Hao Ren asked everyone else, including Vivien, to wait in the back before he pinched the data terminal and walked towards the golden disk.He knew it was the weirdest and strangest creation in the dream plane, so it was always right to be cautious.He came to the artifact without any danger.The gold disc was set in a large metal pedestal, and around the metal pedestal, you could see a lot of pipes, cables, steel columns, and the like, all of which extended to the floor, making the whole installation look like a strange altar with a scientific style.Around the gold disc was a faintly glowing metal ring, which seemed to glow a little as Hao Ren approached, but there was no further reaction."
It seems to be broken," the data terminal examined the flow of energy in the pipes and cables around the metal round, "this thing was supposed to be an amplifier-like thing that could broadcast information from the golden disc to the entire fleet - but now the whole device is silent. ”Hao Ren nodded slightly, cautiously reaching for his hand to the surface of the disc.And yet nothing happened.A warm, metallic touch came from his fingertips, but he hadn't read anything from the artifact like he had done last time.It seems that this time the disc is just an ordinary goddess creation, and it does not carry any superfluous information.The data terminal flew around the disc several times to confirm that there were no dangers before declaring everything safe.The Nangong brothers and sisters and Lily came over curiously, and Lily tugged on Hao Ren's sleeve with a happy face: "It's okay?"
We've got a baby again?
”Vivien called out from afar, "What, can I go over now?"
”Hao Ren glanced back a little crying, and found Vivian standing at the door of the hall from a distance, with an expression that wanted to come over to see the excitement but was afraid of trouble.He beckoned to the door: "Come on, come on, it's better not to touch this thing, be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Ship." ”Vivien trotted over happily, crossed her arms and muttered, "Is this the thing that protected the Ark fleet and escaped all the way?"
So, the breath of the golden disc can dispel the mad Guardians?
”"Hmm......"
Hao Ren casually agreed, and began to curiously inspect the metal pedestal under the disc, wondering what other functions this device had besides using the disc as a signal source, but before he could make a discovery, the data terminal suddenly found something: "Wait a minute, partner, this" The data terminal flew to the corner of the pedestal and slammed its body into a protruding metal pole - originally everyone thought it was an ornament, but the data terminal knocked it down all of a sudden, Then there was a slight sound of mechanical friction coming from under the round table!"
Squeak and squeak—", with a series of gears and motor friction sounds, the golden disc slowly stood up, and the black metal pedestal below cracked a gap in the middle and slowly opened to both sides.Hao Ren watched all this dumbfounded, and when this ancient mechanism finally calmed down, a passage about five or six meters wide and inclined downward appeared in front of him.This Vivien habitually walked down the hallway, without traps. ”"Be careful, everybody."
Hao Ren said as he stretched out his shield and walked forward, he hesitated when he looked at the golden disc before entering the passage, but because he wasn't sure if this thing was still affecting the other sensitive systems of the Ark, he didn't rush to recover it, but left an autonomic machine here to protect the scene.The group walked down the ancient staircase until they reached the end of the staircase.In front of them was a wide corridor, and the lights were dim, but as soon as Hao Ren stepped on the floor of the corridor, the lights next to him suddenly activated, illuminating the entire corridor as bright as day.Compared to the Vault City on the surface, which had almost turned into a garbage dump, the corridor seemed new and unusual, with no garbage, no damage, no scars, and everything here was intact except for the thick dust.There is no doubt that the inhabitants of the surface did not know about this place, and it probably had not been visited by anyone for at least a few hundred years."
There shouldn't be this facility on any other ark."
Hao Ren muttered, because the builder of this place used the gold disc as the entrance to the entire facility, so this place may have an extraordinary meaning.As he walked down the corridor, he suddenly felt something under his feet, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a plastic card the size of a palm.He picked up the card and saw that it read "Final Vault", as well as his name and position, and it turned out to be a staff badge."'
Final Vault'?"
Vivien leaned over and looked at it, "Keeping it or something?"
”Hao Ren shook his head: "God knows." ”At this time, Lily, who was running in front, suddenly greeted from a distance: "Eh!
Let's take a look at this!
”Hao Ren hurriedly ran over, and he saw what Lily had found: it was a small skeleton that had fallen face down in the corner, and the clothes worn by the owner of this skeleton had rotted into a few rags, and he could only vaguely see that it was once a white garment.It was the second "prehistoric remains" he had seen in the Ark, and it was clearly a child."
Little children?"
Vivien frowned, "How could a child die in such a classified facility?"
”The data terminal floated over to examine the bones, and quickly analyzed a lot of information: "According to the human standards of the Ark, the age of death should be between twelve and thirteen years old, and the cause of death is a large dose of radiation in a short period of time. ”"Radiation to death?"
Hao Ren's first thought was the adult human skeleton he had found in the control room earlier, and he remembered that the Arkkeeper had died of some chronic disease that slowly corroded the skull, "Not a disease?"
”"You mean that guy in the control room has a weird disease?"
The data terminal knew what Hao Ren was referring to, "No.The child died about 800 years ago, while the 'captain' in the control room died about 900 years ago, a 100-year difference between the two.Well......
There was no sign of death from radiation to death in the control room, but there was one in front of me, and it was estimated that the radiation leakage from the reactor occurred between 800 and 900 years ago. ”"The one in the control room should be the last captain of the Ark," Hao Ren's brows furrowed slightly, and he vaguely felt that he had grabbed something, "After he died, no one should have entered the control room again."
But a hundred years after his death, a child died in this place......
"After examining the small corpse, the group continued to walk deeper into the corridor, and they passed through several gates in succession, passing through some structures like disinfection rooms, inspection passages, and isolation rooms, and finally they came to a special gate.The gate was wider than every previous one, and with its intricate locking mechanism, it was undoubtedly the deepest part of the facility.Hao Ren vaguely judged the distance he had traveled, believing that this location had greatly exceeded the shell of the Vault City, and might even have passed through the Ark Module where the giant fusion furnace was located (the evidence was that there was no radiation here), and this should be an empty cabin hidden between the city inside the ship and the Ark's shell, and judging by the newness of the various facilities here, it was rebuilt many years after the Ark set sail - its construction history is probably no more than a thousand years.The locking mechanism of the gate can still be used, so with the assistance of the data terminal, Hao Ren opened the door in front of him normally.As the two heavy metal plates slowly retreated to the sides, a huge silver-white space appeared in front of everyone.This is a large cylindrical module, with a diameter of 100 meters, and the height of the top and bottom is difficult to judge with the naked eye.In this cylindrical section, a large number of silvery-white metal boxes with a length of no more than 1.5 meters held in place by brackets were neatly arranged, all of which were firmly grasped by a complex set of robotic arms and suspended in the air of the cylindrical cabin.A wide long bridge runs through this section, and Hao Ren and the others are now standing at the starting point of this long bridge."
I'll ...... it" Lily looked up at the countless metal boxes neatly arranged, and her voice dragged on, "Wang, ......"
Hao Ren looked around, he thought that the metal boxes hanging in the air were definitely not fixed, and sure enough, he soon found that there was a device that looked like a console not far away.
