The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Before coming, Leo had seen the information about the Hans family manor, but the content of the materials he saw focused on how the Hans family expanded their family power to Beruk City, and under the rejection of the local forces, Get a foothold and integrate into the noble system of Beruk City.

Regarding the situation of the Hans family manor, Leo also pays more attention to human factors, such as the builder of the manor, the first owner of the manor, etc. He did not pay too much attention to the content related to the manor building, but only noticed Other people's descriptions of the manor, and most of this description uses the word weird, and other different words express similar meanings to the word weird.

Now, after seeing several main buildings of the Hans Family Manor, Leo understands why everyone who sees the Hans Family Manor has the same opinion, because even in the eyes of the people of the Earth Federation, the Seventh Colonial Warehouse of the Federation is also Also an oddly shaped object.

The whole building looks like a bunch of squeezed bubbles sticking out a few tentacles, piercing into the surrounding land, and there are some sunken holes in the tentacles, which look like rotten Like the sores, people can't help but produce a disgusting feeling.

It is precisely because this architectural form is very unique and impressive, that Leo was able to recognize at the first sight of the Hans family manor that this building was imitating the Seventh Colonial Warehouse of the Federation.

Despite the weird and disgusting appearance of the Seventh Federal Colonial Warehouse, its practicality is very high. From the time it was manufactured until the time when Leo lived, this colonial warehouse was still being built and practical. This is mainly because Because this kind of colony warehouse can adapt to most planetary environments, it can ensure that the earth colonists can survive well in most planetary environments that are not suitable for human habitation.

Although the core technology of the Seventh Colonial Warehouse is still in use, the external structure of the Colonial Warehouse has undergone several small-scale modifications. Although no matter how modified it is, it cannot change its weird shape, but it is not difficult to distinguish from some small details of the shape. Which version of the colonial warehouse I saw belongs to.

For example, judging from some features of the appearance of the Hans family manor in front of us, the building of this manor should be a copy of the original version of the Seventh Colonial Warehouse.

Due to material limitations, the tentacles used as energy conduits and energy defense systems were only five at first, but other more suitable materials were quickly found, and the number of tentacles doubled.

Now the number and shape of the tentacles manufactured by the Hans family manor are the first version of the seventh colony warehouse, which also made Leo think of his original guess about this world, Priss Colonial Planet, because as far as he knows, Priss The colony star is the colony star that uses the seventh colony warehouse of the first version of the federation the most. After the disappearance of the Pulis colony star, the seventh colony warehouse has been improved to the second version, and all the colony warehouses of the first version have been remodeled or eliminated. up.

Since the Hans family manor was built like this, the person who designed these buildings for the Hans family must have seen the seventh colonial warehouse.

"Tasker Hans." The name immediately came to Leo's mind. Tusker Hans was the first owner of the Hans family manor in Beruk City, and he was the grandfather of Boj Hans. He is the key figure for the Hans family to gain a firm foothold in Beiruk City, but he was kidnapped by the enemy in his later years, and his body was divided into many pieces, which have not been found yet.

According to the information, Tusker Hans is the designer of the Hans family manor, and he led the construction of the Hans family manor in the federal territory, which means that all the manors of the Hans family were designed and built by him, so Even if he hadn't seen the seventh colonial warehouse with his own eyes, he must have seen something related to the seventh colonial warehouse, otherwise it would be impossible to grasp the details of the shape so accurately.

"Your Excellency Leo, the master has been waiting in the manor for a long time, please follow me!" Just as Leo was lost in thought because of the shape of the manor, a well-dressed man walked out of a resting pavilion not far from the road. A middle-aged man, he came to Leo, explained to Leo respectfully, and then led Leo through the orchard to the main entrance of the manor under the hill.

At this time, Bojie Hans, who had already received the news, was already waiting there. After seeing Leo, he immediately greeted him and said, "I heard that the commissioner has something to do with you, so I thought you wouldn't come today." gone."

Leo responded, "He did have something to do with me, but I didn't agree to him right away, and he didn't bother, so he left."

"You didn't agree?" Bojie Hans obviously knew what the commissioner was looking for him for, so he was a little surprised, and said: "This is not just a design of a weapon, but there will be an order for weapon production in the future. You know There are people in the capital who have already fought for it."

"I didn't refuse, but I didn't agree immediately." Leo explained in detail: "The commissioner asked me to create a weapon with great lethality in a short period of time, but it takes a long time to involve any kind of weapon. , it can’t be done in a short period of time, not to mention starting from scratch, it will take longer. If I can have a set of weapon plans as the basis, even if there are problems with that set of plans, I can still have traces to follow. The plan comes up with a more practical version, but the problem is that the commissioner can't come up with that set of plans, so I..."

Bojie Hans suddenly interrupted Leo, and asked in a deep voice: "Wait, you mean that if you have an original plan, even if it is a failed plan, you can research something?"

Leo replied deliberately and cautiously: "I can't say 100%, but no matter what happens in the end, I should be able to produce a real product."

Although he said it cautiously, it turned into a different taste in the ears of Bojie Hans. He subconsciously thought that Leo was very sure. Thinking of this, he had an idea in his heart, but this idea Whether it can be implemented in the end is not up to him to decide, so he didn't continue to talk about this topic, but led Leo towards the manor on the hill.

Leo didn't ask about the follow-up of this matter, but changed the subject actively: "The architecture of this manor is really strange. I have traveled to many places and this is the first time I have seen such a strange building."

"It's not so strange, maybe it's more appropriate to use the word weird." Bojie Hans laughed at himself and said, "We also want to build some manors that are more in line with the aesthetics of normal people, but it's a pity that the ancestors of the family formulated it. This system does not allow us descendants to make any changes, so that our family's manor has become a laughing stock of others. It is not even allowed to hold banquets in the manor, and family members are unwilling to live in such a manor. In the end, after these manors were built, they became decorations and warehouses."

"There is such a thing." Leo pretended to be curious and asked, "Why is there such a rule?"

Bojie Hans obviously didn't think much, and replied directly: "I want to know too."

When he said these words, there was a hint of complaint in Bojie Hans' tone. Obviously, he should be as puzzled by the vast majority of the Hans family that the main building of the manor was designed in such a weird way. He is dissatisfied, but he can't do anything, obviously he does not belong to the core decision-making process of the Hans family.

Seeing that he couldn't find out anything from Bojie Hans, Leo didn't ask any more questions.

The two soon came to the manor. Although there were no other members of the Hans family living in this manor, and there were not many servants. Most of them were responsible for cleaning and cleaning, but the protective measures here were not so good. It is also unambiguous. Just from the gate of the manor to the main entrance of the building, there are five or six people in charge of security patrolling back and forth. These people are fully armed and wear various weapons. Judging by the dissipated smell of blood, they must have seen blood in recent months.

Because Leo didn't hide his sight, Bojie Hans also clearly saw the object of his attention, and thought that he had guessed Leo's thoughts, and took the initiative to explain: "After all, this place is in the suburbs. , There are always some problems with law and order, and now the manor here is temporarily a place for the family to store their belongings, and there will be more or less valuable things in those belongings, so we need to arrange enough people to protect them."

Leo questioned: "Why don't you move to the outskirts of the city? I think with the current relationship of the Hans family in Beruk City, no one should stop your family from buying land in the outskirts and building a manor."

"It's not necessary!" Bojie Hans shook his head and said, "Placing these buildings here is already embarrassing. If they are placed in the suburbs, everyone in the city can see them. It's even more embarrassing."

After listening to what Bojie Hans said, Leo smiled and said nothing more.

The two entered the house. Although the buildings were weird in shape, the structure and layout of the house were very different from ordinary noble villas. However, according to the shape of the house, the manor building had a little more attics. There are also some detours, and people who walk for the first time can easily get lost.

Bojie Hans led Leo some detours, and came to a library outside the library. Outside the library, he held several armed soldiers. These soldiers were a little different from the manor security guards he had seen before. These soldiers wore Their weapons are not consistent, but they are more matched according to their own fighting habits. In addition, these people all have weak energy fluctuations, some come from their bodies, and some come from the weapons and accessories they wear.

When Bojie Hans and Leo appeared in front of these people, these people did not let down any vigilance because of Bojie Hans, their hands were always on their weapons, and their body postures were ready to attack or attack at any time. state of defense.

Bojie Hans was not dissatisfied with the behavior of the few people, nor did he pose as a master in front of the few people, but honestly took out an order and handed it to one of them, After the man took the order, he turned around and entered a small room next to him, walked out after a while, handed the order back to Bojie Hans, and then gestured to the people next to him, and there were two people Each took out a key, inserted it into the two keyholes on the door, rotated different numbers of turns and positions at the same time, and then moved the guard on the door at the same time.

I saw that a thick door comparable to a bank vault was slowly opened, Bojie Hans turned his head and motioned to Leo to let him in.

"Aren't you going in with me?" Leo frowned and asked.

Bojie Hans explained: "The command only allows you to go in, and you can read every book in it at will. If you need food or want to leave, there is a bell inside to notify the outside, and someone will prepare food for you. Or let you out, if you don't come out by yourself, I will pick you up in two days." He paused and said: "One thing I want to remind you is that there are several bookcases in the library that are locked. , although the key to open it is hanging next to it, but I still don’t recommend you to look at the books in those bookcases, because those books are all dangerous.”

Leo nodded slightly, without saying anything, stepped in, and almost the moment he walked in, the door closed behind him.

He turned his head to look at the door behind him, estimated in his mind how long it would take him to open the door, and how much effort it would take to force it open, then he stopped thinking and turned his attention back to the bookshelf in front of him.

I saw that this library is very large, there are three floors in total, each floor has hundreds of bookshelves of the same size and shape, and there are dozens or even hundreds of books on each shelf. The municipal library in Luke is much smaller.

Leo didn't rush forward to take out the book to read, but used his mental net to scan the inside and outside of the library, and soon he found that there were some items with supernatural power hidden in the library, these items should be It was deliberately placed here, and the items with the strongest energy fluctuations are all in the bookshelves mentioned by Bojie Hans, and those bookshelves are located on the innermost side of the third floor.

After finding no other abnormalities, Leo walked to one of the bookshelves, picked up a book and quickly flipped through it.

He didn't try to understand the contents of these books, but just recorded them completely in his brain database, and read them slowly when he had time later.

Because he has evolved to the height of a seventh-level psyker, his spiritual power has transformed into another higher level state, which has also transformed his memory, and the speed of recording books is many times faster than before. Nearly a hundred books on the bookshelf were completely recorded, and it took less than ten minutes.

In this way, he was like a sponge that fell into the water, quickly absorbing the surrounding water, and the information about the world in the brain database became more and more complete, and some things that could not be analyzed before gradually had clues and clues. Answer.
