Chapter 26 Luo An, Assistant Professor and Intelligence Lieutenant Part 3
"Our fleet is also very strong, right?" Luo An asked as he looked at the lieutenant.
Since the discovery of the remains under the Antarctic ice field, various rumors have almost flooded social media. Everyone is saying that aliens are coming and will arrive tomorrow. While refuting the rumors, the official expanded the fleet and tightened the allocation of supplies, and scared the whole society to death with his actions.
At this time, the best job for young people is the officers of the space fleet. They are stationed in orbits and bases near planets, wearing beautiful uniforms, and can be used to distribute natural sugars, coffee and fruits that are rare, and are nowhere higher than synthetic sugar and artificial butter with unknown ingredients.
"Tsk tsk, you can't say they're great just because they eat well," the assistant professor shook his head. "As long as more fusion reactors and immigration space stations are built, life will get better soon!"
"I don't think there is anything to say about this question," the lieutenant snorted, leaving the lift with his two companions, and walked until the intersection of no one before continuing, "For any rational person, the answer to this question is self-evident."
The people of the fleet were indeed confident, and I didn't dare to say so much! Luo An praised in his heart. Before he could praise him, the assistant professor had already criticized him with an unsatisfied expression:
"I didn't expect that you, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also a loser!"
"…," Luo Anke didn't expect this, but he quickly realized, "No, our fleet has been stationed in Jupiter's orbit. Each battleship can cruise at a quarter of the speed of light, with heavy armor and electromagnetic shields in science fiction novels, and electromagnetic cannons can fly a mountain. Such a warship can build one every week."
The lieutenant didn't care about this accusation. After confirming that there were no outsiders around him, he said: "This world is a cage. We are prisoners bound by gravity."
Then he raised his hand and pointed up to the heavy darkness that was swallowed by the abyss: "And they have already traveled through the universe.
"We live in a distant spiral arm of the Milky Way, like a nation from the Middle Ages. Every day, we waved our own powerful wooden sticks, just invented the wheel, and paddled a canoe to the island not far from the coast, and happily picked up the shells there.
"Suddenly one day, a white sail as tall as a mountain appeared far away on the sea, as thick as a cloud. The clouds arrived at the shore, and the living creatures descended from above had four hooves, holding objects that had never been seen before, as tall as trees. They waved their hands and could spray lightning and smoke, and our bravest warriors fell down without even getting close. This scene was as terrifying as myths, as if the punishment of heaven and the end of the world were coming."
The lieutenant took them through the underground road and showed them the ancient ruins buried in the ice field for countless times.
Located a deep pit more than ten kilometers underground, it is a magnificent maze built by dark boulders. The structure of the dark green boulder has no trace of splicing, and is so huge that it is incredible. The tall spire covered with carved patterns has irregular geometric shapes, and rolls in the surging darkness above the head.
The amazing size is just the simplest impression. The angle of the structure here is unpredictable and madly crazy. At first glance, it is curved, but it becomes sharp angles again. Every corner seems to be lurking with hideous malicious intentions, hiding indescribable unknowns. Their outlines are so weird and exaggerated, so incredible that the humans present will be impressed by the scene they see from a new perspective.
The grandeur here makes people depressed, and the extremely small height makes people feel even more chilling. When you see such a ruin, when you think of it quietly hidden underground and witness the evolution of humans from monkeys to slash-and-burn Homo sapiens, your reason will evaporate uncontrollably in fear and become mentally disorganized.
"Please see, this is the trace that the civilization has left on us across the domain," said the lieutenant. "There are many things that we cannot perceive here, and corrode our minds every moment. This danger is never encountered before. The more you study these ancient relics, the more unbearable the knowledge you come into contact with. Now, they may have left or may sleep under the frozen soil. We are touching their knowledge, and this process will cause storms, and the fear and screams that come from it even exceed the impact of the residents of the Middle Ages when they see the landing of colonists, riding war horses, and holding muskets.
"Their existence is so different from the world we know that many unknowns are not even conceived in nightmares. It is so much that explanations are needed in the field of occultism.
"Can our past experience and knowledge come to fruition when fighting such enemies?"
Everyone fell into silence together. After a while, Luo An asked:
"Will there really be an invasion?"
"I don't know," the lieutenant shook his head, "but the ancient ruins hidden in history reappeared in the light of day, and the mysterious totem spread among the crowd. Will the creatures that we have discovered and studied have reported the situation here to their creator through some way we do not know?"
"Don't be so scary," the assistant professor waved his hand. "Officially, the deep space probe and telescope did not find any other civilization approaching."
"This is another mistake we take for granted - thinking about the rules of cosmic civilization in our experience. Amplify our technology and social structure to understand them. However, why do they need to spend hundreds of years on starships in the form of entities?
"Please note that this civilization is a cosmic civilization, but there are stone sculptures that only exist in the ruins that are only available in ancient human tribes. Isn't this a contradiction? There must be some key information that we have not yet mastered."
After saying this, the lieutenant did not listen to his companions' opinions, and continued to move forward with a dejected look. They came to the center of the scientific research base. This was a series of convergence points, as complicated as mazes and spider webs.
Luo An looked around in surprise, thinking that he would be lost here, but he would probably not be able to find the exit.
Officials have invested massive resources to study the technologies of foreign civilizations and how to prevent the measures they may take that are unfavorable to the world. As of now, most of the measures seem a bit ridiculous. For example, arranging mobile fusion reaction devices at the edge of the solar system as landmines to build large-scale cosmic fleets. These projects are expensive and time-consuming, but they are a good placebo for fear and curious publics.
However, such a large-scale project must be used for discovery in the remains, and the biomass processors are required to provide computing power assistance, which may further accelerate the arrival of the invasion... When I think of this, Luo An understood why the lieutenant was in a heavy mood.
At this moment, the light from the base suddenly flashed. The solid ground also shook violently. It was spread over the ground more than ten kilometers deep. Such an accident really made people feel depressed.
The earthquake became more and more severe, as if the remains were to be buried at any time. Soon, the lights went out for a second.
"Assault, is it another attack?" the assistant professor shouted.
"Stop in place, don't run around!" the lieutenant shouted immediately.
Chapter completed!
