The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

There are different restricted restricted areas in Lanxi City. Some of these restricted areas can only be entered by locals, and some must have a bachelor's status to enter, so having a bachelor's status can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Originally, Leo thought it would be very difficult to obtain a bachelor's qualification in Lanxi City, but from the bulletin board of the grocery store, he found that obtaining a senior bachelor's status is indeed a bit troublesome and will take a lot of time, but obtaining a general bachelor's status is very simple. It is enough to take the certificate exam held by the Bachelor's Association, and the latest exam is two ticks away, that is, one day after Vinylon World.

However, on the bulletin board, the test items and types were not written. For this reason, Leo asked the clerk of the grocery store, and learned from the clerk that the content of the exam was pharmacy. After the exam, I also spared no effort to sell materials and books related to the academic examination in the grocery store.

Leo and Silvia flipped through it casually, and found that these books are very basic, almost all of them are common sense content. According to the clerk, the first-level study certificate only needs to memorize the contents of these basic books by rote. Basically all can pass.

If you want to obtain a second-level academic certificate, you need to use the first-level academic certificate to go to a nearby library to borrow specialized books.

Under the introduction of the clerk, Leo bought all the basic books and other types of books in the store. In addition, Leo also found a large number of Black Forest species that he had never seen before in the grocery store. He also bought them selectively. down.

For this small grocery store, Leo's crazy shopping is definitely the biggest transaction since they opened the store, which alarmed the owner of the grocery store, and hurried down from upstairs to greet Leo and the others in person.

"If you need other books and collections from the Black Forest, I can also find them for you?" After the shopkeeper ordered the clerk to deliver the things to the hotel where Leo lived, the shopkeeper whispered very carefully.

"Other books and collections?" Leo looked thoughtfully at the owner of the grocery store.

"Yes, very precious books and collections!" the owner of the grocery store emphasized.

Obviously, the precious books and collections mentioned by the owner of the grocery store are items restricted by the laws of Lanxi City, but these items should not be particularly serious forbidden items, and even if they are found, there will be no major problems. Otherwise, the grocery store owner would never offer these items to a new customer he just met.

In this regard, Leo did not reject the recommendation of the grocery store owner, but asked the grocery store owner to get as many books and collections as possible in the past two days, and also emphasized that the "precious" books and collections were not necessarily needed. Collected items, as long as they are books and collected items that he has not bought from the store this time, can be sent to him.

Hearing Leo's words, the owner of the grocery store was naturally overjoyed. He could already foresee how much he could earn from this sale, so when Leo and Sylvia left his shop, he immediately went to find someone he knew. All suppliers collect all kinds of books and Black Forest collections for Leo.

Although they had already bought a lot of things, Leo and Sylvia didn't intend to just go back to the hotel. Instead, they continued to stroll around the public city, learning about the situation of Lanxi City and the situation of the Black Forest at the same time.

If it hadn't been for entering the domain of the Mother of Filth this time, Leo and Sylvia would not have known that there are so many intelligent races and city-state civilizations with so many different systems in the Black Forest. In their understanding of the Black Forest, the Black Forest The forest is just a primeval forest that inhabits ancient species and contains mysterious power.

Leo was not too surprised by the existence of a large number of civilizations in the Black Forest. After all, he had seen countless civilizations and intelligent races, so he only responded to the situation in the Black Forest with an ordinary inquiring mentality. Sylvia was extremely excited and curious about everything here, especially when she saw those various humanoid and non-human intelligent races, they all showed very obvious strange eyes, which made those races being looked at a little unhappy And annoyed, nearly clashed several times.

But it's just almost there. Although Leo and Sylvia deliberately restrained their strength, their higher form of life characteristics can't be restrained just because they want to.

Although these intelligent races of the Black Forest have lived in an environment full of various mysterious energies like the Black Forest for a long time, their life forms have naturally evolved. There is still a big gap between Sylvia and Sylvia. Under the pressure of life forms, they all instinctively retreated and avoided.

Because of their identities, Leo and Sylvia only walked one side of the public area on the 30th floor below. As for the 30th floor in the middle, they need to find a guarantor or stay in Lanxi for four full moons before they can enter. .

In this regard, Leo and Sylvia are not in a hurry, as long as they pass the first-level study certificate, these areas will no longer restrict them.

After the two finished their visit, they returned to the hotel. The clerk at the grocery store had already delivered all the things they bought to the room they rented. Fortunately, the room Leo chose was the largest room among all the rooms in the hotel. Although there are many things, they only occupy a small corner of the room.

After returning to the room, Sylvia couldn't wait to pick up a book and flip through it. Although the language on it is a variant of the ancient French that is similar to the second dynasty of France, it is very different from the current French. There is a big difference, but Sylvia has also studied Old French and the language of the Second Dynasty. At the beginning, she may have some difficulties reading the content of this book, but she soon found the language rules , almost already able to read at normal reading speed.

While Sylvia was reading, Leo began to pack the collections from the Black Forest that he bought from the grocery store.

His cleaning method is very simple. He directly feels whether there are energy fluctuations in these items. Those collected items with energy fluctuations will be kept by him. As for other items, they will be treated as garbage and let the hotel waiters clean them up. And these items that he regarded as garbage were a huge windfall for the waiter who helped him clean up the items.

Among the items left by Leo, apart from the herbs that contain energy fluctuations, there are only four sundries that contain strong energy fluctuations, but it is not right to say four items, more correctly, it is a set Four of the items.

These four items are four metal cards, and each card is engraved with very complicated patterns. In these complex patterns, Leo saw a little shadow of the wizard's tower, but it was just a little shadow.

Leo is not very clear about the function of the four metal cards, but he can be sure that the four metal cards should be a strange thing that can be used, and the method is to inject energy and activate the patterns on the cards.

Although he has a preliminary understanding of how to use them, Leo has no intention of trying to activate these metal cards, because he still doesn't know what kind of power is contained in these four metal cards, whether this power is dangerous, and the four metal cards. The answer to a series of questions such as whether a metal card can only be used once, or can it be used repeatedly.

Compared with the power contained in the metal cards, he was more curious about the craftsmanship of making the metal cards, because he could see that these four metal cards were all made of Aberron metal.

In Leo's memory, Aberron metal is one of the strongest, toughest, and most wear-resistant metals in the universe. This metal is often used to make the protective shell of the subspace engine. Seven times the core temperature of the star, that is, a high temperature of nearly 100 million degrees, will melt.

The method to distinguish Abelian metal is very simple, that is, when the light shines on the metal, the metal surface will have a very obvious light absorption effect, and it is even so obvious that the light is distorted on the metal surface.

The ability to process Aberron metals has always been regarded as one of the necessary conditions for cosmic civilizations to advance to higher civilizations. Most advanced civilizations have only mastered part of the processing technology, and the cosmic civilizations that have mastered a full set of processing technology can be said to be few It can be counted, even the Earth Federation does not have the processing technology for this kind of metal.

However, the metal with such a high processing technology has been made into a palm-sized card at this moment, and the processing technology contained in it is absolutely top-notch in the universe civilization.

"Could it be that I read it wrong?" Because of this, Leo couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his judgment on this metal card. In fact, this metal is just like Aberron metal.

In doubt, Leo lit the fireplace in the room, and when the flame in the stove was burning vigorously, he threw a metal card in his hand into the fire.

Not to mention a piece of special metal with a resistance to high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees, even ordinary metals are difficult to melt in a furnace of this temperature, but what Leo wants to test is not whether the flame can melt the metal card, Instead, test the card's effect on the flame.

I saw that Leo suddenly raised his hand and stretched his palm into the flame of the stove.

"Leo, what are you doing? Are you crazy?" Sylvia, who was reading a book, also noticed Leo's actions, and immediately let out a scream, then dropped the book in her hand, and rushed over to grab Leo arm, trying to pull Leo's hand out of the flames.

"Don't be nervous, I'm fine." Leo raised his hand to stop Sylvia, then let his palm go back and forth in the fire a few times, and then put his hand in front of Sylvia.

I saw that not only was Leo's palm missing, but even the fine hair on his palm hadn't been burned off.

"What's going on?" Sylvia looked at Leo with some puzzlement. At first she thought that Leo had attached a layer of extraordinary power to the surface of his palm to isolate the flames, but then she thought about what Leo had just done. behavior, and felt that Leo should not have used any extraordinary power.

"You try too." At this moment, Leo gestured like a flame in front of his eyes, and said to Sylvia.

Sylvia hesitated for a moment when she heard this, but she still had her trust in Leo, and without any protection, she put her hand into the flame.

"This? What's the matter with this flame?" Sylvia felt something strange immediately after putting her hand completely into the flame, and watched her hand swinging back and forth in the blazing flame with a look of surprise.

At this moment, not only did she not feel the temperature that the flame should have when the flame burned her palm, but she felt a chilly feeling, like putting her hand on ice.

Leo did not answer Sylvia's doubts, but looked at the Aberron metal sheet burning in the fire. At this moment, he was sure that it was Aberron metal, because in addition to the light-absorbing properties, the conversion of heat energy is also One of the properties of this metal.

The conversion of thermal energy by Aberron Metal does not convert thermal energy into other energy like other thermal energy conversion devices. This characteristic has not changed, just like the flame cannot burn a person's hand now, but it can still burn wood.

Until the moment of Leo's death, the principle in the universe about the contradictory effect of thermal energy conversion of Aberonic metal has not been solved yet.

Now such a kind of processing technology is still at the top of the cosmic civilization, but the special metal has been made into this kind of strange thing that contains mysterious power. This undoubtedly shows that a certain civilization in the Black Forest has mastered a mysterious processing technology. , if this news spreads to the universe, it will definitely cause a lot of fluctuations.

"Is it because of this piece of metal?" Sylvia quickly discovered the problem, picked up the piece of metal card from the fire, and then tried to put her hand close to the flame, and immediately felt the change in the temperature of the flame .

"Yes." Leo nodded, and then gave Sylvia a detailed introduction to this metal, which made Sylvia stunned.

"How high is the temperature of 100 million degrees?" Sylvia asked, imitating the word 100 million degrees in the language of the Earth Federation somewhat bluntly.

Leo thought for a while, pointed to the flame in the fireplace, and said, "This flame is about one or two hundred degrees, and 100 million degrees is almost a million times the temperature of this flame."

Although Leo made a comparative description, Sylvia's common sense concept still couldn't understand this 100 million degrees.

So, Leo made a more appropriate description, saying: "If a flame of 100 million degrees appears in Vinylon, the entire Vinylon world will be burned to scorched earth in an instant, and the center point will even be gasified."

Sylvia took a deep breath. Although she had never seen the scene Leo mentioned, she had seen the volcano erupting until the scorched earth looked like, and the scene Leo described soon appeared in her mind. scene.

After she calmed down, she couldn't help but look at the metal piece in her hand, and couldn't help but ask: "It takes such a high temperature to process this kind of metal, so how is this metal piece made?"

Leo smiled and said, "I want to know too."
