Galactic Conquest Manual

Chapter 223 Underground Civilization
In the underground world, a huge sandworm is "rustling" the crawler, and the underground man sits on the head of the sandworm, like a coachman, pulling the reins to control the progress of the sandworm.Mary's face was pale, her cheeks were pale, her eyes were blurred, and her energy was a little listless. The nutritious and delicious porridge not only did not make Mary full of nutrition, but made Mary spit out this morning's breakfast, and even last night's dinner. Spit it out.Along the way, it was wilting like a handful of eggplants beaten by frost, and the only thing that could cheer Mary up was the different scenery of the underground world.

"Buzzing..."

A fellow staff member on Sandworm’s back pointed to the flying bright spot in the sky, covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Then... what is that!? Is it an insect!? We are under attack!!"

Mary looked up and saw more than a dozen gray insects with ferocious faces like praying mantises flying over from a distance, with huge bodies like a giant dragon.The wings flapped hummingly, and bursts of light yellow light were emitting from the abdominal cavity, shining through the membrane of the abdominal cavity.A pair of big compound eyes shone red under the reflection of the abdominal light.A pair of huge forearms stretched forward slightly, hooking sharply like a team of machetes.

Mary's heart tightened, did she encounter a dangerous underground creature?At this time, the biologist bus driver who was traveling with him said with a relaxed face: "Everyone, don't worry, this is a creature of the underground people, called the underground mantis. Its function is roughly the same as our ancient war horses. Take a closer look. On top of them are patrolling guards, here to protect us."

Mary looked over and saw that the mantis was indeed riding on the back of the mantis. Mary was surprised: "Is this the mantis knight?" She knew about the dragon knight and the horse knight, but this was the first time she had seen the mantis knight.I saw the mantis knight holding a small pet-like creature in his hand, like an enlarged version of a silkworm chrysalis, but it looked a bit evil.Soft, once milky white, the skin is somewhat transparent, and the bloodshot and white insect flesh inside can still be seen, as well as the gently beating yellow organs.

The bus driver looked at the frowning Mary, smiled lightly, and then said in popular science: "The things in the hands of these guards are called jet bugs, which are similar in function to our rifles. When jet bugs are in crisis, or they are forced When the tail is pinched, a surge of pressure will be generated in the body, and the liquid stored in the body will be ejected quickly, and a powerful liquid with a range of more than [-] meters will attack the enemy. In terms of power, it is about the same as a flintlock gun, and the accuracy is slightly lower. A little higher than that."

Mary was dumbfounded. It was unheard of that this creature could be used as a rifle.But thinking that this is an alien planet, aliens and alien creatures, Mary quickly felt relieved and accepted the objective fact that appeared in front of her eyes.

Escorted by a team of mantis knights, Sandworm soon appeared in front of a huge city.This is one of the largest cities in the underground world, Majaro.The city didn't build anything like a city wall, but it was more like a modern city.It is probably because the underground civilization has developed to the stage where there is no need to use the city walls. It is thought that after the human beings light up the artillery, the city walls are as vulnerable as paper in front of the artillery.Maybe the underground people have something that can be used as a weapon by a creature like a cannon, and the city wall is useless in front of it.

Mazzaro's urban architectural style is different from that of the people on Earth, neither the Western architectural style nor the Eastern architectural style.It is a style combined with biology. The building is a house made of clay in the ground to make bricks one by one, and then slowly built up, so the overall color of the house is dark red.Some of the houses will also be piled with huge snail shells and screwdrivers as decorations, which looks exactly like humans appearing in the insect world after shrinking.In addition, there are vines and other plants climbing along the walls of the house, glowing with light, which looks very ecological.

The sandworm walked quickly on the main road, and saw a red and blue light at the fork in front of the road.The red and blue lights are composed of three huge fireflies. When the red fireflies light up, the sandworms stop attacking. Pedestrians on both sides of the street stop and look curiously at the earthlings on the sandworms.Beside the sandworm, creatures like snails are gliding quickly. On each snail sits one or two underground people, holding the reins in their hands, as if they are driving a horse, according to the red and blue lights. Instructions, quickly turn into the next intersection.As the red and blue lights turned blue, the bug driver on the sandworm pulled the reins, and the sandworm moved again.

In the center of Mazzaro, there is a castle-like thing, which is the Congress of the country.The mantis knights in the sky escorted Sandworm to the Congress, then slowly flew down, and stood solemnly on the left and right of Sandworm, standing in two rows, very solemn.At this time, the soldiers at the gate of the Congress also held spray worms in their hands, and saluted the underground people respectfully towards Mary and the others.

The bus driver, the biologist said at this moment: "Everyone, here we are."

After entering the Congress, everyone realized that the Congress here is almost the same as the Congress on Earth, and the surrounding seats are filled with dignitaries and members of Congress.The speaker of the National Assembly is an underground man with gray-blue skin. After seeing the people coming in, he hurriedly went up to him and hugged the team leader: "Gaulics, I didn't expect you to come again so soon. Welcome, welcome, Is there any progress?"

Captain Gaul smiled and said, "This time I brought a huge scientific research team, and all mysteries will be solved. Don't worry, no difficulty can stop us Gauls."

The proud Gallic rooster said so, and the speaker of the underground people looked quite satisfied.Later, Mary learned from the bus driver, a biologist, that the underground people commissioned everyone to solve the mystery of the top ten temples of the underground people.Once the temple is unlocked, the underground vegetation will grow back to the ground, replacing the desert and becoming a continental planet full of vegetation, and the underground people will return to the ground to live again.In exchange, in return, the underground people gave up the entire surface world to the Gauls. Of course, the Gauls allowed the underground people to live freely on the ground, and the Gauls could also live freely underground.

Occupying this planet without fighting, although it is superficial, but the soldiers do not have bloodshed, so why not do it, this is the best strategy among soldiers.The president of the Gaul female general, Jeanne, readily agreed to such a request, and arranged a large number of scientific research teams and exploration teams to rush to Taal, preparing to solve the troubles encountered by Taal.

The underground people didn't live completely underground at first, they were both on the ground and underground.Ten thousand years ago, the surface of Taal star suddenly deteriorated, forcing the underground people to evacuate underground for refuge, and dared not set foot on the ground for thousands of years.Until now, the underground people dared to try to go to the ground, but the harsh surface made it impossible for them to live there.And it's a pity that the highly developed civilization in the past only left the outline of the ruined city, and the so-called ruins can't find any usable technology.As a result, the underground people experienced a technological reversal. Because of the changes on the surface, according to the history of the earth, the entire civilization has regressed by at least 400 years.

However, the underground people quickly built ten temples after the surface deteriorated, and calculated that after thousands of years, when the sandstorm on the surface weakened, they could activate the temples, allowing the energy in the temples to stimulate the underground plants and cover the surface again.Because there is a time span of thousands of years, in order not to be destroyed in the middle, the scientists of the underground people have set up different mechanisms on each temple.Only by deciphering these mechanisms can one enter the temple to activate the temple and complete the feat of returning to the ground.

However, the science of the underground people has long since failed, and these institutions have been unable to crack these organs no matter what for more than 1000 years, and finally the underground people had to choose to give up.It wasn't until the arrival of the Gauls that the underground people remembered the ten temples buried underground that were about to be abandoned, and hoped that the Gauls, who claimed to be highly civilized and friendly, could help them solve the problem.
