Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1895: Guidance from the Ancestors
With the storm chasing them from behind, they didn't dare to waste time after arriving at the Rainbow Bridge and chose to teleport immediately. The camp here also had the fewest records left. Only the Rainbow Bridge could survive the storm and remain intact for tens of millions of years. As they completed the teleportation, they arrived at a broken floating continent.
"This is Watt Alheim. According to the records of previous explorers, the continent here has been broken and the gravity is chaotic. The entire continent has been cut in half, with only huge roots connecting the middle. This is also the biggest test for our car. How to pass through the independent broken continents is the biggest problem we will face next.
Before this, the exploration team had to walk, and the mountaineering equipment they carried with them could help them overcome these rugged obstacles. But now we have not only off-road vehicles, but also tracked vehicles, which greatly increases the difficulty of passing through those areas. "
Wendell took the lead in explaining the situation of this continent to everyone.
Helena took out the magic equipment and tested the surrounding environment. A happy expression appeared on her face: "We can stay here for a while longer. This time we have enough food and water. The intensity of magic radiation here is even lower than that in Midgard.
We can completely turn off the amulet and rely solely on the sealing of the vehicle to resist the invasion of these radiations. We can take this opportunity to send drones to scout the surrounding environment and draw a map. Combined with the maps left by our predecessors, we can leave a more detailed topographic map of Watt Alheim in the camp."
Everyone agreed with this view. Apart from the gravitational anomaly, this continent is actually quite suitable for human survival. When the original light seekers found this place, they actually had the idea of immigrating here.
But the shield could not be moved, and without the protection of the shield, it was too difficult for humans to survive independently on such a wasteland. So the trip was ultimately unsuccessful. However, with relatively sufficient food and water, it was entirely possible for the Light Seekers to rest here for a while, and it was also reasonable to take this opportunity to scout the surrounding environment.
Lan Nuo also nodded: "Wendel told me about the situation of each country before. I have designed the environment for each country. We have special lighting facilities on the car. I will release it next, and then rely on the drone on the roof to cruise the entire country, take pictures and draw precise maps. Magic energy can only store the image of the map for a short time.
Tanarossa, you should be able to draw maps. Come with me and draw these maps as quickly as possible."
While everyone was still wondering what preparations he had made in advance, a small hot air balloon was released from the roof of the SUV. It looked as big as the SUV, but it was actually made of extremely light cloth that was folded and inflated.
Like a giant Kongming lantern, the hot air balloon flew into the sky, flying higher and higher, and under the control of magic, it flew towards the center of the continent.
"Such a small lamp can't illuminate the entire country. What's the point of releasing it?" someone couldn't help but ask curiously.
However, his curiosity was soon answered. As the drone took off, the seemingly dim sky lanterns in the sky suddenly shone brightly.
“I actually hung a flare on it, and it had enough fuel to keep burning for about five minutes, intensely burning magnesium, so it lit up most of the continent in that short period of time.
I have several of these flares with me. I will release them one by one until we have a complete map. With the map, we can plan a route that allows the car to pass directly through this rugged terrain. "
Everyone nodded repeatedly. If there was a complete map, all these troublesome problems could be solved.
With the strong light shining, the drone was able to capture a complete image at high altitude. After a while, as the light went out, the drone returned to the vehicle, and everyone immediately began to draw a map based on the images sent back.
Lanno was obviously the most professional, and Tanarossa, as a scholar, also had relevant professional skills, while the others could only draw blindly according to the pictures, trying to record as many details as possible before the pictures disappeared.
After a flurry of activity, everyone roughly came up with a topographic map of one quarter of the area. With these maps, the next action would be much easier.
Flares were released several times in succession. The effect was also very significant. A map of the entire continent was drawn. Most of the roots connecting the two continents were rugged and difficult to pass, but there were still a few relatively flat ones that allowed vehicles to pass.
After planning the route, they found the most feasible route, which also had a platform with a height of about five meters.
If the car cannot cross this platform, it will not be able to move forward.
Facing this platform, everyone also made two preparations. One was to use existing tools to pile up soil under the platform to create a slope. With such a slope, the car might be able to drive directly up.
But the drop is still a bit too big, and the places where soil can be taken are not too close, even if there are vehicles to help transport it. If you want to build a slope that is too long, it will take too long. It is obviously not worth wasting a lot of materials here.
So another parallel solution is to drill holes in the rock above the slope to build a stable platform. Then install a winch on the platform. As long as a slope is built slightly, the winch can be used to forcibly pull the car up the slope.
After making a plan, everyone set out immediately. After seeing the hope of going to Asgard, even the few gamblers who joined reluctantly were full of energy at this moment. If they can go back alive, it will definitely be a glorious return home. No matter what ridiculous things they did in the first half of their lives, they will become heroes of the entire civilization next. When they arrived at the cliff with a huge drop, everyone began to borrow vehicles for transportation and transported baskets of soil to the bottom of the cliff. The 5m height drop does not sound large, but in fact, the amount of earthwork required is extremely large. They lack suitable building materials. If they simply pile up the earth slope, they must expand in three directions at the same time. It will waste a lot of earthwork, which is also unavoidable. The conditions limit them to build the slope to a maximum of degrees, which is already the workload of more than a dozen people for three days.
This slope is difficult to drive up even for a tracked vehicle. Fortunately, at the same time, the holes in the huge rock have been drilled, and the platform built with expansion screws is very stable. As several people on it pushed the winch to turn slowly, the car was pulled up from the steep slope.
They have encountered difficulties like this countless times, big or small, but they have successfully overcome them all by relying on limited tools and each other's wisdom. This is the biggest advantage of intelligent creatures over wild animals. Even if the conditions are limited, they can use the limited conditions and their own wisdom to create miracles.
The convoy set off again. Even though the supplies had been consumed a little, they still had more than enough. Following the rugged and winding road, they finally arrived at the next teleportation point. After crossing the rainbow bridge this time, they would arrive at Muspelheim, the most extreme and harsh environment.
This place is full of magma lakes, and the land is just a series of small islands floating on the magma lakes. Any wave of hot lava can burn people into charcoal.
Most of the exploration teams stopped here. But they did not come in vain. Many people used the supplies they brought with them to build suspension bridges on these islands. With these suspension bridges, the later ones were able to surpass the records of their predecessors again and again, and finally completely crossed this magma lake and reached the rainbow bridge on the other side.
"The terrain ahead won't allow us to drive in any way. Everyone grab the supplies you can carry with you. We'll have to walk from now on. But it will be soon. After crossing this country, we'll only have Vanaheim left. As long as we can get through Vanaheim filled with poisonous gas, we can surpass our predecessors' records and find Asgard." Although everyone gave up the vehicle, Wendel still encouraged everyone's morale. This level seems very thrilling, but in fact it is not difficult. The biggest danger comes from the temperature. The magma all around makes the temperature exceed 80 degrees even if we are not on the lake.
In the past, they had to have an ice magician to help them cool down in order to maintain their body temperature and avoid being cooked in this space.
But this time everyone was wearing close-fitting power armor, and as the compression machine inside started up, the air conditioning maintained everyone's body temperature at normal levels.
The only problem is that fuel is constantly consumed during the operation, and they have to pass as quickly as possible.
This level is the easiest because the Light Seekers of the past came to this level again and again, using the chains and steel plates they brought with them to build suspension bridges between continents.
Although walking on the cable bridge over the lava ocean is very thrilling, in fact, as long as you have enough courage to walk up, it is actually very easy to reach the other side safely.
Everyone knew that the longer they dragged on, the more fuel they would consume, so they quickened their pace. The metal boots and steel plates collided with each other, making a clinking sound. They ran more than 30 kilometers in Mercedes-Benz in half a day, crossing the hottest area in the center of the lake. They could finally turn off the air conditioning a little and rely on the thermal insulation system of the power armor itself to maintain their body temperature.
The teleportation channel in the distance was within reach, but this extreme sport finally caused some damage. In order to rescue his teammates who almost fell into the lake, Andrew's mecha arm was subjected to a huge pulling force beyond the design threshold, and now cracks have appeared. The high temperature environment is destroying the organic material at the cracks, and the sealing of the power armor has been greatly reduced, which forced everyone to speed up and leave this magma hell as soon as possible.
Although the previous generations had built the iron cable bridge, the steel plates on it were burned by high temperatures all year round, and eventually some of them broke down. Andrew was also injured because he stepped on the damaged steel plate while rescuing his teammate.
This would make the subsequent exploration quite troublesome, as they were about to be teleported to Vanaheim, the last country before Asgard. Throughout the ages, only a few Light Seekers could reach this point. Among all the Light Seekers throughout the ages, their performance was already among the best.
The most difficult thing in this area is facing the invasion of poison gas. When the power armor was intact, this was not a problem. The whole body was wrapped in sealed armor, and no matter how strong the poison gas was, it could not hurt people.
But Andrew's power armor was already damaged, and the poison gas might penetrate into his body through the gap. All they could do was to use adhesive to seal the gap as much as possible.
They didn't dare to stay at the Rainbow Bridge for long. The scorching heat was consuming everyone's fuel. They decisively chose to teleport immediately and arrived at Vanaheim, which was much cooler.
It was pitch black here, and even darker than Midgard. In addition to the lack of sunlight, it was also covered by poisonous fog all day long, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
This was also the farthest place that all the light seekers had come to before. If they continued to move forward, they would no longer be able to see the footprints of their predecessors and could only rely on their own strength to explore.
They had to search for the Rainbow Bridge to Asgard on their own, which was the most difficult step.
After Lan Nuo was teleported out of the Rainbow Bridge, he knew that he had to cheat. The fuel of the power armor was limited. Even in energy-saving mode, the lighting equipment, food, and water in everyone's hands could only last for a limited time after losing the logistics of the vehicle. If he used conventional means and groped and explored in the pitch-black night, the probability of finding the Rainbow Bridge before the limit time was less than 10%.
But for others, the task is almost impossible to complete, but for Lan Nuo, it may not be. Because compared with others, his exploration efficiency is countless times higher. As long as there is a rehearsal, his detection range is always his maximum moving speed, multiplied by the circular area with a radius of fifteen minutes, and in the dark, this is undoubtedly equivalent to a super radar, and all the terrain and relics are exposed wherever he passes. This is also the reason why the materials he chose after leaving the car are completely different from those of others.
