Chapter 1358 Best Exploration Combination
Azalena was deeply shocked by the endless stars in the vast space. In the entire "observation cabin" that followed, her gaze almost never left the vast starry sky outside the high-strength transparent polymer pipe—— Even though this rushing scene made her feel almost trembling oppression when she faced the stars for the first time, even though she felt that she was about to "fall" out of this small orbital module and "fall into" the boundless In the darkness, she couldn't bring her eyes back.
The stars seem to have a magical power, attracting every intelligent creature who sees it to look into it.
After a while, something else suddenly entered Azalena's line of sight—it was a metal object floating in the distant space, shining like a shining gem under the starlight.
She saw a Voyager satellite that happened to be orbiting nearby, floating in the dark cosmic background, the metal shell still shining brightly, but some of the edge areas could be seen mottled by tiny meteorites The scar, the dragon seal witch who entered space for the first time and had never experienced the age of the voyager, didn't recognize what it was, but she still thought of "the voyager" for the first time, so her eyes suddenly widened.
"Ms. Cassandra!" She immediately turned her head to look at her temporary "traveling companion", "Look at that thing outside, it looks like... Ms. Cassandra? You... What's wrong?"
Azalena looked at the siren next to her in astonishment. It was the first time she saw such a complex expression on the face of this heartless Lotte race——Cassandra grabbed the nearby handrail, Staring fixedly at the shining satellite in space and some kind of more majestic space facility in the distance, but the focus of her eyes seems to fall on a place farther away, on a place that makes Ashalei In the depths of the stars that Na couldn't comprehend, the sea monster's tail slowly tensed and coiled, and then relaxed bit by bit. She finally spoke, making a low and whispering voice: "Ah...they are Still in the sky..."
"Are you okay?" Azalena was a little startled, "You look a little... have you seen these things?"
Cassandra seemed to have finally remembered that she had a "travel companion" by her side, and then she turned her head: "Sorry, I remembered something from the past... I lost my composure."
"Thing of the past?"
Cassandra twitched the corners of her mouth, showing a somewhat complicated smile: "You know, we sea monsters are not a race born on this planet—many, many years ago, we were forced to land due to an accident. here."
"I've heard of this..." Azalena thought for a while, then nodded lightly, "It was introduced in the "Encyclopedia of World Races" officially issued by Cecil, and I also heard about the local Dragon Clan in Tarrond. They mentioned it."
"I saw these things when I fell from space," Cassandra said softly, looking up at the starry sky outside the polymer tube, "That was the last time I looked at the sea of stars outside the atmosphere... really Unexpectedly, the second time I saw such a scene would be under such circumstances."
Azalena opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say for a while, and then, she realized an astonishing fact, and looked down at her feet: "Wait... We came from that tower... So, that tower standing on the sea... actually extends into space?! The Voyagers can even create such a thing!?"
"If I judge correctly,
This should be an orbital elevator," Cassandra laughed, and explained to the Dragon Seal Witch in front of her that although the sea monsters are now trapped on the surface of the planet, they are after all a race that once traveled the star sea. It is not difficult for them to imagine many things, "There should be two such track elevators, and the other one is also on the equator, which is the 'tower' that Gawain Cecil climbed up to. "
"Track...elevator?" Azalena repeated this unfamiliar and awkward phrase, "I have heard the word 'elevator' before, and I heard from Byron that Emperor Gawain liked to use this word to refer to large buildings The magic elevator inside, where will we be taken by this 'elevator'?"
"If my memory is not biased and my guess is not wrong...that should be something that shocks you more than the orbital elevator," Cassandra said thoughtfully, and then her eyes suddenly turned to Congregation Outside the pipeline, a slightly excited expression appeared on her face, "Ah, sure enough, I can see it from this angle—Azalena, look over there!"
Azarena looked in the direction that Cassandra's tail pointed in surprise. In the next second, her body and mind were filled with great shock and oppressive feeling——she saw an area covered in The arc-shaped "earth" above surrounds the planet with astonishing majesty, and the endless steel ring is covered with complex structures and huge cabins that she can't even name or guess. In the partially transparent structure of the ring, there are buildings shrouded in darkness and silence, and there are faint lights flickering and flowing between those buildings. She seemed to be looking at a mythical giant snake crawling around the planet. This giant snake was in a long sleep, and she herself was rushing towards the snake's belly at an astonishing speed.
Only then did she realize that the hazy and huge space structures she had seen in the distance were only part of this ring, and this ring... was the "top end" of the tall tower standing on the sea. ".
"How is this possible..." Under the huge impact, Azalena still maintained normal thinking ability, "Such a huge thing surrounds our planet, no matter how far away it is, it is impossible not to see it. ...but for thousands of years we have looked up at the sky..."
"Optical shading, everything is invisible, perhaps to prevent it from affecting the normal development process of intelligent races on the surface of the planet," Cassandra shook her head, "just like what we experienced when we entered that 'tower'" certification', everything left by the sailors has very strict 'safety measures'... They seem to care a lot about the 'normal development of civilization', I think, this may be almost a law engraved in their bones Law."
Azalena blinked, and she was about to say something again, but the synthesized voice came into her mind again: "The cabin is slowing down, it is approaching the terminal, the guidance process is activated... the core process group is missing , transfer to the default docking process..."
Accompanied by a series of broadcast sounds of unknown meaning, the two "visitors" felt their feet vibrate again, and the "elevator car" running rapidly in the transparent polymer pipe quickly slowed down. The next moment, a rapidly sinking metal structure Appearing outside the pipeline, blocking their view of the starry sky—they entered the interior of the Sky Station and were in the process of "docking".
Azarena clutched the handrail nervously, fearing that this too ancient alien equipment might malfunction, but in the end, everything ended smoothly, the elevator car stopped, and the transparent walls around the car also returned to that silvery color. It was made of white metal, and a few seconds later, a slight buzzing sound came from not far away, and an open "doorway" appeared on the silver-white metal wall as before.
Outside is a strange and open space, the dim lights and dusty space station corridors invite the two explorers to step into it.
"...Well, luckily I let the two sisters wait below," Cassandra exhaled and muttered as she walked out, "No matter how powerful the magic net terminal is, it is impossible to contact here ..."
"Can you still get in touch with the two sea-monsters who stayed below?" Azalena glanced at each other in astonishment, "You sea-monsters are still so far away to have a spiritual connection?"
"It's not a spiritual connection, it's a spiritual echo, a racial talent," Cassandra corrected seriously, "Our siren's spirit is 'unified' on a higher level, just like the elemental plane In a sense, the lower elements are the 'extended structure' of the elemental plane itself. On the same planet, all sea monsters can sense each other... Of course, the distance will still affect our perception effect, just Like here, I can't communicate directly with the sisters who stay on the surface, but at least we can sense each other's existence and confirm that we are safe."
"...This is really an enviable talent," Azalena couldn't help but said, "We Dragon Seal witches also have similar 'resonance' skills, but we can't sense each other across such a long distance .”
While muttering, she took steps to keep up with Cassandra's "foot" steps, and while maintaining a high level of vigilance, she really stepped into this ancient alien facility that had been closed to the outside world for 1.8 million years .
The first thing that caught her eyes was an extremely wide hall, which was so wide that it reminded her of the astonishingly large wharf in Beigang. An extremely dim light shrouded everything in her sight, allowing her to barely see those The large equipment in a silent state and the dark passageway on the edge of the hall, it seems that there are many corridors connecting this hall, but they are all shrouded in darkness.
Considering that this is the "terminus" of the orbital elevator, this "hall" should have been a busy transportation hub, but now that millions of years have passed, there is nothing but emptiness and silence left here.
"...It's completely different from the part on the surface," Azalena couldn't help but said, "It's still brightly lit below..."
"Maybe facilities located in space are more likely to be damaged and aged in harsh environments. The condition here is obviously not very good," Cassandra analyzed. "Theoretically, a place like this should have an automatic operation system." The welcome mechanism, especially the process that is open to 'indigenous races' in its design, but we all came up, and we didn't see anything activated... then it's probably broken."
"As long as the orbital elevator is not broken," Azalena couldn't help but glance back at the direction she came from, and saw the silver-white metal pillar standing in the center of the hall, and the cabin door for the crew to enter and exit was still open. It seems to be waiting for visitors to return at any time, "If this thing is broken, we really can't go back..."
"I'm fine. I can die back. I can be reborn in the sea on the surface of the planet at this distance. It will be difficult for you. Jump from this height to the atmosphere, let alone the vacuum and radiation area so far in the middle. The high temperature is deadly, and the dragon may die on the way." Cassandra heard what her companion said, and seriously analyzed the things that sounded quite crazy to others. Become a giant puffer fish, you drill into my stomach, we jump to the surface together, I fight for the magic turbulence layer before I die, you wait for me to die and then find a way to slow down by yourself - of course, there is a big premise for this, that is, we You have to find the airlock leading to the outside first, and that thing can be opened..."
The more Azalena listened, the more horrified she became, and she finally stared at the serious sea monster: "Is this the usual way of thinking of your sea monsters?"
"What's wrong?" Cassandra looked puzzled, "Does it sound unreasonable to you?"
"Reasonable and reasonable," Azaleina said with a look of complete confidence, "...You guys are more hardcore when it comes to death..."
She suddenly felt that compared with this group of sea monsters who wanted to die because they couldn't die, even the dragon-born bear children who jumped to the bottom of Longyue Cliff every day, were as gentle and harmless as those born before the age of three. kid……
"Most things here seem to have shut down," Cassandra didn't care what Azarena was thinking, she had already started to explore this big outrageous place by herself, and came to a In front of a device that looks like a control terminal, "Our arrival did not cause any reaction..."
"Which direction are you going to explore next?" Azalena followed and asked this siren partner who seemed unreliable, but was more or less an "advanced civilization member", "Do you want to find a corridor to get in? "
"...It's best not to run that far directly," Cassandra said seriously, "The scale of a space station in orbit is unimaginable. With the efficiency of the two of us, no matter how large the exploration range is for the entire space station. It doesn't make much sense, and you may get lost in the intricate and non-functional corridors. I suggest that we explore this hall first-the gravity is normal here, and the air is still circulating, which means that at least this area is stable. The biological system is still running and is relatively safe.”
Hearing the word "safety" from a siren who was still seriously analyzing the method of death just now is somewhat weird, but Cassandra has to admit that the other party's words make sense, although she herself does not understand space facilities and space flight However, after thinking about it a little bit, she also knows how dangerous it would be if some cabins in this huge "space station" were completely out of control-the energy pipeline leaked, the poisonous gas overflowed, the air circulation failed, or it was simply broken. In this place far away from the shelter of the planet, the mighty dragon is not much different from the weak rabbit.
At the same time, Cassandra had circled twice around the device that looked like a control terminal. After thinking about it, she backed away for a distance, and then poked her tail over. An extreme position poked carefully with the tip of its tail at what looked like an operation panel.
Azarena saw this scene—she didn't have time to conjure any thoughts in her mind.
The next second, she saw that the surface of the terminal that seemed to have been shut down for many years suddenly lit up.
Ms. Cassandra's penetrating voice came to her ears:
"Deep sea, this thing is glowing!!!!!!"
