Resurrection Empire

He waited for the hot melt cut to cool, and he climbed in.

The traditional radar in the scanner is finally unobstructed and can look straight down.

A super-long passage extending down to the ground, more than ten kilometers long, appeared in his armor information modeling.

After activating the anti-gravity engine and the magnetic suction module of the foot armor, Ren Zhong began to dash down perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

After about eight kilometers, he stopped.

A horizontal spur appears next to the circular passage.

Ren Zhong looked at the radiation index that was gradually rising, and decided to turn around and enter the branch line.

Walking forward about 300 meters along the horizontal branch line, Ren Zhong saw an elliptical cylinder nearly [-] meters long.

The elliptical cylinder space is filled with a lot of small and medium-sized equipment that has been artificially destroyed.

Ren Zhong stepped forward to investigate one by one, and began to speculate on its function in his mind.

In the 21st century, Dr. Ren's top thesis was in the field of biology, but his ability in environmental protection is also not bad.

Those who study environmental protection, the biggest feature is that they know all kinds of things, and they need to know a little bit about any industry, but they don't need to be proficient in everything.

Thanks to his previous degree and academic ability in environmental engineering, he has even visited various types of enterprises on the spot.

Among them is the steelmaking plant. He knows what the equipment in an ordinary steelmaking plant looks like.

Firstly, the Armored Assistant Brain was used to perform the restoration calculation, and the "before death" appearance of these destroyed equipment was roughly outlined. Ren Zhong felt familiar at first, and then clapped his hands fiercely, saying to himself, "This is a steel factory!"

Although the specific principles of the equipment must be different from those on Earth, due to similar functions, they are somewhat similar in form.

Ren Zhong also found several nameplates on the wreckage of the equipment.

He accurately identified three types of equipment, namely electric furnace, ladle, and mold casting equipment.

The functions are similar, and the overall shape looks similar, but due to the difference in materials and energy supply methods, the size of the equipment is quite different.

These devices are very pocket-sized on the earth, and it is theoretically impossible to work.

But here, obviously, they do the job.

In addition, there are some special equipment that I don't know, presumably used for purification.

In short, this is an ultra-small mineral refining workshop.

Yang Bingzhong's private mining project does not only include mining, but also includes small-scale rough processing.

Ren Zhong walked around the workshop and was a little surprised.

He saw no dead bodies or human clothing.

Until he came to the end of the workshop, he found a door.

Push open the door, in front of you is a hemispherical space with a diameter of about 20 meters.

A solid dome forms the upper part of the hemispherical space.

There is no alloy structure under the hemispherical space, it looks like black soil.

Ren Zhong jumped down.

His combat boots stepped on the ground and sank a little.

The ground looked soft, and black water seeped out.

A strong rancid smell began to flow from his nostrils, and Ren Zhong silently turned off the outer air circulation of the armor and switched to the inner circulation.

Turning on the analyzer, Ren Zhong knew what these were.

Broken braids of various incomplete burns.

He found the dumping ground.

right here.

At least [-] people from Xinghuo Town were buried here.

Ruin beasts like to eat people, and they also like metal.

For barren people, market beasts are both prey and hunters.

But for Yang Bingzhong, Ruin Beast is the best accomplice.

Thanks to Ruins Beast helping to destroy corpses and traces, this place will never be full.

It's a pity that Ruin Beast is not interested in clothing and other things.

Over the years, although there were no corpses piled up here, the clothes and other personal belongings of the hard laborers were piled up as relics.

Yang Bingzhong chose to burn them regularly.

God knows how huge and what kind of air circulation system he built here.

Ren Zhong walked on the black ashes, and then used the mechanical arm installed on the armor to dig a little bit of the ground.

From top to bottom, the braids in the ashes show age differences.

The incompletely burned clothing fragments at the bottom were at least ten years old. Although they had not been completely burned, they had been degraded to a great extent by microorganisms, and they were broken into powder the moment they were dug out.

As for the top one, although it is damaged, the remaining fragments look brand new.

Ren Zhong walked slowly without saying a word.

He tried hard to control his mood.

After a long time, he made a new decision.

Considering that the family members of the team members might appear here, such as Wen Lei's missing parents, Yu Jin's father, Ou Youning's mother, etc., he decided to search carefully to see if he could find any related relics.

Then when the time is right, he will be able to show these to the team members, so that everyone can have something to trust in their hearts.

Ren Zhong returned to the center of the hemispherical space, turned on the improved scanner on the armor, and adjusted it to the highest power.

Electromagnetic scanning, ultrasonic scanning, low-power X-ray scanning and other multiple instruments repeatedly swept this space.

First, a rough outline of the stereographic projection is formed, and the precision is continuously increased.

After two full hours, his armored auxiliary brain finally built a complete model with the support of the continuously collected information.

Objects of various materials are stacked together, and the model looks so colorful that it is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

"Eliminate cotton and linen."

More than half of the things in the model are missing.

"Eliminate..."

Another half less.

"Removes live organic matter."

There is still a small part missing in the model, it should be something like underground insects.

Dots of objects are floating.

This time, the model looks like a hollow galaxy.

"Focus on marking objects with regular shapes and artificially cut corners."

Some stars in the Milky Way light up.

Ren Zhong began to search frantically like a real trash guy.

An hour later, he piled up a pile of objects half a person's height in the corner of the hemispherical space.

In the pile of objects are some plastic ornaments, unburned paper, broken resin glasses, rubber shoes...

Turning on the searchlight, Ren Zhong looked down at the half-burned square piece of paper in his hand, and fell into silence.

This is a yellowed photo.

The photos were not buried on the bottom level, but on the top level.

Next to it, there is a standard radiation protection suit that is much more upscale than other clothes at first glance.

The radiation protection suit was very new, with no trace of microbial degradation, and the unburned parts still smelled clean and tidy.

This photo should have appeared in a pocket watch, paired with Wen Lei's pocket watch.

But now, the metal pocket watch should have been swallowed by Ruin Beast, leaving only the photo.

In the photo, a little girl is smiling brightly.

She has bronze skin and white teeth.

There is still half a strong arm beside the girl.

She is Wen Lei's childhood friend - Ai Jiashan.

Legend has it that she made the class leap ten years ago when she was adopted by a high-ranking citizen.

She is also the only desolate person in Xinghuo Town who has become a citizen in the past ten years.

Wen Lei once said that he didn't know what Ai Jiashan's talent was.

But Ren Zhong got the answer.

She must be a bright girl, too, with some talent for mining or smelting.

She should be an upper-middle-level manager here.

She lived in the dormitory area of ​​the middle cavity for ten years, and was murdered not long ago.

Ren Zhong sighed and put the photos into the storage box.

Obviously, Ajiashan is both a victim and one of the accomplices in this massacre, even if that is not her original intention.

Look back and find a suitable opportunity to tell Wen Lei the bad news.

It's just that Ren Zhong lied to Wen Lei back then, saying that he had dealt with Ai Jiashan in the Internet world.

He probably still has to patch up the lie.

Ren Zhong searched for a long time.

Unfortunately, he was unable to find any other relics related to the team members.

Maybe, but he couldn't really tell.

But he found a complete five-inch photo of the two of them in the inner pocket of a high-end uniform.

The death time of the owner of the uniform is exactly the same as that of Ajiashan, and it is the same batch.

In the photo, a man and a woman are standing side by side, smiling very sweetly.

Ren Zhong recognized this woman as Tang Shuying.

But Tang Shuying in the photo looks younger than she is now, it should be taken when she was in her twenties.

Ren Zhong put the photo in his arms and returned to the ground.

He didn't go to the bottom mining area.

Although the ore over there has been excavated, there must be residual radiation.

Although his anti-radiation external armor has excellent performance, the radiation from foreign minerals is no small matter.

Ren Zhong was not sure whether he would be in danger if he rashly probed.

Seeing this, it is enough to confirm the authenticity of the whole thing and introduce the complete context.

……

Day 49, morning.

Ren Zhong was leading a team to hunt, and Ma Xiaoling sent him a message.

"There is something new."

Ren Zhong: "What?"

Ma Xiaoling: "According to the original plan. I should have a fight with you this evening, right?"

"Yes. After today's quarrel, I'll go to Manager Ju's villa to sleep. When I go hunting tomorrow, you will block the door and beat me up."

Ma Xiaoling: "But just now, a marginal person in my guard who didn't pay much attention to me mysteriously approached me and sent me an information package. He also reminded me that you are not a good match."

Well, Ren Zhong knew what was in the file package without even asking.
