Li Nuo did come up with a lot of ideas on how to defeat the Kraken.
The deep river shark tribe behind the female shark Weipa is one of the allies that Unas Ring can seek.
If we can get help from the sharks underwater, then the Deep Sea Branch will be much more relaxed when facing the Kraken and the Terror Sail Wizard.
The problem is that the sharks don't want to deal with humans.
Selina said that the Deep Sea Branch found the exact location of the Deep River Tribe based on the clues provided by Weipa.
The Shenhe tribe's stronghold is protected by a magic barrier. The existence of the barrier cannot be detected from the outside of the barrier, nor can the appearance of the inside of the barrier be seen.
The team from the Deep Sea Branch, following Weipa's guidance, touched the barrier and attracted the patrol team from the Deep River Tribe.
The exchange between the two parties was not pleasant.
The discovery of magical wards by humans seems to have aroused resentment, disgust, and even hostility among the Deep River tribe.
After the mermaid team took Weipa away, they used a few pieces of coral stone as reward, and then used a tough attitude to send away the wizard team from the Deep Sea Branch.
Because the attitude of the Shenhe tribe was very awkward and stiff, and many sharks showed their weapons,
The wizard team of the Deep Sea Branch ultimately failed to form effective communication with each other, let alone reach a solid cooperative relationship.
As for uniting with the sharks to deal with the Kraken, alas, Selina didn't hold out hope.
From a racial perspective alone, mermaids are more like sea monsters than humans. Both mermaids and sea monsters are aquatic creatures.
It would have been good if the sharks didn't join forces with the sea monsters to deal with humans.
It doesn't matter if the idea of forming an alliance with the sharks doesn't work. Li Nuo has another idea.
"I want to meet Roy Min." Li Nuo said to Selena in her study:
"Roy Min is the leader of that group of aliens, a woman, and she is also the captain of the disc ship. When Komini and I boarded the ship to guard the negotiation site, we met Roy Min and her crew. We may be able to find the methods of the other party's underwater creatures within the alien's knowledge field."
"Roy Min..." Selena repeated this awkward name, connecting it with the female alien with a wide forehead and receding hairline:
"Well, I know who you are talking about. Roy Min and her crew are now being held in a cell at the headquarters of the Wizards Law Enforcement Department. They must cooperate with the Unas Ring to study alien ships in order to obtain limited Freedom and the necessities of life. If you want to see her..."
Selena thought about it:
"I can help you do this. The cell of the Law Enforcement Department has a set of prison visitation equipment that transcends geographical restrictions. It can project your consciousness and communicate with criminals in an illusion body."
"No problem." Li Nuo nodded and then asked:
"Is there any wizard who wants to work with me? We both want to find ways to deal with underwater creatures within the alien knowledge field."
Selina shook her head:
"No. You should be the first wizard to think of asking for help from aliens. It's quite an alternative idea."
Selina raised a finger and shook it:
"Give me a few minutes and I will contact the Law Enforcement Department. Since you are a wizard law enforcer yourself, you will be authorized soon. If you don't mind, I would also like to join in and listen to your exchange. process."
"Okay." Li Nuo nodded.
Selina took out a pen and paper and wrote the letter on the spot.
After she sent the letter, the two of them waited for about 5 minutes before receiving a reply.
The reply had some magical lines drawn in ink.
Selina referred to the magic lines on the letter and arranged a magic circle dedicated to "projection consciousness" in the study.
In the center of the circle are two desks and chairs.
After the formation of the magic circle was completed, Li Nuo and Selina each sat down on a chair and entered a half-dream and half-awake state under the guidance of the magic circle.
Similar to the process of entering the "Court of Silence", Li Nuo's consciousness rose rapidly in the pitch-black environment, aiming directly at the iron-gray planet above his head that was bound by metal chains.
After plunging into the planet, the boundless iron-gray mist surrounded it.
Two seconds later, his eyes suddenly lit up.
A closed space illuminated by a magic wall lamp appeared in front of Li Nuo and Selina. The walls are made of earthy gray square stone bricks, and the room is rough and simple. There are only three chairs and a table in the room.
As the target of the prison visit, the alien woman named Roy Min was sitting at the metal table.
She placed her hands on the table, with heavy chains on her wrists.
She seemed to have seen the scene of prison visits too many times, and she acted relatively calmly at this time, with no look of panic or helplessness.
Li Nuo looked down at his and Selina's illusion bodies.
This is not a one-to-one human body, but two luminous cylinders with no external characteristics such as body contours, gender, age, etc.
On the table in front of Li Nuo, there is a classical gramophone.
The gramophone was started.
The black disc spins slowly.
The speaker of the gramophone first made a rustling sound, followed by a cold male voice:
"Good day, two visitors. This visit will last up to half an hour. Your communication with the criminal will be recorded and stored in the archives. The criminal in front of you has learned Una with the help of magic. Slumberton. Now, please start your work."
Li Nuo and Selina came to the table and sat down, looking face to face with Roy Min.
Li Nuo didn't rush to ask questions.
He is observing the other person.
Or rather, he was looking at all the metalwork in the small visiting room.
He still has a vivid memory of the Metal Archosaur's ability to transfer between metal objects at will, and he will never let down his guard.
This is true even if it is just his consciousness that has arrived here.
A series of deconstruction techniques were thrown out, and pieces of feedback information came to mind.
Li Nuo nodded secretly.
There is nothing that the system calls "abnormal" here, and the female alien opposite is also normal.
Oh, by the way, I have to ask Selina later what happened to the magic ship that originally belonged to Berkeley.
Whether it was dismantled into parts and sold to the merchant alliance in Balder's Gate according to the original plan...
Li Nuo reminded himself in his mind.
He calmed down and said straight to the point to Roy Min across the table:
"We have encountered some problems when dealing with enemies in the water. We lack the means to effectively kill them. If you can provide us with practical solutions, we will give you and your crew some assistance within the scope permitted by the law. help."
Roy Min crossed his fingers with his hands, rubbed them on the table, and asked in fluent Unas Ring dialect:
"I need to test the underwater environment you mentioned and obtain its environmental parameters before I can determine a solution."
Li Nuo said:
"Assume that the underwater environment is similar to the seawater you have encountered, what would you do?"
Roy Min lowered his head and thought for a few seconds:
"Then, there are many feasible solutions. First of all, you can consider using ultra-high-speed underwater bombs, which is what you call it here. In the Metal Creation Group, we call it a 'torpedo'. You can understand it as being able to Traveling underwater, a magic bomb with tracking capabilities.”
Li Nuo nodded slightly, as he expected.
Torpedoes should be the first underwater weapon that anyone who has come into contact with technological weapons and equipment can think of.
Roy Min continued:
"If torpedoes don't work, then you can consider ray magic. Sorry, I can't find the right word in your language. To be precise, what I want to mention is not ray magic, but..."
Roy Min was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while, she finally found the right words:
"It's a magic device that emits a special beam of light. Yes, that's how you understand it.
"The principle is this. Generally speaking, light beams are severely attenuated in seawater, but this is not absolute. There may be a 'window that allows light beams to pass through' in seawater.
“Light pillars of a specific color will be significantly smaller than other light pillars due to the influence of sea water.
"Exactly what kind of light beam can reach a range of several thousand meters or even tens of kilometers in sea water requires experiments to draw conclusions."
Li Nuo slightly narrowed his non-existent eyes.
Luo Min's words were vague, which would inevitably make the wizards think that she was making nonsense, but Li Nuo believed that the other party was justified.
Not only that, Li Nuo also recalled some popular science knowledge he learned before traveling through the other party's reminder.
It was mentioned in a short video that "blue-green light" can travel longer distances in seawater.
The blue-green laser beam weapon should be the only underwater laser weapon available in the sea water of the previous world.
If you put this content on the magic side, it becomes:
Adjusting the energy bands of ray spells such as "blazing ray" and "death ray" can allow them to have a longer range underwater.
The trouble is that the wizard's field of magic has not yet involved the study of "bands".
Most wizards only think about how to create bigger and more spectacular spells.
Li Nuo believes:
Combat spells are used to kill enemies.
Therefore, there is no need to pursue gorgeousness, just hit the spell accurately into the enemy's brain.
Now that I think about it, his simple idea comes from the combat concepts in war movies before time travel.
Simplicity and efficiency are the true meaning of combat, and beauty is just a waste of war resources.
Back to the current question and answer.
Li Nuo didn't care much about Roy Min's ambiguous answer, as long as he understood it.
"Are there any other plans?" Li Nuo asked.
At this moment, Li Nuo felt as if he was searching for information on "Qiandu".
Faced with Li Nuo's question, Roy Min thought for a moment and said:
"Seawater is a good propagation medium for vertical sound waves. Therefore, sound wave-type... er... sound wave-type magic devices based on vertical sound waves can also effectively kill and damage underwater enemies."
"The vertical sound wave..." Li Nuo was slightly startled.
Isn't this a longitudinal wave?
yes!
Li Nuo suddenly enlightened!
As taught in physics classes, sound waves are mechanical waves. When sound waves propagate in gas and liquid media, they are longitudinal waves. When they propagate in solid media, they may be mixed with transverse waves.
Technological side weapons developed based on longitudinal waves can also be effective in underwater environments.
Moreover, the effect of this kind of weapon in water will be much better than in the air.
Roy Min raised his hands, dragged the clattering chains, and made several gestures:
"I didn't find the corresponding words in your language, so I can only try to explain to you what I mean. The word sound wave is not accurate. The wave I want to describe is a..."
Roy Min was stuck again because there was no corresponding noun in the Unas ring.
She scratched her short hair on top of her head, looked at the gramophone again, and said with some distress:
"I think you are very strange, very strange. You have obviously invented the phonograph, but you don't know the existence of that kind of wave. This is not consistent with common sense."
Li Nuo glanced at the gramophone and recalled what Roy Min said. He probably knew what "wave" the other party wanted to say.
Nine times out of ten, it is infrasound, a sound wave with a vibration frequency less than 20 Hz.
Infrasound waves are not easily attenuated and are not easily absorbed by water and air, making them suitable for dealing with underwater sea monsters.
Li Nuo searched his mind for vocabulary from the native world, and quite unexpectedly discovered "infrasound waves" in the Tatis language.
"Amaili..." Li Nuo revealed the word "infrasound wave" in Tatis language:
"What you want to say is Acmeli, right? This is a sound wave with a vibration frequency lower than 20 times per second."
Roy Min stared at Li Nuo with wide eyes:
"Yes, that's what I want to say. Why don't I know the word Akmeri? Isn't this the language of Unas Ring?"
Selina next to her turned her head to look at Li Nuo curiously.
Li Nuo explained to her:
"This is a word in the Tatis Imperial language. The literal translation into Unas Ring language is 'sound waves that vibrate very slowly'."
Li Nuo turned to Roy Min:
"I believe what you said. In fact, after your reminder, I thought about some knowledge I have learned in the past. Thank you very much. If you can provide you with materials and venues, can you create the light pillar you just mentioned? device and sonic device?”
"It should be... no problem. But we still need to test the seawater environment first." Luo Min said.
Li Nuo said:
"So, what kind of reward do you want? A more spacious cell, or more food?"
Roy Min clenched his hands, lowered his head and said:
"I...I want a cell with a view of the sky. It will make me feel more free. The current environment is too depressing."
Li Nuo glanced at the other party with a scrutinizing gaze.
Because Luo Min is a synthetic human, Li Nuo cannot directly obtain her memory fragments using deconstruction.
Judging from the panel information available, Luo Min does not have an interstellar communicator on her body, and her energy core is a cold fusion reactor with a very low output power.
Judging from these two points, the possibility that she would initiate secret communications to the outer stars after moving into a cell with a view of the sky is very low.
But no matter how low it is, it is never 0%.
Li Nuo has not forgotten about "consciousness uploading".
Judging from the decomposition results obtained, the female synthetic in front of her is similar to the previous synthetics responsible for exploration, and both have the characteristic of "synthetic reincarnation".
…
【Name】Synth Reincarnation
[Type] Technology-side synthetic human cloning technology
【Effect】
When a synthesizer dies in battle, its main control chip will try to transmit the data in the "audio-visual data storage module" back to the adult's data server - the "Thinking Array".
The new synthetic human body will be put into use by the Metal Creation Group.
The new synthetic human body will inherit the audio-visual data of the previous synthetic human body to achieve as seamless a connection of consciousness as possible.
【illustrate】
Due to unknown factors, audio-visual data may not be transmitted back to the "Thinking Array".
…
Although the words "may not be sent back" appear in the panel information, Li Nuo still will not take it lightly.
He will always be highly vigilant about Roy Min in front of him.
"We will consider your proposal." Li Nuo looked at the clock on the gramophone and saw that there were still 15 minutes left.
Li Nuo was not in a hurry to leave and simply spent the remaining time chatting with Roy Min about technology.
It has to be said that Li Nuo's identity as an aboriginal member of the Tatis Empire has become Li Nuo's best cover at this moment.
He can confidently and boldly show off his knowledge of technology and explain it as the result of his study and life in the Tatis Empire.
As a history assistant who once worked at Berwick City College, it is reasonable for him to hear about other subjects through hearsay.
As the two chatted, Luo Min gradually became excited.
She was as excited as meeting a fellow villager in a foreign country full of strangers. She even couldn't help but complain in front of the gramophone:
"Learned Sir, I am willing to communicate more with you. You are much easier to communicate with than other wizards. I have to work hard to find the right words to explain what I mean to them.
"If I hadn't known that you were a wizard, I would have thought that you and I were from the same place.
"I remember you mentioned the Tatis Empire just now, where is this country?
"From your words, I discovered that the Tatis Empire is a country that has done a lot of research on Warmings. I really didn't expect that there is such a place in the world of wizards..."
The "warminsi" mentioned by Roymin is the transliteration of the Tatis word "science" in the Unashuan language. (In the following, “science” will be used to refer to “science” in various contexts.)
how to say.
Li Nuo and Luo Min, they are two people from different worlds and different cultural systems, and they have some sympathy for each other because they hold similar views in the field of science.
So much so that Li Nuo was thinking about whether he should find a way to get Roy Min out of prison and build a powerful scientific device for himself.
In this way, Li Nuo can use deconstruction to stably obtain energy shaping solutions.
Following this line of thought and thinking about it carefully, Li Nuo suddenly realized that Roy Min was a treasure to him.
From previous conversations, Roy Min mentioned the life and work scene within the metal creation group.
It is indeed an alien space force based on "electric energy".
Everything uses electricity.
This is completely consistent with Li Nuo's idea of using the element reactor to drive various energy-shaping magic creations.
In a sense, if Li Nuo builds a secondary dimension in the future, then Roy Min will meet the requirements to be an engineer.
But unfortunately, Luo Min was judged as a witch-level criminal, and the Wizarding Law Enforcement Department did not arrange for her to use money to atone for her sins.
Li Nuo couldn't use gold coins to fish him out of the cell.
Considering that there is an insidious Metal Archosaur squatting behind the scenes of the Metal Creation Group, Li Nuo is more cautious about Roy Min than he expects.
"Just wait for the news with peace of mind, Roy Min. My companion and I will discuss your proposal seriously after we return."
Li Nuo and Selena stood up and left the illusion body before the countdown on the clock was about to reach zero.
Roy Min stared blankly at the illusion body that quickly turned transparent.
With a clang, the stone brick wall door slid open.
The activated armor outside the door walked into the visiting room, pulled Roy Min up from the chair, and dragged him forcefully to the cell.
From the beginning to the end, Roy Min's eyes stayed on the place where Li Nuo's illusion body disappeared, as if he was looking at a light in the darkness, or as if he was examining a potential prey.
