Chapter 622: The Fleeing Expedition
"That's right, but I still hope that the peace talks will be successful." Urìna said.
Brenda snorted and said, "You know what to say, in such a situation, the two sides are likely to reach a mutually compromising peace agreement, but when the big trouble of the AI rebellion is resolved, the Federation should free up its hands to deal with my Mayan Star Zone......"
Speaking of this, she was angry again, glared at Jiang Ping and said: "If it weren't for this bastard's 'On Quick Victory', would things have come to this point, maybe now the Federation is still stuck in the quagmire of rebellion, unable to extricate itself, and can't take care of my Mayan Star Region!" ”
Jiang Ping was still eating and drinking, just pretending not to hear.
Urìna defended him on the side: "It's no wonder that Jiang Ping is him, he proposed this 'quick victory', just to end this rebellion as soon as possible, he is a member of the Federation, and it is natural to do so, not to oppose our Mayan Star Zone." ”
Brenda snorted and said, "It's not intentional, I think he did it on purpose!" ”
Jiang Ping didn't bother to pay attention to it, anyway, the other party has a request for him now, what can he do with him?
The next few days passed, and the affairs on the Mayan base side were almost settled, and Brenda decided to return to the Mayan Star Zone as soon as possible.
It's just that Jiang Ping is still worried about the ruins of the dungeon, so he has been dragging it out.
On this day, when I heard the news, Julian, Galoki and others came back, but it is said that they fled back in a very embarrassed way, not only did they not get any gold treasures, but the team also suffered heavy losses, nearly 100 people, and only more than 10 people escaped by luck.
Hearing the news, Jiang Ping was not surprised. The expedition certainly had the advantage of firepower. But those human-headed snake-bodyed, sphinx-faced monsters are not so easy to deal with, they are the product of the genetic technique of that evil alien civilization, with a sè physique and mysterious superpowers, and occupy a convenient location. Julian, Galoki and the others were not all wiped out, and they were lucky to be able to escape back a few.
The day after Julian, Galoki and the others fled, Soldis sent a message. Please Jiang Ping go and say that there is something important to discuss.
Jiang Ping knew that something was wrong, and immediately got into a hovercar and came to the base of the Gendana people.
The hovercar landed at the base airstrip, and when he got out of the car, he saw Soltith waiting there. His expression looked a little uneasy.
Seeing this, Jiang Ping immediately asked the other party what was wrong, Soldis did not speak for a while, led him into his hotel residence, and sat down in a secret reception room before taking out something. Inserted a light brain interface next to him, Shen Sè said solemnly: "Look at it." ”
Jiang Ping knew something was wrong, and looked carefully at the light brain screen.
The screen flashed, revealing a huge palace-like building, which looked resplendent and magnificent, and the floors and walls inside seemed to be paved with gold.
In the zhōngyāng of the main hall, there is a building that appears to be an altar. On the altar, there were several god-like sculptures, and Jiang Ping was a little stunned when he saw these god-like sculptures.
I saw these sculptures, the shape. The limbs and facial features are similar to those of human beings, except that a pair of eyes are bloody, and on the top of the head, there is a single horn, a god in the middle, and the single horn on his head is gold, surrounding several gods around him, and the single horn on his head is silver and black.
The image of this "blood-pupiled one-horned man" looks familiar, isn't it the image I saw on the stone pillar in front of the dungeon ruins.
"Where did this video footage come from?" Jiang Ping asked.
Soltis said, "It was Julian who escaped back, and Garaki captured it in the ruins of the dungeon. ”
Jiang Pingshen moved, and said, "Oh, it seems that they have some adventures on this trip to the dungeon ruins." ”
Soltis said: "According to them, after they entered this golden hall, they were besieged by those monster armies, although they had the advantage of firepower in their hands, but they were still outnumbered, and were forced to retreat, there were casualties along the way, heavy losses, and there were only a dozen people who were able to escape back......
"What do you think of this Golden Hall?" After a moment of silence, Soldis asked.
Jiang Ping glanced at the picture a few more times and muttered, "It looks like a temple dedicated to gods, but it shouldn't be the work of those monsters, but it is likely to be something left over from the civilization of the dungeon ruins." ”
Soltith glanced at the blood-pupiled unicorn sculptures on the altar on the screen and asked, "Maybe these celestial sculptures are the images of the intelligent creatures of the civilization in this dungeon ruins?" ”
Jiang Ping didn't speak for a while, but felt that the other party's speculation was indeed very likely. ”
Soltis's eyes stared at the celestial sculptures on the screen for a long time, and there was a trace of solemnity and confusion on her face, and she muttered to herself: "I think I have never seen this kind of celestial sculptures, but when I see them, I always have a sense of familiarity, what is going on......
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but put my hand on my forehead again.
Seeing that she showed a deep sense of pain again, Jiang Ping persuaded: "Maybe there is some memory that I have forgotten, since I can't remember it, I don't need to think about it." ”
Soldis furrowed her brows, stopped this meditation, and then pointed to the zhōngyāng on the altar on the screen, and said solemnly: "Have you noticed the abnormality of this stone on the altar?" ”
Following her fingers, Jiang Ping's gaze looked at the altar, where there were squares of crystal clear and slightly shiny stones, not so much a stone as a display screen, with patterns of strangely shaped line runes, and they were constantly changing.
He also noticed the change in the pattern just now, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and now when he heard the other party solemnly point it out, he didn't feel that he was interested.
Looking at the changing lines and rune-like stone patterns for a long time, he didn't see a single reason.
He guessed that it was supposed to be an energy box, but he didn't know what it was for, or was it just a plaything to watch xìng?
"What is this, what is the special meaning of these changing line symbols?"
He couldn't help but ask. Although he couldn't see what was going on, he knew that the other party had the ability to have the eye of the mind, and he might be able to see something strange.
Soldis looked solemn, and her voice was also a little uncertain, and she said slowly: "I think this may be a timekeeping device, and the changing line symbols on it are actually a kind of number symbols similar to our Arabic numerals......"
"Oh, yes!" Jiang Ping was moved when he heard this, and felt that the other party's speculation was very novel.
Soldis continued: "This is my preliminary conclusion after a day of careful observation. In fact, if we compare the changing line symbols above with our Arabic numerals, it is not difficult to decipher the meaning. ”
Jiang Ping asked, "So, you already have a preliminary conclusion?" ”
Soldis nodded and said: "At first, when establishing this kind of number correspondence, there were some troubles, there were always some problems, and then I thought that maybe they used not the decimal counting method we are familiar with, and then I used different carry systems to try to parse, and finally found that if we use the octal system, we can successfully establish the correspondence between them and the Arabic numerals we use!" ”
Hearing this, Jiang Ping moved again, and then asked, "So what is the meaning of these changing numbers that you have cracked?"
Soldis was suddenly solemn, and said slowly: "I found that this stone with constantly changing symbols should be a countdown device......
"Countdown device?"
Jiang Ping was moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
What unsettled him was not the countdown mechanism itself, but what would happen when the countdown came to an end?
Since it is a countdown device, it must be a countdown for something, and when the time comes, that thing is about to happen.
And in the golden hall of the ruins of this dungeon, this mysterious alien civilization has set up such a countdown device, which has to cause people to be uneasy and worried.
"Are you sure it's a countdown device?" Jiang Pingshen asked uneasily.
Soldis shook her head and said, "No, I can't be sure, it's just a speculation. ”
Jiang Ping thought for a moment and asked again: "Then can you calculate how long it will take for this countdown to come to an end?" ”
Soltis said: "I have calculated, and it will only take less than three months to convert it into the time of our human earth, and the number of this countdown will be zero. ”
"It only takes three months?"
Jiang Ping was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask again: "Are you sure that you are not wrong?" ”
Soldis shook her head and said, "I'm sure, I'm not wrong. ”
Only three months to go?
This time is too short, almost fleeting, and when this time comes, no one can predict what will happen.
"Could it be that when the time comes, there will be a landslide and tsunami on Wang Hengxing, a huge earthquake, a great flood, and destroy the creatures and civilizations of this planet? Like that evil alien civilization did on Earth before? ”
Jiang Ping muttered to himself, the worst situation he could think of right now was this.
Turning his head, he saw that Soldis's face was pale, and he seemed to be worried, so he said again: "Soltis, are you worried?" But fortunately, Wang Hengxing's human race hasn't been developed for long, and even if it's really destroyed, the loss isn't too big, isn't it? (To be continued......)
