Chapter 831: The True Face of the Unknown Race (Part 2)

Latest URL: "Difference Engine?"

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Ariel marveled at the countless gears and chains in front of her, and couldn't help asking curiously: "My lord, is this dazzling giant machine also a product of your world?"

"Not exactly."

Lei Xiao looked at the huge mechanical array formed by the rows of gears printed with numbers, shook his head and said: "In the world I live in, only part of the structure of the difference engine was completed back then, and it was not completely completed. "

"And judging from the current situation, it is clear that the difference engine here has been completely completed and put into use."

Lei Xiao looked solemnly, nodded to Ariel, and said, "It seems that the reason why this special teleportation train can travel back and forth between the real space and the void space is undoubtedly the huge role of this difference machine." effect."

As a veteran movie buff, Lei Xiao is no stranger to the difference machine, the representative product of steampunk.

To put it simply, the difference engine is a mechanical computer driven by a steam engine, which can perform extremely complex functional calculations in a short period of time. In a sense, it is comparable to a modern electronic computer.

If the second industrial revolution hadn't come too fast, if the difference machine, a cross-age product, could really be completely completed, I'm afraid it would allow mankind to skip the electrical age and enter the information age ahead of schedule.

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he continued to observe.

In addition to the huge mechanical structure, there are also a large number of magic consoles similar to those in the cab on both sides of the passage.

Many rusted parts are also engraved with dense magic patterns, and even the ground is covered with the outlines of unknown magic circles.

It is not difficult to see from this that the difference machine in front of him is not purely mechanized, but also a combination of machinery and magic.

"It seems that this difference engine can not only calculate complex functions, but also can automatically release spells or form magic circles, right? In other words, this is the control center of the entire train."

Lei Xiao swallowed involuntarily, his eyes became more solemn.

The difference engine alone is enough to surprise people, but it is unimaginable that what is in front of them is actually a magic difference engine.

"My lord, is this complicated machine that makes you sleepy so powerful?"

Hearing that the difference engine can actually allow the train to travel through space, Chao Yan's big eyes almost fell out, and she couldn't help asking Lei Xiao.

"In simple terms, this can be regarded as a device that automatically releases spells."

Lei Xiao explained concisely in a language Chaoyan could understand: "As long as you supply enough magic power and enter the specified password, you can recite spells at the same time without interfering with each other, so as to release different spells at the same time. Effect."

After listening to Lei Xiao's explanation, all the subordinates couldn't help but be amazed, and their faces revealed expressions of amazement.

In other words, even if there is no strong space system, as long as it can supply the huge magic power it needs, this train can indeed teleport instantly in theory.

While the subordinates were amazed, Lei Xiao had already turned the entire carriage around.

In the second half of the carriage, there is a large operation area, not only the magic operation consoles are neatly arranged, but also the mechanical operation consoles that have been seen before, which can be described as dazzling.

"Although teleportation requires a lot of magic power, and supporting such a huge train will further increase the consumption of magic power, but this is a train that uses a hybrid of steam and magic power after all."

"Although I don't know how much steam and magic power consume in the process of teleportation, and I don't know how far the maximum teleportation distance of the train can be compared with the teleportation technique performed by normal strong people."

"But what is certain is that since this space train can appear in the "Gate of Wandering", it will definitely not be an ordinary person. If this kind of transmission train can be mass-produced and then used on the battlefield, it will definitely play a role. unexpected effect. "

"What if special mechanisms are installed on the train? For example, rows of magic cannons, large defensive barriers and other means will undoubtedly greatly improve the battlefield situation."

"After all, what I am facing is not only the threat of the original forces, but also the lords of other countries."

"Many of them will inevitably choose the combination of technology and magic to create a more powerful force."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's face became solemn and helpless again.

Having said that, the accelerated research speed and even the mass production of teleportation trains that I imagined are all based on the help of unknown races.

Otherwise, even if I send a large number of researchers here to analyze the difference engine and the entire train, it is absolutely impossible to gain anything in a short period of time.

After all, even though the lords of the Xiaoshen Group assembled by Qin Qian are all leaders in the industry, they have never been exposed to the new field of combining technology and magic power, and everything has to start from scratch.

In this ignorant situation, facing such a difficult space steam train and magic difference engine all at once, I am afraid that the CPU will burn to smoke on the spot.

"The most important thing is that I haven't even seen the shadow of this unknown race."

Looking at the mottled scene around him, Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly while waving his hands to signal the knotweed stick to go forward to open the door.

"Currently, apart from knowing the limited height of this unknown race, even Elusa, who is an archaeologist, and the well-informed Jiangli and Hong Ye have not found any clues from any details."

"Combined with this long-awaited situation, the true face of this race may really become an unsolved mystery."

Just when Lei Xiao frowned and thought of this.

With just a "bang", the heavy carriage door in front was easily removed by the knotweed stick.

At the same time as the sound came out, everyone present, including Lei Xiao himself, couldn't help but tremble, and all looked in the direction of the sound.

At this moment, everyone in the fourth-order powerhouse can clearly perceive it.

In the compartment door, there was a strange atmosphere.

Although these breaths are very weak, it is certain that there must be living creatures on the other side of the door!

"Protect Lord Lord!"

The knotweed standing at the front bears the brunt, and the thick khaki energy barrier immediately blocks the door tightly.

However, after only a moment, Hu Zhang turned around and reported to Lei Xiao with a face full of surprise: "My lord, there seems to be a different resting place ahead."

"There is actually a resting place here? But if this is the case, how can there be breath?"

Lei Xiao was full of doubts, and then, surrounded by other subordinates, he walked towards the unfamiliar carriage ahead.

The moment Lei Xiao walked into the strange car, he immediately felt the temperature around him plummet, as if he had come to an ice cellar.

But what is surprising is that even though the compartment door has been removed by the knotweed, the cold air inside still hasn't leaked out, which is quite miraculous.

After looking around, Lei Xiao found out further.

Just like what the knotweed said, there is only one kind of item here.

That is a large number of rectangular boxes similar to ice coffins. There are hundreds of them neatly arranged on both sides of the aisle, just like a freezer, which looks quite spectacular.

I saw that in every crystal clear rectangular box, one could see a looming and small figure lying in it, but because it was covered with thick dust, it couldn't be seen clearly.

And under these rectangular boxes, there is a strange magic circle that is still running, emitting a faint blue light.

As for why Lei Xiao thought it was just like an ice coffin, it was because those faint breaths came from these rectangular boxes.

Therefore, from the perspective of Lei Xiao's modern people, these are obviously not real coffins, but rather like some kind of life support device with a sense of science fiction and magic.

Only in this way can it explain why there is a weak breath of life coming out of it.

Counting this in his heart, Lei Xiao was surprised, and then described his thoughts and his subordinates.

"So it's like this. Is it a magical life support device? Just like the previous Gals predecessors."

Ariel nodded suddenly, and groped her white chin thoughtfully: "So, these figures are from that unknown race, right?"

"Yes, this just explains why this place has been deserted for a long time, but no corpses have been seen."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and affirmed: "Because these personnel of unknown races have already sealed themselves in these life support devices."

"My lord, why are they doing this?"

Chaoyan blinked her curious eyes, tilted her head in doubt and said, "What's even more strange is why they sealed themselves in the "Wandering Gate"? What's the point of doing this? "

"It is still unknown, but what is certain is that there must be an unknown past hidden in it."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then responded: "Let's first see the true face of this unknown race."

After speaking, Lei Xiao led his subordinates to one of the life support devices.

After Lian stepped forward and wiped off the thick floating dust on the covers of several devices, Lei Xiao and his group finally saw each other's true colors.

I saw that those lying in these devices were a short humanoid race, male and female, whose height was almost the same as the phantoms of dwarves that Lei Xiao had seen.

Perhaps because they have been lying in the life support device, these people all have withered faces and look extremely weak.

But it can be clearly seen that it is different from the sturdy dwarves with a rough face full of beards.

Not only did this race have thinner bones, but they were also much fairer. Even with this frail appearance, they all had exquisite facial features, which were by no means comparable to those of the dwarves.

And even if the eyes are closed, everyone's body exudes a strong intellectual temperament, just like scholars who are taking a nap.

As for the other party's attire, they were all in black style, either black robes or black leather armor, making their skin extremely pale and colorless.

In addition, another major feature of this humanoid race is the pointed ears.

Although it is not as tall as the elf Erza, it is a bit longer than the half-elf Jiangli.

"So it's a group of elves who have been silent for a long time?"

After observing carefully for a while, Erza blinked her slender eyelashes, and then slowly revealed the other party's identity.

"Elf?"

Hearing this unfamiliar word, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, signaling Ersha to continue.

"My lord, the dwarfs are a race that has disappeared for a long time. They haven't appeared since the blank age. This subordinate also happened to see a few words about the dwarfs in an ancient book in the kingdom of the dark elves."

Erza bowed slightly and began to introduce.

"Although the title of dwarf elves also includes the word elves, this is just their self-proclaimed name. In fact, it has not been recognized by the light elves, forest elves, and dark elves such as their subordinates, so they do not belong to the branch of the elves. "

"In addition to the official name of dwarf, this race has another well-known name, and that is dwarf."

"In terms of strength, the dwarves do not have the strong physique of the dwarves, nor the magical affinity of the elves, nor the acuity and speed of the winged people, so they appear very mediocre, and the word mediocrity is also used in ancient books. the only description of

"In addition, it is indeed described in the ancient books that the elves are good at machinery, but it is only the three words "good at machinery", and there is no other detailed introduction."

Speaking of this, Elusa's white and translucent face couldn't help showing a touch of respect: "I didn't expect the real strength of the elves to be so impressive."

As a relic fan and archaeologist, Erza has explored various ancient relics.

But whether it's this space train, or those special summoning circles and pressure detection circles before, they are far beyond her imagination.

It is not difficult to see from this that the strength of this race at its peak is probably infinitely close to that of the well-known races with extraordinary strength, such as the dwarves, elves, and winged humans.

"That would explain everything."

Lei Xiao looked at the resolute face of the middle-aged elf in the life support device in front of him, and nodded thoughtfully.

"Because they don't have any competitiveness and advantages compared with other races, they will find another way to develop these products that combine technology and magic, and they have reached an unprecedented height."

Having said that, Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he asked the most powerful half-elf patriarch, "Speaking of which, is there any possibility to wake them up?"

"Lord Lord, judging from the thick dust and the weakness of the magic circles, these magic circles have existed for at least 2,500 years, which means that they have also been dormant for 2,500 years. Long."

Jiang Li closed his eyes and felt for a moment, then bowed to Lei Xiao and expressed his thoughts.

"Although the subordinates are not strong men of the healing type, they can clearly feel that the reason why they are still alive is entirely because of these life support devices, which keep their extremely weak bodies at a minimum level. limited dormancy."

"And once they are awakened and their body functions return to a normal state, I'm afraid they will die immediately because their bodies are overwhelmed."

Speaking to this point~www.readwn.com~ Jiang Li shook his head helplessly, and sighed softly: "So this subordinate believes that even if they are strong in the fifth-level healing system, they may not be able to wake them up successfully."

After listening to Jiang Li's words, Ye Cang, who is a strong healer, nodded in agreement.

"In other words, even if we can keep their lives alive, can't we communicate with them smoothly?"

Lei Xiao curled his lips, his face full of helplessness.

This undoubtedly means that no matter how hard I try, I will not be able to get the assistance of these elves, and then quickly develop some more powerful devices and weapons.

"Wait! Lord Lord, maybe we can communicate with these elves in real time without waking them up!"

Ersha's clear eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something, she excitedly said to Lei Xiao, "Because they are not in a real dormant state at all!"
