Mr. Hu was the kind of person who would immediately take action upon his ideas. At this moment, he had already picked up the black and gray metal fragments brought by Xie Wei and began to study them. Once he started studying, Mr. Hu immediately became fully focused and was not affected by any external things at all.
Yang Qi's eyes fell on the black-gray metal in Hu Lao's hand. After looking at it for a while, he said to Xie Wei beside him, "Is this the ancient artifact in your hand?"
He was sure that the black and grey metal in front of him did not come from the cultivation world. Things from the cultivation world would have some residual fluctuations of elemental force. With his current realm, he could easily sense even a slight fluctuation.
If it is not something from a spiritual civilization, it is either ordinary fragments or it comes from a technological civilization!
"Yes, I saw this fragment in the Antique Street. It is said that it was accidentally obtained by a traveler passing by the outskirts of the Tak Desert." Xie Wei said in a deep voice.
Although the Tak Desert is sparsely populated, it does not mean that no one has entered. As for the outer areas, there are still a lot of human activities. It is not surprising to obtain such fragments.
"I did some simple research and found that this fragment is completely different from any known metal." Xie Wei glanced at Yang Qi and continued, "I remembered that Mr. Hu once said that when he was young, he had seen such metals near the Tak Desert, so I came to find Mr. Hu, hoping that he could recognize the origin of these metals."
Yang Qi nodded slightly, not finding it strange. He probably thought that because of the confidentiality regulations, Mr. Hu deliberately concealed the fact that he had discovered the ruins in the Tak Desert. Xie Wei didn't know about this at all, so she thought that Mr. Hu had seen the fragment when he was young.
"This piece of fragment is an unknown fragment and does not belong to any dynasty in our Chinese history." In just a moment, Mr. Hu had made a judgment.
“In other words, this fragment came from the ruins?” Yang Qi’s eyes lit up and he said quickly.
"We can't say that for now. This fragment only rules out some possibilities regarding the dynasty, but the specific material and properties still need further research to be determined." Upon hearing this, Old Hu shook his head.
"Still not sure?"
Yang Qi frowned. He thought that once Mr. Hu started researching, there would be results soon. But now it seems that things are completely different from what he thought.
Seeing Yang Qi stunned, Xie Wei couldn't help but explain, "No matter what kind of science it is, it is rigorous. To judge something is a rigorous process in itself."
Science emphasizes evidence and facts, not conjecture. One cannot make judgments based on intuition. This is very different from the practice of civilization.
"I see."
Yang Qi nodded, then looked at Hu Laodao, "Can I see this fragment?"
"Of course." Mr. Hu smiled calmly.
There is nothing surprising about the fragments themselves. If they are not analyzed and identified with scientific instruments, it is impossible to know their specific composition and function.
Wow~
When you hold the fragment, it doesn't feel heavy at all, just like ordinary metal.
"It is true."
The energy in Yang Qi's body flowed, trying to flow into the fragments, but he found that the energy could not penetrate the fragments at all. His eyes lit up.
“It’s incapable of transmitting energy, which is exactly the same as the items of technological civilization.” Yang Qi said to himself.
Most of the things in the spiritual civilization can directly transmit the Yuanli, but this is not the case with the scientific and technological civilization. In fact, due to the conflict between the two civilizations, the items of the scientific and technological civilization are isolated from the transmission of Yuanli.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi exerted a little force in his hands. As he continued to exert force, the fragments did not change at all.
“With such hardness, it should be at the level of Yuanbing.” A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi’s eyes.
Of course, the fragments in front of him only reached the level of Yuan Bing in hardness, which is quite different from the real Yuan Bing. Yuan Bing can withstand Yuan Li. With the blessing of Yuan Li, they are more powerful and sharper, and can easily cut through the fragments in front of him.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Yang Qi frowned and stared at the fragments in his hand.
"But have you found anything?" Seeing this scene, Mr. Hu and Xie Wei on the side asked hurriedly.
Hearing this, Yang Qi frowned and said, "There seems to be some pattern on this fragment, but I don't know what the pattern does."
"What? You can actually find the pattern on the fragments?"
After these words were spoken, Mr. Hu looked at Yang Qi in front of him with an incredible expression, and a hint of horror appeared on his face.
"Can Mr. Hu see it too?"
Yang Qi was stunned, looking at Old Hu in some astonishment. To be exact, he did not understand it, he sensed it. The pattern was very secretive and could not be detected by the naked eye. Old Hu was just an ordinary person, so it should be impossible for him to discover it.
"How is that possible? How can I possibly see it? You need a microscope to see it." Old Hu smiled bitterly and looked at Yang Qi with a monster expression.
He knew there were patterns on it because they had seen many such patterns and related records in the ruins they had found before. Old Hu had already judged in his heart that this fragment should be a relic fragment, so it was not surprising to see such a pattern.
However, this was the first time that Yang Qi came into contact with the fragments in front of him, and he didn't have a microscope in his hands, but he was able to find special patterns on the fragments, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"Mr. Hu, I've said it before, he is not an ordinary person, you don't have to be surprised." Xie Wei on the side said calmly.
Old Hu was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly. Although he had seen some martial arts masters, he had never seen a martial artist with the ability like Yang Qi, so he felt strange.
"Mr. Hu, I wonder what the pattern above represents?" Yang Qi looked at Mr. Hu.
Mr. Hu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "According to the patterns and information we have previously obtained, these patterns should be numbers and words."
The matter of the patterns already involves the issue of the ruins, but the pattern alone does not involve much, so he hesitated for a moment before saying it out. Otherwise, if it was other closely related information, Mr. Hu would probably keep silent again.
Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this. Obviously, before confirming that Yang Qi was qualified to know about the ruins, Mr. Hu would not leak the information about the ruins, including the results achieved by Mr. Hu and others' research at that time.
"By the way, can you draw that pattern?" Mr. Hu looked at Yang Qi with some anticipation.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, and immediately drew the pattern on the fragment. It was a long and twisted pattern, but the pattern seemed incomplete.
"Teacher, this pattern doesn't seem complete?" Xie Wei's eyes fell on the pattern, and after looking at it for a moment, she spoke.
"It is indeed incomplete. This should be only a part of it." Mr. Hu nodded slightly. In fact, the ruins they saw at the beginning were seriously damaged, and they did not get much useful information. (To be continued)
