Steven stretched out his hand and slowly approached the light curtain. As he approached the light curtain, Steven was startled. A sudden feeling of fear filled his heart. He quickly pulled his hand back. At this time, the feeling of horror in his heart disappeared.
.
He said to Kate: "Kate! Don't get close to that light curtain! I sense it is dangerous!" Kate nodded, and then said: "What do you think this is? Steven."
Steven replied: "It's not too clear yet! It only appeared in the stone frame when I stood on the platform. If there was no one on the platform, it might have gone out. Let's try it again."
So the two of them walked off the platform one after another and came to the obsidian platform. After a few seconds, the light curtain went out, and the buzzing sound also disappeared. After a while, Kate stood on the platform first, and then
The sound rang again, and after more than ten seconds, the light curtain appeared in the stone frame again.
Steven concluded: "Then the activation condition of this light curtain is that someone stands on the platform, and it turns off when no one is around! I speculate that this light curtain is activated by some kind of energy, just like the gas next to the street.
Like street lights, does this seem to be to save energy? I think the obsidian pipes leading from the 6th floor lobby lead to this platform. They may be hidden from the rock wall, which can explain our walkway.
I can’t see those pipes.”
He continued: "The function of those two pipes should be to transport elemental power. This platform and platform may be devices that use elemental power. It's a pity that we can't take them apart to take a look!"
Kate continued: "Then this device most likely uses elemental power as energy. In order to save energy, this platform is set up so that when someone or something of a certain weight comes to it, it will automatically activate the light curtain.
The question now is, what is the use of this light curtain? Why does it light up when someone stands on the platform? Is this a device used to make something?"
Steven replied: "I think this looks like a door! Kate, look at the form, the stone door frame, the human-scale floor and obsidian platform, including the granite steps, its steps
The dimensions are all made in human scale and are facing the door frame. I have reason to speculate that this should be a door! It is a door for people to use! Of course, it is not ruled out that it may be some kind of device used to make things.
But there are no related facilities for manufacturing products in the hall, so it doesn’t look like equipment for manufacturing products.”
Kate asked doubtfully: "If this is a door, where does it lead to? It can't be that we enter from the front, pass through the light curtain, and then come to the back near the end wall? This obviously makes no sense, Shi
Tivan."
Steven replied: "That's definitely not the case, Kate, it's very simple. Let's do an experiment. You step back to the edge of the obsidian platform. I'll try it with a stone dart. Will it appear on the obsidian platform?"
Behind that light curtain!"
So Kate retreated to the obsidian platform near the steps. Steven took out a stone dart and stood on the edge of the platform. After being ready to retreat at any time, he gently threw the stone dart into the light curtain. The light curtain was only slightly
After being disturbed, more light particles flew out, but there was no other reaction. However, the stone dart did not appear behind the light screen, it completely disappeared!
Steven and Kate looked at each other in shock. Later, Steven said: "It seems that this light curtain has exceeded our knowledge and even the civilization of the entire continent, Kate! Since coming to the dark rain forest, we have seen so much
There are so many things beyond cognition, I feel like I have become a little numb to it!”
Kate nodded and said: "The unexplored area of the New World is probably much larger than what is known! This ruins are completely different from the ruins that Grant has discovered. I am not sure whether it and the ruins that have been discovered come from
One civilization.”
"Then we have to wait until those archaeologists who specialize in studying ruins come over to confirm. After all, we are not even amateurs. Do you have any other opinions about this light curtain, Kate?"
Kate thought for a while and said: "I also agree with you, Steven, this is probably a door, but it is not a door in the usual sense. It may be a door from this room to another room or corridor.
For a door that spans space, the stone dart you just threw in may pass through the light curtain and reach a very far place. This door, including the base below, uses elemental force as energy. After all, it will definitely use energy to cross space.
"
"Then let's call it a portal! It may teleport objects to a certain distance. Now we don't know where passing through it will lead. My intuition just now told me that it's very dangerous here, so we can't do it ourselves.
Experiment, let's catch an animal and try it tomorrow to see if it will be different to living things." Steven said.
The two of them had too many puzzles and confusions about this portal, but with their current knowledge, they had no solution at all. So they abandoned this platform and began to search other places in the hall, hoping to find the right person.
Portal useful discoveries.
Later, Kate held a torch and explored the stone wall on the left. The stone walls in the hall were all polished granite. The light from Kate's torch shone on the stone wall, and he immediately discovered some lines on the stone wall.
, this was very unusual, Kate immediately moved over to examine it carefully.
Steven was walking to the intersection of the wall corner and the obsidian platform on the other side of the hall. He was trying to find clues about the pipes in the corner, when he heard Kate shouting from the wall at the other end: "Steven! Come and take a look.
, there’s something on this wall!”
Steven immediately ran over and came to Kate's side. The two of them held up torches to observe the wall. The wall had some lines and polished concave-convex patterns at the height above their shoulders. After careful identification, they discovered that these
It should be a map with relief sculptures.
The height of this hall is about 10 meters from the ground to the ceiling. The map carved on the wall goes up about 2 meters from the shoulders of the two people. The length starts from 1 meter at the corner until it is close to the obsidian platform. The total width is about 8 meters.
To the left and right, some parts of the continent's zigzag coastline depicted on the map are no longer distinguishable, especially the edges of the map and those places where the depiction is relatively shallow. However, the two of them can still tell whether this is a map of the New World and whether it includes the entire New World.
The two can't tell each other apart yet.
Based on the shape of the coastline, the location of the discovered mountain ranges, basins, plains and other terrain, the two speculated that when the map was originally made, it was far from as simple as it appears now. Some of the content may not just be carved, but may also include
The colors of various paints and the composition of other materials have been included, but with the passage of time, those materials that cannot be retained for a long time have dissipated, and now only the carved parts on the granite can be seen.
