Harrison Moore, a famous interstellar free explorer, has been passionate about digging relics and pursuing the unknown throughout his life. Although his strength is low, he can always miraculously avoid danger. Over the years, he has discovered countless historical relics and left dozens of books.

His spirit of not being afraid of hardships and having the courage to take risks (trying to die as long as he can't) has attracted a large group of followers in the universe, who regard him as a spiritual leader and a street light in life.

During the World Tree War, Harrison was already old and frail and in a state of semi-retirement. The three major civilizations were discovered and were attacked by the World Tree civilization. They were caught off guard at the beginning and suffered heavy losses. Because they did not know

As for the origin of the enemy, all civilizations that have explored the universe are basically only vulnerable to beatings in the early stages. They are completely on the defensive and can only passively resist the steady stream of invaders. Planets are occupied by the World Tree and are used as nutrients.

The three major civilizations have tried their best to collect clues about the World Tree civilization, the most critical of which is the location of the World Tree itself.

The World Tree itself is a cosmic treasure. The World Tree civilization has already obtained it in the era of farming and fire, so it has formed a twisted form of civilization. All the development of civilization revolves around the World Tree. Countless people have tried their best to nourish and enhance this cosmic treasure.

.

Due to the specificity of the World Tree, only by finding its body can the problem be solved from the root. Otherwise, no matter how many invaders are killed, the World Tree can use the nutrients of countless planets to transform and nurture more armies.

The body of the World Tree is rooted in the secondary dimension world, hidden extremely deep, and is invisible and closed like the former Hades dimension. In that era, basically all the people who had explored the universe were soldiers, and many volunteer explorers organized themselves to go to the secondary dimension.

Dimension Search, Harrison also returned and joined in.

Because of a series of coincidences, he was the first to discover the secondary dimension where the World Tree's body was located. He recorded the dimensional coordinates before sacrificing himself, and was thrown into the space storm of the secondary dimension world.

This coordinate was like a drifting bottle floating in the vast sea, ups and downs, and finally luckily fell into the hands of three major civilizations. As a result, Harrison's deeds were passed down, and the world learned about his achievements.

——These are images of Harrison in later versions of his previous life.

In the current era, Harrison is still just a young and budding explorer. His strong curiosity and desire for adventure prompted him to give up the opportunity to inherit the billionaire fortune of the consortium and resolutely enter this industry with no bright future.

.

As a newcomer to this archaeological exploration team, Harrison's intuition was obviously not very convincing. All the teammates present had the spirit of not missing out... ahem, inquisitive spirit, and unsurprisingly they ignored Harrison's warning.

Harrison had no choice but to suppress his vague worries and continue to follow the team.

A scavenger spacecraft passed through a high-altitude sandstorm, hovered a hundred meters above, and dropped a multi-functional earth-drilling vehicle. The outer armor was covered with colorful and wild graffiti. It was obvious that this group of scavengers with limited education had accepted the guidance.

Art processing.

Everyone boarded the earth-drilling vehicle, followed the instructions of the detection radar, broke through the land, dived all the way, and quickly approached the underground cavity on the map.

Because this kind of underground ruins has existed for too long, the changes in the earth's crust have caused the structure to be extremely unstable, and there is generally a risk of collapse. Therefore, scavengers will not directly drill into the passage from the side. The first choice is to go through the main entrance.

Wow!

Soon, the tip of the drill finally penetrated the rock formation and entered a cavity. All the team members walked down, turned on the searchlight, and observed the surrounding environment.

This is an underground cave with traces of artificial excavation, about seven or eight meters high. At the end of the cave is a closed metal door, which is suspected to be the entrance to this underground ruins.

The short detector trotted over, took out the instrument and scanned the metal door, and muttered: "It is well preserved, with not many signs of rust. This is a high-strength alloy material. According to the rough detection results, this material is synthetic

The technology is at least at the galaxy level, but there is no matching material record in the database..."

After hearing this, everyone became more and more excited. The higher the level of the lost civilization, the more things in the ruins are eligible to be sold on the black market.

However, this also means there are more unknown risks.

"Is there any energy reaction inside?" the captain asked.

"Let me see...well, not at all. The energy here is probably exhausted. Even if there are traps or defensive measures, they will be paralyzed."

"Then let's go in and take a look." The captain ordered: "Everyone be careful later. No one is allowed to lift the shield without my order."

The group of people used lasers to cut open the door, tiptoed in, and groped their way along. The route inside was intricate and the environment looked like a large underground military base.

Harrison walked up to a sign, wiped off the dust on it, and asked the translator to read the words on it. The result was that it was unrecognizable.

"There is no record of this type of writing in the database, and it can be determined that this is the relic of a civilization that has not been discovered so far." Harrison said on the channel.

"Today is such a lucky day. No wonder Axiang finally responded to my daily greetings for several months this morning." The short detector was in high spirits.

"What did she say?" Harrison wondered.

"She said yes."

Harrison: "...Come on."

Everyone was chatting while exploring. They were careful along the way, but found that there was no danger. Then they boldly searched each room, but only found living facilities, no special equipment, and no text documents left. Even the energy source and network host were not found.

There is no more, not even a single defense facility. It looks like this base has long been abandoned and everything has been evacuated.

The excitement in everyone's hearts seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water.

"No way, I found an unknown ruins but didn't get any valuable results. Is it a waste of time?" the short explorer wailed.

"It's not in vain. At least we discovered a new language and an unknown civilization that once existed." Harrison raised the translator in his hand. He had already recorded the text of all the signboards he encountered on the road.

Come down.

"This kind of archaeological results are of no use. Do we really think we are historians?" Some people couldn't help complaining: "Who would want to come to such a ghost place if it wasn't to dig up valuable things."

The scavengers didn't have much discipline, and their patience was quickly exhausted. The search speed became faster and faster, and soon there was only the last room left, located at the core of the bottom of the base.

Everyone opened the door and walked in, breathing together.

I saw a triangle about three or four meters high embedded in the groove in the ground in the center of the room. It was dark and smooth as a mirror. It looked a bit like obsidian, but detection showed that it was a metal material, and there was something on one side.

An embossed piece with a display screen on it.

There is only this thing in the room, nothing else, it's like a private warehouse.

"Haha, I finally got something."

"What is this?"

Everyone gathered around in surprise, touching and knocking here and there. Although they didn't know what this thing was, judging from its appearance, as long as it was packaged, it would not be sold on the black market.

The short detector came to the display screen of the triangle and pressed it a few times, but there was no response. He fumbled a few times and suddenly found a movable board next to the display screen. When it was uncovered, there was a socket, which seemed to be used for charging.

"Hmm... This is the first time I've seen an interface with this shape, but there's nothing wrong with it." The short detector pondered for a moment, then took out the instrument and got busy, and quickly modified a section of energy transmission line to fit the socket.

He was about to charge the triangular device when Harrison, who had been frowning next to him, subconsciously spoke.

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone turned to look at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I...I think it's better to be cautious. No one knows what this device does. What if it's a weapon that runs out of energy?"

Harrison looked hesitant. When he saw the triangle, he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart, as if there was a voice in his heart warning him that this thing was dangerous. His innate intuition had never been so strong.

"Don't worry, I just detected it. This is actually a sophisticated disposable safe device. It will be destroyed when opened. It's just that the innermost layer is made of material to isolate detection. I don't know what is stored there." The short detector did not look back.

said.

As he spoke, he directly inserted the plug into the interface and input a weak energy. The display screen of the triangular device lit up, and a password input interface popped up.

The captain came over and took a look, "Can the code be deciphered?"

The short detector took out another device and tinkered with it for a while, and then said firmly: "The password of this safety device changes in real time. It must be connected to the quantum network and then deciphered using virtual technology... The tools I have now are not good, but

As long as you use a decoding device with higher computing power, you can definitely open it."

"That's it..."

The captain hesitated for a while and said: "Then why don't we open it? You also said that this thing is disposable. If the things stored in it are not valuable, we will lose money, so we might as well just put the safe in

Just enter the black market auction and let others draw the prizes. Anyway, this method is also very common on the black market..."

"Can we discuss this kind of thing later?" Harrison felt uneasy for some reason, "Let's get out of here quickly. I have a bad intuition..."

“When did your gut feel better?”

The captain glared at him, but did not refute his suggestion and called on everyone to transport the device to the drilling rig.

There was only this valuable thing in this ruins. The group left without any nostalgia, took the triangular device and returned to the spacecraft.

Suddenly, one of the team members said thoughtfully:

"It's really strange. It stands to reason that since this planet has the remains of an unknown civilization, there should be other traces. But the detection result is only this one. This is not reasonable. Could it be that that civilization came here?

Only one underground facility was dug on this planet?"

"You're right, I felt a little strange just now." Another person agreed.

At this time, the short detector glanced at the radar screen, exclaimed, and said in surprise: "Captain, the ruins just collapsed!"

Everyone hurried over and took a look. The underground cavity in the picture had been filled in and disappeared without a trace. There was no way to go back.

"really weird……"

The captain muttered, shook his head, and ordered: "Forget it, forget about that for now, mark this planet, and let's go to the nearest black market planet to estimate the price of today's harvest."

Hearing this, everyone did not think too much and took action one after another to drive the spaceship away from the planet.

Harrison was the only one standing in front of the porthole, looking at the planet in his sight that was getting smaller and smaller, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Various signs gave him the feeling that the mission of this strange ruins was to specifically store this triangular device.

And the ruins collapsed immediately after they left, as if they had been silently waiting for outsiders to take it away...

Harrison couldn't help but look back.

In his sight, the triangular device lay quietly in the back cabin, like a Pandora's box waiting to be opened.
To be continued...
