When Tust raised this question, everyone immediately fell into deep thought.
Where did the airship come from
How did it fall
In fact, Renn had thought about this issue as early as when he first obtained Baron Morin's diary and learned about the existence of the wreckage of the airship.
Others may not find this strange, but for travelers who have discovered traces of extraterrestrial civilizations in their previous lives, it is not difficult to understand.
This airship must have come from a more civilized place.
Somewhere in the fog, there may be a more civilized country.
However, the level of civilization will not be much higher.
It is also a steam-powered mechanical city, and this unknown civilization that came by airship, from Tust's professional perspective, is about fifty years ahead of their time.
He is higher than this era, but not higher than him.
The six-armed mecha that Tust was able to create was twenty years ahead of its time.
But in fact, many of his ideas are much higher than the actual objects.
Many of the machines in his mind cannot be built, not because of his personal ability, but because of the limitations of the general environment of the times.
Just like Ilubek, many of his biological theories have been far ahead of this era, but many of them remained at the theoretical stage due to limitations of research instruments.
The large-scale machinery and equipment that Tust wanted to build also required large-scale factories with high-precision hardware, not private workshops.
Therefore, Tust understands the mechanical design principles of this airship better than Pierre and the mechanics from the Imperial Capital of Omar. Many ordinary mechanics find super-level technology completely incomprehensible, but he can figure it out after a little trial.
... ... .
Toust posed the question.
At this time, Ilubek took out a bone sample and gave some of his analysis, saying: "We found some human bones in the airship. Judging from the shape of the bones, the bones on this airship mechanical city are Humans are no different from us, even slightly shorter. But looking at the gene chains, I detected that most of the people on the airship have twenty-nine gene chains! But strangely, their bone strength is universal It’s on the low side. Whether it’s extraordinary magic or extraordinary power, it’s much lower than the fifth level we know... "
After hearing this, everyone had a prepared idea of the strength of the people on board the mechanical airship. Most of them were fifth-level extraordinary beings!
For the humans in the Ice Ridge Wasteland, the fifth-level powerhouses are the top level of extraordinary beings. But in that unknown civilization, there seemed to be quite a few.
And for some reason, their physical fitness is not as good as the fifth-level extraordinary in normal perception.
While everyone was deep in thought, Ilubek continued: "Over the years, I have been studying the 'effect of fog concentration on living things', and I have also discovered a rule: the concentration of fog is directly proportional to the physical strength of the extraordinary. .”
After a pause, he concluded: "So, I have a guess... The people on the airship may have come from an area where the fog is very light, or there is no fog at all. Therefore, their bone strength is It’s much lower than the fifth-level transcendent in our Ice Ridge Wasteland.”
This gap made everyone present immediately think of the difference between themselves and the strong Coleman warriors.
Even at the same rank, the Coleman warrior who has exposed his respiratory tract in the fog all year round is much stronger than the extraordinary person wearing a gas mask!
At present, in the Ice Ridge Wasteland, although the fog concentration varies locally, the difference is not so big that people can clearly feel the impact of the fog concentration on the body.
But now that the [Black Tide] has erupted, the extraordinary beings shrouded in black mist have all felt the "level-skipping" increase in their cultivation efficiency.
Therefore, everyone can immediately understand what Ilubek said.
The fog does not cover the entire world. These people on the airship are most likely from outside the fog!
... ...
But another doubt arises here, that is, why are all the corpses on the airship fifth level
At this time, the ability of science to trace the source is fully demonstrated.
"This is a rib of a living corpse from 50,000 years ago."
At this time, Irubek took out another black corpse and said: "Because of this black tide, some ancient corpses from ancient times came to the surface from the underground. I also tested a large number of samples and found that A few ancient human corpses have more than 30 gene chains! But after their resurrection, without exception, there are no existences beyond the fifth level... "
There are twenty-nine gene chains for a fifth-level powerhouse. Exceeding this number means that those bones are beyond the fifth level.
This also made everyone's faces become more and more solemn, and an idea that has troubled this world for many years unconsciously appeared in their minds.
In the past, there were clearly transcendent beings who could transcend the fifth level, why not now
Although the "legend" of this world now is the end of extraordinary beings, this land was once said to have given birth to powerful gods!
Ren has come into contact with many legendary powerhouses now, but without exception, they all say that the extraordinary power of legends is as far away from the divine level as clouds and mud.
Even advancing to "Legendary" requires a "divine power crystal" condensed with a trace of the divine power left by the gods back then. How powerful can you imagine the power of God
The strongest people in the world are only at level 5, and the people on the airships who may come from the world outside the fog are also at level 5...
A certain idea in everyone's mind became clearer and clearer, as if "the fifth level of extraordinary" was a hurdle and restricted something.
... ...
All the conversations were translated by Udo to the Mafa Witch Festival.
At this moment, the old man who had been silent since the meeting suddenly spoke, "I think some legends passed down by our ancestors of the Coleman tribe can give you some ideas on this question."
As soon as Wu Duo translated in common language, everyone looked over with an attentive expression.
At this time, Mafa said: "Our tribe exists to protect the temple of the god Morogos... But as we all know, the god is no longer on this land. Legend has it that during the Munkel period, the [Black Emperor] Lord Moises ruled this land... Later, a great war broke out. Lord Moises and his seventy-two generals were defeated and fell, and this land lost its light... . ”
Coleman's legends are all somewhat mysterious, just like the prophecies of [Black Tide].
"The earth has lost its light", does it refer to the fog that envelopes the earth
It turns out that the reason why the Munkel civilization suddenly ended was also because of war
Everyone understood that the [Black Emperor] was defeated...
That means there is a winner!
But as we all know, the inheritance of all the extraordinary people in the Ice Ridge Wasteland comes from the inheritance of the seventy-two ancient divine generals. In any ruins on this continent, there are no traces of any other civilization during that era except the Munkel civilization.
So who is the victor
Could it be a civilization from outside the fog
Mafa continued: "And this land, in the information passed down by our ancestors, is also called the 'Graveyard of Gods'... This is a cursed land."
"The cursed earth?"
When Ren heard this, he connected it with certain clues in his mind.
Although a lot of the Coleman clan's heritage has been lost, it is much more complete than the two empires.
With this said, everyone has an increasingly clear concept.
This continent is the cemetery where the gods of the defeated Munkel civilization are buried. For some reason, the victorious side completely left here...
Even, for some reason, after the defeat, this world suddenly had a "curse".
That may be the reason why no matter how extraordinary people practice in the Ice Ridge Wasteland, the fifth level is the end!
At this time, Kanosha, who is also a legend, asked solemnly: "Mafa Witch Festival, in your current state, can you sense that there are higher levels beyond the fifth level of the extraordinary?"
After she advanced to Legend, she clearly felt that the end of the road to transcendence should not be here. It's like the steps of climbing a mountain. They suddenly break before you even see the top of the mountain. It's so abrupt and inexplicable.
"Does not."
Mafa shook his head, but then turned around and said: "Although my realm has not yet touched a higher level of power. But according to the legends of our ancestors, our Coleman clan once had people with outstanding talents who touched the fifth level. The 'forbidden power' is a power that, once touched, will bring 'misfortunes and natural disasters'..."
Canosha asked in confusion: "What is the 'forbidden power' above the fifth level? What is the 'disaster of misfortune'?"
Mafa shook her head.
The legend from our ancestors has been passed down orally for countless years, and no one knows what it exactly refers to.
Hearing this, everyone vaguely felt that they had touched the threshold of the truth, but they did not take that step.
... ...
"Everyone, I think what I discovered may be able to explain what the 'disaster of doom' is."
While everyone was puzzling and puzzled, Mr. Tust once again mentioned the reason for the crash of the airship.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on him.
Tust analyzed: "I went to observe the damaged main gun on the airship in detail. It is no longer the common gunpowder artillery we currently have, but has a more complex magic pattern energy storage system... From the artillery Judging from the complexity and caliber of the enchantment, the power of its one shot will definitely exceed the full power of the 'Legendary Extraordinary' by many times!"
After a pause, he continued: "My analysis is that the airship may have encountered an invincible attack and wanted to fire back. However, because the power of the artillery was too great, it directly caused space instability, resulting in space cracks and tears. He grabbed this mechanical airship, and then it crashed... This space crack may be Coleman's legendary 'disaster of doom'!"
The old man used a scientific perspective to perfectly explain why the airship fell, the levels of "advanced power", and what the "natural disaster of doom" is...
After hearing these remarks, everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a clear picture was immediately deduced in everyone's mind: an airship coming from the fog, encountering the black dragon, and then the "weak chicken" on the airship The fifth-level extraordinary had no choice but to use super-level artillery to fight back. In the end, the energy fluctuation was too large, causing space to tear, and the machine was destroyed and everyone was killed!
The top bosses in the mechanical, supernatural, and medical fields present at the scene made a combined calculation, and it seems that they have really restored the truth!
... ...
But when he said this, everyone looked a little solemn.
There are various signs that the unknown civilization outside the fog is much stronger than them.
It is estimated that the Coleman clan members present like Mafa can understand this feeling best.
Originally, their tribe had lived happily in the "Forest of Ashes" for generations, but suddenly some invaders who didn't know where they came from appeared. Although their combat power is weak, they have many people and high technology...
Maybe it will be another civilized and genocidal war.
With this reasoning, the entire conference room was silent, and everyone's faces were full of solemnity and worry.
At this time, Ymir saw that the atmosphere was not right and said: "Actually... this matter is not only a crisis for us, but also an opportunity. Since people from outside the fog can come in, then... Maybe we can get out too!”
Those who can participate in this meeting are basically high-level extraordinary ones.
It stands to reason that their extraordinary journey has almost reached the end of this world. But obviously, it shouldn't be the end. They could feel that there was still a long way to go before reaching the fifth level of transcendence, but suddenly it was as if they had reached the edge of a cliff, and there was suddenly no way forward.
But now... I found that in the dense fog across from the cliff, I suddenly saw a broken bridge leading to an unknown place.
Someone jumped over in an airship from the other side of the broken bridge.
Beyond the fog, there must be a way to pursue power beyond the fifth level!
When he said this, even Mafa, a wise old man with a calm mind, had a gleam in his eyes.
A frog trapped at the bottom of a well knows the outside world and wants to jump out to see it.
... ...
After hearing Ymir's statement, Ren, the "city lord", also expressed some of his thoughts: "Actually... I think His Highness Ymir is right. Our Black Dragon City has the right time, location, people and people. , the goal should never be the two empires, nor any glorious city. It should be the broader sky outside the fog... "
After a pause, he looked at the slightly worried internal affairs officials and continued: "And I don't think we need to worry too much. Judging from the current clues, there seems to be some kind of restriction in our foggy world. , so that all existence will not exceed the fifth level. We are limited, and so are those outsiders. But from a certain perspective, it limits us and is also our protective barrier... "
He was a time traveler to begin with, and he was probably the calmest among the people present who heard the news.
This time travel is like playing a game. I originally thought it was a wonderful and extraordinary world. After some exploration, I discovered that the place I am now is a novice village. There is a super vast and mysterious world outside with more exciting things to explore!
It was just uncertain before, but now it is certain, which makes people feel excited and want to find out!
Canosha agreed with this statement: "I also agree with what Lord Rennes said!"
She originally wanted to pursue the extraordinary and supreme realm, but after touching the "legend", she found that it was far from the end.
Now with a new goal, her team is looking forward to the future.
Mafa: "Agree."
Irubek: "Agree."
Barron: "Agreed."
"..."
... ...
In the end, when everyone put it together, they felt that the future development goals of "Black Dragon City" were becoming more and more clear.
Now that we know that the people coming from outside are at most level five, and they may be one level weaker than their level five combat power in the mist.
If they really want to fight, they are really not afraid.
The current shortcoming is the technology of Machinery City!
Not to mention finding a way out of the fog, at least if others break in, they will be able to protect themselves to a certain extent.
At this moment, the eyes of everyone at the conference table fell on Tust, the top mechanical master.
The old man also did his part.
He talked eloquently and said: "We now have the wreckage of this airship mechanical city. I can guarantee that within five years, we can use technology to crush any mechanical city in the two empires, even the so-called Omar The highest technology [City of Destruction. Therefore, I also agree with what Lord Rennes said, our goal should never be the two empires and the Glory City... "
After a pause, he continued: "If the mechanical technology of those outside the fog is generally at the level of this airship wreckage... In fact, it is not difficult for us in Black Dragon City to catch up, but it will take a certain amount of time. In less than ten years, I think We won’t say that technology is catching up, but at least it won’t be too far behind. What our territory currently lacks is large forging workshops, large steel mills, large equipment manufacturing assembly lines, and professional mechanics... "
Ymir: "I think the construction of the Mechanical City is the top priority of our Black Dragon City. From today on, all resources in the territory should be tilted towards the 'Mechanical Department', and the 'Black Dragon Academy' will also start recruiting students as soon as possible. , the first batch of students will give priority to mechanical majors... "
Canossa: "You can make a list of what materials you need. I will arrange a caravan as soon as possible to mobilize the resources and transport them..."
Everyone: "Agree!"
