Still far away, Yincheng saw a heavy-duty bucket-wheel excavator rising from the excavation field in the center of the grassland.

The overall style of this special excavation equipment designed at the end of the Zansbol Empire retains a strong post-imperial style, and the design prototype can be traced back to the period of earth civilization.

It is over 700 meters long, 119 meters high, powered by twelve fission engines, and weighs over 113,000 tons.

This behemoth is designed with a total of seven cockpits. Every time it is started, more than 30 professionally trained pilots are required to control it. Hundreds of drones must be arranged around it to provide data feedback to guide its progress.

However, usually the Dixun 2000 heavy-duty bucket wheel excavator does not travel as a whole, and is often reassembled at the excavation site when it is needed.

It consumes 36,000 gallons of pyrolysis fuel per hour, which can allow a King Crab-class heavy tank to operate at full load for a year!

Of course, this mechanical behemoth eats a lot and works very hard.

With the help of 3900 sets of bucket wheel excavation shovels, the Dixun 2000 model operating at full power can mine 20,000 tons of minerals in one hour, achieving an excavation space of more than 10,000 cubic meters. It is a veritable excavation powerhouse!

Yincheng usually likes machinery very much. He believes that only machinery is a man's romance.

So when he reached the edge of the excavation site, he first went to take a look at the style of the Dixun 2ooo model.

However, at this time, the excavation work around the ancient ruins has been basically completed, and the work on the Dixun 2ooo type will also come to an end. This startup is purely to clean up the remaining mineral waste around the ruins. But Yincheng was still full of joy, and he said to his deputy

: “When the first-generation King-type combat mecha was designed, it had such a large build, but because it was too big, it could easily become an activation target on the battlefield, so the mechas designed later were significantly smaller.

"

The adjutant smiled and said: "I have learned a lot, but in terms of majesty, the original king-type mecha is definitely still domineering!"

"Haha, that's right. It's a pity that I was still in school, so I could only take a look."

"That's such a pity."

As they were talking, an aircraft took off from the bottom of the excavation site and hovered in front of Yincheng and others.

Yincheng knew who was coming without looking, but he didn't smile at all. He said to the adjutant: "Go down and don't get too close to these arbiters, so as not to get into trouble."

"Oh, I see."

Yincheng tidied his clothes and waited for the aircraft to land.

After a while, an officer came out warmly and said, "Welcome, welcome, everyone!"

Yincheng laughed in his heart, and without even opening his eyes to look at the officer, he said directly: "I heard that the operation will start in three days. How about, everyone is here?"

The officer was a little embarrassed when he saw Yincheng's indifferent face. He retracted his hand and said: "Well... Actually, we are not that anxious. We have come all the way, so why not just stay here at the base. I'll take care of them in the evening."

Then let’s talk about work, okay?”

This official saying...is really the same thing.

Yincheng hates people with this kind of face the most, but after all, the other person's rank is the same as his, so it's not good to lose the other person's face.

So he said: "That's fine, but there's no need to take a shower. We're here to perform a mission, not a vacation. What's more, this is a sensitive period. It's not convenient for you to do this, right?"

The officer rubbed his hands with a smile and said: "Well, let's do this...Major, I will arrange for my people to take you down there for a while. You can get a general idea. If you are tired, someone will arrange for you and you."

The rest of the expedition team will go back to the base to rest. As for the rest of the expedition team... I will notify you when they arrive, what do you think?"

This string of words "you" really made Yincheng look at this officer with admiration. He didn't feel like saying anything more, so he simply said: "Thank you!" and then followed the officer onto the aircraft.

When he arrived at the excavation site and saw the entrance to the ruins, Yincheng realized that the ruins seen from above were just a gate, and the real ruins were still buried deep underground.

Moreover, most of the staff are working inside the ruins, so when you look from the outside, you can hardly see a few people.

The officer took Yincheng and the others to the entrance of the ruins and then left, leaving a girl responsible for acting as a "tour guide" for Yincheng and the others.

After following the girl into the ruins, Yincheng couldn't help but marvel at the scene inside the ancient ruins.

The splendid ancient ruins are like a palace of gods. Not only does the overall design style highlight a large, tall! The human image outlined by various subtle lines also forms a sharp contrast with the overall palace.

Those scrolls that resemble the skirts of rooms start from the gate and extend to all parts of the palace, but without exception, they are all on the lowest floor of the palace.

Even if Yincheng doesn't understand art, you can still feel the humble mentality of the original ruins architects towards the status disparity between humans and gods from this design style.

After looking at it for a while, the girl smiled, snapped her fingers, and said, "Major, can we start?"

Yin Cheng came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed. He nodded and said, "Okay."

"Well, first, let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Yurong. You can call me Xiaoyu or Yurong." Bai Yurong has a cheerful personality and a pleasant and melodious voice. She really makes a good impression on people. After a pause, she

He added: "I am a researcher of ancient history.

I only joined the expedition team three months ago, but I can be regarded as an "old man" in the expedition team. Therefore, in the next period of time, if you have any questions or needs during the visit, you can ask me, but there is one thing.

What I need to make clear to you is..."

Bai Yurong became serious and said: "When this ruins was first opened, the interior was filled with a special and harmful gas. Although this gas has been exhausted, after sampling and testing, we found that the interior of the ruins was

There are still a large number of radioactive elements harmful to the human body, and the current investigation progress of the ruins is limited. Many areas are prohibited from entering due to the lack of reliable monitoring data. Therefore, I hope you can manage your curiosity.

Never try to go to restricted areas or unexplored areas alone, okay?"

There is no need for Yincheng to worry about this. The few people he brought are his confidants. Without his orders, these people would not even say a word.

"Okay, thank you Miss Bai for reminding me."

"Xiaoyu! Major, although you are twenty years older than me, I still want you to call me Xiaoyu. It sounds friendly, okay?" Bai Yurong had a pair of sweet dimples on her pink face when she smiled.

Yincheng may have really been in the army for a long time, but he was unconsciously attracted to this girl. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Okay, Xiaoyu, but from now on you will also be a major, so I will call you a major." I'm fine in Yincheng."

Xiaoyu was stunned, and so was the adjutant.

Only then did Yincheng feel that he had said the wrong thing.

However, Xiaoyu reacted quickly. She covered her mouth and said with a smile: "How dare I call you by your name? I'd better call you Brother Yin or Uncle Yin."

"Hmm... Brother Yin is better, uncle... it sounds weird." Yin Cheng said and looked at the adjutant: "Am I that young?"

The adjutant's poker face showed that he didn't want to talk to him.

Yincheng was annoyed but didn't feel anything about it. He smiled and said: "So, where do we start?"

Bai Yurong took out a crystal plate and took a look at it, then smiled and said, "Shall we start from area a first?"

"Area A?"

"Well, our exploration of the ruins has now completed the preliminary stage, and we have divided the explored area into five areas, a, B, and c. Area a is the first area we started exploring, and it is also the area where our expedition team has achieved the most results." Bai Yu Rong said as he walked to the left.

As Yincheng and others followed, they were also looking at the people and objects around them.

There is a very spacious open space near the gate, but there are many traces of objects being dragged on the ground. It seems that there must have been a lot of equipment piled here at first, and it was just cleaned recently.

After the cleanup was completed, an open space with a radius of about thirty meters was formed inside the ruins gate, an arc-shaped isolation wall was installed, and three inspection doors were opened.

Now Bai Yurong leads Yincheng and the others through inspection gate No. 1, which is also the inspection gate leading to the three areas of ace.

Here, they have to go through three inspections, and after the last inspection is completed, they undergo full-body disinfection and purification, and change into recommended protective clothing for use within the exploration area.

Yincheng was relatively big, so he wasted a lot of time changing clothes.

And whether it was intentional or not, the place where she changed clothes was actually a translucent room, and Bai Yurong could vaguely see the silhouettes of Yincheng and the others from outside.

It's just that Yincheng himself didn't know it yet. It wasn't until he changed his clothes and came out that he noticed the clues from Bai Yurong's rosy pink face.

This made Yincheng, who was usually very dull, feel a little embarrassed. He muttered to himself: "They have to change it... This... is so outrageous..."

However, this sentence was said unintentionally, but the people who listened couldn't stop laughing.

After Bai Yurong finally stopped laughing, she led Yincheng and the others to Area A.

Area a is located 100 meters to the left of the ruins gate and is an approximately rectangular area with a total area of ​​about 900 square meters.

Here, there were once piled up a large number of broken statues and ancient books, and there are also many texts and paintings on the ground in the area. It is an inspection area with a large amount of information.

The members of the expedition team who first discovered this place were sent to Alub for treatment and recuperation because they were not wearing protective clothing.

Now it is Bai Jin and her team of ancient book translators who take over here.

As soon as he entered Area A, Yincheng saw a stone pillar that was crooked and broken in the corner of the hall.

According to visual inspection, the stone pillar is 25 meters long, and the broken point is located in the upper third.

The whole body is jet black and crystal clear, and it is hard to tell what material it is made of. However, with the help of Listening Heart, Yincheng discovered that there are many familiar words on the pillars.

Bai Yurong introduced: "This stone pillar of worship is the No. 1 cultural relic we found in a. According to data testing, it is 4,100 years old. It is a creation of the early Xinwang civilization. It is speculated that it is used to worship followers.

The totem is the embodiment of the gatekeeper god who must first kneel down and pay tribute to the lower-ranking people after entering the hall."

"Guard God?" This was the first time Yincheng saw the pillar-like gatekeeper.

Bai Yurong explained: "The early Zansbol clan was a nomadic people who worshiped the ancient god of Gaia. According to our current analysis results, this pillar is the god of strictness and solemnity from the Kui civilization period.

The cane held by Moore, and according to legend, when Kamor was in charge of strictness and solemnity, he would pierce the soul of his devotees with the cane to peer into the dark side of his inner world. If the faith is insufficient, this cane will appear bright.

Peel the true ugliness in the hearts of followers from the deepest darkness

Li Chu can be said to be a very powerful god."

Yin Cheng had no interest in legendary stories, let alone stories he had never heard of before.

But standing in front of this god's embodiment, Yincheng suddenly felt a little scared, afraid that he would say disrespectful words and be discovered by it.

This feeling was very real, and Yincheng couldn't explain why.

At this time, Bai Yurong suddenly smiled and asked: "Brother Yin, do you feel scared in your heart now?"
