Chapter 432
The latest website: The information on Prisoner's Cave is highly confidential, and many scientific research projects of its affiliated research center will involve the official future layout.
"The overall shape of Prisoner's Cave is similar to an upside-down tower, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The higher the upper floor, the wider the space, the more monsters it can accommodate, and its strength is relatively low.
The lowest level of monsters is only slightly stronger than ordinary beasts, and ordinary people who have been trained can destroy them with full armor.
But their numbers..."
Xing Hechou was silent for a while. According to the report sent back by the front-line exploration team, the top floor of the Prisoner's Cave does not seem to obey the physical laws of the real world, and it is difficult to measure the distance.
At the entrance alone, dozens of mountains with a height of three to four kilometers were found.
The interior of the mountain is completely hollowed out, and it is conservatively estimated that there are hundreds of millions of low-level demons inhabiting it...
In the deeper wilderness, towering mountains with similar structures were also found.
How many monsters are there? Even the most optimistic researchers dare not give an answer.
"The Devil's Prisoner's Nest is a prison and laboratory that has been forgotten and abandoned for thousands of years by the Abnormal Society. Over a long period of time, a dynamic and balanced ecosystem has been formed inside it.
Low-level monsters feed on the plant minerals inside the Prisoner's Cave, multiply and are hunted and preyed by more powerful monsters, and the energy released when they die returns to the space between heaven and earth.
Monsters can keep getting stronger by accumulating energy, and even use some hidden passages to go to the next layer of space.
Many of the monsters in the first few floors are social creatures like ants. Occasionally, large-scale wars will break out between the populations, and the replacement speed is very fast.
The further you go down, the stronger and older the monsters are, and even some highly intelligent monsters that survived from ancient times appeared. "
Having said that, Xing Hechou couldn't help but glance at Li Ang,
This brother Li is a person who has personally experienced the mirage dragon **,
The content he heard from Hanba and relayed to the Special Affairs Bureau was analyzed and studied word by word by the think tanks. Every word had to be analyzed to have three meanings, which was more tormented than the appreciation of Chinese in the college entrance examination.
According to the think tank, it is best to ask Comrade Li to come to the Special Affairs Bureau in person,
Put on a helmet that can analyze brain waves into video and audio for them to carefully interpret the subtle expressions on Hanba's face when he said those words.
Whether you want pennants or game currency rewards afterwards, it's easy to say that the Special Affairs Bureau is not short of money.
If Hanba had said a few more words at the beginning, maybe these think tanks would have produced some "dryologists"...
"In short, the frontline exploration team managed to get in touch with some low-level highly intelligent monsters through certain methods.
Combining the information revealed by them with the analysis of ancient classics by modern medicine, we understand why Prisoner's Nest can maintain ecological balance——
The entire prison had produced a high degree of intelligence a long time ago. It used some of the designs of the Abnormality Society to find ways to replenish materials and energy from the outside world during the period of aura exhaustion. "
Li Ang was taken aback when he heard the words, and it was easy to understand the replenishment of materials. The Prisoner's Cave would stealthily engulf the real world, so what's the matter with replenishing energy?
Could it be that the Prisoner's Cave secretly floated away the Red Bull, Snickers, and Momentum that were piled up in the warehouse at the port of Yin City?
As if seeing Li Ang's question, Xing Hechou explained: "The Prisoner's Cave exists in the cracks of the real world. Logically speaking, it and the demons inside it should be like the monks of the Abnormal Society.
It gradually died out due to the exhaustion of spiritual energy.
But somehow, it has learned to separate a part of itself from the real world,
Concentrates light like a convex lens. "
Liu Wushao, who had been silent all this time, was stunned for two seconds, "Wait, you mean..."
"That's right, as early as hundreds of years ago, Prisoner's Nest learned to use itself as a solar panel, basking in the sun every day to replenish energy."
Xing He's sad face couldn't help showing a painful and tense expression, "Supernatural beings cannot survive in an environment where the aura is exhausted, but the prisoner's cave is not life, it is more like a highly intelligent automatic machine.
It steals soil, water, and plant species from the real world, improves the internal environment, makes the internal system achieve a dynamic balance, and feeds a large family in its stomach.
We even think that some of the members of the Ancient Abnormal Society who designed the Prisoner's Cave, as well as the mirage dragon and Hanba who are in charge of guarding it, know this. "
Xing Hechou looked solemnly and said: "The spiritual energy in the outside world is ebbing, and I don't know how long the depletion period will last.
Mirage Dragon and Hanba may have reached some kind of agreement with Prisoner's Nest in secret,
At least they also tacitly allow the Prisoner's Nest to save themselves-only in this way can they survive the long period of exhaustion that may occur.
After all, according to the original design, Mirage Dragon should wipe out most of the monsters when the contract is completed. "
Li Ang thought of the short, mythical girl with fiery red skin, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
"If even the only jailer acquiesces in the secret development of the prison itself, then all this is not surprising."
Xing Hechou shook his head and said: "Fortunately, the restrictions left by the ancient Abnormal Society can still be effective. Those restrictions are part of the Prisoner's Nest, which is equivalent to the underlying code.
Even the prison itself cannot be modified.
For example, you must use hidden passages to travel between layers, and you can only pass through a small number of monsters at a time;
The more powerful the monsters are, the more restrictions they are subject to, and they cannot move freely. The most powerful monsters have not yet regained consciousness;
There is an upper limit on the quantity and quality of monsters between the layers. If the energy reaches the limit that a layer can tolerate, the Prisoner's Nest will automatically start the destruction process of that layer, crushing all the monsters in it—in this way, In the absence of jailers, the monsters are forced to kill each other.
It is these low-level codes that grab us a crucial respite. "
Li Ang frowned and said, "Mochao..."
"Um. "
Xing He nodded sadly and said, "We don't trust those high-level monsters we contacted, but they do know a lot of secrets.
Combining the information from various sources, we believe that the so-called demon tide is likely to be the process of looting material and energy from the outside world due to the underlying code and its own essential needs after getting rid of the shackles of the prisoner's lair, an automatic machine.
In order to allow itself to continue to grow and develop, it is very likely that the Prisoner's Nest will release countless demons from top to bottom, layer by layer, and manipulate them to plunder all the resources of the real world.
This is the so-called magic tide.
Once the tide of demons starts, the hundreds of millions of monsters in the first few layers can still be wiped out with conventional artillery fire, but those monsters in the deeper layers that possess strange and extraordinary power will cause a devastating blow to the order of the real world.
This would be a literal catastrophe. "
