Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Phantom of the Tower

Before the shadowchasers entered the Tower of Babel, Shul threw one of Moria's acorns far into the soil outside the tower, it seemed that they were just playing with each other, and the automatons didn't care, as for those mechanical beasts, they would not react to the fruit of a plant, according to Moria's words, they were not Shure, how could they react to plants.

When everyone entered the Tower of Babel, and the focus of the mechs had shifted to the shadow chasers and pilgrims inside, no one noticed that the acorn outside the tower suddenly cracked, and an unknown seed fell out of the acorn, and then sank into the earth, quickly took root and sprouted, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a small vine.

Soon, among the mechanical beasts crawling and patrolling, there was an inconspicuous vine swimming like a living animal, although the speed was slow, but it never stopped, and even the monitoring equipment around the tower ignored the plant that continued to change its position, allowing it to easily approach the outer wall of the tower, and then began to climb upward.

In fact, there are a lot of monitoring equipment and defensive weapons outside the tower, but there are also a lot of climbing plants, the outer wall of the tower is not metal but stone, it is difficult to prevent the growth of plants, and there is no need to prevent the growth of plants, after all, in this world, there has never been a precedent for plants to obey the orders of creatures and become their helpers, no matter how careful the mechanical body is, it is impossible to think that Pavadiga will have a strange existence of forest spirits, which is half plant and half creature,

As a result, the vines, as Moria's eyeliner, began to seep like the top of the tower, which was also a backup plan that the Shadow Chasers had prepared for a long time. Before entering the tower, Shul had already thought that the automatons would most likely not allow them to climb to the top floor, and if they forced their way up, they would inevitably go head-on with the automatons.

This is not a good choice, it is too dangerous to be attacked by thousands of mechanical bodies, and when Wei was inspecting the city network of machinery, he had seen the information of giant metal puppets in their information database, those giant puppets that were seven or eight meters tall would suppress the shadow chasers in terms of strength and defense, coupled with heavy energy weapons that were much more advanced than Pavatiga, once the war started, maybe it would really be reduced.

Therefore, the Shadow Chasers have made a backup plan to attract attention while negotiating head-on inside, and the real explorer is actually Moria's vines, so that as long as one side of the two sides successfully reaches the top, after all, the top floor of the tower is not a sealed structure, and it is not difficult to enter.

However, no one expected that Moria would actually say such a thing and still climb up, what the hell is this?

"What is your surroundings now?" Shure asked, frowning, "Has anything changed?"

"Environment?" Morea looked around blankly, "I'm surrounded by a crowd of people, and there's a asking me what my surroundings are...... Ah. ”

Shuer retracted the fist that was knocked on the head of this stupid deer regardless of the occasion with an expressionless face, and said angrily: "Speak seriously, now is not the time to make trouble." ”

"Well, well, it's actually quite a strange environment. Moria covered her head aggrievedly and said with a bitter face, "Visually, I am floating in the air, and I can't see any objects around me at all, let alone such an obvious tower, but I can see the top of the tower down, which is no different from what we see from below." But from the touch, I can be sure that the vines are clinging to the entity, and they are still extending upwards, which means that the Tower of Babel is definitely not as tall as we see, it is at least twice as tall as the tower we see. ”

"Hell, is it an illusion?" Shul frowned and thought for a moment, "Mia, is there a similar spell that can do it?"

"Spells are similar, but it's hard to be that perfect. The voice of the mountain elf came from the empty position, in fact, the two mages did not stay outside the tower, but always followed the shadow chasers, "Some powerful legendary mages can indeed use spells to hide or cover part of their mage tower, but either they are completely invisible, or they can clearly see that the mage tower is incomplete, and hide part of it like this, and then create a false appearance to replace the original image, so that we can't see the flaws, I'm afraid no one can do it." ”

"Whew, can't illusion work?" Shuer's fingers tapped his thighs faster and faster, he didn't know when the Supreme Mastermind would appear, once the Supreme Mastermind appeared, it would be difficult to discuss it freely as now, otherwise it would be too rude, but if he didn't figure out what the situation was in advance, then he was likely to lose the initiative in the subsequent negotiations, so it was no wonder that he became more and more impatient, "Wei, is it possible for your technology to be realized?"

"Your Excellency, it is possible, but we have not made anything like it. Wei's indifferent voice sounded as beautiful as a divine voice in Shuer at this time, "If nothing else, it should be an advanced application of holographic projection technology." ”

"Very well, that's right, this is it. Shul nodded earnestly, "But it's better to say it again in a language we can understand." ”

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Wei's voice once again carried a subtle disdain, "If you don't understand, please don't mislead the judgment of the artificial intelligence." ”

"Ahem, Wei, time is pressing, don't divert the topic, answer the question. ”

Obviously, some capable female soldier must have punched and kicked the commander's projection in virtual space again: "In the past, in the era of interstellar exploration, similar technology was often used, and when a colony ship landed on a new planet, an outpost colony would be established for the first colonists to develop a new planet to live. Since most planets are not habitable planets, colonies tend to build a fully enclosed ecological dome, and only adjust the interior of the dome to a habitable environment, so as not to affect the survival of the colonists. ”

"But there are also big problems with this, because of the limited space, the colonists can't move freely, and because they are far away from the home planet, it is easy to develop psychological problems, and in this closed environment, if someone has psychological problems, it is likely to lead to disastrous consequences. ”

Therefore, the ecological dome at that time often came with a holographic simulation system, and the outer wall of the dome simulated a similar environment to the home star, such as the blue sky and white clouds. ”

"You said you didn't use it before, that is, later?" Shuer asked strangely, "This method is very humane, why do you give up using it?"

"Because in modern times, oh, it is the modern era of my home world, the development of livable transformation technology, the speed of transformation has been greatly accelerated, and it often only takes a few months to initially transform a planet to meet the basic living needs of the colonists, so there is no need to use ecological domes and holographic displays. ”

"Okay. Shul touched his nose and said that his question was stupid.

"Of course, that's just one way to use holographic displays, and there are many others, like the tower described by His Excellency the Commander, which should be one of them. In fact, the tower that the Commander saw was only a projected illusion, but it overlapped with the real tower, so it was impossible to distinguish the essence of its illusion. The upper part of the tower is simulated as a blue sky and white clouds, which fools everyone's observations. ”

"So only the tower is fake?" Shure asked, "and everything else we see is real?"

"I can't judge, Your Excellency, that I don't have the proper equipment to observe things from such a distance, but I can only say that at least everything around us, such as the ground, the plants, and these tables and chairs, is real. ”

"Then it cannot be ruled out that the city in the sky and the Tower of Babel actually exist in the same ...... What's that called...... Oh, inside an ecological dome?"

"I still can't judge, Your Excellency Commander, I can only say that there is this possibility, but it is not very likely. Wei said uncertainly, "The general ecological dome will only set up a holographic display on the ecological wall, and there is never a precedent for hiding a tower alone, which is illogical and unnecessary, and it is more likely that there is some secret on this tower, so they must hide it." ”

"I think it's very likely. Shure squinted his eyes and thought, "Mobuck, remember your geological survey?"

"Of course I do, Captain. Mobuck touched his beard and said in a rough voice, "That's right, the soil distribution is too standard, and the standard ones are a bit fake." ”

"Well, if you think about it, it's hard to guarantee such a standard for naturally occurring soil layers, and if the soil layers are artificial, it can be explained. Shure looked at Delia, and finally decided to continue to hide it from her, "It's not just the soil, if this is really in some man-made space, many things can be explained. ”

"For example, why can't cities communicate with each other? not because there are machines blocking the way, but because humans can't leave the ecological dome at all, why aren't even the machines allowed to leave the area of the Tower of Babel? because they don't know that it's an enclosed space, and once they get out of it, the truth will be revealed. Why is there a ban on flying machines? Because you can't let the aircraft fly too high or too far, or you'll break the dome. ”

"But Shuer, one thing doesn't make sense. Saf said timidly, "The Floating City flew so high that it didn't break the dome." ”

"Maybe it's because the height of the dome itself is higher than that of the Floating City. ”

"But there's no need to cover up the tower. Saph looked at Shure's expression and cautiously retorted, "I still can't explain why I did this, and besides, who did this?"

Shure was silent, indeed, there might be some truth in his guess, but there were too many questions to explain.

"I'm ......" Shul suddenly stopped, quickly dispersing the Isolation Realm, and at the same time, Milita also put away the swirling black air, because the door from which the centers had exited had been opened again, and the thinking center of the little girl's image had re-entered.
