[Warning, Warning......]

【…… Crucible Program Activation Confirmation ...... The highest privilege execution is complete...... This aviation launch base enters the first stage of the launch preparation sequence......]

【Execution of Rocket Launch Procedures......】

[Warning, unrelated personnel, please leave the launch site immediately and in an orderly manner...... Repeat, irrelevant personnel should leave the launch site immediately and in an orderly manner......]

This was accompanied by an electronic AI warning sound that suddenly resounded inside the tower, coming from somewhere.

The long years have caused serious distortion in the sound quality of these broadcasts, but it can also make everyone present understand what it is broadcasting over and over again, and some of the original walls inside the tower have begun to change at this time, and under the roaring roar, some places that were once thought to be walls have become thick and huge gates.

In the face of sudden changes, not to mention the armed people, even the scavengers who had been thinking about how to divide the resources at the beginning were all stunned and at a loss.

Nothing happened in the last second, why did the big change in the next second make everyone feel like they were dreaming?

"What the hell is going on? Tower...... The tower is deformed?!"

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"

But then the picture in front of them changed, and everyone closed their mouths again, and they were shocked when they looked at the scene in front of them one by one.

The wall behind Lawrence suddenly began to crack, and if you looked closely, it was obvious that it was also a series of metal gates that had been closed, but it had not been activated for a long time, making it seem to merge with the surrounding walls.

But what really shocks people is what's behind the gates.

It was the center of the tower, the upper level was densely packed with countless intricate mechanical structures and pipes like spider webs in the middle, and the lower level looked like a huge pool, surrounded by several concave drainage grooves on both sides, and with the distorted sound of electronic AI constantly echoing the alarm, it was clear that there were many supports and pipes connected to the down-and-out rocket standing on the launch platform.

You can also see that there are many small mechanical facilities like drones in the surrounding air, and they also look very old, and they can only be said to be too reliable in quality if they can still operate normally.

"What the hell did you do?!"

Some of them finally reacted, and their eyes swept to Lawrence, who sat down against the obstacle behind him, but compared to the current Lawrence, he didn't have any desire to continue fighting at all, but looked very relaxed, and didn't care that the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding.

At this shout, everyone else came back to their senses, and their eyes swept over one by one.

"Hehehe......"

Unexpectedly, Lawrence saw the puzzled and panicked look of everyone, but he chuckled a few times again.

But without waiting for the other party to react, he spoke again, and said slowly in a tone as if he was telling a story, "What do I do? Isn't that obvious? Or are you forgetting these antiques from more than a hundred years ago?"

This caused many people to look confused, they really had never seen such a huge thing in their memory, let alone knew what it was.

The scavengers, however, had a few older ones looking thoughtful, but also uncertain, and their eyes looked away from Lawrence's body, constantly looking at the metal behemoth above.

Something from a pre-civilizational era?

If it is something from the pre-civilization era, it is normal if you don't know it, after all, a lot of knowledge and culture have long since been disconnected with time.

"Well, I can tell you that this was once a rocket launch base, and some of the Torch's accessories were launched from here...... Oh yes, I forgot, I'm afraid many of you have forgotten what the Torch is."

Lawrence didn't intend to continue to hide anything at this time, very simply

Neatly said what he thought.

And that history that many people don't know anymore:

"120 years ago, there were far more survivors on this planet than we do now, and at the same time, they had far more technology and industrial power than we do now, and they did their best to build a magnificent interstellar ark, this ark is called the Torch, in order to build this spaceship, they have exhausted almost all the resources available to our civilization on this planet, and they intend to use this ark to leave this planet forever and go to a new planet to redevelop our civilization."

"However, the space of the Torch is limited, and it can only carry hundreds of thousands of people."

Speaking of this, Lawrence paused, and after glancing at the crowd, he continued: "For a while, elites, scientists, technicians, etc. from all over the world quietly boarded the spaceship, but most of the rest, hundreds of millions of people around the world, were ruthlessly abandoned......

"What the hell are you trying to say? Who cares about what happened more than 120 years ago now?!"

But before the words were finished, the scavenger who had just come up to give Lawrence a punch interrupted the other party's words again, and the muzzle of the rifle in his hand was pointed at the other party again.

He didn't bother to comprehend this, and in his eyes he only wanted to know what was going on in front of him.

"You have to be patient."

Unexpectedly, at this time, Lawrence didn't care about the threat of weapons in the hands of these people at all, like an old man educating his children, and continued to continue slowly: "Most of the people in the world have been abandoned, and those parts that represent the true essence of our civilization have embarked on a long interstellar journey with the Torch, but before the Torch was launched, those who were abandoned did not just watch them leave, they were just like you now, at a timely time, Launched ***, global ***."

"The world is divided into two factions, the People's Army, which represents the People's Army, and the Government Army, which represents the Torch."

"You can imagine an armed army of hundreds of millions of people storming all the rocket launch bases, technology research centers, and orbital elevators all over the world at once...... It was the second world war that our civilization had started a few years after the Doomsday War."

"In just a few days, the number of casualties reached hundreds of millions, most of them civilian casualties against the well-equipped unmanned mechanical units of the government army......

said.

He chuckled again and looked at the people in front of him, "However, we are still one step too late, and we have not stopped the Torch from setting sail...... The assault force didn't stop the man......"

"What?"

"It's very simple, because I was there."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Hearing this, the scavenger's face changed drastically, and he immediately rebuked angrily, "Since you said that these things happened more than a hundred years ago, and you said that you were there at the time, aren't you now 120 years old? How can a man live that long?!"

A person can live for 120 years, and even the most sane person will look at you with the same eyes as if they were mentally ill.

You don't have a fever in your head, do you?

"Cryogenic technology, you only know the surface of this city, but you don't know what it used to do."

Lawrence looked at the furious scavenger in front of him with eyes like a monkey, even if his current life and death had already been between the other party's thoughts, but at this moment, his thoughts seemed to have traveled through the long river of time......
