In this way, he walked along the intricate internal structure of the Les Angton Institute for a long time, and every step seemed to be stepping on the dust of history and the fog of the future.
Surrounded by walls made of heavy steel and ancient stone,
It is covered with traces of time, and every stone and iron pillar seems to tell a story of the past.
The air is filled with a moist and slightly metallic steam, which is the smell escaping from countless intricate underground pipes.
They are like the final bloodline of this sanctuary city, transporting life and energy.
In these pipelines,
The steam gurgled and flowed, making a low and rhythmic roar, like the heart of an ancient machine beating.
Occasionally, you can see some flickering dashboards and complex mechanical devices. They are the eyes and brains of this world, recording all the dynamics here and controlling the operation of the entire underground world.
The light is dim and warm,
They sprinkle down from the domes high up in Suwen or from the gaps in the walls, forming mottled light and shadow, adding a bit of mystery and romance to this underground world.
here,
Time seems to slow down, and every second is filled with the weight of history.
However, just when he thought there would be another closed door or a heavy wall ahead.
An extremely huge patio suddenly appeared under the ground in front of him without any warning, as shocking as a black hole in the universe.
In this extremely huge patio,
The infinite energy ring slowly transitions from dark green to dark blue, and then gradually merges into deep purple.
They keep leaping up in this vast space, shining with the light of technology and mystery.
even,
That changing rhythm,
It's like the passionate and profound melody of Ludwig van Beethoven.
But at this moment,
The handsome scholar's gaze was not attracted by the edge of the patio that seemed to touch the sky, but was firmly fixed on its center.
There,
A blurry picture of the space station is floating quietly, like a phantom in a dream, but it is so real and within reach.
After all it is:
[Projection ruins generating device]
It is different from the projection relics of the [Unpurified Zone 13] created by the electromagnetic wind naturally formed by the Carrington Solar Storm over the Bornholm Islands.
What is shown here may be the true technological pinnacle of the [Masquerade] organization.
at this very moment,
As Su Wen calmly touched the barrier with endless electromagnetic ripples, he seemed to have suddenly crossed some kind of boundary between time and space and touched the truly vast starry sky.
It was an indescribable and wordless breath,
Just like all his previous knowledge about the universe was overturned at this moment,
because,
This is extremely unlikely to happen:
Inside the closed underground research institute, he could actually feel the call from a distant galaxy.
As for this phenomenon, Su Wen, a physicist, only had a vague idea swirling in his mind:
The Yenching Research Institute has deeply explored the mystery of the thick fog of the Lost Sea, but how could the beta technology that originally only existed in the laboratory be applied to the projection remains of the "Masquerade"?
"Someone leaked such secret and confidential information to ruin scholars."
at the same time,
Jiang Menghan, who had once again stood on the surface of the Wall of Hercules, on top of the huge mechanical ruins, was quietly staring at the boundless sky.
In her eyes:
The starry sky covered everything like mist, but through the soft and clear radiance of the "Artemis Lineage", the girl seemed to have passed through layers of fog and saw a more distant and vast starry sky.
so,
Regarding Su Wen’s regret and confusion,
The iceberg girl just whispered what she saw:
"but,
Mr. Su, this is indeed no longer the earth we are familiar with.
The masquerade has indeed succeeded."
That's right,
She came here just to confirm a truth:
“The seemingly real ‘Wall of Heracles’ we are currently on.
actually,
Still not the truth.”
Yes, that's why even when Su Wen came to the energy patio, he still didn't see any members of the masquerade.
Because this world does not have only two layers
But three floors!
The system prompt finally appeared again:
[Congratulations, great chief player]
[You have completed part of the hidden side mission ‘Three Names of the Silver City’]
[Task description:
The children sang softly,
The children sang its first name,
Singing, 'Looking out at the falling stars'.
The machine's guardians echo its second name in the program,
Echoes, 'The Ruins of Twilight'.
And scholars who are forever immersed in history mourn its last name,
In memory of, ‘The broken star ring of Aquarius]
[You have received a reward, news from the great craftsman Alpharetas of the City of Silver]
At this moment, Su Wen finally confirmed an extremely science fiction reality:
“Looks like I started out at Permanent Magnet Lanna Bodu Academy No. 2.
In other words, it is completely correct for the current handover city to obtain information about the Wall of Hercules:
【Masquerade】
They are now actually on top of the Broken Star Ring in the Silver City of the Fifth Era.
No wonder Les Angton is so relieved."
in other words,
As far as Su Wen's current plan is concerned, it is actually easier to implement.
But if this is the case, then his idea of taking away the masquerade directly becomes almost impossible.
If this is the case, then he can only have friendly exchanges with this group of people after he and Angelia complete the follow-up game of [Non-Purified Zone No. 13] and experience the complete history of the third era of the Silver Star Ring.
'Yes.
so,
At this moment, Su Wen decided to carry out further operations:
"Masquerade, from my standpoint, I may not be able to question or deny your hopes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But I will never set my sights on the past.
Human beings need civilization,
And civilization,
It needs to be woven with countless futures.”
The handsome scholar just looked at the huge aperture glowing with blue light. He stretched out his right hand with great ease, and then suddenly opened an endless book glowing with light gold:
[Legendary characteristics:
Macrochronology]
At this moment, he only said one sentence slowly:
"If humans are lonely, then we may be some kind of unique existence in the vast universe.
But if so,
What does our existence mean?
Miss Jiang, you must understand,
Because that’s the paradox that Enrico Fermi once proposed.”
At this moment, Jiang Menghan was just standing quietly on the ruins.
She stretched out her hand and touched the boundless starry sky that could never truly be seen in the underground shelter:
"so,
Are [they] just above the rings of Aquarius?”
"Maybe."
In this way, Su Wen finally wrote the second sentence on the page of the macro chronicle:
【Third Age,
When the silver ring shattered, the huge light completely blocked all the overflow of energy.
It isolates the silver ring from the glimmer of the outside world,
Also completely blocked:
The projection of all the ruins of the past.】
at the same time,
As Su Wen wrote this sentence,
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Department of Astronomy at Harvard University, the International Space Station (ISS), the European Southern Observatory (ESO), and so on, all astronomical institutions have recorded a piece of news that is unbelievable to everyone:
