Chapter 192: The tentacle setting is considered a benefit before the end of the book (two consecutiv
The crazy voice was filled with a hint of confusion.
"My discovery is that this place has been abandoned for at least tens of thousands of years, and there is no sign of life."
Wang Ye suddenly thought of the wiped text traces on the square stele: "Then the question is, who was the sacred person who destroyed the square stele not long ago?"
"I can only be sure of one thing. Before us, no one passed through that door."
Wang Ye smiled and said, "At least the virgins in the front door are left for us? Then there are three possibilities. First, the creatures here are not completely extinct. At least one or two survivors, based on this and that considerations, they modified the monument before we came. Second, there is a triggering mechanism on the monument. Once certain conditions are met, the news that is not suitable for public disclosure will be erased. For example, the descendants of later generations are relatively incompetent and unable to bear the truth, or the descendants of later generations bring people outside the royal family to the scene, so some top secret news needs to be concealed. Third, there are more than one entrance in this space, and a tomb robber dug holes from other places, and we came here first."
In order to confirm these three conjectures and speed up the exploration of this magical space, Wang Ye directly deployed his ship and released more than 50,000 unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and 50 million nano-detection stations one after another, and quickly distributed them within a radius of thousands of kilometers to find the remains of abandoned civilizations and possible signs of life.
Half a day later, the reconnaissance aircraft and observation stations carried the collected samples and data one after another, and the conclusion was quite surprising.
"It's simpler than I thought. Generally speaking, this kind of exploration dungeon with a relatively low progress will be challenging. You don't give you a clue but you have to deduce a complete set of conclusions. However, looking at our first spoil, it's actually a family photo!"
In an underground shelter-like building, the drone discovered a painting of landscapes, buildings and figures.
Judging from the material of paper, the paint for paintings - for thousands of years to be corrupted - and superb techniques, this civilization has developed to a very high level, at least no less than that of humans during the parent star period... and the painting should be a family of three, two larger humanoid creatures, one smaller, and look like a juvenile body. They have a very high similarity to humans. In addition to the four pairs of compound eyes, the perceptual tentacles on the chest and the hollows on the abdomen, the basic outline is quite similar to that of humans...
"No, of course this is not a human. It looks a bit like the Kakasha civilization that the empire once conquered." Yan Luo, who has a family background, quickly identified the origin of these strange creatures. "It should have been genetically modified, but the template must be Kakasha people. They are a very powerful type of carbon-based life, with highly developed intelligence and perception capabilities. Moreover, because the genes tend to be unstable, the environmental adaptability is very strong, and there are often admirable evolutionary phenomena. Before being conquered by the empire, they even evolved organs that directly utilized stellar energy, and were the hollow in the abdomen... Fortunately, this civilization was born too late and was conquered by the empire before they came to prosper. Otherwise, I don't think the empire has any advantages in the development speed of such a civilization."
Wang Ye touched his chin: "So, what did your ancestors do to throw this Kakasha civilization into their own top secret treasure house? Do they treat it as a special aquarium?"
"I don't know either……"
While speaking, a reconnaissance plane returned. It found several food products from a warehouse or shopping mall building. Judging from the ingredients of the food, at least this civilization has very high efficiency in utilizing matter and energy, and its appetite is quite large.
Wang Ye made a simple analysis using the energy analysis equipment he carried with him. A single serving of food contains at least a huge amount of energy that can allow 100 adult humans to move for one day, which is quite amazing.
"Well, it's indeed the Kakasha civilization. After they evolved the energy hole in their abdomen, their demand for energy became particularly large. As long as they could meet their energy needs, individual strength would evolve leap forward. However, at that time, their technology was limited and they could not find such a huge energy source. The Empire also used this point at that time to conquer this civilization with both soft and hard work. Otherwise, the Kakasha people would be very tough and would not be so easy to surrender."
Wang Ye nodded and began to accept more reconnaissance planes and observation stations that returned.
Within a radius of 2,000 kilometers, more than one hundred cities were found, the largest of which had surpassed the capital of China, Tianjing, and the level of civilization was quite amazing. And more clues were gradually discovered from these ruins.
For example, this Kakasha civilization quickly perished in a very short time. The civilization itself showed no sign of decline. It suddenly became extinct and everything turned into ruins of the site. And the reason for the demise was obviously natural disasters rather than man-made disasters, because there was no trace of war at all.
"So, what natural disaster caused such a huge civilization to perish in an instant? Pompeii? Atlanta continent sinks?"
Yan Luo questioned: "I'm afraid it's wrong. The natural environment of this imaginary space is very ideal. Look at the ruins around you. Even if they have been abandoned for ten thousand years, they have not been buried in sand and stone. There are still many roads that are abandoned but still straight. This shows that there has been no violent crust changes here after ten thousand years..."
"That's Resident Evil? But strangely, I don't seem to see any corpse."
"When Karsha people die, they will have spontaneous combustion, burning everything about themselves, not even dust left, so of course you can't see the corpse."
"What a pity, otherwise, at least through the autopsy, we can study the reasons for the demise of their civilization."
Wang Ye and Yan Luo were discussing it in a daze, and suddenly spoke wildly and asked a question.
"Have you discovered that there are no elderly people in this world?"
Wang Ye was stunned for a moment: "What do you say?"
Yan Luo suddenly realized: "Yes, it's true that there is no elderly Kakasha people in this world!" Then he explained to Wang Ye, "That's right, the normal life span of Kakasha people is about 100 years of human time, of which the childhood is very short, only 2 years, and the adolescence is about 3 years, and they enter adulthood from the age of 5. At this time, they will give birth to the fourth pair of compound eyes and open energy holes in their abdomen. After the age of 50, they will open aging, and the energy holes gradually close, but the perceptual tentacles will become more and more... In short, in our opinion, the age of Kakasha people is still easy to judge. But in the information you just got back, we can't even find an elderly Kakasha people!"
"...What does this mean? For example, you said that the Kakasha people here have been genetically modified. Perhaps your great royal ancestors have improved their genes and allowed them to age forever like Saiyans. Or perhaps they have reproduced a special culture on this land, such as advocating survival of the fittest. All individuals who enter old age and cannot contribute to society will be moved to the barren mountain and starved to death."
"Although it is possible, it should not be this explanation." Yan Luo opposed seriously, "Looking at the album here, it should be a diary of a Kakasha people. From birth to death... Although the judgment I dare not say is absolutely accurate, it can be seen that not long after entering adulthood, even the energy hole was not closed, the owner of the album happily welcomed his death."
"Maybe it's a terminal illness?"
"You can find more picture albums to confirm... Unfortunately, I can't decipher the text here in a short period of time, otherwise the truth will be drawn soon." Yan Luo looked a little unwilling, "I always feel that the truth seems to be very close, but it's still a little bit short."
Wang Ye frowned and fell into deep thought, but what he was thinking about was another thing.
A civilization without elderly people, a civilization that suddenly fell into extinction due to natural disasters... In addition, coupled with the blood-damaging debuffs everywhere in this space, don’t you think that all of this can actually be connected with a simple reason?
Wang Ye is actually like Yan Luo, and he feels that the truth is close to him. As long as he takes another step forward, he can hold it in his hand.
However, just as he was about to express the guess that had formed in his heart, he suddenly received a warning from afar.
"Damn, someone appeared on the square monument!"
Before, when the group left the square monument and went deep into this space to explore the ruins, Wang Ye subconsciously kept a mind and placed an alarm trap, a stationary trap and more than 200 paralyzed landmines near the square monument.
It may not be able to play any role, but if there is such a one-ten thousand chance, when they leave, Wang Ye will definitely discover someone who wants to approach quietly.
Now it seems that this one in ten thousand probability has come true.
Wang Ye returned to the starting point as fast as the speed of light. In an instant, he returned to the square monument and saw two unexpected faces.
"... Although I have considered it many times, if there is such a one-in-one possibility, who will be the triggered person... For example, Kakasha observers who have been sleeping in this space for ten thousand years, such as some of the Dawn Royal Family who have been hiding here and successfully avoiding the catastrophe, and for example, the new life bred by the imaginary space in ten thousand years."
But no matter what... these two people are...
"General Li Fengyou, long time no see, and the one next to him...uh, Zhang Qing?"
Wang Ye said the names of the two people hesitantly, then lowered his face and asked sternly: "Okay, I don't have time to waste time with fake guys like you. After the greetings, who are you!?"
