Chapter 1112: Crossing the Bridge
Merinthera suddenly had a strange thought: "You say-"
Luo Di immediately continued: "If you let your body change in this direction, won't you have to absorb the energy of the heterotopic plane every time like drawing water?"
She didn't nod or shake her head, her eyes still staring at the lizard: "The point is... How does it do it?"
To use an inappropriate analogy, if the "magic crystal" of ordinary Warcraft is a gasoline engine, then the element of the original plane is gasoline, and the element of the heterotopic plane is diesel - diesel entering the gasoline engine is bound to have problems, even if it is "dragon crystal", it will not be able to transform these two completely different things.
But the lizard in front of him obviously broke common sense...
In fact, of course, Merinthera thought about her own way of condensing the "magic crystal", after all, she once had the "dragon crystal", and she knew very well what the state of the magic power that was close to "infinity" was in her body. And after losing the dragon crystal, she once spent a lot of energy to find a way to "condense" the magic crystal again - to be honest, she was not the only one who thought about it, there were countless magicians or alchemists and the like in history who wanted to grow a magic crystal in their bodies.
The mages envied the powerful magic power and longevity of the monsters and dragons, and tried to find a way to condense one.
And the alchemists are even crazier, they think about "transplanting" ... That is, directly try to put the magic crystals of other creatures in the body.
Both attempts failed, as the mages who tried to condense the crystals eventually created many crystals in their bodies, clogging their blood vessels and killing themselves, and the alchemists were even more powerful, and the alchemists exploded into ashes on the spot.
These documents made the originally excited Mai Linsella's heart half cold, but the discovery at this time made her happy, and at the same time, Mai Linsela realized that she had walked into a misunderstanding before: "Could there be such a possibility, 'magic crystal' is actually an alternative, there was no magic beast in this world, for some reason, the elemental creatures from the different planes came here, they did not summon stones to maintain life, they could only try to protect themselves..."
Roddy thought of Darwin's "theory of evolution" – the "natural selection" he had learned in biology class – that seemed to explain this phenomenon: "Those who condensed the crystals by some coincidence adapted to the environment and survived." And those who don't have magic crystals also have such memories in their genes, so after the monsters reach a certain level of age and strength, they will condense the magic crystals on their own..."
"What are genes?"
Merinthra understood everything else, as there had been similar references in the dragon records, but she had heard of the term "gene" for the first time.
"It's just... When the blood is passed down, those things engraved in the bones, this is a general term. Some animals are born hunting, or they breathe fire not long after they are born, which is called 'genetic'. Of course, this is a huge proposition and theory, and there is no time to dwell on it now. But I think you can understand what that means. ”
Melinthera nodded, but after a few seconds, she tilted her head and glanced at Roddy: "You know more than I thought, and... It doesn't seem like that's something humans can sum up. ”
Having lived in the human world for a long time, she can certainly know what the level of human cognition in the current world is. But now the two didn't have time to discuss the issue of "genes", she squatted down and carefully observed the lizard, but because the other party was too small, she couldn't dissect it on the spot, and the information she could get was limited for a while.
"Now that we can prove that this is the right path, we can make a detailed enough plan to explore it. Don't worry, I'll catch more elemental creatures for you to study in the future, and if I can prove my conjecture, then... I'm afraid it's not just you who will be affected. ”
Roddy's words made her face solemn: because if it is proved that the "magic crystal" is produced by the self-protection of alien species, then... What about dragons?
This involves the origin of the dragons, and perhaps seriously contradicts the internal narrative of the dragons...
Of course, that's not something to think about right now.
"If I want to study this topic, I'm afraid I need you to help me all the time. ”
"No problem!"
Roddy immediately agreed.
The two of them talked about other topics, and the elemental lizard continued to work hard, and after the other tower was completely solidified, it finally ran out of strength and became languishing.
"Alright, come back and rest. ”
Roddy retrieved the lizard from the summoning stone, and the data showed that it would take more than two days for it to fully recover. It seems that this night has been a lot of consumption of lizards.
With its help, the two towers, which are nearly twenty-four meters long, have been permanently solidified and stand in the night. The mages who had been prepared for a long time began to drag the ropes to the opposite shore with spells to assist the boats, and after connecting them, the engineering company began to hang heavy metal chains on the towers, and when it was almost dawn, they began to quickly lay the wooden planks that had been prepared on the bridge cables that had begun to take shape...
All this is obviously the result of many drills and even many practices, the soldiers are not dizzy and busy, each step has a special captain command and coordination, the construction order and time have long been strictly delineated, everything is busy in an orderly manner.
Roddy and Merinthera didn't leave, they found a place to rest nearby, perhaps for too long to have such a small talk, and at sunrise, the strangeness of not seeing each other for two years finally disappeared.
Melinthera is in a good mood because she now has a new, clear direction to work towards. And the matter of "studying the magic crystal" is bound to be with Roddy - thinking of this, she can't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
Roddy, on the other hand, set his sights in the distance, but he couldn't see the enemy's camp in the distance at this time, because the engineering company had created a large area of dense fog on one side to obscure the field of vision in accordance with the camouflage regulations, so that even if the enemy had scouts coming, he would not be able to see the drawbridge where the main construction had been completed at all.
And by the time the sun reached the two spires, the silent infantry units transferred from the city of Laxia and the ferry, two Vulcan and four marmot gun carriages were already ready on the north bank of the drawbridge.
The five-meter-wide drawbridge was paved with wooden planks, and the soldiers quickly boarded the bridge deck, and the distance of more than 200 meters took less than three minutes to walk through it without ensuring the amount of passage - the chariot that used the "flotation technique" to reduce weight drove over with ease, and the troops of more than 2,000 people had completely passed in less than half an hour, and after a simple adjustment, they began to march towards the enemy camp in formation.
