"Do you know too little...?" Celine's whiskers fell down, as if feeling quite emotional, "Indeed, the longer I stay in the quest, the more I feel that I know very little. And you brought back from the dream world. The books of , all opened my eyes. Listening to you, maybe I shouldn't use the word incredible to describe it because there is something more incredible than it."
"Oh? What is it?"
"We." Celine chuckled. "According to the book, isn't everyone made up of a bunch of elements? Carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc... It's not much different from a tree. But we can cry. Laughing and thinking is more magical than glowing light.”
"I've read that book, but it's hard to believe." Nightingale sighed, "I don't want to admit that the skin on my body is not much different from the rough bark."
"This is probably the secret of the structure that Your Majesty is referring to."
Celine looked at Roland, but he didn't answer.
"His Majesty?"
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Only then did Roland come back to his senses, "Celine, what did you say before?"
"We are more magical than the stone tablet?"
"That's it..." He felt a thought pop into his mind, "Is it possible that the so-called stone tablets are not the product of someone who placed them there as a memorial, but that they are the stick figures themselves?"
"What do you mean?" Celine's voice was a little surprised.
"The stickman is the stone tablet, and what we saw was the body they left behind." Roland replied word by word, and at the same time, his body shuddered uncontrollably. That's right, a brand new life form silicon-based creature that is completely different from carbon-based creatures.
He hadn't thought of this aspect at first, but once the idea emerged, not only could some of the characteristics of the "luminous stone tablet" be explained, but the frescoes left in the temple also had a deeper meaning.
First of all, why are there so many lines on the monument? Not only the surface, but the interior as well. If they were all carved with tools, it would not be easy for Anna, who awakened the black fire, to do it in a short period of time, not to mention that according to the discoverer, every stone tablet is like this. .
If you think about it from another angle, it is not surprising that those are all grown by themselves.
There may have been an endless stream of "blood" in the lines. Under the pressure of the blood, the silicon oxide produced a local piezoelectric effect, and these electrical signals were intertwined, and finally formed thinking. In addition, the current can be converted into visible light through a certain mechanism, then they have the ability to communicate with the outside world.
Roland couldn't help but think of the huge fit stickman and the blood-flowing lake on the mural...
From the standpoint of stability alone, oil is naturally more suitable than water.
Thinking a little deeper, the stickman's biggest enemy, the radioactive family, may not worship radioactive substances for no reason.
The strong radiation can interfere with the circuit, and even make the "electronic equipment" fail, which may be the source of the belief of the radiators!
Roland seemed to see a shocking scene unfolding slowly in front of him.
Two very different civilizations fought a final battle in the extreme south in order to compete for the relics of the gods. One was completely wiped out, and the blood that shed formed the underground Styx and the Choke Swamp. But because the body does not rot, it still exists as a tombstone buried in the ground after a thousand years. The other side won the victory, but their whereabouts were unknown. Except for the ruins in the cage mountain and the ritual cube, they disappeared more completely. Later generations can only guess the history that has happened through a few frescoes that have been through the vicissitudes of life.
This is simply unbelievable!
"Is the luminous stone tablet the same life form as us?" Celine pondered. "With all due respect, it is difficult for me to imagine that these blocks have their own consciousness and can move freely... Do you have more evidence?"
Roland calmed down the shock in his heart and shook his head slightly, "This is just my personal guess. The facts are likely to be very different, because from an evolutionary point of view, such a thing is almost impossible to happen."
What life becomes, depends to a large extent on the environment that nurtured it. Whether it's a devil or an evil beast, it's still a product of the biosphere, but silicon-based creatures? That is completely another evolutionary path. Under the circumstance of sharing a set of natural environment, no matter how you think about it, there should not be two kinds of life with different essential structures.
"According to what you said, the content on the mural is unexpectedly suitable..." Celine was silent for a moment, "If that's the case, put the riddle aside for now. I think as long as you keep exploring, you will always know the truth of the answer. After all, only in this way can people truly grow.”
"Sounds reasonable..." Nightingale curled her lips.
"This is also one of the dogmas of the quest." Celine smiled, "By the way, I also did some tests on the luminous reaction of the stone tablet. I wanted to try to use it to replace the magic stone for lighting, but the results were not satisfactory. ”
"No...?" Roland frowned. When he first got the report, the first idea that popped up was to replace lamps. After all, due to the limitation of power generation, light bulbs only exist in factories and a few surrounding communities. It is still a difficult project to popularize night lighting. If the stone tablet can be used as a lamp, it will undoubtedly bring great convenience to the people's livelihood and education in Neverwinter City.
"It's not that it can't be done, it's just very troublesome, please take a look at your majesty." She picked out two samples. It was obvious that they were fragments of a stone tablet that had been cut twice. One was as thin as a piece of paper, and the other was about the size of tofu. Celine squeezed them tightly at the same time, and two groups of rays of light shot out from the auxiliary whiskers. After about ten seconds, the former suddenly dimmed and no longer glowed, while the latter persisted for half a minute longer. "I use the same strength in both hands."
Roland immediately understood the meaning of the other party, "Its brightness and time are related to the degree of deformation and its own volume."
"That's right," Celine nodded, "the stele fragments can't stay on all the time. The smaller the size, the faster the extinction. Although they can recover slowly, it will take a long time if I want to use them to light up. In the entire underground hall, I am afraid that hundreds of complete stone tablets will have to be placed, and hundreds of kilograms of iron blocks should be stacked on top of each stele body. After the light is exhausted, the iron blocks have to be removed. Both Together, it's an absolute behemoth."
If it is used as a fixed light source and a pulley block is used to lift heavy objects, it can be regarded as a future use, although it is cumbersome enough. Roland looked at the piece of debris that had lost its luster, thinking in his heart... The smaller the size, the easier it is to deform, but the corresponding luminous time is also surprisingly short, which is no different from flashing by.
Wait, flashed by
His eyes suddenly lit up.
The development of "Stone Tablet" may last a long time, but he has now thought of a very suitable use.
This problem has plagued the First Army for a long time and will become more and more apparent in the foreseeable future.
But now, it seems to have an opportunity to solve it in disguise.
That's the "indicator line" tracer that fires the gun.
