Although Sandora and I really want to search the entire planet and kidnap a few tree elves who look like their ancestors and come back for questioning, but doing so recklessly will definitely cause some problems, so we have to do things step by step , at least you can’t just disappear and leave Celine and a large group of people aside: According to Aoba’s situation, a serious radioactive disaster has occurred in that ancient ruins 100%, and it might plan to explode again at any time, even though Celine It seems that Sandora and I are still quite uneasy with the knowledge of disposal in this area.
It only takes a second to teleport from the Admiral Empire to the surface. In the flash of light and shadow, we came to the lush virgin forest again from the silver-white high-tech battleship cabin. To the traces left by the group of adventurers passing by.
"Hehe, you left us a road sign, Celine is quite careful." I just wanted to sense the position of the ancient tower with the Sandora ball in my hand, and then flew directly over, when I saw a small tree not far away. There's a prominent white symbol, apparently reserved for us.
It’s easy to say that there are road signs, and we are rushing all the way under our feet. After a while, Sandora and I heard the movement of people from the depths of the dense forest ahead, and we could vaguely see a large natural barrier composed of ancient trees. There seemed to be an open field behind it.
At this moment, I have come to a very deep place in the forest.
Going around a tree wall, we met Celine at the edge of a forest clearing.
"Yo, Celine." I greeted Sandora from the side with my arms in my arms. Before I got close, I saw Celine clenched the particle rifle vigilantly, but this combat nun version of the alien female warrior saw me and Sandora put down her weapon: "Mr. Scholar? And Miss Egg... Oh, Miss Sandora, I didn't expect you to catch up so soon. Did you follow the safe route I left?"
"Ah, I saw the road sign you left." I let go of Sandora and let her float freely beside me, and agreed casually.
Seeing my normal expression, Celine's expression changed slightly, and finally she couldn't help asking in a low voice: "You guys came here so quickly, so... that elf girl left without too much pain, right? In the forest Falling down is also a good home for elves."
"Eh..." I just came to my senses, and realized that the expression on my face seemed a little too relaxed and heartless. It stands to reason that even if I don't feel sad at this time, I should show a little bit of concern. That's right, after all, from Celine's point of view, I just gave hospice care to a miserable elf girl—but I know that the elf girl named Aoba is about to be resurrected, so why do I feel like that? Qi Qiran is here.
"Well, Qingye is very calm now, that's it, very peaceful, so let's stop talking about disturbing her 'sleep'." After causing so much trouble, he finally found a sense of heaviness.
Celine didn't think much, just bowed her head and made a strange gesture as if she was praying: "Is that so... the elf fell down in the forest and has gained the most eternal peace. May she reach the embrace of the mother tree in the dreams of her people , may the god of technology bless her on this journey."
After finishing this short prayer, Celine raised her head and turned to look at the buildings beside her: "Okay, the dead are gone, let's take a look at this place... haunted by curses. It seems that we have to enter from the front. gone."
In fact, I wanted to tell Celine directly the truth that a certain elf had been resurrected, but considering that after all, not everyone's three views are suitable for the post-disaster reconstruction route, and I don't bother to make up a lot of excuses to explain why it hurts. Such a person can survive, so I simply left this part of the topic vague. Anyway, I didn’t say that Aoba is dead. Everything is made up by Celine, and the possibility of the two meeting again in the future Not too big.
Even if we meet, I am not afraid, Sandora and I will definitely not be in the local area at that time...
The scale of the "ancient tower" is larger than I imagined: I thought it was a communication antenna, at most there were a few sentry posts next to it, but I didn't expect this place to be a place similar to a base.
The open forest land with a length of one or two kilometers and a width of one to two kilometers was obviously opened up artificially. The ground of the whole area was covered with a kind of gray-white artificial hard material. The high-end cement is more than one grade, and it is precisely because the entire base is covered with such a ground that this wide land has not been completely swallowed up by the surrounding forest for thousands of years. There are large and small independent houses distributed on this flattened open land. All the buildings have different styles from those of the small town outside the forest. These houses are square prisms with sharp edges and corners. Wider, it looks like some sort of desert building, or a slender flat-topped pyramid. All the buildings are gray and white. Due to the age, it is impossible to see whether they have ever had a bright appearance, but judging from their grand scale, it can be judged that there were once a large number of garrison personnel here.
Most of the buildings are multi-storey houses, but the height of the floors is basically limited. If the windows on their exteriors can accurately correspond to the number of floors, then the tallest independent buildings only have five floors, but are only tens of meters high. In this comparison, the one in the center of the base A four- to five-hundred-meter-high four-prism-shaped broadcast tower is particularly "magnificent", just like the Burj Khalifa in the urban-rural fringe... Please don't hit me if I don't have a high level of examples.
This is what remains of an ancient civilization, and that tall tower is what is known as the Ancient Tower: an oversized communication facility.
Of course, the state of this ruin is not very good. Even if it is so strong that it has not collapsed or been completely swallowed by the forest for tens of thousands of years, most of its buildings are still covered by vines, moss, mud and other traces of time. , these things that don't need to take root spread from the surrounding forest, decorating the entire ruins with an atmosphere full of doomsday, and in this building complex full of the sense of apocalypse, three locations can be seen Smoke billowed.
Some buildings were damaged by the explosion, leaving only a bunch of twisted frames in place, and the things around the buildings were also affected by the aftermath, as if they were bombed by heavy aerial bombs. The solid surface of the base was torn open with many large cracks, A tangle of sparks and smoke billowed from within, as if conditions were worse deep underground than on the surface. Obviously, the explosion was carried out simultaneously on the ground and underground. The adventurers at that time must have accidentally touched something like a fuel delivery pipe to cause this chain explosion.
And the largest of these three explosion points happened to be very close to the "Ancient Tower", so it formed a large pile of collapse zones around the entrance of the Ancient Tower. Seriously exceeded.
I don't know what kind of radioactive material was used in the ancient civilization, and it hasn't decayed after tens of thousands of years (maybe a special preservation method was used?), I just want to know which genius decided to put the giant A large amount of radioactive material is directly piled up in the surface warehouse, and it is near the center of the base. The radiation storage station that can spread more than half of the base in this explosion is a stroke of genius. The base designer should be a funny guy invited by the monkey, right
"Perhaps the ancients who designed this base were not afraid of radioactivity? Scorpion soldiers also like to drink helium three," Sandora Ball had no idea, she just scanned the base structure roughly, and then floated to Celine, "Aoba... That is, the elf girl said that her boyfriend was trapped underground, if the boy is smarter, he should still be alive, did you find any underground entrance?"
"It's right at the base of the ancient tower, next to the big explosion crater," Celine pointed to the huge lump of hot slag in the distance with the particle rifle in her hand, "Whether it's to shut down the tower on the surface or go underground To save people, you must enter from there, but it is blocked by slag, and those residues have a strong... curse power, so you can't approach it rashly."
As Celine spoke, she took out a small device from her waist, and took a few steps forward with the device, the long black box issued a loud alarm sound, it turned out that it was a radiation detection device.
Fortunately, Celine was well-prepared. The Lost God Cult in this world at least taught their clergy well. Celine knew how harmful things like radiation are. Otherwise, if a large group of adventurers rushed over rashly, it would be almost The corpses are all over the place. Here is serious and intense radiation. Although the effective distance does not seem to be too far, it seems that only ten minutes of close contact is enough to cause organ collapse.
"I went to clear the radiation, and then went underground to find someone. You are responsible for shutting down this communication tower on the surface... Oh, it's the ancient tower." Sandora said casually, and then flew forward.
Of course, Celine was instantly taken aback!
"Don't go there!" The single mother fighting nun hurriedly reached out to grab the Sandora ball, "Cursed! Dangerous!"
Sandora's ball is so round that it's impossible to handle it, and no one in the world can hold her except me, so Her Majesty the Queen just floated away a little and slipped away from Celine's hand: "Don't worry, I became After this, I still have some special skills... Well, that's it, it's all the fault of ancient magic!"
Once again irresponsibly pushing all the problems to the dead ancient civilizations, Sandora drifted unsteadily towards the pile of radioactive waste that was still emitting thick smoke hundreds of meters away, and Celine threw her at me. Looking nervous and suspicious, I just smiled at her: "Don't worry, Sandora is capable."
"But I haven't heard of any magic that can dispel ancient curses!" Celine emphasized, "The cardinals of the God Religion don't have this ability. Ancient curses need special equipment to isolate them."
"Look at the curse that Sandora has lost even her body?" I casually said a plausible excuse and stopped entangled with Celine, but observed the skyscraper in the distance with great interest. A tall tower like a building.
There are some huge expansion structures at the top of this tall tower, from where the intense electromagnetic radiation is released, and it is becoming more and more unstable as time goes by, some of the expansion structures show obvious signs of overheating, and I am afraid that it will still be delayed if it continues. More serious problems can occur. This tower is obviously a communication facility, but when it is out of control, it will cause such a great harm... Its power is a bit beyond imagination. Communication in the atmosphere cannot use this kind of power, even if it is used to communicate with those space stations in orbit The communication is also a bit wasteful, that is to say, this thing is used in the star system
The "ancient tower" releases electromagnetic waves, so it communicates within the speed of light. The speed of light delay means that it is not suitable for too long distances, so now it can roughly limit its scope of action to the star system, or a little smaller: this planet Within the range of the nearest planet near it, I fiddled with the few cutting-edge knowledge in my mind, and finally judged that this should be something like a "lighthouse".
The lighthouse is used to guide the spaceships approaching the planet. Although it is not known why this dangerous thing was built on the surface instead of space, its function is basically determined. However, there is still a problem that cannot be explained: why is this ancient tower different from those space stations in space? This is already the first technical style that Sandora and I have seen on this planet
Think about it, the space station in space has obvious plant decorations. Although it is very different from the tree elf equipment we saw on the green star, it can also be regarded as a variant of the tree elf creation after a few years. The black particle rifle in Celine's hands has rounded lines and simple decoration, which looks like an alien weapon that popped out of a Hollywood sci-fi film ten years ago. The communication base in front of us has rigid lines and an atmospheric architectural layout , I think it is like the Aztec civilization after the magic reform (don’t ask me how I think of this, my brain is still in a mess!)
The above three relics all have obvious high-tech traces, so we can easily confirm one point: the tree elves back then were not the strongest on this planet, they were just one of the higher civilizations. Then you can think a little further: the tree elves themselves are aliens, so will there be aliens in other advanced civilizations on this planet
And don't forget that the northern archipelago still has a lot of antiquities left over from the heyday of magic technology: this planet may have had a magic civilization as advanced as a technological civilization in the past!
A large number of advanced civilizations seem to be stuffed into a small planet, as if they were deliberately kept in captivity by someone. Each civilization seems to have the ability to navigate space, but they have all declined, and the glory of civilization has dimmed. A pile of ruined walls and a group of decayed survivors who planed food in the soil. The survivors dare not even touch the things used by their ancestors... By this point, I have already imagined the history of blood and tears and conspiracy theories for more than 3,000 years. If Lilina is here, that girl's mind is even more serious.
At this moment, Sandora has come to the sky above a large pile of radioactive slag. Under the terrified gaze of Celine and a group of adventurers, the golden light ball began to "grow up" slowly, and then "grow up", and finally... finally expanded to a diameter of Seven or eight meters huge.
Then she threw her whole "body" on the ground, rolled on the spot several times, and then... devoured all those deadly slag.
I ate it... It's big! Didn't it say that Soul Spark can't eat? Can't even pretend to eat!
"Send a little more power here, let the spiritual spark evolve, so that a higher degree of physical interference can be performed," Sandora said in the spiritual connection while slowly shrinking in size, and the voice seemed to be still intact. Satisfied, "It's a pity that I still don't have the real feeling of eating, and the decomposed matter becomes energy and is directly lost into the void."
My face twitched, and my neck turned to Celine stiffly: "Hehe—the slag has been cleaned up, look at the radiation readings, uh, how about the curse."
Only then did Celine recover from Sandora's astonishing eating scene. She tremblingly glanced at the seemingly harmless golden ball of light, and then decisively chose to believe that it was still the fault of ancient civilizations, and then looked down at her hand. The small equipment... In fact, it’s nothing to look at. The situation is obvious. The explosion crater that was full of slag before is now as clean as a dog licks it. There is no radiation.
... What the hell did I just say!
"Let's go up and solve the things in the tower," Celine nodded to me, and then led a group of adventurers towards the tower, commanding loudly as they walked, "Be vigilant! There are usually steel in these ancient ruins." Guards, fight if you can, and withdraw quickly if you can't, our task is to close the facilities inside!"
The adventurers agreed with a loud bang, and then used a rather violent method to slam around the stuck gate at the bottom of the ancient tower. They used the "brave way" to create a passage, and quickly disappeared behind me. In front of Sandora.
"Let's go, look for that muscular demon first." I shrugged, and Sandora and I walked towards the entrance of the underground passage a hundred meters away. Opportunity."
Yes, the chance of "resurrection": Just now I had a general sense of the underground situation, and found that there was no breath of life. The muscular demon named Leon seemed to have died below, just like Aoba. at last. But as long as the opponent is not completely dead ("death" under Xiling technology), it is best to resurrect it.
The entrance of the underground passage is a tilted and half-buried metal frame, which looks a bit like the entrance of an underground pedestrian bridge. Just like all bento distribution scenes, its rusty and green mossy gate It's stuck, and the door can only smell the choking smell of smoke and fire, but these are not problems: this thing is as brittle as paper compared to the extraordinary alloy on the imperial battleship.
The Sandora ball floated to the middle of the stuck gate, then quickly softened and flattened under my numb gaze, penetrated into the crack of the door, and then changed back to the original spherical shape with a "bang", so the gate was given by her. ... directly shattered!
It was not deformed but shattered directly! This shows how fast the Sandora ball swelled just now... No, the crux of the problem is not here!
Sandora, your mind is about to catch up to Qianqian, right? RS
