Chapter 884 The Beginning

"History is really wonderful. It always changes us in ways that are difficult to understand." Xiang Shan sighed: "Xiang Shan could not have expected that Orla Freeman would say these words to him one day."

"Are you mocking me?" Orla Freeman smiled bitterly.

"No, it's just a sigh." Xiang Shan said.

Freeman was silent for a moment: "But Xiangshan... still failed."

Xiang Shan nodded.

"Why?"

"There is no point in asking a historical figure 'Why did he make that stupid decision at that time?' After all, no one has a God's perspective." Xiang Shan said: "Many people only base their own positions on the information they had access to at the time. "

"Do you think Xiang Shan has made the best response he can?"

"That's what he thought at the time." Xiang Shan said, and then added: "So in a sense, he deserves it."

After hearing this, Freeman shook his head and opened the door.

This factory built in the air was not built for people, but for machines. Precision instruments are not compatible with sea water. This warehouse is designed to isolate the external seawater environment. Before entering the workshop, Xiangshan and Freeman first passed through a gate. A series of low-power ultrasonic waves directly evaporated the water on their body surface. A vacuum pump above their heads then sucks the moisture-laden air away.

After the body surface was dry, they successfully entered the factory and saw the precision instruments.

Xiangshan quickly checked: "Yes, a very classic design. My handiwork. In addition, it should also absorb some technologies that appeared later - are they the human refugees you took in?"

"The original knight." Freeman said: "Not everyone is like you, who can...can continue to fight for two hundred years."

Kaname Xiangshan said: "It didn't last much. Rather, it didn't last much at all."

As he spoke, he exported data from the instrument and checked parameters and materials.

At this time, the sound of dolphins was heard outside.

Freeman immediately went to check. Then, he came in and said to Xiang Shan: "Uh... a... not very good news."

"oh?"

"You asked dolphins to help find the whereabouts of your companions before." Freeman said: "A dolphin found the silent wreckage at the location described. The small and medium-sized vehicles are very square and do not look like It’s used underwater.”

Xiang Shan pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it the 'wreck'? How big is it?"

"Well, there should be water in the cabin. The good news is that no body was found..."

Xiang Shan nodded: "It's not difficult to guess. The strength of the vehicle means that if it directly touches that kind of torpedo, what will be left behind is not a wreckage, but fragments. It seems that it has probably avoided the direct hit of the torpedo. They even used close-in defense weapons to cause explosions, but unfortunately they affected the vehicle."

I don’t know if it’s Yuki or Sixth—Yuan Wenren doesn’t need to worry too much. That girl can take care of herself.

The dolphins have actually detected all this a long time ago, but due to the ultra-high delay of the cetacean acoustic communication network, the news has not reached here until now.

Freeman didn't say much. He is just a non-combatant who has been living in seclusion for two hundred years. He is far inferior to Xiang Shan in judging such matters.

Xiangshan watched quietly as his weapon parts gradually took shape.

Freeman sat nearby. He suddenly asked: "How can you be so sure that this mechanical... model will have huge potential?"

"Um?"

"In retrospect, you have actually been investing a lot of resources in the supporting technology of this strange... peculiar production method, and you started very early on." Freeman said: "In retrospect, you seem to have It was determined early on that this was possible.”

"Oh, this." Xiang Shan said, "It's just copying homework."

"What?"

"This information should no longer be classified at the end of the old era." Xiang Shan said: "There is a group of aliens whose technological level is only a little higher than humans - a little higher than humans at that time, but much lower than humans now. Using this strange form, something was sent to Earth."

The shooter paused.

There were a dozen squids hanging behind him, three of which were already white and dead because of the large incisions on their bodies.

The shooter gently pulled the dead squid off his body and let them float away with the ocean current.

"Yes, this is the road. I remember the feeling of this ocean current." Ah Hun changed his color weakly: "Follow this ocean current... On the top of an undersea mountain range, you can find a wreckage..."

"It was originally the nest of a small organization. The humans who controlled us sank it. The saw that cut the chains before was picked up on that battlefield. My teacher's teacher picked up the weapon and kept it until I was here. generation."

The ancestors of these baseline squids, the squid, live only a year in their natural state. Under the influence of baseline modification and other genetic adjustments, the life span of these squids has been greatly increased, but it is still less than ten years.

As an intelligent creature fertilized in vitro, these squids have difficulty understanding the concept of "family". The characteristic of squids "dying after spawning" also means that they are destined not to establish parent-offspring social relationships such as father and son, mother and son.

Their understanding of social relationships such as "reproduction" and "population" has formed a culture similar to "group marriage". For these squids, the role that occupies a social status similar to "parents" is "teachers".

That is the hope that has been passed down for three generations.

The shooter continued to move forward towards the mountain.

Soon, he saw the place that Ah Hun said.

A sunken submarine.

Here, there is also a working maintenance unit.

Of course, some wild standard squids also live here.

But the living conditions of these wild groups are very bad.

Similar to the whisker dentures of toothed whales, the barbs on the tentacles of squids are actually biological material prostheses.

These wild squids can't even get food normally. They rely entirely on some fleeing squids to filter plankton to survive.

At this point, Ah Hun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked, "What are your plans next?"

"I will take you to see someone." The shooter said to the mountain.

Ahun asked, "Where?"

"The place we humans call Southeast Asia. Where everything started."
