199. Groundless
There was no light in the strange tower rising from the horizon.
A huge wave suddenly burst into the calm sea water, and the moonlight shone miserably on the black basalt tower, and the "boom" sound of being beaten by the waves like beasts was deafening.
Like the infinitely high tower of heaven recorded in the Old Testament Genesis, it is still slowly rising.
It is said that there was once a language shared by humans: Adam.
They united to build a tower that hoped to lead to heaven. In order to prevent humans from planning, the omniscient people let humans speak different languages so that humans cannot communicate with each other. The plan failed and humans have since been scattered.
Babelta is its name.
In order to make a promise, the omniscient people no longer use great floods to flood the buds of civilization.
After the great flood disaster, the first rainbow appeared in the sky.
The omniscient man came over and said, "I put the rainbow in the clouds, and this will be a sign of my covenant with the earth. When I make the clouds cover the earth, there will be a rainbow in the clouds, and I will commemorate the covenant I made with you and all living creatures of flesh and blood; the water will no longer flood, nor will it destroy all living creatures of flesh and blood."
The omniscient people made an agreement with the people on the earth with the rainbow that they would no longer destroy the earth with great floods.
Since then, everyone in the world has spoken the same language and the same accent.
The ark of the benefactor Noah stopped on the ground, and his descendants became more and more numerous and spread all over the ground, so he moved eastward.
They encountered the plain at Shina, so they stopped and settled here.
One day, someone asked a question: How do we know that there will be no more floods from the Noah era that drowned us like our ancestors?
"This is a rainbow as evidence," someone replied, "When we see the rainbow, we will remember the promise of the omniscient, saying that he will never destroy the world with the flood again."
"But there is no reason to place our future and the future of our children and grandchildren on the rainbow." Another argued: "We should do something so that the flood will not happen again."
So they discussed with each other and said, "Come on, we want to make bricks and burn them through."
They said, "Come on, we will build a city and a tower, with the top of which is to spread our name so that we will not be scattered on the earth."
Because everyone has the same language and works together, the giant tower built quickly soared into the sky.
This move angered the omniscient, and wild anger burned on him.
The omniscient people find that their vows are doubted and do not allow humans to doubt their vows, just as we do not like others to doubt themselves. The omniscient people decide to punish these people who have forgotten their promises, just like Adam and Eve who stole the forbidden fruit.
His apostles were everywhere among the crowd, and soon everyone's language was lost, his accent was chaotic, and people were scattered and separated, spreading all over the place, and the work of building cities and towers was stopped.
Later, the city was called Babel, and the unfinished tower was Babel Tower, which means chaos and noisy.
Human arrogance will only end up in a chaotic ending.
On the pitch-black tower, it seemed that occasionally there were flying seabirds staying on it.
But fishermen who are familiar with the sea know that in the storm of nearly level 9, even seagulls, known as fighting storms, dare not circle on them, let alone other seabirds?
The birds looked strange, with their wings spreading three meters in length, and their bodies were slender, just like the ominous blood clan recorded in myths.
Above the tower is the broken black rock, which is like it was broken by something, and above it is not clouds.
When the clouds are slightly thin, the hidden objects occasionally reveal a corner.
Surprisingly, it was also black, and it was an equally pitch-black giant tower, hanging upside down, mirroring each other with the tower in the sea.
A strong light burst out from the top, through the vast darkness, sweeping across the fields like a super giant searchlight. After only a few seconds, the light went out, and the black tower body was filled with a transparent red light, like a candle burning in a hollow eggshell.
The huge sense of energy caused the surrounding sea water to roll huge waves hundreds of meters high, and the fluctuations of energy spread throughout the planet, which also shocked someone who was thousands of miles away.
He did feel the fluctuation of the energy, and was still so shocking.
It was like a premonition of something, and the corner of his mouth sneered slightly.
Here comes!
The thing that was waiting for came, this powerful energy could not be anything else. He had already seen the surging waves.
But at this moment, he had only one thought - to take it greedily for himself.
This is a power that humans do not deserve.
After the Central Tower rose, unusual phenomena appeared elsewhere on the planet - local mountain collapsed with a magnitude 34 earthquake, huge waves on the sea, and another 1,143 giant towers were about to break out of the ground.
The deserted plains among mountains, the sea, lakes, deserts, and human villages and towns
But no one knows what that thing is, and why these strange things appear.
300 kilometers away from the mine city, Zhuge Yun stood on the hillside behind a temporary iron house.
This is a former civilization ruin that the Lin family is exploring.
The remains are huge, but they are seriously damaged, and the most valuable parts are buried deep underground.
On Zhuge Yun's hand, clusters of things as thin as hair were floating, emitting blue light as the injected spiritual power. These things were discovered here.
A cast-in-the-cast biobattery core can be divided into dozens of segments, and each small segment can drive a mass-produced locomotive.
Mr. Bart and Mr. Fitt have been stationed here for 2 weeks and are carefully checking out the unearthed things.
"Uncle Yan, the inventory has been completed, and there are about 13 tons in the warehouse."
Fitt held a laptop-like device in his hand - a small intelligent brain. He wore a weird glasses that could display data on his head, almost covering most of his face.
This is a copy of the former civilization brought by Mr. Ghost from the Domino's laboratory. The energy drive is the newly developed small battery, with a capacity of only one-two percent of the battery at the auction, but it is enough to drive this small intelligent brain.
With the help of this thing, both of them felt like they were treasured.
After extremely excited and sleepless research for several nights, they not only mastered the tricks of using, but also greatly improved their work efficiency.
"Well, there are so many." Zhuge Yun nodded with satisfaction.
"There should be a lot below. It is estimated that there are at least 10 tons in the warehouse just excavated, and there are more than 20 such rooms that have been found."
"Dongfang, come here."
On Dongfang Road, he was using his eyes equipped with tomography to investigate the terrain of the remains. When he heard the call of his master, he ran to him a few ups and downs.
"Swap this, just made battery."
"yes!"
Since Dongfanglu's body was completely transformed by his master's supreme ability, he was admired by the degree of worship.
The muscles on the breastplate rotated, and metal bones were exposed in the holes as big as fists. A beam of traction light shot out from his chest. The small spiral circle that had been coiled to the size of a little finger was sucked in.
Suddenly, a feeling of energy filled him made him scream "Ah!".
"Well, you should be able to use your new abilities, try opening the shield."
Since he obtained the shield ability, Dongfanglu has been afraid to use it because Zhuge Yun told him that the energy shield consumes too much and can only last for a few minutes.
He had seen the power of this energy shield in George Domino, and was impressed at the time. Even under the crazy attack of his wild energy, the golden lattice shield could offset most of his attacks.
At this moment, Dongfanglu reached out and touched the back of his neck, and his body was covered with this lattice-shaped shield from head to toe.
From a distance, he looked like a big silkworm cocoon wrapped in golden color.
