Even though they were used to seeing countless deaths, they were still shocked when they heard the translation from the intelligent wristwatch.
Even the extremely rational and emotionless Eustisa and Egwynn couldn't help but be moved at this moment.
"This... could this have been left behind by the survivors of the catastrophe?"
Aegwynn glanced at the dust-covered spacesuits on the ground. It was as though she could see the figures trapped here ten thousand years ago, finally falling to the ground in despair.
Tang En walked over and patted her shoulder gently. He then put his arm around her shoulder and said, "It's all in the past. Don't be too sad..."
Aiguin did not reject his consolation.
Histisa secretly gave him a thumbs up.
The intelligent wristwatch continued to translate the words on the wall. The following content was similar to what they had seen before. Most of it described the situation of the researchers who were trapped here after the catastrophe.
The cause of the catastrophe was that the prehistoric civilization had opened a passage to the astral world to absorb the void energy. The void energy instantly turned into psionic energy and the psionic energy storm was stronger than all the energy in this world. It had no time limit and speed limit. The terrifying energy storm swept through the entire universe.
Lorita, who was close to the psionic energy storm, received the psionic energy attack at close range. The high-energy beam destroyed the defenseless equipment and destroyed the energy shield built by the prehistoric civilization. A large number of workers were instantly vaporized by the high-energy beam...
Within the base, the workers who were protected by the buildings and the astral bodies managed to survive temporarily. However, it was only temporary.
What was even more frightening was that due to the ship's equipment being destroyed by the high-energy rays, they could not even leave this place and return to the surface of Planet Plandal. They could only watch helplessly from the planet's cover as Plandal, which was right in front of them, was destroyed.
There was probably nothing more despairing than this.
What was even more frightening was that they could not even survive in this place. As time went by, the side effects of the exposure to high doses of psionic energy began to appear. Death began to spread within the base. The members kept dying, and the remaining survivors were swallowed up by despair. Psychological treatment was useless because even the psychiatrist had gone mad...
Later on, the survivors began to frantically search for various ways to escape within the base. They tried to find all kinds of intact equipment in an attempt to repair the spaceship. If they could repair even one spaceship, they would have a chance to escape. Unfortunately, they did not succeed.
All that was left were these "corpses" all over the ground.
Tang En and the rest listened to the translated information from the intelligent wristwatch as they walked upstairs in silence. Although they already knew that the equipment here had been destroyed by the high-energy rays, the database that stored the data was not necessarily damaged.
What they needed was information on the prehistoric civilization.
The walls on both sides of the stairs were full of spacesuits, and the walls were full of messy words. In addition to the gloomy light and the pink light shining in from the outside, it made this place look like a scene from a horror movie. It was very scary.
In the silent space, only their silhouettes were constantly flickering. They couldn't even hear the footsteps of others. That's right, even though this place was in a sealed state, after ten thousand years, the air inside was still severely leaking. It was so thin that it was negligible.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for the descendants of the prehistoric survivors to be alive and waiting for their rescue.
Selna continued to open the door in front, and they soon came to a place that looked like a monitoring center upstairs.
After a brief inspection, Clotho said, "There is no energy source, the equipment can't be activated. At present, we don't know whether the damage is permanent or temporary."
"In short, let's mark this place first. When we leave, we'll consider whether to take the whole place with us, or to modify it and directly build a research base here."
Whether the equipment could be used or not was not a problem. The important thing was the data stored in the room next to it.
If they could confirm that the data here was more important and the equipment could not be moved easily, Tang En could build a teleportation circle here. Then, they could come here to conduct research at any time.
The key point was how difficult it was to build an ecosystem here. It must be known that with the current Prandal technology, it was very difficult to build such a life-sustaining ecosystem. The improved version of the matrix defense module that Tang En and the others created was not so powerful that it could cover the whole base.
Unless they could persuade Outinia to directly modify the ecosystem here with her divine power. But that was obviously impossible, because if she did, the fluctuations of her divine power would attract the attention of the creatures of Chaos, and the army of Chaos would appear in this world in advance. At that time, it would probably be the end of the world before Tang En and the others could study it.
While Clotho and the others were studying the database, Tang En woke Nola up and asked her to use her power to search for traces of life here.
This was what she was good at.
Originally, Tang En did not have much hope and just casually asked Nola to give it a try. Who knew that when Nola began to search for traces of life, she would bring them a surprise!
That's right, Nora had actually found traces of life on this planet!
[Are you sure you're not mistaken?]
A stunned Tang En asked, [Are you sure there are still prehistoric survivors living here?!]
[I don't know if they are prehistoric immigrants, but there are traces of life here!]
Nola pointed to the depths of the building confidently and said, [It's very deep down here. I can feel it. Although it's very weak and might be in a deep sleep, it is indeed still alive.]
Tang En was really shocked. What did it mean for a person to be in a deep sleep? It was very likely that prehistoric survivors had spent tens of thousands of years in a deep sleep and were lucky enough to survive the aftereffects of psionic radiation!
At the same time, Tang En also thought of something else — a hibernation pod.
On Earth, this thing would appear in almost any sci-fi movie related to space. People hibernated in hibernation pods to pass the long interstellar travel time. Now, if there were no accidents, the sleeping person Nola found must have spent these tens of thousands of years in something similar to a hibernation pod.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain how he could live for such a long time — dwarves and goblins were not Megalosaurus and did not have such a long lifespan.
"Everyone."
Tang En took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I have news for you, but I hope you can calm down and not get too excited, especially Klotto and Reeves."
The group stopped what they were doing and looked at Tang En curiously, "What news?"
"In the depths of this planet, there is likely to be life."
Tang En's words almost made Reeves explode, "Are you serious!?"
"Calm down! I'm just saying that there is such a possibility! "
Twain shouted, and the arcane rope trapped Reeves, who was rushing over. Then, he continued, "In the world I once lived in, there was a kind of technology that could make living things fall into a deep sleep, reducing their life functions to a halt, and then awakening them after a long time … Through this method, people could obtain a long life."
Klotto slapped his forehead, "I understand, it's similar to the hibernation behavior of some magic beasts!"
"Yes, the principle is similar, but the effect is better."
Tang En said, "If the people who were lucky enough to survive the catastrophe didn't die from the aftereffects of psionic radiation, they would probably think of using a hibernation pod to get through the crisis — if they developed such a thing."
According to the information of the prehistoric civilization, they should have already grasped this technology, or else they wouldn't have started such a large-scale planetary modification operation.
According to the information from the video, it was likely that the ancestors of the dwarves and goblins had sensed the instability within the planet and were worried about the lifespan of the planet. Therefore, they forcefully opened the Astral World Passage in an attempt to obtain a higher level of energy to drive Lorita's interstellar migration plan. However, they did not expect that their civilization was not destroyed by the hidden dangers of the underground world. Instead, it was destroyed by their reckless actions.
"Where is it?! Quickly lead the way! "
Reeves was anxious. If they could find the prehistoric survivors, they might be able to find a way to decipher the information of the ruins. The gnomes would also be able to regain their lost technology.
Tang En was also afraid that something would happen if they delayed any longer. After everyone anchored a spatial coordinate here for emergency escape, they followed Tang En down the stairs and into the depths of the corridor.
This corridor was slanted into Lorita's inner (…) crust. The deeper they went, the darker the light. Soon, even the radiation of the psionic crystals could not be seen.
Perhaps it was the thick crust that weakened the psionic radiation, allowing the survivor deep underground to survive.
However …
"No matter how you look at it, this corridor looks like a death tunnel to hell."
The atmosphere in the corridor was abnormally tense. Along the way, they could see collapsed spacesuits and dust that looked like corpses. It was hard to be happy.
The originally excited Klotto and Reeves also fell silent. Even the heartless Gabrielle suddenly fell silent. She softly murmured a hymn, as if she wanted to bless the souls of the dead. Even though she knew that the souls had already dissipated.
