Chapter 21 The Vitrified Planet

  After being surprised, what filled Lu Yu's mind was ecstasy!

   Unimaginable ecstasy!

  Although I found it a little embarrassing to fight wits and bravery with the air before, the happiness that was hit by the big pie has been washed away completely

   There have been many discussions on how to obtain advanced technology and various cutting-edge theories from this civilization. Now there is no need to worry about these. Looking around, everything in the ruins of this civilization is left to Lu Yu to ask for!

  Lu Yu didn't even have time to share the news with Lan Xing. He quickly looked at the mission options in front of him again and carefully confirmed the information revealed in the mission.

  This time there are only two mission options, one is C-level rewards and the other is S-level rewards.

  The last mission was about the explosion of a supernova, and the highest level was the A-level reward, but this time there was an S-level reward?

   You know, the Silver Star is just an S rank.

  Lu Yu didn't know how to do it, and he didn't dare to choose task two, but he might as well frown and think about the information revealed in task two.

   Freezing and collecting a supernova that has reached a critical state is an A-level reward, and recovering something on this planet can give an S-level reward?

   What would this thing be? Is it even more valuable than a supernova? Or is it more difficult and more dangerous? Will it affect the Silver Star, which is also an S-rank, to jump away?

   This kind of worry only lasted for a moment. Lu Yu knew that the opportunities here were countless times higher than those of life planets, and it was impossible for him to be scared away by a simple reminder.

  【The host chooses to receive task one. 】

   Lu Yu, who knew what he should choose, directly took on task one.

  Host: Lu Yu

   Points: 25

  Mission: 【The Story of Civilization】

  Currently own black technology products: 【Silver Star】【Lunch Box】【Space Suit】

  Looking at the information on the personal panel, Lu Yu had an inexplicable premonition that he might reap richer rewards from this mission than he imagined.

  ………

  Whether the spaceship wreckage area is flashing electric lights and colorful high-energy light beams, Lu Yu and his external brains unanimously decided to put the spaceship wreckage area on hold for the time being, and headed for the seemingly safer space elevator.

   Observed from a close distance, the space elevator is not simply a pillar supporting the sky. There are circles of huge rings as layers of support. The silver material is used as an internal and external barrier between the rings, and at the same time a city is built on the rings.

  The silver material is extremely strong, and there is no entrance at the bottom of the space elevator.

   Fortunately, Lu Yu could drive the Silver Star into the interior of the space elevator from a damaged place at a very high position, and planned to explore the ring city first.

   "I want to climb up step by step, waiting for the sun to watch quietly..."

  Lu Yu hummed the lyrics, and controlled the silver star to crawl like a snail on the outer material of the space elevator.

   But as the altitude got higher and higher, when the outline of the entire desert gradually became clear, Lu Yu couldn't help being horrified by the situation of the planet outside the desert.

Looking from where we are, the entire planet is covered in gray, black and red, and everything on its surface is scorched, and a sand wall formed by dust in the far distance is like a cloud that is about to cover the entire planet. sandstorm.

   Such weather can no longer shake Lu Yu's heart, after all, he has witnessed a world-shattering earthquake not long ago.

  The only thing that frightened him was under the sandstorm, there was only ash and obsidian-like substances.

  The planet is vitrified!

   Inexplicably flashing this term, Lu Yu immediately stopped the Silver Star, and just stopped on the outer wall of the space elevator to inspect the situation of the entire planet.

   "It really looks like the entire surface of the planet has been melted by high temperature. This is... too crazy? I don't even want to give life to the living things on this planet!"

   "I have a hunch that this civilization not only serves as an important reference for our technology, but its experience will also become an important reference for human society to the universe and the future."

After repeated confirmation by many experts, it is preliminarily determined that this planet has indeed been vitrified, and the original ecology, atmosphere, and liquid water have all dissipated. .

   Of course, vitrification doesn't make the entire planet smooth like glass, but instead becomes crystals where most of the material melts into charred black. Then it takes a long time to cool down, and then it is weathered and polished into sand grains through the years.

  Vitrified planets with complete atmospheres often experience extreme weather phenomena—that is, huge storms, which is why such large-scale dust storms are formed.

The desert plain centered on the space elevator was the only place Lu Yu observed that was not vitrified. There were also a few scorched black columns that towered into the sky in the far distance, but they only reached into the sky, and they were no longer there. If it goes on, it may be the ruins of the space elevator that has broken and collapsed.

   Even the planet that gave birth to civilization has been destroyed in this way, and the ecology of the entire planet has been wiped out.

   Star Wars?

   Civil War?

   Or alien invasion?

   All these may be buried in the ruins of civilization waiting for Lu Yu to explore, but at the moment he is deeply immersed in the shock, and has no idea of ​​his real situation.

  The deep darkness of the universe contains not only miracles, but also deep cruelty.

  If Lu Yu's field of vision can continue to extend at this time, jumping out of the shackles of this planet, then he will find that on the side of the satellite facing away from the planet, a metal honeycomb in the center of a crater is shining with a frightening red light.

   Around it, a space base located on a satellite was completely destroyed, and its wreckage was even melted into strange-shaped metal blocks.

The fifth planet in this star system is a huge gaseous planet. There are disintegrated space cities in its orbit. Metal debris is scattered like asteroids. A spherical spaceship the size of the moon is running over these without restraint. The orbit where the space city used to be.

  The system prompts that the civilization on the planet where Lu Yu is located has perished, so what are these?

  PS: The scientific and technological level of this extinct civilization is almost the same as the technological level before and after the human broadcasting era in "Three-Body Problem".

  Planet vitrification, refer to Halo and Ender's Game
