Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

The two took the lifting platform and descended slowly.

Meng Chao noticed that this lifting platform adopts a purely mechanical structure. In addition to the psionic power system similar to a hoist, it also has a human control system that uses cranks and pedals.

The whole machine looks stupid, thick and dark, and it is extremely sturdy, ensuring maximum safety and stability in an environment where spiritual energy interference is serious and matter is deformed at any time.

Almost all the buildings and facilities at the bottom of the underground space are in this style, clumsy, thick, heavy, and strong, with a large number of gears, chains, and criss-crossing pipes exposed to the outside. There are colorful auras gushing out, making the whole space immersed in colorful mist.

Except for the slightly different construction style, this place is like a combination of the university town where the Five Schools Alliance is located, and the military base in the Jiangnan District of Longcheng.

Hard-top tents with silver shells were lined up one after another. Many of the tents were hung with lightning, flames or crossed skulls, representing "extremely dangerous, no entry". There were similar mechanical failures and artillery roars inside. Roaring with monsters...all kinds of weird sounds.

Beside these silver tents, Meng Chao also saw a lot of weird things excavated from the ground.

There is a relic like the legendary "Sword Tomb", densely packed with hundreds of strangely shaped swords.

Although these swords are rusty and even twisted, not to mention the edge, even the runes engraved on the surface are blurred, but there are still bunches of murderous aura rising into the sky, like endless grievances lingering in the sword , trying to break through the rusty seal, descending to today's Dragon City.

Judging from the size of these swords, they don't seem to be prepared for earthlings who are less than two meters tall.

It seems to be several times larger than human beings, armed with ancient intelligent life.

At this moment, some scientists are busy around Jianzhong.

They carefully scraped off the rusted metal powder from the ancient sword, analyzed the composition, and cleaned and rubbed the runes on the sword.

Refining the metal components of ancient swords can help Dragon City's new cold weapon forging technology, and these runes, combined with the agitation of spar, can greatly increase the power and range of cold weapons.

In another piece of ruins, countless fragmented war machines are buried.

Judging from the shape of the wreckage, it looks like a six-legged crab-shaped rune machine made by Dragon City, but it is larger and more primitive than a human rune machine.

The rattling weapons attached to the wreckage could still shrink Meng Chao's pupils after thousands of years of erosion, not to mention the beast-like murderous aura emanating from the depths of the machine.

It's like... still alive.

Gazing deeply at the wreckage of this ancient war machine, Meng Chao's ears seemed to hear the roar of the ancient war, and in a daze he saw a picture scroll painted with blood and flames that was more magnificent and a hundred times more tragic than the monster war.

"Is this... the call of the ancient times?"

Meng Chao took a deep breath to calm himself down.

In order to divert his attention, he turned his gaze to the very center of the underground space.

But immediately another thing took away all his attention.

In the center of the underground space, within an area of ​​about 100 meters, there are no research facilities.

Instead, a circle of heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, spiritual magnetic coils, high-voltage power grids, fully automatic fire fortresses... and other defensive weapons were deployed around the periphery.

Judging from the airtight configuration of three floors inside and three floors outside, it is simply more stringent than the line of defense deployed on the outskirts of Dragon City to deal with the impact of the beast horde.

Behind the line of defense, there is also a special force equipped with the most advanced "Black Horn Battle Armor", full of murderous aura, and ready to fight.

Meng Chao sensed the slightly trembling life magnetism of these "Black Horn Warriors".

It shows that they are in a state of high tension and even a little fear.

It was as if surrounded by multiple lines of defense, deep in the underground space, something would jump up at any time and slaughter them who were armed to the teeth.

Meng Chao looked past the black-horned fighters and the heavy defense line, and saw a bottomless gap in the center of the underground space.

It is seventy or eighty meters long, and the widest part is about twenty or thirty meters. It is like an ugly reptile full of tentacles, crawling on the ground, and spouting faint black air non-stop.

Above the gap, there are several lifting and landing machines similar to gantry cranes.

There are also hanging baskets and lifting platforms, which can transport humans or materials to the depths of the gap.

Around the gap, at a distance of more than ten meters, there are four tall drilling wells, like four huge nails, driven deeply into the corpse of the ancient civilization.

"That's the entrance to the ancient ruins?"

Meng Chao murmured, "It's... spectacular!"

"That's right, the space we are in is only the surface of the ancient ruins. From this gap down, there are several faults. The horizontal gaps and caves all contain ancient mysteries. The gap is extremely deep, at least our depth detection equipment is far from reaching its limit, perhaps, it does not exist in our space, if it descends tens of thousands of meters all the way, it will travel to another brand new world? "

Wu Haibo introduced, "The ancient ruins are much deserted now than they were 20 or 30 years ago. When the Transcendent Tower was just completed, there were ten times more researchers and explorers here. That's what's called 'magnificence'! "

"Yeah?"

Meng Chao looked around and saw traces of relocation of many facilities, as well as a lot of construction equipment that had been abandoned after completing their historical missions. There was indeed a sense of desolation. He couldn't help asking, "Why?"

"Because those ancient mysteries that are relatively easy to be discovered and researched have all been discovered and researched."

Wu Haibo shrugged and said, "Many research projects have been transferred to the ground, and Longcheng University, the Five-University Alliance, the other three research institutes, and the laboratories of super companies are conducting them. No one wants to stay in this place where they may encounter Taikoo Monsters, or simply themselves are attracted by the 'call of the ancient', and become a haunted place for the ancient monsters.

"Besides, the remaining ancient mysteries are difficult to discover, highly dangerous, and difficult to copy and research. They are all fleshless and covered with sharp, hard bones—the ancient mysteries that have been discovered have not yet been discovered. No one wants to gnaw on these hard bones until they are fully researched."

Meng Chao thought that "War God" Lei Zongchao had said something similar.

He asked Wu Haibo: "I see. Has our exploration of... the 'deep diving zone' stopped?"

"Paused."

Wu Haibo sighed, and said regretfully, "As a researcher and explorer, there is nothing more uncomfortable than having a mysterious treasure right in front of you, separated by a door, but unable to open the door. After all,' The mountain is there'.

"But from the overall situation of Dragon City, I also know that our civilization is not qualified for the time being, so continue to explore.

"The current situation of the people of Longcheng is like a group of primitive people who are raw and blood-drinking. Facing the powerful enemies of wolves, tigers and leopards, when their lives are hanging by a thread, they accidentally discovered a dust-covered, highly advanced, nuclear-powered A military base powered by energy.

"In this military base, various weapons, production lines, research and development centers and laboratories are displayed from the outside to the inside.

"There are ordinary pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, and heavy machine guns.

"There are also grenades, mines, mortars and bazookas.

"There are also tanks and armored vehicles and attack drones.

"Of course, there are germ bombs, gas bombs, incendiary bombs, various chemical weapons and small tactical nuclear weapons.

"Eventually, there's probably the material to develop all the weapons, the theoretical textbooks on all the basic science, and the nuclear reactors that keep it all going.

"How far do you think we, as primitive people, should explore in this military base?

"If it's just grenades, rifles, rocket launchers and other individual weapons driven by gunpowder, even primitive people who drink blood and drink blood may be able to master them proficiently after paying a certain price.

"Even if something goes wrong, at most you can blow yourself up with a grenade, shoot a few comrades to death, and blow up a hundred or so companions to the sky at most. For the entire primitive tribe, compared with the power of thermal weapons, such a The price can and should be borne.

"Tanks and armored vehicles... if they adopt a modular design and a fool-like operation method, they may not be mastered by primitive people.

"Primitive people may not be able to understand the principles of guns, grenades, and main battle tanks, including mathematics, chemistry, physics...all kinds of profound and complicated knowledge.

"But this doesn't prevent them from knowing that these things that can 'huhu' spew flames and lightning, and make thunderous roars to help them smash all wolves, tigers and leopards into pieces, are divine weapons bestowed on them by the heavens or the Creator.

"However, germ bombs, nerve gas bombs, various chemical weapons and even tactical nuclear weapons, do you think primitive people should spend all their time researching these things?

"Leaving aside whether the primitive people can figure out how to use these deadly weapons, even if they really figure it out, you think it is a big deal for the primitive tribes to let the primitive people who drink blood and drink tens of thousands of nerve gas bombs that are ready to go off. good thing?

"And most importantly, energy.

"Energy is the starting point of all civilizations, no, all life. Without energy, there is nothing. If you master energy, you will master everything.

"But this does not mean that primitive people should rush to explore and research the nuclear reactor that drives the entire military base before the jackals, tigers and leopards have been completely wiped out, and they do not have a common sense of physics at the junior high school level.

"For primitive people, as long as they can master individual weapons proficiently, plus tanks and armored vehicles and attack drones at most, it is enough to slaughter all wolves, tigers and leopards or domesticate them into poultry and livestock.

"For the people of Longcheng, the known ancient technology is enough to help us wipe out the monster civilization, and adjust all the surviving monsters into biochemical beasts that are obedient to us. For the time being, this is enough. Isn't it?"
