Chapter 16: The Old World, Part 1

After crossing the hill, Beibing said to them, "Look beyond the barrier, there is no fog yet, and after a while it will be foggy, and you will not be able to see it." m.”

In the buffer zone, the buildings close to the ground were not visible in the air, and after the spaceship slowed down, Kazusawa released the ship's mechanical eye, sharing half of the vision to the micro-life through the accompanying robot.

It was a sight that had never been seen in a greenhouse, a world that even micro-beings born outside the greenhouse never knew.

The buffer zone is a mix of wanderers who voluntarily leave the barrier, as well as exiled sinners, a world of criminals, wanderers, and ants.

On the ground, the city of a hundred years ago is in ruins, leaving only traces of time and a wilderness through which history has passed.

In short, it's just a trace of yesterday.

Among the ruins, there are wooden brick houses that are continuous bazaars, and there are countless tower-shaped buildings that soar into the sky, making a huge roar.

Kazusawa asked, "What kind of machine is that?" ”

"Gathering Tower."

"Gather what?"

"A rare ore for the manufacture of adel crystals." Micro Sheng replied with a player.

Beibing glanced at him with some surprise and explained, "Although this place is outside the barrier, it no longer belongs to the greenhouse, but there are also regional divisions, and they must also obey the management of the greenhouse, and the city-state will also give them some resources, and accordingly, they will have to exchange some things." ”

"Sometimes it's rare plants and animals, sometimes it's gifted young people, and more often, it's this ore that can make adel crystals."

Wei Sheng looked at the collection tower in his field of vision, and the automatic defense device at the top of the tower in active mode, and was a little surprised.

At such a close distance, he was not attacked.

The girl seemed to know what he was thinking, and said without looking back, "Don't worry, the Doji is not in the tower's target." ”

Doji is the name of the Arctic spacecraft.

Since a long time ago, the emissaries sent within the barrier are all androids, and few humans have personally contacted the rulers of the buffer zone, and at most they have the patrolmen on guard at high altitudes, strictly abiding by the prohibition of not having contact with second-class citizens.

The next step is to pass through the twelve barriers in the greenhouse, and the North Ice sets the spacecraft's autopilot mode, walks into the cabin, and turns on the projection.

Adel crystals appeared in the air, and she clicked on the database to project the Adel crystals against each other.

She looked at the two people standing across from her and asked, "As the acting consul of the Cross Base, you should have heard of the Adel Crystal, right?" ”

He Ze nodded and did not speak.

The micro-living player said, "Adel crystal is an ore produced from the SA19 colonization planet, because it is very rare, so Dawning Technology has created an imitation of Adel crystal. ”

Then he paused and added, "I've never seen a real Adel crystal." ”

"You ......" Bei Bing frowned slightly, not sure what he meant, and didn't understand that he "haven't seen Adel Crystal" just casually, or seemed to be referring to something.

Weisheng replied to her in the affirmative, "You are G19, and in Project Cross, the code name starting with 'G' is a special number, which also means that you must be one of the few civilization monitors implanted with Adel crystals in Dawning Technology." ”

"How do you know ......?"

Weisheng's eyes moved slightly, and the mechanical voice replied one by one, "You know, the lord of the Red Bell Court of the Eastern Fortress is my creator. ”

"But he didn't tell me you knew the core of Project Cross." ”

"Off topic, two." He Ze interjected at the right time, his eyes looking at Beibing, "You asked us if we knew about the Adel Crystal, what was the purpose?" ”

"The implanted object of the Adel Crystal is the first-order civilization monitor, and the place they are going to guard is an unknown star field that is one of the four fortresses."

The Guardian of Civilization has to record more than just the four fortresses outside the greenhouse.

There are also four star fields corresponding to them, namely Xuandu, Fucheng, and Luochuan in the known star fields, as well as the even larger unknown star fields.

"The routes of the unknown starfield are too complex and dangerous, and only a civilization watchdog like me implanted with Adel Crystal can escort the starship."

Kazuzawa looked at her critically, "But you don't look very strong." ”

Weisheng said, "A person's strength and weakness are not only based on appearance. ”

"Moreover, the role of Adel Crystal is to stimulate the evolution of users."

"So, Arctic G19, what does your evolution, second form look like?"

"Microlife, huh?" Beibing looked at him, his eyes were full of surprise, "I know a lot, you really surprise me." ”

Wei Sheng thought for a moment and replied seriously, "Thank you." ”

"Now, she's not complimenting you." Kazusawa chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.

Wei Sheng turned his head a little uncomfortably, dodging his actions behind him.

Beibing looked at Heze, "You must not be surprised to hear me say this, I think you should know." ”

He Ze nodded and replied seriously, "Well, I do know, but your voice is very good, so I didn't interrupt." ”

Arctic, "......"

Who thinks an emotionless voice sounds good?

There was some helplessness in his heart, his expression was still cold, and his voice said without emotion, "In short, you need to know that Adel crystals are extremely rare, and ordinary civilization monitors will not hold them, and even if they are implanted, they will not smoothly evolve into a second form."

Even as a substitute, Adel crystals are very difficult to refine, so this is the reason why the buffer belt has not been destroyed for so many years. ”

"The greenhouse needs Adel crystals to maintain the Adel shield, and someone has to mine this radiant ore, so the buffer zone can't disappear."

Kazusawa nodded, "And then?" Does it have anything to do with the convention? ”

"Yes, if you complete the agreement, the buffer belt will not exist."

"Why?" Weisheng asked.

Star ...... The man said that when you were done, the red mist would disappear, and the greenhouse would no longer need the Adel Crystal Bondage Shield.

Moreover, the wormhole between the colonized planet and the Earth will be reopened, and more Adel crystals will be brought to Earth by the spaceship, transforming more civilization overseers. ”

After Beibing finished speaking, he turned off the projection and went back to the cab.

It took a long flight before leaving the greenhouse.

They finally set foot on this red wasteland.

But I was shocked by what I saw.

Beyond the greenhouse, the magnificent ruins lay in the dust, and everything that once sheltered beneath was destroyed in its collapse.

"It sounds incredible, but it's all true."

Beibing stepped off the spaceship, took out the sniper rifle placed in the space compression device on his waist, and said to the two people with incredulous faces, "The world was like this a long time ago. ”
