The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Although the manufacturing method of the Universal Universal Recorder is not only mastered by the Supreme Council of the Universe, several high-tech cosmic civilizations have also mastered the manufacturing method of this device, and in many cases they are OEM for the Supreme Council, but Regardless of the standard or version of the universal recorder produced, it will be imprinted with the logo of the Supreme Council of the Universe when it leaves the factory, because it is a status symbol of the civilization governed by the Supreme Council of the Universe to a certain extent.

However, the brand-new universal recorder that Leo took over from Sylvia does not have any marks of the Supreme Council of the Universe, so there is only one possibility, that is, this universal recorder was created after the Supreme Council of the Universe disappeared. Otherwise, it is impossible for the producer not to abide by the laws and regulations of the supreme council of the universe.

"Where did you find this universal recorder?" Leo asked.

Although Sylvia didn't know what was abnormal about this new universal recorder, she could also hear some abnormalities in Leo's tone, so she thought about it carefully and said, "It's in the Long Night Forest. found in one of the valleys."

"Long Night Forest?" Leo felt a little strange when he heard the name.

"Long Night Forest is the name given by people in the New Bodo area. Originally, the forest had no name. The Bodo people who moved there saw that the plants were dense there. After entering the forest, they could not see the sun, so they called the forest Call it the Forest of Long Night." Sylvia explained, and said: "Its location is in the northeast of the New Porto area, extending from the coastline south to Mount Hope, and east to Harpoon Bay."

"Are the remains of prehistoric civilization found there?" Leo asked.

"No." Sylvia shook her head and continued: "I found a metal mine that I had never seen before in that valley, and when I dug it, I found that it was embedded in the metal mine, as if it grew out of the metal mine. "

Leo thought for a while, then asked again: "Is there a sample of that metal mine?"

"Yes, along with this thing, there are some samples of metal mines. I originally wanted you to identify them when you are free." Sylvia walked to the cabinet beside her while talking. , opened the cabinet, took out a small box from it, and handed it to Leo, saying: "This metal mine is very hard, the hardest among known metal mines, and a lot of tools were used to excavate this thing at first." None were able to dig up a fragment, and it was later discovered that the sap of a tree that grew around the valley softened the metal a little, so that it could be mined and forged."

Leo took the box and opened it to look, only to see two things inside the box, one is a piece of silver-gray ore, this ore does not feel like an ore, but rather a natural flow of metal after melting A metal block, and the other is a wooden bottle, which seems to contain that kind of tree sap.

He was not in a hurry to strengthen the metal ore, but opened the wooden bottle and smelled the smell of the sap, poured out a little, rubbed it on his hands, and then sprinkled the sap all over the metal block next to him.

Sure enough, after coming into contact with the tree sap, the surface of the metal block softened a bit, and you could see subtle nail marks when you pinched it slightly with your fingers.

"Hackwar Metal." After comparing the guess in his heart, Leo quickly got the exact answer and told Sylvia.

"Hackwar metal?" Sylvia was a little dazed and asked, "It's also from the outer space."

Leo nodded, and then explained the origin of this metal in detail.

This metal is a special product of the Hakwa civilization. It is mainly used to make battleships, especially the barrels of heavy guns on battleships, because this metal is not only famous in the universe for its hardness, but more importantly, this metal is a kind of regeneration Metal.

As long as the basic elements of this metal are fixed by special methods, even if the metal is damaged, it can repair itself after a period of time without consuming any resources, just like the self-healing of life.

Judging from the form of the metal in his hand, the fixed basic element form of this piece of metal has been broken, so the self-healing ability of the metal has also disappeared.

And from Sylvia's introduction just now, it is not difficult to see that there is a large amount of this kind of metal in that valley, so Leo has reason to guess that the valley is actually a crash pit left by a warship made of Hakwa metal after it crashed. , and the battleship was completely destroyed for some reason, and the metal was melted into the Yanshi, becoming a man-made metal mine.

Leo stated his guess, and said that after Tolan ascended the throne, he would go there sometime to see if he could find anything useful.

Although he knew where the universal recorder in his hand came from, Leo still couldn't tell which civilization the maker of the universal recorder was, because there are too many cosmic civilizations that use Hackwar metal to make warships, too many to count Clear, so now he can only look for clues from the universal recorder itself.

While thinking, Leo took the new universal recorder with him, activated it in the normal way, and then entered the main control module to view the database on the recorder.

The result still disappointed Leo, because the database on the recorder turned out to be empty, it wasn't deleted afterwards, but it was empty in the first place.

However, Leo was not surprised by this, because when the universal recorder is used for the first time, it will normally be connected to the database of the Supreme Council, and the corresponding data will be copied according to the authority. This is the initial record of the universal recorder.

And now this general-purpose recorder obviously does not have any initialization records, and judging from other usage records, this general-purpose recorder has been turned on at least ten times before.

The general-purpose recorder is very closely connected with the communication network established by the Supreme Council, even at the edge of the universe and in the subspace, it can be connected with the communication network of the Supreme Council, so as long as the Supreme Council of the universe still exists at that time, this completely The pseudo-universal recorder that reproduces everything will definitely automatically connect to the communication network of the High Council, so this just confirms his conjecture just now. This general-purpose recorder was manufactured by imitating the previous general-purpose recorder after the Supreme Council of the universe disappeared.

At the same time, Leo was sure that he had guessed wrong before, that is, the civilization that manufactured this universal recorder was not those advanced civilizations that made universal recorder foundries for the Supreme Council, because their technology could completely disappear in the Supreme Council of the universe. Finally, improve the module system by using the recorder according to your own ideas, and you don't need to use these module systems with the obvious characteristics of the Supreme Council.

Leo tested the functional modules inside. As far as the module operation is concerned, it is no different from the previous general-purpose recorder, but because some modules in the previous general-purpose recorder are broken and the functions are not complete, so now this general-purpose recorder is in the Much better than the previous one in use.

After several searches, Leo found that the manufacturer of this general-purpose recorder did not completely copy the previous system of the general-purpose recorder, nor did he modify the previous system, but added a functional module outside this system. The underlying code used is very complicated, almost mixed with the code styles of more than a dozen different civilizations, it feels like a sewing monster, but the surface operation interface still uses Universal Language as its operating language.

By reading a very simple instruction file, Leo knew that this extra functional module turned out to be a general-purpose recorder scanning and cracking device, which means that the function of this general-purpose recorder is to scan to other general-purpose recorders, and then Crack the protective wall of the recorder and hack the recorder.

This discovery made Leo have to deny his previous guess that this recorder was made after the disappearance of the Supreme Council of the Universe, because this universal recorder was obviously made for the Universal Recorder of the Supreme Council of the Universe. That is to say, it was created by a mysterious organization against the supreme council of the universe.

Although in the universe, the Supreme Council is the absolute controller, and the development and evolution of all cosmic civilizations are under its control, but no matter how powerful the control is, there will still be some small gaps that cannot be controlled, and among those small gaps are Some anti-Universe Supreme Council organizations were derived.

The organization of the Anti-Universe Supreme Council is not a unified organization. Even if their purposes and slogans are completely the same, they are all separate organizations. Such organizations exist in almost every civilization in the universe, and most of them are lurking In the underground, suppressed by their respective civilized societies, only a few of them blatantly stood in front of the stage, and even received some funding from the civilized main government.

For the Supreme Council of the universe, these opposition organizations are as insignificant as ants, and those supreme beings are not even willing to look down at these organizations slightly, because they know very well that no matter how they develop, these organizations cannot be against the Supreme Council of the Universe. No impact, because when these organizations develop, the first person who wants to attack these organizations is the main government of their own civilization, so the affairs of the anti-universe Supreme Council organization are handed over to the respective civilization governments.

However, this situation seems to have changed before Leo died, because Leo saw a piece of news when he participated in the last battle, that is, an anti-universe supreme council organization of a higher civilization invented an extremely powerful The antimatter weapon created a black hole with a mass large enough to almost kill an observer of the Supreme Council of the Universe. Although this observer is not one of the executive members of the Supreme Council of the Universe, his power and identity are no less The executive councilors are all Omega-level high-level life forms, and they are also supreme existences.

According to the final content of the news, it can be seen that various civilizations have begun to suppress and ban the anti-Universe Supreme Council organizations within their own civilizations. Obviously, this unexpected event has changed the attitude of the Universe Supreme Council. Pay attention to the ants who are enough to pose a threat to those supreme existences.

In the past, Leo had only heard about the reputation of the anti-universe supreme council organization, and had never had any contact with this organization. He did not expect to come into contact with something of this kind of organization in this way to deal with the supreme council of the universe. Assembly device.

Leo didn't think much about it. For him, it is still a question of whether the Supreme Council of the Universe exists, let alone the Supreme Council of the Anti-Universe Organization. The search intrusion module of the Universal Logger is of interest.

So, he activated the functional module according to the method in the instruction file, and when the module was activated, a three-dimensional imaging scan appeared in front of Leo and Sylvia.

The white light spot in the center of the scanned picture is naturally the universal recorder in Leo's hand, and the red light spot next to it is Sylvia, obviously the universal recorder in Sylvia's hand has been scanned.

In addition, the scan chart is not just a simple feedback wave chart, but also scans the surrounding topography, buildings, streets, etc. while scanning the general recorder, and outlines a complete Austrian map. Doreen 3D city map.

However, in this city map, places full of special energy, such as wizard towers, church halls, and shaman temples, were not scanned, but were only marked as a cloud of gray shadows.

"Look!" Sylvia suddenly pointed to a location on the map and reminded.

Leo looked over and saw a new red dot appearing on the map, and then he compared the surrounding area of ​​the red dot and said, "It seems to be the residence of Baron Lubeer."

"It's the Sparrow Garden, the retirement home of the old French nobles who like to put on airs." Sylvia nodded and said, "It seems that he also has a general-purpose recorder on hand."

"It's not on hand, it's his underground." Leo pointed to the red dot, and then controlled the scanned image to flip the position, and found that the red dot was located below the ground, and there were some man-made things around the red dot. It looks like an undiscovered monument.

"It seems that I still need to move some hands and feet to get the things." Sylvia smiled and said.

Afterwards, several red dots appeared on the scanned image one after another. Except for one of these red dots, which seemed to have been held by someone, the other general-purpose recorders were all buried underground, and without exception, those There are also some artificial objects around the general recorder buried in the ground, and there is even a small spaceship that looks almost completely disintegrated.

In the end, the scanning range passed through the city wall, and after extending for more than 30 kilometers, it reached the limit. There was no new scanning information feedback, and the content on the scanning map was fixed.

"I'll send you the location data of these recorders together with the scan pictures, and you can send someone to dig them out when you have time." Seeing that the scan was over, Leo controlled the module to export the data, and at the same time sent the data to Sylvia, It's just that this time he didn't transmit and receive according to the normal method, but directly entered Sylvia's recorder through an intrusion method, and saved the data in the recorder's database.
