Chapter 28: The Library and Dinner

The maintenance soldiers kept talking about the strength of the pipeline, the material, and the sealing of the interface, and Yu Youzi knew that it was impossible for them to talk about the fuel source and production, which had nothing to do with the current maintenance. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info they're repairing tanks, not working on improving fuel recipes.

He didn't go up and ask about fuel in the Klan language he had just mastered, after all, the two people who were watching were nearby, and if he let Assaberg know that he had learned Klan so quickly, it would lower his life coefficient.

Secretly angry with the monitors, suppressing his strong desire to seek answers, the paint on his hands is getting more and more flying, but what he didn't expect is that these two monitors suddenly satisfy their curiosity.

"For the sake of the Empire, this forest must remain in our hands. Gulif looked somewhere outside the city and said, he was talking to Lan in Klan.

Lan: "For the sake of great cause, these Wagu Nagu people are simply a waste of resources, and they should be honored for providing the 'Star Maple Leaf' to the Empire!"

"They are not 'humans' after all, and they will not have a sense of imperial glory. ”

Arashi nodded in agreement.

Yu Youzi understood that the "human beings" in their mouths were not "people" in a broad sense, nor a nation in a narrow sense, but a race...... Several times in Kran and Pasi languages, I have heard them Hicklands talk about this topic, and compare the meaning of the word, and the "human" in their mouth means a branch of the evolutionary tree, just like the Persian cat and the bobtail cat are all branches of the cat class, and the "humans" in this world are different from those on the earth, and there are not only one branch of extreme differentiation, but many "humans" Because there are no other human beings, there is naturally no vocabulary to describe other human beings in the words, and it took me a long time to change my thinking to understand the concept of many human beings.

The Wagunagu people are not a different race or race in the sense of the earth, but an independent human race in the sense of human beings, and to put it more clearly, the concept of aliens, but they all live on the same land, just like the Irene race and another species. This phenomenon is also common in the Dimensional Blood War universe, where several intelligent races coexist on the same planet.

As for the "Star Maple Leaf" in their mouth, it should be fuel, a world where leaves can be burned as fuel after processing, eliminating the step of burying tens of thousands of years in the ground?

There was no more information to be gained from their conversation, and although Cliff was a fearless young man who was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, he had worked as a royal guard after all, and he was much more knowledgeable than Arashi, who had grown up in an ordinary village before he had been hanging out in the barracks. Greeve, who was in contact with front-line soldiers for the first time, couldn't help but talk about the resource strategy issues he had heard about......

In fact, it is similar to the concept of oil warfare on the earth, and this kind of inner demon machine does not have much high-tech content in Yu Youzi, and it is not very attractive as soon as it is as novel as the power motor - by observing the manufacturing process of this repair yard tank, from the armor layout to the track suspension, from the inner demon machine structure to the artillery design, Yu Youzi has mastered it all, in other words, as long as the conditions are sufficient, a Chickland tank can be built......

This is the so-called "reverse engineering", after the vehicle is disassembled and studied, you can carry out copycat production, so there is no need to stay here.

"Greeve take me back to my room to rest, I think I have an impression ......of maintenance work here," Yu Youzi said, discarding the graffiti brush in his hand.

"Yes......! Lord Snlupp, are you sure you want to live in the city library, although it is not a military target, it is not designated as the secret tunnels of the Emerald Wind Army as they say......"

This was Greef's homework to keep Prince Athabag safe, and he had long been aware of the dangers that might arise here.

"It's okay, this big rear, the portal and the No. 4 logistics base are also next to it, and the defense is so tight...... The main reason is that I'm a bit of a cleanliness addict, and I can't get used to living in your barracks. ”

β€œ...... What we have prepared for you is an officer's quarters, not a barracks, but a specially selected complete residence......"

"Ah, it's not safe to live with the officers, in case the enemy jumps over the wall and launches a suicide attack while it's dark. ”

β€œ...... Your Excellency has a point, but I will remind Sergeant Diri later...... So let's go to the library. ”

Arashi: "Wow, you're a bit good at drawing!"

Yu Youzi pretended not to understand and looked at Cliff and waited for him to translate.

Gulif also walked over to the brand-new main armor plate that was scattered on the side, looked at the graffiti that Arashi was pointing to, and said, "Arashi said you drew well...... Oh, that's kind of good. ”

Yu Youzi looked back at what he had painted, on the armor plate illuminated by the military high-brightness searchlight erected in the square, there was a red and black geometric dragon wing, which was actually an elongated, expanded and deformed bat wing, using a street graffiti style, it seems that this style of painting has not yet appeared in this world.

"Looks like a hardcore ......"

But as Greeve said, the wings outlined by the straight lines were more like the wings of steel than a creature...... But the hip-hop style street graffiti on the earth is said to be hard-core, which still surprises Yu Youzi, perhaps because there are only two colors of red and black and the background color is pure black.

A maintenance soldier drove a small forklift to carry the graffiti armor plate, and it seems that there are still small vehicles, although they are still using tracks.

The library in the city, whose name is still unknown, is still the same stone brick and concrete appearance on the outside, except for some green bonsai hanging on the outer wall that are damaged. Inside, it's a little different, in the center is a large spiral staircase, there are a total of four stairs for four people to spiral and entangle upwards, but the library is only three stories high, so it looks like a short and fat pillar, and combined with the whole arrangement of the room, it looks like a thick main tree trunk.

Rows of bookshelves are arc-shaped around the central staircase, the upper and lower shelves on each floor are the same as if they are connected to the ceiling, and the bookshelves are made very deep, and there are thin pillars that run through the upper and lower floors, which look like willows hanging down from the top of the tree.

"What a waste of space in this library. That was Greve's opinion, and he looked around with a large hand lamp.

"It's a waste of space, it's comfortable, find a reading room, it should be very spacious......" Yu Youzi was very conscious of the occupying army, and pointed to the recliner next to the desk of bonsai plants near the stairs and said, "The chair cushion is good, you can also take a few as mattresses and pillows when the time comes." ”

Arashi said goodbye and went to get dinner for the three of them first, and the remaining two of them went separately to find a place to rest with a magic lantern.

Compared with the Hero Country and the Karelian Kingdom, Hickland's magic props have a more metallic thick feeling, and it can be seen from the internal structure of the inner demon machine that they are not a technology developed with "stone crystal" as the core foundation.

Yu Youzi began to climb the stairs and loudly told Cliff that he was going to the third floor and asked him to search the second floor.

Not far away, the light line between the bookshelves swayed, and it was Cliff who said that he heard it, and Yu Youzi also shook the lantern in response, and then continued to walk up.

The central staircase on the second and third floors is surrounded by a large empty area, which is connected to the outer floor by eight walled one-way corridors, and the bookshelves are surrounded by them, which must be reached through the corridors...... If it weren't for the solid marble slabs at the foot of the walls, Yu Youzi really thought that he was walking on a single-plank bridge.

Bypassing the bookshelf, to the window, the sky has completely darkened, and the starry sky here is just as bright at night, because there is no star map, so it is impossible to determine the direction here, but according to the hero country is morning, this side has already passed dusk, according to the sun's circumferential trajectory to define the east and west directions, then this should be far east of the hero country.

Walking along the outer wall through a few windows, there was no end in sight on either side, Yu Youzi raised a lantern and shone out of a window, it was pitch black, except for the ruins of stone gray, earth brown, and plant color, there was no scenery to see.

Put the portable lamp on the desk in front of the window at any time, turn off the light, study the structure of the portable lamp by starlight, from the protective glass lampshade to the outer frame, remove one and turn on the switch once to check whether it will affect it, and finally until the square formed by removing a coil the size of a matchbox, the lamp will no longer be on.

Throwing the coil cube body that weighed about three No. 7 batteries, Yu Youzi probably understood the principle of the Hickland machine and equipment.

The energy of each world has a foundation, just as all the modern devices of the earth carry "electricity", and all the devices of this world carry the "magic" of the current unknown ontology.

The technology of the Hero Country is to use high-strength cement to encapsulate and fix the three-dimensional magic array circuit constructed from the demonic nature crystal. When the magic is filled with crystals, the corresponding magic will be activated, which is the principle of stone and crystal equipment.

Stone crystal is actually the abbreviation of stone seal crystal magic circuit.

And the Hickland side...... Yu Youzi lifted the coil block and looked at the starlight, this thing nested in the stomach under the lantern coverβ€”

In essence, it is still the application of magic power, the outer ring of this metal coil block is wrapped around the shape of a square to absorb magic power, and there is a complex geometry squeezed into a ball, according to the analogy, it should be a three-dimensional magic array circuit, and the illumination technique is in it, and there should be an amplification circuit such as spell enhancement, double, and strength, otherwise it won't be so bright.

Pick up the lantern frame, the weight is about one kilogram, look up and down and find a movable warehouse, this bin accounts for almost two-thirds of the volume of the lantern, can be removed as a whole, can not be opened, it should be charged stone crystal, battery board and other things.

After restoring the portable lamp, he lit it and began to check the bookshelf, it was obviously not Klan writing, which was not at all the same type as the text that Yu Youzi had peeked at on the documents, sand tables, and communication scrolls in the command room before.

The Hickland script is a typical type of alphabet spelling, but the text used in the books in this library is a bit of a hieroglyphic evolution, with a beautiful streamlined style.

As soon as he finished flipping through the two books in his hand by the light of the lantern, Cliff went up to the third floor and walked around to find him, telling him that Arashi had returned with dinner......

One basket contains a metal can, three metal boxes, three deep-bottomed plates, and three pairs of cutlery.

The tableware here is also very special, not all kinds of spoons, not knives and forks, and even chopsticks, but wooden "nails", a kind of nail cover that is long and thick on the thumb and index finger, with a flat head and a long finger.

The size and length of the nail sleeve of the thumb and index finger are different, as a corresponding pair, tied with a cord, and the root of the nail sleeve has an elastic fixing ring, so you don't have to worry about falling off.

Yu Youzi took a pair of nail covers, the pair of ropes had turned black due to long-term washing, the bolt rings of the rope were also stained with oil stains and black, and the elastic rings were no longer tight, I don't know how many people have used them......

Yu Youzi, who has a little cleanliness fetish, since he can eat covered meat with public utensils in the street market ten days ago, then of course he can also use this pair of nail covers, and he gave himself a simple psychological hint, and he followed Lan and Cliff's movements and put them on.

Although he was already hearing barrier-free, Yu Youzi still listened carefully to Greeve's real-time translation of Lan, and saw the three of them sitting around a large desk in the central staircase area on the first floor, turning off the two lanterns, Lan adjusted his lanterns to a wide area mode, and the direct light in front of him became a general light, so the circle of the table was bright, just like daytime.

Lan first set the plate and then took out the contents of the basket and introduced it, and Greeve translated it in real time:

"Arashi said he brought us an officer's meal...... This jar is, well, it's the vegetable and wheat porridge over there in the Hero Country...... A box of minced meat in the sauce, a box of crisp leaves...... Oh, and there's a box of mulled wine...... Arashi said that he forgot to take the cup, and that his soldier captain didn't have a ration of sweet wine so he forgot, and that he was going to get it now......"

"Why don't we eat first?" Yu Youzi suggested to Gulif as he looked at Arashi, who had already run out with an empty basket and a portable lamp.

"Eat, I'm hungry too, just leave one for him. ”

It was time to eat in the library, and there were people outside the library munching on the marching rations, and they saw the light coming from the direction of the library and began to talk.

"Sister, there's a signal in the library, did the helpers notice us as soon as we arrived? ”

"Wait a minute, I just saw an Imperial soldier go in......"

It was the twins from before, who were supposed to go back to the base to take a shower, and they didn't know why they were here, and the environment of ruined houses everywhere provided countless stealth spaces for the sisters who were familiar with the city. Now they had changed into gray camouflage uniforms and were lying behind a half-collapsed wall, holding binoculars and monitoring the library five hundred meters away, munching on hard cakes.

"Sister, let's see if it's that person!"

"Shhhhh......h I'll see, well, it's him, he's out!"

What they saw was Lan who ran back to the camp logistics office not far away to get a cup.

"Carrying a basket when he comes and goes, he's definitely stealing our books!"

β€œ...... As soon as he's gone, the library will be sure it's safe, let's get back a little bit, and then we'll sneak in later when the patrols are coming back...... Eat quickly. ”

"It's not that sister, you started eating me first...... Secretly sneaking in and eating halfway, my sister is really a child. ”

"I, I, I'm not afraid that I'm hungry and screaming to expose my whereabouts!

"No! I'll just be obedientβ€”" muttered at the same time: if you find out, just find a detour. As a result, her sister heard it, and it was a good mess.

The twins hid in the ruins, like a pair of fairies in the woods who had lurked in the trees, and when the patrol that had traveled the mountain with Lan carried Lan to the library, there was no trace of anything left but a few inconspicuous crumbs of bread in the rubble......
