Chapter 1055 Shocking Picture

In addition to recalling Akima and Rosser, he also wrote down follow-up arrangements.

To achieve safe uranium mining is a time-consuming and labor-intensive matter. Not only does it need to formulate detailed operating procedures and set up monitoring nodes, but it also requires workers to have a certain understanding of the work they are doing and to follow the rules meticulously. .

Faced with the imminent threat of war, he naturally did not intend to act as usual.

The North Slope Mine is a good example.

Purchase the death row prisoners directly from Duke Quinn, and then stuff them all into the ruins without pay or holidays, and there is no need to prepare protective measures for them. As long as they promised to serve ten years before being released, he believed that those people would make the right choice between the gallows and a chance at life.

And the lords everywhere are probably happy to exchange the lives of these scum for an extra income.

As a result, the one hundred or so soldiers of the exploration team are only responsible for supervision and vigilance, and the requirements for protection are greatly reduced.

Sean is undoubtedly the most suitable manager.

Finally, at the end of the secret letter, Roland specifically asked his guards to find out the whereabouts of the "treasures" that people brought out of the ruins a hundred years ago.

After all, several doubts in the rumors really concerned him.

This ethnic group that has not been recorded in history seems to have an inexplicable worship of radioactive elements. They use ore to burn bricks to build sacrificial temples, use it to torture enemies, and even swallow the ore—— Those remains that were filled with green fluorescence in Akima's eyes were proof. Although it is unclear whether their demise is directly related to this kind of worship, calling them the radioactive family should be a very appropriate name.

Of course, the world is so big that the emergence of any kind of civilization is not unusual. What is really strange is that no matter whether you go deep into the mining area or use the ore to make bricks, it is impossible to cause the effect of "flesh and blood ulceration". Even if you live in a mine and are exposed to internal and external exposure to various types of decay radiation for a long time, the result will only be a sharp increase in the chance of cancer. You could live to be eighty years old, but in the end you will only live to sixty-six.

After all, the efficiency of releasing nuclides through natural decay is too low.

The unlucky ones who died tragically in the rumors did not seem to have died of cancer or complications from deformity, but rather to have been affected by strong radiation.

To meet the latter condition, it can only be achieved by making high-purity nuclear material reach criticality and generating a large amount of neutron flux and hard gamma rays in an instant. However, this situation is not like the level that the radioactive family can achieve.

Roland did not rule out that the rumors themselves distorted the facts, but more than one person should have known about the tragic situation of the villagers at that time. If true, the problem probably lies in those "treasures".

Only in this way can the ruins take on the role of an execution altar - otherwise each inmate could live for more than ten years before dying. If this altar is not built into a high-rise apartment building, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate so many people.

Unfortunately, hundreds of years have passed far beyond Axia's lookback period. Now it is almost impossible to fully understand what happened at that time, so Sean can only try his best.

He had a vague feeling that the truth behind the rumors might not be that simple.

…

After Mi Tang took away the letter, Roland walked to the desk and carefully looked at the unfolded mural rubbings.

Although the distorted ink portrait is full of weird and absurd things, he can still identify the general subject and object - the subject is mostly located in the center of the painting, with a large and delicate outline, representing the person in charge of the ruins; the object is much smaller. , filling every corner, and one can feel pain and fear from their ferocious expressions.

This is probably a common characteristic of all intelligent life - always regard yourself as the protagonist in historical records.

As Sean said, neither the subject nor the object has anything to do with known alien races such as devils, evil beasts, and underwater civilizations. Their shapes are really weird, and some are like matchsticks, and their limbs cannot be distinguished. with head and tail; and some are like wriggling protozoa, with all the organs hidden in the brain.

The content on the murals is not all related to executions. Several rubbings describe scenes of the subject and the object fighting. They seem to be able to fly by the wind by inflating their bodies, taking advantage of high-altitude maneuvers to land behind the enemy on a large scale, achieving Attack from both sides. The towering defense lines had no effect, the city was reduced to a sea of ​​flames, and the subjects were killed until they were defeated.

As long as we can clearly distinguish the respective positions of the characters, we can generally understand the events described in these seemingly crazy records.

"Huh?" Roland's eyes suddenly stopped on a picture.

"What's wrong?" Nightingale noticed something strange about him.

"Do you feel that the scene in this rubbing seems to have been seen somewhere?" He walked to the scroll and squatted down. That was the last paragraph describing the war: countless matchsticks merged into one, as if they wanted to fight to the death. , but was still knocked to the ground by the subject. The blood flowed turbulently and gathered into a huge lake. The surviving enemies fled to the seaside and were all killed by the chasing subjects. Their corpses even built a hill in the sea.

"Hmm..." Nightingale looked at it for a long time, "Aside from using more ink, it seems to be no different from other drawings?"

Well, combat ability and art appreciation ability are indeed incompatible. Roland raised his forehead and said, "First help me get a map of the extreme south."

"Understood." The latter quickly complied and sent a thick stack of maps to him, and also handed him a piece of dried fish.

Roland bit the dried fish and kept moving his hands. After a while, he found a partial aerial view of the Endless Cape.

In order to determine the location of Daqing Port, he asked Lightning and Maisie to draw a detailed map of the place, so it always left an impression. When the two were put together, he suddenly felt goosebumps rising on his back, his body felt like an electric shock, and his fingertips felt numb.

The contour lines in the two pictures actually overlap!

Although there are some differences in details, the trend of the dividing line between the continental edge and the Whirlpool Sea is basically the same, and the similarity is over 80%!

Is this... a coincidence?

"Well, the place painted on this picture is the extreme south?" Nightingale also noticed something was wrong, "Isn't that where the sand people live?"

Roland did not answer, but quickly scanned the remaining scrolls.

When he saw the penultimate picture, the blood all over his body seemed to freeze.

I saw more than ten subjects gathered on a high platform, surrounding each other to form a large circle, and an irregular polyhedron floated in the circle, with countless weird tentacles dancing on the surface, like the hair of a snake demon.

Sean has never seen this scene with his own eyes, so naturally he has no idea what is shown in the painting.

But Roland knew.

It was clearly a "god's relic".
