The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Because of the sacrificial ceremony, more priests of the Sea God Church entered Castle Black, and the guards and servants of Castle Black were used to it. The passage of the altar, so these people have hardly entered the main castle of Castle Black, and have very little impact on the lives of Leo and Sylvia.

However, Leo is also very interested in this sacrificial ceremony of the Sea God Church. He spends a little time every day going to the altar to look at some of the items that the priests needed for the ceremony. Most of these items are decorative items. But there are also some items that are wonders made of high-energy matter.

The raw materials for making these wonders are all uniform, they are bones from certain sea creatures, and most of these bones have some natural patterns, these patterns are very similar to the unique symbols and imprints of the gods of the Sea God Church, but simpler, A little more primitive.

For Leo, these strange patterns are like the original base of a math problem, providing him with a very valuable reference material and comparison data, through analysis and comparison of these strange patterns and the religious symbols of the Sea God Church In just a few days, he has already deciphered one of the most mysterious knowledge of the Sea God Church, the sea pattern.

The main supernatural powers mastered by the various churches in the Velen world are almost all given by the gods, and they don't need to learn any profound knowledge in order to master this power, they only need to dedicate their devout beliefs, but some ancient After being in contact with supernatural power for a long time, the church will develop another supernatural power that is closely related to the belief in gods, but does not require the gift of gods, such as the empty sound technique of the Church of the Lord of the Sky, and the stone power of the King of the Hill. language and so on.

In addition to these powers being extremely compatible with the divine powers of their respective gods, the method of mastering these powers is more like the method of wizards mastering witchcraft. It needs to be learned and practiced to form this kind of mysterious knowledge. The more you learn, the more proficient you practice. The more you get this power, the more powerful you will be.

The pattern of the sea is such a kind of mysticism belonging to the church of the sea god. Usually, only senior priests of the church of the sea god who have reached a certain level of divinity and have obtained at least three kinds of divine arts bestowed by the sea god are eligible to learn this kind of knowledge.

Although this kind of religious mystic knowledge has always been considered in the rumors to be one of the most difficult to master mystical knowledge in the world, in Leo's view, this so-called most difficult to master should be attributed more to the power of the church. rather than knowledge itself.

At least, in his opinion, it shouldn't be difficult for any tower wizard to break the mysticism of the Sea Rune. effect, and may even have no effect, which should be one of the reasons the outside world says it is the most difficult to grasp.

Leo was suddenly interested in the sea pattern because he felt that the envoys of the Kingdom of England could sail safely through the gray fog sea area, and the power used in it should be related to the sea god, and he could not touch and use the sea god's divine power. Naturally, it is impossible to find the secret of passing through the gray mist sea area from this aspect, so the pattern of the sea became the direction of his breakthrough.

After deciphering the sea pattern in a short period of time, Leo found an opportunity to sneak into the ship of the Kingdom of England's mission. Through the double search of the spiritual net and naked eye observation, he learned about the internal and external conditions of the ship.

Although, as he expected, a large number of sea patterns were found on the ship, and it can be deduced that the function of these sea patterns is to control ocean currents, control marine life, etc., but no one was found in these sea patterns. It may be related to the fog.

And there is another very strange thing, that is, there is no large enough storage room for storing charcoal on this steam ship. According to the size of the storage room of the steam ship, the total amount of charcoal in this storage room is only It is only enough for the ship to sail a few hundred nautical miles at sea, and it is impossible for the ship to sail from the Kingdom of England to Randall.

This also made Leo interested in the steam engine of the steam ship, because if it is really possible to let the ship sail to Randall with only such a small amount of fuel, unless there is something wrong with the power plant and firepower of the ship steam engine A leap forward.

However, the result of the inspection made him a little disappointed, because the steam engine of this ship is just an ordinary steam engine, and there is no commendable improvement, and judging from the waste residues that have not been cleaned up in the steam engine boiler, the fuel put into this boiler is only It can only turn the inside of the boiler into steam, and the total amount of steam is not enough to drive other components of the steam engine.

All kinds of unreasonable designs made this ship that can pass through the gray fog sea reveal a bit of weirdness, and it also made Leo more curious, and once again scanned the inside and outside of the entire ship with a more careful mental net scanning method. , and after scanning it again and again, he really found some interesting places.

Leo discovered that on this all-metal ship, there are actually two all-wooden rooms, one room is at the bottom of the ship, and the other room is vertically upward, on the top of the ship, next to the captain's cockpit.

The reason why Leo didn't discover this weird place before was mainly because in his subconscious, he always regarded this metal ship as an ordinary ship in the Velen world, and ordinary ships in this world are all wooden, so naturally he also He didn't pay much attention to the wooden cabin, and it wasn't until the second scan that he concentrated his attention and discovered the abnormality inside.

If it's just a wooden cabin, Leo wouldn't take it seriously, because no one is sure that the designer of this ship has any eccentricity, and likes to design two wooden cabins on an all-metal boat.

What really caught Leo's attention was that his mental network investigation found that the two wooden cabins were actually alive, which meant that the two cabins were not so much made of wood as they were very similar in appearance to the cabins. creature.

Although the cabin-shaped creatures sound weird, compared with those strange aliens that Leo encountered in the universe, the cabin-shaped creatures have become a lot more normal.

After discovering the weirdness of these two cabins, Leo immediately carefully checked the inside and outside of the cabins. He found that except for a few sea patterns on the ship that existed alone, the other sea patterns were all in the form of a dark line. They were connected together in different ways, and gathered into the two wooden living cabins respectively, and finally gathered in a small pit sunken in the middle of the room.

Leo's spiritual net also found some liquid in those two small pits. According to estimates, these two small pits should be filled with this mysterious liquid before.

Leo felt that this mysterious liquid might be the key to the ship's safe passage through the gray mist sea area, so he tried to sneak into one of the wooden living room, took some liquid from the small pit, and dug out some cabins The living body of the wall.

"Did you find anything?" Sylvia asked curiously after returning to the castle.

"There are some discoveries." Leo took out the liquid and living body he took from the ship, and then told Sylvia what he just discovered.

"Do I need to prepare anything?" Sylvia knew that Leo would definitely study these two things, so she asked again.

"No need!" Leo shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "I will study these two things in the laboratory for the past two days. If I haven't come out on the day of the ceremony, you can come here Call me."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Sylvia's answer, he took the things to his laboratory room in the main castle and began to study these two items.

The first thing Leo took out to study was the living fragments of the cabin. The reason why he studied the living fragments first was not to say that liquids were not important. Obviously those liquids should be the key, but compared to studying living organisms In terms of shape and other issues, it is more difficult to analyze the liquid composition.

If it is in the universe, there is a special biological microscopic detection instrument, just put the biological tissue into the instrument, it can analyze the biological cell structure, genetic characteristics, etc., and even deduce the complete biological tissue in reverse. What does the body look like.

But now Leo can only use the two abilities of spiritual vision and spiritual network to study the biological form of living fragments, and through the most microscopic scanning and observation over and over again, he can find out the physical characteristics and genetic structure of biological cells, and compare them in his brain. Based on the data of known organisms, similar biological information can be found, so as to analyze and speculate on the ability of the living organisms in that cabin.

This kind of analysis and comparison work does not have any skills and methods at all, some are just mechanical analysis, and all that is needed is time. This is not difficult for Leo, he only spent half a day on the In my mind, I constructed the raw data of biological cell structure and genetic characteristics, etc. for analysis and comparison, and then I spent nearly two days comparing the data of the biological database in my brain.

Leo’s biological database stored in the brain is derived from the fourth-level biological public database of the Supreme Council of the universe. This level of public database records the biological characteristic data of 40 billion major living things in the universe. This database is a public database. Any civilization Those who have reached the intermediate level of cosmic civilization can obtain the qualifications to enter this database.

The cyborg warriors of the Earth Federation in the early days also needed to take on the task of star development, so almost every cyborg warrior would be forcibly stuffed with a large amount of biological data before leaving the factory, although the entire fourth-level biological database could not be completely included in the second brain. However, it can include the iconic biological characteristics of all biological types, and its number is more than 10 million.

Although Leo's second brain seems to have disappeared, in fact Leo can be sure that the second brain is completely integrated with his main brain, so the database in the second brain is naturally integrated into the main brain In the database, except for one that needs to be analyzed subjectively, and one that can be analyzed passively, the usage is not much different from when you have a second vice-brain.

After two days of comparison, Leo completed the comparison and analysis of more than 10 million biological characteristics, and also found the cosmic creature that best matches the various biological characteristics of the living body in this cabin, or more correctly, time subspace biology.

For a long time, the supreme council of the universe has been exploring the subspace, but even after countless years, their understanding and mastery of the subspace is far from enough, so the rewards for various things in the subspace have not been revoked. The ones with the most rewards are subspace creatures.

In the fourth-level biological database of the universe, the data on creatures in the subspace is always listed as a separate item. No matter how different the creatures in the subspace are from appearance to interior, they are all classified into one category. Continue to divide.

The reason for this situation is that the same kind of subspace creature whose appearance is almost exactly the same has completely different internal structures, just like two kinds of creatures that have nothing to do with each other.

This is not only the case for different creatures, even if the same kind of creature is allowed to recover naturally after vivisection, and then undergoes a second dissection, the biometric data obtained are completely different, which makes every kind of creature in the subspace Living things are unique.

Even so, subspace creatures still have several fixed biological characteristics. By comparing these fixed biological characteristics, the comparator can easily find subspace creatures.

Among the fragments of the living body in the cabin that Leo is currently analyzing, several characteristics are consistent with those of subspace creatures, but it is completely different from this kind of subspace creatures in some places, from which we can find many artificially synthesized shadows in the space. in.

"Has the Kingdom of England mastered the technology of synthetic organisms from the remains of those spaceships?" After Leo discovered this, an idea appeared in his mind, but he quickly denied himself because he found that this synthetic organism There are hardly any details of science and technology in the biotechnology, but instead it is mixed with some kind of primitive supernatural power, more like the method used by the natural shamans of the Mozambique continent.

Thinking about it carefully, the Kingdom of England can be said to be the country that values ​​wasteland shamans the most in the world of Velen. Even countries in the mainland of Mozambique, such as Megalica, have a contemptuous attitude towards tribal shamans, let alone setting up disciplines. The project is to study shaman. Even among the people, most tribal shamans adopt a semi-banned attitude. This is mainly because the tribal shaman is too deceptive. The loss in this area, so the tribal shamans are jealous and fearful, more than appreciation and seeking knowledge.

On the contrary, although the Kingdom of England had conflicts with wilderness tribes during the colonial period and suffered a lot, they were very interested in the tribal shaman culture and power in the conflict, so the Kingdom of England was established in the National University The only discipline in the entire Vinylon world that specializes in the study of shaman culture, even opened up domestic restrictions on shaman culture, allowing shamans from the wasteland to enter the Kingdom of England to preach, so some tribes belonging to the England people also emerged in the Kingdom of England Shaman, it is not incredible to master some supernatural power of shaman.
