252. "Old Knowledge" in a Foreign Country

Regarding how to defeat the Kraken, Li Nuo did come up with a lot of ideas.

The deep river mermaid tribe behind the female mermaid Vipa is one of the allies that Unas Ring can seek.

If you can get the help of the mermaids underwater, then the Deep Sea Branch will be much easier to face the Kraken and the Dire Sail Wizard.

The problem is that the mermaids don't want to deal with humans.

Selena said that the Deep Sea Branch had found the exact location of the Deep River tribe based on the clues provided by Vipa.

The stronghold of the Deep River Tribe is protected by a magical barrier, and it is impossible to detect the existence of the barrier from the outside of the barrier, nor can you see the inside of the barrier.

The team of the Deep Sea Branch, following Vipa's guidance, touched the barrier and attracted the patrol team of the Deep River Tribe.

The communication between the two sides was not pleasant.

The discovery of the magical enchantment by humans seems to have aroused the disgust and disgust of the Deep River tribe, and even hostility.

After the merman team took Vipa away, they used a few coral stones as a reward, and then sent the wizard team of the Deep Sea Branch away with a tough attitude.

Because the attitude of the Deep River tribe is very stubborn and stiff, and several sharks have shown their weapons,

In the end, the wizard team of the Deep Sea Branch failed to form effective communication with each other, let alone reach a solid cooperative relationship.

As for uniting with the mermaids to deal with the Kraken, alas, Selena is not hopeful.

From a purely racial point of view, the Shark is more like a Kraken than a human, and both Shark and Kraken are aquatic creatures.

It's good that the merman doesn't join forces with the Kraken to deal with humans.

It doesn't matter if the idea of reaching an alliance with the merman doesn't work, Li Nuo has another idea.

"I'd like to meet Roymin." Li Nuo said to the other party in Selena's study:

"Roimin is the leader of the aliens, a woman, and she is also the captain of the Disc ship. When I was on board with Comini to guard the negotiations, I met Roimin and her crew. We may be able to find a way for each other's underwater creatures in the aliens' field of knowledge. ”

"Roymin...", Selena repeated the awkward name, associating it with a female alien with a wide forehead and a receding hairline:

"Well, I know who you're talking about. Roymin and her crew are now being held in a cell at the headquarters of the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department. They must cooperate with the Unas Ring to study alien ships in order to gain limited freedom and necessities. If you want to see her..."

Selena pondered:

"I can help you do that. The law enforcement cell's cells have a set of geographically restricted prison visit equipment that can project your consciousness and communicate with criminals with a magical body. ”

"No problem." Li Nuo nodded, and then asked:

"Is there a wizard who has thought of going with me? They all want to find a way to deal with underwater creatures in the alien knowledge field. ”

Selena shook her head:

"Nope. You're probably the first wizard to think of asking for help from the aliens. It's a really different idea. ”

Selena held up a finger and shook it:

"Wait a few minutes, I'll talk to Law Enforcement. In the case of being a wizard enforcer yourself, you will soon be empowered. If you don't mind, I'd like to join in and hear about your conversation. ”

"Okay." Li Nuo nodded.

Selena took out a pen and paper and wrote the letter on the spot.

After she sent the letter, the two waited about five minutes for a reply.

The reply had some magic lines drawn in ink.

Referring to the magic patterns on the letter, Selena arranged a magic array dedicated to "projection consciousness" in the study.

In the center of the circle are two desks and chairs.

After the circle was arranged, Li Nuo and Selena each sat down on a chair and entered a half-asleep state under the guidance of the circle.

Similar to the process of entering the "Court of Silence", Lenovo's consciousness quickly rose in the pitch darkness, aiming directly at the iron-gray planet overhead bound by metal chains.

After plunging headlong into this planet, an endless iron gray mist enveloped him.

Two seconds later, my eyes suddenly lit up.

An enclosed space illuminated by a magic wall lamp presents itself to Leno and Selena. The walls are made of earth-gray square stone bricks, and the room is rough and shabby, with only three chairs and a table.

As the subject of the visit, the alien woman named Luo Yimin was sitting at a metal table.

She had her hands on the table with heavy chains on her wrists.

She seems to have seen too many prison visits, and at this time she behaved relatively calmly, and she did not see a panicked and helpless look.

Li Nuo looked down at his and Selena's illusionary bodies.

This is not the kind of one-to-one simulated human body, but two luminous cylinders that do not show the external characteristics of the body, such as the contour line, gender, and age.

On the table in front of Li Nuo, there was a classical gramophone.

The phonograph was activated.

The black disc turns slowly.

The phonograph's horn first came out with a rustling voice, followed by a cold male voice:

"Good day, two visitors. The visit lasts up to half an hour. Your communications with the offender will be recorded and stored in the archives. The criminals in front of you, with the help of magic, have learned the lingua franca of Unas Ring. Now, get to work. ”

Leno and Selena came to the table and sat down, facing Roimin face to face.

Li Nuo didn't rush to ask.

He was observing each other.

To be precise, he was observing all the metalwork in this tiny visitor's cell.

He remembered the metal progenitor's ability to move between metal objects at will, and he would never let his guard down.

Even if it was only his consciousness that arrived here.

One by one, the deconstruction techniques are thrown out, and pieces of feedback information come to mind.

Li Nuo nodded secretly.

There is nothing that has been called "anomalous" by the system, and the female alien on the other side is fine.

Oh, by the way, I'll have to ask Selena later what happened to the magic ship that used to belong to Berkeley.

Was it dismantled into parts and sold to the merchant alliance of Bald's Gate, as originally planned...

Li Nuo reminded himself in his heart.

He calmed his mind, looked at Royimin across the table, and said straight to the point:

"We had some trouble dealing with the enemy in the water. We lack the means to kill them effectively. If you can provide us with a practical solution, we will provide you and your crew with some assistance to the extent permitted by law. ”

Roymin crossed his fingers with his hands crossed, rubbed them on the table, and asked in a fluent Unas ring lingua franca:

"I need to test the underwater environment you are talking about, get its environmental parameters, and then I can decide on a solution."

李诺 says:

"What would you do if the underwater environment was similar to the sea you've encountered?"

Roimin looked down and thought for a few seconds:

"Well, there will be a lot of possible options. First of all, you can consider the use of hypervelocity underwater bombs, which are called by you here, and in the metal creation group, we call them 'torpedoes'. You can think of it as a magic bomb that can travel underwater and has a tracking function. ”

Li Nuo nodded slightly, which was the same as he expected.

The torpedo should be the first underwater weapon that everyone who has come into contact with the weaponry on the technological side can think of.

Roimin continued:

"If the torpedo doesn't work, then consider ray magic, sorry, I can't find the right word in your language. To be precise, I'm not referring to ray magic, but..."

Luo Yimin was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally found the right word:

"It's a magical device that emits special beams of light. Yes, that's how you understand it.

"The principle of it is this, generally speaking, the light column is heavily attenuated in seawater, but this thing is not absolute. There may be a 'window that allows a beam of light to pass through' in the seawater.

"A particular color of light will be significantly smaller than other pillars of light when affected by seawater.

"What kind of beam of light can reach a range of several thousand meters, or even tens of kilometers, in seawater, this has to be experimented to draw conclusions."

Li Nuo narrowed his non-existent eyes slightly.

Roymin's words were vague, which would inevitably make the wizards think she was talking nonsense, but Li Nuo thought that the other party was reasonable.

Not only that, but Li Nuo also remembered some popular science knowledge he learned before crossing under the other party's reminder.

In a short video, it was mentioned that "blue-green light" can travel farther distances in seawater.

The blue-green laser beam weapon should be the only underwater laser weapon that can be used in the sea water of the former world.

If you put this on the magic side, it becomes:

By adjusting the energy bands of ray-based spells such as "Blazing Ray" and "Death Ray", you can give them a longer range underwater.

The trouble lies in the fact that the wizard's field of magic has not yet involved the study of "bands".

Most wizards only think about how to create bigger and more spectacular spells.

Li Nuo argues:

Battle spells are used to kill enemies.

So, don't go for flashy, just smash spells into the enemy's head accurately.

Now that I think about it, his simple idea comes from the combat concept in the war movie before the time travel.

Simplicity and efficiency are the true meaning of combat, and Huamei is just wasting war resources.

Back to the question and answer at hand.

Leno didn't care much about Roymin's ambiguous answers, as long as he understood.

"Is there any other option?" Li Nuo asked.

At this moment, Li Nuo had the feeling of searching for information on "Thousand Degrees".

Luo Yimin faced Li Nuo's question, and after a little thought, he said:

"Seawater is a good medium for vertical sound waves. So the sonic class based on vertical sound waves... Belch.. Sonic magic devices can also be effective against underwater enemies. ”

"Vertical sound waves..."Li Nuo was slightly stunned.

Isn't this a longitudinal wave?

That's right!

Li Nuomao suddenly opened!

As mentioned in physics class, sound waves are mechanical waves, and sound waves are longitudinal waves when they propagate in gaseous and liquid media, and may be mixed with transverse waves when they propagate in solid media.

The technology-side weapons developed on the basis of longitudinal waves can also be effective in the underwater environment.

And the effect of this weapon in water will be much, much better than in air.

Roimin raised his hands, dragged the rattling chains, and made a few gestures:

"I have not found a word in your language, so I can only try to explain what I mean. The word sonic is not accurate. The wave I want to describe is a..."

Royimin was once again stuck because there was no corresponding noun in the Unas ring.

She scratched the short hair on the top of her head, looked at the gramophone again, and said with some bitterness:

"I think you're weird, very weird. The phonograph had already been invented, but he didn't know that wave existed. This doesn't make sense. ”

Li Nuo glanced at the gramophone, recalled Luo Yimin's words, and probably knew what kind of wave the other party wanted to say.

Nine times out of ten, infrasound, a type of sound wave that vibrates at a frequency of less than 20 hertz.

Infrasound waves are not easily attenuated and are not easily absorbed by water and air, which is suitable for dealing with underwater krakens.

Leno searched his mind for the vocabulary of the native world, and unexpectedly discovered "infrasound" in the Tatis language.

"Akmeri...", Lino spouts the word "infrasound" in the Tatis language:

"You should be talking about Akmaili, right? This is a sound wave that vibrates at a frequency of less than 20 times per second. ”

Luo Yimin's eyes widened and he looked at Li Nuo:

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about. How do I not know the word Akmaili? Isn't that the language of the Unas Ring? ”

Selena next to her turned her head curiously to look at Li Nuo.

Li Nuo explained to her:

"This is a word in the Chinese language of the Tatis Empire, which literally translates to Unas Ring as 'sound waves that vibrate very slowly'."

Li Nuo turned to Roymin:

"I believe what you say. In fact, after you reminded me, I thought about some of the things I had learned in the past. Thank you so much. If you can provide you with materials and space, can you create the light pillar and sound wave devices you just mentioned? ”

"Should... No problem. But you still have to test the seawater environment first. Roymin said.

Li Nuo Says:

So, what kind of pay do you want? A more spacious cell, or a richer meal? ”

Roimin clenched his hands, bowed his head and said:

"I... I wanted a cell with a view of the sky, it would make me feel a little freer, and the environment was too oppressive right now. ”

Li Nuo glanced at the other party with a scrutinizing gaze.

Due to Roy Min's ability to be a synth, Leno was unable to directly obtain her memory fragments using deconstruction.

Judging from the information on the panel alone, Roymin does not have an interstellar communicator on her, and her energy core is a cold nuclear fusion reactor with a very low output power.

From these two points, the likelihood of her moving into a cell where she could see the sky was very low.

But no matter how low it is, it is by no means 0%.

Li Nuo has not forgotten the "consciousness upload".

Judging from the results of the solution, the female synth in front of her is similar to the previous synths who were in charge of exploration, and they all have the characteristic of "reincarnation of synths".

…

Name: Synthetic human reincarnation

[Type] technology-side synthetic human cloning technology

【Effect】

When a synth dies in battle, its main control chip will try to transmit the data from the "audio-visual data storage module" to an adult's data server, the "mind array".

The new synthetic human body will be used by the Metal Creation Group.

The new synthetic human body inherits the audiovisual data of the previous synthetic human body in order to achieve a seamless connection at the level of consciousness as much as possible.

【Description】

Due to unknown factors, audio-visual data may not be transmitted back to the "mind array".

…

Although the words "may not be returned" appeared in the panel information, Li Nuo still did not take it lightly.

He will always be on high alert to Roimin in front of him.

"We'll consider your proposal." Li Nuo looked at the clock dial on the gramophone, and there were still 15 minutes left.

Li Nuo was not in a hurry to leave, and simply used the remaining time to chat with Luo Yimin about the knowledge of the science and technology side.

I have to say that the identity of the aboriginal of the Tatis Empire has become Li Nuo's best cover at this moment.

He can confidently and boldly show what he has seen and heard about the technological side, and explain it as what he has learned from his studies and life in the Tatis Empire.

As a former assistant professor of history at Berwetting City College, it makes sense that he hears about other disciplines in a hearsay way.

The two chatted, and Roimin gradually became excited.

She was as excited as seeing her fellow countryman in a foreign country full of strangers, and she couldn't help but complain in front of the gramophone:

"Erudite sir, I would like to communicate with you more, you are much easier to communicate with than other wizards. I had to struggle to find the right words to explain what I meant to them.

"If it weren't for knowing that you were a wizard, I would have thought you and I were from the same place.

"I remember you mentioned the Tatis Empire, where is this kingdom?

"From your words, I found that the Tatis Empire is a country that has studied Vamins, I really can't imagine that in the wizarding world, there is such a place..."

The "Vaminsi" mentioned by Roimin is a transliteration of the Tatitian word for "science" in the Unas Ring language. (Later, "science" was used to refer directly to "science" in various contexts.) οΌ‰

How to say it.

Li Nuo and Luo Yimin, two people from different worlds and different cultural systems, have some sympathy for each other because they hold similar views in the field of science.

So much so that Li Nuo was thinking in his heart, whether to think of a way to get Luo Yimin out of prison and build a powerful device on the scientific side for himself.

In this way, Li Nuo can use deconstruction to obtain plastic energy solutions stably.

Following this line of thought and thinking about it carefully, Li Nuo suddenly found that Luo Yimin was a treasure to him.

From the previous conversation, Roimin mentioned the life and work scenes within the metal creation group.

It was indeed an alien force based on "electricity".

Electricity is needed for everything.

This is completely consistent with Li Nuo's idea of using meta-reactors to drive all kinds of plastic magic creations.

In a sense, if Li Nuo wants to build a secondary plane in the future, then Luo Yimin is very suitable for the requirements of being an engineer.

But unfortunately, Roimin was convicted of a witch-level criminal, and the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department did not arrange for her to use money to atone for her crimes.

Li Nuo was unable to use gold coins to get him out of his cell.

Considering that there was a sinister metal progenitor dragon squatting behind the metal creation group, Li Nuo's caution towards Roimin was greater than expected.

"Wait for news, Roymin. When my companion and I return, we will seriously discuss your proposal. ”

Leno and Selena stood up and left the illusion body just before the clock dial's countdown was about to reach zero.

Roymin looked at the illusionary body that was rapidly becoming transparent.

With a clang, the brick door panned open.

The activated armor outside the door stepped into the visiting cell, pulled Roimin out of his chair, and dragged him hard towards his cell.

From beginning to end, Roymin's gaze stayed on the place where Li Nuo's illusionary body disappeared, as if he was looking at a light in the darkness, and as if he was examining a potential prey.
