Chapter 64 Heavenly Kingdom Knum

The rotation of the planet plunges the frozen city into a deeper and colder night.

Gray fog envelopes the city, and the vast and colorful sea of ​​stars tenaciously shines through the thin atmosphere and gray fog, reflecting the dazzling Milky Way.

The vibrations in the air drove strong winds to hit the buildings and terrain, causing a continuous roar.

The archaeological camp was built in such a harsh environment, and the team spent the first cold night huddled in their tents.

The sun shines slightly in the early morning, and the temperature rises slightly, but it is still below zero and below 100 degrees.

The three members of Aisha's team approached the central conference room through the corridor connecting the tents. The sound of air valve opening was heard. Pace and more than ten people had gathered inside early, obviously preparing to set off.

"Lord Elsa!"×N

Seeing her arrival, greetings with honorifics came from her former subordinates.

"Long time no see, little Weiss..."

"Miss Larson looks good today..."

"..."

Although she was a little uncomfortable, Aisha nodded and responded one by one.

After she finished responding with great effort, she wiped away the non-existent sweat and raised her head again. Another group of team members came into the room.

When the new teammates saw Aisha pause for a moment, they opened their mouths to say hello as usual.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Oh~" Pace next to him sighed slightly.

Staring at the 'clumsy' new leader Aisha, she quickly turned into a ruthless greeting machine, with quick eyesight and quick hands to stop others.

"No need to say anything unnecessary. Let's each check the life support and exploration equipment and set off on time in half an hour."

After receiving the order, the members gathered in the party and dispersed, dragging their equipment.

Elsa breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been saved, and quickly ran to Pace.

"It's so embarrassing...I almost got surrounded by my teammates."

"It's your own fault. You can only blame yourself for being too nervous." Pace complained ruthlessly.

"Then what should I do? Ever since I got promoted, I always feel like their eyes are shining when they look at me. It was okay when they were serious before, but now..."

Elsa didn't say anything more, but tried to open her eyes wide, trying to make Pace feel the same.

After being promoted from the captain's mate to the leader and becoming a public figure, the empire will naturally publicize it. Every time she sees the slogans in the Gudu Star radio communication, she wants to dig three feet into the ground and bury herself alive.

Her image in the ship suddenly changed from the amiable Elsa to an upright biped in the zoo.

The shortcomings of the good reviews were revealed at this time, the ‘tourist staff’ were too enthusiastic.

Elsa avoids crowds unless necessary. Without her care for the mouse breeding in the experimental area, Christina has been reincarnated countless times.

"You need to learn to adapt. Leaders are human beings too. They have their own personalities and characteristics. Just be yourself."

Pace lowered his head and continued to look at the model of the ruined city, constantly adjusting the angles of his hands and marking individual buildings from time to time. These will be one of the targets of this operation.

Elsa scratched her head in distress.

"To put it lightly...it's not like you have to endure the pain of being a tourist."

Everyone knows that you have to learn to adapt. The prerequisite for adaptability is to experience it a few times. The more you experience it, the more you can treat it with a normal mind.

So how should she get through the pre-adaptation stage?

"I'm going to check the equipment, Captain Pace."

After thinking about it, Aisha decided to use her work to escape and find a nook and cranny to do her business, so that others would not disturb her.

As if he didn't hear anything, Pace was obsessed with playing with the city model and assigning tasks to each team.

It wasn't until the model was densely covered with red marks that she raised her head and realized that Elsa was gone.

Expanding the search line of sight, I could only see the team members in the hall scattered in the corners, playing with instruments and checking equipment.

…

Time continues to pass and it is approaching the hour. The archaeological team has arrived early. Pace, Aisha, Xinglai, Bana, Wood, Fang Yan, Yuzi... Thirty people were counted and divided into ten teams.

The minute digits of the clock reset to zero again.

Pace pressed the bell gently, and the members of each team who had finished lining up waited quietly in front of the safety valve.

"Logistics staff, dress us up."

She shouted loudly in the distance, and several people trotted over. She took the lead to the equipment area, got into the life-support suit, supported her body, and was assisted by the logistics staff to fasten the upper armor, install auxiliary equipment, and finally check the seal.

The archaeological team followed closely and finished dressing one after another. Everyone gradually turned to channel communication, and the channel in the headset kept ringing commands.

Soon the last team member finished dressing, and the irrelevant personnel left immediately.

"Chief of Base, open the gate."

The order is transmitted to the main control room.

There was a brief mechanical sound, the sound of gas being pumped out, the sealed gate opened again, and the group of people walked out of the temporary base with complete equipment.

After standing quietly for hundreds of thousands of years, the dead silver-white city has once again gained some popularity.

Initially, the archaeological team gathered together and acted as a collective.

As the team approached the 'Holy Sword', teams continued to separate, heading in other directions with clear goals.

In the end, only three teams led by Pace, Aisha, and Fang Yan were left. When they approached the 'Holy Sword', they did not look for the entrance to the battleship, but chose to bypass it. They had other goals.

"Why not just try to enter the Holy Sword?"

Without the obstruction of the 'Holy Sword', the low crown building a hundred meters away came into view, and Aisha asked.

The crown-shaped building does not appear to be large in scale, with a height of only ten meters above the ground. The metal sealed door is incomplete, revealing a huge hole.

The appearance was very shabby and ordinary. If Pace had not told them in advance, they would never have imagined that this humble place was the highest priority for this exploration operation.

"For safety and efficiency." Pace replied quickly.

"If I enter the battleship directly, I am worried about accidentally touching its automatic defense system, so I plan to start with the information that this civilization may have left behind. The history of the holy sword being inserted into the earth's surface is far older than that of ancient civilizations, and ancient civilizations must also have relevant records.

"

"It makes sense...but can it really retain the automatic defense system code?"

Team member Xing Lai stopped and looked back at the Holy Sword. The sword-shaped hull was tall and white.

"If I remember correctly, Master Gudu said that this battleship must be at least a million years old."

It's hard to imagine how powerful the energy system is to keep a warship on standby for millions of years without maintenance.

"I just guessed that there is an automatic defense system... After all, the surface material of this battleship is neutron armor."

Pace shook his head and continued to explain.

After learning from Lord Gudu that the Holy Sword was a space battleship, Pace had his team members analyze its surface material through a machine yesterday.

Thanks to the ancient stone tablet on Gudu Star, she easily understood the approximate technological level of this ancient space battleship.

A spaceship with neutron armor cannot be overestimated.

"..."

After learning about the material, Xinglai was instantly stunned. The strong interaction material was like a miracle to them.

"Do you know the 'Knum of Heaven' in the mythology of the Gudu civilization?"

After answering his doubts, Pace turned to ask about a myth and legend.

"I know this." Sociologist Fang Yan took the topic naturally.

Long before the field of alien research was officially established in the School of Social Sciences, she was eager to pursue the footprints of alien stars.

In ancient times, pioneers frequently visited Gudu Star, and some of the myths and stories that have been circulated since ancient times also retain their shadow.

Of course Fang Yan will not let go of these clues, especially those extremely special myths.

"The specific age of the story of Khnum in the Kingdom of Heaven is too old to be studied. Before the emergence of murals, language and writing among us Gudu people, we don't know where the related songs began to spread."

"In myths and songs, there is a group of 'gods' who call themselves 'followers'. They are the guardians of this generation of Gudu Star and live in a vibrant world of ice and snow on the other side of the stars."

"After countless years of evolution, the name of the heavenly kingdom Khnum was attached to the seventh planet of the X galaxy."

"I originally thought that the story had been changed beyond recognition when it was circulated, but I didn't expect... that I could actually find it."

Speaking of this, Fang Yan's words brought a hint of disbelief.

The myths and legends of the barbaric period have been iteratively passed down through countless Gudu oral traditions.

With the advancement of civilization, many original "lyrics" have been given new meanings.

In the era of the emergence of astronomy, the location of Knum's star has moved from the illusory world of gods to the real X galaxy.

It's like solving a math problem. The steps of the process calculation are all wrong, but the correct answer is solved by mistake.

It stands to reason that the story will become more and more distorted as it spreads, and it is inevitable that the information will be distorted or secondary creation will cover up the truth.

But the final result is that the negative is the positive and the negative is back to the right path.

Outrageous!
