Chapter 14: Easter Island

(Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, ask for book reviews, all kinds of requests)

Easter Island is a volcanic island with a triangular shape throughout the island. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The bird's-eye view of info is like an alien tarmac in a science fiction movie. It is a tropical maritime climate with fertile soil, rich in sugarcane, bananas and corn. With the exception of the three extinct volcanoes at the top of the island's three corners, the rest of the island is flat, so animal husbandry is the main source of the island's economy.

The original inhabitants of the island are Rapa Nui people, so this island is also called Rapa Nui Island. This island was originally one of the many small islands in Chile, one of the most inconspicuous ones.

It is famous for the stone statues on the island. Humans call it the Easter Island Stone Statue, and of course, this puzzle is also called the Easter Island Stone Statue Mystery.

It is a lonely island, an island forgotten by the world. It is also 2,000 kilometres west of the inhabited island, Pitcairn Island.

Their natives have always believed in the power of the gods, even to the point of going mad. In order to build these statues, the original inhabitants consumed so much of the island's natural resources that when they first discovered the island, there was not a single tree on the island.

These stone statues stand quietly on the seashore, facing the sea, with indifferent expressions and majestic expressions, as if waiting for God's holy presence, and as if lamenting God's injustice. These stone statues have rich facial expressions, with long and narrow foreheads, high noses, deep sunken eye sockets, pouted mouths, large earlobes and shoulders, and arms close to the abdomen. Coupled with eyes made of particularly shiny obsidian or glowing shells, they make them particularly expressive.

They are like airport navigation lights on the tarmac, guiding the gods of heaven and leading them home.

The most puzzling thing is how the many stone statues on the fallen are carried to the island, these stone statues that are ten meters high and weigh 90 tons are simply impossible masterpieces in the era of cold weapons, if it is a stone statue, it is fine, now there are hundreds of them. Because the basalt of these statues is not from this island, there are no stones on this island where the statues were built. Who is it? Traveling thousands of miles to bring these stones to the island? How to ship? And who carved these exquisite stone statues? What is the purpose? These puzzles, which have plagued archaeologists and anthropologists for centuries, have not yielded a satisfactory outcome.

It wasn't until 2151 that the sun mysteriously shattered, setting off a ray storm in the solar system, destroying the Earth's atmosphere and nearly destroying human civilization. It took two years for the remaining humans to move underground. The ground is almost devoid of humans. No one can be completely exposed to this radiation intact. Of course, there are exceptions, except for the indigenous people in the densely forested and foggy Amazon basin, the primitive tribes have escaped this catastrophe. As for Easter Island in the center of the ocean, the navel of the world, there is not a single tree on the island, not even a single fortification resembling a bomb shelter. Naturally, no one will survive.

As a result, the scene on Easter Island now looks even more depressed. The stone statues on both sides of the avenue lie or stand on the side of the road. The weeds had covered them, but now the weeds had withered and were all piled up on the base of the statue. The central altar of the stone statue was submerged.

A gust of wind blew, and an attraction sign blew around Kyle and Yi San, and the paint on the billboard had fallen off, and in some places it had corroded rust holes.

"Actually, the island was abandoned a long time ago. Before the sun breaks. At that time, few young people said the idea of walking around, and somatosensory games could meet all their requirements. These young people are all dressed in bright clothes to visit their Alice Dreams, which is a thousand times more real and magical than these places. Coupled with the somatosensory device, it can be detected by an electronic mosquito bite. So, the new generation of young people is like a snail inside a snail's shell, never getting out of that house for the rest of their lives. Kyle is dissecting society in the 22nd century for Yi San.

Yi San disagreed, if it was in a peaceful society, if there was a device like a three-dimensional dot matrix, he would not want to come out in the sun and rain to suffer this crime.

Kyle and Yi San didn't go far either, moving in a fan-shaped area centered on James and Kevin, so that they could easily converge in case of an emergency.

Soon Yi San and they saw a bare mountain. The brick-red volcanic rocks are very bright and glaring, and the rocks have not been weathered much, and it seems that new geological activity has pushed the rocks out of the formation.

The volcano is 10 steep and was originally close to the beach on one side, but now the coastline has been lowered, so the volcano is a steep cliff on one side and a reef-covered cliff on the other.

Looking at this majestic mountain, Yi San looked at Kyle helplessly, these mountains, to go up with bare hands, there are really some difficulties.

"Let's go back first, it's hard to conquer this mountain without some tools, we need some probes, otherwise it's really hard to find an entrance to a small cave or something like this." Kyle thinks he's almost done, and if he wants to go deeper, he'll need everyone to be together. After all, almost all of their devices now rely on James' computer.

"No, why do you think that most secret places are hidden in caves? Do all bases have this kind of setting? "Yi San wondered why Kyle thought that if there was a secret base here, the entrance should be a cave.

"Isn't that so? So what do you think is hidden that is not hidden? Kyle thinks Yi San is naïve.

"That's right, if you want to say that there is really an example, those transparent creatures are not hidden, but we haven't found it!" Yi San nodded and shook his head again.

"Let's go, let's go back first, I don't know how they are resting." Kyle prepares to head back.

"I think people really have limitations, you must have lived in the Alpine base at the entrance of the cave for a long time, so that your subconscious mind feels that if there is a base, there must be a cave. Just like me, when my grandfather used to hide things, he didn't hide them in boxes, but just threw them in an obvious place. I'm going to have to look for a long time. After finding it, he told me, don't think that everything you hide should be in a box or cupboard, sometimes, the truth is often the most unexpected thing. Don't look at the surface, you just need to know what you're looking for and keep looking for it. As for hindrance and frustration...... "Yi San muttered non-stop as he walked.

"Are you following James too much, why are you as verbose as him?" Kyle felt that Yi San was getting more and more verbose.

"No, I think we're just walking, it's so quiet around that we feel a little embarrassed not to talk. If I don't speak, it makes me feel like we're going to the moon. Yi San felt that the surroundings were really quiet and terrifying.

"Look, what then?" Yi San looked up at the sky and pointed incredulously at the horizon.
