Chapter 416 Urban Planet
The dark space station that Chen Ming just discovered was disappearing in front of him.
Of course he couldn't just watch.
Super-body speed played an extremely crucial role at this time.
This allowed Chen Ming to immediately rush to the space station.
A large amount of metallic liquid was released from the super body. With the help of the time flow core, it formed a huge mouth and quickly bit it in the direction of the space station, trying to capture what was left when the space station disappeared like dust. some traces of.
However, at the moment when the metallic liquid bit into the dusty space station, the dust scattered around these space stations suddenly disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace of its existence.
It's as if the space station has never appeared in this galaxy or in the orbit of this planet.
But the surface of the metal liquid does leave traces of contact with these dusts.
Chen Ming looked at the location where the space station disappeared with some regret.
Even though the speed was so fast, it still couldn't catch up with this time.
The clue just slipped out of his hands.
But not having a clue is actually a clue in itself.
This space station has obviously existed here for a long time. It will disappear sooner or later. It just disappeared when he arrived in this galaxy. Chen Ming would not believe it if he said it was not related to the survivors.
The disappearance of the space station was definitely the work of the survivors.
That's the clue.
Proving that Leviathan and the Remnants definitely have a close connection.
It is even possible that Leviathan was developed and manufactured by the survivors and released outside.
Of course, the latter idea is still just Chen Ming's speculation.
But this at least proved that the survivors must have discovered his whereabouts and knew that he had discovered this location.
The survivors will definitely take action later.
Although Chen Ming seems to be in a very stable period now, without any enemies jumping in front of him, the confrontation between him and the survivors has begun at this time.
Chen Ming calmed down and decided to continue doing what he should do now.
He doesn't know much about the real survivors, and most of them rely on the survivors' own words.
It is obviously wrong to treat your own random speculation as the real situation. The best choice is to adapt to the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged.
And since the survivor has made the space station disappear, it is obvious that he does not want him to come into contact with the space station.
The less the enemy wants you to do something, the more he will do it.
Although the space station above the planet's orbit has disappeared, the ruins of the city that Chen Ming just scanned on the planet have not shown such changes.
He can also go to the planet to look for possible clues.
Find out what Leviathan is and what kind of existence the survivors related to Leviathan are.
Chen Ming immediately changed his target and controlled the super body to enter the planet's atmosphere.
The surrounding yellow sand shrouded the super body, making it almost impossible to see any outside scenes with the naked eye.
The sensor was able to clearly scan some relatively tall buildings on the surface that protruded into the yellow sand.
This allowed Chen Ming to accurately control the super body to hover directly above the building.
Immediately afterwards, he put on biological armor, left the cabin directly, and landed quickly towards the surface.
The effect of time acceleration stopped instantly after Chen Ming left the spacecraft, and the pressure on his consciousness suddenly disappeared.
Chen Ming regained his previous feeling after a little adaptation.
It just landed hard on the planet and smashed into the building protruding in the yellow sand.
As soon as it hit the ground.
Chen Ming smashed through several floors of the building and fell directly into the yellow sand on the lower floor of the building.
He flopped twice in the sand and successfully climbed along the gap he had just created to the area where the previous layer was not completely covered by the yellow sand.
The building seemed bigger than he imagined.
and.
Chen Ming half-crouched on the ground and stretched out his hand to twist the yellow sand that was shaken up on the ground on this floor of the building. The expression under the armor changed from dull to shocking.
He climbed up again along the floor, until he reached the highest point where the building was completely exposed to the yellow sand.
Standing next to the wall that has now been completely hollowed out, leaving only the frame that barely supports the building structure.
Chen Ming looked up and looked outside the building. The sky full of yellow sand made his expression a little uncontrollable.
"This is really..."
The planet Chen Ming was on at this time looked earthy yellow from orbit.
Moreover, the spacecraft's sensors also scanned a large amount of sand and dust raised by the strong wind, occasionally revealing the ruins of the city below, but then it would be covered up by yellow sand blown from other places.
It looks like a very standard desert planet, but that's just what it looks like.
When Chen Ming came into contact with the yellow sand, he discovered that the yellow sand was not yellow sand, but iron sand.
He grabbed a handful of "yellow sand" from the ground again, and saw that the yellow sand melted into a pool of bright metallic liquid in his hands.
The yellow sand on the entire planet is all iron sand formed by the corrosion of nanorobots.
This planet that seems to be covered by sand is actually covered by abandoned nanorobots.
Unfortunately, the structure of the nanorobot is too small. Once corroded by time, it will be very serious. The nanorobot filled with yellow sand cannot be restored to its former appearance.
The most Chen Ming can do is to recycle the materials used to make nanorobots.
The yellow sand covering the entire planet can almost be regarded as a resource treasure trove for obtaining different grades of metal materials.
But there's no rush.
Chen Ming did not directly use his spiritual energy to convert the yellow sand into materials. Instead, he followed the ventilated frame of the building and climbed to the edge of the highest point of the toppled tall building at his feet.
He looked around and could only see endless yellow.
He could only lower his head and look at the yellow sand below.
Jump down.
The biological armor on his body had extra weight, causing him to sink directly into the yellow sand the moment the sand layer was lifted.
After slowly sinking for at least three hundred meters in the yellow sand, he once again felt that he was standing on something substantial.
Chen Ming immediately used his spiritual energy to sense the surrounding environment, eliminating the influence of the surrounding yellow sand.
Let him clearly "see" the surrounding environment.
The position he was standing on was not on the ground, but on the top of a ruined building that was relatively low but still over 30 stories high.
And around him, all the places that could be clearly sensed by his spiritual energy were only the ruins of various buildings, without any trace of nature.
Chen Ming continued his previous actions at the bottom of the yellow sand.
I jumped off the low building at my feet and came to the road between the ruins of buildings that I could barely walk on.
Although most of the road has been buried by ruins, the upper layer of yellow sand continues to cover it.
But Chen Ming can still rely on his strong mental power to identify the general direction deep underground.
He just traveled quickly in the yellow sand relying on the power brought by his spiritual energy, constantly expanding his range of perception, trying to figure out the situation of the entire planet.
The more he expanded the scope of his perception, the more shocked Chen Ming felt.
Because every inch of land where his perception is expanded is filled with all kinds of man-made buildings, and every inch of land has been developed and utilized to the extreme.
Until Chen Ming spread his spiritual power to the entire planet, he did not discover the existence of anything that was not artificial.
The yellow sand in the sky and the ruins of buildings under the yellow sand that he just scanned in the sky are just the tip of the iceberg of the entire planet.
There is no place on this planet that is not covered by urban buildings.
This is a complete urban planet belonging to a shining civilization...the ruins.
These ruins lie silent under the yellow sand for unknown years.
After figuring out the situation on the planet, Chen Ming stopped wasting time and once again activated the effect of his own psychic energy.
There was no obvious change in the position at the beginning.
But soon, the surface of the accumulated yellow sand on the surface where Chen Ming was located began to subside slightly.
Some yellow sand sank into the ground and no longer continued to be blown by the strong wind.
Although the traces of yellow sand settlement were quickly covered up.
But as time goes by, more and more yellow sand sinks into the ground. The gaps in the surface that initially appeared due to the lack of yellow sand can no longer be covered by the yellow sand blown by the wind from other places.
This yellow sand is disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gradually, a quicksand-like vortex appeared at the bottom of the sinking yellow sand pit, continuously sucking the surrounding yellow sand into the vortex, but the ruined buildings were not affected by this vortex in the slightest.
The edge of the vortex is the khaki color of the desert, but the center of the vortex is the metallic color of the yellow sand formed by these nanorobots.
Although until now this vortex can only be regarded as a drop of water in the ocean compared to the desert covering the entire planet.
But this drop of water is swallowing up the entire ocean at an unprecedented rate.
The entire planet's nanorobots are being dismantled into the most basic materials by psychic energy and sent to other places.
With a casual estimate, Chen Ming felt that the materials from the dismantled abandoned nanorobots could be used to build satellites for his planets.
Unknowingly.
The vortex has formed a huge crater in the desert that is several kilometers in diameter and hundreds of meters deep, and it is still expanding rapidly.
Although some buildings in the vortex were not directly affected by the vortex, a considerable number of buildings lost the support of the yellow sand inside and suddenly collapsed.
A series of chain reactions also occurred in the surrounding building ruins, creating a larger area of building ruins in the sand.
But this did not affect the vortex in the yellow sand, it continued to grow.
The moment when the vortex is deep enough to completely remove the yellow sand covering the planet's surface.
At the bottom of the vortex appeared the ruins of the most basic building on the planet, and Chen Ming standing among the ruins.
Although the vortex continued to expand, Chen Ming had already started to move.
His perception has completely scanned the buildings under the yellow sand.
The urban ruins covering the entire planet are always the densest, and the level of architectural advancement is obviously higher than other places.
This kind of place is most likely the center of the entire urban planet.
And this place is at its feet.
Chen Ming returned to the location where he landed just now, and the vortex also expanded here with his footsteps.
Next to the tallest building he had seen on the entire planet so far, he could already see the entire building with his naked eyes.
and a huge metal monument standing in the center of the giant square in front of the building.
Chen Ming was in no hurry to enter the building that he had stabilized with metallic liquid.
Instead, he entered the square first and approached the metal monument.
As soon as he touched the body of the monument, Chen Ming discovered that the material used in this monument was the same material used to build the hull of the super body.
Such materials are extremely resistant to the effects of the passage of time, and are strong enough to resist all kinds of external wind and rain erosion.
And it seems to be the reason why this monument has been buried deep underground, and it has suffered minimal effects from weathering and corrosion. Chen Ming can still clearly see the words engraved on the metal tablet.
"Integrate the world into one city, and cast one city into the world."
Chen Ming didn't know what thoughts the people who built such a special planet had in mind when building the planet, nor what thoughts they had in mind when they carved this sentence in this place.
But he should know right away.
According to Chen Ming’s own knowledge about Shining Civilization.
The tallest building he saw at this time should be the shining civilized government building, which they called the Governor's Palace.
This is the core of this urban planet.
Chen Ming stood next to the metal monument and stared at the Governor's Mansion in the distance. In addition to thinking about what caused the planet to fall into such a situation, Chen Ming was thinking about it.
Also thinking about another thing.
He remembered finding the scavenger robot near the wormhole he discovered leading to this area of the universe, and the large amount of materials it had prepared for developing the world behind the wormhole.
This shows that the Shining Civilization was just beginning to develop the galaxy behind the wormhole at that time.
But the Governor's Mansion here and the planet below clearly indicate that this place has undergone a high degree of development and is in conflict with the situation over there with the scavenger robots.
There was a conflict with Chen Ming's cognition.
The reason... may have been buried in history.
Or maybe...in this building.
now.
The yellow sand around the building has completely faded.
The surrounding sky has become clear again because of Chen Ming, and there is no longer the same breathless feeling under the yellow sand.
The star's light penetrated the atmosphere and illuminated the land.
It makes the environment that is still full of decadence even after the yellow sand has dispersed become less psychologically stressful.
Chen Ming walked quickly across the square and walked into the Governor's Palace building.
The lobby on the first floor is full of toppled building debris, and there is no trace of the former prosperity.
But buried in the tight yellow sand, these decays did not affect something special.
Like a guidance robot that fell in the lobby.
The technology of this robot is not very advanced, and even some aspects of its design are not as sophisticated as those of the Empire's robots.
But it has been preserved until now, and Chen Ming can even repair it.
Chen Ming was able to learn about the general structure of the Governor's Mansion through this robot.
He came directly to the outside of the building, and the biological armor helped him lift to the height of the building.
Chen Ming roughly identified the number of floors, entered the building directly from the outside, and entered the Planetary Governor's Office in the Governor's Mansion.
The burial of yellow sand often gives people a feeling of despair.
But when it comes to preserving something, the extremely pure yellow sand composed of these nanorobots plays a very critical role.
Isolating air and microorganisms prevents these devices from being indelibly marked by time even after tens of thousands of years.
Let Chen Ming use his spiritual power to bring back to light those records that are about to disappear in time.
Chen Ming quickly found information about the planet beneath his feet in a device similar to the empire's computer in the governor's office.
A blueprint for planetary planning.
This planet is indeed named Urban Planet.
The entire planet is completely covered with various urban buildings and industrial clusters.
As for specific types of construction and industrial clusters...
Chen Ming took a rough look at the blueprint.
It can only be said that this is a planet that integrates the crystallization of countless shining civilization technologies.
Almost all the technologies belonging to the shining civilization have been preserved on this planet.
Almost everything for the entire civilization is on this planet.
Countless outstanding industrial buildings belonging to shining civilizations and countless scientific research centers of shining civilizations can all find their place on the planet.
This means that Chen Ming has found the biggest gain from his arrival this time.
Although there will definitely be irreparable damage to the buildings on the planet.
But... Chen Ming has already found the offices of the corresponding departments in the Governor's Mansion. These places also have enough blueprints to rebuild the industrial buildings on the entire urban planet.
This is what Chen Ming and the Empire have been looking for, the technology of a shining civilization.
It simply fell into Chen Ming's hands.
To be honest, Chen Ming is really worried about whether this might be a trap set by the survivors.
But look at the center of the whirlpool that is moving away towards the horizon.
As well as these documents and blueprints, you can really feel the authenticity of these technologies just by looking at them.
Chen Ming felt that the possibility of this situation should be very small.
Chen Ming copied a file from the Governor's Mansion computer.
Whether it was files that were not damaged after he repaired the computer or files that he used his psychic powers to repair files that had been damaged in the past, they all came into his hands.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ming separated some metallic liquid and went to different offices on different floors of the Governor's Mansion.
Repeat what he just did.
On the computer in the History and Culture Office, Chen Ming suddenly noticed a rather special file.
One copy, Planet Chronicle.
It records the development of the planet.
But it happens that it is encrypted with ciphertext.
Chen Ming couldn't even use his spiritual power to forcibly decipher this document. He had to find a professional cryptographer to decipher the records of this historical document.
However, Chen Ming can roughly guess the situation of this urban planet.
There is a high probability that the true survivors of the Shining Civilization built such a planet and placed everything belonging to Shining on this planet.
Chen Ming temporarily handed over the encrypted document to Yuhui in his hand to decrypt it.
And he continued to search these files to see if there was any other valuable information.
Soon, he found another document that had not been worn away by time.
A wanted document.
The wanted content was that the Governor-General requested the army to deal with a group of people who resisted their rule.
These people call themselves.
survivors.
"Resist the rule?"
Chen Ming frowned and continued to read the documents by himself.
After all, this was so different from the survivors he knew.
In his opinion, the political system of this planet is not the imperial system that has been continued by the Shining Civilization itself.
Rather, it is a centralized parliamentary system.
Although it is just like that, it is obviously more flexible and more democratic than the imperial system.
Do the survivors want to resist such rule because they want to be restored?
Or are they a group of people who have learned about a more advanced social system, so they are suppressed by the ruling class?
Chen Ming thought about the previous conversation with the survivor.
The attitude they showed was probably the former.
Chen Ming took this document out separately and kept it. It might be useful later.
Then he continued to find what he had been looking for in the docking office between the Governor's Mansion and the military.
Leviathan Project Proposal.
However, Chen Ming did not go directly to the documents of the Leviathan Project.
Because he suddenly found traces of a group of survivors of a shining civilization in other searched databases through psychic repair.
This is a deleted letter.
The content of the letter is not the content of the exchange between that group of survivors and the survivors of the shining civilization on this planet.
It was a farewell letter to the group of survivors and the planet at Chen Ming's feet.
Determined to get out of here, these people sent their last letter.
This letter, judging from the system time, was deleted just after it was received.
More and more mysteries shroud the history of Shining Civilization.
However, Chen Ming did not find any valuable information in this regard.
He could only put aside the pursuit of shining history for the time being.
First, let’s complete the other purpose of his coming here.
Chen Ming rode the super body to the orbit of the planet and looked at the planet, which had now changed from earthy yellow to bright gray. There were only a few places where the yellow areas were gradually being erased.
This entire urbanized and mechanized planet has a very high value.
No matter how I express myself, I don’t want to give up any part of it.
just.
Chen Ming's psionic power has a special joint effect. When controlling a complete device, he can use the psionic effect to derive it and control surrounding things.
For example, if a piece of fixed equipment is installed in a factory, Chen Ming's psychic power can only control the mechanical equipment itself.
However, he can use the derivative effects of psychic energy to control the factory building where the mechanical equipment is installed.
Chen Ming has mastered this psychic effect for a long time and is still using it.
For example, several colonies of the mechanical tribe were moved away by him using this psychic effect.
So...
Half an hour later.
The entire planet's yellow sand has completely disappeared in the whirlpool.
A wave of metal rolled through the wreckage.
The moment when this metal wave completely covered the planet.
The entire planet disappeared into the galaxy.
