Chapter 119 Exploring Ancient Ruins 4
At the foot is a metal platform with an area of more than four square meters. Along the metal platform, it is a step-by-step downward step.
In front of you is a huge frame of glass and metal, with a visual height of more than ten meters, and then it is dark, and you can't see anything clearly.
Each piece of glass is about nine square meters, neatly embedded in the metal frame, and the metal frame extends infinitely around, with a length of at least 100 meters on the left and right sides.
Looking through the glass on the frame, you can faintly see something, but it is not very clear, and you can't guess what's inside.
The platform where Gu Lie stands has a certain height, which allows him to look at the situation around him from a top-down perspective.
On the metal walls on both sides of the platform, there are many encapsulated metal boxes, one by one. This should be what Fowler said, asking them to search carefully.
The chandelier at a distance of seven or eight meters above the head gradually weakens its brightness, and the visual range of Gu Lie is also shrinking. The metal frame and glass plate gradually submerged into the darkness, and it feels like being swallowed up by the darkness.
Gu Lie has never seen this kind of large-scale underground fortifications. This is the first time, and it is exactly so that he feels extremely shocked.
There are many things to consider when building fortifications hundreds of meters underground, including soil layer, pressure, underground river and other factors. And the underground fortification that has been built and existed for a long time in front of us can be said to be a miracle, a miracle in the history of human architecture.
While Gu Lie sighed, he didn't forget Dolly. When he came back, he saw that she was still closing her eyes and asked with concern, "How's it going? Are your eyes better?"
"It doesn't hurt so much, but it still feels like I can't open it." Dolly whispered. The light caused a lot of damage to the eyes. As he spoke, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
Gu Lie said, "Take your time and open your eyes little by little. Don't keep closing them. Be careful that you can't open them again in the future."
Hearing what he said seriously, Dolly immediately panicked and scratched her hands in front of her eyes. It was not until she grabbed Gu Lie's arm that she calmed down a little and asked, "Are your eyes really invisible?" Her voice trembled a little.
"Teasing you..." Gu Lie smiled. In fact, he is not sure. He doesn't know how much Dolly's eyes have been hurt. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for him to temporarily lose his sight after being bright, and it won't last long.
"It's annoying!" Dolly pinched his arm hard, "At this time, you are still joking with me." She was really scared. If she was so young and couldn't see anything, then her life would be too tragic.
"Take your time and open your eyes to try." Gu Lie helped her restore her vision little by little.
"I can't see clearly..." Dolly shook her head and followed exactly what Gu Lie said. After her eyes were opened, there was only a vague shadow in front of her.
Gu Lie looked closer. It may be because he was affected by the strong light and could not focus for the time being, so he advised, "Don't worry, wait, it will take some time to recover."
Dolly knew that it was useless to be anxious, so she sat on the ground, with her legs on the steps, and Gu Lie squatted on the metal platform outside.
"Tell me, are there any ancient relics?"
Gu Lie said gently, "Yes, and it is a relic that will definitely surprise you!" But I can't tell you that you have to watch it yourself so that you can feel the shock.
He said this, one is to give Dolly confidence, and the other is because he really can't describe it in words.
Gu Lie has never seen other ancient relics. In terms of this in front of him, he can no longer describe it with words. In terms of praise and exclamation, the vocabulary he has accumulated is really limited.
After a while, Dolly felt that her eyes did not hurt at all, and the figure in front of her gradually became clear from blur. When Gu Lie's squatting on the ground was completely clearly reflected in her eyes, she actually cried with some excitement. It really scared her just now.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, go and see the ancient ruins!" Gu Lie patted her on the knee and comforted her.
Dolly wiped away her tears, nodded, and stood up under his pull.
"I'm ready..." Gu Lie stood in front of her, smiled, and dodged as if he were beside her.
Dolly came out step by step, stood on the metal platform, facing the empty space and the combination of huge metal frames and glass in front of her. She opened her mouth in surprise and looked at the huge underground fortifications in front of her.
"Is this an ancient relic?" Dolly swallowed her saliva. The things in front of her were so surprised that she couldn't imagine how these metal frames could withstand the pressure from the surface of hundreds of meters underground, and there was such a large space. What material was used to reinforce the top to keep it until now without collapsing.
"This is not an ancient relic..." Dolly sighed, "Technology is obviously more advanced than now. It's too shocking!"
Gu Lie said, "This is very normal. After the 'Doomsday War', this generation of civilization has just started, while the ancient ruins belong to the previous generation of civilization. The scientific and technological height formed after thousands of years is not something that can catch up in a day or two, and it will take time to settle down. However, there is no clever way, that is, to find all the ancient relics hidden underground on the mainland, learn all the high technology, and the scientific and technological civilization will take a big step forward.
There are some words later that he did not say. Since the current scientific and technological civilization has leaped forward, it is necessary to cultivate generations to inherit, carry forward and create. If it is just "eating the old capital", relying on the technology obtained to launch a war, seek huge profits, and occupy territory, the scientific and technological civilization will stop here.
"No matter how much it is, it's not something I need to worry about anyway." Dolly smiled and said, "Let's go down and have a look!" Seeing that Gu Lie was about to speak, she quickly said, "I know, just walk around here, and never get close to the 'glass wall' in front of you!"
Gu Lie nodded with a smile and said, "As long as you can know, let's go down and have a look now."
He is more interested in the things in the nearby metal boxes. He most hopes to find something like protective clothing, so that he can safely enter the ancient ruins under the protection of protective clothing.
Dolly rushed all the way to the platform like a happy bird. There was a very thin yellow line in front of her, dividing the ground into two areas. She just hesitated for a moment, but finally did not cross over. She turned to the metal box placed close to the wall and shouted to Gu Lie, "Come here, it seems to be some good things!"
"Be careful!" Gu Lie told him.
Everything here is novel and dangerous for them. Fowler can return because he just turned around in front of the real entrance of the ancient ruins. Although he was injured by radioactive materials, nothing else threatened his life.
And what's in these boxes is not necessarily the case. No one can guarantee what's in it, and maybe something like prehistoric creatures will pop up.
Dolly stood in front of a raised metal box. There was nothing from the platform. When she really stood in front of the box, it seemed that she was so petite.
These metal boxes are almost two and a half meters high, tightly attached to the wall, and the distance between each box is less than ten centimeters.
"How can I open this?" Dolly turned around in front of the box.
Gu Lie held USP45 in his hand and quietly put it behind his back. Although he didn't know whether the pistol was useful for unknown creatures, it could at least be used as a precaution.
The metal box is very clean and the surface is spotless. It seems that in the ancient ruins, not only the exhaust facilities are operating normally, but even the dust removal system is very advanced. No one has moved for many years, and there is no dust at all.
"Oh, there is a button!" Dolly found a green button on the right side of the box, that is, between the gap between the next box.
"Press it, and then come here quickly!" Gu Lie waved to him.
Dolly nodded, took a deep breath, and then put her hand in the gap. After pressing the green button, she quickly ran back to Gu Lie.
There was a sound of gear bite and metal friction in the metal box. Then the box moved, and the front box plate was lifted up. In the process of opening, many fine lines could be seen on it, and then it began to shrink up from the bottom, shrinking layer by layer, until there was only one big one left at the top. The metal plate, and then indent it into the top layer of the box.
In the same action, the box plate on the left and right sides shrinks vertically, and finally shrinks into the box plate on the top.
The top box board became very thick, and then slowly moved back, which was actually collected into the metal wall behind.
"This is..." Dolly looked at the empty box doubtfully. There was nothing in it. Was she joking with them?
Gu Lie didn't think so. He saw two shallow pits in the shape of footprints on the base of the box, which must have their real use, but he hasn't found it yet.
Dolly didn't believe it and opened all the metal boxes nearby, and there was nothing in it.
"I'm going crazy..."
At the risk of her life, there was nothing in the box, and she could not cross the warning yellow line, which made Dolly very depressed.
"Don't worry!" Gu Lie smiled and comforted, "I'll go and have a look!"
Dolly obviously didn't pay attention to the "footprints" on the base of the box and asked doubtfully, "Where are you going?"
Gu Lie smiled and said nothing. He walked to the box, looked at the "footprints" on it, hesitated for a moment, turned to face Dolly, and took a step back at the same time. His left foot stepped on the "footprints". Then, under Dolly's gaze, his right foot also stepped in!
