Chapter 702： The secret of the crystal corpse

"This……"

Meng Chao felt a chill, slowly rising from his tail vertebrae. He calmed down and continued to ask, "So, when did this crystal clear life of Primordial wisdom die?"

"We thought of a lot of methods, and we were unable to calculate the age of its death without destroying the corpse. We can only deal with the items around it-swords, armor, rune machinery, and some traces of burning charcoal. , Make a rough guess."

Wu Haibo said, "We estimate that this crystal-clear corpse and the items carried with him came from at least 100,000 to tens of millions of years ago."

"A hundred thousand years ago to tens of millions of years ago?"

Meng Chao frowned, "This time span is too big, right?"

"That's right, the material foundation of the alien world is extremely unstable, even the radioactive half-life is so, so when it is timed, it is more ambiguous than on Earth."

Wu Haibo continued, "Speaking of which, this'Crystal Corpse' personal belongings are indeed much larger in age than everything we have discovered in the Archaic Relics. It seems that it concentrates different substances from tens of millions of years. It's the same when I get to myself.

"In short, the latest death time of the crystal corpse was 100,000 years ago. At that time, the coastline, mountains and rivers of the Eurasian continent on the earth were completely different from the middle and late 21st century. When the crystal corpse was still alive, how Maybe you can foresee what the earth will look like in 100,000 years, and know that people on earth will travel to another world and dig it out?"

Meng Chao fell into deep thought.

In Wu Haibo's description, there are no monsters with teeth and claws, hideous and ugly.

But he still felt that the secret hidden behind the crystal corpse was a hundred times more weird and terrifying than any doomsday beasts or even alien gods and monsters.

"Apart from the earth, are there other patterns on the metal plate drawn by the crystal corpse?" Meng Chao pondered for a long time, his brain was still entangled with thorny hemp, he shook his head and continued to ask.

"Yes, beside the earth, there is a planet the same size as the earth, and continents and oceans are also drawn on it. Of course, the outlines of the continents are not the same as the earth."

Wu Haibo said, "However, since there is a sea, it means that there is liquid water and atmosphere. The ratio of the sea to the land is also seven to three equal to that of the earth. The potholes in the coastline are obviously being eroded by the waves, indicating the climate and tides. It is also similar to the earth, and we have every reason to suspect that this is the'other world'.

"Starting from the earth, an arrow pointing to another world was drawn.

"Compared with the explosion of other information left by this corpse and the extremely difficult to decipher text, this arrow is simple and immature to the extreme. Even elementary school students understand that it means that we have crossed from the earth to another world."

"The so-called'arrow' originates from'arrows.' Therefore, as long as our civilization evolves to the point where we can make bows and arrows and sharpen arrows, we will be able to understand this painting..."

Meng Chao muttered to himself, and couldn't wait to ask, "Are there any more patterns?"

"There are, but..."

Wu Haibo organized the language and drew a few circles in the void with his fingers, saying, "The whole metal panel is like the other party's last force drawn before he died. According to the sequence, the earth drawn is the finest. It is almost impossible to zoom in with a microscope, and the amount of information is reduced by several orders of magnitude.

"When I finished drawing the alien world, the other party seemed to realize that he was dead soon, so he could only speed up and make it crudely. It was behind the alien world and drew several circles in one breath, and used the same arrow to connect these circles together. , In the end, point to a large circle that is many times larger than the earth and the other world."

"The same arrow connects the earth, other worlds and different circles in series, and points to a huge circle. What does this mean?"

Meng Chao thought about it, and speculated, "If the first arrow refers to the people on the earth crossing into another world, can the series of arrows behind mean that our journey through crossing is not over yet, and we have to cross from another world to more worlds? go?

"So, what does it mean for a big circle that is many times larger than the earth and the other world?

"You must know that the volume and mass of the Earth are the golden scale for the birth of carbon-based intelligent life. Planets that are many times larger than the Earth are only'giant planets' with extremely high gravity. It is difficult to imagine that carbon-based intelligence will be born on giant planets. Life and civilization."

"No, the final destination drawn by the other party should not be a giant planet, but an existence ten thousand times larger than a giant planet. However, because the space of the metal panel is limited, it can't be drawn anymore, so it can only be reduced as much as possible and can barely be drawn. The tip of the iceberg, and then, on this huge circle, it drew a lot of outward wavy lines. In many ancient murals of earth civilization, similar patterns often represent the sun or stars."

Wu Haibo said, "As for the circles and arrows in front, your speculation is similar to the judgment of the Heritage Research Institute. We all agree that this crystal-clear ancient life form wants to tell us...the future visitors of the earth before dying. , Another world is by no means the end. Our journey has just begun. Our mission is to cross continuously, and finally—"

"Finally crossed into a star?" Meng Chao was puzzled.

"Who knows, perhaps, for the life forms active in higher dimensions, the interior of the star has something special?"

Wu Haibo said, "In short, based on this crystal corpse, the Ruins Research Institute has set up two projects at the same time. One is to find a large number of the remains of the ancient device based on the guidance of the corpse, repair and copy them, in order to master the'controllable crossing technology'. The 101 project, the other is to study the corpse itself, trying to figure out why it can predict the shape of the earth hundreds of thousands of years from now."

It turned out that Project 101 and Project 109 all originated from this mysterious and crystal clear corpse at least 100,000 years ago.

No wonder Wu Haibo knew everything about the crystal corpse.

"Foresee the future... in a hundred thousand years?"

Meng Chao gently rubbed his temples, and asked thoughtfully, "Are there any results from Project 109?"

"As far as I know, no."

Wu Haibo shook his head slowly, "As one of the most money-burning projects of the Heritage Research Institute, our 101 project is far from opening the door to the crossing between the earth and the alien world. Although there are still thousands of miles away, but at any rate, we also have Some highly practical results can barely cope with the boss and investors.

"But the 109 project did not produce any theoretical breakthroughs, nor did it produce any results that could be applied to actual combat. On the contrary, in the past seven or eight years, nearly a hundred researchers have been driven crazy."

"what?"

Meng Chao's pupils suddenly shrank, "Crazy?"

"Yes, crazy."

Wu Haibo nodded and said, "To do research in ghost places like the Archaic Relics and get into trouble, the mental index plummets or even zeros, and we become a total lunatic. This is our destiny.

"But the collapse probability of the 109 project researchers is so high that everyone is daunted. No matter how generous the conditions are, no one wants to join the 109 project.

"It stands to reason that this crystal clear corpse is one of the most complete objects we have unearthed in the depths of the Archaean Relics. If its secret is unlocked, it will definitely make our civilization level, stride forward for hundreds of years or even Thousands of years, but on the eve of the explosion, there were only 7 researchers left in the entire 109 project team, and they all became nervous, depressed, anxious, irritable, and all kinds of negative emotions were extremely strong.

"During several routine mental index tests, their mental condition was on the verge of collapse. The study should have been forcibly suspended and sent for treatment. However, the team leader of the 109 project promised that their research A breakthrough has been made, and the mystery of the crystal corpse is about to be solved, and their discovery is very likely to change the future of the entire Dragon City!"

"Change... the future of Dragon City?"

Meng Chao squinted his eyes, and the fire under his eyes jumped uncertainly.

"Although all projects would say the same when they were robbing money, people and the use time of research facilities, including when additional investment was requested and the research cycle was extended, that time, all the members of the 109 project exuded the energy of not being mad and not alive. That bluffed everyone."

Wu Haibo sighed and sighed, "If we hadn't believed their madness, perhaps, there would be a chance to stop the catastrophic explosion."

"Big explosion?"

Meng Chao couldn't help but ask, "What the **** was the big explosion that happened in the past two years? Has everything in Project 109 been destroyed? No matter how exploded and burned, there will always be debris left, right? The crystal clear corpse, as well as the metal panel containing the earth pattern and massive information, since it can withstand the erosion of at least hundreds of thousands of years, there is no reason why nothing is left!"

Wu Haibo gave Meng Chao a weird look, and said, "Don't get excited, you seem to be particularly interested in Project 109?"

Meng Chao took a deep breath and said, "You speak so twists and turns and mysterious, I don't think you are interested in it!"

"Yes, there are so many weird facts that occurred in the depths of the ancient ruins, so that even if a researcher suddenly becomes a giant dragon with teeth and claws, it is not uncommon, but the strange explosion of the 109 project is definitely eligible for selection' The top three of the ten mysterious events of Taikoo Ruins."

Wu Haibo said, "You are right. Both the crystal corpse itself and the metal panel used to input information and draw patterns are made of materials that we cannot resolve. The strength, hardness and melting point of this material are extremely high. It stands to reason that even if it is put into a steelmaking furnace with a high temperature of thousands of degrees, it will not melt easily.

"But in this very strange explosion, the crystal corpse and the metal panel...disappeared for no reason."
