Chapter 363: The Ruins of the Atlantean Civilization (2)
"The statue of Poseidon, the god of the sea, carries the power output of the city of Poseidon, and is the last inheritance of the Atlantean civilization!"
Although it was only a short hint, it also made Lao Jiu sure that this statue was the key to the entire underground city. After observing around the base of the statue, Lao Jiu found that there were very complex patterns on the base of this original shape.
And at the intersection of these lines, there are grooves one by one, and there are some white crystals inlaid in the grooves. Lao Jiu frowned, then took out a piece and observed it in his hand, while the system showed the properties of the crystal.
Energy-depleted amethyst! This reminded Lao Jiu not only of the amethyst consumed by the operation of the teleportation array, so he began to take out a large amount of amethyst from the space and began to replace the crystals on the base of the statue that had exhausted their energy.
While filling in the replacements, Lao Jiu counted the number of replacements, and there were a total of a thousand such grooves on the circular pedestal with a diameter of tens of meters. And when Lao Jiu inlaid the last groove with amethyst, the entire base of the statue began to light up.
The lines above the pedestal began to glow, and they began to spread in a regular way like electricity. When all the lines on the pedestal lit up, the light began to spread over the entire statue.
At this moment, the statue hundreds of meters high seemed to be transparent, and Lao Jiu could clearly see the light lines that spread all the way up in his body. First the legs, then all the way to the upper body, and finally the head of the statue.
At this time, Lao Jiu discovered that on the forehead of the statue, there was a diamond-shaped gem, and these energies all the way up finally flowed into the gem. It was also at this time that the gemstones began to glow with a faint colored light, and they looked extraordinarily beautiful.
And at this time, Lao Jiu actually saw the attributes of the statue: the statue of the sea god, the power source of the city of Poseidon. In the Poseidon Godhead charge, it is currently 1%, and the energy consumption of amethyst is 10%, please exchange for new amethyst before the amethyst energy is depleted.
With the continuous consumption of amethyst energy, the jewel-like Seagod Godhead gradually emitted more and more intense light. And the entire Poseidon statue also began to glow with a faint metallic color. Lao Jiu was surprised to see this, but soon, Lao Jiu's face darkened.
Because when the energy of that godhead was charged to 4%, some of the amethyst energy on the periphery of the pedestal had already begun to be exhausted. According to Lao Jiu's estimate, the energy of a thousand amethysts can only replenish 5% of the energy of the godhead.
And the value of one amethyst is equivalent to ten purple coins, that is, one hundred gold coins. If calculated in this way, in order to fill the energy of the entire godhead, the gold coins that need to be consumed will directly reach 20 million.
However, in order to activate the entire statue, Lao Jiu could only grit his teeth and keep replacing the amethyst on the pedestal. Fortunately, this charging process is still relatively fast, and it only took half a day for Lao Jiu to be filled with the energy of the godhead.
"Congratulations on activating the statue of the god of the sea, inheriting the civilization of Atlantis, and gaining control of the city of Poseidon!" The sudden system prompt made Lao Jiuleng pause, and then he opened his attribute page, and found that there was an additional attribute on it: the control authority of Poseidon City.
When the control of the city was turned on, Lao Jiu was completely shocked. Because the control of the entire Poseidon city turned out to be like artificial intelligence in reality, which really surprised Lao Jiu.
Lao Jiu casually opened a function, which is the normal operation of the city. I saw that in the next moment, the entire underground city began to become brighter, and then Lao Jiu felt the presence of the wind, and the flowing air, with the smell of underground rancidity, slowly began to fade.
Lao Jiu opened a map attached to it and found that there was a layer below the city. However, it is much smaller than the above. With the entire city fully activated, all the portals in the city have resumed normal operation, and can be opened and closed normally with the help of a button.
This provides the greatest convenience for the cleaning of the entire city. So Lao Jiu began to mobilize a large number of people and began to comprehensively clean up the corpses in the city. And let people sort out the resources in the whole city, and finally classify and count.
This underground city covers an area of almost tens of thousands of square kilometers. The upper floor is the area where ordinary Atlanteans live. And the lower floor is the storage room of the entire city, as well as the research base, etc., which is also the destination that Lao Jiu wants to find.
Now that there is a map of the whole city, Lao Jiu has come to the bottom smoothly, and the distribution of various areas here is very obvious. There are material reserve area, equipment depot, equipment production area, dockyard factory, experimental area, and energy reserve area!
Lao Jiu first went to the material reserve area, but unfortunately everything inside had already weathered, and when Lao Jiu opened the door, there was only endless dust, which filled the entire space along with the activation of the ventilation system.
Helpless Lao Jiu, can only transfer to the equipment library, but unfortunately the result is still unsatisfactory, the equipment library does store countless equipment, but because the time is too long, all the equipment essence is lost, and it has become the most ordinary tabula rasa equipment.
This made Lao Jiu have to wonder if the metal veins on Canglong Island were formed by the essence of the loss of these equipment. Because the equipment prompt that Lao Jiu saw was: the purple gold equipment that has lost its essence has become the most ordinary equipment under the corrosion of time.
Looking at the mountains of various equipment in front of him, Lao Jiu had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, which made him think for a while that he was simply miserable by the system. Tens of millions of gold coins were spent, and now there is not even Mao's harvest, and some are just an empty city.
Lao Jiu was in a depressed mood and began to search other areas, at this time, he no longer had much hope for the city. Sure enough, when he arrived at the weapons production area, the situation here was the same as in other areas, everything had been corrupted by time and became the most ordinary thing.
Not to mention the energy reserve area, which is full of energy-depleted amethyst. Looking at the hundreds of millions of colorless crystals in front of him, Lao Jiu really wanted to cry. He was now completely sure that the veins on the island were formed by these lost amethyst energies.
The dockmaster was built next to an underground river with a formed warship on the river. But now it's a sample, and the essence of it is gone. With a feeling of loss, Lao Jiu finally walked into the laboratory.
Looking at the experimental area, the dry bones that still maintained their previous posture, and the materials in front of him, Lao Jiu became more and more sad. Walking to a place between four dry bones, Lao Jiu picked up a piece of metal and looked at it:
The special alloy, the main material used to make Zijin equipment, has now lost its due properties due to the corrosion of time and has become an ordinary metal.
"Huh...... Dangdangdang ......" Lao Jiu showed an expression that was more ugly than crying, and then weakly let go of the metal block in his hand. And after the metal block fell to the ground, it made a series of crisp sounds, as if laughing at Lao Jiu.
"Heckling, this system is also good at playing with people!" Lao Jiu muttered to himself in frustration, still looking around without giving up. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his disappointment burned again.
Because he saw that at the edge of the experimental area, there were transparent cabinets, and inside the cabinets, there were rolls of animal skins. At this moment, an endless light erupted in Lao Jiu's eyes, and after leaving an afterimage in place, the whole person appeared directly in front of the cabinet.
Due to the excitement in his heart, Lao Jiu's hands trembled a little. He cautiously opened the cabinet door and tried to touch one of the skins lightly. seems to be afraid that if he is not careful, he will destroy these written records in front of him.
However, Lao Jiu's worries were obviously superfluous, and the quality of these animal skin rolls was far beyond his imagination. Because these animal skins are the skins of divine beasts, what the years have left them is just the precipitation of time.
"Brandy's Battleship Manufacturing Experience", looking at the title of the book translated by the system, Lao Jiu trembled his hands and slowly opened the animal skin scroll. This is the experience of building a battleship left by a battleship master, which is undoubtedly a priceless treasure for the craftsman who makes the battleship.
After putting away the animal skin rolls in his hand, Lao Jiu looked at the other animal skin rolls again, and on the animal skins in this cabinet, almost all of them were recorded in equipment manufacturing and weapon building.
Then there is some experience in the manufacture of warships, as well as the fusion experience of various synthetic metals. The record of this cabinet alone will play a decisive role in the future development of the Xiaoyao Empire.
After getting the written inheritance of civilization, Lao Jiu's heart immediately burned with hope, and he began to search carefully in the laboratory. Sure enough, he found two dark compartments in them, which also contained some ancient animal skin scrolls, but they were few in number.
Lao Jiu took out the largest volume and watched it, which is a history of the Atlantean civilization. It tells the story of the development and inheritance of Atlantis, from the beginning to the end of the imminent destruction, a total of nearly 10,000 years of history, which has to make Lao Jiu admire the strength of the system.
After putting away the historical records of Atlantis, Lao Jiu continued to watch. This time, he opened up the method of building the Atlantean battleship. There are three main types of them, one is a combat warship and the other is a transport warship.
And the last one is an underwater warship, which is a bit like a submarine in reality, and Lao Jiu is amazed to watch. For these three types of warships, there are detailed construction methods above. Lao Jiu is more and more excited in his heart, as if dominating the ocean is close at hand.
However, the content of these records, for Lao Jiu, is like a dog looking at the stars. What he saw was the value of the animal skin rolls, and the complex manufacturing process of the battleship, as well as some indispensable materials, were completely ignored by him.
