Entering the ruins, Dong Xuan's first feeling was spectacular.
The entire dead city was unusually vast and magnificent, and even his eyes, strengthened by the baptism of mana, could not see that the strangely styled building under the shield was at the end of the opposite direction.
Of course, the sheer size of the mountain does not shock modern people who are accustomed to all kinds of skyscrapers and reinforced concrete mountains.
But if many of these buildings were not connected to the ground, but were floating in mid-air, imagine that no human being would be able to remain calm in such a scene!
"What a shocking sight."
Looking up at the huge circular shield that held up a vast world in the dark and pitch-black rocks, and touching the metallic buildings, his heart could be said to be full of amazement at the moment.
"This civilization, according to the standards of destroying the universe, has at least reached the level of an intermediate mechanical civilization!"
Intermediate civilizations already have the ability to fully develop their own planets, and even have the ability to completely inhabit this star system and explore and explore the wider universe!
This is undoubtedly a power that needs to be looked up to by humanity today.
Just like the modern army and the primitive man with the obsidian axe, it is completely an absolute crushing of the civilization level!
Although in the inheritance of the God of Wisdom, civilizations that are much more exaggerated than this civilization level abound, but after all, it is just a kind of information and reflection, giving people the feeling of watching a science fiction movie, far from the reality of what they see with their own eyes at this moment.
"However, it is a pity that no matter how strong it is, it is also destroyed by the power of nature"
Perhaps the creation from such a powerful cosmic-level civilization lives up to its technological level of strength, for example, looking across from the mid-air where he is now, with the help of the light revealed by the gap when he enters, he can clearly see that the city encased in a huge circular transparent shield is inclined about twenty degrees.
It is conceivable how this huge shield was immovable under the natural disaster force of the volcanic eruption, resisting one of the terrible powers of nature in this world, and even in the face of tens of thousands of years of time.
However, the creation remains, but the man who made it is gone.
As long as you look at the dust deposited in the entire city, which must be thick as if it is about to submerge Dong Xuan, you can see that there should be no signs of any life activity here.
The shield can resist the high temperature erosion of lava, but it can't resist the highly toxic gases that accompany it, and even after such a long time, there are still some highly toxic gases including sulfur dioxide left in the entire space.
"Perhaps, this is the real reason why these terrible unknown lives will be destroyed"
Looking at the warning that the detector was constantly lit up, and the air contained trace amounts of various toxic gases, Dong Xuan shook his head and reached out to take off the oxygen mask on his face.
Although there are still remnants of toxic gases, at this level of content, it may be a great threat to ordinary people, but for him whose body has been fully enhanced by mana baptism, it is nothing at all, and the powerful lungs will easily filter out these things.
Without the oxygen mask that somewhat obstructed his vision, Dong Xuan, who was gradually falling towards the ground, first lost a dark vision on his body.
The effect of this arcane is actually very similar to that of a night vision device, even in this extreme darkness after use, Dong Xuan can see things around him, the only drawback is that the picture is the same as the night vision device, only black and white, which will make people feel very uncomfortable.
"On the whole, it seems that my current position should be in a place where the whole complex is approaching the edge."
Carefully falling to the ground, Dong Xuan stepped on it, and found that the dust under his feet had begun to show signs of hardening and hardening, which was completely able to support his weight.
In this way, he doesn't need to turn on the levitation technique all the time, without this consumption is definitely not a small burden, and saving more mana will also help him deal with more unknown dangers.
"But where do you start?"
It's obviously too big, much bigger than the part of the island that is exposed to the sea!
If you search a little bit, it is estimated that Dong Xuan can really think about the question of where he spent the Chinese New Year this year
"Generally, important buildings are in the center, why don't you go directly to the central area?"
Anyway, there was no goal, Dong Xuan thought of it, and walked directly along the road that was no longer visible at all, straight towards the central area below the slope.
During this period, Dong Xuan tried to enter the surrounding buildings many times, but he couldn't find the door to enter at all, whether it was those buildings that fell to the ground or those magical buildings that were suspended in the air, they all seemed to be poured directly, and there were no gaps, so he was completely at a loss.
"Would you like to try it through?"
Touching his chin, Dong Xuan once again activated the Earth Elemental Void, but unfortunately found that the metal-like building materials in front of him seemed to be completely unable to penetrate because of their high density.
And after gesturing with the grenade in his hand for a long time, he finally gave up the method of opening the door violently for the time being.
"Forget it, if there is any defense system inside, it will be troublesome, let's go to the center first and see if there will be any clues."
With this decision, Dong Xuan suddenly sped up, completely ignoring all kinds of buildings that couldn't see the situation inside at all along the way and went straight to the center, and as the distance narrowed, he soon vaguely found that it seemed to be an empty, square-like area.
"Is it like a human being, with a square or garden in the middle of the city?"
However, Dong Xuan quickly overturned this speculation, because soon a building standing there, incomparably tall, came into his eyes.
This strange building located on the ground, at least more than 50 meters high and more than 10 meters wide, presents a kind of rectangle as a whole, standing unusually abruptly in a huge open area, which can be said to be the landmark building of the entire "alien city" at a glance.
However, on closer inspection, this building is a little strange, because it seems to be only three or four meters wide, and there are no patterns, and the whole looks like a flat and smooth stone monument, or a door?
"What the hell is this for?"
Although there was only a piece of black and white in his eyes, out of instinctive judgment, Dong Xuan felt that the building material of the entire "Giant Gate" was something similar to jade, and even the feel he tentatively touched it was very similar.
However, jade does not have such great strength, and even if there is such a large volume of jade, it will have already broken under its own pressure if it was made into such a strange appearance.
Moreover, it seems that because of the material, there is a vacuum area of about one centimeter of dust around the entire giant gate, and you can see the real ground covered under the dusty pavement of about half a meter from the gaps.
"Such a magical material, if you make a non-stick pan, you can't monopolize the market of the entire earth?"
Of course, Dong Xuan was just thinking about it.
This precious unknown material, if you really want to get it, you have to send it to the laboratory for analysis and testing as soon as possible, and no one will really have the luxury of making a pot out of this jade material directly.
"If this thing is really some kind of device, there should at least be something operating nearby, right?"
Dong Xuan looked around again, and there was really another discovery.
Just behind the "giant gate", he found a platform about one meter high, also covered in dust, and next to the platform there was a small "jade gate" of the same material as the "giant gate" and about the same height as him.
Dong Xuan walked over and directly waved his hand and threw out several rotating wind blades to slash away the volcanic ash that had become a little hard layer by layer, suddenly revealing a metallic operating table.
"If you remove the hardened volcanic ash, the platform should be about one and a half meters high, and the stone gate should be nearly two meters."
Judging from this size, it is obvious that this vanished civilization should be at least similar to the current human race in terms of size, at least in terms of Dong Xuan's personal imagination, it really can't imagine that a giant of more than three meters has to bend down every day to operate an operating console that is only one meter and a half.
That's just too bad
As the only thing that seemed to be able to find some clues about this place so far, he took out a dagger and carefully sharpened it with his hands after removing the rough amount of volcanic ash from the time-buried console.
After all, he is only a level 4 arcanist at the moment, and he has not had time to specialize in any arcane specialization, so it is safer to use his hands than the wind blade.
"You must have words and other things! If this continues, I will wonder if this civilization has a physical inheritance! ”
It's not surprising that civilizations don't have actually written words.
At least in the knowledge inherited by Dong Xuan, there are many races with developed innate spiritual power in the civilization that has destroyed the universe and do not have such a thing as words, because the communication between their spirits is a means of communication and information exchange with higher efficiency and better effect.
Even some races with super strong spiritual power can completely connect the spiritual power of the entire race to form an incomparably vast spiritual network, achieving the same magical effect as the virtual community of mechanical civilization!
Of course, if this is the case, it will definitely be extremely bad news for Dong Xuan.
Because he really couldn't think of how he could communicate spiritually with a group of guys who might have been extinct for tens of thousands of years, should he learn to summon spirits like the legendary Onmyoji?
