Chapter 345 When the sea is frozen

"We must not hide underground." The Queen said seriously, "The cases of Gao Huan and Sheng Dia both tell us that hiding underground can only lead to death."

"The underground resources are scarce, the space is small, and the strategic mobility is extremely poor. Once an earthquake occurs or the entrance is blocked, you can only wait for death. In addition, the underground air lacks mobility, and there is no running water, and plagues are prone to occur." Edmund added.

"That's right. We are the Children of Light, and the earth is our home." Philip laughed.

"From ancient times to the present, from Gaohuan to Xinghai, human beings have always been unable to escape the fate of fighting for the land." Louis said while turning the pencil.

"All living things are the same," replied the Queen. "They must fight to live, and even plants fight for the sun and the soil."

"By the way, does the book say how the land sank into the sea?" Edmund asked.

Jane Bolling replied: "Currently no relevant records have been found, but I personally speculate that it has something to do with ice extrusion."

"Ice squeeze?"

"Yes, the ancient earth had a long period of freezing due to the sudden drop in temperature. This time may have been hundreds of years, or it may have been tens of thousands of years. At that time, the surface temperature dropped to a very low level, so low that even Even the oceans froze. Thick layers of ice lowered the crust, causing it to sink slowly. When the temperature rose, the oceans gradually melted and the crust returned to its original shape."

"This statement is quite new." Philip said, holding his chin.

Rich continued: "We asked some geographers, and they also agreed with this view, that is, the crust rebounded after the freezing period. This theory can also explain why the Xinghai continent and the Sandia continent evolved from archipelagos to entire continents , because the rebound is still continuing. The current sea level is about [-] meters lower than tens of thousands of years ago."

"In this way, it can also explain why there are night devils all over the world. When the ocean freezes, they can easily cross the sea and travel to other lands." Edmund said.

"Did there really be such a cold period on the earth? Even the sea froze..." The queen felt very incredible.

"This is good news." Philip smiled, "Now we don't have to do anything, just wait, and the land area will continue to grow."

"I'm afraid that as the land under the sea rises, those frozen night monsters will also come out of the sky." Louis said in a low voice.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help imagining the scene of a large number of night monsters crawling out of the ground, and their backs couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Academician Jian Bolin, does the book mention Gao Huan people's research on night demons? They have fought against night demons for hundreds of years, so there should be some conclusions or experiences?" Edmund asked.

"We haven't been able to find these yet." Jane Bolin sighed, "because many professional words cannot be deciphered. Now the interpretation of Gao Huan's characters has entered a bottleneck period. Accurate translation. The research and development of high-precision weapons has also been delayed due to the interpretation of the data."

"Isn't it okay to have blueprints?"

"I asked Karakov, the director of the Weapons Research Institute, and he said that his researchers can only understand the information on weapons that are closer to the Xinghai firearms, and those more advanced and powerful weapons cannot be imitated without detailed notes. , I can't even understand the principle of it."

"So we still haven't got any valuable information." The queen said anxiously, "It's been so long, and we're still at a standstill."

"What we need most now is time." Rich said, "To decipher each text, we need to search through a large amount of information, go to thousands of books to find articles containing this word, and then compare them one by one. If these articles If it contains new words that we don’t know, the workload will increase exponentially. It is almost impossible to fully master an unfamiliar language in a short period of time.”

"I also know the difficulty. But we really don't have time. If the translation work can't make progress in a short period of time, we can't pin all our hopes on the Gaohuan people. Edmund, you have to do both Get ready, think about how to fight back against Sifli and Hardy without Gao Huan's weapon." The queen said to Edmund.

"I know, I've been preparing," Edmund said quietly.

"Is there any news from Madeleine and Murphy?"

"Since Miles took refuge in Sifley, Madeleine has fallen out of favor. Now Miles pesters Sifley every day, selling her various offensive strategies. According to Madeleine, Sevley has been to him Quite trustworthy."

"Although Sifly is powerful, she is a night devil after all. She doesn't know how to play tricks. Edmund, find a way to help Madeleine, and don't break this precious thread." The queen ordered.

"I know, I'm already thinking of a way."

"Where's Murphy?"

"She said that Hardy suddenly became interested in reading recently, and tried every means to get a lot of books from humans, reading from morning to night every day, forgetting to sleep and eat."

"Oh? What books does he read?"

"Very mixed, from history to science, novels to dramas, and even children's books."

Hearing this, Philip burst out laughing.

"This is not a funny thing." The queen said seriously. "He can read, which means he is literate and has a strong thirst for knowledge. Based on this alone, he is much better than Sifly."

"Imagine a night demon who is proficient in history, politics, and military affairs! What a terrifying existence that would be." Louis continued.

"Investigate his book buying channels, and strictly prohibit the leakage of books. Anyone who sells books to Hadi without authorization will be punished as treason." The queen ordered.

"I've checked, but it's hard to stop this kind of behavior." Edmund replied, "Because Hardy's men have many night demons who can perfectly disguise humans, and they can sneak into Alifons without us noticing." shield, and quietly buy books."

"Where does their money come from?" Louis asked with interest.

"I don't know, maybe it was theft, or robbery."

"Let Murphy record all the books he has read, especially the ones he reads most, and then give me the list," the queen said.

"I've asked her to do this, and I expect to receive a reply within a few days." Edmund replied.

"Very good, give it to me as soon as you receive it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

While Edmund was talking to the Queen, Murphy was quietly recording Hardy's book list 900 kilometers away.

So far, Hardy has read a full 267 books, and has mastered twice as many words as middle school students.

What's even more frightening is that he is still teaching himself mathematics.

There is no doubt that he is the smartest of all night devils, and the one closest to human beings.

He has his own unique personality, rich emotions, can understand poetry, and even has some aesthetic sense.
