Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Sealed Artifact
The mission of the Pioneer Robots is accomplished, and they obediently stand aside to make way for the working robots. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The working robots shrank themselves into a rectangle similar to the size of a crack, and were then forced into it by the Pioneer robots.
At this pace for only a few minutes, the robot team suddenly stopped, as if something unusual had happened in the pyramid, causing the archaeological expedition to suspend its operations and reconsider its exploration plans.
After about ten minutes, the Pioneer Robot went crazy again and began to dig the wall, and at the cost of the two Pioneer Robots being scrapped directly, the hole was barely chiseled to half a meter square.
At this moment, more than a dozen fist-sized exploration saucers were dropped from the spaceship, and one after another flew into the hollow.
Zhang Yuntian knew that the time was ripe, and now that the threat was eliminated by the archaeological team, he opened the door to the inside of the pyramid for himself, if he didn't do it at this time, it would be too late for the robot to find the ancient artifact.
No one knows what an ancient artifact looks like or what it does, and it would be very bad if the archaeological team used it against themselves.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuntian didn't care about exposing his whereabouts, with a little force on his legs, he shuttled freely among the pyramid groups of mountains, jumped, and came to the core spire in just a few clicks, kicked the only remaining pioneer robot into pieces, and then shot straight into the desert under the action of gravity.
He was moving so fast, and the team couldn't have imagined that a human could adapt to hundreds of times the force of gravity and come and go here.
Before they could react, Zhang Yuntian slipped into the pyramid with both feet together and followed the hole.
The whole pyramid is a hollow structure, and after entering from the outer wall, there is no place to focus at all, and it falls straight from a height of tens of meters to the ground.
The altitude here was much higher than the depth at which Zhang Yuntian had sunk before, so he was still able to move here easily, and even if he fell from a high place, he did not suffer any damage, and he didn't even make a sound.
The material of the ground is strange, neither like stone nor metal, but at the same time it has the properties of both, and it is likely that it is a new substance that has not yet been discovered by humans.
The interior of the pyramid resembles a huge palace, black and hollow, illuminated only by a glimmer of light from the entrance from above.
The ground is full of robots stuffed through holes, they can withstand a thousand times the gravity, falling from this height, of course, not to be broken, from the indicators on their bodies can see that the system is working normally, but they are one by one stunned to stay in place, even the flying flying saucer, is suspended in mid-air motionless.
It's likely that some kind of interference here is affecting the communication between the robot and the ship, or it may be due to the effect of ancient artifacts that prevent them from functioning properly.
But the strange interference here did not have the slightest effect on Zhang Yuntian, he walked around and found that this was only the top floor of the entire pyramid, and there was also space for stairs to lead to the lower floor.
The further down it stretched, the dimmer the light became, and after turning a few corners, it was almost pitch black in front of him, and Zhang Yuntian could only hold on to the wall and carefully explore the way with his senses.
But this situation did not last long, he only felt that the walls, the steps and the ceiling suddenly lit up, although not as bright as the lights, but he could see the things around him seven or eight points clearly.
This is the role of the final evolutionary genes again, Zhang Yuntian has gained the ability to see at night, and can detect faint light that cannot be observed by the naked eye.
The staircase spirals downward, with no end in sight, and no trace of how far it will be to get to the end, but there is no other quick way to get to the bottom than by taking the stairs.
What's more, if the bottom here is deeper than the previous position where Zhang Yuntian sank, the sudden appearance of huge gravity is likely to crush Zhang Yuntian, and going on step by step like this is just enough to allow the body to adapt to the oppression caused by the intensified gravity.
And just in the desert outside the spire, there are dozens of giant scorpions lurking, who dares to guarantee that there will be no other more dangerous things lurking near the ancient artifact?
So Zhang Yuntian is not in a hurry, anyway, the archaeological team is at a loss now, the machinery and equipment can't be used, and people can't get down, it's completely in a hurry, if they are smart enough, they should continue to wait outside, waiting for Zhang Yuntian to come out with good news.
I don't know where to go, and time always flies slowly.
Zhang Yuntian didn't know how long he had walked, and finally reached the lowest end of the stairs, and a long corridor more than fifty meters long appeared in front of him, with a mural painted on both sides.
If it is a text, Zhang Yuntian probably can't understand it, but pictures are such a thing, suitable for any race and any intelligent life to read, and can be regarded as a universal language.
I saw that there were many origins of different sizes drawn on it, some of them were glowing, some were pitch black, and some were full of life, which should refer to a certain galaxy.
Zhang Yuntian read it little by little, and gradually understood the meaning of the mural.
About more than five billion years ago, before the formation of this ghost star, the entire universe was eroded by an evil creature.
The shape of this creature is strange, like the Zerg in the interstellar game, let's just call it that.
Wherever the Zerg went, they wantonly plundered resources and even drew energy from the earth's core, causing green spaces to become deserts, destroying vibrant planets, destroying countless civilizations, and brutally exterminating countless intelligent races.
The owner of the pyramid, as the most technologically advanced race at that time, joined hands with other civilizations to launch the final counterattack against the Zerg.
The battle was fought so fiercely that they eventually launched a surprise attack and killed the Empress of the Zerg before defeating them in one fell swoop.
I thought that this would end the war, but it backfired, although the Zerg lost the empress and began to retreat, but it didn't take long for some powerful bugs to mutate into empresses again, and three or four empresses with their loyalists began to fight among themselves, but this intra-race battle did not last long, and in the end a strong empress won, and the other empresses were broken down into fertilizer.
In this way, the Zerg were united again, and the war of the destroyed civilization was launched for the second time.
The owner of the pyramid had to join the battle again, and this battle was even more tragic than the last one, because in the process of fighting, the Zerg gradually evolved a shell that can resist high-intensity radiation, high heat, and there are also devourers who feed on energy, these things are extremely difficult, and the more fierce the firepower, the more powerful they become, and they can only be killed by melee physical damage.
In short, the owner of the pyramid relied on high technology and also analyzed the weaknesses of the Zerg, and finally defeated the empress again.
This battle wiped out the advanced civilizations of the entire universe, and the only remaining advanced beings hid at the edge of the universe and devoted themselves to research and leapfrogging to higher latitudes.
The owner of the pyramid knew that if he killed the Empress, a new Empress would always appear, so he imprisoned her in a planet built with an artificial black hole as the core, and built a pyramid-shaped prison out of corrosive materials for the Zerg.
Because he wasn't sure if this would really be able to stifle the Zerg, he didn't seal the exit, but left a way out, and if the Zerg broke out again, he could wake up the old empress and use it to resist the invasion of the new Zerg.
In order to achieve this strategic intention, the owner of the pyramid fused the empress with his own body through extremely cutting-edge genetic technology, and her mind was broken up and reorganized, becoming a "weapon" that could be used!
The final picture of the mural depicts a ball with a half-worm, half-human creature curled up inside.
Zhang Yuntian looked at the stone door at the end of the corridor, and couldn't help but hesitate, the mural has already made it very clear, what is behind this is the strongest creature that almost destroyed the entire universe, although it was also said that the empress was reorganized, but this reorganization was an experiment with the medium of sacrificing the developer, that is to say, after the experiment was completed, no one evaluated the effect of the experiment at all, and the above was just the purpose of an experiment.
Who can guarantee success the first time? After all, the empress is the dual ruler of the body and spirit of the Zerg, and in the game, this creature has super spiritual power, and it can be said that it is a high-level species beyond the human level.
Zhang Yuntian hesitated again and again, and suddenly there was a sound of the mechanism turning, and the stone door actually opened by itself!
Then a familiar feeling emanated from it, making Zhang Yuntian feel very safe, and all those hesitations and hesitations just now disappeared.
Curiously, he took a few steps inside, it was a tall and wide space, and in the middle of the ground there was a stream of golden liquid, and in the middle of the stream, there was a half-man-high platform, on which stood a round stone the size of a rugby ball.
The shape of this stone is exactly the same as that painted on the mural, except that the outer wall forms a jade-like outer film, which looks crystal clear, and if you haven't read the description, you will definitely think that it is a flawless jade with a high texture.
Since you've come in, let's give it a try, anyway, I'm trapped in the ghost star, if I can't escape, sooner or later I will die, it's better to gamble once, the big deal is to be killed by the empress, no matter how you die, it's much more painful than slowly starving to death here in the ghost star, enduring the torment of despair and dying.
Zhang Yuntian came to the stone egg of the sealing empress to take a closer look, and found that this stone egg and the abutment were connected together, and the abutment was continuously transporting golden liquid into the stone egg, it seemed that this should be an energy supply device, if it was dismantled, it would damage the empress inside.
He circled around the abutment a few times, and suddenly noticed that there was a faint thin line at the point where the back of the stone egg and the abutment touched, leading to a hemispherical pit at the edge of the abutment.
Without any hints, Zhang Yuntian felt that he should fill this small pit with blood in order to activate the empress.
There was no reason for this idea, but he felt it in his heart, and he did it unconsciously.
When the small pit was filled with Zhang Yuntian's blood, the blood suddenly seemed to be alive, flowing straight towards the stone egg along the not very clear thin line, and extending along the outer wall of the stone egg, as if forming blood vessels to supply blood to the empress inside.
Whenever the blood flows to a certain point, it will burrow into the stone egg, leaving no trace.
When all the blood flowed and completed their mission, the stone eggs suddenly moved, and then there was a chisel sound from inside, and with a snap, a small hole was smashed out of the eggshell facing Zhang Yuntian, and then a snake-like creature more than ten centimeters long crawled out.
This thing is like an earthworm, with no head, no tail, and no facial features, but it is covered in mucus and looks slippery.
It excitedly circled around the stone eggshell a few times, and then returned to the position where it broke out of the shell again, raised half of its body, and seemed to be looking at Zhang Yuntian.
"I released you, you should follow my orders!"
Zhang Yuntian tried to use human language to communicate with the empress's cubs.
Even dogs, low-level creatures on the earth, can understand human language, and the empress, as a high-level life form in the universe, should not be worse than dogs!
The empress squirmed, then nodded as if she understood.
Zhang Yuntian was stupid now, he didn't expect this thing to be so anthropomorphic, it felt like an existence only in cartoons, he opened his mouth and just wanted to say something more, but the empress's young body slammed into his mouth.
The latter only felt a cold, soft object flowing down his throat and through his esophagus into his stomach.
Suddenly, his stomach churned, and then he could feel that the thing seemed to turn into countless small droplets, which flowed down the stomach wall into the blood vessels, and flowed into every organ of the body, muscles and tissues.
Many of these droplets remain in the body, and eventually only a small part of them enter the brain in the direction of the blood flow.
Zhang Yuntian only felt a headache, and then countless illusions appeared in front of him, all kinds of strange creatures, and their DNA chains, like a slide in front of him quickly played, followed by all kinds of scientific and technological weapons, spaceships, fortifications, and then countless planets, as if he was standing in the center of the universe, countless galaxies floating around him like small light bulbs.
All of a sudden, these things suddenly disappeared again, leaving Zhang Yuntian standing in place unfinished, as if the entire universe was in his hands. (To be continued.) )
