"If nothing else, this move should have a long forward swing time, so it is relatively inconvenient to deal with this kind of activity, and it is very effective for huge combat robots, but it is not suitable for relatively agile humans like us.
That's another matter, not to mention that the ruins of the ancient civilization behind us have been abandoned for many years, and the things inside should have been almost broken long ago, so we don't need to worry about these problems."
Elizabeth said with certainty: "I have been detecting the situation in the ruins for the past two days. I found that although there is very weak life activity in the ruins, it seems to be some plants or small animals, and these creatures are even in other places.
The underground also exists, but I still discovered a very strange point - there is something wrong with the gravity in the big pit! I can clearly feel that my body is lighter."
As an exquisitely crafted golem, Elizabeth has a built-in gyroscope and other devices, so Elizabeth can easily detect the abnormal gravity in the pit.
"gravity?"
Norton tried to jump for a moment, then nodded and said: "If you didn't say it, I really wouldn't have noticed it, but now I also feel that my staying time in the air is obviously longer, and I can jump higher. You know
When I was in college, I was the first person outside of athletes to jump in high jump, so I was still sensitive to heights."
Liu Xing also tried to jump, and found that he felt a little relaxed when he jumped up, and he easily jumped over Yin En's shoulders.
"Hey, Mr. Liu Xing, you are also a talented person who can practice high jump. When you get back to school, I will introduce you to a physical education teacher." Norton said with a smile.
But before Liu Xing could say anything, the student controlling the drone suddenly said, "Mr. Norton, come and take a look. There seems to be a living person in the cockpit."
Hearing this, Norton immediately walked over and said, "Huh? It seems to be really alive, but its condition looks very bad. It may not even have the strength to move."
Liu Xing also leaned over and took a look at the drone controller under the student's hand. The small screen above showed an "astronaut" leaning on the chair, with a slight rise and fall in his chest.
"The alert team is ready for combat and defense. The medical team is going to take down the sealed operation room and prepare for rescue. We still have to try to save this Dakworm." Norton made a decision immediately.
The so-called airtight operation room, to put it bluntly, is a more airtight square tent, but this tent is completely transparent, so people standing outside can easily see what is going on inside. Of course, in this airtight operation room
A simple operating table and some surgical instruments have also been prepared in the room.
At this time, several members of the security team, who were fully armed and dressed like astronauts, entered the cockpit of the combat robot, lifted out the Dak bug man who still had signs of life, and handed it over to the already prepared man.
Medical team.
After opening the "space suit" of this Dak-worm, Liu Xing and others knew why this Dak-worm could live for so long, because the head features of this Dak-worm were a bit strange and looked very strange.
It's like an earth-boring devil insect, which means it seems to have only one mouth on its face, and its teeth are still in the shape of a serrated circle.
"This must be a tardigrade, right? No wonder it can survive to this day."
Yin En looked at the Dachshund and said: "I heard that tardigrades are the only ordinary creatures in the world that may have reached the realm of immortality, because they can reduce their metabolism to a level infinitely close to zero.
situation, and can survive no matter what environment it is in, so..."
"So Yin En, please don't watch so many videos from marketing accounts in the future. This tardigrade is indeed a very tenacious creature, but the points you mentioned are actually the characteristics of several tardigrades.
, of course, tardigrades are also tardigrades; those marketing accounts that are either stupid or bad, in order to create gimmicks, treat tardigrades as the entire phylum of tardigrades." Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said: "But this is a tardigrade.
If the Insect Killer can live to this day, I have to say it’s amazing, it can live like this for thousands of years.”
At this time, Norton on the side said: "Some people have thought that the current insects may be related to the Dak bugs, because according to the various existing data on the Dak bug people, it can be found that the Dak bug people in various states can correspond to them.
Insects, and their characteristics and abilities are very similar, so we have reason to suspect that today’s insects are degenerated and miniaturized versions of Dak.”
"This is a bit outrageous. In my impression, the mythical creatures and the old rulers should not have the ability to degenerate creatures. Wait, it seems that the snake god Igg can return the snake people to their original state, and Dak
The insect people also live in the sphere of influence of the snake god Ige, so it is really possible that the snake god Ige degenerated the Dak insect people into insects?" Liu Xing said seriously.
As a result, Norton shook his head and said: "Although it is possible, the possibility is less than 10%, because the reason why the snake god Ige can return some snake people to their original state is because of these snakes.
Man was originally transformed into his current state by the intervention of the snake god Ige, so we can simply understand that today's snake people are actually the original snake people who have been blessed by the snake god Ige. Therefore, the snake god Ige
Ge only needs to withdraw his blessing to make those snake people return to their original state; while the Dak bugs and today's insects are similar, the difference between the two is still very obvious, so I think the Dak bugs are similar to today's insects.
People can turn into insects, but insects cannot evolve into Dak bugs, you should understand what I mean."
"I understand, Mr. Norton, what you mean is that the Dakworms have been transformed into another species - insects by some powerful force. So the insects seem to be similar to the Dakworms, but there are differences between the two.
Essentially different." Liu Xing nodded.
Norton smiled and continued: "Yes, even though some animals look very similar and have similar living environments and other conditions, from a biological point of view, these animals are far apart...
"
Before Norton finished speaking, the Dak bug man in the closed operating room suddenly sat up with a surprised look on his face... Well, this thing only has one mouth on its face, so Liu Xing didn't know it either.
What is his expression now, but it seems that he is very confused about what the creature around him is, as he seems to have never seen it before.
At this time, the security team remaining in the closed operation room did not think much, and directly picked up their weapons and pointed them at the Dakworm. Although this Dakworm had never seen human weapons, it could also pass through
It was judged by the actions of these people that they were warning themselves with weapons.
Therefore, this Dak bug man remained motionless and only opened his mouth to say something. However, because the sound insulation effect of the closed operating room was so good, Liu Xing and others outside heard nothing.
At this time, Elizabeth walked into the closed operation room, and then communicated with the Dakworm smoothly.
"To be honest, I still envy dolls like Elizabeth, because they also have self-awareness, and their intelligence is not inferior to that of us humans. The most important thing is that their memory is large enough and they can remember a lot of things, such as you
It can now be used by Elizabeth on this day five years ago. What was the menu of the second cafeteria of Miskatonic University? Therefore, Elizabeth has also mastered the languages of many mythical creatures, including the lingua franca of the Dakworm.
"
Norton touched the back of his head and said a little awkwardly: "In fact, I also considered whether to learn the common language of the Dak bug people at that time, because during that time, the Miskatonic University expedition team was like
The Dak Insects are at a disadvantage. Basically, we can encounter ruins related to the Dak Insects every time. However, if we think about it carefully now, since the Dak Insects have been dominant in ancient times, we are here.
It must be easy to find ruins related to the Dak bug people in the area; in the end, I gave up in the end, because the common language of the Dak bug people is simply a ventriloquist award. The same sound can have more than ten kinds of sounds due to different tones.
mean."
Hearing what Norton said, Liu Xing knew how difficult it was to learn the lingua franca of the Dak bug people.
At this moment, Elizabeth, who had finished communicating with the Darkworm, walked out.
"As we know, this Dak bug man indeed came with the army to attack the ancient civilization in front of us, and this ruins is the capital of this ancient civilization. It was also considered a powerful level at that time, so the Dak bug man
The humans just sent out a war machine, but as a result, the war machine died before it could take off, and was directly destroyed by a laser; and in addition to the fact that these Dakworms died due to blood coagulation, in fact, many parts of the war machine
They were all scrapped, so this war machine was left here."
Elizabeth looked at the ruins in the distance and continued: "According to what this Dak bug man knows, this ancient civilization followed a technological route, so there may be a lot of high-tech products here, and although the Dak bug man
They also attach great importance to technology, but they focus on weapons. As for other technological products, they will only take them away if they think they are useful to them. Therefore, the Dark insect man thinks that if we can open this ruins,
You should be able to harvest a lot of good things.”
"Then does it know of any traps in this ancient civilization? Or is there anything worthy of our attention?" Liu Xing asked quickly.
Elizabeth nodded and said seriously: "The Dak bug man mentioned that this ancient civilization is called the Delta people, which are humanoid creatures similar to birds, so they originally lived in a forest, and then in the big
They built wooden houses on the branches of trees to live, but this also gave the Delta people similar abilities to druids, that is, they could communicate with some animals and plants, and they could also order these animals and plants to do things; so after this, the Delta people
Although they left the forest and built their own cities on the plains, they did not forget to move those animals and plants into the cities."
"So we must be careful about the animals and plants in this ruins, because these animals and plants are probably still executing the orders of the Delta people and will attack strangers who enter the city, so I suggest that we enter the ruins later.
When traveling, it is necessary to carry a flamethrower to prepare for emergencies; in addition, the Delta people are originally designed to fly due to their own structure, but after living in the city, it is difficult for the Delta people to fly around casually, so the Delta people
A gravity control tower was built in the center of the city, which can change the gravity so that the Delta people can live better on the ground, so we must destroy the gravity control tower as soon as possible."
"Why is this? Could it be that the gravity control tower might be harmful to us?" Zhang Jingxu asked curiously.
"That's because the Delta people's gravity control tower technology is not yet perfect, so this gravity control tower needs to be constantly calibrated to ensure that the gravity in the capital is maintained in a range suitable for the Delta people's activities. If it is not calibrated
If calibrated, the gravity control tower will continuously change the gravity, and then it will be possible for us to get the feeling of being an astronaut on Earth."
Having said this, Elizabeth looked at Norton and asked: "So how should we deal with this Dakworm? I just asked about the ability of this Dakworm, which is that it can maintain vital signs in various extreme environments, so it is similar to
It is suitable to join our Miskatonic University, because other expedition teams should hire it as a scout in the future, but the more important point is that this Dakworm already knows that its race has become history, so it is also very willing
join us."
Norton thought for a while, then nodded and said: "In that case, when we arrange for a group of people to return to Arkham City first, let this Dakworm go back together, and then let the old principal decide whether it can
Cannot join Miskatonic University; but before that, let it see if there is any possibility of repairing this war machine. If so, arrange for manpower to take this war machine back. Of course, before that,
You have to be prepared for a fight with that tribal alliance."
Elizabeth nodded, and then entered the sealed operation room again to communicate with the Dakworm.
"It seems that the excavation value of this ruins is higher than we imagined, but there are also many potential threats."
Norton touched his chin and thought for a while before continuing: "It seems that we need to prepare more protective clothing, as well as some agents that inhibit the activities of animals and plants... If possible, I think we need to do this after opening this ruins.
