The giant stone statue is similar to the human form. Measured, the length is about 150 meters.
The head is a bit sharp, I don’t know if it’s the leader of the group or an artistic process.
At first, Rina and Yukio planned to use salvage equipment to drag up the giant stone statue, but unexpectedly found that it was very heavy.
After detecting it again, it was found that it actually weighed almost 50,000 tons, which was really unbelievable.
There was no choice but to let the frigate and the scientific research ship come together, using the traction of the scientific research ship and the powerful thrust of the frigate to pull the stone statue up from the water a hundred meters deep.
The ocean surface was surging due to the action. When the stone statue was lifted out of the water, water vapor filled the surroundings and countless rainbows were illuminated by the sun.
"everything is normal!"
"The ship is operating well."
The controller reported on the salvage progress, and Yukio also said to Rina.
"Rina, please pull this stone statue to the shore, and I will send an underwater detector to check the situation in that city."
"No problem~"
Rina responded to Yukio like a girl, and pulled the giant stone statue towards the shore a few kilometers away.
After the turbulence on the sea surface subsided, the door of a ship parked on the water opened. Yukio walked out and continued to explore the underwater city with multiple devices.
Not long after, their reports reached Gao Shuling.
After Rina used fine instruments to remove the mud and algae attached to the stone statue, the appearance of the giant stone statue was revealed to everyone.
"They look very similar to humans, except they have a pointed head and a little big eyes. Is this what a R'lyeh person looks like?"
Facing Rina's question, Gao Shuling was temporarily unable to answer. Judging from the remaining traces, the Raleye people should not be like this.
Moreover, this kind of stone statue is somewhat bare. Why didn’t the sculptor add any depictions of clothing?
Soon, Yukio's underwater city exploration project was coming to an end.
It was similar to a city on land, except that the buildings were obviously hit to varying degrees, like a dilapidated scene after a war.
"Based on my engineering experience, this city looks like it was hit by a giant hammer, and the rocks scattered everywhere don't look like they were struck by high-energy weapons."
"Interestingly, the civilization data model of this underwater city can also scan for clues. It should be integrated with your model in a few days."
The two of them were like students handing in homework, telling Gao Shuling their opinions and discoveries.
Gao Shuling also nodded with satisfaction, "Well, you two did a good job. Let's continue to detect the ocean surface in another area."
Rina and Yukio quit the communication after getting a new topic and continued to the next location to carry out the exploration project.
Later in the evening, Yuan Dawu's discoveries in the Eastern Hemisphere were also reported back, and he reported the situation to his mentor.
At this time, he had just finished building detection equipment in the jungle under the volcano. This area was similar to a tropical rainforest, but there were no mosquitoes or reptiles intruding, which made people feel more at ease.
"Although this active volcano is active, the possibility of eruption is not high. The mission to detect the crustal structure has not yet started. There should be results in a few days."
"Well, please pay attention to your safety. I have synchronized the data detected by Rina and Yukio into the scientific research project. You can study it more."
"Okay, I know."
Yuan Dawu was very grateful for his tutor's concern.
In addition to being a mentor, Gao Shuling is also a distant relative of his. This project can also be regarded as a test for him. If it is successfully completed, it is not impossible to establish his own department.
Four days later, the second phase of the detection of the planet R'lyeh was completed.
Everyone's understanding of R'lyeh civilization has deepened.
In the temporary scientific research station, except for Yuan Dawu who was not present, it was still Linai who reported the integrated civilization model to everyone.
"After our exploration these days, we can be sure that the R'lyeh civilization should have entered a highly information age..."
With her explanation, the combat team all understood the level of this R'lyeh civilization.
It can be said that the highly informationized era is similar to the civilian technology in Daxia now, except that there is no advanced technology like ultra-long-distance communication.
They are just one step away from entering space civilization.
As long as the global administrative organizations are unified and work together to develop aerospace technology, maybe the entire race will no longer be limited to one planet, and can develop the huge resources in the galaxy and enter the era of technological explosion.
Unfortunately, although the R'lyeh civilization has developed the prototype of a space battleship, it seems to have stopped at the pace of global unification.
"Although the R'lyeh civilization has the ability to coordinate all administrative organizations, there are still constant frictions and frequent wars."
"Later, due to the shortage of resources, various administrative organizations stopped aviation research and development and entered the final era of war."
"As a result, the planet R'lyeh was severely polluted, and its livability dropped rapidly until their era of extinction came..."
Speaking of this, Rina's tone was also a little heavy. As a sociology expert, she would inevitably be involved.
This is a typical example of a civilization trapped in a planet.
Human civilization is not like this. If it had not entered the unified era, Daxia would not have become an interstellar civilization and achieved its current achievements.
"Wait, Miss Rina, what's going on with that giant stone statue? You don't seem to have said anything yet." A soldier asked curiously.
Indeed, Rina had just described the development of the entire civilization, but what happened to this stone statue?
Could it be that the achievement was the product of the whim of some administrative organization?
The soldiers' curious questions were actually everyone's doubts.
Even Gao Shuling is thinking about this issue, because there are more and more unsolved mysteries about stone statues and the demise of civilization.
Rina collected her thoughts and began to continue talking.
“Let’s talk about the giant stone statue first.”
"After our inspection, we found that the density of the material making up this statue is far beyond our imagination. In other words, it may not be a product of this planet."
"And the demise of the R'lyeh civilization was also very strange."
"Judging from the scale of their development, the resources of the planet R'lyeh should still allow them to persist for another four to five hundred years, but they suddenly perished one day without leaving any obvious signs."
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers were surprised. Could it be that the Raleye civilization was destroyed by aliens?
"So, regarding the exploration of R'lyeh civilization, I think we still need further exploration."
After a long narration, Rina gave her final conclusion.
After this meeting, everyone became more interested in the mystery of Raleye and started the third phase of detailed investigation.
In the Eastern Hemisphere, Yuan Dawu also made new discoveries.
After completing a project to detect crustal movement, he came to a strange conclusion.
The crust under that volcano is very normal, and it does not seem that the volcano was formed due to changes in internal stress in the crust.
Everyone knows that volcanoes are formed when the earth's crust squeezes against each other.
But under Yuan Dawu's scan, the crust in this area was complete, with no obvious signs of fracture.
He was curious, if this volcano was not caused by crustal movement, what happened?
Looking at the volcano with some dust erupting, Yuan Dawu felt a little confused.
"I feel like I should go there and take a look..."
