Creed of the heavens

"The Sun King?"

Hearing this name, Lu Xiao immediately thought of Louis XIV of France, but obviously the Sun King mentioned here has nothing to do with him.

"That is to say, besides the Nora tribe, there are other tribes that have developed better. They even have the concept of a city and an emperor?"

Aletheia replied: "It should be, further west is beyond the signal transmission range of the drone, and the situation cannot be known for the time being."

"Tomorrow Yongzhen will take the one-time teleportation rune you gave to the west to expand the coverage of the base station. Maybe we can get something different from you in the near future."

……

Since learning to meditate, except for letting go of everything in the main world and entering a deep sleep state, Lu Xiao uses meditation to restore energy at other times, and maintains a certain degree of vigilance during the meditation process.

Compared with the front of the mountain with a gentle slope, the back mountain where Lu Xiao temporarily lives is steeper, and no one will go up the mountain from this direction.

The morning light at sunrise outside the cave shone on Lu Xiao, awakening him from his meditative state.

Lu Xiao, who has never let down his vigilance, immediately turned on Eagle Vision.

As Hawkeye's scope gradually expanded, every move of the Nora people was captured in his mind.

It is impossible for the three eldest mothers to guard the church all day without doing other things. They left the cave early in the morning and went to the main villages and towns of the Nora tribe to guide the people to start their day's work.

The strong black man I met yesterday arranged several subordinates to guard the gate of the holy hall cave. Lu Xiao ignored these guards, cut off her breath and swaggered past them.

Coming to the heavy alloy gate again, this time Lu Xiao chose to connect his foc to the gate's system.

A red light lit up on the lines outside the gate, covering Lu Xiao's face in the light.

"Please wait for the identity scan."

The red light swept upwards from Lu Xiao's chin, and the mechanically synthesized voice quickly gave the answer.

"Error, the Alpha file is damaged, the identity cannot be identified, and entry is not allowed."

Lu Xiao shrugged nonchalantly: "I never thought I could enter so easily."

"Chong!"

Pulling out the Xuanyuan Sword from his waist, Lu Xiao stabbed the golden yellow sword straight into the metal gate, and the indestructible Xuanyuan Sword was not hindered in any way.

"Warning, intruder! Intruder! Calling the guard...failed, opening the autonomous defense system...failed."

Ignoring AI's warning, Lu Xiao tried not to make a sound, and made a small hole in the double-layered alloy gate that was barely big enough for one person to pass through.

"Aletheia, hack this idiot AI and make it shut up."

Aletheia: "No problem."

"Warning warning... error..."

After the core data was attacked by Aletheia, the ai in charge of the shelter soon fell.

I don't know how this AI was made. Aletheia can destroy it, but she can't rewrite its core code.

"Strange... Judging from its code, it should be a second-level agent program created by a more advanced artificial intelligence, but I don't know why I can't trace the source of this stupid AI."

When Aletheia asked the question, Lu Xiao had already entered the gate.

Reassembling the part of the cut-off structure, Lu Xiao arranged an illusion on the gate, so that the eldest mother of the Nora tribe could not notice the traces of the gate being cut for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary disturbances.

"Welcome to the 'Cradle' of Elucia 9."

The automatically broadcasted welcome lines made Lu Xiao and Aletheia, who had been paying attention here, stunned at the same time.

"Cradle? Not a refuge?"

Lu Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, and he had a rough guess about the purpose of this so-called cradle.

"Aletheia, what do you think?"

"...Keep going deeper, maybe the truth is just as you guessed."

Since coming to this world, Lu Xiao has always had a question.

Now that the humans in the previous season have been determined to be extinct and dated, how did these new generations of humans appear.

The theory of ape-man evolution can basically be vetoed.

Considering the strong reproduction and inheritance of human beings, Lu Xiao believes that the civilization of the last season should have left some emergency measures.

And the name "cradle" evoked his association, if it is really as he guessed...

"After the extinction of human beings, there is a grand plan that spans nearly a thousand years. It is impossible for such a huge project to be managed by no one?"

Thinking of the secondary agent program mentioned by Aletheia before, Lu Xiao said thoughtfully: "Or is it not a person who is in charge of management?"

Chapter 429 The Cemetery of Civilization

Aletheia is currently working hard to restore the broken log information of Vault 53. According to the records left by the main control terminal, the catastrophe occurred in 2066, but now it is 3020.

Lu Xiao couldn't be sure how advanced human technology was in the first season of the Zero Dawn world, whether there was a gene drug that could allow humans to survive for nearly a thousand years, or whether they used semi-mechanized transformation to maintain an alternative longevity.

If these messy possibilities are ruled out, Lu Xiao speculates that the person responsible for managing the cradle may not be human at all.

Faro's war machines can absorb biological energy to fill their own energy. They have destroyed the earth's ecological circle, and all animals and plants have been sucked out.

Those crazy robots are not as "gentle" as the mechanical beasts in the wild today. When they absorb bioenergy, they can waste the entire forest in a short time.

Lu Xiao didn't know how the earth recovered from a completely dilapidated ecological environment, but at least he was sure of one thing.

Even human beings with immortality cannot return to the surface despite the harsh ecological conditions, which means that he or they will be trapped in the shelter for hundreds of years.

It is unbearable for social creatures like human beings to live in cramped underground spaces for a long time.

Just like the rebellious protagonist in Wandering Earth, people living in the shelter always yearn for the vast world outside, even if they wear protective clothing, they have to venture to the surface to look up at the real starry sky.

In the second season, the degree of civilization development of human beings similar to primitive people also made Lu Xiao very concerned.

No matter what countermeasures Elizabeth Sobek takes, they should preserve the complete history of human civilization and leave the most important technological and cultural heritage of mankind to the newly born ignorant descendants.

The primitive people of these tribes in the outside world obviously did not inherit the heritage of their ancestors, and it can be said that they were groping for development from scratch.

At best, they can obtain some high-tech raw materials from mechanical beasts in the wild, but the level of technology contained in these intelligent machines is far beyond the limit that humans can understand today, and some parts have little effect on the scientific progress of the entire civilization.

Complicated thoughts were spinning in her mind, but Lu Xiao didn't stop on her feet.

He remotely connected his personal foc to the main control terminal of Vault 53, and Aletheia could intuitively witness the whole exploration process from Lu Xiao's perspective.
