Almost all of the sculptures are damaged – some have even been shattered to the point where they cannot be restored, and even the computing power of a data terminal cannot repair the missing parts of the statues and reliefs out of thin air.Hao Ren can only let the data terminals restore their original appearance as much as possible.The data terminal floats in the air, a light blue light curtain is projected into the air a few meters in front of it, where the light curtain is shrouded, time seems to be reversed, the broken sculptures and mutilated reliefs are reassembled into images, placed where they should be, the vines and moss are removed by the picture filtering system, revealing the original appearance of the walls and columns, and less than a third of the scene can be restored, and in the part that cannot be restored, the blue light curtain projects a large number of shaky shadows representing "unknown data".Hao Ren saw sculptures of human beings: men, women, young and old, of all races, neatly arranged on either side of the entrance to the hall, standing there as if they were a standard model of humanity specially designed to display them.Further on is the "star map" about the position of the planets, which is carved on a metal plate of five meters in length and width, and the metal plate stands in front of the human sculpture like a screen, which not only marks the relative positions of the planets and stars, but also marks a lot of things with various symbols."
Looks like this is really a 'guest book'," Hao Ren muttered as he touched his chin, "I guess there should be more than one building like this on this planet......
Maybe there's such a 'museum' in the center of every big city?
”Vivien shook her head, "We'll have to wait until we can find more ruins." ”The group of four finally stopped in front of a set of reliefs."
That's it."
Lily pointed to the relief with great pleasure in the fire, her golden eyes sparkling.On the picture restored by the data terminal, Hao Ren saw a very familiar scene: huge tentacles grew from the depths of the earth, the tentacles shook the entire continental structure, set off devastating floods and earthquakes, and the cities built by humans were destroyed in pieces in the face of disasters, buildings collapsed, bridges collapsed, and countless magnificent buildings were destroyed.After a succession of natural disasters, it is the arrival of the blood tide: the relief depicts this scene in a very figurative way, with large shadows enveloping the world of human existence, and all kinds of creatures twisting and melting in front of the shadows, turning into chaotic lines and lumps, people who see these pictures for the first time may be a little dazed, but Hao Ren can see at a glance that this is depicting the process of creatures being swallowed and fused by the blood tide.In the last few parts of the relief, Hao Ren sees the process of resistance of the indigenous creatures of the planet - they seem to have built huge steel fortresses, relying on completely isolating themselves from the outside ecology to resist the attacks of their eldest sons, but as happened on the planet Tanagus, these steel fortresses soon fell; They also sent a large number of mechanical troops to attack the tentacles protruding from the surface, but such a counterattack only slowed the pace of the catastrophe: for they dwelt in the body of the Destroyer, the enemy of the entire world in which they lived, everywhere and from which there was no escape."
Look here," Vivien pointed to the end of the relief, due to the serious defect of this part, the picture restored by the data terminal also looks blurry, but there is still something in the blurred picture that can be understood, on one of the pictures, there is an obvious scene of the spaceship taking off, "They seem to have built a large spaceship and launched a large number of people and materials into space, but there is no follow-up after that." ”Hao Ren showed a thoughtful expression, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the picture on the relief, but his fingers passed through the light curtain projected by the data terminal, and finally came into contact with only a layer of rough and corroded metal: "Judging from these pictures, the indigenous civilization on this planet was indeed destroyed by the eldest son, and until the final part of the picture, the eldest son still occupies an overwhelming advantage......
But I don't know what happened in the thousands of years since then, the planet has become what we see today, the ecological environment seems to have recovered, although the eldest son is still active, but it has not continued to destroy the biosphere, and it is ......"
"And there are also those 'survivors' who drove bombers and fought with tentacles," Nangong May patted the ground with his tail, "Something must have happened after the time point of these reliefs, changing the direction of subsequent events." ”Hao Ren nodded: "This planet is different from what we have seen before, it seems that it is necessary to study it carefully." ”In the ensuing exploration, they visited almost every corner of the building, and although they found some discoveries, they did not find any more valuable clues.On the top floor of the building, they found some sealed secret rooms wrapped in a special alloy monolith, and after cutting open the shells of these secret rooms, Hao Ren found some ancient equipment that had been completely damaged and could no longer be repaired, as well as some human remains that could have been used as equipment operators, and through identification, the data terminal confirmed that all operators had died by suicide.The chambers were completely sealed and could not be opened from the outside, but structurally it was impossible for the people inside to come out after the locking device was dropped, so these chambers were designed to be tombs.Vivien guessed that the people who remained in these chambers were the last of the City Watch, who controlled the last of the city's defenses through various devices, and that they ended their lives in these "safe houses" after all the defenses were destroyed.In the part of the building that has sunk into the ground, Nangong May found some ancient computer rooms and reactors that have been half-submerged by water by manipulating the water element, they should be the "brain" and "heart" of this ancient facility, due to the immersion in water and age, the computer room has become a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron that has completely lost its value, Hao Ren originally hoped to find some chips and other things that store information from those ancient machines, but in the end he found nothing.As for the reactor, which has been completely destroyed......
The data terminal can only judge that it is a very efficient fusion furnace, but the specific technical details cannot be restored.The exploration continues until nightfall that day.After exploring the pyramid building, Hao Ren and his party also inspected several other places in the city, finding a large pile of discarded machinery and weapon wreckage, and Lily even found a delicate model of a ship, which Vivien believed was a toy that children had played with back in the day.From an archaeological point of view, their subsequent explorations can be described as fruitful, but from the perspective of uncovering the historical truth, only what is seen in the previous "sculpture hall" is the most valuable part.Due to the confirmation of the existence of the eldest son, the natural environment in the wild no longer seems safe, Hao Ren gave up the plan to spend the night between the ruins and the forest, and after the data terminal and Nolan established a coordinate connection, the group teleported back to the spaceship directly through space.The people on the spaceship had been waiting for a whole day, and due to the damage to the central host, Nolan had to transfer all his computing power to repair the system, so the people who stayed on the spaceship didn't even have to watch a movie, which was stuffy to everyone: especially the lively Elizabeth, the little girl was bored and dangled around the spaceship with a cone for a whole day, which scared Nolan enough.As a cat, at least a mental cat, she hasn't developed too many human hobbies, half of the day is spent napping on her stomach, and the other half is spent dealing with a ball of yarn.To be honest, the other people who stayed on the spaceship were very envious of this stupid cat, how good it would be to have her heart, one person can play with a ball of yarn......
All in all, the return of Hao Ren and his party immediately ignited the spirits of Elizabeth and Nangong Sanba, and even Doudou jumped over and jumped on Hao Ren to ask the latter what he had found all day out."
I found a lot of things, but can you let me take a breath first," Hao Ren waved his hand to drive Elizabeth and Nangong Sanba aside, and after finishing it in his captain's seat, he looked around the bridge, and found that many of the things that were destroyed before had now "grown" as before, "Nolan, is the regeneration going well?"
”"It's going a little more smoothly than expected," Nolan's voice came from all around, "because there is no external intrusion, and the repair of this ship can be carried out at full speed." ”"Is there a signal response to the rediscovery of the indigenous civilizations of this planet?""
Aside from the wave of air units you encountered during the day, the ship has not found any more signal responses.""
Hmm......
Okay, this is not in a hurry," Hao Ren waved his hand, "We found some information left by the ancients in the ruins of the city......
"A circle of people gathered on the bridge, listening to Hao Ren and his party of four tell about the discoveries of their exploration trip, except for Doudou and Roll, everyone was actively using their brains, thinking about the meaning behind those reliefs, and the information revealed by the few flying machines that appeared during the day.Izax was the first to speak: "The reliefs are supposed to have been recorded by the last of the Guardians left on the planet, who retreated to these cities after the ship's liftoff, leaving behind sculptures and reliefs in the last moments.This explains why the content of the relief comes to an abrupt halt after the escape ship lifts off: the person who left the relief has no idea what happened after that. ”"I think so too," Hao Ren nodded, "The ship they launched should only take some of the people with them, maybe less than a tenth of the total population - a large number of the remaining people are left on the planet, and these defenders should have resisted for a while after the ship lifted off, until the eldest son completely destroyed all the defenses, and during this time, they had time to leave enough information for the newcomers." ”Nangong Sanba interjected: "But the city was not completely destroyed by the eldest son - although it is indeed a ruin now, it is obviously more damage caused by the passage of time, if it was caused by the eldest son, the whole city should be more completely destroyed." ”"So I suspect that the destruction of the eldest son has not reached the end of the process," Hao Ren said his own conjecture, "after the death of the human beings on the planet, the activities of the firstborn probably stopped—leaving behind the relatively well-preserved ruins of the city and the entire ecosystem." ”If this weren't the case, Hao Ren and his party should have seen an even more desolate world after coming here.Vivien brought up another thing at this time: "What do you think about the flying machines you saw during the day?"
”"Survivor," Lily didn't think much of at this time, "what else could it be." ”"'Survivors' is fine, but the key is......
Where are they the survivors," Hao Ren tapped his fingers on the armrest of his seat, "are they the descendants of the rebels left behind on the planet's surface, or are they ......
The group of people who were launched into the sky back then?
”
