The essence of science is not for one person to create the technology tree that builds the entire world.
Instead, we stand on the crystallization of wisdom of our ancestors and see higher. Then use your own wisdom, inspiration and knowledge to collide with that era and create amazing sparks, making the technology tree more prosperous.
That's why Mr. Tust was so excited when he saw these drawings left by the ancient goblin civilization.
Because, he looked at the shoulders of the giant.
... ..
Because of Ren's intrusion, a certain balance was broken. This goblin ruins that had been covered in dust underground for countless years began to decay faster and faster.
Ren, Tust, and Ymir did not dare to delay at all. After coming out of the "workshop", they entered another large building, a cylindrical "alchemy laboratory"!
After entering the door, I saw a large number of bottles and cans.
Renn once thought it was a unique glassware of this era, but he didn't expect that the ancient goblin civilization had already created it. It's just that the liquid stored in the glassware has evaporated completely, and there are still some dark solid residues in a few bottles.
Oh no!
That doesn't seem to be peeling off, but various transparent crystal vessels!
This room also has dense brass pipes, like ventilation and cooling devices. There are also many large reaction boilers whose uses are unclear. This is completely different from the style of modern laboratories. The equipment looks very rough, but its complexity is beyond imagination, and it also has a strong magical color.
The biggest difference is that there are high-level magic runes engraved everywhere in the laboratory, as well as a large number of occult symbols, such as six-pointed stars and eight-pointed stars... But due to the passage of time, As time goes by, these items have completely lost any luster.
On the surrounding walls of this circular alchemy laboratory, there are a large number of books and ancient scrolls, estimated to exceed a thousand volumes.
Tust looked happy at first, and then became more and more heartbroken.
The old man felt a sense of self-confidence and pain: "Oh, my God! If you let me see the existence of such a great civilization, why do you have to be cruel and let it be destroyed in front of my eyes..."
Because he knew that these goblin secret books would decay in a short time. The more books there are, it means that they will watch helplessly as more "precious knowledge" is destroyed before their eyes.
It was okay not to see them, but when they did, they slipped through the fingers. This feeling made Mr. Tust go crazy.
Because of the sealed environment of the underground mines, the ruins of this ancient city are so well preserved.
Ymir's expression was also very complicated, including shock, surprise, and regret.
This is the only ancient civilization that she has heard of and experienced that is so well-preserved. It's like opening a treasure house of prehistoric civilization. These classics represent the "crystallization of wisdom" of a certain era.
How could she not know the value of "knowledge"
Their Omar Empire rose because of "steam knowledge". The knowledge of ancient goblin civilization here may now allow them to change the future in Black Dragon City. Or maybe it's about changing this era.
Therefore, when she walked in and saw the dazzling bookshelf, she and Tust both felt the same regret.
But now, everything in front of me is decaying. Although the scrolls on the table and the books on the bookshelf appear to be well-preserved, as soon as they are taken out, the words on them will disappear completely within a few breaths of turning the pages.
Ymir's breathing became heavier unconsciously, and he asked Renn beside him expectantly: "Renn, how many books can you memorize at one time?"
Ren's expression remained normal: "As long as I see it, I can basically write it down."
Ymir: "Can I read a few more books at the same time?"
Renn: "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Ymir's frown suddenly relaxed, and she did not hesitate in doing anything, and whistled.
In a blink of an eye, the high-level guards who were collecting skeletons in the city appeared at the door of the alchemy laboratory.
After a few brief explanations, the guards also joined in.
The next moment, there were four more people flipping through the book.
They began to take out volumes of classics from the bookshelf, and then flipped through them quickly in front of Ren's eyes.
The battle suddenly became a race against time, as they tried their best to display it all in front of Ren's eyes before the book completely decayed.
Tust originally thought that it would be difficult for Ren to memorize so many classics at the same time, but he did not expect that the reading speed would become faster and faster.
At this moment, although everyone was shocked and vaguely worried about whether Ren could remember it, no one asked.
Because they have no choice but to do this.
"Quick, quick, quick... don't worry about those sealed books for now, open the fallen volumes first..."
"Yes, any ancient scrolls and books with written words and patterns cannot be let go..."
"Be gentle and don't touch other things when picking up books from the bookshelf..."
"..."
Fortunately, there were all high-level extraordinary people present, and their muscle control was extremely precise.
It picks up the book accurately and turns the pages very quickly. The ink writing on those pages, after being exposed to the air, became visibly lighter to the naked eye, and completely disappeared after three or two breaths.
Still, it's enough to turn the page.
Ren's eyes were fleeting, following the frequency of people turning pages of books. His pupils moved left and right in his eye sockets, until they almost became a horizontal shadow.
He felt that he would definitely be regarded as a monster after today.
However, it doesn't seem to matter anymore.
This is a world with all kinds of weird and extraordinary abilities, and my own "memory" is also extraordinary in a certain way.
[Ding! Unknown alchemy formula found, the system is recording...]
[Ding! Unknown type of symbol found, system recording...]
[Ding! The interpretation degree of the name 'Goblin Language' is 51... 52%... ]
[Ding! Interpretation rate 100%, automatic translation completed...]
While everyone was flipping through the book quickly in front of him, the system prompts came one after another.
There are enough text books here that text translation is not difficult.
The more types of language reserves in the "intelligent brain", the more accurate the translation will be.
Therefore, even if some of the professional terms recorded in ancient goblin books are different from today, many things can be interpreted with similar meanings.
After the "Goblin Language" was systematically interpreted, these classics in Renn's eyes were no longer just heavenly books that were densely packed with incomprehensible symbols.
And it becomes something that is instinctively understood.
[Ding! The system automatically includes the 'Level III Demon-Breaking Gunpowder Formula', which requires the following materials: carbon crystal bone powder, heather, iron snake blood extract...]
[Ding! The system automatically includes "Intermediate Alchemy"... ]
[Ding! The system automatically includes "Occultism: Exorcism, Mediumship, Transformation"...]
[Ding! The system automatically includes "The Encyclopedia of Alchemy and Enchanting"... ]
[Ding...]
Because his "intelligent brain" cheated, Renn's eyes could only read the contents of those classics mechanically, and he didn't need to concentrate at all to write down anything.
As for understanding
Thinking too much.
Both "engineering" and "alchemy" are vast and profound subjects that require a lifetime of study.
Although Ren now understands these "ancient goblin languages", more than 99% of the text content in front of him cannot be understood at all. For someone like him who has no foundation in either discipline, understanding the names of those esoteric professional terms is more of a headache than before when he just regarded them as "special symbols".
In Bazel's words, his head refused to accept the painful information.
Moreover, Renn has no intention of learning another science that requires a lot of time in addition to medicine.
He would use it as his own "human USB flash drive" and write out all these things later, and then give them to Mr. Tust to study.
... ..
After reading through "Alchemy Laboratory", I moved to another place.
As time passes, the rescue work of ancient goblin documents becomes more and more urgent.
They searched large buildings one after another and found a large amount of written materials.
But as more and more documents were found, Tust and the others not only were not happy, but their faces became increasingly sad.
At the beginning, Ren said that he could memorize 80% to 90% of the information. Both Ymir and Tust chose to believe that he had this ability.
But later on, the amount of knowledge that needed to be memorized became larger and larger, and even they lost all confidence.
When manpower is finally exhausted, no matter how good a person's memory is, how much can he remember
Moreover, when they saw Ren reading more than ten books at a time, they only glanced at them briefly.
Probably... If I can remember 10%, that would be great.
But now there is no other better way.
Tust also tried to read those classics full of "special symbols" to help Renn. But the brain instinctively resists accepting those "special symbols" that it doesn't recognize at all. Not to mention reading and writing it down, it is difficult to even look into it.
In the end, all hopes rested on Renn alone.
However, I didn’t expect that Ren’s cool moves were still coming!
"I've read this one before, next one!"
"This drawing is also repeated, change..."
"..."
Amid everyone's astonishment, Ren PASSed out the system and the books with overlapping contents after screening for him expressionlessly.
The rooms in the ruins of this goblin city are not different for everyone. It is estimated that it will be similar to the current laboratory. Each goblin engineer has his own collection, but after all, they are the same two subjects, and almost all basic classics will overlap.
After flipping through a few more rooms, Ren also discovered this, and in order not to waste the precious time he had with Decay, he clicked on it directly.
But this shocked everyone.
Originally, Tust and the others no longer had much hope. But looking at it now, this guy seems to have memorized everything
But at this moment, no one questioned it.
Everyone cooperated with Ren and raided almost all large-scale construction laboratories in almost all goblin cities.
