Chapter 876 Environmental Crisis
Chapter 876 Environmental Crisis
What can a tractor beam with unlimited energy and maximum power conversion efficiency do?
To give a simple example, Rick's smart little flying saucer is dragging a few stars around like it's playing.
The mass of a star is generally hundreds of thousands to tens of millions times that of a rocky planet.
Although the Honghuang Continent is much larger than the Earth that Wen Rui traveled to, the mass of a mere Southern Continent cannot be compared with that of an entire planet. The difference in magnitude is too great.
Wen Rui's technical level is certainly not as good as Lao Rui's, but it is still very easy for him to lift a mere Southern Continent. The huge continent floating in the air seems to be in danger. If it falls, it will not only be smashed to pieces, but the strong impact force will also cause irreversible major changes in the geological structures of the other three continents.
Just tearing the Southern Continent apart from the mantle layer would cause a massive earthquake. The last stronghold of the Western Religion in Hezhou, Xiniu was shaking like a pirate ship in an amusement park. Countless Buddhist temples, grottoes, giant Buddha statues, pagodas, and stele forests collapsed.
It took the collective efforts of all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, under the command of Tathagata Buddha, who expended a great deal of their vows and magical powers, to stabilize the earth's veins and forcibly calm the earthquake.
The Jade Emperor spoke and ordered Wen Rui to put down Jambu Continent. Wen Rui naturally went along with it and carefully controlled the tractor beam to slowly lower Jambu Continent, which had almost risen to the stratosphere.
The gods no longer needed to look at the broadcast screen. They could just run to the edge of the clouds in heaven and lower their heads to see the earth right below.
The lyrics of the song, "The mountains have no edges, the sky and the earth are united," were almost realized at this moment.
Fortunately, the earth that was about to hit the clouds of the base of Heaven finally moved away slowly. There was no need to worry about the peaks of individual high mountains in the mortal world piercing through the clouds of Heaven, popping up one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
All the gods concentrated and held their breath, quietly staring at the scene of the earth slowly falling. They breathed in carefully, for fear of interfering with Wen Rui's display of his great magical power.
If he made any mistake and accidentally dropped the Southern Continent, it would be a disaster.
Wen Rui was very relaxed. He was not the one operating it anyway. The control of the traction beam had long been entrusted to Jarvis. It would be more time-saving and labor-saving to let artificial intelligence do this kind of precise and boring mechanical operation.
It was Wen Rui himself who raised the Southern Continent, but he did a rough job, which caused a magnitude 20 earthquake. This did demonstrate the supreme power of the Creation God, scaring all the gods, but it also caused considerable damage to the geological plates of the Southern Continent.
If he had to manually put it back, Wen Rui had no confidence in restoring it to its original state. If it accidentally broke into pieces, the Jade Emperor would definitely force him to clean up the mess and put it back together.
The process of lifting was extremely rough, but the process of lowering demonstrated the ultimate ingenuity of Wen Rui's magical power. The entire huge continent was lowered steadily, with an even speed and excellent balance, without even the slightest vibration.
If there were still humans living in Jambu Continent at that time, they might not even feel the earth sinking.
At the moment of landing, the force was extremely exquisite. The vibration caused was completely opposite to that when it rose. It just shook slightly, and after some adjustments, the underground stress was relieved, and it landed steadily and took root. Not to mention a major earthquake, even aftershocks did not occur.
After stabilizing the Southern Continent Plate, Wen Rui came to the top of the almost emptied sea of magma and shot out the traction beam again. The thin layer of lava that had not yet solidified on the surface was all pulled up into the air and gathered into a huge magma ball in mid-air.
After the magma was sucked away, the rock layer was exposed and a huge scar appeared on the earth.
He scratched his head. This scarred area, centered on Mount Tai, covered an area of tens of thousands of miles, almost covering the main living area of human beings in the southern continent in the past, which is often called the "heartland of the Central Plains."
Now the magma has been dealt with, but such a large area of Gobi desert with no surface soil has been left. If it is not properly cleaned up, even if all living things can still reproduce, it will be a barren land. After thinking about environmental governance countermeasures, Wen Rui decided to deal with the magma ball suspended in the air first. Countless Nether Shadows flew out of the portal in his chest and flew into the red-hot magma, quickly cooling the lava and solidifying it into a huge obsidian mass.
During the cooling process, the tractor beams continuously stretched and stirred, causing the solidified stone mass to split apart and grind itself in the distorted gravitational field formed by countless tractor beams, and it was soon submerged into fine sand and powder.
The huge obsidian turned into sand and was sprinkled by Wen Rui on the exposed rock layer, barely covering the scars on the earth.
But this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. The area within a radius of thousands of miles has changed from a rocky desert to a rocky sand desert. If the wind blows again, it will become the birthplace of sandstorms.
It's really fun to watch a fight between gods, but it's too troublesome to deal with a disaster scene.
Otherwise, even the great sage Laozi, with his magical powers, would not be bothered to deal with the geological disaster caused by the fall of the Bagua furnace.
You have to clean up the mess you made by pretending to be cool, even if you have to cry. But what comes next is a big project, and it won't be accomplished overnight.
The biggest problem now is that this barren area has lost a lot of soil and rocks. The original surface materials have turned into magma and flowed into the mantle magma layer. We must find a way to replenish these missing surface materials, otherwise a large Central Plains basin with a radius of thousands of miles will be formed.
Where can we get so much soil to fill the surface?
The other major continents?
Now Wen Rui is no doubt the Supreme Lord of Heaven, a senior leader of the Heavenly Court. He must broaden his vision and outlook, and stop doing things that would only save himself and his fellow Taoists from dying.
Although the Heavenly Court actually only controls the Southern Continent, it is still nominally the orthodox ruling pantheon of the prehistoric world. Even if other pantheons believed in by the human race in the Northern Continent, the Eastern Continent, and the Western Continent do not provide incense and vows to the gods in the Heavenly Court, they cannot fail to regard them as human beings.
You can ignore their life or death, but you can't just kill them.
Dig the soil from deep underground and bring it to the surface?
This is another misunderstanding. The deep layers below the surface are either rock layers or mostly clay and gravel, and the heavy metal content is extremely high, so it cannot be confused with the surface soil.
Moreover, mining too much deep soil will also destroy the underground water veins in the strata, which will do more harm than good.
In addition to scientific solutions, in this magical world, there are also metaphysical solutions, such as transporting soil from the earth, or getting some fertile soil that can automatically multiply infinitely.
However, the soil in the land is too yin-filled, not only can crops not grow, it also breeds ghosts, and people buried in it will turn into zombies.
When Wen Rui thought of Xirang, an idea suddenly came to his mind. This treasure was both far away and close at hand, and it didn't seem difficult to get it.
