Chapter 282, Discovery
Gongsun Yun looked straight ahead, and said with a blank face to Chen Xiaoyun and Liu Wuxin, who were slowly following beside him: "Is this possible......?" ”
The road is in disrepair, but you can still see from the outline of the ruins, and the street and the surrounding buildings in front of you are full of modern style.
Of course, no one answered his question, the city in front of him has been abandoned for thousands of years at a glance, if there was such a civilization in the Burning Sun Continent thousands of years ago, then when Luo Yi and the others arrived, the human race should not be an ancient charm that has nothing to do with science and technology, but how to explain what you see in front of you? They don't know.
But they are not people who have never seen strange things, just now, they witnessed a strange story of time and space, so they can only link what they see now to the dislocation of time and space.
So after only a moment of silence, Gongsun Yun temporarily put aside the shock of the moment, and then began to command his subordinate sergeants to step up the exploration of the huge city in front of him that had been sleeping for more than a thousand years.
I saw that they arranged a large number of reconnaissance machines in the sky and on the ground, and then the machines, birds and beasts scattered in a fan shape, and searched the entire city in a carpet shape!
Chen Xiaoyun and others strolled through the streets of this dead city, hoping to find more evidence of the current civilization from the ruins.
Although the outline of the building was still recognizable, they did not see any written information, and all the exterior walls of the building had long since been peeled off to a jet-black hue; Looking up at the dark doorways, this dead city, which seemed to have been abandoned by eternal night, was filled with a deeply frightening desolation.
"Our civilization mostly stores information in servers and other devices, or in the database of the network, and even paper is rarely used, if one day our civilization is also lost like the city in front of us, it will not leave any relevant information about its own civilization to future generations......," Chen Xiaoyun said with some self-deprecation, "At present, this city is lucky, it is hidden deep underground, and it has not been disturbed by the outside world, and it is very rare that these buildings can be preserved to this extent now." Hopefully it will leave us something more valuable......"
Listening to Chen Xiaoyun's words, the rest of the people had a hope of gaining and losing, so they kept searching everything they could see in front of them.
Through the search reports that kept coming back from the mechanical reconnaissance of birds and beasts, they never found any meaningful objects, and as there were fewer and fewer places to search, Chen Xiaoyun and the others' brows gradually began to tighten, if the underground ruins of this scale could not find any clues about the artifact at the moment, they really did not have the confidence to continue searching.
Sadly, this dead city was only the size of a medium-sized city of the Terrans, and with the help of a large number of mechanical reconnaissance methods, they soon searched the entire city, and once again found nothing but empty buildings!
Disappointment soon swept over everyone's mind; They were now standing in the middle of the city, an altar-like structure, the highest point of the city, with only one staircase built upwards, and the other three sides were smooth straight walls.
With a heavy sense of loss, they slowly climbed the altar, perhaps unwillingly, during which they kept releasing their spiritual power perception in a circular shape in all directions, searching every corner of the city over and over again, and the result was nothing more than disappointment over and over again.
When they reached the top of the altar, they saw that it was a platform, and it was empty, and they didn't know what the purpose of this building's existence was. They walked to the center of the platform and looked around at the ruined city below, thinking so and so in their hearts.
Standing on this altar, Liu Wuxin remembered the Heavenly Demon Saint Realm far away in the north, just because this altar was a bit like the platform in front of the Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace. Thinking of this, Liu Wuxin wanted to ask Chen Xiaoyun and the others about the news of those demons, ghosts, beasts and other subordinates in the north, but looking at the listless appearance of the people in front of her, she couldn't bear to disturb their lost hearts again, so she saw her eyes flickering one after another, ready to search for the answers she wanted to know by reading her mind.
But just as her eyes flickered, she seemed to see something strange on the platform, it seemed to be a phantom of the past that happened in this place!
She saw that there was something above the platform, which looked like an energy supply tower, but someone sank the energy supply tower into the altar as if pulling the gate, and then the energy supply of the entire city was cut off in an instant, and everything fell into dead silence.
"Ah......h
"Senior sister? What's wrong with you? Chen Xiaoyun was standing next to her, and she was frightened by the screams of the heartless senior sister, and hurriedly turned around to ask.
"Here...... There's something missing here! Liu Wuxin swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, calmed down, and then pointed to the middle of the altar and said.
"Something missing?" Chen Xiaoyun frowned and repeated.
"yes, it's something missing......!" Gongsun Yun said with the same certainty, seeing the puzzled gaze of his beloved wife, Gongsun Yun continued, "If this place is really the same as our city, don't you think that the whole city is missing something?" A must-have in the city! ”
Everyone was at a loss.
"...... a must-have in the city?" Chen Xiaoyun muttered, but after only a moment of silence, she suddenly shouted, "This city has no central energy supply system!" Her voice echoed in the sky above the city, the dome above her head.
When the people next to them heard this, they suddenly realized that they had searched all the way, and they did not find anything related to modern society, except for stone buildings with some similar shapes, but this does not mean anything, only energy is the best criterion for judging the level of civilization.
At this time, Liu Wuxin came to the position where those people pulled the gate, and looked down, only to see some very regular grooves on the ground made of lattice bricks, and at a cursory glance, there were some white balls embedded in the labyrinth-like grooves, which seemed to be movable.
Liu Wuxin felt it in his heart, so he squatted on the ground and reached out to try to play with the white balls embedded in the regular grooves. Under her gentle flicking, as expected, although they had been placed for more than a thousand years, those balls could still be easily dialed without the slightest jerky feeling.
"Nine Palaces Astrolabe Native Map, it turns out that Your Highness, you also understand the principle of the Nine Palaces Array!" Gongsun Yun was behind Liu Wuxin, watching her skillfully pluck those white balls, and couldn't help but admire.
"I know a little bit about it, it's still a skill I learned from your place......" Liu Wuxin said as his subordinates never stopped.
That's when something magical happened! As long as the white balls were placed in the corresponding correct position, the white balls would light up with various lights, and the bright light would shoot straight into the sky, casting a point of light on the pitch-black dome above the head.
As more and more points of light were lit up on the top, the sergeants looked up, as if they saw perfect stars, cleverly placed in the deep space of the universe.
Until Liu Wuxin stuck the last white ball into the card slot in the middle, a beam of golden light rushed straight into the sky, forming a bright light like the sun in the middle of all the stars, and this point of light was much larger than any other point of light in the vicinity!
Then, in the ears of the troops, there was a crisp sound of the shaft turning, but this time it was not accompanied by a terrifying shaking of the mountain.
"Wow......" At this time, everyone kept looking up, only to see that with the sound of the rotation of the machine axis, in the dark "cosmic space" on the dome, around the golden light in the middle, all the stars are slowly rotating according to a very orderly law, the colorful colors are intoxicating, as if there is a sense of mystery from the universe, which makes people yearn!
At this moment, the people who were intoxicated with the splendor of the dome suddenly felt a strange movement under their feet, and everyone hurriedly withdrew their gaze and looked at their feet; They could feel the movement under their feet getting denser and denser, and it was coming from far and near, as if something was rushing straight up from under their feet, and everyone looked at each other and immediately retreated, and a group of people retreated to the edge of the stairs and looked back into the middle.
I saw that the originally flat platform seemed to come to life at this time, and earth-shaking changes were taking place! The squares on the middle floor quickly piled up around the central mechanism, automatically building a half-wrapped circular building with empty front and back, and the back of some of the lattice bricks turned out to be reflective mirrors, followed by the central mechanism that emitted brilliant light on the ground began to be held up by a cylindrical energy body with a soft light, and the light on the energy body passed through the sphere spotlight on top of it, and all the light began to project back and forth between the reflective grid bricks, and was finally scattered towards the dome.
So the dome was already very brilliant "starry sky" began to become more grand, at this time they looked up at the sky, there was a wonderful visual experience of being under the Milky Way, this is not the end, with a loud "click" sound, as if triggering a chain reaction, with the central altar as the center, every house in the whole city is gradually lit up from the inside out! In just a moment, the originally dark city has been immersed in a sea of lights!
Everyone stood at the highest point of the city and looked around, everyone was deeply shocked by the scene in front of them, and the sadness that was originally infected by this dead city in their hearts was immediately dyed with happiness.
After admiring the beautiful light show for a while, their eyes began to be attracted to the cylindrical energy body in the center of the altar, because through the bright light on its surface, they could see that there was a light and shadow in the middle of the energy body, and then look at the shape of the light and shadow, it was actually the shape of a sharp sword!
Seeing it in their eyes, their hearts couldn't help jumping, could the light and shadow of the sharp sword in front of them be some artifact they were looking for?
