Chapter 952 The Unsurprising Artifact

The scene of the drone swarm constructing in space is spectacular. Hundreds of silver-white dismantlers are biting and cutting on the surface of those giant ark ships like termites eating giant beasts. The dazzling cutting beam lights up. The shell of each giant ship peeled off their 10,000-year-old heavy armor layer by layer. But this kind of dismantling is not for destruction, but for studying and taking over the systems of these giant ships.

When Hao Ren went to repair those giant generators and search for artifacts deep in the Ark, he also issued a series of orders to Nolan. He asked Nolan to figure out the navigation systems of these Arks as soon as possible and take over the control of each Ark, at least To be able to control these spaceships to fly where he wants them to go. To this end, Nolan first disassembled the armor plates near each set of engines and power furnaces (engine power furnaces, not shelter power furnaces) of the Group. After finding out how these old equipment operated, she believed that Rather than tampering with the antique navigation hosts of these Arks, it would be better to cut off the "nerve lines" of these ships and instead let the drones install a new set of controllers on the engines and power furnaces. Her idea got support from the Giant Turtle Rock Logic host, so she's now putting it into practice.

The engineering drones used dexterous robotic arms to carry a device called "penetration core" and flew to the Ark giant ship, and attached these penetration cores to key locations such as the latter's engine. The penetration core is a silver-white ball that looks like a mercury droplet. It has a soft surface and a beautiful shape. It contains billions of tiny units inside. Once these small "mercury droplets" are Placed on a circuit board or switch group, it will immediately dissolve and then penetrate the mechanical device, eroding and replacing the original circuit. In this way, drones can easily control the equipment of alien civilizations whose technological level is far lower than their own. Of course, this control method has great limitations. When dealing with those who do not use physical lines or physical The switch is useless when it comes to high-tech equipment.

This gadget was of no use when the golden battleship "Patien" was captured.

Hundreds of small holographic images were simultaneously displayed on the bridge of the Giant Turtle Yantai, which displayed the information sent back by each drone fleet. The progress bar of the penetration core to take over the control system of the Ark giant ship was also displayed there. above. At present, the Qunluan is almost completely under control. Nolan directs the Ark to light up the lights, turn off the engine, and turn left and right. While testing the sensitivity of the newly installed control system, he muttered: "This process is like... Controlling a zombie spaceship, corroding all its original nerves, and then replacing them with my circuits...it's weird."

Everyone on the bridge expressed that it was difficult to have a common language with a ship - Nolan's metaphor was too strange.

While the drone swarm in space was carrying out a vast and spectacular project, the sanctuary of the "Throne" Ark was still immersed in peace.

People don't know what incredible things are happening on the other side of the several kilometers thick earth under their feet. They just look at the still dead ancestors and pray tremblingly, chanting the names of ancestors and gods over and over again, and whispering to each other about " The superstitious saying "Judge of Ice and Flame". The group of uninvited guests have entered the Ancestral Forge for an hour, and there is still no movement. There is neither doomsday frost falling from the sky, nor a warm current to dispel the coldness of the world. People can only see the terrifying crack on the surface of the Ancestral Forge. There were some flashes of light coming about - those flashes appeared not long ago, and have been flashing endlessly since they appeared. Occasionally, some low rumbling sounds came from the cracks. People didn't know what these flashes and sounds meant.

In fact, the autonomous machines were happily repairing the huge generator behind the crack. The flash from the welding guns at the end of their arms leaked out, and the low roar came from deeper inside the ancestral furnace, where Hao Ren and his party were.

There are countless strong doors between these ancient generators and reactors, as well as various safety shields and cement shells. Most of these are to protect the fusion reactors deep in the facility. However, due to disrepair, these doors have Unable to use conventional means to open it, Hao Ren had to use some technical means to open a way out - his technical means included but were not limited to 5 kilogram equivalent, 10 kilogram equivalent, 35 kilogram equivalent and Lily's headbutt. To be honest, these technical methods are already quite mild, compared with the firepower he used to open roads in the past.

There was another series of loud bangs, and a completely jammed metal door was destroyed by a series of precise small-scale explosions and fell down. Vivian used a strong wind to blow away the dust in the air, and walked forward with Hao Ren. . Nangong Sanba followed behind and muttered: "To be honest, I think it is quite unsafe to use explosives to open a path in this kind of fusion reactor that has been running for ten thousand years... and it lacks aesthetics."

"Anyway, with the data terminal watching over us, we have safely avoided all dangerous points along the way." Hao Ren said nonchalantly and looked up at the road ahead. This place is already inside the energy center of the shelter, and it can be said that half of the people have stepped into the fusion reactor. During the years when the Ark was operating normally, not many people would have walked around this place. All he could see were various severely aged pipes and mottled and peeling walls. The narrow maintenance passages were filled with dust. On the ceiling above his head, wide skylights could be seen at regular intervals, through which Through the transparent skylight, you can see the spectacular scene outside: various mammoth mechanical structures and thick cables with a history of 10,000 years occupy all the sight. These things are like the internal organs and blood vessels of the steel giant, filling up around Hao Ren. , always reminding everyone that this is close to the heart of the Ark.

Although everything here is rough and crude in the eyes of the data terminal, the Ark is still a miracle. The thing the designers built has a rough and primitive beauty, and no matter what - it sheltered hundreds of thousands of people for such a long time. Years ago, the blood of this ship flowed in those cables, and the people of Ark relied on these things to survive to this day.

But which link went wrong, causing the people of Ark to suddenly degenerate from the space age to a medieval dynasty?

The deeper inside the reactor, the more serious Hao Ren's doubts become. Until now, he has not found any clues to answer this question. The skeleton he found in the control room was the only "prehistoric" body he found, but that The paraskeleton didn't explain anything at all.

At this time, the data terminal came out and interrupted his thoughts: "Wait a minute, there was an abnormal energy reading suddenly appearing in front of me."

Hao Ren subconsciously replied: "Energy? This place is full of energy."

"It's 'abnormal energy'," the data terminal hit Hao Ren on the forehead, "It's an artifact!"

Hao Ren immediately looked at Vivian, who also looked over and nodded slightly.

Several people immediately cheered up and trotted through the narrow maintenance passage. Finally, they arrived at a very open place, which was a cylindrical hall. The hall was surrounded by a ring of walls inlaid with huge tempered glass windows. Through those glass windows, they could see the ring-shaped coils of the fusion furnace outside. In the center of the hall is an alloy round platform with a radius of more than ten meters that is slightly tilted to the ground.

A golden object was embedded in the center of the alloy round platform, emitting a faint light.

Gold disc.

The moment he saw the golden disc, Hao Ren was distracted for a moment. He had imagined that the artifact that the locals said protected the world might be this kind of disc - after all, it was the only one he knew. This is an artifact that comes directly from the goddess of creation - but when he actually saw it, he felt that everything was so logical, so logical that it was a bit unbelievable.

This fleet successfully escaped the eldest son's world-destroying natural disaster and escaped the cosmic pursuit of the brain monster. Is it the golden disc that they rely on?

Vivian was in a daze for a moment after seeing the disk. She subconsciously walked forward. Hao Ren immediately noticed this and grabbed her: "Vivian!"

"Ah?" Vivian woke up suddenly, "What's wrong?"

"You seemed to have lost your mind just now," Hao Ren looked at Vivian nervously and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she had returned to normal. "You stay away, I will check the condition of the disk. Lily, you Look at Vivian."

Lily immediately squatted down next to Vivian: "You go ahead - I'm the best at seeing things!"

Hao Ren nodded and walked towards the golden disc.
