The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1434: New participant

Horseshoe Reef, as its name suggests, is like a horseshoe. It is located in the middle of the Black Reef. It is one of the few toroids that can be used as a docking point for ships. It is just because the location of this reef is not on a safe route and there are many dangerous reefs nearby. And the turbulence of the seabed, so even if it has a good geographical advantage, it still has not been used.

Today, the peaceful Horseshoe Reef is ushered in a rare noise. Five medium-sized ships have successively arrived at the outer area of ​​Horseshoe Reef. After reaching a certain position, the sailors on the ship lowered the sails and made the five ships look like Like the five driftwoods, using the power of the undersea undercurrent here, they glide flexibly between the dangerous undersea reefs, and quickly enter the safe waters of the Horseshoe Reef.

The relationship between the five ships is obviously not very good. After entering the safe waters, they immediately found a place to put down the anchors, and then quietly waited for the time to leave. At this time, the muzzles on both sides of their ships were not closed, looking out. The hands and sailors also stayed on the deck, all watching vigilantly the conditions of the other four ships in the same waters.

"Damn it! How come these **** are also at this time..." Heresa looked angry when he saw the other four very familiar ships, but he suppressed his anger, and said to his first officer: " Let the people below take all their weapons and rest in four shifts. They cannot relax any vigilance."

   The first officer hesitated and said, "Head, if we do this, our energy will be consumed a lot. When it's time to sail, I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry, when we are going to set sail, we don't need manpower to operate the sails. We directly use the steam engine. We need to sail at full speed. The speed of the sails is too slow, and if we use sails, it is possible..." Heresa briefly explained Before I finished speaking, I felt that I didn’t need to make this kind of explanation, so he listened, gave the chief mate a fierce look, and said, “Let you do whatever you want, nonsense, it’s too much time to be the chief mate of a cargo ship. Long, have you forgotten the rules!"

   The first officer didn't care about Heresa's displeasure and reproach, he just smiled, then turned around and arranged crew shifts according to Heresa's instructions.

   Hailesa didn't care about the attitude of the first officer either, and then ordered him to go to the cabin to inform the guests, and let the guests stay in the cabin during this time, and try not to get on the deck.

  Actually, Hereza didn't know that when he ordered his men, his guests had already found out the situation of the other four ships, and he also found that the captains of the other four ships had asked his men to do similar things.

Leo learned about the conditions of these four ships through the spirit network. He found that the captains and sailors of the other four ships docked in Horseshoe Bay were smugglers and pirates, the only difference was that they were the same as Hareza and Petting. His main business is still pirates, smuggling is only incidental, and their relationship with Heresa is very complicated. In some cases, it is the relationship between collaborators and brothers, but now it is the relationship between quasi-enemy.

  The reason why these four ships appeared here is because they also came for the gold ship, and they planned to look for opportunities to rob the gold ship after the war began.

It stands to reason that these four ships should join the joint fleet formed by the Pirate Alliance. In fact, they did receive an invitation, but they all made the same decision, that is, not to join the joint fleet and still ship the golden ships. Idea.

It’s not difficult to guess what the captains of these four ships think. Obviously, after joining the pirate joint fleet, these ships can only be cannon fodder. May be swallowed up by others,

Therefore, the captains of the four ships chose to wait for the opportunity in the waters near the battlefield. Once they found a suitable opportunity on the Kakilan gold ship, they would rob the gold ship directly. As for the protection of the battleship of the gold ship, they did nothing at all. Don't care, because by then, the pirate combined fleet will naturally drag those **** warships.

   Regarding the bold actions taken by the captains of these four ships, Leo did not comment, nor was he interested. What he was really interested in was the extraordinary creatures hidden on the four ships.

The reason why it is said to be living creatures, not humans, is because through the scanning of the spiritual network, he found that there are several people on the four ships that look no different from humans, but the internal bones, internal organs and other organs are quite different from humans. .

   For example, a person has some organs that shouldn't be present in humans. Some are insects, some are animals, and some even Leo can't recognize what kind of organism they come from.

   There is also a person’s chest ribs that are all linked together, forming a shape similar to a plate armor in their body. Inside the plate armor bones, it is not an internal organ, but a mass of fire.

If it's just this kind of humanoid and non-human state, Leo wouldn't pay too much attention to them. What he really pays attention to is that these humanoid creatures are wearing some that far exceed the technological level of this era. Ultra-high-tech devices, and from some details, it can be seen that they are all using these devices, and they also use the communication devices in them to communicate with each other. Depending on the situation, they should all be in the same group.

   Leo told Sylvia about these discoveries. After listening to Sylvia, he thought about it and asked, "Does those ultra-high tech come from starry sky civilization?"

"It should not be." Leo shook his head and said: "The reason why it is called super high-tech is based on the average level of science and technology in the world. According to the current technological development, at least a large number of scientists and inventors are required to continue. It is possible to finally create devices used by extraordinary creatures after researching basic science, innovating and inventing related products for hundreds of years, but for the starry civilization, those devices are very primitive, and the steamships we currently use are in technology. The same horizontal line of grade."

Sylvia said in a deep voice: "In this case, it should be ruled out that they may have found some equipment in the relics of starry sky civilization, and then accidentally found a way to use it," she said, as if joking. , Said: "These technological devices may have been made by themselves, maybe."

"Made by myself?" Sylvia's words seemed to give Leo some inspiration. He once again used the spiritual net to penetrate the other four ships, carefully observed the devices that the extraordinary creatures were using, and then nodded, and said : "Yes, you are right. The various materials and processes used in the devices used by those people are indeed at the level of technology in this world, and those devices are indeed made by themselves."

"Didn't you say that these things have a technological gap of hundreds of years?" Sylvia asked puzzled, but she quickly remembered something and said: "Could it be that there are people in this world who are lucky enough to be instilled? Some advanced knowledge so..."

"It's possible that the situation is different now." Leo nodded, shook his head again, and emphasized: "You didn't hear what I said. I mean those inventions require the continuous development of current technology for hundreds of years. It is possible to be manufactured. The technological development of any civilization has a root thread, no matter how the subsequent technology evolves, or how much technological knowledge that does not belong to this civilization is absorbed, this root thread will not change or disappear If someone acquires advanced science and technology knowledge of starry sky civilization, then he will definitely be influenced by these science and technology knowledge far beyond the times, and use this knowledge as the root thread to develop science and technology."

   Perhaps Leo said too much, Sylvia didn't understand what Leo wanted to say for a while, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Leo sorted out his remarks, and said: "It's as if you were originally just a bug tumbling in a quagmire, but one day a force suddenly turned you into a human, and you have the wisdom that a human should have. And thoughts, in this case, will you continue to do things according to the thinking and ideas of the bug? Therefore, if someone obtains complete and advanced scientific and technological knowledge from the civilization of the universe, the various devices he made will never exist A trace of the technological context of this world. But the reality is that the devices used by those extraordinary creatures are developed from the technological context of this world, but the level of science and technology has advanced hundreds of years. It’s like a few hundred years ago. People have traveled through time and space and have come to this era. They have manufactured these equipment based on the technology hundreds of years later and the current manufacturing process."

   Sylvia, who had already understood it, guessed again: "Will that really be someone a few hundred years from now..."

"Impossible!" Leo directly denied this speculation, and said with certainty: "Time and space shuttles have been proven impossible. No matter how powerful the power is, it can even reorganize some physical laws in the real world, but But it cannot change the flow of time. All the abilities and laws about distorting time can only be established when time passes normally, and cannot reverse time, because time is beyond the universe and beyond everything. Even if the universe is destroyed, time remains exist."

As he said, he felt that he was a bit complicated, and he reorganized his words, took out a bottle, and said: "We are like people living in this bottle. No matter how powerful, we can only change what is in the bottle. Everything, and time is the ocean outside. How can we in the bottle change the ocean outside?"

   Sylvia looked at the bottle, stretched out her hand and flicked the bottle to smash the bottle, and then said, "But what if we break the bottle?"

   Leo answered seriously: "Everything about you from your body to your strength is based on the law in the bottle. If the bottle is broken, the law disappears? How can you continue to exist?"

   While speaking, he suddenly stopped again and motioned Sylvia not to speak, and then fell into deep thought. It seemed that the discussion just now reminded him of something.

After a while, he recovered from his meditation and said: "My judgment just now may be wrong. All my judgments are based on my past knowledge and cognition, which belongs to the cognition of the law in a certain bottle. , But the situation here is different now. Many times my cognition cannot be applied to the current world. So the time period you mentioned was reversed, and the time period from hundreds of years ago to the present may really be It may be done."

   Sylvia looked at Leo and couldn't help but wonder: "Why did your thoughts change so abruptly? What did you think of just now?"

   Leo said in a deep voice: "Do you remember the experience of Yamu Island I mentioned to you before?"

   "Oh! Our descendant who ran back to become a god!" Sylvia showed a daze, and then questioned: "Have you ever suspected that he might be fake?"

   "Does he need to pretend to be my offspring at the time?" Leo asked rhetorically.

"Who knows?" Sylvia shrugged playfully, and then said thoughtfully: "However, now I think the people who made these devices should not be the future people who reversed time and returned to this time period. NS."

   "Why?" Seeing Sylvia's change of mind, Leo couldn't help laughing: "Our thoughts seem to have changed positions."

"People are fickle." Sylvia also smiled and explained: "If he really reversed time, then he wouldn't be so boring to make these technological equipment? How could his goal be? Aiming at the gods?"

   Leo also said jokingly: "Maybe the person who reversed time was aiming at the gods."

   It's just that after saying this, he immediately fell into contemplation as if he had been inspired, and Sylvia on the side was in the same situation, and she also entered a state of thinking.

   After a while, the two of them got out of contemplation, and the expressions on each other's faces became serious.

   "What do you think?" Sylvia asked nonchalantly.

   And Leo seemed to understand Sylvia's meaning, but he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he unfolded the spiritual net again and carefully checked the conditions of the special transcendent creatures.

After a while, he retracted the spiritual network and said: "Those devices should be some kind of energy detection equipment. If you guessed correctly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, they should be arranged on those ships to collect the gods in this world. The energy information of the gods. Although I don’t know to what extent those devices can collect, it is foreseeable that only those who are interested in becoming gods will collect this energy information. Once the mysteries contained in these gods’ powers are mastered , Then the road to becoming a **** will become extremely magnanimous."

   Sylvia said, "So, those supernatural creatures on the ship are the dependents of someone trying to become a god?"

Leo shook his head and said, "The family members may not be appropriate. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe them as followers. I haven't found any characteristics and traces of the family members in those transcendent creatures. They are more like being born. This situation is like some kind of non-human intelligent race."

   "Are there any non-human intelligent races?" Sylvia still had some doubts.

"Of course, have you forgotten the elves in Tousent?" Leo said: "They are even more civilized than humans. They are also non-human intelligent races, but they look similar to humans in appearance. Like the extraordinary creatures on those ships now."

"If you don't tell me, I have forgotten a bit." Sylvia quickly recalled Tousant's experience, with a smile on his face, and then suggested: "Should we go to those boats for a stroll? ! I am also very curious about the non-human intelligent races in this world."
