Chapter 37: The Forbidden Land
Because I've been with the Norn people for a long time, everyone can naturally master some of their language. When I came to this once forbidden place, I saw that above the door at the entrance, there were several obvious big words written: Itokawa Star Scientific Research Center. On the prompts on both sides, it is also clearly indicated that idlers are not allowed to enter, and this adds a bit of mystery to this important scientific research place.
"Does a small Itokawa star also need to do any scientific research?" Mario's father, who was experienced in mining operations, questioned this.
"What's the matter, Dad, do you think there's something wrong here?" Mario asked cautiously, thinking that if there was danger, he should evacuate as soon as possible, and taking himself into the ditch was not something to brag about after all.
"Well, I don't dare to say how much I have a say in this, but at least among the bonanzas and planets I have come into contact with, I think there are still very few scientific research bases of such a scale built on a planet, even if it is my diamond planet, I don't care so much about it. Although, the area in front of me doesn't seem to be comparable to mine, but looking at the professionalism of all aspects of the facilities here, you can know that these Norn people attach great importance to this place! Either that, or they built such a base here to confuse the public, or to avoid some tracking! ”
Well, that makes sense.
After listening to her father-in-law's explanation, Xiao An suddenly thought of the red police, and she thought that when she was playing this game, she would deliberately set up a lot of base stations, just in case. Sometimes, it will be built in a place where the enemy's fire is more dense, and sometimes it will be placed in a more hidden place, and even more inconspicuous but powerful weapons will be added to the perimeter as protection.
Then, for the base in front of you, it is estimated that it is likely to be the latter situation mentioned by your father-in-law.
The Norn don't necessarily pay much attention to this, but they certainly care a lot.
Xiao An pretended to be a person from here, and tried to think from the perspective of a Norn star: If it were me, I would have such a base, in a peaceful and prosperous world. What should I do? Normally, reminiscent of his experience when he played Red Alert, Xiao An would use engineers to occupy various enemy bases, even if they could not be saved. It can also be converted into money before being destroyed by the enemy and used for various construction costs.
Hehe, some people just like to fight constantly and think it's fun to do that. But girls, especially girls like Xiao An, are compared to war. I always feel happier when I can make more money. Therefore, there are many battles, and she deliberately slows down the speed of the battle, so that she can have time to encroach on the enemy's financial resources, and every time she sees the number of money in the game constantly jumping up, she will feel a special sense of accomplishment. Even if she knew that they were all fake, and that they might not be used in a real battle, she would still be happy.
So this one in front of you could be an extra base station left behind by the Norn people? Maybe it's still working normally, like a tech outpost. Except for basic defense, it can be considered pollution-free. Then, if that's the case, even if everyone breaks in, it shouldn't be fine.
Moreover, in such an ordinary planet, there shouldn't be any big secrets.
Although it was once listed as a forbidden place, it does not necessarily mean that there are really important secrets hidden here, and it is likely that it is just a means taken by the Norn people to hide their eyes. But either way, now they've all evacuated here. Even if they didn't tell you that it was open to the public, who told them that they had already handed over the management of this place to everyone? This is what they said personally, and even if they still want to spy on everyone, they can only do it in private for the time being.
But. Who can be sure that this is not one of their tricks? Maybe they deliberately brought everyone here? They thought that everyone would take various methods to get out of here, so they also set up a special place like this, waiting to invite you into the urn at any time?
Who knows.
But now everyone can't think of any other place to go for a while, so they are very interested in this important place for scientific research, even if there are ten ambushes waiting for everyone there, they can't care about it now.
"Do you want to go in?"
"Let's go inside!"
The girls asked cautiously. But the men have long wanted to go inside and find out. But Mario still added for the sake of safety, "Or, Uncle Diamond, you will accompany my father and Xiao An to wait outside for a while, and Hans and I will go in first to have a look?" ”
"No way!" Ke Ya came up and denied him first, "I know you are kind, but you must also know that the total number of us is less than ten people now, and our strength is already weak, and if something happens again, it will be even more difficult to deal with." Besides, can you guarantee that you have a complete understanding with Hans? And how professional are you in expeditions? ”
It's not that he despises Mario, but even if he is "an Antarctic Star", he may not be able to rob others in this regard, after all, he has grown up in a greenhouse with his mother all these years, and he is an alien, and he doesn't necessarily have to be a superman who is very strong in every one.
Mario thought about it and felt that Keya's analysis was right, a group of people always have to help each other in order to have any hope of getting out of here, and it is not enough to rely on enthusiasm and recklessness. So, he said, "Okay, then you all follow, anyway, Keya should have the most say in this regard, maybe when the time comes, everyone will get together and give advice or something, and a lot of unnecessary dangers can be avoided!" ”
The two uncles also think that it is better to die together, otherwise, that kind of lonely fear is really difficult. It is possible that there was hope to survive to the end, but he would have been scared to death by himself.
Everyone decided to enter through this door.
Strangely, once inside, there are not some typical technological facilities like one might expect, but the walls on the left and right are all filled with photographs.
Photo?
And it's all portraits.
A few people stepped forward to look at them one by one, and found that there were slightly detailed notes on the bottom of each photo, to the effect that the people on these photos hanging on the wall had been the masters of this place and were in charge of a certain era of Itokawa Star. These Norn people responsibly wrote down the life of each of them, where they came from, when they were in charge, and when they ended.
Xiao An looked at the notes, oh, it turns out that many of the people in this photo have passed away, and some have left office, but there is no description of where they went after that. And in comparison, there are still many of them who are elderly, and some of them are already hundreds of years old when they die. See here. Xiao An quickly withdrew his eyes, and scolded those Norn people in his heart: "You are sick, what are you doing with so many statues here!"
She felt very uncomfortable in the past. If you knew that you were looking at a posthumous photo, you would definitely not look at it. Not only is it rude to the deceased, but I don't have the guts to do it, so I always feel weird. So she couldn't understand why these Norn people "treasured" so many large photos that made people uncomfortable to look at in this place that they called a scientific research center. I wonder what the purpose of these monsters is in doing this?
Is it just a memorial? So why not post it in a public place? If it were a public place, maybe I wouldn't be so scared, and I would just have paid a good look at them as the ancestors who had given their last bit of light and heat to the people.
In addition to being scared and boring, Xiao An didn't bother to look at it anymore, besides, it is estimated that the photos of those deceased seniors should not play a role in everyone leaving here. It might be helpful to see if there are any other things nearby that can be used as clues.
But after turning around, it seems that it is still just these photo walls, and only when you go inside can you know if there are any new things waiting for you. But I don't know why. Mario's father and the two uncles of Lao Diamond are actually very interested in those old-fashioned photos, and as juniors, it is not good to disturb them at this time, so Xiao An can only find a place without photos to do it first.
In the process of waiting, she thought about it alone, thinking that as a descendant, she could look at the photos and other materials of the ancients, so that she could understand the living conditions of her predecessors. But what did the ancients think of future generations? It is estimated that only by being alive, and only by staying alive, can we have the opportunity to talk and communicate with future generations.
So a lot of older people. will say to the younger generations with love or arrogance, you are what I grew up watching! Especially the arrogant one, it carries the meaning of "eating more salt than walking". But even if a person lives a long time, he will eventually pass away. Especially on Earth, this is one thing that is difficult to avoid. Even in the South Pole Star, which is famous for its longevity and recreation, if you catch up with an inch, such as an accidental casualty or something, there are times when the hospital does not treat it well, at that time. Even the South Pole Star, which is a hundred times higher than the earth's technology, can only be said to have changed in mourning.
Therefore, unless he is alive, no one dares to guarantee that he is the one who can experience N dynasties.
So, what do these photos that are hanging here mean now? Is it a show off for the Nornees? Show off that they have recorded it all, show off their knowledge and importance of history?
Who knows.
"It's strange, why do the Norn people put so many old photos here? It's not a secret, are you afraid that others will know about it? Well, I really don't understand what they're doing. But, uncles, why do you keep looking at these photos, is there anything in them that really interests you? ”
Keya was also confused and uninterested, and asked strangely when she saw that Old Diamond and Mario's father had been staring at those old photos.
"Oh, you don't know, of course, where are you children going to know? The three of you are originally from Earth, of course, it is impossible to know, and Mario is also the South Pole Star who left not long ago, and he didn't know much about the outside world before. So, it's no surprise that you're not familiar with these pictures on the wall. ”
The two uncles told everyone like this. But such an answer obviously did not satisfy everyone's curiosity, and they didn't finish their words at all! So, several people continued to ask, "What does it mean?" You two mean, you all know the people in these photos? ”
Will it? My father-in-law and Uncle Diamond actually know the people in these photos, is it possible that the secrets of this forbidden place, along with the Itokawa Star and even the entire Norn Star people, have been solved? (To be continued.) )
