Chapter 815 Underground City
The secrets of this world are hidden under everyone's nose.
A low rumbling vibration came from the pyramid, as if a large number of tens of thousands of tons of boulders were rolling around in this magnificent ancient building. A large amount of crushed lime soil fell from the pyramid in the vibration, and with these The dust accumulated over tens of thousands of years was shaken off, and the shell of the pyramid opened.
This was originally a building with no doors or windows, but now a series of boulders on its side were separated from the tower by ancient devices. The boulders weighing more than ten tons floated into the air as if they had lost gravity. The boulders Mysterious runes shining in blue and red can be seen at the bottom. In the holes formed after the boulders fell off, devices that looked like large lenses were revealed and began to fill with light.
More vibrations sounded from elsewhere, and similar changes occurred in the nine small pyramids around the main tower, but they opened not the side walls but the top of the tower: the flat tops of the small pyramids were like some kind of launch The manhole cover retreated in four directions, and then a heavy and huge crystal lens rose up from there.
Praise the sun and let its light dance.
A series of lenses immediately began to automatically calibrate their orientation after emerging from the pyramid, and then a stream of white dazzling light began to pass through the building complex starting from a certain small pyramid. The light pillars formed a chain as they jumped to each other. Structurally precise grid. Hao Ren just looked at this spectacle of ancient technology with a surprised expression at first, but he soon saw strange patterns in those grids and lines - as a space captain with a year and a half of experience, Literally, he felt that this thing might have something to do with the stars.
The work experience this guy accumulated came in handy again.
He immediately asked the data terminal to record the transmission process of light. While the terminal started recording, the lenses were also adjusting their angles to continuously construct new refraction paths, and formed several geometric figures with simple structures. After a few minutes, all the refraction methods were demonstrated, and a new round of repetition began, starting from the initial light structure - these lenses indeed have some meaning, if they are just to open the mechanism, their transmission method also It's just too complicated and useless.
"It's coordinates, starry sky coordinates. The initial light diagram is the line connecting standard starlight to the parent star. The following patterns should be the main star systems that can be seen when looking from the parent star to the surroundings." The data terminal immediately analyzed these The significance of the geometric figures, "These patterns can also be used to correct deviations caused by the movement of stars, so these coordinates are still meaningful to this day."
"Are these pyramids recording the coordinates of the planet 'Purgatory' in the Dream Plane?" Lily was greatly surprised, "Did they actually have such a sophisticated understanding in ancient times?"
"Either the ancients took the initiative to leave it, or the goddess taught them to do this," Hao Ren looked up at the ever-changing geometric figures, "Terminal, transmit the coordinates to the drone group. This is their next task."
Bonia and Geisel couldn't understand what these lights meant, but after seeing the serious expressions on the faces of Hao Ren, Vivian and others, they vaguely felt that these lights might have some sacred meaning, so they lowered their heads and prayed at the same time.
A louder vibration sounded from the underground of the main pyramid. This time, the real passage was finally opened.
The entire pyramid was split in two from the middle and slowly slid to both sides with a thunderous roar. The relief stone slabs on the base fell off one after another. Hao Ren was shocked to find that the entire pyramid was now floating in mid-air!
There is an inch of distance between its base and the ground. What leaks out from the slit is blue and red magical light. A powerful anti-gravity spell is activated. It holds up this heavy ancient building and An entrance to the underground has been opened!
After the roaring stopped, the pyramid had been divided into two equal parts, with a gap more than ten meters wide in the middle. Hao Ren saw a deep passage extending downwards, and lights inside the passage were gradually lighting up.
The lenses on the pyramid did not stop operating. They readjusted the calibration angle and continued to repeatedly demonstrate the set of starry sky coordinates.
Vivian blew up a gust of wind to disperse the dust. After Hao Ren stepped forward, he looked both ways. He saw that the pyramid opened to reveal the internal structure of the building, including a large number of heavy-looking bearings, gears, and hinges. And the magically glowing weights were creaking beneath the rocky shell, pushing the lenses and other pyramids outside into alignment. Clumsy ancient machines and magic combine in strange ways that are dazzling to watch.
Then he walked toward the ramp that seemed to lead deep underground, followed by the others.
"You two just wait outside," Vivian stopped Bonia and Geisel who wanted to follow them in. "It might be dangerous down there."
Geisel immediately puffed up his chest and grasped the holy blade, and said unconvincingly: "I am your warrior. Whether I live or die in battle, it is my duty!"
Even the little saint Bonia stood up immediately: "I have to follow, otherwise I will be scolded by the previous generation of saints after I die!"
The little girl doesn't quite understand what everyone is going to do, but she feels that she must follow the "goddess".
Hao Ren glanced at them: "I have seen Geisel's skill, which is almost equivalent to 1.5 Nangong 38, but can this little girl know how to fight?"
Bonia wrinkled her nose: "I know magic. Only saints can use high-level magic. Even Geisel may not be as good as me."
Vivian glanced at Hao Ren reproachfully: "Did you really let them follow you?"
"Anyway, they will definitely follow us secretly. We can't tie them up, and we don't know how to close such a large entrance." Hao Ren shook his head, "It's better to let them follow us openly. It's easier to protect them when we go down."
As he said that, he smiled again: "Fortunately, other tribal warriors were waiting in the tribe before. Otherwise, a group of people would be noisy and wanted to come down to escort us. We can't bring so many people on the expedition."
The group of people headed underground along the ramp. Nangong Sanba walked at the back depressedly and muttered: "How the hell did I become a combat unit?"
The ramp leading underground is extremely wide, and the walls along the way are painted with a large number of luminous runes, making the passage appear brightly lit. Taking advantage of this convenient condition, Hao Ren observed the decoration and layout of the passage while walking. He saw murals everywhere on the walls on both sides. The murals depicted the life scenes of the ancient kingdom in a rough style, with flying ships and Vehicles shuttled over the city, and citizens in robes walked on the streets. In addition to these murals, you can also see some exquisite statues standing on both sides of the corridor. Humans are only part of these statues, and most of them are images of various animals and plants.
Unfortunately, even if they are preserved underground, even if they are protected by magic, most of the statues and murals have been damaged to varying degrees. These magnificent ancient relics are now in a worrying condition.
Vivian walked next to Hao Ren, her eyes looking at the murals and sculptures became more complicated, and her curiosity was mixed with a trace of nostalgia that she was hardly aware of. This feeling of nostalgia is not her own, but the emotion contained in the blood crystal she absorbed last night.
The corridor continued down, and soon the entrance was no longer visible. The lights ahead are still bright and the air is not turbid. Although I don't know how the lighting and ventilation system of this underground facility is maintained, it seems to be running very well. Even if it has just been started, it still has a good effect.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the ramp finally reached the end and they came to an open platform.
A huge and magnificent underground "city" appears under everyone's feet.
In the vast underground cave of unknown geometry, countless boulders that look like buildings are arranged in rows. These boulders have no doors or windows. They are obviously not real houses for people to live in. They are just placed here to form a model similar to a city. . A mixed light of dark blue and red fills the entire space, and this light also has a strange floating feeling. In the center of the city, there is still a circle of huge stone pillars. Those stone pillars are wrapped with powerful electric light, and the dazzling electric arcs are constantly jumping between the stone pillars with crackling and popping sounds.
It's obvious that this entire facility is filled with powerful energy.
In the center of the "underground city", Hao Ren saw a huge hole, and he finally saw something familiar around the hole: the tentacles of the eldest son.
Countless thick tentacles spread up from the hollow, wrapped around the huge stone pillars surrounded by electric light, and twitched slightly.
