The body size of the Pangu was usually six to seven times that of normal human beings. Therefore, their single escape capsules were almost forty meters long, like the small crystal warships of human beings. They were in the shape of a spindle, with two sharp ends and a bulging middle, making them look like brilliant crystals with sharp edges. < < <
The middle part of the 'spindle' was made of translucent materials. It could vaguely be seen that a blue, thick liquid was contained inside the crystal. After hundreds of thousands of years of scourge, it was still emitting splendid brilliance.
In the dim escape center, the intact escape capsule was as eye-catching as a firefly in a dark night. Therefore, it was discovered by the Immortal Cultivators very soon.
Inside the blue liquid, instead of "floating", it would be more accurate to say that a giant was "embedded" in it!
He was around fifteen meters tall. His body was as bright as jade, and his skin was smooth and smooth. He was very similar to the Pangu that Li Yao had seen in the primeval memories, except that his skin was not as rough.
He was like a human being that had been magnified multiple times. He did not have any hideous features such as three heads and six arms or a green face and tusks. Even the number of fingers and toes was exactly ten.
Even though his eyes were slightly closed, his face still revealed a wisp of a dignified, simple, and inviolable aura. He was like a lofty statue in a temple, and he caused others to have the impulse to prostrate themselves before him and obey his orders.
Other than being 'embedded' in the thick, deep blue liquid, he was also covered in a 'membrane' that looked like a mustard-seed combat suit and was as thin as a cicada's wing.
Li Yao observed from various angles. The membrane would reflect ever-changing colors and generate ten thousand complicated colors, which were all swirling and colliding crazily like swirls. Eventually, they were condensed into complicated runes.
At first, Li Yao was still trying to focus his attention on analyzing the runes.
But after only several seconds, he felt that the world was swirling and that he could not bear it anymore. The complexity of the rune arrays far exceeded the limits of his computational ability.
Perhaps, it was the membrane where billions of rune arrays were concentrated that preserved the body of the Pangu's flesh and blood from the primeval era to this day. It was still fresh, complete, and plentiful!
Compared with the other dead bodies on the primeval battlefield, the body of the Pangu was healthy and muscular. Traces of veins could be vaguely seen below his gray skin.
He did not seem to have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years. Instead, he seemed to have just fallen asleep yesterday and would wake up at any moment.
The three Immortal Cultivators and the Cultivator looked at each other.... Despite the thick masks, they could still sense the shock and ecstasy in each other's eyes!
"An authentic member of the Pangu Clan!"
"Not a fossil, a corpse, or a corpse, a being, a living being, a living being!"
"Is he dead? Or is? "
"It's a hibernation technology! He is hibernating for hundreds of thousands of years! "
"Got it! Got it! The single escape capsule of the Pangu civilization is also a hibernation capsule! Because the power of the single escape capsule is weak and its navigation performance is not good, it is very easy for accidents to happen. It will miss the destination and drift in the sea of stars for who knows how many years!
"Therefore, the moment he enters the escape capsule, he hibernates himself. Even if he is launched into the depths of the universe aimlessly, he will be able to survive long enough until he reaches his destination or is found by the rescuers!
"In such a way, the odds of survival will be greatly improved!
"The Pangu must've just crawled into the escape capsule and entered the hibernation state. Before he was launched, the navigation system and the launch system were sabotaged by the invading army of human beings. As a result, he was' stuck 'here and could not move at all!
"Look here. His escape capsule is even connected to the escape center through tubes of spiritual energy and powered by the entire planetary warship. No wonder he has been in the 'hibernation state' for hundreds of thousands of years!"
Li Yao and his companions were all excited. They talked at the same time and pieced together the picture of the battlefield in the past.
The most important thing right now was —
"Is the Pangu still alive?"
The question was rather complicated.
Judging from his appearance, he did not seem to be breathing or having a heartbeat. There was not the slightest sign of life, either.
However, the most advanced hibernation technology could achieve that, too. The life activities of the fleshly body would be compressed to the minimum, and all the energy consumption would be close to zero. Otherwise, how could he have survived hundreds of thousands of years?
However, even if the Pangu was already dead, his body was still full of vigor at least. A lot of living cells would certainly be retrieved and help them crack the secrets of the Pangu civilization!
"Let's not act recklessly, everybody. The Pangu is a very dangerous being!"
Su Chang swallowed and breathed heavily. "If he is really dead, it will be easy. But if he is still alive and has woken up, then … it might not be a good thing!"
Li Yao recalled the Pangu that he had seen on the primeval battlefield, who could compete with a 'Colossus' dozens of meters tall on their own. He felt that his teeth were aching. —
He immediately agreed with Su Chang's judgment.
The half-dead member of the Pangu Clan was not only a priceless treasure but also a hot potato.
"I suggest that everything around the escape capsule should be kept exactly as it is. Send another fifty spiritual puppets to protect it. Do not let any pieces hit it!"
Su Chang said softly, somewhat in fear. "Right now, there are two possibilities. The Pangu is either dead or hibernating!
"We do not know the structure of the escape capsule and how to open it. If he is already dead and we act recklessly, it is very possible that the hibernation rune array inside the escape capsule will be completely sabotaged. His body will rot and perish instantly. We won't be able to get any cells!"
Li Yao recalled the vivid Pangu that he and Professor Mo Xuan had seen in space outside of Kunlun.
Sparkle had only approached it slightly, and it had been blown into smithereens and completely obliterated.
Such a body that had survived hundreds of thousands of years was very likely to be weak and fragile. Anything could happen to it once it was exposed to the air. It was indeed necessary to be cautious.
"If he is still alive, and we are bold enough to set him free by accident, it will be even worse! Nobody wants to be faced with an infuriated Pangu when they are unprepared! "
Su Chang smiled bitterly and said, "Now that we have found a Pangu that is very likely to be 'alive', we will have to slightly change our plan.
"After all, there are no shortage of resources on this planetary warship. We can totally put aside the matter of … getting in touch with the Flying Star Sector and focus on our work here!
"Maybe, in a year and a half, we will be able to collect enough resources to upgrade the base to the 'war form' so that we can produce more powerful spiritual puppets and magical equipment with heavy firepower that is designed to deal with large enemies!
"After all, the Pangu has been sleeping here for hundreds of thousands of years. He won't wake up anytime soon. When we have a strong enough army, we can always come back and figure out a way to dismantle the escape capsule. What do you think?"
Li Yao thought of something.
Su Chang's words revealed a piece of critical information.
As it turned out, the 'exploration bases in space' of the Imperium of True Human Beings could be upgraded in different directions nonstop.
Since there was a 'war form', there must be a 'resource collection form', a 'space teleportation form', a 'research and exploration form'.
Maybe, in some forms, the base itself could be unfolded into a large space gate, allowing the army of an alien world to cross the sky and occupy a new world!
However, the upgrade of the base obviously consumed a lot of resources and time. Even on such a resource-intensive planet as Kunlun, it would take a year and a half to complete the preliminary upgrade!
You can take your time to upgrade the base!
Li Yao chuckled in his heart. They had wasted too much time for the exploration. Right now, Burning Prairie would arrive with the top-tier experts of the Heaven's Origin Sector, the Flying Star Sector, and the Blood Demon Sector at any moment. By then, the whole of Kunlun, including the half-dead Pangu, would be the Cultivators' trophies!
However …
A sense of fear and trepidation flashed through his heart for no reason. There seemed to be something that wasn't quite right!
Su Chang was talking about his experience. Besides, a dead body of a Pangu was not enough to solve the urgent needs of the three Immortal Cultivators. What they were in desperate need of was battle magical equipment such as the 'Colossi'.
After recovering from their initial shock and excitement, Tang Qianhe and Kou Ruhuo both agreed with Su Chang's approach. Leaving dozens of spiritual puppets to guard the Pangu whose status was unknown, they continued exploring the surroundings.
This time, they paid special attention to the enormous human-shaped puppets more than ten meters tall. It did not matter even if they were on the brink of destruction.
Kou Ruhuo was a specialist of magical equipment among the Immortal Cultivators. With the debris of countless broken Colossi, it was possible that he would be able to assemble a complete Colossus!
Li Yao wandered among the debris of magical equipment that was floating in the sky nonstop. He felt that he had returned to the days when he was still young in the magical equipment graveyard twenty years ago.
However, the 'magical equipment garbage' around him right now had been upgraded countless times!
Even the most simple-looking sabers and swords, when Li Yao extended his spiritual threads to explore them, he discovered that complicated components were stored inside. They were much more precise than the chainswords of the Imperium and the Federation!
Li Yao was both surprised and delighted.
He was surprised that the magical equipment refining technology of the Pangu civilization had reached such a marvelous level.
He was delighted that, however marvelous the technology was, the mechanism was still the same. The only difference was the order of magnitude in terms of precision, but there was no essential difference.
As long as the mechanism was the same, they would be able to completely understand the methodology of the Pangu civilization, learn their approaches, and even … catch up with and surpass them!
While Li Yao was thinking hard while looking at the giant sword almost thirty meters long in front of him, he suddenly felt that his neck was numb.
