73. The chains of fate entwined

In this way, it seems that the images in the small number of records that have survived to this day should have been read by Beizhai, but the noisy sound imitated in her mouth made people too dramatic, and the atmosphere that she obviously felt very tense was ruined by her.

As for where Beizhai knew these secrets that even Yuan Yi had never heard of, the latter didn't care much, after all, it could be related to the old guy Maidas, and Beizhai's identity back then should not be simple if you think about it carefully. Maybe the secretary of the logistics department is just a front...... It's just that she didn't want to talk about this kind of thing, so Yuan Yi didn't ask any further.

Yuan Yi suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Bam, "Did the old humans really fly over this sky and reach the moon?" ”

Bam smiled and nodded, "Of course." ”

"The moon is uninhabitable?"

"That's right."

Yuan Yi scratched his head: "Forget it, let's talk about the present." ”

He sorted out the information he had obtained in his brain a little, and after sorting out the clues, he spoke: "According to what Bei Zhai just said, if the information she has read is true, doesn't that mean that we can find a thousand old humans and the technology and equipment they have in this tower?" ”

"Or a corpse." Bam corrected.

He is right, the catastrophe is more than a hundred years ago, and it is hard to imagine how the other party survived the dark years and has been sustained until now.

"Let's go up and have a look." Yuan Yi did not continue to say anything more on this topic, the so-called practice is the only criterion for testing truth. But he still reminded him: "Everyone be careful." ”

Both the shipwives and Bam nodded.

This Tower of Babel has a total of 333 floors.

Just thinking about it, you can know how difficult it will be to climb this Babel Tower, especially when Yuan Yi personally practiced it, only to find that the design of this thing is simply a trick. There was no elevator to the inside, not even a staircase, and they had to walk slowly up the outer ring of the tower, circling around the tower, and by the time they had finally reached the top, two and a half hours had passed.

Thinking that they would have to spend the same amount of time to return the same way today, Yuan Yi even had the heart to die.

Of course, this is also to say, Yuan Yi probably didn't expect that there was a thing called a transport plane, which could easily bring people from other places to this peak that was originally at tens of thousands of meters.

The only thing that put him in a better mood was that they found the entrance to the sanctuary.

Standing more than 100 meters wide and the size of two football fields, the sanctuary resembles an eerie upside-down disc embedded in the very top of the Tower of Babel. Bam told Yuan Yi that it was likely to be a split construction. In other words, if they are successfully rescued, the bottom floor of this large shelter-like will be separated from the tower of Babel and taken away by the opposing ship.

"So the fact that it's still here means that help hasn't come?" Yuan Yi asked.

"It's hard to say," Bam shook his head, "I don't think this Tower of Babel has been officially activated since it was built, otherwise it wouldn't have been buried in the rock in that form." ”

It can't be said that there is no such possibility, after all, the plan can never catch up with the changes, and if you think about it carefully, if Yuan Yi is in that irretrievable situation, the construction of this kind of refuge that consumes the country must also be kept secret. You have to think about it, if a Tower of Babel can hold 1,000 people, and 13 sanctuaries can survive 13,000, which is not even comparable to a small town, how many people in the world must have? And when the rest of the people know that they can't live, there is only one dead end left, and you can live, why?

Preserving the fire for the future of humanity?

Don't talk nonsense, desperate people will tear those in power to pieces.

As long as people with a little brain will not say anything about this matter, maybe it will be built on the top of a snow-capped mountain with no one in mind. As for why it didn't start, it's not that it's unthinkable, what if a major disaster broke out in advance, or something happened to the carrier plane while transporting people.

Yuan Yi and Bam gave full play to their imaginations, but what they didn't say was that the reason why they expected in this direction was because none of them wanted to open the door of the sanctuary and see a corpse in disarray and despair, and if they had to choose, they would die in the midst of not waiting for rescue, starvation, panic and violence, or be completely annihilated by the torrent of history that had been overturned in the first place.

Although it has the meaning of covering up and stealing bells, human beings are a species that can at least breathe a sigh of relief in the face of invisibility.

"Can it be opened?" Yuan Yi asked Bam.

The door to the sanctuary is an alloy door, which is not difficult to find, because it is more than 30 meters high and 60 meters wide, and the problem is that these alloy doors are tightly fitted, and even the air does not want to penetrate into it, how to open it is a science.

By the way, on the right side of the door there is a console. And Bam was busy in front of the console at the moment.

"It's been too long, I'll have to power this thing before I can try to activate it," Bam opened the toolbox handed by his hand, and quickly unpacked the wiring box under the console, rewiring it and turning it on. If you just look at his appearance as a weak young man, it is probably difficult to imagine that his small body actually contains such a ability.

"It's up to me to do the work myself, and they're going to do something more mundane than tinkering with a computer like I did," Bam said, gesturing to his henchmen, explaining why he did it himself, but one of his remarks revealed that he wasn't as confident as he had appeared: "I wish I could understand the assembly language of their programs." ”

After fixing the power issue, the console emitted a glowing blue light curtain that showed a security message that required authentication to pass.

"How's that, can you open it?" Yuan Yi asked.

If Bam couldn't figure it out, Yuan Yi wouldn't mind letting a few of his shipwives use brute force to destroy the door. It's just that under the premise that there is not much information now, Yuan Yi doesn't want to act too rashly.

"Give me a moment." Bam replied, his eyes fixed on the characters floating on the screen in front of him, his fingers darling over the keyboard he was engaged.

Although Yuan Yi didn't know much about what he was doing, he also knew that Bam was trying his best to open this door, so Yuan Yi still didn't mind waiting for this time. But I still hope that he can be faster, Yuan Yi doesn't want to spend the night in this cold place where there is nothing, this is thousands of meters above the ground, the oxygen is thin, and the temperature has dropped a lot, if he is not prepared to spend the night here, it will be enough.

"Wow, that's amazing from here." In my ears, there was the voice of Xue Feng with emotion.

It was not easy for her to climb up all the way, unlike Lin Xian and Chicheng, who gave up halfway.

Yuan Yi followed and glanced back, the magnificent scene of the sea of clouds outside the Tower of Babel.

Although there is really nothing but a cloud there, being here can express a sense of pride in itself. How many people can stand above the clouds and look down on the people? Not to mention the altitude of thousands of meters above sea level, it is not even common to find a 100-meter-high mountain on the ground now. But once he thought that the old humans who could easily do this at the beginning, and even broke through the shackles of this layer of sky, could not escape the fate that disappeared, Yuan Yi couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

In his mind, two doubts kept amplifying.

Just as their greatest enemy today is the deep sea, what is the culprit who caused the catastrophe and led to the destruction of the old human civilization?

And the ship mother and the deep sea, why do they exist?

Bam said that in the era in which he lived, neither the ship mother nor the deep sea existed.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yi became looking forward to whether he could find the answer here.
