Chapter 46: Energy Sources
There was a metal ball on the table, dusty, inconspicuous at all, and a large number of runes were densely written on the metal ball, which looked like Shuer's handwriting.
Lisa found that not long after Orlana left last night, Shul began to stare at the metal ball and observe it repeatedly, but he didn't expect that this morning, he actually began to look at it in a daze again, if it wasn't for the girl secretly watching Shuer's situation outside the window in the middle of the night, she must have wondered if he hadn't slept all night and had been staring at the ball in a daze.
Unable to understand what a wrecking ball was so good about, Lisa couldn't help but ask her doubts, but she didn't expect to get the answer that made her almost lift the table.
A source of energy?
Yesterday, when my brother and Orlana reported on their mission, they had repeatedly mentioned this term, and Lisa was also beside them, so it was clear that the so-called energy source was the culprit of this incident, almost killing more than 100,000 people in the city in an instant, and it was also the culprit who injured my brother's hands.
Shuer said that the problem was solved, Lisa always thought that he had destroyed the energy source to restore the environment to normal, who knew that his brother actually brought this thing back, and just threw it on the table casually, Lord, my brother is irritated, and plans to kill everyone together?
"It's not that exaggerated, this thing is actually controllable, it's just that I didn't know the method before, and now I've turned it off, you see, it's just an ordinary metal ball now, as long as you don't find your own death and destroy it, it's harmless. ”
"And what if someone has to break it?"
"Hehe......"
"Good, I already know the answer. Lisa shuddered, and moved a little farther away, "I don't want to get near it at all. ”
"It's actually safe, you see. The great Lord Lisa almost popped her eyes out, because Shul actually picked up the energy source as if nothing happened, and tossed it between his hands to play with it, as if it were really an ordinary ball, "It's safe, it's stable, it's shockproof, it's okay to throw it like this, so ...... Ah. ”
So, Mistress Lisa watched indifferently as the energy source slammed to the ground and rolled to her feet with a grunt.
"Bastard brother!" staring at her feet expressionlessly for a few seconds, Lisa suddenly erupted, threw herself on Shuer's back, and bit his head viciously, "Make you safe, make you stable, let you oops, let you scare me, I'll bite you to death." ”
"Bloodshed, bleeding, bleeding. Shure's wail was miserable, "How did you manage to bite me and still talk?" ”
"It's a stunt that only a sister can do, and a bastard brother will never learn. Lisa said angrily, "You tell me honestly, what the hell is this, if it's really such a dangerous thing, you can't even play with it in front of me, no, you can't even bring it to me." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll be honest, it's really an energy source, it's just that it's not dangerous at all right now, it's safe, it's stable, don't bite, don't bite, no kidding, it's not dangerous now, it's because the energy inside it has been depleted. Just like a high-capacity spar, a normal high-capacity spar is easy to explode, but after running out of energy, it is a fast ordinary stone, which can be thrown and played with casually, and this is the same. ”
"Hmph, I'll just say it. Lisa finally let Shuer's head go, picked up the empty energy source and played with it, "Why did you run out of energy all of a sudden?"
"It continues to produce such a strong destructive effect, and it covers a range of hundreds of kilometers, you really think you don't need to spend energy. Shuer grabbed the energy source and explained, "This thing is actually a charging array, which can actively absorb free energy from the environment to recharge itself, and the higher the energy concentration in the environment, the faster it can be charged." Of course, if the energy concentration is high enough, it can be charged even in a passive state, but the efficiency is outrageously low, and the energy will quickly escape and cannot be accumulated. ”
"The Emerald Light knows, it's actually a beacon that identifies its location, and it will be turned on for a fixed period of time, as for why it lasts for thousands of years......"
"Because it's absorbing energy all the time?" Lisa guessed, "and then supply it to the Emerald Light?"
"That's right, for thousands of years, it has been receiving energy from the environment all the time, but because it is in a passive state, the energy cannot be stored, and everything but the part that supplies the emerald light escapes directly. Because the escape of energy proceeds at the same time as absorption, the amount of escape distributed to each moment is very small, so small that it cannot have an impact on the living body, so the effect of yesterday has never appeared. ”
"And what happened yesterday?" asked Lisa, puzzled, "Did you suddenly absorb a lot of energy?"
"Yes, because of a fortuitous accident. Shure hesitated for a moment, still not elaborating on what the accident was, "The concentration of energy in its absorption range suddenly increased to a terrifying level, causing its reserves to fill up instantly, and the result was that it continued to radiate energy to all sides, killing almost all living beings. ”
"Thanks to the Heart of the City, I've heard that idiot describe the scene outside, and without the Heart of the City, I can't imagine what would happen to us. Lisa exhaled lightly and said fearfully, "Actually, we are still lucky, if we happened to be outside the city yesterday and did not enter the city, I am afraid ...... Wait, it's a bit wrong, there are twenty-one Jade Lights, and they are widely distributed, if it's like what my brother said, then why aren't there any problems in other cities?"
"Because it absorbs farther than the other twenty, and can even extend into the void. Shul sighed, "It's special. ”
"Huh?"
"Inside it, there was a memory from another world that was sleeping before, heh, they don't have the concept of a soul, only memory. If we put it in other words, it is not completely dead, the soul has not yet dissipated, well, at least not yesterday. ”
"Wait, brother, wait. Lisa's mouth was about to close, and even her voice became sharp, "I'm a little messy, what a soul, what a memory, you won't tell me that this thing is alive, right?" ”
"I see that you are getting smarter and smarter, alas, how did you beat me again. After being punched in the back by Lord Lisa, Shure finally became honest, "I thought these things were the wreckage of their warship after the explosion, but in the end I realized that I guessed wrong, they were not the wreckage of the battleship at all, but a part of the body of those creatures. ”
"Huh?"
"Let's be clear, these things that emit emerald light belong to the creations of another world's civilization, and their way of existence is completely different from ours, and their bodies are made of metal. Because of the world disaster, they rushed into a special space on a huge battleship, and as a result, the battleship was destroyed in a special space, and most of the crew members died, and the few remaining ones started the escape procedure before the destruction of the battleship, that is, they ejected part of their body containing the core, waiting for the rescue of the same kind, but unfortunately, they were the last survivors, and there was no one of the same kind. ”
Lisa blinked, momentarily incomprehensible. What is the situation? Is it equivalent to cutting off his own head and throwing it out when he encounters danger? Is this an escape or suicide? And doesn't this mean that my brother is just throwing other people's hearts and brains around as a ball? This is too exaggerated.
"Life forms are different, for them, as long as they find the core in time, they can be saved. The two were so familiar that Lisa didn't have to open her mouth to guess what she was thinking, "And the core is not a brain, it's more of an energy supply device, even if it breaks, it can be replaced at any time, of course, that was before the destruction." ”
"Anyway, after the ejection was ejected, they traveled through that space for a long time, and they encountered many dangers during this time, all supported by a charged core and energy shield. Unfortunately, even with the help of the shield, their memories, that is, their souls, dissipated one by one, and only the last one...... "Shure raised the energy source in his hand," that is, "he is the last leader of the race, and the remaining survivors have been protecting him with their lives until finally, by chance, he successfully smuggled to Parvatiga along with the core of those who have lost their memories. ”
In the end, it was an incomparably long drift, and in order to keep his memories longer, he chose to fall asleep, not even knowing that he had fallen on the planet Pavatiga, until yesterday, when the energy source was full of energy, and he was stimulated to wake up from his deep sleep. ”
"Hi. Lisa smiled awkwardly and waved at the ball that Shuer held in her hand, and the girl always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her, "Hello, my name is Lisa." ”
"Lisa, it's still yesterday to be alive, and now he's completely dead, his soul is gone, his memory is lost, and the traces of existence are all that remains as this energy source. Shul rolled his eyes, "So, when did you like talking to corpses?"
"Dead?" Lisa was a little stunned, listening to Shure's story, it was like listening to a strange story, the protagonist of the story went through pain and suffering, and finally escaped from a desperate situation, shouldn't it be a happy ending for all?
"Because I dismantled him. ”
"Hey, brother. ”
"Ahem, well, in fact, it was on the verge of dissipating as early as when his soul or memory chose to sleep, and it was the sleep that delayed the time of his death. Shuer's voice carried a faint melancholy, "Now that I have finally woken up from my dream and fulfilled my last wish, it is time to reunite with his people." ”
"Reuniting in another world, another world in the truest sense of the word. ”
"One last wish?"
"Hmm. ”
