As time passed, the concern on people's faces became more and more obvious, but, obviously, the door was not as easy to open as they thought. What is even more disturbing is that all communication devices cannot communicate with the outside world, and they can only rely on themselves. And the people on the second floor are still holding on, waiting for them to go back.
Feng Jialing kept staring at the complicated and difficult-to-decipher characters on the door next to him, frowning slightly, and finally turned his head to look at the person leaning against the wall, who was also the only one who was indifferent to the door being closed.
"What do you think?"
Luo Chengyun stared at the door with a cold face, still without any worried expression, and said, "Go down first."
Feng Jialing nodded in agreement, "Well, I think their results will come out soon."
In less than half a minute, Artesis' technicians ran over with an ugly face and reported to St. Gerald, "Your Highness, I'm afraid things are going to be troublesome. The energy required to open this door is a very large number— "
Jin Long had lost all patience after waiting for more than half an hour. His golden eyes were raised up, staring at the subordinate in front of him and said: "I just want to know how long it will take you to open this door."
The sweat on the technician's forehead became more and more obvious, he stammered and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm afraid we can't open this door, the method to open this door is very simple, but the energy required - is really terrifying! Let's put it this way, it's almost the sum of the energy needed by our entire Artesis in one hour, and the overall energy is also required. I'm afraid there is no carrier in the entire star field that can withstand such a huge amount of energy. I can't believe that in the world With this door, this perfect material—”
St. Gerald interrupted the off-topic technician with a black face, "I don't care how perfect it is! You mean, we are locked in and we will never be able to get out?"
The technician pulled back his thoughts from the amazement, continued to sweat profusely, his face began to turn pale, and replied with great difficulty, "... yes." He could swear with the most advanced technology in the entire star field that no one could open this door. The door, but His Royal Highness would not want to hear this, he wisely swallowed the rest of the words.
Ten minutes later, the technicians of An Empire came to the same conclusion in panic. Yuan Xi and Luo Xiaolou looked at each other in shock, and turned their attention to Fengjialing.
Like Yuan Lie, even if Feng Jialing just stood there, the people in the An Empire would feel at ease. He only said one sentence, "Then, let's go down and have a look first."
No one expressed any objection. At any rate, they can still move forward when there is no way to retreat.
Leaving the hopeless door, people entered the fourth floor with apprehension.
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge screen. In front of the screen are rows of buttons, and the indicator lights in some places are still flashing fluorescent light, showing that they are still working.
The technicians of Artesis and An Empire were stunned at first, and then surrounded them in amazement.
They have never seen such an optical brain, and at least a dozen people are needed to operate it!
"Yes...it's a super optical brain." 125 whispered into Luo Xiaolou's ear.
With the high enthusiasm of the technicians, they quickly entered the system, and then the floor plan of the fourth floor was called out. As area after area was revealed, people stared blankly at the giant screen, mouths gaping in disbelief.
No one thought that the fourth floor was bigger than the first three floors combined, and it was divided into dozens of small areas, and the markings on each area made people even more ecstatic.
The characteristic materials and science and technology of Xike Planet, the characteristic materials and science and technology of Beamon Planet, the characteristic materials and science and technology of Ferris Planet...
"...Oh my god, this, this, the lowest is a second-level civilization!"
"There is a third-level civilization! Here is the technology of a third-level civilization! Ah, I, I actually saw the science and technology of a higher civilization!" A researcher of Artesis almost burst into tears. You know, In the interstellar civilization, the high-level civilization may give some help to the low-level civilization, but those given are just a drop in the bucket compared with the science and technology of their own civilization.
Especially spaceship or weapon technology, even if you pay a huge amount of money, it is difficult to buy. Only when a higher-level civilization needs a certain mineral vein or extremely precious materials, it will exchange the finished product with a lower-level civilization. As for the technology, it can only be studied slowly by the finished product.
However, here, there is actually a whole civilization of scientific research technology!
Artesis was originally an empire that was about to be upgraded to a third-level civilization, and if the science and technology here could be brought back, it would only make their transition more perfect. In the future, even in the old third-level civilization, they can successfully occupy a place.
St. Gerald looked at Fengjialing with bright eyes, swiped his hand in the middle, and said, "Your Majesty Fengjialing, since we discovered it together, we will each share half."
Feng Jialing glanced at it. Within the area divided by St. Gerald, there were four third-level civilization technologies on Artesis's side, while there was only one on the An Empire's side. He glanced at St. Gerald and smiled. He said, "Yes, but I request that the two third-level civilization materials on your side be shared with us."
St. Gerald frowned, glanced at Luo Xiaolou and Yuan Xi quietly, thought of the troublesome egg, and took a step back, "One, no more."
"make a deal."
The two top leaders reached an agreement, and the technicians who had been trembling with excitement for a long time rushed towards the areas divided by their empire. They had to get those precious materials and science and technology in their hands before they could really feel at ease.
Fengjia Mausoleum, Saint Gerald and Luo Chengyun walked in another direction, which was not clearly marked on the screen map, and the door leading to the fifth floor was probably there.
Yuan Xi firmly held Luo Xiaolou's hand, his eyes brightened with excitement, "After we go out, the empire will soon become stronger, and we will be promoted to the second level of civilization, and even faster than Rice to the third level." Civilization." He will also become stronger, strong enough to protect Luo Xiaolou, and their children...
Luo Xiaolou looked back at the happy child-like Yuan with a smile, and was sincerely happy for him.
At this time, 125 jumped to the super optical computer with its tail cocked, tilted its head to look left and right, and even connected the interface to the super optical computer to conduct in-depth internal communication.
But in the end, it kept a suspicious expression, and muttered back to Luo Xiaolou's shoulder, "... I always feel that something is wrong."
Yuan Xi pulled Luo Xiaolou forward, Luo Xiaolou took two steps, then turned his head abruptly, and the 125 on his shoulder did the same.
Luo Xiaolou would bet that he heard a small sigh of relief, but there is obviously no living body here, and those scientific researchers have already checked it!
Luo Xiaolou took Yuan Xi back to the Super Optical Brain, and began to scan the area carefully with Yuanli. Finally, he reached out his hand suspiciously to a small robot next to a button—no matter in terms of shape or material, it was a small keyboard cleaning robot.
However, he just felt that something was wrong. Among all the positions scanned by Yuanli, only this place was abnormal. The energy fluctuations around the body of this small and pocket-sized robot were too active.
The moment Luo Xiaolou's hand was about to touch the robot, it moved, avoiding Luo Xiaolou's fingers with the agility that a simple robot shouldn't have, and said, as if he couldn't bear it, "You, don't you even clean like a fool? Don't even the robots let go!"
Luo Xiaolou's hand stopped, he definitely heard the voice of a cute little boy! Although full of accusations, it really made this man who just became a father so cute that his heart trembled!
A blue light flashed in 125's eyes, and he jumped up instantly. Before Luo Xiaolou had time to react, he picked up the small robot and said happily, "Honey, don't listen to it. We sent it. This guy is This super optical brain probably hid itself on this stupid robot in order to hide itself."
"Oh! Damn it!" The cleaning robot made a painful expression of being bitten by a dinosaur, and then said, "So what if it's me! You didn't find any abnormalities in me at all. According to the interstellar law, you can't destroy me. I-"
"None of us intends to destroy you. Besides, is this self-inflicted..." Luo Xiaolou looked at the little robot and comforted him, taking it out of 125's mouth by the way.
The little robot froze for a moment, tightly shut its mouth, as if it was a foolish cleaning robot without any other functions.
Luo Xiaolou squeezed the small robot, "So, what did you do?"
"... I collected and preserved the data of many galaxies without the master's instructions." The little robot said uneasily and coyly, feeling ashamed for not fully obeying the master's instructions, "Later, they put me here, It hasn't been shown in years, and I have no way of collecting it—you're not going to tell them, are you?"
Luo Xiaolou was silent. He glanced at the unconscious 125 and sighed silently in his heart. Isn't self-assessment really one of the attributes of an intelligent optical brain...
He quickly thought of another point, "Are you collecting more things than those kept here?"
"Of course, there are many more. Wherever the gnats go, I almost collect them."
…
Gibbling and introducing himself—Luo Xiaolou guessed that it hadn't talked to anyone for too long, and finally, it asked cautiously, "Are you really not going to execute me for disobeying orders?"
"Of course not, you think too much. In fact, we need you very much." Luo Xiaolou looked at the busy Artes and his party, the corners of his mouth curled up. They have already obtained the greatest wealth here.
Putting the chattering little robot in Yuan Xi's pocket, this guy was too important, he didn't dare to keep it.
The little robot didn't stop talking, but took the time to look at Yuan Xi and asked, "From now on, will you be my master?"
"Yes, I will not stop you from collecting any information, but before that, you must obtain my permission." Yuan Xi said with a serious face.
"Okay, okay, this is already very good." The little robot thought for a few seconds and said.
After Yuan Xi ordered the little robot to shut up—it and 125 switched to internal communication—he pulled Luo Xiaolou towards Feng Jialing and the others.
They had already opened the door to the fifth floor. Fengjialing and St. Gerald left all the scientific research and technical personnel on the fourth floor, and each sent some people to protect them.
As you can imagine, there is nothing more precious than what is here.
Therefore, less than ten people from An Empire and Artesis entered the fifth floor, but all the people who followed were the elites of the elites.
After entering the gate leading to the fifth floor and seeing the situation in the hall clearly, everyone's expressions changed, and they were ready for battle in an instant.
After a while, Feng Jialing said in a low voice, "No, they are not living people, they are statues, no, more precisely, they are specimens."
In front of them are rows of people in different clothes, and some strange alien intelligences. Their expressions were vivid and lifelike, and they stood there neatly, as if waiting for a review, or waiting for a certain order. After receiving it, they could immediately take up weapons and attack these intruders.
St. Gerald squinted his eyes and said, "Obviously, they come from different places or different civilizations. Only the people or intelligent bodies in the same row have obvious similarities. It can be seen that they are from the same Place. There are so many people, so many races, why are they being made into specimens here? Wait, do you mean that every time those gnats pass by a place, they capture a row of people to make specimens as souvenirs?"
No one spoke, but in the tomb-like hall, the mood became heavy.
These people standing quietly in the hall, each row of people looks or wears very similar, but is completely different from other rows of people.
St. Gerald's big yellow eyes flashed, and he glanced sharply at the text descriptions in front of each row. He leaned over and looked at it for a while, then raised his voice and said, "These are the places outside where the gnats have collected science, technology and materials. Planetary humans, and they have another thing in common."
St. Gerald's voice became serious, "If I remember correctly, these planets are all planets that suddenly disappeared at a certain point in interstellar history."
Hearing his words, Feng Jialing's expression changed, and he observed from the first person in the row to the last person. There were not many people in such a row, and it took him more than ten minutes to see the end.
Finally, Feng Jialing stared at the last person with a strange expression, and said, "I'm afraid it's not just as simple as a specimen, come and have a look."
Luo Xiaolou followed Yuan Xi and looked at them one by one like Feng Jialing. Luo Xiaolou was surprised to find that those specimens were not only as simple as living people, but their pupils seemed to be shining, and their faces were still radiant. With their expressions on, it was difficult for him to regard them as inanimate statues or specimens.
Moreover, the same clothes, the same physical features, it's almost like the same person. However, there are absolutely obvious differences from each person to each person.
When Luo Xiaolou saw the same birthmark on the seventh person, he paused and asked 125 in his mind, "125, can you do genetic testing for these people?"
125's voice quickly rang in his ears, "I've already done it, just like you think, it's a clone of the same person."
Luo Xiaolou frowned slightly. If the purpose of gnats was to make specimens, why did the same person make so many? And, what about those differences
A few seconds later, 125 said again, "However, there seems to be something else in their bodies, and the content of that thing is increasing... This is probably the reason for their changes. If you want more detailed results, I need Anatomical examination."
At this time, Luo Xiaolou had been dragged by Yuan Xi to the end, and the moment he saw that thing, Luo Xiaolou's face turned pale, "I think, you don't need to be tested."
He raised his eyes and looked back, and his heart instantly turned cold. Sure enough, as he guessed, the last specimen in each row was exactly the same, and it was a monster completely different from human beings. It was disgusting and weird, but it also made him feel strongly familiar.
"They were all turned into the same thing in the end." Luo Chengyun said, with obvious disgust in his eyes, and at the same time looked at Luo Xiaolou thoughtfully.
Luo Shaotian looked at Luo Xiaolou, hesitated to speak, and finally patted him on the shoulder, and stood not far behind him.
When Feng Jialing also looked over, Luo Xiaolou's expression became even uglier. He almost thought of the answer, gnats, they were all turned into gnats in the end. These people, like him, were all parasitized by gnats, and the specimens here are nothing but the evolutionary history of gnats.
Feng Jialing looked at the last thing, and said calmly, "The gnats are a race that existed in ancient times, a kind of existence like a virus, their natural strength is terrifyingly powerful, and after they parasitize, they can use their own powerful Mental power completely replaces the owner of the original body. However, it is also because of their way of living that seriously infringes on other races. As long as they appear on a large scale, they will become extinct in the near future. There are fatal flaws in their genes, which means It's almost like the creator's punishment for them."
"However, even so, this evil ancient species has found a way to continue the race. Every time they go extinct, some individuals will be sealed up. When they are discovered by humans or intelligent bodies again, they will reappear in the It also means that the victim has appeared."
Both Fengjialing and St. Gerald's eyes flashed worry. If Tres said that they were studying this kind of thing hundreds of years ago, it means that they had discovered the cockles long ago. Coupled with the experience of the alien beast family, it was obvious that the alien beast was the first one chosen by Anxie.
They used humans to get close to the alien beasts, spread the virus, and made the alien beasts lose their fighting power, but the alien beasts would rather destroy their homes and seal the entire group, and did not let the gnat's plot succeed.
And now, the gnat has stretched out his other hand, and they never planned to let humans go. Those mutated octopus people who started to attack humans are the best illustration.
St. Gerald said with a cold face, "Tress, if the gnats really appeared in this star field because of them, they are the sinners of the entire star field. They thought they could calculate other civilizations in this way, and they themselves Lucky to avoid disaster? Although it seems that they have designed the entire star field with great pains, it has to be said that they are too stupid. Wherever gnats appear, they always end in destruction."
Luo Xiaolou stared at the strange shape of the gnat, and suddenly his mind went blank. He wanted to hold Yuan Xi tightly, tell him to leave here, and leave this star field with the children. But he couldn't say anything, instead he calmly let go of Yuan Xi's hand, as if he had an idea of his own.
While Feng Jialing and others were still discussing the grim and frightening situation, Luo Xiaolou walked forward alone, in order to communicate with the super optical brain Xiaoba, who had already exchanged names with 125, who was standing in front of him. Past shoulders.
It wasn't until Luo Xiaolou walked for a while that 125 raised his body belatedly, looked in Luo Xiaolou's direction, and shouted in confusion: "Hey, dear! Where are you going? Don't you feel forgotten? Something important like me?"
Yuan Xi turned his head suddenly, looked at Luo Xiaolou who didn't look back, and shouted, "He's not in the right condition, we must stop him immediately." Saying that, Yuan Xi had already chased after Luo Xiaolou.
However, before Yuan Xi could take two steps, there was a loud cracking sound in the hall on the fifth floor, and people looked around in bewilderment.
The surrounding walls made of metal and boulders were cracked, and something was slowly moving inside, slowly revealing its figure. Bright and clean "My God, what is that!"
"The ceiling is also shattered, we must get out of here immediately!"
As the huge stone fell, the floor of the hall shook, and the sound of huge footsteps rang in everyone's ears.
When the whole hall was in a mess, Luo Xiaolou still walked forward unaware, and when he was about to be hit by a boulder, someone threw him to the ground.
With red eyes, Yuan Xi ran in the direction of Luo Xiaolou among countless gravels.
Luo Shaotian quickly pulled up Luo Xiaolou who was under him, frowned and looked at Luo Xiaolou's dazed eyes, grabbed his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Wake up quickly, Luo Xiao... brother, You have to go back with us. You can't give up by yourself, and if you don't want to, he can never replace you!"
