The recording ends here.
There are also some daily complaints in the middle. In Lu Ban's mind, he quickly constructed the image of an upright researcher who likes to eat beef ramen, listen to classical music, is fanatical about research, and also lost his daughter in a disaster.
"bridge?"
Lu Ban compared the contents of the notebook again and was sure that this researcher should be studying how to launch spacecraft into the universe.
However, unlike the outer space aerospace that Lu Ban knew, what he was researching was probably the technology of traveling to foreign lands.
Lu Ban didn't know what kind of disaster the people at that time had suffered, but it was undoubtedly difficult to leave this planet and find a new home in outer space.
Maybe some people were bewitched by the evil gods from foreign lands, and gradually mastered the methods of traveling through foreign lands, or opening the passage between foreign lands and this world, and eventually released the monsters from foreign lands, causing a complete disaster here.
After playing the recording on the tablet to Shuang Xin, the researcher remained silent.
"So... he caused the swarm?"
Frost Heart's expression was somewhat gloomy.
In her opinion, this researcher had always been working with good intentions, just like herself now.
But a good beginning does not necessarily mean a good result.
“Not sure yet.”
Lu Ban shook his head.
It would be biased to determine the truth based on this one record alone.
He searched the building again, turning on each electronic device one by one, and only found a partial map of the park.
Following the map, Lu Ban and Shuang Xin arrived at the Biological Research Institute.
This place was even more severely damaged, with almost no buildings on the ground.
But Lu Ban discovered that the underground part here was even deeper.
He took the crowbar and cleared his way down the stairs, with Frostheart following behind him.
It was pitch black down there. Lu Ban wrote "glow" on a stone and held it in his hand. The light shone, revealing an ancient and mottled staircase.
Walking down, Lu Ban found that this place was more completely preserved. Perhaps because it was underground and had not been weathered by wind and sand, the slogans on the wall could be seen.
[Save humanity, no time to lose]
[In the face of disaster, every second counts]
[This is a minute you waste, and it is also a minute for humanity to perish]
It's quite depressing and suffocating.
In the underground laboratory, there are only some broken glass containers, which makes people wonder what these containers once contained.
Lu Ban also saw a room with many beds, like a ward.
He and Shuangxin came to the third underground floor, which looked like a research office, with corroded filing cabinets and computers.
Lu Ban followed suit and turned on the computer. The fluorescent screens from hundreds of years ago used up their last bit of strength to display the pictures and texts.
[Third report... about genetic modification, a plan to adapt humans to a drastically changing environment... the causes of climate change, future developments, land survey reports...]
[A research report on the effects of a special mineral on the human body... It is reported that most patients exposed to radiation from this substance have developed certain distortions. Currently, research on these distortions has not been conducted in depth...]
[Distortion case record 1. The patient was exposed to three hours of radiation. The specific manifestation was that the pupil color of both eyes changed, and crystalline precipitation could be observed. After testing, the patient was able to see through a fifty-millimeter-thick wall...]
[Regarding the effects of artificial distortion, after testing, we found obvious rejection reactions, manifested in the rapid failure of body organs and damage to the brain...]
Most of these documents are about studying the radiation of a certain mineral to the human body and the diseases and deformities caused by it.
This is easily reminiscent of the crystallization disease that everyone in the wasteland suffers from today.
According to the history now circulating in the wilderness, the prevalence of this disease was the main cause of human extinction.
But according to these documents, crystal disease is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Of course, no one knows where the initial radioactive ore came from, but subsequent research and human experiments were all done by humans.
Researchers tried to use these minerals to transform the human body so that humans could adapt to a changing environment, but they did not expect that this transformation would lead to a shorter lifespan and more disasters.
It can be said that if these minerals are the magic box thrown by the devil to humans, then the one who opens it is humans themselves.
“How could it be…”
Frostheart found it unbelievable.
She has always believed that crystal disease, like the insect swarm, is a disaster from nature.
But now, both of these may be caused by humans themselves.
For her, it felt like her three perspectives had collapsed.
Lu Ban is still acceptable.
This is not the first time that humans have brought destruction upon themselves.
In various literary, film and television works, there are tens of millions of ways to destroy the earth.
Moreover, in a world like the alien world, those worlds that develop normally and are not polluted are hard to say that they are not coveted by other alien worlds. Just like the alien worlds like the deep sea, foggy city, and dusk city, they probably dream of invading other alien worlds and developing colonies.
The most unlucky thing in the wasteland is probably that it is being targeted by two aliens at the same time.
Perhaps it was the malicious intent of other alien lands, or perhaps it was just the evil god's random attack. The radioactive ore was a kind of pollution, and the bridge connecting the alien lands was also a kind of pollution.
The human race in this world fell apart under the tide of pollution, civilization was destroyed, and in the end, only the "new humans" who adapted to pollution survived.
The history of the wasteland that Lu Ban knows now is a complete history of destruction, adaptation, and rebirth of a polluted alien land.
However, Lu Ban was not sure whether the current wasteland could be considered a rebirth.
The existence of Crystal Disease has caused the world's technological and cultural development to stagnate, and the existence of the Zerg has caused the wasteland to accelerate towards complete destruction.
In a few hundred years, the world will probably be nothing but sand, with no life left.
Lu Ban and Shuang Xin continued forward and came to a relatively well-preserved building near the rocket launch pad.
The sign hanging here says Command Center.
The two went upstairs, checked, and soon found a document from the electronic device.
[Report and summary on several solutions to current global disasters]
Lu Ban opened it.
[…Currently, rare natural disasters have occurred around the world. In the past three months, more than ten volcanoes have erupted, including two level six volcanoes and one level seven volcano…]
[…Two Category 16 typhoons formed on the ocean surface, more than 50 countries and regions will be affected…]
[…A disease is spreading among crops, and global corn and wheat production is now expected to decrease by 90%…]
[…Affected by this incident, more than 20 countries and regions have fallen into a state of anarchy. Currently, international humanitarian relief work has been unable to be carried out…]
[…A magnitude 9 earthquake hit the West Coast, affecting more than a million people and displacing tens of millions…]
Before the report, there was a report on disasters. It was hard for Lu Ban to imagine that so many rare disasters could happen in such a short period of time.
He seriously suspected that there might be some other chosen one from another alien world who summoned the evil god or released some seals in this world.
Looking through these disasters, any one of which could cause the world's population to be reduced by half, Lu Ban saw the subsequent countermeasures.
