Mariana Trench Abyss, Hall No. 106. Nan Qiyun and No. 1 searched every part of this site back and forth, but still found nothing. In fact, not to mention the war technology that the coalition government wants, there is not even a single thing worth bringing back. The ruins of a prehistoric civilization have left only an empty shell.

Hall No. 107, the last unexplored architectural ruins. The two didn't hold out much hope.

There was a stone door in front of the building, and Nan Qiyun stepped forward and gently pushed it. The stone gate did not move.

The stone gates of these ruins, although they may seem huge, are of little quality in reality. This time he didn't push open the stone door.

The stone gate seemed to be stuck with something.

Nan Qiyun stepped up his efforts.

With a "click", the stone door moved slightly inward, revealing a space for people to pass through.

The two of them cautiously moved in through the narrow entrance.

In front of me were patches of gray-white powder, piled up. Nan Qiyun sank into the powder with one foot.

He grabbed a handful of powder and sprinkled it between his fingers.

This is the ashes.

Nan Qiyun's face suddenly became ugly.

The entire hall of Hall 107 was littered with mountains of these powders.

It's all ashes, and how many bones have to be there to achieve this effect.

Number 1 grabs out a small piece of cloth trapped in the ashes.

The logo on the cloth has long been blurred. She swept over it with her recovery device.

The restored fabric is shown in its original state on the instrument. There's a word written on it: America.

This word is not unfamiliar, once a superpower on the planet, which dominated the world for decades. After the Edifice era, the country was also incorporated into a coalition government formed by mankind.

This is a product of the pre-edifice era. In the pre-edifice era, humans only once entered the interior of the ruins of civilization, and it was on a large scale.

- That was in 2102, after human explorers first discovered the ruins.

Relying on the submarine technology that Chen Tian later revealed to the world, various governments of various countries set up different scale expeditions to investigate the ruins at that time. According to incomplete statistics, the total number of people is in the thousands.

According to information later made public by Governments, all expeditions returned safely, with the exception of a few members who withdrew due to ill health during the abyss.

But what was found here was very different from what the government had made public at the time. Did governments hide anything from the world back then?

Nan Qiyun put a small handful of ashes into the metal can he carried with him. He needs to go back and identify the source of the ashes.

Level A Government Building, 36th floor.

The coalition government has experienced its worst crisis since its formation. The death of Admiral Frye sent a shock to the upper echelons of the entire government.

Hua Chengyu looked at the other five generals in attendance, all of whom were the top military commanders of the A-E layer.

"Frye is dead, this morning the anti-government forces have captured the general headquarters in the Himalayas," Hua Chengyu coughed, he sipped a cup of tea on the table, "The rebels have mastered all the strategic points in all the layers, and there is no point in fighting with them anymore." ”

"I have decided to withdraw all government forces on the F floor to Sector 1 and do my best to protect the elevator system in Sector 1, and once Sector 1 is breached, then the 'elevator' system will be permanently closed." He said again.

"If we do that, we will lose control over all the resources of Tier F, and the victory of the rebels on Tier F will be a foregone conclusion." The commander-in-chief of the military at the B level expressed his opinion, his name is Luo Quan, and he is the more hard-line main battle faction among the commanders at all levels.

Xia Yuan, the commander of the E layer, also objected to this. "As a result, we will be in an extremely disadvantageous position, and we cannot expect to rely on resources in space to solve everything in the future. I think the 'elevator' system should be used to negotiate with the rebels and end the war as soon as possible. ”

"Intelligence shows that the anti-government forces are looking for something on the F floor, and if the Nan Qiyun team's previous investigation of the Star Battleship is true, then there is a possibility that they are looking for this large-scale armament, and we should avoid this situation."

"Isn't the Nan Qiyun team investigating in the abyss? If he can bring back the war technology in the ruins, it will not be impossible to fight the rebels. ”

The debate lasted for nearly two hours, and the five generals were never able to reach a unified opinion, but they all expressed great concern about the armament of the group of star warships in the ground of the F layer.

Hua Chengyu received a report message from Qi Yue.

"Nan Qiyun's team found nothing." He looked up at the five commanders.

"What?" They were shocked.

"Did you get a head start?" Luo Quan was very disappointed.

Hua Chengyu shook his head. "There's nothing in the ruins at all."

"It's impossible, the technology of the current building was brought out of the ruins of the past, it can't be the case there, they must have missed something." Xia Yuan couldn't believe it.

Hua Chengyu no longer responded to their questions. He stood up. "Everything is going according to my resolution. Armies at all levels should be ready to go to war at all times. Meeting. ”

He looked at the bustling scene outside. At the top of the A floor, you can see the miracles and prosperity that mankind has created over the centuries. The guard outside the door knocked on the door and walked in.

"General, does anyone want to see you?" The guards handed over the visitor's information.

A professor of history at the United Government University, Huo Hao.

He is a well-known scholar in the field of history and has studied archaeology.

What is he looking for himself to do at this time? Hua Chengyu was quite puzzled.

"Bring him here," he thought for a moment, and said more, "don't let anyone else know about it." ”

A white-haired old man was ushered into the conference room. Hua Chengyu looked at him as if he was older than himself.

"Sir, do you have any advice?" Hua Chengyu asked the guard to help Huo Hao to his seat and waved his hand to let the guard leave.

Huo Hao pulled out a stack of papers from his arms. He slowly spread out the papers.

It was densely covered with fonts, which were handwritten.

In this day and age, there is almost no one who resorts to the ancient and inefficient method of handwriting.

"I have been studying history for decades, the history of mankind, the history of civilization progress, from the beginning of human clan society to the present, nearly 10,000 years have passed, the pace of human development is very fast, the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, we have established one after another incomparably brilliant civilization." Although Huo Hao is old, his body is still healthy, and his tone is not slow or urgent, as if he is telling a story.

"Ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient India, ancient China. We are moving on our own track, unstoppable. From the beginning of the first industrial revolution in the eighteenth century, which represented a completely new era, to the second industrial revolution in the nineteenth century, the third scientific and technological revolution in the twentieth century, we have gained a lot. The pace of our civilization, after the eighteenth century, has grown exponentially. The emergence of a large number of new energy sources and new means of transportation has brought endless possibilities for the development of mankind. ”

"Airplanes, automobiles, and electronic information systems all show the super high intelligence of human beings."

"But I've found some problems in my research over the years."

Hua Chengyu narrowed his eyes vigilantly. "Why did the old gentleman say that?"

"Today, our science and technology seem to be very developed, walking at the peak of human science and technology, but in essence has not been free from the limitations of the technological level since the third scientific and technological revolution, the aircraft is still the original aircraft, the way of information exchange is still the original way of information exchange, but a layer of camouflage, under the cover of new energy, people ignore the essence of civilization stagnation."

"A wall made of earth, no matter how high it is, is just a fragile wall that can be torn down at any time."

"Sir, don't forget that human beings have a super-ancient and unparalleled 'edifice' system, which is enough to prove the leap forward of human civilization."

"That's exactly what I'm saying, the 'edifice' system is too advanced to be technically unproductive."

Hua Chengyu's face suddenly became ugly. "You are really old and confused, it was because of the fearless exploration of the sea that prehistoric civilization was discovered, and the technology to build this system was obtained from it. This is where the leap of mankind across the ages began. ”

"No one has seen it with their own eyes, you don't, and neither do I. There is a serious asymmetry between the current level of human technology and the technological level of the 'edifice' system, and if the 'edifice' system is not really made by humans, then where does it come from? Huo Hao accentuated the tone of the last few words.

"Enough!" Hua Chengyu suddenly interrupted Huo Hao's words.

All of a sudden, he became furious.

"Sending off!" He called the guard outside the door.

The guard ran in with a panicked expression, it was the first time he had seen such an attitude and expression of the supreme consul of the coalition government, and he hurriedly helped Huo Hao out of the room.

The moment the automatic door was about to close, Hua Chengyu suddenly spoke again.

"Sir, a word of advice, sometimes, it's not a good thing to be too smart, but don't mistake yourself." His emotions have calmed down, and he is saying this sentence without saltiness, which makes people scratch their heads.

In fact, what Huo Hao said is not unfounded, since the establishment of the building system, human beings have generally expressed great praise for this super high level of intelligence, but its overly powerful system settings and advanced nature beyond the times have also caused different people to speculate and question the danger of its existence.

Hua Chengyu thought about it and turned on the communicator on the table.

"Tell Qi Yue that task will be handed over to the Southern Qiyun group." He said.

Long before Hua Chengyu came to power, the historical research under the coalition government raised questions about the discovery of prehistoric civilizations and the history of the "Planet Building" project. In the previous history of human development, no matter in which era, no matter whether major events occurred, the content of any era will not be missing in the writing of history by different scholars in different countries. However, since the establishment of the coalition government, the research department has found that for the twenty years from 2102 to 2122, that is, from the discovery of prehistoric civilizations to the official implementation of the "Planet Building" project, there is a lack of records of these 20 years, whether it is in the official official history, in the local history, or in various historical papers or archives. For future generations, it is unknown what has happened in the past 20 years. From the moment the prehistoric civilization site was discovered, in the following 20 years, what happened, what attitudes human countries held towards the civilization site, and how they finally discovered the super-era technology from it and finally united to implement the "Planet Building" project, in the trajectory of human activities for so many years, it seems to have evaporated out of thin air. Hua Chengyu also studied history in his early years, and he had personally participated in the investigation of this history, and in the vast amount of information, in the long trajectory of human civilization, such an important historical content had mysteriously disappeared, which made all researchers, including him, puzzled.

After he came to power, he organized the relevant forces of the government to investigate this history, and the main person responsible was General Fry, the commander of the F-layer military. As for Huo Hao's "theory of scientific and technological asymmetry", under the current circumstances, he must reject this kind of remarks. Otherwise, once the rumors reach the ears of the people, it will cause even greater panic.

General Frye had made some progress in tracing this history half a year ago, and just after the emergency countermeasures meeting held after the 312 case, he had already told Hua Chengyu that he would soon have a detailed information about this period of disappearance. But he had been assassinated a few hours earlier.

Even after the assassination of General Frye, the government forces kept this information on his key investigation during his lifetime during the retreat. Due to the lack of air transport armament of the government army, the anti-government army has captured most of the area of the F layer in the offensive in the past few months, and the former Eurasian continent has been almost completely occupied by the anti-government army, and the government army has been compressed and surrounded in the area of Zone 15, that is, the former Indian plateau, and it is impossible to completely evacuate the living forces, but if it is necessary to send personnel to infiltrate the enemy-occupied area, connect with the relevant personnel of the government army and bring out the materials they carry, and then use sea traffic to secretly transport them back to the 19th area, it is a feasible plan.

The Nanqiyun team happened to be in the Mariana Trench not far away, and was the most correct executor in terms of time.
