Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

This is not good for anyone, and the ending is obvious.

The Rem Billiton guerrillas led by Morrison are a positive example. From the very beginning, the international did not invest much aid in them, and every time it was a fair deal.

In this way, the organization has strong autonomy from the very beginning, and it can survive tenaciously and continue to grow in a ghost place like Rim Billiton.

The truth is this truth, but it is not so simple to accept it, but Robert quickly recovered.

"You just said it was free, so what about paid transactions?"

"That must be no problem, no matter it is money or any resources, we will buy them at a fair price, and then sell them to you at a discount.

If you have no money, we also provide low-interest or no-interest loans, but the amount is limited. "

As he said that, the idle wolf suddenly remembered something.

"Having said that, there are actually two programs that can be offered for free."

"Please say?"

"The first one is training, you can send troops, officers or doctors can be sent to Edelweiss for further training, we will not charge any fees.

The second is intelligence support. We will use this valley as a base to establish an intelligence center and send agents to the Victorian Empire.

As a reward we will provide you with all the information about Victoria. "

"Thank you so much!"

Needless to say what these two points represent, they basically make up for the two most important shortcomings of the Tara Self-Defense Force.

Next, Robert naturally directly selected some people who were going to follow the idle wolf back to Edelweiss, and at the same time asked about the price of some needed materials, especially the most important food.

It's just that the idle wolf really doesn't understand these things, so it can only be said later, and promises to send a batch of food after returning to Edelweiss, as a last aid.

It was during this period that Captain Kelly, who was exploring the caves in the valley, sent his men to report to Robert a piece of news that surprised even the idle wolves.

The cave inside the mountain is much deeper than expected. The exploration team found traces of human life in the depths of the cave.

Chapter 1763 Karst Cave

When it comes to the traces of human existence, the first thing Idle Wolf thinks of is whether people will get there first.

Wasteland wanderers, nomads, caravans, Rusthammer, and other bandit groups.

Most of the people who are active in the wasteland are of these types, and their trajectories of activities are not fixed, so it is not surprising that they appear here.

But this time, the idle wolf was wrong. What Captain Kelly's team discovered was not so superficial, but something rarer and more valuable.

Relics of previous civilizations.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Terra. Before the idle wolf came to this land, he had seen many buildings similar to the ruins in the character card.

At first she thought it was just a card face, but when she came to this land, she realized that there was actually another human civilization before contemporary humans.

The civilization of Terra has gone through many spiral roads, and the existence of natural disasters can easily cause a civilization to die prematurely.

The civilization is built layer by layer on the remains of the previous generation of civilization, absorbing the nutrition of the previous generation to accelerate its growth until it can resist natural disasters.

Even professional scholars can't tell exactly which generation of civilization each ruin belongs to, let alone these ordinary Tara people. They can only see that these buildings are completely different from the current Victoria.

At present, the technology tree of Terra humans has embarked on its own path, but it did go through the path of scientific research relying on archaeology during the period when it was just started.

In the past, Idle Wolf has also heard such a theory, that is, since the technology tree is a tree, every step in it is extremely critical.

If it is a step-by-step upward research and development, then this tree will be extremely healthy and will eventually grow into a towering tree.

But if you take a shortcut, you can’t see anything at the beginning, but the more you get to the later, the more you can feel that this tree can no longer grow, and the skipped steps become shackles, locking the growth of the technology tree .

Perhaps in the end, the machinery will become a sacred object, and the bread machine will not be able to be manufactured because of the loss of blueprints.

The road that seems to be a shortcut is actually a dead end.

However, Terra seems to have skipped such restrictions. They started from archaeology, but embarked on their own path.

In modern times, the remains of civilization that have not been excavated are still of considerable value, but they are not that important.

But it was the first time that Idle Wolf was so close to this kind of relic, and she couldn't restrain her curiosity, so she proposed to take a look.

Of course, Robert has nothing to do with this. In his eyes, this ruin has become something like a source stone mine.

The Tara Self-Defense Forces have too few things that can be traded, and the money they will use to trade in the future may be stored in this relic, but everything needs to be identified first.

Robert felt that he should pay more attention to the idle wolf's expression, which was related to her view of the ruins.

Karst caves are somewhat different from ordinary caves. The air in ordinary caves must be dull because of the lack of ventilation.

Ordinary people can feel a sense of oppression as long as they go in, and they just feel uncomfortable all over.

But because of the ventilation of some dark rivers and lakes in the cave, the air here is cleaner than the outside world.

This may be due to the relatively low density of Originium dust here.

However, if there is a landslide in the cave, it will be different. If you happen to encounter a place without ventilation, it will also suffocate people. Therefore, the Tara Self-Defense Forces must also pay attention to strengthening the cave in the future.

Captain Kelly's exploration this time also has the purpose of exploring the ventilation of the cave. He wants to see if there is an underground river passing through the cave. This is related to the daily water use of the Tara people who live here in the future.

At the same time, I also want to see how deep the cave is, and whether there are any wild animals in it that will threaten the lives of civilians.

As a result, I found such a magical thing, and found that the cave was deeper than I thought.

Holding a bright flashlight in her hand, Idle Wolf looked towards the underground ruins, and the buildings that appeared in front of her didn't look like things that would appear here.

Originally, she thought that the ruins that would appear in the mountain should be some underground facilities.

It's like a subway, an air-raid shelter, a mountain fortress or something.

As a result, the buildings here look like a small town.

This town doesn't seem to have any particularly unique style, it's just an ordinary block building. Maybe when technology develops to a certain stage, the towns will all have the same style?

But what is certain is that this town is definitely not a mobile town, this is a town fixed on the ground.

To say why it is so certain, because the idle wolf saw something called the foundation.

At the same time, because it is inside the mountain, many buildings in this relic town are in the mountain, but only a corner is exposed. In front of the idle wolf, there are only a few small buildings that are still intact, but The upper part is also in the mountain.

After all, it's not like someone built a city in a mountain, but a city turned into a mountain.

If it weren't for the appearance of this cave, the ruins of this city might not be able to see the light of day again.

However, it is precisely because of the cave that it is not in the mountain, and the exposed buildings are also extremely corroded. The humidity here is not low at all.

But just like this, only seeing the surface and not exploring the inside, the idle wolf has already thought that there are many things that can be studied.

For example, how many years ago this building was built, and the building materials here made her very curious. If it was ordinary concrete, it would definitely not be able to maintain its original state.

Or because it's underground?

Some holes can still be seen on this concrete-like building material, which seems to be the place where the steel bars are used. As a result, the steel bars have corroded long ago, and only this building material remains.

Similarly, the door of the building has no power to withstand the power of time, and now there is only a dark hole left there.

Do you want to go in?

Idle Wolf couldn't make up her mind for a moment, she pinched the "concrete" with her hands, only to find that it would shatter with a little force, and it seemed that it was barely corroded.

Maybe the part that wasn't exposed to the air would be better, but she couldn't touch that kind of place now.

Inside the mountain, Idle Wolf also saw the existence of the source stone mine, and the reflection of the flashlight told her that this was a high-quality source stone mine.

Thinking about the geological natural disasters seen in Warrenmud in the past, that is the force that can tear the earth apart. Could it be that this is a town that was swallowed underground by that kind of natural disaster?

Chapter 1764 Goodbye

What would a city be like if there were no human ladies and fairies after the decline of human beings?

I am afraid that the plants used to decorate the green belt will be swallowed by various weeds first, and then the whole city will be covered with these plants and become a real steel forest.

However, wandering in such a ruined city, the idle wolf did not see any traces of plants, not even the fossils of plants.

Of course, she didn't pay attention to that kind of thing, maybe the fossils of plants are lying in a certain corner of this mountain?

So how will the city develop after it becomes a real forest?

The idle wolf can't imagine, but she has seen the real thing, just like the buildings in front of her eyes.

Stepping into the depths of the building step by step, the ruins whose shape can still be seen from the outside can't be seen at all inside.

The staircase was broken, but even if it wasn't broken, it wouldn't be able to bear her weight anymore, and she could only give up the idea of ​​going up from here.

The place where the elevator seems to be is now only a hollow. The elevator and the elevator door that should have been made of metal are gone. There is only a hollow. If you shine a flashlight on it, it looks like a stone cave. The presence.

The parts above the third floor have been submerged into the mountain. If you climb up from here, can you see a new space or what?

The idle wolf did not rush forward, in case there is a confined space above, the confined air brought by countless years may contain deadly poisonous gas.

Besides, archaeology is not suitable for her. Strictly speaking, she is already destroying the archaeological site here, but there is no such category as archaeologists in Terra now, and most of them are regardless of explorers. It's destructive excavation, and it's not out of the ordinary for her to do so.

The idea of ​​protecting the relics is a little bit but not too much. After all, compared with the survival of people today, the importance of these ancient relics is not that high.

Walking in such a building, judging from the structure, it should be an apartment. She doesn't know the height of the floors, but there are at least 6 floors up if the elevator can be used.

The entrance she just entered was the door of the apartment, and on both sides of the corridor were different houses in the apartment.

In the classic structure of two rooms and one living room, the furniture inside has long been corroded, probably because these areas have been exposed to the high humidity air in the cave.

It was in the area that looked like a restaurant that Idle Wolf finally got something, and found some tableware here.

This is a broken glass container, and some remains of metal containers can be seen on the side of this container.

After thousands of years, the originally fragile glass can last longer, while the seemingly hard metal has rusted to the point where there is nothing left.

She couldn't find pottery and porcelain. Perhaps pottery has been abandoned by civilization that has developed to this stage. As for porcelain?

There is no soil suitable for making porcelain in Victoria, and only thousands of years will not change the geology. I think the civilizations that lived here in the past also faced this problem.

Apart from this glass vessel, Idle Wolf really has nothing. She knows that there are countless treasures in this town, but those treasures are all buried in the mountains without any contact with the air, and she has no way to dig them now.

She doesn't dare to use her Originium skills here, that would be pure destruction.

"Your Excellency, idle wolf, are you alright?"

Captain Kelly didn't send anyone to follow him, fearing that too many people entering this unstable building would cause unpredictable dangers. Footsteps and voices also have a strong destructive force in this kind of place, so he only dared to whisper outside. One sound.

"I'm fine, I'll be right out."
