The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Just like most spaceships in the early days of the Earth Federation, this colonial space shuttle also installed a safe passage during construction, and found the entrance of the safe passage in the room with almost no effort, but this entrance was blocked by a partition board. If it is blocked, the set screws around the isolation plate need to be removed with a very special magnetic tool.

However, this is not a problem for Leo, because he remembers that a complete set of magnetic tools will be placed in every room with a safe passageway.

Leo searched for a while and found a hidden compartment that had not been opened, and then Leo used a general-purpose recorder together with the independent control chip of the hidden compartment to crack it.

As the hidden compartment opened, Leo saw the box where the tools were stored. He immediately pulled out the box and checked it.

Although I don't know how many years have passed, some slight corrosion has appeared on the surface of the box where the tools are stored, but the overall condition is still well preserved, and the inside of the box is completely sealed. After opening, all the tools are as good as new difference.

Leo took out the magnetic tools he needed, and put the toolbox together with the tools inside into his storage space.

With the right tools, the spacer plate, made of superalloy plates, was also easily removed.

After taking it off, you can see a straight safety passage, but judging from the overall design of the safety passage, this safety passage should also shoulder the responsibility of maintenance.

Leo didn't think much about it, he directly entered the safe passage, walked forward for a certain distance, and after passing a bend, he suddenly stopped.

He didn't find any monster in the passage, but a corpse.

It is not too unusual to find dead bodies in the safe passage, because there are always some unlucky ghosts who die in the safe passage inexplicably, and some unintentionally trigger the safety measures in the safe passage, and are shot dead as intruders Some of them deliberately wanted to find a place where no one could find out and commit suicide.

Leo had found more than one corpse in similar safe passages more than once before. It stands to reason that he should not have any abnormal reactions and would appear calm, but in fact he stood there in a daze for a long time, and then After repeated confirmation several times, I realized that I was not mistaken.

The reason why he had such a reaction was entirely because the corpse in this secret passage was not the body of the Earth Federation, but the corpse of an alien, and this alien group Leo was very familiar with, this alien Their group is called Tabates, and they also come from the Jaka civilization, one of the few advanced psionic civilizations in the universe.

The Jaka civilization is not only one of the few all-psychic civilizations in the universe, but its home planet is also a very rare multi-civilization planet.

Normally, there will only be one intelligent race on a planet. After the civilization of this race has developed to the cosmic level, no matter what kind of civilization this race has created before, there will only be one form of civilization left in the end.

But the planet where the Jaka civilization is located is different. A total of six civilizations were born in this civilization, and until the civilization on the planet developed into a cosmic civilization, these six civilizations still existed at the same time, and reached the same level of civilization. The civilization form recognized by other civilizations in the universe.

However, with the in-depth contact with psychic knowledge, the pure psychic civilization of the Jiaka civilization began to show a leap forward, and finally when other civilizations on the same planet were still at the level of ordinary galaxy civilizations, this civilization had already With their extraordinary spiritual power, they have become advanced civilizations recognized by the Supreme Council of the universe.

In addition, the number of Omega-level advanced life forms possessed by this civilization is also the largest in the universe, a total of 17. This has been made public, and it is unknown how many have not been made public.

The Earth Federation is also very familiar with the Jaka civilization, not only because the Jaka civilization is the first advanced cosmic civilization to establish diplomatic relations with the Earth Federation, but also because the Jaka people are one of the few humanoid races in the universe, and even some Earth Admirers of the Jaka civilization on the Internet believe that the people on Earth were created by the pilgrims of the ancient Jaka civilization using their own genes combined with the genes of the earth's own species, but this statement has never been recognized by the Jaka civilization.

The reason why those worshipers of the Jaka civilization think so is not without purpose. The Jaka people are not only very similar to the people on Earth in terms of appearance, but also the bones and internal organs of the body are also very similar. The only difference is that the Jaka people have Four arms and two brains, so their heads will be bigger and more arms than people on Earth, which is why Leo recognized it as a Ghaka corpse at a glance.

In addition to being surprised, Leo couldn't help but wonder why the body of the Gaka was in the early colonial space capsule of the Earth Federation.

In his memory, the earliest contact record between the Earth Federation and the Ghaka civilization was before the Earth Federation was about to be promoted to the sequence of medium-cosmic civilizations, and that time period was thousands of years away from the early era of Earth colonization and expansion, which made him think A hypothesis that has never been proven, that is, the earth civilization has always been assisted by a higher alien civilization, so the technological culture, spiritual power, etc. of the earth civilization can grow so fast, and the extraterrestrial civilization in this guess Civilization includes the Jiaca civilization.

However, this guess was quickly rejected by Leo, because if there is really a higher civilization like the Gaka civilization to help the Earth Federation, the civilization of the Earth Federation will improve faster, and this also violates the highest law of the universe. According to the rules set by the parliament, no high-level civilization is allowed to affect the development of low-level civilizations.

Because no matter whether the low-level civilizations born in the universe are going to decline and perish in the end, or to glory and prosperity, the sparks of civilization displayed by these civilizations are unique, and it is this unique spark of civilization that drives the entire civilization. The basic elements of the development of cosmic civilization.

However, low-level civilizations that grow under the intervention of high-level civilizations are only subsidiary civilizations of that high-level civilization no matter how much they grow, and it is impossible for a unique spark of civilization to appear. This will eventually cause the entire universe civilization to stagnate, and eventually may It will cause the entire universe to fall into a terrible civilization recession.

After thinking about this, Leo walked over to the skeleton of the Gaka civilization and examined it carefully.

"Something's wrong! This is not the skeleton of a Jiaka!" Leo quickly discovered some doubts.

Although the appearance of the corpse in front of me looks very similar to that of a Jakar, with four arms and a huge head, etc., it is very different from a Jakar when you look closely, because in order to support the normal operation of the two brains, the Garka The heart and other related organs of the Kaka people will be stronger and larger than those of the Earth people, so the entire skeleton of the Jiaka people, from the limbs to the torso, is much larger than that of the Earth people. A normal Jiaka person is at least three to five meters tall. Although the young Jiaka people are about the same height as humans, their chests will be much larger than humans.

Although the skeleton in front of him also has four arms and a huge head, its body and limbs are only of the level of ordinary human beings, which is quite different from that of the Jiaka people. It is more like some kind of mutated human skeleton.

Leo then carefully examined the cause of death of the skeleton, and soon found that the cause of death was a penetrating injury to the abdomen. Obvious laser cutting marks could be seen from the top of the pelvis to the bottom of the ribs. The high-energy laser weapon was shot, and because the injury was too serious, he passed out after escaping here, and eventually lost blood to death.

There were no fragments of clothing on the body of the skeleton, and there were no traces of clothing on the ground, so the person should have been completely naked at the time, which fit some of the characteristics of the experimental subject.

Leo checked the ground again. Although a long time has passed and the bloodstains left behind have long since disappeared, Leo can still see the gaps in various subtle marks on the ground through the supernatural vision endowed by his spiritual vision. Make a series of footprints.

After discovering the clue, Leo stood up, followed the footprints, continued to walk along the safe passage, and soon came to an intersection.

This node leads to six directions. In addition to the cross passage formed by the passage where Leo is located, there are also up and down stairs, which can go to the upper or lower passages. Judging from the traces, the previous deceased should have climbed up from the lower passage.

Leo didn't think much about it, so he climbed down the stairs and continued to follow the footprints.

After that, I walked through several side roads and saw several Jaka-like skeletons, and finally came to the entrance of a safe passage. What makes people feel strange is that the entrance of this safe passage is open. If these few If the Gakakas were hunted down, the hunters would be able to enter the passageway and clean up their bodies.

With doubts, Leo walked through the passage and entered a huge room. This room was larger than the room where the No. 0 relic was stored before Leo went. Judging from the connection of the pipes and the dormant chamber, this room should be the dormant chamber of the colony space capsule.

When Leo checked the dormant cabins using the spirit net, he was surprised that although most of these dormant cabins were empty, there were still a small number of people lying there, and all of these people were people who had been watching before. The gengarka who arrived.

Unlike those Gaka-like people who have turned into skeletons, these Gaka-like people staying in the dormant cabin have lost their vital signs due to the cessation of the supply of nutrient solution, but their bodies have been affected by the ultra-low temperature refrigeration technology of the dormant cabin. , and was preserved, allowing him to get a glimpse of the true face of these Jaka-like people.

It has to be said that if the difference in body shape is not too obvious, it may be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the real from the fake from the appearance.

This made Leo wonder why there are so many Jaka-like people lying in these dormant cabins. One thing is certain, these Jaka-like people didn't want to lie in it temporarily, but made some special preparations, because these people who were originally The dormant cabins that should be used by ordinary humans are not suitable for the body of the Jaka-like people in terms of cabin design, so the dormant cabins that these Jaka-like people lie in are all modified.

In doubt, Leo came to the main control computer in the dormant room.

Although many years have passed, the energy system of the space capsule is still not exhausted, and the main control computer is still operating normally. After Leo activated it, he asked Leo to activate the permission code.

If Leo has the authority card and the corresponding password in his hand at the moment, he can just insert the card and enter the password, but now he does not have these two things in his hand, so he can only obtain the computer's authority by forcibly cracking it. .

However, he did not immediately use a general-purpose recorder to connect to the main control computer, crack the security wall of the computer, and gain control of the computer. Instead, he seriously recalled the secret information recorded in his brain database that had been made public before the Earth Federation. And soon he found what he was looking for.

I saw that he quickly entered a series of complex code instructions on the permission code, and then clicked on a few seemingly useless background patterns on the permission interface.

After some operations, the display panel of the main control computer immediately entered the highest authority control interface of the space capsule.

Although this display board-style operation method and the internal interface system have long been eliminated in the Earth Federation, and it is the first time Leo uses it now, he quickly became familiar with how to operate it and retrieve the data he needs. Soon he found the use records and related video content about the dormant warehouse.

After a purposeful quick flip, Leo also learned something about the colony capsule.

Just like the data in memory, this space capsule belongs to the third colonial fleet of Priss Colonial Planet. At that time, the colonization spacecraft used space capsules suspended in outer space, although this method would make the space capsule Encountered some unexpected dangers, but was able to transport the largest number of colonists at minimal cost.

The Puliyang colonial spaceship where this space capsule was located was not bad luck. Only two colonial space capsules were damaged during the flight, and the loss was less than 5,000 people.

After arriving at the Dopris colony, the spaceship will drop the space capsules into different areas of the Dopris colony according to the plan in the colonization plan to carry out the pre-colonization and development. The place where the space capsule was dropped is a prairie. The environment is not very good, because it is a grassland area, so it is hit by the blizzard that is rare on the earth for thousands of years, and there is no water source around the landing site, so a reservoir needs to be dug to ensure the daily life. needs, so the pioneer of this colony capsule was very hard.

However, these hardships were anticipated in advance, and there were already corresponding methods. After awakening all the dormant people, they soon established a colonial base, and everything was carried out according to the normal plan. , if there are no accidents, the Price colony star will become the new colony star of the Earth Federation.

However, the accident eventually happened.
