"This door … how do I open it?"
In front of Tang En and his group of uninvited guests was a heavy, sealed metal door. Under normal circumstances, they could just break the door with brute force. However, they were not sure what was behind the door, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Yaya knocked on the hard metal door and said with dissatisfaction, "Seriously, didn't they say there was a shield outside to maintain the ecosystem? Why did they make such a heavy sealed door inside?"
She did not expect that her unintentional words would stun Tang En and Clotho.
"Yes! That makes sense! "
Tang En slapped his forehead, and his eyes lit up. "It's possible that the AI system here detected that the shield had failed, so it opened the sealed door. That way, it could protect the lives of the people inside!"
Clotho added, "It's also possible that the survivors closed the sealed door manually! Don't forget, we received a communication request from here a few years ago! "
A few people beside them heard their conversation and suddenly became excited. "That is to say, behind this door, there might be something left behind by the prehistoric civilization!"
"But if we forcefully destroy this place now, the things inside might also be damaged, right?"
Tang En was a little conflicted. No archaeologist in this world would use violent means. At this time, he really wanted to have a blue fatty so that he could get through with a penetrating ring.
"Under such circumstances …"
Jean's gaze fell on the figure who was touching and looking around. Ever since she came here, she had not been idle for a moment. She had been jumping up and down. To her, this was equivalent to a huge treasure trove, and it was a treasure trove that no one else had explored before. It was a treasure trove that she could explore freely. Of course, she was excited.
"As expected, we have to rely on her."
Tang En nodded. If it was an electronic lock, Selna might not be able to do anything about it, but this kind of mechanical lock was still the same regardless of how it was developed. As long as Selna found the key structural point, everyone could work together to open it. Anyone here could carry a thousand pounds of weight, so why would they be afraid of not being able to lift a door?
"Selna! It's your turn! "
Selna suddenly heard her name from the communicator and rushed over. "Haha! It's finally my turn to show off my skills! Come on, come on, let me see how powerful a door made by a civilization from ten thousand years ago is! "
Tang En looked at the excited Selna and said helplessly, "This is a satellite base, not a place to prevent thieves. It's impossible for there to be anything too secretive or complicated. It can be inferred that the door here must be sturdy and durable, so your mission is to find the key structural points, and then …"
Tang En talked for a long time, and then he realized that the guy had already started to get busy and didn't listen to him at all.
At this time, Clotho reminded Tang En, "My friend, don't you think we should do something before we destroy this door?"
"You mean to seal this place?"
Tang En immediately understood what he meant. If there were really prehistoric survivors living inside (although the probability was less than one in a billion), security measures should be taken to be on the safe side.
Tang En thought about it carefully and agreed. Even if they didn't care about the prehistoric survivors, they had to consider the possibility of the internal data being destroyed under the change in air pressure. So, he took out a matrix defense module and activated it at the entrance of the building.
Tang En said with a smile, "This is a matrix defense module. It borrows the function of 'shelter' and adds a life-sustaining function. It can maintain a constant air pressure and temperature, and can release enough air to sustain twenty people for a day."
Reeves breathed a sigh of relief. "Although I don't know why you developed this thing, it's finally a big help!"
"…"
Selna immediately began to examine the alloy door. She was especially good at using magic to detect the subtle gaps, and then simulate the image of the object in her mind. It was probably equivalent to modeling in the mind, and then using the simulation to find the brittle points of the structure.
Although he didn't want to admit it, this guy had indeed mastered the specialty of being a thief to the extreme.
"My friend, I'm really happy to see your current height. Why don't we discuss —"
"No, don't even think about it!"
Before Clotho could say anything, Tang En decisively refused.
Clotho screamed, "You don't even know what I'm going to say!"
"Needless to say, I know you want us to maintain our current height …"
"…"
"That's impossible. You don't have to think about it."
As soon as Tang En's voice fell, there was a sudden cheer from the side. "Found it!"
"No way! So fast!? "
Tang En and the others were stunned. They turned their heads and saw Selna tilting her head and looking through the gap in the door. "There's an alloy pillar here. It's stuck on both sides of the door. As long as it's destroyed, it won't affect the overall structure. Open this door. Give me some time, this is a delicate job …"
But after a while, Selna helplessly announced her failure. Her weapon couldn't cut through the sturdy alloy pillar in a short period of time.
The Anas alloy was harder than expected.
Tang En pulled out the World Will. "Let me do it. Show me the direction."
Although there was no laser cutter, the World Will was more powerful.
"From here —"
Selna drew a vertical mark on the door. "— Here, no more, no less."
Tang En's sword pierced in and then cut along the line drawn by Selna. The sturdy alloy door was as fragile as tofu and couldn't stop the sharp World Will at all.
"That's great …"
Selna looked enviously at the World Will in Tang En's hand. "If I had such a powerful weapon, there wouldn't be any treasure in this world that I can't break into …"
"What an idiot …"
Yaye, who was bored to death, curled her lips. "If I could have such a weapon, would I still need to rob a treasure?"
"…"
Twain retracted the will of the world, and then used both his hands to push the gap to the sides. Everyone felt the floor under their feet tremble slightly, and then the alloy door that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years was finally pushed open by him.
"It's open — ugh …"
“！！！”
When Jean subconsciously released Glimmer to illuminate the dark passage behind the door, everyone present instantly felt their scalps go numb. They all stood there motionless.
Everyone present could be said to be used to life and death parting. They were already used to all kinds of big scenes, but when they suddenly saw the situation in front of them, they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.
The passage in front of them was filled with densely packed "corpses". It wasn't accurate to call them corpses because those people's bodies had been weathered and corroded away. Only space suits covered in dust were left here.
Just by looking at those spacesuits, one could imagine how terrible the situation in this passage was. The layers of spacesuits seemed to be telling everyone how chaotic the situation in this passage was. When the Cataclysm happened, the door of the passage was locked. They frantically tried to escape into the base, but none of them managed to escape. They all died in this passage.
Clotho and Reeves were silent. This scene had the strongest impact on them. Although they were proud of their identity, now it seemed that their ancestors were also so weak and powerless in the face of disaster. In that case, what was there to be proud of?
After closing the door again, everyone moved forward in silence. Their footsteps were very light, as if they were worried about disturbing the souls sleeping here. Even though they all knew that the souls here had probably dissipated for many years.
After passing through the corridor, they came to the upper floor of the building. According to general logic, the upper floor should be a more important office area. It would be even better if they could find some undamaged computers or databases left behind by the prehistoric civilization.
However, when they walked to the stairs, they were all stunned.
On both sides of the corridor, the walls were covered with messy prehistoric text. It seemed that those people had carved it before they died. A large part of the text was repeated.
If it was only one or two repetitions, it would be understandable, but a large number of repetitions would bring an extremely oppressive and terrifying feeling to people.
"What is written in these words?"
Yaya shrank to Tang En's side. Although she couldn't understand the text, she felt a creepy sense of fear.
Aiguin glanced at her silently, then hesitantly moved to Tang En's side. She paused, then moved closer again …
Clotho turned on his intelligent wristwatch and called his intelligent assistant. "Open the database of the prehistoric civilization. Search for matching data and translate."
"Scanning begins …"
A red holographic projection beam was projected from the intelligent wristwatch and quickly covered the text on the walls of the stairs. After the magic wave was sent out to scan the engravings on the walls, it was drawn into image symbols through calculation. Then, it was converted into identifiable information through a specific algorithm. Finally, it was imported into the database for comparison and translation.
"Searching … Matching completed."
The voice of the central host, Eve, came from the intelligent wristwatch. "The following is the text: Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! Failed! … "
"The experiment failed … Central City exploded, big explosion … More than 70% of the visible surface area was destroyed … The overflowing energy destroyed more than 40% of the land area … We witnessed it all … No one is a survivor … The energy storm destroyed all the equipment … The aircraft was damaged … We can't leave here … We are all trapped here … Dead … Everyone is dead …"
