Zhang Ming had goosebumps all over his body. Even with the protection of the source of the world, it did not bring enough sense of security, and unimaginable panic reverberated in his heart.
But on the other hand, he fell into a subtle contemplation, because the unimaginably grand existence just now seemed to have left a few words in his mind.
[Foreigners, this is the seal of the world, leave quickly! 】
[If you open the seal, all life will be ruined, and you will be punished by God! 】
【Leave quickly! 】
Zhang Ming was sure that these words in his mind came out for no reason after touching the milky white substance.
The tone was like someone roaring furiously in his ears.
"Okay, it's just a touch, don't be so sensitive..." Lao Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Just a few words, but it reminds people of a lot.
Is there anything that actually needs a demon-level sealed object to seal? !
"The formation of the abyss may be closely related to the so-called 'Seal of the Great Thousand Worlds'... I just don't know whether the abyss is a positive product or a negative one."
He was shocked by the majestic courage of the unknown civilization and the confrontation with the demon "Ten Thousand Eyes".
"The power of Ten Thousand Eyes has actually affected the evolution of life. Only those who are born blind can survive..."
"All life forms with 'sight' are no match for Wanyan."
"On a certain day, ten thousand eyes will swallow the sun. If the demon succeeds, no creature with eyes will be allowed to be born in the world."
"So the civilization found a god-man who was born blind, named Six Blind, and killed the demon god on the day when the Tengu eclipsed the sun."
In just a few words, it is really as angry as a tiger swallowing thousands of miles.
Zhang Ming is not sure whether the so-called "thousands of eyes swallowing the sun, and all the world is blind" is an exaggeration, because that description really belongs to the realm of mythology and is completely beyond the scope of human understanding.
The eyeball of this demon god "Ten Thousand Eyes" is tens of kilometers long. Even if this god is born without eyes and restrains "Ten Thousand Eyes", how powerful must he be to kill this behemoth?
As for who placed this seal, and what the name of this civilization was, it is still unknown...
"Born blind creatures, blind fish and other species still exist to this day. I don't know whether I should believe in the theory of evolution or this paragraph of discussion..."
Zhang Ming frowned, thinking hard, and murmured to himself: "But what needs a demon-level sealed object? How powerful must the being who laid this seal be? A war in the age of mythology?"
"Who is at war with whom? Shimama, you should know something about it, right?"
Shimama recalled for a long time before saying: "The old mythology era and the new mythology era...the rules of the world may be different."
"The Demon God at that time was different from the Demon God at this time. There are more and more restrictions these days, and strong people are rare, which is not necessarily a bad thing."
Zhang Ming smiled and said: "So what you are saying is that there were more strongmen in the past, but not now? Everyone is a loser these days?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Black Stone said in that old voice, "There is such a magical existence as the 'World' these days. In the past, there seemed to be no 'World'... Of course, it may also be caused by memory errors."
Zhang Ming suddenly asked curiously: "If there is no 'world', are the previous civilizations all indigenous people living in the Sea of Demon Gods?"
"That's right, isn't Xuanwu aboriginal..."
"In the past, were there things like nuclear bombs? There weren't any, right? There was no technology?"
"What is a nuclear bomb?" Shimamaqi asked.
"What, you don't even know this?" Zhang Ming's face trembled a few times and he explained, "Have you ever played that game called Red Alert? You don't think the nuclear bombs there are made up by humans, do you? It’s naturally real.”
Shimama was silent and couldn't explain why. Maybe Xuanwu hadn't developed a high level of intelligence at that time, so it really couldn't remember clearly.
However, this guy still said contemptuously: "You want to blow up the devil with just this nuclear bomb? What kind of dream are you doing!"
"Okay, it seems like they are really two different worlds." Zhang Ming nodded seriously. In the past era, there might not have been nuclear bombs.
As for the cause of the formation of the "abyss", it completely exceeds Zhang Ming's current investigative capabilities.
Any existence involving the devil will meet a cold death if you are not careful.
In addition, the seal here is still intact, so Zhang Ming cannot do anything to seek death out of curiosity.
The existence of the "Great Thousand World Seal" has also given some useful revelations: for example, there are very few monsters around the seal. As long as the ship stays directly above the seal, the probability of being attacked by monsters will also decrease.
Of course, everything has pros and cons. If the "Great World Seal" is broken, the ship directly above will be impacted immediately.
"Forget it, don't worry about it for now. Even if you are a war reporter, you still have to be strong enough. I have digested most of the rules of the Space-Time Insect and become half a demon. Only then can I possibly decipher the truth."
Because his mental value plummeted and he was really tired, Zhang Ming took a few sets of clothes from the closet and decided to go to Honggang Man to inquire about historical information from ancient times and rest for a while.
"Exploration activities in the abyss consume mental energy at a much higher rate than normal."
"It shouldn't be a problem for me to take advantage of Honggangren's World Source protection now, right? Modern life, haha, here I come!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Ming jumped off the boat happily and used King Kong's ability to push the boat forward quickly.
…
…
The two Honggang men washed the ore for three days and three nights. They were dizzy and pale due to the depressing environment, and even their spirits were in a trance.
This is the result of continued accumulation of mental stress.
These two guys, even though they are strong men who have broken through the three human limits, have no experience of being separated from society for a long time.
The environment in the abyss is ten times and a hundred times worse than the Sea of Demon Gods, so the two Honggang men just "faced the catastrophic situation and had only responsibility" and forced themselves on.
"It's almost washed, and the remaining pollution is very small. Our staff can overcome it."
Gondor was sweating profusely, and the diving protective suits were already stuffy and hot. In addition, they had to be on guard against monster attacks at any time. These three short days felt like three years had passed.
Rhenium was also blushing, and his thinking was rigid due to mental exhaustion: "Well, we have to take these ores back and use the high-temperature steam in the workshop to clean them up."
"We need to take a break too."
"The quality of this ore is so good!"
"Yes!" Tired after tiring, the two guys were very satisfied with the harvest this time.
Suddenly, Rhenium saw a sailboat approaching!
Behind the sailboat there is a shining golden humanoid creature pushing the boat.
Facing this miraculous scene, Rei laughed dryly: "Admiral, Your Excellency the Extraordinary One has a debt, but it's nothing. It's good for us to have a good relationship with him... It just so happens that we can go back together."
Gondor nodded, dialed the communicator, and contacted the base camp: "Tongba, are you ready for the reception! Are the corresponding ceremonies ready?"
"Ready, Admiral, you can bring him up at any time."
…
When the sailboat arrived, the two Honggang men were shocked when they saw Zhang Ming's strange appearance!
I saw the two eyeballs of this extraordinary person protruding outward, like bulging ping pong balls!
The entire person's complexion seemed to have been smeared with a layer of dust, giving it the look of a zombie's death. Especially the protruding eyeballs covered with scarlet bloodshot eyes, looking like a murderer in a state of madness!
"Oops... you're not going crazy, are you!" Gondor was sweating profusely and asked bravely, "Sir, how do you... feel? Is there anything gained at the bottom of the abyss? Do you... still know me? me?"
Zhang Ming said with some curiosity: "You... Gondor, am I right? Well... I'm a little tired now, and I have gained a little. You don't think there are a lot of minerals in the abyss, right?"
"No, no, no, the minerals must be scarce... Do your eyes need treatment?!"
Zhang Ming rubbed his protruding eyes vigorously: "I was injured by a monster below. Don't worry, you will recover after a while."
The devil is naturally a monster too!
He, Lao Zhang, didn’t lie!
"That's it!" The two Honggang people looked like they suddenly realized.
They didn't dare to completely believe what Zhang Ming said.
But he was embarrassed to refuse him boarding. At least at this moment, this extraordinary person was awake.
In the end Gondor made up his mind to bring the other party into the mothership.
"Please follow me."
"I found an area where there are relatively few monsters." Zhang Ming first told the good news, "If the ship stays there, it will receive fewer attacks."
"real?"
"But that area may be the domain of a powerful being. That powerful existence is almost impossible to defeat and is currently in a state of slumber... Whether you go there or not depends on you."
Gondor fell into deep thought. Is it such a big problem from the beginning?
…
Zhang Ming officially entered the shelter of the Source of the World. After passing through the faint ripples of the water, his eyes lit up and he saw an extremely huge steel ship!
The bow of the iron-clad boat pierced the blue waves. Even if it was stationary, the stirred up waves swept over the side of the boat with gray-black spray, and merged with the turbulent waves at the stern of the boat, leaving a shining water strip.
The ripples expanded to the distant sea, creating thousands of waves.
On the deck, the most conspicuous thing is a huge purple-gold gun barrel, which is the main gun of this giant ship.
This main cannon is a full hundred meters long. With Zhang Ming's current vision, he can see countless subtle, tadpole-like rune-like structures engraved on the barrel, exuding dim supernatural fluctuations.
"This thing shouldn't be a decoration. This barrel is really powerful." Zhang Mingben liked this kind of rough war weapon.
The top commander of this giant ship, an old comrade from Gondor, was introducing with some pride: "This is the main war weapon of our ship, the Mountain Destroyer Cannon... It is powerful enough to kill a mountain with one shot!"
"Its range can reach thousands of kilometers and it has a certain degree of tracking technology. Of course, if a monster invades, no matter how powerful this cannon is, it will be useless."
Zhang Ming nodded and thought to himself: "Earth's civilization has long been in the era of missiles, and the Honggang people are still building giant ships and cannons. However, with the blessing of supernatural technology, which technical route is correct must be found in war. Get tested.”
He doesn't look down on people on Earth just because he is human. Maybe this thing is very cheap?
The greatest use of weapons is war. Just comparing numerical values is meaningless. The so-called most advanced destroyer "Zumwalt" is expensive and needs to be repaired at every turn, which is of no use.
"This is our short- to medium-range attack weapon, a steam machine gun. The speed of ordinary bullets is 1,500 meters per second. If equipped with rune bullets, the speed can be faster and the power can be greater. But the disadvantage is that it has to be connected to the mothership A steam furnace can be used.”
Zhang Ming nodded. He remembered that only the most high-end sniper rifles in humans could achieve this speed.
He received a few rune bullets, which were actually ordinary steel with some fine patterns engraved on them, but these patterns did not produce supernatural effects.
Gondor explained: "In order for the rune bullets to work, they must be stored in a special box. The specific principle is somewhat similar to abyss pollution. Let the formation structure in the box assimilate these bullets. Of course, this Assimilation is positive and short-lived.”
"And the patterns on the surface of the bullet can store a small amount of spirit. When fired like this, the power can be even greater!"
"That's it." Zhang Ming suddenly realized.
Whether a civilization is strong or not is reflected in every aspect of the details.
The most critical point among them: economy and cost!
Economy is an objective law, and the development of all civilizations needs to be restricted by the economy.
If the cost of such rune bullets is high, then it makes no sense, but now, low-cost supernatural bullets made using the "assimilation effect" are something humans have never thought of.
In other words, someone may have thought of it, but there is no way to do it in the short term.
"Your Excellency, please come this way."
Gondor took off his diving suit, waved his hand politely, and presented a small box: "If you like these bullets, you can accept them."
Lao Zhang naturally accepted it shamelessly.
He doesn't need it himself, humans... do!
There were no curious onlookers along the way. There were only a few bearded men greeting guests. They stood near a flag with a furnace printed on it and performed a salute. Every move looked very formal.
This is completely different from the experience in the three-tailed monkey world. In the three-tailed monkey world, Lao Zhang felt like a monkey in the zoo, surrounded by a large group of monkeys.
But here, he clearly felt a kind of respect and courtesy, although this respect was related to the strength and value he showed.
"Hey, this is normal. If I were a monkey, who would respect me?"
It has to be said that a truly intelligent civilization and systematic reception ceremony must be designed and considered by many experts, taking into account the comprehensive feelings of the guests, and will not impose its own etiquette and customs.
"This giant ship is as stable as land. It is three times the size of aircraft carriers on the earth, but it is more than one level smaller than the Azurite people's 'Hope' class multi-million-ton giant ship. Looking at it this way, the Azurite people are really The most vigorous one is worthy of being the pinnacle civilization."
