As the investigation continued, Atlas spent a great deal of time restoring the towns found on the planet. Restoration results show that all the towns found by the probe so far, regardless of size, have a very similar overall structure to the original restored town, which is crescent-shaped or similar to the crescent moon. The only thing that can be regarded as different may be the fat and thin of the "crescent" itself.

At the same time, the buildings within the town themselves were built in much the same style, taking on the shape of a sloping crescent. Not only that, but all the buildings are even laid out in the same way, showing a clear tendency of stepping from the deep sea to the shallow sea.

"Judging from this result, there is no doubt about it." After reporting to Zhou Xin on the results of the restoration of the entire body, Atlas concluded, "At a time when sea levels had not risen to the level we have observed so far, there was an extremely violent tidal phenomenon on the planet, most likely to be violent enough to inundate coastal towns. For this reason, the civilizations on the planet have even changed their architectural styles to be able to withstand the tides. ”

At this point, the little girl paused for a moment, then continued, "But for some special reason, it is speculated that it may be related to the rise in sea level, and the tidal phenomenon on the planet has suddenly disappeared. Perhaps even entire civilizations have been affected by this upheaval, and they have disappeared, and perhaps not even the survivors remain, and the only thing that remains may be the ruins that have been submerged by the sea. ”

Hearing this, Spred couldn't help but become sad, "I have to say that civilization is really fragile, it has developed to this extent but is still crushed by disasters, and in the end, only some ruins are left to show their existence." ”

Zhou Xin sighed, and then asked, "Is it true that there is no sign of any survivors surviving?" ”

"In the investigations carried out so far, the probe has not found any traces of recent civilization activity on the surface of the planet." Atlas replied in a heavy tone, "Even the last remaining land homes have sent probes to investigate." But there are no other discoveries on those islands other than traces of animal and plant activity. After saying that, she added, "In addition, from what has been investigated so far, no one has found conclusive evidence that that civilization left the planet after the catastrophe. Of course, people have also not found clues to deny this. But I'm afraid the chances of them being able to leave are low, because some of the clues they have found suggest that the catastrophe happened suddenly, and that civilization may not have had enough time to react. ”

"How is that possible?" As soon as the little girl's words fell, Spred objected, "Regardless of aquatic life, some terrestrial life on that planet has survived. As a high-level intelligent civilization, how could there be no survivors left? ”

"This person doesn't know, maybe the other party is hiding somewhere we haven't found yet, or maybe the survivor really managed to escape from this planet in a short time. But according to people's calculations, this probability is quite low. The little girl also seemed a little uncertain about Spred's questioning.

"Is it possible to determine what exactly is happening on the planet? What kind of catastrophe can be so fast that the entire civilization does not have enough time to react? Dart asked, confused.

"This is also the most confusing part of the family right now." Atlas replied, "From the results of the investigation, there is no trace of any other disasters on the planet, except that the sea level has risen significantly. Whether it's a drastic crustal shift, a volcanic eruption, or a catastrophe like a large meteorite, one can be sure that nothing has happened on this planet in the near future. So the only disaster that people can imagine now is the sudden explosion of the sea. ”

"Wasn't this mentioned before?" Dart asked, "Just the surge of the sea can't destroy the entire civilization, especially the civilization on the planet has also taken special precautions against the rise of the sea." ”

"No, if the sea rises very fast, it can still be done." Atlas shook his head and corrected, "According to people's calculations, the sea level will have to rise by more than 100 meters in at least a day to achieve the level of damage we are seeing now. It's just that what people are observing on the planet today doesn't meet the conditions for this to happen at all. ”

"Another planet full of mysteries." Zhou Xin scratched his head in annoyance, "Why can't we meet a relatively normal planet." After sighing, he reluctantly continued, "Forget it, what do you want to do, just continue to investigate." Then he asked, "Are there any other discoveries in the investigation?" ”

"Most of the investigations are still ongoing, and we haven't had a reliable result yet." The little girl replied, and after a few seconds, she seemed to remember something, "Oh, yes. The remains of those humanoids that had been found in the ruins of the town earlier, and their preliminary examination results were also in. Brother Captain, do you want to take a look first? ”

"Now that it's out, let's take a look."

"Hmm." Atlas nodded, and a new image quickly appeared on the screen. At the same time, she spoke, "Compared to the low architecture of that civilization on the planet, they are probably not short at all. So far, the longest of the skeletal specimens that have been pieced together has exceeded two meters in length, and the rest of the slightly more severely mutilated ones are more than one meter seven. Based on this, the height of the adult individual of that civilization should generally be more than two meters two. ”

"This is probably the tallest civilization we've heard of so far." Zhou Xin added thoughtfully, and as he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the low Spred next to him. As for Spred, when Atlas said the number two meters, he already had a somewhat depressed expression on his face.

Of course, Zhou Xin and the others are well aware that the characteristic of height is easily affected by the environmental conditions in which the individual lives in it. So, it didn't take long for their attention to just focus on Spred, and then refocused on the little girl on the screen......
