Chapter 435
Before the Shadow Chasers entered the Tower of Babel, Shull threw one of Moria's acorns far away into the soil outside the tower. At that time, they seemed to be just playing with each other, and the machines didn't care. As for those mechanical beasts, they will not react to the fruit of a plant. According to Moria, they are not Shuer, so how can they react to plants.

When everyone entered the Tower of Babel, and the focus of the mechanical bodies had shifted to the shadow chasers and pilgrims inside the tower, no one noticed that the acorn outside the tower suddenly cracked, and a An unknown seed fell out of the acorn, then sank into the soil, quickly took root and sprouted, and turned into a tiny vine in the blink of an eye.

Soon, among the mechanical beasts crawling and patrolling, there was an inconspicuous vine swimming like a lively animal. Although the speed was slow, it never stopped. Even the surveillance cameras all around the tower Equipment, all ignored the plant that kept changing its position, allowing it to easily approach the outer wall of the tower, and then began to climb upward.

In fact, there are many surveillance equipment and defensive weapons outside the tower, but there are also many climbing plants. The outer wall of the tower is not metal but stone. It is difficult to prevent the growth of plants, and there is no need to prevent the growth of plants. After all, in this world, there has never been a precedent for plants to obey the orders of living creatures and become their helpers. No matter how careful the mechanical body is, it would never have thought that there would be a strange half-plant, half-living creature like a forest spirit in Parvatiga.
As a result, the vines, as Moria's eyeliner, began to penetrate the top of the tower. This was also the backup plan that the Shadow Chasers had prepared long ago.Before entering the tower, Shuer had already thought that the machine would probably not allow them to get to the top. If they rushed up by force, they would inevitably have a head-on battle with the machine.

This is not a good choice. It is too dangerous to be attacked by thousands of machines. Moreover, when Wei checked the city network of machines, she once saw information about giant metal puppets in their information database. Those seven- to eight-meter-tall giant puppets will suppress the Shadow Chasers in terms of strength and defense. Coupled with heavy energy weapons that are much more advanced than Parvatiga, once a war begins, the number of people may really be reduced. .

Therefore, the Shadowchasers have made a backup plan, and everyone will attract attention while negotiating positively internally, and the real explorer is actually Moria's vine, so that as long as one of the two sides successfully climbs to the top, it will be fine, after all. The top floor of the tower is not a sealed structure, so it is not difficult to enter.

However, no one expected that Moriya would say such a thing and still climb up. What the hell is this?
"What is the environment around you now?" Shuer asked with a frown, "Has there been any change?"

"Environment?" Moria looked around blankly, "There are a group of people around me, and there is an idiot asking me what the surrounding environment is... Oops."

Shuer expressionlessly withdrew the fist that he hit on the head of this stupid deer regardless of the occasion, and said angrily: "Speak seriously, now is not the time to cause trouble."

"Okay, okay, actually the environment is quite strange." Moria covered her head in grievance and said with a grimace, "Visually, I'm floating in the air, and I can't see any objects around me at all, let alone Not to mention the obvious tall tower, you can see the top of the tower when you look down, which is no different from what we see from below. But from the touch, I can confirm that the vines are clinging to the entity, and they are still going up. Extension, that is to say, the Tower of Babel is definitely not as tall as what we see, it is at least twice as tall as the tower we see."

"What the hell, is it an illusion?" Shuer frowned and thought for a moment, "Mia, is there a similar spell that can do it?"

"The spells are similar, but it's difficult to achieve such perfection." The mountain elf's voice came from the empty position. In fact, the two mages did not stay outside the tower, but followed Shadow Chaser all the time. Beside them, "Some powerful legendary mages can indeed use spells to hide or cover part of their mage towers, but either they are completely invisible, or it is obvious that the mage towers are incomplete and hidden like this." If you remove part of it and then create a false appearance to replace the original image, so that no one can see the flaw, I’m afraid no one can do it.”

"Huh, can't illusions work too?" Xiure's fingers tapped his thighs faster and faster. He didn't know when the Supreme Master Brain would appear. Once the Supreme Master Brain appeared, it would be difficult to discuss as freely as now, otherwise it would be too rude. But if he doesn't figure out what's going on in advance, he will probably lose the initiative in subsequent negotiations. No wonder he is getting more and more impatient, "Wei, is it possible for your technology to be realized?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, it is possible, but we have not made similar equipment." Wei's indifferent voice sounded like a divine voice in Shu'er at this time, "If nothing else, it should be holographic projection technology advanced application methods.”

"Very good, you're right, that's it." Shuer nodded seriously, "But it's best to say it again in a language we can understand."

"Your Excellency, Commander!" Wei's voice once again contained subtle disdain, "If you don't understand, please don't mislead the artificial intelligence's judgment."

"Ahem, Wei, time is tight, don't change the topic and answer the question."

Obviously, a capable female soldier must have punched and kicked the commander's projection in the virtual space again: "In the past, during the era of interstellar development, similar technology was often used. When a colony ship landed on a new planet, An outpost colony will be established for the first batch of colonists to develop a new planet. Since most planets are not habitable planets, the colony will often build a fully enclosed ecological dome, and only adjust the interior of the dome to a livable environment. , so as not to affect the survival of the colonists."

"But there are also big problems in doing so. Due to the limited space, the colonists cannot move freely. In addition, they are far away from the parent star, and they are prone to psychological problems. In this closed environment, once someone has psychological problems, it is likely to lead to disaster. Consequences of Sex.”

"Therefore, the ecological domes at that time often came with a holographic simulation system, and the outer wall of the dome simulated an environment similar to that of the home planet, such as blue sky and white clouds. Although the colonists knew that these were fake, the vision was still After being deceived, your heart will naturally change. You will be much more relaxed than before, and your psychological problems will be greatly reduced." "You said you didn't use it before, that is, later on?" Shuer asked strangely, "This method is very humane. Hua, why did you give up using it?"

"Because in modern times, oh, the modern times of my home world, the technology of livable transformation has accelerated greatly. It often only takes a few months to initially transform a planet to meet the basic living needs of the colonists. , so there is no need to use biodomes and holographic displays anymore.”

"Okay." Xiure rubbed his nose and thought his question was stupid.

"Of course, that is just one application method of holographic display. There are many other methods. The tower described by the Commander should be one of them. In fact, the tower that the Commander saw was just a projection. It is an illusion, but it overlaps with the tower in reality, so it is impossible to distinguish the essence of the illusion. The upper part of the tower is simulated to look like a blue sky and white clouds, thus deceiving everyone's observation."

"In other words, only the tower is fake?" Shuer asked, "Are all the other things we saw real?"

"I can't judge, Your Excellency Commander. I am not equipped with suitable observation equipment and cannot observe things at such a distance. I can only say that at least everything around us, such as the ground, plants, and these tables and chairs, are all real. of."

"Then it cannot be ruled out that the City in the Sky and the Tower of Babel actually exist in one... what is it called... oh, exist in an ecological dome?"

"It's still impossible to tell, Commander, I can only say that there is a possibility, but it is unlikely." Wei said uncertainly, "Generally, ecological domes will only set up holographic displays on the ecological walls, and never separate them. There is a precedent for hiding a tower. It is illogical and unnecessary. It is more likely that there is some secret in this tower that they must hide."

"I think this is very likely." Shuer squinted his eyes and thought, "Moback, do you still remember your geological inspection?"

"Of course I remember, captain." Moback stroked his beard and said in a rough voice, "Yes, the soil distribution is too standard, and the standard is a bit fake."

"Well, if you think about it carefully, it is difficult for a naturally occurring soil layer to guarantee such a standard. If the soil layer is man-made, it can be explained." Shuer looked at Delia and finally decided that it would be wrong to continue talking to her. Concealed, "Not only the soil layer, if this is really in a man-made space, many things can be explained."

"For example, why can't communication occur between cities? It's not because there are machines blocking the way, but because humans can't leave the Eco-Dome at all. Why aren't even machines allowed to leave the coverage of the Tower of Babel? Because they don't know this is a In a closed space, once you leave the range, the truth will be revealed. Why is there a flight ban on mechanical bodies? Because the aircraft cannot fly too high or too far, otherwise it will break the dome. "

"But Shuer, something doesn't make sense." Safu said timidly, "The floating city flew so high, but it didn't break the dome."

"Maybe it's because the height of the dome itself is higher than the floating city."

"But, then there is no need to cover the upper part of the tower." Saff looked at Shuer's expression and retorted cautiously, "I still can't explain why I did this, and who did it? Woolen cloth?"

Xiure was silent. Indeed, his guess might have some truth, but there were too many questions that could not be explained.

"I..." Shuer suddenly stopped and quickly dispersed from the isolation field. At the same time, Militi also put away the lingering black energy, because the door through which the centers exited had been opened again, and the little girl's thinking center reopened. Came in.
