623 Investigating the Reason for the Civilization’s Disappearance
“It’s been hiding such a ring? Let me see!”
Wu Mo took the ring and examined it carefully.
He looked at it over and over again. In the end, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was solemn.
Wu Mo could tell the age of the ring at a glance. It was probably hundreds of years old. It could almost be regarded as a cultural relic.
However, this was only his initial estimate. No one knew exactly how long it had been there. It might even be a lot older than he thought.
“Did someone bring this cultural relic along and accidentally drop it into the flower bed?” Wu Mo tried to provide an explanation, but he immediately shook his head and laughed at himself. It seemed too far-fetched.
Humans had yet to produce such a ring a few hundred years ago. At that time, most ornaments were rings made of jade.
This ring was obviously of a more modern style. Despite that, its material and appearance reminded him of items from hundreds of years ago.
The fusion of these two elements was comparable to a collision of time. It allowed Wu Mo’s thoughts to swim rapidly in the sea of possibilities.
A terrifying speculation suddenly rose in his heart.
“Did Eternal Sun once nurture a civilization, but for some reason, that civilization went extinct? Were all traces of it later removed?”
The thought instantly strangled his heart like an invisible claw, and Wu Mo felt a wave of fear.
He smiled lightly and stored the ring in his pocket. He was trying to hide his uneasiness.
“Everyone, I think I dropped this ring,” he said casually.
“Haha. Mr. Wu, there’s nothing to apologize for. Just be more careful in the future. Don’t drop it again!” a national leader replied with a happy smile.
Then, Wu Mo successfully delighted everyone with his cooking.
Wu Mo later went to another room alone and recorded this discovery before he sent it to China’s command center.
China’s command center was shocked when they received the news.
“Mr. Wu speculates that there might be a lost civilization on Eternal Sun. Send a team to investigate this immediately!”
China’s command center quickly took action. A team of experienced archaeologists and geologists soon accepted the mission and boarded a civilian spaceship to Eternal Sun.
The mass production of dark matter had significantly increased the speed of spaceships.
With the support of the extremely sturdy alloy, humans would not be negatively affected when the ship surpassed light speed.
By now, the national leaders’ five-day experience was nearing its end.
“Everyone, we’ve been fishing, tasting delicious food, and admiring the scenery for the past few days. What do you think of the environment here?”
Wu Mo concluded their time there and posed a question.
Everyone expressed their satisfaction and said that life there had been extremely comfortable. It was not much different from life at home.
One of the national leaders even said that he was willing to travel there for a vacation every year.
In the end, Wu Mo arranged for someone to carefully send them back.
The live broadcast came to an end. However, viewers around the world were still curious about life on Eternal Sun.
They still wanted to unravel the mystery. Meanwhile, Wu Mo turned around and started another exploration with the group of experts.
They held a unique meeting in a sealed room and began to discuss how to develop the area.
Wu Mo started by telling them how he found the ring. The archaeologists were so shocked that their expressions changed. They thought that they had heard wrongly at first.
“Mr. Wu, are you joking? Are you sure you’re not describing a fantasy?” several archaeologists asked in confusion.
Wu Mo nodded firmly. “How could I make this up? I’m sure you would feel the same way if you found this ring!”
In an instant, the group of experienced archaeologists appeared gloomy. Their eyes were focused on the ring in Wu Mo’s hand.
Their heartbeats seemed to be intertwined with the pulse of history at this moment.
They had seen how ever-changing history was, but this ring deeply confused them.
They all took out their tools and focused on solving this mystery.
The ring seemed to sit at the border of the past and present. It challenged their understanding.
Its design and style were undoubtedly modern, but there were traces of its old age buried deep underground. It was unbelievable.
“How is this possible? Its existence is a contradiction. I can’t accept that this isn’t a prank!” an archaeologist said. He could not suppress the shock in his heart.
Their brains began to spin wildly as they tried to find a reasonable explanation.
They had a feeling that the ring was hundreds or even thousands of years old. If this conjecture was true, the civilization on Eternal Sun was more advanced than human civilization.
It might be hundreds or even thousands of years ahead since its people already had modern aesthetics and manufacturing technology back then.
However, they had disappeared. Had an alien civilization destroyed them, or had they died on their own?
It was a mystery.
Right then, a group of geological survey experts began to take action.
They had brought professional equipment and tools to conduct a detailed survey of the luxurious residential area.
In the end, they came to a shocking conclusion. There might be unknown substances hidden in the layer a hundred meters below the residential area.
This meant that it was not just ordinary soil, but it was more likely a priceless cultural relic.
When Wu Wu heard the news, he immediately understood that the community complex had to be moved.
Furthermore, there might be infinite secrets under it.
At this time, they had to invest more manpower and resources to protect it.
After that, development had to be done very carefully. Nothing inside the complex could be harmed.
Wu Mo quickly contacted the old chief and submitted the shocking conclusion of his deduction.
The old chief was taken aback.
“Wu Mo, we will provide you with full support!” the old chief said firmly.
Not long after, more than ten large civilian spaceships began to hover above the planet.
Their arrival was like thunder before a storm, and everyone was in disbelief.
Wu Mo looked at the various resources, exploration equipment, mining equipment, and professional teams on the spaceships. He heaved a sigh of relief once everything was unloaded.
Such power was enough to turn the entire underground area of the luxurious complex upside down.
However, during this process, they had to protect everything inside as much as possible. After all, this could be a precious historical legacy.
Immediately after, the excavators began to dig into the ground’s surface and carefully blast the floors.
The explosion on Eternal Sun instantly became the focus of the entire world.
Unfortunately, this process was not made public in the form of a live broadcast, so people could not view the whole thing.
“What a pity. How I wish I could see how different the explosion has made Eternal Sun!”
Everyone expressed their regret.
