Chapter 829: Technology of an unknown race
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the subordinates cheered up and also looked at the quiet town. From this distance, the town was already very close.
Under the bright sunlight, the small town ahead looked mottled, and many wooden structures had decayed and cracked.
Just like a lying giant full of holes, it seems to be silently telling a period of time in the past, adding a heavy sense of vicissitudes.
"My lord, in order to prevent unknown races from setting other traps in the town, let the three of you go explore first."
Together with Hong Ye and Jiang Li, Hu Zhang took a step forward, and saluted Lei Xiao by touching his chest.
"Alright, if you encounter a dangerous situation, you don't need to fight, just withdraw first."
Lei Xiao nodded to the three subordinates, and responded, "We don't know anything about this place, so be careful in everything."
The three of Hu Zhang took the command, and they disappeared in front of Lei Xiao in a blink of an eye.
During the process of Hu Zhang and others entering the town to explore, Lei Xiao was not idle, recalling a series of encounters when he entered the "Gate of Wandering", and at the same time began to examine the current situation.
Not long after, Lei Xiao discovered an expected but extremely troublesome thing.
That is my own words, private messages, and even chat channels, and I have temporarily disconnected from the outside world. The city return crystal and teleportation crystal are also in an unusable state.
"According to Sarah, you can only leave here if you find the corresponding Stone of God. It seems that it is so."
Lei Xiao looked at the unchanging bright sun above his head, and shook his head helplessly.
The silver-white corridor when we came here has long since disappeared, and this place is like an isolated island surrounded by a vast sea, without any way out.
When Lei Xiao thought of this, no one noticed.
In the corner of the outer wall of the small town, a small black figure flashed past, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a faint cloud of black air, which quickly merged into the air.
"My lord, I didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary town would have such an exquisite pressure detection barrier."
Ariel, who had twinkling golden magic wings, took a bird's-eye view in mid-air for a while, then landed back beside Lei Xiao, and said thoughtfully, "It's really a completely different path from mainstream magic."
"Compared to the various races that have been researched and improved only on the basis of the magic circle itself, this sensing device that combines the magic circle with the real thing is indeed very different."
Erza nodded thoughtfully, and echoed: "After exploring so many ancient ruins, I have never seen a race that uses magic circles so wonderfully."
After a pause, Ersha Xin moved her long sharp ears, and added: "But the magic circle on this pressure detection barrier is extremely simple, as long as it is detected by the opponent, it will be easily destroyed. Indisputable fact."
Hearing what the two said, Lei Xiao had already pictured the tip of the iceberg of this unknown race in his mind.
Compared with the vast majority of races that specialize in magic itself, the technology tree of this unknown race is obviously more inclined to the combination of magic and technology, which is indeed quite different.
Just as Lei Xiao thought of this, Ariel's crisp voice came again.
"Elusha is right. Thinking about it carefully, although this kind of pressure detection enchantment seems exquisite, it actually has many restrictions."
"For example, it can't cover the target area in all directions like other conventional detection barriers, and then discover unknown flying units, let alone cover every corner of the building."
Ariel looked at the few metal plates scattered on the ground not far away, and continued to frowned and muttered: "And this kind of pressure detection enchantment can't distinguish between the enemy and the enemy and adjust the effective range in time, so the limitation is very large. Woolen cloth."
"However, this special combination method created by this unknown race may play a positive role in promoting the combination of magic and technology that I am currently doing."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "The world I was in before was developed in a completely different direction from this place, so many basic theories and application methods that this world cannot imagine have been born, but the most lacking at present. The most important thing is integration and practice.
"And this unknown race obviously has a certain level of technology. For example, the pressure metal plate used in this special detection barrier belongs to the category of mechanics."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he continued: "Although I don't know the level of the other party's technology, it is undeniable that what I lack most now is time, and the research and development that will start soon is no exception."
"In this case, if we can get the assistance of this unknown race, the research and development will undoubtedly become smoother."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, all the subordinates nodded with half understanding.
Although the lord did not specifically mention the matters of the original world, the upcoming research that the lord organized by other lords from other worlds is very noble and easy to understand.
That is to combine the strengths of the two worlds, and then develop more powerful weapons and other means to benefit the people, triggering an unprecedented profound change in this world of swords and magic where there are thousands of races.
"Is it a race that can promote the lofty ideals of the lord?"
Ariel blinked her slender eyelashes, looked expectant, and murmured: "It really makes people wonder about the true face of this unknown race."
All the houses here are exactly alike, apparently built from the same architectural blueprint, and the material is the nearby woods.
"According to the previous report of Polygonum cuspidatum, traces of agricultural reclamation were found around the town, but they were unsuccessful."
"It's no wonder. According to Sarah, the types of plants in the "door" are fixed and cannot grow other plants. Perhaps this is also an obsession of the creator? "
"After all, no one would want the carefully crafted world to be changed by others at will."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, a group of fifteen people came to the door of the house in the center of the town under the guidance of Jiang Li.
What is puzzling is that although this wooden house does not have any signs of damage such as golem puppets soaring into the sky, it has already been cut off by more than half.
"My lord, the magic restriction is in this wooden house."
The burly Knotweed took a step forward, bowed to Lei Xiao and reported, "In order to prevent malicious institutions in the house, the three subordinates have turned it upside down."
"It turned out that you did it. The roof is gone, and indeed only the bottom is left. Good job."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and then walked into the wooden house with the lead of the knotweed.
When he came to the open-air bedroom of the wooden house, Lei Xiao found a metal door leading to the ground.
Judging from the square dust distribution, this was supposed to be the place where the wooden bed was originally placed, but the wooden bed was moved to the other side.
I saw the magic streamer flickering on the metal door, and the traces of magic prohibition could not be more obvious.
"How? Can it be opened?"
Lei Xiao looked at Jiang Li and Hong Ye, and asked with frowned eyebrows.
"Lord Hui, as you can see, this unknown race is not particularly good at magic. Although this magic restriction is at the fifth level, it is a breeze to open it."
Jiang Li first looked at Hong Ye and smiled, and then responded to Lei Xiao touching his chest: "As long as the lord gives an order, the subordinates will be able to open it immediately."
"Then open it."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, but the words just fell.
Jiang Li stretched out a slender finger and tapped lightly on the metal door.
Crash.
The familiar sound of breaking glass immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Sure enough, 'immediately'. "
Lei Xiao looked at the metal door that had completely lost its luster, and waved his hand to signal the knotweed to pull it open.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the sound of heavy metal rubbing, a dark stairway that went straight down appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"It's time to unravel the mystery of the unknown race."
Lei Xiao nodded to his subordinates, and then, under the illumination of Ariel's lighting ball, he and his subordinates entered the passage one after another.
Walking into the stair passage extending to the ground, Lei Xiao found out.
This kind of staircase is designed to be very low and the steps are short, which is obviously not suitable for normal people to walk, and it can be said to be quite strenuous to walk.
After going through a crappy ~, Lei Xiao, who suddenly felt numb in his heels, suddenly saw the light in front of him.
This is not a spacious underground space. Under the reflection of the magic light ball, a huge object with a height of about 5 meters came into Lei Xiao's eyes.
"Chimneys, headlights, boilers, wheels, and some inexplicable magic devices..."
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar object in front of him, Lei Xiao's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Although the object in front of him was very magical and quite different from Lan Xing's, Lei Xiao could still recognize it easily.
What appeared in front of him was the locomotive of a steam train!
"Good guy, has the technical level of this unknown race reached the level of the first industrial revolution?"
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, his eyes became more shocked.
