Chapter 62： The truth seven hundred years ago (1)

Times have changed, with each passing day, and power has been reshuffled many times. Some families have stood still, but some surnames have turned into historical dust. As the political power center of the entire empire, Eve City has new changes every day. As a gathering of powerful and powerful people, Dongcheng District is experiencing welcome and delivery every day. Some new people live in and enjoy a rich and willful life, and some old people leave sadly. People make room.

There are only six major families who can live here for a long time in the past seven hundred years, and among these six major families, Gustav, who is a veteran political family, has a large manor-style building with more than 50 acres of land in Dongcheng District. Group, five times the size of the old Daltons.

Ordinary family members live in small apartments of 40 to 50 square meters in high-rise buildings. As a powerful person, they can own spacious mansions, huge courtyards, beautiful gardens, etc.

Of course, Auston and Lane, who enjoy all this, are not qualified to criticize anything, but they can change the inclination of resources caused by class solidification.

This is another story. Now, let's talk about the land under Ryan's feet.

Seven or eight hundred years ago, Eve was not the capital city. At that time, the capital city was Adam, but due to geographical and political reasons, Adam was abandoned, and Eve came to the fore. At that time, Qin Feng was not the president, and his cousin Qin Hao was just intelligence. As a small clerk in the department, the two seized the opportunity to buy a piece of land on the outskirts of Eve and built some houses. Later, Eve became the capital city, Qin Feng became the president, and moved into the Presidential Palace. The house was left to Qin Hao's family to live in, but Qin Feng would go there from time to time to live there.

There is a large basement under the house. Qin Feng has a full set of experimental equipment here to ensure that he will not be disturbed by others to do his research. Here, he made the world's first diode for mecha and transferred it to The large amount of heat generated during the operation of the mecha ensures that the mecha can operate for a long time; the first set of mecha exoskeleton, after many adjustments and improvements by others, was equipped in the melee troops; the problem of the mecha nerve center was solved for the first time , so that the mecha has a mechanical heart; the first compressed energy block is made, and the mecha has a power source...

All this is not a secret among the high-level empires. Almost everyone knows that the basement below the Qin family is the cradle of the empire's cutting-edge technology.

Shortly after Qin Feng's death, the Qin family fell.

"I heard from my father that the great-great-grandfather had gone through many ups and downs when he bought this land, and the Bromfields were the biggest competitor. I bought the house from my father. During Sera's tenure, he also mentioned to me that he was willing to exchange a 20-acre piece of land in Dongcheng District, and he was willing to give one billion stars." Auston said: "Dad did not Agreed, neither did I. When my great-great-grandfather bought this place, he said that it was an old house and could not be sold. My father and I both suspected that the secret of the Qin family was hidden here. Got it."

Although Auston and his son did not agree to sell it, there were always people in the family who turned their arms and elbows outward, thinking that the family was occupying the old house, and it would be better to sell it to the clan to share the money and improve the lives of everyone. The family handed down by the great-great-grandfather and brothers has never dealt with the Auston family, envy and jealous of the same surname Dalton, why their family is a general, living in a mansion, eating and drinking spicy food, and they have to live in a crowded high-rise building, Fart for fear of bullet wounding others.

The conflicts within the family will be discussed later, but the current affairs will be discussed first.

When Ryan had to know that the Dun family's old house was built on the ruins of the Qin family, he felt a lot of embarrassment and a lot of emotion. The fate between him and Auston was really inextricable.

Lane thought for a while and asked Auston, "Is the Qin family's former basement still there?"

"I don't know if it belongs to the Qin family, but there is indeed a basement under the main house."

Ryan asked, "Take me there."

Auston didn't hesitate, "Okay."

The entrance to the basement is under the main stairs of the main house, open the short door, the dark space looks more like a storage room for piling sundries, and there is a dull smell that has not seen the sun all the year round and slowly overflows. After waiting for a while, Auston walked in first, fumbling on the wall for a while, he turned on the wall lamp, and it was bright inside. He was about to call Ryan to come in, but found that Ryan was standing beside him at some point. He looked thoughtfully at the aisle.

Da da da-

Two footsteps with different weights came from behind. They were Yuan Chu and Code Zero. They also came in to join in the fun, and Auston did not stop them.

"There are two doors in the basement." Allston walked straight to a landscape painting.

After entering the small door, there is a small space that is two meters high, five meters long, and three meters wide. There are many oil paintings on the walls, all of them landscape paintings. The protagonist of the paintings is the Dolan River, the mother river of Eve City - different angles, different Season of the Dolan River. At first glance, it is almost indistinguishable.

Auston pressed on the frame of a painting, and with a humming sound, the painting opened, revealing the iris lock behind it. Auston blinked at the camera, and after the machine scan confirmed, the ground under their feet began to move and sink as a whole.

After sinking for a while, Ryan raised his head and looked up. He was already four meters and thirty meters away from the small glowing space full of oil paintings. He was able to report the numbers so accurately.

clatter!

Bang!

With two dull sounds, the steel plate under his feet touched the ground, followed by the humming of current flow, the lights were bright, and a basement of more than 100 square meters appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. The walls of the basement are made of silver and black metal, and there are many metal shelves on which various items are neatly placed, just like the Dalton family feels—rigorous, rigid, restrained and orderly.

"After my father passed away, the ownership of this place belongs to me. I have been here many times, and I have looked through the family history and found nothing useful."

As for what he and his father guessed, there was nothing special under the house, and they had never found it. There is no basement, and no results were found after other investigations. It seems that the great-great-grandfather's advice to protect the old house was just a disguised request for the inheritance of the Dalton family.

"The great-great-grandfather left a lot of notes. Maybe I didn't read it too carefully. Basically, there is no content related to what happened 700 years ago." After listening to the content of the diode recording and broadcasting equipment, Auston had two bold guesses , First, the great-great-grandfather did not know the truth, and second, he knew it, but put it in a place where future generations could not easily find it.

When he came back this time, Auston thought about looking for it in the house. Maybe there was a small corner that he had never discovered before.

"Original," Ryan shouted. "You check the basement."

Originally, "Yes, sir."

Auston frowned slightly, "Are you suspicious of hiding behind the wall?"

"Well, there is this guess." His laboratory was four or five meters underground.

Auston loosened his brows and nodded, "But I have scanned it with equipment, and there is no response."

"Then let Yuan Chu try, maybe you can find something."

"Well, that's the only way to go. I really want to know what secrets the great-great-grandfather is hiding, why he bought the Qin family's house, and why the Bromfield family cares so much about my house." Too many doubts In Auston's heart, he felt that all the questions would point to an answer, right in his own house. As long as the secret room is found, all problems will be solved.

and…

Auston looked at Ryan, feeling a little dazed in his heart. He opened his mouth to ask something, and the original calm and unwavering voice came: "There is something abnormal here."

The small mecha designed by Ryan is quite comprehensive and has a professional exploration function. I saw Yuan Chu raised his arm, a round hole appeared in his palm, a probe emerged from the round hole, shot out a beam and began to scan the entire basement, ten minutes later, Yuan Chu found on the wall ten o'clock from where they landed. exception.

"The ductility of this sheet metal is not the same as anywhere else."

Auston raised his eyebrows in surprise. Originally, he was able to do this. The equipment he used before was still not comprehensive enough. "Originally, let's see if the metal plate can be disassembled."

"Good general."

When Auston and Lane got to the original place, he had already started cutting the metal plate with a laser. The dazzling color made the two narrow their eyes. When they opened it, a metal plate the size of a palm was about one meter five from the ground. It had been cut open and fell to the ground.

Behind the metal plate is a gene lock, and after being activated, there is a text prompt - descendants of the Qin family.

Auston looked at Ryan, and Ryan was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable, maybe everything had already been arranged.

"Auston, stand by my side, I don't know how the door will appear later."

Auston nodded, walked over to Ryan, and watched as Ryan pressed his finger on the keyhole of the genetic lock. This genetic lock, which was installed hundreds of years ago, seems to be not advanced enough now. It's a blade, the wound caused is a bit large, and the wound is not sprayed with liquid bandages. As far as Ryan's feeling is concerned, it still hurts a little, but it's completely within the tolerance range.

The blood entered the keyhole, and the old instrument was activated for the first time after it was installed. It made a buzzing sound. The analysis time was a little long. After ten minutes, it was prompted that the blood sample met the requirements, and the door was about to open.

There is nothing unusual about the way the door appears, that is, a gap in the door frame suddenly appears on the metal wall that is tightly seamed.

With Yuan Chu there, there was no need for Auston and Ryan to do anything at all. The door was pushed open, and the basement that had been sealed for more than 700 years was seen again.

Sure enough, as Lane expected, all the experimental equipment, the scraps that appeared when the mecha failed to manufacture, or the various notes and notebooks that recorded experiences and experiences, all disappeared, and the useful ones disappeared. There were some instruments he didn't know on all sides, and in the middle was a long metal table with boxes stacked on it. Ryan was a little disillusioned. He took out the key from his grandma's drawer from his pocket. This old guy and grandma don't need to keep it well, because it's unnecessary, and it will be beyond recognition in seven hundred years.

In the past, the entrance to the laboratory had no high-tech devices at all. In order to facilitate entry, an ordinary lock was installed, and the metal key was inserted and turned to open it. At that time, Qin Feng Anderson was so confident and arrogant, so calm and fearless, that he never thought that betrayal would be so easy and his methods were so clumsy.

Ryan sighed in disappointment, "Alas."

Auston felt that Ryan's mood fluctuated strangely after he knew that the old house of Dalton's family was built on the basis of Qin's house, but Ryan never said anything. He suppressed his doubts and didn't do anything about it. follow up.

When the secret room was opened, the exhaust system inside began to operate. The air that had been dull for more than 700 years flowed again, the lights were bright, some old instruments began to operate, and a figure appeared in the open space, wearing a black suit, with the same appearance Auston is somewhat similar, as Lane remembers James Dalton, Auston's great-great-grandfather.

"Hello, descendants of the Qin family." The figure began to speak. This is the projection of the great-great-grandfather who stayed here. It can't communicate. It just explained things seven hundred years ago. "If you were able to find this place, you must have started to trace the truth of the year, and you have become friends with my children, if this house is still the Dalton family. I installed a self-destruction device here, if it is not opened by the descendants of the Qin family. The secret room, this video and some of the equipment inside will be destroyed, then…”

The man who looked even colder than Auston sighed in disappointment. With his gray temples, he was not much different from what Ryan remembered, but the gray hair, the wrinkled eyes and forehead, and the slightly haggard expression showed that. At this time, the man has reached his twilight years.

"During the Battle of Dawn, I drove a starship to fight side by side with the emperor. The new Insect Emperor urgently needed to establish his prestige in the group. Acting impulsively gave us the opportunity to lure him into appearing. Hundreds of years of fighting will subside, and mankind will be able to achieve true peace."

With the description of the projection, the surrounding space disappeared, and the video of the Battle of Dawn was presented in the form of holographic projection. It was the picture taken by the starship driven by James Dalton. In the field of vision, the first real machine A is not far away. Surrounded by a large number of Zerg, these insects are the elite of the Zerg - shaped like aliens, standing and moving, with wings on their backs, their heads are covered with thick helmet-like insect shells, and sharp teeth are protruding in their mouths. They are very large, each of which is the size of a blue whale on the mother planet of the earth. They are all male insects, and they are the "husbands" of the insect king. When they mate with the insect king, they can give birth to the elite of the insect race and the grand duke of the insect race (the reserve of the insect emperor). ).

The Insect King is huge, and the mecha is not as big as its eyes.

This is the core area of ​​the Battle of Dawn.

Auston's eyes widened slightly. Compared with the Zerg Emperor, he was just a young child when he was driving the Zerg Grand Duke whose code name was Zero Doubt.

"James, I vomited blood."

"President!"

"Don't worry about me, everyone will have this day. I have long put my life and death aside in the battle against the insect emperor, but I didn't expect to die at the hands of my own people."

"President, when you come back, the Chinese people don't often say, 'Leave the green hills without worrying about no firewood', we will have a long-term plan when you come back."

"You and I both know, ahem, there is only one chance to lead it out. It can only succeed, not failure. Cough, damn, it turns out that the vomiting blood is like this. What kind of poison is it? It hurts in the chest."

"I beg you."

"James, you lead people to retreat and exit the Wilden Star Field!"

"Do not."

"This is an order, you have to get out of your body, investigate clearly, who did it, who poisoned me, find him, and send him down to meet me. Gustav? Broomfield? Or Who else, kill them, ahem, it hurts so much! My brother, I won't be able to fight with you in the future. Let's go!!"

James Dalton endured the pain and issued an order, all the starships retreated, and only the conversation between him and Qin Feng was sealed. In the field of vision, the mecha is gradually shrinking... The insect king is also shrinking sharply... The army of insects is chasing the fleet, and the fast insects jump on the starship and continue to bite the shells of some starships. Some starships are unfortunately in the process of retreating. Suffering, the soldiers in the starship activated the self-destruction device at the last moment of their lives, and the crackling sound appeared with the firelight.

Suddenly, the projection sound was muted, and I don't know where the problem was with the equipment.

The war went on silently, not diminished by the lack of sound. Besieged starships opened their cabins, and melee soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons, space suits, and weapons appeared, fighting against insects of different sizes, one after another. A young life disappeared, and more warriors stood up.

It is tragic and tragic, which cannot be described in a few words in any history textbook.

Ryan and Auston's chests were full of unspeakable shock. They didn't dare to blink at the holographic projection, as if they were standing on the field, holding their breaths and holding their clasped hands firmly.

In the end, the army broke free from the main battlefield, without the joy and joy of surviving, and the grief of losing a comrade and the president still in the core war zone permeated everyone's heart.

Suddenly, a huge fire appeared from the core area of ​​Weldon. It was Qin Feng Anderson's self-exploding mecha. The huge shock wave came from a distance. The starships that had left the main battlefield were affected, and some small starships disintegrated on the spot. .

There was a loud crack and the sound came back.

James Dalton loudly ordered, "All starships back, back!" There was a tremor in his voice, obviously shocked by the scene in front of him.

A deep voice sounded with excitement. It was the last message sent by Qin Feng Anderson before the self-destruction, but there was a delay due to the long distance, and it was only received now, "Haha, James, you are about to see the original It's amazing. Tell the world that the first mecha is called Yuan Chu, his AI is growing, his learning ability is very strong, and it is perfect. His name should be passed down through the ages! James, my good brother, I have derived Yuan Chu. My AI, maybe it can rush out from the core through the shock wave of the explosion, and when the war is over, you can come and find it, haha, let it live in my place and watch the world..."

"Yuanchu!" Hearing this name, Auston's heart was as shocked as seeing the emperor's self-destruction. He turned his head to look at the small mecha standing beside him, and then looked at Ryan, something exploded in his mind, and his mind was confused. , he wanted to catch it, but found that all his thoughts were like a baa beast being chased by Dafu, unable to piece together.

James Dalton's projection retracted the video from the Battle of Dawn, and he said solemnly: "In the Battle of Dawn, we have lost too many brothers and lost President Qin Feng Anderson, who led us forward. , but when we returned to the rear full of exhaustion, what awaited me was not grief and sadness, but a power reshuffle, and those who used to advance and retreat together began to divide the fruits of victory. Rescue the president and other decisions, I was sent to a military court, temporarily revoked from my post, lost control of the Golden Crusade, and could not enter the core of power. The latter things happened too fast, Tyrell became a traitor, Li Minghao It was pointed out that Tyrell had secretly stored drugs/drugs to poison the emperor. Without further investigation, the court sentenced Tyrell to death and hanged him in public. Stark and Qin Hao tried their best to give Tyrell a chance to defend himself and identify the emperor. There was an inside story about the poisoning, but it was ignored."

The projection was silent for a while, and continued: "Everything is going in the worst direction, who gets the most benefit from it, hehe, it turns out that the people who keep saying that justice, equality, and the rule of law are the biggest villains. I..."

The video turned out to be muted again, and this time it was not good for a long time, and the projection was distorted and deformed. After all, hundreds of years old equipment could not withstand the erosion of the years, and it was about to be unsustainable.

Ryan strode to the projection equipment and stepped on a screaming chicken in the middle. It was estimated that it fell out of the glove box. James Dalton, who left, did not see it. This thing is of good quality. After being stepped on and screaming, it is not broken, and it screams lingering.

Ryan turned off the projection equipment and looked carefully, "It should be repaired, give me some time."

Auston hesitantly bent over to pick up the bright yellow screaming chicken, a toy popular from the ancient earth to the present. It is said that there has not been any change in the shape, and even the screaming sound is the kind that the ancestors have heard. .

"Lane."

Ryan, who was burying his head in checking the projection equipment, "Huh?"

Auston opened his mouth, his thoughts were very confused, and he didn't know how to ask for the time being.

Ryan found that there were no tools at hand, the projection equipment could not be repaired temporarily, and what message James Dalton left, there is no way to know now. And he has never touched the model of this mecha. It would be great if he could find the manual. He rummaged on the table in the room, and there were many boxes stacked on it. , Qin Hao and his family.

He picked up a harmonica with some nostalgia. When he was in the army, he learned the harmonica from an old soldier. He would play a song on the harmonica against the sunset. Sometimes Dalton stood beside him, sometimes Tyrell, they all They are their good brothers, and they can trust their backs to their good partners.

"These things used to be mine." Suddenly, Ryan decided not to keep secrets anymore. He wanted to tell Auston about his glorious years. Although he did a lot of stupid things, he finally had something to say. of. "I can play the harmonica and the piano, and I have taught several children in Qin Hao's family. Those little guys are hyperactive like their fathers, have no artistic skills, and have not learned a single one. The grand piano in their home has become a Decorations, only I play once in a while."

Ryan looked at Auston, a little nervously, and looked at him expectantly, "Do you mind if your lover has the memory of a previous life?"

Auston's voice was a little dry, and he asked, "Your previous name?"

"Qin Feng Anderson."

"Ah!" A sharp, non-human cry.

Auston, whose face was sinking like water, unconsciously exerted force on his hands, and the screaming chicken was strangled by Destiny's stomach, making a tragic cry, just like Auston's mood.
