Chapter 273: What's wrong with this world
Extraordinary power, so that Kane has extraordinary abilities.
Just by judging the path of the sun in the sky, he can roughly know what season it is.
Of course, you also need to pay attention to the surrounding vegetation, broad-leaved, deciduous leaves, coniferous, and the type of plant will tell Kane where he is located.
The trees he saw here were mainly deciduous trees, which meant temperate zones.
Then, by observing the sun's trajectory in the sky, it is determined that it is autumn.
The temperature is about minus 5 degrees Celsius, which is comparable to winter.
If this is the norm, then trees should not be deciduous trees.
If it was just an occasional cold wave, then the message brought back by the Spell Eagle should not be that the nearby buildings were in ruins.
After a moment of thought, Kane released the spell crow. Like the Flying Eagle, an important casting material for this type of spell is the Spirit of the Bird.
Tame birds, after death, take their souls, use alchemy to create ghost-like energy bodies, keep in special spirit cages, and use them when needed.
This was one of the resources Hermione had brought back from another alternate world, and Kane hadn't clicked on the tech tree yet.
The difference between the spirit crow and the spirit eagle is that the spirit crow can fly farther, but it does not have the ability to share vision, it brings back perceptual information, which can be understood as an alternative dynamic graphic simulation information, which is very unpleasant to look at, but can basically express the meaning clearly.
Let the crow go to the wider area to investigate, while Kane himself rests on the spot.
At six hours, he woke up on his own, full of energy.
The Raven also brought back the message.
Kane, looking at that information, concluded:
This is indeed the world of sinful spirits, and it is the world of sinful spirits in the dark direction.
However, it's like a destructively mined mine, not a quacky new Torment World, but someone else's leftovers.
Whether it was played bad by the reincarnators, and then abandoned by the Vientiane Gate system, or it was originally quite new, but it was played by Voldemort's master, the snake father Igo, I don't know.
He is not too inclined to the latter, because if Igo plays it, it will cause the civilization of this world to fall into the wind of plasma violence, not steampunk.
Of course, he only speculated that Voldemort's master was Iago, and there was not enough evidence to confirm this. So there is also the possibility of guessing wrong, as far as he knows, the incarnations of the troublesome Nyarrathotep are likely to contribute to the birth of steampunk.
After all, according to legend, the original power technology and nuclear fission technology were deliberately leaked to humans by Naia. It is the kind of character who deliberately writes a book of martial arts secrets, then brags about it, and then sits and watches the people in the rivers and lakes compete and fight.
Since this world is steampunk-style, these scum-level transcendent resources in front of him have a better destination.
Low-end alchemy magic array to create low-magic materials. This kind of material is like the vampires and werewolves of the next generation, saying that it is mortal, it is somewhat transcendent, saying that it is transcendent, but it is a bit exalted.
The use of the extraordinary as ordinary is a typical characteristic of this type of material. So it took about thirty hours for Kane to build a land steam-powered car, which was driven like a steam train, the steam pushed the lever, and the lever pulled and turned the wheels, and the wheels allowed the car to move forward, and the speed could not exceed 40 miles, but it was a means of transportation that was very in line with the civilization background of this era.
He then embarks on a quest to find enough supernatural resources to build a space-time portal for his return. At worst, he has to launch a space-time beacon to the dark HP world before the main body can find a way to rescue him. Now that the two places are disconnected, the only good thing is that he doesn't need to rush back this time.
The transcendent energy of this world was extremely barren, and he could hardly feel the existence of elemental power, and even to maintain his minimum needs, he had to rely on reserves.
In such a situation, if you want to obtain enough extraordinary resources, you need to grasp both open source and throttling.
His intention is to promote the mortal world with the transcendent, and collect the transcendent with the mortal world. Use the extraordinary resources you already have to your advantage to get more extraordinary resources.
Therefore, he plans to find the human race first and find out the news, if he can't get the information he wants, then he can only drive more people to serve him in order to achieve his goal.
The planet of the Torn World was originally Earth, and now he was sure that he was in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. Then going south should be the right choice, he calculated, at most 1-2 days, he can see the same humans fleeing south.
The exploration of the magic crow had made him plan a route south, and at the current pace, he would be able to enter a large city early tomorrow morning, where he hoped to get some important information.
For example, maps, resource exploitation.
In the context of steampunk, the four most important resources are coal, iron, water and wood.
In his memory, he had a map of the earth's resource distribution, and even the resource distribution map of the Sinful Soul World, all of which he recalled after becoming a god, and could be called at any time.
But this is the world of tormented souls that have been corrupted, and God knows if the resources in those memories have been exploited. And if he wants to establish the foundation of mortals, whether he can use local materials or not, the difference is definitely big, especially the first base, which cannot be lost.
Because of how riveting and steaming, his steam locomotive could travel south day and night without delaying his normal rest.
He deliberately etched a concentrating magic array on the roof cover, and did not hesitate to make the roof cover into a large circle.
As a result, the harvest in one night was very few, and even the power of darkness was pitiful. He calculated that just the cost of making this magic circle would take a month to collect it before it could be repaid, and this was not counting the cost of running the magic circle.
There is no doubt that this is a painful revenue situation, even if the wizards of the HP come, when the mana is exhausted, it will take more than three days to recover the mana.
This means that in this world, supernatural technology is far less applicable than technology, and the general trend of this supernatural power drying up and drying up cannot be created by a blizzard-like plunder.
Again, since the environment here is even more unfriendly to the transcendent than the environment of the Dark HP world, why was Sutton moved by Voldemort's lobbying?
Kane firmly believes that as a BOSS, at least Sutton still has the wisdom, so a simple mouth cannon can't fool him, he must have seen the dry goods, and after some calculation, he participated in it.
In other words, for some special reason, the world has formed a polarization of enrichment and poverty of extraordinary energy?
The only problem with this seems to be the explanation, but what about the emergency measures?
The capital invested in the space-time trap is so large, Voldemort is only one controller, and he doesn't even have a few axes?
When he had nothing to do, Kane was cranky, and in the end he couldn't come up with a reason.
And that kind of bloody episode of encountering little beauties, robbers, wild monsters or anything on the road didn't happen.
In fact, he really wants to see the living, so that he can get information.
It's a pity that no, it's always empty, and there is no sign of people.
Later in the night, Kane heard the cry of a cold wind, and the weather changed suddenly, and by the next day, the lead cloud was overhead, not low, but covering the sky tightly.
Kane judged that there was no chance to clear up in the next few days.
By the time the steam truck reached the edge of the city, the snow was already falling and sprinkling, adding a dynamic and gloomy atmosphere to the frozen world.
Kane drove into the city, and soon found out through the details that the people in the city had left in a hurry, but in general the basic order was maintained.
Most of the houses are closed doors and windows, the homes are not messy, the belongings are in place, and the furniture is covered with dust-proof cloths, and it is clear that when the owner left, he planned to return after a while.
Through detailed observation, Kane also speculated on the technological level of human civilization in this world. From the point of view of daily necessities, it was around 1890.
At the end of the Victorian era, people were still immersed in the atmosphere created by the rich rewards of the Industrial Revolution, with energy and passion.
And such a background is indeed at a fork in the road. From 1890 to 1910 in the history of the earth, there was a period of three-legged dominance of steam cars, electric cars, and internal combustion engine vehicles.
It is interesting to note that the most common fuel used in early steam cars (cars, not trains) was gasoline, followed by kerosene, and coal burning was rare.
Looking at steampunk from the perspective of the technology tree, in a word, it is understood that if the developed external combustion engine (steam engine) is developed first at this fork in the road, what will the future look like?
This is actually what later generations of netizens jokingly called the technology tree of human civilization is what it is now, which is connected by countless coincidences and inevitability, if it is crooked, the situation will be very different.
For example, the radiation series universe, the premise is that the transistor was not invented for 47 years, but the electron tube was used until the middle of the 21st century, and there was a breakthrough, but in the process of rapid catch-up, a nuclear war broke out.
The addition of key technologies can often have a lot of interesting effects on history, and in the end, although they are different from each other, the process shows the diversity of all roads leading to Rome.
If it's just the deepening of the external combustion engine, it won't be too crooked, but if there is an extraordinary force to exert influence, resulting in the emergence of so-called black technology, then it can take you to pretend to be better than to take you to fly.
Like this world, Kane's simple estimate is that its technology is high-end, and it can detect the level of science and technology on Earth in 1945.
In 1945, the ME262 jet fighter developed by the desperate Third Reich was already flying in the sky. The Manhattan project in the United States was also successfully completed, and the fat man and the little boy were lost to the Japanese soil that year.
So this year is very symbolic for the people of the earth. And what about the human civilization of this world?
Kane didn't see the nuclear technology, at least not in the city he visited, but the steam engine played a bit of magic, but there was physical proof.
The Portal, Kane found a very representative facility in the city, very steampunk, not only in its thick and durable shape in the wool style, but also in its function, which can create an energy hood-like thermal curtain barrier, which bathes the inner area in the heat radiation like the summer sun.
Kane could tell it was a trial work. He confirmed this more and more after reading some information and documents at the municipal council.
What happened here began with an anomaly of weather more than three years ago.
It was an exceptionally cold year, global in scope, and many people were killed and injured by the sudden human being. This extreme climate anomaly has naturally aroused people's attention.
Some scientists roared that another ice age was coming, and some scientists said that there was something wrong with the sun, with frequent sunspot activity and unstable light and heat radiation. There are also scientists who say that the planet is deviating from the established orbit, getting farther and farther away from the sun, and the series has just been broken, so it will get colder and colder.
After the cold wave passed, everything seemed to be back to normal, and the people didn't take it too seriously, but some people did.
This is the world of sinful souls where human lives can be transformed into transcendent resources, and the major events that occur in this world are often related to the transcendent realm in one way or another.
As the ruler of the top of the mortal world, he has a considerable understanding of the transcendent realm, which is very similar to the dark HP world.
Kane also felt that this was reasonable and fine, after all, the mastery of resources of mortal rulers meant that he was relatively deaf and clear-sighted, and capable of understanding some phenomena that science could not explain.
There is no information about what the rulers of this world have discovered. The information that Kane summarized from the documents he could find was that the rulers began a series of secret deployments, characterized by the kind depicted in the Origin World disaster movie {2012}, conquering certain technologies at any cost, and aggressively hoarding and deploying supplies.
It was at that time that the energy tower was developed, and in order to speed up the research, various schemes were built at the same time.
In this era, there are no super-calculations and simulations, all of them are real practices, and this is how the energy tower in this city came about. And what it ultimately does is prove that an attempt doesn't work.
Other strange projects of the same level, there are land steam cruisers, steam-powered robots, super ecological parks, and so on.
The fact that humans can play so happily has an important relationship with the background of this civilization similar to that of the Victorian era.
More than 90% of the resources are in the hands of 10% of the people (the events of 1853 have already been explained, the gap between rich and poor is huge, sweatshop overwork and death are everywhere, the treatment of the people at the bottom has not been improved, and the workers are about equal to alternative slaves) and then almost make themselves clear.
This year, as soon as the cold wave came, the chosen ones, led by the nobles, began to flee north.
It was only after a week that the authorities gave a wide notice to people to find a way to evacuate.
Find a way, it's really lightweight......
