Chapter 891: The Color of Life
Dunant knew the craft of the bone mech.
As a craftsman, he has understood any kind of mechanical knowledge. Especially in mecha technology, the craftsman is definitely the most proficient and apex person. Bone mechs are the least demanding of all mech technologies, and are not popular due to the amount of energy consumed. Compared with steel mechas, the hardness of bone mecha is also far from enough. Therefore, no one has always focused on the technology of bone mechas.
Because Sand Island has no shortage of energy and very few gold and iron minerals, the main research of bone mecha is a forced development.
Lift the bony mech.
Compared to the others, Dunant knows a little more, for example, there is a bone mecha that is the most technically demanding of all mechas, and it is called ...... Twin God Mecha.
Its material is called: God Bone Steel.
In the knowledge base of the craftsmen of the past generations...... The lowest technology is a bone mecha, and the highest technology is also a bone mecha.
At this time.
In the back corner of the mecha shop, there is a sound of clanging and creaking. Seeing Dunant and the shopping guide woman walk in, a group of workers were stunned. There were no men in the back shop, just a group of well-built women. Perhaps because of the casting and grinding work, the curves of their bodies are more obvious.
"Sister Lan, why did you bring someone in?"
A group of women were at work without much clothing, not even a pair of shorts. Bai Huahua's body swayed and fluctuated, and when she saw Dunan, she didn't cover it, and she didn't seem to mind that this handsome little guy was enjoying her eyes. Or maybe there are too few men in the sand island, and they don't mind being admired by someone who appreciates their beautiful body.
"This guest is very interested in mecha technology, so ...... Hey, what about Master Xiangyun? The shopping guide explains.
Eyes search, and find that the most important person is missing.
The most skilled person in the whole workshop is not there, how can this business be done?
"Master Xiangyun went to the Lonely Leaf Cave." Some of the working women answered.
She ran again...... Alas, you see the guests......"
"This is your reward." Dunant took out a fragment, a crazy enough 'huge sum', and said, "Just tell me where the Lone Leaf Cave is." I've seen these mecha techniques, and they're pretty good. The bone mecha mainly relies on the depiction technology, and the interval position of these mecha energy nodes, the series convergence, the scoring diversion, and the convergence explosion point are all perfectly matched. It can be said that the bone mecha technology in the general sense, this has been achieved to the extreme level. ”
"Multi-...... Thank you for your reward, ...... You are ......" The shopping guide beauty trembled.
Characters who can re-appreciate broken crystals at will, except for travelers, don't think about two people.
General.
There are very few people who can get the barter of sand crystals, and most of them are traded in animal bones and tendons. The 'money' of Sand Island is up and down, left and right, and the problem is that ordinary people can't knock it out. Even the pseudo-star gods of the first star level are helpless against the crystal pillar. Their strength alone is as difficult as an ant trying to bite a diamond.
"Where's the Lone Leaf Cave?" Dunant asked with a smile.
"Oh...... Oh, over there, that...... A hole in the ground of the outer city wall that was knocked out by a miracle force. There are a lot of spinel sword stones in it, which are easy to stab...... Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the villain didn't mean that, the villain ......" The shopping guide beauty wanted to remind her, but instantly thought that the person in front of her would not be afraid of the sword-like crystal thorns.
Desperately apologizing, Dunant waved his hand to stop it, so that he wouldn't bother with such an ordinary person.
"Thank you." Dunant smiled, turned and walked out.
After a while.
A group of women bounced up with joy and screamed wildly. Today's income is much more than they have worked hard for decades or hundreds of years.
"It turns out that the traveler is not so scary."
"That's it."
"It's really good-looking, and it's good-looking."
"That's it."
"It's a pity that you can't look down on us, I knew that I would look better in it, no, take it off a little more."
"That's it."
A group of women were chatting noisily, and with this huge reward, they didn't have to be busy for a while. Speaking of which, Sand Island is a world where bad luck and luck go hand in hand, and a moment of good luck and a moment of death are things that happen in the blink of an eye. After all, a traveler with millions of stars is so different from a mortal without divine powers, no matter how small the reward, it is an unimaginable weight for them.
The other side at this time.
Dunant slowly walked to a cave in the Roots of the City.
You can see it.
It is a cave that has been struck out by a powerful divine force, and it has been destroyed by the battle between travelers. The cave collapse to this extent is not a trivial matter, and the spars on Sand Island are extremely hard, and it is not easy for millions of travelers with star-level divine power to destroy them on a large scale. Such a destructive power must be a real fight.
Walk in slowly.
The four humanoid escort mechs automatically surrounded them, and when they saw that they were 'human', they paused again, and then turned to leave.
The sound of children reading can be heard inside the cave, which is particularly loud in such a cave.
Dunant looked around as he walked.
As the shopping guide beauties said, there are spines everywhere here, and it is difficult to live with peace of mind. This kind of spike has no effect on travelers, and is extremely dangerous to ordinary people and even the 'crystal thorns' of the one-star level pseudo-star gods. As long as the impact is fast enough, or strong enough, the crystal spike can easily penetrate the defenses of any mech.
These crystal swords are extremely sharp, and there is nothing in the sand islands that can defend against them, except for the hedron itself.
Along the way, there were animal bones nailed to the crystal pillars everywhere.
As you can imagine.
Several or dozens of fierce beasts broke in and hunted down the people living inside, only to crash to death on the crystal pillar. Dunant slowly understood that this was not only a place of life, but also a place to defend against foreign enemies. The mecha guards lurking along the way must be a protective force against small beasts.
Hearing the sound of reading, Dunant was also a little strange.
Sand Island also has a knowledge inheritance?
"Hardship is a kind of life, and happiness is also a kind of life. No matter hardship or happiness, we must never be discouraged. We are different from wild beasts because we know how to be honest and shameful, because we know how to be self-disciplined, because we know how to create the unknown. If there is no intellectual civilization, we are no different from wild beasts. Even if one day you encounter a great reward from God, you don't know how to deal with it. Learning, teaching, and passing on are the continuation of the flame of civilization. ”
In a teaching field like a forest of thorns, a plain-clothed woman is teaching speeches.
Surrounded by a large group of small children.
There are more than 1,000 of them.
There are a few years old and there are teenagers.
"You may think in your hearts that Sand Island is in danger of being destroyed at any time. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of years, one day will be swallowed by the sea of chaos. True, this is unexpected. However, creatures are not wonderful because they know how to hunt for food, but because they know how to live. We have wisdom for thinking, not for wasting. We can't be satisfied with eating and drinking, we have to look to the future. Now this knowledge is being passed on for the sake of the hope of continuing from generation to generation, and the hope of one day jumping out of the sand island. ”
"Teacher, can we learn knowledge without Sand Island?"
"No, not yet. As long as you work hard, one day in the future, there will always be a generation that can do it. If you think you're doing useless work and don't learn the lineage, then our civilization is broken. To put it cruelly, it is as if we are using our own corpse as a cornerstone, building step by step, inch by inch, so that future generations have the opportunity to stand on the highest ground with the help of our inheritance and complete our salvation. We tried to do it, and we probably won't succeed either. If we don't, then we have no hope at all. ”
"Teacher, what's the point of hope if we don't have enough to eat?"
"You're right. We can't even guarantee a life, what's the point of hope. The teacher can't refute this sentence, so he can only say: If we are well fed but there is no hope in our hearts, isn't this a more miserable life? Children, have you ever seen the little birds in cages? They are well fed, well drunk, protected from wind and rain, and not in danger. But if you were the bird, would you be willing to fly out and see the more dangerous world out there? ”
Not all children can understand these words.
Some people understand, some people half-understand...... I only felt that the birds were miserable in a cage.
"There are many more children on the island, and they don't want to come and learn. So, not everyone in the world thinks the same way. Children, the teacher will not force you to keep going this way. I can only tell you that if there is something you leave behind in your lifetime to pass on to future generations, then it will not be a pity to be devoured by unfortunate beasts. Because, you have not lived in vain in this life. On the contrary, even if you enjoy all the prosperity and find that you have nothing left behind when you are dying, you will definitely feel sorry. Because, your life has been wasted. ”
"Teacher, how do you know?"
"Because the teacher has died, and more than once. The teacher didn't know why. There are always all kinds of strange forces that keep bringing back the teacher's life. It may be that these forces feel that the teacher's work is not yet done, so they do not let the teacher rest. Children, whether you believe each other or not, study hard, at least you can tell if what the teacher says is true or false. ”
"Oh oh, teacher, do you have an immortal life?"
"Nope. The teacher is just an ordinary person, and he can't even beat a wild dog. The teacher has been bitten to death by wolves, devoured by large snakes, and killed by humans. Occasionally, they were killed, poisoned, or burned. However, the teacher's life has been brought back by someone, and at most it seems like he has been resting for decades. Kids, do you want to die again and again? ”
"I don't want to." The children feel that their life is already miserable and they don't want to go through it a second time.
"Hehe......" the plain woman smiled.
Then turn your head slowly.
Looking at Dunant, who was approaching and standing, he asked, "Sir, are you interested in the little woman's 'experience'?" ”
"Nope."
Dunant smiled, ignored the vigilant gaze of the children, and said: "No matter what the environment, there are always some special 'colors' in life. For example, you, teacher. If this is a stable planet inhabited, it is not uncommon to see a sincere educator like you. But in Sand Island, a character like you is rare. It's like seeing a gem in a pile of gems that has no light. In a pile of stones, the gemstones will shine brightly. Teacher, you have the brilliance of this 'gem'. ”
The plain-clothed woman bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, I just did what I was supposed to do." If the gentleman has any curiosity, please don't embarrass these children. ”
"I'm really not curious. Your 'resurrection' is not surprising, for example......"
Dunant raised his hand lightly.
Suddenly, the crystal forest trembled slightly, a simple tombstone broke, and a few wisps of blood ash floated up.
Slowly.
Absorbing the energy in the air, it slowly condensed into the appearance of a sturdy man. From the bones to the muscles, from the muscles to the skin, the whole person slowly recovered and reorganized, and finally in the exclamation of 'whew', the whole person suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing the children, the man was shocked and confused.
The plain woman approached quickly, took off her clothes and surrounded the man.
"Lan'er, I'm not ......"
"I know I know, you were eaten by a wild wolf to save the children...... Now, you're back. The plain-clothed woman hugged the man and burst into tears. Turning his head to look at Dunant, the 'gratitude' in his eyes could not be described in words.
At this time, the man also knew why he was 'resurrected'.
The children were also shocked.
It turns out that it is true that the teacher can 'die and rise again', and now the same thing is happening in front of my eyes.
"Don't thank me."
Dunant waved his hand and said, "As I said, characters like you are the 'color' of life. With a character like you, this sand island will be even better. In fact, it is not difficult to resurrect you, even if there is not a trace of the body left, as long as the soul remains, a warrior with divine power may reorganize a body. I can still read that you used to be a half-sheep, half-human orc, not a human body now. You say you've been 'resurrected' many times, and I'm not curious at all. Beautiful colors will always be seen by someone. Any traveler on Sand Island can resurrect you, and they didn't reorganize the others because it's not worth the shot, you know? ”
"Multi-...... Thank you, Your Excellency. The plain-clothed woman was stunned, and the man thanked him repeatedly.
Dunant flicked his fingers.
In an instant, a star heart melted into the man's chest, and a divine power helped him transform and grow.
"I said, no thanks. On the contrary, I would like to thank you for allowing me to see this 'persistent hope' once again. There are not many things that can make me happy, and this is the reward you deserve. With one-star divine power, at least it will be easier for you to protect this group of children. With that, Dunant turned and left.
After entering this sand island.
For the first time.
Dunant saw something 'worthy' to look at differently...... This persistent and unquenchable hope. (To be continued.) )
