The locals on this planet regard the terrifying eop-03 in their orbit as an energy furnace, and they even think it is a natural thing: no one seems to know that once that thing falls, the entire planet will be destroyed in an instant.
Fired into glass.
Shandora let go of the local, and the latter's eyes returned to clarity after a trance. It seemed that she was wondering why she suddenly stood in front of a group of strangers and became stunned. Then the woman nodded silently to us, and quickly
Walked away.
"They must have been collecting energy from that thing for a long time." Sandora looked up at the blue-white fireball slowly moving in the sky, and then looked around. The main colors of the city are gray and black, and all the buildings are
Built with a darker alloy, although there are many people on the streets and the city is very prosperous, I always feel that this tone is filled with a deep and depressing atmosphere - well, we will not discuss the color of these buildings, after all, each species
Their customs and habits are different, and even the world in their eyes is not necessarily the same shape. The world in Shandora's eyes still has small arrows and information tables on everything. What I want to say is that all the buildings here have
The weak psionic energy reaction should be the main energy source of this planet. These psionic energies are not pure. In my perception, they show various clear properties: they have conduction speed and generate heat when flowing through certain conductors.
, there is electromagnetic radiation... Pure psionic energy does not have these clear properties, because it is located at the high level of the void ladder, it should be an ambiguous and fuzzy energy. When it becomes so clear, it means that this psionic energy has almost reached its peak.
It decays into ordinary energy common in the universe. Therefore, the energy in this city is the end product of psionic energy. Undoubtedly, this extreme decay of psionic energy is transmitted from those spacecraft in space.
"The energy harvesting ship uses something like a prism to collect the weak ghost energy radiated by the bomb, and then irradiates it to the ground. There is a huge storage device under this city. This storage device is not very efficient, but it can store relatively strong
Low psionic energy, and this planet relies on this energy system to maintain operation without the sun." Sandora narrowed her eyes slightly, and her perception spread to the depths of the underground, "...there is still matter down here.
In factories, when the psionic energy is completely exhausted, it can be guided by material guidance equipment. It decays into entities and turns into energy residues. These residues still have high energy values and are very unstable. They are then sent up to the sky to fill those fusion furnaces.
It becomes the source of light and heat for the planet. This is the entire life-support system of this planet. It was definitely not built overnight.”
"By digging a hole here, you should be able to find the energy center of the city in one fell swoop. Then follow the network to find the center of other cities or the energy dispatching system of the entire planet. From this system, you should be able to figure out how they got from eop-03
We are here to collect energy." Weijia said seriously, while pacing next to us, she measured it on the ground with her long legs that could kill leg models, as if she wanted to calculate the size of her scorpion body.
It seemed like a big hole was needed to drill it in. I immediately felt that it was a mistake to bring this stubborn Scorpion sister. I might as well bring Raven 001 or Aura.
"I have left more probes in space orbit. The structural map of this planet will be available soon. There is no need to use such troublesome methods," Sandora glanced at Vega. Then she led everyone out of the square.
Go, "Now I want to know about the situation of the indigenous people in this world. It is rare to see people thrive in a universe that is about to be extinguished."
"They don't seem to be in a desperate mood." I looked at the pedestrians passing by. Although the city had dark colors and the pedestrians' clothes were not in line with the aesthetics of earthlings, there was nothing visible about the passers-by around me.
I felt the despair of living in a universe that was on the verge of extinction. They were walking around normally, chatting, laughing, and making a lot of noise. The floating car in the air brought gusts of wind. When I closed my eyes, I felt that I was not far away from Nanfu Street.
Yuan: It doesn’t look like the end of the world is about to happen.
Except that the sun in their sky has almost gone out, and now a set of fusion furnaces are providing light.
"Why despair? It will take hundreds of millions of years before the universe is completely extinguished. A red dwarf star can continue to burn slowly for tens of billions of years after it is formed. Even if they come to an end now, their remaining lifespan is a miracle to mortals.
Numbers," Sandora shook her head, "Too many races have short lifespans, and even if their world is about to collapse, it is difficult for them to feel it. The process of the universe gradually dimming is extremely slow, and they have too much time to survive from generation to generation.
Slowly changing their lives, the new generation will not think that there is anything wrong with the fusion furnace in the sky and the dark night sky after the fusion furnace is shut down, nor will they think that the cold winter of the universe that will come in hundreds of millions of years or even more will not affect them.
Is there any connection? They have long been accustomed to this, and they have no nostalgia for the pastoral era when the stars twinkled. Is there anyone on earth who regrets that he was not born at the beginning of the star-making movement? Obviously not."
I was speechless. This is something that can only be felt after hundreds of millions of years. Shandora has witnessed the rise and fall of the world and the degradation of races. There are too many, and the dark and dim space in front of her is nothing more than that to her.
The Ming who thrives in this world is just "rare" to her.
"So, let's boil Ding Dong in warm water..." I sighed leisurely.
Sandora: "...?"
We followed Sandora around this somewhat weird city. She didn't seem to be thinking about anything, but I would look up from time to time to look at the deadly big fireball in the sky, for fear that it would fall down.
Half an hour later, Sandora finally tasted everything nearby that looked edible, and wiped her mouth with satisfaction: "Okay, I almost understand."
I looked at Sandora silently and said to myself that it was exactly what I thought. Sandora said that we need to understand the local customs and customs of the local indigenous people. Basically, we start by understanding what delicious food there is. Her Majesty the Queen’s view of this world.
The main sensory organ is indeed the tongue.
"Ajun, don't you want some?" Sandora held up a bunch of green stuff in her hand and couldn't tell whether it was vegetables, meat, or some other strange food and thrust it in front of me, "It tastes good, it's kind of delicious."
The mixed taste of crushed ice-rock asteroids.”
When I heard this, I was even more afraid to agree, and quickly took two steps back: "Should we get down to business?"
Shandora stuffed the bunch of things that were said to taste similar to a mixture of ice and stone into her mouth, wiped the corners of her mouth. Then she grabbed a passerby from the street as before: "Excuse me, I want to ask something...
…”
I slapped my forehead: Sandora is becoming more and more skilled in grabbing passers-by and asking a bunch of weird questions.
The passerby who was stopped by Sandora was a young man who looked almost half a child. Under Sandora's mental disturbance, the other person did not show any surprise at being suddenly stopped, but nodded honestly.
, as if everything Shandora does is taken for granted - I have to say one more thing, this kind of mental disturbance is actually a quite terrifying ability. If Shandora uses this ability on a group of people, and then points at a person,
Say "jump" to the magma pool. The pool will be filled up within a minute. This is not mental control, but simple cognitive disruption, causing any thinking individual to have a wrong perception and feel that Sandora ordered
Everything is an unconditional truth - but in the past half hour, the only effect of Shandora's ability was to let her eat half a street of Overlord Meal. In the end, the twin sisters and I had to give it to everyone one by one.
Leave something that may be useful on the stall as compensation: There is no way, with Sandora's appetite, it is possible for her to increase the GDP of a small Eastern European country with just one mouth...
Sandorabi gestured with people to ask for one thing: a local database, or a library, or a information center, or a convenient website for citizens to inquire. In short, it would be anything like this. As a civilization that has spread throughout the universe
A civilization must establish a complete and convenient information sharing system. This system will cover every individual in the entire ethnic group and cover all the information wealth created by this civilization. Just like the Internet on Earth. Of course, the Internet for people on Earth is still
It cannot be said that it covers all the information of the entire civilization, but through it you can almost understand the history of the entire civilization, at least you know what is going on on the earth. The higher the level of civilization, the more developed this network will be. Through it,
Understanding a world is undoubtedly the ultimate way to save worry and effort.
So I always feel that the aliens who were killed in the American blockbusters were really hard-working. If they could have sent two people to an Internet cafe on Earth to spend the night in advance, the invasion would have been successful. At least they had been prepared and would not have been so hard-working.
The heroic and fighting American people used disinfectant and cold viruses to kill them... You see, as aliens, we are quite skilled at this.
Sandora inquired with people for a long time, and finally figured out where to find this kind of information: in the north of the city center, there is a facility called the "Advanced Information Support Center", which is just like that.
The National Museum is open to experts, scholars and internal members. Only there can you find the real core things.
The source and energy collection method of eop-03 in space, which is the lifeblood of the planet, must be stored there.
We are very glad that we chose the largest city on the planet to land in. There is only one such query facility on the entire planet. It is exclusively open to the scholar group on the planet, and the information stored inside is like that of the military of various countries on the planet.
Intelligence is the same, physically isolated from civilian networks. In other words, if we use data terminals to brute force the various signals received in the city, we will actually not be able to see the data at all: Sandora has already thought of this, so she
I specially found a local to inquire about the situation. Although civilians do not have the opportunity to access large databases, they at least know that there is such a national library on their planet.
"This is it - wow, it's quite big."
After a while, we came to the locals' "National Library". This is a triangular prism building larger than the Empire State Building. The exterior is covered with solemn black crystals, like a black monument - well, almost all buildings in this place
They were all black. Standing in front of the entrance of this building, I looked up and sighed slightly at its size: As a "library" (that's how I understood it), it really needs to be built like this.
Is it big?
The empire's main database is scattered throughout the data network, without even a physical building - the difference between the Xiling apostles who advocate efficiency and pragmatism and the ordinary races who care about appearance and style is really big.
Sandora once again used mental interference to confuse the attention of the building guards, while Vega was responsible for interfering with the access control system. We walked into this building used to record sensitive information on the planet (not top secret).
When I walked into the gate of the building, I looked down and saw a huge bright red triangle emblem on the ground in front of the main gate. It almost covered the entire ground in front of the gate. This is considered a sign of the lack of color in this city.
Rarely bright colors.
I thought this emblem looked familiar, but then I thought about it and realized that a red triangle is quite common. It is probably the emblem of the indigenous people of this planet.
With the help of Sandora's ability, we are a group of upright visitors, and all checkpoints are open to visitors. This magnificent triangular prism building is divided into many floors, and the layout of each floor is somewhat similar to a museum on Earth.
Hall: Blocks separated by light beams are arranged neatly, and in each block there is a set of floating cylindrical devices with low light. These devices should be general data interaction devices. Of course, they can also be seen in other parts of the hall.
It seems to be something more advanced, but Sandora is not interested in that. She just needs an access point and a ready-made index directory. The performance and advanced nature of these devices have no meaning to her.
An administrator in a black short robe came over, seemingly wanting to provide some help. Shandora glanced in his direction, and the administrator returned to his original position with blank eyes.
"Celestial phenomena, history, natural sciences, entries, energy technology...these entries are meaningless." Sandora put her hand on the top of the cylindrical device closest to her. She didn't know how to operate this, but she did it in a short time.
She cracked the reading method of this thing, and now she directly scans the core of the device at the microscopic level to read the data. At the same time, she converts the data she sees into a holographic image and releases it for us to watch, "It seems like this
The information on this planet is not comprehensive. Regarding the bomb, this is all the information——"
The gray-black planet we are on now appears on the holographic projection. As well as eop-03 above the planet, there are lines representing energy broadcasts between the bomb and the planet. There are bright grids distributed on the surface of the planet: This should
It is a schematic diagram of the planetary energy supply network. The words on the screen are distorted and difficult to read, but after Shandora searched the entire database, she translated them according to the rules of language distribution and ideographic symbol distribution. This translation is generally accurate:
Sky's eop-03 is directly called an energy furnace, and it has been operating in this world for hundreds of thousands of years.
Yes, hundreds of thousands of years - it is indeed not something left by Harlan, and judging from the time, it is millions of years ago... that was the peak period of the old empire!
The person who left behind the energy furnace was a legendary figure called the General. In the introduction to the energy furnace, the General was mentioned respectfully. The information explained that the General was the leader and savior of Ming Dynasty. This is
A general brought the endangered civilization out of a collapsing world, and then placed it in this universe. The general left behind knowledge and equipment, and these wealth were handed over to the people for safekeeping. According to the information, when the general left,
Promise that he will return one day in the future. At that time, the general will retrieve the wealth he left behind and lead Ming to another world. During this period, everything the general left behind: technical information, energy furnace, ghost
Energy equipment, special resources, material converters, etc. are all left to the locals to use and hack freely.
Regarding how to collect the energy in the energy furnace, it was also a method left by the general. Because the local Ming Dynasty had not been exposed to such things as psionic energy, they were unable to create any equipment that could withstand psionic energy at first, so the general left behind a "prototype"
"And energy furnaces. Today's energy harvesting ships are copied from the prototypes of that year. However, the new energy harvesting ships are obviously not as smart as the prototypes of that year. They are large in size, and the energy storage devices underground in cities are also relatively backward.
A replica, the collection ship needs to be launched once every three days to meet the energy needs of a medium-sized colonial star.
We found the name of this Ming Dynasty in an inconspicuous place in the data. They called themselves the "Heisen Tribe", the exiles and guardians of the Ming Dynasty.
"They are waiting for the return of an imperial commander named the Great General. This is an alien civilization. Their origin is not in this universe." Sandora looked at the information thoughtfully, "This is much more interesting.
They were brought out from a world that was collapsing. The environment in that world was obviously much worse than this place. No wonder they could live so comfortably in this kind of universe. According to the slowest development speed of a civilization, they may be born
At the end of the universe - I have never seen what the universe looked like in the pastoral era. It is mentioned here that the return date agreed by the general is unknown... This is a bit strange, the Xiling Apostle will not make such an unclear promise."
"We basically never make promises about the future to ordinary races, because this may affect future actions and hinder efficiency," Vega said, "But once we make such a promise, it will be very precise and at no cost.
Complete it at all costs. This general should be a Xiling apostle, but her habits are really bad."
I didn't reply, because there was only one picture left in my mind: when I walked in just now, there was a bloody triangle emblem on the ground at the door...
I looked at Sandora: "Use the general as the key word and look for something."
"oh."
After a while, the information terminal began to play large sections of files - it seems that the natives of this world attach great importance to matters about the general. The information is extremely detailed, but I didn't pay attention to what was written on it. Everyone's eyes were focused on it.
Focus on those images.
The general is wearing a black hooded cloak - the same style as the local clothing we saw, including the texture - standing among a group of black-armored guards. The background is a huge metal structure that looks like a spaceship. The portrait should be on a space planet.
Photographed in Hong Kong, this general is very short and cannot see her face clearly, but two scarlet flashes can be seen in the shadow of the hood of her hooded cloak, and on the soldiers around her and the metal barrier behind her,
The most eye-catching thing is the blood-red triangular emblem.
