Hao Ren made everyone including Vivian wait behind, and then he pinched ASanbaA toward the golden disk. He knew that this thing could be called the most bizarre creation of Plane of Dreams, so it is always right to be careful.
He came to the artifact without fear.
The gold disc is mounted on a huge metal pedestal, and around the metal pedestal you can see a lot of pipes, cables, steel columns and the like. These debris extend to the floor to let the whole device see It looks like a weird altar with a scientific style. Around the gold disc, you can see a circle of slightly luminous metal band. When the Hao Ren approaches, the metal ring seems to shine, but there is no more reaction.
"It seems to be broken," ASanbaA checked the energy flow in the pipes and cables around the metal round table. "This thing was supposed to be an amplifier-like thing that could broadcast the information of the golden disk to the entire fleet— —But now the whole device is silent. ”
Hao Ren nodded gently, carefully leaning his hand towards the surface of the disc.
However nothing happened.
A warm, non-metallic touch came from his fingertips, but he did not read any information from the artifact as he did last time. It seems that this disc is just an ordinary goddess creation, and it does not carry any extra information.
ASanbaA flew around the disc and checked it several times to confirm that there were no dangerous factors before declaring all safety. Nangong brothers and sisters and Lily came together curiously. Lily pulled the sleeve of Hao Ren with a happy expression: "It's alright Ah?, let's pick up the baby again?"
Vivian said from afar: "What, can I pass now?"
Hao Ren glanced back a little bit crying and found that Vivian was standing far from the entrance of the hall, with a thoughtful expression looking at the lively but afraid of getting into trouble. He beckoned at the door: "Come on, it's better not to touch this thing, be careful to drive a thousand years boat."
Vivian trot happily and whispered in his arms: "So it is this thing that protects the Ark Fleet from all the way to the chase? As such, the breath of the golden disk can disperse the mad guardians? "
"Uh ..." Hao Ren agreed at random, and began to curiously check the metal pedestal under the disc, wondering what other functions this device has in addition to using the disc as a signal source, but before he found something, ASanbaA suddenly found something: "Wait a minute, partner, there is a place below."
"Below?" Hao Ren froze.
ASanbaA flew to the corner of the pedestal suddenly, hitting a protruding metal rod with his body-originally everyone thought it was an ornament, but ASanbaA knocked it down at once, and then a slight mechanical friction sound Then came from below the round table!
"Squeaky--", accompanied by a series of gears and motor friction, the gold disc was slowly erected, while the black metal pedestal below split a gap from the middle and slowly opened to both sides. . Hao Ren stared at all this with a stunned look. After this ancient mechanical device finally calmed down, a channel about five or six meters wide and inclined downward appeared in front of him.
There ’s no such thing under here!
Vivian habitually threw a little bat under the passage to explore the way. After a while she nodded: "Safety, it is a corridor, there are no traps."
"Everyone, be careful." Hao Ren said as he propped up the shield and walked forward. He hesitated looking at the golden disk before entering the passage, but he was n’t sure if it affected the ark Other sensitive systems, so he did not rush to recycle it, but left a self-discipline machine here to protect the scene.
All the members of the team walked down the old staircase and walked far before reaching the end of the staircase. In front of them was a wide corridor, and the light was dim, but as Hao Ren stepped on the floor of the corridor, the lights next to him suddenly turned on, lighting the whole corridor brightly as daylight.
Compared to the refuge city on the ground that is about to turn into a garbage dump, the corridor in front of everyone is brand new and abnormal, no garbage, no damage, no scars, everything except thick dust here Very good. There is no doubt that the residents on the surface do not know this place at all. I am afraid there has been no visits for at least a few hundred years.
"There should be no such facility on other arks." Hao Ren mumbled, because the builders of this place used the golden disk as the entrance to the entire facility, so this place may have an extraordinary meaning. He walked along the promenade, and suddenly felt something stepped on his foot. Looking down, he found it was a slap-sized plastic card.
He picked up the card and saw the words "Final Vault" written on it, as well as his name and position, which turned out to be a staff identification card.
"'Final Vault'?" Vivian glanced over and looked, "What kind of storage?"
Hao Ren shook his head: "God knows."
At this time, the Lily running in front suddenly greeted from afar: "Eh! Come and see this!"
Hao Ren hurried over, he saw what Lily discovered: it was a small skeleton, face down on the corner of the wall, the clothes worn by the owner of this skeleton had been rotten into a few pieces of rags , Can only vaguely see that once was a white costume.
This is the second "prehistoric remains" he saw in the ark, and is obviously a child.
"Children?" Vivian frowned, "How can children die in such a secret facility?"
ASanbaA drifted over to examine the condition of the bones and quickly analyzed a lot of information: "According to the human standards of the Ark, the age of death should be between 12 and 13 years old. The cause of death was short-term exposure to large doses of radiation. "
"Radiation to death?" Hao Ren first thought of the adult human remains found in the control room. He remembered that the ark administrator died of a chronic disease that slowly corroded the skull. Of, "Not a disease?"
"You mean that the person in the control room has a strange disease?" ASanbaA knows what Hao Ren is referring to, "No. The child's death time was about eight hundred years ago, and the 'captain' in the control room's The time of death was about nine hundred years ago, and the difference between the two people was a hundred years. Um ... The people in the control room did not have any signs of radiation to death, but there is this in front of me. The machine estimates that the radiation leakage of the reactor was eight hundred years ago. It happened between nine hundred years ago. "
"The one in the control room should be the last captain of the ark," Hao Ren frowned slightly, and vaguely felt that he had caught something. "After he died, no one should enter the control room anymore. . But a hundred years after his death, a child died in this place ... "
After inspecting the small body, the group continued to walk deep into the corridor. They passed through several doors in succession, passing through some structures like disinfection rooms, inspection channels, and isolation rooms. Eventually they came to a special gate. This gate is wider than every previous gate, and has a sophisticated and complicated locking device. There is no doubt that this is the deepest part of the entire facility.
Hao Ren vaguely judged the distance he traveled, thinking that this location has greatly passed the outer shell of the refuge city, and may even have passed through the ark cabin where the giant fusion furnace is located (the evidence is that there is no radiation here ), It should be an empty cabin hidden between the ship ’s city and the Ark ’s shell, and according to the freshness of the various facilities here, it was rebuilt after many years of the Ark ’s sailing-its construction history may not exceed A thousand years.
The locking mechanism of the gate can still be used, so with the assistance of ASanbaA, Hao Ren normally opened the gate in front of it. As the two thick metal plates slowly receded to the sides, a huge silver-white space appeared in front of everyone.
This is a large cylindrical section with a diameter of perhaps 100 meters. The upper and lower heights are difficult to judge with the naked eye. In this cylindrical cabin section, a large number of silver-white metal boxes with a length of not more than 1.5 meters fixed by brackets are neatly arranged. All these metal boxes and brackets are secured by a complex set of robotic arms Hold firmly and hang in the air in the cylindrical cabin. A wide, long, hollow bridge runs through this cabin, Hao Ren They are now standing at the starting point of the long bridge.
"I'm a le ..." Lily looked up at the countless metal boxes arranged neatly, dragging the tone, "Wang ..."
Hao Ren looks around. He thinks that the metal boxes hanging in the air are definitely not fixed. As expected, he soon discovered that there was a device like a console not far away. (To be continued.)
