Picture 173: The outrageous continent of Terra (2/3)
After all, he had been reincarnated for six years, and Ian would no longer make a fuss about the relics of pre-era civilizations with different styles on the continent of Terra.
Not to mention anything else, Viscount Grant's etheric weapons alone are enough to make anyone who thinks that this is just a world of swords and magic with alchemy and inscriptions put aside their prejudiced perceptions.
You must know that according to some information revealed by Viscount Grant himself, the core armed forces of the Terra countries are not at all the modern firearms troops that Ian imagined, or the giant beast cavalry, steel tanks or anything like that.
The core armed forces of various countries are behemoths called ‘Armor’!
To put it simply, it is a full-coverage exoskeleton armor and a small mechanical weapon.
The first and second level ones are called 'alchemy armor' and are installed in core troops such as the core knights of major knights and the guards. In ordinary legions, only high-ranking officers may have armor as a reward for meritorious service.
.
The third and fourth levels are called 'Ether Arms', which are exclusive to major noble families. They are a symbol of honor. Having Ether Arms proves that this family has been glorious in the past and is a meritorious family with ancient glory. It is despised by the nobles in the chain.
Among them, they are second only to the nobility of the imperial capital, and they are lucky enough not to be regarded as complete country people.
The reason why Viscount Grant was able to negotiate with the Ellen family on an almost equal footing and really wanted to receive assistance, apart from the fact that he did have a relationship with Patrick, was also because the Grant family was also on the imperial border north of Wusha Port, relying on bloody
The cornerstone of the empire that was created through military exploits.
It's just a pity that the 'Ether Arms Zhenglan' has been in disrepair for many years, the weapon module was damaged, and the core power furnace was severely damaged once, so it was reduced to the peak of the second energy level... Otherwise, Viscount Grant is not inferior.
Due to his father's strength, facing the now declining Nanling natives, he was able to kill through the entire redwood forest area with his etheric weapon.
This is why Viscount Grant is determined to train Port Harrison's own alchemy inscription master.
Not much else to say, as long as the alchemist inscriptionist can repair just a small part of Zhenglan, he will have the capital to suppress the entire Nanling.
As for the fifth-level ‘Apocalypse Arms’ and the ‘Silent Ancient Divine Item’ that are not included in the comparison category...
They are all magical weapons and wonders that enable high-level ascendants to fight against the armies of great powers by one person. They are the basis for creating a large force.
At present, the boy can't guess what those things are, but it can't be some kind of final battle machine, or a strategic destructive weapon or something? Hahahaha...haha...ha...
It's really possible.
Ian never dared to underestimate the outrageousness of Terra.
All in all, because Harrison Port is remote, it cannot show the entire continent of Terra. Ian knows this very well, so he understands that even if the foundation for his future change of the world is in Harrison Port, it is in this natural place with excellent geographical advantages.
Although he has no home base, he will still find an opportunity to venture out and witness everything in this world.
But now it seems that this place is indeed the place where Emperor Inaga specially instructed his cronies to open a new port here.
There are so many relics of pre-civilizations.
"It is a high-voltage electric energy wireless transmission tower."
Slightly reducing the output of the fairy wings, Ian relied on the high-density body of the sand armor apprentice to 'stand' in the deep sea, which was about a thousand meters deep, and then stretched out his hand to touch the surface of these tall stone trees.
He frowned: "But why? Wireless transmission of power consumes a lot of money. If it is in space, it may still be valuable."
"But if it's in space, why do we have to use radio waves for transmission instead of directly using high-energy lasers?"
Wireless transmission of electric energy is feasible, but the attenuation is severe when the distance is far, and the loss is incredibly large. It has no practical value inside the planet's atmosphere.
But... Ian raised his head. He looked at the dense stone forest in front of him and the thousands of wireless transmission towers. He didn't understand why these things were built in a coastal area... and they were so densely packed that there was absolutely nothing.
significance!
No, that's not right.
Maybe it's not construction... but storage.
Ian suddenly thought of something.
Harrison Port is located in the tropical coastal area, extremely close to the equator.
There is an extremely large group of pre-civilization ruins here, so important that even Hilliard still remembered them in the past few decades and would come back regularly to observe anomalies.
The big storm in the South China Sea is suspected to be caused by abnormal heat dissipation in the energy supply system of the ruins. The teacher once said that there is a secret to "".
The collection of various clues led Ian to think of a very possible answer.
"Is it possible... that the essence of the Nanhai ruins... is an equatorial orbital accelerator or an orbital space elevator?"
That being said, everything has an explanation.
Ian knows very well that whether it is an orbital accelerator or an orbital space elevator, it requires a huge amount of energy to operate continuously, and even requires a group of super-giant nuclear fusion power plants to provide sufficient supply.
There is sufficient nuclear fusion fuel in the ocean, which is also a natural cooling reservoir. The pre-epoch civilization must have considered all aspects before placing these facilities here.
And these wireless energy transmission towers in front of me...
As he just suspected, these are things that are only useful in space.
The pre-era civilizations of those years had probably begun building large-scale space facilities! However, they had not yet completed the space industrial center, so they still needed to rely on orbital accelerators and space elevators to transport these high-precision industrial products from the planet to the space orbit for assembly.
The undersea stone forest in front of me... was the parts of space facilities that were buried in the deep sea by the disaster before they could be transported to the sky.
An unfulfilled dream.
After thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but sigh.
Regardless of whether the big storm is a 'natural disaster' caused by the heat dissipation of the orbital accelerator power pack, he will currently speculate based on this possibility. After all, if the cause of the monster's mutation in recent times is actually the leakage of high-concentration nuclear fuel...
That's so reasonable.jpg
"Where's that fish from before?"
After gathering his thoughts and recording his guesses in his mind, Ian raised his head and looked around.
He saw the nest of the devil fish under a stone tree.
This stone tree has been toppled and broken, and the metal creation made more than a thousand years ago has long since decayed into shape. A large fish piled it into a lid-like nest, entrenched itself in it, and dormant quietly.
In the precognitive vision, there is also a spiritual field in the lair of this devil fish.
and……
"Isn't it very similar to the psychic field of Caitan Cliff? It's exactly the same."
Ian squinted his eyes, raised his head and stared at the dark sea, looking in the direction of Caotan Cliff, which was theoretically not far above his head: "Is Caotan Cliff actually integrated with the seabed here? So that's it.
Come on... Caitanya's peculiar ability to attract lightning is probably a manifestation of a relic from the civilization of the previous era."
"It's no wonder that we can raise such a magical fish that can discharge electricity."
After understanding the formation of the devil fish lair and the stone forest on the seabed, Ian finally relaxed his mind.
Today's plan to test the Fairy Wings and Half-Potion has been considered a complete success, even far exceeding expectations.
Theoretically speaking, it would be very reasonable for Ian to go back on the spot at this moment.
But now that I’m here, I definitely have to take something back with me.
"I saw a lot of monsters just now. If I don't catch monster fish, I should be fine catching a few familiar faces."
Thinking of this, Ian activated his fairy wings and pushed the water flow to start patrolling the surrounding deep sea.
The pure rock crystal bone can decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen, providing oxygen for Ian. However, he is not a reef-eating sea otter after all. He does not have air sacs in his body, so he cannot float up as quickly as a sea otter, and the source of energy consumed is a bit large.
So far, activating the fairy wings and crystal bones has consumed one-third of Ian's body's essence... If he wants to leave the essence to fight with all his strength, he will have to be active for another twenty minutes at most.
Go ashore to have something to eat and rest.
However, in the core of the ancient dragon, the source of energy that Ian has stored in the past four years can ensure that at critical moments, Ian can have a cruising time that is far more than ten times that of the ordinary first energy level.
So he wasn't particularly anxious.
With the precognitive vision, it is not easy for Ian to find the hidden monsters and treasures hidden in the gravel reefs and deep sea.
It didn't take long for him to find a huge 'rock' in a depression.
It's said to be a rock, but judging from the curvature, you can tell it's a giant clam, larger than most of a human.
