Chapter 18 is waiting to be revealed

"Very well, let's go to the last passage."

Ruan Lin came to a conclusion through these changes in his tone: this may be an advanced AI with feelings and the ability to think independently.

On the way back to the hall, Ruan Lin's steps were particularly heavy.

Although he knew that this extraterrestrial civilization was waiting for humanity, three million years had passed since this indefinite wait. At that time, humans were still fully evolved apes.

How did he know human language? Could it be that some of the creatures in their civilization are disguised as humans? And then uploaded the information about the human beings here?

Walking to the center of the hall, he couldn't help but sigh, "What are these instruments made of?" It's amazing that it's still functioning after millions of years. ”

Ruan Lin walked towards the last passage, which was the last key to solve all doubts.

Walking to the end of the passage, the layout of the room this time has changed drastically compared to the previous two. There is no light here, and you can't see your fingers. There was no familiar seat either.

Ruan Lin observed the surrounding walls through the night vision device, which were densely engraved with alien characters that he couldn't understand, and the three surrounding walls were full of this kind of earth-like hieroglyphs, and it seemed that there was no end in sight when he looked up.

Ruan Lin is confident that with enough time, he can decipher the full meaning of these words.

He just stood in the middle of the room, waiting for the final question.

The voice from nowhere began to ask again:

"Suppose you need to save a lower civilization that is very similar to yours. But you are being chased by a higher civilization, and your spaceship can easily escape from them, but a lower civilization similar to you does not have this ability, will you choose to save this lower civilization or directly escape from the pursuit of this higher civilization? ”

Ruan Lin said without thinking: "If I get along well with this civilization, I will choose to rescue them." In my mother civilization, I am the last person left. I am the whole civilization. In our civilization, there have been countless people who shed their blood and shed their heads for their faith, which may seem foolish to you. But the glorious moment of human civilization is the last moment of devotion in life.

Or to put it in our most cheesy words. No matter how you live your life, it is better to do something meaningful.

People are inherently dead, and death is heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than a feather. ”

At the same time as Ruan Lin finished saying the last word, a cloud-like holographic projection with a width of 3 meters suddenly appeared. Ruan Lin can easily tell what is shown on the projection.

It was a high-resolution depiction of our star system, with data on the planets at a glance.

There is also Ruan Lin's home planet, Earth.

At this time, the voice lamented:

"Go ahead and find out the final truth. Everything will see the light of day again. ”

The surrounding walls collapsed with a bang, revealing an oval hallway.

Ruan Lin complained inwardly: Obviously, this civilization thinks that underground structures are a very fashionable concept.

Ruan Lin contacted the digging robots that were waiting outside, and decided to enter the empty corridor with them.

Ruan Lin stepped into the corridor illuminated by white light first, but there was nothing around. Ruan Lin also noticed the alien characters carved on the surrounding walls.

Ruan Lin pulled his hair: "What do these words mean?" They resemble early ancient Egyptian scripts. It shouldn't take me long to decipher it. ”

Ruan Lin had the idea of deciphering: "After all, he is also a scholar of ancient civilization excavation!" The Frenchman Champollion was the first to let the inscriptions speak, and I might be able to follow his example, where each hieroglyph has a separate pronunciation. ”

Based on the repeated comparison of a large number of alien texts, Ruan Lin deciphered the meaning of the first group of texts: Huni. The meaning of this set of words puzzled Ruan Lin incomparably, is this the name of the species?

After completing the decipherment of the text of the 30th group, Ruan Lin was completely relieved: "These are all the names of the species!" How long is this corridor exactly? It's surrounded by a dense array of names! for up to a million. ”

Ruan Lin's incomprehension turned into shock again, is this civilization commemorating them by carving so many names? Their civilization has developed to such an extent, why are they still using such hieroglyphs?

Ruan Lin continued to walk deeper, surrounded only by the sound of his own footsteps and the vibration of the robot's tracks.

It grew dark ahead. Nguyen Lam has walked at least 2km on this pass. Orange light suddenly lit up above the passage, as if guiding Ruan Lin to the deepest depths.

The space in front of him became wide again, and Ruan Lin knew that this was the room that had reached the deepest point.

The room was surrounded by some sort of computer with a faint blue light, and in the center was a small cloud-like projection.

Ruan Lin slowly dragged his feet closer to it, and in an instant it began to play: a burly, grayish-white 'human' slumped on the ground. He's the ideal of a human body! With no hair on his body, Ruan Lin speculated that he was at least about 2 meters tall.

This also explains why the previous chair was designed the way it was. His deep, dark eyes were fixed in front of the screen, as if trying to see through the video.

Although he didn't understand what he said next, it made Ruan Lin's soul tremble, and he could understand the meaning of each sentence: "We still failed in the end, and they tore our entire fleet apart like an ant. There is nothing left. We're all going to die here, in this icy spaceship.

I'm worried about my compatriots on the home planet, they're sure to find it there, and ......"

The footage ends abruptly. Ruan Lin stayed where he was, terrified: "This... Isn't this the scene in my dream? Why is it here? Am I in a virtual universe? That's impossible.. Why did I know what this creature was saying? ”

There was no sign of a fight, no corpses, only a deathly silence.

Ruan Lin was almost insane, and he began to search around the room for useful information, not missing any angle.

He was right, and in one of the corners, a small device was found. Ruan Lin has been going crazy lately, pressing the surface of this device indiscriminately, eager to open it.

At the moment when Ruan Lin broke it hard, the projection began to play again, and Ruan Lin hurriedly turned on his video function. The two aliens appear to be disassembling a large piece of equipment, and when the assembly is complete, they both sigh. Then came the language Ruan Lin didn't understand, but from the tone of their conversation, it was clear that they seemed to be desperate.
