Mecha Star Wars.

Because of the tree canopy hypothesis, the second sea exploration team was divided into two groups.

Lin Fan went north along the coast and explored the northeast corner of the land plate. Antonio went south. In order to avoid the poisonous spot of Penang, he also went a long way west.

Don't look at this red-haired guy who always cries and begs for protection from Lin Fan, it's just because he likes to play.

Apollo's strength is not much worse than that of Star without mines. What really widens the gap is the physical fighting skills of the two, but this advantage does not make much difference to single-cell monsters infected with mutations.

When it came to actually taking action, Antonio was much more ruthless than Lin Fan.

After the two mechas entered the sea, they passed through the nausea-blocking floating layer and quickly advanced to the previously determined coordinates.

This time they had a clear goal, and the two of them also carefully observed the direction of the rock formations above. They found that they were indeed concave inland.

"Let me tell you," Antonio hid in a dark cave, avoiding the giant shadow, and whispered, "are the land plates really put together as Vice Admiral Cen said?"

The Noah's signal was connected to the mecha, but usually when Antonio wasn't pointing in a specific direction, he was talking to Lin Fan.

"You'll know when you get there." Lin Fan's voice was slightly breathy.

She was not as lucky as Antonio and met the monsters head-on. They snatched and robbed neatly, killed indiscriminately, and took the opportunity to escape.

"Oh, you won the prize." Antonio smiled, "I just said your white color is too conspicuous, right? Look at me, it almost blends in with the shadow."

Xingchen's mecha itself is white, and the outer armor material is also reflective, making it look like a big white pearl in the sea.

On the contrary, Apollo's body is black and gray. Except for the eyes and a small area of ​​the thruster, which are brighter, even the local red is a darker red, which is indeed less conspicuous in the sea.

"..." Lin Fan quickly swam behind a rock wall and replied angrily, "I don't know who was bitten by the monster last time and screamed for support. If I remember correctly, it seems... …”

"Hey, hey," Antonio answered awkwardly, "That happened to be the fault of someone else... Okay, okay, I was wrong. This topic is over, let's move on to the previous one."

Cen Fangyuan brought a lot of news that day.

For example, they combined anecdotes about the geography of Tiandu Star and discovered that the geology of many places in the interior has abnormal fault connections.

The normal transition of geological layers should be gentle. Even if the geological structures on both sides are misaligned due to compression and fracture due to crustal movement, the basic distribution is still the same, or similar.

But Tiandu Xing is not. It has several places. The soil quality, sand layer, and even the distribution of animals and plants in two adjacent places are completely different or even contradictory. It's as if shapes cut from different plates were forced together.

Biological researchers have not been idle either. They have sorted out the distribution of organisms before the end of Tiandu Planet and found that just like geology, organisms seem to be bound by an invisible line, each with its own characteristics.

Even plants that are most likely to cross borders firmly guard their territory and never cross the border.

"Boundary?" This was the first reaction that came to Lin Fan's mind.

"No," Cen Fangyuan shook his head, "There is no physical isolation, but the animals and plants are... It seems that each piece of land has its own special restrictions, so that the creatures originally attached to it cannot jump to each other."

"It's like an ice field next to a volcano, with snow falling on one side and fire erupting on the other. Everyone is busy doing their own thing." Jin Sichen saw that Lin Fan was confused and hurriedly gave a concrete explanation.

"Similar, but not so opposite." Cen Fangyuan nodded, "The same goes for living things. Chickens are chickens and ducks are ducks. The barriers are clear. Unless someone takes them away, they seem to follow invisible rules and never cross that line. ”

"It's amazing," Antonio said, wanting to see it. "But what does this have to do with us?"

"The power of rules..." Lin Fan looked at Jin Sichen, but the dark lenses could not give her any feedback.

"Originally, I didn't think of alien planets. Even if they are abnormal, they are normal. But after your canopy theory came, I suddenly thought of these anomalies. Is it possible that these plates were originally separated independently, and now they are separated by the World Tree? Put it together?"

"Huh?" Antonio was dumbfounded.

"But..." Lin Fan pondered, "Assuming that is the case, why put different continents together? Even small island countries can survive independently...ah!"

"If they don't have 'roots'," Cen Fangyuan suddenly realized and Lin Fan continued with a smile, "the land that is too small to float on the sea will naturally not be stable as a whole. Of course, this is based on the canopy of your continent. under the conditions established.”

Therefore, the priority of exploring the sea this time changed from exploring the world tree to confirming the structure of the land under the sea, and whether the structure at the "patchwork" has the same fault connection as the ground.

The opinion given by experts is that if the continent is really "pieced together", there should be obvious fault differences not only above but also below.

It seems that it has nothing to do with finding the World Tree, but if you think about it carefully, what kind of thing can tightly connect the broken plates? Could it be the World Tree?

It seems that she is nowhere to be seen, but she is everywhere.

It is a terrible hypothesis that the world tree supports the entire continent, but if it is true, then this dying planet seems to have a chance of recovery.

"The rock formations under the plate I see here are different from the model." Antonio was very serious when talking about business. "It's not a falling stalactite, but more like a palace in disrepair. The pillars are still standing, but the walls are It’s dilapidated and has a lot of holes inside, making it a good place to hide.”

"My side looks like shale," Lin Fan replied. "It's layer by layer, moving inward. There's no place to hide."

No wonder! Antonio silently lit a candle for Lin Fan in his heart, and suddenly reminded him, "Don't use your electricity if you can, because water conducts electricity!"

Lin Fan hadn't thought of this yet, but after he reminded him, he started to think about it seriously: "Aren't you that far away? I can't shock you anyway. Well, how about I try next time?"

"You will die if you try! Sister, you must not!" Antonio's voice was much louder, "I was lucky if you didn't electrocute me last time, but no one will save me this time! If you really want to try , please wait until I’m not in the water, sister!”

Apollo's huge mecha was stamping its feet anxiously in the water, almost kowtowing.

Naturally, Lin Fan couldn't see it from here. She wanted to say that she was sure, but in the water... she had never tried the conductive damage to her own people before, and the sea water was not normal either... Well , let’s forget it first.

Antonio burst into tears of gratitude when she relented, but he got carried away and bumped into a seahorse. It was like a giraffe the size of an elephant, ticking towards him. He subconsciously grabbed his hand back, pulled out part of the sword, stuffed it back, and struck out with his bare hands.

Lin Fan's side wasn't easy either. Because there is no cover and it is a conspicuous package, monsters will take action at least eight times out of ten. Fortunately, I ate for several days before coming down, so there was no shortage of energy.

Thank you for who I was the other day! She gave herself a thumbs up in her mind and continued to accelerate towards the predetermined coordinates.

Running the map is really time-consuming. Even if the monsters on the road didn't cause any major obstacles to the two mechas, it would still be a few hours before they reached their goals.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked when I actually saw it.

The obviously different shapes and colors of the rock formations, as well as the obvious boundaries, and the uneven heights of the mountains under the sea... all confirm that the guess of the combination is correct.

Everyone was immersed in the huge shock and could not recall it for a long time, but Lin Fan rushed into a gap and stabbed it.

The hard rocks were scattered into the sea like slag as the tip of the spear was waved.

"What's wrong?" Cen Fangyuan said.

Lin Fan moved closer to the hole that she had dug out.

In the dark sea water and the dark rock formations, a faint blue-purple light was clearly visible.

Does anyone have a guess what's going on?
