Chapter Twenty-Nine: The TA Underground
In the patchwork images sent back by the probes, Kungo saw a broken wreck still navigating through space, like a corpse on a trek, moving forward after death.
"What the hell is this place?" Rao is well-informed, but Kunwu is still shocked.
He had seen several planetary fortresses, he had witnessed earth-shattering wars in his dreams and conscious memories, he had witnessed several planetary fortresses colliding together to form a large ring, and he had witnessed Nadakh sleeping in the sea of silence.
But the wreckage of the guest in front of him still moved him.
"I don't know, there is not enough data. But inferring from the previous situation, there should be something more here! The gentleman's tone was calm, perhaps because he had witnessed more than Kunwu, or perhaps simply because he couldn't make too many sighs in his current state.
Kungo smacked his lips, "You mean the changes that have occurred since I came here?" ”
"You were actively sucked to the ground by this thing, and because of your resurrection, there is an ecological environment adapted to your existence. This says two things! The gentleman raised two tentacles.
Kun Wu nodded: "First, what is watching me here, even if it is an automatic degree, it means that there is something here that still maintains the possibility of communicating with the outside world!" ”
"Second!" The gentleman continued, "That being knows something about you, to be precise, it has the concept of the ecosphere, the concept of the basic ecological environment that you need for a standard type III human physical life!" ”
Kungo remembered: "I don't really understand the way the Empire classifies life forms, and Standard Type III refers to standard human appearance? ”
"No, that's just one aspect, what really divides is the 'basic life survival index'. Standard Type III is all highly intelligent ecological species that can live in the same ecological environment as pure-blooded Landor people! The gentleman explained.
"So a certain being here knows this criterion, that is, it is very likely that it is an imperial creation! At the very least, it is also the creation of a vassal race associated with the Empire! Kungo slapped his face, "Looks like we've found another amazing thing!" ”
"But it's just finding, not touching. The other party has not taken the initiative to contact you so far, it seems that it is either a limitation of ability, or they don't want to contact you at all! The gentleman turned around, "Maybe the other party thinks the same as me before, let you live here honestly until you die!" ”
Kungo rolled his eyes: "You're really a guy with a super bad personality. Can't you say something nice? He pouted, "It seems that we can explore a little more intensely now." Turn on holographic scanning, probes, and I want you to go wherever you can and into all the recon missions you can do! ”
The five probes quickly disappeared from view and began a new mission.
"Are you sure that being would agree with you being so rude?" Make the gentleman squint at Kungo.
Kungo shrugged: "Not sure, and I don't care." No matter what kind of change it will cause, it is important that there is change. Or are you afraid of being in danger for a moment? ”
His face was full of expressions: "Don't be afraid, come on, come, I will protect you!" ”
The gentleman projected a big white eye: "Disgusting guy, your mind is not normal, I will set you up to treat it!" ”
Kun Wu laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not normal and it's not a matter of a day or two!" ”
Such a shameless admission made the gentleman quite speechless.
Another hour passed, and this time the probes sent back news that they had discovered a place that resembled an entrance and exit in a place a hundred kilometers away from Kunwu.
However, the entrance and exit were sealed, and there was a high-energy response, and the probes did not perform a destructive scan according to the reconnaissance protocol, but only sent the message back.
Kun Wu and the envoy gentleman naturally rushed there quickly.
Then they saw a fairly regular, even brand-new entrance.
The entrance and exit are topped by a brand new alloy gate, and there is not a single scratch on the door, not even a trace of time erosion.
"The new one here is a bit too much. And this style is not so much built as grown! Kungo pointed to the junction between the entrance and the ground.
The gentleman circled around the entrance, and without knowing what he had encountered, the door at the entrance suddenly opened silently.
The gentleman made a whistle-like voice: "It seems that the other party's meaning is obvious, please come in!" ”
Kungo grinned: "Then go in and have a look, I hope the owner here will be hospitable, I'm so hungry that I can eat anything now!" ”
So the gentleman rolled up a stone from the ground: "Take it." That's one of those things! ”
Kungo rolled his eyes, grabbed one of the envoy's tentacles, and strode towards the passage behind the gate.
"You bastard, let me go. I'm telling you, don't go so far, you ...... Oh shit, you knocked me to the floor, let me go, I'll go on my own! ”
In this way, the two "men" entered the gate and followed a long, winding passage to the underground.
"The new ones here are just like the ones that have just been generated, and they do seem to have just grown! How does that being survive underground? Don't you need space? "Kunwu was discussing this issue with the envoy on the road.
But most of the time the gentleman does not give any answer.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, it seemed as if time had become strange in this long winding passage, and after a period of time that neither Kungo nor the gentleman could record or perceive, they finally came to a hall.
A circular hall, like the gate and passageway, was completely new, as if it had just grown.
In the middle of the hall there are two positions, a couch-like place for humans to sit on, and a platform where autonomous robots can be parked, with something similar to a charging interface on it.
"That's sweet!" Kungo stepped forward and sat on the sofa with a big grin.
"We're already here, can you show up?"
After Kungo's words fell, the lights in the hall dimmed, but the surrounding circular walls slowly brightened.
Several figures appeared in front of Kungo and the envoy.
The two "people" exclaimed at the same time.
"Bai Min!"
