Chapter 930: The Condition of the Spaceship
"This reminds me of the underground building in the Luxury Forest, although there are many differences in the styles of the two, they both look so grand and huge, even the dungeon of the Church of the Hill Kings can't compare!" Sylvia couldn't help but look around as she entered Lancy City, and sighed.
As the main material transportation channel of the spacecraft, because the transport spacecraft needs to be directly docked in it, the internal space area here is definitely the largest space in the entire Prometheus, although in order to be suitable for human habitation, the interior has undergone large-scale transformation, but it is still possible to judge what the original place looked like from the main structure here.
The top thirty floors were the docking decks of various ships, each deck capable of docking at least twenty of the largest transport ships of the Old Earth era at the time.
The middle 30 floors are the main dispatch platform, from which all the transported materials are dispatched to the various areas of the ship, and thus the starting point of the main internal road of the ship.
As for the lower thirty floors, it is the docking point for the ship's ground material transportation troops, which should have been originally parked land combat vehicles, asteroid mineral mining ships, and so on.
Now these platforms have all been converted into rooms, and some rooms are even directly based on the docked spaceship, such as the tax officer's office where Leo and Sylvia entered the city and handled the temporary residence permit, the main body of which was converted from the storage compartment of a large mineral excavator, and Leo even saw the imprinted number of the storage compartment next to the entrance.
Leo noticed that the main part of the renovation of all the space buildings he saw in front of him was a very high-tech transformation, and the renovators dismantled a large number of existing equipment parts during the renovation, and perfectly used these equipment parts in the renovation of various rooms and buildings, adding additional functions to these buildings, but now how these functions are used has been forgotten by the locals of Lanxi, or lost.
It can be seen that the first people to transform the Prometheus are definitely the people who know the most about this spaceship, and these people have mastered the technology related to all the equipment of this spaceship, so it is not difficult to guess who completed the transformation project of the core of this spaceship, and the subsequent reformers only added some decorative or protective things, and did not move the most basic core transformation.
Leo could imagine the situation of the Prometheus, a ship with the hope of the Old Earth Age that had fallen into the Black Forest for unknown reasons and could never leave it.
This inability to leave is not necessarily that their movements are restricted, but because the Prometheus was built in space, and its huge size is destined to prevent the technology of the Old Earth era from allowing it to take off on the ground, which means that as long as it lands on the ground, its engine power can no longer transport such a large brood ship into gravity-free space.
And even if it can fly, in such a special environment as the Black Forest, it is not certain that the place where they fly out is not cosmic space, maybe the cosmic space above is actually subspace, in that case, Prometheus without any subspace protection equipment will inevitably be swallowed by subspace.
At that time, the humans on the Prometheus already knew that they were destined to not leave, and naturally thought of settling here, and the Prometheus that was originally used for exploration and collection was not a suitable living environment, so the modification of the spacecraft was inevitable.
"So the Lancy people are the descendants of those earthlings?" Leo told Sylvia what he had thought and analyzed, and Sylvia guessed as he thought of the information he had received from the merchants.
"Well, most likely. Leo nodded, and then added: "It is very likely that the humans of the Veron World are also part of the blood of the Lanxi people, don't forget, the humans of the Black Forest tribe are the origin of the humans of the Velonon World, which is already a recognized fact, and where do the humans of the Black Forest tribe come from?" It is possible that some of them are from other humans in the starry sky, but more likely it is from this Lanxi who has taken root in the interior of the Black Forest. ”
"It's possible. Sylvia nodded her head in agreement.
Leo said: "The name Lancy is very interesting, we heard the name Lancy before, and we all thought that this name was transmitted here by the people of the first and second dynasties of the French Empire, but if you think about it the other way around, the founders of the first and second dynasties of the French Empire went out from here, and after they established the empire, they named the name of their imperial capital Lanxi, which is also reasonable. ”
Sylvia was silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Although there is no evidence to prove your inference yet, I think this inference is likely to be true. Not long ago, the United Kingdom carried out some archaeological excavations on the ancient ruins of Lan Xi, and found a tablet of notes belonging to the early Second Dynasty at the excavation site, which should belong to the early Second Dynasty, with a broken poem engraved on it, according to the archaeologists of the kingdom, it is likely that this verse is likely to be the poem of the Sun King of the Second Dynasty, because Della I is known as the king of poetry, and his poetry was extremely popular at that time, and there are many that have been handed down, and it can be analyzed from the grammar and diction of the text whether it was written by the same person. In that verse, Lan Xi is mentioned, and he calls Lan Xi the city of the world, the city of glory, the city of miracles that even the gods are amazed by, and according to the location of the stone slab, when the Sun King wrote this poem, Lan Xi City was being rebuilt after the war, and this stone slab was buried in the ground as a foundation, and the so-called city of miracles naturally did not exist. But now it seems that the city of miracles mentioned by the Sun King at that time may be the city of Lanxi where we are now. ”
When researching the history of the French Empire, Leo also read all the relevant materials of the pioneers of the three major dynasties of the French Empire, and naturally recorded the poems handed down by the king of poetry.
In the past, because they were not associated with each other, Leo had always regarded those poems at least as a kind of literature, but now that he has a connection with Lanxi City, he can taste some hidden meanings in those poems that originally had no special meaning.
In the eyes of the research scholars of the world of Veron, these poems praising Lanxi City are actually the Sun King's praise of himself and his greatness, but if you analyze carefully, you will find that the description of Lanxi City in these poems is almost the same as the current Prometheus.
"Shall we find a place to stay and stay here for a few days?" Sylvia proposed, also interested in Lancey City at the moment.
Leo thought about it when he heard this, and felt that Bailu's side should not be short of these few days, and he also wanted to get some useful information from this Prometheus, so he nodded and agreed to Sylvia's proposal.
The two of them had a lot of money, and instead of choosing the low-level inn that outsiders who had just arrived in Lanxi City would choose, they found a high-end hotel on the forty-seventh floor for foreign magnates, and after using Kinsa to open the way to obtain a certificate of nobility, Leo chose a room on the inside, rather than facing the middle patio, and prepared to live here for a few days.
Leo didn't pick this room randomly, he chose this room purely to prepare for the exploration of the Prometheus in the future, because according to the architectural drawings of the Prometheus in his head, there should be an emergency passage behind a wall in this room.
This emergency passage can directly lead to the secondary power cabin next to this material delivery cabin, in which there should be a computer that can connect to the main engine of the spacecraft, as long as the main computer of the spacecraft is connected, you can grasp the current situation of the spacecraft through the retrieval program of the host computer, and you can also access the flight records and other information of the spacecraft.
However, the only question that bothers Leo now is whether the computer control manuals and other materials of the old Earth era that were transmitted to his mind along with the information of the Prometheus can come in handy, and whether the computer host on the spaceship can still be used after so many years, after all, the computer host in the old Earth era does not have a strong enough protective coating for electronic equipment, let alone tens of thousands of years, even if it is hundreds of years, it may not be able to be preserved.
Upon entering the room, Leo easily found the emergency passage marked on the structural drawings, but it was blocked by a wall panel, but a slightly different sound could be heard when he knocked on the wall.
"Another secret passage?" Sylvia tapped along several walls as she saw Leo enter the room, and then heard a slightly different sound behind one of the walls, and immediately understood what Leo was doing.
"There should be a passage behind this. Leo explained.
Because in the Seventh Research Institute before, Leo had already demonstrated his ability to find secret passages, so now Sylvia was also a little surprised, and then she walked to the wall and knocked on the wall, saying: "If you want to enter the secret passage, this wall must be demolished, but if you demolish it like this, it will definitely be discovered." ”
"It doesn't have to be demolished. Leo shook his head and said, "Behind this wall should be the entrance and exit of that passage, and the main structure of this hotel was built by the Prometheus back then, so when they built it, they must have left a switch or something like that that can easily move the wall." ”
As he spoke, Leo searched around the walls and around the room.
He wanted to use the spirit web to explore this place, so that he could easily discover all the secrets in this room, but when he had such an idea, his intuition told him that it was dangerous, and in the end he chose to trust his instincts, even if his reason now judged that there was no trace of supernatural power here, and there was no omega-level higher life form monitoring this place.
"Found it!" After careful inspection, Leo soon found a hidden compartment in the corner of a wall, an ordinary iron clasp locked the hidden grid, and when he opened the iron clasp, he found that there was a ring switch in the hidden compartment.
After thinking about it for a moment, Leo tried to flip the ring switch, and after two turns, Leo felt a faint resistance coming from the ring, and he also heard a faint mechanical sound from the wall, and the wall on that side cracked a small gap.
Seeing this, Leo turned the ring switch back a few times to get everything back to the way it was.
It seems that the designers of this room have also considered how to open the emergency passage when there is no energy. Leo patted the dust off his body and said to Sylvia.
"I think it's a bit of a stretch," Sylvia said, taking a different view, "and if the situation here is really to the point where you need to open the entrance with your hands, then the situation here is probably so bad that it doesn't matter if you can enter that passage or not." ”
As for Sylvia's opinion, Leo was noncommittal, restored the dark grid, and cleaned it up a little, so that people could not see that there was a gap in the wall just now.
The two stayed in the room for a while, then went to the hotel's restaurant and ordered some food.
Although in terms of the appearance of the food, except for the different raw materials, the food here is not much different from the food of Velon, but Leo and Sylvia are still trying carefully when eating, after all, the environment of the Black Forest is completely different from the outside world, and seemingly harmless food can be fatal if eaten by the people of the Velen world.
Fortunately, Leo and Sylvia's bodies are extraordinary, and although they ate a little food that is not suitable for humans in the Velen world, it did not cause any burden on their bodies.
After eating, Leo and Sylvia decided to follow the tips in the booklet and head to the closest Lancy Historical Museum.
However, just as they were leaving the inn, a completely mechanical female voice came from the entire supply dispatch cabin, and the female voice spoke in the language of the old Earth era, and the content was to tell the time.
Judging from the attitude of the people around him who had become accustomed to this kind of sound, this female voice should be the sound of the time computer on the Prometheus, and the content of this voice was very appealing to Leo, because the time reported by the female voice was 436,873 earth time, and 4 p.m. on June 17.
