Chapter 348: Original Relics
Primal world.
Black sand sea of death.
The adaptive training of the Tiangong No. 3 exoskeleton team has lasted for half a day.
The "half a day" in this sentence refers to the time in the primitive world.
The primitive world also has day and night changes, but a day and night change is close to 52 hours, which is equivalent to more than 2 days on Canglan Star.
At this time, the primitive world is approaching dusk.
It can be seen that the sky, which was originally covered by wind and sand and appeared dim yellow, is now obviously darker, as if the sky is covered by a layer of black curtain.
The seasons of the black sand sea are divided into two, one is the hot season and the other is the ice season.
As the name suggests, the hot season is a period of high temperature.
The highest temperature during the day reaches an astonishing 150 degrees, and ordinary creatures will definitely be roasted on the ground. The lowest temperature at night can reach minus 50 degrees.
The ice season is just the opposite.
The highest temperature during the day reaches more than 40 degrees, and the night is as low as a terrifying minus 160 degrees, which is like an extremely cold ice cave.
It is now the ice season.
At this time, the temperature had dropped rapidly to minus 30 degrees Celsius.
A thin layer of white frost appeared on the surface of the sand layer at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking around, the black sand sea turned into a white sand sea.
"Woo~"
The wind became stronger.
It was mixed with an indescribable extreme cold, as if it was cold to the depths of the soul.
Gabamuda glanced at the exoskeleton team, moved his mouth, and wanted to say, "The temperature will continue to drop, we'd better return to Canglan Star."
He thought that this group of Canglan people were doing adaptive training for the first time, so it would be better not to spend the night in the black sand sea.
But the alien didn't have time to say it.
Long Xingyun, the supreme commander of the Blood Flag Legion, opened his mouth and ordered: "Everyone pay attention, turn on the armor mode, and turn on the heating."
"Understood!"
Six exoskeletons immediately made a series of "clicking" sounds.
Many alloy armor plates automatically unfolded and fit together tightly, covering the operator's body tightly.
Previously, the exoskeleton also had protection, but it only protected the chest, abdomen, joints and other vital parts.
Now the exoskeleton has completely turned into six sealed iron cans.
Gabamda was stunned.
This alien has always been wondering why the Canglan people did not design the exoskeleton into a "full protection" style, which would obviously have stronger defense.
After all, the exoskeleton is so powerful, it's not that they can't carry it.
Now he understands that the Canglan people have already considered everything.
Because everyone who has worn an iron can knows that this thing is too uncomfortable. Not only is it stuffy and airtight, but it also stinks inside.
Folding armor is different. When you encounter danger, unfold the armor plates, which are more protective.
Fold the armor plates when you don't need them, which is ventilated and comfortable.
Long Xingyun turned his head to look at Gabamda and asked, "The temperature is too low now. You are not wearing armor. Do you want to go back first?"
Gabamda shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Our Iron Fist people have harder skin and are more resistant to cold."
As soon as he finished speaking.
This alien regretted it a little.
Because of the whistling cold wind, he could clearly feel that his body temperature began to drop faster.
In order to maintain the self-esteem of a high-level warrior, Gabamda tried his best to control his body from shaking.
Long Xingyun shouted again: "Continue patrolling!"
"Yes!"
The six exoskeletons began to move forward.
In this short period of time, the temperature dropped further to 35 degrees.
Because the warm gold heater was turned on, the internal temperature of the exoskeleton was constant at 20 degrees, which was warm enough to be called spring.
Gabamda followed behind with the giant sword, and felt his calves tremble slightly with every step.
It's really cold!
The alien regretted more and more that he didn't wear the set of armor full of potholes in order to maintain the so-called decency.
Even if the armor looks ugly, it's better to have armor to isolate some of the cold than to be frozen, right?
He walked a distance again.
A team member reported: "Report, the mechanical spiders found a large quicksand belt ahead."
This place is more than five kilometers away from the World Gate. For safety reasons, the team sent out dozens of mechanical spiders.
These mechanical spiders can not only explore the way, but also have other functions.
For example, infrared thermal imager.
This equipment can distinguish the infrared rays emitted by some monsters. This thing is especially useful in low-temperature environments.
Another example is ground-penetrating radar.
This radar can emit radio electromagnetic waves to detect the situation under the sand layer, including the location and thickness of the quicksand layer.
The temperature difference between day and night in the Black Sand Sea is so huge that the sand layer expands due to heat during the day and contracts due to cooling at night, so quicksand belts are inevitable.
During the previous patrol, the mechanical spiders found many quicksand belts, but the general range was relatively small.
And Gabamda was almost numb to the endless new gadgets of the Canglan people.
Anyway, this alien wanted everything he saw.
In fact, the Iron Fist Clan also has a secret method to explore the quicksand belt, which is to shoot a special force at the surface of the sand layer, and the position of the quicksand belt can be confirmed through the force feedback.
But the problem is that it consumes too much force.
In the dangerous black sand sea, walking a distance consumes some force. If the force is consumed too much, isn't it a death wish?
In comparison, the mechanical spider is much more useful.
Long Xingyun ordered: "Mark the location of the quicksand belt on the spiritual vision interface, and we will bypass it."
The team member's tone was a bit strange: "I feel that this quicksand belt is a bit wrong."
Long Xingyun asked: "What's wrong?"
The team member replied: "The shape of the quicksand belt shown by the ground-penetrating radar looks like a funnel, small on the top and large on the bottom, and it seems to be very deep."
The mechanical spider has detected many quicksand belts, and has never encountered this shape.
Long Xingyun was stunned for a moment, and immediately ordered: "Use the exoskeleton to power the mechanical spider, increase the transmission power of the ground-penetrating radar, and detect again."
"Yes!"
Soon.
The detection results came out.
The team members reported with a more surprised tone: "Electromagnetic waves detected that below 600 meters, there is still a quicksand area. Judging from the image, the boundary of the quicksand belt should be deeper."
Long Xingyun realized that there might be something strange: "Something is wrong. Since the quicksand is so deep, why didn't the sand above collapse?"
The commander suddenly thought of a possibility and cursed: "Fuck, there won't be a monster below?"
If there is a monster, judging from the range of the quicksand belt, it must be a big one.
The team members swallowed their saliva: "It's possible!"
Others suddenly became nervous.
Gabamuda suddenly recalled some rumors he had heard before, and his metallic pupils flashed.
The alien hesitated, remembered the life-saving grace of the Canglan people, and said: "Maybe this is not a monster."
Long Xingyun asked curiously: "What is that?"
Gabamuda did not answer immediately, but asked a question first: "You should know the 'Original Evil Clan', right?"
Long Xingyun nodded and said: "Of course I know."
The so-called "Original Evil Clan" is the indigenous civilization of the original world.
Because they are generally violent and cruel, and very hostile to the various civilized worlds that descended, they are called evil tribes.
Gabamda then replied: "In the long years, new original evil tribes have been born in the Death Black Sand Sea, and many original evil tribes have been destroyed for various reasons.
"The traces left by these destroyed original evil tribes will be gradually buried by the black sand, and eventually sink into the depths of the Black Sand Sea, becoming the 'original ruins'.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
"Many civilized worlds accidentally discovered the original ruins when exploring the Black Sand Sea, and found a lot of precious things from them."
Long Xingyun's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Really?"
Gabamda nodded and said: "As far as I know, even after many years, some original ruins still retain powerful supernatural powers.
"This power will continue to affect the surrounding environment and produce some strange phenomena. The quicksand belt discovered by the mechanical spider may be a special phenomenon caused by the ruins. "
The alien paused and reminded: "However, ruins like this are often very dangerous. Even if a knight enters them rashly, there is a high probability of death."
As soon as the voice fell.
A bright red light spot flashed from a distance like a stream of light.
"Puff!"
The stream of light exploded into a fire cloud.
Large ripples surged from the fire cloud, and a figure quickly emerged.
It was Yang Fan.
Gabamuda was startled and said quickly: "Mr. Ghost!"
Long Xingyun and others saluted in unison: "Hello, Chief!"
Yang Fan glanced at the alien guest and smiled: "You guessed right, there is indeed an original ruin buried deep in this quicksand."
Gabamuda was a little surprised: "Mr. Ghost, how do you know?"
Yang Fan floated in the air, overlooking the quicksand underground, and whispered: "My intuition tells me that this place is very dangerous! ”
This indirectly proves that the original ruins are below.
He paused and added: "Except for me, if you are sucked in, you will die."
The "you" in this sentence undoubtedly includes the Iron Fist Man.
Gabamda's face changed slightly.
This is actually the information in the dream.
For the Canglan people in the dream, everything that happened around the ruins was a complete tragedy.
In the 26th year of the Canglan Star's arrival, the Canglan people received help from a civilized world called "Glorious Civilization" and built a world gate in Shapudian.
Because the world rift above Shapudian is very stable, it is the most suitable place for Canglan Star to build a world gate.
No one else.
Yang Fan strongly suggested that Daxia completely control Shapudian for this reason.
After the establishment of this world gate, the major powers reached a consensus. To.
Only ten powers have obtained the right to use the World Gate.
Each power has only three opportunities per year to explore the Death Black Sand Sea through the World Gate.
The reason why it is "three times" and not more is because this is a "rented" World Gate.
There is no way.
The Canglan people are too poor. After so many years, they can't raise the cost of building the World Gate.
The Huiguang people made up the remaining materials and forced the Canglan people to sign a very harsh agreement.
The ownership of this World Gate belongs to the Huiguang civilization within a hundred years. The Canglan people pay a rental fee every year, and they have to pay another fee every time they use it.
The country that first discovered the original ruins was the Golden Peacock Kingdom.
When the exploration team sent by this strange country passed through the area where the ruins were located, more than a dozen members were trapped.
To be honest, this is a very funny thing.
Because when the exploration teams of various countries enter the black sand sea, they must carry a large number of mechanical pathfinder spiders.
With the help of mechanical spiders, the exploration team can avoid the quicksand area in time.
Only the Golden Peacock brought a lot of mechanical spiders, but still fell into the trap.
The reason is very speechless-the Golden Peacock purchased a batch of mechanical spiders with quality problems.
The mechanical spiders responsible for pathfinders were equipped with defective ground-penetrating radars and failed to detect the quicksand area under the sand layer.
As for why mechanical spiders with quality problems were purchased, you can guess the answer with your toes.
After more than a dozen Golden Peacocks were sucked into the quicksand, not even a little dregs were left in an instant.
The remaining Golden Peacocks tried to rescue them, but a super strong suction force was generated in the quicksand area, sucking all the people around them in.
Only three Golden Peacocks stood in the distance and escaped by luck.
In extreme fear, they fled back to the World Gate and returned to Canglan Star as quickly as possible.
This incident soon spread all over the world.
Under the leadership of Daxia and the Jamini Federation, various countries formed a joint carbon exploration team and began to investigate the situation in the quicksand.
It took the Canglan people five years and countless deaths to finally figure out that there was an original relic buried at least 8,000 years ago in the quicksand.
The first supreme commander of the Blood Flag Corps, Long Xingyun, died in an exploration operation.
However.
Before the Canglan people began to excavate the ruins, the World Gate suddenly closed.
This was naturally the work of the Glowing Civilization.
Many powerful people of the Glowing People rushed to Canglan Star, entered the Death Black Sand Sea through the World Gate, dug out the original ruins, and took away all the relics in it.
Facing the ruins at their doorstep, the Canglan civilization paid a heavy price, but did not get a hair.
This is the best interpretation of the so-called "making clothes for others".
Not only that, the Canglan people were also punished by the other side.
The Huiguang people doubled the fees for the ten great powers to use the World Gate, using the excuse that "the development rights of the ruins around the World Gate belong to the Huiguang civilization, and the Canglan people are not allowed to develop without authorization."
The strong civilized world treats the weak civilized world so rudely.
At this time.
Gabamuda reminded again: "The Canglan people had better keep the information about the original ruins strictly confidential, otherwise once the news spreads, the Canglan people will lose the ruins forever."
Yang Fan smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I have a way to keep the ruins firmly in my hands."
Gabamuda's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.
However, judging from the look of this alien, he obviously didn't believe this sentence.
