The person standing in front of Li Xiao was Su Yichen, and he said a long time after he appeared. Ike's Pioneer left the solar system and continued his long interstellar voyage. When the Pioneer started the jump flight, Su Yichen felt a dazzling light flashing in front of him, and then he returned to the extremely quiet and dark state.
I don’t know how long it took, but it was like having a long dream. Su Yichen finally opened his eyes slowly. When he regained his consciousness again, he was very happy to find that consciousness had finally returned to his body. At this moment, he was actually lying in a completely transparent container. The surrounding scenes were strange and somewhat familiar.
The contrast between thinking and body refusion made Su Yichen gradually get used to it after sitting up from the container. Then he looked around in dismay, and then recalled from the depths of his memory that this was the laboratory set up by Ike at the base. Most of the equipment in the laboratory had been emptied by Ike, leaving only a few things, including the container that loaded himself.
This container was one of the equipment used by Ike to transform the primitive ape man. From the outside, it looked like a transparent coffin. Although Su Yichen experienced a small part of Ike's long voyage when his mind was separated from his body, he also witnessed the entire process of Ike's establishment of a base on earth and the transformation of the primitive ape man on earth. But there is a problem that makes Su Yichen puzzled, that is, why he appeared in this container for no reason, and there was also a strange situation in which his thinking spanned millions of years of time and space, thus experiencing that scene.
After carefully recalling all the processes that thoughts go away from the body, Su Yichen still did not find any answer.
However, except for this question, the rest of the memories are still there. If Su Yichen remembers correctly, the door outside the laboratory was the gate at the end of the passage that he and Wan Changchun and Hu Zhijun discovered, and it was also the place where Lin Jia was accidentally buried.
According to Ike's setting of the entire base, the laboratory certainly has comprehensive defense measures. The laser weapon outside the gate is part of the defense measures, which is specially set up to avoid the transformation of the original ape man who accidentally entered or tried to escape. However, these defense measures are no longer anything to Su Yichen. Naturally, he found the switch of the system to turn off the defense weapons inside the laboratory. This system is actually very familiar with Su Yichen because it is the triangle mark that Su Yichen once saw on the pyramid and on the laboratory gate.
The triangle mark is actually the unique logo of the Rand civilization, and the strange star map shown inside the logo is the galaxy where the home star of the Rand civilization is located. However, unlike the door outside the laboratory, the logo on the door is locked and can only be opened unless authorized by Ike or closed from the inside. If Rangran tries to contact, then the defense measures will be activated immediately.
Su Yichen didn't know how long he had been in this place. He was worried about the situation of Wan Changchun and Hu Zhijun outside. After closing the defense system, he immediately opened the laboratory door from inside. But to his disappointment, when he ran out of the laboratory in a hurry, he did not find Wan Changchun and Hu Zhijun in the passage outside. Even the entire passage was quiet, as if it was like what they had passed before, without any trace of life.
Hurrying to find the whereabouts of Wan Changchun and Hu Zhijun, Su Yichen searched along the passage, but there was still no figure of them. He even searched for "Eden". Of course, he would not rely on his feet to search like Lin Jia, because there was an observation device inside the laboratory. Relying on this device, Su Yichen could conduct detailed searches on "Eden", that is, the entire ecosystem.
But the result was disappointing. In addition to the exit of the passage to the Garden of Eden, which is the lake and grassland, Su Yichen discovered the tomb set up by Wan Changchun and Hu Zhijun for Lin Jia. This somewhat simple tomb was engraved with a hand-cut thick wooden board in front of the tomb. Lin Jia's name and his life.
The grave is not a new pile. The flowers and plants around it are growing lushly. It seems that a long time has passed, and the handwriting on the tombstone has become a little blurred. Su Yichen stood in front of the grave blankly, feeling confused and a little panicked. He vaguely felt that things were somewhat different from what he imagined, especially when he discovered this grave, his panic became much more intense.
Hurrying back to the laboratory, Su Yichen used the equipment left by Ike to try to find the answer, but unfortunately he found nothing. On the contrary, when he was using a key equipment, the base's left-behind system suddenly issued a harsh warning. For safety reasons, Su Yichen had to give up the work at his hands.
"Maybe, Teacher Wan and Lao Hu have found the exit to leave here." Su Yichen, who had nothing to find, could only think like this. After experiencing the process of Ike's establishment of the base, he certainly knew how to leave the base, but it was not that easy to leave. Because Ike's complete closure of the base before leaving, most of the functions of the entire base have been blocked. The base only maintains the basic operation in a semi-dormant state. Without Ike's direct instructions, Su Yichen's ability could not activate these functions at all. Then, in addition to being unable to leave normally through the base function, there is only the only way, that is, to leave through the opportunity of replenishing energy to the outside world.
The energy settings of the base are very complex. The entire base is not driven by familiar nuclear energy, because nuclear energy has decay and fission instability. Although it is simple, it is not suitable for long-term operation of such a base. Therefore, in addition to setting up a small backup core for antimatter energy in the core part of the base, the entire base is driven more by the combination of magnetic force and plasma. This is based on the magnetic field characteristics of the earth and the rich ionosphere in the atmosphere, plus the geomagnetic induction between the earth and the sun.
Tesla, a tech genius in the 20th century, once proposed a vision to use the earth's ionosphere to create magnetic generators to supply the entire world with a steady stream of electricity. In order to achieve this goal, Tesla even invested a lot of money to conduct research on this, but the final result led to his bankruptcy and failed to succeed.
From a theoretical basis, Ike's energy setting is somewhat similar to Tesla's "fantasy", but its comprehensiveness and practicality are incomparable to Tesla. According to the current development of human science and technology, perhaps in a few hundred years, it is possible to achieve a small part of Ike's entire energy setting until the technological breakthrough reaches a certain stage.
Due to Ike's special energy settings, the base will regularly replenish energy through the outside world, which is also the source of Su Yichen and others who will find strange buildings in the desert. The so-called strange buildings are just a way to supplement energy from a huge base. To put it simply, when people listen to the radio or watch TV and find that the signal is bad, they will pull out the radio or TV antennas, and then swing left and right to make it better receive wireless signals. And that strange building, that so-called tower, is a device similar to "antenna", of course, it is impossible for only one such device, just like the strange ancient well that Lin Jia encountered, and it is also one of the external equipments of the base that felt the geomagnetism.
The world has changed. Over the years, the plains have long become plateaus and basins. The distant highlands have also formed the world's highest mountain range under the movement of the earth's crust. As for the original large inland sea, it has gradually become the grasslands and deserts today. The base hidden deep on the seabed was finally buried deep in the desert.
But no matter what, the base left by Ike still exists, and it will continue to operate. Leaving this through the opportunity of energy replenishment is also a "backdoor" when the base is manufactured. Perhaps it is because Ike is worried about the failure of the system when returning due to the long interstellar travel. But in any case, Su Yichen has the only way to leave here.
The time interval between the base for energy replenishment is very long, and Su Yichen cannot calculate the exact time. However, according to the display of the remaining equipment in the laboratory, it is estimated that the next time the energy replenishment should be the nearest. The place where you left is not unfamiliar with Su Yichen, which is the square of the pyramid. As long as the energy replenishment starts, Su Yichen can open the channel to the outside world through the system switch on the other side of the pyramid, and be transmitted out.
In the following time, Su Yichen continued to try to find the whereabouts of Wan Changchun and Hu Zhijun in the base, but the result still made him frustrated and he still didn't find anything. It seems that maybe they really left the base by themselves, and Su Yichen could only think about the better. Before leaving in the end, Su Yichen wanted to search for some things that could be taken away in the base, but it also disappointed him. Ike didn't have many things left, and he could not take away these devices due to the system settings. He was empty-handed and finally he could only go to "Eden" to pick an "apple" as a souvenir.
The moment of energy replenishment finally came. Su Yichen stood in front of the pyramid in the square, looking around in a complicated mood, and finally activated the teleportation program in front of him. When a ray of light shrouded from above the pyramid, Su Yichen, who was standing at the teleportation point, felt his body lighter and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
