Chapter 624 - 624 Pioneers of Humanity
624 Pioneers of Humanity
After the entire floor was blasted, the industrial robots quickly moved out with the help of controllable nuclear fusion energy. They were responsible for cleaning up.
These robots were extremely efficient, and they cleared the thick layer of debris in a short period of time.
Immediately after, the excavators went into action again and continued digging.
“Chief Engineer Wu, our equipment has detected those strange elements at a distance of about 130 meters!” A survey expert stood beside Wu Mo and reported excitedly.
Wu Mo nodded. A hundred and thirty meters was indeed a tough challenge.
If ordinary drilling equipment could not reach it, then they could only rely on the superalloy tunneling machine!
Suddenly, a large-scale drilling machine in front of him stopped working. Wu Mo frowned.
This huge drilling equipment could cover a radius of more than two hundred meters.
Once it stopped, they could not continue to develop the area.
Faced with this sudden predicament, Wu Mo did not hesitate to activate the superalloy tunneling machine!
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the tunneling machine as it was activated. It looked like it could challenge the secret underground realm.
At a depth of 130 meters, the tunneling machine moved like a beast that did not know how to tire. It swept past all the dirt, and no one could stop it.
When the tunneling machine finally touched the unknown element, Wu Mo immediately ordered it to stop.
With the drilling equipment’s assistance, the ground was soon completely opened. Layer after layer was excavated, and the tip of the “underground iceberg” finally surfaced.
“Heavens! This is…” an archaeologist exclaimed.
He had discovered the exposed corner of a metal object in the soil.
He carefully removed the surrounding soil, and to his surprise, he found a… refrigerator?
That’s right. It was a refrigerator!
The word “refrigerator” was not written on its surface. Instead, there were some strange words on it.
However, its shape, size, and structure resembled that of a refrigerator.
Discovering a refrigerator on Eternal Sun was simply unbelievable!
Everyone revealed a confused expression. The entire thing sounded fake!
However, the surprises did not stop there. The team made other major discoveries, and exclamations rose from every direction.
“Look over there! It’s a television!”
“Oh, my God! Is that an air conditioner?”
“That’s impossible. I see a cell phone, and… it seems like I can still turn it on!”
At this moment, everyone’s eyes widened. Every new discovery was akin to opening a door to another world.
Wu Mo was even more convinced that they were exploring a once-glorious civilization. Unfortunately, it was lost to the sands of time.
As they increased their pace, they discovered many modern furniture items that were exactly the same as those in human society. However, they also caught a glimpse of more large-scale equipment.
Among them, one was particularly eye-catching. It resembled a magnificent machine that could take X-ray images.
It could even perform better than the most cutting-edge equipment of a similar nature in the human world.
Although it was small in size, it had shockingly high accuracy. In addition, its radiation effect was negligible.
They managed to discover all this because during the excavation process, they were surprised to find that the machine’s functions were still intact. It was as if it could be immediately put into use once it was connected to a power source.
“Impossible! This is impossible! I can tell that several hundred thousand years have passed here. How is it still functioning?” An archaeologist shook his head in disbelief. He found this extremely ridiculous.
These electrical appliances were still intact after being buried in the ground for such a long time. How was it possible?
They were obviously made of metal, so why did they not decompose? Everyone was in shock and disbelief.
As the entire excavation process neared its end, the ruins of a magnificent civilization were revealed.
There were rundown castles, ruins of houses, and all kinds of furniture. Everything seemed so real. The most surprising thing was a small car that was parked next to the furniture.
This car was completely different from any of the luxury cars on Earth. It was round in shape like a disk from top to bottom.
There were only three triangular wheels under the “metal disk,” and they made it extremely stable.
Either one of the three wheels could act as the front or rear wheel.
This implied that the small car could move freely in any direction.
“Look, its power system is located in the middle of the three wheels. It provides a full-range driving experience!”
Wu Mo smiled. He was very excited about this discovery.
When the ruins were excavated, the outside world was taken aback.
After the old chief received the news, he immediately checked the report.
When he read more about the vanished civilization, he learned many profound truths.
He looked at this world that was highly similar to the human’s with his mouth agape.
“Were… Were those on Eternal Sun pioneers of humanity? Did our ancestors really land on that planet and create such a glorious civilization there?” The old chief’s voice was filled with wonder.
Wu Mo grinned. He did not expect the old chief to have a better imagination than him.
Soon after, the old chief gave a stern order to protect everything in the ruins no matter what. That way, they could remain intact on Eternal Sun.
Wu Mo nodded slightly. He promised the old chief that he would send important specimens back and study them carefully at the research center.
Just like that, China protected the ancient ruins and built a museum on the spot.
While Wu Mo boarded the spaceship and prepared to return, the old chief’s words kept echoing in his mind.
He believed that this civilization had obviously taken the same path as humans.
The universe was vast and boundless. There were countless civilizations, and each civilization had a different path of development.
Humans were carbon-based lifeforms that relied on oxygen to survive, so they developed in a completely different way from other lifeforms.
However, the electrical appliances and daily necessities that appeared on Eternal Sun were all products of human civilization.
This meant that Eternal Sun’s civilization had walked the same path as human civilization. Different civilizations had ended up on the same path. What a wonderful coincidence!
Nevertheless, he was puzzled. Why did this civilization suddenly disappear?
Wu Mo imagined that if they could find the weapons of this civilization, they would know how advanced its technology was.
Speaking of which, there were no traces of war there, so how did the civilization disappear?
Wu Mo contemplated for a long time, but he still did not have an answer.
He knew that he had to find the answer. It was extremely important to understand how and why Eternal Sun was destroyed.
This would also serve as a warning for the difficulties that mankind might face in the future.
