Chapter 184 (1/2)
The neutron gun spewed out gorgeous fire, and the antimatter orbital bombs fell on this huge building one after another, and the sound of artillery fire rang through the world for a time.
The Tomahawk has only two medium-sized high-speed guns. Its main attack mode is not relying on artillery fire, but the numerous combat UAVs it carries. Once released, they will bite each other alive like a swarm of poisonous bees.
Fearing that dust in the high gravity zone would damage these valuable drones, Xiafei did not use them, but used only two guns to attack.
”What are you doing?” The ghost did not understand.
He didn't understand the significance of Xiafei's indiscriminate bombing of these ancient square buildings. The price of an antimatter orbital bomb was as high as 30000 star coins. Two high-speed guns fired 180 shells per minute. The consumption of ammunition alone would cost more than 5 million star coins per minute. Xiafei has always been very economical, so it is just a waste.
Xia Fei frowned and did not order the gun to stop. He said, ”I suspect these things are not buildings at all.”
”Not a building? What can that be? ”
Because of his habitual thinking, Xia Fei, like ghost, thought that these huge square objects were a kind of architecture. It was impossible to produce such standard cubic boulders in the natural environment, unless they were made by human beings.
But when Xia Fei really got in touch with them, his thinking changed again. There were no doors or windows. Xia Fei couldn't think of anyone who would make buildings so strange. He began to suspect that these things were entities, not buildings.
The depth detector on the Tomahawk was disturbed by the surrounding environment and could not be used. Therefore, Xia Fei decided to use the most direct and effective method to blast open these boulders with shells.
If they are buildings, they will naturally be cracked by gunfire, otherwise they are man-made concrete blocks.
It is not easy to build solid concrete blocks of more than km in length, width and height. After they are built, why should they be discarded on this deserted planet? Xia Fei can't imagine. Now he has to figure out the real structure of these big guys first.
”Stop!” After two minutes of continuous attacks, Xiafei ordered the main control computer to stop the bombardment.
Ghost and Xia Fei stood in front of the porthole and looked ahead. When the dust cleared away, they could not help but take a breath.
A huge rectangular stone was cut half way from above, revealing countless broken concrete, in which the metal structure was faintly visible.
These huge square objects are solid!
They are not any buildings!
No one can imagine who is going to throw these huge concrete blocks here, and what are they used for?
Lighting a cigarette, Xia Fei sits back in his chair, frowning and pondering.
The ghost thought for a while and asked, ”since these huge stones are solid, can someone want to use them to build some kind of building, and they are not used for some unknown reason and are abandoned here.”
As soon as the ghost himself laughed out, each boulder was no less than 1000 meters in length, width and height. Whether it was feasible to build a house with such a large stone would not be discussed. Even if it was built, how big would it be?
What is a super building with a height of hundreds of thousands or even millions of meters? Do you play golf?
At least human beings can't afford a building with a height of one million meters. Unless there is some kind of extremely tall intelligent race in the universe, it is hard to imagine who needs such a large building.
In fact, human beings will also build some super large bases. Most of the construction methods are to find some small planets and empty their interior, install a lot of artillery and other defense facilities on the periphery, and turn them into a movable blockhouse. This is the case with those bases that Xiafei saw in the wilderness.
The problem is that these stones look like bricks. If they are used to build military bases, they are much more difficult than hollowing out a planet. Moreover, they are not solid. If they are to build civilian houses, it would be even more ridiculous. How could it be possible to cram hundreds of millions of people into a building.
The Tomahawk continued to circle the reddish red planet, and Shafei had been thinking about the use of the stones, so he did not give further instructions to the warship.
Looking through the porthole, the arrangement of these stones is not even. Some of them are closely connected with each other, while others are far away. However, they are arranged neatly, facing the dark starry sky. They are not as if they are still here at will. The reason why Xia Fei thought they were buildings at the beginning was also influenced by the placement of these stones.
”It's not evenly placed, but each piece is neatly placed?” Xia Fei said to himself doubtfully.
Suddenly, his mind turned.
”Come on! Quickly raise the height to 150000 meters! ” Xia Fei ordered.
The Tomahawk turned around and flew in the opposite direction. A moment later, Xia Fei stood at the side window and looked far away. The stones were connected horizontally and vertically. They looked like some unknown calligraphy.
”Look Xia Fei said excitedly, ”are these stones connected like words?””Text?” The ghost suddenly was stunned, ”like, it's really like a text, the structure is scattered but not disorderly, but I don't know what this kind of writing is.”
