Chapter 1174: Remains

ff37; u85c0f; 8bf4; 66f4; 65b0; 6700; 5feb; 5c0f; 8bf4; 9605; 8bfb; 7f51; This black wreckage of unknown origin is actually not much difficult to dismantle, whether in terms of material or protection technology, it is far below the level of imperial science and technology, basically the level of the high-level servant army, using the high-level equipment brought over to deal with such a thing, for the group of disassembly experts who have been tossing with the black shuttle for several days, after a simple scan, The technicians determined the layer-by-layer structure of the black cube and locked a rectangular container at its core: if the guess was correct, the coffin that Miss Lin was referring to should be essentially that thing.

Then under the guidance of the eldest lady, the experts found the "energy knot" located near the core of the cube, which was the only place in the entire cube with energy reactions, but now it was in a silent state, and the energy level and activity released were extremely low, if it wasn't for the eldest lady's reminder in advance, I'm afraid no one would have paid attention to this inconspicuous gadget - but according to Lin Xue's prediction, it was precisely this energy knot that would suddenly go out of control after the most dismantling and burn the cube core. If you don't say that there is a prophet in the family, if there is a treasure, Lin Xue's existence has not known how many times the Dao has avoided for me, and the almost inevitable loss has occurred.

After a brief discussion, the technologists decided to start with a ridge line in the cube and completely pierce part of its shell: anyway, looking at the state of the thing, it was clear that its shell had no preservation value. After piercing the shell, the intricate mechanical structure and crystallized energy wiring inside the cube appeared in front of everyone, and the next operation needed to be a little more delicate. Because these internal structures may have some research value, the two autonomous machines disassembled the seemingly fully functional modules from the inside of the cube in a precise manner before expanding the cutting operation. Sandora took the twisted module, which appeared to have been subjected to heat and kinetic energy, from an assistant technician, and observed it curiously. After a few moments, she handed me the module, "Ah Jun, does it feel familiar to you?" ”

"Me? I'm afraid I can't generate that sense of familiarity," I shrugged, "as if only an original Hiling Apostle like you can produce that strange sense of familiarity." What does this thing have to do with the Apostle Hiling......"

"I'm not talking about that," Sandora said. "I'll show you this module, it's ...... design"

I took the black thing in confusion, and looked at it several times, but I couldn't see its function, only to see that there were many parallel inlays in the middle of a large number of unaware alloy components, and the inlays reflected cold light in the light, and after looking at it carefully for a while, I realized that it was actually some kind of dark blue crystal. More ...... Can't see it.

"It feels a little bit connected to the Imperial Equipment," Sandora's tone wasn't quite sure, "Of course. It may seem like a big difference, but this crystalline energy conductive structure is a classic design. Much of the Empire's energy module infrastructure is built on this structure right now - but it's really not a small difference compared to what you have in your hands. It gives me the impression that this thing in front of me has a very subtle resemblance to the Imperial equipment in terms of architecture. ”

At this moment, the autonomous machinery that was cutting inside the cube finally came into contact with the obstacle, it was a completely sealed alloy protective cover, and there was a weak flow of energy on the protective cover, in the original historical line, it was the direct disassembly of this seemingly fragile protective cover that caused the cube core to burn, but since Lin Xue had warned in advance, of course such a thing would not happen. Miss Prophet grabbed my hand and pressed it against the cube: "Come, hard." ”

Me: "...... Can you stop saying such strange things? ”

As I spoke, I found the "energy knot" that was emitting a faint energy reaction, and then used my special force to completely control it: "Okay, continue to operate, I will drain its energy." ”

There was a slight "snort" sound from inside the cube, and the phase cutter of the autonomic machine easily destroyed the core shield. At the same time, in my own psychic senses, the energy junction quickly reacted violently and prepared to self-destruct - though it was easily extinguished by me. At this time, I suddenly had an idea: such a decisive self-detonation device is really full of immediacy.

"That's it. Now let's get this bomb out of here. Lin Xue commanded blindly from the side...... Okay, it's not a blind command, "The second machine first cuts the base and the hexagonal lock, don't hesitate to cut it, anyway, the mechanical lock has been scrapped." Unit 1 pulls things out when the bracket starts to slide, and it will explode in a small way, so you don't have to care. The uncle over there, don't touch the parts in front of you, dismantle the one next to you first, or you'll be cut by Tavel himself tomorrow afternoon - don't ask why, this is the butterfly effect, do you understand the butterfly effect! Aurelia, lift your left wing up twenty centimeters, and you'll splash dirt on your wing...... Ah, and that white-haired beauty over there, don't touch it...... Well, you've touched it, okay, I'm just going to warn you, you're going to be out of luck in ten minutes......"

Cocokina floated beside the council in a daze, and after a long time, said sullenly, "...... It was the first time I had seen such a strange command scene, and there were people who gave orders based on the future images they saw, not by skill and experience, and every step was specific and frightening. ”

I understand Coco Kekina's feelings, but he shouldn't have heard of what a strategy book is: when you play a puzzle game to a critical moment, a second goods suddenly pop up holding this game strategy to give you spoilers from beginning to end, and then you should be able to understand what kind of existence Lin Xue is. No, Lin Xue should be even more powerful than that, because not only did she look at the strategy and know what you should choose next, but she also knew what your expression was after you were crazy because of the spoilers along the way, and she deeply understood how to continue to make you even more crazy...... Well, that's a long way off. I mean, on the premise of not being mischievous, Miss Lin's "spoiler" ability is actually quite cute.

There was a constant clanging sound from inside the cube, and the autonomic machinery was busy inside. Then there was a soft sound of "huh-", as if something was sliding down from the support frame, and then the dirty self-discipline mechanical No. 2 machine gurgled out of the big hole on the side of the cube, and carefully held a metal cylinder that was emitting a faint blue light, which was what Lin Xue called "energy knot". This is probably an energy device with inefficient energy harvesting and energy storage functions, I don't know how Lin Xue called it: the prophet has always spoken like this, sometimes she herself doesn't know what Lu Dao is to use specific terms to describe what she sees, anyway, you just listen to it unconsciously. I took the half-meter-long metal pillar from the self-discipline robot, which looked like a monocular at one end and looked like a telescope at one end, and checked it in my hand: "Ghost energy." ”

Yes. There is a noticeable remnant of spectral energy in the metal pillars, and the mode is very similar to the spectral spectrum used by the Empire. In fact, ghost energy is not an energy source unique to the Xiling Apostles, just as the Holy Light is not only available to the Star Domain Protoss. In fact, as long as the civilization can come into contact with the Void, it can basically master this super energy that decays from the Void Realm, and according to the different spectrum and decay degree, these energies may have some differences in characteristics, but basically they can be called ghost energy. The most striking feature of the Empire's spectral energy is the blue color that represents high activity, and now, I'm pretty sure of it. The ghost energy reaction carried by the metal cylinder in his hand is the standard energy of the Empire.

Things seem to be getting more and more interesting, and now we are 100% sure. This cube is related to the Empire, it not only uses the Empire's standard energy, but also has subtle commonalities with the technology used by the Empire in terms of internal structure, or structure, but the technical level of the cube is significantly weaker than the real Empire's technology, it is more like an antique or a knockoff, is it ......

Is this something used by a vassal race of the Old Empire?

The Merois are actually hunting down another group of Imperial vassals?

I was jumbled around until I heard a loud "clang" around me draw my attention. Turning his head, he saw that one side of the cube could not withstand the continuous destruction inside, and it was already badly damaged, so that about half of it broke off and fell off, and after a loud bang, it fell to the ground, and next to it stood a female assistant technician with a gray face and short white hair. It's probably not avoidable: scientists rarely stay agile at work.

Lin Xue shrugged: "Look, I said that you will be unlucky in ten minutes." ”

With this kung fu, can you tell people to stay out of the way in advance?

And with the collapse of this part of the structure, the cube was also dismantled, and the core that was fixed with a complex mechanical locking device was also exposed to us. The autonomic machinery removed it from the support frame and moved it to the open field, and I saw it for what it was: it looked like an ancient hibernation pod.

"Turn it on." Sandora said without hesitation - we are not worried that opening it rashly will kill the life that may exist in the hibernation pod, because there is a fatal injury to the side of the hibernation pod, and if there is life in it, it would be dead by now.

The lid of the hibernation pod was peeled away in bright sparks of cutting, and we were greeted by an unusually burly warrior dressed in power armor - of course, with no life reaction.

"This power armor ......" Sandora leaned down and observed the armor worn on the remains, "It seems to be a very old design pattern, the Spectral Shield Generator even relies on the energy box on its back to provide additional energy, but it is indeed the infrastructure of Imperial technology, but I can't tell which Celestial Region has eliminated equipment, this looks too old, even if it is not suitable for the minion military." Well, the armor shell is well sealed, and the remains inside may have been powdered, but presumably the life form can be analyzed. Open his mask and be careful, it could be fragile inside. ”

Two assistant technicians stepped forward at Sandora's orders, and they transformed their fingers into slender probes, pierced into the slits in the head of the reckage's power armor, and then opened the armor normally from the inside - they didn't use the cutting method, presumably for fear of damaging the contents. I don't know how many years have passed since this armor, but it is incredible that it can still be opened smoothly, the mask on the helmet is opened, and almost everyone around them gasps.

I had expected to see myself the corpse of a highly weathered, soldier of some of the Old Empire's servant army, perhaps even a dubious cloud of organic powder. It may even be simply empty, but it is not at all, and inside are the remains of complete soldiers.

It was not weathered, nor did it turn into powder in the moment of contact with the air, the remains remained almost completely unchanged from the original appearance, he was a strong man, close to human, but his appearance was quite different from human, his skin looked more like metal or plastic texture, almost no luster. It is grayish-white, with neat blue lines around the face, which are actually directly embedded in the skin, like some kind of line, reminiscent of a robotic head without a bionic skin. This kind of appearance made me think of the robot soldier for the first time, but after careful distinction, I didn't feel like it, the other party didn't have that kind of stiffness, he should be a real life, but ...... Kind of like those war puppets made by the Empire.

"This ......," Sandora held for a long time, and only spat out a single word. Then she suddenly realized something and pressed her hand on the forehead of the remains. There was a series of flashes of light in her eyes, as if scanning the other person's internal structure, and after a few moments, I heard her muttering to herself in disbelief, "This...... Is it an apostle? An Apostle of Hilling? ”

"Are you sure?" I was a little surprised, but I didn't feel too incredible, to be honest, I feel quite confused now, myself and Lin Xue are both halfway monks. Earthlings (at least in this life), not the original Xiling Apostles like Sandora, so the strange reactions of Sandora and these imperial technicians on the scene are difficult for me to empathize, I can only vaguely feel that the situation is wrong, but I don't know what Sandora's feelings are, this feeling is really aggrieved.

"Yes, sure. This is an Apostle of Hilling, but it is so old that I can't even believe that the body structure of the Apostle of Hiling can be like this...... Inferior quality," Sandora said, standing up. Motioning to the other staff to further process the remains, "I know every kind of body structure of the Hiling Apostle, but this one is ...... Aside from the identifying features, none of them matched my memory. Most of the components in his body are solidified, and even some parts are still in the stage of inferior mechanical assembly, which is very different from the current semi-energy structure of the Xiling Apostle, and I can't scan the other party's memory core, I don't know if the Dao was not installed in the first place, or was damaged by an accident...... There is no way to determine the age of this apostle, he is a soldier of the old imperial era, but this super old antique model ...... Now you can't even recognize it, and you can imagine how old it must be. ”

I tried to keep up with Sandora's rhythm and tried to see the whole incident from her point of view, and Lin Xue said thoughtfully: "That is, the model that may have been out of service before you were born?" Even an ultra-old model that doesn't have a record in the database? ”

Sandora nodded, "I'm afraid that's it, and that's it...... The cube in front of us is probably also a thing of the age. Is it supposed to be 100 million years ago? Maybe even longer! It's unbelievable that such an ancient thing has been preserved to this day and still appears in front of us......"

"It's completely unimaginable...... Lin Xue couldn't help but sigh, "It is said that the shelf life of things made in the empire is very long, but the shelf life of things made so long ago is also so exaggerated?" ”

"Unexplainable, unexplainable," Sandora clutched her forehead, "well, even I need to calm down now." Theoretically, it is impossible to preserve something so old, not to mention that it looks like it has been drifting in the Void for a while, but it has been preserved, and it seems to be in good condition - you send this body and the cube to the institute, no matter what means are used, in short, give me a detailed report as soon as possible, including the approximate age of his service and the cause of death, and if possible, find out if there is any data logging equipment. The most important thing: it must not be damaged! ”

"Yes! Your will! Vitok or Ketovey or whatever name the uncle immediately gave a military salute, and with a serious expression began to instruct his assistants to carefully collect everything on the scene into the Gna space. I glanced at Sandora, who was deep in thought, and tried to say, "So...... Are the Merois snatching the remains of an old Imperial soldier? ”

"That's all the more unreasonable, isn't it?" Sandora looked at me and smiled wryly, "Things are in a bigger fog zone, the remains of an old Imperial soldier, it may have special meaning for us, but what is the value to those Merois rebels?" ”

"No matter what the value, they're dead," Aurelia never spoke, and she couldn't help but speak at this time, "they've stolen a lot of his majesty's possessions, erased the insignia of the Empire, and now they're still shooting at the remains of the warriors of the old Empire, what are those madmen going to do?" ”

"Even you don't know the way?" I glanced at Aurelia, she was the only one in the room who probably knew about the Merovas, but she shook her head at me: "I know how well the Merovas fight, and how they command them to charge, but other than that, the Melova people's cultural beliefs and ways of thinking are ...... It can only be said so-so...... Eh, Your Majesty, you also know that the old empire is a little ...... in terms of servant army policy."

"Forget it, I knew that this would be the case." I covered my face and waved my hand weakly.

Instead of stopping at Kerudak, we went straight back to Shadow City to follow up on the experts' analysis of the cube and the body, and this time, Sandora and I didn't have to wait too long, and that afternoon, an explosive news came from the research center.

Tavel personally reported to us:

"Your Majesty, we may have found a primordial body."

ps: In recent years, earthquakes have occurred frequently, and now Sichuan is affected, living in a city like Tangshan, which has been rebuilt from the ruins after the earthquake, I have heard many people talking about it, and the old people who survived that year are also sighing. If you have the ability, do something, even if you don't have the ability, at this time, you can silently pray for the compatriots in the disaster area.
