211. a control center
"It doesn't seem too unusual. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Ankang was also carefully observing the surrounding environment when he left, although the terrain of this place had been scanned by the drones who had entered the early days, and the detailed map had already been entered into the power armor of all the people who entered the Golden Palace, but after many years of habits, Ankang was still more accustomed to seeing is believing.
"It seems to be true, but don't you feel a faint sense of comfort along the way?"
A technician walking in front of Ankang said this while pointing to several places in the aisle: "The combination of these places can make people feel harmonious visually, and can make people feel relaxed in the senses, I have to say that I am very skeptical that this so-called pre-civilization is the ancestor of our human civilization." ”
"Ah, I don't know much about that."
Although he looked in the direction that the researcher was pointing, Ankang still didn't understand how these seemingly inconsistent details could make people feel relaxed.
But when I crossed my eyes, I unexpectedly saw a mural.
In fact, these decorations that are functionally similar to the paintings in human buildings are not uncommon in the entire Golden Palace, and among the information that can be collected so far, as long as Ankang searches for the keyword "murals", you can find more than 13,000 murals that have been scanned so far, and at the same time, there are quite a lot of murals and reliefs distributed in all corners of this control room along the way.
Although there are no works of art that can accurately reflect the lives of individuals and groups of this civilization, they are also a major material for human research on this civilization.
Perhaps because this place is a "space station", most of the murals and sculptures scanned so far are basically natural scenery.
But this one is different.
The background of the mural is supposed to be a distant universe, but the edge of this universe has a soft layer of gold, which gradually changes from light to thick and finally forms the edge of this mural.
It is precisely because of this golden "border" that An Kang thinks that this thing is a mural and nothing else.
But the main body of the whole mural is obviously not only the cosmic painting and the golden light, but also the seven drop-shaped drawings in the center, one large and six small.
The big droplet is in the middle of the frame, and then there are two smaller droplets on each side.
In the upper part of the middle point of a pair of small droplets, there is a gesture that favors the horizontal droplets.
"A very familiar picture."
Ankang muttered to himself, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen this.
"A picture that might be interesting."
The voice next to Ankang was the same science officer who had spoken to Ankang before, and he took a few photos carefully and then looked at them carefully for a while: "Everything here may contain some kind of quality of this civilization that we don't yet know, I have a feeling that this painting is important, but at the moment I can't connect this with what we know now." ”
He paused.
"I'm sorry for listening to such nonsense, Eagle's Nest Seven."
"It's okay, it's okay."
An Kang hurriedly waved his hand: "Eh, then let's move on, we are almost to the so-called central control center." ”
On the minimap displayed inside the Ankang Power Armor helmet, Ankang's current location was very close to the destination they were heading to, and before they knew it, they had come a long way.
It is a very simple rotunda, about the size of two football fields.
But compared to the other ornate and elegant buildings in the aisles that I saw before, which should be living quarters, this rotunda with no embellishments or even very few bulges, although brightly lit, is still really "simple".
Subconsciously stepped on the ground, I didn't hear any sound, it seems that either the material of this place is very good, or the bottom is indeed solid, and there is no hole.
However, the drones that came here before did report that there were no seats, consoles, or anything like that hidden under this, and those drones could now be seen, floating in front of Ankang's eyes, and still burrowing into the ground.
"I suspect it's a control room similar to the holographic projection in previous science fiction movies, right? I thought it would be like this. ”
Ankang, who was talking to himself, searched the Internet for an illustration from a previous game called StarCraft - a place where the Protoss could be the control room.
Following behind the protector he corresponded to, An Kang watched with curiosity as these scientific officers and technicians were busy working with their own eyes, hands and feet, and various instruments that they couldn't understand at all.
But for this kind of thing that really can't be seen at all, Ankang quickly rushed to boredom. To be honest, in this environment where drones are everywhere in this annex, Ankang doesn't think anything will threaten everyone present except for the map cannon.
He pulled up the mural with seven water droplets that he had photographed earlier and looked at it, and he could indeed feel that it seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was for a while.
"Huh?" He suddenly heard a subtle "Gadeng" sound, very subtle, if it weren't for Ankang's hearing beyond ordinary people, ordinary people would never be able to hear it with their ears.
He instantly turned in the direction where the voice came from, and the assault rifle in his hand was in a state where it could be raised and fired at any time.
But there doesn't seem to be any danger.
The direction in which the sound came from was a drone that was drilling, it seemed to have found something, and it was clear that its data was immediately shared with the humans in the entire control center, so after a few seconds everyone knew what might have been found here.
After signaling the members of the escort team and the nearby combat drones to protect all the technicians they were trying to protect, Ankang walked quickly to the drilled place with a drone.
A hole about the size of a palm appeared in front of An Kang's eyes, and the bottom could be clearly seen by hitting a beam of light, which was not particularly deep.
Patting the drone next to it, Ankang directed it to the side of the hole, and then it stretched out a small robotic arm to the bottom of the hole.
At this time, all the combatants and combat machines present were ready to open fire at any time.
But there were no terrifying creatures and objects that jumped out, but a light screen appeared in front of An Kang's eyes, and he subconsciously pressed it.
"Ahh
Ankang suddenly felt the feeling of weightlessness, and the good training made him react at the first time that he seemed to be falling, so he immediately opened the jetpack.
"Eagle's Nest Seven, are you alright?"
The science officer that Ankang was protecting was shouting eagerly in the public channel, and just now he suddenly saw a hole suddenly open under Ankang's feet and fall.
"No problem, this seems to be a bit deep, I'm going to go down and have a look, don't worry."
After opening the jetpack, An Kang stabilized his body, summoned a hovering drone, flew half a meter below his feet, and slowly flew down.
The pit is not very long, and after a short descent process, Ankang reaches the bottom.
It was pitch black, but the drones that followed quickly turned on the lights to illuminate the surroundings.
It appears to be a shrunken rotunda, about two-thirds the size of a basketball court. But unlike the empty rotunda, there is a seat and a table that looks exactly like that of a human being.
The ghostly Ankang walked over to the table and glanced at the place. A board, something like a pen, and perhaps a vase.
But the most eye-catching thing is something similar to a picture frame. It rests diagonally in the upper left corner of the table.
Ankang reached out and picked up the erect photo frame with its back facing him, turning its front to himself.
"This... This is... Light snow? ”
In the picture, it seems to be a family of three, but the little girl who is being held by her mother looks very similar to Ankang's adopted daughter Sang Xue, and even a few "decorations" like water droplets can be seen under the collarbone. (To be continued.) )
