Chapter 41: The Bow Gun
A huge piece of metal stands in the corner of the cavern, and it is only when you take a few steps back and look up to see it in its entirety.
This is a triangular pyramid-shaped behemoth, even after spending thousands of years in this damp cave, there is still no trace of rust on the surface, although it cannot be said to be like new, but at least it still maintains the texture of metal, throwing a small stone from afar, the impact sound is crisp, yes, it is definitely metallic, and it is intact until now.
The three sides of the metal cone are smooth, and there are many strange lines connected to each other, not words or graphics, more like the staggered lines of the magic array, the lines have no concave and convex feeling, and they are definitely not engraved, but if you look closely, it doesn't seem to be painted, but it seems to be nested with different metals.
As for the last side of the triangular pyramid, the one directly below, it was jagged like a canine's tooth, as if it had been torn apart by the force of the impact. Through the uneven side, you can see the inside of the cone, there are many large parts installed inside, and the parts are stuffed with metal, but there are countless small holes like honeycomb on the metal of the internal filling, and it can be vaguely seen from the section of the holes, and the hole wall also has a texture very similar to the surface. If nothing else, these lines should be the energy channels of the cone, and I don't know whether they supply energy or emit energy, but they must be inseparable from the energy channels.
"Very strange shape. Saph gestured with his fingers for a long time, as if to restore the original appearance of the metal body, "Generally, this kind of vertical upward cone is usually built into a positive cone, and the three cones are the same, so as to conform to the architectural aesthetics." You see, the black stone towers we saw in the projection world a few days ago are typical examples, which shows that even if the world is different, at least there are similarities in aesthetics. However, now the top of this thing is obviously biased to one side, how awkward to look at. ”
No one dared to get too close to the metal block, this was the source of the light of destruction, something that could emit devastating energy covering a range of hundreds of kilometers, who knew what would happen if you touched it directly, it was better to be careful. Therefore, both of them kept a certain distance from their targets and only dared to observe from a distance.
"What if it wasn't actually straight up, but flat?" said Shull, flattening his arm to simulate a piece of metal, "and when it was intact, it was laid flat at this angle, with the jagged side connected to a larger device at the same angle behind it. Hmm, it feels a lot like Yulia's floatboat. ”
"It's kind of like, then it's something like a bow statue. ”
"No, no, not the bow statue, but the bow gun. Shuer shook his head and said, "Do you remember the stereoscopic images that Wei showed us in the world of insects? ”
How could he not remember, Saph felt that he would never forget the scene he saw for the rest of his life. The kilometer-long battleship approached the insect planet from the void, and after the bow continued to glow and accumulate energy, it also sprayed a devastating energy wave, and under the high temperature, the fungus blanket, insect swarm and nest were directly vaporized, and not even a single residue could be found.
"It's very likely. The scholar's curiosity was aroused, and Saf wanted to rush up and lay the metal block flat and restore it to its proper appearance, but fortunately, he still had his senses, and he didn't dare to do anything stupid, so he could only imagine the situation of charging the tip of the metal cone and then shooting the light of destruction at the target, "No wonder there is such a huge amount of energy in it, it seems that it is really like what you said when you came, this is a powerful weapon." ”
Although there is no direct contact, the two of them are fully perceptual, and they can naturally perceive the energy situation inside the target, visually, this is just a larger wreckage, but in the world of energy, what they perceive is a different situation.
There was no longer a metal object in front of him, but a vast mass of energy, a huge amount of energy that continued to contract and stretch like a heartbeat, and every time it stretched, a large amount of energy would radiate outward through the metal shell.
Even through the suits, the two of them could feel that the energy emitted was full of the aura of destruction, and the world that was originally shrouded in the light of destruction outside was already very abnormal, but compared to the metal object in front of them, the energy outside was simply thin as if it did not exist.
And the most critical problem is that there is no trace of the object starting to run, and if it is, then there is either sound, or light, and even if it is not, at least there will be a directional flow of energy inside.
However, now that these characteristics are gone, the two can only think that in fact, it is not running, and it is still dormant, but thinking about the corpses they saw along the way, as well as the activated city heart, it is just a dormant state, can it really cause such serious results?
"Saf, do you have any energy measuring equipment?"
"Well, but my equipment is mainly for the spatial energy projected by the otherworld, and the sensitivity to other kinds of energy is very low, and there will be a large error when forcibly measured. ”
"It's okay, you can test it first. Shul cautiously ordered, "Ten meters position, five meter position, and zero distance." Mind you, just put the device on, don't touch the surface of it, I don't want to imagine you turning into a sarcoma monster. ”
"Don't say such terrible things. Saf was so frightened that her body trembled a little, that monster was so disgusting, not to mention that it really became like that, even if you associate yourself with it, it would be creepy.
"Be careful when you know you're afraid. ”
Saf gave him a sneaky look, pouted and began to install the energy measurement equipment, and after installing it, he just turned it on and prepared to take a reading, but immediately turned off the equipment again.
"What's wrong? Too much energy?"
"The energy intensity is okay. ”
"Huh, is this okay?" the corners of Shuer's mouth twitched, just by radiating energy
But the purity is too high. Safu looked at the huge metal block in front of him and said in disbelief, "It feels like it's reading to a pure energy body, and if I don't turn it off quickly, I guess even my equipment will be scrapped." ”
"Explain. Shuer asked suspiciously, "Can the two be viewed separately?"
"Generally, it can't be seen separately, because energy has the property of diffusion and dilution, high-purity energy will diffuse to the surroundings, and with diffusion, strength and purity will be greatly weakened, so high-purity energy is often very strong, once the strength is reduced, the purity will inevitably be reduced. ”
"So......" Shure pointed to the metal block.
"But there are exceptions, like some special energy sources, which are themselves the materialization of energy, the purest energy body, and the purity is extremely high, but if it is in a controllable state and does not spread all the energy outward at once, the energy intensity around it is relatively low. ”
"I don't understand. Shuer scratched his hood, "What is the so-called special energy source?"
"Well, let's take the simplest example. Saf pondered for a moment before saying, "For example, if Lord Luna came to the mortal world, and I measured her with a device when she wasn't showing her majesty, I would get this result. And Lord Sur, if I had measured the body of Lord Sur from a distance, I would have come up with the same result, the distance diluted the intensity of the sunlight, but could not dilute its purity. ”
The corners of Shure's mouth twitched, he understood Saf's example, the question was ......
"You're not going to tell me there's a god living in it. ”
"How could it be. Saph shook her head vigorously, this was too whimsical, "I'm just giving you an example, the purity of energy here is not yet as pure as a god. ”
"Well, in short, there is a dwelling in it, no, there is a very pure energy source hidden. ”
"Shure, you're underestimating it. Unexpectedly, Saf said solemnly, "I specifically emphasized that only 'special' energy sources are acceptable. First of all, it must be controllable, and it will not diverge at one time, which can barely be done with some means, and secondly, and most importantly, it is extremely pure, higher than you think, so I am very rude to use the gods as an example. ”
"Well, in fact, it is conceivable that the metal block is only so large in total, but it can send out an energy attack covering at least hundreds of square kilometers, and it is impossible to do it without a strong enough energy supply. ”
"Yes, so be careful if you want to destroy it. Saph clenched her fists nervously, it was obvious that it was the first time she had been in close contact with such a powerful energy source, "Generally, the more powerful the energy aggregate, the more unstable it is, without the control of divinity, a high concentration of energy aggregate is a bomb, just like the higher the content of the hedron the easier it is to explode." And if the energy inside them really bursts out at one time, the scope of the impact will probably not be small, at least the Lion City ......"
"Don't worry, I'm measured. Shure patted Saf on the shoulder to show gratitude, knowing full well that Saf was not only worried about the safety of the Lion City, but also for his safety.
Indeed, this mission seems to be very simple, it is nothing more than a piece of metal, even if it is larger, it is not impossible to destroy it. However, now that there is a high-intensity energy source, the problem is much more serious, and once it is not handled well, the disaster caused will not be smaller than the light of destruction emitted before.
"What time is it?"
"Coincidentally, there are eight minutes left. Saph looked at the timer, and she knew exactly what Shul was asking.
"Then wait. Shuer muttered, "It's a bit too arbitrary to make a judgment based on energy perception and conjecture now, so let's wait for the Emerald Light to come out and see if the situation changes, and then we'll talk about our task." ”
