Chapter 706: Rag Pickers
One bright spot appeared on the black screen, and the number was increasing rapidly.
The originally dark scene quickly lit up, and clusters of bright nebulae that had only been seen in photos connected into a huge galaxy.
——Although they are all in pixel style.
Watching high-definition pixel style on an 86-inch TV is as beautiful as using 4090 to play FC games.
But having said that, the starry sky appears in the opening animation, which is not too unexpected.
As for science fiction, space themes are definitely a topic that cannot be avoided.
So far, Li Chengqi has expressed calmness.
Then the starry sky on the screen rotated rapidly, making it look a little dizzy. The camera seemed to be pushing forward through countless nebulae, but the speed was too fast, so it gave the illusion of the stars rotating.
Within a few seconds, Li Chengqi saw that the camera had advanced to the ring of a huge gaseous planet. From a distance, it looked like a ring. When he zoomed in closer, he saw a large, densely packed asteroid.
The camera continued to push forward, and finally stopped on an asteroid that was barely shaped like a rhombus.
"Hey, what is Solomon's Fortress?"
The asteroid seemed to have been artificially modified. In many places, metal structures wrapped around the asteroid could be seen. As the camera continued to advance, Li Chengqi saw that there was an artificial opening on one side of the asteroid, like a machine. Same as library.
There was even a row of what looked like small spaceships with complex mechanical structures parked on the floor of the hangar.
"Okay, this is science fiction."
As Li Chengqi complained, the camera continued to advance, passing through the thick rock formations of the transformed asteroid and entering the interior.
At this time, Li Chengqi saw a group of people, or humanoid creatures, walking through the passage.
They all wore uniforms that looked like space suits, but were much lighter than space suits. Since there was no lighting in the passage, a light like a flashlight lit up on the chest of their space suits.
Referring to the experiences of Viola and Yang Yiyi, the protagonists of the science fiction script must be among this group of people.
When Li Chengqi was looking up and down to see who was the protagonist in the team, intermittent flashes of light suddenly began to light up on the screen.
The weapons that looked like guns in the hands of this group of people opened fire.
The reason why I say they look like guns is because some of them look like gunpowder weapons, but their appearance is very different from those on Earth, but some of them are like laser guns, shooting out slender beams of light.
In the darkness, these flashes of light illuminated the surroundings intermittently, and it was vaguely visible that they were attacking something that was a mechanical structure.
After careful identification, Li Chengqi recognized that the one that had been beaten was the magic casing.
This thing has been used by the people of the Glow Ion Monastery. Its ability is not as good as the golem, but its characteristic is that it is cheap, so it can be mass-produced.
Don't tell me, the dark, approaching mechanical monster, coupled with the flash of weapons firing, this composition really feels like a space horror movie.
Li Chengqi watched the group of people maintain a tight formation and fire on both sides. When he was wondering who was the protagonist, he suddenly saw a flash on the screen.
The floor beneath everyone's feet seemed to be violently torn apart, and a large group of shining silver magical casings bloomed directly in the center, instantly swamping the group of people.
Oh, not the protagonist, just an atmosphere group?
The picture started to move again, as if someone was responsible for moving the camera and pushed it to another place.
There is also a passage here, and there are also several people, even the clothes are very similar, at most they are slightly different in color.
The difference is that they were not attacked, or they were attacked before but were repelled.
Li Chengqi saw that some people seemed to be injured. Since the gravity on the asteroid was not enough to stand normally, they tied the injured people up with ropes and pulled them along like a train. There should be a protagonist now, right?
The same thing happened to Yang Yiyi. She was excited for a long time at the beginning, only to realize that the person who jumped off the cliff was a supporting character in a plot that was too long.
As if to confirm Li Chengqi's complaint, nothing suddenly appeared this time and killed the group of people. They passed through the dark passage and came to a space that seemed to be much emptyer.
Then, without knowing what they did, the surrounding headlights were turned on.
A huge mechanical creation that almost occupied the entire screen appeared on the screen.
Its lower body looks like a pyramid, but is made of countless gears, Nixie tubes, vacuum tubes, and metal plates.
The upper body seems to have a human shape, but it is only at this stage.
The head seems to be made of brass pipes, and it is difficult to understand what the purpose of this mechanism is.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
In the year 1388 of the Star Cluster Era, it was mid-June.
Unknown asteroid remains.
The dark and deep corridors have not been passed by for thousands of years, and fine dust floats in the low gravity environment until they are swept out by the bright light of the personal lighting system.
"Sir, Captain, are there really treasures in this ghost place?"
Through the void protective suit, even though it was through the short-range magic communication that came with the protective suit, the sound seemed muffled.
"Of course there is. According to my analysis, no one has entered this place for thousands of years. We are the first batch of treasure hunters."
The person who answered was also stuffed into a protective suit.
She walked at the front, even though one-third of her companions were unable to move due to injuries and had to be led by ropes, her voice still sounded full of excitement.
Through the mask of the void protective suit, it can be seen from her face that she is a standard human being. She is not very old, and she is probably not more than twenty no matter how old she is.
What's more concerning is that half of her hair was shaved, and there was a metal connector-like thing inserted into her scalp. However, she usually used her front hair to comb back to cover the connector, unless it was turned sideways. Otherwise, the face is not very visible.
"Long, think about it, what will we find here in ancient ruins that no one has visited for thousands of years?"
"I don't want to think about this at all. Before the benefits, we have to consider the risks. There are already several recyclers competing with us."
The person talking to her was a very strange 'person'.
Although it's not clearly visible in the Void suit, from the mask she appears to be a ball.
And it was a shiny, natural crystal ball. Whenever she spoke, the ball would light up with a faint orange light, as if there was a ball of light squirming inside.
Long is her name, this is a silicon crystal person.
They are one of the very few races that can adapt to survive in the void environment. Their true form is the crystal ball, and their bodies are mechanical and can be modified at will, even with a few wooden sticks.
They will only appear in the void, not that they cannot survive under normal gravity, but because there are not many races, and the endless void is too big, it is almost impossible to see them in the mortal world.
The captain of the Silicon Crystal People, named Alyssa, is a recycler.
In layman's terms, it's just a rag picker...
