Gunpowder, titanium alloys, and an architectural style that cannot be matched by any other country.
When these things appeared in Zhou Li's eyes, he already had an almost realistic guess. This guess was bold, but it fit all the clues or clues he had found.
grave.
So, whose grave is it?
"Can't open."
After a while of operations, Tiya walked up to Zhou Li and shook her head with a solemn expression, "This material is extremely resistant to magic, and our abilities have no effect at all. If we want to blow it up, we have to blow up dozens of pieces of it." The ground inside will explode and collapse together, otherwise it will be impossible to blast out a hole that can allow people to pass through."
"I know."
What worried Tiya was that Zhou Li's answer was not that I know, but that I know, as if he had expected this situation. And she also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Zhou Li's state ever since he saw this giant door that looked like a miracle. It seemed like he was in a trance.
Without too many words, Zhou Li walked straight towards this giant door that did not belong to this world. When he stood under the giant door, the suffocating feeling caused by the huge thing had dissipated. Instead, there is a kind of spiritual intimacy.
Is it you?
Stretching out his hand, his palm gently touched the cold metal. Zhou Li closed his eyes and did not use his professional abilities or release the so-called soul power. He touched the door like an ordinary human being.
No, not just humans.
"survivor."
Ruyouruowu's sigh seemed to resound in Zhou Li's mind, and soon, accompanied by everyone's exclamations, the giant door slowly opened to both sides. Zhou Li's hand fell into the empty space. He did not move, but quietly waited for the door to open completely.
Soon, the door opened.
"This is."
When the miraculous door opened, the expected underground city did not appear in front of everyone. In the vast and endless darkness, there were only countless weak fireflies flickering silently.
The night is a dead night, desolate and quiet. The flickering of fireflies did not give him any life, leaving only an even more desolate atmosphere. Like a dead star lighting up the last candle in the dark night, it lost its life but left traces.
There would be no light in the night except for the stars. The land shrouded in black swallowed up all external light sources, leaving only the faint fluorescence in everyone's eyes. When the door to the starry sky is opened, the stars seem to be staring at the world outside the door, but in those eyes without any emotion, there is only silent silence.
It should obviously be a combination of black and light, and it should obviously have a bright band of light. However, in Zhou Li's eyes, these traces drawn on the black curtain were not the remnants of fire in the long night, but tombstones with lanterns hung one after another.
Zhou Li stretched out his hand and stopped everyone. His eyes lost their look and brightness, leaving only a fluorescent darkness. Everyone was shocked by his sudden solemnity. Only Eluma walked to his side and held his hand.
It seemed that the familiar softness and temperature recalled Zhou Li's soul, and the spirit that had been gradually swallowed up by the tombstone galaxy gradually returned to the body. Soon, huge sadness spread in Zhou Li's heart, and tears that had covered the two worlds streaked down his cheeks.
Not pain, not empathy. This is the empty sadness in the heart of an ordinary ordinary person when facing a grave of his own race.
"This is a tombstone."
After a long time, Zhou Li spoke. His voice was no longer playful and relaxed like before, but had a solemn depth, "a tombstone of civilization."
Everyone held their breath and stared quietly at the boundless starry sky.
Holding Eluma's arm, there were no words or communication. Under the gaze of everyone, the two slowly walked into the starry sky.
[A-1-1-1 Civilization Remains Preservation System has been awakened]
[A-1-1-1 civilization survivor detected]
[Confirmed that the survivors of the A-1-1-1 civilization are currently the highest level witnesses of the remains, and all system permissions will be transferred]
[Please witness the traces we have left]
In the darkness, a mechanical voice broke the silence. At the same time, the door slowly closed.
Zhou Li made a gesture behind him so that everyone should not panic. Soon, the door closed, and only Zhou Li and Eluma were left in this empty and lonely tombstone galaxy.
[Save system permission has been transferred]
"Tell me about it."
Zhou Li felt his voice was a little hoarse, perhaps it was an illusion. He just stared at the darkness in front of him and said, "Tell me, what exactly is this place."
[This is a grave, witness]
"Whose grave."
Although he already had the answer in his heart, Zhou Li still asked. He wants to know the truth, the truth he deserves.
【Humanity】
[Humans belonging to the A-1-1-1 civilization]
[In your language, we call these humans, Earthlings]
"Why."
Zhou Li's hand exerted force slightly, and Eluma just put a drop of cool water in her hand. The coolness of this moment calmed down Zhou Li, who was originally in a state of mind. He raised his head and asked the invisible existence: "Why on earth would a grave appear here? Why on earth did your creator become extinct?"
[The answer my creator left for me is]
[This is not extinction, this is compromise]
[Humans of A-1-1-1 civilization do not belong to this world]
Zhou Li knew that this voice was right. Humans on Earth are not of this world. In fact, Zhou Li was vaguely aware of this as early as his last life. The reason is very simple. There are many substances in this world that are not found on the earth. In the same way, there are many things on the earth that are not found in this world. Such as titanium alloy, such as gunpowder.
Therefore, Zhou Li once found a scientist and asked him about the nature of the world. After getting a series of information related to the gods, Zhou Li chose to give up. Because scientists in this world will always attribute the essence of affairs to gods. And for them, this is also a habit engraved in their bones.
But now, the questions that Zhou Li had buried in his heart for decades were answered.
[There is no oxygen in the air of this world]
"call."
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Li felt a sense of suffocation. Only then did he realize that he had not breathed since he came here. It was Eluma who was always beside him, urging the water element to provide him with "air".
The air of this world.
[After coming to this world, a large number of creators died from lack of oxygen. Later, after research, they found that the air in this world did not contain oxygen, but instead contained an element called "entropy". To provide the most basic survival supplies for the creatures in this world]
"Come to this world?"
Zhou Li noticed something noteworthy in the voice's words and quickly asked: "You said they came to this world? How did they travel to this world?"
[Keyword detected, creator description extracted]
[The following is the record of the creator]
[Recorded by Zhou Changan, Eastern Third Antarctic Scientific Expedition Team, at 12:12 on October 1, 2022]
[Unfortunately, while crossing the A-1-1-1 glacier, we encountered a once-in-a-century blizzard. This blizzard moved the surrounding glaciers and we completely lost our course. According to the captain’s description, all electronic equipment on the entire scientific research ship was destroyed by the snowstorm, and we lost the opportunity to contact the outside world]
[Engineer Han Jin told us that the chance of repairing the hull ourselves is as good as the chance of seeing the Chinese team win the World Cup when we get home. Han Jin is always like this, always making the most inappropriate jokes at the most inappropriate times. Doesn't he know I'm a loyal football fan? Although I am a table tennis fan. 】
[Haha, it seems my joke is quite inappropriate]
[Bad news comes one after another, our resource cabin leaked, and more than half of the fresh water and supplies were salted]
[The only thing we are thankful for is that we carry this thickened and enlarged version of the advanced black box. I was very happy. Before we set off, we had a little more money, so I could splurge on it. I upgraded the black box as soon as I got excited. I think there is only one black box in the world that can withstand blizzards and deep sea pressure. I am really lucky]
[Next, I will record this snowstorm. I hope my records can bring experience and lessons to those who come after me, and one day in the future, they can conquer this world of ice and snow by stepping on the bridge we built]
[Record of Zhou Changan at 22:12 on November 10, 2022]
[To be honest, is it a bit too arrogant for me to use a black box worth millions to write a diary? Of course, I have saved the specific observation values and other data in the strongest part of the black box. The memory occupied by my diary writing is not even one ten thousandth of that data, so it should not affect the preservation of the data]
[Our condition is very bad now, I haven't eaten anything for a day. The guy from Hanjin found the fishing rod left by the previous scientific expedition team and fed all the remaining cheese from his international friends to the fish. It made me contribute today's rations with him, even though I only fed him six taels of cheese. 】
[There is good news, after a whole month of blizzards that made my scalp numb, the blizzards seem to have stopped, which is why we can fish]
[Note, the above sentence is a bad sentence, good children should not learn it]
[Wait a minute, there seems to be a monkey barking outside, I'll go take a look]
[You can’t believe what we saw! The aurora growing on the sea, no, it is a gap covered with aurora! We saw another world, another world with living beings]
[There is an ocean current. The ocean current has trapped us. No, the ocean current seems to be pushing us in the direction of the aurora! 】
[Records of Zhou Changan]
[This world is not the earth, or even the universe]
[Here, there is no sun, no moon, and no stars]
[The sky is transparent, like glass, and also like a screen with regular light. The water here is highly toxic, and there is no oxygen in the air. But fortunately, the trees here are flammable. We obtained wood on the shore. Allow the oxygen concentrator to be used]
[This is a world that is completely, completely unrelated to the earth. All our compasses and north needles have failed, and all the instruments used to confirm position coordinates have failed. The magnetic field of this world seems to be completely incomprehensible and we cannot observe it]
[I named this world Gaia]
[Haha, it’s not that Gaia, it’s Gaia]
【My damn sense of humor】
[Han Jin is dead. When he first came to this world, he was the first to discover that there was no oxygen in the air in this world. He rushed to the oxygen concentrator and pulled the switch. Because the pipe was blocked, he climbed in In the cabin, there is no oxygen]
[There were many casualties on the ship. The air took away nearly half of the people's lives. The highly toxic water also killed many people. The only good thing is that there are fish in the sea in this world that we can eat. The water can be eaten through triple filtration. For direct drinking】
[We decided to survive. The power of this black box has begun to decrease. The most important thing is that the air in this world seems to corrode the battery pack. I have to seal it.]
[Next, we will find the nearest continent and dock. The diving suits and oxygen devices can already provide everyone on board with free movement. We will burn the remains of the deceased into ashes and store them in the Dongfang-3 scientific research vessel. Perhaps one day, their remains can return to their hometown. 】
[Perhaps this world is very unfriendly to us. The water is highly toxic and the air is unbreathable. However, we are a scientific expedition team, the third scientific expedition team in the East, and we are the pioneers who survived the extreme snowstorm and came to the new world]
[I collected many elements of this world and saved their data in this black box. If, I mean if, one day this black box happens to fall into that gap, and the gap happens to be connected to the earth, and the black box happens to be returned to human hands, then please witness that the Third Eastern Scientific Research Group, Exposed to the new world]
[Next, there will be a new era that belongs to us. We still remember the Gregorian calendar and our home called the Earth. However, we must take a new step]
[Now, it is 0001, January 1, 0:01]
[Eastern Third Antarctic Scientific Expedition Team, captain Zhou Changan, record]
[Greetings to the witnesses]
This is a record, a piece of paper filled with data, and an anticipated suicide note.
Zhou Li silently looked at the words that appeared in front of him and the black box floating in mid-air. Obviously, the members of the scientific expedition team on that ship have developed their own technology in this world. That giant titanium alloy door, which is comparable to a miracle, cannot be forged by an ordinary scientific expedition team.
Apparently they overcame the poisonous water and the unbreathable air. They found the continent and stood on the land, starting a new era as humans on earth.
However, what appeared in front of Zhou Li now was a group of tombstones.
That black box still became a suicide note.
