Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight seventeen kilograms of civilization
Hao Ren knew that these ancient dead souls definitely didn't come to him for chatting, and as the prosecutor, he also had the obligation to properly deal with the relics of this extinct civilization, so he proactively asked: "How can I help?"
"Stranger, we have no other choice but to turn to any traveler who passes by from now on," the Tana people's aggregation of dead souls made a buzzing sound, "there are storage warehouses of our civilization in the three shelters.
All our culture, history, technology and knowledge are stored there. Please take them away and bring them to a place where someone can understand and read them. In our lifetime, the Tana people have not been able to explore the secrets between the stars, and now
Our civilization is extinct. We hope that at least some people can know that there was a civilization called 'Tana', even if it only leaves a symbol. This is the last thing the Tana people's consciousness aggregate before losing themselves.
A wish that this memory bank hopes will come true."
"I have read from my work manual that 80% of extinct civilizations will have similar wishes before they die. 'Leaving one's own message' is a certain instinct of intelligent creatures," Hao Ren sighed.
, "Okay, tell me the location of the repository, Alamanda's repository."
Phantom informed Hao Ren of all the situation in the Allamanda storage warehouse, and then expressed his gratitude to Hao Ren. But just before the spiritual connection was about to be interrupted, Hao Ren suddenly remembered that he still had some problems. This problem had been bothering him all day, and now it seemed that
Finally found the understanding 6 long 6 style 6 literature 6 science, ww⊥≮.
"I found two strange devices, which are two keys." Hao Ren tried his best to describe the two key stones he got from Igor and August. "...That's it, a triangle.
. A round one. Why do they have an effect called the 'Seven-day Curse'? Why can't you get rid of them after being entangled? Why does the key return to the person within seven days, or why does the person leave the key for more than seven days?
Will he die a violent death?"
The gathering of dead souls thought for a while: "You should be talking about the 'resonance stones' we use to control the devices around us. The triangular ones are the 'sound markers', and the round ones are called 'echo stones'. We don't know how to cause death."
What went wrong in the accident, but the fact that the 'Echo Stone' will inevitably return within seven days is actually normal..."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment: "Huh? It's normal to have such a scary function? What's the use of it?"
"This is an anti-theft feature."
Hao Ren: "..."
"Newer models of resonance stones have an identity binding system. When they are away from the owner for a certain distance and after a certain period of time, the return-to-home function will be activated. You can cancel this return-to-home setting by entering the device serial number and password. Of course, you can also set it
Put it under a strong magnetic field or other energy field, but this will cause the memory to be cleared. Of course, you probably won’t be able to use that memory, which is usually used to record music and photos.”
Hao Ren: "..."
The curse that had troubled old August for three centuries turned out to be a fucking anti-theft system! Hao Ren decided that he would never tell the unlucky old man the truth for the rest of his life. The anal fissure was miserable enough, so he should give the old man some mental comfort.
Bar.
"Do you have any more questions?" The aggregation of dead souls was very patient. However, Hao Ren really didn't want to say anything at this time: "No, thank you... I'll go back and practice the Three Views."
The chaotic spiritual world faded away like a tide, and Hao Ren returned to the real world in a daze. He heard the data terminal shouting that an ancient memory that could be read was found, although he felt that he was immersed in the memory of the Tana people.
Hours passed, but only a few seconds seemed to pass in the real world.
Lily's six senses were sharp. At this time, she was the first to feel that something was wrong with Hao Ren. Her ears twitched and she turned her head warily: "Landlord? What's wrong with you?"
"I saw the memory bank left by the Tana people," Hao Ren rubbed his forehead. The mental fatigue quickly faded, "Their memory fragments are still floating on this planet, and they have turned into some kind of intangible and insubstantial thing.
Thing...hiss, this is really dizzying."
"Did you see the memories of other creatures again?" Vivian looked at Hao Ren in surprise. "This time it's from the Tana people? What did they say?"
"We need to return to Allamanda and take something from the city hall," Hao Ren nodded. "But we can talk about this later. What did you find?"
"A memory, more than 10,000 years old," Nangong Wuyue said. He pulled out a pentagonal crystal plate from some kind of equipment nearby. "Zhong Bian said that this one can still be read, but it is seriously damaged, so we need to use a giant turtle."
The equipment on the Yantai can only be repaired."
The data terminal let out a sharp whistle: "It's Zhongzhuan! Why don't you all follow that funny guy's lead!"
Everyone looked at the flying coaster in silence. The latter was stunned for a moment before he realized: "... Damn it, what did I just say..."
"Let's go, I promised to help take that thing away," Hao Ren shook his head and walked out first, "Just think of it as thanking them for the gold, although gold nuggets are not much different from bricks here.
"
A group of people left this ancient observatory. Vivian looked in the direction of the golden waste city of Allamanda and was a little worried: "The angry spirits near the city may still be there. Will we run into trouble?"
"The angry spirits will not trouble us anymore," Hao Ren shook his head. He looked at the sky in the distance. After concentrating, his vision began to change. Countless floating colors and lines of magnetic fields gradually appeared in the originally empty and monotonous sky.
Soul fragments, memories, and the ripples left by angry spirits across the sky are another world that can only be seen from the perspective of the spirit body. That ancient memory brought him unexpected gains. Soul vision may be able to
It will be of great use in the future, "I am now half a member of 'them', but I still have the ability to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."
Guided by ancient memories, Hao Ren led everyone back to Allamanda. He could feel the angry spirits lingering around him, and even without turning on his soul vision, he could feel countless wonderful energies watching him from the sky.
Those Tana people who have lost their self-awareness seem to still retain some instincts of intelligent creatures. They hover blindly over the city, staring at a group of strangers entering their city, and suppressed them under some inexplicable sense of identification.
Offensive instinct.
There is an almost completely collapsed dome building in the city center, which was the city hall of Alamanda in the past. Hao Ren released several autonomous machines from his personal space and asked them to clean up the metal debris accumulated on the ground, and then cut open the four floors.
The thick armor plate revealed a small secret room buried deep underground and wrapped in layers of super-strength alloy.
What was finally taken out was a metal cylinder more than half a meter high and shining with a lavender light. This was the storage warehouse.
All the achievements of the entire civilization, all the information about the Tana people, including all the information that can be collected from the time they carved stone records to the present, are here. Their writing, art, history, philosophy, and thinking about the universe and themselves are all condensed.
Together, there are countless film and television materials and precious painting copies, as well as formulas and understandings of the world summarized by countless generations of scientists, as well as the last words recorded by the last group of Tana people to be handed over to future generations.
The entire civilization is compressed here.
Sixty-two centimeters and seventeen kilograms in weight.
"That's all." Hao Ren sighed and solemnly put the cylinder into a metal safe. This metal safe is a special container equipped by the prosecutor, specially used to store collections of special significance, such as
The remains of a certain civilization.
He closed the lid of the safe and typed a line of notes on it: Tanagus civilization, all data, yet to be encoded.
"I wonder if one day the remaining data after the extinction of mankind can fill this box." Hao Ren muttered.
"Oh, it depends on when it became extinct. If humans can't develop better storage technology by then, maybe the volume of this data will be very huge, so big that it can fill the entire cabin. You will have to use a translation device to compress it.
It will only take a while," the data terminal replied, "Don't lament, this is the end of most civilizations. No matter how glorious it was, how many civilizational achievements there were, how many artists, philosophers, leaders, heroes, dictators, politicians...
All these things are just a few bytes in the end. Many things will disappear one day. To the censor, it makes no difference whether these civilizations were destroyed by sudden disasters or slow civilization depletion, just like patients dying in the hospital bed.
Same."
Hao Ren nodded: "Okay, let's go." (To be continued...)
