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

Chapter 156 Underground Floor

As the three of them continued descending down the spiral metal staircase, a dark underground space gradually appeared in front of Chen Fan.

Although the surface is covered with a fairly thick layer of dust, the surrounding walls still reflect the unique luster of metal under the white light provided by the smart terminal.

The entire underground space is quite wide. A conservative estimate is that its area is definitely more than five times that of the rocket observation room on the surface.

It was pitch black inside the satellite launch center where the energy was completely exhausted, and the light provided by the smart terminal seemed a little pale in front of this almost endless darkness.

Driven by anti-gravity engines, several spherical drones floated silently through the dark underground space like ghosts.

At the same time, a holographic picture automatically popped up in front of Chen Fan, and the holographic model in it was quickly completed.

"No traces of omnic activity have been detected."

Electronic synthesized sounds rang in his ears, and Chen Fan's tense nerves relaxed.

With the light of the smart terminal, he squinted his eyes and looked around.

As far as the naked eye can see, the entire underground space is filled with steel frame structures of various sizes, with a large number of discarded wires of unknown purpose randomly wound around them.

Fortunately, the lighting system on the ceiling seemed to be intact - at least the light tubes were still securely plugged into their bases.

It looked like it was depressed and dilapidated.

Chen Fan frowned, and an even worse thought flashed through his mind: Could this satellite launch center, which had been abandoned for seventy years, be vacated?
In any case, investigating in the dark is definitely not his style.

"One, can the power supply here be restored?" Chen Fan pondered for a moment and asked Yi, "At least the lighting system must be restored to normal operation."

"Hold on."

A drone flew silently in front of a thick exposed cable. The next second, a slender light blue arc emitted from the lower end of the drone and gently touched the copper inside the cable. on-line.

Nothing happens.

The drone did not hesitate and flew to another cable again.

It's the same process again.

Not only this drone, but other detection drones also performed the same operation under Yi's control.

For a moment, fleeting light blue arcs lit up in the dark hall one after another.

Chen Fan looked confused: "What...what are you doing?"

"Reversely analyze the circuit system of the satellite launch center." Yi gave a brief response, "At the same time, test the integrity of the internal circuit system of the satellite launch center."

Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

Okay, okay, you're just putting the exhaustive method on hold, right?

Looking at those detection drones that looked like famous electricians, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel tired from the bottom of his heart: "It's a level nine civilization after all, isn't there any more high-end method?"

"Of course." Yi gave the answer clearly, "Starship-level high-power scanning can directly complete the particle-level scanning and modeling of the entire ruins; starship-level nano self-repairing system can complete it within thirty seconds. Repair work on the internal wiring of the ruins; more advanced, Genesis can directly change the rules of this space to achieve true light source lighting work."

"There are many ways, but..."

"Do you have the appropriate permissions? Do you have the appropriate equipment?"

Listening to the heart-wrenching question, Chen Fan's tiredness instantly flooded his face: "Stop talking, I understand what you mean."

"Just use the current method."

"To state in advance, I did not break the defense. I have always believed that this primitive method also has its own advantages. In many cases, there is no need to blindly pursue higher-end methods..."

Beside him, Gao Yuan and Isha cast strange glances at Chen Fan.

Looking at Chen Fan who looked gloomy, smiled and murmured in a low voice, Gao Yuan swallowed, lowered his voice and asked Isha beside him: "Brother Fan... is he okay?"

Isa looked hesitant. She shook her head slightly and gave the answer in an uncertain tone: "Probably...?"

On the other side, Chen Fan's murmur echoed in the empty underground space: "...There is an old saying that the most high-end ingredients often use the simplest cooking methods. I think this saying is similar to the current practice. One, do you think what I said makes sense?"

After a moment of silence, Yi finally chose to change the topic:

"...The analysis work has been completed."

Illusive circuits, thick or thin, quickly appeared in the holographic projection in front of Chen Fan: "There is good news. The circuit system of the satellite launch center is quite well preserved. At least there is no problem with the circuit system on the underground floor. of."

"...Wait?" Chen Fan noticed the hidden information in the words and suddenly came back to his senses, "Underground level?"

"And there's a second underground floor?"

He turned his head and looked at the holographic map glowing with a faint blue light in front of him: "But... there is no downward passage!"

"During the detection process, this machine found that the main power supply cable extended from the underground." A thick cable flashing red appeared in the blue holographic map, "This main power supply cable has a total of Nine branch cables were installed, eight of which were scattered in the underground space on this floor to provide energy for various equipment. Only one branch cable was separated and extended to the side of the underground space on this floor."

Looking at the branch cable connected to the concrete pouring area in the holographic projection, Chen Fan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The answer is already obvious: there is a hidden independent small space on the side of this underground space!
The so-called second underground floor must be entered through that independent small space! While thinking, a detection drone flew slowly to a thick cable extending from the ceiling.

The next second, a slender light blue arc penetrated the air and connected to the copper core inside the broken cable.

As the detection drone continued to get closer to the broken cable, the color of the arc gradually deepened and its thickness continued to increase.

Gradually, the light bulbs on the ceiling began to flicker with a faint light.

Perhaps the load limit of the entire system was measured. The arc released by the detection drone instantly increased, and the light tubes on the ceiling instantly brightened!
After hundreds of years, many light tubes have failed, but even so, those remaining light tubes still illuminate the dark underground space as bright as day!

Chen Fan squinted his eyes slightly, and waited until his eyes adapted to the suddenly bright environment before he opened his eyes and looked around.

As he had guessed before, the entire underground level had been evacuated.

Looking around, there were only rows of empty metal shelves and cables of varying thicknesses lying on the cold ground.

Although he had long expected such a scene, Chen Fan still felt his heart sinking when he saw the scene in front of him.

The only thing that comforted him was that there was a barely complete device deep in the underground space - a device that looked like a central console.

Without any hesitation, he walked directly towards the central console that looked relatively complete.

Following the echoing footsteps, the distance between Chen Fan and the central console continued to shrink, and the things placed above it also came into view.

The moment he saw the object clearly, Chen Fan's expression changed and he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Right in front of him, where his eyes were focused, was a small Q-version doll.

The surface of the doll is covered with a thick layer of dust, and its original color has been severely faded and distorted due to age.

But even so, with his almost perfect facial features and aloof temperament, Chen Fan still vaguely recognized the other party's true identity——

【source】.

To be precise, it is [Source]'s self-image displayed to the outside world.

Chen Fan suddenly stopped and attracted the attention of the two assistants behind him.

Seeing that Chen Fan didn't reply, Gao Yuan quickly ran to his side and asked him: "Brother Fan, what happened?"

Still a little unsure, Chen Fan raised his hand and pointed to the central console directly in front of him: "Look over there."

next second.

"Female, goddess?!"

Listening to Gao Yuan's exclamation, Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that I got it right. This is indeed the image of [Yuan]."

"Why is there also a statue of the goddess here?"

Gao Yuan asked Chen Fan eagerly.

"Isn't this simple?"

Chen Fan quickly stepped forward and grabbed the faded Q-version doll in his hands: "The birth of [Yuan] may be earlier than we imagined."

"The so-called omnic crisis is probably inseparable from what happened in the prosperous era."

A sentence that [Yuan] once mentioned flashed through Chen Fan's mind - 'Why do you want to help those humans with bad natures? They don't deserve your help! '

Humanity in prosperous times...

What exactly did you do?

While feeling confused, Chen Fan turned his attention to the central console in front of him.

Unlike other devices that only have metal iron frames left, there is also a computer device in the central console.

"one."

Chen Fan pointed his right hand at the computer equipment: "See if we can start this computer."

The white scanning beam slowly swept over the dusty computer equipment.

The internal structure of this antique machine also emerged in the holographic projection.

"The motherboard has been completely burned. Preliminary judgment is that it should be caused by long-term operation in a high dust environment."

Yi gave a conclusion: "This machine can try to directly scan and read the data in the hard disk."

The scanning beam appears again.

Different from before, when the scanning beam appeared this time, Chen Fan suddenly found that the metal casing of the computer in front of him suddenly became transparent!

The white beam seemed to violate the principles of physics, passing through the thick metal casing and complex circuit boards, and shining directly on a circular device.
