There are countless fragmented space fragments in this world, and large and small land, rivers and even oceans can be found in each space fragment, and in these space fragments, you can often find the relics of civilization left by the ancient times for some time, and the indigenous people of this world will vividly call these space fragments "lost world", with the development of civilization, these lost world has become a part of the life of local indigenous people, and even the home of some rare races in this world......

This is all the information we have until today related to the "Lost World Realm" of this world.

Today, however, an ancient mystery that people did not expect at all suddenly emerged from these seemingly unbizarre lost worlds, everything was confusing and clueless, and it was impossible to grasp any of the points, but the mere fact that had been exposed had already made everyone's minds highly nervous: intuition told everyone that we were in contact with an unprecedented secret.

And this secret points directly to the biggest cornerstone of the new empire: Gaia, the home planet of the fifteenth heavenly zone of the old empire.

The surface of the boulder square where the Sky Tower is located is engraved with lines handed down from ancient times, and no one noticed these curved stone grooves at first, until Lin Xue inadvertently put his "sight" on the entire Sky Tower, and only then did he see the full picture of these lines, in the monitoring room of the Sky Tower, The ancient inscriptions in the square coincide with the silhouette of the western hemisphere of the home planet Gaia: in reality, this shattered realm and the nearest frontier of the Old Empire are separated by an indescribable "distance" of the void.

If this is just a confusing "information problem", then what follows is something even more unbelievable. The Hanging River, which we had just taken an hour of boat ride on, was identical in shape and size to a river on our home planet, Gaia, and the ancient gardens we had visited before corresponded to a savannah in Gaia's northern hemisphere. This kind of "no difference" is not just as simple as the silhouette can be corresponding. Rather, it encompasses every surface relief and detail of the entire region, so just comparing the two places, we are 100% sure that they are exactly the same.

Since the Empire was asleep, the parent planet Gaia has stopped geological evolution - artificial planets created by the Empire have such functions. When the system is in standby, everything on the entire planet is frozen in order to prevent an accident in the next system reboot, so to this day, the home planet Gaia still retains the same landscape as it was before the fall of the old empire. And the "Lost World Realm" in this remote universe ......

"It hasn't evolved either," Sandora had come to a conclusion ten minutes earlier as she had released a batch of probes to collect data on the flow of information in this small piece of the Lost World Realm where the Sky Tower was located, but it didn't make her any less happy. "In fact, you don't need to explore to think that the Lost World Realm is built on space debris, and it lacks the power to change more than a rocky planet with a cool core, and it can remain the same for tens of millions of years - unless the entire floating land is weathered."

"Nothing has changed here. It's the same with Gaia. The angel sister still had that natural appearance, and muttered, "That is to say, these Lost Worlds are similar to snapshots, preserving the original appearance of their birth. They were born when their home planet, Gaia, was asleep. That's basically it. ”

There is only one problem that Sandora and Alaya are arguing, and that is that neither Gaia nor the Lost Universe here have undergone geological changes over a long period of time, and their characteristic agreement is completely unquestionable, and points to the only possibility:

"The Lost World. It's the broken home planet. Sandora concluded.

"It's getting more and more unbelievable," Bingtis frowned, "absurd, very absurd." Sandora, I know it's your business, but I can't help but interject: you don't have any impression of what is here? ”

Sandora glanced at Bingtis. This question has been asked several times in the past ten minutes, and she is too lazy to answer the other party now. Sister Bing didn't care. She was thinking about something else: "Well, just one thing: the home planet, Gaia, is now in your shadow space intact, without a single scratch, as if she had just unpacked it." And here comes the ...... Now it is certain that there are two places that are 100% consistent with some of the landforms on the home planet Gaia, the Hanging River and the Ancient Garden, could they have come from a replica? Maybe someone in the Old Imperial Era copied the home planet of the Fifteen Heavens Zone and threw it in this place where birds don't, and then I don't know what happened to the replica planet, and the replica planet was blown up, and the debris was scattered everywhere......"

"What's more," I glanced at Bing Tis, "That's the fifteen days of the year when the capital star of the fifteen days district, and if you say copy, you can copy it?" And Gaia herself doesn't know anything about it? Do you think anyone can unknowingly duplicate a Father's temple and throw it into the depths of the void and blow it up? ”

Bing Teis thought about it, and estimated that he also felt that what he said was quite unreliable, so he decisively shut up and went to draw a circle next to him.

"Now, Ah Jun, I have an idea, can you say it?" Shallow suddenly tugged at my sleeve and whispered. Me: "...... You said. ”

Although she is good at speaking amazingly most of the time, I have to admit that her out-of-the-box thinking often gets to the point with strange accuracy, and the mind that is not bound by common sense has infinite potential, and I am also curious about what Qianqian thinks.

"Let's go to the other Lost World Realms, shall we?" After thinking about it for a while, he snapped his fingers and said, "I remember that I counted the Lost World Realm here, and it is conservatively estimated that they are the size of several mother planets, and there is only one mother planet, so there must be some fragments that cannot be matched with Gaia, and even land fragments that can be matched with the mother planet are actually quite different, right?" For example, the plants in the ancient garden, we have never seen them on the home planet. We're all too caught up in the same places to ignore the differences—maybe we can find the answer from them? ”

I looked at Qianqian in surprise, surprised by the rapid progress in my lovely girlfriend's intelligence, and happily pinched the other person's nose: "Girl, I almost forgot about this!" How did you come up with that? ”

Shallow embarrassed and a little proud to puff up his chest: "I played half the night yesterday, everyone came to find faults......"

Moment. The air around her froze, and Iceis chuckled dryly and continued to make circles on the ground: she was almost scratching out of the groundwater.

It is unrealistic to detect all the space debris in this chaotic world at the same time, but the Lost World Realm itself that is connected to the home continent at the same time is also a large number. There are at least dozens of them, and with these bases, larger explorations can begin. Now no one has the mentality of playing in the mountains and rivers anymore...... Well, well, except for some really heartless guys, such as the Protoss Sliver Five and a bunch of doll heads, the others no longer have the mentality of playing in the mountains and rivers. So we moved quickly, starting with a sufficient number of probes to allow these agile little creatures to travel to other Lost Worlds in our place. It doesn't take long. It's just that it's a bit tricky to transfer: you have to teleport from the Sky Tower to the Hanging River, and then from the Hanging River back to the home continent, and then travel to the various space debris from projection points around the home continent. However, probes have the ability to jump, and the last thing we care about is the distance. And we asked for the common cycle calendar in this world from Sagina. This calendar, summed up by countless explorers, allows us to directly grasp the time and place when most of the Lost Realm and the Mother Continent are connected. It's a lot less effort to act.

"The probe has already departed, but there are some worlds that will not open for a while," Sandora flipped through the calendar in her hand, "I will probably get up in the evening or tomorrow morning to get all the information." Now we have some time to go. Do you want to continue your search for this tower? ”

I looked at the Sky Tower projected by Alayya, it was an unusually large structure, and even Aliyah could only detect half of what was under the Sky Tower, and what we had found so far must only be a small part, anyway. It seems necessary to continue exploring.

"Go on," I exhaled, "a tower of this size, it can't be a place to put a monitor, it collects so much energy, it has to be of some use—I'm targeting the shadows on the upper floors of the Sky Tower that can't be scanned." ”

The upper level of the Sky Tower is inaccessible to Alayya's current visitor privileges. There may be a higher level of alert there, and even defenses that cannot be shut down. If they are defenses made by ordinary civilizations, we can ignore them, but they are the creations of the old empire - then even we should pay attention. But naturally everyone will not give up because of this little danger, but out of caution, I still looked at Sagina and Sona: "Next is to go to the unknown area, that place is even we can't figure it out, do you still want to follow?" ”

"Is there danger," Sona glanced at me, then nodded firmly, "It's okay, half-dragons aren't afraid of danger!" ”

"Don't worry," Sagina said more bluntly, "You're all pretty good anyway, and Sona and I will hide as soon as the time comes." ”

I set my eyes on the son again, my cheap sister is the one with the lowest combat effectiveness in our family, although she is also studying at the military academy, but after all, she is still very weak, and her profession is still a maid of the cheating......

"Don't worry about me, brother," Tsumiko said with a confident smile and a heroic swagger, "The maid-style arcane charged fighting technique and the maid-style heavy fire bombardment technique are prepared for this kind of scene!" ”

But none of them sounded like they were for maids! What the hell did Anvina write in the textbook?

Alaya used the crystal cluster to activate the teleportation of the most rear, sending everyone to the highest level of the Sky Tower that she could access, this time it took noticeably longer, usually just a flash of white light, but this time I felt that the teleportation beam lasted for a few seconds, and it was clear that some of the remaining scanning system was still at the level of identifying visitors. When the white light dissipated, we found ourselves in ...... Came to a large forest.

Surrounded by lush shrubs and vines, and surrounded by towering trees, this place is exactly like a primeval forest! It's just that all the plants are something we haven't seen before, not only the form is different from the common plants, but even the leaves are not the green of the usual plants, but a cold steel blue color mixed with dark green. A breeze blew from nowhere. The rustling of the branches of the forest is mixed with a crisp sound like the symphony of gold and iron.

What a strange place, what a strange plant.

"Forest?!" Sakina cried out in amazement, looking at the towering ancient trees and various shrubs and vines around her, "How can it be a forest?" Not in the tower...... Are we being teleported outside? ”

"Not true. It's still in the tower, you look at it. Sando retorted, pointing straight up.

Through the lush foliage overhead, you can faintly see the "sky", there are blue sky, there are white clouds, there is a warm sun, and there is a display of "the current ecological index is good." Seventy-two days to go."

"The sky is made of holographic projections, it's actually a dome," Alayah flapped his wings and flew into the air, crashing through a large pile of branches. After dropping a large pile of feathers, he came into contact with the "sky". Her voice came from high in the sky, amplified with the help of mana so loud that it was clear to everyone here, and then we saw a huge gap in the sky suddenly appear, revealing a large intricate metallic pattern from behind the gap. "I interfered with part of the projection, which is the roof of the tower."

Alaya then reverted to the projection of the sky - the sudden absence of a piece of sky protruding from the ceiling looked strange.

"Boom-click-pop!" After a loud and chaotic noise, Sister Angel fell in front of me with scattered feathers and rotten leaves, and weeds were on her head: "Brother Sovereign, I'm back." The tone is particularly indifferent, which is a typical habitual phenomenon.

She has become accustomed to doing everything she usually does, and she is clumsy to make the chicken fly and the dog jump......

I stepped forward to help this stupid guy pick the straw sticks off his head and wings. Sandora finished searching the surrounding environment, frowned and said: "As expected, the space here has been expanded, and the entire floor is a huge ecological area, complete with light and air. water cycle, and magnetic field fine-tuning...... Wait a minute. The life form here is not right, not just the appearance...... They are not from the plants of the mother continent! ”

Sandora said, creating a holographic projection in the air showing a small sample of tree bark she had taken.

"Looking at these fibers, there are a lot of crystalline structures in the middle, which replaces the cell tissue, which is not a phenomenon in the indigenous plants of this world." Sandora pointed to the magnified area on the holographic projection, and I saw the biological tissue that looked like a crystal grid.

It's just a matter of detail, but now, no detail can be ignored, and Sandora's discovery made me a little concerned. As far as we can tell us so far, the animals and plants growing in the "Lost World" of this world have a relationship with the mother continent, that is to say, even if they are completely different species, they also have the same form of life, for example, as long as there are multicellular organisms on the earth, no matter what kind of animals or plants, they are all composed of cells, and the same is true in this world, and the species grown in the lost world are also composed of cells on the basis of life, even if they are strange. But the plants that grow in this tower space are different from everything else on the mother continent, and their structural basis turns out to be a crystalline body - apparently, they come from another life system that is different from any of the plants that exist in the mother continent.

"It's something on the home planet," Alayah studied and concluded, "this crystalline structure is peculiar to the plants of the home planet." ”

"In other words, this layer preserves ecological samples from the parent planet Gaia?" My sister thought of a possibility.

"Not necessarily," Alayah threw away the stick in his hand, "I can only be sure that these plants are homologous to the plants of the parent planet on a life-like basis, but their specific species...... It's the first time I've seen it. These trees, and these flowers and vines, are all not available on the home planet. ”

The question that has been raised countless times today is once again in everyone's hearts: for what?

Why is there a species here that can be judged at a glance to be homologous to the parent star plant, but has never been seen?

"Alayah, your name appears again."

Monina's voice could be heard in the distance, she had just run out of the city to investigate the situation, and now she had made a new discovery.

In a small clearing 100 meters away, Monina found a metal dome that could be one of the monitoring points in the eco-zone, and on the holographic projection next to the dome we see again Alaye's name: she is the chief designer of the floor known as the "First Ecological Dome". I've seen a similar situation before, but this time I'm a lot less surprised, look at the angel sister, the confusion on the other party's face is no less than others, and her answer naturally doesn't need to ask.

"I don't remember, I haven't seen anything here." Sister Angel said very dryly.

"Alright, let's move on somewhere else," I knew that there was probably only one question after another that I could gain today, but I decided to move on, "Alayah, can you still find a way to teleport to the higher levels?" ”

Once at this level, Alayya's visitor privileges are no longer available, and the part above the Sky Tower is completely out of our control. On the lower floor, you can teleport at will through crystal clusters, but if you go up, I'm afraid it won't be so simple.

"You can teleport, but you're not sure what's there," Alaya summoned her model of the light again, the red patch representing everyone's location was already on the edge of the shaded area marked with "Nodata", "The way the crystal cluster is encoded, you can enter the floor anywhere, but we may have to face the guards in the core area." ”

I don't have to think about the security anymore, as long as I can teleport, I am relieved.

Whatever lies ahead, there is only one thing to do now......

"If it's a man, it's enough to go up a hundred floors!!"
