This was once the birthplace of the human interstellar federal government, a rich planet.
More than seven hundred years have passed. Now, the Gore star has declined. The originally busy interstellar port has become depressed, and the huge and ancient circular bridge is parked with spaceships in twos and threes.
The interstellar port happened to be blocked by the star Gore, which gave the huge steel port a post-modern decadent beauty.
The Bat was anchored at the interstellar port, and two of the underground warden's men stayed on the ship. The underground warden and Zhou Sen and his party took the shuttle boat to Gore alone.
When everyone boarded the interstellar port, they found that the place was more depressed than they imagined. There were not many people visible in the huge interior space of the port. Occasionally, tourists in groups would pass by and marvel at this ancient port.
The space architecture adds some life.
After boarding the interstellar port, the underground warden became taciturn. Even if he was spoken to, he would just shake his head and nod.
After completing simple procedures, everyone boarded a modified tender boat.
Why is it said to be a modified tender?
Because this is an ancient spaceship. It is too old and is no longer suitable for long-distance travel in the interstellar space, so it is used as a short-distance transfer boat.
After everyone got on the spacecraft, it took off, making bursts of harsh metal friction sounds. Everyone was worried that the spacecraft would suddenly disintegrate in the air.
The staff of the spaceship was very enthusiastic. She seemed to know that everyone was worried about the spacecraft disintegrating, and she told everyone in a humorous manner that they could rest assured that she had been traveling to and from the planet on this spacecraft since she was born. When she grew up, she worked on this spacecraft for more than 100 years.
For ten years, the spacecraft has been normal except for the occasional strange noise, and it will fly for hundreds of years without any problems...
…
Because the spacecraft is too old, a journey of more than 20 minutes usually takes more than an hour, so a documentary about the Gore star was played on the spacecraft.
According to the documentary, Gore was the political and cultural center of human interstellar civilization more than 700 years ago.
More than 700 years ago, a war broke out among humans who entered the interstellar civilization. This war led to the subjugation of hundreds of countries separated from the ancient earth. Only the five empires remained and the human interstellar empire was established on the planet Gore.
federal government...
…
The documentary did not explain too much about the war. It basically gave a brief introduction, focusing on introducing the original glory and prosperity of Gore Star.
Why did Gor's star decline?
According to the documentary, after the establishment of the human interstellar federal government, mankind began to enter a period of vigorous development of interstellar civilization. In just a hundred years, thousands of planets habitable to humans were discovered and countless planets were opened.
route.
As humans explore the depths of the universe, the location of the planet Gore gradually changes. In order to facilitate management, the human interstellar federal government moved out of the planet, and then the planet gradually declined.
If Gore hadn't been mentioned in interstellar history in human textbooks, many people wouldn't even know there was such a planet.
For a long time, Gore was a must-visit tourist attraction, but as time went by, this planet with few tourist resources became depressed and deserted...
…
It was daytime in the area where the spacecraft landed. Through the portholes, you could see that the planet's surface retained a rich old industrial system, and there were even many ancient chimneys.
As you get closer to the ground, you can see large areas of abandoned steel factories. The rusty steel exudes an atmosphere of vicissitudes of life, as if telling them on the spacecraft about the prosperity of the past.
Zhou Sen noticed that the underground warden had become nervous. He was clinging to the porthole like a child, his eyes fixed on the ground...
…
Surface port.
Like the interstellar port, the land port was as deserted and deserted. In fact, the lazy staff were not very interested in their identity certificates. They just used instruments to identify them and passed without even taking a look at them from beginning to end.
The underground warden did not seem to have made preliminary reception arrangements like he did in the capital of the Sack Empire. After leaving the land port, everyone rented an ancient hover vehicle from a rental company.
In order to avoid affecting the conversation, Zhou Sen asked the old villain and Shi Hu to rent a hover car and follow them behind.
Originally, Zhousen Prison wanted to hire a tour guide or driver, but the underground warden rejected the request.
The warden of the underground prison drove the car himself.
The ancient floating car shuttles through the streets and alleys of Gorsingol City, giving people a sense of aimlessness.
The city of Gore is not as deserted as everyone imagines. There are many vehicles and pedestrians on the streets, especially tourists.
"Old man, you seem to be very emotional!" Zhou Sen finally couldn't help but ask.
"Do you understand how timid it is to be close to home?"
"I... don't understand, I have no hometown..." When Zhou Sen said this, the vague scene of the orphanage suddenly appeared in his mind. Zhou Sen had almost no impression of the orphanage because he was raised at a very young age.
His parents adopted him.
Where is your hometown?
Orphanage?
"You will understand when you get older."
The underground warden seemed not to want to speak and started to speed up.
Left the city.
Away from the busy streets.
The hover car that originally flew close to the ground began to take off.
field.
Getting further and further away from the city, the view outside the window becomes more and more desolate, and no one can see any human habitation anymore.
A mountain.
This mountain range is very special. It is surrounded by low hills and plains, but there is only such a big mountain lying in it, like a giant dragon lying in the wilderness, which is very shocking to the eyes.
The underground warden drove the hover car and landed at the top of the mountain, where the dragon's head was.
What makes Zhou Sen strange is that although this mountain is in a desolate place, the place where they landed is very flat. If you look closely, you can see that it is a square made of huge rocks. It may be because no one has taken care of it for a long time.
Shrubs grew between the gaps, and the surface of the boulders was covered with moss.
Perhaps it is because the gaps between the boulders are too thin to provide enough nutrients for the trees, and the shrubs are not large. Moreover, in order to absorb nutrients, the tree roots have covered the rocks, and their roots are intertwined, like criss-crossing spider webs.
After the underground warden got out of the car, he walked through the bushes in the square and walked towards the top of the towering mountain. After walking less than two hundred meters, he was blocked by a dilapidated building.
This is an ancient building, with ruins and broken walls, and collapsed everywhere. However, from the parts that are still standing, we can guess that this building must have been as majestic as that mountain.
"The great river goes eastward, and the waves are swept away, and there are all the romantic figures of the ages. To the west of the fortress, the human path is: Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms and the Red Cliff. The rocks penetrate the sky, the waves crash on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow are rolled up. The country is picturesque, and there are so many heroes at that time...
"
Suddenly, the underground prison warden began to sing, his voice was vast and thick, which made people feel sad.
Orin stepped back and faithfully recorded the scene.
Since joining this jailbreak team, Olin has always adhered to her duty as a reporter and kept records of obscurity.
Zhou Sen's mind was spinning as he searched for clues about this square in his brain.
Just now, Zhou Sen made a visual inspection through the growth of shrubs. This "Dragon Head" had previously been flattened and paved with huge stones, covering an area of millions of square meters. Such a super square is rare in the five major star regions, and will definitely go down in history.
Leave traces.
What disappoints Zhou Sen is that in his knowledge reserve, there is no historical information related to this square.
Zhou Sen's eyes fell on reporter Olin.
In terms of being well-informed, Olin, as a reporter, is definitely far more knowledgeable than Zhou Sen, a scientist who never leaves home.
"What place is this?" Zhou Sen walked to Olin and asked in a low voice.
"Stone Square." Olin did not disappoint Zhou Sen, she answered him immediately.
"Stone Statue Square... where are the stone statues?" Zhou Sen looked around, but he didn't see any stone statue ruins.
"There." Orin pouted forward.
"Where?" Zhou Sen looked confused.
"Mountain!"
"Mountain?" Zhou Sen looked at the towering mountain.
"Yes, there is a huge stone statue at the top of the mountain, but because it has been so long ago, dust accumulated in the cracks of the stone, and then birds dropped seeds, and many weeds and trees grew. Therefore, if you don't look carefully now,
, it’s hard to see the outline of the stone statue." Orin looked at the underground warden and said softly.
Zhou Sen stopped and watched intently. Sure enough, there were faint traces of a bust on the majestic mountain head, but it would have been difficult to see it without someone prompting him.
While Zhou Sen was watching, suddenly, the warm current in his dantian stirred, and the god in his chest also trembled...
