Chapter 1535 Clues Appear One After Another

Basically all the sculptures are damaged - some are even fragmented to the point of being irreparable. Even the computing power of a data terminal cannot repair the missing parts of the statues and reliefs out of thin air.

Hao Ren could only restore the data terminals to their original appearance as much as possible.

The data terminal floats in the air, and 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, and the broken sculptures and incomplete reliefs are reorganized into images and placed in the Where they should have been, the vines and moss were removed by the screen filtering system, revealing the original appearance of the walls and columns. Only less than one-third of the scene could be restored. In the parts that could not be restored, a blue light screen projected are large swaths of dithering shadows representing "unknown data".

Hao Ren saw human sculptures: men, women, old and young, of various races. They were neatly arranged on both sides of the entrance to the hall, as if they were standing there specifically to display standard models of human beings.

Further forward is a "star map" about the positions of the planets. It is carved on a metal plate with a length of five meters and a width of five meters. The metal plate stands like a screen in front of the human sculpture, with the planets and stars marked on it. The relative position, and many things were marked with various symbols. After a simple translation by the data terminal, it was found that those symbols were all explaining the meaning of this star map.

"It looks like this is indeed a 'guest book'," Hao Ren rubbed his chin and muttered, "I guess there should be more than one building like this on this planet... Maybe they are built in the center of every large city. Such a 'museum'?"

Vivian shook her head: "We'll have to wait until we find more ruins to find out."

The group of four people finally stopped in front of a group of reliefs.

"That should be it." Lily pointed at the picture on the relief with great joy, her golden eyes shining brightly.

On the screen restored by the data terminal, Hao Ren saw a very familiar scene: huge tentacles growing from the depths of the earth. The tentacles shook the structure of the entire continent, setting off devastating floods and earthquakes. The cities built by humans were destroyed. In the face of the disaster, areas were destroyed in pieces, buildings collapsed, bridges collapsed, and countless magnificent buildings were destroyed.

After the continuous natural disasters, there is the arrival of the blood tide: the relief depicts this scene in a very vivid and vivid way. Large tracts of shadow cover the world of human existence. Various creatures twist and melt in front of the shadow, turning into chaos. People who see these pictures for the first time may be a little confused by the lines and clumps, but Hao Ren can tell at a glance that they are depicting the process of creatures being swallowed up and fused by the blood tide.

In the last few parts of the relief, Hao Ren saw the resistance process of the indigenous creatures on the planet - they seemed to have built huge steel fortresses and relied on completely isolating themselves from the external ecological environment to resist the attack of the eldest son. , but just like what 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. However, such counterattacks could only delay the disaster. : Because they live in the body of the World Destroyer, and the enemy is the entire world they live in. They are everywhere and there is no escape.

"Look here," Vivian pointed to the end of the relief. Because this part was severely damaged, the picture restored by the data terminal also appeared blurry, but there were still some things that could be seen in the blurry picture. In one of the On the picture, there is an obvious scene of a spacecraft taking off. "They seemed to have built a large spaceship and launched a large number of people and materials into space, but there was 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 screen projected by the data terminal. In the end, all he touched was a layer of rough corroded metal. : "Judging from these pictures, the indigenous civilization on this planet was indeed destroyed by the Firstborn. Until the last part of the picture, the Firstborn still had an overwhelming advantage... But I don't know what happened in the thousands of years after that. The planet has become what we see now. The ecological environment seems to have recovered. Although the eldest son is still active, he has not continued to destroy the ecosystem, and..."

"And there are also those 'survivors' who flew bombers and fought with tentacles," Nangong Wuyue patted the ground with his tail. "Something must have happened after the time of these reliefs, which changed the course 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."

During the subsequent exploration, they visited almost every corner of the building. Although they made some discoveries, they did not find any more valuable clues.

On the top floor of the building, they found some sealed chambers that were entirely wrapped in special alloys. After cutting open the shells of these chambers, Hao Ren found some ancient equipment that had been completely damaged and could no longer be repaired, as well as some After identification of human remains that may have been equipment operators, the data terminal confirmed that all operators committed suicide.

The secret rooms are completely sealed. Not only can they not be opened from the outside, but from a structural point of view, it is impossible for people inside to come out after the locking device is dropped. Therefore, these secret rooms are tombs from the beginning. Vivian guessed that the people left in these secret rooms should be the last batch of city guards. They control the city's last defense forces through various devices here. After all defense facilities are destroyed, they are here. He ended his life in a "safe house."

In the part of the building that had sunk underground, Nangong Wuyue found some ancient machine rooms and reactors that were half submerged in water by manipulating the water element. They should be the "brain" and "heart" of this ancient facility, because Due to being soaked in water and aged, the computer room had turned into a pile of scrap copper and iron that had completely lost its value. Hao Ren originally expected to find some information-storing chips and other things from those ancient machines, but in the end he found nothing.

As for the completely destroyed reactor... the data terminal could only determine that it was an extremely efficient fusion furnace, but the specific technical details could not be restored.

The exploration continued until nightfall that day.

After finishing the exploration of the square pyramid building, Hao Ren and his party also checked several other places in the city and found a lot of abandoned machines and weapon wreckage. Lily even found an exquisite ship model, Vivian I think it was a toy that children used to play with. From an archaeological point of view, their subsequent explorations were fruitful, but from the perspective of uncovering the historical truth, only what they saw in the previous "Sculpture Hall" is the most valuable part.

Since the existence of the eldest son was confirmed, the natural environment in the wild was no longer safe. Hao Ren gave up his plan to spend the night between the ruins and the forest. After establishing a coordinate connection between the data terminal and Nolan, the group teleported back directly through space. Arrived on the spaceship.

The people on the spacecraft have been waiting in boredom all day. Due to the damage to the central host, Nolan had to transfer all the computing power to repair the system, so the people left behind on the spacecraft didn't even have to watch a movie. This is boring. It shocked everyone: especially the lively Elizabeth. The little girl wandered around in the spacecraft with a screwdriver for a whole day when she was bored, which scared Nolan.

Probably this day was quite pleasant. As a cat, at least mentally, she has not yet developed many messy human hobbies. She spent half of the day napping. The other half of the time was spent working with a ball of yarn. To be honest, everyone else who stayed on the spaceship was envious of this stupid cat. It would be great if she had a mind like her. Each person could play with a ball of yarn until the end of time...

All in all, the return of Hao Ren and his entourage immediately ignited the spirits of Elizabeth and Nangong Sanba. Even Doudou jumped on Hao Ren and asked what the latter had discovered after being out for the whole day.

"I found a lot of things, but can you please let me take a breath first?" Hao Ren waved his hand and drove Elizabeth and Nangong Sanba aside. After sitting on his captain's chair, he looked around the bridge. I found that many things that were destroyed before have now "grown" as before, "Nolan, is the regeneration going well?"

"It went smoother than expected," Nolan's voice came from all around, "because there was no external interference, the ship's repair work can proceed at full speed."

"Is there any signal response from the discovery of indigenous civilizations on this planet again?"

"Except for the group of air units you encountered during the day, this ship did not detect any more signal responses."

"Hmm... Okay, there's no rush," Hao Ren waved his hand, "We found some messages 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 telling what they had discovered during their exploration trip. Except for Doudou and Gun, who were just making up the numbers, everyone was actively using their brains to think about what was behind the reliefs. meaning, as well as the information revealed by the several aircraft that appeared during the day.

Yzaks was the first to speak: "Those reliefs should be recorded by the last group of survivors on the planet. After the spacecraft took off, they retreated to these cities and stayed in these cities for the last time. Sculptures and reliefs. This would explain why the content of the reliefs ended abruptly after the escape ship took off: the people who left the reliefs had no idea what happened after that.”

"I think so too," Hao Ren nodded. "The spacecraft they launched should only be able to take away some people, maybe not even one-tenth of the total population - the remaining large number of people will stay on the planet. These stayers should have resisted for a while after the spacecraft took off, until the eldest son completely destroyed all defense lines. During this time, they had time to leave enough information for those who came after."

Nangong Sanba interjected: "But the city was not completely destroyed by the eldest son - although it is indeed in ruins now, it is obviously more damage caused by the passage of time. If it was caused by the eldest son, the entire city would be destroyed." The city should be destroyed more completely.”

"So I suspect that the destruction process of the eldest son has not reached the last step," Hao Ren expressed his conjecture. "After the death of human beings on the planet, the activities of the eldest son probably stopped - leaving only those who have relatively preserved Intact urban ruins and entire ecosystems.”

If this were not the case, what Hao Ren and his party would have seen after arriving here would have been an even more desolate world.

Vivian brought up another thing at this time: "Speaking of those aircraft seen during the day, what do you think?"

"A survivor," Lily didn't think much at this time, "what else could it be."

"'Survivors' is no problem, but the key is... where are they survivors?" Hao Ren tapped the armrest of his seat with his fingers. "Are they the descendants of the resistance organization who stayed on the surface of the planet, or... were they... back then?" The group of people launched into the sky?”
