Find the general direction, and the next thing will be easy.
Li Yao, long Yangjun and Li Jialing, together with the two newly born "information life", and of course, the toys of two little guys - those tiny ant like subminiature psionic puppets and wild bee like psionic puppets that can fly freely, immediately set out to explore the past all the way along the existing cracks and mines in the direction of special waves.
Every three hours, stop and start "vibration wave scanning and grabbing magic weapon" again to reposition the source of vibration.
Sure enough, the ripples are getting stronger and clearer, which shows that their direction is not wrong. According to the increasing number of ripples, the direction and height can be further fine tuned.
Gradually, they are far away from the towns where ordinary people live underground and those areas rich in psionic power and life. They really enter into the absolute darkness of "darkness and silence".
This is a forbidden area where even the underground savages have no life. Tunnels and mines are gradually narrowed and cut off. There are only natural cracks with strange shapes that people can barely walk through.
In many places, it is even necessary to use giant soldiers to open the way abruptly in order to find new cracks.
If Li Yao and long Yangjun were not at the top, they would not have found the right way and would have been trapped in the rock.
In this way, they held their breath in the dark for more than 24 hours, and finally saw a glimmer of light.
After drilling through a natural crack which is not much thicker than the poisonous snake, it suddenly becomes clear that there is an artificial tunnel with a diameter of at least 30-50 meters in front of it. Heihe doesn't know where to go.
The tunnel is wide on both sides, narrow up and down, and oval in shape. The traces of manual excavation can be seen on the surrounding rock walls. However, after thousands of years of erosion, it has gradually become smooth, like a hard slurry shell.
"This tunnel is not built now."
Through the barometer, Li Yao analyzed the height of the moment. "We have dropped to more than 24000 meters below the ground. In many places, there is a boundary between the crust and the mantle. I didn't expect that there is such a huge artificial tunnel at such a deep distance.
"If you come to look at the traces on the rock walls on both sides of the tunnel, you'd better reach out your hand and feel that there is no trace with tiny spiral. It should be some kind of shield machine or giant drill. From the size of the traces, it doesn't look like the same kind of magic weapon of Pangu or Nuwa people - the size is too small."
Long Yangjun was the first to understand what Li Yao meant.
Most of the 13 members of the Pangu civilization alliance are huge carbon based creatures, often 20 or 30 meters tall or even higher, and they are great giants.
Therefore, if it is the shield machine, excavator, crusher of Pangu or Nuwa nationality, the volume should be larger, and the size of the traces excavated should be much wider.
In many ruins, including the Kunlun secret place, there are remains of similar magic weapons of Pangu and Nuwa, so Li Yao and long Yangjun know the size of similar magic weapons very well.
"You suspect that this man-made tunnel was dug by human beings?"
Long Yangjun thought about it and said, "it was the emperor or the son of the blood god 10000 years ago!"
"If your guess is right, it's very likely."
Li Yao nodded and said, "assuming that the army of the emperor and the blood god son is really looking for something under the Celestial Star, it naturally needs to dig a large enough artificial tunnel to transport a large number of troops and even a devastating magic weapon in. Since Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, knows the secret, he certainly doesn't need to dig his own tunnel from the beginning, As long as you find the tunnel of the emperor or the blood god, you can easily reach the "target."
"It makes sense."
Long Yangjun released his mind to explore for a moment, took the people to the middle of the tunnel, pointed to the indentation on the ground and said, "you come to touch this."
Li Yao knelt down on one knee and carefully rubbed the uneven ground, touching countless jagged protrusions.
"It's a crawler, a very, very wide heavy crawler, and it's a group of six to eight crawlers - some kind of crawler transport with an amazing carrying capacity."
Li Yaodao said, "if the emperor or the blood god's army rolled out 10000 years ago, the tracks would have been eroded by time. They are not so" fresh ". These tracks were left after repeated rolling in the last year and a half!"
Now, at last, they can be sure that they are right.
As for the height of the tunnel is only 30-50 meters, while the diameter of the working face of the super giant shield machine is more than 100 meters. This obvious "contradiction" is not a big problem.
On the other hand, the super giant shield machine is extremely fragile. The super high speed running time is calculated in seconds. If it is unnecessary, it will be one second less.
It is the most efficient way to decompose the super huge shield machine into thousands or even tens of thousands of components and magic weapon units, transport them to the operation site by crawler type heavy-duty vehicles, and then combine them on the spot.
Knowing that this man-made tunnel must lead to the "trump card" of Wu Yingqi, the black star emperor, it's no surprise that after two hours of holding his breath, he heard the roar of 18000 waterfall like "rumbling" in front of him and saw the guards of the royal guards armed to the teeth.
Not to mention Li Yao and long Yangjun, even Li Jialing, who has just completed a course of intensive treatment, can easily turn over these imperial guards.
But there is no need to beat grass to scare snake like this. They chose a more secure way.
People are dormant in the dark corner of the artificial tunnel. Li Yao uses the "Xiaolong" to drill a small hole with the thickness of his finger on the rock wall, directly to the hot work site ahead. Then Li Xiaoming and Li Wenwen manipulate a large number of mechanical ants, climb in along the small hole, and transmit the scanned images and waves back, so that people can share the vision of these mechanical ants.
The images sent back by the owl dragon and the mechanical ants made their breathing stagnate and almost didn't make a sound.
The underground space at the end of the artificial tunnel is too huge, too vast, too "vast".
Li Yao can be regarded as people who have seen countless huge underground spaces, including the first underground of Dragon Star skeleton, and even a silver "ocean".
But all the underground space together, is not as shocking as the void in front of us.
The diameter and height of the underground space on this side are at least ten times that of the big iron factory, which can accommodate dozens of underground towns. It is like a miniature black hole embedded in the interior of the Celestial Star, constantly devouring all the surrounding rocks.
Looking around, there are spiral stairs and platforms all around, and there are huge caves on the rock wall, like some kind of intricate honeycomb and ant nest.
Some of the "ant nests" are the barracks of the imperial army. Next to the barracks, there are crisscrossed crystal magnetic gun positions and various three-dimensional defense systems, which can be described in four words as "water can not be poured in"; Other "beehives" are factories for assembling and repairing shield machines, all of which are large-scale.
Li Yao manipulated the Xiaolong, carefully adjusted its direction, and all the way down. He saw that on the platform close to the bottom of the huge cavity, there were several super giant shield machines that were digging and smashing all the time. They were also accompanied by hundreds of large, medium and small shield machines. Their contrasting shapes were like giant animals coming out hunting with their children.
With these shield machines alone, it is impossible to open up such a vast underground space in just one and a half years!
Li Yao's mind turned, and then he was dumbfounded, laughing that he was too stupid. Of course, Wu Yingqi, the great black star emperor, did not dig out such a vast space alone. Nine times out of ten, as long Yangjun said, it was the army of the emperor or the blood god. Wu Yingqi just inherited the cause of his ancestors and continued to dig.
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Boom boom!
Just then, they heard a very regular explosion from deep underground space.
"Is it shooting to crush rock?"
Long Yangjun asked Li Yao in a low voice.
"No
Li Yao put his ears and cheeks close to the rock wall, carefully felt for a moment, shook his head and said, "it's using the ripples and feedback released after the explosion of the crystal bomb to scan the deeper underground structures."
This method of holographic scanning using ripple feedback is a conventional means of underground exploration.
In terms of the layout of the corrugated emission sources, the immortals first used the super giant shield machine to cut a shallow tunnel in all directions underground and spread it radially. Then a group of specially made crystal bombs were installed at the end of each tunnel to carry out the scanning of "casting nets all over the sky".
In other words, no matter what Wu Yingqi wants them to look for, they have not made any breakthrough. They just shoot indiscriminately.
Li Yao was a little relieved to find this.
"At least a whole regiment of imperial guards has been deployed here, and judging from the fact that they are constantly building new barracks and barriers, the size of the garrison will continue to expand."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and carefully analyzed the ultra clear images sent back by the Xiaolong. "No wonder Li Linghai attaches so much importance to the imperial guards that he has been flirting with them for a long time. I will say that most of the imperial guards have no combat effectiveness. They are shrimps and crabs on the battlefield. No matter how loyal they are, they can't be used to attract them.
"It turns out that Li Linghai or Wu Yingqi didn't intend to let the imperial army fight against the enemy at all, but used them as" engineering soldiers ". This is quite appropriate."
Li Yao swept a circle, within the scope of his eyesight, he didn't find any master. He moved in his heart and said with a smile, "what do you think will happen if we suddenly rush down to do something?"
