"This place reminds me of the underground building in the Asheli Forest. Although there are many differences in style between the two, they both look so majestic and huge. Even the underground city of the Church of the Hill King cannot compare!" Hill

After entering Lanxi City, Wea couldn't help but look around and sighed.

As the main material transportation channel of the spacecraft, because the transport spacecraft needs to be directly entered for docking, the internal space area here is definitely the largest space in the entire Prometheus. Although in order to be suitable for human habitation, the interior has undergone large-scale renovations.

Although it has been renovated, you can still judge what it looked like originally from the main structure here.

The top thirty floors are the docking decks for various types of spacecraft, and each deck can accommodate at least twenty of the largest transport spaceships in the old Earth era at that time.

The thirty floors in the middle are the main dispatching platform. All transported materials are dispatched from here to various areas of the spacecraft. Therefore, this is the starting point of the main road inside the spacecraft.

As for the lower thirty floors, it is the stopping point for the ground material transport troops of the spacecraft. It should initially be used to park land combat vehicles, asteroid mineral mining spacecraft, etc.

Now these platforms have all been transformed into rooms, and some rooms have even been transformed directly on the basis of docked spaceships, such as the tax collector's office where Leo and Sylvia applied for temporary residence permits after entering the city.

The main body was transformed from the storage cabin of a large mining excavator. Leo even saw the imprinted number of the storage cabin next to the entrance.

Leo noticed that the main part of the transformation of all the space buildings he saw in front of him was a transformation with a very high craftsmanship and technological content. During the transformation, the reformers dismantled a large number of existing equipment and parts, and made these equipment parts perfect.

It has been used in the renovation of various rooms and buildings to add additional functions to these buildings. However, how to use these functions has been forgotten by the locals of Lanxi, or has been lost.

It can be seen that the first people to modify the Prometheus are definitely the people who know the spaceship best, and these people have mastered the technology related to all the equipment of the spacecraft. It is not difficult to guess

Who completed the core modification project of this spacecraft, and subsequent modifiers only added some decorative or protective things, and did not touch the most basic core modification.

Leo could imagine the situation of the Prometheus at that time. This spaceship, which carried the hope of the old earth era, fell into the black forest for unknown reasons and could never leave here.

This inability to leave is not necessarily because their movements are restricted, but because the Prometheus was built in space, and its huge shape was destined to be unable to take off on the ground with the technology of the old Earth era.

It is said that as long as it lands on the ground, its engine power will no longer be able to transport such a huge brood spacecraft into gravity-free space.

And even if it can fly, in a special environment like the Black Forest, it is not certain whether the place they flew out of is the universe. Maybe the universe above is actually subspace. In that case, there is no subspace.

The Prometheus, which is equipped with protective equipment, will inevitably be swallowed by the subspace.

At that time, the humans on the Prometheus already knew that they were destined to be unable to leave, so they naturally thought of settling here. However, the Prometheus, which was originally used for exploration and collection, was not a suitable living environment, so the transformation of the spacecraft

It is inevitable.

"So the Lanxi people are the descendants of those people on Earth?" Leo observed the surrounding environment and told Sylvia what he thought and analyzed. After hearing this, Sylvia thought of those days.

Based on the information obtained from a traveling businessman, I speculated.

"Yeah! It's very possible." Leo nodded, and then added: "It's very possible that the humans in the Velen world are also part of the Lanxi people. Don't forget, the humans in the Black Forest tribe are part of the Velen world.

The origin of human beings is already a recognized fact, and where did the humans of the Black Forest tribe come from?" As he said that, Leo thought of the Earth Federation battleship he had discovered before, and he paused before continuing:

"It's possible that some of it comes from other humans in the starry sky, but more likely it comes from Lan Xi who has taken root in the Black Forest."

"It is indeed possible." Sylvia also nodded, agreeing with Leo's statement.

Leo added: "The name Lanxi is very interesting. We heard the name Lanxi before and thought that this name was passed here by people from the first and second dynasties of the French Empire. But if we think about it the other way around,

If so, the founders of the first and second dynasties of the French Empire all came from here. After they established the empire, they named the capital of their empire Lanxi, which makes sense."

Sylvia was silent for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "Although there is no evidence to prove your inference yet, I think this inference is probably true. Not long ago, the United Kingdom conducted an inspection of the ancient ruins of Lanxi.

After some archaeological excavations, a narrative stone slab that should belong to the early Second Dynasty was found at the excavation site. There was a fragmentary poem carved on it. According to the kingdom’s archaeologists, it was inferred that this poem was probably written by King Sun, the pioneer of the Second Dynasty.

The poems of Ra I, because Dara I was called the King of Poetry, his poems were extremely popular at that time, and many of them have been handed down. You can analyze whether they were written by the same person based on the grammar and wording of the writing.

Lanxi was mentioned in that verse. He called Lanxi the city of the world, the city of glory, the city of miracles that even the gods marveled at. According to the location where the stone tablet was unearthed, the Sun King wrote this sentence at that time

At the time of the poem, the city of Lanxi was being rebuilt after the war. This stone slab was buried underground as a foundation. Naturally, the so-called city of miracles did not exist. But now it seems that the city of miracles mentioned by the Sun King at that time was

The city may be the Lanxi city we are in now."

When studying the history of the French Empire, Leo also read all the information related to the pioneers of the three major dynasties of the French Empire, and naturally recorded the poems handed down by this king of poetry.

Because there was no association with it before, Leo always regarded those poems as at least a kind of literature, but now that it is connected with Lanxi City, among those poems that originally had no special meaning,

Be able to taste some hidden meanings.

Nearly one-third of the Sun King's numerous poems are in praise of Lanxi City. In the eyes of scholars studying the world of Velen, these poems praising Lanxi City are actually the Sun King praising himself and his own greatness.

But if you analyze it carefully, you will find that the description of Lanxi City in these poems is almost consistent with the current Prometheus. Obviously, the Sun King is not a metaphor at all, but a real praise of Lanxi City.

"Should we find a place to stay first and stay here for a few days?" Sylvia also became interested in Lanxi City at this moment and suggested.

After hearing this, Leo thought for a while and felt that Bailu's side should not be short of these days, and he also wanted to get some useful information from the Prometheus, so he nodded and agreed with Sylvie

Asia's proposal.

The two of them had a lot of money. They did not choose the lower-floor hotel that would be chosen by outsiders who had just arrived in Lanxi City. Instead, they found a high-end hotel on the 47th floor specially prepared for foreign dignitaries. After opening a road with Jinsa, they obtained

After obtaining a certificate from a nobleman, Leo chose a room on the inside instead of facing the middle courtyard, and planned to stay here temporarily for a few days.

Leo did not choose this room randomly. He chose this room entirely to prepare for his future exploration of the Prometheus, because according to the architectural drawings of the Prometheus in his mind, behind a wall in this room should be

There is an emergency exit.

This emergency passage can directly lead to the secondary power cabin next to the material transport cabin. There should be a computer that can be connected to the spacecraft host computer in the secondary power cabin. As long as the spacecraft host computer is connected, you can use the host computer

The retrieval program can help you understand the current situation of the spacecraft, and you can also access the spacecraft’s flight records and other information.

However, the only question that bothers Leo now is whether the computer control manuals and other information from the old Earth era that were sent to his mind along with the Prometheus information can be used. And the computer host on the spacecraft has gone through so much

Whether it can still be used after many years, after all, the computer host in the old earth era does not have a strong enough protective coating for electronic equipment. Let alone tens of thousands of years, it may not be able to be preserved even if it is hundreds of years old.

After entering the room, Leo easily found the emergency passage marked on the structural drawing. However, that passage was blocked by a wall panel, but you could still hear slightly different sounds inside by tapping on the wall.

sound.

"Another secret passage?" After seeing Leo enter the room, Sylvia knocked along several walls, and then heard a slightly different sound from behind a wall.

, and immediately understood what Leo was doing.

"There should be a passage behind this." Leo explained.

Because Leo had already demonstrated his ability to find secret passages in the Seventh Research Institute before, Sylvia was a little surprised now. Then she walked to the wall and knocked on the wall, saying:

"If you want to enter the secret passage, this wall must be demolished, but if you demolish it like this, someone will definitely find it."

"It doesn't have to be demolished." Leo shook his head and said, "Behind this wall should be the entrance and exit of that passage. The main structure of this hotel was built by the people of the Prometheus, so they built it

At that time, there must have been something like a switch that could easily move the wall."

As he spoke, Leo carefully searched around the walls and throughout the room.

He really wanted to use the mental network to explore this place, so that he could easily discover all the secrets in this room. But when he had this idea, his intuition told him that it was dangerous, and in the end he chose to trust his intuition.

Even if his reason now determines that there are no traces of extraordinary power here, and there are no Omega-level advanced life forms monitoring this place.

"Found it!" After careful inspection, Leo quickly found a hidden compartment in a corner of the wall. An ordinary iron buckle locked the secret compartment. After he opened the iron buckle, he found a circle inside the hidden compartment.

ring switch.

After thinking for a moment, Leo tried to turn the ring switch. After turning it twice, Leo felt a weak resistance coming from the ring, and he also heard an extremely weak sound from the wall.

There was a mechanical linkage sound, and a small gap was slightly cracked in the wall over there.

Seeing this, Leo turned the ring switch back a few times to restore everything to its original state.

"It seems that the designer of this room has also considered how to open the emergency exit when there is no energy." Leo patted the dust on his body and said to Sylvia.

"I think this approach is a bit unnecessary," Sylvia had a different view, saying: "If the situation here really reaches the point where you need to open the entrance by hand, then the situation here is probably extremely bad. Then

It doesn’t matter whether the passage can be entered or not.”

Regarding Sylvia's opinion, Leo was noncommittal, restored the hidden grid, and tidied it up a little so that no one could see that there was a gap in the wall just now.

The two stayed in the room for a while, then went to the hotel restaurant and ordered some food.

Although from the appearance of the food, except for the different raw materials, the food here is not much different from the food in Velen, Leo and Sylvia still try carefully when eating. After all, the Black Forest and the outside environment

It's completely different. Seemingly harmless food may be fatal if eaten by people in the Velen world.

Fortunately, both Leo and Sylvia's bodies were extraordinary. Although they ate some food that was not suitable for humans in the Velen world, it did not put any burden on their bodies.

After eating, Leo and Sylvia decided to follow the instructions in the brochure and go to the nearest Lanxi History Museum.

However, just when they left the hotel, a female voice without any emotion and completely mechanical came from the entire material dispatching cabin. The language the female voice spoke was the language of the old earth era, and the content was to tell the time.

Judging from the attitude of the people around them who have become accustomed to this kind of sound, this female voice should be the time reporting sound of the timing computer on the Prometheus, and the content of this voice is very attractive to Leo, because the time reported by the female voice is
