1202 The Value of Prehistoric Civilizations

The mining robot that Egwyn had killed fell in a sparse piece, and now it was completely turned into an experiment for Jindy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As Don and Egwin stood by and watched the goblins and gnomes of the archaeological team busiing themselves on the mining robots, they suddenly felt that the style of the painting was particularly comical.

It's more like research than archaeology - because the mining robots are clearly several levels more advanced than the current level of technology in Plandal.

A group of dwarfs and goblins who are only at the level of the Middle Ages are trying to disassemble an autonomous intelligent mining robot that has entered the space age, and they are also trying to study the mysteries inside.

It's like an earth civilization that suddenly gives you an alien mining spaceship that can travel through the galaxy for you to dismantle, and it is estimated that you can't figure out what structure is inside when you disassemble it.

Because the gap in the level of science and technology is too big.

Gindy Dinger and the others were in high spirits, and they didn't think about it that much at all.

Then again, the two races have now unearthed a lot of useful things from the various ruins, and even learned some things from the few words of the literature, and restored a lot of strange equipment - such as the gnome shrinking ray, the gravity well, and so on......

Therefore, it cannot be said that their archaeological behavior is useless, but compared with scientific research, the expected benefits of digging ancestral graves are relatively small, and more of an unexpected income.

After deciding that she was going to be here with Don for a few days, Egwyn had been quiet, most of the time it was Donn who was saying that she was listening, but Donn didn't care, she just listened with a smile on her face, which was already very satisfying for Donn.

"There are a lot of technologies in these mining robots that we can use, such as gyroscopes, navigation systems, power sources, furnaces, etc., ......."

Tang En pointed to the mining robot and said with a smile: "The premise is that we can figure out the technical principle of this - Jindi, have you found anything?" ”

Jindi shouted happily, "Of course! We've found something that seems to be an energy pathway, and we're going backwards to find the energy core of this structure! Once you've found the energy core, you can try to disassemble it and recycle it elsewhere. ”

Don sighed, until now, the dwarf's mind had not changed, and he was just thinking about dismantling the useful parts and assembling them to be used elsewhere, but he had never considered studying the principles inside.

Now there are a lot of patchwork devices on the dwarf's side, and the energy used by these devices is still the energy left over from prehistoric civilization 10,000 years ago, and they only know how to dig it out and use it, and they simply don't have the ability to produce this kind of energy, and they don't even know how it works.

Now it's not so easy to figure out the technical principles of this mining robot.

However, if they had paid attention to the accumulation of technical knowledge in this area from the beginning, they would have returned to the era of the Industrial Revolution.

It's a pity that they are still stuck in the weird medieval period, and while using advanced equipment such as unimaginable dwarf shrinking rays and gnome gravity wells, which require extremely large amounts of energy, they are still using the backward energy source of steam engines.

Energy is the foundation of everything.

Jindi and a group of archaeologists, or engineers, were busy for a long time with various tools, and after tracing along the energy transmission path, they really let them discover the energy core of this mining robot.

It's really just a core, not a power furnace - because the energy module that powers the entire mining robot is the size of an adult's head, and the whole structure is round, composed of silver-gray metal, and the shell is extremely intricate lines, and I don't know what is inside, even if the central control system has been destroyed by Egwin, the silver-gray metal ball is still suspended in mid-air.

The outer perimeter of the metal ball is a layer of transparent special glass, isolated from the surrounding area, through which you can see that there are two bases above and below the metal ball, and the energy path that maintains the operation of the entire mining robot extends from here.

Tang En, who followed behind, thought about it, originally considering that the gnomes and goblins already have the strength to land on the moon easily, and even have the technical level of transforming satellites, that is, the energy they use is likely to be controlled nuclear fusion, and it is also stable and efficient.

But......

This mining robot has been sleeping for 10,000 years, and in the event of an emergency, it can wake up on its own for self-testing, and even the energy can continue to recover, which is really not like nuclear fusion - Tang En has never heard of any nuclear fuel that can continue to react for 10,000 years with one addition......

In other words, the energy technology used by the gnomes and goblins is probably not the same as nuclear technology - which is also easy to understand, after all, it is different civilizations, different universes, and it would be strange to take the same nuclear physics route.

So the question is - what kind of energy system can make a robot sleep for so long, after 10,000 years of decay, still have 12% of the energy, and even drive the robot to move, and automatically recharge after starting?

Don didn't know that this kind of thing was beyond his level of knowledge, even if those experts on the earth came, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to tell one, two, three.

Maybe......

Tang En suddenly thought of the mysterious astral boundary, the energy used by the prehistoric civilization of gnomes and goblins, could it be that it was also drawn from the astral realm?

I don't know, I don't know, maybe only by finding a way to dismantle an energy core, will I get a glimpse of the mystery inside - but whether I can understand it, whether it will explode after dismantling it is another matter.

Don leaned over and asked, "Jindi, have you ever dismantled the energy core?" ”

"Demolition?"

Jindi was stunned for a moment: "Why do you want to demolish it?" How precious this thing is! ”

"It's very precious, but if you don't dismantle it, it will always be so scarce, if you figure out how it works after dismantling it, and you can produce it yourself, wouldn't it be much better?"

"Well, we haven't thought about it!"

While directing the dismantling work, Jindi said to Donne, "But I heard that the master craftsman tried to disassemble the energy core before, but he found that we have no ability to disassemble the shell of this thing, no matter what means are used. ”

Oh?

Cloto ever tried?

"We couldn't even break it with destructive dismantling, it's just too strong."

Jindi pointed to the energy core and said, "Later, everyone gave up, as long as they can find a way to extract the energy in this thing, it is enough." ”

"I see...... Is there any resemblance between the small energy module used by your dwarf shrinking ray and this large energy module? ”

"Of course there is, it's not so much similar, it's better to say that one is large and the other is small, and it looks exactly the same when it works."

Jindi sighed: "Sometimes I really admire the ancestors, how they developed such a sophisticated instrument, it's really incredible." ”

This is admired?

If you knew that a CPU with a few square centimeters in size had hundreds of millions of billions of transistors integrated into it, wouldn't you explode on the spot?

"Then again......"

Jindi suddenly looked at Don with a little puzzled: "You actually know that the dwarf shrinks the ray?" Not many people even know about the dwarves, where did you hear that? ”

Tang En smiled calmly and said, "I heard from the elves a long time ago that they said that the dwarf shrinking ray played a very important role in the chaos invasion war. ”

"Not really!"

The simple Jindi was immediately diverted by Tang En, and said proudly: "Although the dwarf shrinking ray did not come in handy in the battlefield, it played a great role in the transportation of material logistics, and when space equipment was scarce, the materials were miniaturized through the dwarf shrinking ray and then transported, which saved a lot of time and improved a lot of transportation efficiency." ”

Don just mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect to hear interesting news.

"If we knew that the dwarf shrinking ray would be so useful in the first place, why didn't we develop it specifically later?"

Tang En still couldn't figure out why the gnomes didn't concentrate on breaking through a key technology, but instead dug up ruins all over the world, and the technology tree was a mess.

"It's still the reason for the beginning."

Jindi sighed: "Our existing knowledge and skill level are simply not enough for us to see the true mystery of ancestral technology, we can only learn little by little, strive to accumulate more knowledge, and improve our overall level." ”

Don nodded, lost in thought, the reserve of knowledge is indeed important, but if it is just a reserve, but it cannot be transformed into actual productivity, it will be a bit troublesome for him.

After all, there wasn't much time left for him.

Perhaps, it's time for Kloto to find a way to delve into these relic technologies, and being able to convert some of them into usable technologies can greatly improve their current overall military strength.

Not to mention, after the gyroscope technology is completed, it solves the huge problem of inertial navigation system, which can be equipped with a simple inertial navigation system for magic energy cars and airships, which greatly facilitates travel and can effectively prevent route deviation.

If the Dongfeng series missiles are equipped with inertial navigation, the accuracy of shooting can be further improved......

Just as Tang En was pondering, the cries of the members of the gnome archaeological team suddenly came from the entrance of the ruins in the distance, and the archaeological team seemed to be alarmed, and they immediately put down their work and ran over.

"There's a discovery down there!"

The archaeological team members who went to explore the path below shouted excitedly: "It seems that there is an ore refining center below!" ”
