Truck drivers in a post-apocalyptic world are very similar to taxi drivers in modern society. They often have radio stations or communication channels for communicating with each other. If anything happens, they can be informed immediately through the communication channels.
Knowledge exchange.
After Lan Nuo revealed the coordinates, other truck drivers soon found out what the huge building on the surface was.
"You are talking about the abandoned species gene bank. It was built a long time ago, but it is now abandoned. It was originally a backup of our civilization. It stored a large number of various species, including humans.
The fertilized eggs of species, but in the previous disaster, the fertilized eggs were damaged and most of the seeds were useless, so this place was abandoned."
A driver enthusiastically explained to him. This building is so eye-catching that many drivers must have seen it on the surface.
Lan Nuo nodded and continued to drive his heavy truck to the designated location to transport the mined minerals. These minerals will be put into the heavy element fusion reactor and are an important source of energy for the Planet Ark.
Lan Nuo silently wrote down this location while driving the truck. If she had the opportunity to apply for a set of independent travel equipment, she was going to come here to explore, and her intuition told him that this building should be the key.
…
Half a month has passed, and Lan Nuo has driven dozens of times on the ground. Lan Nuo has basically become familiar with the road conditions in this area on the ground, and is also familiar with the use of this large engineering vehicle. Before setting off, Lan Nuo
He even called Nangong and his wife.
One of these two is a demon hunter and the other is a siren. They are both races with very strong survivability. Especially the latter, placed in the ordinary human world, they are simply immortal existences. With the two of them here,
If so, it will be safer to go out.
"You mean to take us to visit the ancient buildings on the ground?" Nangong Wudi took a sip of this world's special alcoholic drink and said thoughtfully: "Do you also think the people here are too strange?"
Lan Nuo nodded: "Yes, they were too kind to us. Moreover, I worked as a feces collector some time ago and found that there were very few human feces in the sewers. This probably means that the residents living here have experienced
A very high degree of mechanical transformation, even a robot at all.
I feel that this should be related to the damage to the gene pool of their species. Perhaps it is precisely because of the loss of precious human gene inheritance that they have to give up their flesh and blood. My application for visit has been approved. I received a total of three sets.
Protective clothing can make it easier for us to move around in the ice and snow outside."
"Anyway, we have nothing to do. The work here is just because we can't take any time off. Since you want to go out and have a look, let's go together. It just so happened that when we first came here, we survived in the wild for quite some time.
, I still have some experience on how to survive in the ice and snow."
Elsa nodded and said: "Yes, he was as cold as a dog back then. If it weren't for my tenacious vitality and maintaining a layer of water shield around his body, I would have probably frozen to death.
The ability to survive in the wild is indeed quite strong.”
Nangong Wudi: “…”
Today's Elsa is no longer the lady she was when we first met. What kind of character will a creature like the Siren, which is almost immortal, develop in its long life? It is conceivable that there is no doubt that it is.
Quite a casual existence.
"Then I'll rely on the help of you two." The three of them agreed to set off together tomorrow morning. Lan Nuo drove them to the abandoned species gene bank.
…
On the vast white ice sheet, the huge tires of a heavy-duty truck weighing hundreds of tons, as tall as a person, rolled over the ice, making a loud roar, roaring towards the huge distance in the distance along the road ruins established in ancient times.
man-made buildings drive away.
It was a tall, iron-gray building. From a distance, it looked like a huge tombstone stuck on the surface of the planet, giving it a rather ominous premonition.
In front of such a majestic building, their huge heavy-duty truck also seemed extremely small. Amidst the violent bumps, Elsa and Nangong Wudi looked bad and seemed to be motion sick.
"I remember the experience of falling into a blender when I first came to this world. I feel like my whole body is about to be shaken by you." Elsa is indeed a siren. She can scare a lot of people to death just talking about this experience.
people.
"Stop complaining, we're already here. He walked around in circles looking for the door. Although this kind of building is built on the ground, it must have taken into consideration the prevention of various natural disasters. The entrances are tightly sealed. I don't know.
Can the pass in the underground shelter still open the door here after it is abandoned?"
Lan Nuo parked the car at the door, put on protective clothing, and then jumped out of the car. Although the Nangong couple could barely survive in such a harsh natural environment, after experiencing the severe beatings of the harsh natural environment, they
Still obediently wearing protective clothing, he jumped out of the car.
Lan Nuo took out the pass he carried with him and swiped it on the ancient gate. Although this place had been abandoned for a long time, surprisingly, there was still electricity. After swiping the pass on it, the system that had been dormant for a long time slowly started up.
The isolation gate slowly opened. The thick gate was half a meter thick and was completely made of unknown high-strength gold. It is conceivable that when you see this place, the defense standards must be very high.
The three people stepped into it and found that it was like a spaceship. After entering, they had to wait in a structure similar to an airtight warehouse. After the external gate was closed, they waited for a while in the two-layer gate.
, only then did the inner gate open and officially enter this long-abandoned ancient building.
This design should be able to cope with a vacuum environment. The designer may have considered that the planet would lose a lot of atmosphere during the voyage, so he chose this special design similar to a spacecraft.
Entering the internal gate, the building's internal system sensed the arrival of a visitor and started operating again. The emergency dark red light finally came on, barely illuminating the space.
What can be seen in the field of vision is a quite huge functional hall. There are roads leading to different areas in the hall. There are signboards on the ground and ceiling, indicating the different functional areas in the building.
"I didn't expect that this ancient building could still be functioning after so many years." Nangong Wudi couldn't help but sigh: "This is much more powerful than anything on earth. According to them, this thing has been preserved for less than ten thousand years. Our place
If the artifacts from 10,000 years ago have been preserved to this day, they are probably just some oracle bone inscriptions."
Nangong Wudi was lamenting the black technology of aliens, but was mercilessly interrupted by his wife: "It was on land, in the city of Kraken, Nasatorn, but it has been preserved to this day. Anyway, at least it was there before I left the seabed.
The various functions are still intact, although we don’t know how to use many of them ourselves.”
Lan Nuo remembered that in the original work, the city built by the Kraken on the bottom of the sea was actually built on the basis of a spaceship that sank to the bottom of the sea. However, when they traveled through the past, they basically lost their original
Memory and civilization are also in a state of collapse and disintegration. Even if the civilization is gradually re-established later, they cannot start their spacecraft again. At most, they can build a large shield underwater and build a
An independent city isolated from the rest of the world.
"Let's take a look... Let's go to the human gene bank here first. I asked among the drivers before and I heard that it was because the human gene bank was damaged that this gene bank was finally abandoned."
Everyone nodded and walked into the corresponding passage according to the sign above their heads. The elevator here could be used. After taking the elevator to the corresponding floor, they saw the warehouse of the human gene bank. The temperature in the warehouse was quite low. Basically,
The temperature is almost the same as the outside. This is a cold storage. The inside is stored at low temperature with liquid nitrogen. It should be human seeds.
Today, it still seems to be running automatically, and the pipeline for replenishing liquid nitrogen has not leaked yet. Interestingly, Lanno discovered by observing and reading the instructions left here that all the human seeds stored here are stored separately from sperm and egg cells.
.There is no complete fertilized egg, which inevitably makes people confused. Not only is there no fertilized egg, but there are also no embryos.
Logically speaking, at ultra-low temperatures, embryos that have split a few times are theoretically easier to preserve than sperm and egg cells. Complete cells have the ability to divide themselves, and are more secure when stored.
It should also be much easier to copy.
Such embryonic cells are more convenient to culture and replicate. They are more suitable as seeds of civilization and can also be used to prevent the inability to complete in vitro fertilization due to lack of technology when civilization is cut off.
However, it is not certain that there are no embryos here. Maybe it is just that this room only stores sperm and egg cells.
"Let's go to other rooms and have a look. It should be safe here. The two of us have also learned the writing of this world." Nangong Wudi took Elsa to other rooms. Lan Nuo swiped his card and took out a can.
Frozen cells.
Cells stored in an ultra-low temperature environment are almost in a state where time has stopped. In theory, they can be stored for a long time. Although it may be a bit exaggerated to say that there will never be any damage, there is still no problem in theory for tens of thousands of years.
After taking out a jar of frozen cells, Lan Nuo found the laboratory in this building. He carefully opened the freezing container. Although someone had told him before he came that the human seeds stored here had been damaged, he still wanted to take a look and confirm.
.
As Lanno opened the valve, a burst of white gas came out. It was liquid nitrogen used for freezing. Using a specific instrument, I measured the internal temperature and confirmed that there was indeed no problem with the temperature. It was possible to preserve sperm and egg cells for a long time.
The low temperature, then he skillfully used the professional equipment here to take out the cells stored separately in the container, put them in professional equipment to slowly thaw, and observed them under a microscope.
This process can ensure that the structure of the cells is not damaged during the thawing process. After a while, Lanno took out the cells and put them under the microscope.
During the observation process, he couldn't help but frown. The optical microscopes of aliens were not much different from those on Earth. After all, the optical principles were there, and it was difficult to make a difference.
Lan Nuo was convinced that there was nothing wrong with the steps he used to use the microscope. He observed under the microscope that these sperm and egg cells were at least not structurally damaged. They still looked like living cells, and the internal organelles were well preserved. It looked like
It doesn't look like the damaged cells described.
But there is no reason for people in this world to lie to him about this kind of thing. This means that the damage may occur at a deeper level. This requires more professional equipment.
Fortunately, here is the most advanced biological laboratory on the planet. The corresponding equipment is not difficult to find. Lan Nuo found equipment in the laboratory that can perform gene sequencing. The order of DNA cannot be determined by a microscope.
As you can see, more professional equipment is needed. Nanomachines are needed to assist in detecting it.
Lan Nuo carefully inspected the equipment here, read the instructions of the equipment, and checked the status of the equipment. This was not a microscope, and he could not guarantee that the alien equipment was easy to use. After all, nanomachines are more stupid than stupid ones.
Crude equipment is much more expensive. Without maintenance, it is easy to be damaged. Fortunately, nanomachines are also stored in ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen, so even after a long time, there is still no damage.
At this time, Nangong Wudi, who had been looking around for a while, didn't look very good. He had already found it: "We found a... um... breeding room. The situation there is... not easy to describe. You'd better go see it in person.
Look, but you have to be mentally prepared, the scenes there are not something ordinary people can bear."
Lan Nuo nodded and said: "Wait a moment, I am inspecting this equipment and will conduct genetic sequencing on sperm and egg cells in a while."
Elsa twisted her sea snake tail and crawled over, poking her husband with the tip of her tail: "Don't you think it's a little strange? How come Lan Nuo adapts so quickly? It feels like he can use everything."
"Maybe I was a scholar before I came here. Learned people are different." Nangong Wudi was born in a relatively ignorant and backward era, so he was more accepting of Lan Nuo's various incredible technical abilities. After all, no matter what
Steam engines or nuclear reactors, to Nangong Wudi, there is no difference between them and magic.
After Lannuo checked the equipment and confirmed that there was no problem in principle and that the equipment was not damaged, he injected the thawed cells and started gene sequencing.
