Chapter 22 The real treasure

   "If it's a civilized civil war, then they won't perish if their rationality evaporates until they wipe out their home planet."

   "There are as many as 18 space elevators that we can observe. If they are in operation, they can send massive material resources to space every day!"

"It can be inferred that they have established permanent bases in low-earth orbit and satellites, and even have space cities on other planets in this star system. Even if they are so frantic that they vitrify their parent star, civilization can continue in the universe. right!"

"But the system announced that this civilization is dead. Although we still don't know what the mechanism of this black technology realization system is, it can even accurately predict the time of supernova explosion. From this point of view, I think it gives The hint is likely to be true."

   "This text is definitely dead. Compared with the theory of civil war, the speculations discussed by our group are more inclined to the theory of alien civilization invasion or the theory of omnipotent crisis."

  During the meeting at the secret base, seven or eight top professors gathered together with red faces and spoke to Lu Yu

  The previous professor had just finished speaking, and another professor immediately raised objections: "Lao Yang, there is something wrong with your assertion! Our group has been..."

  During the intense discussion, the participating experts were extremely immersed, but Professor Mao, who presided over the meeting, rubbed his brows and let out a happy sigh.

  Ever since he recognized the Zhu Rong in front of Lu Yu in the cafeteria, he immediately returned to the front line and became one of the members of the expert team for docking with Lu Yu.

   After that, he felt like he was living a fantastic life every day.

  Science begins with observation, but now it is too difficult to find new objective laws by observation on the Blue Star Science Building. Otherwise, high-energy physics will not remain in the predicament of dark clouds after the particle collider is built.

   But if we look at the universe, human beings can only look at the blue star. Whenever they claim to have found the boundary of the universe, what is the difference between them and the frog at the bottom of the well?

  But the appearance of Lu Yu made all this fundamentally changed. Following his vision to gaze at the universe, I no longer know how many surprises it has brought to Professor Mao

  The previous supernova exploded, and a living planet was born, but now it is a civilization that is more advanced than human beings, but it is dying.

  These are phenomena that cannot be observed on Blue Star. How many valuable observation samples can Blue Star Science get from them?

  Professor Mao can no longer predict it, but he understands that starting from the live broadcast of supernova explosions, the global scientific community will usher in brand-new changes brought by Lu Yu.

   For this reason, he even gave up smoking for decades, only wishing that he could live a few more years and see more about the journey Lu Yu will travel.

  Because every step Lu Yu takes in the universe is a miracle of Blue Star Science.

  ……..

  When the seminar was analyzing the current situation for Lu Yu, the Silver Star he was driving finally turned over the outer layer, and peeked into the interior of the space elevator from the huge gap.

   It's not that Lu Yu doesn't care about his situation, but no matter what the experts guessed, he knows that he must seize the time.

  In case he had to jump away like he was on a living planet, at least he had to find enough valuable technology from here, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of the double point reward for the mission?

   The huge gap where the Silver Star stays is exactly in the middle of the two rings, and the ring city built around the inner core can be clearly observed below.

  It is based on silver-gray, and it is made of metal or other materials. Even if you are in a high altitude that cannot be affected by sandstorms, you can still see tall buildings in the city.

   Possess the technology to build a space elevator, so it seems to have full confidence in material technology.

   Continue to drive the short-legged silver star, ready to go into the city in front of you to look for opportunities.

  Books are the first target!

  It not only carries knowledge, but also the written language of this extinct civilization. As long as he can decipher the written language, Lu Yu will hold the key to the treasure.

  Because of the occlusion of the shell material, most of the dead ring city was in darkness, but there were a few buildings that kept their lights on, which seemed particularly dazzling to Lu Yu.

  The silver stars shuttled through the empty streets and found nothing, no books, no corpses, and almost no decorative patterns and lines. Minimalism seems to be the style of this city.

   Between venturing out of the cockpit to explore the building, or trying his luck in a conspicuously bright place, Lu Yu decisively chose the latter

  Only in the Silver Star, he is in an absolutely safe state, and he can choose calmly whether he advances or retreats.

   Without any obstacles, they reached the first bright building very smoothly. This is the area near the edge of the ring city. The open building structure group allows Lu Yu to easily enter it.

  The reason why the light source can still be maintained here seems to be that there is an internal circulation energy circuit, which is not the same system as the energy supply system of the ring city. In the darkness of the outside world, there is still a bright light source here.

  Lu Yu wanted to find some machinery through wires, and then used the method of reverse restoration to spy on the technology of this civilization.

   But the lines are almost all hidden in solid materials. He observed the city for a long time but did not find the so-called wires and power outlets. It is difficult to find a larger gap in the integrated construction that is natural.

   I am afraid that the rapid development of wireless charging technology has spread to all industries.

  Other things in the building quickly attracted Lu Yu's attention. Yellow and orange metal ingots with a height of more than ten meters were neatly piled up in a 100-meter square.

   "This can't be gold, can it?"

   "There are so many, tens of thousands of tons, right?"

  Although he didn't leave the cockpit, Lu Yu still recognized the precious metal that represented wealth in human history on Blue Star at a glance.

  Gold glistens under the light, creating an intoxicating golden color.

  If the gold can be transported back to Blue Star, then Lu Yu will immediately become the richest man. If it is put into the market at one time, it may have an impact on the entire human financial system.

  In addition to gold, there are also hundreds of metal ingots of different varieties piled up, it seems that this is a metal storage warehouse.

The metal content in the planet’s crust is thousands of times richer than that on the surface. The technology of this civilization has been so many years more advanced than that of Blue Star. It is not surprising that it can mine all kinds of metals buried deep underground. Otherwise, think about a spaceship that is more than ten kilometers long. What is the concept of the amount of metal required?

  But among the treasures for the entire civilization, these so-called precious metals may not be as valuable to Lu Yu as finding a book.

  So apart from the initial astonishment, Lu Yu didn't have any nostalgia. He didn't put on a space suit to touch the gold that would make him the richest man in mankind. He directly controlled the silver star to turn around and leave.

  Technology is the most brilliant treasure of a civilization, not these elemental metals that can be seen everywhere in the universe.

  Relying on the guidance of the dim light, Lu Yu quickly came to the next building that could still maintain the light.

  This place is more spacious than a metal warehouse, but more importantly, the technology here seems to be lagging behind compared to the ring city.

  Lu Yu's hard-earned text prompts the metal plate, and wires and lines abound here, as if the buildings in the light and the dark and silent city are in a completely different era of technology.

  The Silver Star sailed into it, and the first thing I saw was a reminder board marked with alien characters. Next to the reminder board was a set of large machinery placed on a large trapezoidal metal platform.

   It looks like a ring-shaped device. Maybe this set of machinery has extraordinary significance to this building. Lu Yu saw it at first sight when he entered from the entrance.

   Lu Yu took a second look, roughly recorded the appearance of this set of machinery and the text of the prompt, and prepared to go inside the building.

   After all, it is necessary to collect more samples of alien characters, so that Blue Star experts can analyze the alien characters as soon as possible.

   Not long after he walked out, Lu Yu in the cockpit looked in surprise at Professor Mao who had been communicating with him, but was squeezed out of the video range by a professor who broke in suddenly.

   This is the first time.

  I saw the excited face of the professor who squeezed away Professor Mao, and the avatar in the video was a rare treasure discovered.

   "Don't go away....BACK BACK! BACK BACK!"

Lu Yu turned around and returned to the ring device in doubt. The strange professor who appeared suddenly seemed to squeeze himself into the screen, stared at the ring device carefully for a while, and then said tremblingly: "Sure enough. ! This looks very much like a tokamak.”

   "My God! This is really possible... a nuclear fusion reactor device of an alien civilization!"
