Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan did not stay in the Temple of Poseidon for too long. He then went to other parts of the city and soon found a huge building isolated by an air cover.

"The things in this building must be extraordinary." Xiang Nan immediately realized that there was only one building in the entire Atlantis city that was separated by an air cover.

To have such a unique treatment, it is obvious that the items in it are not simple.

"Is it the treasure robbed by the mermaids for generations, or the granary where they store food?" Xiang Nan couldn't help but speculate, and then quietly walked in.

Although there are magic barriers around and the gate is also protected by magic, Xiang Nan is not an ordinary person. It is not too difficult for him to crack these two magics.

When he entered the house, Xiang Nan was shocked.

He saw that this building was actually a library, which was filled with densely packed books, placed on rows of bookshelves, countless, at least tens of thousands of books.

"Oh my God~" Xiang Nan was surprised, his favorite treasure was books.

Because knowledge is priceless, especially the legendary Atlantis, which has a highly developed civilization. The books it left behind are naturally more valuable.

Xiang Nan quickly opened a book, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw that the book recorded the method of making magnetite.

And the text used for recording is the ancient Greek text. If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to recognize it. Fortunately, Xiang Nan has studied ancient Greek text in the world of "Harry Potter".

Because magic was already very prosperous in ancient Greece. Many powerful wizards were ancient Greeks, and the magic works they passed down were naturally recorded in ancient Greek text, so Xiang Nan also studied ancient Greek text.

He randomly opened another book, but it was a medical book, and he saw that it recorded many incredible medical skills that could regenerate the human body and even make people immortal.

"It's great." Xiang Nan was amazed after seeing it.

He has always been very yearning for the legendary Atlantis, knowing that it is a highly developed civilization with incredible abilities.

It is rumored that the sword of Triton in the hands of Edward Teach, the black beard in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", comes from Atlantis.

It can control ships on the sea at will (but Salazar's Silent Mary does not count, because that ship is a cursed ghost ship.) So the power of Atlantis can be seen.

...

In the following time, Xiang Nan often secretly traveled between Port Royal and the ancient city of Atlantis.

While handling official business in Port Royal, he took care of the temple of the monkey god Chak Baba, while secretly learning the knowledge of Atlantis.

As he studied more deeply, he found that the Atlantis civilization was a highly developed civilization that integrated magic and technology. It had quite high achievements in many fields such as medicine, construction, transportation, machinery, energy, minerals, and metallurgy.

For example, their energy treasure, Magnetite, is the product of magic and technology. They use technology to refine crystals and use magic to empower them.

For example, they used large machinery to mine seabed ore, and then used magic to forge it, and they could make indestructible Orichalcum, also known as mountain copper, a high-strength copper alloy. For example, they developed large ships driven by magnetite, each of which could carry tens of thousands of tons. The Atlanteans drove such ships, sailed in the four oceans, and did business with people from all over the world.

For example, their medical technology was very advanced, and any disease could be cured, and even immortality was not a problem. The fountain of youth that humans dreamed of was not worth mentioning to the Atlanteans.

For example, they had discovered genes, and used genetic engineering and magic to create many half-human, half-beast monsters, such as unicorns, scorpion tails, centaurs, chimeras (the upper body is a combination of lions and sheep, and the lower body is a dragon), griffins, harpies, etc.

But this behavior also incurred the anger of the Olympian gods. In their view, only gods have the power to create. However, the Atlanteans abused genetic technology and created things at random, which was naturally a blasphemous act...

In addition, the Atlanteans relied on advanced technology and powerful magic to fight everywhere and attack other cities protected by gods, which further aroused the dissatisfaction of the gods.

In the end, Atlantis was punished by the gods, and severe floods and earthquakes occurred, and the entire Atlantis sank into the sea.

The Atlanteans suffered heavy casualties in this catastrophe, and only one in a hundred survived. In the end, under the protection of Poseidon, the god of the sea, the remaining Atlanteans turned into mermaids and could barely survive in the sea.

But their losses were too heavy. Originally, Atlantis had a population of tens of millions, but in the end, the remaining Atlanteans were less than 20,000.

Moreover, their factories, machinery, and ships were almost all lost, and most of the cutting-edge talents died in that catastrophe. The surviving Atlanteans couldn't even read the books in the library, which led to a serious break in civilization.

Almost overnight, the Atlantis civilization went from a highly developed magic and technology civilization to an ignorant and backward primitive society civilization.

In order to survive, the mermaids became raw eaters and lived in caves. They ate raw fish, seaweed, and even began to eat humans. They lived in caves and became like wild beasts.

They no longer master high technology and magic, and can only rely on fangs, claws, and a kind of sticky seaweed to go out hunting. Facing human muskets, artillery, and explosives, they have almost no power to fight back.

...

Seeing the experience of the Atlanteans, Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.

A grain of sand in the era, falling on everyone's head, is a mountain.

The same is true for Atlantis. It is obviously such a high civilization, but in the end, it was almost wiped out in a catastrophe. The remaining people have no way to inherit civilization and can only degenerate into beasts step by step. It is really a great sorrow.

Fortunately, they were not stupid enough to destroy the library, and they still retained the last spark of civilization.

And Xiang Nan also acquired a lot of knowledge by studying these books, including technology and magic.

For example, the production of magnetite, genetic engineering technology, mountain copper smelting technology, advanced medical technology and the art of immortality, etc.

What surprised him most was magic. As the territory of Poseidon, the god of the sea, Atlantis generously passed on a lot of magic knowledge to his people.

Because these magical knowledge came from gods, they were not only profound, but also primitive and powerful.

For example, some spells could instantly create huge waves on the calm sea; some spells could create thick fog that stretched for dozens of kilometers, causing ships to lose their direction of navigation. Some spells could make people lose their minds and make them fall madly in love with themselves... All of these benefited Xiang Nan a lot.
