Wei Huo and the others continued diving. After passing through the clouds formed by mercury, they saw a scorching red dot below them. At the same time, the surrounding temperature started rising.
Upon seeing the red dot, everyone seemed to understand why there were mercury clouds there. The red dot was clearly a huge active volcano!
Xiao Liang said, "Rumor has it that Atlantis sank because of water and fire. One reason was because of the rising sea level, and the other was because of a volcanic eruption. It seems like the rumors are true."
As they continued to dive, they finally saw the bottom of the sea. There was a group of volcanoes at the bottom of the sea. There was not just one crater, but thousands of craters. Moreover, with the craters as the center, there were some crimson lines flowing out. These should be lava flows.
Looking down from this height, all one could see were huge red dots one after another, as well as winding red lines. The red lines were very dense near the red dots, but the further away they were from the red dots, the sparser the red lines became.
Xiao Liang said, "A long time ago, when every household on Earth was brightly lit, the surface of Earth looked the same from space." This was a scene only Wei Huo and Xiao Liang had seen before.
This was a scene that only Wei Huo and Xiao Liang had seen before. Before the time halt, every household would turn on their lights at night, and the street lamps on the streets would also light up. At that moment, one would see countless lights densely covering Earth from space. The lights in the cities were densely packed, and the lights in the rural areas were sparse.
The golden armor understood and said, "I see. Is this the Atlantis Kingdom? They live at the bottom of the sea and obtain energy from magma. They also built cities near every volcanic crater. The ones near the volcanic crater are towns, and the ones far away from the volcanic crater are villages. These magma flows were also created by them. "
At that moment, Wei Huo and the others were still 10,000 meters away from the surface of the sea. They still needed to continue diving. There was a group of active volcanoes under their feet, and there was a large city around each volcanic crater. They did not know where the main city of Atlantis was, so they could only find a random city to land in.
Wei Huo said, "According to what Xiao Liang said, the Atlanteans are no different from us. We can land in a village first and understand the situation. At the very least, we have to understand how they communicate." Everyone nodded.
Everyone nodded. The bottom of the deep sea was different from land. People couldn't talk underwater. At the same time, because there was magma everywhere, the bottom of the sea was definitely filled with all kinds of steam and bubbles. In such an environment, the human eye shouldn't be able to see anything clearly.
However, when the group landed in a village dozens of kilometers away from the active volcanic crater, they realized that the reality was different from their perspective.
As they descended, the temperature kept rising. At the same time, there was more mercury vapor. The temperature exceeded 100 degrees, and the water was filled with steam and bubbles. It was impossible to see anything with the naked eye. Wei Huo and the others landed on a red line at the edge.
The temperature exceeded 100 degrees Celsius, and the water was filled with steam and bubbles. It was impossible to see anything with the naked eye. The group closed their eyes and used their Divine Sense to see things. However, when they landed 1,000 meters below, the situation changed. The steam disappeared, and air appeared. It was as if a huge bubble had covered the world around the magma.
Everyone opened their eyes and saw a plant growing around the magma flow. The group landed beside a thin magma flow. The magma flow was red and shone with a red light.
This research stream was crimson and flashed with red light as it flowed down the river in a sticky manner. On both sides of the river were hard magma rocks. These rocks could withstand high temperatures and were formed after the magma cooled and was compressed. However, there were countless strange plants around the river. These plants were rooted here and seemed to survive by absorbing the heat from the magma.
Wei Huo and the others observed the trees carefully. The trees were black and had no leaves. Although they looked like trees, they looked more like stone trees made of stones. However, everyone's Divine Senses were very sensitive. They could already feel the breathing of the trees and the oxygen they exhaled. Wei Huo and the others observed the trees carefully.
"That's right," the golden armor said. "Any ecosystem can't do without producers and consumers. Unless the creatures in this group can produce and sell themselves, they won't be able to survive for a long time in a place without plants."
Xiao Liang took out a set of scientific equipment, found a thick stone tree, and began to examine it. He was an explorer and a scientist. He had traveled his entire life to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, so now that he had discovered an unknown species, he naturally had to study it.
The golden armor was also very interested. It understood the charm of science. Science was a way to explore the unknown. Every time it discovered something unknown through scientific means, it would feel a huge sense of accomplishment.
Of course, Wei Huo and the others' thirst for knowledge was no less than theirs. They all wanted to figure out what was going on with the stone tree and the Atlantis Kingdom.
The group scanned it with their Divine Sense, tested it with scientific equipment, and did experiments. After fiddling with it for a long time, they finally figured out what was going on with the stone tree.
Xiao Liang said, "There are no leaves, and it doesn't photosynthesize. Its roots absorb the heat from the magma. After obtaining heat, it converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen."
The golden armor lifted its head and looked at the sky. "The density of air is lower than that of water and steam. Logically speaking, it should keep rising and envelop all the space within the protective shield. How did this bubble form?"
They measured it for a long time but did not find out how this situation, which defied common sense, had formed. However, they did not say that they had found nothing. They had all chopped down the stone tree. After some research, they realized that the stone tree could absorb research through its roots and transmit it through its internal conduit. As magma contained all kinds of minerals, all kinds of stone crystals would form on the surface of the tree.
This kind of tree was very valuable. If it was planted in an area densely covered in minerals, it could absorb all kinds of minerals into its body and form crystals. It would not be strange for it to produce metallic fruits like golden apples and silver bananas, provided that it was provided with sufficient energy.
The golden armor said, "This is a mining tree! The charm of science is to make seemingly useless things useful. Besides, we can use this tree to modify the planet in the future and make it produce oxygen. This tree is too valuable during interstellar travel! "
