Chapter 265 The Lost Ancient Civilization

The group continued to walk inside for half an hour, and everyone was alert to the surroundings, moving carefully and quietly.

It was dark and quiet here, and there seemed to be nothing, only some strange fungi and geothermal plants growing tenaciously, but the density was much smaller than the caves in area B11.

If the last bit of geothermal energy disappears after hundreds or thousands of years, they will wither and die.

There are even few traces of animals, and only a few strange-looking animals occasionally appear, which should be the "monsters" in the mouth of the lizard.

They look highly aggressive, but they are all malnourished and weak, and they pose no threat to humans.

"We are currently about 120 meters from the surface, and the ambient temperature is 4 degrees Celsius. The nuclear radiation here has exceeded the dose that ordinary people can bear. If you stay in such a place for a while, you will easily get radiation sickness."

A scientist checked the detection equipment and said seriously: "I think that perhaps the monsters mentioned by the indigenous lizards are mutant species produced by nuclear radiation."

"The curse they are talking about should be nuclear radiation. That's why diseases or infertility occur..."

Yu Yifeng nodded.

The indigenous people usually classify things they don't understand as ghosts and gods, but humans don't. Humans can always find out the truth behind these phenomena.

It seems that the truth is like this...

But where does such a high level of nuclear radiation come from?

Is there a nuclear war here? Has an advanced civilization appeared here, or...has this been an interstellar battlefield?

All kinds of thoughts emerged in Yu Yifeng's mind, and everything seemed so confusing.

"Captain, look here!"

At this moment, Zhao Yao's eyes lit up after him.

He walked forward carefully, dug out a piece of rusted iron rod from the pit, and slowly handed it to Yu Yifeng.

Yu Yifeng frowned and took the iron rod and looked at it carefully.

This iron rod...actually looks a bit like the steel bars in the house! Yes, it is not something else, just an ordinary steel bar. It is impossible for such a thing to appear in nature.

However, it is so rusty that it breaks directly when touched, and the original situation cannot be seen at all.

Yu Yifeng was shocked, and his heart was beating wildly. He couldn't help asking: "Can the specific material texture and age be detected?"

Another scientist took the iron rod, carefully identified it, and shook his head in embarrassment: "It is too rusty. It basically blends into the surrounding environment and is difficult to identify..."

"But after returning to the base, there are enough instruments, so we can try it."

Everyone was excited and agitated because of the appearance of this iron rod, which meant that they found the right place, and there must be more things here!

It is impossible for a rusty steel bar to appear for no reason...

Yu Yifeng was silent and motioned everyone to be quiet.

He squatted down and carefully examined the ground. It was all dirt and gravel, and there was nothing unusual.

He suddenly touched the wet soil with his hand, and an inexplicable intuition came into his mind.

"Come on, let's dig together!"

After hearing Yu Yifeng's call, more than a dozen people squatted down immediately, without saying much, and started digging directly at the ground.

The rest of the people held guns and were responsible for the surrounding vigilance.

The power armor itself is a high-strength metal with a certain digging function. In addition, the soil is relatively soft and there are no large stones. The digging speed is very fast, and the results were dug out after more than ten minutes.

A... house!

A half-collapsed reinforced concrete house! The steel bars buried in the wall can be vaguely seen.

I don't know how many years it has been buried here. The things inside have long been rotten, but the traces of the house can still be identified...

The wall... and the fragments of furniture!

"No, it can't be the remains of interstellar civilization! It's an ordinary house, an ordinary residential house... There was civilization here!"

A scientist suddenly spoke. His mouth was trembling, not only with excitement, but also with a hint of fear and a hint of fanaticism. This contradictory and crazy mood is simply indescribable.

"There was even a city here! This is just the most ordinary house, yes, it must be just an ordinary house!"

But what about civilization? What about the city?

Why did civilization disappear?

Are those lizards the descendants of this unknown civilization? Why have they degenerated to such an extent?

Impossible!

Could civilization regress?

Everyone was shocked and started another excavation. Then they dug out more strange things.

They dug down one or two meters deep and dug out something similar to a cement road. However, as time passed, there were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and they even merged with the surrounding environment and could only be barely recognized.

Down here, it used to be a road!

This is indeed an ordinary house on the side of the road

Time has passed too long, too long...

It has almost wiped out the traces of civilization!

Civilization, in front of the eternal universe, is completely a drop in the ocean.

Yu Yifeng was getting more and more frightened. He was not only extremely excited, but he also felt that something was weighing down his heart. This contradictory feeling made him almost breathless.

"... Look, look!" A researcher dug out another piece of rotten metal lump, and it was impossible to tell what it was originally.

"This is... a circuit board? This is a circuit board!" Another person found a stone and shouted wildly. Of course, the circuit board could not exist intact. It was integrated into the stone and turned into something like a fossil. The circuit board can be distinguished from the stone!

Yu Yifeng took a breath of cold air.

Since there is a circuit board, it is certain that this civilization has developed to the era of electricity. Even if the technology is worse than that of humans, it is not much worse.

Moreover, the personal computers of this unknown civilization may be quite popular!

You know... the area they excavated has a high probability of being just an ordinary house! Yu Yifeng doesn't believe that his luck is so good. He can dig directly to the core of the unknown civilization with just a dig. He can dig a technological place with just a dig.

"Can you determine the specific technological content?" Yu Yifeng took a close look at the circuit board embedded in the stone.

"Not yet." Another scientific team leader said regretfully: "The damage is too serious. We must take it back to the base for careful study. However, judging from the scale of circuit integration, I am sure that its technological content is above the early 21st century... the remains of an unknown civilization!"

As he spoke, the expert seemed to have thought of something, his face became red, and he fell into a state of enthusiasm: "Even the simplest technology is good, at least it means completeness! The technology tree of our new human civilization is still developing too fast. Because there are too few people, there are a lot of faults..."

"Even some ordinary technologies on Earth are lost! Because our lunar database cannot include all the information on Earth!"

"And the appearance of this underground civilization ruins can make up for the shortcomings of our ordinary technology... No, maybe their technology is more advanced than ours... That would be even better!"

Based on the current findings, it is not possible to determine which is stronger and which is weaker between this unknown civilization and the new human civilization...

But according to various signs in the past, they have completely fallen on Nix!
