Chapter 174 173 Outrageous Terra Continent (23)

After all, it has been six years since he was reincarnated, and Ian would not have made a fuss about the relics of pre-era civilizations with different styles on the Terra continent.

Among other things, Viscount Grant's ether armament alone is enough to make anyone who thinks this is just a world of swords and magic with alchemy and inscriptions put aside their prejudices.

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 giant beast cavalry, steel tanks and so on.

The core armed forces of the countries are giants called 'armor'!

To put it simply, it is a full-coverage exoskeleton armor and small mechanical armor.

The first and second levels, called 'Alchemy Armor', are listed in the core knights and guards of the major knights and other core troops. In ordinary legions, only high-ranking officers may have armor as a reward for meritorious service .

The third and fourth energy level, named 'Ether Arms', is exclusive to the major noble families, and is a symbol of honor--possessing the Ether Arms proves that this family has once been brilliant, and it is a meritorious family with ancient glory. In the chain of contempt, second only to the nobles of the imperial capital, they are fortunate not to be regarded as outright countrymen.

The reason why the Viscount Grant was able to negotiate with the Ellen family on an almost equal footing and really wanted to get help was because the Grant family was also on the border of the Empire north of the Foggy Shark back then, relying on the bloody The cornerstone of the empire that was killed by his military exploits.

It's just a pity that 'Aether Armed·Zhenglan' has been in disrepair for many years, and the weapon modules have been damaged, and the core power furnace has been broken once, so it has been reduced to the peak level of the second energy level... Otherwise, Viscount Grant is not inferior Because of his father's strength, facing the now weakened Nanling natives, he was able to kill through the entire Great Redwood forest with his etheric weapons.

This is why Viscount Grant made up his mind to train Harrison Port's own alchemy inscriber.

Not much else to say, as long as the alchemy inscription master can repair Zheng Lan a little bit, he will have the capital to suppress the entire Nanling.

As for the 'Apocalypse Armed Forces' of the fifth energy level and the 'Jigu Gods' which are not included in the comparison category...

Those are magical weapons that can enable high-level ascendants to fight against the army of great powers by themselves, and they are the basis for opening up a great power.

At present, the young man can't guess what those things are, but it can't be the final battle machine, or a strategic destructive weapon, right?Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……

It's really possible.

Ian never dared to underestimate the outrageousness of Terra Continent.

All in all, because Harrison Port is remote, it cannot show the whole picture of the Terra continent. Ian is well aware of this, so he understands that even if he will change the world in the future, he will be based in Harrison Port, in this natural location with excellent geographical advantages. Backing at the port, but he will still find an opportunity to go out for adventure and witness everything in this world.

But now it seems that this place is worthy of being the place where Emperor Inaiga specially instructed his cronies to open up a new port here.

There are really many relics of pre-civilization.

"It's a high-voltage power wireless transmission tower."

Slightly reducing the output of Fairy Wings, Ian used the high-density body of the sand armor apprentice to 'stand' in the deep sea, which was about a thousand meters deep, and then reached out to touch the surface of these tall stone trees.

He frowned: "But, why? Wireless transmission of power, which consumes a lot of energy, may be valuable if it is in space."

"But if it is in space, why do we have to use radio waves for transmission instead of directly using high-energy lasers?"

It is feasible to transmit electric energy wirelessly, but the attenuation will be severe after a long distance, and the loss is incredible. There is no practical use value in the planet's atmosphere.

But... Ian raised his head, he looked at the densely packed stone forest in front of him, and the thousands of wireless transmission towers, some didn't understand why these things were built in a coastal area... and they were so densely packed, there was no significance!

No, not right.

Maybe it's not construction... but storage.

Ian suddenly thought of something.

-Harrison Port is located in a tropical coastal area, very close to the equator.

——There is an extremely large group of pre-civilization relics here, so important that even Hilliard still remembers it in the past few decades, and will come back regularly to observe the anomaly.

——The great storm in the South China Sea is suspected to be caused by the abnormal heat dissipation of the energy supply system of the ruins. The teacher once said that there is a secret leading to the "high sky".

The gathering of all kinds of clues made Ian think of a possible answer.

"Could it be...the essence of the South China Sea ruins group...is it an equatorial orbital accelerator, or an orbital space elevator?"

That being said, there is an explanation for everything.

Ian is very clear that whether it is an orbital accelerator or an orbital space elevator, it needs to consume a huge amount of energy to operate continuously, and even requires a group of super giant nuclear fusion power plants to supply enough.

There is sufficient nuclear fusion fuel in the ocean, and it is also a natural cooling reservoir. The civilization of the pre-epoch must have considered all aspects before placing these facilities here.

And these wireless power transmission towers in front of my eyes...

As he suspected just now—these are things that are only useful in space.

It is estimated that the pre-epoch civilization of that year had already started building large-scale space facilities!But they have not yet completed the space industry center, so they still need to rely on orbital accelerators and space elevators to transport these high-tech industrial products from the planet to space orbit assembly.

The undersea rock forest in front of him... was just the parts of the space facility that was buried in the deep sea by the disaster before it could be transported to the sky.

An unfinished dream.

After thinking of this, Ian couldn't help sighing.

Regardless of whether the big storm was a 'natural disaster' caused by the heat dissipation of the orbital accelerator's power pack, he would now speculate based on this possibility—after all, if the reason for the recent monster mutation was actually the leakage of high-concentration nuclear fuel...

That's so reasonable.jpg
"What about the fish from before?"

After tidying up his thoughts and recording his guesses in his mind, Ian raised his head and looked around.

He saw the demon fish's lair under a stone tree.

This stone tree has been toppled and shattered, and the metal creation more than 1000 years ago has long been decayed into a shapeless shape, and a big fish piled it into a lid-like nest, entangled in it, and hibernated quietly.

In the vision of foreseeing, there is also a spiritual energy field in the lair of this demon fish.

and……

"It's very similar to the psionic field of Chaotan Cliff—no, it's exactly the same."

Ian narrowed his eyes, and he raised his head to stare at the dark deep sea, and looked in the direction of the Tantan Cliff, which is theoretically not far above his head: "Is the Tantan Cliff actually integrated with the bottom of the sea here? Say so Come... the strange lightning-attracting ability of Chao Tan Ya is probably also a manifestation of the relics of the civilization of the previous era."

"It's no wonder that such a magical fish that can discharge electricity can be raised."

After figuring out the cause of the devil fish lair and the stone forest under the sea, Ian relaxed his mind.

Today's plan to test Fairy Wings and Half Potions has been considered a complete success, even far exceeding expectations.

Theoretically speaking, it is very reasonable for Ian to go back on the spot at this moment.

But it's all here, so I must bring something back.

"I also saw a lot of monsters just now. If you don't catch monster fish, it should be no problem to catch a few familiar faces."

Thinking of this, Ian activated the Fairy Wings to push the water and began to patrol the surrounding deep sea.

The clean rock crystal bone can decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen, and provide Ian with oxygen. However, he is not a reef-eating sea otter after all. He has no air sacs in his body, so he cannot float up as fast as a sea otter, and consumes a lot of source quality.

Up to now, mobilizing the fairy wings and crystal bones has already consumed one-third of Ian's source quality... If he wants to keep the source quality for fighting with all his strength, then he will have to recover after 10 minutes of activity at most. Go ashore for a bite to eat and rest.

However, in Gu Long's core, the source quality that Ian has accumulated in the past four years can guarantee that Ian has a cruising time that is more than ten times that of the ordinary first energy level at critical moments.

So he is not particularly anxious.

With the foresight vision, it is really not too easy for Ian to find the hidden monsters and treasures hidden in the gravel reefs and deep sea.

Not long after, he found a huge 'rock' in a depression.

It is said to be a rock, but judging from the arc, it is known to be a huge giant clam, the size of more than half a person.
