4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution - Vol 9 Chapter 88
This position is quite different from the previous paragraph.
Some of Lin’s arms are now located in the second half of the shortcut, only more than 100,000 kilometers away from the exit.
There are many kilometer-sized things floating in the air here, like black ooze.
They are not rover corpses, nor part of the land mass, but a substance of unknown meaning. At present, Lin has not found any creatures or interesting things on them. It seems to be some floating debris.
And the exit of the shortcut is not like a huge hole at the entrance. The holes at the exit are very small. Their diameter is only about 100 meters, and there are quite a lot of them. There are tens of thousands of them gathered at the end of the shortcut.
Each of them is an exit of a space, and Lin detected that they all lead to different locations, but I don’t know which one leads to the dark side of the void.
The troops that Lin came here were also a group of pompoms with a length of more than ten meters. They moved towards the exits at different positions. When they approached, they also spilled a large number of miniature troops and let them fly into the surrounding holes.
When these troops entered the cave, Lin found… it seems that many caves have nothing in them.
Inside most of the holes is a space hundreds of meters in diameter, and there is nothing but fine dust in it.
However, Lin still had a pompom that entered a special place.
This place is also a space with a size of several hundred meters, but there is a lot of content in it. Lin found that there are a lot of… pipes.
Each tube has a length of more than ten meters, the outer shell is transparent, and there are many small objects inside.
Lin found that something in a tube was the same as what was floating in the shortcut now. It was some tiny floating fragments of land masses, and their location was similar to what was seen in the shortcut now.
So these tubes are shortcuts… miniatures? However, Lin did not find the body of the rover inside, only the fragments of the land mass.
As for the other pipes, there are some different things, some are also like fragments of land blocks, and some are things that have nothing to do with land blocks, in short, they are not the floating objects in the shortcut.
Lin found that no matter whether moving the tubes or disassembling and assembling the contents, it would not have any effect on the current shortcut. These should only be used for records.
Could this be the room of the shortcut’s ‘manager’?
Although Lin is not sure if there is a manager, but according to the change of shortcut, it seems that something is controlling all this.
It’s just that Lin didn’t find any creatures in this space.
Then Lin continued to explore these tens of thousands of openings. Many of the openings were not attached to the space wall at the end of the shortcut, but floated in the air, but no matter where the openings were, they were empty.
Lin originally thought that there would be something interesting to find in so many holes, but then Lin didn’t find any…things.
In the remaining caves, at most, only a few floating objects such as rocks were found inside, and there was nothing else.
And after Lin’s exploration, she also came to the conclusion that the reason why this place is so strange is because this place is not the end of the shortcut.
This place with many ‘holes’ is actually a space wall standing in a shortcut.
These openings are actually some small spaces created by this wall. They are not the exits to the shadows of the void, just some small spaces that are not very meaningful.
Of course, it’s not all meaningless. There is a small space that is used as a place to place shortcut models. At present, Lin doesn’t know who made these models, but Lin feels that it is necessary to pass through the wall of this space, so Lin plans to Just let the ‘Shadow Train’ drive in here.
It’s not impossible to make a device that can pass through the walls of space using the things in the shortcut, but because the resources and the constantly changing environment here will take longer to get it, it is much easier to let the train come in directly.
There are enough tools on the train to allow Lin to move forward in the complex environment of space.
At present, Lin’s shadow train has stayed on a large number of land masses for a while, and many creatures have boarded Lin’s train and tried to seek a new life in the dense jungle on the surface of the carriage.
What they didn’t expect was that the train did not intend to leave this place, but drove directly towards the giant cave that they had made doomsday.
Even so, not many creatures have opinions, or they don’t know who to speak to, and when the train starts moving, these creatures hide in some caves and other places.
Lin found that some of the creatures who got on the train were ‘Doomsday Cultists’. They seemed to come here looking forward to the sight of the train entering the Doomsday. These believers did not hide, but climbed up the higher mountains as much as possible to observe the surroundings.
Just as the believers had expected, and the non-believers had already feared, the train entered the dark giant hole.
At the moment of entering, the carriage of the train sends out gravitational waves, pushing away a large number of fragments and moving towards the depths of the shortcut.
What the Doomsday believers want to see is the scene of the train being destroyed by the Doomsday Giant Cave. They are quite shocked that the moment they imagined did not come, and they were even more shocked that it was not as ‘hell’ as they thought, It is a view that is not very different from the outside world.
As for the hiding creatures, they also slowly noticed the calmness of the outside world. When they left their hiding positions and looked up to the sky, they could see all kinds of debris that were bumped around, but none of them landed on the surface.
The current shortcut is still in a calm period, and everything here has no effect on the train’s progress, until Lin approaches the middle position… Lin saw the previous storm again.
The time of the storm’s appearance was different from before, and the scale was exactly the same as before. It first appeared from the exit of the shortcut, and then hit the interior.
Lin’s train did not stop moving, and soon all the carriages were shrouded in the storm, and the floating objects around were colliding frantically, but none of them hit the carriage, and the jungle on the carriage was as calm as usual.
Because the debris here is mainly pulled by the ‘force’ and collided with each other, and the gravitational device of the Lin train can resist the interference of this ‘force’.
When the storm slowly stopped, the train had already traveled close to Lin’s target, which was the space wall full of holes.
The wall of this space is very large, and it completely blocks the entire shortcut. I don’t know where it came from, but it is actually not very ‘thick’, and Lin feels that it has not been established for a long time.
Lin’s train can dig it directly to reach the real end of the shortcut.
