The vibration lasted ten minutes before it stopped. When soshyan carefully walked out of the gate of the mausoleum, he found that they were already in a strange underground space.

"The depth here is..... 6200 meters!"

Looking at the depth indicator, Loken showed a very shocked expression.

"We drilled more than 2000 meters underground."

Soshi raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly, which was beyond the plan. If they were trapped underground for a long time, the war on the ground would not be able to intervene.

You should know that one of the two important tasks of their trip is to launch a surprise attack on the green skin besieging Hades nest from underground to solve the siege of Hades. If they can't return in time, the war situation may deteriorate.

"A company commander divided the scouts into two groups and asked them to investigate both sides of the valley."

When you come to a strange area, the first thing to do is to investigate.

Mark nodded, then stepped down the stairs to gather the temporary scouts composed of veterans, leaving soshyan and Talos in the hall.

"By the way, do you remember what Angelica said about the evidence of ulano's ancient history?"

"Of course, but there are more interesting things. It was inconvenient for me to tell you before."

Sosh raised his eyebrows.

"What did you find?"

Talos also looked back to make sure that no one was eavesdropping. He looked a little suspicious since Angelica was confirmed by him to be alpha's agent.

"One night I went to the great temple of the local machinery sect and found a lot of interesting information in their underground Archives... Don't ask me how I went, I also have my secret. I promise it has nothing to do with sub space."

Soshyan, who was just about to open his mouth, heard that Talos blocked all his words and could only shake his head helplessly:

"I hope you can tell me what you do next time. Anyway, we've been together for so long. Maybe I had some disagreements in the early years, but now I won't look at your past with colored glasses, as long as you don't do anything special in the future."

Talos grinned.

"I'm a little embarrassed by you... Soshyan, I'm always a midnight son. You have to remember that maybe the goal of my action will change, but my way of doing things can't change. This is deeply engraved in my genes."

Then he took out a folding data panel.

"To get down to business, according to some records, it seems that the human colony on ulano was established as early as the 20th millennium, but this record was erased from the catalogue... So whenever they are involved, those indexes point to a non-existent location - an empty storage area."

"I guess you traced the missing document?"

"Of course, but you should understand that I'm not a technical expert. I can only use some waste code to forcibly decipher some encrypted files... In fact, what I found is also related to your pendant."

Hearing this, soshyan took out the pendant on his chest.

"I heard from sevita that your family escaped from the ulano human colony."

Soshyan nodded.

"In fact, mechanists have been looking for traces of this human colony. I found an encrypted communication record 8000 years ago. According to the statement inside, there may be a complete set of STC templates in this colony, which is the reason why they are so crazy and unscrupulous!"

Hearing this, soshyan's eyes flashed. If it was true, then the behavior of mechanical teaching could be explained.

STC system, also known as standard construction template, can be understood as a complex analysis and processing program, including fool's scientific and technological R & D and industrial construction process.

The invention time of the system is unknown, but it is speculated that it should be in the early golden age of mankind.

With the emergence of sub space engine and human mutant "Navigator", human beings can expand beyond the solar system and conquer all planets, and STC system is one of the main factors for human beings to achieve this goal.

STC can enable different human colonists to maintain a relatively standard level of science and technology. This high-tech skill provides colonists with various details of civilization and allows them to use all available local materials to build efficient infrastructure and equipment such as shelters, generators and means of transport without any relevant knowledge.

For example, if the user simply asks about the construction method of the house and tractor, STC will give all the necessary plans and analyze the appropriate materials according to the situation of the planet.

After entering the era of disputes, a large number of STC systems gradually fail and damage with the passage of time, becoming unreliable and incomprehensible.

In some worlds, although they are maintained, due to some program failures, they have derived some wrong scientific and technological creations and created many disasters.

However, the hard copy files of information in STC can be stored longer than the body. Therefore, although the body is damaged, the scientific and technological products that have been manufactured or studied can be copied and passed on from generation to generation, and these are called STC fragments.

The mechanical society, which worships machinery, naturally regards STC as the highest level creation of the mechanical God. The focus of their way of seeking knowledge is the restoration of STC fragments, the use of templates, and even the ancient copies restored from STC are regarded as holy texts. The highest goal of mechanical education is that the ten thousand machine treasure book is known as the prototype of all STC.

A complete STC system is not much worse than the prototype. It is enough for mechanical education to take all actions for it.

After a long silence, soshyan asked:

"What about the green skin? The green skin on the ground suddenly appeared underground, obviously running for something."

"There are a few references to various legends in the data. For example, it seems that the human colony in the past was destroyed by the green skin. According to the logical calculation, if there is a complete STC template, it is very likely to be in the hands of the green skin. It seems that this can explain why the green skin empire was so terrible in those years, but these statements are not true After any verification. "

"Anything else, Talos?"

Soshyan noticed the tone of the prophet and seemed to have reservations.

"I'm not sure... However, I found an excavation record report of the mechanical sect. The report shows that an exploration team went more than 5000 meters underground and found a relic suspected of space dead. However, the relic has been reconstructed on a large scale, and more records have been deleted from the data. It seems that someone wants to eliminate all the information about the green leather Empire during the expedition Material - but this man didn't do well in hiding. "

"They certainly didn't expect to meet a midnight son's investigation."

Soshyan said with a smile.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"Because you will tell others."

Talos shook his head slowly.

"I'm not sure if I can trust him. Don't blame me for my suspicion. If you are used to the intrigue and betrayal in the eyes of fear, you won't easily trust anyone and any so-called brotherhood."

Soshyan looked at him and naturally knew who the prophet was talking about.

If he gets the news, he will indeed find Randall for research at the first time.

He hasn't experienced what Talos has experienced, maybe he can't feel it, but he is willing to understand.

"What about me? Do I have your trust now?"

Talos squinted at him.

"No, you should ask in reverse. Do you trust me?"

They smiled at each other and did not continue the topic.
