Chapter 518 Moon Ruins
Whenever night falls and the silver moon hangs high, standing on the land of Horleta you will see a night sky that is completely different from the earth. Two full moons, one big and one small, hang in the sky, casting silvery light all over the sky. On the moon called the "main moon", the most eye-catching thing is always an irregular red spot.
That was the former site of the legendary lunar city - in ancient times, the Magic Empire used incredible technology to send humans into space. Mortals at that time even had the ability to build cities and factories on the moon. In those years, the moon was as prosperous as the earth, with vast fields, numerous magic towers, and large transfer stations or spacecraft landing platforms that transported passengers between the earth and the moon day and night.
However, when the world-destroying natural disaster struck, the moon and the earth suffered the same fate. The remaining ancient books of Horleta record the terrifying sights seen by stargazers on the surface at that time: a dozen small red dots suddenly appeared on the moon, and then these red dots expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The city outline on the surface was quickly engulfed in red like melted cheese. The entire moon turned blood red, which slowly faded away after a few days, leaving the last red spot as the Great Red Spot. People firmly believe that the Great Red Spot is the same thing as Beinz's Blood Lake.
But whether the red spots on the moon are another lake of blood remains to be seen.
After bidding farewell to Betsy, Hao Ren and the others did not choose to teleport directly back to the Allamanda Station. Instead, they released the Giant Turtle Platform in an uninhabited wilderness, and then set off for the planet's largest satellite, the Lord. moon.
The vast space is dark and vast, and the stars in the dream plane are as numerous and brilliant as the real world. Among those brilliant galaxies, there are countless small worlds that have given birth to life, waiting to be discovered. After broadening his mind, Hao Ren sailed in space and thought of many things that he had never thought about before. He looked at the twinkling stars and realized that it was almost impossible to find all the planets sown by the First Seed in such a vast universe. He had to find some kind of shortcut or rule - maybe this could make He restored the drifting route of the original seed in the universe tens of millions of years ago, and even deduced the location of the goddess of creation.
"It's so quiet," the data terminal stuck on the spacecraft console suddenly sighed, "It's so silent."
Vivian raised her head: "Why is it so quiet?"
"This universe," the data terminal activated the communicator panel, "look at these channels, there is only our own signal. It is a wasteland of local communication pathways of all types and frequencies, electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, quantum communication, subspace interference ...The entire channel is silent. You can't feel it, but this unit feels like it's floating in a desert. The entire universe is silent, with only a few lingering oases - like Holleta, they don't even have the ability to turn the sound on. Conducted outside their star system."
"The quieter it is, the more disturbing it is. This means that all civilizations that have the ability to enter the space stage have probably become extinct. Otherwise, the entire universe would not be silent." Hao Ren shook his head and took out a one-foot-long silver-white metal object from his pocket. The tank contains the tissue samples taken out of the holy coffin. "Lily, send this to the laboratory. The servo host there is ready."
Lily ran out holding the jar, while Vivian looked up at Hao Ren: "Actually, you want to copy the original seed, right?"
"Um... did you see it?" Hao Ren scratched his hair, "I think I behaved very thoughtfully in front of Auburn."
"Come on, the arguments you made up together with the data terminal are fine to deceive the bumpkin, but they can't deceive me - it's not like I don't know what electromagnetic waves are. As long as the same frequency can be copied, who cares what the source of your signal is? Carbon-based or silicon-based," Vivian curled her lips, "You must have collected these samples to study the original seeds."
"But if we make it clear, I'm afraid Bishop Auburn won't be so willing to cooperate with us, let alone allow us to extract samples," Hao Ren chuckled, "The original seed is equivalent to a goddess. We don't know what their bottom line is in this regard. So it’s better to avoid it if you can.”
"But do you think the original seed is really that easy to create?" Vivian frowned, "I feel that it is not a 'living thing' in the conventional sense... Although it looks flesh and blood, if you directly copy it, God knows what will grow. What the hell. Be careful if you can’t control it, we’ll turn into a chemical crisis.”
Hao Ren nodded: "I know, the success rate of replication is probably no more than 10%... but it's better than no progress. At least we can know what the ingredients of the original seed are."
"By the way, have you figured out how to deal with the two remaining eldest sons?" Nangong Wuyue had not interrupted, and then suddenly asked, "It is said that the ones on the Giant Tree of Life are easier to deal with, but the key is the Sunset Volcano one, too It’s unstable.”
"There are a few preliminary plans, but we have to wait until we get back and find experts to make a total." Hao Ren deliberately let it slip, and at the same time, the voice from the data terminal suddenly interrupted: "Stop talking, let's stop talking. We’ve arrived at the station—ruins on the moon.”
The spacecraft has entered the near-lunar orbit of the main moon and is rapidly losing altitude. Hao Ren and the others quickly passed by from an altitude of two to three thousand meters above the moon's surface, and what they saw was an ancient ruins that were almost unrecognizable from their original state.
The entire moon surface is a lifeless gray-white color, and most places are flat and covered with a layer of fine debris. Relics of the former lunar kingdom can be seen everywhere. Traces of man-made artifacts can still be seen as a whole in those ruins. There are some gray remains that look like buildings or towers lying staggering on the ground, but all of these things have undergone extremely severe corrosion. The degree of corrosion has even made them appear It looked like it had been "melted". The remains of the building have become rounded and collapsed, and all the edges and corners have been smoothed away, giving people the impression of being burned soft plastic models.
The data terminal activated the spacecraft's resolution and restoration system, working hard to restore the shrunken and twisted wreckage to what it looked like back then. So some majestic city phantoms appeared on the holographic projection, covering the real current situation of the moon. The data terminal uses some color blocks to mark different areas of the model: "This should be the outer wall, which has been completely washed away, leaving only the base. This location is probably a facility such as an energy well. This area is the take-off and landing of the aircraft. platform……"
"The technology of the ancient Magic Empire seems to be more advanced than expected. Their lunar station is not just a small station, but a mature alien colony. This planet must have undergone deep ecological transformation," Nangong said in May. Looking at the simulation of the lunar city on the holographic projection, imagining the planet covered with greenery under an artificial dome, "Maybe there was an ecological shield above our heads... Brother, can you please stop?" Did you dig your chair?"
Nangong Sanba was studying the seats of the spaceship with his head down. At this moment, Ji Ling suddenly raised his head and stared at Hao Ren: "You really took out a spaceship casually?!"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes: "You didn't realize it until now?"
"Actually, I haven't realized it yet," Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren blankly, "You have a spaceship, alien technology, and magic from other worlds... I feel like these things The style of painting is wrong. Is the nature of your work considered science fiction or fantasy?"
"I think I'm a clergyman," Hao Ren nodded with a particularly stern expression, "Besides, if you continue to pick at my spaceship, I will throw you out - it's more than 200 degrees below zero outside, in a vacuum."
Nangong Sanba immediately sat up straight, showing his usual big-tailed wolf look: "Of course, as a demon hunter, my ability to accept is still very strong. By the way, what are we here for? Exploring alien civilizations?"
"Do you still remember the bunch of tentacles you saw in the cave?" Hao Ren pointed to an image on the holographic projection, "That thing can destroy the entire ecosystem in seconds, and we are here... to confirm Let’s see how that thing started an interstellar war.”
The scene in front of the spacecraft was displayed on the holographic projection, and a touch of red appeared at the end of the horizon, which was the Great Red Spot on the moon.
It's a frozen lake of blood.
"Look at those things by the lake." The fluff on Lily's ears slowly stood up. "They look like tentacles..."
