Hao Ren walked along the sky bridge and came to the thing that was suspected of the console. He saw that this was a shiny and new device with no buttons on it, but a whole silver-white metal panel that was as bright as a mirror. He reached out and touched the edge of the panel and found that there was no trace of dust on the thing.

Not only this control panel, in fact, there is no dust in the entire cylindrical space. The last gate that everyone passed before should have strict dustproof isolation performance, and this space should also have a dust removal device, no doubt. This location is the real storage location of the "final vault".

"What is this?" Lily asked over curiously.

"It should be the manual controllers of those manipulators," Hao Ren looked up at the neatly arranged metal supports and rectangular containers in the cylindrical space, and the slides and manipulators connecting those things, while reaching out to touch the control panel The eye-catching light green indicator line next to it, "According to experience in the control room, this touch screen should just touch here to activate ... Oh, right."

Under his touch, a series of complex and changing geometric figures emerged on the silver-white metal plate, and then these geometric figures slowly stabilized to form an initial interactive interface. Unsurprisingly, the operating system is locked and requires identification to enter, but this controller does not seem to use the mechanical key that the Ark Captain carries with him, it requires a password.

A password like this ca n’t help ASanbaA. The latter floats to the console and connects itself to the control panel with a blue beam. The screen on the panel immediately shows a lot of interference spots, within a few seconds The system was cracked and a simple and easy-to-understand operation window popped up. Hao Ren tried to activate some of the above functions. The neatly arranged containers in the cylindrical space immediately moved. One row of brackets was lowered from high altitude and steadily stopped next to the long bridge in the sky, while the rectangular metal boxes suspended above Following the slideway, it was stuck on the groove next to the railing of the long bridge, and with a few "chirp" sounds, these containers opened.

Lily immediately ran over to check. She saw that the metal box was empty. Only empty tubes and a viscous liquid remained in the empty container.

"What are these things?" Vivian also went to check the condition in the metal box, she felt a little inexplicable.

“It ’s a dormant cabin—I guess, but it ’s ten or nine,” Hao Ren said slowly. “These are all dormant cabins, totaling 150,000.”

"Dormancy cabin?" Vivian is no stranger to this term, but she looked at the models of metal boxes, and she always felt a little wrong. "Is this a bit smaller?"

"Because these are for children." Hao Ren walked over with ASanbaA. The latter had already synchronized data with the console on the long bridge, and took over all the functions of the console easily. It turns on the holographic projection, which shows the data read from the console.

A list was opened, hundreds of thousands of avatars jumped onto the projection, and quickly moved down Roll-every avatar is a child.

"The oldest is no more than thirteen years old, the youngest is only three years old," Hao Ren pointed to the projection above ASanbaA, which was extracted along with the list of people ’s photos, and some basic information of the vault, such as the system The diary, "This final vault holds children in a dormant state. It has been built 892 years from today, and the last time it opened was 815 years ago."

"Is it that the ice has been frozen in the middle for decades ..." Nangong Wuyue poked the viscous liquid in the metal box with the tip of the tail, confirming that this is a substance that can maintain biological activity at low temperatures, " The key to the question is why there are only children-where have all the adults gone? "

"Remember the last captain I saw in the control room before?" Hao Ren raised his eyelids. "He died of a chronic disease that caused his skull to slowly erode. I suspect all Of adults die from this disease, leaving only children. "

"But we only found the bone," Nangong Wuyue's tail tip bent, "How do you know that other adults have encountered the same thing?"

Hao Ren thought about this problem just now and speculated: "Do you think a person with this terminal illness can continue to be the captain of the Ark? And this disease is very slow, and there are enough people on the Ark Time to choose a healthy new captain, but they did not. The last captain died of illness on the post. There is only one explanation: they have no choice. There is no healthy candidate at all. Everyone is sick. And here ... … "

Hao Ren pointed to the numerous silver and white metal boxes arranged neatly in the air: "Children are not sick. This is the reason why the last ark was civilized."

He knows that these claims have more than half of the guesses, but these guesses are fully valid, and he ca n’t think of other more reliable reasons. It's just that he hasn't been able to explain the more fundamental question: how did this weird and suspicious terminal illness come from? Why are only the children alive? When the captain of the Ark of the Qunluan led all the subjects to death, the other arks were normal. Did this disease come out of thin air?

And there is a problem that is more suspicious than bizarre diseases: how did these humans with low technological level get the artifact of the Goddess of Creation, and they also designed a simple yet Effective amplification system?

"Is there anything else in the database?" Hao Ren knocked on the shell of ASanbaA, "Person's diary, audio recording, video recording, anything."

ASanbaA is communicating with the host of this "ultimate vault". It does its best to extract all the residues from this old system, but it is only a warehouse after all, and there is not much useful information. Finally, ASanbaA found the most valuable information, which is a few pieces of broken image data.

"Some of these things were captured by the monitoring system, and the video was left at two points in time when the facility was closed and opened." ASanbaA began to play the materials he found while speaking.

The content of the first video is when the children enter those sleeping cabins. It can be seen on the screen that the children are walking in a neat line on the long bridge, and some children who are too young have to be held in their arms by the older children. The older children of them seem to know what is going to happen, so they can occasionally see them comforting their younger siblings. During the whole process, no one was crying, no one was timid, and all the children stood quietly in the queue, waiting to enter their own dorm room. Beside these teams, sparse adults can be seen. The latter wears an unusually thick isolation suit, and every inch of the body's skin is wrapped under a white protective clothing, as if afraid of transmitting the virus to children. These adults are probably the last operators of the entire ark. Their health is obviously very poor. Some people even shake when walking, but there are not enough people in the ark to do these jobs, so these steps are staggering Illness can only insist to see off the civilized fire.

After the last batch of dormant cabins were put on a stand, the adults in isolation suits left the place, the gate was closed, and the last generation of the Ark began their seventy-seven years of freezing.

"Next is the record of the opening of the facility-it was taken by the monitoring equipment 815 years ago." ASanbaA said, releasing another video.

At the beginning of this video clip, Hao Ren saw a mess.

It is still the long bridge in the sky, but the situation on the long bridge is disorderly at the moment. A burst of red lights flashed on the edge of the screen, and continuous alarm sounds came from outside the screen. The dormant cabins were released in batches on the long bridge and beside several additional "unloading points" around the cylindrical space. The children awakened from the dormant cabin were panicked, led by the guidance lights and some older children. Escape from this place. This video is much shorter than the previous one, and there are almost only a few messy scenes. After the video was finished, the Lily subconsciously asked: "What happened next?"

"I'm afraid this facility was accidentally activated. They should have been sleeping for longer!" Hao Ren frowned, "The result was woken up in advance!"

Lily's wide-eyed eyes: "Accident? What accident?"

The answer to her was not Hao Ren, but ASanbaA: "The reactor is malfunctioning! Do you still remember the radiation from the outer zone of the ancestor Hong furnace? Those radiations appeared almost 800 years ago-the reactor suddenly broke down!" (To be continued.)
