Chapter Ninety-Five: Mysterious Life
"Old Shen, it's time for you to show your skills." Zhang Zongheng looked around.
"I don't need you to say it, I understand." Shen Heng replied confidently, everything around him revealed the characteristics of ruins and relics, and he believed that if he could know the answer to the question of what this place used to be, he would have a chance to determine what the dissidents were going to do.
He wandered through the vault, trying to find clues.
Meow jumped down and wandered around, somehow it seemed a little active, and it stared at the broken things scattered on the ground, which were countless fragments of energy blocks, which it ate in the blink of an eye.
"Wait, can you slow down and let me study it?"
"Isn't it just a fragment of an energy block?" Meow didn't mind and said, "Then I can have another electromagnetic cannon right away, and if you run into some powerful enemies, you don't have to be afraid, can you?" ”
"That's right... Maybe the only clue is eaten by you, what should I do? Shen Heng scolded meow, and before he could say a few words, he quickly noticed that there were many more energy block fragments in the dome space than he expected.
He walked further, and after inspection, he found that this place was completely filled with energy blocks in the past for a certain period of time, these energy blocks, the release of energy is extremely efficient, almost the same as fusion energy high-quality energy, but it is not too dangerous, Shen Heng can't imagine what it is to consume so many energy blocks to maintain.
He soon discovered a new clue, it was a large device buried in an energy block, functionally known to the ancient sages as the Dark Energy Engine, which was the technology of the end of the Second Age, and such a small engine was enough to release 10,000 times the amount of energy generated by humans worldwide.
"What? Old Shen, have you found anything? Zhang Zongheng came up.
Shen Heng replied solemnly: "Well, yes, what I can imagine is that in this space, there used to be something that required a lot of energy to maintain. ”
"Well, it's a pity that we can't imagine what the Dissidents are going to do?"
"Don't worry, let me keep looking. I just don't understand why there's only energy left here, isn't there some machinery, equipment, or anything like that? It's just weird. ”
Shen Heng searched slowly, and after half an hour, he finally finished exploring the dome space, only to find that there was really nothing else in the field except for the fragments of the energy block and the dark energy engine.
He could only return to the exit, sorting out a series of discoveries, and as he pieced together the directions of the countless energy blocks, he gradually had the answer in his mind, could it be that there was once such a thing in the space?
"What do you think?"
"Through the location of these energy block fragments, I do think of one thing, that is, the energy cage, such a thing that the ancient saints used to imprison life, if it is destroyed, it may be the scene in front of me."
"Energy Cage?"
Shen Heng nodded seriously: "That's right, it is a cage made of pure energy created by the Second Age technology, it can be used to imprison many powerful cosmic beings who have reached the level 10 of superpowers, because it is made of energy, so after it is destroyed, the energy will escape in the air, and there will be no trace left, and we will see these energies that drive the operation of the energy cage." ”
"I see, that is, it looks like a cage made of ice, and when it melts, you can't find anything?"
"It can be compared to this, so I think the answer is about to be revealed, what dangerous lives may the dissidents have taken from this underground world, which can be used to subvert the human world, and too many ordinary people are involved in the release process, and as a result, they are all accidentally killed."
"The explanation is reasonable, it would be nice to know what kind of life in the universe is." Zhang Zongheng encouraged: "I didn't expect you to think of the answer so quickly, it's good that you are here, otherwise I would only be able to take a few photos and go back to my life." ”
"I'm just giving you a rough guess, the ancient sages managed the civilization of hundreds of millions of galaxies in the universe, and there are too many types of life in the universe under their rule, if there are no characteristics, I can't answer, at most give a few possible answers."
"If there's no way to know what's going on, let's go out first." Zhang Zongheng knew that the clues in the Dome World had been investigated, and it was useless for them to stay here.
While they wanted to leave, Meow was still reluctant, Shen Heng asked curiously: "Let's go, haven't you eaten yet?" ”
"No, no, of course I wasn't full, didn't you notice that these blocks of energy were all empty?"
"Empty?" Shen Heng stood still, it stands to reason that the energy block is extremely stable, even if the energy cage is destroyed, there is no reason why the energy in the energy block will be exhausted.
"Ahh Shen Heng suddenly understood, he didn't expect Meow to give such a gratifying clue at such a critical moment: "Zongheng, now I can target several limited lifeforms, I guess maybe the energy block was absorbed by the dangerous life before leaving, and the ordinary people who died in those photos also have such characteristics, so I deduce that it may be an energy-devouring life." ”
"Then there are so many kinds of qualifications, and the first one is undoubtedly -"
"A staggering variety of energy life lineages, including Tasaba, are all subject to suspicion."
"Do you think my people did it?"
"It's just a guess, you don't have to be so sensitive, I just think that only powerful energy beings are qualified to be imprisoned here by the ancient sages."
"That's pretty much it." Meow was in a better mood.
Shen Heng explained: "Later, it may be a cosmic life called the Sea of Soul Snatchers, they are a strange plant, relying on stellar energy or geothermal, underground ores for life, their environmental adaptability is very strong, they can survive on the surface of the stellar corona of millions of degrees Celsius, and they are like viruses, which have amazing damage to the living environment and are irreparable, so the ancient sages often send fleets to deal with them regularly to prevent them from turning the entire star system into a wasteland." ”
"And the Void Spirits, they are characterized by people with similar abilities, who know how to activate abilities, but they do not have their own energy reserve organs, they are not energy beings, and more often they are activated with the help of external energy sources, so as to enhance the effect of their abilities."
……
"In other words, the possible targets are among the three?"
"The likelihood is extremely high, and if you reply with such an answer, the Ruins Integration Agency will definitely be satisfied."
"No problem. We've got it done. Zhang Zongheng nodded and said categorically: "They can't be dissatisfied." ”
