The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After solving the two mercenary guards at the door, Leo and Sylvia entered the mine one by one, and walked all the way to the depths of the mine.

There are not many early warning methods arranged by the Odds Society in the hidden places of the mine, but there are many tricks, and they cover a wide range, ranging from witchcraft, to shamanic spells, to divine spells, there are more than a dozen types , It can be called a complete set of early warning methods for the extraordinary power of the Vinylon Continent.

It has to be said that the Anecdote Society is indeed the most extensive secret force with its members, as can be seen from these early warning methods. Similarly, since the Anecdote Society uses so many early warning methods here, it also represents the importance that the Anecdote Society attaches to this place.

If Leo is given enough time, he can crack all the early warning methods without alarming anyone, but now he obviously doesn't have much thought to crack them one by one slowly, so he can only forcibly destroy these early warning methods , and at the same time, when he walked through some places, he would also drop some rune traps to prevent the people behind from chasing in.

In addition to the early-warning means that contain extraordinary power, in the depths of the mine tunnels where absenteeism should be a resting place, the Mystery Society has also arranged several teams of heavily armed mercenaries to take care of those vital areas to prevent anyone from breaking into them. .

In addition, there are several extraordinary people who obviously have energy fluctuations hidden among the mercenaries, and these extraordinary people are equipped with some strange things, which is enough for them to deal with most of the extraordinary people in the Velen world.

However, neither Leo nor Sylvia is one of the vast majority. The power of any of them is far beyond the limit of these people's handling, so before these well-arranged guards understand what is going on , Sylvia's witch power had already drained the air around them, making them unconscious due to suffocation.

When Sylvia solved the mercenary guards guarding the vital area, Leo could also feel that the first rune trap he left behind was triggered. These rune traps are not killing traps, but Some hallucinogenic traps, when triggered, can create a psychedelic field in a certain area, allowing any intruder to fall into an illusion from a spiritual level.

"Huh?" However, Leo quickly showed a surprised look on his face, and said to himself: "The Academy of Strange Learning is really not easy."

"What's wrong?" Sylvia asked suspiciously.

"Someone from the Abnormal Society easily broke through the first rune trap I left behind." Leo responded briefly, then smiled again, and said, "It's a pity he didn't break through the second rune trap." A rune trap."

Sylvia didn't ask for details, but took a look at the rebuilt absenteeism rest spot, and after finding nothing useful, she and Leo continued to walk down the mine road.

Although there are a lot of forks in the middle of the mine, the traces left by the Stranger Learning Society's dredging of the collapsed mine are too obvious without any cover-up, and it is difficult for the two of them to go the wrong way.

However, as they got deeper into the mine tunnel, Leo and Silvia's faces became more puzzled, because the surrounding environment was far from the underground mine tunnel they had expected.

The climate in the wasteland is humid and hot, and it can be said that it rains almost every day. Logically speaking, not only should the ground be wet, but even the underground soil should be full of seepage water.

In addition, this mine is near the Dajiao River, and the water from the Dajiao River must have penetrated into this area, so according to common sense, the moisture concentration in the mine must have reached the point of suffocation, and blowers and exhaust fans need to be continuously used Sending fresh air into the mine tunnel and removing moisture can ensure that no harm will be caused to the entrants.

However, according to Leo and Sylvia's estimate, their current position has penetrated at least a thousand meters underground, but they can't see any blowing or exhausting equipment in the mine tunnel, and the air not only does not let people It feels wet, but gives people a dry feeling, just like being in a desert.

This is not an illusion, the surrounding air is really dry, there is no water drop from the walls, it feels like touching a dry wall.

"What's going on here?" Sylvia looked around with some doubts, and sensed the surroundings through her method, but she didn't find any traces of supernatural power involved.

"There is no supernormal force involved, nor any abnormal energy." Leo said Sylvia's thoughts, then broke off a rock from the side, looked carefully, and found nothing special about the rock .

This made Sylvia couldn't help laughing: "This is really weird. Compared with the above, it's like two worlds."

"Two worlds?" Sylvia's words seemed to have inspired Leo, and then Leo raised his hand to activate the universal recorder in his hand and activated the environmental analysis module.

Although the environmental analysis module of the general-purpose recorder is an extreme castrated version of the environmental analyzer, it is not professional at all. In the words of the planetary pioneers of the Earth Federation, it is a toy for a two-year-old child, but this environmental analyzer is used to analyze ordinary Environmental conditions, such as air composition and other data, are sufficient.

Soon the analysis data was presented in front of Leo and Sylvia. Sylvia couldn't understand the data at all, but Leo carefully put the original air data of Vinylon World and the current environmental analysis data in the Together, and the differences are specially marked, so that people like Sylvia who don't understand the content of the data can clearly see the difference between the two sets of data.

"You're right, this is indeed not Vinylon, but a subspace that overlaps with Vinylon's world." After reading the comparison list of all the data, Leo also gave the answer: "This subspace and The world of Vinylon overlaps very closely and has almost merged with the world of Vinylon, so the environment here is also affected by the world of Vinylon, so we can survive here, otherwise, in the original state of this subspace debris, I am afraid..."

Leo didn't continue talking, but instead began to think about the relics of prehistoric civilization.

Prior to this, Leo had always believed that the relics of prehistoric civilizations discovered before, such as the wreckage of spaceships, buildings of alien civilizations, etc., all existed in this world, but they were buried for various reasons. The scene he saw now made Leo have another idea, that is, whether it is a spaceship sunk into the sea, or a ruin buried by quicksand or mud, these are likely to come from some subspace debris, and these debris After being captured and fused by the world of Vinylon, those spaceships and ruins were also integrated into the world of Vinylon and became part of the world of Vinylon.

The prehistoric civilization relic they are going to now should be such a prehistoric civilization relic that was mistaken for the native civilization, and the subspace fragments where it is located should have entered the end of fusion, and it may not be long before it will be completely integrated into the world of Velen , and the mine collapse that caused Rembrandt's death should also be caused by the fusion of subspace debris.

While thinking about it, Leo told Sylvia his guess. After hearing this, Sylvia thought about it carefully, and felt that Leo's guess might be right.

Although the Dodd Group has been mainly engaged in politics and business these years, because Sylvia has obtained a lot of knowledge about cosmic technology from Leo, and knows that some prehistoric civilization relics contain technological equipment far beyond the current industry, so she Part of the profits has always been used to purchase items from prehistoric civilizations, or to support the excavation of relics of prehistoric civilizations.

This kind of action is unique in the current world situation. The core of the world now is to defend the homeland and resist mutant monsters. All countries and forces focus on this. Without giving up their funding, those scholars who made a living studying prehistoric civilizations lost their status and became the bottom of society.

There is no doubt that Sylvia's research support on the remains of prehistoric civilization is like a saint in the eyes of those scholars of prehistoric civilization, so the Dodd Group has become the center of prehistoric civilization research in the Vinylon world.

Although Sylvia invested a lot of resources, she also gained a lot. For example, she found a number of general-purpose recorders, and found a lot of usable cosmic civilization weapons and devices, etc., even if these things are absolutely Most of them don't know how to use them, but those devices that can be used can already recover all of Sylvia's investment.

In addition to these devices, the scholars under her have also combined the research on prehistoric civilization into a system, and also gave a conclusion that has become a theorem, that is, all prehistoric civilizations are not connected, they are all separate civilization.

The current prehistoric civilization academic circles all recognize this theorem, but it also raises a question that has not yet been answered, that is, why the world of Vinylon can produce so many separate civilizations, and why these civilizations are not affected by each other.

For example, in a village in Megalica, two separate prehistoric civilization relics were found on both sides of the mountain only separated by a not very high mountain, and judging from various traces, these two prehistoric civilizations should be the same However, everything in the two prehistoric civilization relics, from writing to utensils, etc., has no connection at all, which is basically impossible under normal circumstances.

However, now Leo's speculation undoubtedly gave a reasonable answer to the biggest problem that plagued the prehistoric civilization circle.

With doubts, Leo and Sylvia continued to move forward, and the two soon entered the collapsed area.

The mine tunnel did not collapse as a whole, but collapsed in sections. The Stranger Learning Society has dug up more than 30 collapse points, and used various reinforcement methods to reinforce this section of the mine tunnel.

However, they are still some distance away from the final destination, the underground prehistoric civilization relics, and they seem to have encountered some troubles during this distance, because the blockage of the mine tunnel is a whole piece of tungsten ore, and conventional dredging methods cannot be used , they can only dig out this ore bit by bit through the original mining.

At this moment, there are still miners employed by the Abnormal Society to dig the mines. They are stacking the dug ore on the rail mine car, and when the car is full, let a few people push it up and dump it.

Leo easily made them unconscious, and then came to the end of the mine tunnel, looked at the big ore blocking the way in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "You come, or I come?"

Sylvia also stepped forward, checked the situation, shook her head, and said, "You better do it! If I use the flame of the dragon, I'm afraid the whole ore will be melted, and it may cause two collapse."

Leo nodded when he heard the words, and didn't say anything. He walked directly to the part of the ore that had been dug open, and then raised his hand and seemingly simply drew a root of Turing that shone with real purple light on the ore.

As the root of Turing disappeared into the ore, there was a slight vibration around it, and then the ore split from the middle, and the crack became bigger and bigger, as if there was an invisible force pushing the ore to the surroundings. Soon a passage was formed that allowed one person to pass through.

"So simple?" Seeing this scene, Sylvia was also a little surprised.

Leo replied briefly, "There is a kind of witchcraft in the wizardry of the tower wizard that is specially used for this kind of situation."

Afterwards, Leo walked towards the opened passage, and Sylvia followed closely.

Although there were no torches around to illuminate the road, both Leo and Sylvia had dark vision. Even if there was no light, they could still see the surrounding situation clearly.

After that, the two encountered several collapse points that blocked the mine. Leo used the same method to clear a passage, and their speed was not greatly affected by this.

After walking for about ten minutes, the last collapsed point was cleared away, and the road surface of the mine road behind became much flatter, and the mine road going down was specially built with appendages and wheelchair-assisted moving parts. The installation, it seems that this should be specially prepared for the old man Rembrandt.

After walking down a section of possession, passing through a well-maintained arch, Leo and Sylvia saw a not-so-large underground cave.

In the underground cave, you can see some discarded excavation tools and some excavation equipment, but you can’t see the remains of the trapped people, and there are no valuable prehistoric civilization research materials and items in the tent. It seems that it should be The trapped people packed up their things and took them away while looking for a way out.

On one wall of the cave is a relic of prehistoric civilization. This relic is integrated with the surrounding rock, and it feels as if the builder dug and built it directly on the rock.

But Leo took a closer look, and soon found that the rocks in the main body of the ruins and the surrounding rocks are completely different rocks, they were forcibly kneaded together by an unknown force, just like the main body of the ruins is not a whole rock , It is also formed by the kneading of some small rocks.
