Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 427 Relics of Civilization
"City under the sea?"

Su Xia's heart moved, and a lot of related legends flashed in her mind.

It is rumored that there used to be a very brilliant civilization, maybe ten thousand years ago, or even earlier, in short, the level of prosperity is not worse than it is now.

But later, this civilization disappeared in the long river of history, and it is no longer possible to verify it.

Some say that the torrential rain that fell continuously for hundreds of years caused the water level to rise and submerge the entire civilization.

There is also a saying that something happened to the moon, which caused the earth's tides to be abnormal, and a terrible tsunami appeared, causing the entire civilization to be swallowed by the tsunami.

There are different opinions, and everyone has their own opinions.

Among them, most of the views are related to extraterrestrial civilizations.

The city under the sea, also known as the lost city, is still a frequent visitor in many literary and artistic works, especially works about adventure, exploration, and mysterious worlds.

"Is there really a prehistoric technological civilization?" Su Xia asked curiously.

"No, it's just an abandoned stone city, but it's just over 1 meters deep under the sea, so it looks very mysterious."

The big whale broke Su Xia's illusion. In his mouth, it was just a primitive city built of various stones, far from the legendary "prosperity" and "technology".

As for why the city sank to the bottom of the [-]-meter seabed, the big whale didn't know.

When he was a little kraken he had heard the kraken tell of reasons, and the kraken had heard it from the old kraken, and the old kraken had heard it from older krakens.

In short, such word-of-mouth news and stories, passed down to his generation, must have been distorted long ago.

"I heard from an old man that the city was originally built on a glacier, and then the climate changed and the glacier split, and part of the glacier that the city was on slid into the sea, and as the glacier melted, the city gradually sank to the bottom of the ocean." The Whale spoke of the version of the story he had heard.

"So that's it." Su Xia was thoughtful, and a blurry picture appeared in her mind.

After all, human beings are too small to imagine the mighty power of nature.

For example, on the other side of the earth, fossils of marine organisms can be found on the mountains thousands of meters away. The vicissitudes of the sea and the changes in the world, many things seem incredible, but in fact they are just natural miracles.

The city under the sea sounds very mysterious and seems impossible to exist, but it is possible to be born when encountering various coincidences.

Time passed, and the distance of more than 200 kilometers passed by in a flash.

Su Xia has officially entered the Extreme North Sea.

At this moment, there are large and small ice floes floating on the sea level, and the ice floes undulate with the waves, crashing, and the whole world is completely white.

If it goes deeper for a certain distance, these ice floes will become a thin layer of ice, which will have a certain impact on ships sailing at sea.

Fortunately, the underwater temperature is always above zero, and there is no resistance when sailing.

"The underwater city is ahead, can you see it?" the big whale asked.

"Of course I can't see it. This submarine has no windows." Su Xia replied.

"Open a window."

"No, it will affect the overall pressure resistance and stealth ability."

"Invisible?" The big whale was also curious, "How to be invisible? Disappear from my eyes?"

"No, it's just conventional acoustic cloaking, electromagnetic cloaking, infrared cloaking, etc., only targeting the enemy's reconnaissance equipment, which can be seen with the naked eye."

"What kind of invisibility is that? Invisibility is called invisibility."

"No way, technology is limited, this is the only way."

During the exchange, one person and one whale approached the silent underwater city.

This is the seabed of the Extreme North Sea, about 3000 meters, almost a forbidden area for life.

Su Xia stood in front of the console and dispatched more than a dozen deep-sea exploration robots that came with the submarine, using these small robots as eyes to feed back real-time seabed images for Su Xia.

The water waves on the bottom of the sea were dark and icy cold, and it should have been pitch black.

However, on the display screen above the console, the more than a dozen images fed back by the little robot are not completely dark, but there are countless small dark blue light spots flickering like stars.

"Hey...what's glowing?" Su Xia concentrated her attention.

This scene is astonishing.

Taking a closer look, those small light spots turned out to be translucent jellyfish cruising one by one.

These jellyfish are only the size of a palm, and their almost transparent bodies are light blue, very gentle, swimming slowly, with a touch of elegance in their laziness, like little angels. A light blue soft light.

In the little tentacles behind them, there is also a little blue light flickering.

In the picture, thousands of small jellyfish are all glowing and twinkling like stars in the dark night.

"I didn't expect to see these little things in such a deep place under the sea." Su Xia realized that this was a group of mutated creatures, otherwise they would not be able to survive in such a deep area.

Ahead is the ancient city that sank into the sea.

Indeed, as the big whale said, this underwater city does not have any sense of technology.

In the pictures fed back by the little robot, there are only sloping stone pillars, broken stone steps, and collapsed stone houses. It is a civilization relic made of pure stones, lying quietly on this cold seabed.

Gently wipe off the seabed dust on the surface of the stone pillar. Under the light, you can see that the stone pillar is light gray, with some complicated and strange patterns engraved on the surface, like an ancient altar or a temple support pillar.

"Appears to be similar to some remains of civilizations in Latin and Central America."

Su Xia was thoughtful, and when she saw this stone pillar, she thought of similar traces of civilization on the other side of the earth, such as the Mayan civilization ruins in Central America.

He is currently located at the edge of this underwater ruins, and has not yet gone deep.

In the ruins, there are pieces of collapsed stone buildings, most of which are covered by gray seabed debris and dust, and the original appearance cannot be seen clearly.

Many small blue jellyfish swim in the ruins of this civilization, like blue elves dancing on the ruins, and regard this place as their home.

"Go ahead."

Su Xia issued an order, and more than a dozen small robots outside began to explore the ruins, while the large submarine stayed outside in case of accidents.

The action of the little robot caused the water flow in the ruins to fluctuate strangely. The surrounding jellyfish seemed to be a little frightened and moved away one after another, giving way to these little robots.

With the deepening of the little robot, more and more pictures of civilization relics appeared in front of Su Xia.

This city is huge, far beyond Su Xia's imagination.

The roads in the city extend in all directions and are very wide, and its original prosperity can be vaguely seen.

In the feedback picture, apart from the collapsed stone houses, some other things gradually appeared, such as stone flower beds, carriages, portraits, reliefs, etc., all of which are huge and exquisitely crafted, not rough.

In the upper left corner of the screen, in the picture fed back by the little robot, there is a huge stone human head with a diameter of at least seven or eight meters.

Behind the human head, is a broken stone body.

Obviously, this was once a complete stone statue of a human body, but it collapsed later, shattered into pieces, and the broken stones rolled randomly on the road of this ruined city.

【Discover metal products】

The little robot suddenly sent a message.

In the picture he fed back, it can be seen that he stretched out his mechanical arm and found a huge metal weapon in the shape of a trident in a pile of rubble, but the weapon was already rusted and corroded by the sea water. It looks like it is almost blending with the seabed dust.

This trident weapon may have been held in the hand of this giant stone statue of a human body.

Continue along this road full of ruins.

Behind this pile of broken stones, many similar piles of stones can be seen, scattered on both sides of the stone road.

It seems that this place used to be an extremely important central road in the city. On both sides of the road, there should have been mighty statues of stone soldiers holding tridents, but now they have all collapsed over the years.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" The big whale suddenly asked.

"No." Su Xia shook her head.

"Let me just say, it's a stone city, but you humans are very curious about this kind of underwater civilization." Big whales have lived on the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, and they have seen many underwater ruins. Not interested.

He is probably only interested in things on land, after all, he has never been to the land world.

"Lets see."

Su Xia focused and looked at the picture on the screen, not disappointed or anything else, but continued to explore further with a curious mind.

On the screen, the little robot went a certain distance after passing through the road full of gravel.

In front of him, a tall stone altar appeared.

There are twelve stone pillars around the altar, most of which have collapsed, either broken, or broken into many pieces, which are already in disrepair, only a few stone pillars are still standing crookedly.

The altar is at least 30 meters high. A long stone step leads from the bottom to a high place. The stone is black and gray. Over the long years, even these steps have been broken and become incomplete. Some have gaps, and some have become several pieces.

On the high stone round platform, some mysterious symbols and patterns are also engraved.

It is conceivable that in this glorious period of ancient civilization, there must have been people like "priests" who stood on a high altar and led thousands of people below the altar to offer sacrifices to the gods they imagined. Or pray for peace, or pray for a good harvest.

The little robot boarded the altar and looked into the distance. There are still a large number of relic areas that have not been explored in front of it. In the depths of the relics, there is a huge shadow.

"what is that?"

The sea is dark, cutting off the vision, making the distant picture appear blurred.

Su Xia narrowed her eyes and looked carefully.

In the depths of this civilization relic, in the center of the city, where many stone roads converge, a huge shadow stands, which seems to be a...

"pyramid?"

Su Xia stared blankly, blinked her eyes, thinking she had misread.

He immediately issued an order to urge more than a dozen small robots in the ruins to speed up, and all of them moved towards the center of the ruins, approaching the huge shadow in the center of the city.

As the distance draws closer, the shadow gradually reveals its true face, it is indeed a giant pyramid!

"It's really strange that there are pyramids in this civilization."

Ahead, in the center of the ruins, the pyramid is at least 300 meters high, like a giant supporting the sky.

It is made of huge stone blocks weighing several tons or even dozens of tons. It is magnificent and shocking, as if it is a miracle created by the gods. It is hard to imagine how it was built by manpower.

In ancient times, when the production capacity was backward, how to build such a splendid building?

More than a dozen small robots measured in turn, from the top of the tower to the bottom of the tower, and finally obtained a more accurate data based on analysis.

Three hundred and three meters!
If the giant sea monster, the big whale, stood up, its height would be more than 300 meters, not much higher than this pyramid.

"Is this also a tomb?"

Su Xia remembered that on the other side of the earth, the pyramids built by the ancient Egyptians were almost all mausoleums for burying kings and queens.

Of course, some sacrificial buildings, temple buildings, and palace buildings also adopt the shape of pyramids. For example, the tower temple of the Sumerian civilization in the Mesopotamian plain is a temple that symbolizes power and belief. architecture.

Su Xia felt that if it was a tomb, it seemed a little strange that it was located in the center of the city.

"Look for an entrance."

He sent instructions to the dozen or so little robots, asking them to explore around the pyramid, looking for the existence of entrances and exits.

If it is really a tomb, then there must be a lot of valuable funerary objects in the tomb.

Su Xia didn't want to rob the tomb, but just wanted to conduct archaeological excavations.

"If it's not a tomb, but a building like a temple, there should be sacrificial items inside." Su Xia's eyes flickered, looking at the screen and thinking.

"What if it's not?" the big whale suddenly said.

"What do you think?" Susha asked the big whale.

"Energy Tower."

"what?"

"Power Tower, the name an old sea monster told me."

The big whale said a very strange name, and then said to Su Xia: "When I was young, I heard some old sea monsters say that this triangular-shaped building may be a kind of energy tower."

"What's the use?" Su Xia asked.

"Contacting civilizations outside this planet, that is... contacting alien creatures."

"Send a signal to the outside world?"

"Yes, it should be understandable in this way." The big whale was not sure, "This is what some older sea monsters said. In ancient times, this kind of triangular-shaped building was used for external communication."

"Anything like that?"

Su Xia pondered, thought for a moment, and then said: "This relic of civilization has not developed enough brilliant science and technology, so it should not be possible to contact extraterrestrial civilizations, unless... a real extraterrestrial civilization descends on this planet, And gives the way the pyramids were built."

Based on this, it is speculated that aliens visited this planet ten thousand years ago?

Of course, it's just a possibility.

If the guess is true, can the energy tower still be used, and can it be contacted again?
