It is not accurate to say that it is a city.

It should be the ruins of a city.

It is built on the basis of a huge karst cave, and the erosion of time has made it impossible to see the details of the building, and can only vaguely recognize the outline of the building.

The building is built in a combination of steel and stone according to local conditions, and the floor height is generally about 20 meters. There is a clear street plan on the ground, which is full of traces of collapsed and weathered building materials.

The ruins are empty and deep, stretching endlessly as far as the eye can see.

Even if they are 2.6 million light years apart, they can still feel desolation and gusts of wind blowing in their faces.

Everyone looked at the picture in silence for a long time.

After half a ring, Director Zhang sighed leisurely: "It seems that this place has been completely abandoned for longer than we imagined." ”

Sheng Fei immediately answered: "If they also use concrete, it will take at least three to five thousand years to be abandoned before it will be weathered like this." ”

"Then there must be nothing left, it might as well be the ruins of space."

"Not necessarily, at least from an architectural point of view, their living habits can be analyzed, and there are many gadgets that can be preserved for thousands of years......"

"Then you'll have to do a carpet search of the ruins, but these buildings are all broken at a glance, how do you find them?"

"People always come up with solutions."

"Look, isn't that a ground pipe?"

In the midst of everyone's gossip, Ye Ming also called Yin Ta in his mind, asking her to take over the drone and continue to explore.

Unlike other people's "loss", Ye Ming has always maintained a calm and expectant mood.

Because logically, he decided that this should probably be the last refuge or survival place of the Azure Star civilization, at least one of them.

So...... Think about what an intelligent race does when they realize that their civilization is about to disappear?

In addition to saving Ye Ming himself, what is more important may be to preserve the essence of human civilization as much as possible - knowledge, culture, and art. And let these be known to more civilizations as much as possible, and at the same time, let these be used by the next intelligent race as much as possible, so that the spirit and essence of civilization can be continued and inherited to the greatest extent.

And the premise of all this is preservation.

Ye Ming felt that these blue star people who had created space cities, and even most likely visited the solar system thousands of years ago, would probably have the same similar thoughts as themselves at the end of their civilization.

As the drone advanced, the ruins went deeper and deeper, and the giant pipes were everywhere in the cave walls, and the pipe network built on the pipes was faintly recognizable.

After a brief exchange, Yin Ta simply followed the pipe all the way to the depths of the ruins.

Gradually, the ruins of a huge factory appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"If it were me, I would build a controlled fusion reactor in the dungeon, and then make full use of the residual heat from the fusion reactor to control the temperature of the whole city." Ye Ming looked at the ruins and said softly, "So I guess this is a fusion pile." ”

Director Zhang looked at him: "What about the food source?" ”

Zhou Xiangnan immediately said: "Synthesis? ”

"Well, synthesis is the way to go." Ye Ming nodded slightly, and let Yin Ta continue to move towards the depths: "At present, the synthetic starch of human beings seems to be only short of the low cost of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase. Well...... However, we can't assume that the Blue Star people also need starch as much as we do. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Ye, it's not writing a paper, there's no need to be so rigorous." At this time, Sheng Fei laughed: "Since the Azure Star ecosystem and the Earth are highly consistent, and now they both tend to be of the same origin, then the Azure Star creatures must eat about the same...... Right, Ink Valley? ”

Mo Gu had been watching quietly from the side, and at this time, he pursed his lips and smiled: "We boldly guess that it's right, some people can't talk to death." ”

Ye Ming: "......"

And they all rejoiced.

Indeed, after entering the Azure Star for exploration, Ye Ming has always been very conservative in his speech on slightly formal occasions, fully demonstrating the rigor of a scientist - even if he wants to guess, he will add many words and circumstances.

Obviously, this is not that Ye Ming is timid, but that the more he is faced with a big discovery, the more he needs to be calm and not reckless.

"Everything still has to wait until the probe spacecraft comes, and then make a comprehensive survey of the food chain and ecosystem here before making a decision." Saying that, Ye Ming paused: "But...... Since there are herbivores here, and the plants are also highly similar to the plants of the earth, then ...... It should be similar. ”

"They definitely have food processing plants, but not necessarily starch production plants. Could it be other organisms? Don't forget, the Blue Star people are highly accomplished in the field of biotechnology. ”

As he spoke, the drone had already crossed the area that Ye Ming identified as a giant change power plant, and came to another factory area with slightly low buildings.

This factory area is densely packed with pipelines, and even a huge vehicle can be vaguely recognized on the ground.

Seeing this, Ye Ming's eyes gradually lit up.

The degree of weathering and corrosion here is slightly less visible to the naked eye than where you came.

This means that they run a little longer.

At this moment, Yin Ta's voice suddenly sounded: "The drone's battery is thirty percent left, do you want to return?" ”

Ye Ming only thought about it for a moment and immediately decided: "Continue to explore." ”

"Roger."

"Moving on, let's look for the least weathered buildings."

"Roger."

The drone continues to move forward, and by this time it has gradually reached the edge of the underground space, and in terms of weathering, it is indeed lower, but even so, all the buildings are dilapidated, and have no exploration value, or any visible value.

Ye Ming's brows furrowed deeply.

This dungeon is too big, and there is no light source, it is completely a dead city, and it is too difficult to explore with the lighting of drones alone.

Of course, this is not the main thing, the main thing is that he did not see the iconic buildings or markings - could it be that the Blue Star people lay flat in the last moments of civilization's demise?

Seeing Ye Ming's expression, Director Zhang knew that he was a little disappointed, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Ye, don't worry, we are only the first entrance, such a big city, there must be more than one entrance, wait for the next time to get more batteries to explore again." ”

Ye Ming exhaled softly, and after a moment, he nodded slowly.

It seems that I am indeed in a bit of a hurry.

But at this moment, in the picture, a sudden light flashed!

A piece of light that seemed to be shining on the mirror was suddenly reflected back, so that the lens was flared.

"What's that?"

"Like gold?"

"The Golden Gate?"

In the midst of everyone's gossip, the drone's searchlight shone on the source of the reflection.

At the very edge of the city, a metal gate almost embedded in the cave wall shone with the characteristic glow of gold.

Rows of tadpole-like writing could be faintly seen on the door.
