Originally I thought it was just the one in front of me, but Rhine used the card to swipe the elevators on the entire floor, and none of them worked.
"What should I do now?" Rhine asked in his mind.
"I just tried to establish contact with her, but no matter how I called, there was no response. It seems that she might really have encountered some problems."
"If the elevator doesn't work, we can try the stairs."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Seeing Rhine standing there motionless in a daze, Alisha asked curiously.
"Originally, this facility could have taken us to each floor quickly."
"But unfortunately they are all broken now, so we can only use the stairs," Rhine explained.
"It's okay, just take the stairs."
"I actually hope that this journey can be longer. Because this is time that belongs to the two of us." Alisha always had a gentle smile on her face.
To be honest, facing Alisha's fierce attack, he was a little overwhelmed.
Rhine realized a problem. He felt like he was always the passive one in emotional relationships.
Whether it was Ichihara Yuuko teaching him how to conquer her, or Natasha pushing him back, or Alisha launching an offensive against him, these three were the people with whom he had confirmed a relationship in the future.
If Shahua wasn't so arrogant, maybe they would have already confirmed their relationship. After all, Laiyin was the kind of man who would easily win over a man. As long as he had a crush on the other person, he would not reject the other person.
The reason why he said he was going to surrender to Alisha's offensive was because he had the idea of falling in love with her.
Fortunately, Laplace was there, otherwise it would take him an unknown amount of time to find the staircase hidden in the corners of such a huge floor.
"How long will this take?"
Rhine leaned his head slightly out of the railing and looked down through the gap, but what he saw was an endless staircase.
The academic city located in the underground space from the surface is 500 meters deep. What about the second, third or even fourth floor?
"Because the second level is where researchers work, they will conduct a lot of underground experiments. In order to prevent the experiments from affecting the use of the first level, the second level was built 5000 meters underground."
"By the way, the family members of researchers, that is, ordinary people, cannot go to the space outside the academic city. Only scientific researchers or corporate executives can enter the second underground floor."
"Then Alixia won't be stopped when entering the second floor, right?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on whether there are guards at the entrance to the second floor."
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. As a member of the royal family of the high elves, isn't it normal for me to have a personal secretary with me?"
4500 meters, based on the normal person's average falling speed of 7350 meters per hour, only half an hour is enough.
But in order to save time, Rhine picked up Alisha again and flew down through the gap between the corridors.
After a day of being alone together, he felt that the temperature of his relationship with Alisha had risen sharply.
"Oh, I remember you said that the elves in your divine realm all have their own names or code names. Like the goddess of the sky Edes of the Zemuria continent, the singer Lilith of the Landia North Test Field, and your all-knowing demon Laplace of the Penicia continent. What are the names of the elves in this secret realm?"
In order to prevent Alisha's soft seat from becoming hard, Rhine tried to divert his attention.
"Why is it called si?"
"Look, don't Edes, Lilith, and Laplace all have an si? The only one missing is Nicholas." Rhine joked.
"...There is indeed a divine spirit named Nicholas."
"??? Really?"
"But it's not from this secret place."
"Could it be that the high elves gave each elf a name of Silk in honor of their queen Alice?" Rhine complained. If it was a coincidence, then it was too much of a coincidence.
"Now that you mention it... it's possible, because besides the four of us, there are also Landis, Tires, Hamus, Beatrice, Aiwass, Louis, Lacus, Lacas, Ikaros..."
"Stop, stop, stop. Are you still naming the dishes? What is the name of the spirits in this secret realm?"
"Dantrian."
"Oh, why are you suddenly not wearing silk?"
"No, Danterian?" Rhine suddenly exclaimed.
"Yes, Master, where have you heard this name before?" Laplace was very curious about Rhine's reaction.
"Yes, I have, but I don't know how to tell you."
After reaching the bottom of the corridor, Rhine put Alisha down. He scratched his head first, then touched his nose, and a burst of fragrance came to his nose.
"It's delicious."
"Your Majesty!!!" Alisha suddenly became shy again because Rhine's hand was holding that part of her body.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm not a pervert." Rhine apologized quickly.
"But it does smell good. Does Alisha usually use perfume?"
"No." Alisha replied with a blushing face.
"So this is your body odor?" Rhine came close to Alisha and took a deep breath. It was indeed very fragrant.
"Your Majesty, please don't tease me anymore."
“Okay, okay, let’s go out.” If he hadn’t been busy, he might have continued to tease Alisha.
Rhine raised his arm, and Alisha took it consciously.
After swiping the ID card, the door leading to the second underground space opened.
If the style of the first layer is futuristic urban style, then the style of the second layer is alien spaceship style. Although both are science fiction styles, they are completely different styles.
When you come to the huge transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, what comes into view are huge cubic buildings neatly arranged in rows, columns and layers.
These neatly arranged cubic buildings have not just one floor, but eight.
The layers are not close together, but are suspended above the cube-shaped building below.
There are 25 cube buildings on the ground floor. After a simple calculation, Rhine found that there are 200 huge cubes in the entire second floor. Each cube building is hundreds of times larger than the "Water Cube" that Rhine has seen.
The most sci-fi thing is that, except for the bottom-level cube building which is built directly on the ground, the other cube buildings are suspended in the air. Can you imagine a building that is hundreds of times larger than the Water Cube floating in the sky?
"how did you do that?"
"Combined application of magnetic levitation technology and magnetic confinement."
"Each cube here is actually a research base of a scientific research enterprise."
"Each cube has 50 floors inside, and each floor has an area of 16 square kilometers, so the total area of a cube is 800 square kilometers, which is enough to accommodate millions of people to participate in research."
"There are a total of 200 research bases like this on the second floor. At its peak, it attracted hundreds of millions of scholars from all over the world. It was they who supported the technological explosion of the High Elves' Age." Laplace proudly introduced the glory of the High Elves' Age to Rhine.
"Hundreds of millions of scholars... it's really terrifying."
"But that's not right. The cities above can only accommodate about tens of millions of people at most. How can they possibly support the daily lives of hundreds of millions of people?" Rhine questioned.
"Well, the academic city is actually divided into upper and lower levels. The upper academic city is more of a cover-up, and even ordinary people can visit it as tourists. In fact, the second level is the real academic city."
"One hundred million scientific researchers..." Rhine was shocked by the studious spirit of the High Elves.
In that era, being a warrior was not something to be proud of, because in an environment of world peace, powerful military force no longer had any effect and would instead become the source of unrest.
The reason why the high elves began to transform their civilization in the later period was because they noticed the continuous loss of energy in the world. Perhaps one day in the future, swords and magic will completely disappear from this world, supernatural powers will no longer exist, and the world will enter an era of lawlessness.
In order to welcome the possibility of the Age of Lawlessness, the high elves fully supported social reforms and began an era of "valuing culture over military" like the Song Dynasty. No one wanted to be a powerful warrior anymore, but wanted to be a respected scientist.
Of course, this is only a change for the people at the bottom of society. For those at the top of society, they still have to practice.
The transformation of the continent of Zemuria was very successful, from a world of swords and magic to a world dominated by scientific development. Not only can ordinary people use the guide device to release magic, but there are also various Gundams and aerospace motherships flying all over the sky.
“I wonder if the technology inside is still there.” Rhine said eagerly.
If he could master these technologies, he wouldn't ask to restore the world to the level of advancement of the high elves, but at least to the level of the 21st century, right?
Otherwise, he would have to import some high-tech products, such as space battleships, Gundams and other rare gadgets from other worlds every time, and he would have to pay a lot of tariffs.
"Before all technologies are released to the public, they must be backed up in the Void Library. Therefore, if you master the Void Library, you will master all the technologies of the High Elves Era."
"Okay! Let's continue to move to the next level of space!" Rhine became more and more excited.
He still remembered that when he was talking with Hongyu, she told him that her knowledge and skills were learned from the Great Library of the Void.
Such as hybridization technology, breeding technology, rotation technology, grafting technology... and so on.
At that time, he wondered if the farming techniques that Hongyu had learned were all learned from Earth, but now thinking about it, it was simply impossible.
That is definitely "alien" technology. Maize stalks as tall as trees, giant corns as tall as a person, wheat grains as big as sandbags, potatoes weighing several tons, and rice fields with a yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu are all considered poor harvests.
It was precisely because he mastered these techniques that the Ruby Demon King was able to single-handedly change the living environment of the demons, so that not only would all demons no longer have to suffer from hunger, but they even had enough surplus food to launch a counterattack against humans.
These "alien" technologies are most likely derived from the era of the high elves. Because in order to achieve a harmonious society, the most basic condition is that everyone will not go hungry, everyone can have food to eat, and everyone can have enough food, and then only meet everyone's material needs.
There is no doubt that these high elves did it.
They are the only civilization in all the eras of history that has achieved the unity of the world. All races and all peoples spontaneously support the rule of the high elves.
Therefore, during the Great Collapse (Abyss Invasion) of the High Elves, countless races fought without complaint, devoted themselves to the cause, and died. They were not fighting for the High Elves, but for the era in which they lived.
"Let us, the brave old Qin people, face the national crisis together."
This is a height that the human era will never reach. Even if humans show a little bit of decline, a new race will immediately jump out to challenge the authority of humans and try to overthrow the human era. This is why humans have always suppressed alien races.
Whether it was the Demi-Human Empire, the Silver Moon Elf Dynasty, or the Dwarf Kingdom, these alien forces had never dared to challenge the dominance of humans.
Even in a demi-human empire with eight half-step gods (eight pillar generals), its ruler, the "Emperor", is also a human and can only be a human forever, otherwise there would be no need for this country to exist.
Therefore, the "Emperor" whose life is coming to an end urgently needs a human being, someone who can treat demi-humans as human beings, to take his place.
Rhine didn't have time to visit the cube building outside, nor did he have time to explore the second-level space. He just wanted to visit the Great Library of the Void.
It would be even better if we could get some farming techniques from the high elves, and the famine in the Kingdom of Elfriden would be solved. After all, the famine situation in the demon tribe is much more serious than that in the Kingdom of Elfriden.

Chapter 301 Journey to the Center of the Earth
The underground city on the first level is located 500 meters underground, and the scientific research base on the second level is located 5,000 meters underground.
So would the control center of the third layer be located 50,000 meters deep underground?
The answer is no.
In fact, there is no necessary connection between the depth differences in each space.
Because the control center of the third layer is 10 meters deep underground, and the depth of the fourth layer of the Void Library is an astonishing 7 kilometers, which is 8000 million meters deep underground.
You read that right, it’s not 7 kilometers, but 8 kilometers.
At first, Rhine thought he had heard it wrong, and he repeatedly confirmed whether Laplace had made a mistake in the unit and remembered meters as kilometers.
But after Laplace's explanation, he reluctantly accepted this reality.
As we all know, one of the greatest inventions of the Age of High Elves is the space-based World Wide Web built on the Arcane Throne. People can achieve real-time communication on a global scale through the Arcane Throne (satellite) hanging high in the sky. The advent of this invention has connected the entire world into a whole.
But in fact, in addition to the space-based network, the high elves have another invention that few people know about, and that is the underground network.
However, the underground vein network only serves the government, the military, and some large enterprises with special needs, and is not open to the general public. Therefore, not many people know about the underground vein network.
Note that the earth veins here do not refer to the good or bad terrain in Feng Shui, but a kind of radiating veins from the magma layer in the core of the earth to the surface of the planet (rocks and soil). The earth veins are intertwined underground, connecting the entire world, and finally forming a huge earth vein network.
As we all know, based on the changes in the propagation speed of seismic waves at different depths underground, the interior of a planet is generally divided into three concentric layers: the core, mantle, and crust.
The central layer is the core; the middle is the mantle; the outer layer is the crust. The crust and mantle are separated by the Moho discontinuity, and the mantle and core are separated by the Gutenberg discontinuity. Earthquakes generally occur in the crust. The interior of the crust is constantly changing, which generates forces that cause the crustal rock layers to deform, break, and shift, thus causing earthquakes.
Although the Penicsian world is not the Earth, the planetary structure is the same and it is also a rocky planet.
In other words, if the movement of the earth's core can be artificially changed, interfered with, or created, then the message can be spread throughout the world in a short period of time in the form of seismic waves.
Some people may be curious, aren't we afraid of causing earthquakes if we trigger core movement in the core? In fact, this is unnecessary. Because even if the high elves do not interfere with the core movement, the core itself is moving all the time, and as long as it is in motion, earthquakes will definitely occur.
In other words, for the entire planet, earthquakes occur all the time. Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of times a day is normal. The big problem would be when the earthquakes stop.
Most of these earthquakes are very small, and "human" perception is simply incapable of detecting earthquakes of this level, and only sophisticated instruments can detect and receive them. Therefore, the high elves used this principle to build a network of earth veins that radiate throughout the world.
Although both the space-based network and the ground-based network can connect the entire world into a whole, in terms of transmission speed and efficiency, the space-based network far outperforms the ground-based network.
But the ground network is not without advantages, that is, it is safe, stable, and permanent. The space-based network relies on the arcane throne (kingdom of God) of the gods, while the ground network relies on the earth's core.
In this world, powerful gods will die, and the kingdom of God will fall. If a large number of gods fall one day, the space-based network built on the kingdom of God will collapse on the spot. However, the ground vein network does not have this shortcoming and will not be affected by external factors, because the core of the earth will not stop moving and the ground veins will never disappear.
The equatorial circumference of the Penician world is 492912 kilometers. Using the circumference formula of a circle 2πr, we can quickly calculate that the radius of the planet is 78449 kilometers.
