Blue light particles floated between the horn-shaped door frame, and the square texture covered every inch of the door, like a unique piece of art.
In this disc-shaped space buried two kilometers underground, Jiang Chen, Gorowen the First, and Lilith, who followed behind them, were escorted by Celestial Trade and Gorowen's soldiers to the platform where the portal was placed.
"Has it been open for billions of years?" Jiang Chen asked as he looked at the deep vortex between the door frame.
At the moment, he was wearing a heavy N-100 power armor.
"That's not the case. When we first came here, there were only two lonely doorposts," Gorowen the First shook his head. Gorowen the First shook his head. "It's only because the chosen ones are standing here that the 'door' to the core will open."
"Really? What kind of principle is this based on? " "If something happens to that person, wouldn't the secret of the Gaia civilization only be known by God?"
"About this, maybe even God doesn't know. Probably only Gaia itself can answer you," Gorowen the First said expressionlessly and walked in the direction of the door.
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Chen stopped him.
"Is there anything else?" Gorowen the First turned his head and looked at Jiang Chen.
"Before we go down, don't you want to throw a detector down first?" Jiang Chen asked.
After Gorowen the First thought for a moment, he nodded.
"That makes sense."
Jiang Chen gave him a meaningful look.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but his attitude clearly told him that they already knew what was going to happen.
The spherical detector was transported from above the ruins. This small detector was widely used to search for the nests of Devil Worms. It could easily pass through the narrow underground pores, detect the surrounding life activity signals, record the environmental temperature, and so on …
The most important thing was that the collected information would be compiled into Klein particle waves. In theory, the information could be sent to the receiving end on the surface through thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers of rock.
Jiang Chen took the small ball from the soldier's hand, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it at the portal.
Then, something strange happened.
The moment the metal ball came into contact with the blue interface, it was like a stone thrown into a lake. It was engulfed by the blue lake water and disappeared into thin air. The soldiers standing behind Jiang Chen, in the pupils behind the tactical eyepieces, all showed surprised expressions.
The expressions on the faces of the Golovin soldiers, who were wearing carbon nano combat suits and holding laser rifles, were no different from their leader, Golovin I. Under the cover of Gorovan's mental system, their knowledge and thoughts were shared with each other.
"It's magical, isn't it?" Jiang Chen recovered from the shock and smiled.
"You'll see something even more magical down there," Gorowen the First said expressionlessly.
The situation on the other side of the portal was quickly reported by the spherical detector.
After confirming that the situation below was normal, Jiang Chen gestured to Gorowen the First and then followed him to the portal with Lilith.
It was probably the same principle as the neutrino channel.
The moment they passed through the portal, Jiang Chen felt the space-time dislocation similar to the after-effects of using the interdimensional bracelet.
He tapped on his watch and looked at the strings of data that appeared on the holographic interface in the helmet. After confirming that the nearby situation was safe, Jiang Chen began to examine the surrounding environment.
It was a spherical space with a longitudinal area of about two or three football fields. The surrounding walls were wrapped in unknown metals. It was hard to imagine the resistance of these metals to pressure and high temperature.
A series of tubular passages extended from the surroundings to the center of the spherical space. Some of them could be seen through the transparent material, while others looked like load-bearing structures, connecting the walls and the metal spherical shell in the center into one.
As for where Jiang Chen and the others were now, they were probably in one of the channels, near the edge of the spherical space.
As speculated, the temperature here was not as high as the theoretical estimate, reaching thousands of degrees, at least in the space built by the Gaia civilization. There were no signs of life around. It must have been abandoned for many years.
Surprisingly, this place had actually survived the baptism of time.
Jiang Chen looked at Lilith, who followed from the portal behind him, and then looked at Gorowen the First.
"Have you been here before?"
"No, I just saw it in the information. Unfortunately, it wasn't us who got here." Gorowen the First shook his head.
The "us" here probably referred to the CCCP. Before the Sventowit colonial ship took off, the CCCP, PAC, and NATO all explored and excavated the ruins of the Gaia civilization. Even in the ten years before the war, several local conflicts broke out on the surface of Mars for this reason … Jiang Chen heard Lin Lin mention this before.
"That is the planetary furnace. Gaia disassembles single atoms into quarks and launches them into the center of the 'furnace' through a particle accelerator. The fundamental particles that destroy the atomic structure are stacked layer by layer, and then the internal stress of the entire planet is used to compress them … This is the so-called planetary forging technology."
"It sounds simple," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Disassemble atoms into quarks, and then use the internal stress of the planet's core to squeeze the particles into the range of the strong interaction force. Just like building a house, it was stacked in circles. This was the strong interaction force material.
Only in the depths of the planet's core that was billions of years old could a small amount of naturally occurring strong interaction force material be found.
In theory, there was no object in nature that was stronger than it.
"But it is quite difficult to achieve. Before the particle distance reaches the range of the strong interaction force, the repulsive force will increase exponentially as the distance shrinks. You can imagine connecting a broken magnet in two according to the original fracture. "
"… I see. It seems that I still thought too simply." Jiang Chen smiled.
"And the production of hadron material is probably equivalent to breaking a magnet the size of a grain of rice and reassembling it into a magnet the size of a building. In fact, it was this technology that ended the Gaia civilization. " Gorowen the First turned to look at Jiang Chen. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Give it to me. According to the agreement, we will help you solve the problem."
"What should I do?"
"There is only one thing that needs to be taken away." Gorowen the First pointed to the front of the pipe.
In the deepest part was the metal sphere that was connected by metal pipes.
If the entire spherical space was a "factory", then it was probably a "furnace".
"I can't put things connected together into the subspace," Jiang Chen said.
"Then separate it from the particle accelerator."
With that, Gorowen the First walked forward.
He stopped at the end of the pipe, extended his right hand, and pressed on the metal sphere, in the center of a circular dent.
The light blue particles of light followed his palm and spread toward the metal sphere.
Jiang Chen's face showed a hint of surprise.
Before he could react to what had happened, he heard a sizzling sound, as if air was leaking. The pipes connected to the spherical "furnace" were like the antennas on an old-fashioned radio, shrinking back layer by layer.
Because it was located in the center of Mars, the entire furnace floated in the air as if there was no gravity.
Gorowen the First read the surprise in Jiang Chen's eyes and explained.
"The Gaia civilization doesn't have language. They can't even make sounds. They rely on telepathy to communicate. And in this regard, we happen to be experts. "
After pausing for a moment, he continued.
"Now, it's your turn."
