Jiang Bai tried to turn the joystick next to him, and the view of the screen also turned.
"There's going to be a sandstorm outside." Aite said suddenly.
Sure enough, after a while, the sand and dust quickly blocked the entire field of vision.
"It's quite safe here. It's not affected by sandstorms at all."
If one could get in here, there might be many Sand People building tribes here.
Although there is no food or water, it is safe and well covered.
The sandstorm lasted for more than ten minutes and stopped. Standing in front of the operating table, Hu Tao was eager to try.
"How to control it?"
After opening the drawings and comparing them for a while, Is pointed out a few buttons.
"This should be the activation of the machine. This gear lever controls walking. If you turn it to the left, you will go left, if you turn it right, you will go right..."
He was not sure, after all, it was just an inference and he had never actually driven it.
But in general, it doesn't matter if you press the wrong button. The ruins guard is equipped with many intelligent systems, such as automatic navigation, automatic enemy detection...
Hu Tao started the machine as he said, and the huge machine vibrated. He stood up from the yellow sand and moved his body that had not moved for five hundred years. Yellow sand fell from the gap.
Several people quickly grabbed the guardrail to avoid falling due to the sudden movement.
"Wow! It's really moving!"
Walnut has the novelty of manipulating large toys.
"We currently don't know how long the energy here can last. To be on the safe side, it's best not to go too far."
Is was also very excited about actually controlling this ruin guard, which meant that half of their mission had been completed.
The remaining half is to study the structure of the entire ruins guard.
Looking at the Dama Mountain that had become shorter on the screen, Jiang Bai suddenly asked: "Can you use this ruin guard to enter the center of the Dama Mountain storm?"
"Don't think about it. We fools have also studied the eye of the storm. We can't get in by driving the ruins guard." Is made a big cross on his chest.
After most of the day, he also saw that this group of people had not studied the ruins guard at all. They were completely interested and wanted to come in and play.
In this way, it would not conflict with their mission at all, and he was happy to let them play with it, but only if no damage was caused to the machine body.
"Is there anything special there?"
"According to our speculation, that should be the location of the Sky Nail that turned the entire Meru into a desert."
Jiang Bai heard another very exciting news.
Sumeru was not actually a desert at the beginning, but a nail from the sky descended and turned the entire Sumeru into a desert.
Although he has not been to the entire Sumeru, Jiang Bai feels that the area of the rainforest is no smaller than Mondstadt. Adding in the desert, the area of Sumiru is estimated to be the combined area of Liyue and Mondstadt.
Was such a large area of desert actually created by using sky nails?
The two sky nails he has seen so far have had a huge impact on the terrain. Longji Snow Mountain has directly transformed from a place where spring is like all year round to a snow country, and the layered rock abyss has turned the surrounding area into a mineral deposit, creating a huge underground space. .
But it is far less powerful than Xumi and the nails.
But maybe it's not the power of the nails, but the earth's veins.
The Longji Snow Mountain became a snow mountain because the silver-white ancient trees were destroyed, and the disorder of the earth's veins caused climate abnormalities.
So, does Dama Mountain also have such an ancient silver tree?
An unprecedentedly huge silver-white ancient tree that affects the entire Xumi territory.
After guessing this, Jiang Bai wanted to go inside even more.
Perhaps the reason why Tianli is obsessed with destroying the silver-white ancient tree can be found there.
It was also the first time for Aite to hear this statement. While he was shocked, he felt very ridiculous.
You must know that a very long time ago, when there were three demon gods in Xumi, this place was a desert.
Further back in time, when was that?
Most of the sand people's tribal history records are no more than a few hundred years old, and they are much further than what can be passed down through word of mouth.
Except for large tribes like the Tanit tribe, people from small tribes like them have no idea about their ancestors.
Therefore, this time span beyond the scope of cognition made him feel particularly unreal.
"So, are the never-ending sandstorms there caused by the Sky Nail?" Jiang Bai asked.
"I don't know. It may have been caused by the power of the Flower God when he died. Thousands of years have passed since the Flower God's death, and it is difficult to find records before that..."
As for why the flower god chose to die in such a place, this is also a mystery.
This demon with a special origin is like a huge shadow shrouding the other two demons in Xumi. Its purpose and intention are still a big mystery that puzzles the fools.
"It's a pity that I major in mechanics, not history. Otherwise, I would be very interested in exploring this period of history..."
In Xumi, which does not pay much attention to historical inheritance, it is too difficult to learn about this kind of long past history.
Aite thought for a while and said:
"The god that the Tanit tribe believes in is the Flower God. They are a very large tribe with a stable knowledge system. If you are curious about the Flower God, you can go there and have a look..."
Jiang Bai wrote down the name of this tribe and planned to visit it if he had the opportunity in the future.
"Speaking of which, Aite, you are also from the Qianhe Sand Land. Why do you believe in the Red King?"
"Both the Flower God and the Red King have long since passed away. For me, they are just a kind of sustenance. In my early years, I left Bu Qianhe to wander around in the sand. After hearing about the Golden Dream, I gradually became a believer. The Red King..."
"Golden Dreamland?"
"According to legend, it was the utopia created by the Red King. There was no hatred, no bitter salt water, only endless sweet springs. Everything there was good, and there was eternal peace, which all the sands dream of. Homecoming..."
"Does the Golden Dream Really exist?" Jiang Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that this legend was not true.
"Don't know, but I hope it exists."
Yis listened and said, "It sounds a bit like the [Eternal Oasis] that the Tanit tribe longs for."
"Eternal Oasis?"
"I don't know the details. In short, it is a place that the people of the Tanit tribe yearn for. It is a dreamy land created by the legendary Flower God..."
Hu Tao stopped controlling the ruins guard and couldn't help but complain:
"Although it's disrespectful, I still want to say that it's not unreasonable for Little Lucky Grass King to become the only grass god in Sumeru, because the rain forest is real."
Whether it is a golden dream or an eternal oasis, it can be said that it is a comfort in a hard life, and it is an illusory thing.
But rainforests do exist.
