Hao Ren drove his official car, which could do almost anything except transform into Optimus Prime, speeding around this desolate and strange planet. He looked at the huge, old, outdated and depressing buildings.
The steel relics were flying past the car window.￠￡They were now passing by a huge engine that was in an extinguished state. This engine felt like a strange-looking extinct volcano, with peaks rising and falling.
Thick pipes and alloy frames can be seen on the thick shape and dark shell, and some old and mottled traces are distributed on the high "peaks", which were probably produced when the planet's atmosphere was still abundant.
rust.
Lily kept holding the car window open and looking out. She sighed quietly: "The machine is still alive, but the people are dead...Who created these things?"
"No signs of advanced life have been scanned so far. There are only some microorganisms barely surviving in the extreme environment deep underground." Hao Ren lowered his head and glanced at the car's control panel. The place where things like the fuel gauge mileage should be displayed was actually floating.
Looking at a virtual screen, what is on it is a complex radar chart and a communication interface with the Giant Turtle Yantai. "The humans on this planet may have died... Of course, they may also be hiding in some shelters.
And we haven’t found it yet.”
"The second possibility is not high," Vivian shook her head, "Intuition."
"You said these engines run automatically?" Hao Ren turned to glance at Vivian.
Vivian still shook her head: "I don't understand the engine, I just feel that this place is surrounded by an atmosphere of death... Vampires are very sensitive to this atmosphere."
The group of people did not linger near the stalled engine. They just made a slight circle and left a few images before continuing on their way. The huge propeller, as majestic as a mountain, was soon left behind. The group continued to move forward. After passing more
After the huge pipes and steel ruins, they came across some other scattered structures. They looked like guard towers and bunkers - things that were reminiscent of military bases. It seemed that before those huge engines were completed, the
There was also a war on the planet.
It’s just that all traces have been covered by thick ice and snow. Only these sporadic ruins in the highlands can still expose the ice. Unless you stop and conduct detailed scanning, it is difficult to know what is hidden under the thick solid carbon dioxide and ordinary ice.
What on earth is it.
As the car continued to move forward, the surroundings began to get warmer. Three blue-white flames rushing into the sky could be clearly seen near the horizon, as well as a giant engine beneath the flames. The thermal radiation of the plasma flames dissipated the cold within a certain range, allowing carbon dioxide to
Returning to the atmosphere, it even melted ordinary ice and snow within a certain range, and normal soil and stones could finally be seen on the road.
From time to time, there was a crackling sound outside the car window. It was the sound of strong wind blowing sand and dust hitting the car shell: the operation of the giant engine caused nearby dry ice and other substances to return to the atmosphere, and these heated and expanded gases rose into the air and spread far away.
After being exposed, it cooled into ice shavings, and was rolled back to the engine in the lower atmosphere. So the sublimation-expansion-falling-cooling cycle started over and over again, whipping up a never-ending edge wind, and the engine area became the only place on the planet.
Some places have atmospheric atmosphere.
Those engines are so huge that they even produce phenomena like natural weather during operation. However, the scope of these phenomena is quite limited. There is a "wind ring" around each engine. Beyond this annular wind belt
After that, the front became lifeless again.
After continuing for a while, Hao Ren and the others unexpectedly discovered the ruins of the city.
The city was built on high ground, and because it was close to a running engine, the heat of the plasma flames melted the nearby ice and snow, so the city was not covered in white. Hao Ren drove into the city at the request of the Nangong brothers and sisters.
Relics. You can see orderly high-rise buildings everywhere here. Although the style is very different from that on earth, you can still feel from the exquisite planning and technological building design that there once was a civilization with strong technological strength.
.
And unlike those dark engines, there used to be beautiful colors in the city - there were detailed decorations on the exterior walls of the buildings, and colorful patterns like advertising paintings could be seen on the streets. Rooftops, squares, roads... all of these
The place was not rigid. Hao Ren drove past a twin building. He saw that the two buildings were shaped like a pair of symmetrically growing plant buds, and the buildings were connected by a slender and elegant arc-shaped overpass.
Buildings of this size can be seen everywhere in the city ruins, with various styles, some are elegant, some are as rough as those huge engines, and some even cannot be seen as being used for housing or simply for decoration.
Lily looked at those ancient buildings with her mouth open, imagining that there was a sunny day, and this alien city welcomed the busy day brightly. The buildings were covered with brilliance, and there were tranquil and idle people wandering on the roads.
There may be agile civilian aircraft flying between the crowds and buildings... However, these imaginations receded like a tide, and her eyes were still lifeless.
Those empty buildings stood lifelessly in the darkness, facing the distant stars silently, welcoming uninvited guests with rigid and cold faces.
In the background of the urban buildings, the plasma beam that penetrates the sky and the earth divides the entire night sky into two.
"There is no life response," Hao Ren looked at the radar on the car, "and the city has been abandoned for a long time, I guess at least 10,000 years."
Hao Ren's statement is not random speculation. He now has more or less knowledge and judgment in this area. He feels that this city should be a product before the engines were completed, because once those engines are started, the planet will deorbit and enter
Space, and the natives of this planet obviously do not have the ability to maintain heating of their entire atmosphere without leaving the sun - so after building the engine, they must abandon the cities on the surface and move to underground shelters or hibernation facilities.
And if the engine had not started 10,000 years ago, then everything would be simpler: the residents of the city must have died in the disaster that destroyed the world.
Vivian asked softly: "Why do you think they want to transform their planet into this?"
"Obviously to escape," Hao Ren looked at the huge plasma flames in the distance, "And I guess it's probably the eldest son... or it's the disaster caused by those brain monsters. Apart from annihilation, what else can a race do?
How about pushing your own home planet into wandering?"
Lily scratched the back of Hao Ren's seat, rolled her eyes and thought for a while, then shook her head: "Obviously there was something wrong with their escape."
Vivian was very surprised by this husky's occasional flash of inspiration: "How do you know?"
"Because this planet only set off a hundred years ago," Lily's ears twitched, "The angry spirit took Nangong and his wife away a hundred years ago and sent them to this planet. At that time, the starry sky in its memory was still there.
What we saw near the pile of solar embers earlier shows that this planet was still in its own solar system a hundred years ago. The annihilation disaster of this universe basically happened ten thousand years ago... so this planet's escape plan
It obviously failed. You really didn’t expect this?"
Viviante said sincerely: "I just didn't expect you to think of this."
"I'm not stupid." Lily rolled her eyes, lay down on the seat and ignored the bat.
Hao Ren smiled at the daily quarrel between the two enemies: "Lily is right. Since this planet wants to escape, it should have set off ten thousand years ago. So there must have been something wrong with it to stay in the primitive solar system.
It took ten thousand years, and it was not until Nangong and his wife were brought here that it suddenly started... The problem probably started a hundred years ago."
The team wandered around the city for a while, but finally came out disappointed. There were no complex life reactions here, and there were no traces of short-term human life. Although the entire city was shrouded in a relatively warm environment and liquid water and similar materials could be found.
The basic plant of moss, but it seems that the parents of the Nangong siblings did not live here.
However, the mood of Nangong brother and sister is still slightly cheered up: the environment in this city is obviously enough for a siren and a demon hunter to survive. Although it is not comfortable, it is possible to survive by hand. And something like this "appropriate"
There is more than one "inhabited" area, and each engine that is spitting out flames may have survival conditions. Since there are none in this city, they can continue to look for them.
Until the entire planet is searched.
