A few minutes later, when Yin En and Isengard were walking outside the temporary camp, he kept looking at the map in his hand carefully.
Everyone in the camp is recovering from their injuries. They have been fighting for too long and now they are in urgent need of rest.
In fact, even Isengard injected himself with two injections of stamina potions. Yin En had the core of an ancient dragon, so he only slept for a few hours in the Giant Golden Fungus Cave, but he was still full of energy.
Of course, he also took a bottle of stamina potion and used the nutrients in it to completely heal the hidden wounds caused by the previous battle with the indigenous great shaman.
With the map, it is not surprising that the interior of the Sequoia Base is indeed like a maze, especially after many confidential areas have been blocked, and many passages cannot be connected to each other, forming artificial dead ends.
"The priest's land is closest to us, or in other words, it's at the end of the 'Road of the Past' mural corridor. We just need to make a few more turns and forks to get there."
Pointing to the points on the map, Yin En explained the meaning of each sign to Isengard with a serious look on his face: "The exit is very far away from us. You can even say... uh, this is too far, right?"
Just when Bai Zhimin frowned and wondered why the exit of the ruins was so far away, Isengard raised his hand and pointed to the 'Holy Land' sign: "Why is the Holy Land so close to the exit? Theoretically, the Holy Land should not be located in the center of the ruins.
?"
"On the contrary, the sacrificial site is closest to the center. I thought it and the holy site should be close to each other."
Yin En knew why, because the Sequoia people's door to the outside world was sealed and could only be unlocked with the four-color card key if the four leaders agreed together.
But no one knows whether the natural disasters and changes outside will end, so no matter how much the Sequoia people miss the outside world, they can only linger at the entrance gate.
Over time, with the accumulation of thoughts and inheritance of rituals, it is not surprising that the area around the entrance and exit has become a sacred place for Sequoia people to worship.
However, Yin En didn't know why the sacrificial site was closest to the center of the ruins.
Judging from the experience of the year, could it be a material transfer center? The central control room should be further down for safer protection...
"I plan to go to the sacrificial site to see the situation."
Putting away the map and returning it to Isengard, Yin En had already engraved the entire map into the silver chip. He told him, "Just stay and take care of Master Gosei and pay attention to the situation in the camp."
"Isn't it too dangerous? And you already know the location of the exit, why don't you leave?"
Isengard's thoughts are more cautious. He was originally a rather careless person, but after being betrayed by his uncle, he became a little worried: "In this situation, it shouldn't be wrong to leave as soon as possible."
"Patrick has colluded with the indigenous people, and I'm afraid that he will be waiting for us at the exit. Not to mention this, the exit is too far away, and God knows what we will encounter on the way. Besides, we don't have the key, and we can't open the door to the ruins.
"
Yin En is not so optimistic. Leaving the ruins is obviously not a simple matter of finding a map. This is why Master Gosei did not publish the map immediately.
After all, who knows whether this prehistoric map can still be used for calculations now? There is a high probability that it cannot, and it can only be used as a reference.
"The sacrificial site is the closest and extends in all directions. It is likely to be connected to the ruins center or other key areas. That is my goal."
Having said this, the young man did not intend to hide anything: "Since everyone is already here, I have to go and have a look. It will be more convenient for me to go alone. If other people want to leave, you can lead them away."
After thinking for a while, Ethan shook his head slightly: "Teacher has recovered some of his strength, and there is no problem taking care of himself... I will accompany you."
——My strength alone is greater than that of you and me together.
Although he thought so in his heart, Yin En thought about it for a moment and realized that Master Gosei already knew his identity, so the person with the best eyesight in the entire camp was no longer a threat.
Isengard lacks combat experience, so he may not be able to see that he is using the skills of the Sand Armor Apprentice... What's more, the opponent's strength is indeed not weak. If there is really a danger that the Sand Armor Apprentice needs to be exposed, bringing him can indeed
Reduce many crises.
Not to mention, if he really encounters Patrick, he can at least interfere with the operation of the etheric weapons.
"You have to listen to my command. You have to do what I say without hesitation."
So Yin En nodded: "We will respond to several gestures later and deal with different processing methods - if you agree, then let's go."
Isengard quickly nodded in agreement.
The fact that the two of them went to explore the road ahead did not cause any reaction from everyone in the camp. After all, exploring the surroundings does require someone to do it. As the strongest person in the camp today, Yin En is willing to explore the road, which also ensures the safety of the entire team.
protection.
Due to years of disrepair and the recent changes caused by abnormal heat dissipation in the ruins, the road ahead of the mural passage is surrounded by various cracks. The crack where Yin En and others walked out of the ice abyss of the ruins is the largest of the many cracks.
, the kind that allows many people to walk side by side.
Fortunately, the passage was stable and there were no overall problems. At least Yin En did not see any obvious danger of collapse.
Walking through an area filled with dense cracks, there are several forks in the road. It is not obvious from a distance at first, but the closer you get, the more you can notice that this place is indeed the ruins of an advanced base from the previous era.
The solid white tempered building materials on both sides of the wall have not decayed to this day, and the door and window designs of each room have a futuristic minimalist aesthetic. The occasional hollow pattern decoration is also extremely delicate, and it is even a high-level inscription set in itself.
Showcase the superb technical strength of civilizations from previous eras.
"The effect of this inscription group seems to be to prevent metal oxidation in a large area?"
Along the way, Yin En finally recorded this huge combination of runes into the silver chip. He couldn't help but be a little surprised: "And it seems that it can run continuously without the need for light and ink?"
"No." But soon, he shook his head in denial: "There is an energy source behind these inscription groups - it is probably provided by the fusion power generation group, but there is no need for such a primitive method as injecting light and ink."
For the inscription group, glossy ink is a must. Without glossy ink, it is equivalent to an engine without gasoline.
However, just as cars burning gasoline will gradually be replaced by electric cars, in the future, Yin En believes that there will definitely be other energy conversion methods that replace the effect of light ink... And pre-era civilizations can directly replace light ink with power stations.
It's not particularly incredible.
"This, this is mithril?!"
Compared to Yin En, who paid close attention to the inscription group, as an alchemist, Isengard was shocked to find that the seemingly ordinary hollow pattern coating materials had extraordinary origins during his inspections along the way: "Yin En, Yin En!
You see, the silver coating on these inscription groups - these are all mithril!"
Looking around in shock at the dozens of rooms before and after the fork in the road, the blond boy felt incredible in his heart: "Although it is only a thin layer, but if you collect them all, they must weigh at least dozens of kilograms, right? This much mithril is enough to make
Several Ether Furnace Hearts..."
As a furnace core that requires extremely high efficiency to conduct natural psychic energy, the etheric furnace core naturally needs a high-efficiency energy transfer substance called mithril, which is almost a normal superconducting material. However, the materials used are not large, even if the entire furnace core plus whole body conduction
The route only requires 20 to 30 kilograms.
"Don't bother with these materials."
Yin En was more calm: "These anti-corrosion inscription groups are extremely critical. This may be the reason why the passages and buildings in the entire ruins can be preserved for thousands of years - if they are really pulled out, this area will probably collapse."
"No, I know their importance very well - but it's a pity that we can't make rubbings this time. If we can make rubbings, take them back and study them carefully, it will be of great help to inscription literature."
After calming down, Isengard understood the key, but the luxury of the civilization of the previous era still made him sigh with emotion: "Having said that, mithril is indeed not the most important material in the heart of the ether furnace, but it is so precious... but it has spare power.
Make it into patterned decoration.”
"It's really hard to imagine what kind of disaster could destroy such a powerful civilization."
Their emotions did not stop them from moving forward, and after turning a few more corners, they saw a huge metal door ahead.
This metal door should be a kind of blocking partition door, like a copper wall and an iron wall. As long as it is closed, even heavy artillery attacks cannot open it.
But Yin En raised his hand to signal Isengard not to step forward.
"The door was opened by some creature." The young man whispered, "Not long ago."
Although the giant metal door in front of you seems to be closed, there is a gap in the middle that is insignificant compared to the whole - for humans, this gap is enough to pass through.
Yisen understood, and he stopped speaking, but took a cautious step back, making sure that they had not exposed any traces before gesturing to Yin En's ring.
With a slight nod, Yin En turned on the Ring of Silence, then carefully moved forward and passed through the gap.
Behind the partition door, there is a main hall inside. The edge of the main hall is surrounded by a small river of living water. The water quality is normal and there are no parasites. The ground is paved with a layer of silver-white metal, and the dome shines with an eternal light.
Fluorescent lamp.
There are many complicated things placed in the hall, but most of them have been weathered or deformed, reflecting the power of time.
But in the center of the hall is a spherical metal device that is two stories high. Its appearance is extremely smooth, almost like a mirror. Its structure is a bit like an MRI machine, but it is much larger. It is particularly dazzling under the light.
.
Time has no effect on it. Thousands of years have passed and it is still shining brightly.
The silver light in Yin En's eyes flashed, and the information about this machine had been scanned into his eyes.
But neither he nor Isengard had time to care about the information on that machine.
Because the two people's eyes were locked on the figure in front of the machine.
