“After all, we have underestimated our civilization’s drive for freedom and our curiosity.
After we stopped them from flying into the sky, they began to dig underground. We used many means to stop them, even resorting to violence, and the initial stoppage seemed to be successful.
The empire of the first tyrant who dug underground was destroyed, but the energy reserves of the spaceship also began to be consumed at an accelerated rate during this war.
What makes us feel even more helpless is that the large-scale power outage during the war brought the steam engines that had been abandoned by them back onto the stage of history.
And scientists have also discovered that electric motors can also be used as generators. Electricity is no longer monopolized by us. Although it is much more difficult for them to obtain electricity, we still cannot stop them from continuing to climb their technology tree.
Subsequently, the countries they established would encounter rebellions every once in a while, and the reason for the rebellions was invariably the need to dig downwards or explore the sky.
In order to prevent these people from causing excessive floods, we completely stopped the power supply for several years, and used powerful weapons to directly kill their leaders from a distance.
We even turned off the artificial sun for a week to warn them.
But this still did not scare them. Instead, it convinced many people that they were on the right path. The confrontation between the people on the ground and us was getting more and more intense. The ecological roller was already developing out of control. As
With the invention of the steam engine, each suppression of them consumes more and more energy and materials. Even if we warn them as gods, we are still unable to stop it. Even after telling them the truth, they are not willing to believe it.
, many people think this is the weakness of the gods.
We believe that their resistance finally scared the gods. After thousands of years, we have not found a way to completely curb their desire to explore. We have tried burning their history books and destroying all traces of the past, but the most disturbing thing is that we
Something amazing happened.
I don’t know what means they used, but they actually found out their true past, that is, what they were like before independent civilization regressed. Although their records were very vague, many records were even wrong and were made up and imagined out of thin air.
.
But they roughly described that their race once roamed in the sea of stars, and now they have fallen into such a situation. They were imprisoned here by the gods. As long as they can break this cage, they can break out of the cocoon and become the people again.
A free race sailing in the starry sky.
Only then did we understand that we were wrong from the beginning, that we underestimated ourselves from the beginning. We have no way at all to make our civilization truly regress, even by relying on the most primitive way of word of mouth.
, there are still people who secretly preserved our culture and history, but they did not preserve it at the right time, and I am unable to undo the tragedy that is destined to come..."
…
Elizabeth saw that most of the murals behind them were epic wars between people on the earth and the gods in the sky. War promoted the development of science and technology, and the obstruction of the gods did not stop the people on the earth from continuing to dig, but instead allowed them to
The excavation progress is getting faster and faster, making their technological level higher and higher, and even the population is getting larger and larger.
And in these wars, a brand new church was established. That is, the church they see now whose symbol is a bud growing out of an eggshell.
Looking at this sculpture at this moment, everyone had different feelings. It was not until this moment that they realized the true meaning of this sculpture. It was not a simple sculpture, but also represented the desire of this civilization to break out of the cocoon and be reborn.
The holes in the murals are dug deeper and deeper, but the attacks of the gods become weaker and weaker. Everything seems to be coming to a perfect ending. The oppression of life fettered by the residents living here breaks the shackles of the world and breaks out of the cocoon.
Butterfly breaks out of its shell.
But seeing everyone present here, including Elizabeth, their expressions turned ugly.
Because after the last mural was on it, the gods completely stopped harassing them, completely cutting off the power supply, and only a thin layer of the underground cave remained.
But there are no other murals behind this mural. If there is still civilization surviving in this world, then the church murals should have the next scene. The only possibility for the murals to be cut off is that what they observed
This civilization was completely destroyed in a very short period of time, and they could also imagine the reasons for the destruction of civilization...
…
"The thousand-year war has finally exhausted the resources stored inside the spacecraft. I am also the last watchman who can maintain the operation of the spacecraft. I broadcast the final oracle to everyone in the name of the gods they once believed in, telling them all
The truth, tell them that once the ecological drum is dug, all the atmosphere inside will be lost into the vacuum, and no one will be able to survive.
Tell them that the artificial sun in the sky has only enough remaining energy to maintain its operation for five hundred years at most, and tell them that they must save energy as much as possible in order to persist until the space storm subsides.
Tell them that all the records of all civilizations in the past have been left by me in the archives of the artificial sun. If they don't believe it, they can fly to the artificial sun and check these books.
It's a pity that we have become the evil god in their minds. No matter what we say, no one will believe it. They are still digging the last layer of the ecological roller wall.
Although high-strength alloys are much stronger than soil and rocks, I believe that cannot stop their determination to explore. Maybe we were wrong from the beginning. Civilization should not only live in the present. Maybe we should choose from the beginning
Driving a broken spaceship, he died in the space-time storm..."
The record in the book stopped abruptly, and what was recorded next was a series of complex operating instructions, which were instructions to start the artificial sun. The extinguished artificial sun still stored the energy that started it for the last time.
…
"Let's go and see that big hole. Although we have already guessed what will happen, we still have to see it with our own eyes." Elizabeth rubbed her eyes, stepped on the flying skateboard, and flew with other demons.
Up in the air, flying towards the big hole in the photo in the distance.
When they were about to reach the sky above the large hollow, the artificial sun in the sky suddenly made a violent buzzing, followed by a little dim red light. As the red light gradually lit up, the sun became brighter.
stand up.
After hundreds of thousands of years, the artificial sun once again shined on the ecological roller. Lan Nuo released his finger from the start button and looked down through the porthole at the vast land beneath his feet.
Everything in front of them was like a little match girl lighting up the last match in her hand, illuminating the fantasy. Everyone seemed to see an army on the earth, wearing strong armor and fighting to the death, guarding the big hole. They saw
Countless hard-working workers are working tirelessly to dig underground.
Under the illumination of the sun, a huge hollow appeared on the earth of the ecological roller. Everything around the hollow had been razed to the ground. No trace of ancient civilization was left here, only the shape of an hourglass was left.
unique terrain.
When the ecological drum is completely hollowed out, the internal air pressure causes the atmosphere in the entire ecological drum to flow into the hole. An unprecedented super storm will destroy everything near the hole. However, there are corpses of epic heroes left, and there is no need to worry.
There will be remnants of super epic buildings, and all buildings that can prove that this miracle happened have been razed to the ground in the violent storm.
But everyone seemed to see the figures who had fought here on the ruins, and saw the last reverberations of this struggling civilization. At least in the last moments before its destruction, they could hold their heads high proudly and use their own destruction.
To prove that no one can break our wings!
Elizabeth looked up at the relit artificial sun in the sky and accelerated the speed of the skateboard under her feet. She was looking forward to seeing some miracle in the big hole. Maybe a seed of that civilization had really survived.
But time is the most ruthless killer. The doomsday storm destroyed everything in the hollow, and the surrounding area became desolate, and even the earth was polished smooth.
Standing at the edge of the funnel-like hole, Elizabeth made a decision that she didn't even think was rational: "Let's go down!"
Although this is an extremely risky decision, no one objects at this moment. They all want to see what is left in the world outside the ecological roller.
It was still rotating continuously. The relative speed between the ecological roller and the external spacecraft was very fast. This meant that it was very dangerous for them to jump out of the hole, but everyone still stepped on the individual aircraft and jumped down resolutely.
As they fell to the bottom of the cave, the facts told them that the miracle had not happened.
Outside the giant ecological roller, where the light swept across was a larger spherical space, and in this space, like space junk, there were scattered all kinds of crushed ruins, and everyone regained their weightlessness.
In this state, they are suspended among these ruins, letting them drift past them quickly.
Sometimes they can see the remains of huge buildings, and sometimes they can see relatively complete mummies. I wonder if it is a coincidence or the last remaining will of civilization is influencing them?
Elizabeth saw a sword floating towards her. The relative speed between the two parties was not very fast. She subconsciously reached out and held the sword. She was surprised to find that the guard of the sword was a
The shape of the crown looked very similar to the one painted on the previous mural. The hilt of the sword was engraved with characters she didn't recognize.
If Lan Nuo were here, he would be able to identify it. What is engraved on it is the motto left by the tyrant of the once destroyed empire: No one can break our wings!
…
Everyone finally left the ecological roller. Lan Nuo held the ancient books in the artificial sun and the sword that Elizabeth picked up, and sighed helplessly: "We seem to have accidentally done something that a prosecutor should do.
"
Elizabeth had sharp ears. After hearing this, she asked curiously: "What is a censor? Why do we do what censors should do?"
"Ah... Inquisitors! You should have the opportunity to get to know them in the future. The nature of their work determines that they often have to collect corpses for each civilization, and every civilization will show us this general thing before it perishes.
Certain angles show their brilliance and greatness. Therefore, those who are not strong enough will generally not be able to do this job, otherwise they will be in trouble in a few days."
Elizabeth: ""
"Okay, you don't have to keep this expression. Countless planets and countless civilizations in the universe will face various ways of extinction. When one day you really step into the starry sky, you will gradually get used to it.
And let me tell you, if your civilization maintains the status quo, without a figure like your father to break the divisions between various races and build a fleet to explore the stars, your end may not be better than theirs.
How much. So you'd better hurry up and inherit your father's throne and lead your civilized people to explore the stars."
For the first time, Elizabeth felt that the mission on her shoulders was so important. Before she saw a truly destroyed civilization, she had never imagined what the destruction of a civilization would be like. But now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she understands better that she is in a space bubble.
What important historical position does it occupy in civilization?
"When you say that, I'm really under a bit of psychological pressure. I feel like if I lose, I'll be sorry for the entire space bubble civilization." The little girl who was originally confident suddenly became a little timid.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry. The advantage you have now over the Holy See Alliance is really not even a little bit. Whatever you put on this spaceship and put it back there is Zenith Star technology. This time we go to the Ecological Drum.
It’s not that there is nothing gained. Although the level of human technological development on the ground is not as good as yours, no useful technology or equipment can be harvested.
But the last watchman finally did a good thing. He left behind a self-translation system for his own race's writing. Give me some time, and I can compile a translation dictionary between this thing and your writing. Wait for us
After you successfully start up the device you brought back, you can follow the text introduction on it and try to operate it, so that you won’t get blinded and study the screen protector for a long time, thinking it is some high-tech magic circle..."
On the other side...in the Athenian sanctuary...
Hao Ren, with a bunch of tenants in his house, gritted his teeth when facing the Holy Artifact of Origin in a different space, and the little old man explaining his plan like a villain in the shield next to the Holy Artifact.
"Don't compare me with you brainless low-level creatures. I have been researching the Origin Sacred Artifact for countless years just for this moment. As long as I press this button, the Origin Sacred Artifact will send me to the alien world."
The true hometown, where I will obtain the truly alien treasure!" As he pressed the button, the Origin Sacred Artifact began to vibrate.
Hao Ren and his teammates took out various weapons. The shield around the Origin Artifact had no effect at all. Seeing that the villain's plan was about to succeed, the Origin Artifact at work suddenly stopped, and the playback
An unintelligible voice.
The data terminal was stunned in mid-air after hearing this voice, and then translated to everyone: "This machine just said that the system has completed self-cleaning. The button that was pressed just now should be the automatic cleaning button."
Hao Ren: "..."
Otherwise, when using an unfamiliar device, you have to read the manual first! Otherwise, if you study the screen saver for a long time, you will think it is some black technology magic circle!
