Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 217 Search and Gift

Xia Lan and the others watched the group of mercenaries build the camp from a near-perfect God's perspective. Not only was he silent, but Heimdall also seemed unable to make up his mind.

Ten thousand years of time did not seem to make his soul old and tired, and the wear and tear of time seemed to never appear on him, which made Xia Lan couldn't help guessing—this was probably related to the ongoing affair with his partner. "Soul Sleep" related.

But now is obviously not the time to ask about this. The group of mercenaries seemed to find that electromagnetic signals could not be transmitted back to the previous world, and began to monitor the surrounding environment after rectifying the camp.

It seems that because of wearing protective clothing, the first time they faced this world was not a virus attack.

Of course, the virus attack is not a big crisis for the elites who can be selected for this operation. Although the ecological environment here is somewhat different from the environment on the earth, the pathogenic system of the virus is still similar. I can slow down.

"Can you close the entrance to the ruins, or send them back?" Xia Lan asked.

Heimdall shook his head slightly: "For some reason, the entrance cannot be controlled in reverse, but it should be no problem if you just send it back, but if you send it back... there is no guarantee that they will not attract more people .”

"And we can't show up. Showing up means that there are controllers here, and there are things worth attacking here."

Heimdall's thoughtful statement made Xia Lan couldn't help showing an expression of approval, and he asked again: "Then is there any better way?"

"Kill them all?" Heimdall said, but it seemed that he was asking for Xia Lan's opinion.

Xia Lan realized at that moment - if it wasn't for the abilities of the few of them that he valued enough, they might have been killed at that moment.

"It's enough to lock them up. They have at most 100 people. If there are more people, they may close the 'no return' ruins. Then they will be sent out with us, and I will forcefully close the gate of the ruins from the outside. Xia Lan said, still reluctant to kill this group of people who haven't done anything bad yet.

The more people you see with multiple faces, the more likely you will be soft-hearted.

Speaking of this, Xia Lan asked again: "Will something like a big explosion happen when the gate of the ruins is blown up?"

Heimdalton made a moment, and waved his hand to create a three-dimensional projection with a resolution higher than the most detailed computer Xia Lan had ever seen. It showed the structure of the ruins.

It seems that their conversation just now was recognized by the intelligent system and retrieved very accurately.

Xia Lan took the "projection" with a faint touch in awe, and the two people around him couldn't help but touch it twice curiously, and they didn't officially read the document until they finished touching it up and down— —

The main structure of the ruins is a multi-layer spherical complex, from the outside to the inside: the protective outer wall, the law modification insulation layer, and the central control core.

Transmission generation module, energy module, protective armament generation module, self-discipline update module, etc. are distributed between these spherical layers, constituting this relic with a theoretical service life of more than 2 years under the premise of no ground mass change.

"Hmm..." Xia Lan pondered for a moment, then fell silent as she saw the additional lines of prompts reflected on it.

In order to prevent the "it" in the sky from looking at it according to fate, the ruins have self-destruct procedures from the beginning of construction. When the "law modification insulation layer" cannot keep covering more than 99% of the ruins, the ruins will collapse self-destruct.

Everything in it will be completely crushed, smashed, and melted by the central "collapse engine" within 3 to 5 seconds, and finally form an ultra-high temperature molten sphere with almost completely uniform texture, without retaining any original structure.

The theoretical range of action of the collapse engine perfectly fits the whole of the ruins, so there is no need to worry about swallowing too large or too small an area. Peripheral personnel only need to pay attention to the wind and waves that will be generated during the collapse, and the wind and waves will not be too big.

Of course, these are theoretical effects, and no one can be sure whether the ruins after ten thousand years are still as perfect as the original ones.

"Then, this plan should be feasible?" Xia Lan nodded, and subconsciously put the three-dimensional projection in her hand on the table. Seeing it suddenly disappear into the air, she was taken aback for a moment.

"En." Heimdall nodded slightly, raised his hand and took out another panel in the air, manipulated it a few times and said: "The intelligent system will complete the relevant control, and don't worry about the rest.

Xia Lan turned her head and looked out the window, and then Skadi looked at the place where the mercenary camp was located—something fell from the dome there, and they fell slowly like dust, like an invisible net. people who live there.

They fell to the ground like cut wheat, without any movement for a moment.

A few seconds later, a batch of transport machinery appeared from nowhere, transported them away, demolished the camp, and even spent a while repairing the damaged vegetation.

"This automation... can only be said to be worthy of an ecological park that has been in operation for tens of thousands of years." Xia Lan couldn't help admiring, but it was still Heimdall's wry smile.

But the other party didn't say anything, but stood up and said, "Let me show you around this research institute."

The first thing they came to was the ecological central control area, which monitored every plant, tree, and microorganism in the ecological garden, and made timely corrections when problems occurred in certain links.

The main components are: computing center, monitoring array, breeding system, killing system and so on.

This should cost an astronomical amount of computing power and energy, but it seems that Heimdall is already a common thing for this.

Then Xia Lan understood the specific reason——the second area is the antimatter energy system, and Xia Lan didn't understand the specifics. Anyway, the general idea is that if you have this thing, you will have endless energy. Compared with the price paid, the output Enough energy for this ecological park to explode a star.

Then the third area... on the outer wall of the ecological park, Xia Lan also fell into an unparalleled shock here.

——He saw a sky full of stars, and a desolate and silent gray-white land.

"Where is our *Yan country swearing*?!"

"In... oh..." Heimdall wanted to explain at first, but then he showed an understanding expression, guessing that the people on the ground might have entered an era where they no longer watched the universe and starry sky after that catastrophe.

"We are on the moon. It seems to be the No. [-] moon far away from the planet." Xia Lan's next words surprised him again, and at the same time fell into confusion.

Xia Lan noticed Heimdall's emotions, shrugged her shoulders and said, "Most people on the ground don't know much about the stars in the universe, and I just know a little more than others, but there are also a few planets in this galaxy. Do not know at all."

"Agor has observed four planets so far, but more of them are in the mist that cannot be calculated anyway." The ghost shark on one side said, and Skadi on the other side also agreed after a moment of stupefaction .

"Why didn't I know about this?" Xia Lan asked strangely, but what greeted her was the evil look of the ghost shark.

"Four?" Heimdall showed a clear look, nodded and said, "That thing is in the orbit between the fourth and fifth planets, so it is impossible to measure the outer world with your technological level."

……

However, their trip is not to watch the stars, but to visit the real core of this ecological park - Yuhuachi (paraphrase).

The Yuhua pool is built on the upper floor and above the ground of the ecological park, and the aforementioned "soul deep sleep system" is just a small part of it.

The essence of the Feather Pool is a huge modulation warehouse, where they produced "Heimdall" that not only retains some advantages of the biological cell system, but also possesses the technology of the apex of civilization.

However, in fact, the earliest plan was not to make "Heimdall" into a human form, but during the research process, it was found that if it deviates too much from the human form, it will lead to the loss of stability in the operating form of the soul, and eventually make people become "reformed psychopaths", so I finally retreated. Secondly, I chose a completely human form.

In addition to the final problem of energy operation, the output during normal operation can easily reach hundreds of billions of joules per second, and the maximum speed can reach 17% of the speed of light. Counting the curvature engine, it can easily break through the speed of light.

……

Four hours later, in the temporary isolation space.

Xia Lan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and put down the fist-sized Origin Stone in front of him on the metal table, which had more than 1 rune facets, and recorded all the source information he could read inside.

"It's over, this one is used for preservation and research, and the other is used as pure energy research material." He said, a long strip of pure source stone grew out of his palm roughly, it It broke off spontaneously, and he put it in another box on the table.

After putting the two materials away, Xia Lan looked at Heimdall outside the glass curtain wall, spread her hands, opened the door and walked out.

"Speaking of which, the Origin Stone was also created by your civilization. How far is your understanding of the soul?" Xia Lan came out and asked.

Heimdall touched his chin and thought about it: "We can create artificial souls, but they are not stable. They can only produce embryos in the early stage. Later, they must be cultivated step by step like cultivating organisms. The more mature ones can create artificial souls. Same 'material', it can be used for things like enhancing a person's soul, repairing soul damage."

"So awesome!" Xia Lan couldn't help but swear by Yan Guo.

Heimdall, who could understand the meaning of this sentence, glanced at him, shrugged and said, "What do you think we rely on to live for thousands of years? The 'Deep Soul Sleep' technology is the most cutting-edge derivative of this technology. It can eliminate the wear and tear of the soul, and anchor the human soul in a designated state."

"Anchoring?" Xia Lan raised her brows and asked, "You mean, your current state is the same as it was ten thousand years ago?"

Faced with this problem, Heimdall shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "At least the operating performance is 100% consistent, but the underlying operating logic is a detail that we cannot accurately measure."

The wry smile on his face then turned into strands of sorrow and expectation.

"But this is enough, isn't it?" He said: "With the power of the origin stone you gave us, we are confident that we will complete the final unification of the soul and the body within one year, and complete the final optimization of the energy system. It may be the final stage.”

"..." Xia Lan was silent and didn't say anything more.

This "final stage" is a counterattack against the "it" in the sky, which is the "swan song".

They, the last remnants of the former civilization in this ecological park far beyond fate, are like earth-bound spirits, unable to die, unable to leave, and unable to see the future.
