The Phoenix Kingdom, which has become two and a half floating islands, is still arranging industries. The process of floating islands has not stopped, and the environment is constantly changing.
After nearly 40% of the plates took off one after another, there seemed to be seawater intrusion below. There may be insufficient heat conduction due to surface hardening of the asthenosphere, and the vapor cloud layer became significantly thinner.
The exploration team, together with the Magic Academy Interest Group and the Research Institute Research Team, took the opportunity to explore below. Wang Qi was also interested and sent Li Xiang to have a look.
This is the first time to see the depth of five thousand meters underground. In normal years, if you want to see the rock formations here, you need an extremely mature drilling industry to develop. Now you can take a look.
Li Xiang flew twenty sorties in just a few days, spending an average of fourteen hours in the sky every day, and brought back a lot of sketches to Wang Qi.
"The plane is too shaking, just watch it." Li Xiang was a little embarrassed.
Wang Qi grabbed her hand and rubbed the back of it with his thumb: "The painting is very good."
The glider flies slowly, but its own weight is limited, so it will be more affected by eddy currents. Li Xiang's more than ten years of basic skills and super attributes cannot completely eliminate jitter, but the actual line level is about the same as the average line level of an art student.
After reading all the pictures, Wang Qi was a little confused.
"There are a few rock formation sections."
"What section?"
Wang Qi took out the notepad that recorded the conversation with Solaris. On the previous page of the conversation was the painting he drew for Solaris: "I thought the development of the world was like this. She said it was completely wrong. At the beginning, it was I don’t understand it. I only know what the world looks like after looking at the pictures you drew.”
Li Xiang wasn't very interested in getting to the bottom of it, but he liked to see him thinking intently: "Tell me about it."
Wang Qi thought about it, turned to a blank page, drew a picture and explained: "The fragmented world is not the same world as our previous world."
"Ah!?" Li Xiang's eyes widened, he didn't expect it to come in this direction.
"Earthquakes exert crustal stress that will cause misalignment and cross-sections. There are too few rock stratum cross-sections, which are probably enough to match natural earthquakes. They do not match the existing cracking forms and scales. Refer to the wrong answer and it is now at least the third fragmentation. The preconditions for transformation should exclude the possibility that the two are the same world." Here I am still drawing, one is a fragmented world, the other is complete, and then I connect the lines above and below, "With what I have now Just guessing based on the amount of knowledge, there may be two relationships. One is that the two represent the 'past' and the 'present' respectively, and they have exchanged positions in some way; the other is that the two are not the same world in different time periods, but two The superposition or exchange state of the world."
Li Xiang is not an academic person, but he has learned enough things and quickly discovered the loopholes: "But the coal mines in Blackwater and the oil fields in Quanquan City have not disappeared."
Wang Qi nodded: "Yes, if this situation does not change in the future, then the 'exchange state' must be eliminated, leaving only the possibility of the 'superposition state'."
"When the two worlds are superimposed, why are there no more animals or people?"
"This is also what I want to know. Maybe the state of floating islands is not mature enough."
With the development of floating islands, more than half of the plates within the known range have not even been completely separated from the earth, and there will definitely be unexpected changes in the future.
"Knock knock knock."
While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened to reveal the trusted administrator, Laiwen.
Her name is very representative. Her parents' surname is not Lai, but Lai Tixia, which was changed to her after the Qin language was fully promoted. She is thirty years old, and there are not many similar situations, especially those born in the past ten years.
This trend is because it is too troublesome to write names in Qin language and use the translation of alphabetical surnames, and it takes more time to sign the test paper than others.
Lai Wen pushed the door open with a small stack of documents, put them on the table and explained: "The top is the latest report of the exploration team. Please send it as soon as possible according to your wishes. The following documents are the negotiation progress of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the progress of Erte and Austria. Bert’s administrative reform document requires His Majesty’s approval as soon as possible.”
"Okay, go down. I'll send the documents to the office on the third floor later."
Laiwen wanted to say that he would get it himself, but His Majesty and His Highness Li Xiang did not like others to disturb them when they were above the fourth floor, so it would be annoying if he said, "Yes."
Wang Qi was most concerned about the progress of the exploration team in all aspects. After looking through the report, there was nothing major, but one suspicious point was mentioned.
This suspicious point was in the dark place. After the fog level above the vapor layer stopped falling, they took the risk of flying a plane down to a hundred meters below the fog, and found an abnormal rock layer...or a metal layer, and the cooling lava could be observed with the naked eye. Metallic sheen in the middle.
The exploration team has completed the positioning, but assessed that the sampling risk is too high, and there is no further action plan for the time being.
Cools visible metal in lava.
"Is it possible it's gold or something?" Li Xiang asked.
"You should be able to recognize the gold."
"There are other natural metal elements."
Wang Qi nodded: "It's possible. It's not a high-risk incident anyway. We'll wait for the news later."
In addition to gold, there are indeed inactive metals that can maintain their elemental state, such as platinum. Ores or clays containing its elements may have been used as flint by early humans. A distinction needs to be made here. The main component of later flint was quartz, and the method of making fire also relied on rubbing iron pieces. Obviously, early humans did not have the ability to obtain simple iron.
However, there are still doubts. Regardless of platinum, bismuth or any other metal that can exist in nature as a simple substance, its content should not reach the level visible to the naked eye in foggy areas.
Gold veins have the most obvious characteristics among the naked eye levels. With their higher density, they can form veins with higher concentrations. However, the gold content must be close to 1% to see gold. If you consider the blast type II If the cockpit is at least ten meters away from the rock wall, 1% may not be enough to affect the mist. Other simple substances that cannot form natural layers with the stone in the molten state are even more difficult.
If it is a man-made thing, then the fun will be great.
Anyway, just wait and see at the pace of the exploration team.
Process official documents.
Li Xiang is very well-behaved. At times like this, she won't be beeping nearby, but will go out to play with bears or learn magic.
After Wang Qi promised Li Xiang to the Fifth Ring Road, the two sneaked out.
Of course, it's not really an escape. We still have to wait until Laiwen has the ability to temporarily supervise the country.
Now Li Xiang has learned a fourth-ring magic, flying, but there is still a long way to go before reaching the fifth ring. He must learn at least two to three different factions of fourth-ring magic in order to accumulate enough basic knowledge and control ability. Five-ring spell.
Results should be available in about five to six years...maybe.
