Chapter 38: The Dawn of a New Era

"What!" Alan couldn't help but cry out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What's the matter, Alan, you've seen elemental crystals before?" Matthew asked Alan, a little curious.

"Ah, no, I want this elemental spar to exist, can't I cultivate magic?"

All along, Alan thought that there was no such thing as this continent, so after the disappearance of the magic element of heaven and earth, no one could successfully cultivate magic.

"Haha," Matthew smiled, "I'm not researching, but there have been people who have asked the same questions as you. Later, after a series of tests, it was found that people could indeed absorb the energy of the elemental hedron into their bodies, but even so, they were unable to use magic. ”

Alan was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he was quickly relieved. If you think about it carefully, the Holy See must have never given up on this research, and there has been no great achievement for so many years, can you still find a way to do it all at once?

"By the way, Mr. Matthew, where can I find this elemental crystal?" Although it can't be used to cultivate magic, Alan is still quite interested in this kind of stone that contains energy in itself.

"This ......," Matthew paused, "the piece in my hand was found from the ruins. Some ancient texts record the existence of spar veins on the continent, but no one has found them until now, so I suspect that these veins may have disappeared with the disappearance of the magic element. ”

Matthew's voice also carried unspeakable regret, and Alan also sighed in his heart, I really don't know how tragic the war in the sky was, which made this continent degraded so badly.

"Alright, let's go ahead ...... class," Matthew clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to the excavations.

Interesting lessons are always attractive, even Yulong didn't find a chance to talk to Alan again, and when the class bell rang, everyone still had a feeling of unfinished.

Matthew was very satisfied with the performance of the others, "Okay, after class, don't forget to bring your paper and pen for the next class." Alan, you stay. ”

After everyone left, Matthew sat down next to Allen: "Allen, you just defined archaeology very well, and I am going to send it to the association for certification, is it okay? Of course, the signature must be you." ”

Alan was rarely a little embarrassed, after all, this was not his original words, "No problem, I have no opinion." ”

"Good. By the way, one more thing, I see that you are also very interested in archaeology, I am going to excavate a ruins during the holidays, and I will bring a few students with you, do you want to come?"

This made Alan very tempted, the vacation of the Holy Spirit University was not long, and the time to return to the Holy City was too tight, and he was still thinking about what to do, since he had this opportunity, it was better to go and see the archaeological site.

So Alan hurriedly agreed, "That's great, I've always been interested in it." By the way, Mr. Matthew, can you take me to see the heating equipment, I've always been curious. ”

"No problem, this kind of intellectual curiosity is what archaeology needs most! At that time, we brought back a total of three sets that could still be used, one for the male and female dormitories, and one for research, which were stored near here, come with me. ”

Matthew took Alan to a warehouse next to the classroom, which was piled up with all kinds of miscellaneous items, making Alan a little hard to imagine that such a valuable machine was placed in such a place.

Looking at Allen's somewhat dissatisfied expression, Matthew couldn't help but explain: "I can't judge the value of many things that have been discovered by archaeology for many years, so I have to bring them back and study them slowly." Here it is, this is it. ”

Alan looked at the cube about one meter in length, width and height that Matthew pointed to, and couldn't believe it.

"It's hard to believe it, it's just the core parts of the machine, the surrounding ones are damaged, and the two in the dormitory are still repaired by the school. ”

"I've read the news about the excavation of the Imperial Wind Ruins, doesn't it mean that all machines can't be repaired with their current strength?" Alan was a little curious, how powerful the Holy Spirit University was to be able to repair what the entire continent had determined to be unrepairable.

"Well, it's a restoration, but it's actually just for the sake of sounding, but we haven't figured out the original purpose of this machine yet, and I think the original function of this machine is definitely not as simple as heating. Matthew looked a little embarrassed when he said this, and it seemed that as a "scholar", he was still quite thin-skinned.

Matthew walked to the machine, lifted the upper cover, and motioned to Allen, "Originally, I thought this machine was a complete whole, but I accidentally found that this machine has a cover plate on top that can be opened. ”

Alan looked at the machine, only to see that after the cover was lifted, a platform appeared in front of Alan's eyes.

There is a circular groove in the middle of the platform, surrounded by various lines, like a complex circuit diagram, but not as neat as the circuit diagram, it looks a little disorganized, but with a peculiar sense of rhythm.

"Out of curiosity, I put the elemental hedron I found earlier. ”

Matthew motioned for Alan to step back, then placed the elemental hedron in his pocket into the groove, and then some of the lines on the platform glowed as if they had been activated.

Moments later, Alan saw that the right side of the machine was frantically inhaling air, while the left side was frantically spewing out hot gas, which soon formed a white mist.

Matthew cautiously stepped forward to take out the elemental hedron, and the machine stopped working.

"The other two machines were not much different from this one, and later we installed pipes on the machines and used them as heating units in the new dormitory building. ”

The scene in front of him deeply shocked Allen, and he simply didn't know what to say. What is this? The dawn of industry in ancient times, the steam revolution of the past? Whatever it is, Allen only knows that this machine represents a new kind of power, a power that can turn everything upside down!

Alan was excited for a while, and then came to his senses, and now there are still several problems to be solved:

"Mr. Matthew, how long can one of these elemental crystals run this machine?"

"We're still testing, we've started the machine since the beginning of the winter and haven't replaced the elemental spars so far. ”

Alan knew that the Divine Dragon Empire had entered the winter season since October last year, and it was already February this year when school started, and this machine had been running for 4 months relying on an elemental spar!

However, without the discovery of a spar vein, unless the machine can rely on an elemental spar to run forever, it will one day face an energy crisis. Or, put the machine to good use.

"Mr. Matthew, have you done anything about this machine?"

"So far, we don't know how this machine works, you see, there's a little bit of groove here. Matthew pointed out the seven or eight small grooves in the corners of the machine platform to Allen, "Since there is no way to cut the elemental hedrons, we have no way of knowing what will happen when we fill in all the grooves. Later, I also thought about disassembling the machine to see the internal structure, but the machine was so integrated that it was impossible to start. ”

Alan frowned, almost all the methods he thought of had been tried by Matthew, and he was thinking about whether to report to the Holy See for technical support, but firstly, Alan wanted to avoid the Holy See's sight as much as possible in his recent work, and secondly, Delia was the principal of the Holy Spirit University, so it was difficult to say that the Holy See really didn't know anything about machines.

Alan looked at the "dawn of a new era" in front of him and was a little helpless, and fell into a stalemate for a while.
