blue light blink every few minutes and have never stopped working for hundreds of years.

Joyner was sure that this was the cooling device unique to miniature nuclear reactors.

But what Joyner cared more about was something else.

This thing is located in the center of the space, and it looks like a huge six-meter-high capsule, with a spiral staircase and various fixed locks beside it, and it looks expensive.

According to Joyner's memory, the "cold nuclear fusion" reactor is the official name of this device, and it was a product developed by a famous group in the old days. There are both civilian and military models.

When the device is in operation, the ultra-high temperature and high pressure make the plasma temperature in it reach hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius. Such a high temperature cannot be tolerated by any known material, so people thought of using a strong magnetic field to restrain it.

A strong magnetic field requires superconducting materials, and superconducting materials require ultra-low temperatures. This is where the technological content of the entire device lies~www.novelbuddy.com~ On the one hand, it maintains the ultra-high temperature inside the device, and on the other hand, it maintains the ultra-low temperature outside the device. One can imagine the difficulty. Due to the use of the most advanced technology at that time, the temperature of the inner furnace will not exceed 8,000 degrees during the slow fusion reaction. Therefore, the volume of this device can be said to be very small.

The energy source of this device in front of us is palladium metal powder heated in a hydrogen-rich environment. In deuterium gas, pulse discharge is used to create plasma, and then let it bombard the palladium electrode to cause nuclear fusion reaction.

More than 30 years after the device was launched on the market, human science and technology have developed further, and smaller devices have appeared on the market one after another, some even smaller than containers.

Once the ultra-small fusion reactor starts working, the energy will be recycled, and it will be difficult to stop without human intervention. This operating mechanism reduces the necessity and risk of maintenance as much as possible, and the service life can exceed more than 200 years.

Georgina stood there staring intently, and after a while, her fingers began to tremble slightly.

She looked a little sad, and muttered to herself, "So... at least two hundred years have passed?"

She raised her head and looked above the nuclear fusion device. The fluorescence there was dazzling and bright, and there was a strange shape. All the plant vines surrounded this shape, like countless fireflies shining together.

"What causes the plants to gather so scramblingly?"

Joyner moved her steps closer to observe, and a powerful sense of dizziness hit her, making her head buzz. She swayed a few times, trying to steady herself.

She squinted her eyes through the gaps between her fingers, and saw the true face of the thing, half a skeleton. Previous chapter table of contents bookmark back page
