The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

It's just that the idea that the giant Guha is the most primitive god in the Velen world just came into being, and Leo couldn't help shaking his head again, not very confident in this speculation.

Because if the Guha giants are really ancient gods that appeared before the world of Velen was fully formed, then some legends will circulate anyway, and these legends will become either folklore or religious mythology.

But in the world of Vinylon, no matter which country's myths, legends and folktales there are no giants, as if people in this world do not have the concept of giants at all.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Leo regained some confidence in his speculation, because the concept of giants in the world of Velen is too clean, so clean that it seems to have been deliberately erased.

Although Leo was very curious about what happened between the ancient gods and giants in the world of Velen, he did not continue to spend too much time entangled in this issue. He put the book of Guha back in the bookcase , continue to walk to the upper tower.

It was just that when he was about to climb up to the fourth floor of the tower, only a few steps away, he paused a little, frowned, and paused for a while, and finally walked through the last few stairs and climbed to the fourth floor of the tower .

After climbing the stairs, he turned his head and glanced around, and his eyes fell on the only item in the tower on this floor, with an inexplicable wry smile on his face.

Before that, he had been speculating in his heart why this half of Yam Island had such a powerful repelling and suppressing effect of psychic energy. In his conjecture, there are witchcraft and magic factors, and it may also be the work of Omega-level advanced creatures, but no matter how wild his ideas are, he never thought that this matter has something to do with the Earth Federation, let alone One day, I will be able to see the products of the Earth Federation again.

When the Earth Federation had just entered the interstellar era and was in contact with other civilizations in the universe, the Earth Federation was in a weak state for a long time, and even the civilization level of the Earth Federation was classified as a low civilization. It is because there are very few psykers in the Earth Federation, and even more advanced psykers. When fighting against alien warships with advanced psykers, the soldiers in the battleship are often mentally attacked by the opponent's psykers before the battle begins. The shock crushed it.

The Earth Federation is also very aware of the reason, and has increased the intensity of cultivating psykers, and almost half of the resources are tilted towards the cultivation of psykers, but even this effect is very mediocre. It also requires a lot of resources and time, and it cannot be done in a short time.

It's just that, compared to the resignation of other civilizations, the people of the Earth Federation have never given up on finding other ways to solve the dilemma, and one of the many scientists in the Federation proposed to use the psychic energy that had appeared in the universe at that time. The Jammer was used as a prototype to create the idea of ​​a more powerful psionic suppressor.

After the scientist proposed the concept of the psychic suppressor, the Earth Federation Government paid special attention to it, so they immediately set about forming a research team, and the scientist became the leader of the team.

Because, in order to protect the scientist from being retaliated by the psykers who will be harmed by the psychic suppressor in the future, the scientist's information was designated as the top federal secret and was not made public, so Leo didn't know the scientist's identity. identity information.

However, at that time, perhaps the scientist himself never thought that he would succeed, and the federal government probably did not have too much expectation for this project. In fact, there were more than 300 similar projects in the same period, and the earth This behavior of the Federation is like a fisherman casting a net, thinking that there is always a net that can be harvested.

Two years after the establishment of the project, the scientist came up with the first finished product, and the effect of the finished product was astonishing. Psykers below the third level would be greatly affected if they entered the range of the suppressor, and psykers at the second level would be completely affected. Suppressed, level one psykers are almost indistinguishable from ordinary people.

After seeing the results, the Earth Federation immediately stepped up its research on psychic suppressors. For a period of time, the research funds invested in psychic suppressors were almost equal to the funds for cultivating psykers, and even surpassed the Earth Federation. Funding for the transformation of the space fleet and colonized planets.

After nearly two hundred years of continuous research, four hundred models of psionic suppressors have been improved. The effect produced by the best model can suppress seventh-level psychic users and have a certain impact on ninth-level psychic users. , only psykers who have evolved to the Omega level can be completely unaffected.

The creation of the Psychic Suppressor suppressed the role of Psykers in space warfare to a large extent, but the cost of this kind of weapon specifically targeting Psykers was extremely high. Even the most common ones cost quite a lot. It is based on an inter-galaxy spaceship that can sail in subspace, and the best one is more than a regular fleet composed of 600 warships and hundreds of thousands of people.

Therefore, in order to be able to manufacture this kind of weapon, the Earth Federation had to sell this weapon as a commodity to other civilizations in order to obtain enough funds to manufacture this weapon. Without increasing the number of capable persons, it has achieved a leap-forward improvement. This weapon was still one of the image cards of the Earth Federation until Leo came to the world of Velen.

However, even with this operation, the Earth Federation owns only more than a hundred psionic suppressors, which are mainly placed on some important locations and important spaceships of the Earth Federation.

This kind of psychic suppressor is different from the psychic interference device in Vinylon World. The psychic interference device is mainly used to interfere with the release of psychic energy, but its effect is very small. It can be used, but the effect may be greatly reduced, and there may even be some unexpected effects, such as psionic backlash and so on.

But the Psychic Suppressor suppresses all psionic energy in an all-round way, from the released psionic energy, to the psionic energy in the psyker's body, to all items related to psionic energy in the surrounding world. , the effect is definitely not comparable to that of a jammer,

Judging from the fact that level 5 psykers will also be suppressed by the psychic suppressor, the psychic suppressor in front of me is probably a strategic-level product, and there are very few exports of this level of products, and only a few high-level civilizations can use it. It is possible to buy it, and among these higher civilizations, the Wandering Civilization Weiya is one of them.

Leo looked at this huge machine that occupied half of the tower, and what he thought in his heart was not why this machine was here, but how this machine was placed in this tower, who installed and started it, and according to Based on the area of ​​half of Yam Island, there are at least six more similar machines.

Psychic suppressors are different from other machines. Once this kind of machine is turned on, it cannot be stopped. If it is forcibly closed, it will only cause permanent damage to this kind of machine. Therefore, these psionic suppressors can only be placed in high towers first. inside, and then it was opened.

But the problem is that the Earth Federation has never sold a prototype machine. The psychic suppressors sold in the past were installed at the location designated by the customer or on the battleship, and then turned on immediately before leaving. The core energy of this machine can support the machine. It has been used for about 700 years, so it only needs to be maintained within 700 years, and the maintenance personnel are all members of the Earth Federation.

However, several psychic suppressors have been installed in this tower now, so apart from the fact that this psychic suppressor has been completely cracked and can be switched on and off at will, the biggest possibility is that this tower is not a product of Vinylon, but are from other planets.

In Leo's guess, it should be that the Via people built such high towers on other planets, and then purchased the psychic suppressor from the Earth Federation, and then after the psychic suppressor was installed, the entire tower together with the psychic suppressor was installed. The suppressor was transported here together and re-secured.

Although this kind of thing sounds absurd, it is not impossible. At least before Leo came to the world of Velen, there was already a case of successfully transporting a psionic suppressor, and the method used was the overall transport method.

As long as the overall vibration index does not exceed the minimum value of the suppressor's internal monitoring system when carrying the psionic suppressor, it will not cause any damage to the psionic suppressor.

Now it seems that the psionic suppressor in the city of Yam may have been carried over in this way.

In order to find evidence in line with his speculation, Leo walked to the side of the tower, and carefully scraped off a small piece of gravel on the wall of the tower, then strengthened his eyesight through spiritual vision, and inspected the debris in his hand almost like a microscope .

"Sure enough!" Leo quickly found a favorable evidence to confirm his guess. In the debris, Leo found a very rare crystal, which showed a perfect seventy-two polygons, which is natural Yes, it is not processed the day after tomorrow.

And this kind of fine crystals can only be produced by rocks in one place in the entire universe, which is a resource star controlled by the Via people, and it is also a place for the Via people who do not want to continue wandering.

Clapping the dust in his hands, Leo stood up after obtaining the evidence. At this moment, he was completely sure that the Via people knew about the world of Velen, and that they had premeditatedly carried out some plans in the world of Velen, and the current Yam Island is likely to It is the most important part of the whole plan.

If it was not important, how could the Weiya people be willing to spend all their efforts to arrange seven expensive spiritual energy suppressors on this island.

Moreover, Leo suspects that there are more than seven psychic suppressors planned by the Weiya people, and there may be more. They are planning to cover the entire island, but the other psychic suppressors may be damaged during transportation. Can cover half the island.

As for what the Weiya people's plan is, Leo is not yet clear, but what is certain is that this plan should be related to the giant black city built by the Guha giant.

While thinking about things, Leo walked to the side of the psychic suppressor, squatted down, searched carefully for a while on the shell of the psychic suppressor near the ground, and then pressed a certain place, and found nothing unusual. , continue to search, press again, try again and again.

After trying eight or nine times, when his fingers lightly pressed the shell, he suddenly sank inwards, and then a disk appeared silently next to it, and several rays of light shot out from the disk, intersecting in the Together, a virtual interface is formed.

This interface is not the control interface of the suppressor, but the original data interface of the suppressor, which records the production date, activation date, production batch, product model and other data of the suppressor.

The reason why Leo opened this data interface was mainly because he was asked to copy the original data in a psionic suppressor during a certain mission, so he learned this method of opening the data interface.

Leo stood up, walked to the side of the disk, and then quickly pressed down the long-lost federal text on the disk, and then a data menu appeared.

He flipped through the data menu quickly. In his opinion, a large amount of data was useless data. He didn't stop until the page was flipped to the opening time and opening person.

What surprised Leo was that there was something wrong with the opening time above, because according to the above code, the opening time of this machine was 475 years after the cosmic time before he came to Velen, that is, It is said that this machine is a machine after 470 years ago.

"Time turbulence in subspace?" Leo quickly thought of a phenomenon that has not been fully confirmed.

When a spaceship sails in the subspace, it often encounters a subspace storm, and a kind of time turbulence is hidden in the subspace storm. This kind of time turbulence can send people and objects to the future or the past. Neither objects nor objects can withstand the erosion of the turbulent flow of time, causing the time factor in the body to be disordered, so they will all age, decay, and die immediately after leaving the subspace.

The reason why various civilizations in the universe believe that subspace time turbulence really exists is because the scavengers fleet of a certain civilization discovered a batch of warship remains. Just served in another moderately civilized fleet. Because the material used in this battleship is a unique spiritual energy material, it is considered by that civilization as an important step for its own civilization to enter a higher civilization, and it is widely publicized in various news media in the universe.

After discovering the wreck at that time, that civilization immediately sent people to buy the wreckage and conducted research. It was soon concluded that the wreckage indeed came from the battleship that had just entered service, and that battleship is now coordinating The fleet is performing missions in another star field.

In order to further confirm the results, the medium civilization immediately transferred the fleet where the battleship was located to the maternal nature under the suggestion of the special commissioner of the universe council, so that further comparisons can be carried out.

What is unexpected is that when the fleet was returning to the voyage, it encountered a subspace storm in the subspace, and the entire fleet disappeared.

It is also because of this incident that the Cosmic Council began to pay attention to the mysteries in the warp space storm, and found more clues related to time turbulence, but there has been no substantial evidence to prove that time turbulence really exists.
