Chapter Seven: Sensual Contact

Perhaps it has moved! I do not have enough energy to monitor this area for twenty-four hours; I am powerless against such changes

However, regarding the first method, I do not have any rope, and there are very few vine-like plants in this forest, making it impossible to find a substitute. As for the second method, if it were someone else, they would have acted long ago, but I do not dare to do so. The Champa ruins are such a massive structure that it cannot operate without a significant energy source. Moreover, from the nearly completely sealed architectural design at the bottom, it can be inferred that the energy supply is most likely located there. If I were to accidentally trigger a nuclear leak, it would be utterly unjustifiable for me to die in such a manner.

The clarity of the holographic scanning map for Lifeboat No. 15 is insufficient, and I did not anticipate such a situation before departure

The troubles encountered along the way have instilled in me a profound respect for the profession of an explorer. Reflecting on the many great scholars who toil in the barren lands of South America or Africa conducting various research, I am truly grateful that I did not choose to apply for those fields due to low scores.

The architectural aesthetics of the Champa aliens are vastly different from those of humans. When I arrived at the Champa ruins and the library, despite confirming the target was correct after comparing it with the holographic map, I was still dumbfounded and unable to believe my eyes

Bird goods! Did you not say that the nearest threat is still five hundred kilometers away

Damn it, there is too little information. If I had known the ruins were in this condition, I should have brought Lifeboat No. 15 over. How am I supposed to get in now? Should I have the bomb drone carry me up?

I witnessed a scene that I will find difficult to forget for the rest of my life

There are three straight spiral buildings, each reaching a height comparable to that of the Empire State Building, standing in an equilateral triangle amidst the dense forest. Although countless years have passed, the structures remain intact. Countless passages connect each building, and the transparent tubes give the entire complex a bizarre appearance, resembling a living monster whose genes have been magnified a billion times.

After learning of my plan, Lifeboat No. 15, after a round of damnable reasoning, responded: "My duty is not to unconditionally obey your commands, but rather to maximize the possibility of keeping you safe in accordance with the guidelines. Therefore, I must reject this request. Additionally, please return to the base as soon as possible. I have just scanned the area near you and found that a highly vital organism is wandering near the Champa ruins. This life form is equivalent to a Level 4 biochemical beast and is extremely dangerous"

The rescue pod No. 15 responded promptly, quickly transmitting the holographic map of the 50-kilometer radius. Inside the alien spacecraft, I discovered that my brain had acquired this new function, allowing me to communicate with them through mental waves and exchange information. However, at that time, it was an unfortunate one-way transmission; my brain was treated by the aliens as a public browser.

I ventured to the Champa ruins, only to find nothing, which was a significant blow to me. I made contact with Lifepod No. 15 once, and I plan to activate this final secret weapon to have it come and pick me up.

In an instant, I considered several methods, all of which I dismissed one by one. The most feasible option was to have the bomb-carrying drone attach a rope, which I could then climb. The second option was to directly use the bomb-carrying drone to blast open the bottom and the books, allowing me to pass through unobstructed

A girl with striking features stands quietly ten steps away from a large tree, her soft black hair floating in the air. The material of her clothing is unknown, yet it imparts an ethereal, mist-like quality. Her soft and elongated figure is perfect in every inch, resembling a silent classical composition, with each note being indescribably beautiful.

It is truly astonishing beyond my imagination that the Champa people were able to construct such magnificent buildings with only a dozen or so individuals, and that they have been preserved so well. Their level of technology is indeed admirable

Damn, had I known earlier, I shouldn't have worried about consuming too much energy. Enhance the scanning clarity of Lifeboat No. 15.

Electrochemistry is a good project; at least I don't have to go anywhere other than the laboratory. Although there are fewer junior sisters, they are all quite gentle! The roar of a lioness and the roar of a mother lion, although the forms are somewhat similar, there is still a fundamental difference. Although this journey has been thrilling yet safe, after reflection, I have decided that before the mother queen evolves to level 5, capable of producing jet series biochemical beasts that can serve as air-cushion jeeps, I will no longer take risks.

Although many plants have already occupied the area that was originally meant to be the base beneath these three spiral towers, no tree can grow taller than the Champa ruins. With a bioengineered Tibetan mastiff clearing the way, I made my way to the foot of the ruins, yet I could not find anything that could be called an entrance

I cannot help but be astonished. According to the assessments made by the creator of the Empress regarding this planet, the Champa people landed on this planet over 20,000 years ago, and the last remnants of the Champa dynasty disappeared more than 7,000 years ago. I had expected to see dilapidated ruins, yet these three spiral tower-like structures appear to be even newer than many buildings on Earth that were constructed only ten years ago

However, the tusked tiger is different; it is a monster resembling a tiger with wild boar tusks. Its combat power is comparable to that of a Level 3 combat bio-beast. On my way here, I lost four Tibetan mastiffs, two of which were killed by the claws of another tusked tiger. The other two were casualties when I commanded the bomb-carrying bees to attack the tusked tiger that assaulted me.

The holographic map provided by Lifeboat No. 15 indicates that within a radius of 50 kilometers, the most threatening beasts are a pack of creatures the size of bison, resembling wolves seven parts and zebras three parts, along with a tusked tiger. While the bison-sized monsters that are seven parts wolf and three parts zebra are somewhat concerning, their combat capability is comparable to that of a Tibetan mastiff, which does not render them particularly dangerous

Damn it! First, transmit all the biological data from the surrounding area into my brain!

However, if these were the only dangers, Lifeboat No. 15 would not specifically issue a warning. After gathering all my focus and repeatedly searching this holographic map, I finally discovered the target that caught my attention beneath a dense tree.

I looked up, and the spiral tower, after rising more than 100 meters above the ground, had platforms extending outward at each level of rotation. In the distance, I could see what appeared to be safety doors on those platforms. Based on common reasoning, I speculate that the technology level of the Champa people has reached a point where personal flying devices are widely available, which is why the entrance is situated so high up.

If it were not for the protection of the bomb-carrying drones and the biochemical Tibetan mastiffs, I would surely have been eliminated by those jungle beasts on the way
