The Path Toward Heaven

The sunrise in the distance is like a small red ball, looking a little pitiful.

The star is a little far away, and the surface is a bit cold. If it weren't for the protective cover above, it would be more difficult for ordinary humans to live here.

Jing Jiu looked back and walked towards the city ahead, and then discovered the truth of the rolling mountains in the distance.

The sun rises a little bit higher, illuminating the cliffs thousands of meters high in the mountain range, and there is nothing in it that keeps flashing, just like the stars buried in the mountains-that is the crust In part, it turns out that he is still on the second basement platform, and the mountain is the real surface.

A lot of information emerged in his consciousness.

When the sea of ​​dark objects invades, the machines hidden in the side walls of the earth's crust will start to connect with each other to form a huge gravitational field.

The gravitational field and the transformed crust will provide the most powerful and sturdy protection for the underground world. Those buildings on the ground will be completely abandoned. If those residents have no time to withdraw to the ground, they will also be abandoned.

Decades ago, the Sea of ​​Dark Objects broke through the blockade of the Alliance Fleet and came to the Star Gate Base, directly destroying 90% of the surface structures, killing millions of people, and the underground world is without loss.

From a certain perspective, this is a very fair approach. The priestess family and the major government agencies living on the surface have the most sunshine and the best scenery, and they should also bear the greatest risk.

But with the passage of time, many things are changing, the priestess family still lives on the surface, and many government agencies have moved to the second level, which is not bad but is much safer, that is, Jing Jiu is walking now In this land, some institutions even want to move to the laboratory near the core location.

Star Gate University also moved to the second floor after the disaster decades ago. It is better known as the construction of the branch campus. In fact, most of the managers, faculty, staff and students are now in the branch campus. The main school on the ground is only Left behind are the cultivating trainees and mechs who have the responsibility of defending the soil.

The ground on the second floor is extremely vast, with more than ten hours of sufficient light every day, and there is no need to worry about safety. It can be said that it is the best place for this planet.

Jing Jiu walked towards that city in the morning light, and saw many independent buildings and small yards on both sides of the road. The small yards were planted with natural lawns. Looking at the neat artificial lawns of the New World College, they were countless expensive. Times.

The closer you are to the city, the more people you see. The middle-aged man with a big belly is running on the road in the morning, and he will stop shortly after running. Laughter kept on.

Chaoyang is still far above the mountains, blocked by a thick crust, most of the city is still in darkness, but self-illumination is extremely developed.

The buildings in the city are much taller than the New World College and underground blocks. You can see dozens or even hundreds of buildings everywhere. Compared with the space city where the elevator is connected to the ground, it is very unremarkable.

When ancient civilizations transformed the planet, the mantle was hollowed out, and countless working platforms were built in between. Those platforms are where most humans now live. Due to space constraints, the buildings cannot naturally be too high.

Jing Jiu walked on a quiet street, looking at the women who held the dog, the middle-aged man who swept his hand in the air to watch the news, his face covered by the hat did not have any emotional changes-it is indeed somewhat different from the underground block Different, but the difference is still small, and there is no essential difference from the city of Chaotian mainland.

The sun finally crossed the earth's crust and came to the top of the city, illuminating all the streets and windows, and the whole city slowly woke up.

Jing Jiu took the suspended train to the city center with his ring. Looking at the slightly undulating avenue and the private houses hidden in the woods, he decided where to go first.

...

...

The Gabriel Opera House is the largest and most famous opera house on the planet of Star Gate. There are many operas performed every day. In the morning, well-dressed city residents gather here and pass through the passage below the pool to the Opera House Inside the fish.

Jing Jiu followed the crowd to the ticket counter and stretched out his bracelet to the sensor. All he heard was a beep. A man in a formal dress came over and said respectfully, "Hello, please come here."

There are many audiences for this opera today, and there are only a few VIP tickets left, which he naturally chose.

When traveling with Zhao Layue, he understood the importance of money and the truth that expensive ones are better than cheap ones.

The VIP seat is really different. He is leaning on a soft but supportive imitation leather seat. He looks at the actor who is singing and singing passionately on the stage. a bit.

This opera is based on a knight novel, and the story itself is the common routine-family love, parting love-but it is said that this knight novel is the existence of the priestess re-excavated from ancient civilization , So naturally there are a lot of sacred feelings in this world, obviously very interesting lines and plots, the audience did not laugh loudly, hands folded, with a sense of piety on the face.

The acoustic design of the opera house is perfect, much better than the TV sound of Zhong Lizi's family. He only heard three things that could be improved.

...

...

After listening to the opera for ten minutes, he felt that he had collected enough knowledge and experience, so he left the Gabe Opera House and walked back from the passage under the pool to the quieter side of the street.

Across the street is the Star Gate Museum and several other buildings with a sense of design.

If you want to experience a civilization, a museum is of course the best choice. Although he has already seen the unearthed cultural relics on the Internet, he sees it differently.

The smell of oil sludge on those machine guns, the smell of gasoline in those old cars, the smell of tobacco left on those paper books ... he couldn't smell it but could feel it.

Of course he came here for a more important purpose.

Entering the museum, he walked five times faster than ordinary visitors, and quickly walked through several modern and modern exhibition halls, including Star Chain, but did not miss any details of any exhibits.It didn't take long for him to come to the hall that was the largest and the most empty.

This hall is full of exhibits of ancient civilizations ... of course, they are all imitated, more precisely, imagined.

The remains of ancient civilizations are all in the hands of priestess, not to mention museums, and there are not many records in the hidden net.Obviously, the humans of the Galaxy Alliance do not have any knowledge of the ancestors of ancient times, and their imagination is also quite lacking. Those exhibits are basically exaggerated transformations of contemporary technological levels.

Seeing this, Jing Jiu would naturally not stop. He walked to the end of the hall, opened a wooden door, and walked down the stairs.

...

...

The third floor of the museum looks like an ordinary storeroom, without any anti-theft measures, nor the thick alloy doors that are common in movies.

The light at the stairs was very dim and stretched out into the dark storeroom, just illuminating the figure of Jing Jiu.

He stood on the spot, brought up a map of the sea, and compared it with this storeroom, he quickly determined the location, and flew slightly over the figure.

It was a wooden debris with a height of about three meters, so it ran horizontally in the corner.

Jing Jiu landed on the highest level of the wooden frame and reached up against the wall to feel the details of the composition inside.

This is a very hard alloy wall. With his current strength, it is certainly no problem to break open, but it takes a little time and will alarm the monitoring system.

The monitoring system and control system of this hidden warehouse are separate, and there is no network connection.

He didn't think about it for a long time, with a snort, his fingertips had penetrated the wall.There was a loud noise, the monitoring system had fallen into a mud in a place where it could not be seen, and it would only record the picture according to his ideas. At the same time, the extremely complicated 36-axis lock code in the alloy wall was cracked and started to unlock.

As soon as the wall opened a small slit, he floated in, and then stopped the wall from opening.

Behind the alloy wall is a dry and empty space, with incandescent lights illuminating all corners, just like a hospital operating room.

There is also a metal door inside, surrounded by a more solid high-polymer composite wall. There is nothing else on the metal door. There is no iris, fingerprints, and identity authentication. There is only one keyhole.

Humans living in the age of advanced technology are very clear that this seemingly simple physical lock is the truly safe lock. There is no need to worry about any data intrusion, even the most powerful cloud ghost in the alliance can't open it.

Jing Jiu very much welcomed this recognition and pointed his finger at the keyhole.

Only a very soft voice sounded, like mercury pouring into a very complicated channel.

There was a dull sound in the heavy alloy door, and the lock was opened.

He pushed open the door and walked in. He saw a cube about ten meters high.

The cube is made of transparent material, like a large square glass jar, you can clearly see the things inside.The glass box was filled with countless mud, and there was an old and worn armor in the mud. The surface was mottled. There was no patent leather, and no color was seen before.

Obviously, the ancient mech was found in the mud when it was discovered. The Star Gate Museum or the government worried that it would not be preserved well, so it was transported here with the surrounding mud and then sealed.

-This should be the remains of that ancient civilization.

Jing Jiu thought so, and walked to the huge glass box.

Compared with the glass box, his figure is particularly small.

In the empty warehouse, this contrast is more obvious.

He looked at the ancient mech half-buried in the mud and was silent for a long time.

The ancient mech also looked at him so silently.
