Chapter 147 Is the megalithic figure an alien material?
The giant stone statue is similar to the human form. Measured, the length is about 150 meters.
The head is a bit sharp, I don’t know if it’s the leader of the tribe or it’s an artistic process.
At first, Rina and Yukio planned to use salvage equipment to drag up the giant stone statue, but unexpectedly found that it was very heavy.
After detecting it again, it was found that it actually weighed almost 50,000 tons, which was really unbelievable.
There was no choice but to let the frigate and the research ship come together, and use the traction of the research ship and the powerful thrust of the frigate to pull the stone statue up from the water a hundred meters deep.
The ocean surface was surging due to the action. When the stone statue was lifted out of the water, water vapor filled the surroundings and countless rainbows were illuminated by the sun.
"Everything is fine!"
"The ship is operating well."
The operator reported on the progress of the salvage, and Yukio also said to Reina.
"Rina, please pull this stone statue to the shore, and I will send an underwater detector to check the situation in that city."
"No problem~"
Rina responded to Yukio like a girl, and pulled the giant stone statue towards the shore a few kilometers away.
After the turbulence on the sea subsided, the hatch of a ship parked on the water opened, and Yukio walked out, holding multiple devices and continuing to explore the underwater city.
Not long after, their reports reached Gao Shuling.
After Rina used fine instruments to remove the mud and algae attached to the stone statue, the appearance of the giant stone statue was revealed to everyone.
"They look very similar to humans, except they have a pointed head and a little big eyes. Is this what the R'lyeh people look like?"
Facing Rina's question, Gao Shuling could not answer it for the time being. Judging from the remaining traces, the Raleye people should not be like this.
Moreover, this kind of stone statue is somewhat bare. Why didn’t the sculptor add any depictions of clothing?
Soon, Yukio's underwater city exploration project was coming to an end.
It is similar to cities on land, except that the architectural groups have obviously been hit to varying degrees, like a dilapidated scene after a war.
"Based on my engineering experience, this city looks like it was hit by a giant hammer, and the rocks scattered everywhere don't look like they were struck by high-energy weapons."
"Interestingly, the civilization data model of this underwater city can also scan for clues. It should be integrated with your model in a few days."
The two of them were like students handing in homework, telling Gao Shuling their opinions and discoveries.
Gao Shuling also nodded with satisfaction, "Well, you two did a good job. Let's continue to detect the ocean surface in another area."
Rina and Yukio quit the communication after getting a new topic and continued to the next location to carry out the exploration project.
Later in the evening, Yuan Dawu's discoveries in the Eastern Hemisphere were also reported back, and he reported the situation to his mentor.
At this time, he had just finished building detection equipment in the jungle under the volcano. This area was similar to a tropical rainforest, but there were no mosquitoes or reptiles intruding, which made people feel quite comfortable.
"Although this active volcano is active, the possibility of eruption is not high. The mission to detect the crustal structure has not yet begun. There should be results in a few days."
"Well, please pay attention to your safety. I have synchronized the data detected by Rina and Yukio to the scientific research project. Please study more and take a look."
"Okay, I understand."
Yuan Dawu was very grateful for his tutor's concern.
In addition to being a mentor, Gao Shuling is also a distant relative of his. This project can also be regarded as a test for him. If it is successfully completed, it is not impossible to establish his own department.
Four days later, the second phase of the exploration of the planet R'lyeh was completed.
Everyone's understanding of R'lyeh civilization has deepened.
In the temporary scientific research station, except for Yuan Dawu who was not present, it was still Linai who reported the integrated civilization model to everyone.
"After our exploration these days, we can be sure that the R'lyeh civilization should have entered a highly information age..."
With her explanation, the combat team all understood the level of this R'lyeh civilization.
It can be said that the highly informationized era is similar to the civilian technology in Daxia now, except that there is no advanced technology like ultra-long-distance communication.
They are just one step away from entering space civilization.
As long as the global administrative organizations are unified and work together to develop aerospace technology, maybe the entire race will no longer be limited to one planet, and can develop the huge resources in the galaxy and enter the era of technological explosion.
It is a pity that although the R'lyeh civilization has developed the prototype of a space battleship, it seems to have stopped at the pace of global unification.
"Although the R'lyeh civilization has the ability to coordinate all administrative organizations, there are still constant frictions and frequent wars."
"Later, due to the shortage of resources, various administrative organizations stopped aviation research and development and entered the final era of war."
"As a result, the planet R'lyeh was severely polluted, and its livability dropped rapidly until their era of extinction came..."
Speaking of this, Rina's tone was also a bit heavy. As a sociology expert, she would inevitably be involved.
This is a typical example of a civilization trapped in a planet.
Human civilization is not like this. If it had not entered the unified era, Daxia would not have become an interstellar civilization and achieved its current achievements.
"Wait a minute, Miss Rina, what's going on with that giant stone statue? You don't seem to have said anything yet." A soldier asked curiously.
Indeed, Rina just described the development of the entire civilization, but what happened to this stone statue?
Could it be that the achievement was the product of the whim of some administrative organization?
The soldiers' curious questions were actually everyone's doubts.
Even Gao Shuling is thinking about this issue, because there are more and more unsolved mysteries about stone statues and the demise of civilization.
Rina collected her thoughts and began to continue talking.
"Let's talk about the giant stone statue first."
"After our inspection, we found that the density of the material making up this statue is far higher than we imagined. In other words, it may not be a product of this planet."
"And the demise of the R'lyeh civilization was also very strange."
"Judging from the scale of their development, the resources of the planet R'lyeh should still allow them to persist for another four to five hundred years, but they suddenly perished one day without leaving any obvious signs."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers were surprised. Could it be that the Raleye civilization was destroyed by aliens?
"So, regarding the exploration of R'lyeh civilization, I think we still need further exploration."
After a long narration, Rina gave her final conclusion.
After this meeting, everyone became more interested in the mystery of Raleye and started the third phase of detailed investigation.
And Yuan Dawu in the Eastern Hemisphere also made new discoveries.
After completing a project to detect crustal movement, he came to a strange conclusion.
The crust under that volcano is very normal, and it does not seem that the volcano was formed due to internal stress changes in the crust.
Everyone knows that volcanoes are formed due to the mutual compression of the earth's crust.
But under Yuan Dawu's scan, the crust in this area is complete, with no obvious signs of fracture.
He was curious, if this volcano was not caused by crustal movement, what happened?
Looking at the volcano with some dust erupting, Yuan Dawu felt a little confused.
"I feel like I should go there and take a look..."
