Chapter 188 Science and Mystery
"How about two thousand cigarettes?"

This great scientist is quite rich and powerful, and he said "astronomical figures" when he opened his mouth. It is not difficult to see how much he likes smartphones.

Two thousand cigarettes is more than enough to buy five sacred objects in the old man's antique shop.

A pack of cigarettes is about twenty, and a pack of cigarettes is two hundred... There are ten cigarettes in two thousand!Almost a full box!

These cigarettes are not worth much in the real world, but in the lost city where supplies are scarce, they are tantamount to a huge sum of money!Converted into a way that is easy for modern people to understand, that is a large box full of gold!

"not enough."

Kles shook his head, and quickly snatched the phone back from Cameron: "You must know the value of this item better than me. Do you really think it's only worth two thousand cigarettes?"

"You...don't be so rough! What if you break it?"

The mobile phone was taken away, and Cameron couldn't help shouting: "Isn't it just cigarettes, three thousand is enough? Hurry up and give it back to me! It's a waste of money for you to hold this kind of advanced technology!"

"Buy it now, four thousand sticks"

Kress held out four fingers.

Zhou Ze in front of the screen was stunned.

If he was the one who bargained, although he wouldn't be able to sell the cigarettes directly when Cameron asked for [-] cigarettes, he might agree to it when the price reached [-] cigarettes for the second time... I didn't expect Kleis to ask for more Continue to raise prices.

"I don't have that many cigarettes."

Cameron supported the mirror frame, frowned and said, "Don't you want to get in touch with the real world, leave this cursed place and return to Earth? Just give me the phone for research, and I will be able to..."

[Option ①: Come on, don’t write empty promises, I just want cigarettes. 】

[Option ②: Oh?Tell me, how do you plan to connect with the real world? 】

It's time to decide the direction of the plot.

Do you believe that Cameron has a chance to start a side story?Or reject the possibility of this side plot, just cigarettes?

If you regard "Old Exile" as a pure game, it is not difficult to find that the key collector and scientist Cameron are two parallel branches with different but the same purpose, one uses science and the other uses occultism, try to Escape from this cursed lost city.

Maybe in the process of trying, you can find the secret to exile the old days.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhou Ze decisively chose to develop a branch plot.

He didn't think about a customs clearance in this save file, anyway, it was all for gathering information. No matter how many cigarettes and sacred artifacts there were, they were just for stockpiling materials to go further, and they might not necessarily be converted into corresponding information.

"Tell me, how do you plan to get in touch with the real world? Do you rely on this mess?"

Kress mercilessly despised the pile of seemingly complicated but actually useless mechanical instruments in front of him.

With knowledge instilled in him, he knows that modern technology has already developed to an unimaginable height.

Even modern technology can't break through the barrier of time and space, so how can it be done just by relying on this messy pile of scrap metal spliced ​​together?

"Don't underestimate science!"

Cameron, who has always been calm, blushed and said loudly: "And I have achieved results!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly walked to the most complicated instruments hanging on the wall, adjusting the buttons and dials in a dazzled but regular manner.

There are incomprehensible strange sounds from the speakers on both sides of the instrument, like meaningless noise, but if you listen carefully, you will find that the sound is very regular, and there are some hard-to-hear frequencies mixed in, rumbling like thunder, listening for a long time It might even make you dizzy...

Cameron made a shush gesture: "Did you hear that?! This voice?"

"Isn't it noise?" Chris wondered.

"It's not noise, it's a message!"

Cameron said excitedly: "And this message is not sent from Azka! It is sent from somewhere farther away! It must be some unknown creature from another world trying to communicate with me!"

Kress listened to Cameron's continuation with great interest.

"A signal from another world! My radio has received a signal from another world! Do you understand what this means?"

Cameron talked about his invention with eloquence: "I have been working on a new long-wave radio system. I have been doing research as early as before the catastrophe came. I was making a 300-watt spark transmitter instead of the usual one. 250-watt transmitter, and trying to use a battery-free receiver.”

"This radio machine can send and receive signals over very long distances."

"Since this device can even receive signals from other worlds! This means that I have the opportunity to communicate with our original world!"

Cameron became more and more excited as he spoke, and his excited face flushed.

"If I can find the source of the signal and expand the radio's search range, I can further improve the spectrometer so we can get in touch with the world! As long as I can get in touch with the outside world, there must be a chance to escape this damn hell !"

The more Zhou Ze in front of the screen listened, the more he felt that this guy's words were a bit too idealistic.

Could it be that Cameron was too eager to use the radio to find other signals, so obsessed that he mistook the noise for a signal from another world?

I always feel that things are strange and not so real...

It's hard not to be suspicious.

Although I dare not say that this noise is really a signal from another world, in Zhou Ze's opinion, the probability is not high, but Cameron's words are conclusive, making it hard not to doubt whether he has gone crazy .

In the Lost City where lunatics are everywhere, it is normal to be crazy.

Living in this depressive environment for up to five years, every resident here may be more or less mentally ill.

"Speaking of which, the rhetoric of the old man in the antique shop actually doesn't hold water after careful scrutiny."

The old man just had a dream about the key, and he believed that the key had mysterious power to open the door to escape from this cursed city.

But combined with his obsession with collecting keys since he was a child, and the suppressed idea of ​​escaping from the city in his mind... as the so-called day and night dream, these two strong obsessions are intertwined, and it is not impossible to have a dream thing.

In other words, the old man in the antique shop may also be crazy.

Thinking that you have found a way to escape is actually just a futile self-deception.

"Are the two side plots of trying to escape from the Lost City true or false? Or, both may be the ravings of a lunatic? Or both may be true? It's hard to judge...there are too few clues."

Whether it is the old man in the antique shop or Cameron's rhetoric has some basis, but it cannot stand scrutiny.

What's more terrible is that they each have professional knowledge in science and mysticism. Even if the fantasy is not purely unfounded fantasy, the truth of this kind of professional problem is definitely not something that a layman like Zhou Ze can see through at a glance.
On the other hand, Zhou Ze suspects that these two guys despise each other's research. Apart from the mutual incompatibility between science and occultism, it may also be the illusion of two lunatics despising each other...

"It's really a city full of madness."

I deeply feel the twisted and profound madness behind "Exile from the Past".

Zhou Ze muttered to himself: "The time I was almost cheated by the bar owner, the game popped up a prompt saying [In the Lost City, it's about profit, don't trust anyone easily], now it seems that it is true, we must be cautious... I can't believe what these NPCs say."
