Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 263 The Underground World
At this moment, Chen Xuan was sitting in the driver's seat, looking around, there was fire everywhere.

Below are large areas of flowing magma lakes, and occasionally there is a small piece of land. Above the head and at the end of the line of sight are dark mountain walls, in which some crystal obsidian can be seen.

This appears to be a special mountain rock formed by the cooling of magma.

He felt as if he had come to the legendary hell.

Not even sea water can extinguish the flames and heat here.

If you go out without any protective measures now, it is probably no different from taking a bath in scalding boiling water.

And that ultra-ancient city is hidden in it.

However, Chen Xuan turned his head and looked around, his sight was all red and black, and he didn't see anything like a building.

"Old guys, I have entered the underground world now, what should I do next, where is your city?"

Chen Xuan asked the ultra-ancient consciousness body in his mind.

"The underground world is also uneven, with ups and downs in the terrain. The closer to the bottom, the higher the geothermal energy that can be used."

"As long as you continue down the terrain, you will naturally see our city in the end."

"Speaking of which, I have a question. I have seen your city in my memory, but it was obviously built in the sea. Why is it now underground?"

Chen Xuan asked the question that had been in his heart all along.

"Actually, our city can move, and you can understand it as a super-giant vehicle."

"And what you saw before was only the initial scene. Although the world had been transformed by floods for a period of time at that time, we were still more adapted to life on the surface. In addition, the resources on the surface were sufficient at that time to maintain demand, so the city still naked."

"However, the energy gradually decays later, and this decay starts from the surface. The deeper the place, the slower the decay rate. The resources on the surface can no longer support the consumption of maintaining the operation of the city. Therefore, we had to move to the deepest place that could be reached at that time. place."

Next, Chen Xuan didn't ask any more questions, and drove the "Kunpeng" slowly forward.

The ultra-ancient consciousness body is right. The terrain here is relatively obvious. As long as you follow the trajectory of the magma flow, you can easily find places with low terrain.

Although this is a vast and boundless world, Chen Xuan feels that this space as a whole is like a cauldron, and the ultra-ancient city is at the bottom of the cauldron.

Because the geothermal resources here are very rich, he turned on the "multifunctional power generation module" and activated the "thermal power generation" mode.

Along the way, you can occasionally see some small volcanic landforms, from which magma erupts from time to time.

In addition, Chen Xuan also saw many special local creatures.

There is a strange ray with a crimson upper half and a pitch black lower half.

There are also strange spherical plants that are transparent and crystal-like like crystals.

Also, the red light spots in the floating sea can be seen everywhere. According to the ultra-ancient consciousness body, this is a special kind of spore that only grows in the underground world.

Chen Xuan looked around and found that most of the bodies of the creatures here seemed to be made of inorganic substances.

Moreover, the appearance of all creatures is either black and red, like molten volcanic rocks.

Or it is crystal clear and translucent, like a crystal.

I am afraid that this is also due to the influence of the local high temperature, which made these creatures have to produce such a mutation.

Chen Xuan casually glanced at the dashboard, wanting to see the surrounding terrain distribution.

However, he suddenly discovered that the fuel number on the dashboard had dropped a bit at some point, and it was dropping rapidly.

This scene made Chen Xuan's eyes widen.

What the hell, what's going on?
Even though it was fine when it first entered the underground world, how could the fuel be consumed so quickly now?
I didn't do anything myself.

Chen Xuan glanced at the situation of the ship.

On the outside of the hull, he made some discoveries.

I saw countless tiny bug-like things adsorbing on the surface of the hull.

These worms seem to be made of obsidian, and they are wriggling slightly at this moment, as if they are sucking something.

Every time they squirm, their bodies will emit a faint fire light.

There is no doubt that this is the culprit that caused the accelerated energy consumption of the "Kunpeng".

Chen Xuan immediately subconsciously activated the "stab" form, trying to drive these bugs away.

As the surface of the "Kunpeng" fluctuated, countless spikes grew densely.

In his mind, these bugs are a bit like the biochemical sucker fish he came into contact with before, they are all the same, and they should be easily removed with sharp spikes.

However, Chen Xuan miscalculated.

For these rock-like bugs, the spikes have no effect on them.

These bugs found a living space in the gaps of countless spikes, and continued to absorb the energy of the "Kunpeng".

What the hell are these bugs?
He hurriedly asked the ultra-ancient consciousness body.

"Oh? So it's an energy-absorbing insect." The voice in my mind gave the answer.

"What is that?" Chen Xuan was puzzled.

"This is a creature that only appears underground. Energy absorbers are extremely sensitive to energy, and they can absorb energy from all objects."

"Wait, didn't you say that the 'Kunpeng' can block the perception of living things? Then what's the matter with this energy-absorbing insect?"

"That's right, but the energy absorber came here after sensing the high-purity energy fluctuations from your vehicle. In its eyes, this is just a stone containing high-purity energy."

"This kind of thing should be said earlier, old guys, can you be more reliable?" Chen Xuan was speechless.

"Don't get excited. Although these energy-absorbing bugs are annoying, they are not dangerous. Besides, you have activated the 'multifunctional power generation module'. With the power generation efficiency of geothermal heat, you can barely maintain it. consumption."

"Fuck, I keep it for my own use, so without further ado, what should I do with these energy-absorbing insects now?"

"It's simple, you just need to emit a strong current to drive them away."

Strong current, this is currently not possible for me.

To release current, either activate the "Element Conversion Module" in [Black Technology Module], or activate the "Quantum Battle Module" in [Vehicle Technology].

------

"Element Conversion Module": With it, you have initially mastered the power of nature.Requirements: 50 units of metal, 50 units of oil, 10 units of gold, 10 units of magnetic fine gold, and 10 units of cold jade.

------

Quantum battle mod: a powerful killer, please use it with caution. (Not activated, requirements: "Nuclear Energy Reaction Module" has been activated, "Metal" 500 units, "Magnetic Energy Fine Gold" 20 units.)
------

The former is used by him personally, so it is naturally not as powerful as the latter.

But the "quantum combat module" needs to unlock the "nuclear energy reaction module" as a prerequisite.

And the most important thing is that he has neither "magnetic energy fine gold" nor "gold".

The ultra-ancient consciousness has said that "magnetic energy fine gold" can be found in the underground world, where is it?

"Magnetic fine gold is mixed in these magma and volcanic rocks, but it requires certain technology to collect and refine it."

"I don't have such skills." Chen Xuan wanted to curse.

"You don't have to worry, there are integrated mining-related equipment in the 'smart home module', you can find it when you look for it. Or, there is a simpler and more convenient way."

"We have built corresponding excavation and refining equipment near several ore veins, and there should be a lot of finished products in it. I just don't know if those equipments are well preserved after so long."

"As for the gold, don't you have it yourself?"

"Huh??? When did I have gold?"

"It's in that little tin cabinet of yours."

In the small tin cabinet?

Could it be?
Chen Xuan's heart moved, and he took out the safe that had been dusty for a long time from the corner of the cabin.

He found this from the Times Building by himself, and threw it aside because he couldn't open it. It's been too long, and he almost forgot that he still has such a thing.

It used to be filled with gold.

But think about it, for modern people, isn't it just to decorate these things in the safe?

Today is different from the past. It is not difficult to open the safe that made Chen Xuan helpless in the past.

He directly absorbed all the metal materials of the safe into the material space.

And the gold nuggets that had been buried in it were able to see the light of day again after the safe disappeared.

After the gold is settled, the next thing is "magnetic fine gold".

Chen Xuan began to look for the mines of ultra-ancient humans again.

After a while, he finally found a suspected building on a hill formed by volcanic rock.

This is a medium-sized cylindrical building with a silver-white color, which is very conspicuous in the current black-red environment.

Roughly estimated, the height of this building is about 20 meters, and the area is about 50 square meters.

Chen Xuan stopped the "Kunpeng" slowly, then turned over and rode on Leopard Bao, and headed towards the silver-white building.

Because these materials are all special materials and cannot be stored in the storage space, there will probably be more things to be taken later, so it is more convenient to carry Leopard Bao.

I have to say that the temperature outside is really frighteningly high. Even a Leopard with a full level of survivability can't bear the high temperature here.

If it wasn't for Chen Xuan to wrap Leopard Bao with a psychic shield in time, Leopard Bao might have been cooked on the spot.

And the ultra-ancient technology is still quite strong, even after a long time, it still doesn't look damaged at all.

Surrounding the silver-white building, Chen Xuan found a light blue light door.

Leaping in from the light gate, he found himself in a room, the style of the room was exactly the same as the laboratory he had visited in Tianshuang Plateau before.

The same is smooth and neat, engraved with various straight stripes, just like walking on a circuit board.

In the center of the room, there is a huge pit and a huge platform. There is also a suspected conveyor belt on the platform, extending towards the pit.

Inside the deep pit is rolling magma.

Chen Xuan went straight to the platform, where there were piles of black and light yellow solids.

These should be the metal materials mined by ultra-ancient people.

Facing these things in front of him, Chen Xuan activated the "Movable Type Illustrated Book Module".

------

Name: Magnetic fine gold

Type: special material

Features: Under the influence of geomagnetism, heat, and high-concentration variable energy, high-quality metals have a certain chance to form, and the appearance is black.

Due to the special formation conditions, magnetic energy fine gold is not only stronger than ordinary metals, but also this metal has strong magnetic energy, and has extremely strong conduction and carrying capacity for energy.

------

Name: Uranium Crystal
Type: special material

Features: High-purity enriched uranium, light yellow in appearance, can be used in nuclear reactors, nuclear weapons, etc.

------

Is this black thing in front of him the "magnetic energy fine gold" he was looking for?
If this thing is placed outside, you will miss it if you don’t look carefully. There is no difference in the color of the magnetic energy fine gold and the mountain wall, and the two are almost exactly the same.

Chen Xuan took out the fishing net and put all the magnetic energy fine gold slips into it.

"By the way, you'd better take those pale yellow uranium crystals with you. They are the materials that need to be consumed to use the "nuclear energy reaction module"."

Hearing what the ultra-ancient consciousness body said, Chen Xuan packed up all the uranium crystals and took them away.

He went back and forth twice before he searched all the things. He was fine, but Leopard Bao, who was the porter, was exhausted, laying on the side and panting uncontrollably.

Chen Xuan came to the cabin, faced the piles of black magnetic energy fine gold, and called out the system panel.

Activate the "Element Transformation Module"!
Activate the "Quantum Battle Mod"!
Activate the "Nuclear Reactor Module"!
Now that he obtained the relevant materials, Chen Xuan immediately unlocked the three technologies.

Immediately, a dazzling red light burst out from the "Kunpeng".

But this red light is not conspicuous in such a place full of fire.

Chen Xuan had expected this.

Otherwise, how could he dare to activate the module so hastily.

After a period of time, the system's loading success prompt came.

In the cabin, a separate metal room suddenly appeared. In the room, there was a tall and heavy cylindrical instrument with an operating table attached.

This is the "nuclear energy reaction module".

At this time, the equipment is quiet, because no nuclear fuel has been added.

As he slowly poured the light yellow crystals in, the huge equipment suddenly lit up, and there was a buzzing sound. Chen Xuan discovered that the energy of the "Kunpeng" was rising rapidly.

You know, this is when there are still many energy-absorbing insects outside.

With nuclear energy, the "Kunpeng" will never have to worry about energy issues from now on.

Next, there are those troublesome guys outside the ship.

With a thought in Chen Xuan's mind, a white mask immediately wrapped the "Kunpeng".

As soon as the mask appeared, all the energy-absorbing insects were instantly bounced off, and they all froze in mid-air, obviously killed by high-voltage current.

This is the "quantum armor" form of the "quantum combat module", which can form electron beams on the surface of the ship, absorb and resolve the impact, and cause certain damage.

Problem solved, Chen Xuan started again.

After a while, a phantom of a huge building appeared at the end of his vision.
