"What is this? Genie? ”

Looking at the mysterious girl lying in the sleeping pod revealing her long pointed ears that did not look like a human, my sister couldn't help but mutter.

Then I heard a noise not far away, and Lilina dug out of the garbage heap that she had buried alive and squeezed into the middle of us: "What? Genie? Where are the elves? ”

As I picked the crystal shards from her hair, I pointed to the people in the sleeping pod, "Look at her ears, aren't they elves?" ”

Lilina observed for a while, and then suddenly changed her body, switching from human form to demigod form, and turned into the little elf with green hair and pointed ears, grabbing my arm and shaking it back and forth: "Boss, boss, I'm also an elf, am I seeing my fellow countryman?" ”

I was about to be driven crazy by this abnormal nervous monster Loli, and threw her out of the circle: "If you can't help, you will bury yourself while digging a pit, you will be a human, an elf, a loli, and an adult, and you will have few words on your ID card, right?" ”

After Lilina was quiet, we continued to work, and I sighed a little: Elves, this kind of magical race appeared on such an artificially modified exiled planet, and it was also lying in a high-tech hibernation pod, this is really a messy combination, the elves in the impression should not be the kind of magic civilization that masters, the whole race is handsome guys and beauties, most of the handsome guys are used as background settings, and most of the beauties are jumping around in the forest in Hawaiian-style clothes, There are only two things to do every day: the first is to be captured as a slave by the evil humans, and the second is to be picked up by passing traversers to be a race to be a sister?

Why is it that there will be an elven race in front of us who has mastered the life support module manufacturing technique and the planet fortress transformation technique, and can also build the super-worldly earth engine?

Well, maybe I shouldn't be so surprised, after all, this year, even the Naga have learned to apply polish to their tails, and even the Minotaurs have learned to use power armor......

"The individual has no vital response and zero mental activity. Soul activity is zero. Zero memory traces, signs completely still" Tavel quickly scanned the mysterious woman in the hibernation pod, and reported a series of terrible information, despite the fact that she was a Spiritual scientist, and she was biased towards the military field, and she did not specialize in the study of life forms of carbon-based creatures, but she still did these basic examination items" This body has no life reaction. It just looks like all the body tissue has been solidified and preserved. ”

"Could it be that Lilina made it like this when she smashed it down?" I glanced at the Pope, who was digging a hole for myself, and said to myself that this girl was really a scourge, and if she hadn't been able to resurrect the victims, it would have been manslaughter at least.

"No," Tavel shook his head after a moment's thought, "the hibernation pod was not devastated, so this person did not die on the spot at the time of the impact, not to mention that a normally dormant individual would not have died so completely after such a short period of gas leakage: all body tissues had completely ceased to move. The dissipation of memories is a slow process. It is built on non-living physical structures. Memories are usually preserved for a period of time after death, and for carbon-based organisms, the complete disappearance of memories to an unreadable state requires a complete collapse of the chemical balance of their memory organs and a complete denaturation of their neural structures, a process that takes at least a few hours. And this individual's memory response is zero, she has been dead for a long time. ”

She explained in detail, as if taking into account the limited understanding of some of the people present, and I don't comment on that.

Tavel slowly approached an extremely thin probe to the girl's forehead with elven features. The moment the probe touched the latter's skin, it turned into a free spot of light and disappeared into her body, and at the same time, a projection of the entire system appeared next to Tavel, showing the scan results of the probe that had differentiated into a shimmer.

"It was erased, there was nothing left, and her thinking and memory system was intact. There was just no feedback, and the reading result was a blank, which was probably done before she fell asleep. ”

"A blank shell that has been wiped clean, but it is preserved in a sleeping pod," Sandora looked around, her eyes falling on the crystal walls, "and with such a large system of collection and management, these hives would be a bit wasteful if they were only used as a cemetery. ”

"If that's the case elsewhere, then I'm afraid there are hundreds of millions of shells preserved here" Tavel stood up, and a group of assistant machines hovering beside her let out a gurgling sound and drifted away, projecting beams of light at the nearest walls and ground, the crystal walls illuminated by the beams suddenly became more transparent, and we faintly saw a neatly arranged rectangular object inside: those were all sleeping pods" A super-large cemetery, theoretically so. ”

I felt a chill on my body involuntarily, especially when I remembered that I was on top with my sister and I just now, and I felt something floating around me...... I'll go, this is too scary, isn't it?

In all fairness, I'm not afraid of ghosts, our whole family is not afraid of ghosts, after all, Anvina is here, and our definition of ghosts has long become a strange state of "very cute, obedient, quick to work, and delicious cooking", but now the situation here is not limited to ghosts, sometimes, the atmosphere is the most frightening.

Sandora made the decision to expand the exploration, and more technicians and assistant technicians flew down from it, and began to carefully cut the crystal layers on the four walls and the ground, we did not find any structures on the surface of these crystal layers that could be opened, indicating that they were cast and formed at one time, and there was no better way than violent demolition, but Tavel also determined that these crystals had nothing to do with the working state of the dormant pod, they looked more like a neat layer of wrapping paper, and after dismantling, it would not affect the normal operation of the dormant pod, Therefore, the demolition work can be carried out boldly and confidently.

Qianqian touched my arm: "Eh, Ah Jun, I think of my dad." ”

"Huh?" I was stunned, and I didn't know which nerve was activated by this wonderful super girl.

"He usually always digs other people's graves from all over the world," shallow eyes flashed with bright brilliance, "We are much better than him, how much have we planed this time!" Isn't that a good idea? ”

I was speechless, and Lin Xue patted me on the shoulder: "You should have gotten used to it, and I think Uncle Xu should be your natural enemy: he is digging the ancestral graves of emperors and generals every day, and you are more or less an emperor and general......"

I shuddered, oh my god. The topic is too heavy.

"Shallow. You said that your father wouldn't dig up my ancestral grave after he knew about the two of us, right? ”

"How can it," shallow waved his hand with a big grin, "Do you have an ancestral grave?" ”

…… I don't think that's the point!

However, my struggle did not last long, and soon the expedition team found more dormant chambers, forcing me to refocus on the exploration work at hand.

Experts have confirmed the life support mode of this hibernation capsule, which they say is quite a simple principle, and ordinary civilizations will surely cry bitterly when they hear it anyway. Tavel's team of assistants easily cracked the "rudimentary" process of opening the hibernation pod, removing twenty pods without disrupting the sustaining system. Side by side, each of the hibernation pods had no surprise with a sleeper. I had a team of Life Priests from the Shadow City side, ready to rescue the Sleepers who were in danger due to an accident when they were opened, while Lilina took care of the lifeless girl in the first hibernation pod. However, all of this preparation seemed to be in vain, as the occupants inside did not wake up at all after activating the hibernation pods in the correct way.

"No life reaction!"

"Zero memory response!"

"Zero soul reaction!"

"Activation attempted...... Activation failed! ”

Soon came a series of unfortunate reports of twenty dormant pods, but not a single living sleeper could come out of them to tell us what was going on on the planet.

"The equipment is in good condition." Tavel though disappointed. But he is still trying to analyze "Although the structure is not very smart, but it also meets the technical conditions for long-term preservation of living organisms, and his subordinates have checked their systems, these things are not used for ultra-low temperatures, but with microscopic condensation techniques to preserve the contents of the contents, under normal circumstances, a body can be preserved in this environment for almost forever: as long as the capsule still has energy, and there is obviously enough energy here." ”

She said. Reaching out and knocking on the crystal wall next to it, there was a magnificent ripple on it: "At least as long as this kind of decoration still has energy, the more important sleeping pod can't be depleted in advance, unless the designer here has been bombarded in the head by a naval gun." ”

"The hibernation pods are intact, and technically they are long enough to keep the sleeper alive," Sandora shook her head, "but in the end, it was hundreds of millions of 'corpses' that appeared in front of us. Well, let's call it a corpse for the time being. What went wrong? Where have all the souls of the crew members on this wandering planet gone? ”

The elder sister frowned and said a conjecture that made people's hearts sink deeply: "Could it be that the fallen apostle had already completed his task at that time?" They used the method of unknown means, and killed all the crew members inside without destroying the Green Star, and also erased the memories and souls of these crew members, leaving us with a cemetery. ”

If this is true, it is simply too bad, everyone instinctively does not want to believe my sister's guess, and I subconsciously cast my eyes on Lin Xue: when I encounter a puzzle that I really can't figure out, I ask for help from the half-immortal, which is almost a conditioned reflex.

Behind every successful man there must be a bad woman......

"I can only confirm that the plot of the fallen apostles did not succeed, and there were no accidents on the green star" The eldest lady shook her head, "As for where their souls have gone, I really don't know how to go - after all, this thing has been floating for tens of thousands of years, and it has crossed many worlds and realms, and the historical span that needs to be traced is too large, and many pictures seem messy." ”

"Boss, I gave up, I can't save it at all" Lilina also rubbed her head dejectedly, "She's not dead, almost all the cells on her body are intact, but there are no signs of life, at most it's a vegetative version 2.0, how can a person who hasn't died at all be resurrected." ”

Even Lilina said so, it seems that there is really no way, Ding Dong can go up and try it, but even if the goddess of life can use divine power to forcibly make a body move, what is the point? It's just an empty shell, and I'm afraid I don't even have the instinct to breathe. The most important question now is where the souls of these shells go.

My sister looked at the lifeless "coffins" and frowned slightly: "Let's get these dormant cabins back first, I don't know what they are here for, maybe it means a lot to the owners of these bodies, be careful of bad things." ”

The assistant technicians and orderlies were busy again, installing the freshly dismantled dormant pods one by one back on their original stands, while the goddess priests who rushed over performed a pantomime with embarrassed faces: they were not used at all.

At the end of the day, there was only one sleeping pod that could not be recovered. It's the one who was smashed through Lilina's face. The hibernation pod itself is not very technical, but it has a set of irreparable safety locks in its cover, and the hibernation pod cannot meet its original performance parameters after barely repairing it with the micro-repair system commonly used by Xiling technicians, and the nuances of the environment are deadly enough for the fragile ** who is in a state of "death preservation".

Tavel had no choice but to bring in another Empire-made universal life-support system from outside, including an advanced, sliding coffin...... Ahem, a multi-functional life-support cabin, a complete set of life-support systems that can provide more than 10,000 kinds of ecological environment support, and agile scanning devices. Then he carefully put the elven girl who didn't seem to be harmed, this complicated and extremely advanced system occupied an open space the size of three sleeping pods, and because he didn't know what to do with the other party, the universal life support system had to be placed in the open air first.

"The device can automatically detect the organisms contained inside, and then create a 100% usable atmosphere, gravity simulations, micro-energy fields, and a small amount of magnetic field effects," Tavel proudly told us about one of her research results. However, its performance is unprecedented: it can basically solve the life-supporting needs of virtually any organism that theoretically exists. From carbon-based to silicon-based, to sulfur-based, and even energy creatures, the microenvironment needed to survive was available in it, and now it was starting to work properly, indicating that the girl was at least a life form that machines could understand. ”

"Keep expanding your search to see if there's a data logging facility or something," Sandora commanded, "I don't believe that such a large underground cavern is only used to store bodies. There should be other equipment areas outside of this life support system. Radar used to show that the green star mantle was very active, but now it looks like it's a little less active, maybe some system is hiding itself, you go and pull it out - but don't cause damage. ”

"Your will, Your Majesty." Tavel saluted solemnly, then disappeared before us with a group of assistants.

As the search expanded, new discoveries soon followed. The expeditions found something else in the crystal walls that can be found everywhere here.

Plant remains, animals, and even some lifelike insects that have been wrapped in crystals and become completely fossilized.

The most spectacular is a huge cliff standing alone in a large hive compartment, two kilometers wide, crystal clear and extremely transparent, in which a snapshot of the forest is preserved in its entirety: towering trees, dense huā trees, and chasing animals and insects, all of which have been transformed into amber fossils by crystal.

"It looks like the planet was once alive."

My sister said with emotion.

"I'm more concerned about the other thing than this," Lilina said after digging forty or fifty pits in the ground, and finally rubbed her face again, "Boss, boss, you still remember the core of this planet, there's a big guy there!" ”

"Yes, if you don't say it, I forgot, there's a core-sized biological reaction down there!" I patted my head and suddenly realized, "Let's find out if there is a passage to continue to the lower part of the earth, let's go to the center of the earth to see!" ”

To the mantle (for the current Green Star, it is the mantle, but if the artificial protective shell is peeled off, this layer should be the real surface of the original Green Star. Here, out of habit, we still layer the planet as Green Star looks like it is) These hibernation pods and other areas that may exist are probably not something that can be done in an hour or two. Rather than wasting time here, let's go to the center of the earth and look at another discovery we made earlier: that core-sized life response.

It may be that Sandora had used the key to remove a series of security devices from the Green Star, and the various passages in it were no longer hidden, with the help of efficient scouts like Lost Shadow, and soon we found a series of transportation networks extending in all directions, which were placed between the entrances and exits, most of which were traffic roads between the hive grids, and a striking main road that led directly to the deeper part of the earth.

The straight-line distance from here is not even twenty kilometers.

We didn't bring too many scientists with us on this trip, they have been completely attracted by the catacombs of the mantle layer, and they have to do research on a super life the size of the earth's core, and those scientists who have been engaged in military industry all their lives may not have a few goddess of life priest specialties, so when I came over, except for our family, I only brought a mass projection of Tavir and a few goddess priests, as well as a few assistants of Tavel.

Seven hundred thousand entered a deeper and monotonous tunnel, which was wider than the passage on the earth's crust, but the walls were no longer made of crystal, but made of alloy, which looked rough and rudimentary, and even the lights were extinguished a lot. The deep space of the Green Star is not very technological, and the former aborigines here do not seem to have made a further transformation of their home planet, and after giving it a certain defensive ability and the ability to sail across the world, they chose to collectively abandon their bodies and enter a deep sleep.

Ten minutes later, we came to the core of the Green Star.
