Chapter 451 Black and Red, Plans in the Shadows (36) Too Warm Embrace
Red lava...
Fiery temperature...
High temperature sulfur gas...
The sharply rising atmospheric pressure...
In the Mechanical Ark in orbit, the high-ranking priests were already in chaos, and deep in the lava ocean, Calvin was also suffering.
Yes, it is literally "suffering" on a physical level...
Calvin felt stupid, very stupid.
He could obviously wait a little longer to find the professional mining equipment near Selind's forge, and then ride the equipment into the magma.
But he didn't think so much. He just stood on the shoulders of the North Wind God with great ambition after convincing Speyer, and took a "leap of faith" in front of the top leaders of the entire Hepper Forge World.
This was good, the style allowed him to lift up, but the pain after actually jumping into the magma could only be endured by himself.
It is impossible to retreat. After all, the original body still has dignity.
When he thought about jumping down in front of so many people, all thoughts of retreating were instantly cleared from Calvin's mind.
But if he couldn't retreat, then he could only rely on his own strength for the next dive. Although the psychic shield could protect his safety, it also prevented him from actively moving downwards in a swimming posture.
He could only use his own weight to fall downwards, and the psychic energy was particularly violent under the high temperature. He had no reliable data on the depth of the thing, so he could only use it cautiously.
The dive has been going on for some time. Inside the shield is a small and dark space, while outside the shield is a blazing torrent that sinks more than gold and iron.
His position is slowly deepening, and the increased pressure on the outside of the shield is a hundred times that of the ocean due to the density difference of the material.
One hundred meters...
Two hundred meters...
Three hundred meters...
The pressure outside the psychic shield is rising without limit, but thanks to the low temperature spontaneously created when the subspace power is active, the air inside the shield is still within the acceptable range.
However, there is not much oxygen in this space, and the power armor on Calvin has already activated its emergency mechanism. It uses the materials stored inside the power armor to create oxygen based on the internal circulation mode.
The body of the original body also spontaneously reduced its activity level to adapt to the poor living environment. But no matter how inhuman his body is, its essence still falls under the operating laws of the real universe.
One hour……
Two hours...
The surrounding environment remained unchanged. Under the long-term exposure to red light, Calvin's corneas had turned on the filtering mode.
The long period of psychic output has made him feel paralyzed, and his increasingly groggy brain is telling Calvin that if there is no fresh air injected, then five hours will be the limit of his body.
Boom!
A weak explosion aroused Calvin's alert. When he noticed the moment when the psychic shield was broken, he once again used his psychic energy to support the space around him.
Violent psychic fluctuations caused the temperature of the shield and the surrounding air to drop sharply, and the molten magma exploded under the violent temperature difference the next second after it hit the shield.
"I'm a stick!" Calvin, who woke up, saw the explosion and gave himself a hard blow.
Because the dissipated low temperature not only cooled the surrounding lava and briefly solidified around him, it also shared the terrifying pressure of the magma with him and accelerated his sinking speed.
This change was obviously not within his expectation, but it was definitely an excellent way for him to improve his current situation.
As a result, dull explosions continued to sound in the depths of the sea of lava, and Calvin quickly sank downwards under this high-frequency burst of psychic energy.
The red magma filled the gap after he left, while the solidified metals and rocks melted again under the continuous high temperature and pressure...
I don't know how long it took, but Calvin finally felt that he had reached the target. He glanced at the data displayed on the power armor servo. It was already nearly 10,000 meters deep from the surface.
Is this the depth of collection of liquid mineral veins in industrial forges?
Calvin shook his head and laughed. These oil guys definitely had technical reservations in supplying weapons to the empire.
Serind is not the largest forge in the Heper Forging World, let alone the most technologically powerful group in the Forging World.
Taking the working environment of the mining machinery of Selinder Forge as an example, being able to maintain stable working conditions of the machinery in such an extreme environment has extreme requirements on the metal properties of the machinery materials.
And just judging from the metallurgical level displayed by Hepper here, the Mark series power armor should have stronger performance. But this is all a thing for another day, and Calvin can't care about it at this time.
Bah... A slight explosion sounded in Calvin's ears, and with the sound of this sound, Calvin had passed through an energy barrier and landed on a huge meteorite.
This is obviously part of the culprit that created the Selind crater landscape, and it is precisely in the center of this iron alloy meteorite calcined by the atmosphere that a spring of water is flowing.
A spring of water, a silver spring of water.
The end of the stream is a small lake, while the upper end is hidden inside the meteorite.
This stream was flowing naturally, and after sinking into the lake, it reappeared at other locations on the meteorite.
The reason why the energy barrier around the meteorite exists is because of the metal-flowing lake that maintains it.
Calvin strode towards the source of the stream, and as if some mechanism had been triggered, as the distance between Calvin and the source of the stream shortened, the entire meteorite began to become increasingly unstable.
But fortunately, Calvin's "legacy" solved this crisis, and Helios's rope spontaneously emerged from Calvin's body.
This "silver rope" quietly extended from the body of the original body until it touched the stream of the same color.
A slight but obscure fluctuation came from the chain, going upstream all the way to the ground. The source of the stream received this subtle signal, and the vibrating meteorite returned to silence.
Bang!
The meteorite in front of Calvin cracked from the inside, but he had no intention of evading it, just standing quietly at the source of the stream.
A weak signal successfully connected with Helios's rope, and then it seemed to have received some kind of encouragement, destroying the meteorite more frequently from the inside out.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Violent explosions sounded everywhere in the meteorite, and the originally stable energy shield began to flash frequently. The silver lake water began to drop violently. In the underground water veins that extended in all directions, all the silver metal torrents were converging and flowing back.
Hmm?
The original body, who felt that the situation was subtly different from his expectations, changed his face slightly, and hurriedly propped up the psychic shield before the energy barrier completely disappeared.
The energy brewing underground had reached its peak at this time, so under Calvin's rare panic expression, a silver water ball that was absolutely beyond his imagination flew straight to him from underground with a huge explosion.
"I...he...what..."
Calvin only had time to say this national curse from his previous life, and at the moment his eyes went black, he was crushed by a liquid metal ball as big as a mountain.
In its original form, the physical density of liquid metal is more than ten times that of mercury. The volume alone has exceeded Calvin's last harvest, which is as much as thousands of cubic meters.
Under the gravity of Heper and Terra, which is not much different, the weight of this part of liquid metal that is not infused with psychic energy is more than 100,000 tons...
The sound of the psychic shield shattering, the scream of metal deformation, the muffled sound of bones dislocation, and the sound of liquid metal flowing around him like heavy oil...
Calvin's ears are extremely chaotic at this moment, and he only has time to release his soul pure land outward. Under this heavy "hug", he once again fell into a shameful coma...
Second update.
