The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After hearing Leo's response, all the people present looked at Leo in shock, and many people also looked suspiciously in their eyes.

Only, Sylvia believed Leo's words completely, and asked curiously before the others recovered, "What the hell is this thing?"

Leo replied flatly: "Toys. Children's toys developed by Moss people."

This answer instantly made everyone laugh. They couldn't understand Leo's name for the alien technological civilization Moss in the language of the Earth Federation, but they could understand the word "toy" that Leo said in Teresa .

In their view, how could an object so magical and great that even gods could not create it, a relic of prehistoric civilization that countless people in the entire academy could not decipher even after spending countless hours, be a toy for children? Seeing a rich man dressed in gold and silver is as absurd as a beggar.

However, even though he was laughed at by everyone around him, Leo did not intend to explain further, because in his opinion, it is very complicated to explain his understanding of this thing in Teresa, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words , and the people around will definitely have many special terms that they cannot understand, and when the time comes to explain those terms, the whole process will be very troublesome.

In the universe, there are a total of seven alien races that use the specific pronunciation of Moss as the name of their own race, but only one Moss is a medium-level cosmic civilization whose technological level is close to that of an advanced civilization. It is a low-level civilization that has just realized the technology of inter-galaxy navigation. Therefore, once no galaxy name prefix is ​​added to call the Morse civilization in the universe, it refers to the Morse civilization of a medium-tech civilization.

The Moss are huge, like giants compared to the people on Earth. Even the largest road animal, an elephant, is like a kitten in front of an adult Moss.

In the civilization of the Moss, the cube is very sacred. They believe that the cube contains all the mysteries of the universe. They worship and love the cube very much. Almost all the creations of the Moss will be in the shape of a perfect cube, even spaceships. in this way.

When the Moss were still young children, their elders would use a very special energy metal on their planet to create a perfect cube, play with the Moss, and let them study this perfect cube through all the knowledge they have learned. Cube, until its adulthood, so this perfect cube is also the only toy and the only school supplies for Morse children.

Leo is not surprised that this toy belonging to Moss children will appear here, because the perfect cube used by Moss children will be discarded after they grow up, and some people who have contact with Moss people Some cosmic civilizations will buy these things, and then resell them to some emerging cosmic civilizations that have just entered the universe and are still in a state of ignorance.

Because the perfection of this cube creation has almost reached the acme of the technology of medium-sized cosmic civilizations, those rural civilizations who have not yet come into contact with higher civilizations will feel extremely magical about this kind of thing, and even produce an inexplicable feeling. The emotion of worship is the same as the people in this black room now.

Moreover, because the material used for this perfect cube is a very special energy metal, although its energy intensity is not particularly strong, its energy depletion period lasts as long as one billion. Civilization has never touched.

Therefore, those low-level cosmic civilizations often buy this perfect cube at an extraordinary price. This price is often calculated in galaxies. For example, the Earth Federation used four to complete the initial development, and all the infrastructure has been laid. colonized the galaxy and bought ten of these perfect cubes.

Without exception, any low-level cosmic civilization that bought this perfect cube with a lot of money will eventually end up with regret, because when they have the ability to get in touch with higher-level cosmic civilizations, they will find that the value of this perfect cube is not even as good as An ordinary planetary fighter.

Although this perfect cube caused the Earth Federation to experience an extremely huge non-war loss, and made the Earth Federation government a synonym for fools in various jokes for a long time, the people of the Earth Federation did not dislike this perfect cube. Because of its stable energy source and low price, many alien colonies of the Earth Federation will purchase some of these perfect cubes as a source of life energy for the colonies.

Although the energy intensity of this perfect cube cannot drive some too powerful energy weapons, it is enough to provide stable energy output to the living area and charge some low-level energy weapons, so as long as it is an alien colony of the Earth Federation The settlements can basically see such a perfect cube.

In fact, before entering the black house, Leo had already vaguely guessed that there must be a perfect cube inside the black house, because the rumors about the strange scene of the black house made him directly think of the colonial settlements’ two ties to the perfect cube. Instructions.

For example, the giant of light, which is regarded as imprisoned by the gods, is actually just a recorded projection. On the colonial planet, the environment is very harsh, and some energy storms often occur, and the biggest problem caused by the energy storm is that it will make the colony point If the contact between them is interrupted, they don't know each other's situation, and they cannot take rescue and other actions in time.

So people with colonial settlements invented a device through which they can input their images into the perfect cube when the energy storm cuts off the communication, and then pass through the energy particles that must occur every once in a while in the perfect cube The eruption effect projects the image into the air, allowing other settlements hundreds of miles away to see it, so as to transmit information and understand the situation through image sign language.

As for the kind of black hole that swallows light, it is an energy wave absorption function, and its function is to prevent the scanning waves launched by space pirate ships in space.

For a long time, the colonial galaxies of the Earth Federation, especially the colonial galaxies near the edge of the Earth Federation's star field, will be attacked by various space pirates. At that time, it was difficult for the Earth Federation to carry out effective defense. The colonial galaxy can only rely on its own strength to resist the attack. The best situation is to drag the space pirates to the arrival of the Earth Federation fleet and annihilate them, and the worst situation is to destroy the colony galaxy when the Earth Federation fleet arrives. It has been looted by space pirates.

In this case, the residents of the settlements on the colonial star could only hide themselves and wait for the war to pass, so the people in the settlements took advantage of the property that the perfect cube can absorb light wave particles to create a light wave black hole, allowing themselves to Space Pirates are invisible in their scanners.

For space pirates, it takes a lot of time and energy for each spaceship to land and leave the planet's gravity. Unless they find something worth looting, otherwise, they seldom land directly on the ground to rob, and most of them will rob outer space space transfer station.

Therefore, through this protection, the colonial settlements on the ground can often escape the plunder of space pirates.

The reason why Leo is so familiar with this perfect cube is because the method of using the perfect cube is still very practical even in Leo's time. There are many such perfect cubes on almost all the Earth Federation settled planets. Like common living facilities such as toilets, in this case Leo naturally would not have any mood swings towards this perfect cube.

Because other people around didn't believe Leo's so-called toy theory, thinking that he was just joking or sensationalizing, so everyone's attention was no longer on Leo, but Sylvia and Queen Teresa were almost the same His appearance became the center of everyone's attention, and many people showed curious expressions, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

Dean Thomas on the side immediately took the initiative to introduce Sylvia's identity, but he may have been instructed by Queen Teresa to add the identity of Teresa's royal family in the introduction. As for whether the two are twin sisters Such doubts did not continue.

On the contrary, when introducing Leo, he emphasized his tone, explained in detail Leo's deeds in the school city for more than a month, and used the results of the research projects that Leo had completed and was completing to prove that Leo Ou's excellence, using almost explicit hints to remind everyone that they can ask Leo about the research difficulties they encountered.

However, Dean Thomas obviously underestimated the self-esteem of the scholars present. Each of them is a leader in their respective disciplines. Being selected to participate in the research of the Black House itself proves that they are the best ones in the city. The boss asked them to ask a newcomer about the difficulties of the research project, which undoubtedly accused them of lack of ability, which made their self-esteem unacceptable anyway.

So after Dean Thomas introduced Leo, the inquiry he was expecting did not appear. All scholars stopped looking at Leo and returned to the original research state. The scholars who saw the ceremony all turned around and returned to their research area, ignoring Leo and the others.

Dean Thomas didn't understand what he did wrong, and his face was a little dazed. On the contrary, Queen Teresa and Duke Belmont looked at the dean of the outer court personally selected by the former king with strange eyes, feeling that Was the previous king's choice wrong?

Leo doesn't care about other people's attitudes. On the contrary, he is more happy to see the current situation. No one bothers him, and he can do what he wants. For example, like now, he came to a similar console place.

Most of the so-called prehistoric civilization relics in the black room were moved from other places. For example, the perfect cube should have been transported and stored from other places.

Except for the perfect cube, all the items are various devices made by the Earth Federation, including living things and weapons.

In addition, some of these items were not moved, but were originally on this land. That is to say, there was once a relic left by the colonists of the Earth Federation on the top of the hill where the Fifth District of the Academic City was located. The house was built from the remains of the ruins.

For example, the operating table that Leo is checking now is one of the relics of the original site, and he can also guess the relic from the function of this operating table, the supporting devices around it, and some things in the rumors of the black house. It was likely to be a prison at first, because the console in front of Leo was a mind control device used by the Earth Federation Colonial Planet administrative agency to reform prisoners in the early days.

Because the composition of the early colonial development fleet was very complex, except for some ordinary people who voluntarily participated in alien development, such as the poor, bankrupts, and adventurers, most of the members were criminals, and they were serious criminals. They wanted to reduce their sentences , and in order to leave the oppressive prison, he will choose to join the pioneering fleet and go to the colony planet for reclamation.

Because they are far away from the civilization center of the Earth Federation, the emotions of ordinary people will be easily influenced by the outside world. Although those criminals cannot do anything illegal because of the restraint device, they can arouse the emotions of ordinary people and make those ordinary people A little bit of it is brought into their criminal thinking, so those colonial stars, especially the frontier colonial stars, are often full of crimes, so prisons have become the most important infrastructure of all colonial stars.

However, in the eyes of the colonial star government, the population is very precious, so as long as they are not serious criminals, they will not be imprisoned in prison. Even if they are serious criminals, they will rarely be sentenced to death. Criminals who seriously damage or commit homicide will be sentenced to death.

Those criminals who were imprisoned and not sentenced to death had to accept the prison's mind control device to clean their memory and reshape their personality before they could be released after serving their sentence, which was said by the people of the colonial planet at that time It's called spiritual castration.

However, due to the later social public opinion, and the development of the colonial star has entered the later stage, the infrastructure has been completed, and the social structure in the later stage has been consolidated, the Earth Federation Government no longer needs to castrate criminals mentally, and the population is no longer as it was at the beginning. The pioneering period was so precious, so all such prisons were abandoned.

However, that kind of mind control device did not withdraw from the stage of history. On the contrary, it was misappropriated by the Earth Federation Government to other places. Among them is the production factory of biochemical people. Any new biochemical man must accept the mind control device. Personality remodeling, allowing the biochemical to obtain the mental state of a mature warrior in a short period of time.

Leo accepted this kind of personality reshaping back then, but he not only obtained the mental state of a mature warrior, but also obtained other things that are still unclear. The reason for being different, even now he suspects that everything that happened to him stemmed from that personality remodeling.

So, when he saw this familiar mind control device again, he was immediately attracted by it.
