Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 193. The Hill of Truth (5)

[Extra 193. The Hill of Truth (5)]

“Is this the energy supply area of the laboratory…or some more secret test site?”

Joyner’s heart was beating fast, her dark eyes were shining, and she gently placed the petri dish weighing nearly one ton on the On the side, he cautiously knelt down and looked carefully at the edge of the pit.

The lift mechanism was rusty and apparently inoperable, possibly due to complete damage from the intrusion.

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

The vine army formed a huge formation and expanded extremely quickly.

The scene was quite shocking, like a school of sturgeons swimming in the sea, swimming upstream like a stormy sea in order to scoop up eggs, reproduce, and return to their birthplace!

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

After being stunned for a moment, an uncontrollable impulse suddenly arose in her body. In other words, for reasons she didn’t even understand, she began to tremble with excitement and desperately wanted to enter the pit.

Joyner’s body flew into the air, one hand suddenly grabbed the vine, and the other hand was perpendicular to the ground. Her movements were as agile as a swallow entering its nest, and she flew down directly and fell into the deep pit!

The distance of more than 20 meters is equivalent to the height of about ten stories. After only a short fall, Joyner’s feet touched the bottom of the pit.

Biting cold!

Joyner soon realized that this was the place where Morgana finally created Nova. Just as described in the message, almost everything retained its original appearance.

Joyner stood up and scanned her surroundings with wide eyes.

Some of the ground was turned into crystallized black gelatin, and some places were covered with mycelium, emitting cold and bright light, forming an indescribable mottled wonder.

“I wonder how these plants continue to grow at such low temperatures?” Joyner continued to investigate with confusion.

The entire area looks very neat and high-end, and is incompatible with the rest of the laboratory.

Not far away, mycelium was everywhere, spreading wantonly on the walls and ceiling, making it look dilapidated and old. On the other side, there are many precision machines that are still working, about half a person’s height, surrounding a towering column, which seems to be the core part of the intelligent brain.

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

Just like a laboratory built in a greenhouse, the original plants and machines here live in harmony and have been coexisting for countless years. This feeling is weird and unique.

Joyner walked towards the machine. The appearance of this machine had no impression in her mind, but it looked somewhat similar to the old model she had before hibernating. Perhaps it was also a military-grade product.

After checking around, she found an inscription engraved on the back side of the machine, confirming her suspicion that these machines were the assets of the Planetary Council’s military.

The brain is well preserved underground and is still working. Its surface is almost spotless, unlike something that has been sealed for so long.

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

She no longer has the intention to study these things. Viewing information on it previously consumed a lot of her energy and mind, and her mind is still groggy until now.

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

With this thought in mind, she turned around and followed the continuous fluorescent light to see that an army of plants in the other direction was leading the way, indicating the direction for her.

⑻ＢОоК. сＯм

“Why did the plants… gather in that direction?”

Joyner felt uneasy and had an indescribable premonition. She wanted to find out, so she quickened her pace and followed.

While passing through a certain corridor, Joyner noticed strips on the wall. They were clearly planned and neat. They were obviously artificial creations and might contain a large number of cables.

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

The surrounding light grew brighter after her arrival, almost turning into sparkling water. This is the phenomenon that Joyner feels most intuitively. She couldn’t help but think to herself, this was more than just the plants guiding her, it was almost like lining up to welcome them!

Pass through a broken wall that is one meter thick. Finally, she stood at the place where the plants finally gathered.

The scene before her eyes made her shocked and dizzy!

Rows of devices are displayed around them, shaped like huge bamboo hats. The cold metal shell reflects the luster and exudes the fluorescence brought by the plants. The slender, cobalt-blue strip of light flashes every few minutes and has never stopped working for hundreds of years.

Joyner was convinced that this was the cooling device unique to miniature nuclear reaction equipment.

But what worries Joyner more is another thing.

This thing is located in the center of the space. It looks like a huge six-meter-high capsule. There are spiral staircases and various fixed locks next to it. It looks expensive to build.

According to Joyner’s memory, the “cold fusion” reactor is the official name of this device. It is a product developed by a famous group in the old era and has both civilian and military models.

When the device is operating, ultra-high temperature and high pressure cause the plasma temperature in it to reach hundreds of millions degrees Celsius. No known material can withstand such high temperatures, so people thought of binding it with a powerful magnetic field.

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.

On the one hand, it maintains the ultra-high temperature on the inside of the device, and on the other hand, it maintains the ultra-low temperature on the outside of the device. You can imagine how difficult it is. Due to the use of the most advanced technology at the time, the temperature of the internal furnace during the slow fusion reaction would not exceed 8,000 degrees. Therefore, the size of this device can be said to be very small.

The energy source of the device in front of you is palladium metal powder heated in a hydrogen-rich environment. It uses pulse discharge to create plasma in deuterium gas, and then allows it to bombard the palladium electrode, thereby causing a nuclear fusion reaction.

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

Once an ultra-small fusion reaction device starts working, the energy is recycled, and it is 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.

Joyner stood there without turning her eyes. After a while, her fingers began to tremble slightly.

She looked a little gloomy and murmured to herself, “So… at least more than 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 are surrounding this shape, like countless fireflies shining together.

“What is the reason for the plants to gather in such a hurry?”

Joyner moved closer to observe, and a powerful feeling of dizziness came over her, making her head buzz. She swayed a few times and tried her best to steady her steps.

She squinted her eyes between her fingers and saw clearly the true face of the thing, half a skeleton.
