The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Spectacular is the only feeling that anyone who sees such a giant arch bridge has, and the subsequent thought is that this building should not exist, and that what he sees is just a fantasy or something.

In fact, not only people who see this arch bridge for the first time will have this idea, even if they have lived in the academic city for many years, scholars who have walked back and forth on this arch bridge do not know how many times when they see the arch bridge , still produce similar mood swings.

The giant arch bridge hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters wide spans from the top of the mountain here to the top of the opposite mountain. The clouds and mists in the mountains float under the arch bridge. Walking on the arch bridge is like walking in the sky. This kind of shock cannot be felt anywhere else.

Even Sylvia lost her mind for a long time when she saw the arch bridge, and then recovered from the shock, not to mention Penny and Joan, they could only stare blankly at the sight in front of them. Arch bridge, unable to resist repeating words like miracles.

Whether it's Sylvia, Penny, Joan and the others, the emotions they show are normal to Delkan, because in their memory, they haven't seen the kind of giant arch bridge that they saw for the first time. People who don't show similar shocked expressions.

But they soon discovered that the first exception seemed to appear, because Leo's calmness made people wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes, whether the magnificent giant arch bridge in front of him had become air in front of him. .

"Mr. Leo, have you ever seen this kind of arch bridge before?" Delkan couldn't help but wonder and asked Leo.

"No." Leo shook his head and said.

Delkan asked again, "Then why do you seem so calm? Isn't this building shocking enough?"

"It's shocking. According to the current world's construction technology and capabilities, it is absolutely impossible to build such a giant arch bridge. However, now this kind of arch bridge actually exists, and there are more than one." Leo said, his line of sight While moving to the distance, he looked at several other similar arch bridges across the mountain peaks, then withdrew his gaze, turned to listen, and said calmly: "It's just that I've seen buildings that are a thousand times or ten thousand times more spectacular than this arch bridge. So this arch bridge doesn't impress me."

"A thousand times spectacular, ten thousand times?" Hearing Leo's words, both Delkan and Boll subconsciously felt that Leo was bragging, but then they saw the calmness on Leo's face, and then they agreed. They felt that what Leo said might be true, and they couldn't imagine in their hearts what was a thousand or ten thousand times more spectacular than this arch bridge, perhaps only the legendary palace of the gods could do it.

At this time, the others also recovered from the shock of the arch bridge building. Boll continued to lead the crowd towards the second city opposite the arch bridge. In the process, Delkan moved towards Leo and Sylvia. Introduce some stories about this arch bridge, most of which are the research of an architectural scholar on the construction method of the arch bridge, etc.

At the same time, while listening to Delkan's introduction, Leo used the mental network to check the situation of the arch bridge, looking for the construction mysteries in the arch bridge.

However, this question that has plagued various scholars and architects in the academic city for many years has been solved by Leo after only two or three scans through the mental network. He can be quite sure that the construction process of these arch bridges across the mountains is absolutely Used the Stone Reshaper specially designed for colonists by the Earth Federation.

Under normal circumstances, colonial spaceships use special colony cabins as their residences. The materials and equipment used in this colony cabin can be used normally for a long time. This time can last for thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years. There were still early Earth colony capsules in use at that time.

However, the number of colony cabins is limited. Once the colonization of the planet enters the mid-term and the population begins to grow explosively, the colony cabin will definitely be insufficient. Therefore, local building materials must be used to build dwellings, and in order to facilitate the construction of desired and various The shape of the dwelling, the stone reshaper that can reshape the shape of various stones according to the desired shape came into being.

The early stone reshapers were very large, equivalent to a fifty-seat land chariot, but by the time of Leo, the stone reshapers had been miniaturized, similar to an ordinary rifle.

The special rays emitted from the stone reshaper can make most of the rocks clayey, and then the clayed rocks can be changed in shape manually or mechanically, and then irradiated by curing light to make them back to a hard state.

Rocks reshaped by this method will have a common characteristic, that is, the density of the rock will increase several times or even ten times than before shaping, because the curing light of the stone reshaper not only restores the hardness, but also restores the hardness. It's compressing the rock, making it denser, so this type of rock is not only stronger than normal rock, it's also heavier.

Although Leo had never seen the honey gold stone used in the construction of the arch bridge, he could not compare the density difference between the two kinds of stone, but he could laterally infer from the density of the stone in the arch bridge how strong a high-pressure environment was needed to produce such a high-density stone. The musculoskeletal strength of life produced in such a high-pressure environment is definitely far greater than that of civilian steel.

Therefore, Leo will immediately judge that the honey gold stone used in the arch bridge is definitely not produced in a normal environment, but a stone that has been re-solidified by a similar stone reshaper. Only this kind of stone with a ten-fold increase in strength can It can hang hundreds of meters in the air without other supports without being crushed by its own weight.

The expression on Leo's face, who had already solved the mystery of the construction of the arch bridge, changed slightly, while Sylvia on the side was familiar with what the change in Leo's expression represented, so he asked tentatively, "You have already solved this kind of change. The secret of the construction of the arch bridge?"

Leo nodded slightly, but was still a little conservative, and said: "Eighty or ninety percent has been confirmed, and the remaining 10 percent can only be fully confirmed by finding the equipment at the time of construction."

Although there are people on the arch bridge, there are not many people. In addition to scholars and students from different urban areas, there are more architectural scholars and students who are obsessed with studying the mysteries of the construction of the arch bridge. Because the surrounding environment is very empty, even Leo The voice of talking to Sylvia was very low, but it could still be heard clearly by many people, which made many people couldn't help but look at Leo and Sylvia.

However, after these people just glanced at Leo and Sylvia, they immediately withdrew their attention with a look of ridicule or contempt, and continued to do their own things. Obviously, they all regarded Leo And Sylvia as a grandstanding person.

It's no wonder they think so. After all, the construction mysteries of these arch bridges across the mountains have plagued the academic city for many years. Countless architects from all over the world have not been able to study any useful clues. Countless fantastic ideas. The guess was overturned, but now a stranger suddenly said that he had solved the mystery of the construction of the arch bridge. How could other people around the arch bridge not think that the other party was grandstanding.

However, Delkan, who knew something about Leo and knew that Leo had extraordinary knowledge, did not treat Leo the same way as others, but instead asked expectantly: "Mr. Leo, you have really cracked the code of this arch bridge. Build a mystery?"

Delkan's inquiry once again attracted the attention of some people, and some of them also recognized Delkan's identity, and did not understand why this well-known tutor in the academy would question such an obvious lie.

However, Leo did not give a positive response to the other party, but simply asked: "I remember that the stone used for this arch bridge is honey gold stone? Are you sure?"

"Of course it is certain that the stone of the arch bridge meets all the characteristics of honey gold stone." Delkan responded, not far away, and an architecture instructor who led the students to study the structure of the arch bridge couldn't help but stood up and said.

"Don't be so sure, let's compare the hardness and weight before talking!" Leo smiled and looked at the architecture instructor, gave a simple hint, and then seemed to have no plans to continue, and continued to walk across the arch bridge.

After the architecture instructor heard Leo's words, he did not immediately refute, but froze in place, as if he really got something else, and the students around him also looked at his teacher with puzzled expressions. .

At this time, Delkan, who was next to Leo, also showed a thoughtful expression on his face. Obviously, Leo's hint not only touched the inspiration of the architecture tutor, but also made him not born in architecture. Delkan also thought of something.

The stone used for the arch bridge is the use of honey gold stone, which is a fact recognized by all scholars engaged in the study of arch bridges, because the person who discovered this was the most outstanding master of geology and architecture of the year. In the eyes of everyone, this master is absolutely impossible to judge. If the type of stone used in the building is wrong, and the characteristics of the honey gold stone are so obvious, even ordinary students of geology or architecture can judge that there is no possibility of error in the eyes of many people.

Because of this, later arch bridge researchers have also focused their research on the construction method, but no one has really questioned the problem of stone, and no one will knock down a piece of material from the arch bridge to match the same weight of honey gold stone. Make a comparison, otherwise, previous researchers should easily be able to find that there is a huge gap between the stone used for building the arch bridge and the honey gold stone in terms of hardness and weight. The gap is so large that it can even be regarded as two materials.

Just after Leo and the others walked a distance, there was a sudden commotion behind them. Everyone looked back and saw that several Xuecheng city guards who were responsible for the safety of the arch bridge had pressed the previous architecture instructor to the ground. And the instructor was holding a small hammer in his hand, and the surrounding students looked at the chaos in front of them all at a loss.

Looking at this scene, it is not difficult to guess what happened just now. Obviously, the scholar and tutor of architecture was inspired by Leo, and wanted to directly knock a piece off the railing of the arch bridge and bring it back to compare the density and weight. , it happened to be discovered by the city guards who were patrolling back and forth, and he was arrested as a saboteur.

The reason why the city guards have such a big reaction is that in addition to the importance of the arch bridge itself, the more important thing is that it has happened more than once before. The arch bridge is the key point they are targeting. For this reason, the city will send guards at both ends and in the middle of the arch bridge to be responsible for the safety. Of course, the outer school city only claims to prevent people walking on the arch bridge from being too addicted to the surrounding scenery, so they jump in. Jump down, so they will send people to protect the safety.

Delkan looked at the scholar mentor who was under the city guard and kept explaining his purpose. He had a feeling of wanting to laugh, but at the same time, he felt a little bit of fear, because he had moved just now, and now he started knocking. The idea of ​​the next piece of debris, after all, the attraction of solving the mystery of arch bridge construction is too great, even if he is not engaged in the discipline of architecture, it is equally difficult to resist the temptation to solve the mystery.

"This bridge can't be destroyed with a hammer." Leo looked at the situation behind, and then looked at Delkan and Boll, who still had eager expressions on their faces, and reminded.

As he said, after the density of the bridge's honey-gold stone has increased so much, its hardness has far exceeded that of normal rocks, let alone a hammer, even if it is loaded on the steam train of the ring road at full speed. It does not necessarily allow the surface to be damaged.

Therefore, in Leo's view, if the management of the academy knew the hardness of these arch bridges, then they would send so many city guards to put their hands on the arch bridges. The purpose is probably not to protect the arch bridges, but to take advantage of them. In this way, UU reading www.uukanshu.com makes those anti-academic city forces misunderstood, thinking that the arch bridge is easy to be destroyed, and then uses the arch bridge as a bait and trap to lure those anti-academic city forces to take the bait.

The group did not stop to watch the follow-up development of the matter, and continued to walk towards the second city. On the way, Delkan and Boer lost the enthusiasm of introducing Leo to the situation of the school city. They were all full of thoughts. The look in Leo's eyes also became strange, as if there were a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to speak.

Leo didn't have the idea of ​​answering their questions either. He and Sylvia's thoughts at the moment were both on feeling the increasing suppressing and repulsive forces around them.

As they approached the second city, they all found that the situation in the second city was completely different from the first city. It seemed to be shrouded in an invisible restricted area. This restricted area was somewhat similar to the effect of the law of the world. Those with extraordinary power have a certain suppression and weakening effect on any extraordinary power, and this effect is hard not to be reminiscent of the phenomenon of the forbidden land that once appeared in the Teresa Kingdom, so There are also rumors in the outside world that the academic city has mastered the method of creating a forbidden land.

However, when Leo and Sylvia felt this invisible forbidden area for extraordinary power, they immediately thought of not the forbidden place, but the energy jammer of Velen world.
