Chapter 25: Fragments of Inscriptions
Touched by Mengqi's determination and strength, Nivanch smiled back on his wrinkled cheeks and nodded approvingly.
However, when he heard Mengqi's question, he sighed again and replied, "You belong to the Mengqi clan that lives in the southwest of the swamp, and I can see it at a glance. The Mengqi clan resembles a rabbit, in fact, it is not a rabbit at all, but a new species on the king continent, specializing in cannibalistic dreams for a living, and the favorite is the nightmare, the more terrible the nightmare, the more it can give you the energy to grow. Am I right, little one? ”
"Huh? Right...... Yes, yes, the professor is absolutely right. But how did you come to know us and know our habits so clearly that my people are so well hidden in the swamps, that they do not sleep, and that they do not easily appear in broad daylight? Mengqi was so surprised that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"Hehe," Ni Vanchi smiled, and the desolation in his smile was even worse, "The humans in the Wisdom City originated from a magical species, called super-intelligent lifeforms. This kind of human race, I believe that the people on the King Continent are no strangers, and mistakenly take many people who do not belong to this kind of people as them, just like mismisunderstanding your Mengqi clan as rabbits. ”
"Oh oh oh~"
Meng Qi replied repeatedly, thinking that the old professor was saying tongue twisters.
Nivanch continued, "Before the establishment of the Wisdom City, super-intelligent life forms began to grow. After the establishment of the city, before the revival of civilization, they were like primitive people who drank blood, could not find fire, could not eat cooked food, and did not have houses to cover their heads, so they slept on the streets. But one day, when one of them found a piece of metal with some words written on it, which was the method of establishing a city-state, human life was completely changed. ”
"Did you learn where you came from the records of the metal fragments?" Mengqi asked.
Nivanch replied, "Who's to say it's not?" No one remembers their origins, and when the first people came to consciousness, they had to flee the ship they were in to avoid dying in the big bang. They thought they belonged to the King Continent, but in fact, they all came from a distant place. When ejected from the place where they awoke, they were surrounded by shattered, glass-like and metal-like debris that was actually solid light, and there were residues on the ground from the drying up of the life culture fluid, all of which were evidence that they had been produced in an unusual way. The only piece of metal, although it does not contain much content, mentions a term many times: 'earth'. Therefore, we no longer doubt that the earth is the origin of the wisdom city, the place where our ancestors lived, so we revered it as the origin earth or ancient earth. ”
"Oh, that's what it looks like!" Dream Wonder realizes.
"That piece of metal is intact in the Science Museum of the Smart City, and we gave it a name, the inscription," Nivanch said. We have every reason to believe that there is definitely more than one fragment of similar inscriptions, at least ten, nay, even more, so many that we can hardly imagine. These debris are scattered all over the continents, and perhaps in the universe very close to us. So what does this mean? ”
At the end of the sentence, Nivanch actually threw a question at Mengqi.
Mengqi looked at the old man stupidly, muttered and asked, "What does it mean?" ”
Nivanch asked, but he didn't think he could really answer, so he said the answer himself: "It shows that a few years ago, an indescribably large spaceship brought us here. However, when the spacecraft landed, it exploded for some unknown reason and was blown to pieces. The wreckage of the ship will either be submerged in the swamp or mixed into the mud, and it will never be found again. The items carried on the ship were scattered, and the origin of the spacecraft became a mystery. ”
"Really...... It's true? Mengqi was a little unconvinced, but this was said by Nivanqi, who seemed to be extremely knowledgeable, how could he doubt it?
Nivanchi said: "We all believe that such an inference is absolutely true, and only such an inference can explain where the King Continent originated. The smart city is a certain carrier module of the spacecraft, and the cabin simulates the real scene of a certain place on the ancient earth. Because of the reinforcement and protection of the carrier module in advance, it was able to survive the explosion intact, but unfortunately some of the super-intelligent life forms were thrown out and scattered to other parts of the continent. What is even more unacceptable is that there are some evil things that have penetrated into the smart city with the impact of the Big Bang and permeated the artificial atmosphere. They are like particles, but they are different from any of the existing particles that we have found. They are colorful and colorful, but they have incredibly powerful energy that can cause any destructive force. In my opinion, they are only dormant at the moment, and in the event of a major explosion, the smart city may be destroyed by them, and there will be no tiles left. ”
"What...... What the? ”
Mengqi was shocked again and almost fell headlong. He pointed to the intoxicating glass bottles and stammered, "Professor Nivanchi, do you mean that those beautiful spirits who can dance are the evil forces that want to destroy the Wisdom City?" ”
Nivanch nodded heavily, but shook his head inexplicably and stopped talking.
Mengqi was bold, cautiously approaching a glass bottle and looking into the bottle with wide eyes. The golden and pink light was so pleasing to the eye that no one could associate them with the vile evil forces unless the professor pointed them out, but only happily compared them to elves or even angels.
Nivanch added: "I have studied these things with my children all our lives. Whether they are the same as unidentified particles in the atmosphere is difficult to conclude. ”
"That'...... That means there could be two substances threatening the Smart City? Mengqi understood.
Nivanch nodded sadly and said, "Yes, the tragic story doesn't stop there. Little Slingshot's parents offended the people of the Authority because they had offended the people of the Authority by saying a few fair words for the demon species, and they were not allowed to return for a year. They didn't complain, they didn't get frustrated, and the one-year expulsion was just what they wanted, so they could go to the swamp to collect specimens. However, an accident happened, they were tragically killed while collecting specimens, and I grew up raising a little slingshot alone. Aside from taking care of my grandson, I spend all my time in this laboratory, hoping to figure out the relationship between the unknown particles and the evil light, what kind of species they are, and what they want to do to the smart city. I've always believed that these things are the same force as the ones who destroyed the spaceship that carried us. Once you've figured out what's in the bottle, you'll probably be able to figure out how the spaceship crashed! ”
"Little Slingshot's parents, dead in the swamp?"
Mengqi was shocked again, and infinite sympathy was born in his heart. He had no affection for the cruel child, but now he no longer harbored disgust.
"Professor, where did your child get killed in the swamp, do you remember? Would you mind telling me what kind of specimens they were collecting? Mengqi asked.
Nivenki's loving gaze became scrutinizing again, and he looked at Mengqi and said, "You little thing is very smart. You guessed it, they died in the mire to explore the Mongis. ”
