Section 72 Underground Space

I didn't expect that the villagers of a small, closed and backward village could actually build a flying machine.

Elder Zam suddenly pushed me into the abyss, but he jumped off with it.

The abyss was not as deep as I imagined, and I was not broken to pieces, and below it was a fine sand, like the sand of the Golden Sea.

The patriarch got up and said to me, "I'll take you to our chief!" ”

It was pitch black in the abyss, but I could see at night, and Patriarch Zam was familiar with the road, and we soon entered a huge space.

It resembles a huge factory building, with countless dazzling balls of light hanging from the dome, and the ground is solid rock.

A large number of young men in silver tights were busy here, and Elder Zam introduced me to one of the middle-aged men, and then called a battery sightseeing car to carry me on.

The aisles were lined with huge iron frames with all sorts of metal parts, and I suspected myself entering a munitions factory, and in front of a lathe, we got out of the car. An old man with glasses introduced to us: "I am the chief engineer of aircraft development here. ”

"The aircraft you see in the night sky are all developed and assembled by us here, compared with the planes outside, the aircraft we developed are small in size and fast, but the disadvantage is that they cannot continue to fly for a long time."

I asked him, "If you can build these aircraft, why don't you build a large airliner?" And then take your companions out of here? ”

Jianqiu slowly explained to me: "Our goal is not to study manned airliners, but manned spacecraft, super-large, the academic term is manned spaceship, but the biggest problem is the power of the spacecraft." ”

Spacecraft developed by humans are usually fueled by petroleum and also powered by solar energy, but this does not solve the problem of long-range flight.

I said, "Have you ever considered nuclear power?" ”

The other party shook his head and denied: "Although nuclear power is strong and long-lasting, it has radiation and cannot be used in spacecraft, because there will be all kinds of radiation in the universe, and the fuel we are considering is a meteorite from outer space." ”

"This meteorite has existed since ancient times, and the last time it fell on Earth was in 1908 of the last century, in the Tunguska region of the Evenki Autonomous Okrug of Siberia!"

I said, "The Tunguska explosion!" ”

"Yes, this meteorite only needs a fist-sized one to produce such a great power, equivalent to the power produced by the explosion of 10-15 million tons of TNT explosives."

"And the crystal skull that Zawang asked you to find is the activation device of this meteorite, although it is very difficult to find, but it cannot be replaced by us!"

I said frankly: "If this meteorite is discovered by humans, wouldn't the earth be very dangerous?" ”

Jianqiu confidently said: "Don't worry, although this meteorite codenamed KCT178 is huge, it is just like uranium, I give you a kilogram of uranium, you can't make an atomic bomb, and the technology that also stimulates the power of KCT178 is only mastered by us, and it must be placed in the spacecraft left by our ancestors!" ”

Chengqiu got into the battery car and drove me on, and after passing through three behemoth safety doors, I saw this huge spaceship.

The surface of this ancient spaceship is grayish-brown, and the volume is indescribable.

Cheng Qiu pressed a button on the wall, a door opened, and he led me inside.

I felt like I had entered the old capital with a roof, and I opened the door of a roadster and pressed the button next to the steering wheel, and the lights came on, signaling me to sit down next to him.

Because the ship is so large and the internal structure and architectural layout are complex, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sealed city.

I looked up at my watch, and it showed nine o'clock.

It's not so much an ancient and massive spaceship as a city that can fly.

"The larger the volume of the object, the more power it consumes to move, and the greater the resistance, according to the last words left by our ancestors, there are thirteen crystal skulls on this spaceship, all of which are the power core of the spacecraft, but some of these crystal skulls have run out of energy, and some can still be used, but they were lost in an ancient battle, and the only one was stolen by the British in 1901 in the last century, but this crystal skull was not taken out of China by the British." ”

I added: "This crystal skull may have been lost somewhere in the three southwestern provinces, and it is extremely difficult to find it!" ”

Jianqiu nodded yes and continued to introduce: "When the spaceship that our ancestors rode crashed to the earth, it originally landed on the west side of the Himalayas, which is now India, resulting in a fierce battle, which is recorded in the ancient Indian epics "Mahabharata" and "Ramayana", although this spaceship fell into India, it can still fly, so our ancestors drove the spaceship over the Himalayas and hid under the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. ”

"Our tribe has been coming to Earth for 10,000 years, and the only purpose is to repair this spaceship, and then take the people out of Earth and return to our planet!"

"But in the last 100 years, more life from other planets has come to Earth in their spacecraft, and they have also come to find the meteorite KCT178."

I asked, "This KCT178 meteorite is not native to Earth, so why don't they look for it in the place of origin?" ”

Cheng Qiu replied: "I don't know about that. ”

He said to himself: "Our planet produces this kind of meteorite, but it has been depleted by our ancestors, and they are also looking for this energy source or alternative energy source in the universe. ”

Inside this sealed spaceship, I was almost dazzled by what he watched, and the most impressive thing for me was the ship's subships.

These subships vary in size, from large ones that are longer and wider than a train, to smaller ones that resemble a single-person electric car.

However, these subships have fallen into disrepair and cannot be used, so they can only be used as displays.

I dared to ask Cheng Qiu, "Can you give me a small flying machine so that I can search for the crystal skull more conveniently?" ”

The other party immediately refused, and then explained: "It's not that I'm stingy, but for our safety." There is more than one alien on Earth today, but almost every alien is eyeing us, especially you, who can find us through you and then take energy from us. ”

"But it's too difficult for me to find the crystal skull, it's almost an impossible task!"

Cheng Qiu responded: "Don't worry, although we can't help you with the aircraft, we can give you assistance from other aspects, such as funds, and your superpowers!" ”

"What superpowers?" I was drawn to his promise.

Cheng Qiu took me into a room and turned on the light, the interior of this room was very clean, there was glass all around, but I couldn't see the outside.

In the middle of the room was a black operating table, surrounded by a large computer, and the screen lit up with symbols that I couldn't read at all.

"This is the operating room where we transform our bodies, and we will transform our bodies to be close to you, and we will try to transform your bodies to make you stronger."
