Hades was holding a small cart in his hand. The relatively simple mechanical structure could be seen clearly through the hollow frame.
Without an emergency feedback system, the wheels of this car are still turning, trying to drive in its originally intended direction.
Hades stretched out his finger and braked the wheels of the cart.
Instantly, a cute little force feedback came from his fingertips.
This is not a very sophisticated instrument. When Hades hacked into its system, he only found simple remote control commands.
Hades' face was full of question marks now, but fortunately someone came to answer his doubts.
"Lord Hades, are you looking at Exploration 82?"
The Skitarii who had led the team earlier walked up to Hades. She was Yad-783, the leader of the team.
Although her appearance does not reveal whether she is a man or a woman, she claims that her biological gender is female.
"This is.?"
Hades fiddled with the little car in his hand.
"These are the remaining agricultural machines on this planet. After humans disappeared, they still follow their established routes to carry out agricultural sowing, fertilization, transportation and collection."
"Their structure is simple but ingenious, which allows them to continue to work after humans disappear."
"The anti-aging technology for machines that the sage collected earlier came from Exploration Object No. 82."
"Is that so?"
Hades blinked, then put down the cart in his hands.
He was also thoughtful enough to put the fruits he had taken off the cart back on.
The car got stuck twice, but soon returned to the traffic flow, working busily and seemingly uselessly.
"The humans on this planet have disappeared, but the machines are still working?"
Hades muttered to himself as he watched the car go away.
"Yes, sir. Flesh and blood are destined to be weak. Precise and coordinated mechanical structures are the choice of truth in the world."
The Crusader Yad believed that this technical sergeant had realized the greatness of the God of All Machines, so she also expressed her own feelings.
A civilization passes away, but the machines remain.
Unfortunately, Hades immediately said the next sentence,
"But where did all that food end up? It was piled up in the warehouse and moldy. It can't hold up, right?"
Yade silently swallowed back the mechanical prayer she was about to recite. Obviously, the sages she followed usually chose to recite prayers at this time.
"Sir, there is a place where food is piled nearby. You can go and have a look. I will lead you."
"good."
The traffic gathered on a high ground in the village.
Hades was now lying on the ground in a very ungraceful manner, staring into the hole with one eye.
Several small carts surrounded him, trying in vain to dump food into the small hole, but they were blocked by Hades and could only bump into him one by one.
"Don't bump into it."
Hades casually reached back and knocked over the cart, continuing to look into the small hole with great effort.
The hole is too deep and I can't see anything clearly.
Having swept nothing, Hades had no choice but to stand up and watch the carts dump the fruit down.
There are countless densely packed potholes in this open space, and the food from the huge traffic flow is eventually dumped here.
"According to sonic detection, there is a large food storage room underneath."
Yade's voice rang out.
"But because there is no loss, the food that does go bad is turned into liquid fertilizer by the agricultural system here and re-fertilized in the forest."
Near the neatly arranged small holes, there are indeed some yellow-green liquid pipes that emit a rotten smell upwards.
Dense moss and fungi covered the pipe opening.
A special machine drove over, collected the liquid, and then entered the dense forest again.
"Are you sure you have conducted a thorough investigation?"
"Yes, sir. There are many similar food collection points around villages and cities. We sampled and explored five of them. They are indeed full of food, but due to the damage to the storage system, most of them are already rotten and semi-liquid."
Hades blinked, it seemed that he was overthinking it.
However, it would have been great if this simple, brainless and useful little machine had been available on Barbarus.
Having said that, Hades still secretly memorized the structure of these machines, and once again restrained the urge to take off his helmet and eat a bite of fruit.
Not far from this platform is an open circular platform. With the mentality of "since I'm already here", Hades decisively walked over.
Simple geometric vines are carved on the white stone pillars. Layers of outdoor seats surround the platform. In the middle of the circular platform, a steep podium rises from the ground, with thorns and vines carved on it.
In the center of the podium, the symbol of two hands holding the sun was carved out of a wooden board, with vines wrapped around one of the hands.
“This should be a place for humans to preach and educate.”
Yade's voice dutifully came from behind Hades, and Hades stared at the podium—
He jumped up suddenly and jumped directly onto the podium. The huge body of the Space Marine was slightly crowded on the podium.
But Hades didn't care so much. His left brain showed that there were fluctuations of electronic equipment here.
He controlled the plasma cutter behind him, using minimal power to slowly cut open the podium—
A backup device
Hades hesitantly plugged the backup device into the isolation room reader of his power armor.
[Speech Record No. 126]
[Speaker: Rui Bo]
A picture of a little girl with white hair and a shawl is posted here. She is most likely Ruibo. She is wearing clothes similar to a white scientific research robe, and a badge made of three vines is pinned on her clothes.
Her face was full of alienation and rationality, but also mixed with rebellion.
However, that feeling of disgust can be felt even through the electronic photo -
Is this an untouchable
Hades frowned subconsciously and continued browsing the content.
[We choose to believe in science.]
[Religions handed down from ancient times should be overthrown.]
[They ask us to endure suffering and to believe in those weird black buildings.]
[Here, I want to say that there is no God in this world, and we should use technology to explain everything.]
The record ends here, and the rest are some fragments of technical talks.
Hades frowned and flipped through it, but found that it was more of a guide on how to use psychic power step by step rather than a technological development.
Are you sure using human blood to drive psychic powers falls under the umbrella of "scientific research"
Although the Golden Age was a blasphemous existence where war machines were powered by infant blood
Hades read it again and again, but the brief information and his limited knowledge of psychic powers made it impossible for him to discern the substantive content of these scientific research.
Hades, the black building of the psychic religion, suddenly remembered the strange dream again.
The bishop in black priest attire.
"Help me. Kill. Her."
"she?"
Hades stared at the white-haired girl on the reader.
What is going on
Hades suddenly realized that this planet was obviously not as simple as all humans being dead.
Hades took a deep breath. Well, what's the first thing you do when you realize something is wrong
He opened the communication channel of Kirkland Sage,
"Sage, can the spacecraft leave the planet normally at this moment?"
"Oh! Lord Hades, I was just about to talk to you about this."
"Just now, there was abnormal weather in the atmosphere above this planet, which is not suitable for takeoff."
"But it doesn't matter. You should be able to catch up with the fleet from Forge World."
Hades took another deep breath. If what he had just heard was just his guess, then from this moment on, Hades's alarm bells had been fully sounded.
His scalp tingled.
"Sage, send out a distress signal."
"ah?"
"Don't worry about it, now, immediately, right away."
Hades blinked.
"If everything is alright by then, let me negotiate with the rescue team."
"But now, go get help."
Hades said through gritted teeth.
Endurance, unknown.
"Karastephon's behavior has been a little unusual recently. He always moves closer to the untouchable area."
Fernando moved imperceptibly. Now? At this time
Moreover, why would psychics want to hang out in the area of the untouchables
"I'll go and take a look."
