Chapter 1540: Relics

Chapter 1540: Relics



Ning opened the book regarding relics and began reading it.

Relics, as mentioned by the book, were objects of the past that had no explanation as to why they existed or where they came from.

That was less to say about the weirdness of the object and more about the lack of history these people had. Traveling all around the world, they had lost a lot of important information that they couldn't bring with them into the future.

Ning wondered why that was, but this book was what he needed to read for now.

He turned the pages and read past a few paragraphs that weren't all that important for the book. He finally reached the part regarding the actual relics and how many there were.

The first relic listed was a pair of books found surprisingly on one of the asteroids that were around Krimanax. During one of the early missions to gather Spark, they had found a pair of books that went by the names of "The Adventures of Sir Bedford Starkler."

The two books were volume 4 and volume 7 of the book.

At first, the people wondered who Bedford Starkler was and how he had gone on these amazing adventures that he wrote of. The things he talked about were fascinating to the people who wrote them.

Sailing across a mass of water enough to fill the entire moon they were on? Absurdity. Climbing mountains with nothing but a single piece of stick? How could he breathe?

Running across green grass that extended by leagues upon leagues. What sort of imagination was needed to create these things?

Aside from the rocket ships, there were many other objects found flying around in space, or on some asteroid or moon, which were properly classified as proper relics.

Ning flipped through the book, going through what the other relics were. There were many books, some objects made up of plastic, leftover pots, and pans, some sort of wreckage they couldn't figure out, a cylinder with nothing but breathable air, and a lot of different things. As he flipped, Ning landed on a page where the very first words surprised him.

DODS and Date Cores.

'Wait, those are relics too?' he thought.

He quickly checked the information, and it turned out they were. DODS, while available in many places, were considered relics because they were simply there and no one knew how to use them for the longest time.

It wasn't until someone found a few Data Cores on their outside expedition that they finally knew how to run those things. They also later figured out the fuel sources for the DODS, which happened was a sort of crystal that could run the thing once left in the sun for long enough.

The crystal was readily available.

There was a large reserve of such crystals, and each Converter was taught to make it once they reached a certain rank so that there was never any lack of such crystals.

Those crystals were surprisingly the very thing that gave illumination to the massive cities underground. While just holding energy, the crystals glowed bright enough to be used as a source of light.

That was the reason why the lightbulb hadn't been invented in this place because there simply was no need for it.

Ning flipped past the information about DODS and Data Cores and read some more, but most of the other info about the relics was quite boring.

In the end, he closed the book and got back to work.
