Basically, all the sculptures were damaged—some of them were so fragmented that they could not be restored. Even with the computing power of the data terminal, the missing parts of the statues and reliefs could not be repaired out of thin air.
Hao Ren could only restore the data terminals to their original appearance as much as possible.
The data terminal floats in mid-air, and a light blue light curtain is projected into the air a few meters in front of it. When the light curtain is shrouded, time seems to be reversed. Broken sculptures and incomplete reliefs are reconstructed into images and placed in the Where they were supposed to be, the vines and moss were removed by the image filter system, revealing the original appearance of the walls and columns. Only less than one-third of the scene can be restored. In the part that cannot be restored, the blue light curtain projects The big flakes represent "unknown data" dithering shadows.
Hao Ren saw human sculptures: male, female, old and young, of all races. They were neatly arranged on both sides of the entrance to the hall, as if they were standing there for the purpose of displaying standard models of humans.
Further forward is the "star map" about the position of the planets. It is engraved on a metal plate with a length and width of five meters. The metal plate stands in front of the human sculpture like a screen. Not only are the planets and stars marked on it The relative position of the star map, and many things are marked with various symbols. After a simple translation by the data terminal, it is found that those symbols are all explaining the meaning of this star map.
"It looks like this is really a 'guestbook'," Hao Ren muttered while rubbing his chin, "I guess there should be more than one building like this on this planet... Perhaps every large city center has a building like this A 'museum'?"
Vivienne shook her head: "We'll have to wait until we can find more ruins."
A group of four finally stopped in front of a set of reliefs.
"It should be this one." Lily pointed to the picture on the relief with her fire finger, her golden eyes sparkling.
On the screen restored by the data terminal, Hao Ren saw a very familiar scene: huge tentacles growing from the depths of the earth, and the tentacles shook the entire continental structure, causing devastating floods and earthquakes. In front of the disaster, it was destroyed in pieces, buildings collapsed, bridges collapsed, and countless magnificent buildings were destroyed.
After the continuous natural disasters, there is the coming of the blood tide: the relief depicts this scene in a very vivid way. Large swaths of shadows cover the world where human beings live, and all kinds of creatures distort and melt in front of the shadows, turning into chaotic chaos. Lines and clumps, people who see these pictures for the first time may be a little confused, but Hao Ren can tell at a glance that this is depicting the process of creatures being swallowed and fused by blood tides.
In the last few parts of the relief, Hao Ren saw the resistance process of the native creatures on this planet—they seemed to have built a huge steel fortress, relying on completely isolating themselves from the external ecological environment to resist the attack of the eldest son, But just like what happened on the planet Tanagus, these steel fortresses fell quickly; they also sent a large number of mechanical troops to attack the tentacles protruding from the surface, but such a counterattack could only delay the disaster: Because they live on the body of the World Destroyer, the enemy is the entire world they live in, everywhere, and there is no escape.
"Look here," Vivienne pointed to the end of the relief. Due to the serious defect of this part, the picture restored by the data terminal also appeared blurred, but there were still some things in the blurred picture that could be seen clearly. On the screen, there is an obvious scene of a spaceship launching into space, "They seem to have built a large spaceship and launched a large number of people and materials into space, but there has been no follow-up after that."
Hao Ren showed a thoughtful expression. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the picture on the relief, but his finger passed through the light curtain projected by the data terminal, and what he finally touched was only a layer of rough corroded metal. : "Judging from these pictures, the indigenous civilization on this planet was indeed destroyed by the eldest son. Until the final part of the picture, the eldest son still had an overwhelming advantage...but I don't know what happened in the thousands of years after that. The planet has become what we see today, the ecological environment seems to have recovered, although the eldest son is still active, but it has not continued to destroy the ecological circle, and... "
"And there are also those 'survivors' who drove bombers and fought with the tentacles," Nangong Wuyue patted the ground with his tail, "something must have happened after the time of these reliefs, which changed the direction of subsequent events."
Hao Ren nodded: "This planet is different from the ones we have seen before. It seems that we need to study it carefully."
In the subsequent exploration, they visited almost every corner of the building. Although they found some things, they did not find any more valuable clues.
On the top floor of the building, they found some secret rooms that were sealed and completely wrapped with special alloys. After cutting the shells of these secret rooms, Hao Ren found some ancient equipment that had been completely damaged and could not be repaired, and some The remains of human beings who may have been the operators of the equipment, after identification, the data terminal confirmed that all the operators died by suicide.
The secret chambers are completely sealed, and not only cannot be opened from the outside, but from a structural point of view, it is impossible for the people inside to come out after the locking device falls, so these secret chambers have been tombs from the beginning of design. Vivienne guessed that the people staying in these secret rooms should be the last batch of city guards, they are here to control the last batch of defense forces of the city through various equipment, and after all the defense facilities are destroyed, they are in these Takes his own life in a "safe house".
In the part of the building that has sunk into the ground, Nangong Wuyue found some ancient computer rooms and reactors that were half submerged in water by manipulating the water elements. They should be the "brain" and "heart" of this ancient facility. Soaked in water and over the years, the computer room has become a pile of scrap metal that has completely lost its value. Hao Ren originally hoped to find some chips that store information from those ancient machines, but in the end he found nothing.
As for the completely destroyed reactor... The data terminal can only judge that it is a highly efficient fusion furnace, but the specific technical details cannot be restored.
Exploration continued until nightfall of the day.
After finishing the exploration of the quadrangular pyramid building, Hao Ren and his party also checked several other places in the city and found a large pile of abandoned machines and weapon wreckage. Lily even found an exquisite ship model. Vivian I think it should be a toy played by children back then. From an archaeological point of view, their follow-up explorations can be described as fruitful, but from the point of view of uncovering the historical truth, only the things seen in the previous "sculpture hall" are the most valuable parts.
Since the existence of the eldest son was confirmed, the natural environment in the wild was no longer safe. Hao Ren gave up his plan to spend the night between the ruins and the wild forest. To the spaceship.
The people on the spaceship have been waiting all day in boredom. Due to the damage of the central mainframe, Nolan had to transfer all the computing power to the repair system, so the people who stayed behind on the spaceship didn't even have to watch a movie, which was boring. Everyone: especially the lively Elizabeth, the little girl dangled in the spaceship with a screwdriver all day when she was bored, scaring Nolan enough.
Probably just rolled this day to live more comfortably. As a cat, at least a cat in spirit, she has not cultivated too many messy hobbies that belong to humans. She spends half of the day napping on her stomach. The other half is spent working with a ball of yarn. To be honest, the other people who stayed on the spaceship were very envious of this stupid cat. It would be great if they all had her kindness. One person can play with a ball of wool forever...
All in all, the return of Hao Ren and his party immediately ignited the spirits of Elizabeth and Nangong Sanba. Even Doudou jumped over and jumped on Hao Ren to ask the latter what he found after going out all day.
"I found a lot of things, but can you let me take a breath first?" Hao Ren waved Elizabeth and Nangong Sanba aside, and looked around the bridge after he sat on his captain's seat. I found that many things that were destroyed before have now "grown" as before, "Nolan, is the regeneration going well?"
"It's smoother than expected," Nolan's voice came from all around, "Because there is no external interference, the repair work of this ship can proceed at full speed."
"Is there any signal response to rediscovering the indigenous civilization of this planet?"
"Except for the group of air units you encountered during the day, this ship has not found any more signal responses."
"Hmm... well, there's no rush," Hao Ren waved his hand, "We found some messages left by the ancients in the ruins of the city..."
A group of people gathered on the bridge, listening to Hao Ren's group of four talking about their discoveries during this expedition. Except for Doudou and Roll, who made up the numbers, everyone was actively using their brains, thinking about what lies behind those reliefs. meaning, as well as the information revealed by the few aircraft that appeared during the day.
Y'zaks was the first to speak: "Those reliefs should be recorded by the last group of leftovers left on the planet. After the spaceship lifted off, they retreated to these cities and left behind in the last time. Sculptures and reliefs. This would explain why the content of the reliefs ends abruptly after the escape ship lifts off: those who left the reliefs have no idea what happened after that."
"I think so too," Hao Ren nodded, "The spaceship they launched should only take away a part of the population, perhaps less than one-tenth of the total population—the remaining large population will stay on the planet. Those left behind should have resisted for a while after the spaceship lifted off, until the eldest son completely destroyed all the defense lines, during this time, they had time to leave enough information for the latecomers."
Nangong Sanba interjected: "But the city was not completely destroyed by the eldest son—although it is indeed in ruins now, it is obviously more caused by the passage of time. If it was caused by the eldest son, the entire city It should be more thoroughly destroyed."
"So I suspect that the destruction process of the eldest son did not go to the last step," Hao Ren expressed his conjecture, "after the extinction of the human beings on the planet, the activities of the eldest son probably stopped—that's why those relatively well-preserved urban ruins and entire ecosystems.”
If not, Hao Ren and his party should have seen a more desolate world when they came here.
Vivienne mentioned another matter at this time: "Talk about the aircraft that you saw during the day, what do you think?"
"Survivors," Lily didn't think much at this time, "what else could it be?"
"'Survivors' is fine, but the key is... Where did they come from?" Hao Ren tapped his finger on the armrest of the seat, "Are they the descendants of the rebel organization that stayed on the surface of the planet, or... That group of people in the sky?"
