The emergence of a city immediately aroused everyone's interest.
But at first glance, this city is so dilapidated and desolate...
It has been submerged by the sea, and only a few taller skyscrapers are sticking out.
The walls of the tallest building look like a huge sample of tertiary syphilis, covered with red, orange, blue and purple algae...
Compared with the ocean full of life, this lifeless city gives people an inexplicable sense of heaviness.
Drones roar past and transmit back a large amount of images. It is difficult for the human eye to obtain a large amount of information from so many cameras, but extremely high-speed computers can!
At this moment, the amount of calculations of the supercomputers on Titan Z and Deep Space began to soar. The image recognition function was fully activated. As long as there is an unusual life being photographed, it will definitely be able to find it!
"How is it? Have you found any traces of intelligent life?" Xu Yunjin asked anxiously.
A staff member operated the drone for a while and shook his head: "Unfortunately, after calculation and analysis, the drone has not captured any suspicious footage for the time being."
"According to our estimation, this area has been abandoned for decades...about twenty years, and is full of ordinary marine life."
Xu Yunjin frowned, an abandoned city submerged by seawater...
What does it mean?
Many scientists are also analyzing the reasons why the city was abandoned.
Next, the drones were naturally divided into several teams, with one team continuing to explore the inland areas. The other team circled the sky above the city, trying to find some useful clues.
They placed six-legged robots on skyscrapers one by one. The robots clung to the walls and climbed in through the windows.
During this process, Yu Yifeng did not issue any orders, but let them go freely. Generally speaking, he was quite satisfied with the actions of these captains...
"Unexpectedly, although the city was submerged by the ocean, it still looked intact and there were no traces of attacks. There was a bit of nuclear radiation. It should be radioactive dust drifting from other places."
"As you can see, the rooms are generally clean and valuable things have been taken away. It doesn't look like they were evacuating in a hurry. So I think these natives should have retreated in an orderly manner... They have expected that the sea level will rise significantly.
, flooding the city... doesn’t look like an emergency!”
A scientist studied each picture and considered it carefully.
"It's a pity... Over so many years, many things have been corroded by sea water. These marine organisms have high corrosive capabilities. Only a few have not been submerged."
From this city, people did not get very effective clues.
In particular, humans have found no traces of war... This is a bit strange.
Of course, no matter how clean the evacuation site is, people will still find a lot of abandoned garbage.
Among them are electronic waste, as well as some discarded furniture, books, electrical appliances, etc. The robot collects them habitually.
Especially the things in books are quite useful. You can find the corresponding text and pictures from them...
"Let's try the translation robot that has been researched in recent years..."
"Eh... what is this? A reading machine? You can try to repair it. This is a good thing!" Some informatics experts have already begun to work in advance, and deciphering the characters of the indigenous civilization has become the first major thing.
Over the years, human technology has made all-round progress, and translation capabilities have of course been greatly improved. If you have enough information, translating a text into another language should not be a big problem.
Looking at the picture on the screen, Yu Yifeng pondered.
Is it an intact city that was submerged? Is it because the civilization's extensive use of fossil fuels triggered the greenhouse effect, which then caused sea levels to rise?
It's probably like this... The city was submerged, so of course it couldn't be inhabited.
Also, what are the light spots observed a few years ago?
Is it really a nuclear bomb?
"In terms of time, more than ten years have passed since the few light spots observed by the astronomical telescope."
One scientist speculated: "It takes 6.8 years for the light here to reach the GB131 metal planet. And we mined the metal planet for another two years, and the curvature navigation took three years... a total of more than 11 years.
a little."
"So...if there really was a nuclear war, it happened more than ten years ago!"
"It has been more than ten years since the war ended!"
After hearing this inference, Yu Yifeng nodded silently.
He originally wanted to issue some instructions to the front, but he forced himself to hold back. Since he gave them enough authority, they shouldn't take more care.
He just secretly reminded Xu Yunjin in Titan Z to be more vigilant because this planet is a bit weird.
In fact, the captains of these frigates were more careful than he thought. They did not issue more drones, nor did they let the robots enter fully automatic working mode. They still patiently controlled them manually.
Well, even if it's a little slower, everyone can wait...
The first batch of vanguard flying troops moved very quickly. They passed over the city submerged in the sea and headed inland.
Taking low-altitude shots along the way, I discovered some roads submerged in weeds, half-collapsed houses, and messy construction debris...
There are also various iron towers crookedly lying on the ground, which should be used for pulling wires. All these metals have a lot of rust marks.
It's completely... a wasteland world!
After so many years, the amount of radiation still exceeds the normal standard. If you live in this kind of place for a long time, you will not die immediately, but will probably get some chronic diseases. This makes many people whisper and curse, this kind of wasteland planet
, just controlling radiation pollution requires a lot of energy.
After half an hour, the drone finally found traces of the war.
A huge nuclear crater!
A large number of surrounding houses have collapsed, but the various plants in the crater are growing lushly.
Life is always tenacious. Even if there is radiation, there is still life that can survive here tenaciously.
They stick to this place generation after generation. Although their life span may be shortened, they still live on...
"Judging from the yield and nuclear radiation, it should be a hydrogen bomb or a neutron bomb...the amount of radiation is not large!"
"It's a pity...still no intelligent life has been discovered!"
Until now, the drone exploration has been more than three hours, and there are indeed many traces of intelligent civilization, but still no living intelligent creatures have been found.
This is a bit incredible...
Yu Yifeng thought about it in his mind. If New York or JD.com were razed to the ground, it would look like this...
In more than ten years, intelligent civilization has disappeared inexplicably. The entire planet has returned to the wilderness, animals have returned to their wild nature, and plants have grown wantonly. Everything seems to have been abandoned for a long time.
Where's the intelligent life? It's gone. Not only human eyes, but even computers haven't noticed it at all!
Are they extinct?
Facing this scene, Yu Yifeng suddenly felt a sharp pain in his temple, and his heart beat rapidly. An inexplicable discomfort occurred at this moment!
His sixth sense showed that there was no huge crisis beyond human capabilities on this planet, but he always had a strange sense of uneasiness.
And as time went by, this feeling of uneasiness gradually began to amplify.
There are many ordinary creatures, running happily on the ground, enjoying the return to wild nature. But according to the analysis of the picture, the probability of them having real intelligence is extremely low... they are definitely not the real masters of the planet.
Everyone felt a little baffled, yes, baffled. People carefully searched for a long time, but did not find the existence of intelligent life. It was as if these creatures suddenly evaporated collectively from the planet.
Was it taken away by aliens?
Or... is the war all dead?
"It's not necessarily a nuclear war, there might be a biological and chemical war, such as zombie viruses, T-viruses..." A scientist was talking in a low voice...
