Chapter 5 Control Center
A blue light shot out of its huge eyeball, quickly scanning everyone, and then a wave of mental fluctuations sounded in the minds of several people at the same time.
"High-level psionic guardian number 0013 is on standby, target creature verification."
"Creature name: Sakadum, number one."
"Creature Name: Human, number five."
"There is no information about the target creature in the database, please show your identity as an outsider."
This mental fluctuation is very mechanical and dull, just like a data, Xing Tianyu has a feeling that this thing seems to be some kind of computer anomaly.
"Hey, I really fooled it!" Xing Tianyu was surprised and happy when he received the message, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and the others were also surprised.
However, Sylvia's side was a little overwhelmed, although she could become a Sakadum, but obviously, there was a difference between the Sakadum, and she didn't think about what to say.
Xing Tianyu immediately intervened, "We are the Special Operations Team of the Sakadom Reconnaissance Team, this is Special Opcionist No. 2317, we are its human team members, hello psionic guardians. ”
The reason why Xing Tianyu said this is because the Sakadum people had enslaved humans for a long time, so it can explain why a group of humans appeared here, and three million years have passed, even if there is any abnormality, it can be explained by the change of the times.
"Reconnaissance Team Special Operations Officer? Please elaborate further if there is no relevant information in the database. The psionic guardian sent another message.
Xing Tianyu opened his mouth, "The Sakadom reconnaissance team is a special subordinate of the Satakadum Council, which is responsible for finding the shelters that have lost contact in the past, and determining what happened in these shelters. ”
"The Sakadum Council? Please elaborate further if there is no relevant information in the database. The psionic guardian replied anyway.
Xing Tianyu said in his heart, I'm afraid you won't ask. "Do you know what time it is?" He asked rhetorically.
"The relevant materials in the database have been lost and cannot be accessed."
Xing Tianyu said, "It's now three million years after the Battle of Doom, and this shelter where you are has long lost contact with the Sakadom clan, according to the last information received, it seems that there has been some kind of terrible change here, but because the Sakadom Council has been busy helping the Sakadom people to settle and colonize in another world, they have not experienced and personnel to investigate this, and recently we finally have enough energy to deal with this matter, That's why the council decided to send our task force to investigate and assess the city, to find out what was lost here. ”
Xing Tianyu's story is serious, he is too familiar with the on-site storytelling, this kind of script is simply open to the mouth.
The psionic guardian's eyes flashed red, as if calculating what was going on.
But eventually, the red light turned green.
"Hello Operator No. 2317, it's a pleasure to be under the leadership of the Sakadom Council once again, is there anything I can do for you?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect to be deceived.
"Tell me what's going on here and why you were hibernating." This time it was Sylvia who spoke, and with Xing Tianyu's foreshadowing, she immediately entered the state.
"The huge orb of the psionic guardian suddenly turned red again. "The memories of the psionic guardians have been lost and cannot answer your questions."
Xing Tianyu said in his heart, why is it still lost? Could it be that too much time has passed? Or is it thought to be cleared?
"Then please open the gate of the hub and let us in." Sylvia continued.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Investigator." The psionic guardian spoke, and the wall slowly turned, revealing a passage behind it, and several people walked in.
Inside, however, was a hall of nearly 200 square meters, which was obviously different from the empty, lonely, and uninhabited areas that I had passed through before, and this room was quite crowded, because there were many strange instruments and equipment displayed around the hall.
It looks like a sci-fi thing.
Some stone slabs inlaid with psionic crystals were arranged around the room in a certain order, several devices that I don't know what to do, there were strange lines on the floor, and in the center of the room, there was a giant psionic crystal more than a meter high, which was fixed to a metal base, but it was already dim at this time.
It was the first time Xing Tianyu had seen such a huge psionic crystal, and he estimated that this thing should be able to provide energy to the entire control room.
"It's obviously impossible to use our own psionic energy to activate this thing," Xing Tianyu said, in fact, he can do it, but although he can do it, I'm afraid it will take at least about half of the psionic energy to activate it initially, and doing so will make him lose a lot of strength, which is really a bit unworthy.
Instead of rushing to fiddle with the psionic crystals, he used his basic Sakadom writing ability to read all the words in the room that could be read.
These stone tablets and the psionic crystals were annotated with Sakadum's script, and it didn't take long for Xing Tianyu to figure out what these devices were for.
He sat down and introduced everyone as he read it.
"This is a zone isolation door control device, which can open the force field to separate the door of different areas."
"This is a psionic battle golem activation device that activates mobile psionic guardians that are sealed underground, can check their status, and give commands to them."
"Hey, this is the psionic defender activation device, which activates all psionic defenders, and what is this psionic defender?" Xing Tianyu said and entered a little spiritual energy, and a three-dimensional image immediately appeared in front of him.
"I see," Xing Tianyu reacted immediately, "The psionic defenders should be those Sakadom statues seen outside, they are actually some kind of defensive weapons. ”
In this way, the psionic "Psibots" in the city that can be activated with psionic energy include psionic guardians (usually used as defenses in key areas), psionic defenders, and one at each transportation node. There are also psionic battle golems, a type of mechanical warrior that can move. ”
Xing Tianyu was still checking one by one while explaining, but unfortunately, most of these devices needed to be injected with spiritual energy before they could be activated, and each of them required a lot of spiritual energy.
Tianyan glanced around, but suddenly pointed to something in it, "What is this for?" ”
Xing Tianyu took a look, it was a metal instrument, placed on a stone base, a cylinder made of metal, with a spherical crystal at the top, and a spiritual energy crystal on the base.
Xing Tianyu checked the name of the device.
"Hey, the psionic concentrator switch—is this—"
Xing Tianyu instinctively reacted to this name, and he could probably know what it was doing as soon as he heard it.
He looked at Tianyan with some surprise, "What do you see on this thing?" ”
"I see the color of hope." Tianyan said indifferently.
I see, Xing Tianyu didn't hesitate anymore, he immediately injected a trace of spiritual energy into it, and immediately, the metal instrument on the stone slab began to make a burst of sounds, the crystal ball suddenly lit up, and a spiritual light shot from the sphere to the huge spiritual energy crystal in the center of the room, the spiritual energy light split into more than a dozen under the refraction of the huge spiritual energy crystal, around this huge spiritual energy crystal, more than a dozen fist-sized spiritual energy crystals were suspended, and they began to rotate rapidly, The white light in the huge psionic crystal became more and more intense, and finally, the brightness reached the extreme, spreading in all directions.
All the psionic crystals in the entire control center lit up all at once, and this white light also illuminated the entire hall, and the sound of various instruments activating became a sound.
In the place that should have been a wall, there was even something like a screen floating on top of each other, and through those screens, you could even see images of other parts of the city.
"Oh my God, is this the power of the Sakadum's psionic technology?" Lucifer exclaimed.
Xing Tianyu stood in front of the suspended screen, looking at the operation interface composed of these spiritual energy crystals and stone slabs in front of him, but unfortunately there was no chair, otherwise this would really have a feeling that everything was under control.
Hey, and the surveillance system!? Xing Tianyu quickly moved to the front of the glass, but unfortunately, he could only see a piece of darkness.
The lighting system could not be activated due to insufficient energy, and although the psionic crystals had begun to recharge continuously, they could only provide energy for a small area.
And this control room can only control a part of this underground city.
Xing Tianyu put his hand on the spiritual energy crystal of the monitoring system, and he immediately felt that his mind seemed to be connected to the instrument with the instrument, without any operation, just a thought, the picture in the screen began to switch, Xing Tianyu said in his heart that this is really convenient, he kept switching the screen, and most of the screens were pitch black.
And suddenly—
"Look, what's that?"
During the screen switching, a blurry point of light suddenly appeared on the screen, and it can be clearly seen that a blurry thing with a faint light appeared on the screen.
"Some kind of monster, it should be that it killed the Blood Duke." Franconia said assertently.
Although it was only a vague outline, it made Xing Tianyu instinctively feel a sense of threat.
The thing crawled slowly in a twisted and weird posture, there were many tiny light sources on its body, the strange purple light made its entire body disappear in a blurred purple halo, it couldn't see what it looked like, but Xing Tianyu instinctively felt that it seemed to be some kind of reptilian creature, it didn't seem to have the concept of upper and lower space, along the circular passage of the Sakadum people, whether it was on the wall or on the ceiling, it seemed to be doing some kind of search, But suddenly, it seemed to sense that someone was watching it, and it disappeared in an instant, and it didn't know if it was too fast, or if it had some kind of teleportation ability.
Xing Tianyu didn't pay too much attention to the monster, he switched a few more times, and suddenly, a red light appeared on the screen.
It was a huge block of ice, and a figure could be faintly seen inside.
"It's Elder Aurora!"
Tianyan suddenly recognized it.
It's really Aurora, Xing Tianyu carefully identified it and determined the identity of the other party, but Aurora doesn't look good now, her whole person is frozen in a huge block of ice, and she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead.
I checked the location of the target, and it was less than a kilometer away from them.
"Without further ado, we must quickly find Elder Aurora," Xing Tianyu said, he hadn't forgotten the purpose of coming this time, "I'm afraid we have to be separated for the time being, someone must stay to find out these psionic control systems, try to figure out what can help us, and at the same time use the monitoring system to investigate, and the others will go to Elder Aurora, although I can control these instruments, but as the captain, I'm afraid I have to leave, which of you wants to stay?" ”
"I'll stay," Tianyan said, "Although I don't know the Sakadom script, I can see the consequences of these instruments, and I am a psionic mage, so I am the most suitable person, not to mention that my combat power is limited, and acting with you will not have much effect." ”
Xing Tianyu nodded, "Then you can support me remotely here, who else wants to stay?" ”
This time, no one spoke, although it seemed safe to stay, but don't forget, the blood duke thought it was safe to go back before, but he gave himself an explanation, and the monster didn't know when it would come over, once it was alone, it was really not safe, although everyone was very confident in their own strength, but since the monster was able to kill the blood duke, the strength would definitely not be weak, it was better to follow Xing Tianyu, the captain, everyone probably thought so, and no one spoke for a while.
Xing Tianyu saw it, but looked at the eye of the sky.
Tianyan nodded, "I'm enough for one person." ”
Sylvia took out two crystal balls and handed them to Tianyan, "Take it, use this to contact us." ”
The group walked out of the door of the control room, and Sylvia put the psionic guardian back in its place, sealing the entrance, if the monster found here, the first thing to face was a psionic guardian, even if it couldn't be stopped, at least it could buy time.
Then the group moved quickly in the direction of Aurora on the three-dimensional map.
"I can see you, now follow the path I said, go two hundred meters ahead of the curve, and enter the fork in the road to the left." The crystal ball came with the image and sound of the Eye of the Sky.
Xing Tianyu followed his instructions.
"Very well, you should be able to see a door, don't go any way, there's something not very friendly in there, attacking the wall to the right of the door, that wall is thin, behind the wall is a shortcut."
A fossil in Sylvia opened the wall with mud, and sure enough, a narrow passage leaked inside, which seemed to be a ventilation duct or something.
A few people made their way forward, and with great effort, they found the location of Aurora, an empty square, where the huge ice cube stood.
Just as the four of them were about to walk over, the pendant around Sylvia's neck suddenly jumped.
"Be careful, everyone, there is danger nearby."
