Civilization of the Stars: I loaded the mod

Chapter 66 The Art of Distortion

The position of the shell...

Pace strode forward, and the one-meter-high shacks were scattered beside tables or machines, presumably taking on the function of chairs.

Most of the shells were left in the shacks.

Combined with Dr. Zeta's knowledge sharing a few days ago, she quickly understood the biological types of ancient civilizations.

"It appears that these shells are the remains of an ancient civilized race."

Shells, remains, corpses?

Somewhere in the hall, the star who drilled into the shell out of curiosity, heard the voice of the channel, and immediately looked up to see the frozen mucus on the shell wall.

He shrank his head suddenly and bumped into the visor, and even rolled and crawled to escape.

It's the remains again, why do I always come across these scary things every time I do archaeology.

The black holes in the eye sockets of Mojie's skeleton, and the hideous sculpture that Kalanka had just died not long ago, now got into the corpse of the Knum star.

Xing Lai's face was pale, and he stood behind the captain anxiously, grabbed her life jacket, and made up his mind not to run away.

Aisha noticed the little follower behind her, smiled and said nothing, and then heard Xing Lai whispering.

"Inside the shell, there's frozen mucus."

slime?

Instead, she stepped forward to pick up a shell and looked it over carefully.

The presence of shells shows that it is not an intelligent race of humanoid creatures. It seems that the races in the isolated star cluster are not all human beings... and it is different from what Master Gudu said, Knum Star is really special...

"Captain Pace, can you confirm that this is a remains? If it is really a shell remains, then the intelligent creatures of ancient civilizations are molluscs like giant scallops and giant snails?"

"It can be confirmed." Pace nodded affirmatively. "In buildings such as urban residences, there are the most shells, and some even have only shells."

"That's right, no wonder the ones here are so short."

Aisha raised her arms upwards and touched the ceiling easily. "The height of two meters is already very high for this group of creatures."

"It's hard to imagine a bunch of slug creatures evolving advanced intelligence."

"Indeed, even the freezing failed to stop their remains from disappearing, leaving only shells. It is hard to imagine their physiological structure."

Pace nodded. If the civilization composed of molluscs can be well studied, it must be a wealth of scientific research.

Thinking of this, her flat heart rarely became active.

For a wanderer, the stories of the universe are the best spiritual resources when roaming the stars.

Turning around and scanning the hall, he pointed to a metal door on the side, and the lantern shone on the blind spot at the edge of the hall.

"Let's go."

Kicking away a few large shells that got in the way, Pace moved forward, the metal door was still incomplete, exposing the dark space behind.

Relying on the limited direct light source, they could barely distinguish the passage behind the door all the way down.

"The surface part of this building is not important. The underground part may be built to resist low temperatures. It is very deep. If it were me, the machines in the data center would definitely be placed at the bottom."

Bana, who was behind, trotted to keep up with the pace of the crowd, and whispered about the harvest just now.

"I found something that looked like an electronic machine under the table. It couldn't be used, but it looked like an ordinary electronic machine. There was no suspicious mysterious device."

"If there is any electronic information stored in this data center, we should be able to decipher it."

A member of another team said along the train of thought.

"Perhaps we should be thankful that the ancient civilization of Planet Knum is not a genetic technology route like in the movie, or it is simply a magical civilization."

Aisha laughed twice.

Since Pace affirmed the existence of the mysterious factor, everyone's minds became a little more concerned.

A civilization with an electro-mechanical technology system, of course, may also have a civilization with a supernatural technology system. When the two encounter each other's equipment, there is a high probability that they will be blinded by both eyes.

Opening the other party's machine won't work, and opening the machine can't understand it.

"Okay, stop talking, hurry down."

Pace ruthlessly interrupted his teammate's fantasy, and stood at the incomplete hole, secretly regretting in his heart.

I shouldn't have said that much, it's good now, teammates have to think about whether it's magic or not.

The difference between psionic power and magic is not 01:30.

Sighing again, she stretched out her portable lamp to illuminate the road ahead. The ramp sloped downwards with a gentle slope, and there were no steps. There were things like large skateboards on both sides.

The reason can be imagined.

Molluscs don't have feet and certainly don't need steps, and a skateboard could be something akin to a mobility scooter.

"Wow~ These murals..."

Team member Xing Lai's attention was obviously not on the road, but the first time to rub against the wall.

"As expected of molluscs, their aesthetics and artistic style are really... hard to describe."

Pace Aisha followed her position towards the individually lit wall.

Dazzling at first glance, the murals are like chaotic tentacles tangled together.

The carved lines rarely have straight lines, and most of them are various curved or even twisted patterns, which are interspersed without any rules.

Obviously, the brain circuits of most Gu Du people may not be able to understand this kind of alien art.

But... there are always surprises.

"It's so beautiful! I seem to have seen the trajectory change of a huge planet."

Xinglai exclaimed in a flash of inspiration for no reason, the meaning of the graffiti is very complicated, just like a child's raving, vaguely like a personal imagination.

Before the subjective consciousness could react, the subconscious mind blurted out the thoughts directly.

"Is it expressing astronomical knowledge?"

From Bana's perspective, the scene in front of her was terrifying.

Once again, Xinglai, who was 'sick', was almost lying on the wall, with his limbs stuck to the mural and randomly touching the metal dents, his eyes were dull and distracted, and he was muttering something in his mouth.

A term for a game suddenly came back to her mind.

'SAN CHECK, if you succeed, you die normally, if you fail, you become distorted into an indescribable creature'

He stepped forward and tugged at her clothes worriedly.

"Xinglai...it's okay, no matter how much you like it, you can't buckle it down and lick it, it will freeze your tongue."

"what?"

After regaining his senses, Xing Lai touched the murals normally, thinking that Ji You was falling in love with him again.

Besides, who would lick these dirty murals!
"Don't try to persecute my reputation! How can you, a muscular creature in the art desert, understand the epic sense of this new art colliding with old thinking."

"..."

This time Bana remained silent and didn't quarrel with her.

Xing Lai was a little confused, why didn't he talk back?
Kicked Bana lightly. "Mute?"

Snapped!
The sound of something heavy hitting the wall.

"Captain, let's go, someone is very active and wants to stay here as a master of alien art."

Bana had a smile on her face, and she was very active and responsible for leading the battle.

Most people snickered and followed one after another.

Seeing the team members' outrageous operations, Aisha was speechless in her heart. Under the signal of Pace's eyes, she walked to the corner alone and 'deducted' the person out.

Dragging her to keep up with the team, he taught her a lesson: "Skin! Just your skin!"

"Don't be dazed, get up quickly!"

"Oh..." Xing Lai's demented expression disappeared in an instant, turned over and got up, and patted the dust that didn't exist on the clothes.

"Tell me about what you can see from the painting." Aisha took advantage of the situation and asked Xing to be responsible for the explanation.

She still cares about Xinglai's imagination, although most of the time it is unreliable, but this is also a sign of high inspiration.

With a flash of genius, luck can replace ninety-nine percent of hard work.

In this way, a small episode of exploration did not take up too much time. The two were at the end of the team. Xinglai kept recording the murals on the metal wall, and the narration from the inspiration kept ringing from the headset channel, serving as a chatter on the way of boring exploration .

Whenever a new layer of gates is removed or a new discovery is made, the communication will remain silent and concentrate on work.
