Chapter 1238 Sub-space Framework
Lilu was not sure what she saw in front of her.
In the concept and wording habits of mermaids, most of the processes that can transport people to a special space or a specific world can be called the process of entering a secret realm.
But the environment around me at this moment -
in the extremely open black space, strips of cooled igneous rock like metal skeletons form a regular structure like shopping mall shelves. Through the grid-like gaps between the structures, you can see the distance. The light of the stars shines from everywhere.
Simply analyze the scenery within your field of view.
Lilylu believes that she is in a space environment outside the planet's atmosphere.
But normal breathing and body reactions contradicted the judgment in her mind.
So...what exactly is going on?
She and Ronald successfully reached the secret realm through teleportation, or were they trapped in some kind of hallucinatory plot?
Just when Lilu was uncertain, Ronald's affirmative tone came from the side:
"Lilu, we should be at the right place."
"Oh?"
Lilu turned her head and looked.
Then they discovered that Ronald had just squatted on the ground, and now stood up with a strand of fiery red hair in his hand. Lilu remembered the story she had heard from Ronald before:
"Is this... the Catalina's hair you mentioned before?"
"That's right." Ronald nodded, and then took out this strand of hair. Keep it.
Just like the hair strands picked up on the Astronomy Department Tower, there were also marks left by Katarina on the ground where they arrived after crossing the lava lake. The faint magic within it points the route forward.
Following the guidance of magic, Ronald and Lilu explored forward.
As a result, they had only taken a few steps. Due to the change in the angle of view, the two of them saw the scene outside the igneous rock skeleton on the left side - there is a word, called the shining star river.
A picture that could be used as an adjective for a dazzling thing was right in front of them.
Countless stars gathered at very far away positions, forming a glorious river as long as a river. Without the influence of urban light pollution and the atmosphere, this brilliance is more shocking than the ground, and may even be lost in a short time. Speech skills.
In particular, Ronald and Lilu are not people without common knowledge of astronomy.
Suddenly faced with such a scene, they even temporarily forgot to move forward.
…………
——Poke.
After stopping for an unknown amount of time, Lilu reached out and poked Ronald:
"Ronald, where are we?"
Ronald was immersed in the starry sky in the distance, and his reaction was not even as good as Lilu's. He just murmured Replied:
"If possible, I also want to know the answer to this question."
Lilu noticed Ronald's state and patted him hard this time:
"Then let's continue moving forward?"
Ronald then completely Wake up:
"Let's move on. We can't delay here any longer!" "
..."
The two of them continued to move along the igneous rock skeleton, and the bright starry sky in the distance appeared and disappeared. However, before they could get too far, they found something eye-catching again in front of them.
This time the sky is not full of stars.
On the igneous rock skeleton structure at the feet, several slug-like group animals with fiery red bodies and high temperatures were moving forward carrying some ore-like objects.
Judging from their smooth and clearly targeted movement trajectories, they do not appear to be entering a strange environment, but rather they are species living here.
Lilu looked curious, even a little ready to move, wanting to grab a sample and take a look:
"Ronald, what do you think they are carrying on their backs?"
"Don't disturb them." Ronald said. He stopped Lilu's movement, and then mobilized his magic power, "I will use magic to conduct detection first, and try not to expose our existence as much as possible."
[Original Sin of Greed] soon brought news to Ronald.
"They are creatures called living fire slugs. Their main job is to lay skeletons in subspace to form grid-like channels." "
Subspace?" The mermaid didn't understand this time either.
Although Lilu's race has a great reserve of knowledge, there is no research on subspace. This is a completely blank and unfamiliar field.
Ronald saw Lilu's appearance and immediately realized that there was no way to obtain information in this regard.
He then thought about it.
The reconnaissance target of [Sin of Greed] immediately shifted from the living fire slugs to the igneous rock skeleton under their feet.
The information feedback came, and Ronald understood everything immediately.
"Is that so..."
Lilu heard this sigh and quickly grabbed the corner of Ronald's clothes. The curiosity in her eyes was clearly visible:
"Ronald, do you understand the situation here?"
"Hurry up and give it to me. Let me tell you!"
Ronald nodded to Lilu, then led Lilu around the living fire slugs and continued to move forward. At the same time, he explained:
"Under normal circumstances, there is almost no communication between the worlds. "
So, the creation of subspace was studied and manufactured by certain beings. They designed a framework that could be laid artificially to penetrate the space and connect different worlds to each other. Energy nodes can also be projected on individual nodes. Once After the energy nodes are developed, they will naturally be connected to this framework."
At this point, Lilu fully understood the situation, pointing to the igneous rock skeleton under her feet for final confirmation:
"So this thing under our feet is the corresponding product. Yes?"
"Yes." Ronald nodded.
"..."
"Are you kidding? This kind of thing is too exaggerated!"
Lilu couldn't help but muttered, obviously thinking that this statement was too outrageous.
In the mermaid's perception, no matter in terms of technology or magic, such a thing should not appear.
Regarding Lilu's condition, Ronald could only offer comfort.
In the process, he looked around and gained more understanding - for example, the bright starry sky was actually not false.
In fact, it is the sub-space that reflects the external environment.
Then they saw this scene with their naked eyes.
A hexagonal frame appeared in front, the middle filled with a vortex formed by fiery red magic and liquid matter.
Make no mistake - this is a fully developed node.
Moreover, the token left by Catalina points to this location at the moment.
Ronald was about to jump out of the whirlpool, but this time, the mermaid Lilu was uncharacteristic and stretched out her hand to hold Ronald's body:
"Ronald, you have to think clearly!"
"We arrived from the real world [ Field of Infinite Negative Numbers], and then came to this sub-space node from [Field of Infinite Negative Numbers]. It doesn’t matter once or twice, but the behavior of crossing the boundary many times has made us far away from the previous world. This kind of thing is very It's easy to get lost."
Lilu hurriedly pointed out the dangers of this behavior, then took a breath, and finally asked seriously:
"So are you sure you want to go in?"
"Once something goes wrong, you really can't go back. It’s over!”
