Chapter 1028: The Secret of the Ship
Because of the sacrificial ceremony, the number of Poseidon priests entering Castle Black has also increased, and the guards and servants of Castle Black have become accustomed to this, after all, they come once a year, and because a special passage to the lighthouse and altar has been opened, these people have hardly entered the main castle of Castle Black, and the impact on the lives of Leo and Sylvia is very small.
However, Leo was also very interested in this sacrificial ritual of the Poseidon Church, and he would spend a little time running to the altar every day to see some of the items that the priests needed to arrange the ceremony, most of these items were decorative items, but some of them were strange objects made of high-energy materials.
The raw materials used to make these strange creatures are uniform, they are bones from certain sea creatures, and most of these bones have some innate patterns on them, which are very similar to the symbolic imprints of the gods of the Poseidon Church, but they are simpler and more primitive.
For Leo, these strange patterns are like the original cardinality of a mathematical problem, providing him with a valuable reference material and comparison data, and by analyzing and comparing the internal changes of these strange patterns and the religious symbol imprints of the Poseidon Church, he has deciphered one of the most mysterious knowledge of the Poseidon Church in just a few days.
The main supernatural power held by the various churches in the world of Velen is almost all from the gift of the gods, and they do not need to learn any advanced knowledge in order to master this power, they only need to give up their pious faith, but some ancient churches will also develop another supernatural power that is closely related to the belief in the gods after a long time of exposure to the supernatural power, but does not need the gifts of the gods, such as the empty sound technique of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, the stone language of the King of the Hill, and so on.
In addition to the fact that these powers are very compatible with the divine powers of their respective gods, the method of mastering these powers is more like the method of a sorcerer mastering witchcraft, and it is necessary to learn and practice the composition of this mysterious knowledge, and the more you learn and practice, the more skilled you are, the more powerful this power will become.
The Sea Pattern is such a kind of occultism that belongs to the Poseidon Church, and usually only high-ranking priests of the Poseidon Church who have advanced to a certain level of divine quality and have obtained at least three kinds of Poseidon Divine Gifts are eligible to learn this knowledge.
Although this religious occult knowledge has always been rumored to be one of the most difficult occult knowledge in the world to master, in Leo's opinion, this so-called most difficult theory should be attributed more to the power of the Church than to the knowledge itself.
At least, in his opinion, it shouldn't be difficult for any tower wizard to crack the ecclesiastical occultism of the Sea Pattern, the only problem is that in the case of using non-sea god powers, the Sea Pattern cannot exert its true effect at all, and may even have no effect, which should be one of the reasons why the outside world says it is the most difficult to master.
Leo was suddenly interested in the Sea Pattern because he felt that the envoy of the Inge Kingdom could drive the ship safely through the Gray Mist Sea, and the power used in it should be related to the Sea God, and he could not contact and use the Sea God's divine power and divine magic, so naturally he could not find the secret of passing through the Gray Mist Sea from this aspect, so the Sea Pattern became the direction of his breakthrough.
After cracking the Sea Pattern in a short period of time, Leo found an opportunity to infiltrate the ship of the Inge Kingdom Mission, and learned about the inside and outside of the ship through a double search of the spirit net and naked eye observation.
Although, as he expected, a large number of sea patterns were found on the ship, and it could be deduced that the purpose of these sea patterns was to control ocean currents, control sea creatures, etc., but nothing that could be related to the gray fog was found in these sea patterns.
And there is also a very strange thing, that is, there is no large enough storage room for storing charcoal on this steamship, and according to the size of the storage room of the steamship, the total amount of charcoal in this storage room is only enough for the ship to sail a few hundred nautical miles at sea, and it is impossible for a ship to sail from the Kingdom of England to Landall.
This also made Leo interested in the steam engine of the steamer, because if it was really possible to sail the ship to Landauer with only such a small amount of fuel, unless there was some leap in the power and fire power of the ship's steam engine.
However, he was a little disappointed by the results of the inspection, because the ship's steam engine was just an ordinary steam engine, and there were no commendable improvements, and judging from the uncleaned waste residue in the steam engine boiler, the fuel put into the boiler could only turn the boiler into steam, and the total amount of steam was not enough to propel the other components of the steam engine.
All kinds of unreasonable designs made the ship that could pass through the gray fog sea reveal a little strange, and also made Leo more curious, and once again scanned the entire ship with a spirit net scan, and the result was that after scanning it again, he really found some interesting places.
Leo discovers that on the all-metal ship, there are two all-wooden rooms, one at the bottom of the ship and the other vertically upward, at the top of the ship, next to the captain's cockpit.
The reason why Leo didn't find this strange place before was mainly because in his subconscious, he always regarded this metal ship as an ordinary ship in the world of Velon, and the ordinary ships in this world are all wooden, so naturally he didn't care about the wooden cabin, and it wasn't until the second scan that he discovered the anomaly because of his concentration.
If it was just a wooden cabin, Leo wouldn't have taken it to heart, because no one was sure that the ship's designer had any quirks about designing two wooden cabins on an all-metal ship.
What really cared for Leo was that his psychic web probe found that the two wooden chambers were actually alive, which meant that these two chambers were not so much made of wood as two creatures that were very similar in appearance to the chambers.
Although the out-of-cabin creatures sound strange, compared to the strange-shaped aliens that Leo encountered in the universe, the cabin-shaped creatures have become a lot more normal.
After discovering the strangeness of these two cabins, Leo immediately carefully inspected the inside and outside of the cabin, and found that except for a few sea patterns on the ship, which were separately existed, the other sea patterns were connected together in a dark line, and converged into the two wooden living cabins, and finally concentrated in a small depression in the middle of the room.
Leo's spiritual network also found some liquid in those two small pits, and it is estimated that these two small pits should have been filled with this mysterious liquid before.
Leo felt that this mysterious liquid might be the key to the ship's safe passage through the Grey Mist, so he tried to infiltrate one of the wooden living chambers, taking some of the liquid from the pit and digging up a little of the living body from the chamber wall.
"Did you find anything?" asked Sylvia curiously, back at the castle.
"There are some discoveries. Leo took out the liquid and the living body he had taken from the ship, and told Sylvia what he had discovered.
"Do you need anything for me?" Sylvia asked, knowing that Leo would definitely be looking into these two things.
"No!" Leo shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll be studying these two things in the lab for the next two days, and if I haven't come out on the day of the ceremony, you can come and call me." ”
With that, without waiting for Sylvia to answer, he took his things to his laboratory room in the main castle and began to study the two objects.
The first thing Leo took out to study was the living fragments of the ship, and the reason why he studied the living fragments first was not that the liquids were unimportant, it was obvious that those liquids should be the key, but compared to studying the biological form of living bodies and other issues, it was more difficult to analyze the composition of the liquid.
If it is in the universe, there is a special biological microscopic detection instrument, and only the biological tissue needs to be put into the instrument, which can analyze the cell structure, genetic characteristics and so on of the organism, and even reverse what the biological tissue looks like.
But now, Leo can only use the two abilities of spiritual vision and spirit network to find out the physical characteristics and genetic structure of biological cells through the most microscopic scanning and observation over and over again, and at the same time compare the data of known organisms in his brain, so as to find similar biological information, so as to analyze and speculate on the ability of the living body in that chamber.
There are no skills and methods to speak of this kind of analysis and comparison, some are just mechanical analysis, and it only takes time, which is not difficult for Leo, he only spent half a day to construct the original data of the analysis and comparison of the cell structure and genetic characteristics of the organism in his brain, and then spent nearly two days comparing the data in the biological database in his brain.
Leo's biological database stored in the brain comes from the fourth-level biological public database of the Supreme Council of the Universe, which records the biological characteristics of 40 billion major creatures in the universe.
In the early days, the cyborg warriors of the Earth Federation also needed to take on the task of star pioneering, so almost every cyborg warrior would be forcibly stuffed with a large amount of biological data before leaving the factory, although the entire fourth-level biological database could not be completely included in the second brain, but it could include the iconic biometrics of all biological types, and the number of them was more than 10 million.
Although Leo's second brain feels like it's gone, in fact, Leo can say that the second brain is completely integrated with his main brain, so the database in the second brain is naturally integrated into the main brain's database, except for one that needs to be subjectively driven and analyzed, and the other can be passively instructed to analyze, there is not much difference in terms of use and when you have a second brain.
After two days of comparison, Leo completed the comparison and analysis of more than 10 million biological characteristics, and also found the cosmic creatures that best matched the characteristics of various living creatures in this chamber, or more accurately, subspace creatures.
For a long time, the Supreme Council of the Universe has been exploring subspace, but even after countless years, their understanding and mastery of subspace is far from enough, so the rewards on various things in subspace have not been revoked, and the most rewarding ones are subspace creatures.
In the database of the fourth level of organisms in the universe, the data about subspace creatures is always listed as a separate item, and no matter how different those subspace creatures are in appearance and interior, they are all classified into one category, and then they are not further divided.
The reason for this is that the same subspace creatures that are almost identical in appearance have completely different internal structures, as if they were two unrelated creatures.
This is true not only for different organisms, but even for the same organism after vivisection, it is allowed to recover naturally, and then a second dissection is performed, and the biometric data obtained is completely different, which makes each organism in the subspace unique.
Despite this, there are still several fixed biological characteristics of subspace creatures, and by comparing these fixed biological characteristics, the comparator can easily find out the subspace creatures.
At present, several characteristics of the living fragment of the chamber analyzed by Leo are consistent with the characteristics of subspace creatures, but it is completely different from this subspace creature in some places, and many synthetic shadows can be found in it.
"The Kingdom of England has mastered the technology of synthetic biology from the remains of those spaceships?" When Leo discovered this, an idea came to his mind, but he quickly denied himself, because he found that there were almost no scientific and technical details in this synthetic biotechnology, but it was mixed with some kind of primitive supernatural power, more like the methods used by the natural shamans of the Moissanite continent.
If you think about it carefully, the Kingdom of England can be said to be the country that attaches great importance to the wasteland shaman in the world of Velun, and even if it is a native country of the Moisan continent, such as the United States, it has a contemptuous attitude towards tribal shamans, not to mention the establishment of discipline projects to study shamans, even among the people, most of the tribal shamans adopt a semi-ban attitude, which is mainly because the bewitching power of the tribal shamans is too strong, and the countries of the Moisan continent have suffered losses in this regard when they were established, so they are jealous and fearful of tribal shamans, greater than appreciation, and seeking knowledge.
On the contrary, although the Kingdom of England had conflicts with the tribes of the wasteland during the colonial period and suffered a big loss, they were very interested in the culture and power of the tribal shamans in the conflict, so the Kingdom of England established the only discipline specializing in the study of shamanic culture in the entire Velen world in the national university, and even opened the domestic restrictions on shamanic culture and allowed the shamans of the wasteland to enter the Kingdom of England to preach, so the Kingdom of England itself also produced some tribal shamans belonging to the Inga people, and it is not an incredible thing to master some of the extraordinary powers of the shaman。
