The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In front of Leo's eyes, metal cans that looked familiar were neatly arranged in a staggered manner, divided into three layers from the bottom to the top. Although each layer was separated by a thick metal mesh, the mesh-like gap It is still possible for people on each floor to see the situation of the upper and lower floors.

The reason why Leo said that the scene here is very familiar is mainly because the cyborg workshop where he was produced back then was full of rows of cultivation cabins as it is now, and everything in front of him is like the cyborg manufacturing space in the steam age. It brought back a lot of bad memories for him.

"Your task is very simple. You are usually here. If someone knocks on the door, go and see who it is. Check the access list on the door. If there is a record on the access list, let them in. If there is no record, let them in." Don't let them in." The optician led Leo to a small room next to the door, pointed to a form hanging on the door, and then pointed to a mechanical watch next to him, saying: " If the mechanical watch starts to tell the time, you need to go out and check it. You are mainly responsible for the container on the first floor, mainly to see if the container is damaged. Once you find any damage, immediately pull the lever next to the container. Do you understand your duty now?"

"Understood." Leo nodded.

The doctor took off the glasses, wiped them, and said, "If you have any questions, just ask them now, and I can answer them. I'm going to conduct experiments later, and I won't care about these things anymore."

"Am I only responsible for this layer? What about the top?" Leo asked.

The doctor said clearly: "You are only in charge of this layer. There are other people in charge of it, and you can't go up. If you go up, the consequences will be equivalent to breaking the strictest prohibition rules of your department."

Leo asked, "What if something happens above?"

The doctor said very seriously: "Even if something happens to the top, or even it is destroyed, you can't go up."

Leo asked again: "Do I have to stay here all the time? When is the rest time?"

"You will check about three times a day, and someone will take over your work at that time. At that time, you can go back to your room to rest." The doctor paused again, and said, "I don't know if your department assigns this task to you. Did you clarify the situation when you were here? From today, you will have to stay here and not leave for the next ten years. After ten years, the empire will grant you a corresponding noble seat according to your work situation."

Hearing what the doctor said, Leo was slightly stunned, not because he felt harsh because he had to stay in this place for ten years, but because he would be awarded a noble seat after the work was over. According to the current rarity of the nobles in the empire, the nobles The value of the seat can be said to be extraordinary, let alone ten years, even if it is twenty years, I am afraid that someone will be willing.

It's just that since the empire offers such excellent conditions, it means that this kind of mission is very dangerous, and life may be lost at any time, otherwise, there will definitely be a flood of nobles in the future.

The doctor obviously didn't think too much, and continued: "But you don't have to worry about being bored here. There are many magical things here that are impossible to appear outside in a few hundred years. You will see and even experience it yourself in the future. You It is your luck to be here, cherish it!"

Leo turned his head to look at the small guard room, and asked, "Where is my weapon? In case of an emergency, I should have a weapon to use, right?"

"By the way! I forgot your weapon." The doctor said, walked into the house, then motioned for Leo to go over, pointed to a button on the wall, and said: "This is the switch button of the weapon rack, you just need to press one time……"

While talking, the doctor stretched out his hand and pressed the button, and heard a mechanical sound from the surrounding walls, and then the metal plate on one side of the wall was lifted up quickly, and a weapon rack full of various weapons appeared on the Lei In front of Ou.

This weapon rack is not so much a practical weapon rack as it is a showcase of ancient and modern cold weapons. I saw that the weapons in the hidden compartment on the wall are all cold weapons, even the practical flails of the early church knights. The only thing that could be considered a long-range weapon was a military repeating crossbow, and it was a single-shot mechanical repeating crossbow.

The doctor pointed to the weapon rack and said: "You can use these weapons, try slowly, you will have time to get used to these weapons." After saying that, he retreated to the back of the room and said: "If you have any If you have a problem, you can ring the bell next to it, and someone will come to solve the problem for you. However, if it’s not a particularly important problem, don’t touch that thing, after all, people here are very busy.”

After speaking, without waiting for Leo to respond whether there is no problem, he turned around and walked quickly towards the laboratory, and soon his figure disappeared into the rows of jars.

Obviously, he felt that it was unreasonable to use this kind of cold weapon for the guards here, and he felt that Leo would be annoyed by it. In order to prevent himself from becoming the target of the other party's anger, he left quickly.

However, he didn't know that Leo didn't think these cold weapons were useless at all. In fact, the people who were selected and assigned to be guards here were all mutants whose physical strength was different from ordinary people. In other words, if there is an accident, cold weapons may be more convenient than weapons such as steam crossbows.

Leo walked up to the weapon rack, picked up a battle ax from an early mountain warrior of the Maris Kingdom, and swung it twice. He found that the workmanship of this battle ax was very fine. Some special metals are used to keep the tomahawk sharp while reducing the weight a lot.

However, this also proves that the person who made this tomahawk is obviously not a real cold weapon blacksmith, because the power of the tomahawk is reflected in its weight. When using it, the weight of the tomahawk itself drives the user's body to make various Attack quickly, but now that the weight is reduced, the power of the battle ax will naturally be greatly reduced. Instead of using this battle ax, it is better to use a sharper, faster-swinging long straight sword.

Leo picked out a few more weapons and looked at them, and found that all the weapons were the same. Although the workmanship was exquisite and the materials were solid, the details such as the weight of the weapons, the length of the handle, etc., were contrary to the way the weapons themselves were used.

After putting the weapon back on the shelf, Leo did not hide the weapon shelf in the hidden compartment, but let it hang on the wall openly, then walked to the desk in the room and sat down, picked up a book next to the desk read up.

These data are not important experimental data, but some records of the work of the former guards. The content is very simple, such as when the new jar was delivered, when the old jar was sent away, when was the person received, etc. , From these contents, it is not difficult to see how boring things are here, and the former guard obviously does not know what is in these jars.

In the last of these records, the last record was incomplete. It should be about what happened in the middle of writing. He went to check after he left, and then never came back to finish writing this record.

However, several records before this record did provide a little information, for example, he heard some sounds coming from some jars, and some jars were shaking, but the locations of these jars that produced the noise were not in his charge. This layer, but on the top layer.

At this time, the mechanical clock on the wall suddenly rang. Seeing this, Leo casually picked up a most standard knight sword from the weapon rack on the wall, hung it on his waist, and walked out of the room to the area. Inside the tin can.

Although these iron pots have the same shape, they are different in size. The big iron pipes are about two or three people high, almost close to the top of this floor, but the small ones are very small, only half a person high.

When Leo walked past some jars, he deliberately pretended to check the jars, stretched out his hand and patted the jars inadvertently, and checked the conditions inside the jars through the vibration feedback of the power of blood.

As he felt before, these jars are all brewing tanks, which are filled with liquid. Some mutants whose bodies have undergone drastic mutations and have been completely dehumanized are all placed in these jars, and some of these mutants are still alive. Alive, but some are dead. And the bodies of those dead mutants are being dissolved by the liquid.

It is conceivable that when the bodies of these mutants are completely dissolved, the dissolved liquid will become a new preparation liquid and be reused.

This laboratory has a large area. A rough estimate shows that there are more than 700 such tin cans stored on the first floor. Counting the number of tin cans above, there should be more than 1,000 tin cans in the entire laboratory.

Although Leo didn't check it carefully, he could tell from the physical qualities of the mutants who were still alive that none of these mutants were naturally formed mutants, nor were they created by alien cells, but another An artificial mutant, just like that Colin.

However, judging from all signs, this manufacturing method is not very successful, and its uncontrollability should be its biggest flaw, but if the mutation tide in Miria City is caused by this method, then this method has some To some extent, it is considered a success.

Leo's inspection speed was not fast, but it didn't take long, and it took about tens of minutes to go down. After inspecting the iron cans, he deliberately walked past the row of experimental rooms on this floor.

Although these experimental rooms are all made of stone and the roof is covered, the floor is still a metal floor, which does not hinder the vibration feedback of the power of blood.

When Leo walked down in a circle, he already had a general understanding of the situation in the laboratory on this floor.

He has to say he's a little surprised by the trials that are going on here right now.

When he saw the man wearing glasses dressed as a doctor and the tin cans filled with special liquids around him, Leo thought that these people should use some kind of medical technology to conduct experiments, but after some investigation just now, he It was discovered that this was not the case at all. What the experimenters here were doing was to use wizard alchemy to extract special substances in some special mutant organs of these mutants.

Although at first glance, this is somewhat similar to medical refinement, in fact the two are very different. One is through equipment and rigorous science, and the other is through that unknown power.

The people doing the refining work in those rooms are not wizards, not even wizard apprentices, but they can push the Turing root on the refining tool.

Through the vibration feedback, Leo easily obtained the information of the Turing radicals on those tools. The content is not complicated. It is a Turing radical formed by superimposing three basic radicals. The single function is to refine.

According to what Leo knew from the wizard's notes, this kind of Turing root specially used to extract a certain substance is not a rare thing. The early tower wizards would take in many vassal villages, and they would choose some of them from those villages. Those who are talented will become wizard apprentices, and those who are not qualified will become the lowest-level helpers.

The main job of these helpers is to extract the mysterious power from the collected substances. Later, these helpers became the earliest pharmacists on Velen Continent. With the emergence of herbalism and pharmacy, there is a regular And the easier potion making process gradually replaced this unpredictable method of herbal medicine extraction, and eventually this extraction method passed on from wizards gradually disappeared.

Leo is not surprised to see this method reappearing and being used now. In fact, countries with a little ability can find this complete set of refined Turing radicals. What really surprises him is to promote The power of the root of Turing is not some supernatural power, but the electricity that is now rising in the world of Velen.

The electricity is not directly injected into the root of Turing, but is transmitted into a sealed box through wires, and then through the transformation of the box, another short-distance energy wave is formed, which is continuously emitted towards the root of Turing Radiation, finally, makes the Turing radical come into play.

And those dressed as doctors mainly manipulate a rudder-like adjustment device to control the intensity of the current introduced into the box through the light changes on the root of Turing, and then extract the desired substance.

It's just that, in Leo's view, this approach is purely a matter of chance, and it's pretty good to be able to successfully refine it once in a hundred times.

What Leo is most curious about now is actually the sealed box, because the metal plate of the Rockloth star used around the sealed box has a blocking effect on the power of blood, and also blocks the vibration, making it impossible for him to discover the secrets in the box .

Although Leo was very curious about the secret of energy transformation in the box, he was not in a hurry because he still had enough time to explore the secret inside.

After returning to the small room, he picked up a document again and looked through it. These documents are not important documents. They are all duty notes left by the former guards. The contents are similar, and only a few of them will mention some Special circumstances, and through these contents, he can also understand the situation here faster.
