Chapter XVIII: Treasures of Civilization

Brian stood on the deck, browsed the sea scenery for a moment, and then arranged for the others to go to the Fracture Plane, taking turns to be on duty, and the three of them were on the airship every day, with the goblins, so that they would not be too lonely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Brian called the observer, pointed to the chart, and said, "Our first stop is to the island sixty kilometers to the east, although this island is not big, but I hope to use it as a transit station in the future, so I want to go up and observe." ”

"No problem. "With the current wind, we can reach it in about a day." ”

Brian, Lillian, and Estridus stay, and their souls enter the underworld, with Lillian in charge of protecting their bodies.

A circle of stone walls in the circular hall in the underground palace has been cleared, and Seniors has matched the thirty-two orbs with the stone carvings one by one, and when Brian and the two arrived, he immediately brought them into the hall to introduce the newly discovered situation.

"This string of beads, originally used for recording, is inserted into the grooves in the wall, and it emits light and shadow, allowing us to see some of Luo Ning's techniques at that time. "But with the unparalleled intelligence of the hedgehog, he still can't understand the specific content of these techniques, so he has to ask Miss Estrides to come and have a look." ”

"I'll look at the stone carvings first. Estrid was very interested, she finally understood that the reason why the technology of the Luo Ning clan was extremely developed seven million years ago was because Luo Ning preserved an even more ancient civilization and handed it over to the people, and some advanced technologies were inherited, so that there was a later era of god creation.

Brian also looked up, the stone carvings on the wall had become blurry due to age, and a picture in front of him roughly showed a Lorning man holding a stone in his hand, and the other limbs emitted flames, thunder, and whirlwinds.

"What does this mean, does it represent a magician?" Brian mused, "Could it be that magic is also some kind of technological achievement, and is not activated by divine power?"

Estrid roughly turned around and said: "These thirty-two diagrams are thirty-two independent technologies, they may be related to each other, but there is no order, let's just open a video to watch, and see what the Luo Ning people have researched back then." ”

"Okay, I'll go and put the orb in the groove. Senior, and climbed to the top of the stone wall.

The beads swirled in the grooves, and one straight ray after another hit the stone platform in the middle, and it took about thirty seconds for them to finally converge into an image. The first thing that comes to people's eyes is a row of words.

Estrid, who was the only one who knew the Ronin language, reads, "All technology, in the final analysis, is the manipulation and use of energy. We hope that we can solidify the energy, specifically, the lattice energy, so that a large amount of energy is condensed in the crystal, easy to carry, and when needed, it can be released in the form we need. ”

Brian and Seniore looked dumbfoundedly at the image of a huge machine at work, its ends constantly producing colored crystals, and they both asked at the same time, "What do you mean?"

"This technology is great!" exclaimed Estrid, "that is, the heat energy produced by the flames, the light energy produced by the sun, all the insubstantial energy, or the fluctuating energy, through the absorption and compression of this machine, can be condensed into energy crystals, which can be stored and carried, and released in the desired form when used." This is called the crystallization of energy. ”

"To be honest, I still don't understand. "Brian doesn't have any technical common sense after all.

"Yes, Miss Estrid, you think it's a great technique, I don't think it's a big deal, it doesn't sound like it's useful. "For example, if my boss masters this technology, will he be able to become stronger?"

"Absolutely. Let's take the airship as an example, now the airship wants to explore the ocean, even if it is very large, it can fly up to 300 kilometers, so it will not dare to go forward, why, because there is not enough fuel, it will not be able to fly back further. We purified the fuel, but we still had to fill ten barrels of fuel, which took up a lot of space and added a lot of load, in order to burn and propel the airship forward. If we have the technology to crystallize energy, the heat of ten barrels of oil is converted into a palm-sized crystal, and with it we can propel the airship to fly hundreds of kilometers, and we can travel as far as we want, isn't it scary?" explained Estrid.

"Is that what you mean by putting ten barrels of oil into a crystal?" Brian finally understood, "so that the airship doesn't have to be that big." ”

"Yes, this technology can change all traditional energy needs, especially now that the continent has stepped into the edge of the industrial age, and it is of great significance to us. Estride said.

"But we can't build a machine in the video. Brian said.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I stay here and have a deep understanding of all the technologies, and after knowing how they work, I might be able to come up with alternative ways to achieve the goal, at least I will get some hints. "But civilization is not something that can be built in a day or two, and it takes time to change and develop." ”

"Estrid, I'm more interested in the magician's stone carving. Brian pointed to the pattern he had just seen.

"Magician, I really haven't noticed, is magic also a technology?" Estrid was immediately intrigued.

"Then let's change a bead. "Senior.

"Pig-headed king, you must keep all the beads and stone carvings, everything here is a treasure of civilization, the crystallization of wisdom, and the experience that intelligent life has spent thousands of years to explore. Estride reminded.

"I can't see it for anyone but you. ”

"Even so, if the enemy destroys them, we lose our precious treasure. "I estimate that it will take me a few months to understand all the things on the wall, and I must do a good job of protecting them during this period, so that I can sort out all the techniques and record them in detail." ”

"Don't worry, whoever dares to do something in Uncle Pig's territory, I will definitely tear down his bones, and then give it to you to boil soup to drink. Seniore swears.

"Who wants to drink such a stinky bone broth. Estrid smiled.
