The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"Not quite right?" After Leo finished constructing the internal structure diagram of the entire water drop spaceship in his brain, he immediately discovered something that was contrary to what he knew.

Although he has never seen a water drop spacecraft, and his understanding of the water drop spacecraft is only some public information, and he basically knows nothing about its core technology, but some key technologies on the water drop spacecraft are also common to other spacecraft , the general situation of the internal structure of the water droplet spacecraft can be deduced reversely through the data of other spacecraft.

For example, the shock-absorbing module that is crucial to the water-drop spacecraft, which is the core technology inside the water-drop spacecraft, should be very different from the shock-absorbing module of a normal spacecraft, but in the internal structure diagram formed by Leo after scanning through the spirit network , but he did not find this shock absorbing module, only found some shock absorbing devices on the outer wall, but these shock absorbing devices are just some conventional shock absorbing devices, and they are not complete.

In addition, the water drop spacecraft is a resource exploration spacecraft, and its collection and analysis modules are definitely the best equipment that the Earth Federation can produce at that time, but now he has not found any related equipment from the spacecraft.

The entire water drop ship seems to have only one shell left, and the interior has been completely remodeled, and the remodeled water drop ship is even more incomprehensible, because in addition to the original energy engine, more than a dozen conventional energy engines have been added inside the ship. The energy engine device of the spacecraft, so many engine devices can not only provide energy for a water drop spacecraft, even the migratory spacecraft transformed from small stars cannot use so many energy engines.

What's even weirder is that apart from these energy engines and related consoles, there is no other redundant equipment inside the spaceship. All the rooms and compartments in the spaceship are empty, as if they have just been built and have not had time to install them. like other devices.

In addition, there are no traces of human life in the spaceship, and all places have been cleaned up by the spaceship's cleaning system. There are no sundries, and there are no items that should be in human life, and there is no food storage. Signs, the overall feeling is as if no one has entered here except Leo.

"Did no one come in?" Leo couldn't help muttering with a puzzled look on his face after repeatedly and meticulously checking the internal structure diagram of the spaceship.

The reason why he made such a judgment was not only because there were no traces of human life inside the spaceship, but also because the outer walls of the spaceship were all closed, with no entrances and exits connected to the outside world, and there was no space transmission device inside. According to the normal way, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter this spaceship, unless they have precise positioning anchor points like Leo, and can not be affected by spaceship interference devices, and open up space cracks.

Although the interior of the water drop spacecraft revealed a bit of weirdness, Leo did not flinch from it, but quickly located the energy engine at the center of the spacecraft, and then found a direct route to get there, then set off to the interior of the spacecraft, It's just that before leaving, he still arranged a lot of protective rune magic circles on himself, so that he could calmly deal with unexpected situations like before.

The route Leo chose did not take the maintenance channel, but after passing through a short maintenance channel, he entered the normal aisle of the spaceship from an entrance, and then he continued to move forward while using various methods to check the surrounding situation , but the result is still as he guessed before, there is no trace of human activities here.

You must know that the cleaning device of the spacecraft itself may be able to clean up the dust that may appear inside the spacecraft, but it cannot completely remove the pheromones left by creatures in the air. As long as there are creatures that have lived here, there will be pheromones left Come down, and in this fully enclosed environment, it can survive for a long time.

Whether Leo used psionic skills or some functional modules of the general-purpose recorder, he did not capture any traces of pheromone in the air inside the spacecraft.

It's just that he didn't find nothing after repeatedly checking with various methods and tools. Although he didn't capture the pheromone unique to living things, he found that compared with the maintenance channel, the trace amount of pheromone in the official channel inside the spacecraft The energy radiation was significantly higher by one section, and the energy radiation data was still fluctuating, as if there were one or more active energy sources constantly moving around him.

Leo tried to use the Real Eye to check the surrounding situation with the recorded energy radiation data, but he found nothing, which made him doubt whether the energy radiation data contained special meaning as he thought .

The part of the dropship that is exposed at the bottom of the lava lake is about the same size as the foundation of Belmont Castle, which is less than one-fifth of the overall size of the dropship, and the interior of the dropship can accommodate almost two people. Belmont Castle, the Belmont Castle here refers to the complete form including subspace plane fragments.

Because he needs to walk around while checking the surrounding situation, Leo's speed is not very fast. It took about half an hour to reach the energy engine room in the center of the spaceship.

After entering the engine room, Leo walked twice around the huge energy engine in front of him, which was not much different from a conventional spacecraft engine, and then walked to the awkward-looking console under the engine, and connected the universal recorder interface and The spaceship console is connected.

I don't know if this console was originally designed like this, or if later users felt that there was no need to add any security measures to this console, so Leo's universal recorder easily entered the console's main control database. retrieved the energy output data recorded in it.

However, after consulting these tedious but repetitive energy output data, he felt a little doubt in his heart.

The energy engine of the water droplet spacecraft is not responsible for the energy output required for the propulsion of the spacecraft like the spacecraft engine. According to common sense, about 90% of the energy output by the energy engine of the water droplet spacecraft will be output to the shock absorption module, and only 10% is used for Other spaceship equipment.

Now the shock absorbing module has been reduced to the outermost conventional shock absorbing device, and the core shock absorbing equipment of the water drop spacecraft does not exist. It stands to reason that the energy output by the energy engine should be greatly reduced, even less than the normal energy output. Half is right.

But the data read by Leo proves that this guess is wrong. The energy engine in front of him is still maintaining a normal energy output, and what is even more weird is that the output method is not output to a certain device through the energy conduit, but instead It is like some kind of resonance energy conduction, directly outputting energy to everything around in the form of radiation, even at this moment.

But this is also the weirdest part, because if you follow this high-intensity radioactive energy output method, not to mention other areas, just the engine room should already be filled with high-energy particles, and these high-energy particles can even directly form In that case, the construction materials of these cabins inside the spaceship are absolutely unable to withstand the high temperature of the energy furnace, and have already melted into molten metal.

But now, Leo didn't find any abnormal energy particles in the surrounding air, nor did he find any too abnormal energy radiation, and this paradoxical situation combined with the previously discovered abnormal radiation fluctuations made his A bold guess could not help but emerge in his mind, that is, there are some existences in the surrounding air that he cannot see, these existences live in a certain form of energy, and to maintain this way of living needs to absorb a large amount of energy. radioactive energy particles.

That is to say, the energy particles released from the energy engine are immediately absorbed by these invisible existences the moment they leave the engine generator.

At the moment when the guess was made, Leo suddenly felt that the energy fluctuations in the air around him became much stronger. This was not his illusion, because the energy readings on the general-purpose recorder also increased rapidly. A light man made of pure energy appeared beside him, and the light around this light man quickly restrained and stabilized, finally turning this light man into a transparent man with human facial features.

"Survivor, you are smarter than we expected to discover the mystery of our existence so quickly." The transparent light man did not show any hostility, but like an old friend who has known each other for many years, he used a very pure Earth Federation General In a few words, he said to Leo: "Long time no see, survivor."

"Long time no see?" Although Leo could feel that the transparent light body had enough powerful energy, he didn't feel defensive and vigilant because of it. There is no discomfort in the slightly intimate way of the transparent light man, but this feeling will not affect his normal thinking and judgment. He still has some doubts and asks: "Have we met before?"

"Yes, we have met before." The transparent light man nodded, and added: "And we have been together for a long time."

"Impossible." Leo responded decisively: "I have never in my memory..."

Before Leo could finish speaking, the man of transparent light interrupted him and asked, "Yes, you do not have the memory of getting along with us in your current memory, but what about your past memory?"

"Memories from the past?" Leo showed doubts again.

"It seems that you don't remember your origin," the transparent light man also showed a puzzled expression, and said: "As usual, you have become a high-level psychic, and the past memories should be awakened layer by layer. Yes, and you found us again as agreed, isn't this your memory recovery..."

Leo also interrupted the other party's words, and said: "I don't know what memory recovery you are talking about. The reason why I came here is just a coincidence." Then, he said in a deep voice: "It seems We have some misunderstanding, and your Excellency knows a lot about me, I think we should have a good talk."

The man of transparent light was silent for a while, nodded, and said: "Yes, we should have a good talk. Something may have gone wrong. I hope it won't be the worst." After speaking, he turned and walked outside Go, and at the same time say: "This is not a place to talk, come with us."

Leo didn't think too much when he heard the words, and followed up, walking side by side with the transparent light man, and couldn't help asking on the road: "Why do you call yourself the plural of us?"

The man of transparent light replied: "We are us, we are a group, and we are also one."

"Symbiosis?" The other party's explanation made Leo immediately think of the symbiosis.

The transparent light man didn't respond, as if he acquiesced to Leo's guess.

After passing through a main passage, the transparent light man opened a hidden door and entered the room behind the door. Leo stayed at the door for a while, but followed in.

The reason why Leo stayed for a while was because he didn't find this room when he scanned the entire interior of the water drop spaceship through the mental network before. In his structure diagram, this area is blank, and there are several similar blanks.

The decoration and furnishings of this room are completely different from the interior of the spaceship. It feels like a study in a manor house. Not only does it have a fireplace, but it can also see the lake and mountains behind a wall.

"Shards of the subspace plane." Leo quickly understood the situation here, and looked at the transparent light man who was rapidly transforming.

I saw that after the transparent light man entered the room, the whole person began to change from imaginary to real, and gradually turned into a normal middle-aged human form with a mustache.

"Sorry! Let me put on some clothes, you can do whatever you want." After the transformation was completely completed, the other party gestured to Leo, then took the clothes on the table and walked to the changing room beside him.

Leo didn't follow the other party's suggestion to find a place to sit down, but walked to the side bookcase, randomly pulled out a book and flipped through it. This book is not from any country in the world, nor is it Books from various countries in the world of Velen, but books written in a familiar-looking cuneiform script.

Leo thought about it carefully in his memory, and found that this kind of writing was somewhat similar to the cuneiform writing used by an ancient civilization in the Old Earth Era.

"That's the text of the Bo civilization," Guangren quickly put on his clothes and walked out of the changing room. After seeing the book Leo was holding, he introduced: "It is said that they once formed the civilization of the earth." They have been to the earth before and indirectly affected the development of the earth civilization. They were also punished by the supreme council of the universe for this incident, and they were never allowed to have any contact with the earth civilization, and the supreme council also blocked the earth federation from contacting this civilization. Any channel, so the Earth Federation has almost no understanding of this civilization." Then, he looked at Leo thoughtfully again, and said: "When you first came here, you also took this book Book."
