Things from Another World - Chapter 1202

[1202. Chapter 1200 The Value of Prehistoric Civilization]

The mining robot that was killed by Egwin fell to the ground, completely transformed into an experiment by Jindi and the others.

Tang En and Egwen stood nearby and watched the goblins and dwarfs of the archaeological team working on the mining robot, and suddenly felt that the style of the painting was particularly funny.

It’s more like scientific research than archeology – because the technological content of mining robots is obviously several levels higher than the current technological level of Purandar.

A group of dwarfs and goblins with only medieval skills are trying to dismantle an autonomous intelligent mining robot that has entered the space age, and are also trying to find out the secrets inside. To be honest, the technological gap is so big that it is impossible to do it. That’s good!

It’s like Earth’s civilization suddenly gives you an alien mining spacecraft that can travel across galaxies and asks you to dismantle it. You probably won’t be able to figure out what the structure is inside even if you dismantle it.

Because the gap in technological level is really too big.

Kindidinger and the others were very interested and didn’t think much about it at all.

Then again, the two races have now excavated a lot of useful things from various ruins, and even learned some things from those fragmentary documents, and restored a lot of strange equipment – such as Talking about dwarf shrinking rays, gravity wells, etc…

So it cannot be said that their archaeological behavior is useless. It is just that compared with scientific research, the expected benefits of digging ancestral graves are relatively small, and more of them are unexpected benefits.

After confirming that she would stay with Tang En here for a few days, Aegwin has been very quiet. Most of the time, Tang En said that she was listening, but Tang En didn’t take it seriously. She just listened with a smile on her face. Tang En was already very satisfied.

“There are many technologies in these mining robots that can be used by us, such as gyroscopes, navigation systems, power sources, furnaces, etc…”

Tang En pointed at the mining robots and said with a smile: “The premise is that we can Understand the technical principles here – Jin Di, have you found anything?”

Jin Di shouted very happily: “Of course! We have discovered something that is suspected of being an energy path, and we are tracing it backwards, and we may be able to find this construct. Energy core! After finding the energy core, you can try to dismantle it and recycle it elsewhere.”

Tang En sighed. Until now, the dwarf’s thinking has not changed, and he just wants to dismantle the useful parts. Come down, and then assemble it elsewhere for use, but you have never considered studying the principles inside.

Now the dwarves have a lot of pieced-together equipment. The energy used by these equipment is still the energy left over from prehistoric civilization 10,000 years ago. They only know how to dig it out and use it. They have no ability to produce this kind of energy at all, and even among them The principle is unclear.

Now it is not that easy to figure out the technical principles of this mining robot.

But if they had paid attention to the accumulation of technical knowledge in this area from the beginning, they would have returned to the era of the Industrial Revolution no matter what.

It is a pity that they are still stuck in the weird medieval period. While using unimaginable dwarf shrinking rays, dwarf gravity wells and other advanced equipment that require extremely huge energy requirements, they are still using backward energy sources such as steam engines.

Energy is the foundation of everything.

Jin Di and his group of archaeologists, or engineers, were busy for a long time with various tools. After tracing back along the energy transmission path, they actually discovered the energy core of the mining robot.

It is indeed just a core, not a power furnace – because the energy module that powers the entire mining robot is only as big as an adult’s head. It has a circular structure and is composed of silver-gray metal. The outer shell has extremely precise lines. There is something unknown inside. Even though the central control system has been destroyed by Egwin, the silver-gray metal ball is still suspended in mid-air.

The periphery of the metal ball is a layer of transparent special glass, which is isolated from the surrounding area. Through the glass, you can see that there are two bases above and below the metal ball. The energy path that maintains the operation of the entire mining robot extends from here.

Tang En, who was following behind, began to think about it. He originally considered that the dwarfs and goblins already had the ability to easily land on the moon, and even had the technical level to transform satellites. In other words, the energy they used was likely to be controllable nuclear energy. Fusion, and it’s stable and efficient.

But…

this mining robot has been sleeping for ten thousand years. When encountering an emergency, it can actually wake up and conduct self-tests. It can even continue to restore energy. This is really not like nuclear fusion – Tang En didn’t listen. It is said that some nuclear fuel can continue to react for ten thousand years after adding it once…

This means that the energy technology used by the dwarfs and goblins is probably not the nuclear technology route at all – this is also easy to understand, after all, they are different With different civilizations and different universes, it would be weird if they all followed the same path of nuclear physics.

So the question arises – what kind of energy system can allow a robot to sleep for so long, still have 12% of the energy after ten thousand years of decay, and even drive the robot’s activities, and will continue to function after it is started? What about automatic charging?

Tang En didn’t know that this kind of thing was beyond his level of knowledge. Even if the experts on the earth were to come, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to explain it.

Maybe…

Tang En suddenly thought of the mysterious star realm. Could it be that the energy used by the prehistoric civilization of dwarfs and goblins was also drawn from the star realm?

I don’t know, I don’t know, maybe only by finding a way to dismantle an energy core can I get a glimpse of the mystery inside – but whether it can be understood and whether it will explode after being dismantled is another matter.

Tang En leaned over and asked: “Jin Di, have you ever dismantled the energy core?”

“Remove it?”

Jin Di was stunned for a moment: “Why do you want to dismantle it? How precious this thing is!”

“It is very precious, but if you don’t dismantle it, , it will always be so scarce. If you understand its principle after disassembly and can produce it yourself, wouldn’t it be much better?” “

This, we haven’t thought about it!”

While directing the disassembly work, Jin Di said to Tang En: “But I heard that the great craftsman tried to dismantle the energy core before, but he found that we have no ability to dismantle the shell of this thing, no matter what means we use.”

oh?

Clotho ever tried?

“We couldn’t even use destructive dismantling methods to destroy this thing. It’s really too strong.”

Jin Di pointed at the energy core and said: “Later, everyone gave up. As long as we can find a way to extract the energy inside this thing, Energy usage is enough.”

“I see… Are there any similarities between the small energy module used by your dwarfs to reduce the ray and this large energy module?” “

Of course, it is not so much similar, but it is better to say that one is a large energy module. One is a big one and the other is a small one. They work exactly the same.”

Jin Di sighed: “Sometimes I really admire our ancestors. How they developed such sophisticated instruments is really incredible. .”

Is this admiration?

If you knew that a CPU with a size of a few square centimeters had hundreds of millions or billions of transistors integrated into it, wouldn’t you still explode on the spot?

“Speaking of which…”

Jin Di suddenly looked at Tang En with some confusion: “You actually know about the dwarf shrinking ray? Not many people even know about the dwarves. Where did you hear it?”

Tang En was confused. He smiled in surprise and said: “I heard it from the elves a long time ago. They said that the dwarf shrinking ray played an important role in the chaos invasion war.” “

That’s not true!”

The simple Jindi immediately said Tang En diverted his attention and said proudly: “Although the dwarf shrinking ray was not used on the battlefield, it played a great effect in the transportation of material logistics. When space equipment was scarce, the dwarf shrinking ray was used Miniaturizing materials and then transporting them saves a lot of time and improves transportation efficiency.”

Tang En just mentioned it casually, but he didn’t expect to hear interesting news.

“Since we knew that the dwarf shrinking ray was so useful at the beginning, why didn’t we conduct research and development specifically later?”

Tang En still wondered why the dwarf didn’t concentrate on breaking through a key technology, but instead dug up ruins and technology trees all over the world. A mess.

“It’s still the reason from the beginning.”

Jin Di sighed: “Our current knowledge and skill levels are simply not enough for us to see the true secrets of ancestor technology. We can only learn bit by bit and strive to accumulate more knowledge. Knowledge must improve our overall level.”

Tang En nodded and fell into deep thought. The reserve of knowledge is indeed important, but if it is just a reserve but cannot be converted into actual productivity, it will be a bit troublesome for him. .

After all, there isn’t much time left for him.

Perhaps, it’s time for Clotto to find a way to study these relic technologies in depth. Being able to convert some of them into usable technologies can greatly improve their current overall military strength.

Among other things, after the gyroscope technology is developed, the huge problem of the inertial navigation system has been solved. It can be equipped with a simple inertial navigation system for the magic car airship and so on, which greatly facilitates travel and can effectively prevent the deviation of the route. shift.

If the Dongfeng series missiles are equipped with inertial navigation, the accuracy of shooting can be further improved…

Just as Tang En was thinking deeply, the voices of the members of the dwarf archaeological team suddenly came from the entrance to the ruins in the distance. The archaeological team seemed to They were all alarmed. They immediately put down their work and ran over.

“There is a discovery below!”

The archaeological team who went to explore the path below shouted very excitedly: “There seems to be an ore refining center below!”
