I walk in the past, continue the future

Chapter 146 Unknown Civilization
"You dug such a big hole in such a short time, you guys are amazing."

Xia Lian walked in this mine, looking at the completely different cave from the last time he came, with amazement in his eyes.

"Winter is coming soon, everyone is full of energy under the will to survive, but also because of this, many collapses occurred in the mine.

This place is under the underground city again, so many people are worried whether such excavation will lead to the instability of the overall structure of the underground city.

In such a huge city with an ant nest structure, as long as one node collapses, it is very likely to cause a chain reaction. "

"What are you going to do?" Xia Lian asked.

"According to current calculations, the structure is still stable, and the winter will make the land stronger, but it is not necessarily the case when the winter passes.

However, according to Freya's calculations on the recently collected astronomical data, after this winter passes, the earth will warm up.

People can also officially try to live on the ground. ’ replied Einstein.

Xia Lian nodded.

They continued to go deep in this coal cave, and soon they arrived at the destination of this trip. In front of them, it looked like a natural cave, but this cave was artificially transformed, and there were many traces of civilization. .

A stone promenade leads to the temple embedded in the cliff not far away. At the entrance of the temple are two huge statues. The statues are human-shaped, but they have hairless cat-like faces. Each held a weapon to guard the temple.

"If they don't have any animal worship, the character models used by these two guards should be the life of this civilization." Einstein said on the side.

The three of them passed this road together. Although they have experienced the erosion of time, they are still as strong as ever.

Xia Lian stepped forward and gently touched the stone statue on it, and wiped off a thick layer of dust, revealing the material behind, which should be gold, but I don't know how pure it is.

Mercury used the detector on her body to collect the above data and analyze it. After a pause, she said to Xia Lian.

"Through carbon analysis, these things are at least 4000 years ago."

"That's been a very long time." Xia Lian raised his eyebrows and said in surprise, he looked at the surrounding buildings, "After 4000 years, can they be preserved so well?"

"It may be related to the anaerobic environment in the underground space." Einstein said.

Xia Lian nodded.

"Let's go in and have a look." Xia Lian said.

But as soon as he stepped out to enter the temple, he was stopped by Quicksilver, "Most of these ruins will have some organs, so let me come first."

Before Xia Lian agreed, Shuiyin stepped forward and entered the temple, and some chaotic collision sounds came from inside.

It didn't take long for Mercury to come out of it.

"Your Highness, you can come in now."

Saying that, Quicksilver raised her hand, and the gravitational rod appeared in her hand, and it turned into a ring and floated above her head, turning into a circle of light.

Although AS can provide Xia Lian with night vision, and his Eye of Horus can also allow him to see more clearly at night, this light beam also allows them to see things a little more clearly.

Follow Mercury into the temple, the inside is very messy, with some sharp protrusions, many arrows stuck in the walls, and some deep pits.

Mercury's way of breaking these traps is very rough, that is, triggering them all once, and then dismantling them violently.

The tunnel is very narrow, and they have to bend slightly when walking. It seems that this civilized person will obviously not be as tall as the statue outside, but will be a smaller species.

It seems that due to being in an underground cave, and the long-term lack of oxygen here, the air is very dull, and a chill comes from the end of the deep darkness. This place is definitely a nightmare for claustrophobic patients.

It is very similar to the various tombs described in many tomb robbery novels.

Fortunately, this corridor is not long. After walking for a few minutes, they entered a very large hall.

Many round stone pillars support the structure of the temple, and in front of them is a huge statue of an alien god.

The style of clothing carved on it is somewhat similar to that of India and Persia, with very little cloth.

And on the ground of this temple, it is covered with white bones.

They are not statues, but real biological bones. I don’t know if they are animals or the life of this civilization. They are all over the ground. They seem to be the guards of the temple. Some weapons are scattered on the ground, but due to the erosion of the years, they are basically invisible. appearance.

Only some of the well-preserved blades can tell that these things are weapons.

Mercury squatted down, and began to carefully scan the data of these bones.

"The owner of these bones should have been dead for 3000 years."

"The temple has been dead for 3000 years, 4000 years. If you say that, this civilization has a history of at least 1000 years." Xia Lian murmured softly.

"Eternal Night Star does not seem like a place suitable for civilization to live in." Einstein said.

"Who knows, the evolution of life is always miraculous, maybe it just happened to evolve a life that can survive in such an extreme environment." Xia Lian shrugged and said.

"Your Highness, the biological configuration has been established."

Mercury opened the mouth.

"This is the original appearance of the owner of these bones calculated by my algorithm."

Xia Lian and Einstein looked intently.

It looks similar to the guard outside, and somewhat resembles the god of destruction Pirus in Dragon Ball.

"No hair?" Einstein asked.

Quicksilver shook his head, "There is no hair gene."

"Speaking of which, the statues outside also look like this kind of hairless cat."

"Although life is miraculous, it should also abide by some basic laws. In such a cold weather, life must find a way to retain its own body temperature in order to survive, so it must be a long-haired creature.

Just like these yaks.

Moreover, I think that in such an environment, it should be small creatures that are more likely to survive.

Less resources are consumed and fewer calories are burned for action.

Even if a creature of this size survives, there is no possibility of forming a scale at all. They can't solve the problem of food alone. ’ said Einstein.

Xia Lian stroked her chin thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, the clothes these aliens wear are also a bit strange, too thin, not so much a civilization born in a world of ice and snow.

It is more like a civilization born in the tropics. "

"We can take these bones back and use the laboratory to analyze the genes of the original organisms, and we should be able to analyze the environment in which this organism evolved." Mercury said.

Xia Lian nodded, "Then take it back."

Tai raised his head and looked at the statue in front of him. His eyes were wide open, and there seemed to be endless anger in his eyes. He held a weapon and seemed to be able to tear his enemies to shreds at any time.

"The god that the pope mentioned is probably this one?" Einstein said, "It looks a bit like some kind of evil god."

Xia Lian didn't speak. He keenly noticed that there was a skeleton under the statue that looked very different.

He maintains a pious kneeling posture, it seems that because of the angle, the skeleton has been supported in this posture.

He stepped forward, and under his body, he found a book made of leather, with something written in a very strange script on it.
