I am a fairy

Chapter 289 Human-Making Machine
On the snowy mountain, a group of monsters gathered.

A monster opened its huge "mouth", moved its feet forward quickly, and shoveled away a layer of snow.

Then another group of monsters rushed up and opened a hole in the snow mountain one after another.

It feels like buying a watermelon and cutting a hole in it to see what the flesh inside is like.

"Drip drip drip!"

"Drip drip!"

Several big monsters were lying on the snowy mountain, forming a circle, with the signal lights on their masks flashing continuously.

On the snow slope, the densely packed monsters stopped moving and waited quietly.

The headlights on the heads of several big monsters at the gap shone inside.

The light shines through the ice and penetrates all the way inside.

Through the thick ice, one could vaguely see the shadow of something underneath. That thing was extremely huge, but it was definitely not the mountain itself.

Even the faint shadows give people a feeling like a black hole, as if countless secrets are hidden inside, making people unconsciously want to plunge into it.

More and more information was fed back, and the surrounding monsters began to dig deeper into the ice to find the entrance.

The information gradually became clear, and this place was most likely Kunlun Ruins.

Then the "gods" came.

"Boom!"

Jiang Chao's incarnation jumped down from a great height and landed on the snowy mountain. The large groups of monsters around him made way.

The incarnation was only wearing a simple robe, which clung to the body in the cold wind, but this body did not feel the cold at all.

Jiang Chao walked to the opening and looked at the shadow cast under the spotlight.

"Dome City."

Wangshu appeared out from behind Jiang Chao like a ghost, as if she had always been hiding in his shadow.

She stretched out her hand, and the image and data of the mountain were projected out, which roughly depicted the appearance of the dome city.

However, there are some "unreasonable" aspects.

This mountain is not built on the mountain, nor is it built inside the mountain.

This mountain is very strange. It has no top, or rather, this dome city is the top of the mountain.

Wangshu admired it very much: "In order to build this dome city, they flattened the top of this peak, but it is also normal. If such a huge silicon creature can be created underground, it is too easy for them."

Jiang Chao grasped the key point: "Who are they?"

Wangshu said: "The entrance is right here, maybe you will know if you go in and take a look."

Jiang Chao: "Let's go!"

The demon had found the entrance and cleared it out.

Jiang Chao walked inside along the passage he had built. Looking at the thick layer of ice, Jiang Chao spoke.

"More than two thousand years ago, this place shouldn't have been covered with such thick ice!"

"Otherwise, no one would come in here and get the jade."

Wangshu walked aside, and a large group of magpie monsters around him flew towards inside, making chirping sounds.

These "drones" went in to explore before them, allowing them to obtain information and conditions of the space inside more quickly.

Wangshu controlled the magpie monsters while talking to Jiang Chao.

"Two thousand years ago, this place should have been directly exposed to the public. However, even so, the environment here is too harsh, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach here."

"However, in some valleys of Kunlun Mountain, we have discovered many ruins of civilizations dating back one or two thousand years. These also match Feng Yi's memory."

"This also proves that his memory is not fictitious."

Wangshu has always suspected whether Feng Yi’s memory might be fictitious. After all, judging from herself, she often does such things.

Jiang Chao and Wangshu finally passed through the excavated passage, and a hardened road appeared in front of them, which was obviously created by technology.

Jiang Chao looked at the building structures on both sides. The huge, cold purple steel frame extended upward for dozens or hundreds of meters. It should have been covered with a layer of jade, but now it was all shattered on the ground.

Look closely at the jade, there are Chinese characters on it.

It should be a couplet.

There should be an entrance and exit with a heavy metal gate in front, but now it is open and empty. One can only imagine how this gate uses technology beyond imagination to embody a mythical and classical feeling.

There was darkness ahead, and the eyes of the big demon behind him were shining with divine light, shining inside.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

The divine light pierced through the darkness like a pillar, reflecting an extremely empty space.

Jiang Chao seemed to have expected this, yet was a little disappointed.

If it is still functioning properly, or if most of the facilities are left here, then even after two thousand years, it should still be a fully automated city with an independent ecosystem and full of birdsong and flowers.

To be honest, Jiang Chao had imagined it.

After the gate here was opened, there was indeed a complete city inside, with a large number of people living in it.

Those people ran out and said to Jiang Chao.

"Congratulations on leaving The Truman Show."

Jiang Chao didn't feel scared, he was even a little bit looking forward to it.

But reality is not like that.

Then he walked inside, and the light followed Jiang Chao's gaze and shone everywhere.

Looking down, you can see the ground paved with white "jade" and various jade-related buildings. Looking up, you can see the transparent dome.

Just as the people of the Western Regions and Yutian said, there really is the Ruins of Kunlun here, a city built of precious jade.

But here, jade is not a precious gem, it is just a kind of stone.

Many places do not use only jade, but the structures exposed outside are made of jade.

It is clear.

When this city was originally designed, the intention was to use jade to create a style that resembled a palace in heaven.

More and more big monsters entered it, and the criss-crossing light beams rotated under the dome, making the space under the ice layer brighter and brighter.

Wangshu said as he walked.

"This place should have been a park before. There should have been a water circulation system underneath. There were also artificial underground rivers and canals, but they have all dried up."

"This layout should be a factory. I wonder what it produces. Could it be silicon life?"

"And this side, this should be a residential area, it looks like there are quite a few people here."

"Look at this, this is an energy interface. The entire network has been drained away. I don't know how they transmit their energy."

"This, this..."

Although there was nothing inside, only some basic structures remained, and almost no technology-related equipment was left.

But even so, a huge amount of information can still be analyzed from it.

Jiang Chao could tell that there were people living in this city, and they should be people like him.

Whether it is habits, body shape or cultural customs, they should all have the same origin.

Finally, standing in a huge palace auditorium conference room, Wangshu couldn't help but speak.

“Look, the people here are just like us.”

“When technology develops to a certain level, technology becomes mythology and humans become gods.”

Jiang Chao walked towards the depths of the conference room and auditorium building that was made to look like a heavenly palace, and spoke at the same time.

"For them, it's just a design style, something to illustrate and prove their culture."

“Even if technology develops to a mythical age, the culture and customs passed down from generation to generation will still be preserved and become a kind of beauty that they appreciate and like.”

This is indeed the case, standing in this "Kunlun Fairy Palace".

Even though Jiang Chao was born in the technological age, he still felt an ultimate beauty.

It penetrates into the heart and touches the soul.

He understood this kind of beauty.

Because they come from the same ethnic group and the same origin.

At least he believed that the people who built this place did not intend to recreate the mythological era.

He simply created a building of ultimate beauty that he believed could reflect the cultural heritage of his ethnic group.

Walking along the conference hall, you will reach the deepest high platform, where there are jade beds arranged in a semicircle. It seems that you can imagine that the "gods" of the past gathered on these jade beds, talking about their own ideas or announcing some news.

It looked like gods were discussing the Dao.

They may have already possessed a variety of technologies to extend lifespan, and then gradually move from longevity to immortality.

They have even transcended the original boundaries of "human" in terms of the concept of life and become a group that transcends ordinary imagination.

Jiang Chao sat cross-legged on one of the jade beds and looked at the other jade beds.

The image of people up there appeared in his mind, looking at him one after another.

The light in this fairy palace came from the walls, from the top of the head, and from all directions, turning into pure white.

But soon, everything dimmed and he was the only one left sitting there.

In the distance, beams of light are rotating, bringing ever-changing light.

He should probably have been one of them, but...

"Why am I the only one here?"

There was deep confusion in Jiang Chao's eyes, and he was even more confused about where the people here had gone?
Wangshu: "You seem to have confirmed that this place was built by humans?"

Jiang Chao said: "Who else could it be except humans?"
-
The exploration continued. Wangshu mobilized a large number of monsters to search the Kunlun Ruins inside and out.

At last.

Jiang Chao and Wangshu stood in an underground level near the entrance of Kunlun Ruins. In front of them was a huge machine that looked like a pillar, inlaid with densely packed transparent crystal covers.

This is the only machine that could be found after searching the entire Kunlun Ruins, and after confirmation by Wangshu, it should still be able to function.

Jiang Chao approached the machine, and the closer he got, the larger it seemed.

For a moment, he was reminded of the existence of the hibiscus tree and the phoenix tree.

"So, this dome city is really empty?"

"From inside to outside, this is the only thing left?"

Jiang Chao learned the result, but still found it unbelievable.

It is not a question of whether these people can be moved so cleanly, but why they have to be moved so cleanly. Even the criss-crossing water and electricity networks and various facilities underground have to be pumped out, the large underground facilities have to be dug out, and even the entrance gate has to be moved away.

Even if we are frugal, why should we go to this extent?
But at this time, Wangshu gave a hypothesis, and Jiang Chao even felt that it might be the answer.

"Although only a shell remains, we can still analyze a lot of things. There are a large number of silicon life forms here to maintain the operation of the entire dome city."

"It is even possible that these silica life forms are part of this city. Perhaps this dome city itself is a super-large collective silica life form."

Jiang Chao: "You mean, because they have a large number of silicon life forms, they can easily move everything away?"

Wangshu shook his head: "Imagine, if one day we want to move the entire Tanggu Cave Heaven away, what will happen?"

As soon as Jiang Chao thought about it, he understood why such a situation had occurred in Kunlun Ruins.

Tanggu Cave Heaven is not a dead thing, but a living thing.

Except for some decorations or outer shells, the hibiscus tree, the Great Sun Shrine and various facilities inside, and even the trees, flowers and vines inside, are mostly made up of monsters.

If Tanggu were to move away, and the monsters inside evacuated with him, wouldn't the remaining scene be something like this?
Jiang Chao thought of the door that ran away. Perhaps it was really like this scene at that time.

The golden dragon on the gate began to swim, broke free from its restraints and left Kunlun Ruins, following a group of "gods" to a certain place.

Wangshu approached the large machine that was like a giant pillar and spoke as he walked.

"I even feel that the entire Kunlun Ruins was not moved away, but a shell was left behind."

"It's because of this life machine in front of us, otherwise there might be nothing left here."

That's right.

From building a gene bank of all human races of this era in Kyushu, to finding Feng Yi, a man who was born with knowledge, to obtaining Hetian jade from the Western Regions.

They finally found the machine that "Nuwa created humans".

The densely packed crystal covers on the pillars are artificial wombs that nurture life. Once this machine is turned on, it can give birth to thousands of "people" at the same time.

Jiang Chao observed the machine and then looked around.

There is a space not far away, which looks like a cargo hold, and there is a transportation pipeline on the side that leads directly to the outside world.

Jiang Chao: "Where does the pipeline lead to?"

Wangshu: “Under the ground.”

Jiang Chao: "What's there?"

Wangshu: "We have found traces of that super-large silica life form. I guess that when that silica life form is intact, it should be able to transport the things here to every corner of the continent."

Jiang Chao nodded, he had solved another secret.

Although this secret is extremely important to the race called "human beings" of this era, for him and Wangshu, it seems to be just icing on the cake.

On the contrary, the discovery of another place underground where the super-large silica life existed was more important to them.

They can further explore and find some information they want through this former key connection point.

Wangshu asked him, "Do you want to continue investigating?"

Jiang Chao: "Investigate, investigate where the people here have gone, and investigate what happened during the time we were in hibernation and shut down."

Wangshu: "Should we take this machine back?"

Jiang Chao took a look at the human-making machine and thought of the super-large silicon life form that existed underground.

Finally, he took another look at the Kunlun Fairy Palace.

"Let's build another cave here. Even the structure is complete. We can start using it right away after we perfect it."

"And in the process of reconstruction, we may be able to unlock more secrets and even obtain some key technologies."

Although this is a so-called barren land, the value of this "Kunlun Fairy Palace", the super-large silicon life under the ground, and the human-making machine alone is immeasurable to Jiang Chao and Wangshu.

"Then we can build another cave here. However, transportation here is not very convenient, so we need to open another route."

Wangshu nodded and immediately began to make a plan.

The surrounding monsters began to gather here, and began to build a "blessed land" with this place as the center point and radiating to the surrounding areas.

even.

The plans for the Kyushu Dragon Veins were adjusted because of this, and one of the dragon veins was extended and began to extend towards here.

At this time, the progress bar in front of Jiang Chao's eyes began to flash.

"The remaining Jindan mana is 20%. Please replenish it in time."

Although the reminder set by Wangshu is strange, it is also easy to understand.

Jiang Chao controlled his external incarnation and headed out of Kunlun Ruins.

His mission was temporarily completed. This paradise had not been repaired yet, so he was not needed for the subsequent exploration.

"Tell me, why did they leave behind such a machine after they had completely evacuated?"

Wangshu: "Creating mortals?"

Jiang Chao: "I mean, why not just create a group of real people instead of transforming mandrills into humans?"

Wangshu was not sure either, and said after thinking about it.

"Could it be that there are no real people anymore?"

"That's not quite right. At least it's in the gene pool!"

"Maybe they want to create people who look exactly like humans, but they can't create real humans."

Jiang Chao: "Isn't it contradictory that we want something like a human to exist, but we don't allow humans to be created?"

Wangshu said as a matter of course: "Aren't you people just so contradictory?"
-
On his way back, Jiang Chao passed through the Western Regions again.

It can be seen that the mandrills, who were originally prospecting secretly in various places in the Western Regions, were restricted from traveling in crowded areas during the day, and were tantamount to being exiled.

Now, one after another they have come out from the darkness and are worshipped as gods by mortals.

At first glance, it looks like a turn over.

They began to carry out their various plans openly, walking through cities and tribes. Wherever they passed, people were afraid but not panicked, allowing these demonic beings to do as they pleased.

"Night King God!"

"Meet the Night King."

"The Night King is here. Go meet him quickly."

The "Night King God" carrying the base station came to the Western Regions, and a system of ghosts and gods similar to the shrines and temples in Kyushu began to spread in the Western Regions.

It operates in these Western countries according to its unique culture and characteristics.
