Chapter 145: Unknown Civilization
"Digging such a big hole in such a short period of time, you are also amazing."
Xia Lian walked in this cave, looking at the cave that was completely different from the last time he came, with amazement in his eyes.
"Winter is coming soon, and everyone is motivated to survive, but because of this, there have been many collapses in the mine.
This is also under the dungeon, so many people are worried about whether such excavation will lead to the instability of the overall structure of the dungeon.
In such a huge ant-nest city, as long as one node collapses, it is very likely to cause a chain reaction. ”
"What are you going to do?" Xia Lian asked.
"According to current calculations, the structure is stable, and the winter will make the land stronger, but the winter will not necessarily pass.
However, according to Freya's calculations for the recently collected celestial data, the earth will warm up after this winter passes.
People will be able to officially try to live on the ground. Einstein replied.
Xia Lian nodded.
They continued to go deeper into this coal cave, and soon, they reached the destination of this trip, in front of them, it looked like a natural karst cave, but this karst cave has been artificially modified, and there are many traces of civilization and buildings.
A stone corridor leads to the temple embedded in the cliff not far away, and at the entrance of the temple are two huge statues, humanoid but hairless, with the face of a hairless cat, each with a weapon in his hand, guarding the temple.
"If they don't have any animal worship, the character models used by these two guards should be the life of this civilization." Albert Einstein said on the side.
The three of them passed the road together, and although it has been eroded by time, it is still as strong as ever.
Xia Lian stepped forward and gently touched the stone elephant on it, wiped off a layer of heavy dust, revealing the material behind it, it should be gold, but I don't know how much purity it has.
Mercury used the detector on her body to collect the above data and analyze it, and after a pause, she said to Xia Lian.
"According to carbon analysis, these things are at least 4,000 years old."
"That's been a long time." Xia Lian raised his eyebrows and said unexpectedly, he looked at the buildings around him, "Four thousand years have passed, can it be so well preserved." ”
"It may have something to do with the anaerobic environment of the underground space." Albert Einstein said.
Xia Lian bowed.
"Let's go in and have a look." Xia Liandao.
However, as soon as he stepped out and was about to enter the temple, he was stopped by mercury, "Most of these ruins will have some mechanisms, so let me come first." ”
Without waiting for Xia Lian's consent, Mercury stepped forward first and entered the temple, where some chaotic collision sounds came from inside.
It didn't take long for Mercury to come out of it.
"Your Highness, you can come in."
As she spoke, Mercury raised her hand, and the gravitational rod appeared in her hand, and it became a ring that floated above her head, turning into a circle of light.
While AS can provide Xia Lian with night vision, and his Eye of Horus allows him to see more clearly at night, this beam of light also allows them to see a little more clearly.
Follow the mercury into the temple, which was a clutter, with some sharp spikes protruding, many arrows stuck in the walls, and some deep pits.
Mercury's way of cracking these traps is very rough, that is, triggering them all once, and then violently dismantling.
The tunnels were so narrow that they had to bend slightly to walk, and it seemed that this civilized person would not be as tall as the statues outside, but would be a much smaller species.
It seems that due to the fact that it is in an underground cavern, and there is a chronic lack of oxygen here, the air is very dull, and a chill rushes from the end of the deep darkness, which is definitely a nightmare for claustrophobic.
It closely resembles the various burial chambers depicted in many types of tomb robbing.
Fortunately, the corridor was not very long, and after a few minutes of walking, they entered a very large hall.
Circular stone pillars supported the structure of the temple, and in front of them was a huge statue of an alien god.
The style of the clothes carved on it is somewhat similar to that of Persia in India, with very little fabric.
And on the ground of this temple, it was covered with white bones.
It's not a statue, it's a real creature bone, I don't know if it's an animal or the life of this civilization, it's all over the ground, they seem to be the guards of the temple, some weapons are scattered on the ground, but due to the erosion of time, it's basically invisible.
It was only from some of the blades that were still well preserved that these things were weapons.
Mercury crouched down and began to carefully scan the data of the bones.
"The owner of these bones should have been dead for three thousand years."
"The temple that has been dead for three thousand years, four thousand years, so to speak, this civilization has been at least a thousand years old." Xia Lian muttered softly.
"The Eternal Night Star doesn't look like a place for civilization to live." Albert Einstein said.
"Who knows, the evolution of life is always magical, and maybe it just happened to evolve life that can survive in such an extreme environment." Xia Lian shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Your Highness, the biological configuration has been established."
Mercury said.
"Here's what I calculated based on the algorithm as the owners of these bones looked like."
Charlen and Einstein stared intently.
It looks similar to the guards outside, and some resemble Pyrus, the god of destruction in Dragon Ball.
"No hair?" Albert Einstein asked.
Mercury shook his head, "There are no hair genes. ”
"Speaking of which, the statues outside are also like this hairless cat."
"Although life is magical, there are some basic laws that should be observed, in such cold weather, life must find a way to retain its body temperature in order to survive, so it must be a long-haired creature.
It's like these yaks.
Also, I think that in such an environment, it is more likely that small creatures can survive.
It consumes less resources, and the action consumes fewer calories.
Even if a creature of this size survives, there is no possibility of forming a scale at all, and they can't solve it with food alone. Albert Einstein said.
Xia Lian touched his chin thoughtfully.
Speaking of which, the clothes these aliens wear are also a little strange, too thin, not so much a civilization born in the ice and snow.
It's more like a civilization born in the tropics. ”
"We can take these bones back and use the laboratory to analyze the genes of primitive organisms, which should be able to analyze the environment in which this creature evolved." Mercury said.
Xia Lian bowed, "Then bring it back." ”
Tai raised her head and looked at the idol in front of her, her eyes wide with anger in her eyes, as if with endless anger in her eyes, and her weapon in hand, as if she could tear her enemies apart at any moment.
"Isn't that the god the Pope is talking about?" Albert Einstein said, "It looks a little bit like some kind of evil god." ”
Xia Lian didn't speak, he keenly noticed that there was a skeleton under the statue that looked very different.
He maintained a reverent and prostratory posture, and it seemed that because of the angle, the bones had been supported in this posture.
He stepped forward, and beneath him, he found a book made of leather, on which something was written in a very unfamiliar script.
