Chapter 1466: Chapter 1467: Unknown Energy
"Human bones?" Except for Xu Huo, no one present seed surprised. Zhao Jicheng even said, "Weren’t human bones already excluded from rank materials? At most, they can only be used as fertilizer or fuel."
"I also find it strange," Xin Rong said with a kind of eager excitent, "but the aircraft I saw was indeed using this as a raw material for continuous flight. I don’t know if it’s sothing our current instrunts can’t detect."
"That doesn’t seem possible," Bian Jun said, "The chanical instrunts used by the Eye of Platinum are in line with Rank-A Wormhole Points. If even we couldn’t detect it... which subdivision did you go to?"
"A place where technology isn’t very developed," Xin Rong said, "except that combat weapons are quite advanced, the life of people across the subdivision isn’t very good, even the leaders are not exempt; those people are particularly hardworking."
"The purpose of making weapons is to ensure a secure life for people. If all resources are concentrated on this, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse?" Liao Ying said.
"You’re not wrong to think that," Xin Rong said, "but not all subdivisions are as prosperous and developed as ours; there are many struggling just to et their basic needs."
Everyone agreed on this point, but they were still more interested in how human bones could be used as a power source, so the topic returned to that. Xin Rong provided his previous test results, and so docunts, with a copy for everyone.
"As per the old rules, if the final developnt results in new weapons, I’ll split fifty-fifty with the person who successfully develops it."
No one had any objections to this. The Liao Sisters, who were quite curious, had already started looking at the docunts. Xin Rong took so ti to chat with Xu Huo and asked if he had ever seen such a strange weapon.
Currently, Xu Huo’s instance has not encountered large-scale machinery; the most he has seen are various types of robots. Other weapons like fighter jets or those that require multi-stage coordination to operate have not been encountered, or even if seen, have little to do with his instance.
"I’m not well-versed in chanics and haven’t paid attention to it," he said truthfully.
"chanics are very interesting," Xin Rong said eloquently, "Don’t be misled by the weight on weapons; they’re actually only a spin-off of advanced chanical industries. As long as the energy is good, many weapons don’t have significant technical barriers. In contrast, chanical creations like robots or large-scale ships require sufficient knowledge and technology to complete. The new Energy Cannon by the Eye of Platinum can destroy half of a city in one blow, but the 10th Generation Defensive Ship we’ve built is enough to withstand its attack."
"That’s real technology."
"Many Advanced Wormhole Sites have such technology; their defensive scale is unimaginable. I always thought the Eye of Platinum was at the cutting-edge of ga technology cities, but upon leaving, I realized I had a rather limited view."
"Apart from technology, there is also a lack of materials, right?" Xu Huo said.
"You’ve hit the nail on the head," Xin Rong smacked his lips, "The ga essentially monopolizes resources in the subdivisions. So super materials I’ve never even heard of, but so wormhole points can still produce ships with them."
"The annoying thing is that obtaining these materials is already hard enough, yet so still can’t be used even if they are obtained. That’s another kind of technical barrier."
"One person is fragile. Even those super players, what of it?" he continued, "If their props don’t work, they’re just humans with stronger physical prowess. chanics are indeed the humanity’s future."
If the props don’t work... Xu Huo smiled slightly, "As you said, the premise is that the props don’t work."
Xin Rong laughed, "Of course, I’m not saying super players aren’t powerful, but how many super players are there in the ga? If you look at the materials used in so advanced subdivisions for tools, it’s clear that the highest-end, most cutting-edge technologies in the ga are certainly controlled by the key figures running the ga. Why do other subdivisions know nothing or can’t even find an entry point? Besides the boundless ga world, are there no other factors?"
Xu Huo pondered slightly and then said, "Are you suggesting there are hidden subdivisions?"
If a subdivision had sufficient resources, destroying it and excluding it from the train tracks could monopolize resources and shield its existence.
Instances are not entirely built by humans. Those not controlled by humans, naturally born instances are likely an automatic ga chanism. That is to say, the birth of most instances is natural, not controlled. With instances co tickets and stations, so it’s impossible to completely isolate a subdivision from the world.
But the birth of an instance is often human-related. If a subdivision is in ruins or flattened, without the foundation for birth, then an instance might really never appear, much like high-risk instances that are largely unvisited.
Of course, understanding how the ga operates is difficult, yet it’s conceivable that whether it’s the people controlling the ga or others exploiting the loopholes, they can inversely utilize the ga’s rules.
"Can’t rule out such a possibility." Xin Rong said, "Otherwise, think about it, aren’t there enough players in the ga? People are everywhere, how can it be that sothing absolutely unknown to outsiders exists?"
Eye of Platinum isn’t just a tropolis of precision instrunts; their ans of acquiring all sorts of information isn’t inferior either. It’s one of the reasons they’ve always been at the forefront of weapon manufacturing.
Xu Huo knew his words wouldn’t be in vain, so he said, "If I encounter any good materials or strange weapons in the future, I’ll surely bring them to the Eye of Platinum."
Xin Rong happily patted him on the shoulder, "Let’s drink, let’s drink!"
After this "heartfelt conversation," they also talked about Artifact Maker Elder Lu. Xin Rong had a familial relation with Elder Lu, but since people in mature subdivisions generally enjoy long lifespans, it wasn’t a close family bond. Xin Rong has always had a natural fondness for Artifact Creation and has studied under Elder Lu for a period, but his lack of talent got him kicked out. He was quite curious about the ores Xu Huo had taken.
"I asked Teacher Lu to craft a defense prop for ," Xu Huo said, "We’ll see how it turns out in the end."
Xin Rong nodded repeatedly, "You don’t need to worry about Granny’s craftsmanship; apart from her temper being a bit harsh, her reputation is much better than that of a regular Artifact Maker. The things she produces are all premium... the stone you gave her must be quite good, or she wouldn’t have talked with you for so long."
That’s what he wanted to inquire about, which made Xu Huo chuckle, "Secondary Stones aren’t easy to find. I stumbled upon it by chance. Even if I went back now, I’d probably never find a second one."
Xin Rong waved his hand, "I was rely making a casual comnt. Even without Secondary Stones, there might be other ores..."
Liao Ying couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re really daft, didn’t you catch what he ant? It wasn’t dug up from the mountains."
