Chapter 617: Footprints of the Gods (please vote for the big chapter)
The shining light spreads evenly on the gray-white metal shell, reflecting a warm and dazzling light with a dull brown color.
In fact, what appeared before He Ao's eyes was a magnificent and almost shocking metal creation.
Its central part is overall fusiform, with a visual length of several thousand meters. The thickest part is nearly a hundred meters in diameter. Beautiful arcs form its shell. The well-proportioned split-level structure makes this huge object appear in the dark.
It can also show harmonious beauty in the space.
In front of such a behemoth, a human being is as big as an ant.
And such a huge fusiform structure is not all of this metal creation.
Five thick columnar metal pipe rods are perpendicular to the central axis of the entire fusiform shape, forming an even angle of 72 degrees, extending toward the void.
Then at the end of this long pole, nearly a thousand meters away from the central axis, is connected a huge metal ring.
This metal ring slowly rotates in a counterclockwise direction.
Of course, calling it a 'ring' is relative to the huge fusiform central part.
In fact, this ring is made up of blocks with different shapes. In some blocks, you can still see a dark viewing window.
This 'metal ring' is actually the 'cabin' where the crew of the spaceship lives.
There is actually more than one such annular cabin with a diameter of nearly two thousand meters. When He Ao raised his head, he could see three slowly rotating annular cabins arranged in sequence.
Two counterclockwise and one clockwise.
To be precise, there are four annular cabins, because the area where He Ao and the others are now should itself be an annular cabin.
A circular chamber that runs clockwise.
"So this is where the 'gravity' under our feet comes from?"
Zhang Yusi, standing next to He Ao, looked at the magnificent rotating ring cabin.
These ring cabins rotate at a constant speed, and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation is just similar to the gravity of the main world, so after entering this spacecraft, they can walk 'smoothly' on the ground without being suspended due to weightlessness.
In fact, it is this normal 'gravity' that makes Zhang Yusi always skeptical about whether this place is a real spaceship.
Now, this doubt has finally been explained.
He Ao stood in front of the picture window, staring at the continuously rotating ring cabin outside.
This is the Navigator, a behemoth composed of a fusiform central axis and several huge ring cabins.
Only such a behemoth can support the crew's long-term life in the universe.
This is a spacecraft that is destined to go deeper into deep space after setting off.
It may not even be ready to return.
So it's called the Navigator.
Always in front.
The name "Navigator" is actually very interesting, it means the person who leads the course.
Whose direction should we lead?
This spaceship has the same origin as the ruins, so perhaps this spaceship is leading the course of the ruins.
So, where are they going?
If the ruins civilization really originated from the original federation of the replica world, why did they set out?
Judging from the current situation of the dungeon world, the dungeon world has not yet reached the point where it is completely unviable.
Moreover, from the public history of the federation, one can easily detect a detail that has never been stated explicitly in any history books of the federation - the original federation was not established from the second district where the current federation is located.
First, the first district and the people in the first district established the original federation. Then they spread their achievements and organized people from other regions in turn. This ended the era of the Great Cataclysm and opened the era of the original federation.
The founders of Chenxi City were not people living on the land of Chenxi City, but ‘visitors’ who had traveled across the ocean.
The original federation was destroyed by a big storm. The sudden big storm cut off the shipping routes and completely isolated the second region from other major regions. Only then did the current federation come into being.
However, the powerful storm did not have much impact on the land, at least not in the second area.
So, back to the original question, those people in the ruins, why did they set sail?
What happened along the way that led to the destruction of the entire ruins civilization?
Why does the main world have a relationship with the ruins?
He Ao slowly retracted his thoughts.
Obviously, the knowledge and information he currently possesses are not enough to solve these problems.
He stared at the center of the entire spacecraft, that is, the huge fusiform 'shaft'. For some reason, he always felt that there was something there.
After thinking for a moment, he turned on his super memory and looked at the spindle.
boom--
A violent and chaotic torrent exploded in his mind in an instant. The chaotic and twisted sound of mechanical friction and the sound of sticky flesh and blood mixed together and echoed in his mind.
I saw something I shouldn't have seen again, but this level was still within the tolerable range.
He Ao was still staring at the fusiform central axis. In Chaoyi's sight, the entire fusiform central axis was shrouded in a thin layer of gray shadow.
This shadow contracts and expands rhythmically, just like the even breathing of a sleeping person.
Following this gray shadow, He Ao could vaguely see some invisible connection hidden in the depths of the shadow, submerged in time and space, leading to infinity.
And the moment he discovered this connection, the sound that was surging and rolling in his mind like ocean waves suddenly roared, like a raging fire burning on the bottom of the sea, boiling the entire ocean.
Endless crazy words were rushing through He Ao's brain. For a moment, He Ao felt like his brain was inflating like an inflated balloon, and then being squeezed back by his skull.
A severe dizziness hit his sea of consciousness.
At the same time, the gray shadow that was originally 'breathing' rhythmically expanded suddenly and seemed to be about to become 'active'.
At this moment, He Ao turned off his super memory and withdrew his sight.
The back of his hand touched the philtrum, and bright red blood stains were stained on the back of his hand.
Nosebleed.
Even with such a strong body, he couldn't bear the impact just now.
He took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped away the nosebleed.
"Which department?"
At this time, Zhang Yusi also noticed He Ao's movements. She looked at He Ao with some worry and confusion.
"fine,"
He Ao put away the tissue and said, "It's a small problem that was expected."
He should have just seen the 'traces' left by a certain god, and therefore, was involved in the power of that god.
He actually has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of thing. As long as he is not facing good friends directly, the contact with such scraps will at most make him have a nosebleed, but it will not cause much harm.
In the impact just now, the strongest force was actually those polluted ravings, but these ravings were still within the tolerance of He Ao.
As for the physical attack, it was just a partial overflow of spiritual power. Although it had an impact on his body, it did not cause much damage to his body.
Zhang Yusi looked at He Ao's actions. Although she was still a little worried, since He Ao said so, she did not ask any more questions.
She raised her head and looked at the huge fusiform central axis outside the window, as if that was the problem that arose after seeing that.
But in her field of vision, it was just a shocking huge metal building with nothing special about it.
When Zhang Yusi looked up at the fusiform central axis, He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked behind him.
There must be something special about that fusiform central axis. The fog covering the entire central axis, as well as the traces left by the gods, may mean that that is the core that caused the change in the spacecraft.
Try your best to go and have a look.
To reach the fusiform central axis, you need to find the passage connecting the central axis and the annular cabin.
This channel should exist.
So you still have to find a map that shows this kind of passage.
The place where He Ao was at this moment was a vast hall. In this hall, there were neatly arranged metal boxes the size of a person lying down one after another.
These metal boxes have special designs, mainly white, with sharp edges and corners in the overall design, full of a sense of technology.
It is obvious that the designers tried to distinguish these metal boxes from ‘coffins’.
At this moment, these densely arranged metal boxes were opened without exception, and bright lights shone on the dried blood stains on the ground, making the whole scene appear strange and grotesque.
"Who are these?"
At this moment, Zhang Yusi also turned around. She couldn't see anything from the fusiform central axis. It seemed to be beyond her understanding.
"It should be some kind of hibernation pod."
He Ao raised his steps, walked through the gaps between the sleeping cabins, and walked towards the opposite side of the hall.
The structure of the entire hall is very simple, with regular metal walls on all sides.
What He Ao is currently on is a wall with a huge picture window. On the walls on his left and right sides, there is a door on each side. The inside of the door is completely dark, and the depth cannot be seen.
They had just entered through the door on the left, where there was a flesh spider's 'nest' hidden in the darkness.
As for the door on the right,
He Ao turned his head and glanced at the dark passage, then slowly withdrew his gaze.
Directly opposite him was a wall inlaid with display screens, which seemed to have been used to display certain statuses.
Most of these screens are damaged at this moment, and even if there is a complete screen, it is still dark.
But theoretically speaking, if there is a screen and a display, there must be a device that can output the display. There should also be a host in this hall.
Zhang Yusi also realized this, and she followed He Ao.
The two figures quickly passed through the neatly arranged sleeping cabins.
Under normal circumstances, these sleeping cabins should look full of technology if they are illuminated by bright lights and have flashing display devices.
But in this silence with blood everywhere, the dormant cabins that were opened one by one and filled with silence were really like open 'coffins' one by one.
The dim light shines through the huge picture window, and this hall is like a small 'cemetery' floating in the boundless universe.
Bright and desolate.
The two of them moved quickly and quickly reached the other end of the hall.
The location of the main unit is easy to find, because the metal door hiding the main unit is completely open at the moment, and most of the door hinge has been broken. The entire metal door is like a half-torn piece of paper, with one end hanging weakly.
He Ao walked to the door and knelt down.
This door is not big, about fifty centimeters wide and seventy centimeters high.
Looking in from outside the door, the first thing that catches the eye is the broken wires.
The cuts on these wires were very neat, as if someone had cut them directly with some kind of sharp blade.
The person who destroyed the host this time should know a little bit about computers. The lines he cut seemed to be relatively critical data lines.
He Ao turned on the flashlight and looked carefully inside the entire host.
This is a large engineering host, with block-shaped motherboard modules and central processing unit modules embedded on the motherboard modules densely arranged inside.
When it comes to these hardware parts, there are no cuts, but a few violent bullets.
He Ao glanced over and saw that most of the motherboards or central processing units had been penetrated, and even the storage chips had been swiped several times.
However, judging from the ferocity of this bullet, they should have been moving very quickly at that time, otherwise they could have destroyed these hosts in more detail.
"He department, do you have any clues?"
Zhang Yusi looked at the dense lines inside.
These things were starting to go beyond her understanding.
"We are very lucky, they left in a hurry," He Ao stretched out his hand, "Give me the dagger."
"OK."
Zhang Yusi handed the dagger to He Ao.
He Ao took off the bone sword from his back, inserted it next to him, and stretched half of his body into the door.
The blade of the dagger touched the fixing screw of a certain motherboard module, and then he cut the screw with force.
Next, he kept repeating the operation.
Soon, he removed a complete small motherboard module, which was the only complete motherboard module in the entire motherboard array.
However, the central processing unit of this module was destroyed.
Then he groped inside for a while and found a small central processing unit whose protective cover had been destroyed but whose main body was intact.
This central processing unit is only the size of his thumb and is completely incomparable to the 8753 quantum computer.
But now he has a small motherboard module and a small processor.
The federation of the dungeon world has basically integrated the memory chip into the motherboard module, and the ruins civilization should have done the same.
However, the memory chip of this motherboard module has been destroyed, and He Ao has not found a complete memory chip.
Although there is no storage chip, the system should still be able to start with only the highly integrated motherboard module and processor.
But what He Ao needs is actually the map that may be stored in the storage chip.
He Ao stuck the processor in the CPU position of the motherboard module.
This motherboard module is highly integrated and its size is well controlled. The entire module is only the size of He Ao’s palm.
Now, it's just a matter of trying to find a usable memory chip that might store the map.
He Ao slowly pulled out of the metal door.
At this moment, the lights outside suddenly went out.
The entire hall fell into darkness.
Only the faint light from the viewing window illuminated this dead area.
In this dark shadow, there seemed to be a huge body approaching quickly.
Huge tentacles stretched out from the void and spread to the heads of He and Ao.
Like a spider waiting for prey, it pounces on prey that steps into the spider's web.
"He Bu! Be careful!"
Zhang Yusi discovered these tentacles. She quickly raised her gun, but she was still a step too late.
At this moment, He Ao had just pulled out of the small metal door. The bone sword was behind him, and the dark tentacles had already stretched out in front of him.
Obviously, the guys behind these tentacles want to deal with him, the more dangerous one, first.
It seems too late to draw the sword now.
He Ao raised his hand.
Get things from the air!
The bone sword stuck behind him suddenly disappeared and appeared in his hand.
