Into the Immortal Cultivation - Chapter 1723

[Chapter 79: Corrupting the World Part 7]

Although “ember phenomenon” is a proper term in astrogeography, it refers only to the situation after the rocky planet is drained by the immortals, but it really vividly illustrates what the civilization on the planet will encounter at this moment. matter.

They will lose their “fire”.

After the mass extinction and the collapse of the biosphere, there will be no plants to convert solar energy into chemical energy for storage, so wood will disappear in a short time.

At this time, if civilizations are still struggling to survive, then they must learn to use fossil fuels, which are rarely explored in this universe.

Due to the existence of aura, the lifespan of complex machinery in this universe is much lower than that of a universe without spiritual energy, and machinery that is complex to a certain extent cannot even be manufactured. In contrast, “spell” is a concept that is easily discovered.

Therefore, almost no civilization will manufacture “gas engines”, and the demand for “fuel” will not be great. “Fossil fuels” are just “fossils” and not fuels most of the time.

But for planets where the ember phenomenon occurs, fossil fuels are the last and most reliable means of obtaining light and heat.

And after the fossil fuel is exhausted, the last “firelight” of this civilization can only be a spell-driven effect.

As the immortals draw away the last trace of the fire, the ember phenomenon occurs, and the “flame” will disappear in this world forever.

This civilization lost its fire.

However, even if there is no flame, it must continue to survive. Civilization’s demand for metals will not decrease, even if these metals cannot be used as smelting instruments, they can still forge tools.

After losing “fire”, “water” became the means of smelting.

That is, “water smelting”.

Dissolve the mineral salt in the ore with water, and then replace the metal element in the mineral salt solution with another element that is easier to obtain. The knowledge that appears in junior high school chemistry textbooks can actually be traced back to the very long past.

But on this planet, it’s not just that.

Through autotrophic microorganisms, the iron in the ore enters the water until it is saturated, and crystals are precipitated. Wang Qi looked at the small particles lying in the palm of his hand. After a simple smelting process, these mineral salt particles can be turned into smeltable metals.

Wang Qi nodded: “It’s a good idea…”

This approach is countless times easier than smelting ore directly with real fire. It is even said that specialized spells can reduce the mana consumed in this process to a negligible level.

This is a means for a civilization to perpetuate itself after losing its fire.

“However, hydrogen sulfide is also combustible, right? They…why don’t those bugs collect hydrogen sulfide?”

[Probably because oxygen is also an extremely important resource, right? For this planet, the content of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide has already surpassed that of oxygen. Breathing is not enough, burning is a “luxury” behavior. In addition, the cost of collecting these combustible gases may be too high, given the topography of the “valley” and the density of the atmosphere. 】

Professional expeditionary envoy analyzed the road.

Wang Qi nodded and once again looked at the dam that was at most two stories high.

This is the struggle of a civilization without fire and its demise. And this building may be the tallest building on the ground.

Wang Qi rose again and flew along the valley.

After a few minutes, he realized a problem.

“Oh, I suddenly felt that these bugs might actually be very smart…at least not primitive herd species.”

【What did you find? 】

“The dykes. The distance between those dykes is very far.” Wang Qi said: “Considering that the underground world is three-dimensional, the area occupied by a beast group will not be very large, but here, the distance between the dykes is all in tens of kilometers or more.”

【Yes…that is to say! In fact, these herd species are not as exclusive as we think? ]

[No, not only that. If you want the most efficient smelting, then the whole river should be smelting the same kind of metal…they are more collaborative than we thought? 】

For this civilization that has gone underground, the most important thing is ore.

Wang Qi nodded. Suddenly, he frowned and sighed slightly.

【what happened again? 】 “No, it’s not on my side, it ‘s

on the other side, I’m still reporting.”

……………………………………………………………………………………

The discovery made Wang Qi so excited that he thought he could be sure that this strange herd was unexpectedly very civilized.

On the other side, Wang Qi also encountered an unexpected development.

He is reporting.

Xianlu gave the right to travel among the stars to all civilizations that had just left their home planet. But relatively, the existence of this magical heavenly road did not solve the communication problem. After passing through the fairy road, any signal will be evenly distributed to the entire observable universe, so weak that it cannot be detected.

Whether it is the “manpower transfer” of the unhurried cultivator, or the magic entity gifted by the dragon family, the “bandwidth” is limited. Therefore, the human race’s interstellar communication ability is actually very weak.

And this relatively low communication ability in itself, and most of it is controlled by the Expeditionary Division, which is used to strengthen the ability to control each “administrative region” and dispatch massive resources.

On the other hand, as a pioneer, Zhengtian Division’s requirements for communication are not so high. Correspondingly, the freedom of expedition angels is much higher than that of expedition envoys.

Of course, this is not without its disadvantages. In fact, some of the mysterious disappearances of Angel Zheng are all because Angel Angel is too free and arbitrary, which has put him in danger.

It is precisely because of these various administrative reasons that Wang Qi has not waited until now for a period of less communication to report to the headquarters of Zhengtian Division of Yang Yuan’s journey.

A piece of Wang Qi’s consciousness dived into the illusion. He was able to complete multi-threaded thinking very early, and reporting work here did not affect his exploration of the map on that unnamed planet.

However, when he faced his immediate boss, Feng Boon, he was indeed a little nervous.

Because, his initial mission was to use the extremely fast time flow of Yang Yuan to raise his own cultivation. But now, he seems to have smashed Yang Yuan’s place.

“…The above are all the things that happened in Yangyuan. These details were basically mentioned in the report we submitted before.” Wang Qi sighed, and then said sincerely: “I still feel that my actions There is nothing wrong with it, but if there is punishment, I am willing to bear it.”

“Punishment?” Feng Boon instantly showed a surprised expression. Then, he nodded: “Oh, punishment. Well, yes, because of your arbitrariness, the Xianmeng lost the right to use the Yangyuan area. This is indeed a considerable loss.

” The Yuan region has great powers to watch, so it never dispatches core combat power or core personnel to the Great Sun Territory of Tianyang. And this also means that the time that is ten times longer than that of Shenzhou cannot be an effective “resource. It is more just for some marginal monks in the Nirvana period to pile up mana and find “ordinary talents under the Yuanshen Law to promote longevity”. Therefore, the

value of Yangyuan is actually not as great as Wang Qi imagined.

However, for the organization of the Xianmeng, this is indeed a big loss.

“However, Zhengtiansi really shouldn’t treat you here . punish. There is no joke in Feng Boon’s expression, he is serious. The old man said: “You are just fulfilling your duty as an angel.” If you insist on saying ‘wrong’, then it is very serious that you are taking risks within the jurisdiction of the Department of Zhengyi. ”

Wang Qi was a little surprised: “Wow… You didn’t get scolded?” After this happened, my teacher could not wait to throw a heavenly sword at me from above. ”

“Mr. Yuehan… Haha. That’s why you are in the Tiantian Division. This is originally what the Zhengtian Division should do to determine the ‘value’ of a planet, and obtain this ‘value’ through various means.” Feng Boon stared at Wang Qi and said, “You judge that the value of ‘the news of the ancestral family’ is greater than that of ‘Yangyuan’, which is indeed very reasonable and logical. Just that the information of the ‘beautiful god’ ethnic group can be confirmed, It has already triggered a round of changes in the Immortal League. We know more things, and we can have more plans for future exploration. And, because of the information we know, we can go to the Dragon Emperor to ask for more information These are all very valuable. If it was me, I might make a similar judgment.”

When he said this, the leader of the Zhengtian Division looked at Wang Qi, as if there were still a few more. Appreciation and recognition.

“Using a calculator to exhaust the text is really a great idea.”

But this made Wang Qi feel weird.

The Yangyuan Zhengyi Division communicated with the Yu people in a veiled manner, concealed some things intentionally or unintentionally, and refused to change the original social atmosphere of the Yu people. This made him realize that Zhengyisi was by no means truly charitable.

But now it seems that Zhengtiansi is much more radical than Zhengyisi…

It seems that he can see what Wang Qi is thinking, Feng Boen said: “Well, of course, most of the time, ‘guarantee the integrity of the original civilization’ and ‘guarantee the integrity’ The integrity of the ecosystem is the responsibility of Zhengtian Division, because in most cases, the research value of these two things on a planet is the highest. Therefore, your approach is not the usual approach. And if you are simply self-willed in the future If it has a bad impact on the native civilization or destroys the ecosystem, then the person you met when you came to Zhengtiansi is your role model.”

Wang Qi’s heart sank.

It seems that the core idea of Zhengtiansi is simpler than he imagined. The various existences of this universe are far from being able to be summed up by human imagination. There are many situations where it is bound to fall outside the “established rules”.

The “discretion” of the levy angels allows them to have a higher degree of freedom to a certain extent.

The core idea is to maximize the interests of the Xianmeng only.

It is not a temporary benefit, not the benefit of one person or a group, but the overall benefit.
