Chapter 448: The lost technology tree
"Father, what exactly is it?"
"Did you know the earthquake in the north not long ago?" Xue Ye did not directly answer Xue Qinghe, but mentioned the natural disasters that occurred before, and Xue Qinghe also knew about the earthquake.
Most people still call earthquakes the Earth Dragon Turnover, but the royal family also knows what happened. Although they have not studied it in detail, they also know that this is one of the natural disasters like the sky fire.
The shock did not cause too much casualties, but the subsequent tsunami caused a heavy loss to the nearby fishery. There is no need to be a star. The temperature in the northern region is polar, and the annual fishing season is not long. This time the destruction of fishing boats and ports has resulted in large-scale fishing. Only some small boats were not damaged and could still go to sea.
If you want to go to sea on a large scale, you can only recruit fishing boats from other regions, which delays a lot of things in a while.
Fishermen are also part of the people. If such a big thing happens, the empire naturally needs disaster relief. Although the nobles who suffered losses in the industry will inevitably make a fortune from it. In order to prevent others from intervening too much, Xue Ye handed this matter to Xue Qinghe.
Xue Qinghe is more than enough to do these things, and he also wants to take the other party's ability to see how he can govern the country.
"Remember, do I have any problems with it?"
Qian Renxue is not good at governing the country, and she doesn't have so much time to study this issue, but it doesn't matter. There are similar talents in the Wuhun Palace. It's less than half a day since the news was sent back by Guimei, and a perfect policy was delivered to her.
In the eyes of outsiders, she made the perfect plan in one night, but in fact she was just reading the script. She thought Xueye asked her what was wrong.
"No, you handled it well, but the matter happened there. Then a fisherman discovered a piece of land on the sea. He didn't know how big the island was, but in the ruins on the island, he found something magical. The man didn't know what it was, but he brought it back and wanted to pay back the money, but fortunately he was discovered by the people of the empire."
Speaking of this, the snowy night was a little sighing, as if she was sighing something
"Father, what exactly is that?" Qian Renxue asked this question at the right time so that Xueye would continue to talk.
"It is a soul guide, but it is not a space storage soul guide, nor a life-like soul guide similar to the Imperial carriage, but a military soul guide for war. People from the Empire accidentally discovered this, and he injected a small amount of soul power into it, and then the thing actually emitted an impact that was no less than a great soul master's full-strength attack."
"But Father, this seems useless, right? Or is it something special about it?" If this weapon only has this power, it is a bit useless, and it will definitely not attract the attention of the emperor of a country.
Although the two empires lack powerful soul masters, there is no shortage of grassroots soul masters.
"Not bad, but it can be used by ordinary people after it is charged, just like a crossbow, a soldier who has no soul power can use this thing freely."
Now Qian Renxue knows why this item was so important to Xueye. It’s nothing to have a great soul master, and it’s nothing to have ten great soul masters. Even a hundred great soul masters are not too difficult to deal with.
But when this number is tens of thousands and can launch attacks in a continuous and fast manner, all this is not that simple. Low-level soul masters can only choose to escape when facing established imperial corps. The combination of the Royal Knights makes them not afraid of ordinary soul masters.
If this kind of weapon can be popularized on a large scale, even the advanced soul masters may not be their opponents, and it will be a major change for the entire continent. And it is just an old antique I picked up, and maybe there may be more powerful existences.
If that were the case, the Soul Hall and the upper three sects, which were originally in absolute terms in terms of soul master quality, may lose their former limelight when facing an empire with a large population. Even if there is no qualitative change, the empire's back will become harder.
Thinking of this, her face changed. If only Tiandou had this thing, the pattern of the mainland would really be reshuffled.
"It seems you have thought of it too, so you should be clear about the importance of this incident to Tiandou."
Seeing Xue Qinghe's face change, Xue Ye thought it was him who understood how important this matter was. He hadn't said anything more detailed yet. This was just something the man found in the ruins, but there was still a large part of the huge ruins that no one went in to explore, and there might be something better inside.
"Then Father, how is this thing being studied? Can it be copied?"
"The technology of soul guides is not so easy. After studying the space soul guides for so long, they have no clue. Only life-like products can be made. Besides, the thing is too old. After experimenting twice, it was completely destroyed, and there was no residue left. It seems that there is some mechanism, and it may be too decay."
"So what are you going to do when you are father?"
"The people of the empire tried to land on the island to search for the ruins, but there seemed to be something left on the island. Soul masters above level 50 cannot go up at all. Ordinary people will want to escape there after staying for a long time. Now the soldiers of the empire have blocked the news, but I don't know how long it can be blocked."
He knew very well that the empire was not a monolithic piece, and that was even more so in the border areas. Although he ordered a strict blockade, the news would sooner or later.
"I need you to find a group of reliable people from the empire, with your soul power in the range of level 40-50, search for that ruin as soon as possible, find enough samples, and of course it is better to have technology, and then... ruin it."
This is the best way to deal with it. Relying on the advance search for spoils quickly and then destroying the things you can't take away, this will cause great losses, but it can bring great benefits to Tiandou. If it goes well, it will be impossible for Tiandou to truly defeat Xingluo in a few years, or even over the Spirit Hall by virtue of its strength.
The reason why he left this matter to Xue Qinghe was that he hoped that this power could be controlled by the royal family, so that the imperial power of Tiandou could be further concentrated, which was a killing of two kills.
He was worried about the existing soul masters in the empire, so he sent his confidants to recruit some new people from this year's academy to replace those soul masters who were 100% installed by others.
"I understand, but Father, is this kind of thing really trustworthy? I haven't seen anything, will it be... After all, the technology of the soul guide has been lost for many years."
Except for a small number of daily necessities that have been circulated, the production method has long been lost. Especially the space storage soul guides that are most frequently used by soul masters are mostly left over from ancient times. It can be said that these pieces are old antiques, and some have been passed down for countless years.
Moreover, this thing is damaged by one less. Not that no one has tried to replicate it, but no one has ever succeeded, but it has lost many precious soul guides.
"I have been established in Tiandou since then. Do you know what the Tiandou Empire looked like before it was established?"
"The heroes' separatist." This is the royal history. Qian Renxue has been following this point. She knows the history of the Tiandou royal family well, including the chaotic period before the founding of the country.
"What about before?"
"This... I don't know." Not only Xue Qinghe, he didn't know, Qian Renxue, she didn't know, because she had never seen any records in that aspect, Tiandou, and she had never seen anything like that in the Spirit Hall.
"That part is something that only the emperor can see, and you can see it after you ascend the throne, but what is known is that before that period of chaos, a long time ago, the mainland was once unified, and it was a very prosperous empire."
The world's general trend will be united after a long separation, and the combination will be united after a long separation. Before the Heavenly Fight, there were heroes in the division, but they were unified before that. The empire relied on not only powerful soul masters, but also powerful soul guides.
"The soul guides are all left over from that empire period. Later, the empire was destroyed. The method and craftsmen of the soul guides were all taken away by the survivors of the imperial royal family. It is said that they went overseas and established a small overseas country, but these are somewhat similar to legends."
There are soul guides on the mainland, but no one can make such soul guides. So where do these soul guides come from?
It is obvious that this thing did not pop out of the stone. As a tool used by humans, these tools were naturally created by humans, but there was a huge fault in the middle.
The years of war completely lost similar technologies. In addition, the empire paid great attention to this technology at the beginning, and all the craftsmen were taken away. Over time, the source of the soul guide became a mystery, and even the empire was forgotten by most people.
In this era, civilians have no national concept, and what they want is to eat and wear well. Therefore, it is not important for civilians to be emperor. As long as they can eat and wear well, no one will rebel.
"How distracting you from this matter, I will let the Royal Knights form an elite group to accompany you to protect your safety."
"Understood."
An hour later, Yueguan appeared next to Bibidong with ghost news and told the matter out, so Bibidong had the idea of notifying Xingluo.
After all, it is the territory of Tiandou. It is impossible for the Spirit Hall to rob it clearly. Even Tiandou will not agree to this kind of thing. This is an opportunity for the rise of the empire and no one will give up. Therefore, it is difficult for the Spirit Hall to intervene directly, and the Spirit Hall also has its own face.
But Xingluo doesn't care. They are also empires, especially for this kind of thing. Xingluo cannot sit idly by and watch Tiandou get these things. Even if the army is on an expedition, Xingluo will definitely get in. As long as this happens, the Spirit Hall will have a reason to intervene and can join in with the reason of mediation.
At the same time, the corresponding news was also sent to various sects. In less than a day, all the well-known people in the entire continent knew about this.
Steel Bristle is no exception, and he soon gave the summary news to Ye Qing.
Not long after Ye Qing returned to the Stardou Forest, he received this news. The news summarized by Steel Bristle is more detailed, and even the external map is roughly drawn. Although he doesn't know what it looks like inside, the location of the island is clearly marked.
Looking at the information summarized by Steel Bristle, Ye Qing always felt familiar. He seemed to have heard of this place.
"Bing'er, come and see." Ye Qing immediately called Bing Emperor.
"What are you asking me for?" Bingdi poked his head out of the room beside him, and the insect limbs on the corner of his mouth explained what she was doing just now.
Pointing to the map drawn by the steel bristle, Ye Qing asked.
"Bing'er, do you see this place look familiar? Whose territory is coming nearby?"
"Take it to me."
Looking at the map, Ice Emperor thought about the location in the map.
"This is the extreme north, there is Xue'er's territory, and here is mine... This is also mine on the coast. My territory goes north... I remember, isn't this the territory of the sea princess? Their sea princess is in the nearby waters, and it should be here."
"Princess Hai...I'll call and ask."
He took out the phone bug and dialed Princess Hai's number. Soon, the phone bug's appearance turned into a mermaid's costume.
"Isn't this the Lord Qingdi? Is there anything wrong?"
"It's not a big deal. Your territory is to the south, near the west of the far north, and has there been any country there?"
"...... in the sea?"
"That's right."
The other side of the phone bug was quiet for a moment, then Princess Hai continued to say: "Do you remember when I told you about the relationship between our Princess Hai clan and the half-mermaids?"
"Remember."
Ye Qing had not forgotten this incident. At that time, a group of people were arrogant and thousands of people called themselves a country, and they wanted to enslave the entire mermaid clan. At that time, Princess Hai was almost mad and directly led her tribesmen to flood the country with a tsunami. The island later sank and turned into a ruin under the sea.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing understood something.
"You mean that's where that is the ruins under the sea?"
"That's right, although that group of people is small, they are all very proud. They occupy a large piece of land over there and a bunch of strange things. They are very different from the soul master. There should be the island that was destroyed at the beginning, but I have never seen it. This is what the original Princess of the Sea was passed down."
Speaking of this, Ye Qing understood how the soul guide was lost. The history recorded in Tiandou is correct. Indeed, there was an empire on the continent, which would be called a super ancient empire.
The technology of this empire is very developed, but it just pointed the soul-guided technology of the technology tree. After retreating to the island, it was still extremely arrogant, and eventually angered the sea princess at that time.
In that era, Poseidon had not yet achieved the Sea God, and the sea princess was extremely powerful at the time, and she destroyed the empire with the power of nature.
All of this ultimately led to the loss of soul guide technology, and also reversed the development history of the mainland. As there are fewer and fewer soul guide devices left and there are no related technologies and mentors, it is very difficult for future generations to replicate this technology.
