Idle game leads to another world

Artificial gravity is currently divided into two categories, one is the spin of the colony satellite, and the other is a magical effect called "gravity reversal".

Simply put, gravity will become no gravity, and no gravity will become gravity.

Both methods of artificial gravity are used, and there is no superiority or inferiority, mainly depending on the usage scenario.

Gravity reversal is used in places such as space stations, void fortresses, etc. that are larger than ships but much smaller than colonies, such as the Gemini Space Station where Alyssa went at the beginning.

This is because the range of gravity reversal is limited. If it exceeds a certain threshold, the energy consumption will be ridiculously high, so the colony satellite chooses to spin to provide gravity.

And the ship is too small, and the power of the ship is not enough to support the long-term use of gravity reversal, so most ships other than starships are magnetic shoes or simply float like this.

The ancient elf ruins that came this time are similar in size to the space station, and they are not spinning, so they also use gravity reversal. The gravity reversal spell itself is the legacy of the ancient elves, and later generations have optimized it.

Although this looks normal, it is not normal for the ruins of the ancient elves.

The most important point is where the energy comes from.

If a space station is in low-energy mode and almost all functions are turned off, even if no one maintains it, the reactor can still provide enough energy to support thousands of years, so some areas in many ancient ruins still have artificial gravity, such as the ruins where Alyssa found the boot disk.

It is undeniable that there may be space stations that can operate automatically for 10,000 years, but the ancient elves are not among them.

Don't forget that the ancient elves had a great disaster at that time.

In the ancient elf period, their floating cities were much larger than the largest starships today, and even two or three times larger than the colony satellites. Moreover, their floating cities did not need to spin to provide artificial gravity, which is almost impossible for current technology.

The most basic technology to achieve all this is the power source of the ancient elves that no one can figure out.

It is said that this is a special mechanism that can release endless energy. It is placed at a higher latitude to absorb endless power, so the floating cities built by the ancient elves do not consider energy consumption at all.

But when the great disaster came, magic became unreliable, and these miraculous energy sources almost all exploded under the influence of the great disaster, causing the floating cities to fall like raindrops.

And this unreliable time lasted for thousands of years, during which time everything that relied on magic would have problems.

There is artificial gravity, which means that the energy source itself is intact and has successfully survived the impact of the great disaster. Ancient elf relics in this situation are extremely rare.

Generally speaking, Alyssa would be very happy to encounter such ancient elf relics.

Although it is impossible to move or use the energy source for my own use, the intactness means that the ruins themselves have a large amount of magic technology and precious antiques and even documents left over from the ancient elves. The thorough excavation of an ancient elf ruins is a huge fortune. The reason why Alyssa's grandfather can afford a starship is because he monopolized the funds provided by an ancient elf ruins when he was young.

But then again.

Alyssa looked at Shanna riding on the golem. This time it might not be as simple as just finding something to sell for money.

Behind the membrane airlock is a wide room, where benches and other arrangements for people to rest can be vaguely seen, and there is another heavy gate in front.

The three-stage gate arrangement is a common feature of almost all space stations and starships now, which is itself learned from the ancient elves.

"The gate here is sealed with a date marked on it. It looks like it was more than 800 years ago."

The light yellow seal was spot-welded on it, which should only be called a metal strip. It did not say who left the seal, but only the year of the Star Cluster Era 539.

At least this means that no one has entered in the past eight hundred years.

Sophia went over and pulled hard to tear off the seal, and Alyssa used the same trick to find the panel that opened the door and connected it to the personal terminal.

The huge gate cracked from the middle, rotating and shrinking into the wall like the aperture of a camera lens. At that moment, a strong wind blew out from inside, and the air pressure on both sides quickly balanced.

An Yun walked over to check with the wall, and her astonished voice sounded in the team communicator:

"There is actually a city here!"

Buildings of different heights are lined up one after another, and the road draws an arc under the building, as if it is a beautiful painting itself. The ancient stone glows dark gold under the dim light, trying to prove its former greatness.

Everyone stood beside the airlock door. It was hard to imagine that this was a civilization that existed more than 10,000 years ago.

To be precise, this is not a city, but an urban area, and it is already dilapidated. Many buildings have collapsed, and there are broken walls and ruins everywhere. Large boulders are scattered everywhere like building blocks discarded by naughty children.

The buildings of the ancient elves are all made of very classical stones, and the high-end ones use crystals. They have the technology of concrete, but they don't like to use it.

It is certainly not possible to build super-high and super-large buildings with stone bricks. In the ancient elves, these buildings were locked with magic, but in this long time, the magic gradually disappeared, and the buildings naturally collapsed due to their own weight, leaving only ruins that barely show the magnificence of the past.

Alyssa took out a pen-shaped instrument from the pocket of her protective suit, connected it to the cable of her personal terminal, and waved it around.

"Oxygen can be breathed, but there are a lot of components in the air that are different from normal air. Don't take off the mask casually."

The ancient elves were too rational. When their civilization developed to the later stage, they often spread a lot of stimulants in the city to get emotional fluctuations.

These stimulants may not degrade and disappear for tens of thousands of years, and for the ancient elves, they just make them feel emotional, but for ordinary mortals, it is completely lethal.

"Boss, where are we going now? Do you have a goal?"

Alyssa shrugged and turned to look at Shanna, and everyone turned back.

Shanna lay on the back of the golem, looking at the city. The excitement and happiness on her face just now disappeared, and she frowned and thought.

"I, I seem to have been here. But I shouldn't have been here. When did I come here?"

Shanna has no memory of being here, but there is a feeling of being here, just like you can walk to the toilet at home even without turning on the lights, a strong sense of familiarity.

Alyssa comforted him softly:

"Don't think too much. Where do you think we should go first? Just feel it."

Sannah still looked confused, but she pointed straight ahead:

"That tower, I feel like that tower is calling me."

The tower Shannah was talking about was at the end of the city. It was now split into two sections, like a dead tree that had died of old age, waiting for a visit.
