Steel Chambers of War

Rong Xiang’s exploration is still going on. He was curiously studying these planetary thrusters located in the South Pole, and then he suddenly thought of something and asked Rose: “Calculate, if you want to push a planet out of the star’s gravity, you can only rely on it. Are there enough planetary thrusters here?"

Rose answered almost without pause: "It is far from enough. The entire southern hemisphere needs at least two hundred planetary thrusters to provide sufficient power, and there should be a circle of thrusters used to control the direction in the circumequal area as an auxiliary. Row."

"But when we made a full scan of this planet just now, we found nothing." Rong Xiang said, and then said: "The outside temperature is minus 143 degrees Celsius. It's really cold... The soil test results came out. Is it?"

　　 "Wait a minute, the last few parameters are compared... OK, the soil here is very poor, but accidentally found a lot of radioactive traces, it seems that there has been a very serious nuclear radiation here." Rose said.

　　 "Where are the sampling results elsewhere?" Rong Xiang asked again.

　　 "Similar, very strange. There are almost no metal elements in the soil of all places on this planet, but there are traces of radiation... The problem here is very big." The rose's voice also revealed doubts.

　　 Rong elephant patted the wall of the planetary thruster next to it and said: "If your detection is OK, then it is indeed a big problem, because there is such a large piece of metal in front of us..."

　　 Then the problem is serious. It seems that the man-made signs inside are very serious, and if this is really the case, my civilization here seems to be not that simple.

　　 He walked quickly forward, passing through the ruins of planetary propellers, and saw many collapsed propeller buildings and many abandoned settlements. Then he found a very special piece of metal under the scan of the rose...or it should be said that it was a metal statue, a black metal statue resembling a lizardman, lifelike as if the statue could open its eyes at any time to come alive.

"Is this the image of the intelligent life in this civilization? The statues left in the ruins should be their works of art... It seems that this should be an intelligent life evolved from reptiles, and they have an effect on metal The processing technology of this statue is good. The metal of this statue is an alloy that we have not seen before. The composition is very complicated and requires specific analysis functions." Rose said that she has already begun to scan the statue.

But Rong Xiang shook his head and ignored her. Instead, the perception controlled by the super-electricity was turned on. Some extraordinary situations were found in this ruin... I saw his hands shake, and a large number of metal fragments flew up in the ruins. , And then dozens, hundreds and thousands of metal statues floated from the ruins! Their shapes are different. If you compare them carefully, you can't even see any two identical existences, and the postures of the sculptures are also different... Rong Xiang's mood is very subtle. You can see these poses in the ruins. All kinds of statues in the posture before dying, it feels like what he pulled out is a corpse!

　　 "Rong Xiang!" At this time, Rose exclaimed, she immediately projected a light screen in front of Rong Xiang's eyes and said: "In these metal'statues', there are biological organ structures!"

The light screen shows the image of the'statue' they picked up first, but at this time it shows a perspective view... It is really visible to the naked eye, and there is still in the body of this'statue' A complete life structure!

　　 "Are they...were they directly poured and sealed with metal?" Rong Xiang thought that these ‘statues’ were so lifelike, he couldn’t help feeling a little bitter in his heart. But he felt that something was wrong again. It seemed that even if someone wanted to do cruel things, he couldn't guilty of pouring so many corpses in metal?

"No, their organs are also full of metal reactions... So unless the intelligent life in this civilization is so boring and willing to sculpt these details, or these so-called'sculptures' are what we have been looking for here. Intelligent life on this planet!" Rose gave her conclusion. Although it sounds incredible, it seems to be the closest to the truth from the information currently available.

　　 "Metal life?" Rong Xiang felt incredible. He asked, "Then there is no residual biomass in their bodies?"

　　 "These alloys can hinder my biodetectors unless we open one of them for an ‘dissection’ study." Rose said coldly. Even if it is a rose, it is very indifferent to this kind of thing... Human beings can re-emerge in the starry sky through hardships, it is natural to have experienced an unknown number of times of "picking up trash" and dissecting alien corpses. Therefore, every human being takes this kind of thing very lightly. Otherwise, how could the imperial civilization that human beings live in is almost only dominated by humans?

　　"Let's take a look at it~www.readwn.com~ Rong Xiang naturally has no opinion on this.

　　 But he doesn't need him to perform specific operations. Naturally, collection robots will come here to collect corpse samples. Rongxiang and Rose continued to penetrate into this planetary propeller community... As they got deeper and deeper, they saw more and more metal lizard human corpses. They were all like metal statues that looked lifelike but practical. But there is no sign of life on it.

　　 And the closer to the center of the largest planetary thruster, Rong Xiang also saw a complete urban structure. These metal lizardmen are actually building cities around the super reactor of the planetary thruster, seemingly not afraid of the terrifying radiation and heat released from the super reactor?

"Of course they are not afraid. In fact, after my scans and simulations, this super reactor has no isolation measures at all..." Rose said something amazing: "In other words, this reactor directly uses the infinite heat generated when it operates. And radiation are discharged into this city!"

　　 "One more thing." Rong Xiang also said after observation: "It seems that the corpses in the periphery of the city are very thin, and the closer the corpse is to the city core, the stronger and taller the corpse?"

　　 "Just kidding, this is a kind of life that survives on radiation and high temperatures?" Rose, as an artificial intelligence that should have been calm, was the first to ‘lost his intelligence’ and exclaimed.

Let the robots do a thorough search. I feel that there should be something of value to us in this completed city... Maybe the level of technology of this civilization is not as good as that of humans, but I think they are definitely an alternative life form It has its advantages.
