Chapter 720: The Coffin
I saw that the thing displayed on the stage was a metal block close to a square, about three meters long and about one meter wide, judging from the fact that it took six blood clans to lift it just now, this metal block should be very heavy, the appearance of the metal block is very smooth, without any decorative features, the only thing worth noting is a row of eye-catching symbols at the top of the metal block, this row of symbols seems to be just some distorted strokes, but if you look closely, you can also feel that there seems to be some mysterious meaning in it
When she saw this piece of metal that didn't have many obvious features on the outside, Sylvia immediately thought of a word relic of a prehistoric civilization, it was obvious that the Bloodline would never be stupid enough to auction off an ordinary piece of metal as a special item, and the most precious metal in the world was none other than those mysterious metals of prehistoric civilization.
It's just that the doubts in Sylvia's heart have not decreased a lot, because Leo's reaction when he saw that metal block was too great, it stands to reason that Leo can be regarded as the person who has the most contact with prehistoric civilizations in the Veron world, and may even be the person who knows prehistoric civilizations in the world, he should have been surprised by these things a long time ago, and he should not have reacted like this.
The doubts in his heart made Sylvia want to ask Leoleo why, but in the end he swallowed his curiosity and did not ask.
And Leo was completely immersed in the shock in his heart at the moment, he never thought that he would see this thing, and even had the feeling that he was being manipulated by some invisible force.
This thing is both familiar and strange to Leo, because it belongs to him, to the cyborg from the past, and it was obtained after death, this thing is the coffin, a coffin that belongs to him.
The cyborg is a mass-produced biological weapon of the Earth Federation, although the cyborg has a similar physiological structure as a human, but it is not a human, so for the death of a cyborg, ordinary people can dispose of it in the same way as a damaged tool, and throw it into a specific recycling bin.
However, with the efforts of some cyborgs on various colonized planets, cyborgs have also begun to gain a little power, among which the earliest cyborgs to obtain rights are cyborgs warriors who fight for the Federation, and they have the right to have a cabin for rest, a healing instrument for treatment, and the right to get a coffin after death.
All cyborg warriors who have performed their feats for the Federation will receive a coffin made of common alloy upon death, which will be engraved with the production location and code name of the cyborg warrior, and the coffins of these warriors will be temporarily stored in the trailer of one of the civilian tugboats, and when a certain number of them are concentrated, they will be incinerated at the nearest star.
However, many times such corpse containers are not sent to the stars for incineration, because some armies have found that when attacking the enemy's ground, these corpse containers can be pushed into near-surface orbit, and then the landing trajectory is calculated, and these corpse containers are used as railguns for ground attack.
Because of the cosmic treaty, space warships cannot attack the ground with weapons that exceed the regulations, so the attack on the ground has always been a problem for all fleets in the universe, but now the corpse container perfectly circumvents all the rules and regulations of all enemy weapons in the universe, and the power is also very amazing, so this cyborg corpse railgun has become an important weapon used by most Federation fleets to attack the ground.
Although the various fleets of the Earth Federation have done very much, it is already good for cyborg warriors to be able to have a coffin after death and still be able to fight as a weapon, instead of throwing it into a recycling tank like garbage for recycling.
For example, a cyborg like Leo, who has gained some wisdom, will learn from humans, and arrange things after death before death, such as preparing a coffin for himself, which is why Leo can recognize this coffin at a glance, because this coffin was made by him, including the identity number on the coffin is also engraved by him.
Now, having become a real human being, the shock in his heart is naturally self-evident when he sees his coffin appear at this auction, not to mention that there is likely to be the body of his cyborg in this coffin.
"I'm going to take it!" Leo quickly had the idea that even if he couldn't get the coffin at auction, he would have to get it from the person who bought it.
While Leo was pondering, the Baroness of the Bloods on the stage began to explain the origin of the coffin.
Although this blood lady can't tell the origin of the auction items in a frustrating voice like the auctioneer before, like telling a story, so that people can listen to it very attentively, but the dry information content that the meaningless baronese said is really useful information, and anyone who is really interested in this coffin will listen carefully.
The coffin was not found in the kingdom of Mares, but came from the Belém Glacier Lake, north of Dalyat, near the ice sheet.
The snow kingdom of Gliat is a beautiful place to be, with countless world-famous landscapes, but Belém Glacier Lagoon consistently occupies a place in the top five of the list of places in the list of places in the list of places in the Gliat by some well-meaning travelers.
Belém Glacier Lake is also known as the Heavenly Lake, because this lake is on the top of the Belém Crater, 6,000 terkat from the ground, equivalent to more than 4,000 meters, which can almost be said to be in the sky.
Just as the Guga Desert is a holy place for the excavation of the relics of prehistoric civilization, the Belen Glacier Lake is also the holy body of the excavation of the relics of prehistoric civilization, and compared with the prehistoric relics of the Guga Desert that have been seriously eroded by wind and sand, the relics of the prehistoric civilization of the Belém Glacier Lake are very well preserved because of the protection of the ice and snow of the climate relics, and the only drawback is that the difficulty of excavation is many times more difficult than that of the Guga Desert.
Relics of prehistoric civilizations in the Belém Glacier Lagoon have been studied and concluded that it was once a battlefield for prehistoric civilizations, because there are many suspected weapons in the relics, and the Belém crater and Belém Glacier Lagoon are also likely to be caused by war.
When this conclusion was made, it immediately attracted the attention of all countries, because everyone seemed to know what a weapon that destroyed the earth into such a shape was.
It's just that, for a long time, the Belém glacial lake has become the focus of the study of prehistoric civilizations in various countries.
At that time, the national power of Deliyat was not very strong, and in the face of pressure from other countries, they could only bow their heads and obey, and regarded Belém Glacier Lake as a world public research area.
However, with the accession of the Ice Queen, this situation changed completely, except for the researchers of Dyriat himself, all the researchers from other countries were expelled, and all the research results and excavated items were confiscated, leaving no room at all.
Although governments are very angry at the Snow Queen's actions, they have nothing to do with her.
As the first power on the road, the French Empire can indeed send troops to the Minsk mainland, but how many troops to send and spend military expenses are problems, and on the Minsk side, only the Kingdom of Mares and the Kingdom of Savile can compete with their northern neighbors, but now the national strength of both countries is in a period of decline, and the Northern Kingdom has been thriving because of some reform measures after the queen ascended the throne, and the two countries have long been left far behind, so that the two countries are more worried about the invasion of the Northern Kingdom, rather than considering the war with the North for some civilization research。
Therefore, the final result of this matter is not over, and the only thing that is damaged is the institutions that study prehistoric civilizations in various countries, and without the study of the Belém glacial lake, the research of the entire prehistoric civilization has fallen into a state of stagnation.
When the Baroness of the Bloodlines announced that the item came from the Belém Glacier Lake, almost everyone present became interested in the item.
Because of the Ice Queen's blockade of the Belém Glacier Lake, the number of prehistoric civilization relics related to the Belém Glacier Lake has remained constant, coupled with the damage caused by personal collections and national research, the overall number is in a state of decline, so the value of the Belém Glacier Lake relics is also increasing, and even exceeds the price of prehistoric civilization relics produced in other regions.
But even so, the relics produced by the Belen Ice Lake are in short supply, and they will be bought quickly every time they appear, and the blood clan regards this item as the first special item, naturally wanting to make this item a little deserted The auction hall becomes more lively.
"How do you prove that this is the product of the Belen Glacier Lake?" At this time, the buyer in the opposite box questioned the seemingly simple metal block, "You must know that in the past, many people used the relics of prehistoric civilization in other places to produce the relics produced by the caterpillar Belen Glacier Lake, how do you prove the origin of this relic? Natasha, don't tell me, it is proved by the reputation of your bloodline." ”
Although the person who raised the question seemed to be going for the relics of the Belen Ice Lake, the stab in his words was the Blood Baroness and the Blood Clan itself who were directly facing the stage, and it was obvious that the relationship between the person who spoke and the Blood Clan was not very good.
The blood lady sneered and glanced at the box, as if she knew who was the person who opened her mouth to raise questions, she did not argue with it, but picked up a document and put it on the metal block, and said calmly: "This is a certificate signed by eight experts in the study of prehistoric civilizations, and there are also official export documents of Dailiat, which can completely prove that this item was excavated from the Belen Glacier Lake in Dailyat." ”
"What can this prove," the man in the box was obviously not going to let the Blood Baroness go like this, he spoke again, and said, "These documents can be obtained as long as you have a little ability, you ......"
"Shut up!" Before the man could finish his words, a cult leader in the third floor box said, "Mouse, if you don't want to buy it, shut up and don't affect the others." Then he saw him and said to the Baroness of the Blood Clan, "Can you bid now?"
"Absolutely. The Blood Baroness nodded.
The cult leader immediately quoted a price three times the reserve price, and when the cult leader took the lead, the others followed suit and quoted high prices one after another, while the person who had made trouble before died down and did not say anything more.
As the price continued to get too high, the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, and Leo's brow furrowed, because the price quoted now had already exceeded the funds he had left on hand.
"If you don't have enough money, I can ......" Sylvia again offered to fund Leo's money.
Leo thought for a moment, and when he heard the rising offer outside, he shook his head, rejected Sylvia's kindness, and said, "It's useless, even if you and I have the funds together, according to the current growth rate of the offer, it will not be enough," he said, he paused, and whispered to Sylvia: "Later, you can help investigate who the final buyer is." ”
Seeing Leo so clearly showing his intention to make a business without capital, Sylvia was not disgusted, but looked extremely excited, showing a look of eagerness to try, and said: "It's no problem for me to check the buyer, but I want to participate." ”
Leo was silent for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Sylvia's request.
The bidding outside gradually entered the white heat, and the bidding took out not only money but also items, these items included gems, rare ores, and more special materials used in certain ceremonies.
The reason why they are willing to take out such a high-value item in exchange for this relic of the prehistoric civilization produced in the Belém Glacier Lake is mainly to buy an opportunity, because there have always been rumors about why the national strength of the Deliat has suddenly increased so much, after repeated analysis, coupled with a series of operations after the Ice Queen ascended the throne, many people believe that the relics of the prehistoric civilization in the Belém Glacier Lake have played a role, that is to say, the Ice Queen may have been able to master a relic of prehistoric civilization.
A relic of a prehistoric civilization that can change the overall strength of a country is definitely an artifact in any case, and although no one knows what this metal block is now, maybe it's just a pile of metal scrap, but if it's an artifact-like item, then it's worth paying the price.
Just as the leaders of both sides thought they would be the one to win before the two countries went to war, now these buyers probably think that they will be different, lucky enough to finally solve the mystery of this piece of metal and become its master.
It's just that if these people knew that what they bought back was just a metal coffin, they don't know what kind of feeling they would have in their hearts.
After a fierce battle, the Baroness of the Blood ringed the bell on the table and finally sold the piece of metal for a very high price, and the buyer was a big man in a box on the third floor.
