Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 426 Entering the Tower of Babel

However, if we use the geographical and astronomical knowledge known to mankind to identify this coordinate, we will not get any useful location information.This location is not in this world, or even in this universe.

Omega handed the card back and there was no need to delve into these matters at the moment.Maybe it is the real-time coordinates of the people from the Star of Light who are coming, or it may have other meanings.

"The trouble is solved, we can move on."

As Amanda said, by the way, she checked the machines that had failed due to magnetic interference just now, to make sure they could be restored to normal use.

They were very close to entering the underground ruins. After walking through the last slope, an underground entrance covered by a fixed temporary gate appeared in front of everyone.

Due to the impact of the sandstorm just now, a lot of sand and dust has accumulated in the low-lying area in front of the gate, and it needs to be dug up before entering.

The sequence of Chris is Juno, the name of the queen of heaven in Roman mythology, which also corresponds to Hera in Greek mythology.

Although this god governs marriage, it also represents a power only inferior to the natural aura of the universe.Before Ares, people in the Peloponnese would sacrifice to Zeus and Hera after winning battles.In Rome, because it was Juno who covered the newborn God of War with a woolen shawl, woolen decorations became a favorite costume of soldiers, representing the mother's protection.

People believe that this god will bring happy endings to marriages and wars. It is commonly known that the flag you set to go home and get married after the war can come true smoothly.

Therefore, Chris's sequence is actually very similar to stimulants. It is a kind of spiritual uplifting BUFF, and his body can also personally hold a knife to chop people when the sequence is in effect, and then change the probability of success to a certain extent ( Note: This is just the conjecture of some researchers in the academy).

In Amanda's eyes, this ability is the favorite of capitalists, because under the influence of the Juno sequence, the speed of the combat team members digging sand is as fast as civil excavation machines, and they are full of ancient Greek spirit. The unrestrained temperament of Rome.

This ability is probably a mild version of the foreman wielding a whip to improve work efficiency.

Within seven or eight minutes, the dust accumulated in front of the gate was excavated.The dust just now did not damage the physical structure of the door. Qi Wen opened the lock, revealing a dark but wide enough passage inside.

"The generator burned down, so we had to use oil lamps."

Qi Wen checked the previously buried equipment and was a little disappointed. Fortunately, the road in this section of the physical world was not very long.

They had only advanced underground for less than half an hour, and when Amanda clearly felt that she had passed some barrier, they had already arrived at the space where the Tower of Babel was located.

But looking back, they are still in this passage, obviously the soil near the obvious barrier is integrated into one, and there is no obvious difference in geology.

"The ancient people dug tunnels. They may not have realized that they had reached a new space when they passed through a certain distance." Qi Wen pointed to a horizontal line they had marked, and Amanda joined in. I studied it for a while.

But he could only clearly feel the existence of the gap, and could not understand how the two spaces were connected.

Going forward, only a few dozen steps, they turned a corner and a huge underground depression was revealed in front of them.

It is as if a complete basin structure is perfectly embedded in the ground. In the center of the curved surface covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers is a tower-like building that stretches upwards to an "abyss" that is as high as the sky.

The height of this building cannot be determined for the time being. The top is surrounded by invisible ring walls, and there is no light source to illuminate it.

If a person's sense of orientation is not good, when he looks up, he may even feel as if he is hanging upside down in the air and about to fall into the abyss in front of him.

Because of this, it is certain that they are no longer in the real space.If the width and depth can be explained by underground space, then according to normal calculations, the height of this kind of building can already break through the surface. At the ground altitude, it is the highest level of building that humans can build.

Amanda noticed that there were structures similar to orbital platforms extending around the basin, but currently only their platform's orbit was intact, and most of the others were in a broken state.

Qi Wen pointed to the edge of the platform, where parked a mine car with a wider distance between the car bottoms. This was an abandoned car "borrowed" from a nearby mining factory. Anyway, as long as the rail spacing is adjusted to the appropriate length, plus It is more convenient to disassemble the car engine than to run more than ten kilometers on one pair of legs.

When we first tried to explore, more than a dozen people dragged the carriage onto the track together.Now that there is a team of combat troops here, Juno's buff has not yet been reduced, so these tasks are left to them.

This minecart may have been remodeled from the rear end of a certain bus section, and you can also see the high screw holes left after the seats were removed.However, it is difficult to clean up the traces of cinder left by the loaded coal mines.

"So you pushed this thing all the way across the desert and through underground tunnels?"

Amanda felt a little emotional, this thing could accommodate all of them at the same time, and it would not be easy to move here.

Qi Wen said with a smile: "We first changed it back to a pneumatic tire structure, used a car to pull it here, and then changed it to a steel wheel structure that adapts to the track spacing. When disassembling the engine for adaptation, in addition to the steering rod and brake clutch mechanism You need to do your own accidents, the engine location and linkage are all readily available.”

Before this thing, it was really the carriage of a bus.It is estimated that after the development of the automobile industry in recent years, different regions implemented bus services as a test product.

I just don’t know what kind of vehicles were used by the people who built the Tower of Babylon thousands of years ago to drive on these tracks and transport building materials?
Listening to the harsh sound of rough steel wheels scraping on the rails, Amanda looked ahead. The base of the towering tower was getting closer and closer to her, and she was somewhat expecting to see something inside.

Among other things, if a refuge space can really be confirmed, even if tens of thousands of people can be saved, it can be regarded as preserving the fire for the development of human civilization.

Not long after, Qi Wen began to pull the brake lever hard and stopped smoothly before the car hit the front.

In many cases, the physical structure of these old antiques is not much different from that of new products. It is just that under the research of engineers, the operating structure will be optimized and continuously improved to conform to ergonomics.Braking might require just a gentle push of the foot, rather than pulling a half-man-high lever like now.

"Phew - let's get off the bus. Don't look at it. This tower looks like a rustic. It is made of stone. You will be surprised when you climb in."

Qi Wen took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his face couldn't help becoming excited.Although it was not the first time for her to enter this tower, she still couldn't suppress her emotions when she thought of the scene she had seen before.
