Chapter 401 The Secret of the Lost Continent
The old scholar of the Coman Empire spoke with great confidence. After a group of people looked at each other for a few seconds, excitement appeared on their faces.
"This...UFO sea beast is a mutated human being?"
"Yes! There was a record in the Great Library. Although the Lance continent is not big, it is above Human beings have mastered very superb energy utilization technology. They can drive large golems and use natural ores on the Lance continent as energy sources..."
The words of the old scholar made several scientific researchers in front of them The staff became more and more excited.
"Old sir, tell me more information about Lance Continent!"
"We are very interested in these!"
"What is the current situation of Lance Continent? Just sink to the bottom. "
"Are there any relevant documents? Are the materials in the big library you just mentioned still available? "
The researchers asked Coman one after another. The old man from the empire was a little overwhelmed. He waved his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
"As for the relevant information about the continent of Lance, in fact, there is still a lot of information preserved in the Grand Library. Lance is a rather special continent. The reason why the empire successively expelled the puppet masters is actually related to the fact that Lance is a relatively special continent. It has something to do with the empire on the Lance continent.”
“If you are interested in this, I can definitely send someone to the Great Library now to find information about the Lance continent.”
Everyone quickly picked up the conversation.
“That’s great!”
“Is there any record about Lance Continent in the materials in the Great Library? Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be tens of thousands in this kind of place. Did it sink to the bottom of the sea? ”
"Do you need our help, sir?"
The old gentleman shook his head and said slowly: "I will inform the people in Selia City, and they will deliver it soon. "
"As for the questions that you are interested in, you will all know it after the materials are delivered!"
...
From the Big Book of Selia City! The documents and materials in the library were quickly sent to the outpost. Queen Irina cooperated very actively after knowing that the lost continent of Lance was discovered at the outpost. All the information about the continent of Lance in the Great Library was completely destroyed by her. Packaged and delivered.
After seeing the names of these books, the old scholar opened two of them with ease and reached the page number he wanted almost in one flip.
“Look,”
He pointed to one of the books with densely packed Koman texts, and said to the people gathered around him: “This is a chant excerpted from the ancient times. The Bard's Record of Observations has written very clearly about the Lance continent."
He directly read out the area he was referring to: "The humans in the Lance continent have wonderful golems in their hands. Technology, they use a kind of yellow ore as power. As long as the magician chants it according to the spell, a pile of scrap metal can be turned into a magical puppet with great power."
"Magic puppet! Helped the people of Lance continent to dig mountains and pave roads, and even used them for war in the later period.”
"The battles between golems are very fierce, and the defeated party usually uses self-destruction. When the yellow ore is used as a power source, if it comes into contact with the enemy's power source, it will cause extremely terrifying consequences."< br>
“The power of the self-destruction of a golem is extremely frightening. The self-destruction effect of a small golem is enough to destroy everything within a hundred meters. A large golem can even level a mountain and destroy all living creatures within a range of thousands of meters. All turned into ashes..."
After reading this, the old scholar noticed that everyone in front of him looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Why do you feel something is weird?"
"It is indeed a bit strange... The description in this text makes me feel that this continent of Lance seems to have mastered something in ancient times. A high-tech mecha that possesses very impressive core power energy technology!”
"It's not that mechas and energy are strange, but this description makes me feel more like - nuclear energy!"
"Yes, that's what it feels like!"
End of the sentence Another scientific researcher immediately joined in, "Let me tell you, what was that extremely strong feeling just now? This is the emotion!"
"It's impossible, the technology on the Origin Planet is backward, and the technology is... The highest technology in the Man Empire and the Dalad Continent where the dwarves are located has only just come into contact with steam engines, which is almost the same as black technology..."
"You can't be too absolute, it's true. Because it is a different world, in many cases we cannot rashly apply the experience from Earth! ”
"Suppose there really are natural radioactive isotope minerals in the world, and they can be used as nuclear batteries..."
"I think we have fallen into some kind of misunderstanding. The hypothesis should be changed to say ——There are natural radioactive energy minerals on the Lance continent, and their characteristics are almost the same as those of radioactive isodigit thermoelectric batteries!”
As soon as this hypothesis came out, everyone present fell silent.
This is amazing!
If there is really a golem device driven by "nuclear power" on the Lance continent, then they need to make a new consideration of the technological level of the entire world.
But the old scholar quickly calmed them down with a series of messages.
“...Lance continent was destroyed by the wrath of the gods. After the gods were angry, the entire Lance continent plate cracked, volcanoes erupted, the sky-blocking dust covered the entire continent, and all the vegetation and flowers withered. Violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions caused the death of most humans."
"A small number of humans had received a message from the oracle before, and they hid under the sea in advance to escape, but the curse of the gods followed. Then, the curse changed their physical characteristics and gave them organs that could survive underwater. At the same time, they began to gradually degenerate and completely became beast-like creatures...called [UFOs]."
“The destruction of the Lance continent indirectly affected other continental plates. The volcanic ash and black clouds that blocked the sky were blown to other plates by strong winds, causing a large number of creatures and vegetation to die and wither..."< br>
“There are rumors in the empire that this is the result of the puppet master’s intention to create a blasphemous giant puppet, which was ultimately punished by the gods. Countries have issued orders to ban the puppet master from entering, and even started to expel the puppet master...”
A series of information was blasted out immediately, and everyone present was able to confirm what the old scholar read out. That is simply the scene after a nuclear war!
The Lance continent was not sunk due to the curse or punishment of the gods at all. It is such a large piece of land. If you want to let it sink, you can only rely on the most powerful destructive weapon that mankind has ever used - —Nuclear weapons can ultimately achieve the goal!
There is a high probability that the Lance continent was destroyed by the nuclear reaction caused by the yellow energy mineral in the golem's body. There is a high probability that the chain reaction caused volcanoes and earthquakes...
"Have we conducted geological exploration of the sea area over there?"
"The entire Origin Star is almost finished, I'll call it out now!"
A staff member quickly stood up and directly looked up the geological information of the nearby sea area in front of the computer. After reading it, his face was full of joy: "It seems that our idea is right, there is an earthquake zone over there!"
"The earthquake zone on the Origin Star is very special. Its frequency is far worse than that of the earth, but its intensity is very terrifying. Every time An earthquake will directly cause plate changes... What is this called an active period? "
"It seems that we already have the answer."
"The speculation has basically been confirmed, and now we need to find more detailed evidence."
Several scientific researchers turned their faces and looked directly at the old scholar. This guy who had been immersed in the big library of Selia City all year round was simply a moving encyclopedia, otherwise they would not have transferred him to assist them in their work.
Now it seems that it is necessary to transfer it.
The old scholar was a little frightened by this look. He stammered in Chinese: "What are you...looking at?"
"There is also something about Lance Continent. More information? It would be better to be more detailed."
A scientific researcher spoke up, and the old scholar nodded to him: "There is a lot of relevant information in the books sent over, but. What I just mentioned is the most detailed, and the rest are just scraps and supplementary content.”
"Find out all the troubles. We need to summarize them."
The old scholar quickly started working. The outpost invited him over from the Coman Empire and offered him up to 2,500 yuan a month. The high salary of new gold coins was a fatal temptation for him.
The previous outpost's collection and scanning of the data on the Coman Empire is now progressing slowly. It is said that Fuxi AI is preparing to come in to help organize such data in the near future...
At this time, the Harbor City Terminal , the Jiaolong, which had just completed its mission, was docked here to rest.
They originally planned to leave this dangerous sea area directly, but when the Jiaolong dived to the surface, the detection device reminded them that a large number of seabed corpses followed them up.
So a crew of the Jiaolong used equipment to collect some of the corpses of the [UFO] and brought them back to the Harbor City Pier.
When they passed this information to the dock, the nearby laboratory immediately sent heavily armed personnel to take away all the sea animal carcasses, and along the way, everyone present was tested and temporarily isolated. , and then assigned the next task after confirming that there were no problems with them.
The corpse of the UFO sea beast was immediately sent to the main biological research institute of the outpost, where all the elite biological research researchers from the entire other world gathered.
After seeing the ugly scaled corpse of the UFO, they were all a little creepy.
The average height of UFO sea beasts is generally about 1.5 meters, but this one is nearly 2 meters tall. Its body is covered with thick gray-black scales. It has no eyes and the lower part of its cheek takes up two-thirds. The mouth is densely packed with extremely sharp teeth arranged in three rows.
Both sides of the body and limbs are equipped with fin-like fleshy membranes, and the sharp claws are about 40 centimeters long and extremely hard.
"Is this thing definitely the effect of degradation?"
"After testing, this thing contains a large amount of radiation in its body. Our existing devices can barely meet the conditions for isolating their radiation. But don’t stay here any longer.”
“Radiation? This thing seems to be a mutated creature.”
“Mentor, I received it from another department. According to the news, they said that these creatures should be human beings who have been mutated by nuclear radiation. Long-term exposure to water caused the degeneration of some organs, and the radiation caused the remaining organs to mutate, and finally turned into this ghostly appearance."
"It does provide us with a good idea...but we still need to cut it open carefully to see what's going on."
"Inform Assistant Zhang to prepare equipment and special radiation protection equipment. We are going to disembowel this monster!”
The Biological Research Institute acted extremely quickly. They used mechanical assistance to quickly cut open the body of the UFO sea beast, quickly confirming the previous news. It's true - although the internal organs of the UFO sea beast have been mutated and dislocated, it can still be seen that they are human organs.
Excessive radiation and drastic changes in the seabed environment forced them to actively or passively accept this transformation process, and eventually evolved into this monster shape...
The Biological Research Institute quickly An analysis report was made, and the relevant results were quickly passed to another department, which immediately caused the personnel there to exclaim loudly.
At the same time, the autopsy results of the corpses brought back by the Jiaolong submarine were also sent to the association.
The association was originally very interested in the lost continent of Lance, especially after they learned that there was very likely to be some kind of natural radioactive isotope mineral on the continent of Lance. Some people within the association even suggested They are building a super-fast underwater elevator in this sea area!
After the dissection results of the UFO sea beast were delivered here, all the sounds disappeared.
The Lost Continent is called the Lost Continent because this continental plate broke apart and sank to the bottom of the sea a long time ago!
More importantly, the things that humans frequently used on the Lance continent caused nuclear radiation that was difficult to clean up and decay...or strong radioactivity. In short, this sea area was a huge problem.
The situation has gradually become clear. There are still some scattered small islands in the sea above the Lost Continent. The association sent planes to these places to conduct investigations. As expected, they found traces of various ancient human lives on these islands.
Although most things have been wiped out by time, some murals or special metals from early times still survived, which surprised the soldiers who went to the island to investigate.
Of course, the materials left on these islands are all highly radioactive. The soldiers who went to the islands themselves took full protection. As a result, the radiation detectors started to sound like crazy after they went to the islands. They were all a little surprised.
After comprehensive consideration, the association announced that it has given up its continued exploration plan for the lost continent of Lance.
Although there may be magic dolls or even special minerals such as natural nuclear batteries on the Lance continent, the currently sinking continental plate is at least several kilometers deep in the ocean. The complicated situation on the seabed is far away. It is not something that the current association can fully control.
For the safety of personnel, they can only do this.
