Chapter 23: Exploring the Museum
With the help of local Merlot, I quickly got my museum pass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 In fact, the procedure for entering the museum is quite simple, Dallas Plus encourages locals to enter the museum to learn about their own history, and they can get a pass for free with their identity information, while outsiders need to pay 100 yuga dollars to enter. Of course, Melo had already bought tickets for Renault and them.
"Friends, I wish you all the gains." Melo delivers three passes to Renault.
"Why, Mr. Mei doesn't go in and have a look." Renault saw that Melo only had three passes in his hand, and he already understood what Melo meant.
Merlot smiled: "I have been active for a thousand years, I have to take a break, the girls in Hechuan Pavilion are very beautiful, much more fun than the old antiques here, I will not accompany them." ”
"So, thank you so much, then say goodbye here. If there is fate, I hope to see you again. Renault also knew that in one day this place would enter the petrification period again, and he would not wait here for 2,000 Earth days.
Saying goodbye to Merlot, the three of them entered the museum, which was in order, and naturally it was cleaned by robots, but no one came, and there was only Renault and them in the huge museum.
The museum has three floors, with both textual descriptions and physical displays. Here Renault saw many ancient things, such as stone mills, tractors, etc., as well as spaceships and space mechs that Renault was familiar with, which were not the point. However, when it comes to items with the same technology as the federal government, Dallascar is only halfway through its history, and almost every thing that follows has shocked Renault, such as the Sixth Sense Generator, Energy Cycle Technology, Stealth Spaceship, and Chrono Warframe......
"Damn, is our future going to be like this?" It is inconceivable that the human body can dissolve and reassemble at any time like molecules, and even if it is seriously injured, it will not die.
"Then what is there to war, no one will die in war." Tycos sighed.
Even if Renault is well-informed, he can only gasp at the moment, this is simply the history of human development in the future, and Renault tries to remember these things in his mind.
The historical museum battlefield is more than 30,000 square meters, and Renault They went around in it for a whole day, and the towering cylinder once again sent a message that the city of Dallas would enter the petrification period in 4 hours.
At the end of the history museum, it is a speculative picture, although the Mayan civilization is highly developed, but the extreme wealth of material civilization has led to the lack of spiritual civilization, suicides occur from time to time, the gods have abandoned all life, the three major passages connecting the divine realm have all collapsed, and all civilizations have been shrouded in darkness.
It was an abstract painting of the human world filled with regions and demons......
Renaud, Tycos, and Carmela felt a strange power, their heads ached and nauseated, and their whole people seemed to have fallen into the end of the world, and it was also because their wills were much stronger than ordinary people, and they finally broke free from the demonic illusion. The three of them gasped for breath, and the cold sweat on their foreheads continued to seep out.
Fortunately, it was a hallucination, Renault let out a long breath, and suddenly his head jerked to one side, and a figure in a sackcloth cloak appeared behind him. Suddenly nervous again, Renault shouted loudly: "Who? ”
"You're all right." The voice was gentle and old, and the long cloak covered the face of the visitor, revealing a mysterious aura everywhere, "Why are you still here, come out quickly." ”
There was no murder in the old woman's tone, and Renault took one last look at the mural and followed the old woman out.
It was still bright daylight outside, and Renault could clearly see the old face under the cloak, wrinkles crawling all over the face, full of gray hair, and even a few teeth left, according to the standards of the federal government, this mother-in-law was at least 150 years old.
According to Merlot, people here can live up to 10,000 years, and each petrification period will undergo reverse growth, so there should not be such an old face. Renault asked, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Aximon, you can just call me Granny Simon, I'm a native of Dallascar, the curator here."
The director of the museum, with such an identity, naturally has a higher status than Merlot, but why is it the way it is now?
Seeing Renault's puzzled eyes, Granny Simon laughed dryly: "Oh, you don't believe me. Okay, but you don't have much time to ask, and you'll be petrified in less than an hour. And the men of the tower have done evil again. ”
"Petrified! Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this, Merlot said that petrification is only cast on locals, and outsiders are not eligible for petrification treatment. ”
"Haha. Ahem. Granny Simon suddenly laughed wildly, but the aging of his body made him cough sharply, "How can Merlot's words be believed?" It's really a joke, for tens of thousands of years, countless people have broken into petrified and then cleaned up, and their group of blood-sucking monsters will only hide inside and harm people. ”
Granny Simon's eyes were full of mixed emotions, but her eyes were fixed on the towering cylinder.
"Hey, old woman, don't talk nonsense. Mr. Merlot is a good man, and I think you're a monster. Tycos said angrily.
"No, Tycos, my mother-in-law is right, it's just a trap." Renault said.
"Chief, what do you mean? Could it be that Mellot deceived us, impossible? ”
"Tycos, Merlot is actually a robot." Renault's words immediately caused a violent reaction like a landmine.
"Chief, you're right. How could Mellot be a robot, I've never seen such a realistic robot. Even Carmela shouted.
Granny Simon looked at Renault and said with appreciation: "Finally, there is another person who understands, young man, how did you find out." What a strange guy, for tens of thousands of years, you were the first person to come to the museum, and the first person to be able to identify a high-imitation robot. ”
"Merlot is really a robot?" Tycos and Carmela asked in unison.
"That's right. Dallascar's technology is really good, and their robots are good enough to be real, and if it weren't for the electric meal, I would never have doubted them. ”
After being reminded by Renault, Tycos and Carmela carefully recalled the super cool ice cream food, but still couldn't believe that Merlot was a robot.
Renault said: "How do you feel when you eat electric food? ”
"It's cool!"
"And then?" Renault asked.
"Merlot said it was a food made with energy that could directly replenish the body, but I didn't feel anything other than stimulating the taste." Carmela recalled.
"Don't you have his two children, who seem to only eat electric meals, and don't even look at the food on the table."
Renault's prompt, and finally Carmela also sensed that something was wrong.
Granny Simon said, "Well, don't guess. In fact, electric meals are used to replenish energy for robots, and this kind of thing can be found everywhere in shopping malls, and that's because the city is full of robots. And the real humans are all hiding inside that column. It's like a turtle with a shrunken head! ”
"Mother-in-law, what is your identity?" Now that the situation is clear, Renault asked politely.
"I was once the one who hid in that pillar, and I also tried to gain the legendary immortal powers. But that's just vanity, because we are afraid of death, we lose our homes, we lose our cities, and make this a city of robots. The entire Mayan civilization has fallen, how long can we hold out. Perhaps this is God's arrangement, so that I can still see you before I die, and you must open the passage of the divine realm and restore the Mayan civilization. Granny Simon's face turned pale and she gasped for breath from the overexcitement.
"Mother-in-law, what are we going to do?" Renault asked, holding Granny Simon.
"In half an hour, you will turn into stone people, and before that, enter the power pillar, find the Mayan temple, obtain the divine decree, and carry forward the Mayan civilization." Granny Simon said that at the end, her breath was already weak, and Renault took out the special medicine from her backpack, but was rejected by Granny Simon.
"The Dallascar civilization has developed to the present, and there is no disease that cannot be treated, but unfortunately it cannot change the fate of extinction. They hid inside, and I waited here for the heir at the cost of half my life. Now that my life has come to an end, it's time to say goodbye. Children take my word to me, restore the Mayan civilization, and return God to the earth. Simon's chest gasped sharply, but suddenly stopped, and his body went limp.
"Boss, Granny Simon is dead."
Renault laid Simon's body flat and bowed three times to show respect for the old man.
"There's about ten minutes left, and we've got to hurry." Renault rushed to the street with Carmela and Tycos. The bustling crowd on the streets was now gone, and they returned to their homes as usual to wait for the petrification period to come.
Renault called a robo-taxi, which traveled faster than light, arriving almost instantaneously even though they were far away from the cylinder. Renault took out the 100 yugads that Merlot had given him and paid the fare, and walked straight to the gate under the cylinder.
The defense outside the gate was very tight, and all kinds of heavily armed robots saw Renault from afar: "Hey! This is not the place for you to come, all citizens please go back to your homes and wait for the petrification period to come. ”
"Yes, sir." As he spoke, he swung his iron fist, and the robot in front of him was defenseless, and was hit by a blow from Tycos with all his might, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Mom, my hands hurt." Tycos shook his hand vigorously, but Renault didn't bother to pay attention to him and shouted, "Let me break in!" ”
The three of them held the Khules laser gun and rushed towards the gate.
