Chapter 115: Legends
I thought Ding Ling had forgotten about it......
At first, we thought that the accidental appearance of the Xiling items was a relic left by the avenging warrior who accidentally came to Earth, and it would be reasonable if more Xiling items were not found, but now this possibility has a big loophole.
If it's just a relic of a Hiling warrior, that's a lot.
According to what Lin Xue told us before, there were hundreds of ghost core crystals found in the ruins of the underground pyramid that had been turned into steam!
For the Apostles of Xiling, the Ghost Crystal Core is just an emergency energy source, and their real source of energy is the energy reactor located in their own private dimensional space, and they will only use this kind of emergency energy that is abundant but not recyclable when the energy reactor is not enough in a super-strength battle or the reactor fails, so a Xiling Apostle usually does not bring too many Ghost Energy Cores at all, and one or two pieces are enough for just in case.
Even a big energy guster like Pandora can't use so many crystals (as for Sandora, she is the ultimate Xiling unit that has mastered a certain amount of law power, and can directly draw energy from the void, so she can't use ordinary energy such as the ghost energy core at all, and Alaya is more special, she is a special Xiling apostle who uses mysterious and unknown arcane energy, and her energy system is completely different from Pandora, and she can't use such crystals), therefore, These hundreds of energy-depleted ghost cores could never be the relics of the Avenger warrior who lost contact back then.
In other words, a large number of Hiling Apostles must have visited this planet a long time ago, and they have also engaged in high-intensity battles here - if it was just a normal activity, it would be impossible to use an emergency backup energy source like the Spectral Energy Core.
If it was before the collapse of the empire, when the Xiling information network was still fully operational, we could easily find out which part of the Xiling expeditionary force had come to this planet in the past thousands of years, but unfortunately now ninety percent of the entire Xiling Empire is still asleep, and even whether those home planets and colonies still exist is a question, naturally, the empire's huge and complex information network has long since stopped operating, Pandora has tried to connect with the imperial database nodes all over the universe, As a result, after listening to the noise and various advertisements for a whole day, Lori decisively chose to give up......
Sandora's situation is even worse, I at least have a distant but at least already running home planet, she has nothing but her own descendants, and when it comes to direct access to data, she doesn't have as much as I am.
So, despite our best efforts, Sandora and I were unable to trace the origin of these Hiling items on Earth.
So we had to put our hope in the ability group that Lin Xue was in.
The ability team has been working on those strange things, which naturally include all kinds of Xiling items that are incredible to humans, and maybe they don't know what key information they really have, so I came to a consensus with Sandora: work with the ability group!
Originally, I was still struggling with the form of contact with the Ability Group, but Ding Ling's rich imagination helped me find a good way to contact the Ability Group as another neutral small organization.
After all, although Lin Xue is the senior leader of the Ability Group, if we want to get more information, we still need some official contact.
Hearing Ding Ling's question, Pandora immediately took out a piece of the ghost energy core that we had prepared for a long time from her pocket and handed it to Ding Ling.
"You're not...... Can't you see it? Ding Ling took the crystal, and was suddenly amazed that the blind Lori in front of her could hand things over to her so accurately.
…… How could Pandora make such a low-level mistake?
Fortunately, without waiting for us to answer, Ding Ling took care of herself and explained to us: "Oh, I see, it should have something to do with your ability, right?" Then I won't ask. ”
Thank God again for giving Ding Ling a brain that is imaginative and good at auto-filling!
Ding Ling took the crystal, observed it carefully for a long time, and then said: "That's right, this is the strange crystal that caught our attention recently, and according to our guess, this ruin explosion is also related to this crystal-where did you get this thing?" ”
"An abandoned mine," I lied without changing my face, and at the same time pondered whether to send those commanders who had nothing to do and dealt with the chengguan all day long to some desolate place where birds don't to build a similar mine to deal with Ding Ling's possible troubles, "At that time, we found a buried man-made crypt, and there were many of these things in it, but we have not been able to figure out what this crystal is for. ”
This is true, even the most brilliant Xi Ling Technician will not be able to find out what the Ghost Energy Core can do if it is exhausted, once it is consumed, it is an incomparably hard but useless stone, useless except to attach a stick to cut glass.
"We're the same," Ding Ling nodded, and when it came to business, this guy finally calmed down, "Lin Xue should have told you too, our research on this crystal is also just beginning, and we also don't know anything about what it does, but we have a little clue about the origin of this crystal." ”
"Do you know where this thing came from?" Sandora and I were both surprised, and even Lin Xue showed a confused expression—it seemed that even she didn't know anything about it.
"Yes," Ding Ling nodded to Lin Xue, "This is still the progress that just happened two days ago, and it is normal for Lin Xue not to know the way." ”
"These crystals may be related to a certain legend of mankind."
"That's very mysterious......" I said with a little disappointment, legends are originally very mysterious, and if you use legends to explain things that are already foggy, then you will really be mysterious.
"I can't say that," Lin Xue interjected, "Some legends are actually true records of ancient times, but due to the limited understanding of human beings at that time, and the time that took too long, they became myths. ”
"Just like Xiaoxue said," Ding Ling agreed, "and our organization has been dealing with those gods and gods all year round, and many of the legendary things that seem to outsiders are actually another fact to us, do you know about this crystal, the legend of Atlantis?" ”
"Of course, I know it!" I, Qianqian, and my sister replied in unison.
The story of Atlantis is simply too famous, and there are various versions of its related legends, this legend exists in ancient times, and has a glorious civilization with advanced technology that is unimaginable to modern humans, and has been a topic of conversation in various literary works and film and television works, and people have all kinds of conjectures about this civilization, most of which have reached a consensus: whether Atlantis exists or not, In the ancient period of the earth, there was indeed a super civilization far beyond the current human society, and this mysterious civilization may even have developed to the extent of exploring the mysteries of the universe, however, although it was very prosperous, it suddenly disappeared, like an overnight dust.
It's like the incomparably powerful Xiling Empire, which fell apart overnight.
Could it be that this Atlantean civilization turned out to be the Spiritual Empire? Or is it that the earth was once a colony of the Hiling Empire, and when the entire empire fell into a deep sleep, the Atlantean civilization also suddenly fell, which led to the various legends about the ancient super civilization?
This conjecture popped into my head, but I quickly dismissed it.
Not to mention how the Xiling Empire could establish a colony in such a remote galaxy far from the borders of the empire, the fact that there is no clue about Atlantis from the current human race is enough to disprove this conjecture.
The strength of the Xiling Empire's technical power is amazing, such a superb skill is enough to change the form of a galaxy in a short period of time, this fundamental change is not as easy to erase by time as the remains of human beings, just like the Xiling Mother Star that I have only visited in my dreams, although it has been dormant for many thousands of years, the huge star fortress hanging in the sky and the semi-alloy earth have not changed in the slightest.
Pandora also mentioned to me that every time the Xiling Empire added a colony, it would first transform the local environment and even the astral structure, and this race born for war did not have such a concept as Qiu Wuwu.
If the Earth is really a former colony of the Xiling Empire, then this planet must have left obvious traces of transformation everywhere, and even the entire solar system will have obvious signs of adjustment, even if there is a star fortress above our heads.
But the truth is that, despite all the speculation, humanity has so far failed to find any traces of a super-civilization on Earth, and not even Pandora's sensors have been able to find anything similar in the solar system.
That is, while it is likely that the Apostle of Hiling came to this planet a long time ago, the chances that Earth was once a colony of Chilling are slim, so what about the legend about Atlantis?
If it weren't for the Hiling Empire, who would have left traces of the glorious civilization of Atlantis?
