It was built against a huge cave. The erosion of the years has made it impossible to see the details of the building, and can only vaguely recognize the outline of the building.
The buildings are built using a combination of steel and stone that is adapted to local conditions. The floor height is generally about 20 meters. There is an obvious street plan on the ground, which is full of traces of collapsed and weathered building materials.
The ruins are empty and deep, stretching endlessly as far as the eye can see.
Even though they are 2.6 million light-years apart, you can still feel the desolation and the cold wind blowing in your face.
Everyone looked at the picture in silence, saying nothing for a long time.
After a while, Director Zhang sighed leisurely: "It seems that this place has been completely abandoned for longer than we thought."
Sheng Fei immediately answered: "If they also used concrete, it would have been abandoned for at least three to five thousand years before it would weather like this."
"Then there must be nothing left. It might as well be a space ruin."
"Not necessarily. At least we can analyze their living habits from an architectural perspective, and there are many gadgets that can actually be preserved for thousands of years..."
"Then we have to conduct a blanket search of the ruins. But these buildings are all in pieces at first glance. How can you find them?"
"The solution is always figured out by people."
"Look, everyone, is that an underground pipeline?"
While everyone was talking, Ye Ming also called Yin Ta in his mind, asking her to take over the drone and continue exploring.
Unlike other people's "disappointments", Ye Ming has always maintained a calm and expectant mood.
Because logically, he determined that this should be the last refuge or survival place of the Blue Star civilization, at least one of them.
So... think about it from another person's perspective, what will an intelligent race do when they realize that their civilization is about to disappear?
If it were Ye Ming himself, in addition to saving at all costs, the more important thing may be to preserve the essence of human civilization as much as possible - knowledge, culture, art. And let these be used by as many civilizations as possible
What we know, and at the same time, try our best to make these available to the next intelligent race, so that the spirit and essence of civilization can be continued and inherited to the maximum extent.
The premise of all this is preservation.
Ye Ming felt that these blue star people who had created space cities and even visited the solar system thousands of years ago would probably have the same thoughts as him when their civilization came to an end.
As the drone progressed, the ruins went deeper and deeper, and giant pipes could be seen everywhere on the cave walls, and a network of pipes based on the pipes could also be vaguely discerned.
After a brief exchange, Yin Ta simply followed the pipe and headed deeper into the ruins.
Gradually, the ruins of a huge factory appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"If it were me, I would build a controllable fusion reactor in the underground city, and then make full use of the waste heat of the fusion reactor to control the temperature of the entire city." Ye Ming looked at the ruins and said softly: "So I guess this
It’s a fusion reactor.”
Director Zhang looked at him: "What about the source of food?"
Zhou Xiangnan immediately said: "Synthesis?"
"Well, synthesis is one way." Ye Ming nodded slightly and asked Yin Ta to continue to move deeper: "Currently, the only thing that humans need to synthesize starch is the low-cost ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase.
Yeah... But we can’t assume that the Blue Planet people also need starch like us."
"Hey, Mr. Ye, it's not like writing a thesis, so there is no need to be so rigorous." At this time, Sheng Fei laughed: "Since the Blue Planet ecosystem is highly consistent with the Earth's, and now they all tend to have the same origin, then Blue Star's organisms
The food must be about the same...right Mogu?"
Mo Gu had been watching quietly from the side. Hearing this, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Our bold guess is correct, some people can't just say something to death."
Ye Ming: "..."
Everyone had fun together.
Indeed, after entering the Blue Star for detection, Ye Ming has always been very conservative in his speech and expressions in slightly formal situations, which fully demonstrates the rigor of a scientist - even if he wants to make guesses, he will add many attributives and
environment.
Obviously, this is not because Ye Ming is timid, but the more he faces a big discovery, the more he needs to be calm and not be reckless.
"It's better to wait until the detection spacecraft arrives, and then make a comprehensive survey of the food chain and ecosystem here before making a decision." Ye Ming paused as he spoke: "But...since there are herbivores here, and the plants are also
It is highly similar to plants on Earth, so... it should be similar."
"They must also have a food processing factory, but it may not be a starch production factory. Maybe it is the cultivation of other organisms? Don't forget, the Blue Star people are very accomplished in the field of biotechnology."
As he spoke, the drone had already passed the area that Ye Ming identified as the Great Transformation Power Plant and arrived at another factory area with slightly lower buildings.
This factory area is densely covered with pipelines, and even huge vehicles can be faintly recognized on the ground.
Seeing this, Ye Ming's eyes gradually lit up.
Visibly to the naked eye, the degree of weathering and corrosion here is slightly lower than where we came from.
This means that they take longer to run.
At this moment, Yin Ta's voice suddenly sounded: "The drone has 30% remaining power, do you want to return?"
Ye Ming just thought for a moment and then made a decisive decision: "Continue to explore."
"receive."
"Keep going, let's look for the least weathered building."
"receive."
The drone continued to move forward and had gradually reached the edge of the underground space. Judging from the degree of weathering, it was indeed lower. But even so, all the buildings were in dilapidated condition, with no exploration value at all, or visible to the naked eye.
the value of.
Ye Ming frowned deeply.
This dungeon is too big, and there is no light source. It is a completely dead city. It is too strenuous to explore just by relying on the lighting of the drone.
Of course, this is not the main thing. The main thing is that he did not see any iconic buildings or signs - did the Blue Star people lie down at the last moment of the demise of civilization?
Seeing Ye Ming's expression, Director Zhang knew that he was a little disappointed. He smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Ye, don't worry, we are just at the first entrance. In such a big city, there must be more than one entrance. Let's do more next time.
Let’s take a closer look at the battery.”
Ye Ming breathed out gently, and after a moment, he nodded slowly.
It seems that I am indeed a little anxious.
But at this moment, a light suddenly flashed in the screen!
A piece of light seemed to be shining on a bright mirror and was suddenly reflected back, so that there was a glare on the lens.
"what is that?"
"It seems to be gold?"
"Golden Gate?"
Amid everyone's chatter, the drone's searchlight shined on the source of the reflection.
At the very edge of the city, a metal gate almost embedded in the cave wall shines with the unique light of gold.
Rows of tadpole-like words are vaguely visible on the door.
