Chapter 553 - 372: Supernatural Force Field Focus_2
With such reckless excavation, the depth he was at increased rapidly.
From seventy thousand meters to eighty thousand meters.
Then from eighty thousand meters to ninety thousand meters...
Until the next day.
He finally reached one hundred thousand meters!
After reaching this depth,
Wang Ye stopped. He quickly deactivated his fermentation metabolism function, and his whole body erupted with scalding fog at a temperature of several hundred degrees Celsius.
Some of the heat was absorbed and converted into energy by Wang Ye’s body, but his absorption rate wasn’t high, so he could only absorb about thirty percent of the heat, with the rest dissipated through his pores.
Soon his body returned to its normal state of 1.9 meters tall, and the external pressure was now exerting real force on his bones and organs,
Previously, due to the fermentation metabolism, his muscles had expanded several times in size, offering protection and support; thus, the external pressure couldn’t directly affect the internal parts, so his bones weren’t significantly stressed. Now, returning to his normal state, the pressure on his bones suddenly increased.
However, even so, Wang Ye only felt a slight pressure. His skin and muscles were mildly burned and under immense pressure, but the diamond within his body wasn’t damaged at all. At most, there was some combustion and oxidation from the high temperature, but the oxidation speed was very slow, and in the instant of oxidation, his body would rapidly mobilize Carbon Atoms to repair the oxidized areas of the bones.
The thing Wang Ye worried about the most was that this excavation method consumed Carbon Atoms very intensely; essentially, swallowing a ton of Carbon Atoms could only sustain him for a dozen hours under such high-intensity excavation.
If this consumption continued, the graphite in storage would soon be exhausted.
Although he could still request more graphite from Old Yi, this kind of consumption was somewhat too wasteful. Synthesizing carbon acetylene as soon as possible was crucial.
From here on, he had no other methods, only to explore deeper depths with this diamond body as much as possible. As long as he could synthesize carbon acetylene once, it could be used for evolution.
Wang Ye’s eyes gleamed, "Let’s see how many meters this diamond body can still support me to."
After an entire day of excavation today, his energy was largely depleted, with few Carbon Atoms or energy left in his body. He needed to return to the surface to rest for two hours and devour a sufficient amount of graphite.
Wang Ye raised his head, suddenly leapt, and with a burst of power from his thighs, his Primordial Qi propelled his body, breaking through the sound barrier instantly, and in about two minutes, he returned to the surface.
After emerging from the pit, he continued soaring several tens of meters into the sky with inertia,
then began to fall towards the ground.
Finally, he landed on the ground with a boom, creating a pit over a meter deep.
After transforming all his bones into diamond, the density of his bones increased many times, and even without stored Carbon Atoms, his body weight exceeded five hundred kilograms.
This is why he created such a large pit just by free-falling.
It was around three o’clock in the morning. Several geologists were preparing their protective equipment and ropes, gearing up to go down and survey. Hearing Wang Ye land, they couldn’t help but turn their heads to look this way.
Actually, they had become accustomed to the momentum of Wang Ye’s high-speed movements over these days, but the impact of his landing this time still surprised them because they could sense that the sound of Wang Ye’s landing was much louder than previous times.
Could Wang Ye’s weight have increased again?
But before they could think further, Wang Ye rose directly and walked towards the warehouse, completely ignoring them, so they had no choice but to organize their protective equipment. Two of them descended to depth on a special cable to survey, while a few others helped with drill sampling using equipment.
Their descent was very slow, and it would take at least half an hour to an hour to reach depths of tens of thousands of meters, ascending back to the surface also required assistance from Wang Ye, but it would still take about half an hour.
Furthermore, their total detection time was only two or three hours, making time very tight. They had to quickly find some valuable samples to bring back to the surface for research after arriving below.
They descended toward the bottom of the pit at the fastest speed, and the surrounding pressure kept rising. Fortunately, their advanced protective suits kept the pressure and high temperature outside, but even so, some pressure and temperature would still transmit to their bodies, as the protective suits couldn’t entirely keep high pressure and high temperature at bay, only serving a protective function to an extent. Therefore, the constitution of these geologists was far superior to ordinary people’s level, honed through years of training to reach a perfect physique not equating to but not much behind astronauts, considering they had to survey in such perilous conditions several tens of thousands of meters beneath the ground.
But today,
they felt the depths of the Earth seemed somewhat different,
They had intended to reach the bottom as usual,
which was the area at 50,000 meters to survey and probe.
However, today, before they even reached the bottom, they already felt unbearable pressure and high temperature.
They hurriedly stopped descending, checking their protective gear and found no malfunction,
leaving only one possibility: the depth beneath the Earth had increased again.
Their faces changed as they communicated using the devices in their protective suits:
"Is it just me, or did this pit get deeper again?"
"I feel it too..."
At this point, a man on the ground responded: "It’s not your imagination. I used the probe to check for you. You’re now at nearly sixty thousand meters deep."
"Sixty thousand meters?!" The two underground exclaimed in unison.
Because looking down, the pit still seemed bottomless, suggesting that Wang Ye might have continued digging much further than the five thousand meters they knew, possibly by ten thousand or even twenty thousand meters.
But they all knew that at this depth, the high pressure and high temperature reached what they calculated to be Wang Ye’s limit. Even if risking his life, he could barely endure an environment of a hundred thousand meters, with the risk of sudden death at any moment. Even if Wang Ye could continue digging deeper, his speed should be very slow, so how could he have continued digging tens of thousands of meters in such a short time?
"Never mind that, just hurry and use the drill to sample further down and bring back some rock samples," reminded the man on the ground.
"Understood." Quickly, they took out their sampling devices, started drilling into the surrounding rocks, taking samples, and storing them in containers.
The reason they needed to venture so deep themselves was the inability to build large devices for drilling in sampling because it would interfere with Wang Ye’s excavation, making manual sampling the most reliable method. They only needed to dive into the deepest area in protective suits and take samples up with small equipment.
After taking enough samples, they returned to the surface with Wang Ye’s help.
By then, Wang Ye had finished devouring sufficient graphite, standing by the pit, assisting with the survey.
The two geologists who had gone down for onsite survey couldn’t help but ask Wang Ye upon reaching the surface:
"How deep did you excavate yesterday?"
"One hundred thousand meters."
"One hundred thousand?!"
Everyone present was stunned by this.
Since they calculated that Wang Ye’s limit of pressure endurance was only a hundred thousand meters,
And upon reaching a hundred thousand meters, Wang Ye’s body would be in critical condition, with potential collapse occurring anytime.
How did Wang Ye suddenly dig down to one hundred thousand meters?
Could their calculations have been wrong?
