The "protective bubble" can maintain appropriate air pressure and provide oxygen, but its thermal insulation performance is unsatisfactory. Li Liang feels that the temperature inside the bubble is only a few degrees at this moment. Fortunately, he is still wearing the standard tactical outer armor lining of the Interstellar Expeditionary Force, which is ugly. A bit ugly, but it can play a certain role in thermal insulation.
Even so, he was still shivering from the cold. He breathed a few breaths into his hands, rubbed his earlobes, hugged his arms, and looked around.
The silicon-based bioregion is a jungle of crystals. Clusters of irregular colored crystals "grow" together. Some clusters are tens of meters high, and some are as low as bushes. Most of the ground is covered by a slender glass. The fibrous structure is covered like a "meadow" woven into glass tubes.
Perhaps in order to facilitate the passage of other life forms, a winding passage that can barely be called a road was opened in the crystal bush.
"The temperature here is very low," Timo walked forward carrying the long pole. Perhaps due to the change in air composition, his voice became muffled, "In human language, how do you measure the temperature at which water freezes?"
"Zero degrees Celsius."
"Then it's at least minus 200 degrees Celsius here. We have to hurry up. There is a precedent for the 'protection bubble' to cause the death of carbon-based organisms due to hypothermia." "
Li Liang breathed out white air and found that Teemo was much more relaxed than him. The fur on his body had not grown in vain after all, and he was indeed able to withstand the cold.
"Son of Gronn" followed Teemo in a daze. The remaining moisture on his skin had turned into frost, making him look like he was wearing a layer of white armor. Three-quarters was walking on spring legs, showing no signs of changing the environment. No reaction.
After bypassing a cluster of green crystals like a hill, one after another smoky "pools" appeared on both sides of the road ahead. They were of different sizes and had irregular edges. The temperature seemed very high visually, but Li Liang passed by one of the pools. , but did not feel the slightest temperature.
"What are these pools for?"
"The internal temperature of a building equivalent to silicon-based organisms is over two thousand degrees Celsius," Timo said casually. "The body of silicon-based organisms can be divided into two parts. One part stays in a high-temperature molten metal pool to obtain energy from chemical energy, and the other part stays in a high-temperature molten metal pool to obtain energy from chemical energy. Some of them operate in low-temperature environments.”
"Then what?"
Teemo raised his hands and made a docking gesture: "Click, plug in, like charging."
This metaphor is quite vivid. Li Liang instantly understood the way of survival of silicon-based organisms. It sounds much more convenient than carbon-based organisms. He can "eat" without delaying going out for activities.
Soon, he witnessed the process with his own eyes.
On the edge of a pool more than ten meters in diameter, a creature has just climbed out of the pool. It looks roughly like a giant bee, but its body is made of "fiberglass tubes" and the four pairs of wings on its back are also made of thin glass. There are two smooth glass hemispheres at the front end of the body, which should be the visual organs.
It relied on six pairs of slender glass tubes to support its body. When it climbed out of the pool, the tail of its body dragged out a corner of some kind of complex structure. Then, the connected transparent joints were disconnected, and the complex structure slowly sank into the pool.
Getting closer, Li Liang saw that the "fiberglass" that made up its body was crystal clear, and the interior flashed with light from time to time, like a delicate work of art.
He remembered that the creature in front of him when queuing up at the immigration control center was probably a silicon-based creature, also made of glass tubes, but in a different shape.
“Are silicon-based organisms fragile?”
Teemo snorted: "No living thing is more fragile than carbon-based creatures, silicon-based? Huh, did you see the flash in those silicon fibers? That is nerve signals. Their nervous systems can transmit information as efficiently as optical fibers. This allows them to react much faster and more accurately than you might think.”
Like optical fiber... Li Liang's eyes were opened. If the speed was fast enough, the "glass piece" on the back of the silicon-based creature in the distance could be turned into a deadly weapon.
"However, silicon-based creatures are sensitive and suspicious, and have difficulty understanding magic and Taoism." Teemo shook the piccolo in his hand, "So, as long as you know the simplest magic, they will treat you as a powerful magician, and you will be ignored." And run away."
Before he finished speaking, the silicon-based creature in the distance disappeared without a trace.
"..."
It slipped away so fast.
Li Liang shook his head and quickened his pace again, because in Ling's field of vision, a "circle" magic symbol could be seen in the distance. In addition, he was really about to freeze to death.
I didn't encounter many silicon-based creatures along the way, but more creatures of other life forms. This shows that this place is indeed "sparsely populated", and there are no suspicious magicians or sorcerers around.
Half an hour later.
The "meadow" woven with transparent fiber tubes suddenly disappeared, and a circular open space appeared in front of them, with magic symbols flashing over this area.
The three goblins carrying staffs stood quietly in the open space, seeming to have been waiting for a long time.
Their outfits reminded Li Liang of the elf messenger he met at the New Order Joint Conference Building. They had the same gorgeous robes, the same butterflies on their shoulders, and similar black patterns on their emerald faces.
In an instant, Li Liang reacted.
The goblins believe in Elune, who represents the essence of 'nature'. If they want to use the magic talisman of the essence of 'penance', they must find a magician who enlightens 'pension' to understand the principle. Makosik City The high priest of the Hidden Tower may be one of the candidates.
These three goblins are not waiting for him specially, but have been staying here to ensure that the secret will not be leaked.
Could it be that the high priest...has been silenced?
Li Liang's face turned pale and he took a few steps forward: "Get out of here."
"It turns out that you are a demigod," the goblin standing in the middle said in a high-pitched voice, slowly raising his staff, "but you shouldn't have appeared when you are still childish..."
Boom!
A bolt of golden lightning interrupted the goblin's words and passed over Li Liang's shoulder.
The loud noise made him shrink his neck, and then he looked to the opposite side, only to see that where the goblin who just spoke was standing had turned into a mass of burnt marks.
He looked shocked, but the two goblins opposite him were even more unbelievable than him. One of them suddenly raised his voice and said with a sonorous tone: "Pulsar Exile, you dare to betray the order of One and hurt a noble..."
Boom!
Another flash of lightning.
Before the goblin could even raise his staff, he was split into a puff of black smoke.
Li Liang's eyes fell on the face of the remaining goblin.
"Pulsar Exiles," she said, obviously gaining wisdom from the experience, and her voice was full of sincerity. "In Ragnarok, when the pulsar was destroyed by the undead, it was the elves and gods who selflessly helped the pulsar survivors. He even helped 'One' become a demigod. From then on, 'One' promised that the Pulsar Exiles would never..."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Liang raised his right hand.
The goblin instinctively took a step back. In Ling's field of vision, the spirit in her throat boiled violently.
However, the next moment, nothing happened, Li Liang just made a false shot.
Got cheated.
She understood instantly, but it was still too late.
Boom!
Golden lightning drowned her figure.
Across the "protective bubble", Li Liang's scalp was still numb, and he slowly looked back. There were large and small "eyes" frozen between the two "antennas" above three-quarters of his body, only slightly opened.
Teemo on the side was stunned, and the hair on his body exploded. He slowly turned his head and said to Three-Quarter: "You can't understand the language of goblins?"
"Zi——" Three-quarters emitted an electromagnetic noise.
Teemo looked dull.
"What did it say?" Li Liang asked.
"It said 'One' told it that only the Pulsar Exiles cannot be eliminated," Teemo finished his answer and turned around again and asked, "Are you sure this is what 'One' said?"
"Zi——"
Teemo looked like his outlook had been refreshed.
At this time.
A series of muffled thunderous sounds came from behind. Li Liang turned around and found a lone door appeared out of thin air in the center of the open space. A slender creature walked out of the door. There were bamboo-like protrusions on the torso, and the top seemed to be parasitized by some kind of fungus. A malformed nodule swells and moves by filamentous tentacles growing from the lower part.
It opened the door and made a sound similar to the vibration of wood. What came out of the translator was: "The high priest is waiting for you."
