Vernal swore.
"Where are the Martians?"
The moment his right hand finally touched the transparent wall, Lu Zhou could feel an obvious resistance, preventing his hand from moving forward.
"That shouldn't take long."
…
Lu Zhou nodded.
"This is a cemetery..."
Even though he had discovered many miracles in the civilized world, he had never been as deeply shocked by what he saw today as he was today.
Professor Vernal nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out the multifunctional shovel he had picked up earlier and swung it with all his strength.
"Well, now that you have met the Observer, it must have told you about the 'legacy'. If it likes you, you may know more secrets than me."
Schultz is quite skeptical that with the current technology on earth, it may not be possible to excavate such a huge ruins on the seabed several kilometers below.
It was an open space comparable to a football field, with a ceiling height of about a hundred feet. Square stone monuments were like chess pieces on a chessboard, dotted around almost the entire open space. The smooth and flat surface like a mirror, as well as the sharp edges and corners like a knife, are like handicrafts carved by thespians.
"That shouldn't take long."
"I'm lucky enough to have met him once."
"...I didn't expect the cracks in the four-dimensional space to look like this."
As long as these four-dimensional space fragments interfere with this three-dimensional space, there are certain rules.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a topological geometry problem. Although it's a bit complicated..." Lu Zhou turned off the communication module and calmed down completely. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "But two hours is enough for me."
What is amazing is not the huge amount of work like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but that billions of years have not been able to smooth out its water chestnuts, or even leave a single scratch on its body.
"Yes, but this is the fastest," the voice continued with a hint of joy. "There is more than one way to solve the problem. It is to traverse all the results and exhaustively solve the problem in infinite possibilities. Finding a way out is one of the joys of exploration. Of course, you can also be as opportunistic as you are now and let yourself flow with the bubble in the four-dimensional space, but it has to be said that this requires not only courage and wisdom, but also a lot of responsibility. risks of."
This world-class problem that had troubled him and his collaborators for a full month was actually just "this level" in this guy's eyes.
Lu Zhou nodded.
Thinking of this, a look of dumbfounding appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
"Yes, I did say that, and the depth here is probably not small. As you said, it must be at least several kilometers or even tens or hundreds of kilometers."
Thinking of this, a look of dumbfounding appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a topological geometry problem. Although it's a bit complicated..." Lu Zhou turned off the communication module and calmed down completely. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "But two hours is enough for me."
"God... it's incredible."
"Where are the Martians?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a topological geometry problem. Although it's a bit complicated..." Lu Zhou turned off the communication module and calmed down completely. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "But two hours is enough for me."
"Can I ask a question?"
"Yes, I did say that, and the depth here is probably not small. As you said, it must be at least several kilometers or even tens or hundreds of kilometers."
Moving forward with trembling steps, Professor Vernal passed the stunned Schultz and walked to the nearest stone monument. The old professor stretched out his trembling right hand, as if stroking a handicraft, and pressed his palm against the flat and smooth surface.
There was a hint of curiosity in the voice, as if he was anticipating Lu Zhou's next move.
"But unfortunately, you only have two hours."
After finally recovering from his shock, Schultz swallowed, walked forward and stood next to Professor Vernal, looked at him and said in a questioning tone.
"This is a cemetery..."
"No need, there are many verification methods, not to mention that mathematical problems of this level are not difficult for us."
There was a hint of curiosity in the voice, as if he was anticipating Lu Zhou's next move.
Putting his hand on the nearest stone tablet, Professor Vernal murmured to himself, "Cemeteries belonging to civilization... It is hard to imagine how they have remained intact during these long years, and who and why This miracle was accomplished.”
"This is a cemetery..."
Putting his hand on the nearest stone tablet, Professor Vernal murmured to himself, "Cemeteries belonging to civilization... It is hard to imagine how they have remained intact during these long years, and who and why This miracle was accomplished.”
"From the tribal days to the information age, they were almost close to the truth, but unfortunately, those little guys were too conceited about their own power, and this heavy truth ultimately destroyed them."
"Being able to face the void is not something ordinary people are lucky to have. Although sometimes being lucky doesn't mean it's a good thing."
The moment his right hand finally touched the transparent wall, Lu Zhou could feel an obvious resistance, preventing his hand from moving forward.
"Keep moving forward."
Vernal felt a little tricky.
After finally recovering from his shock, Schultz swallowed, walked forward and stood next to Professor Vernal, looked at him and said in a questioning tone.
"Maybe it's some kind of special religious ceremony, maybe it's a sacrifice to that sacred relic..."
Lu Zhou: "So you are not an observer civilization."
Schultz is quite skeptical that with the current technology on earth, it may not be possible to excavate such a huge ruins on the seabed several kilometers below.
"What surprises me is not just these, but that underneath this 'handicraft' made of high-strength alloys are wrapped some organic debris containing calcium carbonate minerals."
It's not a difficult thing...
"Twenty thousand years... that's really a long time."
Taking a deep breath, Professor Vernal carefully put the collected samples into the sample bag he carried with him, and put a label on it containing information such as the sampling location.
There are so many possibilities.
"…cemetery?"
Vernal swore.
Thinking of this, a look of dumbfounding appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
"Yes."
"Where are the Martians?"
"Yes."
…
As if in response to this curiosity, Lu Zhou smiled faintly.
"Maybe it's some kind of special religious ceremony, maybe it's a sacrifice to that sacred relic..."
Lu Zhou continued to fumble with his hands on the invisible wall. With an expression of interest on his face, Lu Zhou asked casually.
A soft cry came from the communication channel, and there was a hint of unconcealed approval in the voice.
"Maybe it's some kind of special religious ceremony, maybe it's a sacrifice to that sacred relic..."
Professor Vernal nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out the multifunctional shovel he had picked up earlier and swung it with all his strength.
"From the tribal days to the information age, they were almost close to the truth, but unfortunately, those little guys were too conceited about their own power, and this heavy truth ultimately destroyed them."

"...I didn't expect the cracks in the four-dimensional space to look like this."
Even though he had discovered many miracles in the civilized world, he had never been as deeply shocked by what he saw today as he was today.
"God... it's incredible."
After a few dinging sounds, the mirror-smooth stone finally couldn't withstand the knocks and fell apart like broken tofu pieces along the point where the shovel landed.
"The meaning of the test is to let the right person inherit what belongs to him."
Lu Zhou nodded.
Lu Zhou: "So you are not an observer civilization."
"From the tribal days to the information age, they were almost close to the truth, but unfortunately, those little guys were too conceited about their own power, and this heavy truth ultimately destroyed them."
A piece of debris was knocked out along the crack. Professor Vernal took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then analyzed it seriously.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a topological geometry problem. Although it's a bit complicated..." Lu Zhou turned off the communication module and calmed down completely. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "But two hours is enough for me."
Putting his hand on the nearest stone tablet, Professor Vernal murmured to himself, "Cemeteries belonging to civilization... It is hard to imagine how they have remained intact during these long years, and who and why This miracle was accomplished.”

"You must know that civilization itself is an abstract concept. It is not enough to package gifts and throw them on their home planet when giving gifts to civilization. We must first select them through some special methods. Suitable individuals, and then cultivate the individuals who pass the screening, guide them to find and inherit the gifts given, and only under such circumstances can the gifts prepared for enlightenment be used as they should... Facts Yes, these things are what I thought of later.”
"At least three billion years ago, the fragment in my hand should have come from some kind of alloy material. After billions of years of weathering, it has turned into hematite, but the rare metals dispersed in the alloy have not It is not completely oxidized, and even because the denser oxide layer is well preserved, a special natural alloy is formed with iron oxide as the main component. It should also contain cadmium, nickel, and carbon, but the specific composition requires professional equipment for analysis. .”
"What are you going to do?"
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, "I have turned on the file transfer function. If you can successfully receive the data, you should be able to see my proof. If there is anything you don't understand, I can also explain it. for you."
As if in response to this curiosity, Lu Zhou smiled faintly.
After a pause, he continued.
There was a hint of curiosity in the voice, as if he was anticipating Lu Zhou's next move.
"I believe you are already standing here. It should not be difficult to pass the last test."
"I'm lucky enough to have met him once."
Carrying out such a large project on the seabed is not an easy task.
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, "I have turned on the file transfer function. If you can successfully receive the data, you should be able to see my proof. If there is anything you don't understand, I can also explain it. for you."
"Yes, I did say that, and the depth here is probably not small. As you said, it must be at least several kilometers or even tens or hundreds of kilometers."

There was a hint of approval in the voice.

After billions of years of weathering, it has turned into hematite, but the rare metals dispersed in the alloy have not It is not completely oxidized, and even because the denser oxide layer is well preserved, a special natural alloy is formed with iron oxide as the main component. It should also contain cadmium, nickel, and carbon, but the specific composition requires professional equipment for analysis. .”
"But... why did they send the coffin to the seabed several kilometers below? I remember you said that this place should have been a sea billions of years ago."
"Yes, you are the first human to discover this."
"These things are like coffins... no, to be precise, they are coffins."
"These things are like coffins... no, to be precise, they are coffins."
Moving forward with trembling steps, Professor Vernal passed the stunned Schultz and walked to the nearest stone monument. The old professor stretched out his trembling right hand, as if stroking a handicraft, and pressed his palm against the flat and smooth surface.
"Originally, I expected that it would take at least a few centuries before I can see you again. I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly." There was a little approval and happiness in the voice, "Congratulations, then. The chosen one, I believe you have brought the answers I need, right?”
"Actually, there's not just one way to get here."
Taking a deep breath, Professor Vernal carefully put the collected samples into the sample bag he carried with him, and put a label on it containing information such as the sampling location.
Lu Zhou did not speak, but waited for the voice to continue speaking.
As if in response to this curiosity, Lu Zhou smiled faintly.

Square stone monuments were like chess pieces on a chessboard, dotted around almost the entire open space.

Seeing Professor Vernal making such an inference, Schultz's Adam's apple moved slightly with a shocked expression on his face, and he spoke with difficulty after a long while.
"Of course."
There was a hint of curiosity in the voice, as if he was anticipating Lu Zhou's next move.
"But... why did they send the coffin to the seabed several kilometers below? I remember you said that this place should have been a sea billions of years ago."
"Yes."

…
"...I didn't expect the cracks in the four-dimensional space to look like this."
"But... why did they send the coffin to the seabed several kilometers below? I remember you said that this place should have been a sea billions of years ago."
"Of course we are continuing the unfinished work of our predecessors billions of years ago."
Putting this inexplicable frustration aside for the time being, Lu Zhou took a deep breath, faced the empty grotto, and spoke in a clear voice.
"What are you going to do?"
Carrying out such a large project on the seabed is not an easy task.
Those zigzag lines correspond to the passages in the ruins, which are the things he showed in the conference room before.
"But unfortunately, you only have two hours."
However, the amazing thing was that he could clearly feel that there was nothing there.
After saying this, Lu Zhou took two steps back.
It was an open space comparable to a football field, with a ceiling height of about a hundred feet. Square stone monuments were like chess pieces on a chessboard, dotted around almost the entire open space.

"No... But you ask this, it seems you have already met them?"
"...I underestimated you."
"The meaning of the test is to let the right person inherit what belongs to him."
Those zigzag lines correspond to the passages in the ruins, which are the things he showed in the conference room before.
"Do you even need to ask?"
"But unfortunately, you only have two hours."
Regarding Schulz's statement, Professor Vernal nodded.
A piece of debris was knocked out along the crack. Professor Vernal took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then analyzed it seriously.
"This is a very interesting question. Someone once asked me this a long time ago... At that time, you were probably just cells."
Putting his hand on the nearest stone tablet, Professor Vernal murmured to himself, "Cemeteries belonging to civilization... It is hard to imagine how they have remained intact during these long years, and who and why This miracle was accomplished.”
There was a hint of approval in the voice.
Professor Vernal nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out the multifunctional shovel he had picked up earlier and swung it with all his strength.
"The gift from the void lies ahead."
Carrying out such a large project on the seabed is not an easy task.
"Yes, I did say that, and the depth here is probably not small. As you said, it must be at least several kilometers or even tens or hundreds of kilometers."
Professor Vernal nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out the multifunctional shovel he had picked up earlier and swung it with all his strength.

Professor Vernal nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out the multifunctional shovel he had picked up earlier and swung it with all his strength.
Looking up at the wide grotto and the square stones that were so neat that they could almost be measured with a ruler, he couldn't help but frown slightly and fell into deep thought.
"What happened to them?"
"…cemetery?"
"Yes, I did say that, and the depth here is probably not small. As you said, it must be at least several kilometers or even tens or hundreds of kilometers."
"Maybe it's some kind of special religious ceremony, maybe it's a sacrifice to that sacred relic..."
Professor Vernal nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out the multifunctional shovel he had picked up earlier and swung it with all his strength.
"Actually, there's not just one way to get here."
"Or, actually, this is not a cemetery."
"Of course."
"Yes, you are the first human to discover this."
"But some kind of asylum facility?"
"Twenty thousand years... that's really a long time."
Just when Professor Vernal and Schultz were so shocked by what they discovered that they almost forgot the purpose of their trip, Lu Zhou, who was standing in an empty cave, finally heard the voice from another civilization.
After a few dinging sounds, the mirror-smooth stone finally couldn't withstand the knocks and fell apart like broken tofu pieces along the point where the shovel landed.
"At least three billion years ago, the fragment in my hand should have come from some kind of alloy material.

Vernal felt a little tricky.
There are so many possibilities.

"What are you going to do?"
After that, he took a step forward, came to the invisible wall, and slowly stretched out his right hand towards it.
"These things are like coffins... no, to be precise, they are coffins."
"But... why did they send the coffin to the seabed several kilometers below? I remember you said that this place should have been a sea billions of years ago."

It was as if what was blocking him was not some visible substance, but something similar to a law.
Thinking of this, a look of dumbfounding appeared on Lu Zhou's face.
"Being able to face the void is not something ordinary people are lucky to have. Although sometimes being lucky doesn't mean it's a good thing."
"go ahead."

After finally recovering from his shock, Schultz swallowed, walked forward and stood next to Professor Vernal, looked at him and said in a questioning tone.
Lu Zhou's expression couldn't help but be a little strange.
"Of course."
Those zigzag lines correspond to the passages in the ruins, which are the things he showed in the conference room before.
The voice was somewhat nostalgic as he continued.
Vernal felt a little tricky.
At least he had no idea there was any fun in it.

Vernal swore.
After saying this, Lu Zhou took two steps back.
It's not a difficult thing...
"But some kind of asylum facility?"
Soon, lines of different colors were projected on the screen inside the mask in a three-dimensional form, and were also reflected in Lu Zhou's pupils.
"No... But you ask this, it seems you have already met them?"
"The meaning of the test is to let the right person inherit what belongs to him."

"But... why did they send the coffin to the seabed several kilometers below? I remember you said that this place should have been a sea billions of years ago."
"Do you even need to ask?"
"What surprises me is not just these, but that underneath this 'handicraft' made of high-strength alloys are wrapped some organic debris containing calcium carbonate minerals."
"You must know that civilization itself is an abstract concept. It is not enough to package gifts and throw them on their home planet when giving gifts to civilization. We must first select them through some special methods. Suitable individuals, and then cultivate the individuals who pass the screening, guide them to find and inherit the gifts given, and only under such circumstances can the gifts prepared for enlightenment be used as they should... Facts Yes, these things are what I thought of later.”
"...I underestimated you."
After finally recovering from his shock, Schultz swallowed, walked forward and stood next to Professor Vernal, looked at him and said in a questioning tone.
"What surprises me is not just these, but that underneath this 'handicraft' made of high-strength alloys are wrapped some organic debris containing calcium carbonate minerals."
Vernal felt a little tricky.
"God... it's incredible."
"Originally, I expected that it would take at least a few centuries before I can see you again. I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly." There was a little approval and happiness in the voice, "Congratulations, then. The chosen one, I believe you have brought the answers I need, right?”
"Do you even need to ask?"
Lu Zhou: "So you are not an observer civilization."
"Can I ask a question?"
"Yes, I did say that, and the depth here is probably not small. As you said, it must be at least several kilometers or even tens or hundreds of kilometers."
"No... But you ask this, it seems you have already met them?"
What is amazing is not the huge amount of work like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but that billions of years have not been able to smooth out its water chestnuts, or even leave a single scratch on its body.
After a pause, he continued.
pleasure
There was a hint of interest in the voice.
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, "I have turned on the file transfer function. If you can successfully receive the data, you should be able to see my proof. If there is anything you don't understand, I can also explain it. for you."
The moment his right hand finally touched the transparent wall, Lu Zhou could feel an obvious resistance, preventing his hand from moving forward.
After pondering for a long time, an expression of interest suddenly appeared in Lu Zhou's eyes, and he said to himself thoughtfully.
"Where are the Martians?"
Hearing the change in his tone, Lu Zhou nodded and spoke concisely.
Soon, lines of different colors were projected on the screen inside the mask in a three-dimensional form, and were also reflected in Lu Zhou's pupils.
Regarding Schulz's statement, Professor Vernal nodded.
"I'm lucky enough to have met him once."
"Yes, I did say that, and the depth here is probably not small. As you said, it must be at least several kilometers or even tens or hundreds of kilometers."
"The meaning of the test is to let the right person inherit what belongs to him."
"Being able to face the void is not something ordinary people are lucky to have. Although sometimes being lucky doesn't mean it's a good thing."
"These things are like coffins... no, to be precise, they are coffins."
Looking up at the wide grotto and the square stones that were so neat that they could almost be measured with a ruler, he couldn't help but frown slightly and fell into deep thought.
…
"These things are like coffins... no, to be precise, they are coffins."
Putting this inexplicable frustration aside for the time being, Lu Zhou took a deep breath, faced the empty grotto, and spoke in a clear voice.
There are so many possibilities.
Lu Zhou did not speak, but waited for the voice to continue speaking.
What is amazing is not the huge amount of work like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but that billions of years have not been able to smooth out its water chestnuts, or even leave a single scratch on its body.
"That shouldn't take long."
"Well, now that you have met the Observer, it must have told you about the 'legacy'. If it likes you, you may know more secrets than me."
"Yes."
"The meaning of the test is to let the right person inherit what belongs to him."
"You must know that civilization itself is an abstract concept. It is not enough to package gifts and throw them on their home planet when giving gifts to civilization. We must first select them through some special methods. Suitable individuals, and then cultivate the individuals who pass the screening, guide them to find and inherit the gifts given, and only under such circumstances can the gifts prepared for enlightenment be used as they should... Facts Yes, these things are what I thought of later.”
"It took them 20,000 years."
A soft cry came from the communication channel, and there was a hint of unconcealed approval in the voice.
"But unfortunately, you only have two hours."
A piece of debris was knocked out along the crack. Professor Vernal took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then analyzed it seriously.
"Keep moving forward."
At least he had no idea there was any fun in it.
"No... But you ask this, it seems you have already met them?"
Lu Zhou did not speak, but waited for the voice to continue speaking.
Lu Zhou: "So you are not an observer civilization."
After that, he reached out and pressed a few buttons on the wrist-mounted computer.
"Yes."
"No need, there are many verification methods, not to mention that mathematical problems of this level are not difficult for us."
As if in response to this curiosity, Lu Zhou smiled faintly.
"The gift from the void lies ahead."
…
Lu Zhou: "So you are not an observer civilization."
After that, he took a step forward, came to the invisible wall, and slowly stretched out his right hand towards it.
"I believe you are already standing here. It should not be difficult to pass the last test."
It's not a difficult thing...
The voice was somewhat nostalgic as he continued.
Lu Zhou nodded.

Soon, lines of different colors were projected on the screen inside the mask in a three-dimensional form, and were also reflected in Lu Zhou's pupils.
"Yes, you are the first human to discover this."
"I don't see the point of this test."
"The meaning of the test is to let the right person inherit what belongs to him."
Regarding Schulz's statement, Professor Vernal nodded.
"Of course."
pleasure
"go ahead."
"Where are the Martians?"
"Disasters are man-made, and some are caused by nature... If you want to know, you will know after you pass the barrier in front of you. Some information is saved there. If you are interested, you can give them as gifts. take away."
A soft cry came from the communication channel, and there was a hint of unconcealed approval in the voice.
After that, he took a step forward, came to the invisible wall, and slowly stretched out his right hand towards it.
"Of course."
Schultz is quite skeptical that with the current technology on earth, it may not be possible to excavate such a huge ruins on the seabed several kilometers below.

However, the amazing thing was that he could clearly feel that there was nothing there.

"But... why did they send the coffin to the seabed several kilometers below? I remember you said that this place should have been a sea billions of years ago."
It was as if what was blocking him was not some visible substance, but something similar to a law.
Regarding Schulz's statement, Professor Vernal nodded.
There was a hint of interest in the voice.
"This is a very interesting question. Someone once asked me this a long time ago... At that time, you were probably just cells."
"I don't see the point of this test."
"I don't see the point of this test."
Lu Zhou nodded.
"But unfortunately, you only have two hours."
"What happened to them?"
After pondering for a long time, an expression of interest suddenly appeared in Lu Zhou's eyes, and he said to himself thoughtfully.
Putting this inexplicable frustration aside for the time being, Lu Zhou took a deep breath, faced the empty grotto, and spoke in a clear voice.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a topological geometry problem. Although it's a bit complicated..." Lu Zhou turned off the communication module and calmed down completely. He took a deep breath and said calmly, "But two hours is enough for me."
Lu Zhou: "So you are not an observer civilization."
"At least three billion years ago, the fragment in my hand should have come from some kind of alloy material. After billions of years of weathering, it has turned into hematite, but the rare metals dispersed in the alloy have not It is not completely oxidized, and even because the denser oxide layer is well preserved, a special natural alloy is formed with iron oxide as the main component. It should also contain cadmium, nickel, and carbon, but the specific composition requires professional equipment for analysis. .”
At least he had no idea there was any fun in it.
Lu Zhou nodded.
Professor Vernal nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out the multifunctional shovel he had picked up earlier and swung it with all his strength.
"...I didn't expect the cracks in the four-dimensional space to look like this."
"What happened to them?"
As if in response to this curiosity, Lu Zhou smiled faintly.
This world-class problem that had troubled him and his collaborators for a full month was actually just "this level" in this guy's eyes.
Vernal swore.
Putting his hand on the nearest stone tablet, Professor Vernal murmured to himself, "Cemeteries belonging to civilization... It is hard to imagine how they have remained intact during these long years, and who and why This miracle was accomplished.”
There was a hint of approval in the voice.
"…cemetery?"
It's not a difficult thing...
After that, he took a step forward, came to the invisible wall, and slowly stretched out his right hand towards it.
"These things are like coffins... no, to be precise, they are coffins."
"Being able to face the void is not something ordinary people are lucky to have. Although sometimes being lucky doesn't mean it's a good thing."
"Of course we are continuing the unfinished work of our predecessors billions of years ago."
This world-class problem that had troubled him and his collaborators for a full month was actually just "this level" in this guy's eyes.
Lu Zhou: "So you are not an observer civilization."
"Yes, you are the first human to discover this."
What is amazing is not the huge amount of work like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but that billions of years have not been able to smooth out its water chestnuts, or even leave a single scratch on its body.
"This is a cemetery..."
"Actually, there's not just one way to get here."
Moving forward with trembling steps, Professor Vernal passed the stunned Schultz and walked to the nearest stone monument. The old professor stretched out his trembling right hand, as if stroking a handicraft, and pressed his palm against the flat and smooth surface.
"Where are the Martians?"
A piece of debris was knocked out along the crack. Professor Vernal took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then analyzed it seriously.
"I don't see the point of this test."
After that, he took a step forward, came to the invisible wall, and slowly stretched out his right hand towards it.
"It took them 20,000 years."
"…cemetery?"
At least he had no idea there was any fun in it.
"No... But you ask this, it seems you have already met them?"
"Twenty thousand years... that's really a long time."
Professor Vernal nodded. After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out the multifunctional shovel he had picked up earlier and swung it with all his strength.
"This is a very interesting question. Someone once asked me this a long time ago... At that time, you were probably just cells."
After a pause, he continued.
What is amazing is not the huge amount of work like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, but that billions of years have not been able to smooth out its water chestnuts, or even leave a single scratch on its body.
"From the tribal days to the information age, they were almost close to the truth, but unfortunately, those little guys were too conceited about their own power, and this heavy truth ultimately destroyed them."
"God... it's incredible."
After that, he reached out and pressed a few buttons on the wrist-mounted computer.
"Do you even need to ask?"
Lu Zhou continued to fumble with his hands on the invisible wall. With an expression of interest on his face, Lu Zhou asked casually.
"Disasters are man-made, and some are caused by nature... If you want to know, you will know after you pass the barrier in front of you. Some information is saved there. If you are interested, you can give them as gifts. take away."
"I'm lucky enough to have met him once."
"Or, actually, this is not a cemetery."
It doesn't matter if you don't have a complete map.
Even though he had discovered many miracles in the civilized world, he had never been as deeply shocked by what he saw today as he was today.
"What happened to them?"
"Do you even need to ask?"
After a few dinging sounds, the mirror-smooth stone finally couldn't withstand the knocks and fell apart like broken tofu pieces along the point where the shovel landed.
At least he had no idea there was any fun in it.
"Yes, but this is the fastest," the voice continued with a hint of joy. "There is more than one way to solve the problem. It is to traverse all the results and exhaustively solve the problem in infinite possibilities. Finding a way out is one of the joys of exploration. Of course, you can also be as opportunistic as you are now and let yourself flow with the bubble in the four-dimensional space, but it has to be said that this requires not only courage and wisdom, but also a lot of responsibility. risks of."
"Maybe it's some kind of special religious ceremony, maybe it's a sacrifice to that sacred relic..."
The voice was somewhat nostalgic as he continued.
"…cemetery?"
"Disasters are man-made, and some are caused by nature... If you want to know, you will know after you pass the barrier in front of you. Some information is saved there. If you are interested, you can give them as gifts. take away."
As long as these four-dimensional space fragments interfere with this three-dimensional space, there are certain rules.
Taking a deep breath, Professor Vernal carefully put the collected samples into the sample bag he carried with him, and put a label on it containing information such as the sampling location.
Schultz is quite skeptical that with the current technology on earth, it may not be possible to excavate such a huge ruins on the seabed several kilometers below.
Although only a small part of the surveying and mapping of the ruins tunnel has been completed. After all, the maximum exploration distance of the wire-controlled remote control vehicle operated by Fan Tong is only one kilometer, but it is enough for Lu Zhou.
Even though he had discovered many miracles in the civilized world, he had never been as deeply shocked by what he saw today as he was today.
"That shouldn't take long."
"Twenty thousand years... that's really a long time."
Seeing Professor Vernal making such an inference, Schultz's Adam's apple moved slightly with a shocked expression on his face, and he spoke with difficulty after a long while.
Just when Professor Vernal and Schultz were so shocked by what they discovered that they almost forgot the purpose of their trip, Lu Zhou, who was standing in an empty cave, finally heard the voice from another civilization.
A piece of debris was knocked out along the crack. Professor Vernal took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then analyzed it seriously.
"I believe you are already standing here. It should not be difficult to pass the last test."
Putting his hand on the nearest stone tablet, Professor Vernal murmured to himself, "Cemeteries belonging to civilization... It is hard to imagine how they have remained intact during these long years, and who and why This miracle was accomplished.”

The voice was somewhat nostalgic as he continued.
…
There was a hint of curiosity in the voice, as if he was anticipating Lu Zhou's next move.
Vernal swore.
"Yes," Lu Zhou nodded, "I have turned on the file transfer function. If you can successfully receive the data, you should be able to see my proof. If there is anything you don't understand, I can also explain it. for you."

"That shouldn't take long."
Carrying out such a large project on the seabed is not an easy task.
The voice was somewhat nostalgic as he continued.
Those zigzag lines correspond to the passages in the ruins, which are the things he showed in the conference room before.
"Twenty thousand years... that's really a long time."
It was an open space comparable to a football field, with a ceiling height of about a hundred feet. Square stone monuments were like chess pieces on a chessboard, dotted around almost the entire open space. The smooth and flat surface like a mirror, as well as the sharp edges and corners like a knife, are like handicrafts carved by thespians.
After pondering for a long time, an expression of interest suddenly appeared in Lu Zhou's eyes, and he said to himself thoughtfully.
"It took them 20,000 years."
