Xiling Empire

There are countless fragmented space fragments in this world. Large and small terrestrial rivers and even oceans can be found in each space fragment. In these space fragments, it is often possible to find the civilization ruins left by ancient times. The indigenous peoples of the world vividly call these space fragments "lost worlds". With the development of civilization, these lost worlds have become part of the lives of local indigenous peoples, and even homes of some rare races in this world ...

This is all the information we have until today, related to the "lost world" of this world.

Today, however, an unexpected ancient mystery suddenly emerged from these lost worlds that didn't seem strange at all. Everything was confusing and clueless. People couldn't catch any important points, but they were only exposed. All kinds of facts have made everyone's spirits very high: intuition tells everyone that we are touching an unprecedented secret.

And this secret points directly to the largest cornerstone of the new empire: the parent star Gaia in the fifteenth day zone of the old empire.

The surface of the boulder square on which the Sky Tower is located is engraved with lines passed down from ancient times. At first, no one noticed these crooked stone grooves until Lin Xue accidentally put his "sight" on the entire sky. I only saw the full picture of these lines on the tower. In the monitoring room of the Sky Tower, the ancient notches on the square coincide exactly with the space silhouette of the mother star Gaia's western hemisphere: In fact, this broken world and The nearest frontiers of the old empire's ruling areas are separated by a void "distance" that is beyond description.

If it is said that this is just confusing "information record problem". Then we discovered something even more incredible. The hanging river that everyone just visited by boat an hour ago is exactly the same in shape and size as a river on the parent star Gaia. The ancient garden we visited before corresponds exactly to a large area in the northern hemisphere of Gaia. grassland. This "not bad" is not just that the outline can correspond to that simple, but it includes every surface undulation and detail in the entire area, so just comparing the two places, we are absolutely sure that they are exactly the same .

Since the empire fell asleep, the parent star Gaia has stopped geological evolution-the artificial planet made by the empire has such a function. When the system is in standby, everything on the entire planet will be frozen in order to prevent accidents when the next system restarts, so to this day, the parent star Gaia still maintains the landscape of the last day before the collapse of the old empire. And the "lost world ..." in this remote universe

"Also hasn't evolved," Sandora released a group of probes ten minutes ago to collect data on the flow of information in this small piece of the lost world where the Tower of Sky is located, and now came to a conclusion. However, this conclusion did not make her slightly happier, "Actually, you can think of it without detection. The lost world is built in space debris. It lacks the dynamics of change than a geocentrically cooled rocky planet, and it can be maintained here for tens of millions of years. It looks like it—unless the entire floating land is weathered. "

"It hasn't changed here, it's the same with Gaia," Angel Sister still murmured with the natural look, "that is to say, these lost worlds are like snapshots, preserving their original appearance. They When it was born, Gaia was asleep. Basically that's it. "

Sandora and Arayer are demonstrating only one problem, and that is regardless of Gaia. Even the lost world here has not caused geological changes in a long time. The matching of their characteristics is completely unquestionable, and points directly to the only possibility:

"The lost world is the broken parent star," Sandora concluded.

"It's getting more and more unbelievable," Bingtis frowned. "Fantastic, very ridiculous. Sandorla, I know this is your housework, but I can't help but want to interject: You do n’t even remember the stuff here? "

Sandola glanced at Bingtis. This question has been asked several times in the past ten minutes, and she is too lazy to answer each other now. Sister Bing didn't care, she was thinking about another thing: "Okay, just make sure of one thing: the mother star Gaia is now intact in your shadow space, without any scratches, just removed The packaging is the same. And here it appears ... now it is certain that there are two, which are 100% consistent with some landforms on the parent star Gaia, the hanging river and the ancient garden, will they come from a replica? Maybe old Someone copied the fifteen-day mother star in the imperial era, and threw it to the place where the bird didn't shit. Later, I didn't know what happened. The replica planet was blown up, and the debris was everywhere ... "

"It's even more damn," I tilted Bingtis. "But that's the fifteen-day district capital star, saying that copying is copying? And Gaia himself knows nothing about it? Do you think anyone can know it? Does the ghost unconsciously make a copy of the Father's Temple and throw it into the void to blow it up? "

Bingtis thought for a while, and thought that he felt that he was not reliable, so he shut up decisively and drew a circle next to it.

"Now, Jun, I have an idea, can you say that?" Qian Qian suddenly dragged my sleeve and whispered. Me: "... you say."

Although she is good at speaking amazing words most of the time, she has to admit that her detached thinking often hits the point with strange accuracy. The idea that is not bound by common sense has infinite potential. I am also curious. Just think of something.

"Let's go and see other lost worlds?" Thinking for a moment, nodding his fingers and saying, "I remember the statistics of the lost worlds here at first, and conservatively estimate that they are all the size of several mother stars. There is only one parent star, so there must be some fragments that ca n’t be matched with Gaia. In addition, even the land fragments that can match the parent star, there are actually many different places? For example, in the ancient garden We haven't seen it on the parent star. We all drilled into the horns of the horns in those same places too. It seems that we can look for different places if we ignore them-maybe we can find the answer from them? "

I was surprised to see Shallow, surprised at the rapid progress of my lovely girlfriend's intelligence, and pinched the other's nose with pleasure: "Girl, I almost forgot about it! You How do you remember? "

As shallow as embarrassed, with a little pride proudly: "I played for half a night yesterday, everyone came to find out ..."

For a moment, the surrounding air was frozen, and Bettis laughed twice, and continued to circle on the ground: she was almost out of the groundwater.

It is unrealistic to detect all the space debris of this messy world at the same time, but the lost world connected to the mother continent at the same time is not a small number. There are at least dozens of them, with these bases you can start a larger-scale exploration. Now no one is holding the mentality of traveling in mountains and mountains ... well, well, except for some really heartless guys, such as the Protoss quintessence group and a bunch of doll heads, others are no longer Then hold the mentality of traveling around. So we acted quickly, starting with a sufficient number of probes. Let these agile little guys take our place to other lost worlds. This does not take long, but it is more troublesome to transfer: it must be teleported from the sky tower to the suspended river. Return to the motherland from the suspended river. From the projection points around the mother continent, you will travel to various space debris. But the probes have the ability to jump, and the problem we don't care about most is the distance. And we have to get this world-wide periodic calendar from Senna, this calendar summarized by countless explorer predecessors can let us directly grasp the time and place where most of the lost world is connected to the mother continent. Already.

"The probe has already begun, but it will take some time for some worlds to open," Sandola flipped through the periodical calendar on her hand. "I may get all the information at night or early tomorrow. Now we have a while. Continue searching for this tower? "

I looked at the sky tower projected by Alaya, which is an extremely large building. And even Alye, only half of what can be found under the Sky Tower. What we have found so far is certainly only a small part, and in any case, it seems necessary to continue exploring.

"Continue," I exhaled. "A tower like this cannot be a place to put a monitor. It collects so much energy. It always needs to be useful. My goal is to keep these towers above the sky. The shadow area scanned by the method. "

The upper level of the Sky Tower is a place that is not accessible by Alaya's current visitor rights. There may be higher alert levels and even defensive facilities that cannot be closed. If it is a defensive facility made by ordinary civilization, we can naturally ignore it, but they It's the creation of the old empire—then we should pay attention. But naturally, everyone will not give up because of this little danger, but just out of caution, I still looked at Senna and Sona: "Then we will go to an unknown area, where we can't even figure out, Do you still follow me? "

"Is it dangerous," Sona glanced at me, then nodded firmly, "It doesn't matter, the half-dragons are not afraid of danger!"

"Rest assured," Sakina said more straightly. "Anyway, you are all very good. When that happens, Sona and I will hide for the first time."

I put my eyes on the sister-in-law again. My cheap sister is the one with the lowest combat effectiveness among us. Although she is also studying in the military academy, she is still very weak after all, and her specialty is still a daddy's maid ... ...

"Don't worry about me, my elder brother," Sister-in-law smiled confidently, Yingzi said cheerfully. "Maid-style arcane charge combat and maid-style heavy fire bombing techniques are prepared for this kind of scene!"

But none of them sounded like maids! What did An Weina write in the textbook!

Arayer used the crystal cluster to initiate the final teleportation and sent everyone to the highest level of the Sky Tower she could visit. This teleportation took significantly longer, usually just a flash of white light, but this time I felt The transmission beam lasted for a few seconds, and it is clear that a surviving scanning system is still identifying the level of the visitor. When the white light had dissipated, we found ourselves here ... into a large forest.

Surrounded by lush shrubs and vines, the towering giant trees are everywhere. This is exactly what a primitive forest looks like! It's just that we haven't seen all the plants. Not only the shape is different from common plants, but even the leaves are not the green of ordinary plants, but a cold steel blue color is mixed in dark green. A breeze blew from nowhere, and the branches in the forest rustled with a crisp sound like a golden iron symphony.

What a strange place, what a strange plant.

"Forest ?!" Sahina screamed in surprise, looking at the towering ancient trees and lush bushes and vines. "How could it be a forest? Isn't it in the tower ... have we been teleported outside?"

"No. It's still inside the tower, you look at it." Sandor retorted, pointing his finger upwards.

Through the lush foliage above the head, you can dimly see the "sky", with blue sky, white clouds, and a warm sun. There is also a display showing "The current ecological index is good, and there are seventy-two days before winter".

"The sky was made with a holographic projection. In fact, it was a dome." Araiye flew up to the sky, bumped through a bunch of branches, dropped a bunch of feathers, and touched the "sky", her voice It came from a high altitude, and was magnified with the help of magical power to hear it clearly here. Then we saw a huge square gap suddenly appearing in the sky, and a large complex metal pattern was exposed from the back of the gap. "I interfered in part of the projection, this is the roof of the tower."

Allayer then resumed the sky projection—the sky suddenly looked like weirdly missing an exposed ceiling.

"Wow-click-click!" After a loud noise. The angel sister fell in front of me with loose feathers and rotten leaves, and weeds on my head: "Brother Monarch. I'm back." The tone is particularly bland, which is a typical habit.

She has become accustomed to doing what she usually does, and she gets jumped by her clumsy dogs ...

I stepped forward to help this stupid guy pick the straw stick on his head and wings, and Sandora completed the retrieval of the surrounding environment, frowning and saying, "It's almost as expected, the space here has been expanded, The entire floor is a huge ecological zone, full of light, air, water circulation, and fine-tuning of the magnetic field ... etc., the life forms here are not right, not just the shape ... they are different from the plants on the mother continent! "

Sandora said, creating a holographic projection in the air showing a small sample of bark she had collected.

"Looking at these fibers, there are many crystal structures in the middle instead of cell tissue. This phenomenon is not found in the indigenous plants of this world." Sandora pointed to the magnified area on the holographic projection, and I saw a creature like a crystal grid organization.

This is just a matter of detail, but for now, any detail cannot be ignored, and Sandora's discovery made me a little concerned. According to the information we currently have, the animals and plants growing in the "lost world" of this world have a ancestral relationship with the mother continent. That is to say, even if they are completely different species, they have the same life expression. Multicellular organisms, no matter what kind of animal or plant, are made up of cells. In this world, the species that grow in the lost world are still composed of cells even if they are strange. But the plants that grow in the space of this tower are different from everything on the mother continent, and their structural basis turns out to be a crystal-obviously, they come from another life that is not homologous with any existing plants on the mother continent system.

"It's something on the parent star," Arayer studied it, and concluded, "this crystal structure is unique to the parent star plant."

"That is to say, this layer holds ecological samples on the parent star Gaia?" The sister thought of a possibility.

"Not necessarily," Araiye threw away the straw stick in his hand. "I can only be sure that these plants are homologous to the parent plant on the basis of life, but their specific species ... I first saw them. The trees, and these vines, are all missing from the mother star. "

Everyone's mind once again raised the question that has been launched countless times today: Why?

Why do you see a species that is homologous to the parent plant but has never been seen at a glance?

"Arayer, your name appears again."

There was a voice from Monina in the distance. She just ran out to check the situation. Now she has made a new discovery.

On a small piece of open space 100 meters away, Monina found a metal circular platform. This metal circular platform may be one of the monitoring points of the ecological area. On the holographic projection next to the circular platform, we saw the name of Alaya again. : She is the chief designer of this floor called the "first ecological dome". I have seen a similar situation before, but this time I was a lot less surprised. Look at Angel Sister, the other person's face is not less confused than others, and naturally she does not need to ask.

"I don't remember ~ www.readwn.com ~ I haven't seen anything here." Angel sister said very simply.

"Okay, let's continue to other places." I know that I can only harvest one question after another, but I decided to move on. "Araiye, you can find a way to transfer to the upper floor. What? "

After this level, the visitor rights of Alaya are no longer available, and the part above the Sky Tower is completely out of control for us. On the lower floor, you can teleport through the crystal cluster at will, but if you go up, it may not be so simple.

"It can be teleported, but not sure what's there," Araiye called up her model of the Holy Light again, and the red patches representing the crowd's location have stayed at the edge of the shadow area marked with "ndata". The coding method is universal, and you can go anywhere on the input floor, but we may have to face the guards in the core area. "

The issue of guards is no longer needed, as long as I can teleport, I'm relieved.

No matter what comes before, there is only one thing to do now ...

"A man can go up to 100 floors!" (To be continued)
