Chapter 384 Journey to the Center of the Earth VI
The inner world of the earth.
Night, 17:50.
“This is the [Vulcanization City], actually within the Great Rift of the Canyon. The entire Abyss Canyon forms twenty-four groups of natural reality anchors. , shielding all fluctuations in this area, it would be really difficult to find this place if the two Yelnias hadn't followed them along the way."
Xia Xiu Station in protective clothing. On top of the huge rock, you overlook the earth-centered city below - [Sulfide City].
The Sulfide Capital is located on the shores of a huge sulfur lake, which was created due to underground volcanic activity. The entire lake exudes a faint golden luster.
The rocks by the lake turn metallic yellow due to years of sulfur deposition, like a golden castle.
In the center of the city, there is a majestic tower, and a certain part surrounding the lake is similar to an industrial area, where ore processing, fungus cultivation, and various handicrafts are made.
The residential area composed of caves meanders around the city. Each cave is carefully designed. [Yelnia] walking from various places walks on the sulfur-colored floor. The entire city It looked prosperous.
“Yelnia has passed through the early hunting and gathering society and the early agricultural society. Judging from the previous guardians and fungus farmers, their civilization has formed a civilized class, and the ownership of production materials has changed from public ownership to Transitioning to private ownership, guardians have armed forces, while farmers cultivate the soil in the center of the earth in exchange for protection and residency rights. ”
Xia Xiu quickly memorized the characteristics of this civilization in his heart. He took a step towards the empty place in front of him. The Möbius strip appeared at his feet. With a distortion of the space, he had appeared in the Sulfide Capital. Hit.
Wearing protective clothing, Xia Xiu walked nonchalantly among the [Yelniya] ethnic group who were thousands of miles away from him. He walked like a heretic. On this piece of land, all [Yelnia] nearby did not notice him, as if he was like a ball of air.
The alien painting style is full of fragmentation, but it is strangely harmonious and unified.
"[Adam], now is the critical stage of civilization investigation. You are responsible for recording the relevant content. I am going to speed up the observation progress." Xia Xiu said to [Adam] in his mind.
[Understand.]
[Yelnia·Civilization Observation Record Begins——]
[Observation location: 110 kilometers underground in the ruins of the Alki Mountains·Inner Earth World.]
[Observer: Hugh Abraham. ]
[Civilization/Society/Culture: Yerniya.]
[Threat: Undetermined——]
[The current observation itinerary topics are as follows:
Observation topic 1: Social structure and organization (type of government, leadership structure and decision-making process, etc.)
Observation topic 2: Culture and values (recorded observations The language used by the subject, describing religious systems, beliefs and religious rituals, and their role in society, etc.)
Observation Theme 3: Economy and Lifestyle (Describe the main economic activities of the subject, including agriculture. , industry, trade, etc.)
Observation topic 4: Education and knowledge inheritance (describe the education system, school types and educational opportunities, etc.)
Observation Topic 5: Arts and Entertainment (Observe and describe art, music, dance, theater and other performance forms, etc.)
All observations will be used for subsequent Civilization decisions, by Eden, Resolution Assembly , ethics committee, and civilization observers will decide the follow-up decision-making policy and intervention methods of the civilization——]
“Then let’s start from the first topic now. The civilization capital of Yerniya is this The Capital of Vulcanization, the capital is the administrative center and the symbol of the highest political power. If they rule the entire ethnic group with the wise class, then the administrative center has a high chance of retaining a large number of knowledge reserve items such as books and texts. We You can understand their social structure and organization by directly reading the internal knowledge of the group.”
At this time, the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven had arrived in front of the tower patrolled by several groups of guardians, and he walked in a swaggering manner. Entering the tower, golden eyes looked at the surrounding buildings.
Rising in the very center of the city is a huge, multi-story tower that is taller than any other building. It is made of solid volcanic rock and special metal alloys. The main part gradually narrows upward. There are complex geometric patterns on the outer wall, and a huge transparent crystal ball on the top.
"This standardized style should not be the style that the inner earth civilization should have. [Adam], scan this architectural style and identify where it comes from?"
[Start scanning——]
[Adam] responded to Xia Xiu's request. It quickly completed the scan and immediately began to report the results.
[Identification completed! ]
[This mechanical architectural style of [Amoni city-state] emphasizes simplicity, functionality and the use of new materials.
During the Age of Glory, Daeva launched a war to conquer the entire world.
This warlike country blew the horn of [Ares] and declared war on the whole world crazily. In order to please the [Crimson King], they roared to plunder the world.
However, with the uprising of the slave army led by Ion, the direction of this war has quietly changed.
Finally, with the sinking of the holy city of Diva [Alagadda] into the ether and the establishment of the Sarkic Empire as a symbolic turning point, Diva briefly withdrew from the war stage, and the protagonist of the world turned to the favored one. Ordinary two heroes - Arn and Brom.
However, the winner will not even have a chance to breathe.
With the fall of the behemoth Daeva, the conquered people's desire for restoration began to revive; the flesh-and-blood ways of the Sarkic Empire made the city-states who believed in Mekhanism exclaim "the end is coming"; the new country Born, Ion needed land and followers to satisfy the appetites of the new rich.
Race hatred, religious conflicts, rulers' ambitions...
With the fall of the Daevite Empire, the two empires of Sark and Mecha were established, and the first supernatural war began. The stage is declared over.
But peace will not come. Almost all civilizations will be affected, and a life-and-death war is about to break out.
The players are ready, the real world war is about to begin.
Along with the turbulences, conspiracies, and killings, the church cultivated the countries of the Glorious Era like beetles, the city-states that split from Daeva, the Sarkic Empire, the Pan-Military Alliance, the alien and human republics, and the alien races. They, the believers of the living gods, the families and apostles of the stars...
They once again launched an extremely cruel war. It was the craziest era, and the Blood God drank countless delicious delicacies in that era. ]
[The followers of Mek-god are so afraid of Ion and his legions, Ion's vanguard, the image of those fleshly legions is too similar to the "flesh and blood enemy" prophesied by their god. This is why the anti-Daevite alliance led by Mekhan believers is willing to put aside their hatred and temporarily form an alliance with Daevite.
They want to kill Ion! ! !
Sark and Mecha, without any hesitation, they once again provoked a world-shaking supernatural war. The ocean of Terra, which was already in danger, began to be polluted into the shape of chaos due to the fierce fighting between the two, and the youngest ether monarch [Salishi] was also born during this war. Along with the four monarchs, Forming, the [Crystal Sky] was completely formed, and began to slowly envelope the entire Terra.
The funny thing is that the two empires of Sarkic and Mekhan eventually perished together. Ion disappeared, Sarkic was reorganized into Youyang, and the old Daevite Empire took the opportunity to devour the Mekhan Theocracy. To consolidate its position, the core battlefield of the war became the current Oletin continental plate. The other cracked continental plates floated into the depths of the Chaos Sea, and were wrapped and guarded by the [gods], becoming a lost world of lost civilization.
The remaining alien nations were wiped out one by one in the subsequent supernatural wars. Until the Terra Calendar period, with the end of the Sovereign War, known as the Lineage War, many supernatural systems were completely deposed. , the era of pedigree dominance has arrived.
The survivors of the Mekhan Theocracy split after the fall of the empire, and most of them moved to other islands, hoping to find new territories to settle here. The remainder remained in the small settlement [Armoni], which was almost untouched by the war.
The survivors of the new city-state also hid their location from other worlds and were self-sufficient in recuperating. It was not until the late Era of Glory that they became influential participants in the regional political situation again, mainly relying on the advanced technology left by Mecha.
Although the city-state's overall military strength has severely declined with the collapse of the empire, the [Engineers] from the city-state are still widely praised among other civilizations, which has won them many important allies and ensured their long-term survival.
Unfortunately, [Amoni] did not escape the fate of being destroyed in the end.
The destruction of [Armoni] is related to a racial persecution. They were destroyed by the rebels. It is suspected that there were multiple gods behind the incident.
Later, the Mekhan cultists who were swallowed up in the Deva annexation war once again prostrate themselves at the feet of [The Hanged King]. The three major churches left two and left one, and the Gear Orthodox Church exclusively enjoyed the grace of [McEn]. , some of their dogmas and church members formed the Atlases of Daeva [the city that never sleeps], and Atlasism soon became the foundation and transcendent form of the Daeva Empire.
In order to revive their past glory, they began to search for the lost knowledge of the Mecha, and this included the knowledge related to [Amoni]. ]
"This is full of imperial history. Which text did you read it from? Doesn't the current extraordinary history advocate focusing on multiple perspectives and avoid over-focusing on the imperial perspective and ignoring other perspectives. Since the discovery of [anti-Memogen virus] This kind of thing, all extraordinary history is marked with doubt. After all, all historians have different opinions on how humans dominated Terra and expelled the gods."
Xia Xiu has now arrived at the core level of the tower, and at the same time, his mind continues to follow [Adam] as he talks about history.
“There are many questions that cannot be explained right now. Where is Ion? Where are his four saints? Is Brom dead? Is [The Hanged King] still in the territory of Daev? The God of Machines How did it break?"
As soon as these words came out, the feeling of being an international student in Luyuan suddenly came out.
“Now mankind has embarked on the old path of history again. If a supernatural war breaks out this time without suppressing the collapse, Terra may really explode. Moreover, there are [Crystals] in the Sea of Chaos. God] is already outrageous enough. If they want to come up with something even more outrageous, I think everyone should just die. Even if I work overtime every day, I can’t stop them from jumping around and causing trouble all day long.”
And if there is anything stronger than the smell of international students in Luyuan, it is naturally the smell of the angel club from heaven.
At this moment, the fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven finally arrived at Yelnia's "book collection place". When he saw the things inside, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch slightly, [Ye The knowledge storage items of the Ernia clan are not the information media stored in spores or fungi as he imagined.
[Yelnia] The media used to store knowledge is very trendy, so trendy that Xia Xiu thought he was in the wrong place, and he couldn't help but complain in his mind.
“No matter how I look at these things, they are all things from the Mechanical Church!”
Xia Xiu came to the rows of metal cabinets and picked up one of them casually. Put something in your hands and observe.
It was a cubic metal instrument with a hard appearance, each side being about 30 centimeters long, and a subtle silvery gray appearance. There are many interfaces scattered on the surface, some for data transmission and some for linking with other blocks.
When picking up the cube, Xia Xiu mobilized his genealogy network to directly connect to the cube. Along with the dense data loading of 0s and 1s, the relevant information inside was directly loaded into his pedigree. In the network, [Adam] quickly deciphered the data content above.
[These data record the relevant contents of the "Yelnia Codex"——]
"I am not very curious about the content now. What I am curious about now is Yelnia Races like these with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually use Mecha things as their own civilization media. The sticky pads and fiber optic structures on their six limbs are not the interfaces for plugging in these blocks!
No wonder! The relic civilization of the Mecha is going to beat them hard. These knowledge cubes that should have been inserted and pulled out at will by the mechanical race are now used by plants and insects like Yerniya to plug in and out at will, and the knowledge inside has become theirs. Shape--With such an NTR-like blasphemous act, it would be strange for the followers of Mecha not to go crazy."
The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven played with the knowledge cube in his hand, showing an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Then he started to pick up the cubes one by one, put them in his hands, played with them, stroked them, rubbed them, and plated them...
[·······]
[Adam] expressed his incomprehension about the sudden realization of the social animal Golden Retriever.
And, according to him, he is also blaspheming the knowledge of the machine god.
[As a reminder, due to time and damage, the information in many of the knowledge cubes here has been "contaminated" or mixed, causing the original information to become difficult to understand or confused with other information. ]
[According to the data you loaded, the technology for producing various types of machinery has been lost in the inner earth world. They can only use the only existing construction templates to copy products that have been designed and templated in ancient times. . According to the new square records, an important task of the two geocentric civilizations is to find template technology in the entire geocentric civilization. Therefore, for the two geocentric civilizations, science has become archeology, and they have also become Increasingly religious. ]
“Mecha-god believers really like retro-style technological research methods wherever they go, whether on the surface or in the center of the earth.”
Xia Xiu doesn’t feel too much about this. Unexpectedly, the Mecha believers on the surface also follow the path of archaeological excavation of new technologies, and this is what they like to do.
