Chapter 10: Ruins
Wrong? Of course something is wrong with this place!
No matter how to say that Hao Shen has also suffered countless dilapidated household appliances, dismantled countless circuit boards, and watched many old sci-fi discs, in this futuristic mechanical room, he can't hear the sound of dripping or steam or heavy industrial metal collision, which is not scientific.
The silence was excessive.
Hao Shen even bent down and knocked on the metal plates on the ground and walls, but there was a faint click, which was the sound of the knuckles themselves.
“…… It's so thick, how much will it cost if it is dug up! Hao Shen sighed.
After taking a turn in this huge steel room, Hao Shen really didn't find anything of value, there were no imaginary buttons, joysticks or anything like that, only a few pipe-like things that extended from the ground and turned at a ninety degree angle into one side of the wall, and there were no slogans on them.
With Hao Shen's knowledge, he couldn't understand the purpose of this room at all.
After walking out of this huge room, there was a curved corridor.
The length of this corridor, which is covered with various pipes, is so long that it is almost impossible to detect it if it were not for the high visibility here, where you can faintly see the curvature of the corridor in the distance. Hao Shen thought about it and felt that this corridor might not just be curved, but a huge circle. If this is the case, then the size of this mechanical building is a bit exaggerated, and it is definitely not much smaller than that of the small city of Jingnan City!
"Alien city?"
Hao Shen clenched his fists, slightly nervous.
The cloister is not flat, the ground is high and low, but every few hundred meters there are square metal pillars extending from the ground and sticking diagonally into the ceiling against the wall.
The cloister between each of the two pillars seemed to be a standard section, with three huge metal rooms of the kind that Hao Shen had stayed in before, each one identical.
Hao Shen walked into a pillar, and by observing, he found that the metal pillar was about two meters wide, half of its column body was inside the wall, and its cut should be a square. The whole column does not touch the cloister, and where the column extends, there is a bottomless gap, about two centimeters wide.
"The wind blows...... This crack is the ...... that leads to the outside."
Hao Shen lay there and studied for a long time, and even threw a dime into it, but it took a long time to hear a faint echo, and he couldn't make an effective judgment at all—these things were too big.
Hao Shen decided to go down the cloister and inspect all the rooms one by one. At the same time, he also shouted a few times. The result is nothing, it's empty and spotless. It's as if it's newly created and has never been used before.
Is this an uninhabited city?
Hao Shen was puzzled for a while and connected to the system.
"Hey, system, how's your side? Did you find anything? ”
The system replied in seconds: "No one found...... But there is a little speculation. I'm coming out of a big thing with Xiaomei right now. Oh my God, Hao Shen, you don't know, this thing looks so spectacular from the outside, you really should come and see it. Oh, by the way, how's your side? I think we definitely have a different location. Damn, if I'm not mistaken, this thing should be a big engine! ”
"Big engine?" Hao Shen was a little puzzled, thought about it, and was suddenly surprised. "Engine...... You're saying it's a spaceship? ”
"No, no, no, it's not a ship. I have the land, the sky and the sun here. It's a planet. The system explained: "The reason why I say this is a big engine is because I saw its big chrysanthemums, which were inserted in the ground with the chrysanthemums facing up, and they were probably scrapped." Good guys, it's really big, one must be more than ten kilometers wide, and you can't see the end at a glance. Hey, you said that if the J20 pretended to be this thing, could it beat the F22? ”
"That's got to fit in! Let's use it to destroy the earth! Hao Shen was speechless and sighed, "I don't have any valuable discoveries here. No aliens have been found, and nothing seems to work here for a long time...... I suspect it's a garbage dump. ”
"Junkyard? Well, indeed. I analyzed a few samples, and these large pieces of iron have a long history, and they have been here for at least hundreds of thousands of years. It seems that it has never moved in these hundreds of thousands of years. The system nodded, "Let's venture to speculate that these things look a lot like a spaceship in appearance, at least they used to be." But it had an accident when it landed on this planet...... Or simply because of an accident had to fall here, a very tragic accident, the entire spacecraft had a violent explosion, all the crew members were hung, the power of the entire spacecraft instantly dropped, the violent explosion tore apart the spaceship, it was torn apart, the engine was inserted into the earth, and the rest were scattered thousands of kilometers away. It may have even destroyed the ecosystem for a time – but hundreds of thousands of years have restored it. All that's left is this massive wreckage—it's a ruin, Hao Shen. ”
"Ruins...... Hundreds of thousands of years ago......" Hao Shen rubbed his chin, feeling that the system's brain hole was not impossible, but finally shook his head, "No, not necessarily, if it is really as you say, then this ruin must be ruined - but this place is obviously very complete, I think it seems to ...... Wait, I saw a door that seemed to lead to the outside. ”
Out of the corner of his eye, Hao Shen saw an open 'door' in the cloister, which seemed to have a vertical slide, and he walked over and found that it was a shaft, with a peanut-sized point of light at the top, which seemed to lead to the outside world.
"I've found an exit to the outside world, you wait a minute, we'll climb up and get in touch."
Hao Shen said quickly, and then hung up the communication.
The whole shaft was also powerless, Hao Shen saw the button in front of the door, but no matter how he pressed it, there was no response, and the door of the shaft was only half open. He looked at the inside of the shaft, and Hao Shen saw something in the grid structure, which was just right for him to climb.
Thanks to these years of hard work, Hao Shen has a fairly strong body, but even so, he was a little out of breath when he climbed halfway. By the time Hao Shen finally climbed out of the top of the shaft, his two arms were already sore.
"Whew, Mom, that's at least twenty stories tall!"
After lying there for a long time, Hao Shen regained his strength, and after getting up, Hao Shen finally saw the scene that the system said.
This is indeed the surface of a planet.
The sky is white and the sun is high. Beneath the sky, there is a lush land.
As far as the eye can see, there are undulating mountains covered with dense vegetation. The vegetation follows the surface of the earth, giving a general indication of the topography, and the peaks vary greatly in height, some of which are even jutting into the clouds. And in the lower places, rivers and canyons are faintly visible. When the clouds are shrouded, it is quiet and distant. The whole looks like the fairy mountains in some Xianxia movies. It's a pity that Hao Shen is not a poet, otherwise he would have to be sighed by this fairy-like place to compose a poem to strengthen his ambition.
Of course, he also saw what the system called 'big chrysanthemums'.
It was indeed a big, big chrysanthemum. It looks like the tail spouts of jet fighters in the weapons magazines I've seen before, except they're stuck in the ground. But even the outcrops are hard for Hao Shen to describe their exact size—even the tallest mountains are a little shorter than these large chrysanthemums.
The purpose of these large spouts is unknown, but there are many of them, and they seem to be arranged in an orderly manner, with the position where Hao Shen is sitting as the midpoint, and they are distributed in a cross-lined position. There is one every few tens of kilometers, and there are several in the range that Hao Shen can see.
The nearest one is at Hao Shen's feet......
"Circular cloister...... It's just part of these vents. ”
Hao Shen muttered to himself, he was standing on the outer ring structure of a large chrysanthemum at the moment, this outer ring seemed to be a thin layer on the entire large chrysanthemum, but in fact it was hundreds of meters thick, similar to the city wall. Hao Shen walked cautiously for a while, and glanced at the inside of the vent - the vent was very deep, and it may have penetrated deep into the surface, but Hao Shen's eyesight at this time was not trivial, and he could clearly see that the bottom of the vent was a large annular energy release mechanism.
Hao Shen was speechless, and there was a thought in his heart: If this thing is really activated, how much thrust can it produce? I guess the whole planet will be pushed away!
"The system, is it still there? I had just climbed out of the same place before, and now I was on top of a spout, which was spectacular, but ...... It's also strange that these vents don't seem to come from some crashed ship as you guessed before, they seem to be installed in an orderly ...... on this planet. Hao Shen briefly told the system about his findings, and then raised his own questions: "This is something wrong. These big things don't seem to be casual things, but they definitely have a lot of use. But looking at the surrounding situation, it doesn't look like a human being, which is too unreasonable. ”
The system was silent for a moment, and affirmed Hao Shen's statement, "...... It doesn't make sense, but there's something new to me here. Hao Shen, you'd better come and see for yourself! ”
