013 New Civilization Relics
Antarctica has left the impression of 'cold' on countless people, but in fact, there has been a saying in the past scientific expedition team that the cold of Antarctica does not necessarily freeze people to death, but the wind of Antarctica can kill. In general, Antarctica is also called the "wind pole", and some people jokingly call it the "home of blizzards".
The plane finally found one, but unfortunately it was too old and the quality was not very passable. So the route drawn up by the steward is to temporarily stop at a former ancient country in South America, the closest to Antarctica, cross the mountains to find the sea, and finally reach Antarctica by ferry.
The route to the South Pole is very cumbersome, but to the surprise of the system, its own host actually behaved exceptionally peacefully, and there was no patience along the way, which was like a different person.
There must be a reason for something abnormal, but it's a pity that the system hasn't found out where the cause is, and Xi Luo can't take the initiative to say it, so this doubt hangs there, not up or down.
Earth's foggy weather has long become uncommon nowadays, every time the particle pollution in the air reaches a certain concentration, it will cause a wide range of foggy days, each time the foggy weather lasts for a long time, there will be unexplained heavy rainstorms, and then there are short sunny days, like an endless cycle.
On the way over, the system did not forget to whisper in Xi Luo's ear: "Future scholars say that this is called the self-purification ability of the earth, which is a very magical planet." ”
The plane was forced to stop in a wasteland, and after Xi Luo got out of the wheelchair, the housekeeper immediately opened the protective shield. The group was facing a hill with a faint outline visible under the fog, and the topographic map showed that in order to find the sea, the first thing to do was to go straight through the mountain.
"Host, why do you say that the earth is so deserted, although now the human race has immigrated to the Emperor Star, but most of the animals have not left, we have come all the way, and we haven't even met a sparrow." The system, which has always been lively, feels a little depressed and lonely.
"When you meet them, they are not as wonderful as you imagined." Xi Luo leaned lazily on the back of his wheelchair, the fog shrouded all around, and the whole world was quiet.
"Huh?" The system didn't understand Xi Luo's words, but he deeply understood the temperament of his host, and wanted her to take the initiative to explain, which was almost impossible, and the housekeeper looked like he had no desire or desire, and even if he knew, he generally didn't speak, so he had to rely on himself for everything, and used his father's plug-in to start searching for information.
After a while, the system slowly read out the content of the information with the intention of sharing it with Xi Luo: "The History of the Decline of Earth Civilization": In 4011 AD and 9786 AD, two large-scale continuous world wars broke out on the earth, and the first war caused the earth to plummet by nearly 1 billion people, and countless precious books were destroyed; In the second world war, in order to win the final victory, some countries broke the convention and began to use radiological attack weapons, which eventually caused irreversible harm and forced human beings to migrate to other planets. ”
"A billion people were equivalent to the total population of a large country at that time, right?" The system seems to be talking to itself with some confusion.
"Do you believe in conspiracy theories?" Xi Luo suddenly asked softly, his long black hair was quietly blown by the wind, and he couldn't see the look on his face clearly in the fog, "It is said that around 3450 AD, the artificial womb conception technology was first disclosed to the world, married, unmarried, men, women, can't wait to leave themselves the blood of the next generation, in that era, the cost of giving birth to a child was too small for them, and the population on the earth was growing wildly. ”
"By the fourth millennium A.D., all countries were aware of this problem, even if science and technology are developing, the way of resource regeneration is also increasing, but it is a pity that the resource base that the earth can provide is too small, simply not enough to feed such a huge population, gradually, social stagnation, difficult to move an inch, different national leaders at the same time appeared a similar idea - war, which is the most effective way to reduce the number of people in the shortest possible time."
"In 4011 AD, the war was triggered by the failure of the marriage of a princess of a country, and nearly 30 countries in the world participated in it. You're talking about a billion just a conservative number, and the truth is much more than that. As for the battle in 9786 A.D., it was similar, and some cautious national leaders were caught in a hurry, and they embraced the extreme idea of dooming together. In fact, if human beings could have started the interstellar era earlier, it would not have caused so many people to be displaced in the flames of war all their lives. ”
The wheelchair is laboriously bumpy on the rocky slope, which is a section of the road that is being climbed.
The system made it difficult for him to understand Xi Luo's words, in fact, he only read the beginning of "The History of the Decline of Earth Civilization": "Most human beings still think that the decline of Earth civilization is due to the irreversible particle radiation pollution produced by the last battle...... Putting aside the illusion, we will find that the decline of this civilization actually began in 4000 AD, when we could not see it, and finally reached its peak around 10,000 AD. ”
The moving wheelchair stopped, Xi Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, why did she feel that a strange golden light seemed to flash in front of her? But after staring at it carefully for a long time, I felt that it was my own delusion.
Xi Luo fell into deep thought, her intuition rarely goes wrong, if she continues to move forward, she will definitely encounter a big trouble, but if she takes a detour, at least she has to bypass a whole mountain, which is even more troublesome.
"Fat Ball, do you have any props in your mall that can allow us to go to Antarctica immediately." Xi Luo finally remembered the role of the system.
"Yes, yes!" As soon as the system heard that its host had asked for help from him, he did not hesitate to throw down the "History of the Decline of Earth Civilization" that he had just read with a preface, and began to look through the mall, "Host, I can take you to make a space jump, and go to the South Pole from here for a maximum of three seconds, and I will first find the pricing of my father." ”
"Fat ball, don't talk about money, we can still be good friends." Xi Luo stared at the system resentfully, the virtual board of the mall was unfolded in front of him, and the string of zeros dragged was almost dazzling.
Space Jump x1....... 100000000 coins
Immediately below this item, there is another purchase.
Time travel x1...... 10,000,000 coins (activated with emergencies, available on credit)
"Host, as long as you heal well, the world is ours." Grip the claws!
"Huh." Xi Luo turned his head, not wanting to look at the system again, it was better not to ask him.
"Host, you're not going to be angry, are you? We can actually take credit, yes, at a discount. The system suddenly became a little nervous, flew around Xi Luo several times, and suddenly seemed to sense something and stopped.
"Anything I can't afford to buy at a discount is rubbish." Xi Luo said depressedly, but in a blink of an eye, he found the system that was stunned in place, "Fat ball, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Suka...... Host, we seem to have found another amazing place. The system added uncertainly, "This seems to be a relic of the ancient Inca civilization, a lost city." ”
As the last note of the system ended, most of the fog that had been in the air suddenly dissipated, and the scenery above and below gradually became clearer.
The housekeeper turned the wheelchair around, Xi Luo looked back, secretly surprised, it turned out that the uphill road he had walked before was not an ordinary mountain road, but a ladder made of countless huge stones!
Xi Luo suddenly seemed to think of something, and just turned around and looked up.
The sky is high and the earth is wide, and there is no boundary.
A city made entirely of stone, as if standing on a high place to despise the world, a ray of sunlight finally tore through the clouds, leaving a hot temperature on this pile of stones that have experienced wind and rain for I don't know how many years, the ancient city is probably blessed by the gods, in order to stand for thousands of years.
