A picture appeared in Li Yao's mind.
One after another, the strange and majestic star sea battleships transported a large number of Pangu civilization warriors, wise men, researchers and academic authorities, as well as their families, to the entrance to the ancient ruins.
Before leaving the starship and entering the ancient ruins, they all signed a contract and made a solemn oath - from now on, they will isolate themselves from the world and use all their lives and souls to explore the mysteries of the ancient times until they are completely Only when you can crack the ancient riddles and overthrow the "black wall" that binds the entire civilization can you return to your hometown.
In fact, the first group of experts and scholars knew very well that due to the depth, mystery and complexity of the ancient ruins, they would not be able to achieve their goals even if they spent their entire lives.
The best they can do is to cast their own corpses into new steps so that their descendants can step on their shoulders and climb up step by step to reach their final destination.
Even so, they had no regrets and gave up everything they had in the mortal world, escaping into this quarantine area known as the "Fairy Palace".
"The so-called 'immortal' in 'Immortal Palace' naturally refers to the 'original ancestor', who is the creator of the Black Wall.
However, over time, the outside tribesmen misunderstood and actually thought that was what we called ourselves."
Moon Watcher sighed slightly, showing a sadness that was very inconsistent with his immature face, and continued, "It's no wonder.
It was only a long time later that I realized that the life in the Immortal Palace was so different from the life in the core area of Pangu Civilization. , after thousands of years of fermentation, the civilizations on both sides developed in two completely different directions, almost becoming two races and two civilizations with great differences and deep barriers.
"In the Immortal Palace, although the environment is ever-changing and full of dangers and treacherous and deadly traps, most of the residents here are experts, scholars and their descendants.
Everyone has a relatively pure heart and is moving forward with the same mission.
There is no There are too many intrigues and the social order is very simple, like a 'paradise'.
"However, outside the Immortal Palace, the core area of Pangu Civilization was affected by the failure of the Great Expedition, as well as the existence of the 'Flood Tide' and the 'Original Ancestor', which fermented all kinds of rumors and alarmist theories and eroded society.
Very turbulent, people are extremely anxious, almost Everyone is worried about the 'doomsday' issue all day long.
In addition, resources are limited, and a large amount of resources have to be transported to the 'Immortal Palace' for us to analyze the secrets of ancient civilizations and original ancestors.
Therefore, social development is almost at a loss.
There was stagnation, civil strife and fights that continued all year round.
"In order to suppress the turbulent situation and free all the people from the fear of 'doomsday', many people from the highest authorities have come up with methods of 'emotional sealing and mental control'.
However, as I just said, their Emotional sealing and mental control are misguided and will only further emasculate the will and creativity of the people, which will naturally arouse larger-scale resistance.
"However, after all, Pangu civilization has developed for nearly a million years.
It is the well-deserved overlord of the Pangu universe.
It is deeply rooted to the extreme.
It will take a long time for scabies to develop to the point where the disease has entered the bone marrow.
Before that, it will take a whole thousand years. , the relationship between the Immortal Palace and the outside world is still barely stable - the outside world is asking the Immortal Palace Providing a steady stream of resources, including a large number of crystals, natural materials and earthly treasures, as well as the best talents from the outside world, the Immortal Palace continues to discover and analyze the secret treasures within the ancient ruins.
After figuring out the principles, it has obtained a large number of new Technology and replicas of magic weapons were exported to the outside world, maintaining the last vestige of vitality of Pangu civilization.
"Although we have not yet understood the purpose of the original ancestors and the technology they adopted, the one hundred ancient civilizations that have fallen here one after another have the same level of evolution as us.
Countless scholars and adventurers burned their souls, sacrificed their lives, and fought day and night.
After hard work, there is still a lot to gain.
"The first thousand years after the establishment of the 'Immortal Palace' passed peacefully like this.
It was not only the golden years of the Immortal Palace, but also the last glory of the Pangu civilization outside.
“That was the era of my fathers and ancestors, and I was born in the second millennium when Pangu civilization discovered ancient ruins.
"In the second millennium, there are more and more conflicts between the Immortal Palace and the outside world, the atmosphere is becoming more and more tense, and the situation is becoming more and more weird and unpredictable, like a dark haze hanging over both sides.
"First of all, through the great excavations in the past thousand years, we have found all the easily analyzed technologies and easily copied magic weapons in the Immortal Palace.
What lies ahead are all very hard bones to crack.
"Since you are also a weapon refiner, you should also have a certain understanding of fields such as materials science, psionics, aerodynamics, etc.
You know that difficult problems in cutting-edge academic fields are not solved step by step, and can be achieved by investing as much resources as you want.
Many times, the proof of a formula or the discovery of a law requires not only the flash of inspiration of a genius, but also mysterious luck.
"We have exhausted all our luck in the first millennium.
By the second millennium, the technical difficulties before us are like towering mountains one after another.
It cannot be overcome overnight.
How many days will it take?
Generations of people, hundreds of years of hard work.
“However, the tribesmen outside cannot wait that long.
"In the last millennium, they have become accustomed to the 'pay with one hand, deliver goods with the other' model of getting along with each other.

They have continuously invested a large amount of resources into the Immortal Palace, and the Immortal Palace will deliver to them a large number of advanced, Mature and very practical technologies and magic weapons allow them to use these things to temporarily calm anxious and restless people.
"But now, for a full hundred years, we have not delivered many valuable technologies and magic weapons to the outside world, and the outside world has to maintain the input of a large amount of resources.
This will inevitably make the leaders of the outside world and those in the highest authorities of Pangu Civilization I was dissatisfied and had many doubts.
"Alas, now that I think about it, when we were building the Immortal Palace and recruiting researchers and explorers, we made a very serious mistake - we absorbed the entire civilization's most cutting-edge experts, scholars and researchers in cutting-edge fields into the Immortal Palace.
Among them, those who stayed outside were all the most cutting-edge politicians and soldiers.
Although there was an 'academic committee' that served as a bridge for communication between the two sides, the scholars who stayed in this committee were all second-rate.
"The way of thinking of experts and scholars and politicians and soldiers is completely different.
No matter how we explain to them the difficulties of research and the importance of maintaining continuous resource investment, they turn a deaf ear and keep asking us to come up with research results as soon as possible, otherwise It is necessary to reduce investment in the Immortal Palace, and even send out an inspection team to conduct a comprehensive liquidation of the work of the Immortal Palace in the past thousand years. " Having said this, Moon Watcher's face clearly showed a trace of disappointment and annoyance.
Li Yao was a little dissatisfied.
Moonwatcher has been in ancient ruins since he was a child.
It can be said that he is a pure scholar who grew up in a laboratory.
Naturally, he does not know the complexity of worldly affairs and the dangers of people's hearts.
However, Li Yao once dealt with the three major forces of the Federation, the Empire and the Holy Alliance, and his wife was the Speaker of the Federation.
He knew very well that being in charge of a civilization was not as simple as playing a game called "Civilization".
The emotions and interests of all parties are criss-crossed and difficult to sort out.
If you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, Moonwatchers think that “continuously delivering resources” is a very light sentence, but in the outside world it may cause uproar and even fights between temples and rivers and lakes, forcing millions of people to tighten their belts and even Starving to death.
In particular, Li Yao knew that the Great Expedition across the Black Wall and into the multiverse had consumed most of the resources and potential of Pangu Civilization.
It was considered a turning point in Pangu Civilization's transition from prosperity to decline.
In the following thousands of years, Pangu Civilization's resources There must be increasing scarcity, coupled with the rumors of "the flood is approaching and the end is coming" eroding social order, public resentment is boiling, and demons are everywhere, the highest authority's control over all aspects must be greatly reduced.
Under such circumstances, on the one hand, it is necessary to maintain social order and force the people to tighten their belts; on the other hand, they must continuously deliver a large amount of resources to the "Immortal Palace".
The highest authorities of Pangu Civilization must also be exhausted and have a splitting headache.
If Asgard can continue to produce research results, the highest authorities can still barely maintain such a "deal."
If Asgard can't produce valuable research results for a full hundred years, how will the highest authorities convince all the people to The waistband has already been tightened to the limit, how about tightening it further?
Experts and scholars from the Federation and the Empire have conducted certain investigations on the political system of Pangu Civilization.
For most of the time, Pangu Civilization did not have an authoritarian ruler and implemented a republican system in which all tribes negotiated.
Therefore, it was not No dictator can make the decision to supply resources to the Immortal Palace unconditionally, unprincipled, and unlimitedly.
Any supply of resources will definitely be subject to critical questioning and scrutiny from... institutions such as parliament.
On the other hand, there are many secret treasures in the Immortal Palace, which may contain the power to destroy the world.
No civilization with a sound system can allow such power to be controlled by a small group of people.
Even the Moon Watchers I also said that after thousands of years of development, Immortal Palace The scholars within and the tribesmen outside gradually grew apart, almost evolving into two civilizations.
Then, when the Immortal Palace could not produce valuable results for a whole hundred years, the tribesmen outside became suspicious of them and wanted to move into the Immortal Palace.
Palace, a comprehensive investigation, what's so strange about it?
