With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 155 1730 years

Chen Fan suddenly realized.

It's normal if you think about it carefully.

Compared with the Blue Star Civilization he was a part of before, the technological level of Varela Civilization is significantly higher, and it is reasonable for there to be major breakthroughs in aerospace equipment.

After climbing out of the launch pad, which was only one person deep, Chen Fan's eyes were quickly attracted to dozens of straight and thick metal poles standing on the ground not far away.

Each metal pole is about five meters high.

Similar to the rocket launcher nearby, there are more or less traces of corrosion on the surface of these metal rods.

Chen Fan could even find some exposed broken threads at the bottom of some metal poles.

He quickly walked to one of the metal poles, and a fleeting white light flashed on his right hand.

"Basic scan completed."

The internal structure and material of the metal rod quickly emerged in the holographic projection.

"It can basically be determined that the metal pole is a high-sensitivity signal receiving antenna."

"Antenna?" Chen Fan asked subconsciously, "Do you receive satellite signals?"

Yi rejected Chen Fan's words: "No."

The holographic projection interface changes rapidly, and every nearby metal rod is displayed on the holographic projection.

"Do you know anything about radio telescopes?"

"These high-sensitivity signal receiving antenna arrays function like radio telescopes. Their receiving objects are radio wave signals from other celestial bodies."

"Wait a minute!" Chen Fan raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to interrupt Yi, "I know about radio telescopes. Doesn't that thing have a cover like a big iron pot?"

"What big iron pot?" Chen Fan's words immediately confused Yi, "That's a fucking antenna! It's the antenna of a radio telescope!"

Chen Fan waved his hand cheerfully: "It's almost the same. Just tell me if that antenna looks like a big iron pot?"

one:"……"

"This machine needs to be corrected a little, there are many different antenna models in radio telescopes."

Yi corrected Chen Fan: "The big iron pot you mentioned is just one of them."

"Usually, radio telescopes have parabolic antennas, spherical antennas, helical antennas and half-wave dipole antennas... Damn, why am I telling you these things?"

"In short, these antennas can also function as a radio telescope when combined."

Chen Fan suddenly realized: "If you had said this earlier, wouldn't it be over?"

There was silence for a moment.

"Then... what is that metal pole used for?" Isa's voice came from the side, "It is much higher than these antennas."

Looking in the direction of Isa's finger, at the front of the radio telescope antenna array, Chen Fan suddenly saw a rusty metal pole that was much taller than the antennas in front of him.

No need to ask, just judging from the appearance, this thing must have some special function!

"one?"

Chen Fan was a little excited: "Could that metal rod be a key part of this antenna system, such as..."

The electronic synthesized voice interrupted Chen Fan's words: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, this machine has detected an extremely corroded slide rail system on it. If nothing else, that thing should be a flagpole."

Chen Fan's eyes twitched: "..."

……

Following Yi's guidance, Chen Fan and the others came to the other side of the concrete vault building.

Hidden on the side of this huge building is a very inconspicuous heavy metal door.

The already narrow metal door was covered with a large number of dead branches and leaves. If the detection drone hadn't been powerful enough, they probably wouldn't have been able to find the only way into the building for a while.

After years of changes, the thick metal door shell is stained with a layer of faint traces of corrosion.

Not only that, after a brief inspection, Chen Fan suddenly discovered that the slide rail at the bottom of the metal door had been completely rusted - it was impossible to open the door in the normal way.

As Chen Fan's thoughts moved, with a flash of fluorescent green light, a self-propelled floating turret that resembled a spherical drone slowly rose from his right hand.

Under Yi's precise control, a deep purple laser appeared from the floating turret and shone directly at the metal gate in front of him.

In front of a high-energy laser beam that can penetrate the shell of a starship, a metal door that is 30 centimeters thick is not worth mentioning at all.

The moment the laser beam shines on it, the cold metal heats up and turns red.

The next moment, hot molten iron flowed down the metal door with a sizzling sound.

After a short wait, a rectangular doorway with a faint red light around it, large enough for an adult to enter, appeared on the metal gate.

[The cutting is completed. 】

The moment the prompt appeared in front of him, the fluorescent green light lit up again, and a matte black mechanical exoskeleton appeared from his right hand and quickly covered Chen Fan's body.

Without any hesitation, he raised his foot and kicked the heavy metal door hard.

"Bang!!!"

There was a dull sound, and the part of the door cut off by the laser beam fell straight into the interior of the vaulted building.

The moment the door landed heavily on the ground, a thick layer of dust instantly rose from the ground and dispersed in the air with a rotten atmosphere.

The morning light came from behind Chen Fan, passed through the doorway that was still glowing with a faint red light, and shone into the vaulted building, forming pathways of light.

[Air composition testing in progress...]

[The test is completed, it is non-toxic, the oxygen content is slightly lower than the average, and you can enter normally. 】

...Wearing a mechanical exoskeleton armor and a blue personal protective force field, Chen Fan carefully walked into the vaulted building.

Looking at the somewhat dim environment, he bent his fingers and tapped his right hand gently - there was a groove in the right hand of the mechanical exoskeleton, and the silver-white smart terminal was embedded in it.

"I know, I know……"

At the same time as the electronic synthesizer sounded, a bright beam of light appeared in the vaulted building.

Looking at the room that instantly brightened up, Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction, and then cast a scrutinizing gaze around him.

It is a large and empty room.

There are almost no facilities except for some necessary seats.

There was a thick layer of dust evenly distributed on the floor of the room.

It is not difficult to judge that this closed space has been silent for a long time.

At the same time, this also proves in disguise that there is not much danger in the vault building-at least there are no active omnics in it.

As Chen Fan's eyes moved, detailed scanning parameters quickly appeared on the transparent visor of the mechanical exoskeleton.

Finally, his gaze rested on the observation window embedded in the concrete wall.

The observation window is not large, and a large number of fallen leaves accumulate on the thick glass surface, making it impossible to see the outside world clearly.

"The rocket launch observation room."

After a brief silence, an electronic synthesized voice came to my ears: "The observation window is facing the direction of the rocket launcher. If the fallen leaves are completely cleared, this will be the most perfect observation position."

Chen Fan nodded and walked towards the long-rotted wooden table set up next to the observation window.

There is a calendar on the dark brown wooden table.

The moment Chen Fan saw the numbers on the calendar, he was stunned.

1730 years.

The calendar in front of me is a calendar from 1730!

Looking at the red circles drawn on the calendar, Chen Fan suddenly felt a little confused in his eyes.

According to the information currently available, the omnic crisis occurred in the year 1800 of the old calendar.

There is a total difference of seventy years between the two!

This is definitely not normal!
"Is it possible that... this satellite launch center has been abandoned a long time ago?"

Isha expressed Chen Fan's suspicion.

Chen Fan nodded silently: "This is the only possibility."

This is not good news!

For a civilization that is developing rapidly, the changes in seventy years are so drastic that they can be described as a sea of ​​change!

It was abandoned seventy years in advance, which means that there is most likely no valuable information in the satellite launch center!

Thinking of this, Chen Fan's face darkened.

but……

Now that he's here, he has to do some in-depth investigation, right?

With this thought in mind, Chen Fan turned around and looked deeper into the room - there was a metal staircase spiraling downward.

As I had previously judged, most of this concrete vault building is hidden deep underground!

"Be careful."

Chen Fanchao said to Gao Yuan and Isa who were following him: "It is currently unclear why this satellite launch center was abandoned. There may be some unknown dangers involved."

A satellite launch center abandoned in advance in the wilderness...

If this were a game, Chen Fan could even imagine a series of alien invasion or zombie crisis sequences.

He tensed up and walked cautiously toward the metal stairs.

"Squeak..."

The moment the heavy mechanical exoskeleton armor stepped on the stairs, an overwhelming creak sounded in the dark satellite launch center.

Chen Fan froze, and a drop of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Damn, you were careless!
The weight of the mechanical exoskeleton far exceeds that of Isa's semi-mechanical body. Can this metal staircase really be carried?

"The overall structure is still intact, and the degree of corrosion is not serious."

The scanning white light flashed on the metal stairs: "Theoretically, it can bear the weight of the mechanical exoskeleton, but for safety reasons, this machine recommends that you put away the exoskeleton armor."

"Don't worry, with the protection of the individual protective force field, you have enough time to wear this exoskeleton armor."

Chen Fan listened to Yi's opinion.

The matte black exoskeleton armor quickly dissipated under a burst of fluorescent green light, and was once again stored in the high-dimensional quantum storage space of the smart terminal.

After breaking away from the protection of the exoskeleton, a strong smell of decay instantly poured into Chen Fan's nasal cavity.

"cough!"

He coughed twice, and after getting used to it for a while, he cheered up and walked quickly into the dark underground under the cover of the personal protective force field.

Da da da……

After more than three hundred years, three light or heavy footsteps and the sound of creaking metal stairs broke the tranquility of this satellite launch center buried deep in the ground.
