Because all the infinite mycelium had died, Wu Chen wanted to open these "immortal rings" by controlling the "dark crystal ball", but it was impossible at this moment.
Therefore, the only one who can open the "blowpipe" is his high-dimensional hand that can control and grasp everything.
It is just like an electric gate that can be opened manually after a power outage. As long as the integrity of the mycelium structure is not destroyed, Wu Chen can manually open the "blowpipe" that is only formed on the "dispersion day".
It is easier said than done.
Because the "architects" of the inner spherical shell, which is entirely constructed by infinite mycelium, are ancient fungi. Both the form of life and the perception of the world are completely different from humans. Just like the classic saying "curves belong to God". It is also because ordinary people cannot accurately capture the timeline form of "dragon and snake as one", so the simple understanding of three-dimensional space has created a horizontal and vertical "three-dimensional structure".
Simply put, "cube" is the way humans perceive the world, while "sphere" is the way fungi perceive the world.
It doesn't sound complicated. But please note the difference between straight lines and curves, which makes the structure of the inner shell completely beyond the understanding of ordinary humans. Fortunately, Wu Chen's flashing true vision has already deconstructed the entire inner shell.
Under the precise control of the "Ω Microcosm" that flowed out from the demigod-level divinity, Wu Chen used the Skeleton Grip that burned all his skin to complete this wonderful (demigod) level performance.
"Rumble--"
With a loud noise that shook the entire shell, the inner shell, which had been sealed for a long time since the last "Dispersion Day" that completely destroyed the "terrestrial biosphere", started to rotate again. Through the rotating structure of the giant mycelium that had completely withered, it first drove the middle shell, and then drove the outer shell made of the ruins of countless human cities.
Compared to the Vovalini adventure team who were inside the spherical shell with obstructed vision, the scene of looking down at the Arctic Circle from space is extremely thrilling.
Due to the friction and compression of the huge spherical shell, the "bubble ice" condensed in the thick Arctic ice shell turned into gas bombs of varying power. First, beautiful silent sparks bloomed under the transparent ice shell, and as the thick ice shell broke into pieces like glass, terrifying air waves gushed out with huge sonic booms.
It was like a magnificent volcanic eruption, starting from the Kola Deep and spreading to the vast Arctic Circle.
The long flame shot straight into the sky, like a long tongue of fire from the devil of hell, rolling towards the last International Space Station of mankind.
Fortunately, there is one physical rule that cannot be violated: combustion cannot occur in a vacuum.
When the eruption of ice and fire rushed out of the atmosphere, the flames suddenly went out, leaving only countless ice blocks of varying sizes, like a magnificent ice storm crashing head-on into the ISS International Space Station.
"CRASH ALARM—"
The alarm immediately sounded at the ISS International Space Station.
The active defense program started automatically. The defense ring composed of abandoned satellites immediately accelerated its rotation. These defense rings are also called "artificial gravity rings". Artificial gravity refers to the simulation of the effect of gravity on the surface of the earth in space or free fall. The simplest way is to simulate gravity with centrifugal force. Due to inertia, an object moving in a straight line in a rotating system will have a tendency to continue moving in the original direction of movement, but the rotating system itself is rotating, so if you observe from the perspective of the rotating system, you will find that the object is not moving in a straight line, as if the object is affected by some force.
This force is called "Coriolis force". "Coriolis force" is essentially still a manifestation of the inertia of an object, so it is also a virtual force. Obviously, as long as humans move in a rotating space station, they will be affected by the "Coriolis force", and because its size is directly proportional to the rotation speed, the higher the rotation speed, the greater the impact on humans. This means that a space station with a rotation radius that is too small or a rotation speed that is too fast is not suitable for humans. If humans are in such a space station, they will experience dizziness, nausea, and direction recognition disorders at the least, or even coma directly. Therefore, it is necessary to build a space station with a large enough rotation radius and limit its rotation speed to a range acceptable to humans. Relevant studies have shown that when the rotation speed is less than 30 seconds per circle, the impact of the "Coriolis force" on humans can be ignored. According to the formula, it can be calculated that in this case, the rotation radius needs to reach about 224 meters to produce artificial gravity equivalent to standard gravity.
So when the "artificial gravity ring" surrounding the main structure of the ISS International Space Station accelerated its rotation from 30 seconds per circle, a spherical curtain-shaped "shield" was created.
The ice cubes were not meteorites. Their hardness was far from being able to compete with artificial satellites. They were all crushed by the high-speed rotating "artificial gravity ring".
The flying ice fragments hit the transparent portholes of the ISS International Space Station, but they no longer posed a threat.
“Is everyone okay?” Ms. Anousheh Ansari asked loudly, staring at the porthole where a hailstorm was falling.
"It's okay, ma'am. The cabin is intact and no obvious air leaks have been detected. No spores have been detected in the crushed ice." The security chief of the ISS International Space Station appeared on the screen.
"Oh my God, look everyone." Before Ms. Anousheikh Ansari could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard her companions' exclamations.
The ice in the atmosphere was instantly evaporated by the flames, turning into a thick cloud of steam that enveloped the Arctic Circle. Through the increasingly thin eye of the storm, the scene on the ground became clearer and clearer.
"Oh my God..." Ms. Anousheh Ansari felt as if a boil had grown on her head. The spherical shell formed by the adhesion of huge human urban clusters exuded endless horror, and even people without trypophobia would feel a chill in their hearts.
If we regard the urban jungle of steel and concrete as the "shell" of human civilization, and humans as "molluscs" living in a protective shell like snails, then the earth, where 70 billion "molluscs" have been devoured and only a dead shell remains, is the original appearance of the greed of fungi.
The ruins of human cities, held together by infinite mycelium, looked like piles of empty shells in a garbage dump, exposed without any cover.
But this time, it is no longer humans who stand at the top of the food chain, but ancient fungi. They have eaten up the entire biosphere of the earth. The originally thick ice layer has become a fig leaf intentionally or unintentionally. When this pure fig leaf is lifted all at once, the ugliness of the fungal ecology of endless devouring, reproduction, devouring and reproduction is immediately exposed.
Just when everyone was silent about the tragic situation of the Earth with "sores on the head and pus on the soles of the feet", the connection between the earth and the sky of the ISS International Space Station was quietly opened.
"'Doomsday Fortress-279', calling the ISS International Space Station."
"ISS International Space Station received. Is that you, Wu Chen?" Ms. Anousheikh Ansari closed her eyes tightly, trying her best to erase the scene that frightened her.
"It's me, ma'am." The moment the video was connected, Wu Chen saw the female astronaut with her eyes closed and a pale face. In fact, these humans who escaped to space must not be ordinary people in the early 21st century. At least they are much more mentally resilient than ordinary people.
"Huh..." She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Ms. Anousheh Ansari slowly opened her eyes and said, "Great, Wu Chen. Your mission is over. Get out of the Arctic Circle as soon as possible. Go as far as you can. You still have 12 hours."
是了。距离2029年4月14日4点50分的倒计时钟，还有大约12个小时。
