The trail is all broken.

This happened undoubtedly greatly beyond Bai Ye's expectations.,It's not such a process when you get the 12th unknown structure.,It's basically like a treasure hunt.,Step by step, you finally found the treasure according to the treasure hunt.。

As a result, I have just begun to get some clues here, and I suddenly and inexplicably cut off the way forward.

「……」

Lawrence didn't know what Bai Ye was thinking in his head, he looked at the girl in front of him who had fallen into deep thought from the beginning, and the atmosphere fell into a strange state again.

The content just now was also quite shocking to him, almost crushing all the cognition he had established in the last few years and re-establishing it again, at first he thought that the sudden launch of nuclear wars by various countries was a problem with the high-level brains of various countries, but now he was told that the real truth was like this.

Because of the bright future that technology may bring, the world's top leaders have fought and even destroyed their own civilizations.

It's really hard to know what to say.

「…… Excuse me, dear alien guest, is there anything else you have to do?"

Long.

Faced with this strange silence, seeing that Bai Ye was still there with a thoughtful gesture, Lawrence thought for a moment and asked again.

"Oh, there's nothing going on."

Bai Ye, who was pulled back from his thoughts, looked at Lawrence, and only then did he realize that he had just fallen into thinking and forgot that he was still in the other party's room, and directly left the other party in place.

"I had a great time talking to you, and I learned a lot of information I needed, so you can treat it as if I never came."

Coming back to her senses, she temporarily suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and walked towards the location of the floor-to-ceiling window as she spoke, and before Lawrence could react, a blue light shot straight down from the silver sphere above, hitting the white leaves standing on the balcony.

In a flash, the world in front of her returned to the familiar interior of the bridge.

"Can you lock on to the location where the nuclear bomb hits the most?"

Restarting the shipboard system, she immediately opened her mouth to ask the shipboard AI before she could sit still.

After thinking about it just now, she still got a way to continue the investigation:

Vacuum energy extraction technology is not only a highly sophisticated alien technology that is extremely valuable to the civilization, but also the root cause of the civilization's self-destruction.

After determining what caused the destruction of this civilization, since the governments of the world launched a nuclear war on the premise of snatching this technology or device in the first place, based on the principle of "I don't get it, don't want it, don't want it", then all the nuclear bombs must have been launched at the experimental base or underground facility that has this technology in the first place, so although the area with the most nuclear bomb hits has a considerable probability of having its own clues that need to be traced.

[It's very simple, it turns out that there is still this method that can be used.] 】

The shipborne AI is not a fool either, and the moment he gets the order, he already understands the true purpose of Hakuba.

The holographic mass model of the planet immediately appeared on the platform in front of him, and the shipborne scanning system immediately modeled and calculated the traces of the nuclear explosion on the surface of the entire planet, and soon got the answer that Bai Ye wanted to see.

An offshore island in the southern hemisphere of the planet has been hit by an apparently unusually large number of high-yield nuclear bombs.

The bombardment of an island with hundreds of maximum regularity nuclear bombs, almost erasing the island from the face of the planet, in the context of a global nuclear war that I will kill and must drag you into the water, is the most bizarre situation at all.

Bai Ye glanced at the second candidate target, the target area with the second most nuclear craters was eighty percent less than it.

[No anomalous data information has been detected, but data modeling has shown that there was once an obvious artificial underground structure underneath the island, but it was extremely damaged by the blows of the ground-penetrating nuclear bomb.]

Seriously, a large number of areas have been covered by seawater. 】

[If there is a clue here, I don't feel that the situation is very optimistic.] 】

At the same time, the shipboard AI also carried out remote and detailed detection of this area, showing the real-time situation in the area in front of Bai Ye.

"I'm sure this clue won't go away with a nuclear bomb explosion, if it exists at all."

Bai Ye stared at the data model on the holographic projection, and as he spoke, he raised his hand to start the spaceship engine and galloped towards the destination.

The huge silver sphere disappeared silently over the city in an instant, and most of the city's residents, except for Lawrence and a few other insiders, looked up, and their faces continued from the beginning to the end.

When the dim sunlight covered the earth again, many of them had not yet come to their senses.

A few seconds after the ship vanished, the cacophony of chatter exploded through every street, in every room.

But this discussion and noise did not last long, because not long after the alien spaceship left here, the law enforcement officers in the city quickly came to the only scavenger hall in the city, and announced in the name of the city lord that the alien spaceship landing incident just now was no big deal and there was no need to continue to discuss what to do, and at the same time posted the latest scavenger policy on the notice board at the door.

"What? Forty percent of the harvest?!"

"What are you kidding, Master Lawrence is crazy, does he really know what this stat means?!"

"It's a way to live!"

Looking at the announcement that all waste pickers will need to hand over forty percent of the harvest to the city management department after entering the city in the future, even the controversy caused by the alien spaceship landing incident just now was instantly blown away in the face of their future quality of life.

Many of the scavengers who go out early and return late every day have extremely ugly faces, and they understand what this means better than anyone else.

Several of them even gathered together and talked in low voices.

Since more than a year ago, Lawrence has begun to impose quite harsh taxes on the city's waste picker teams, if the resources handed over are used to maintain the city, it will be fine, but no matter how many resources are handed over, the city's environmental status is getting worse day by day, and everyone is looking at these things.

No one knows where all these huge resources are going.

It is not that no one chooses to resist or protest, but in the face of the terrifying combat effectiveness of Lawrence's only unmanned mechanized riot force, every protest end in bloodshed.

Now, this exploitation has intensified.

"Wait, could it be that it has something to do with the alien spaceship just now?"

Suddenly.

A voice suddenly appeared in the arguing crowd, and the person next to him followed the voice, only to find that the person who said this was a thin man, and it was obvious that he was a rookie scavenger in his attire.

"What do you mean by that?"

Obviously, the speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, and his words were undoubtedly interested after falling into the ears of a few people next to him.

"Ugh...... I mean......"

Seeing that his casual words had attracted the attention of many people around him, the man was a little timid for a while, but he quickly calmed down again and continued with courage: "This is just a guess of mine, you see, the city lord has been collecting extremely abnormal taxes to obtain a lot of resources since more than a year ago, but the current situation of the city is getting worse day by day, resources will not disappear out of thin air, and we have not had a large number of resource trade exchanges with other cities, So where do all these huge resources go?"

"Yes, yes."

"That's right, where did all these resources go, one of my buddies is from the city administration, I asked him, and he told me that these resources haven't come out since they were sent under the tower in the middle of the city, and asked me not to continue to inquire."

Faced with this problem, around no

Few people immediately began to echo, and there were also some people from some channels who shared the information they knew.

"Yes, these resources seem to have disappeared out of thin air."

Seeing this, the man was not as timid as he was just now, but began to gradually enter the state, and continued to speak: "At first, I couldn't understand it, but after seeing this alien spaceship just now, I suddenly thought of a possibility, is it that our city lord contacted the alien civilization more than a year ago, and then he reached an agreement with the alien civilization, the content of the agreement is that one day in the future, the alien civilization's spaceship will come and take him and some of his people away from this planet and go to a new world to start a new life. Just as the Torch abandoned us for the New World!"

"These resources are the reserves that our city lord has stored and used to make a comeback when the time comes."
