Xiling Empire Chapter 1558: Strange civilization

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

A bright light suddenly flashed in the dark and vast space, and then space was filled with layers of ripples like water ripples. Hundreds of kilometers of the cross starship explored the origin shadow from the ripples and hovered imposingly. Above a green planet-of course, no one can see it no matter how imposing it is. The Admiral is invisible. Before the local situation is unknown, I do not intend to alarm the indigenous people here.

This time the planet is no longer an Shandora's dream, but the original Universe object after the dream faded.

The Shandora's mental sensory is really accurate enough. I found myself accurately coming to the gravitational balance point of this planet and its second satellite. This navigation ability is no less than that of a shipborne radar.

"The jump engine seems to start faster than before, and the jump process is more stable," I sat behind the temporary console on the officer ’s platform, chatting with the Shandora while checking the working status of the reborn spaceship, now spaceship The crew is not here, Shandora is just a ball, and I can only temporarily act as a guest operator. Fortunately, I have learned a lot in the past few years to learn a lot about spaceship control, plus the assistance of shipboard host, some basic tasks It can still be done, "It seems that when spaceship was reborn, it didn't seem to regenerate the loads that were not part of the ship's registration equipment, but some of our personal belongings placed on the officer's platform were reborn ... this is really strange."

"This is a good thing anyway," a soccer ball-sized golden light ball floats at my hand, and the sound of Shandora's comes from it. "This shows that its resurrection is controllable, and there must be some rules to study. In this way, spaceship can still be upgraded, and even if it is sunk in the future, it can be resurrected with the modified parts when reborn, so that it does not return to the original state every time it is regenerated. "

I took the Shandora ball in my arms and walked towards the teleporter. I beckoned Alaya to keep up with the nagging: "Listening to you, I also intend to let the empire general explode a few times, just in case Resurrection is a one-time thing. "

"Just think about it preparatively," the Shandora ball struggled a few times, "I can now move by myself without having to walk around."

I am happy: "Don't make trouble, feel good."

Shandora: "... Well, forget it, the husband and wife are already there anyway. But can't you pinch? Isn't this a toy ..."

We did n’t teleport directly to the vibrant green planet below, but turned on the invisible state, first came to the outer space, Shandora said that here is a high level civilization, the reason is that she is on this planet surroundings A large number of high science and technology facilities were found: space station.

The green planet below is slightly larger in diameter than Earth, and has three natural satellites of different sizes. The smallest satellite is just a large ice rock ball. If it falls on the surface, it may be a giant meteorite. The other two satellites are similar in size to the moon and are located in two orbits that are sharp but do not cross. In the vast space between the three satellites and the green parent star, thousands of complete space facilities can be found. There is one in front of us.

These space installations have a streamlined rounded shell, ranging in size from tens of meters to nearly a kilometer. Their shape is basically similar, like a huge seed or some kind of hypertrophic plant viburnum, smooth The main color of the alloy shell is painted with green tones and decorative patterns of vines and leaves. Despite being reminiscent of ice-cold and the rigid space equipment, these space stations are still full of elegant and complicated patterns and elaborate decoration- —This style reminds me of Pixie/Elf. Does it seem that a group of locals who love art live on the green planet below? And their aesthetics seem to be quite in line with the mainstream standards of the empire, at least I see the appearance of these space stations very pleasing.

However, Shandora did n’t feel much about this style. She rolled around on a space station. After checking a main armored deck, she concluded: "These patterns have no effect at all, and they are not external energy. The collection network is not a magic energy Rune, it is just a waste of the manufacturing cycle. The patterns on the Imperial equipment are all useful. Purely decorative things require special applications and have special meaning. You look at a space station ...... The surface is almost painted as a gallery. Why is it so beautiful, who can see it in space. "

"Are n’t we just watching," I said in the spiritual connection while catching the Shandora ball that floated towards me, "In addition, do n’t be too strict with other race, there are Pixie/Elf in the imperial family, they I wish I could paint my family portrait on the bullet. You have to see it even more. You have never seen the space shuttle made by the tree Pixie/Elf, which is more fancy than the one in front of you. Pixie/Elf style, but obviously the technology is a bit worse. "

While chatting, we studied the space station that is more than 400 meters long and looks like an elongated olive seed. Through its technical level, we can roughly judge how high the civilization of the indigenous people on the planet below, so that it can be the next step. Contact lay the foundation. This space station is of course inconspicuous compared to the behemoths made by the empire, but for most civilizations similar to the earthling, the volume is not small, and this thing has a rigid shield. equipment and the original gravitational wave antenna, basically It can be judged that its maker has ability sailing in the Milky Way, and maybe some probes will be released later to find farther away and find the colony of this civilization in other star systems. The shell in space is covered with beautiful patterns, as Shandora said, "exquisite beautiful but useless", but I still found that these patterns actually divided the space station shell into some areas, such as access ports, reserved slots for external devices, and The position of the cover plate of the deformed equipment is surrounded by special patterns, and the opinion of Shandora is even bigger: "It is obviously only used to mark the position. Is it necessary to paint so complicated!"

I know that this is an inexplicable result of Shandora ’s inability to eat, so it ’s not as real as her, but she just smiled and shook her head and put her hand on the shell of space station, preparing to be on duty for the guards that might exist in space station Under the premise of understanding its internal structure, and ... this thing is sleeping? !

I was a little surprised. subconsciously knocked on the alloy shell of space station, and then deepened mental power. Finally, it was determined that 80% of the internal sections of this thing were closed, and there was only a weak energy response in the core.

The only two external devices that maintain normal operation are space station: shield generators and thrusters for orbit calibration. These two devices are necessary to ensure that space station can operate in space for a very long time.

Shandora and didn't expect look so new, but inside is dormant. She split a small cluster of golden flashes from the sparks of the soul and penetrated into the space station. She quickly concluded: "There is no thought reaction, and there are no signs of life. , It looks like an unmanned station, and even AI has been shut down ... if it has AI. "

"Look elsewhere." I turned my head to look in the other direction. At the end of the line of sight, there was a small spot of silver and white mixed with green, which was the nearest space station.

After a while, we completed the inspection of the second site, and the result was unsurprising: it was also sleeping.

Alaya released his own avatar of the Holy Spirit, Shandora split more mini-mind sparks, and I expanded my range of spiritual induction, and soon dozens of man-made facilities in the surrounding space were once again to scan, but They are all dormant without exception, and the sleep mode is exactly the same: the internal main equipment is completely shut down, indicating that the entire site is no longer performing tasks, the core has a weak energy response, indicating that the site core is idling on standby, the shield generator and The propellers used for attitude adjustment work properly to ensure that they can survive for a long time in this sleep state-and they may have really been sleeping for a very long time.

"A site may be dormant for maintenance or other reasons, but all of these space stations are dormant ... The situation is rather strange," the spherical Shandora floated two meters away in front, and a golden line sparked from the soul The middle stretches out and disappears gradually into the depths of space, just like her fighting stance when she was personal, these golden lines are checking the space station in the farther range, "All are sleeping ... and the shield and attitude engine are running. , Which shows that they were intentionally set to this state: Although they are not working, they have to stay in space for a long time. But why do they do? Did their creators give up these things? "

"It seems that I can only go to the surface of the planet to find the answer," I looked at the green planet at my feet. "Huh, the weird World is really everywhere. Why did I encounter this civilization that does not develop according to common sense?" ... "

After a while, we have come to the surface of the planet and, in stealth, approached the settlement near the landing point.

At the end of a triangular plain, it is the area where the plain and a large forest border. There is a straight and wide river at the border of the forest area, which exactly divides the two landforms into two. The west of the river is a dense jungle. On the east side of the river is a flat on the spot zone with towns, open terrain and relatively sparse vegetation.

In front of us is a local town, its size does not look large, it is not a town but a huge village, but there is a circle of earth and stone structure around the village that can be called a wall, so I classify it Into the category of "towns". Standing at high altitude, you can see the whole picture of the town. It is built along the river, crooked, and "slender". There are hundreds of families along the river on the bank facing the plain, and the number of houses is deeper in the direction of the plain. It is becoming scarce, but the scale is gradually increasing. Obviously, facilities such as wealthy households, shops, and government buildings are all located inside the town far away from the river bank. Most of the houses are a mix of civil and masonry. Most of the bungalows and second-floor houses are simple in style and do not see too many decorative traces. Even the large-scale houses that look like noble residences are not More decorated.

However, the simplicity is simple, all house are quite neat and bright, most of these local houses are composed of a square main house and two or three cylindrical auxiliary houses. The outer wall of the house seems to be white cement or What other artificial materials are built, looks clean and tidy, and the sloped roof of the main house and the dome of the auxiliary house are laid with blue shingles or fired masonry tiles, blue and white, the entire riverside town is basically There are only these two shades.

In the deepest part of the town, there is a special-style spire building, which makes it more conspicuous in other houses. I do n’t know what it does, but look at its special location and the color of the complex pattern. Glass and endless flow of people in front of the door ... maybe some kind of religious facility? Of course, this is only the first impression, and the specific situation is unclear.

As a town, this settlement is not large in scale, but the population is quite prosperous. There are large areas of farmland outside the town, and the flow of people in the town is woven. The science and technology level of World can be seen from the transportation on the street : The rich ride horses, the ox carts of farmers, and most pedestrians walk hurriedly on Rough Stone Avenue. The highest science and technology in the whole town may be the three windmills built by the east side wall against the wall and the large water wheel on the upstream of the river. In addition, I did n’t even see an electrified street lamp ...

"Looks like ... it's not quite what we expected." I landed from a high altitude to a height almost as high as the wall of the town, holding a warm Shandora ball in my arms while stretching my neck to observe the dress of the locals While talking to himself.

The locals are also in the Human Race form, so you do n’t have to think about what weird looks are transformed into, you just need to prepare the locals ’clothes. Alaya had a record-breaking a period of time activity outside today, and now has lazily returned to my Mental World to sleep with daughter|girl, Shandora ... Let her lower the brightness a little. I just hold a football, or she directly invisible also.

The Shandora's observation is much more detailed than mine, and she has spread her power farther and deeper, and her bland voice came from the light ball in my arms: "Visually inspect their technical level In the farming era of artificial + animal husbandry power, there is no sign of electrification, and there is no self-sourced mechanical power. Most of the residents are Human Race. There are different races similar to Pixie/Elf and dwarves found in the middle. The number is small, and it is in harmony with Human Race. Search the range, and determine that other settlements within a million square kilometers are similar. Comprehensive assessment of the planet ’s low-level uncivilized civilization ... I even made a mistake. "

It's not only her misjudgment, but even me on the surface of didn't expect is such a scene: a farming civilization that has not developed the modern science and technology at all! Look even like Europe in the late Middle Ages!

However, this planet has hundreds of space stations and artificial satellites in its orbit. Those space facilities are even as clean as a new one, and they can be re-operated with just one command!

Obviously, this planet also contains secrets, but I ca n’t think of myself being blown off once in a while. The chance fell to a remote World where the bird did n’t shit. I found a planet with life in a very low probability In such a fun and confusing event, the ability to hit the Universiade is simply a gift-why did n’t I try to buy a lottery ticket before the age of 18? That way when I wait for the three hundred Commander to come, I do n’t have to let them find a job by themselves, and I can save them to cultivate the wonderful hobby of Sicaro ...

I quickly prepared myself a suit of local civilians. In fact, local clothes are not awkward to wear. Short robes and narrow trousers, gray and gray-blue tones, look a bit like desert residents, It is much better than World, which has a strange costume. Shandora was too lazy to cover himself with camouflage colors, and simply became invisible and floated behind me. The two of us walked into this local town in such a big swing that they did not cause any extra sight.

"The space stations and satellites in space should be sealed in a planned manner, and there is no sign of being rushed to give up, and the standby status is obviously to wait for a recovery moment in the future," Shandora remains invisible , While observing the situation of surroundings while continuing to chat with me in the spiritual connection, "And these on the ground ... probably experienced some kind of science and technology recession, this situation is not uncommon. In short, it is not like a special civilization that deserves attention, But anyway, we are still trapped here now, so we have to explore for a few days as an outing. sometimes has an interrupted and severely dropped high level civilization. It also has high observation value, and it can give us some inspiration. "

Shandora has already characterized this as a "teaching leisure trip" activity. Although it seems that something is wrong, it is always idle and idle. It seems good to relax on this planet.

In this way, we speculate on the connection between the space facilities in space and these backward civilizations on the surface, while wandering aimlessly in this riverside town.

Although I have n’t been to other places yet, this town seems to be a peaceful place. I also saw the Pixie/Elf and dwarves mentioned before Shandora. They should belong to a few residents in the town, but it seems It is also a resident in the local area, and the three race mixed together shows no signs of conflict, which is not very common in other World.

This town is a typical agricultural and sideline settlement. The farmland outside the town and the nearby river are probably the source of life for local residents. There is a small market in the town where you can see the sale of game and herbs Orion and the like, the nearby forest is also a pillar of survival for the locals.

I think it ’s rare to find a new World. How much should I buy some local specialties and go home to give a gift to the gang at home? , Daily etiquette and other details, but how to say it is also a veteran passer-by. It is my strength to quickly collect intelligence through observation in an unfamiliar environment. After a while, I will probably understand the currency and transaction methods here. Then I was surprised to find ...

Not only currency is used here, but also at the same time allows barter trading?

It is often seen that some people dressed as servants and travellers use strange things to exchange large amounts of food or other necessities with the local residents. This makes one think that one has just come out of some ruins. "Adventures" who haven't had time to change the treasures of the adventure into money, this scene has been seen in many other World.

As I became more and more interested in the planet, my clothing corner was suddenly pulled by someone.
