Chapter 474: Starry Sky Military Base, Civilization Ruins!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Oracle Heavenly King brought w.a.n.g Che out of the city area of the capital and into the wilderness from the border.
They flew for about half an hour before landing.
The terrain of the Imperial Capital was high, and the wilderness was mostly high plains.
However, the location where the Oracle Heavenly King landed was spa.r.s.ely populated. Even soul pets were rare.
Standing on the emerald green lawn, the Oracle Heavenly King squatted down and pressed against the ground.
!!
A portal-like light screen gradually appeared.
“Let’s go. Those things are rather special.”
The Oracle Heavenly King pondered for a few seconds, “But let me say this first. You can choose those remains, but I can’t guarantee whether they will or not.”
w.a.n.g Che nodded, “Of course.”
“I know that you activated those soul bones at He Huan’s research base, but those are things from the Remote Antiquity Era. They’re different from these foreign civilizations.”
The Oracle Heavenly King said, “Therefore, if you feel that something is wrong later, don’t force yourself to choose those remains.”
With that, the Oracle Heavenly King walked into the light screen.
w.a.n.g Che followed.
Their figures flickered as s.p.a.ce changed. They shrunk into a beam of light and disappeared.
A breeze blew past.
Spatial teleportation technology.
Currently, it was not used in civilian technology.
With the help of spatial soul pets, it wasn’t difficult to develop this technology in the modern world.
It was probably not used for civilian use because the cost of production was relatively high.
It was not even enough to train soul pets with spatial materials, let alone create these spatial portals.
To put it bluntly, resources were scarce.
There were not many spatial soul pets in the Fallen Ancient Era.
There were slightly more modern ones because the environment and technology were too good.
Training these soul pets required a large number of spatial materials.
Therefore, the scarcity of materials made it very difficult for modern spatial soul pets to break through in quant.i.ty.
Before long, spatial teleportation happened.
When his vision cleared again, w.a.n.g Che saw a starry sky.
“This is…”
w.a.n.g Che was stunned.
“The third starry sky military base of the Eastern War Zone.”
The Oracle Heavenly King casually said, “The exact location is about tens of thousands of meters above the Imperial Capital. Once there’s a problem with those remains, if they’re abandoned on the ground, it will definitely cause a considerable tremor and even form some extremely destructive Soul Earth. We can only let the Heavenly King cross the cosmic sea or send a battleship to the cosmos.”
Simply put, it was throwing trash.
“Let’s go.”
The Oracle Heavenly King brought w.a.n.g Che into the military research base.
This base was roughly like a special structure of a double helix. The elevator had a total of 81 floors.
There were staff members wearing green research clothes coming and going.
After seeing the Oracle Heavenly King, most of them shouted respectfully and did not care.
“Little Yu!”
After arriving at the 72nd level and opening the door, they saw a man with gla.s.ses who seemed to have been waiting for a while.
The man looked young. He had snow-white hair, a handsome face, and a scholarly aura.
“Yes, Uncle He. This is w.a.n.g Che.”
The Oracle Heavenly King pointed to her side, “His name is He Jun, He Huan’s father. He’s one of the main people in charge of this base.”
He Jun glanced at w.a.n.g Che with a teasing expression. He smiled and nodded.
“Let’s go. Follow me. I’ve already heard about what happened below.”
“However, I didn’t expect you to have such achievements at such a young age.”
He Jun brought the Oracle Heavenly King and w.a.n.g Che into a room.
He first gave w.a.n.g Che a white outfit that looked like a s.p.a.ce suit.
“The energy fluctuation emitted by the remains is very strong. Your soul power level is too low and your body has not been armed. When you enter the room later, you might be affected.”
“In a short period of time, you might feel dizzy and vomit. Your chest will feel tight and short. In a long period of time, your life will be in danger.”
w.a.n.g Che did not think too much about it. After putting on the protective suit, he followed He Jun forward.
Along the way, he saw many soul pets.
The soul pets here were mostly mental-type and were mainly used for research.
There were also small Mechanical Divine Soldiers holding weapons and serious soldiers standing guard in various positions.
The small Mechanical Divine Soldier was like a miniature version of Wave Zero. Its left arm was engraved with the pattern of an azure dragon and had an extraordinary aura.
After pa.s.sing through about five floors, they finally arrived at an extremely huge room!
The s.p.a.ce was at least tens of thousands of square meters!
In the room, there were many staff members wearing green research clothes.
The most eye-catching was naturally the strange-looking aircraft in the middle.
The dark red aircraft was clearly not the civilization technology of this world.
The various patterns on it were still clearly visible. There was a special pattern engraved on it.
w.a.n.g Che closed his eyes and felt it.
Through this protective suit, he could feel strange energy.
“I see.”
w.a.n.g Che had a rough understanding of those foreign civilizations.
“Little Ling!”
He Jun called out, “Bring over the debris of five different parts. They have to be purified!”
“Alright, wait a moment!”
A woman in the distance waved her hand.
“Why aren’t you talking?”
The Oracle Heavenly King smiled and said, “The one in front of you is the mechanical debris left behind by the invasion of the other world civilization. This is a miniature transport ship of their race. Actually, it looks quite coaxing, but it doesn’t actually have a large-scale destructive weapon.”
“Typically, such transport ships are only used to transport soldiers from their civilization at high speed.”
“Most of the truly destructive battleships have been destroyed.”
“A portion of our modern mechanical soul pets’ technology actually originates from this.”
“Actually, to put it bluntly, the three major mechanical engines in the world are all related to the foreign civilization.”
w.a.n.g Che nodded.
“Our modern mechanical soul pets, especially the Mechanical Divine Soldiers of the various war zones…” He Jun added, “In terms of combat strength, they are far stronger than the invaders of the foreign civilization back then, or even much stronger.”
“The development and research of more than three thousand years, especially in recent times, can be said to have increased rapidly.”
“It’s just that ordinary people can’t come into contact with it.”
“Of course, it’s different for Contract Soul Masters.”
To ordinary people, too fast a technological development would often cause huge social fluctuations.
Therefore, many technologies in society were rising steadily.
However, to Contract Soul Masters, after Level 70, they would gradually come into contact with stronger technology.
A place like this was not qualified for a Contract Soul Master of w.a.n.g Che’s level to enter and visit.
It was not good for low-level Contract Soul Masters to see too much.
“You want the remains of these foreign civilizations. I don’t know what you want to do.”
He Jun pondered and said, “There’s a restriction on these things. They can’t flow into any market in the war zone. Once they’re discovered, the war zone will punish you severely. However, your ident.i.ty is special. The Oracle Heavenly King guaranteed it for you. The higher-ups also allowed it. Therefore, I’ll give you five different types of debris to choose from.”
“These remains have been purified. The value of scientific research is very high.”
“But we haven’t studied it thoroughly yet. The civilization technology of some fragments is very unique… Hmm, let’s see it later.”
He Jun’s words were very interesting.
He said it was unique but did not say that it was brilliant.
In other words, they had studied it before. It was not that they could not research it, but they could not understand it.
Before long, a few st.u.r.dy soul pets carried five boxes over.
Fighting-type soul pet, Strength Beast.
A humanoid soul pet was born with a powerful physique. It had the power to carry mountains and could endure hardships. Be it in battle or in industry, it was very outstanding.
It was the soul pet that many Contract Soul Masters with non-combat occupations chose.
He Jun nodded and opened the first box.
The box was about two meters tall. After opening it, there was a dark red remnant that looked like a turtle sh.e.l.l.
“The first piece of debris.”
He Jun pointed at this piece, “It’s the remains of the armor of an alien civilization. This material is very special and can absorb elemental energy. Back in the Fallen Ancient Era, many soul masters were unable to cause damage to those soldiers because the armor of those alien soldiers was extremely powerful.”
“It’s impossible to break through their defense. It was almost a ma.s.sacre in the early stages, especially for low-level soul masters. Humans were unable to retaliate.”
“Warriors in this armor are only ordinary soldiers in the foreign civilization.”
“Therefore, these armors are only ordinary armor in terms of level.”
“The powerful thing is the material of the armor.”
“We named this material Devour Metal.”
He Jun pushed up his gla.s.ses and sighed, “Actually, there are many materials or metal ores that can absorb energy on our continent. However, they can’t be perfectly absorbed like this remnant.”
“Moreover, I suspect that in our Remote Antiquity Era, there might have been similar metals in the continent, but they gradually disappeared.”
“But this debris is a finished product and has been processed. Look at the pattern on it. It looks like a special mental circuit.”
He Jun pointed at the debris, “This composition is very strange, but because it’s in a damaged state, after our research, we discovered that this pattern composition can connect the minds and souls of warriors wearing armor. Wearing armor is like controlling your arms.”
“We also used this technology to develop the first generation Mechanical Divine Soldier after research.”
w.a.n.g Che smiled and was silent.
“If you want to modify your mechanical soul pet, this debris can greatly increase its defense, but…”
“If you want to modify and use it…” He Jun smiled helplessly, “It’s very difficult because this material can absorb energy. Even flames at more than ten thousand degrees can’t melt it. You can only change its shape through the spatial compression of spatial soul pets.”
“But melting it with other materials is a huge problem.”
“This perfect energy absorption characteristic is very terrifying. Even if it can be destroyed, the price of rebuilding it is high.”
“Moreover…”
He Jun paused, “There’s another more troublesome thing. Once this debris is melted, there’s a high chance that it will turn into dust. I wonder how the foreign civilization did it. As long as we melt this debris, it will automatically disintegrate.”
“It’s like some ancient self-destruction program!”
“But it’s clearly been so many years and these remains have been silent for more than a thousand years. There’s actually such an effect.”
“We’ve tried countless ways, but we can’t stop this situation from happening.”
He Jun sighed and looked at the battleship in the distance.
“As far as I know, the research speed of the other war zones is not faster than ours.”
“None of them can resolve this problem.”
“Therefore, so far, we only have a golden mountain, but we can’t use it.”
“We can only study some new technology from these remains.”
“In fact, in some aspects, we feel that it will surpa.s.s the technology contained in the debris.”
“Only this special self-destruction program can’t be deactivated.”
“I think this is also to prevent other civilizations from studying them thoroughly.”
With that, He Jun gently waved his hand and a soul pet floated out of his soul ring.
It was a spatial soul pet sitting in the air with a lollipop in its hand.
It was rather pet.i.te and looked like the cub of a soul pet, the Bamboo Bear, but its body was gray.
From afar, it looked like a bear doll.
Fort.i.tude Bear.
It was a combat bear among s.p.a.ce-type soul pets. In order to train itself, it often placed its favorite lollipop in its hand but didn’t lick it. When the lollipop melted, it would change to a new one.
It was said that in a hundred years, it could comprehend the power of spatial change and evolve into a soul pet, the s.p.a.ce Bear, that was good at spatial power.
It was a very unique spatial soul pet.
It was the kind with astonishing willpower.
“Roar!”
The Fort.i.tude Bear stared at the debris and shook its lollipop.
Its body began to glow.
Then, the piece of debris gradually changed, almost folding and pressing, about to become pure metal.
The next moment, the wreckage began to disintegrate. In a moment, it turned into a pile of debris that disintegrated again into dust.
That was it.
“Look, this is the situation.” He Jun shook his head, “Almost all the ruins of foreign civilizations have this characteristic. It makes us unable to use it and can only study their superficial technology.”
“Therefore, if you want to use these fragments… it will be very difficult.”
He Jun was rather conservative.
He was just short of saying that it was impossible.
“We can only let you choose some debris, but we can’t help you use it.”
“I understand.” w.a.n.g Che nodded.
He Jun continued to point at the second piece of debris.
After the second box was opened, the appearance of the remains changed.
It was a sharp remnant.
“This is the remains of their standard weapon.”
He Jun introduced, “The metal on this weapon is very special. Its sharpness and lethality are not high, but once it stabs into a human body, it will immediately cause energy chaos. In just a few seconds, it can make a Level 40 to 50 soul master explode and die.”
“Even if we touch it, the soul power in our bodies will begin to fluctuate.”
“Even now.”
He Jun did not do a demonstration.
It was rather dangerous.
“We might have this metal in our world, but it must have disappeared in the modern world long ago. The material of this weapon is called the Tremor Gold.”
“The destruction trait it contains is very terrifying!”
“Interesting, in the initial experiment, we used spatial soul pets to control this weapon to stab at the remains made of Devour Metal. Guess what happened?” He Jun smiled and asked.
“I’ll guess that both disintegrated,” w.a.n.g Che said.
