In the following days, the arrival of archaeologists and the automatic machines that assisted in the exploration made the already orderly exploration of the ruins progress rapidly. Countless artifacts that may reveal the secrets of the giant civilization were unearthed one after another, and the situation seemed to be developing in a favorable direction.
The numerous clues scientists have uncovered from these ancient artifacts all point to the necessary conditions for a highly advanced civilization, such as high-performance computers, advanced, fully automated industrial production lines, or miniaturized nuclear fusion reactors. While the material composition of these objects differs significantly from current technology, their structures have nonetheless provided scientists with some insights.
On March 15th, explorers first encountered the boundary of the void and deduced its two centers. In fact, the void, when projected from above, resembled an ellipse, with a structure similar to that of a fish oil capsule. The giants' technological creations were also concentrated at the two centers of the ellipse, with the edges being flat terrain like farmland.
The experienced Ning Weihe had anticipated this, so he wasn't as surprised or excited as the other specialists. He was silent for a moment after hearing the news, then regained his usual serious composure. He was currently in the control room, unable to leave for the front lines. So, he asked his colleagues, "Have the two centers been assigned? Are there any suitable candidates?"
"There's Luo Yi, the apprentice of Comrade Huang from our school. The other one will probably be handed over to the Academy of Sciences. They say they're interested in training the younger generation. Young people today are so lucky! Back then, we had to risk our lives to make it!"
"How is Huang Jiyuan's health? Does anyone know?" Ning Weihe asked.
"Rumor," the man lowered his voice. "I heard he didn't have more than two years to live. He shouldn't have touched those irradiated mutants."
"What's the good of living a long life? Well, many people I knew before are gone. It's really boring to be single." said another.
"It's just the lament of a short-lived person!" someone interrupted.
"Alright, alright, stop joking!" Ning Weihe stopped their ominous remarks in time. "Given the time, they should have gained something. Keep a close eye on them and make sure nothing unexpected happens. I'm going to retire in a few years, don't let my reputation be ruined!"
This alien relic obviously did not have the strange mechanisms in tomb-raiding novels. A few minutes later, the planned accidents naturally did not occur. The routine reports sent by the two teams heading to the center point for exploration heated up the atmosphere on the scene.
Thousands of kilometers away, two towering towers, over 60 million years old, stand straight through the void, supporting billions of tons of weight above. Compared to the volume of the void, their diameters resemble two upright chopsticks. Yet, this seemingly fragile structure has penetrated the barriers of time, demonstrating the immense strength of this prehistoric civilization.
Below the tower, countless pitch-black obelisks stand, revealing a sense of absurd sadness.
What are they?
This is the question that lingers in everyone's mind.
More exploration reports came in like snowflakes, and people began to understand those strange structures from a few words.
The towers are approximately 30 kilometers in diameter and rise about 15 kilometers above the "ground." Their internal structure is complex, appearing to be a composite structure. Their surfaces appear smooth, metallic, and show no signs of oxidation, while their interiors show traces of various ionization reactions.
The obelisks have a spectral response similar to that of iron, and their structure is so loose that they will almost crumble to dust if touched. Their bases are squares with an area of 2 square meters, and the base edges are so precise that even a laser cannot measure the end of the decimal point.
