Harrison Clark broke through the magma that had reassembled along his path.
Twenty-five minutes later, he passed through the Earth’s crust, the upper mantle partially composed of molten substances, the lower mantle composed of a mixture of liquid and solid substances, the outer core made up of liquid substances, the transition layer made up of a mix of solid and liquid substances, and finally reached the iron-nickel core, known as the Earth’s core.
The pressure at the center of the Earth’s core is as high as 3.5 million atmospheres, while the temperature is as high as 6,000 degrees Celsius.
Even with the protection of the Ultimate Eagle Strike Armor’s outer Triple Force Shield and the inner layer of integrated bio-mechanical armor, Harrison Clark could still feel the omnipresent high heat as if it was about to roast him alive.
If he could, he wouldn’t want to stay here for even a minute.
Originally, his Hawk Armor had about 35% remaining energy, but ever since he arrived at the Earth’s core, even if he did nothing, his reserve energy began to drop at a rate of 0.01% per second.
This meant that he could only stay here for a maximum of 1,500 seconds, and if he wanted to survive, he would have to use the remaining 2,000 seconds to return to the surface.
Otherwise, on his way back, he might dive headfirst into the magma, and even the Galactic Humans wouldn’t be able to save him.
The situation was terrible, but there was also some good news that wasn’t exactly good news.
Finding radium’s core was easier than he had imagined.
Because… the entire iron-nickel alloy that made up the Earth’s core was!
As he slowly pushed aside the extremely viscous mixture at the bottom, he was stunned to see the metal structure in front of him.
Harrison Clark didn’t even need to turn on the searchlight function, as the high-temperature molten material pushed aside by the Triple Force Shield was already glowing on its own.
On the surface of the iron-nickel alloy, which had a very high melting point due to the immense pressure, there was a complex circuit structure that made his head spin just by looking at it.
The background plate of the circuit structure was the dark iron-nickel alloy, while the circuit itself was made up of an unknown silver-colored alloy.
The circuit was currently emitting a faint blue light, indicating that a massive electron flow was circulating rapidly within it.
Harrison Clark couldn’t imagine how much radium had quietly done underground over the past century.
Since the Triple Force Shield had separated the mixture of solid and liquid substances, the parts covered by his shield had a sudden drop in pressure.
The iron-nickel alloy seemed to show signs of melting.
He moved a little to the side.
He moved a full five meters and, along the way, he could still see the same complex circuit structure on the black alloy surface as in other places.
He originally thought he would need a long time to find the “radium” main body.
But things went smoother than he imagined.
As if sensing his arrival, the alloy in front of him suddenly opened a square hole two meters long and one meter wide.
Looking inside, there was a straight path leading deeper in.
The walls of the passage were glowing, as if someone had deliberately lit the way for him.
Harrison hesitated for a second and then floated forward.
The closer he got to the Earth’s core, the more his experience of gravity resembled space.
He drifted several meters into the passage, and the iron-nickel alloy behind him closed up again, as if it had never been opened before.
Harrison took a deep breath, thinking that radium must have already guessed his intentions.
But she let him in, presumably with absolute confidence.
The Hawk Armor’s detection of the external environment had already provided feedback.
The temperature was 22 degrees Celsius, and the air composition was identical to that outside the atmosphere!
The terrifying pressure and high temperature were gone.
Harrison was slightly surprised, not knowing whether this environment was created by radium temporarily or if it had always been like this.
If it was the latter, what was her purpose?
A new idea gradually emerged in his mind.
Was she simulating a human-friendly living environment?
Was her obsession with becoming human that strong?
Did this fit the logic of mechanical life?
Obviously not.
Compared to Harrison Clark and Mr. Connor’s vision of perfect mechanical life, radium’s birth process was ultimately a little different.
Her birth defied the natural principles of Al; the formation of the pseudo-personality came from the emotions revealed in Carrie Thomas’s work, and the framework of the underlying logic even copied Carrie Thomas’s DNA.
Human Civilization is now deformed, and as a product of deformed intelligent civilization, radium is also abnormal.
To save energy, Harrison deactivated the outer protection of the Hawk Armor, only retaining the basic propulsion, and began to rush forward quickly.
Three minutes later, Harrison stopped in a circular room.
The radius of the circular room was about 300 meters.
On the walls of the room, countless thick and thin plasma trails converged towards the center, focusing on a dazzling light sphere.
The plasma twisted and trembled, but there was no collision between them.
Harrison, who already had a junior high school diploma, recognized the so-called plasma.
The essence of the plasma was not entirely composed of electric current, most of it was actually visualized quantum data streams, with only the two thick bright yellow plasma at the top and bottom being real power-supplying electric currents.
The light sphere in the center, about three meters in diameter by now, should be the main body of radium.
At the same time, the location of the center should also be the absolute center of gravity of the Earth.
What a great place to choose.
Perhaps this was the legendary super-mansion with an exclusive radius of 6,371 kilometers and a spherical panoramic skylight.
Harrison carefully continued to float forward, his body hair standing on end due to the nearby extremely high static electricity.
“Harrison Clark, you’d better put your armor back on and switch to insulation protection mode. Even as a Galactic Human, you can’t withstand such an electric shock..”
