Chapter 746: A Visitor Across Time

With only a few short characters, it is absolutely impossible for Hashi-chan and General Volcano Ball to understand their meaning. Therefore, they hope that the robot detector can obtain more and more valuable information in the next action.

The robot detector only stayed for a moment before the wall with text symbols engraved, and continued to move downwards agilely towards one of the passages at the alleyway forks.

The passage is always extremely dark, without a trace of light, but it can be noticed very clearly through night vision equipment. As the lane continues to deepen, its four walls become smoother and smoother.

Although the temperature in the tunnel is basically maintained at around -160 degrees Celsius, the detector has never found a large-scale gas in the tunnel, nor has it been found that crystals frozen by any gas or liquid substances are found. Except for the occasional sporadic particles floating in the space, the entire asteroid seems to have been drained.

Since the interior of the asteroid is also an entity above five dimensions, no detection means can understand its fine internal structure. This really disappointed Yuan Shichen and the others. The robot detector could only continue to lead down the lane, and the end seemed to be deep underground.

As the exploration continued to deepen, the smooth passage suddenly became very steep.

[It actually entered so deep, why didn't they set up lifting equipment inside this asteroid?] General Volcano Ball asked with a little concern.

"Is the lifting equipment..." Yuan Shichen slapped his eyebrows and tried to guess the reason. "I think no mechanical equipment can withstand the erosion of time. Perhaps the interior of this asteroid was designed according to the geological age and based on the basic unit of billions of years!"

[Do you think this asteroid is what its owner prepares for visitors to the distant future?] General Volcano Ball made a poetic analogy.

Yuan Shichen nodded and said, "From the current situation, I think this is very likely."

[So, is the former owner still here still there, or where did they go? Judging from the current situation... Maybe they are no longer here. I am looking forward to what they will leave for us?]

The simulated image sent back by the volcanic ball general through the detector stared at the looming end deep in the lane, asking and answering questions and answering themselves with anticipation.

In a low gravity environment, the robot detector jumped and glided, and finally arrived at the bottom of the lane.

“What a big space!”

Yuan Shichen suddenly discovered that the end of the alley was first expanded rapidly, and then naturally connected to a huge and empty space. When the robot detector floated to the center of the large space, he felt that he immediately became clear.

【Look, look at the other side!】

Following the direction indicated by General Volcano Ball, Yuan Shichen saw another entrance and exit of the tunnel that was basically the same as the road he came to the time.

"If I'm not mistaken, the alleys on both sides of the seal-carved character wall will eventually lead to this large space."

Yuan Shichen looked up at the space. The structure of the space was very simple, roughly appearing as an oval, and it also looked like a huge animal egg. The two sides of the eggs were connected to a narrow, long and steep tunnel, and they converged to the surface of the asteroid.

By observing the structure and location of the egg-shaped space, Yuan Shichen inferred that the coordinates they are now in are exactly the central area of ​​the strange asteroid.

【I didn't expect the structure here to be so simple...】

No legacy of intelligent civilization was discovered, no disability of any instruments and equipment was discovered, and General Volcano Ball was obviously disappointed with the empty asteroid interior. But Yuan Shichen still said nothing. He narrowed his eyes slightly and observed every corner of the space images inside the asteroid, including the details of every inch of the surface.

The top of the space is very high, and there seems to be a row of small round holes with unknown functions embedded in the central axis, which looks very confused in the darkness.

"It's not that simple! Inside the asteroid, maybe we are just an ant, an ant crawling on the paper, and even vision and senses are limited to this piece of paper." Yuan Shichen was immersed in the image world observed by the detection robot. He said slowly, "Don't forget that this asteroid is an entity above five dimensions. It must be very complicated, but he is just willing to show the simplest side to us..."

[Showing the simplest side to us?] General Volcano Ball asked in confusion, [Aren't we still saying just now that this asteroid was prepared by its owner for visitors in the distant future? So, now the visitors have arrived, but we haven't seen anything yet?]

"What do you think this place looks like?" Yuan Shichen did not answer the question of General Volcano Ball, but asked him for no reason.

[Like what...] General Volcano Ball hesitated for a moment, and used the most direct sensory experience to describe, [A ruin, or a memorial, or a mausoleum...]

Yuan Shichen did not answer, and he also thought that this place was indeed like a combination of a tomb and a memorial.

But he still told himself that he could not make a conclusion like this, because even different cosmic civilizations have such huge cultural differences, not to mention that the other party is a smart civilization from another world and another universe.

[If this is a tomb, why didn’t we see the tombstones and tombs?] General Volcano Ball continued to guess, [If this is a memorial hall, it is too simple, there is nothing substantial, so who will come to visit, who will come to visit?]

The robot detector quickly circled the egg-shaped space. In the simulated image, Yuan Shichen kept staring at the dim and empty space. Everything he saw now was indeed filled with images of death and decay.

That subtle feeling surged in his mind again, and he felt that this simple, pure, monotonous and empty egg-shaped space seemed to have been waiting and waiting for their visit today.

"I decided to go there myself!"

After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shichen suddenly said to General Volcano Ball.

[No, this is really too risky!] General Volcano Ball immediately rejected, [I also want to uncover the mystery hidden here, but doing so is too dangerous. The subtlety needs to be discussed for a long time. Anyway, we are now synchronized with the small space, and we have time...]

"I have a strong feeling that they are waiting for visitors who have crossed time!" Yuan Shichen said firmly.

【But……】

"If they exist here, then what they are waiting for should be real visitors!"

【Real Visitors…】

What else did the volcano ball want to say, but Yuan Shichen's words deeply moved him.

[Okay, let's go together.] The volcanic ball finally stopped opposing it.

Yuan Shichen waved his hand firmly at General Volcano Ball and said, "No, you must stay on the spaceship, we can't all leave. If an accident occurs, you can still use the power of the spaceship to try to rescue me."

General Volcano Ball knew that what Yuan Shichen said was right, so he said again: [Otherwise, let me go to the inside of the asteroid.]

"Believe me, you should understand my abilities. Besides, I know that now, the robot detector has not found any special risks." Yuan Shichen comforted.

[Okay!] General Volcano Ball understood Yuan Shichen's determination, [Be sure to pay attention to safety and remember to act cautiously.]

...

After a while of careful preparation, Yuan Shichen turned to a small shuttle and flew towards the asteroid.

When the shuttle arrived next to the asteroid, the regular hexagonal area originally located on the back and the entrance to the underground lane appeared in front of Yuan Shichen.
