The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Remember [New] for a second,! After listening to Leo's response, everyone present looked at Leo in shock, and many people's eyes were also mixed with suspicion.

Only, Sylvia completely believed Leo's words, and before the others had recovered, she asked curiously, "What is this thing?"

Leo replied plainly: "Toys. Toddlers developed by Morse people."

This answer instantly made everyone laugh. They couldn't understand Leo's name for the alien technological civilization Mors in Earth Federation language, but they could understand Leo's word toy in Teresa. .

In their opinion, how could a prehistoric civilization relic that could not be deciphered by countless people in the entire academy and could not be deciphered even by the gods, an object so miraculous and great that even the gods could not be able to be a toy for children? It is absurd and ridiculous to see a rich man dressed in gold and silver as a beggar.

However, even if he was laughed at by the people around him, Leo did not intend to explain further, because in his opinion, it is very complicated to tell his understanding of this thing in Teresa, and it cannot be explained in a few words. , and there will definitely be a lot of special nouns that people around you can't understand, and when you have to explain those nouns, the whole process will be very troublesome.

In the universe, there are a total of seven alien races who use the specific pronunciation of Morse as their own race, but only one Morse is a medium-sized cosmic civilization with a technological level close to a high civilization, and the remaining six alien Morse are all It is a low-level civilization that has just realized the technology of inter-galactic navigation, so once no galaxy name prefix is ​​added to call the Morse civilization in the universe, it refers to the Morse civilization of medium technology civilization.

The Morse people are very huge, and they are like giants compared to the earth people. Even the largest road animal on the earth, the elephant, is like a kitten in front of an adult Morse people.

In the civilization of the Morse people, the cube is very sacred. They believe that the cube contains all the mysteries of the universe. in this way.

When the Morse people were young children, their elders would use a very special energy metal on their planet to make a perfect cube, and let the Morse people play with them and let them study this perfection through the various knowledge they have learned. Cube until its adulthood, so this perfect cube is also the only toy for Morse toddlers, and the only school supplies.

Leo was not surprised that this toy belonging to a Morse child would appear here, because the perfect cube used by this Morse child will be discarded after it becomes an adult, and some have contact with the Morse. The new cosmic civilization will buy these things, and then resell them to some emerging cosmic civilizations that have just entered the universe and are still in a state of ignorance.

Because the perfection of this cube creation has almost reached the pinnacle of the technology of medium-sized cosmic civilizations, those rural civilizations who have not been exposed to higher civilizations will feel extremely magical about this kind of thing, and even produce an inexplicable kind of thing. The emotion of worship is the same as the people in this black house now.

And because the material used in this perfect cube is a very special energy metal, although its energy intensity is not particularly strong, the energy exhaustion period is as long as one billion, and this nearly eternal energy source is even more of those low-level universes. civilization has never touched.

Therefore, those low-level cosmic civilizations often buy this perfect cube at an extraordinary price, and the price is often measured in galaxies. For example, the Earth Federation has completed the initial development with four, and all the infrastructure has been laid. colonized galaxies, bought ten such perfect cubes.

Without exception, any low-level cosmic civilization that buys this perfect cube with a lot of money will eventually end up with regret, because when they have the ability to access higher-level cosmic civilizations, they will find that the value of this perfect cube is even inferior. An ordinary planet-class fighter.

Although this perfect cube has caused the Earth Federation to experience an incomparably huge non-war loss, making the Earth Federation a synonym for idiots in various jokes for a long time, the people of the Earth Federation are not disgusted by this perfect cube, on the contrary Because of its stable energy source and low price, many alien colonies of the Earth Federation will purchase some of these perfect cubes as a source of living energy for the colonies.

Although the energy intensity of this perfect cube cannot drive some too strong energy weapons, it is still enough to provide stable energy output to the living area and recharge some low-level energy weapons, so as long as it is an alien colony of the Earth Federation Almost every settlement can see a perfect cube like this.

In fact, before entering the black house, Leo had already vaguely guessed that there must be a perfect cube in the black house, because the rumors about the wonders and visions of the black house made him directly think of the colonial settlement's influence on this perfect cube. Instructions.

For example, the giant of light, which is regarded as imprisoned by the gods, is actually just a recorded projection. On the colonized planet, the environment is very harsh, and even some energy storms often occur. The biggest problem caused by energy storms is that the colonization site The communication between them was interrupted, and they did not know each other's situation, so they could not take rescue and other actions in time.

So people who have colonized settlements invented a device. When the energy storm cuts off communication, they can use this device to input their own images into the perfect cube, and then pass the energy particles that must occur every time in the perfect cube. The eruption effect projects images into the air so that other settlements hundreds of miles away can also see them, so as to convey information and understand the situation through image sign language.

As for the black hole that devours light, it is an energy wave absorption function, and its function is to prevent the scanning waves emitted by space pirate ships in space.

For a long time, the colonized galaxies of the Earth Federation, especially the colonized galaxies near the edge of the Earth Federation star field, would be attacked by various cosmic pirates, and it was difficult for the Earth Federation at that time to carry out effective defense. Attack, colonizing the galaxy can only rely on its own strength to resist, the best state is to drag the cosmic pirates to the arrival of the Earth Federation fleet, annihilate them, and the worst case is to colonize the galaxy when the Earth Federation fleet arrives It has been looted by space pirates.

In this case, the residents of the settlements on the colonized stars could only hide themselves and wait for the war to pass, so the people in the settlements used the properties of perfect cubes to absorb light wave particles to create a light wave black hole, allowing themselves to be in the The space pirate's scanner is invisible.

For cosmic pirates, it takes a lot of time and energy to land on and out of the planet's gravity. Unless something worthy of looting is found, they seldom land directly on the ground to loot, and most of them loot outer space. space transfer station.

So, with this protection, colonial settlements on the ground are often able to escape the raids of space pirates.

The reason why Leo is so familiar with this perfect cube is because the method of using the perfect cube is still very practical even in Leo’s time. Almost all the planets settled by the Earth Federation have many such perfect cubes, and the number is as large as the number of them. Like common living facilities such as toilets, in this case, Leo would naturally not have any mood swings for this perfect cube.

Because other people around didn't believe Leo's so-called toy argument and thought he was just joking or grandstanding, so everyone's attention was no longer on Leo, but Sylvia and Queen Teresa were almost the same His appearance became the center of everyone's attention, and many people showed curious expressions, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

Dean Thomas on the side immediately took the initiative to introduce Sylvia's identity, but he may have been instructed by Queen Teresa to add a royal identity of Teresa to the introduction. As for whether the two are twin sisters Such doubts did not continue.

On the contrary, when introducing Leo, he increased his tone, explained Leo's deeds in the academy in detail for more than a month, and used the results of the research projects Leo has completed and is completing to prove Lei. Ou's excellent level, using almost explicit hints to remind everyone that they can ask Leo about the research difficulties they encountered.

However, Dean Thomas obviously underestimated the self-esteem of the scholars present. Each of them is a leader in their respective disciplines. Being able to be selected into the study of the Black House proves that they are the best in the city. Now Thomas Academy The boss asked them to ask a newcomer about the difficulties of the research project, which undoubtedly accused them of lack of ability, which made their self-esteem unacceptable by any means.

Therefore, after Dean Thomas introduced Leo, the inquiries he expected did not appear. All scholars stopped looking at Leo and returned to the original research state. Even some of them were prepared to come to Queen Teresa. The scholars who greeted him all turned around and returned to their research area, ignoring Leo and the others.

Dean Thomas didn't understand what he had done wrong, and his face was a little dazed. Instead, Queen Teresa and Duke Belmont looked at the dean of the outer court personally selected by the previous king with strange eyes. Was the previous king's choice wrong?

Leo doesn't care about other people's attitudes. Instead, he is more willing to see the current situation. No one bothers him. He can do what he wants to do. place.

Most of the so-called prehistoric civilization relics in the black house were moved from other places. For example, the perfect cube should have been transported and stored from other places.

Except for the perfect cube, all the items are various devices made by the Earth Federation, ranging from life to weapons.

In addition, some of these items were not moved, but were originally on this land. That is to say, there was once a relic left by the colonists of the Earth Federation on the top of the mountain where the fifth urban area of ​​the academic city was located. The house was built from the remains of the ruins.

For example, the console Leo is looking at now is one of the relic items at the original site, and he can also guess the relic from the function of this console, the surrounding equipment, and some things in the rumors of the black house. It is likely to be a prison at first, because the console in front of Leo is a mind control device used by the early days of the Earth Federation colonial star administration to transform prisoners.

Because the composition of the members of the early colonial exploration fleet was very complex, except for some ordinary people who voluntarily participated in alien exploration, such as the poor, bankrupt and adventurers, most of the members were criminals and felons. They wanted to reduce their sentences. , and in order to leave the depressing prison, he will choose to join the pioneering fleet and go to the colonial star to reclaim.

Because they are far away from the Earth Federation Civilization Center, the emotions of ordinary people will be easily affected by the outside world. Although those criminals cannot do anything illegal because of the imprisoned device, they can agitate the emotions of ordinary people and turn those ordinary people into one. Little by little is brought into their criminal thinking, so those colony stars, especially border colony stars, are often rampant with crimes, so prisons have become the most important infrastructure of all colony stars.

However, because the population is very precious in the eyes of the colonial star government, as long as they are not felons, they will not be imprisoned in prisons. Even felons are rarely sentenced to death. Criminals who commit serious damage or commit murder are sentenced to death. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

And those criminals who were imprisoned in prison and were not sentenced to death must be released after the prison's mind control device to clean their memory and reshape their personality after serving their sentence. It's called mental castration.

However, because of the subsequent public opinion, and the development of the colonial star has entered the late stage, the infrastructure has been completed, and the social structure of the later stage has been consolidated, the Earth Federal Government no longer needs to mentally castrate criminals, and the population is no longer the same as the original. The pioneering period was so precious that such prisons were all abandoned.

However, that kind of mind control device did not withdraw from the stage of history. Instead, it was misappropriated by the Earth Federation Government to other places, including the production factory of biochemical humans. Any new biochemical person must accept the mind control device. Personality remodeling, allowing the biochemical man to obtain the mental state of a mature warrior in a short time.

Leo accepted this kind of personality remodeling back then, but he not only obtained the mental state of a mature warrior, but also obtained some other things that are still unclear. The reason for being different, and even he now suspects that everything that happened to him, stemmed from that personality remodeling.

So, when he saw this familiar mind control device again, he was immediately attracted to it.
