The group of people continued walking inside for half an hour, everyone looking around cautiously and moving carefully and softly.
It is dark and quiet here, and there seems to be nothing there. There are only some strange fungi and geothermal energy plants growing tenaciously, but the density is much smaller than the caves in Area B11.
If the last bit of geothermal heat disappears after hundreds or thousands of years, they will wither and die.
Even... there are very few traces of animals. Occasionally, only a few strange-looking animals pop out. They should be the "monsters" that lizards call them.
They appear to be highly aggressive, but they are malnourished, strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and do not pose the slightest threat to humans.
"We are currently about 120 meters deep from the surface, and the ambient temperature is 4 degrees Celsius. The nuclear radiation here has exceeded the dose that ordinary people can bear. If you stay in this place for a period of time, it is easy to get radiation sickness."
A scientist checked the detection equipment and said seriously: "I think maybe the monsters mentioned by the indigenous lizards are mutant species produced after being exposed to nuclear radiation."
"The curse they are talking about is probably nuclear radiation. That's why diseases or infertility occur..."
Yu Yifeng couldn't help but nodded.
Aboriginal people usually classify things they don't understand as gods and ghosts, but humans don't. Humans can always find out the truth behind these phenomena.
It seems that this is the truth...
But where does such high nuclear radiation come from?
Could it be that a nuclear war happened here? An advanced civilization once appeared here, or... was this once an interstellar battlefield?
Various thoughts emerged in Yu Yifeng's mind, and everything seemed so confusing.
"Captain, look here!"
At this moment, Zhao Yao's eyes lit up as he was following behind him.
He stepped forward carefully, dug out a rusty and shapeless iron rod from the pit, and then slowly handed it to Yu Yifeng's hand.
Yu Yifeng frowned and took the iron rod and looked at it carefully.
This iron rod... actually looks a bit like the steel bars in the house! Yes, it's nothing else, just an ordinary steel bar. It's impossible for such a thing to appear in nature.
However, it was so rusty that it broke off when touched, leaving no trace of its original condition.
Yu Yifeng was shocked and his heart was beating wildly. He couldn't help asking: "Can you detect the specific material texture and age?"
Another scientist took the iron rod, examined it carefully, and shook his head in embarrassment: "The rust is so strong that it basically blends in with the surrounding environment, making it difficult to identify..."
"But when we get back to the base, we have enough instruments, so we can give it a try."
Everyone was excited and commotion because of the appearance of this iron rod, which meant that they had found the right place, and there must be more things here!
It is impossible for a rusty steel bar to appear for no reason...
Yu Yifeng remained silent and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
He squatted down and carefully inspected the ground. It was all soil, sand and gravel, and there was nothing unusual about it.
He suddenly touched the wet soil with his hand, and an inexplicable intuition arose in his heart.
"Come on, let's dig together!"
After hearing Yu Yifeng's call, more than a dozen people immediately squatted down and dug directly into the ground without saying anything.
The rest of the people were holding guns and responsible for guarding the surrounding area.
The power armor itself is made of high-strength metal and has a certain digging function. In addition, the soil is relatively soft and there are not too many stones, so the digging speed is very fast, and the results were dug out in just ten minutes.
A... house!
A half-collapsed reinforced concrete house! The steel bars buried in the walls are vaguely visible.
I don’t know how many years it has been buried here. The contents inside have long been rotten, but traces of the house can still be identified...
Walls...and pieces of furniture!
"No, it can't be the remains of an interstellar civilization! It's an ordinary house, an ordinary residential building... There was a civilization here!"
A scientist spoke suddenly. His mouth was trembling, not only with excitement, but also with a hint of fear and a hint of enthusiasm. This contradictory and crazy mood was simply indescribable.
"There was even a city here! This is just the most ordinary house, yes, it must be just an ordinary house!"
But what about civilization? What about cities?
Why did civilization disappear?
Are those lizards descendants of this unknown civilization? Why have they degenerated to such an extent?
impossible!
Will civilization regress?
Everyone was filled with shock and started digging again. Then more strange things were dug out.
They dug down one or two meters deep and dug out something similar to a cement road. However, as time went by, broken walls and ruins were everywhere, and they even blended in with the surrounding environment. Only one part could barely be identified.
Fan.
Down here, it turned out to be a road!
This is indeed an ordinary house on the side of the road
Time has passed too long, too long...
It’s been so long that the traces of civilization have almost been erased!
Civilization, in the face of the eternal universe, is nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
Yu Yifeng became more and more frightened. Not only was he extremely excited, he felt that something was suppressing his heart. This contradictory feeling made him almost breathless.
"...Look, look, look!" A researcher dug out another lump of metal that was so rotten and shapeless that it was impossible to tell what it was originally.
"This is... a circuit board? This is a circuit board!" Another person found a stone and shouted crazily. Of course, the circuit board could not exist intact. It actually merged into the stone and turned into a fossil.
Something, you can actually tell the circuit from the stone!
Yu Yifeng suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Since we have circuit boards, we can be sure that this civilization has developed into the age of electricity. Even if the technology is inferior to humans, it is not much worse.
Moreover, personal computers in this unknown civilization may be quite common!
You know... there is a high probability that the area they were digging in was just an ordinary house! Yu Yifeng didn't believe that he was so lucky. He dug right into the core of an unknown civilization with just a casual dig.
.You can find technology sites by just digging around.
"Can you determine the specific technological content?" Yu Yifeng carefully looked at the circuit board embedded in the stone.
"Not yet." Another science team leader said regretfully: "The damage is too serious, we must take it back to the base to study it carefully. However, judging from the scale of circuit integration, I am sure that its technological content is
In the early 21st century or above...the remains of an unknown civilization!"
As he talked, the expert seemed to have thought of something, his face became red, and he fell into a feverish state: "Even the simplest technology is good, at least it means complete! The technology tree of our new human civilization is still
It developed too fast, and because the number of people was too small, there were a lot of faults..."
"Even some common technologies on Earth have been lost! Because our lunar database cannot include all the information on Earth!"
"And the emergence of this underground civilization ruins can make up for the shortcomings of our ordinary technology... No, maybe their technology is more advanced than ours... That would be even better!"
Based on the current discoveries, it is currently impossible to determine which of this unknown civilization and the new human civilization is stronger and which is weaker...
But according to various past signs, they have completely fallen to the Knicks!
