Upper level of the burrow.

"What? You don't feel it at all!? ”

Yaoyuanshou's tombstone trembled slightly: "Can't your consciousness be directly connected to the outside world?" ”

“…… If you mean self-awareness, it's definitely in your own body. Isn't it dead to be on the outside and not on the inside? ”

"Not really. Aren't you observing the world through your consciousness and exchanging information with the outside world? ”

"It's with the eyes and the body. Although I am not flesh and blood, I can still perceive the outside world through the special power of my body, but my perception here is much weaker, and it will be blurry in the distance. ”

Both sides realize that they understand the cognitive world in completely different ways.

Yaoyuan was suddenly excited: "No wonder you can survive in that kind of world where consciousness resonates madly, you are naturally sluggish...... No, it's inherently more resistant to interference! What a strong survivability! When I operate on the ground, I can only do it by overloading myself and consuming a lot of energy storage. ”

The last two sentences are more like making up.

Luca said: "That passage in the basement...... Are there any other rooms down there? ”

"It's a mine, leading to the deep area where Kurogaki is. The metal layer of those silver alloys becomes more and more complex the further underground it goes, the closer it is to the ground, and the higher the purity. ”

"The black walls here are also mined from the mines."

"Kuragaki will always sink into the ground, and when it comes into contact with those silver alloys, it will penetrate and settle down in vibration. Strange to say, this is not a matter of weight at all, but more like a rejection reaction of a silver alloy to an external substance. ”

"If you want to find Kuragaki, you have to go down, and the deeper you go, the more you go."

After the stage of confirming the fossil of the electric vibrator stopped, the two returned to the underground and dived into the mine.

Luca observed that the silver alloy in the ground was mixed with black particles, like impurities in silver ingots.

By the time we reached the deepest part of the mine, the silver alloy walls had turned white and black, some of which looked like over-marinated pork belly, with many of the fat being silver alloy and lean meat being black walls.

Lukka used his claws to chisel the black wall like fine sand.

This substance is amazing, the more you have it, the more sticky it is.

After more than that, they are like they have a magnetic attraction to each other, and there is a sense of stickiness when you put your hand into it.

"Amazing, isn't it?"

"Is there such a substance in your world?"

Lukka thought for a moment, "The polysoil is somewhat similar to this one, but it has water and is a living organism itself. If you talk about the burned forbidden lime embers, but it is also white or off-white, it is not so sticky. ”

Yaoyuan was not surprised: "So, this is a unique place. If Kuragaki can sell it, he will definitely make a lot of money, but it's a pity. ”

"Are you a merchant?"

"I'm a traveler, but travel costs money, and the rarer the thing, the more profitable. Sometimes I also pick up some souvenirs and take them back to either collect or sell. ”

"If you don't think about money, you can't survive." ”

Luca agreed.

"What kind of world is Yaoyuan?"

"It's kind of a mesh world."

"Mesh?"

"Well, it's the kind of web that is criss-crossed, you have it over there, it's a very simple stable structure, with enough elasticity and ductility. Our Yaoyuan is a network structure that spans a vast space, and there are different paths in the network......"

"If you look at it from a distance, it looks like a loose fur ball, and every intersection in it is a settlement."

Yaoyuan Shou said: "There are many circles over there, and different circles circulate different consciousness information, and there are strict information channel specifications and management. Even if the consciousness is constantly transmitted, it can be connected through different channels, and there will be no invalid information, and there will be no interference or even contamination of consciousness. ”

It pointed its claws at the wall: "It's like a structure here, a layer of silver alloy and a layer of black walls. Whatever layer you are on, you receive and send on that floor. ”

Luca thought, "It's like different floors of a house. ”

"yes, that's what it means."

A confirmation voice came from the tombstone: "Vibration is the essence of movement—at least that's what Yoshigaki recognizes, so we send all kinds of signals through various vibrations. ”

"But here, the frequency bands are not regulated, and it is in a state of chaos. In your world, it's even more terrifying, it's like all the channels are talking like crazy, it's scary. ”

"Do you all look like a tombstone like this?"

"It's not a tombstone, it's our body." The stele of Yaoyuan's head was propped up, and below it was a roll of very thick metal columns: "There is an extension below, which can be stretched far, but it is not used here, and it is dangerous." ”

"Under normal circumstances, our carriers of consciousness are irreplaceable and can only be tinkered with. The inner group can change shells, but unfortunately I'm only an outer member. ”

"So we have to make sure that we are healthy and not tainted by consciousness, which is what we call a disease."

Luca already understood: "Just like us, there was a time when the ancestors of the White Bone also suffered from hypochondriasis, and later it turned out that it was a problem with the water source. ”

"Almost."

"And what are the docked and docked objects?"

Luca was taken aback by his description.

Docking is similar to the combination of opposites like ordinary humans of the Yao tribe, so as to give birth to the next generation and form a family.

It's just that Yaoyuan people don't have a gender, and docking is different from a combination of the opposite sex, they are more like a close association.

The two horns on the head of the head of the yao yuan will be inserted into the opponent's face (or the two holes in the chest), and then the head of the yao yuan will belong to the docking person, and the other will belong to the docking person.

This is a difference in status.

After the docking is completed, the channel can be calibrated, and as long as you are in Yaoyuan, everyone can talk to each other directly, even if it is the end of the earth.

Pairings can be somewhere in between, or three or even more.

However, there is also a great risk that if one of them is infected with some disease, the spread of this channel will endanger the lives of others and their own protection.

Therefore, docking is also a sacred ritual, which is equivalent to confirming that the other party will be a close partner of the other party, whether healthy or sick.

Luca could not comprehend this strange social structure.

"If it's very risky, why do you want to dock?"

"You're right, so there are very few people who actually dock. Now that times have changed, docking is equivalent to indicating that you are organized, and it is more like a specific identity binding. ”

According to Yaoyuan's description, Yaoyuan is a very large world, and the web woven is spread across many spaces. Each Yaoyuan person in it initially hugged each other closely, but with the development of civilization, they no longer had to rely on each other to live, and gradually transformed into a life like scattered sand.

In terms of professions, they are also very diverse, whether they are academics, engineers, doctors, astronomers, materials scientists, electricians, signalists...... Everyone can get the initial free knowledge from Yaoyuan, which is a starting class.

But they also give feedback.

Through his own progress in the professional field, his experience and gains will also be synchronized with Yaoyuan, and he can share his own joints (i.e., corners) by inserting them into the public entrance.

As feedback and reward, Yaoyuan will also give energy components and various accessories.

"Actually, it's easy to live in Yaoyuan, but it's hard to get into the inner layer. The inner layers are the sustainers of the entire Yaoyuan, and they can customize, shape, and replace bodies, representing the highest group of power in this civilization. ”

"They can even shape their bodies into the size of a world. Although they are all Yaoyuan people, they may be more different from us than reptiles and intelligent races. ”

"Sometimes it's really helpless to think about it, the story of our life is just an inconspicuous signal in the eyes of the inner people. However, they can allow the body to be continuously maintained and transformed, and use Yaoyuan to continue themselves and coexist with Yaoyuan. ”

Lukka seemed to understand a little: "When you left Yaoyuan, it seems that you also want to do something on the outside, and then get a chance to enter the inner layer?" ”

It's like the Yao people, everyone wants to become a hero, so that they can be promoted to the apostle, and then the next step is to seek the position of extremely rare but incomparably noble god.

It's just that Yaoyuan sounds a lot more cruel.

"That's pretty much it, alas, my damn unyielding character! If I stay in the outer layers like everyone else, sleep until I wake up and look at the records and funny messages left by other worlds, nothing happens. ”

"The world is always unfair, even Yaoyuan. If I have the chance, I'm going to change all that!! ”

Yaoyuan was a little excited, and the color of the tombstone turned red.

Luca said: "It's man-made, I believe in you. ”

……

Soon after, Lukka and Shrouggaki officially met the Blood Knight outside the passage.

The god himself brought with him a large amount of baggage, including metal, wood, stone, various oils, semi-finished wires, iron and copper ingots, and various elemental crystals.

In addition to this, original but reliable trolleys were equipped to load these supplies.

The Blood Knight bowed slightly to Yaoyuan: "Good luck." ”

As always, cherish words like gold.

"Thank you very much, thank you to the Yao civilization, thank you Lord Yaoshen!"

Yao Yuan leaned forward in Luka's example, making a gesture that was close to kneeling.

It has been consulted on etiquette in this area in order to make a good impression.

The Blood Knight pointed to the coat fixed to the wooden frame and told Lukka, "This is the equipment that Lord Yao God ordered to send, and it is a special protective suit made of [Lone Element] crystals. We've tested it over and over again, and it slows down the silveriness of your body drastically, and it reduces your wear and tear, just a little heavier. ”

"However, the solitary element will gradually and naturally escape over time, so remember to come and replace it regularly, once the armband on the clothes fades, it means that it has become invalid and needs to be replaced."

"The follow-up equipment will be put here one after another, don't worry, Lord Yao Shen has made arrangements, and as long as it is tested, a Yao tribe research station can be established here. You should pay attention to your own safety and keep an eye on your physical condition at all times. ”

This unexpected surprise made Lukka excited: "Yes, my lord! Thank you, Lord Yaoshen, for your concern! It's great to have this! ”

It said to the head of the yao yuan next to it, "Put it on, come." ”

Yaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and his voice hesitated: "I have it too?" ”

"Yes, look at the shape of this set, it's for you."

Lukka puts that weird hazmat suit on the head of Yaogaku.

There was an extra layer of fluffy and bulging flannel on the tombstone, which looked a lot bloated.

Yaoyuan said: "It's not practical, I don't need to ...... Hey? ”

"This thing is an extremely inert fluid, and it can really block the vibrations here? Vibrations are reduced by 90%...... Incredible! What kind of technology is this? ”

The two dragged the wheeled cart all the way back with a full load, all the way to the underground cave.

During the journey, Yaoyuan suddenly spoke, "Luca, I have to tell you something. ”

"There's a treasure here."

Lukka subconsciously said, "What treasure? ”

"Buried under this Silver Plain, something like a fossil like an electric vibrating star, something that has not yet been completely assimilated...... With these supplies, I can conduct a survey! As long as you wait until the weak cycle arrives, you can start work. ”

"We have half a cent for the gains!"

Lukka finally understood.

No wonder a hole was dug here and used as a camp.

It turns out that the diggers came here to dig for treasure before.
