Chapter 171: Alien Civilization
Chu Jungui jumped a few times and stood on the highest platform in the underground hall.
The middle of the high platform was empty, and it was more of a huge basin than a platform. Chu Jungui stood on the edge and looked into the basin. There is a shallow layer of black gas at the bottom of the pelvis, and then there are many bits and pieces scattered around.
Many of the parts Chu Jungui felt a little familiar, most of them were mechanical parts from a human planet. I just don't understand why they are here, is it a collection?
Among the scattered parts, a faint green light flashed.
Chu Jungui jumped down, lightly stepped on a part that appeared to be the wreckage of a spaceship, and looked towards the flash. It was a bizarre contraption, about a meter long and 30 centimeters in diameter. It is transparent throughout, with a lid made up of complex devices at both ends.
This thing looks like a cultivation device, and through the wall of the bottle, you can see that there is a faint black gas floating inside.
Chu Jungui lifted it, and it could be seen that the lids at both ends were made of multiple metal bodies, and in the seams were crystals, thus forming extremely complex lines and faintly revealing light.
Chu Jungui can conclude that he has never seen a device of a similar style, and most of them do not belong to human technology. The crystals beneath those lines emit a faint glow, indicating that the device is still in motion.
At the other end of the unit, there are several access ports that can transport something inside. There were some body tissues and organs left on this end, and then some biological tissue pipes were connected to the port, but now these pipes are broken. Chu Jun looked around, but he couldn't find where these broken pipelines should be connected.
He walked around the pelvic floor and suddenly saw a remnant of a pipe on the ground, which had broken and was getting shorter and shrinking back into the muscle tissue on the ground.
Chu Jungui did not interfere with its progress, but squatted down and watched carefully.
In just a few moments, the remnants of the line were gone, but the subject had already recorded enough data. The tubes are absorbed by the ground body, and the corresponding cells are different from the rest of the body, these cells are newer, more vigorous, and more disordered, similar to the scars left by human injuries.
After getting the data, Chu Jungui scanned the entire ground, and found that there were tens of thousands of similar traces!
There should be a whole piece of equipment here similar to the device in Chu Jungui's hand at this moment, but at this moment, these devices are missing. It seems that when the beast tide withdrew, everything here was also moved, but for some reason one thing was missing.
Chu Jungui took a look at the other three giant basins, and there were more various parts at the bottom, but there were no traces of pipes left by the equipment.
At this point, the entire underground hall has been explored, and there is no trace of the beast tide, and not even the tiniest war beast can be seen.
"Exploration has been completed and no risk has been confirmed. I'm going to pick you up now. After the communication was completed, Chu Jungui went back and went to find Lin Xi.
After only a few steps, Chu Jungui suddenly heard a strange sound. This sound is very weak, and normal people will only listen to it as a part of the background clutter, but in the ears of the test subject, all the background noise is recorded, and suddenly there is an extra voice, so it is natural to find out the cause.
Chu Jun returned to a halt and looked at the source of the sound, and saw a small squirrel-like beast crawling slowly on the ground. Chu Jungui tentatively touched it, and when he saw that it was not aggressive, he picked it up.
The little beast struggled, waving its huge tail and oozing drops of crystal water from its tail. When these water droplets encounter air, they slowly condense and fall into crystalline beads.
Chu Jungui's heart moved, and he put the little beast on the cave wall. The little beast immediately stuck to the mirror-smooth cave wall as if it were glued to it. Then it began to wave its tail and spread the secreted droplets evenly on the walls of the cave. When the water droplets dried, a thin layer thickened on the glass-like cave walls.
"Good thing!" Chu Jungui's eyes lit up, and he carefully took off the little beast and held it in his hand. This inconspicuous little thing turned out to be a construction worker, and although it was small, it was not possible that such a magnificent building as the underground hall was made by this little thing, but I didn't know how it received orders and how it knew what it was supposed to do. However, these problems will be solved slowly as the exploration deepens.
Chu Jungui walked quickly to the entrance of the passage and sent a laser signal upward. A moment later, two ropes were thrown down from above, and Lin Xi led a few warriors to slide down the ropes.
"How's that, what's inside?"
"Two useful things were found, and in addition, I think we might have encountered a new civilization. Subject's voice was heavy.
"A new civilization?" Lin Xi was taken aback.
Humans have been exploring the stars for 1,400 years, with a radius of 1,500 light-years. After such a long period of time and such a vast star field, human beings have encountered many races that have initially opened their minds, but they have never encountered a real alien civilization.
This topic has been debated for countless years. Some people say that 1400 years is a long time for human beings, but it is only a snap of a finger in the entire universe, and some people say that 3000 light years seems to be vast, but in fact it is not even a corner of the Milky Way, let alone the local galaxy cluster, the supercluster above the river system. Perhaps in the infinite universe, civilizations are also rare, and in our history, the steps we have taken are very limited, and it is normal to find no extraterrestrial civilizations.
There is also an argument that is also very popular. They believe that the universe is the center of the Milky Way, and the home star is the center of the Milky Way, so human beings are the well-deserved masters of the universe, and perhaps there is only one civilization in the entire universe. Therefore, the ultimate mission of mankind is to occupy every corner of the universe, develop every planet, and let the flag of mankind fly forever in the ultimate space and time.
To sum up, it will unify the universe for thousands of years.
The audience for this view is quite large, and even many sects have developed, such as the Great Unification Sect, the Ultimate Sect of the Universe, the Galaxy Supreme Sect, and so on. There are thousands of sects like the Federation alone, and they are constantly at odds with each other, all claiming to be orthodox.
That's why Lin Xi was so surprised. If that were the case, it would be a milestone event.
She reflexively made a gesture of full vigilance, and with several warriors, she walked towards the depths of the hall with Chu Jun.
At the beginning of human exploration of the stars, we expected to meet a real alien civilization on the first planet we set foot on, but the result was naturally disappointing. However, no one expected that on such a planet full of war beasts, alien civilizations would begin to take shape.
