Everyone: Are mechanics weak? I wake up and rectify the natural disaster

The mist was flowing quietly in the irregular, weird-shaped cracks that seemed to have been formed by someone piercing the egg shell with the head of a chopstick.

It was like a living thing, rising and falling.

but...

They were all confined within the crack.

I don't know what forces are affecting it.

It is very likely that some kind of force field or energy field inside this space structure whose purpose is temporarily unknown restrains its spread.

In short, its ups and downs have never exceeded the scope of the outer arc of the sphere itself.

And it is obviously the main obstacle inside the structure.

Its existence causes great interference to the scanning performed by external instruments.

"What the hell is this, poisonous smoke? The exhaust gas released after burning something?"

"By the way, what's going on with this crack? Didn't you say that it needs to be opened more carefully?"

Su Wen looked at the strange scene on the screen and said.

This scene is indeed quite strange.

After cleaning away the rock formations, soil, sand and other messy things that had been attached to it for thousands of years, it appeared smooth and flat, full of a certain sense of order and beauty, almost the same shape as the previous 'Ark of Life' , it is just a space structure that has shrunk a lot in size.

Its perfectly round shell has a very irregular crack...

You'll know it at a glance.

It obviously didn't look like it was damaged by naval guns or missiles.

If it were the latter, it wouldn't be this style of painting.

The armor bombarded by naval guns was all damaged very regularly.

If it is a kinetic energy cannon, it will probably form radial cracks inside;

If it was an energy weapon, it might be a perfect circle or an off-center circle with signs of melting on the edge - just like using a red-hot iron rod to forcefully poke a thin wooden board.

As for aerial bombs...

Aerial bombs also have radial bullet holes.

It's irregular.

But it's not like it's been torn apart or poked open by someone, it's full of many cracks.

But the major fault edges are inexplicably smooth.

If it is a weapon attack, there will be some residual material.

For example, the remnants of the warhead scraping against the armor, or the remnants of energy melting.

And now there is nothing.

...it's weird anyway.

Based on Su Wen's thinking ability before he was dragged to the bank party, he couldn't figure out the cause for a while.

As for the stuff inside, I don’t know if it’s smoke or fog...

Well, the way they look is unflattering.

It gives people a very obvious sense of threat.

Su Wenguang looked at the hazy interior of the crack. Almost half of it was shrouded in black smoke, making it difficult for even light to shine through the strange thing. He instinctively felt a sense of resistance.

——He hates this kind of disorderly and uncontrolled thing.

"Based on Helena's report,"

"This is a...well, a residual substance produced after a certain kind of energy has been transformed twice."

"Based on your habits, just think of it as some kind of waste gas - and it is indeed harmful. Some of the ingredients in it have never been seen before, but they are all obviously toxic to carbon-based organisms."

Guanghui, who was sitting in his arms, also looked at the picture and answered kindly.

At the same time, she twisted uneasily.

Su Wen was so excited.

"Did they see any of this shit the last time they were here?"

The Commander had no good way to deal with the witch sitting in his arms, so he could only talk about her left and right.

"I've seen it before,"

Guanghui replied firmly,

"And according to the files they handed over, this thing was one of the main reasons that caused them to lose troops and generals last time."

...She has one more thing left to say.

——According to Helena's analysis, this is also the reason why China previously thought that even the Afterglow Civilization would find it difficult to solve the 'Secret Realm No. 1'.

Because this thing is like the 'demon haze' that spread everywhere on Blue Star during the cataclysm.

It has extremely terrifying interference, blocking, and even damaging effects on any type of electronic equipment.

Before they were fortunate enough to be personally invited to the Solar System Star Base and Blue Star Port 1, Chinese scientific researchers lacked sufficient understanding of the true technological level of the Afterglow Civilization.

...This is also due to the fact that Su Wen has always liked to hide things from China and has always refused to reveal everything.

Can understand.

After all, people don’t have the ability to predict the future.

What's more, there's an ally of the Riddler who can't be beaten with three sticks and always only speaks half of his words.

In short.

In their very limited understanding at the time, they regarded the Afterglow Civilization as a 'civilization composed purely of robots and information life' imagined in science fiction works.

This is not wrong at all.

Mainly on the 'main structure and core components' of the 'robot', there are certain differences in understanding between the two parties:

The Chinese side does not have information technology related to 'tachyons' - although they have indeed observed the existence of these things and have some theoretical research, but it is limited to theoretical research - the understanding of 'information equipment', Still stuck in the era of electronic semiconductors.

At most there is some quantum.

But they don't have a very thorough grasp of that either.

It’s only now that I suddenly realize:

These vicious black mists, which were like a demonic tide, had once terrified them, and even left some not-so-pleasant impressions. In fact, they were not considered real obstacles to their exploration at all.

..

As if to support the information that Guanghui told.

After the 'Osprey' arrived at the breach, passed through the black fog with a shield, and dropped all the units of the Joint Action Team into an entrance formed by the collapsed outer wall.

The passage connected to the collapsed area is only a short distance deep.

I saw corpses scattered on the ground.

...Basically mummified corpses.

They were still wearing all the equipment they had when they were alive, including tactical vests, night vision goggles, helmets, and equipment, all in good order.

But the human body inside has dried up and shrunk into a human shape.

These corpses were stuck to the floor and walls of the passage with a thick layer of dirt that looked like dried asphalt.

Like an ant stuck in glue.

Su Wen looked at this scene expressionlessly.

On the other side, in the control center laboratory facing the starry sky.

Li Xingjie also stared at the picture on the screen without saying a word.

Not far from her.

Lieutenant General Liu Xun, who also stayed at the rear and did not go to the front line in person, silently took off his military cap and held it in his hand.

"Contain their... bodies and pick them up together later."

Li Xingjie lowered her eyes and looked away.

"I didn't have the ability or the conditions before."

“We can’t continue to let them stay in there like that.

As for the specifics...I'll contact someone over there at the VA later. "

She said, turning her head and glancing at the synthetic 'Helen'.

The latter got Su Wen's instruction and nodded naturally.

"We generally don't use coffins, but we can make a batch on site."

Helena said thoughtfully.

It is obvious that as a girl, she always has some unusual and meticulous thoughts in this regard.

"Thank you so much."

Hearing this, Li Xingjie showed a very sincere smile.

..

These were the first victims four years ago.

Military soldiers who were in charge of the vanguard in the first action team.

There are two other people who were caught off guard and should be considered official extraordinary beings from the same issue as Li Xingjie.

They dug shafts directly from the ground.

About eight or nine kilometers down, a crack in the ground was penetrated.

diagonally upward.

I didn't have much time to explore at that time, and I didn't know what was going on on the other side.

I only know that the lower end of the crack is directly connected to the crack outside the 'Secret Realm No. 1' that was still buried deep underground at that time.

In fact, after thinking about it for a while, they could realize that this was probably the first channel through which those 'ancient mysteries' came to Blue Star - if the speculation that 'ancient mysteries originated from alien creations' was true.

In short, there was no follow-up research at the beginning.

After all, a big thing like Secret Realm No. 1 is placed there, and it has a strong sense of existence.

The action team will definitely rush to it as soon as possible.

Entering this half-collapsed hall with an unknown purpose through the crack.

The air-tight door that initially blocked them was blown open with thermite explosives.

Immediately after entering that long corridor...

In order to find a way deeper, they still used blasting.

——Just after one of the airtight doors was destroyed, the black mist leaked.
