Chapter 1356 Does Not Meet the Cross-Border Conditions
A small mechanical landing craft was released from the Winter, crossed the calm and clear sea like a mirror, and docked steadily at the foot of the "giant tower" that seemed to penetrate the planet's atmosphere. Kashan explored the steel island for half a day Della came to meet him, and after securing the landing craft, Byron and Azalena led a team of loyal Marines onto the land that had stood on this planet for 1.8 million years. of ancient ruins.
The gentle and weak sea breeze blows from afar, bringing extra fresh air. The giant sun has deviated from the high point in the sky, and the slanted sunlight is no longer as hot and deadly as it was at noon. The golden-red brilliant light shines on the huge tower in front of you , let it cast a shadow that can be described as spectacular on the distant sea, and on the edge of the steel island, Byron saw the mineral deposits accumulated over the long years, algae silt and many other things that belonged to the sea. traces of vitality.
He raised his head and looked hard at the top of the tower—of course, just like the previous observation results from various angles, he couldn't see where the top of the tower was at all, he could only see a magnificent silver-gray giant. The column goes straight into the sky in the setting sun, and gradually becomes a slender black line at the end of the field of vision, and its end disappears at the end of the sky - like a bridge hanging from the sky.
"How did this thing stand here?" A marine soldier couldn't help muttering, the voice under the mask sounded a bit dull, "Is it really not going to fall?"
"Who knows? The thing left by the voyager..." Another marine soldier muttered, "They can also build a spaceship to patrol the kingdom of God. It is said that that thing is better than the Dawn of the World. It's still a few laps..."
Byron heard the surprised conversation of the soldiers behind him, but he ignored it, and let Cassandra lead the way. Soon, they passed through the proven safe area and arrived at In front of the open square at the bottom of the tower.
"I suspect this is the entrance to the tower - I found a gate structure nearby, and there seems to be a place for vehicles and personnel to gather, but we haven't had time to continue exploring," Cassandra said. The surrounding water vapor was a little thinner than before, which made her look like she was out of danger of becoming a dried salted fish, "Also, while waiting for you to come over, my sisters and I found more' around the square." "Traces of latecomers" should be left by the original elves who fled here. The traces left by the elves are not as immortal as the creations of the sailors for millions of years. Many things have been mottled and weathered. It looks like it."
Byron nodded with a serious expression, and his eyes fell on the metal plate engraved with ancient elf characters on the edge of the square. Although he couldn't understand a single word, he still kept the words "General" in front of the marines. The glorious image of a well-informed, well-informed general, and a steady general": "It is very reasonable to put a message near the entrance to warn latecomers...."
Of course Azalena knew that this guy who knew nothing about the ancient Elvish language was trying to support the facade, but she was not interested in tearing down the stage, but went up to read the words on the metal plate seriously, and this time After a close look, she found a detail that she hadn't seen on the long-range image before.
"The material of this metal plate... is different from the surrounding things, but it is not the copper-based mithril alloy commonly used by elves in this era..."
"Perhaps it was brought out by the elves from their hometown," Byron said, touching his chin. "The original elves possessed much more advanced technology than the current Silver Empire, and they brought the Temple of Stars to Loren Continent." Ancestry', this kind of alloy must have a similar origin - after the split and degeneration, they lost a lot of technology, and suffered severe group memory cleansing, thinking that there is no way to smelt this kind of advanced alloy brought out from their hometown. material."
Speaking of this, he pondered for a while, observing the metal plate erected on the square like a monument: "Can this thing be cut off?"
"Can,
Cassandra nodded immediately and said, "The material of this 'island' itself is scary hard, but this metal plate is not difficult to deal with. It is cast in a groove on the ground, and your magicians use it to One of those engineer cutters should be able to dig it out of its base... are you going to get it off? "
As soon as she finished speaking, Azalena who was beside her also looked at Byron in surprise: "What do you want this thing for?"
"Dig—turn back and ask the Winter Winter to send another group of engineers down," Byron nodded, gesturing at the bottom of the "monument", "along the roots, try to dig as neatly as possible, I thought about this You can pack it up and send it to the Silver Empire, and make a beautiful box or something. According to His Majesty, this thing can at least earn +100 reputation..."
"Calm down! God TM cut out the monument erected by the ancestors and put it in a box for the victim to gain reputation," Azalena was taken aback, staring loudly at Byron's whimsical ideas Turning back, "The moment you step into the Silver Empire with this thing, it will be stolen and won, do you know that?"
No one in the Imperial Fleet dared to yell at the Admiral of the Navy, except for a female dragon who followed the Admiral of the Navy to hack people, drink and brag in the southern border decades ago. Humming and trembling, I finally realized that it seemed a little inappropriate for me to do this—not all "lost items" are suitable for digging up and returning to the person concerned. In addition to being the relic of the original elves, this "monument" in front of me is also important to Perhaps the greater significance of a civilization is as a "evidence and commemoration of its existence here". Perhaps in the near future, when the world is safe, the Silver Elves will come here just like today's Winter. This monument will be a crucial "coordinate point" in their history and culture...
This truth is actually very simple when you think about it, just like there is a peak in the world, no one has ever successfully climbed to the top, but one day a certain hunk accomplished this feat and hung his family emblem on it—— Even if this process was just an accident—then you turned your face and took off this historic logo and sent it to the family of future generations: "Excuse me, I picked up such a thing on the road, and your family lost it, right?" ?”
Byron thought about it for a while, and felt that he might give that person a jumping chop, the kind that was full of anger and pierced his armor.
"Forget it, tell His Majesty about this later, and see how he plans to negotiate with the Silver Empire," Byron scratched his messy hair, and turned his head to look at the towering curved metal barrier not far away (that In fact, it’s just a small piece of outer wall at the bottom of the tower), “… Next, let’s go in and see the situation.”
"Are you sure you want to go in?" Azalena frowned slightly and glanced at the gate that looked like an entrance in the distance, "I always feel that this thing is terribly evil..."
"I came here just to go in and have a look," Byron obviously had made up his mind, "We have lost our way so far, and it is entirely luck that we found this tower. The legacy of the sailor is of great significance to the empire, Your Majesty We are also very, very concerned about this aspect. We should at least bring back some valuable information—this is at least an explanation for the empire. Of course, we will not stay here for too long. The naga navigator and those who stayed on the Winter The Krakens are recalibrating their routes, and we will head back when they find the direction of the mainland, and we should be more cautious before entering that 'tower', so..."
As he said, he looked up at Ms. Cassandra, who was earnestly braiding her tail into a bow shape next to her: "Ms. Cassandra, it's better for you to go through the gate and have a look."
Cassandra put her tail down immediately, with a confident smile on her face: "Of course it's no problem, we'll just wait for this and this—sisters, let's go!"
The three sirens quickly left the team. Under the watchful eyes of Byron and others, they passed through the open square and the wide ramp leading to the end of the square. The alloy gates passing side by side stood at the end of the ramp, with the middle slightly open——the figures of Cassandra and the three disappeared through the gap in the gate.
After passing through the wide and outrageous gate, and passing through an equally wide but not long connecting passage, the scene inside the tower finally appeared before the eyes of the three Kraken explorers.
The lights were bright and spotless, and some kind of ancient purification device or barrier device seemed to block all the dust from the outside world. What appeared in front of Cassandra was a completely unimaginable 1.8 million-year-old landscape. Clean and bright rotunda.
Unlike the hall on the first floor of the tower in Tarrond, there are not a lot of equipment in operation here, and there is no central pipeline that is busy shuttling. The huge hall is almost completely empty, except for one that runs through The diameter of the silver-white metal tubes on the floor and roof seemed to be almost as large as the towers of the castle, and in the air around the metal tubes, there were several groups of holographic images floating on them, only a piece of interference noise appeared on them.
There was no danger, no ancient devices activated - and no walls suddenly glowed with light.
Cassandra took her two sisters around the entire hall, and finally confirmed that this place is quite safe - just like the "monument" on the square mentioned, the first floor of the hall is not dangerous of.
After confirming safety, Byron and others who were waiting outside finally walked into this ancient place.
"...No matter how many times you look at it, the things left by the voyagers are still so amazing," Byron couldn't help sighing as he looked around the place that was still clean and bright after millions of years, and looked almost brand new on the surface. "Did the original elves gather in this place to die..."
"We found no access to the upper floors—no stairs or gates," Cassandra said beside her. "Everything has been checked, except for the metal pipe in the middle of the hall... or the metal pillar. That thing obviously It's still running, I didn't dare to touch it, but my sister and I walked around it twice, but it didn't cause any alarm."
"It's good to be cautious," Byron said, nodding his head, and walked a few steps towards the silver-white metal pipe in the center of the hall. "It's fine to just approach, right..."
Before he finished speaking, a thrilling "beep" sound suddenly came from all directions. Accompanied by this short sound with obvious warning meaning, a mechanically synthesized voice directly echoed in the hearts of everyone in the hall. When it rang, the voice sounded as if the message was directly injected into everyone's mind: "Warning, the condition of crossing the border is not met, visitor, please step back."
Byron was stunned for a moment, a cold sweat broke out all over his body in an instant, and he quickly retreated the next second.
The siren did not continue to sound, nor did the synthesized voice in his mind continue to come.
"Did you hear the alarm just now? Or was it just me?" Byron looked at Cassandra in astonishment, "Didn't you say that you will be fine after getting close?"
"We heard it—but our sisters were fine when they approached!" Cassandra also widened her eyes in surprise, and then, as if to verify, she immediately wagged her tail and walked several steps towards the center of the hall, After confirming that the system here did not respond, he returned, "Look, it's all right."
Azalena frowned and looked at the scene in front of her, and said suddenly: "I'll try it too."
As she said that, without waiting for Byron to speak, she stepped towards the place where the latter was standing just now, but under the vigilant and cautious gaze of many surrounding eyes, nothing happened.
The warning did not sound.
"...Am I being targeted?" Byron frowned, and looked back at the marines he brought, "Others come over and try—but don't go too far forward, and immediately retreat after being warned, no Warning also don't stand too long in front."
"...Shouldn't we be doing the same thing as the original elves back then?" Cassandra on the side said to Azalena worriedly.
"I don't think so," Azalena whispered while watching a marine soldier walking forward, "judging from the message on that monument, the original elves were still arrogantly trying to Problems can only be caused by cracking the system here and forcibly breaking into the upper restricted area, we just need to be careful not to go against this warning..."
"Warning, the cross-border conditions are not met, visitor, please step back."
The voice that sounded in everyone's mind interrupted the conversation between Cassandra and Azarena, and the marine soldier who stepped forward boldly stepped back quickly.
The hall fell silent, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. After a brief exchange of glances, a siren brought by Cassandra finally couldn't help breaking the silence: "What's going on?"
"...It seems that this is the 'authentication mechanism' mentioned by the original elves in the message," Byron frowned tightly. Although he is usually a careless person, his judgment ability is still online at this time. The elves seem to be completely blocked by this authentication mechanism, and most of us can't pass the 'screening conditions' of this thing, but strangely..."
His eyes fell on Cassandra, Azarena and others.
"Why didn't you trigger the warning?"
Three sea monsters and a giant dragon looked at each other with blank faces.
Byron frowned, pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at the marines he had brought.
"Everyone, step forward and test it!"
The test didn't take long, and it took less than ten minutes for dozens of marines to add up. During these ten minutes, the warning sound of "does not meet the cross-border conditions" was almost uninterrupted.
Except for Azarena and the three sirens, everyone here was warned by the Voyager system when they tried to approach the metal column in the center of the hall!
