Chapter 3 The City of Spiritual Plants
The discovery of the coordinate-like engine proves that the planet is not a natural planet, but a highly modified, even completely artificially constructed planetary ark.
According to Amber's mutilated memories, when the Empire discovered that the demons were unstoppable, he helped his vassal races build a large number of planetary arks and let them start fleeing.
"This planetary ark must have a very special meaning, otherwise it would not have been recorded separately. I think it's either the vassal races here that are extremely important, or they carry something important! Kunwu said.
The crowd agreed.
"Now we need to find a way to get underground. If it's a planetary ark, then there must be something in it, maybe you can find the main engine room or something? "Lao Bai Dao.
Kungo nodded, and ordered the squid in space to adjust the proportions again, leaving all but the builders who needed the foundation, and sending all the others to the surface to explore.
The effect of such an order was remarkable, and seven hours later, on the other side of Kungo's planet, a squid discovered the ruins of a city.
The group boarded the Raven and quickly headed to their destination, only to discover why they had not seen the ruins of the city in the initial scan.
Because the city is completely submerged in a sea of plants. When the planet's surface biosphere disappears, these plants undergo an alienation reaction similar to petrification.
Over time, these petrified plants are no different from the rocky layers on the surface. So in the initial scanning, these plants were treated as rock layers, and naturally they were not discovered by Kungo.
"These plants, you see, should not have been covered after the city was abandoned, but the city was built into these plants from the beginning!" After carefully observing for a long time, Anyang came to a conclusion.
Kungo looked at Amber: "Are there still elves among the vassals of the empire back then?" Is there really such a long ear in this world? ”
Amber shook his head, but before he could explain, Apo shouted again, "That race is not called elves, but dryads, or planters. They are a rather special race, able to assimilate themselves to plants, possess extremely powerful spiritual powers, have a long lifespan, and are extremely rare races among the vassal races of the Empire! ”
Kun Wu snapped his fingers: "I understand, it's the essence of the plant!" ”
Everyone was silent, although it was a bit rude to say this, but according to the thinking of human beings on Earth, Kunwu's summary was really in place.
"So this is the planetary ark of the dryads? What about these plants! An Yang looked at the petrified plants around him, and suddenly felt some cold hands and feet, "Are they what the plant spirits look like after they die?" ”
Amber shook her head, "No, there are two life forms of plant spirits. The first life form is the plant spirit form, and their appearance is similar to that of humans, and their ears are indeed the same as my brother said, a little pointy. When they die in their first form, they transform into their second form, which is the pure soul form. In this transformation process, their original first form of body will be used as the energy supply unit at the time of transformation, and it will be completely digested! ”
"So when the plant dies, it doesn't leave any corpses behind! And they don't actually have the concept of 'death' in the ordinary sense, because the plant spirits that have become the second form can be reborn according to their own wishes or become the existence of racial spirits! It was also because of the help of the Phytolls that the empire completed all the research on soul science back then! ”
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Kun Wu patted his head: "Look, I'll just say, these guys are elves, with long ears!" ”
An Yang cast a contemptuous look at this guy: "You have listened to it for a long time, and you have heard a long ear?" ”
While chatting about the story of the plant spirit, everyone explored the ruins of the city, hundreds of squid have spread, and at the same time, there are elite squid led by S1S2 by Kungo's side, they are not only explorers, but also sentinels.
How did the Golden Empire end up that year? Even Amber and Awa weren't 100% sure that there wouldn't be a demon infected here, or even a dormant demon.
There's nothing wrong with being cautious.
"Phytophiles are peaceful, curious, and full of an inquisitive spirit. They joined the Empire camp in the middle and late stages of the Empire, and it was because of their participation that the Empire completed all the research on souls! Amber gave information about the spirits.
When he said this, he paused, and his expression was a little awkward.
Kungo took over the conversation: "But it's because they have completely mastered the study of souls that the people of Lando feel that they are powerful, so they invented the demons!" ”
This is indeed a rather embarrassing topic, but it is true.
Of course, this pot can't be carried by Zhiling, but it's still a little embarrassing when it is mentioned, especially a Lando like Amber.
"In the later stages of the empire's development, there was indeed a great deal of blindness. We have ruled half the universe and are rapidly moving towards more parts of the universe. According to our calculations, within a thousand years, the Empire could encompass the entire universe under its control. At that time, we can start to study things outside the universe that have been modeled for a long time, but have not been in a position to study them! ”
Apo's voice sounded at this time, without that cheap tone, but with a helpless sigh.
"It was this arrogant blindness that made us take one wrong step, and then one wrong step, one wrong step, and finally the empire was destroyed!"
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and Kungo patted his face, wanting to change the subject: "Beyond the universe? Is there really some parallel universe or something? ”
"We have some suspicions, but we don't have evidence either!" Po sighed, then suddenly let out another loud whistle, "Oh, something interesting. Vector 89, go over there and have a look! ”
Everyone knew that Apo's scanning ability was only stronger than Amber's, and even better than Amber in some energy-related scans, so everyone immediately ran in the direction Apo said.
The results were pleasantly surprised.
What looked like a terminal appeared in front of everyone.
In what could have been a pavilion-like building, behind a half-collapsed stone pillar, there was a machine that looked like leaves, and most importantly, there was an extremely faint surge of energy in that machine.
This suggests that this thing may still be able to start.
