On the way from Long An to the Weapons Research Institute, in the car, Lin An took advantage of Chu An's return to talk about the problems he encountered during this period.
Although, Chu An should know it all.
"Is that the black ball in the pyramid structure, the copy of Evil God, and the eye you saw in the trial tower?"
Nodding slightly and sitting next to Lin An, Chu An gently pushed his eyes, thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.
"The pyramid structure has actually been studied by various countries before the end of the world."
"This type of building is indeed interesting, and many researchers have tried to deduce its true purpose from its background story."
"In speculation based on historical documents, in the concept of ancient Egyptian civilization, the pyramid was considered to be a "charger" for the soul to ascend, rather than a tomb."
"This is somewhat related to the effect you tested."
"The ancient Egyptians believed that the body needs food to provide energy, and similarly, the soul also needs energy. When the sunlight gathered from the top of the tower is concentrated on the Pharaoh, it can stir up the soul and soar to the upper spiritual world. They hope to accomplish this.
Immortal Reign.”
After hearing this, Lin An looked thoughtful and subconsciously asked:
"I'm wondering if a series of half-human, half-animal existences like the Sphinx, Scarab, and Snake Woman in ancient Egyptian legends might have actually existed. Are they "psionic?"
Contaminated and turned into a mutant?"
"It's possible."
Chu An nodded and expressed his opinion:
"Although in the information you have obtained during this period, there should be no psychic energy before the end of the world. But the pyramid structure has a characteristic, it is an energy storage structure. Even if there is no problem in the early sun, when there is enough energy
When gathered together, it might be possible to achieve the effect of spiritual pollution."
There is no denial or confirmation.
Lin An was slightly confused after hearing this:
"Energy storage structure?"
"Yes, energy storage structures."
Chu An took out a piece of white paper and put it on his lap, explaining softly:
"Lin An, you should know that there are many ways for humans to generate electricity, right? Similarly, there are many ways to store electrical energy. Commonly used batteries store energy. But in fact there are several energy storage methods that are widely used, such as
Utilizing kinetic potential energy to store energy.”
"For the simplest example, if I have a thermal power station, the electricity generated can't be used up for a while, but I want to store the excess electricity. The cost of using batteries to store it is too high. The best way is to build a few pulleys.
The electric motor unit uses the generated electricity to directly lift the stone to a high place."
"When you need electricity, just push the stone down, and the potential energy of the falling stone drives the motor to convert electricity again."
"Similarly, the same principle applies to generating electricity from dams. The excess electricity is pumped to the upstream reservoir, and when it is necessary to generate electricity, the water is released, and the water drives the turbine to generate electricity."
Um?
Lin An was slightly stunned. Although he understood the principle described by Chu An, what does this have to do with the pyramid?
"You mean, the stones in the pyramid can be pushed down to generate electricity? That's why it's built so high?"
It didn't quite make sense. Lin An always felt that it was a bit strange for Colonel Chu to describe the pyramid as an energy storage structure. He could understand energy accumulation, but could energy storage really be stored?
Shaking his head gently, Chu An showed a stiff smile:
"It's not about pushing down rocks, but it has something to do with rocks."
"The material of the original pyramid is granite, and granite is composed of quartz and metal ions. Quartz has a conductive effect. Therefore, granite has a "capillary" phenomenon. When water flows from inside and outside the pyramid under the action of gravity, friction will occur between the water flows.
Electric energy, and finally the electric energy is collected at the top of the tower."
"So in a sense, this thing is both a generator and a primitive energy storage structure."
Lin An's eyes narrowed after hearing this. This was the first time he heard the explanation.
So, was this technique taught by the survivors, or was it spread by other escapees?
In doubt, Lin An couldn't help but discuss an idea he had with Chu An:
"Is it possible to artificially create mutants using a pyramid structure?"
"Compared with hunting high-level mutants in cities or in the wild, artificially created ones are relatively easier to kill."
The easiest way to improve the level of awakened ones is to hunt mutants. Lin An has enough self-sustaining points. If Long An's awakened ones can rely on this method to gain experience, it is estimated that a large number of third-level ones can be cultivated in a short period of time.
To tell the truth, it is a lie not to be tempted.
"Theoretically yes."
Chu An spoke calmly.
"But you have to consider that every time a pyramid structure is used to induce the emergence of a mutant, it means that an awakened person needs to be sacrificed."
"And based on your description, the Sun Walkers should have eaten a lot of mutants and humans in the later stages before being promoted to a high level."
"In other words, if you want to artificially create a third-level mutant, the number of 'people' consumed is not a small number."
"Of course, if you make a few heads on a small scale, the benefits will still outweigh the costs. If you make them in batches, the risk is too high and too many awakened people will be consumed."
Small scale manufacturing?
Lin An nodded thoughtfully, and Lin An was no longer obsessed with the issue of the pyramid. If he had a chance in the future, he would just go to the Egyptian war zone to take a look. He remembered clearly that there should be a highest-level psychic node there.
Handing out the blank paper, Chu An pointed to the content he had written and continued to discuss other things with Lin An.
"The gray ball and the eye in the evil god's copy"
"The former is actually of little significance, because we can only guess at his origin. Even if we know that the other party came from a replica world to escape, it can only prove that a doomsday disaster is erupting in every world. They are saying no
When more information is released, it is actually of little use.”
"But one thing deserves our attention. That is, in your guess, whether the myths and stories of various countries and nations in various periods may have been played by this group of escapees. If so, we can actually infer from various legends and stories.
Determine some truth and find some equipment or props that are useful to us."
Looking at the A4 paper that Chu An had written on, it was filled with some weapons from legendary stories.
"As for the Eye of Truth, in fact, for a long time, the top leaders of our country have doubted whether there is still a mysterious organization within Western countries, or simply the actual person in power."
"The Eye of Truth is their totem to identify each other, secretly controlling human society."
"Combined with your guess that the escapees are playing gods, a lot of things can be connected together."
"**meeting?"
Lin An asked back immediately, and immediately thought of the most famous organization in conspiracy theories.
Nodding, Chu An shook the pen in his hand and chuckled:
\"Actually, they do exist. And they have wanted to invade us for a long time.\"
"If you observe carefully, you can find that before the end of the world, many business organizations have their shadow behind them. Including some celebrities, they will deliberately make gestures that only this organization can make."
"But you don't have to worry. In our follow-up research, the organization may have had fugitives controlling everything in the early days, and they should have disappeared later."
"After the modern era, the entire society will act and expand more like "instinct", and it should have nothing to do with escapees."
"Otherwise, there won't be any clues in the North American Theater. If there are some special beings behind this organization, they should be able to provide something."
"I suspect that the meaning of this eye is more likely to be that some survivor or escapee is trying to leave this symbol as a warning."
"In other words, remind us what we need to be careful about."
"It was only later that it turned into a kind of totem worship."
