"Wha, what?"

"It probably means that we will seal our hope into...Pandora."

"Pandora?"

The man was stunned for a few seconds and asked hesitantly: "Is this an adjective, or does it really mean Pandora? Is it the Pandora I understand?"

The person on the other side was silent, and after a while he said solemnly: "It's called Pandora. Based on the information we have about ancient civilizations, it may really be the mythical Pandora's box of hope."

"..."

The channel fell into silence. The man and the female researcher looked at each other, swallowed hard, and turned to look at the isolation room, breathing a little quickly.

"Teacher, we..."

The man interrupted her, pointed to the communicator, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you experts think? What do you think hope refers to?"

"The conclusion of our research is..."

After a short discussion, a younger voice came from over there: "The destruction of ancient civilizations may be related to a war. The planet after the war is no longer suitable for survival.

The hope sealed in Pandora's box may be what will pass on civilization, and after that, the remaining survivors will make a desperate move and leave the planet."

After listening, the man said: "What I mean is the danger. If we don't open it, it means that our many years of research will be in vain. If we open it, we will bear great risks. I need your advice."

"Perhaps, when we decipher the next cipher text..."

"We don't have time."

The man interrupted him and rubbed his head with a headache: "Do you watch the news? Extraordinary events happen frequently, and many things that were once hidden in the dark are exposed. I have a hunch... a new era is coming.

What the above means is that if there is still no results, give up research in this area and turn to research on other civilization relics. After all, we have spent too long on this thing. If we continue to work in vain, we will not be able to catch up with the new era."

Small and medium-sized countries don't matter.

They have no industrial base, and they import a large amount of resources, population, resources, military, territory every year... All aspects are enough to prove that they can only become vassals of powerful countries.

Therefore, as long as they act as loyal little brothers, they can enjoy the rewards and protection from their elder brother and master, without having to worry about too many problems.

But powerful countries are different.

There are only four powerful countries in this world, and they coexist harmoniously on the surface, but secretly everyone wants to be first.

Their sense of smell is more acute, and they certainly know that we are at the turning point of the times. Who can be earlier? Whoever seizes the opportunity better has the hope of becoming... the overlord of the world? The leader of human civilization.

The temptation is too great.

No one can give up.

so……

Even if the man is the person in charge of the laboratory, he must accept the arrangement above.

This time the communicator was silent for longer.

A full fifteen minutes passed.

A hoarse voice sounded: "Our assessment results have a 30% probability of being within the controllable range, a 50% probability of being uncontrollable? A 20% probability of being uncertain."

The man's expression was ugly: "In other words? The uncertainty reaches 70%?"

The person on the other side obviously reached a consensus? He replied: "Based on the analysis of the cipher text and murals, it is like this."

The man obviously refused to give up and asked tentatively: "Perhaps we can use instruments, chemistry...more rigorous methods to study it again? Maybe we will gain something?"

The speaker this time? It was a female researcher: "We have tried many times? The result is no result? We can't detect anything in it at all? The technological gap between us and ancient civilizations... is too big."

At the end of the sentence, her expression was extremely bitter.

No results? Nothing could make her more decadent than this.

bet?

Still not betting?

The man was faced with a difficult decision.

It's snowing again in Los Santos.

Unlike the previous times, it snowed heavily this time.

Everything you see is covered in silver, as if the world has been purified. You can't even see what the cars on the roadside look like anymore.

Yan Yu even saw that a house was crushed not far away, but he didn't know if there were any casualties.

Most of the houses in Beilman, except for the high-rise buildings in the city, are built with wood as the main structure.

Normally, it doesn't matter, but under the cover of what can be called a snow disaster, it is obviously a little bit powerless. The morning news has mentioned the snow disaster several times.

The icy roads caused many car accidents, and many people were injured due to the snow cover. Even many homeless people living on the streets froze to death last night.

There is no doubt that this is a disaster.

But it has nothing to do with Yan Yu.

Disasters belong to ordinary people. Rich people can sit by the fireplace, drink red wine leisurely, and enjoy the snow scenery...

"Well, it's snowing a lot."

Yan Yu stepped in and his entire calf was submerged. It was unbelievable that it could rain so much in one night. He suspected that someone had used some black technology.

After Xingtu enters the interstellar version, in order to help transform the environment of the colonial planet, the relevant technology is somewhat brighter, which is also a must-have for pioneering players when they go out.

But not yet.

He waded through the snow to the courtyard and began to warm up as usual. Just yesterday afternoon, he finally reached level 8 of the "Demon Tiger Suppressing Dragon Skill" skill.

Yan Yu decided to work harder and strive to reach the full level. Hope was right in front of him. He was so motivated that he even forgot about visiting the vampire.

Suddenly, he took a step and kicked up a field of white. His thick arms were flung out in awe, and the muscles condensed and the bones intertwined, making a deep, muffled sound like a tiger, which lasted continuously.

Practice not delaying your thinking.

While Yan Yu was brushing up his skills, he was also constantly communicating with Hera.

Mainly the details of the auction.

Yan Yu's temperament dictates that he will not be too early to gain anything. No matter what he does, he is paving the way for some purpose, and this auction is no exception.

Do you really think he is so kind and selflessly dedicates information about ancient civilizations?

Thinking too much.

Some time ago, when Yan Yu was wandering around the game forum, he accidentally discovered an 'imagination post'.

The theme is very simple - "If you went back in time, when Xingtu was just in public beta, what would you do?"

The following players all express their opinions, it’s just about conquering the XX goddess and getting good things first.

However, apart from these purely YY replies, there are also a few hard-core replies.

Some players clearly listed the equipment and props that can be obtained in the early stage of the game, and gave a more reasonable route - first improve their strength, then build a lair, and finally go out to cause trouble.

Lair.

This word attracted Yan Yu's attention.

He suddenly discovered that he had no fixed place to live and did not yet have an absolutely safe nest.

It doesn't matter now, but when he becomes more prominent and famous in the future, it will be difficult to guarantee that he will not be plotted to death.

After thinking about it, Yan Yu decided to play a big one.

He wants to get a spaceship.

At the current stage, the technological level of ancient civilizations is completely overwhelming when faced with human technology.

Yan Yu knew that there was a place where a small spaceship that had survived from the ancient civilization and was almost perfectly preserved was left behind. He wanted to repair it, but he also needed some parts and materials.

And each force has more or less one or two collections in hand.

So he simply used the auction to collect all the parts, and then repaired the broken spaceship, so that he would have a safe house.

Even though it is a small spaceship, its defense is very strong.

As long as the energy reserve is sufficient, it can easily withstand several nuclear explosions. It also has functions such as environmental simulation and visual invisibility. It is an extremely safe and mobile fortress at any time.

Hera suddenly asked: "Yan, the plan is just a plan, what if those people refuse to sell or exchange?"

"It's simple."

Yan Yu punched out, making a dent in the air visible to the naked eye, and exploded with a muffled bang. He said calmly: "If people don't listen, then use force. If you don't want to sell it for money, then rob it."

Guilt?

Sorry, it doesn't exist.

Yan Yu smiled and changed the subject, asking: "By the way, why do you make my image look so sloppy?"

"It's not my fault."
