"There's stuff like that all over the place."

Everyone around looked at each other, everywhere? If it's really a card, it's all over the place? Could it be that this is a garbage dump for discarded cards? Chen Mu shook his head, denying this ridiculous idea. He has also seen places where discarded cards are recycled, and cards are indeed everywhere in those places. But this is in the jungle, a deserted jungle where wild beasts are rampant, how can there be a garbage recycling station here? What's more, from the age shown by this half of the card fragment, there was no card recycling bin at that time. The ancient cards were far less developed than today, and the cards at that time were only used by a very small number of people.

This news was undoubtedly a sensation to Chen Mu and others.

Chen Mu immediately said: "You lead the way."

The soldier let out a sigh of excitement, and led Chen Mu and others towards the place he found. Even Alfonso set off with everyone when he heard the news.

A group of people soon arrived at the place the soldier said.

Chen Mu stopped and looked around. The vegetation in this area is very different from the surrounding area. There is not a single towering tree that can be seen everywhere along the road. As far as the eye can see, there are knee-high weeds. This somewhat made everyone be careful. In the jungle, any place with obvious features often meant unusual dangers.

Without Chen Mu's instructions, Si Weide waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers behind him immediately spread out to both sides and entered the knee-high grass, their expressions were full of vigilance. Weah followed Chen Mu with a calm face, never leaving. Bo Wen and Cheng Ying activated their energy shields, and they also looked wary.

"It's all down here!" The soldier pushed aside the weeds on the ground, and Chen Mu could clearly see that there were indeed many similar card fragments on the ground, which were mixed in the soil. Discover.

Picked up a card at random, the preservation of this card was not as good as the one just now, but its fracture was not corroded. These cards are brute force destroyed! Chen Mu immediately came to this conclusion, and at the same time, Bowen took his eyes away from the fragment of the card in his hand, with a surprised and puzzled expression on his face. Cheng Ying was no exception. She never thought that she would see so many card fragments in the jungle.

Judging by the age of these cards, they have undergone countless changes over the years. What would it have looked like here in the distant ancient times

Looking around, there are no other conspicuous objects except weeds or weeds. However, this area with only weeds and no trees is extremely large, much larger than the largest training grounds Chen Mu has ever seen. And Chen Mu also discovered something special, this area is very flat, without any ups and downs.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "There is something here!"

Chen Mu woke up from his thoughts, and saw a soldier standing in the middle of the area, waving his arms and shouting. Everyone's enthusiasm was immediately ignited, and they ran excitedly towards the soldier's place.

A slightly arched small soil bag, covered with weeds, following the soldier's fingers, one can see a trace of metal round edge exposed in the soil. Metal, this is the unique luster of metal! Excited by this discovery, everyone began to remove the dirt and weeds on it. Soon, more and more metal parts were exposed.

When all the dirt and weeds were removed, this metal device finally revealed its full appearance in front of everyone.

This is a metal device similar to a round table, a thick metal disc with a diameter of three meters, and it is supported by an equally thick metal cylinder. The metal column at the bottom has been submerged in the soil, and no one knows how long this metal column is half submerged in the soil. The whole metal device has a gloomy metallic luster, which is not conspicuous, but reveals a kind of hardness that can go through the years.

All are attracted by this unique metal device. Everything here is so out of place with the surroundings, unique terrain, unique vegetation, card fragments scattered in the soil everywhere, and this well-made metal device.

"Very good production level." Alfonso commented. Chen Mu couldn't help but looked up at Alfonso. It was not easy to get Alfonso to praise him. In terms of cards, Alfonso is modest and eager to learn, but in terms of metal production, he can only be described as arrogant. He often dismisses other people's works, and even Chen Mu has been ridiculed by him. But his skill in metal manufacturing is directly proportional to his temper, he is the best one Chen Mu has seen so far.

"This is an alloy, it should be a cold-phase tri-alloy." Alfonso said in a very professional tone, but no one understood what he was talking about except him.

Chen Mu's eyes fell on the surface of the disc. There are many lines engraved on the surface of the disc, they criss-cross, seemingly chaotic but seem to contain some rules. Here, if there is such a metal round table, it must have a special purpose. And the engraved lines on it must have their uses.

Chen Mu suddenly noticed the edge of the disc, and the pattern structure formed by the lines there was familiar to him. No, it's not just familiar, it's a back-shaped structure! This discovery made Chen Mu excited all of a sudden!

Zigzag structure, one of the basic structures of card textures, appears in almost 90% of card textures. This is one of the structures Chen Mu is most familiar with. When he was making the one-star energy card, it was one of the few things he could study. In fact, his research in this area does have many differences from others.

This zigzagging structure is a variant, which he has seen on a one-star energy card that is different from the standard structure. He has collected twelve one-star energy cards with different structures. In order to reduce the cost, which seems negligible now, he did a lot of research on these circular structures. And this kind of back-shaped structure is a more efficient structure, which he has used for reference. Although what he came into contact with later was some much more advanced knowledge and more difficult structures, but the card structure he is most familiar with is the most basic, so basic that almost no one has studied the back-shaped structure!

Soon, he found several back-shaped structures from the line pattern engraved on the disc, which further convinced him that this round table-shaped metal device should be something like a card machine. If there is only one back-shaped structure, it may be a coincidence, but if several appear at the same time, it must not be a coincidence.

But apart from these few back-shaped structures, the other lines look extremely messy, without the graceful smoothness of the card pattern at all. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the pattern on a card is just a strange pattern composed of lines, but in the eyes of card makers, they can tell at a glance whether the pattern in front of them is a card pattern, even if they may Don't know these textures. Long-term production experience will allow card makers to form a unique feeling, just like the sense of language and painting.

Chen Mu had this feeling! In this era of increasing card making costs, there are not many card makers with rich experience in making cards, but Chen Mu is undoubtedly one of them.

But the line patterns on the metal disc in front of him made Chen Mu confused, because he couldn't tell whether these patterns were card patterns or not. This was the first time he encountered such a situation!

The eyes of the others were all on Chen Mu. Who was most likely to solve the mystery of this disk, and that was undoubtedly Chen Mu.

Chen Mu, who was so focused, was unaware of everyone's gaze. The lines on the round table seem to be messy, so messy, it is dazzling. Chen Mu is not impatient, he is quite patient, in the process of learning cards, this is one of the few advantages he thinks of himself.

He simply used a stupid method.

As we all know, all card textures have a starting point and a closing point. The so-called starting pen is the first point of pen writing, and pen pen is the last stroke before completion. A clever card maker can perfectly integrate the opening and closing of the pen, especially the more advanced the card, and as for the exclusive cards of some card makers, it is even more difficult to distinguish. This can protect the cards they make from being copied.

If the line patterns on this disk are really textures, then there must be starting and ending strokes.

Chen Mu was not arrogant enough to think that he could find the starting and ending of these messy line patterns. Perhaps in the eyes of Cheng Ying and Bowen, a card maker with a contribution of A is already very powerful, but in Chen Mu's own eyes, he is just a half-baked card maker with relatively good luck.

Of course, except for the one-star energy card, he has enough confidence in this regard.

Chen Mu can't, but he believes that someone can

-Alfonso.

Alfonso's card knowledge was appalling, but his metal skills were second to none. These lines, possibly textured, are engraved on a metal plate. If it is engraving, there will definitely be different marks left when the pen is started and when the pen is put down. I can't find it myself, but Alfonso should be able to find it. Chen Mu is now fortunate that these lines are engraved on a metal disc, if they are drawn on a card, then he really has no choice.

Chen Mu explained his thoughts to Alfonso in detail.

Alfonso pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Let me try."

While everyone was watching, Alfonso inserted his fingers into these lines, moving slowly against the inner walls of the lines. The others, including Chen Mu, held their breath and stared wide-eyed, not daring to breathe.

In the air, there is only the rustling sound of the wind blowing the grass.
