Ten thousand I am across the heavens

When the holy sword of physics was inserted into the gap in the door, the jack also participated in breaking the door. Even the thick door built by ancient humans still opened a gap.

The gap in the door doesn't need to be too big, it just needs to be enough for one person to squeeze in sideways, and the two of them will feel suffocated when they enter it. The door originally isolated this place from the outside world.After too long time, the oxygen inside is obviously not enough.

Bernadette wanted to summon a large amount of air to flow in, but was blocked. Not only did Lan Nuo not allow the air to flow in, but instead removed the jack, allowing the heavy iron door to close again.

He took out an oxygen cylinder, handed it to Bernadette and said: "This place may have existed for a long time, if it is a relic tens of thousands of years ago, then it must not let the air enter here, otherwise, if it comes into contact with oxygen, it will be left here Most of the documents will be weathered in a short period of time, and the vast majority of paper documents may be difficult to preserve in this environment. Just to be safe, don't open the door."

When Bernadette heard about tens of thousands of years ago, the expression on her face suddenly became brilliant: "You don't know history at all, do you? Ten thousand years ago was the first era, or even an earlier period. At that time, human beings It is still a vassal of other races, how could it be possible to leave magnificent ruins, even if the history here exceeds ten thousand years, it would be before the first era, how could there be civilization at that time."

In the first era, whether it was humans or other races, they were all crazy and chaotic, not to mention civilization, tribes were rare, and the steel gate before, just from the smooth surface, it can be seen that it is by no means ordinary civilization can produce.

When Lan Nuo saw the steel gate, he had already judged from the painting style that it was a human remains before the doomsday. The painting style was too similar to some important bases in the 21st century, but he also No rush to refute.

Lan Nuo turned on the flashlight, and the two of them moved forward in the dark and cold corridor. The doors of the rooms on both sides were locked, and there were lights like lights above the corridor, but the switches on the wall could no longer control them. , The long time has completely damaged these devices.

Going forward, a door is pushed open at the end of the corridor, and a hall can be seen. In the hall, there are glass showcases one after another. On the top of the hall, there is a hard metal skeleton. The skeleton is divided into two layers. The two layers of skeletons are actually transparent glass.Let it present a huge spherical glass dome, but now it is buried under thick ice and snow, even if you can see the glass on it, the outside is pitch black.

This crystal palace-like underground ruin made Bernadette's eyes widen. She could even imagine, under the extreme daylight of the Antarctic, what kind of splendor and splendor would be in this hall?
Lan Nuo didn't pay attention to the glass dome above his head. This kind of crystal palace-like building may be considered magnificent in this era, but in his previous life, this thing was slightly better than the shopping malls in third-tier cities, which is nothing to be surprised about. .

His eyes were on those glass display cabinets. Many locks on the cabinets were broken, and the glass cabinet doors could be easily opened, and he could see the frozen soil inside. Because of the extremely cold climate here, the frozen soil Although the plants in it withered, they still roughly retained their appearance when they were alive.

"This should be potatoes. What was originally in the cabinet here was wheat? Hmm... this should be a tomato, and it's a bit rotten. It's almost invisible. Hmm... there's a frozen leaf, is it coriander or celery?

The ones in the larger cabinet over here should be woody plants, but they didn’t seem to grow up and died. These should be poplar saplings, and the ones over here are pine trees, and..." Lan Nuo said one by one. I can clearly distinguish those frozen plants, some are vegetables and food, and some are trees or fruit tree saplings. Presumably this place should be a botanical garden for outsiders to show, but because of some accidents, no one takes care of it. The base in Antarctica lost heating, the temperature dropped sharply, the plants withered and froze to death here.

Bernadette also saw these plants, so without any words to explain, she can probably guess what happened here?
Beside these glass cabinets, there were also signs with words that she didn't recognize, but she could tell that one of these words was the same as the words left by Roselle Dadi.

"What's written on it?" Bernadette pointed to one of the signs and asked.

Lan Nuo glanced at it and read it according to the above: "Soybean, Fabaceae soybean is an annual herbaceous plant. The soybean stem is thick, erect, and densely covered with brown long bristles. The leaves usually have 3 leaflets; the stipules are veined and covered with Yellow fluff..."

The translated meaning is easy to understand. It is an introduction to the various crops in the glass showcase. Although Bernadette is not a cultivator and cannot recognize all the plants in it, quite a few of them can still be identified through the plant remains inside. of.

"This used to be a museum?" Bernadette was a little puzzled: "A botanical museum dedicated to displaying plants? But why should it be built in the Antarctic? These plants should not be able to survive in the Antarctic. It may be extremely difficult to maintain their survival. Could it be?" Which nobleman in ancient times who loved plants built the palace?"

Lan Nuo was noncommittal, but he already had a guess in his heart. The effect here may be exactly the opposite of what Bernadette guessed.

Lan Nuo searched the hall for a while, and quickly found the sign of the safe passage, and he could go all the way down along the passage. The two of them went down the stairs. There were no extra floors in the middle, and there was only a door. A heavy isolation door was violently opened by two people.

After going down for about 50 meters, they finally came to an open underground space after opening a door that was as thick as the top one.

There are glass jars and metal boxes here, and there are glass containers that look like anus on some tables.

Lan Nuo is very familiar with this thing, and it is often mistaken by netizens as an anal race, but it is actually a container specially used to hold seeds.Seeds of various crops are also contained in these glass containers, which seem to be placed on the table as samples.

As for the metal cabinets inside, most of them are things like refrigerators, and a large number of seeds are also stored at low temperature.Bernadette looked at the large amount of seeds preserved in the base in surprise, and overturned the previous guess. This place cannot be a palace built by any nobleman, but should be an important facility specially used to store plant seeds. The hall above should be For outsiders to visit, the basement is the real main body of the building.

Just when the two of them were distinguishing what these seeds were, the light of the flashlight in Lan Nuo's hand suddenly swept across a human-shaped shadow. The human-shaped shadow in the darkness suddenly made the pupils of the two contract. The light turned to the position of the shadow.To their relief, they didn't encounter any ghosts. It was just a corpse leaning against the refrigerator. The corpse had been air-dried, and the skin was tightly attached to the bones. Perhaps it was because it was extremely cold here, and it was used to store seeds. In the aseptic room, the corpse did not decompose. Lan Nuo came to the corpse and observed the other party's attire.

Judging from the uncorrupted clothes on his body, he should be wearing a blue protective suit, with shoe covers on his shoes, and his hands should also be wearing gloves, obviously for working in a sterile room. this suit.

When Lan Nuo lightly touched the suit on his body, a tear opened. After a long time, everything became extremely fragile. Inside this layer of isolation suit, this person was wearing a shirt with a chest pocket There also appeared to be a notebook.

Lan Nuo took out the notebook, opened it and found that it was written in English.Bernadette leaned over to look at the contents of the notebook, and then her eyes were blank, as if the genetic lock had been unlocked, revealing a pure gaze that had not been polluted by knowledge.

These were not the words left by Emperor Roselle, so she couldn't even guess the meaning of these words.

Lan Nuo was able to fully understand what was written in it. The long time had made the paper of the notebook very fragile, and Lan Nuo flipped it very carefully.

"This is No. 15 days when we lost contact with the outside world. Since the damn satellite TV broadcasted the fall of New York, it has never broadcast any news. We have closed all external channels. We must stick to it , even though the humans outside may have become extinct.”

……

"We have lost contact with the outside world for two months, and there is not much energy left in the base. I hope the plants in the thermostatic chamber can leave seeds as soon as possible."

"It's been 73 days. The rationing system has already been implemented in the base, but everyone can get less and less fuel, and the temperature is dropping. We may never be able to wait for rescue. Maybe the people outside are dead. We are the last of humanity..."

"1 days, I haven't eaten for three days, I've run out of food, I'm so hungry..."

"I can't remember how long it has been. My watch is frozen. I just saw my mother in a dream. I may be dying."

"Another comrade starved to death. I have no strength to carry his body. Maybe I will be one of them soon."

"Is it finally my turn? Will I starve to death even though I still have fat on my stomach? Lin said that the plants in the incubator have already set seeds, and the last plant seeds have been stored in the cold storage. What should be done It's done..."

"Lin is also dead. Before he died, he asked me to eat his body. I refused. I am the only one left. What is the point of living? I hope that what we have done is really meaningful!"

The notes stopped abruptly here, and there is no follow-up content. Presumably the owner of this diary died here after writing this diary.

"What's written on it? You seem to be able to understand it." Bernadette is now used to Lan Nuo's magic. He seems to have a special ability to recognize various languages.

Lan Nuo briefly recounted the contents of the diary, but Bernadette couldn't help but wonder: "Why did they starve to death? There is obviously food everywhere..."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but shut her mouth, because she had roughly guessed what happened here.

This should be the place where ancient humans stored various plant seeds. The purpose should be to prevent the extinction of various plants due to disasters, especially various important food crops.

And the people stationed here, even if they starved themselves to death, did not touch these seeds, just to leave hope for future generations. If there is a terrible ecological disaster on the earth, they will If the seeds are eaten, then if there are survivors in the future, there is really no hope of restoring the environment of this planet.

Lan Nuo stared at the corpse in front of him for a long time, and then bowed deeply to the corpse. In the face of natural disasters, there will always be people who show miraculous bravery. No one in this world remembers them, but they are undoubtedly The heroes of mankind also truly saved mankind.

"Senior, everything you have done is meaningful. It is the seeds you have preserved that allow the post-apocalyptic humans to reproduce. You can rest in peace."

Bernadette was still a little confused at this time, she was not a biologist, so she couldn't understand how great the things these people did were.

"Remember the plant remains we saw in the exhibition hall above? Those remains are almost exactly the same as the crops we plant in the farmland now, but if it is in normal natural selection, tens of thousands of years are definitely enough to make those plants Crops have become so strange that it is impossible to be exactly like these plants that humans have spent thousands of years domesticating.

The first seeds of the plants we grow and eat come from here, or from other plant gene pools similar to here, and the plants that have been domesticated, in the wild state, only need a few Generations will be completely eliminated, and if we need to re-domesticate these plants, we don't know how much it will cost to improve them to their current appearance. "

Bernadette didn't expect her father to leave her such a relic. Roselle just told her that she would come to Antarctica to explore this relic when she reached Sequence [-]. Now she probably understood what it meant.

She only felt that the sage potion in her body was rapidly digesting. The moment her emotions resonated with the emotions of this corpse, the sage potion had already begun to digest rapidly. A sage does not have to be brilliant Bright, may also be as unknown as the person in front of him, and no one knows his name so far, but he and other people who guard here are enough to become a civilized sage, a civilized hero, a certain belief, is crossing For tens of millions of years, Bernadette's heart was washed away.
