Could it be that a predecessor of the South Pole Star has been here before? It should be. Otherwise, how did these scrolls come about? According to Mario, this is a rare form of writing, and it is expected that the Nornes are also very learned. Even if one of them had seen it before, it wouldn't necessarily translate it coherently.

I haven't seen it, so of course it's hard to translate.

Xiao An thought like this, and another question arose in his heart, I don't know if this senior is still alive? So, Mario, who was working on a translation, asked, "Let me interrupt you first, I suddenly want to know if the senior who drew this scroll is still there?" Does this scroll indicate when he left this scroll? Is it before or after going out? Was this scroll one of the possible ways out for his posterity, or had he managed to escape by virtue of it? ”

Eh, as soon as she asked, everyone's attention immediately focused on this place again, urging Mario to quickly find the key point, only to see Mario look at all the scrolls, and finally found a crucial sentence: "If you can understand all this scroll, you will be able to leave here!" ”

Thorough enough to get out of here?

"So, did he mention the time limit? Isn't there any danger that has been ruled out here, and we just need to concentrate on cracking the scroll? Xiao An asked, and then immediately added, "No, even if we don't have to worry about the Norn people killing them, but our resources are not enough!" Although there are all the supplies outside, the entrance has been sealed! Sooner or later, our food and water will run out! ”

"yes, Mario, if you take a closer look, is there a rule on how long you have to read these scrolls to be considered successful? Otherwise, even if we figure out the scroll, if there is no food, then we don't have to wait for death? Keya also felt that she had to figure out this problem before she could study these scrolls without distraction. Otherwise, it is tantamount to acting without a plan, and in the end the task is completed. But the time has come, and this task is equivalent to not being done.

"Well, everyone wait a minute, let me take a look!" Mario was also a little anxious by everyone's urging. He was originally very happy, and when he saw this scroll of hope, he ignored the time limit as soon as he was happy.

So, sometimes he really envy time, if time is alive. Or or. If he himself can not be limited by time, for example, no matter how others hurt him, he can still be fine, three heads and six arms, invulnerable, no one can let him die except voluntarily. Even if you are trapped in this ghost place, you can have the divine power to burst open the entrance and exit and lead everyone out of this place. Of course, if there really is such a good thing. Naturally, I also have to share some of my life for my relatives and friends.

But the question is, aren't you still just an Antarctica? If you are in Antarctica, with the conditions provided by the government, you can of course enjoy that kind of immortality in a relative sense. Perhaps because of this, despite the vast territory of Antarctica, their birth rate is still very low, because the corresponding mortality rate is also very low, so the people are very conscious of maintaining the status quo of the country and not letting the additional population affect the country's gross domestic product.

In other words, he has not returned to his hometown yet. There are no corresponding guarantees, and this group of people live or die here, and people will not care about it. At the moment, it is still necessary to crack the secret of this scroll as soon as possible. Even if the crisis here has been resolved, this scroll is after all a life-saving tip left by the predecessors for future generations at the moment of life and death, and it can't live up to the kindness of others.

"Ahh I found it! Mario finally found the answer in a thin line of small print, "It says that you just need to find the answer before all the models here work." Let's get out of here! ”

"Really? Is there really such a good thing? Xiao An was a little excited, but also a little worried, "Why can you definitely leave here as long as you go out from here?" As soon as we crack all these scrolls, this base will suddenly explode, and then there will be flying saucers waiting for us to return outside? ”

"Well, I can't say that, but that's what it says. I can't find a better way to do it for a while, so I think it's better to hurry up and study this scroll. Anyway, we already know that these models that destroy the solar system will work for a while, and once all of them are up and running, all our hopes will be lost. So, Xiao An, don't be suspicious anymore, it's good that we can have a way to try now, what, are you now questioning that these scrolls are forged by the Norn people? ”

Mario was worried that everyone had finally found a way, but the best time would be delayed because of everyone's suspicions, so he advised Xiao An to stop her anxiety immediately. Because at this time, no matter how uneasy you are, if you can't crack the secret of the scroll, it will be useless.

Thinking that the overall situation was the most important, Xiao An hurriedly said, "Yes, I know, then let's hurry up!" ”

She also knew that the scroll could never have been forged by the Norn, so she relieved herself and worked with everyone to study more secrets about the scrolls and models.

"It turns out that the ambitions of these Norn people are really big, in addition to what Fang Caiya told us, they actually prepared a few more, it is estimated that it may be just in case. In short, they have made up their minds, and it seems that they will not give up until they take the solar system! ”

Mario goes on to introduce the Norne's terrifying ambitions, and talks about another way to destroy the solar system, which is the Wind of Apocalypse.

In this way, the star is destroyed by evaporation, which can continuously emit heat, light, and particles into space, which are called the solar wind. If the star itself is massive and the solar wind around it is weak, the mass loss caused by these solar winds to the Sun is negligible. But if someone has the strength to upgrade the size of the ordinary solar wind, it is entirely possible that the star will dissolve. What's more, each star has its own solar wind at a different rate.

"Well, next, I'm going to hand over this work to Kya!" Mario smiled and said to everyone, "Keya, I'll translate these to you, and you can translate them to everyone, because the things involved are very professional." It's hard for a layman to explain to you! Alas, thanks to the fact that we are acting together, if it were just me and Hans who had come in, we might have to say goodbye! ”

Thereupon. After a while, Mario translated the words on the scroll to Keya in very simple language, and Keya also made a brief note, and then told everyone:

"That's what it says. We've got to get the Norn people to really develop those terrible solar winds and solve this problem. And the best way to stop them is to delve into the mechanics of faster particle flows in a very short period of time, because only then will it be possible to know how stars go from a steady state to a turbulent state. ”

"Well, you're right, but how do we have time to delve into that now? You see, that first model seems to be working now! Hans looked at the model that was already in operation and said worriedly.

It is not known if these models have been fitted with a timing device. Or because Xiao An took off those photos, it indirectly triggered their activation. In short, before this, everyone didn't feel anything unusual.

"Yes, I saw it!" Keya replied, "So, let's divide our troops into two ways for the time being, and we can't all stay here and study these scrolls!" I think we can divide it this way, Mario and I will get to the bottom of the reels first. A few of you can check to see if there are any other exits, or just keep an eye on the models if you can find a working button to turn them off. That's even better! ”

Everyone thinks that Khaya's proposal is good, so Ann and Hans are tasked with finding the other exits, while Mario's father and Old Diamond stare at the models for the suspicious buttons on them.

And on the way of Xiao An's walking, in order to be able to keep in touch at any time, and to be able to provide more help to their work. Keya has also been using megaphones and other means to let them hear her latest research:

"The Norn are working on the evaporation of stars with solar particle eruptions and so-called coronal mass ejections caused by sunspots," the scroll says.

"Huh? Xiao An, you said those Norn wouldn't really do that, right? Hans asked.

"Who knows, so we'd have to get out of here sooner! Otherwise, even if we already know their ambitions, what good can we do? Didn't they find their secrets in vain, but in the end they could only die with hatred? ”

"Well, you're right, but just a few of us have to shoulder such a heavy responsibility on our shoulders, and, like you and me, we are all laymen, I think this matter is too! If anyone comes to our rescue at this time, that's pretty much the same. But now, who can know what happened to us? Alas, I'm really tired, but I don't want to be discouraged! ”

Hans wasn't in a hurry to return to Earth before, it was because he hadn't tried to be trapped here, and now although he can still be with Kya, what is the use of being with him only for a moment if he can't go out? It's good to die with your beloved, but this beauty is too short, he would rather have returned to Earth with Keya, watch her and Lao Bai together every day, and then be heartbroken by himself, it is better than dying here without a name but with a bang.

Either way, at least when he returns to Earth, he will still have a chance to see her.

Seeing Hans's sadness, Xiao An had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder and comfort him, "Don't worry, we will get out alive, we will all get out alive!" Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, you have to have confidence in your choice, right? You must know that Keya's strength should not be underestimated! ”

Hans looked at Xiao An, who cheered him up, and suddenly felt so happy in his heart, as if he had everything he should have in this life, or at least he had all of them: wealth, the prestige of becoming famous at a young age, the aunt who loved him deeply, the career he loved deeply, the empathetic and refreshing Xiao'an, and the smart and lovely sweetheart Keya. Even if she still belongs to another person now, she has received an affirmative response from the other party about love in this life, even if she really can't get out of here, she shouldn't have any regrets.

Besides, isn't that still promising?

At this moment, Keya's voice came from the loudspeaker again,

"Good news for comrades, the scroll says that the Norn have not yet been able to create a magnetic field generator large enough to produce this effect, and even if they did, it would still take millions of years to vaporize a star like our sun. So. It's not an effective doomsday weapon! ”

"Really? That's great! Hans, do you hear that? Thank you so much to Keya, she has brought us another piece of good news! ”

"yes, I'm really going to pull myself together. Just for the seriousness of Kaya and Mario, I can't disappoint everyone! What's more, Mario and I are still tasked with protecting everyone! ”

Seeing that Hans had found confidence, Ann smiled reassuringly, and then she told him again. "I just don't know how big this base is, if it's really big, will it be that when we finally find the exit, those models should be operational? When the time comes, won't we all have to die here? ”

Although they had made such a guess, neither of them was discouraged by this, but regarded it as a kind of cautious thinking, and then, after a moment of thought, Hans replied to her. "What you said is not impossible, so let's find the exit as soon as possible, if there is no exit here, there is only one entrance, then we have to think about where there are other switches nearby. After all, Keya asked the two of us to come out, but we didn't come to have fun, we have to help everyone share more! ”

That's right, Hans has a point. But how can you just rely on two people and four legs to shorten the time? Even if the two are scuds, they may not be able to catch up with the coming of the emergency. In desperation, Xiao An thought of being in the cave of the Diamond Planet at that time. Mario's used car.

"By the way, Hans, let's find out here if these Norn people have left any tools for everyone, even if it's a pulley, isn't it better than just walking like this?"

Ann's proposal really woke Hans up. So the two of them began to look for tools to facilitate their passage as they searched for the exit. It's not bad, there really is such a thing here, although I'm not sure it's the kind Mario used at the time, because Xiao An's eyes couldn't see anything at that time, but anyway, this pile of objects similar to somatosensory cars helped the two of them a lot.

"Later, let's take the rest with you! Anyway, the weight of these cars should also carry these! Hans suggested to Ann, and with her consent, he found a rope and tied the rest to their car, after which the two of them continued on their way.

With the help of the car, the two finally drove to the end, and saw that there was no exit ahead, and there was only one entrance to this base. So the only way now is to go back quickly and see if you can blow up the entrance, or just follow the methods provided by the predecessors on the scrolls and find out all the secrets here before the models are all working.

"Then let's go back first, and tell everyone about the situation here, you don't have to go deeper, anyway, you have to go back to the end!"

Hans suggested to Xiao An, Xiao An nodded, and the two began to rush back.

"Why, boys, do you have any new discoveries? Is there any exit ahead? Uncle Diamond asked anxiously.

"There are no exits, but we have found a few of them, maybe we will use them!" Hans replied.

"Oh, well, anyway, it's a reward, and the two of you are fast enough to come back in such a short time. Is this base not that big? Or is it because you have a car? Mario's father asked the two.

"Yes, it's not small, but it's not as big as I expected, so we'll be back sooner. But how many of these models are working now? This is what we are most concerned about, and for this, Xiao An and I have to catch up closely! Hans said.

"Well, there are already two models in operation, and when you just came back, it seems that the third one has also started, and we just talked to you without looking closely, you see, is there another one that is already in operation?" Uncle Diamond reminds everyone.

Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, the third one had already been properly operated, and it seemed that only the rest of them had joined in, and when the time came, they would create a unique farewell party for everyone.

Ahh

"Kya, Mario, how many more do you have left to crack them all? Why didn't that senior tell us everything he wanted to say directly at once, why did he make it so mysterious? Don't you know the speed of life and death? ”

Mario's father-in-law complained, not understanding why he was so pretentious if he was trying to save people, and the man himself had been through the same predicament. Isn't it over just pointing out the clear road to everyone?

Xiao An couldn't figure it out at first. But after thinking about it for a while, she understood, maybe this is how the predecessor came up with such a solution in order to prevent the Norn people from easily solving the problems he painstakingly listed? While doing so. It's really dangerous, but you have to think about it this way, this predecessor is actually not related to everyone, why do people have to save everyone? At that time, he could have left on his own and never had to worry about anyone else. But he still left such a hope for future generations at such a tense moment. And he is so attentive, it can be seen that he must have a benevolent heart and a wise mind in his bones.

Seeing that the elders were a little anxious, and hearing that there was indeed no other exit, Keya was also a little panicked, so it was clear that the heavy responsibility of escaping from here fell on her shoulders. So, she hurriedly said to everyone, "Don't worry, everyone, it's almost fast, we have almost translated this scroll." It's just the last one! ”

Strange to think about, the number of scrolls is the same as the number of people, presumably the one who could predict that everyone will enter here one day, or is it just a coincidence?

But now they can't care so much, everyone listens to Keya's explanation quietly, for fear that missing any details will affect the best time to escape.

"And the last super sci-fi weapon to use against stars, which is an incredible way to completely destroy stars in a respectable amount of time, is to use black holes to create a bomb that bursts inward. This black hole will devour exponentially and grow. Thus a 'self-propelled' star is wiped out. ”

"Ah, that sounds scary! Could it be that the Norn people have developed this method of using black holes to deal with stars? Xiao An glanced at the non-stop operation model and asked worriedly.

"Probably not," Kaya replied affirmatively. But for some reason, the sadness on her face was still there, "It's not difficult to make a black hole, but it's hard to create a black hole that can survive long enough to persist in destroying the sun." ”

"That's the end of it! Why are you still so worried? Ann wondered.

"Because we've read all of these scrolls, but we haven't been able to stop these models! What I'm worried about now is, black holes or something, don't worry about it yet. Let's study the model in combination with these scrolls! ”

This is true, but didn't the seniors also clearly say that as long as everyone cracks the secret of the scroll, won't they leave here safely? Or, the time of the predecessors is different from everyone, so the statute of limitations has been lost?

A few people thought of this, so they hurriedly looked at the time of the senior in the photo, and it was really hundreds of years better than everyone in the morning.

"Well, in this way, it means that many people have died before we have even found these scrolls, which shows our luck. It's just that in such a long time, it is not difficult to rule out the possibility that the Norn Star has not changed their model! Mario's father sighed.

That's right, the scroll thing can be put aside for now, and now everyone has to focus on the models that are about to be fully operational, and at this moment, one model has also become a living machine, and it is up and running. Count them, and there's only the last one left yet.

But who knows when it will work? Time is short, and everyone hasn't found the pattern yet, maybe when everyone finds the pattern, maybe they won't want to go out from here again.

What to do? Waiting to die? Anyway, I don't have enough calm to face it all now. What to do? What to do?

Xiao An's heart became more and more panicked, and a pair of flints and steels in his hands fell on the last model. Before that, because of panic, she "snapped" several times.

Result -

"Xiao An, why are you so careless!"

"I—"

Xiao An didn't have time to tell who accused her just now, and she didn't have time to finish her words, she only felt "buzzing" and didn't know anything. (To be continued.) )
