Chapter 707 Sacred Relics

Chapter 707 Sacred Relics
Every plane in the multiverse can actually be simply regarded as a planet, but the void is so vast that all kinds of strange things can be born.

In this void, there is the realm of gods, the relics of the void race, and the indescribable and incomprehensible ancient shadows.

The job of the recycler is to take back these ownerless, unwanted items and sell them for money.

This part of the job sounds like an interstellar adventurer, but they will also gather around battlefields, and rush in to pick up destroyed ships, any valuable materials, etc. after each major battle, so junk pickers are more suitable for recyclers.

There are many people who want to make a living from this, and since recyclers are relatively free and less regulated, many interstellar pirates will join recyclers as a side job, or in other words, piracy is their side job, so the competition in this industry is fierce.

After all, if you pick it up, you earn money. Whoever picks it up keeps it. It is difficult to protect your income without some skills.

Alyssa had only recently taken over the captaincy from her deceased grandfather, but having grown up on a ship, she knew the job of a recycler well.

Recently, she found a crystal plate that recorded a lost star map. After half a year of data decryption, she finally figured out the location of a lost relic.

But the bad news is that she was not the only one who got the crystal panels, two other recyclers also came to compete for the business.

This is not okay.

There was no chance of keeping it all to himself, but the other two recyclers didn’t dare to attack him, so he had to get the best part before them and run away quickly.

So they entered this asteroid ruin floating in the void and groped their way forward in the pitch-black darkness.

"There are still ten minutes left. If you can't find anything in ten minutes, I will force you to go back."

The oxygen in the void protective suit can last for another thirty minutes, but considering the return journey and possible unexpected situations, ten minutes is Long's biggest concession.

"Okay, okay, I get it. Let's go. I have a feeling there is a treasure ahead."

"You are a human being, how can you have such perception?"

Long sighed and waved behind him, signaling the commandos to follow.

"Come to think of it, this ruins looks very well preserved. It doesn't look like it was attacked. Why was it abandoned?"

"Judging from the emblem on the airlock door, it was built by people from the Heretic Church more than a thousand years ago. Their whereabouts were very secretive, and it might have been a hidden secret base at the time, so no one has discovered it for a thousand years."

Speaking of this, Alyssa was excited:

"The void environment perfectly preserved it. As for why it was abandoned, I looked at the terminal logs and it seems that an unknown virus spread in the base and everyone died."

"Ah? Virus?"

"You are a silicon crystal person, what are you afraid of?"

"But most of the people on the ship are humans!"

"Don't worry, the void can kill all viruses. They would have been destroyed long ago."

"I will arrange the most stringent disinfection procedures and implement them immediately after I return."

"Hey……"

"No prolonged sounds!"

It’s hard to tell from his appearance, but Long, the silicon crystal man, is already in his thirties.

The life span of a silicon man is similar to that of a human. Although he is nominally Alyssa's sergeant major, he is actually more like an old mother...

As he spoke, the light revealed a hexagonal airlock door in front of him, like a huge nut embedded in the wall.

Alyssa floated over with the help of the wall, reached out to open a pocket on the arm of the protective suit, pulled out a cable and connected it to the control panel.

Soon, the panel beeped a few times, the diode lit up green, and the door slowly opened with a "kong" sound.

The imbalance of air pressure inside and outside caused a large amount of air to rush out from the door the moment it was opened, like a gust of wind passing through the passage.

However, everyone was well prepared and had used hooks to secure themselves to the handrails on both sides of the passage in advance, even the wounded were not forgotten to secure themselves.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, when the wind pressure calmed down, Alyssa took the lead and got in. Long was afraid that something would happen to her, so he cursed inwardly that this girl was really brave, and hurried to follow.

As soon as she passed through the door, Alyssa suddenly fell to the ground, but she didn’t care at all. She jumped up and said excitedly:

"Oh, there's still artificial gravity here!"

The floor was different from before. It was like a hollow metal plate. When you stepped on it, it would emit a deep "dong dong" sound that would be transmitted through your feet to your ears.

After jumping twice on the spot to adapt, Alyssa looked around.

They must have come to a very empty area, so empty that the lights placed on their chests could not illuminate the darkness further away.

However, Alyssa immediately found a control console nearby and rushed over as if she had found a treasure.

Long signaled the others to stay put, and he tightened his grip on the plasma gun:

"This place gives me a very bad feeling. Do you know what you are looking for?"

"A sacred relic."

Alyssa pulled out the cable and connected it to the console. Fortunately, the universal interface could be connected to it.

"The only things left behind by the Heretic Church are of no particular value except for the sacred relics. They wanted to create a god back then."

The panel of the console lit up with a faint fluorescent light, indicating that the energy supply was normal. Alyssa typed on a keyboard with twisted characters that looked like tadpole writing. She seemed to be proficient in this kind of writing.

"You feel uncomfortable, which proves that we have found the holy relic... I have found it, let me turn on the light first."

As Alyssa pressed a button, lights from bottom to top were lit up under everyone's feet, like some kind of searchlight, forming beams of light that shot towards the ceiling.

Only then did I notice that the ceiling here was curved, and when the beam of light shone on it, it seemed to form a diffuse reflection, and instantly spread out in the entire dark space.

"what is that?!"

A pyramid as huge as a mountain, made up of metal plates, gears, Nixie tubes, and vacuum tubes, appeared before everyone's eyes, leaving everyone stunned.

Their job as recyclers had exposed them to many strange and bizarre creations, but none as stunning as the one before them.

It's not just big. A starship is much larger than this thing. But even if you stand in front of the largest starship, you won't feel such a terrifying sense of oppression that makes you want to kneel down.

Alyssa did not answer Long's words. She held the panel with both hands. She could feel every inch of her flesh and blood trembling, and the cables in the implants embedded in her body were twitching like living things.

Every cell in my body sounded a red alarm, as if a voice was whispering in my ears.

What you see is too great to look at directly.

As her entire body sounded the alarm, a sense of ecstasy spread from Alyssa’s heart:

"This is definitely the most valuable treasure we have ever found in our lives!"

"You're not going to transport it away! Impossible!"

Long quickly interrupted his captain's unrealistic idea. Not to mention how to move it, this thing was so big that it couldn't be stuffed into the cargo hold of the starship.

What's more, there is no time and no manpower to dismantle and transport it away, and the other two recyclers are waiting eagerly.

And as if in response to Long's words, a series of violent vibrations were transmitted along the floor to everyone's toes, and at the same time, the lights turned into a flashing red.

"What happened!"

Long rushed to the control panel and saw a line of eye-catching red fonts on it.

'Warning: System crash cannot be repaired, self-destruct program activated, all personnel please evacuate within ten minutes'
