Alien paradise

According to the content of the book, humans divide the wonders of this world into four categories.

The lowest form of wonder is also called artificial wonder. As long as there are blueprints and raw materials, it can be manufactured in batches and used according to human needs, such as the steam train in front of you.

This is what Chaoyang has always puzzled about before - as a steam-powered machine, its front car shape is really small and delicate, and its parking and starting are also quite flexible, highlighting its technological level that is incompatible with steam engines. Now he figured out that it was just a strange contraption that looked like a steam train.

Beyond that, it’s not something humans can create.

For example, third-class strange structures, also known as arcane artifacts, range in number from dozens to thousands. They can be used by people, but their original bodies cannot be copied.

Second-class wonders still do not break away from this category. In addition to being more rare, the biggest difference is that second-class wonders already possess a certain degree of "intelligence." Of course, the book will not write it so straightforwardly. The recorder describes it as some kind of independent consciousness. Some can be understood by others, while others cannot be communicated at all.

If Chaoyang had never seen Wanli Jiqian, he would definitely think this was nonsense, but now he no longer dares to deny it easily.

As for the first-class wonders, they are those unique existences.

For example, the Universal Machine of Gleick Academy.

Each first-class wonder has been given a separate name, and it can definitely be called a legendary existence. Their owners are either giant corporations or royal nobles, and most of them only have a name, and their abilities and appearance are top-notch confidential information.

It can be inferred from the horizontal sunrise of the Wanli Machine that none of these first-class wonders are fuel-efficient lamps - they are more like powerful living bodies, and their effects can even affect the world structure.

As for where these strange structures came from, the book does not give an answer.

But at least one thing is certain, the strange structures of the Old World have been basically fully developed. If you want to find new strange structures, opening up the New World is the only option.

This view was also confirmed by Chaoyang in the book "History of Brilliant Castle".

In fact, there is a huge mine less than three kilometers northwest of Brilliant Castle, and the special ore produced there is one of the essential raw materials for man-made wonders.

At the same time, the owner of this mine is Gaotian Mining Company, which is also the main sponsor of the Chengbei Police Department.

For Chaoyang, the originally hazy world seemed to suddenly become much clearer.

Although there are still many unknowns, a complete thread has closely connected the city he saw with this unknown world.

This trip to the academy was indeed not in vain.

Returning to the secret residence on Jade Street, Chaoyang noticed a note tucked under the door.

When I opened it, there was only a row of writing on it.

"I already have a clue about the matter you entrusted. Please come to the old place to discuss it."

…

Chaoyang turned into a detective again, and after confirming that no one was watching around, he opened the door of 375 Oak Street.

Entering the living room, besides Judy and Dane, he also unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

Miss Jenny from the Yenni Temple.

She was still dressed like a nun, and a small drop of sweat could be seen on her red cheeks. It seemed that she had taken time out of her busy schedule to come here.

But Jenny didn't recognize him, after all, he was just a shadow at the time, and only participants in the park game could see him.

"You are Mr. Chao, the detective who solved the serial murder case, right?" Jenny stood up immediately and bowed to him respectfully.

Chaoyang was slightly startled and looked at the other two people.

"I told Miss Jenny the general story of what happened. Don't worry, she will never leak our information to outsiders." Judy explained quickly. "After all, what you entrusted is not trivial. After much thought, she is the only person I know who is most likely to be able to help you."

"Miss Judy is kind to the Yenni Temple. I'm grateful before it's too late. How could I report you two?" Jenny said seriously, "It's just that I didn't expect that the people who broke into the Sanctuary that day were actually related to you. I thought They are mercenaries who come for fame."

"How did you guys meet? Can you tell me?" Chaoyang was still confused.

"Hehe, it's actually very simple. I helped her report on a few troublesome things." Judy said a little embarrassed.

"If it were simple, Jedi Brothers wouldn't be the only newspaper willing to publish it." Jenny shook her head and turned to Chaoyang, "The church's funds used to be quite limited, but the number of injured workers abandoned by the company has increased year by year. We are almost at the point where we can't do anything about it. Thanks to Miss Judy, who helped us tell the truth and repeatedly reported the company's abandonment of the injured, which aroused widespread discussion among the public, the Earl finally came forward to force the company to sign a medical contract for the injured with the Yeni Temple. With the company's funding, our situation has gradually improved."

"This is what I should do." Judy rubbed her hands, "Compared to Mr. Dann, I can only report some easily accessible people's livelihood news."

"But your report saved many people's lives." Jenny changed the subject and went directly to the topic, "I already know what Mr. Chao wants. To be honest, if Miss Judy hadn't come to me, I definitely wouldn't have Will agree to this. After all...collecting corpses is very much like...very much like..."

"It's very much like something people from a cult would do, right?" Chaoyang smiled helplessly. He was used to such misunderstandings.

"Of course I know you are not!" Jenny said quickly, "otherwise you would not lend a helping hand to Miss Judy and rescue Mr. Dane in such a dangerous situation. The Yenni Temple does have the ability to provide fresh bodies, but Doing this will bring us certain risks - the biggest problem comes from public opinion. If someone finds out, I will definitely not be able to escape the blame, and the reputation of the sisters will also be implicated."

Chaoyang heard that this meeting was a negotiation.

"I understand, what do you want? If it's money, I can pay for each body -"

"I don't need money, I just want to meet one person." The other party interrupted.

people? This is really a strange request.

Chaoyang asked in surprise, "Who?"

"E, E Zhiyuan." Jenny said in an awkward tone.

After listening to it several times, he realized that the other person was talking about Zhang Zhiyuan.

"He is yours, right? Everyone who came to Yeni Temple to investigate the serial murder case that day was your subordinate."

Hearing this, Dane and Judy suddenly showed unbearable expressions.

By the way, in their hearts, Zhang Zhiyuan had already died in the blazing flames of the theater. Chaoyang nodded thoughtfully, "He is indeed. But I have to ask, why do you want to see him?"

"Zhiyuan's friend... masters the secrets of medicine! I want to ask him more! No... all the sisters in the church want to learn from him!"

"What?" Chaoyang really couldn't understand this time.

"That's right...he told me that boiling water can effectively deal with the scarlet curse. I didn't believe it at first, but once I had some free time, I gave it a try and found that this method is really effective!" Jenny said more and more. Excited, "Later I popularized this method in the church, and the mortality rate of severely ill patients dropped by 30% in just one week!"

boil water? Chaoyang vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. However, since it had nothing to do with the serial murders, he didn't take Zhang Zhiyuan's chat to heart at all.

At this point, Jenny suddenly knelt down on one knee, "I know that these medical principles must be worth thousands of gold and cannot be exchanged for a few bodies, but I still hope to see him and pray that his friends will teach those secrets. Give it to us. This move can save thousands of lives. Please agree to this request!"
