Chapter 235: Star Tomb Suspicion (1) [One Update]
When standing in front of this man-made city, Zhang Xiaowang couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration in his heart - technology is really amazing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He hadn't seen the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and the various heavenly palaces in the world, and he didn't know who built those heavenly palaces...... The kind of shack built out of styrofoam that costs tens of millions in the TV series is not counted.
But it would not be an exaggeration to say that the city in front of us was to be named something like 'Crystal Heavenly Palace' or 'Crystal Divine Kingdom'.
The surface of the entire city is dominated by transparent crystalline materials, which exude a mysterious and clean light. Even though it has been mottled and dilapidated by the meteor shower, the unique temperament of the shocking intelligent creation is still intoxicating.
The all-metal gates of the city were smashed and potholed, but they were still closed, guarding the last dignity of the city's founder. Zhang Xiaowang and the Panda Spirit drilled through a broken crystalline wall, and a ghostly sound faintly came through the mecha auditor, and he hesitated for a moment before he realized that it was the sound of the wind sweeping through the countless broken places in the city.
The scene inside was much more tragic than the outside, and the first thing I saw was the kind of giant cars holding the sealed cabin of the boarding bridge that the secretary said, they were like toys that had been abandoned in the deserted house for a long time, staggering to the ground, and falling with thick dust.
Walking through the wreckage of the car, the Floating Star Castle saw the same tentacle robots reappear, but the scale here was larger, and the countless tentacle machines were almost all covered with damage, but they were lifeless, just silent, motionless.
At first glance, these near-ubiquitous tentacle robots don't look like repairers, but rather like intruders attacking the broken spots.
"They're running out of energy, and they don't have enough supplies to repair them......" the secretary machine's analytical light swept over the robots, it said.
As the city gradually unfolded in front of his eyes, and then thought of the previous Floating Star Castle, and even those combat robots on the home planet, Zhang Xiaowang became more and more strange about the technology of the Seven Star People. It's a bit like the old Maozi technology on the earth, obviously its essence is very high technology, but the appearance or material is extremely shoddy. There is an old saying in Huaxia that Jin Yu is defeated outside, and when it comes to the Seven Star People, it is the other way around-the defeat is outside, and Jin Yu is among them......
With more and more things to see, coupled with the analysis of the secretary machine, it is not difficult to speculate what happened here.
The meteors had passed through the city's energy shields, perhaps smashing the energy shield launchers, or smashing the energy delivery devices, tearing out the city's last and only protective layer, though the energy shields were of no use in front of the meteors.
Immediately after that, the photosynthetic energy gathering device was destroyed, or only partially destroyed, and the city lost its ability to generate light energy.
This was followed by the destruction of various ecosystems, with no survival on the inside and no rescue on the outside, and the city eventually turned from a crystal kingdom into a huge tomb where everyone was buried.
But strangely, the corpses of the Seven Stars are rarely found in this city, which is said to be inhabited by hundreds of millions of people, and it is only a long time before one or two corpses in full spacesuits are occasionally seen suspended in the air.
At first, Zhang Xiaowang thought that perhaps the hurricane had blown most of the bodies away as it swept through the city. But as they descended the hundredth kilometer into the city, the mystery was revealed by the detection radar's inadvertent subterranean vision.
It was a huge underground shelter, Zhang Xiaowang and the panda spirit hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go down and have a look. They found the entrance to one of the shelters, and the moment the metal door was opened, the harmful gas detection module began to beat wildly...... A solid pale green smoke erupted and quickly dissipated around it......
It took a few dozen seconds for the pale green smoke to thin out a bit. Zhang Xiaowang saw that the smoke no longer affected his vision, and he jumped down first.
Countless corpses were intertwined, and it was impossible to tell if they had died of the plague, of lack of oxygen, or of hunger and thirst. Zhang Xiaowang restrained the throbbing in his heart and drove the mecha to fly slowly, skimming over the corpses of these people, but he couldn't distinguish anything, they had almost melted into each other......
Hell...... Probably that's it......
"Leader, let's go." The panda spirit's voice was a little dry.
Leaving this shelter, the speed of the two of them tacitly accelerated, the city is too big, if you want to explore it all, it may take the two of them more than ten days or even months.
As the secretary kept analyzing, they had a rough idea of the city's structure. In this circular stepped city, the highest layer is the system center of the whole city, and the bottom layer is the cornerstone of the whole city's operation.
The two of them tried their best to control their curiosity about the strange surroundings, increased their speed to the maximum, and flew towards the top floor that was the center of the system.
When he arrived at the top floor, Zhang Xiaowang was shocked to find that the existence of this place, as the top floor of the city, was even better preserved than the one below. There's a reason for that, of course, the Seven Stars had apparently anticipated the probability of an attack like a meteorite meteor when they built the city. So they added a retractable metal shell several meters thick to the crystalline outer wall.
The secretary said that the metal is called molene steel, how awesome it is to describe, anyway, it was unscathed under the attack of this meteor shower, not even a scratch.
While looking for the entrance around the metal shell, Zhang Xiaowang suddenly found another question: "What about those meteor fragments?" The home planet burned out in the atmosphere, and the spaceport disappeared into space, but what about the ones that attacked the Floating Star Castle and the city? It can't be that there is no residue left, right? ”
The two of them circled around the metal shell, and found no material that seemed to be meteor residue, nor did they find a place to enter, so they had to spare a large circle and enter the center of the system through the traffic corridor on the first floor below.
The most basic lighting is still maintained, with a faint glow from some floor lamps or emergency lights, keeping the space completely enveloped in metal shells from going dark.
The surrounding installations seem to have become much more refined all of a sudden, and the aesthetics and materials have begun to be more in line with the tastes of a developed civilization. Because everything is so well preserved, nothing was found along the way, whether it was wreckage or robots, but this extreme emptiness and silence instead created an eerie palpitating feeling.
The two of them followed the radar-detected route all the way to the center, and soon, a silver-white oval building appeared in view. The exterior of this building is extremely smooth, and if it weren't for the open windows on it, it would be like a drop of mercury dropped by a god here.
Of course, it was much larger than a drop of mercury, at least the size of four or five nests, but only half the height of a nest.
But seeing this beautifully shaped building, Zhang Xiaowang's heart sank suddenly-on one of the walls of the building, there was a thick layer of brown dirt, and under the brown dirt were two broken corpses.
Zhang Xiaowang instantly thought of the crazy monsters on the home planet who were lining up to hit the armor of the building...... There was only one cause for the impact - there were living people inside!
