Chapter 707 Sacred Relics

Each plane in the multiverse world can actually be simply regarded as a planet, but the void is really too big, and all kinds of weird things can be born.

In this void, there are the divine realms of gods, the ruins of the void races, and the indescribable and incomprehensible ancient shadows.

The task of the recycler is to drag back these ownerless and unwanted items and then sell them for money.

This part of the job sounds like interstellar adventurers, but they also gather around the battlefield and rush in every time the battle ends to pick up destroyed ships, any valuable materials, etc., so rag picking is more suitable for recyclers .

There are many people who want to eat this bowl of rice, and because recyclers are relatively free and less regulated, many interstellar pirates will also join recyclers as a side business. In other words, pirates are the side business, so competition in this industry is also fierce.

After all, what you pick up is what you earn, and whoever picks it up belongs to whoever picks it up. It is difficult to protect your income without two brushes.

Alyssa had only recently taken over the captain's duties from her deceased grandfather, but she had grown up on a ship and was familiar with the job of a recycler.

Recently, she found a crystal plate recording a lost star map. After half a year of data decryption, she finally figured out the location of a lost relic.

But the bad news is that she was not the only one to get the crystal panels, two other recyclers also came to grab the business.

This is not okay.

There's no chance of trying to monopolize it, but the other two recyclers don't dare to fight when they come up, so you have to get the best part before them and run away quickly.

So they entered the ruins of this asteroid floating in the void and groped forward in the darkness where they couldn't see anything.

"There are still ten minutes left. If you can't find anything within ten minutes, I will take you back by force."

The oxygen in the void protective suit can still last for thirty minutes, but considering the return journey and possible unexpected situations, ten minutes is already Long's biggest concession.

"Okay, okay, I understand, let's go, I already have a premonition that there is a baby ahead."

"You are a human, how can you have this kind of perception?"

Long sighed and waved behind him, gesturing for the commandos who came with him to follow.

"Speaking of which, this ruins looks very well preserved. It doesn't look like it was attacked. Why was it abandoned?"

"Judging from the emblem on the airlock door, it was built by people from the Creation Church more than a thousand years ago. Their whereabouts were very concealed. It might have been a hidden secret base at that time, so no one has discovered it for thousands of years."

Speaking of this, Alyssa was excited:

"The void environment perfectly preserved it. As for why it was abandoned, I looked at the terminal log. It seems that an unknown virus spread in the base and everyone died."

"Huh? Virus?"

"You are a silicon man, what are you afraid of?"

"But most of the people on the ship are humans!"

"Don't worry, the void can kill all viruses. It's been over for so long."

"I will arrange the most stringent disinfection procedures and implement them immediately after returning."

"Why……"

"No long sounds allowed!"

It's hard to tell from his appearance that Long, a silicon man, is already in his thirties.

The lifespan of a silicon man is about the same as that of a human being. Although he is nominally Alyssa’s sergeant major, he is actually closer to my mother...

As he spoke, the light illuminated a hexagonal airlock door in front of him, like a huge nut embedded in the wall.

Alyssa floated over while holding on to the wall, reached out and opened a pocket on the arm of the protective suit, pulled out a cable and connected it to the control panel.

Not long after, the panel made a few beeps, the diode lit up green, and the door slowly opened with an 'empty' sound.

The imbalance of internal and external air pressure caused a large amount of air to flow out of the door the moment the door was activated, like a strong wind passing through the passage.

However, everyone was prepared in advance and used hook locks to fasten themselves to the handrails on both sides of the passage. Even the wounded did not forget to fasten them.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, when the wind pressure calmed down, Alyssa jumped in immediately.

Long was afraid that something might happen to her, so he secretly cursed how brave this girl was and quickly followed her.

As soon as she passed through the door, Alyssa suddenly hit the floor, but she didn't care at all, she jumped up and said excitedly:

"Oh, there is still artificial gravity here!"

The floor is different from before, like a hollow metal plate. When you step on it, it will make a deep thumping sound, which will be transmitted to your ears along the feet.

After jumping on the spot twice to get used to it, Alyssa looked around.

They should have come to a very empty area, so empty that even the lights placed on their chests could not illuminate the darkness further away.

But Alyssa immediately discovered a console nearby and rushed forward as if she had found a treasure.

Long signaled others to stay on guard, and he also tightened his grip on the plasma gun in his hand:

"This place gives me a very bad feeling. Do you know what you are looking for?"

"Holy relic."

Alyssa pulled out the cable and connected it to the console. Fortunately, the universal interface could be connected to it.

"Except for the sacred relics, there is nothing particularly valuable left by the Creation Church back then. They wanted to create gods back then."

The panel of the console lit up slightly with fluorescence, indicating that the energy supply was normal. Alyssa was typing on a string of twisted character keyboards that were comparable to tadpole writing. She seemed to be proficient in this kind of writing.

"You will feel uncomfortable, which proves that we have found the holy relic... I have found it, let me turn on the light first."

As Alyssa pressed a button, the lights from bottom to top were lit up under everyone's feet, like some kind of searchlight, forming beams of light that shot towards the ceiling.

Only then did I notice that the ceiling here was curved, and the beams of light shone up, as if forming diffuse reflection, and instantly spread out in the entire dark space.

"What is that...?!"

A pyramid as huge as a mountain, composed of metal plates, gears, Nixie tubes, and vacuum tubes, appeared in front of everyone, and everyone was stunned.

The job of recycler allowed them to see many strange creations, but no creation was as shocking as the one in front of them.

Not only was it big, the size of the starship was much larger than this thing, but even standing in front of the largest starship, there would not be such a terrifying sense of oppression that made people want to kneel down.

Alyssa did not answer Long's words. She held the panel with both hands and could feel that every inch of her flesh and blood was trembling, and the cables in the implants embedded in her body were twitching like living things.

Every cell in her body sounded a red alarm, as if a voice was whispering in her ear.

What you see is great and cannot be looked at directly.

While the whole body was sounding the alarm, a sense of ecstasy spread from Alyssa's heart:

"This is definitely the most valuable treasure we have ever found in our lives!"

"You don't want to transport it away! Impossible!"

Long quickly interrupted his captain's unrealistic idea. Let alone how to move it, this thing is so big that it can't be stuffed into the cargo hold on the starship.

What's more, there is no time and no manpower to dismantle and transport it away. The other two recyclers are waiting covetously.

And as if in response to Long's words, a series of violent vibrations were transmitted along the floor to everyone's toes, and the lights turned into flashing red at the same time.

"What happened!"

Long rushed to the control panel and saw a line of eye-catching red words on it.

'Warning: System crash cannot be repaired, self-destruct program activated, all personnel please evacuate within ten minutes'
