Wandao long distance

Chapter 271 The Shadow of Chang'an
Just when he exclaimed, Li Qi felt a force strangling his vocal cords.

"No, talk." The big witch repeated.

Li Qi nodded.

But you really can't blame him just now.

He could feel the breath of dragon veins!

Zhenzhi Yun's clear feedback gave him the same feeling as that of the Chacha Terminal, that is, the majestic Dao that runs through all worlds and is almost indescribable in words!

He suppressed his emotions, silently followed the big witch and continued to move forward.

On the way, Da Wu began to explain to him.

"Aren't you curious about what a dragon vein is? It just so happens that I'm coming here tonight, so I'll show you where one of the closest devices to the dragon vein is, the second-rank peak magic weapon of humanity."

Li Qi naturally remembered the request not to speak, so he shut up and followed.

Then, soon, in this void, Li Qi saw the 'machine'.

It's true, mechanical.

It is not the ancient architectural style that is common in the Tang Dynasty, nor has the magic weapon and the line been integrated into an integrated terminal magic weapon or something like that.

Rather, it is purely mechanical, with countless rotating gears meshing with each other, the complex mechanical structure trembles, and the perfect escapement mechanism and balance spring system are arranged together on the rotating frame of the bearing.

Deep underground, below Chang'an, there is another Chang'an!
The underground of Chang'an is a mechanical city!
This is not the hidden cave that Li Qi guessed before, but a city!
Under the clean and orderly streets of Chang'an, there is a mechanical city like a shadow!
These machines are all interlocking structures, arranged steadily on the ground, and can be rotated, disassembled, and reassembled at will. Through a specific center, the surrounding three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes can be rotated at will.

Just like a clock and a single-tooth carry machine, the transmission between mana and the delicate mechanical structure transmits one level after another of commands.

These machines are all made of an alloy that Li Qi doesn't know, and are built with extremely good processing technology. Some servo lines composed of optical cables surround many hydraulic pistons in the center, and there is a complete set of protective devices on the outside. Flap.

Impeccable and flawless, no matter how you look at it, it is an exquisite machine with self-consistent logic and seamless circulation, and it can run for 10 years without stopping no matter where it is placed.

When watching the city run, people can't help but feel a sense of order spontaneously.

So complex, so delicate, trillions of parts made this great thing, so that Li Qiguang felt his brain twitching just by looking at it.

He had no choice but to put away his true knowledge, no longer to investigate carefully, but to analyze with his eyes only.

If he kept spreading his true knowledge, he was worried that his brain would be boiled. The things here were too complicated, and his body, which was accustomed to the flow of information, would feel unbearable!
The big witch led Li Qi to walk among them.

As he walked, he explained to Li Qi: "This is the owner of all terminals, as well as the magic weapon of all public facilities in the entire human world, and the basis for the smooth operation of the entire Chang'an."

Chang'an's ground, houses, and various infrastructures are all magic weapons.

It’s as if the human cities on the earth are all industrial products, no one will build a house with thatch in the city, even the ground is cement and asphalt, Chang’an is the same.

It's just turning industrial products into magic weapons.

The big witch walked steadily, and seemed to be familiar with it. As he walked, he explained to the terrified Li Qi: "This is the magic weapon closest to the dragon's vein."

"Peak of the second rank, the ultimate product of the joint creation of Li Dao and Human Dao, the 'Cardinal of the Worlds', the origin of all terminals, and the core of Tang Kingdom's endless network."

"The energy of the cardinals of all worlds is the human dragon vein, which can directly communicate with the human dragon vein here, but you just feel it, don't look, you will die."

Saying so, the big witch traveled through the infinite mechanical structure, and brought Li Qi to a huge pipeline.

It was really huge, Li Qi even thought that he was standing on flat ground, the ground around him was extremely flat and not slippery, the whole body was made of some kind of metal he didn't know, and it didn't emit any energy fluctuations.

If he didn't look far away, with his eyesight, he could see a circular joint connecting the pipeline in the distance, and he would even think it was a road.

And that 'distant place' is really far away, Li Qi conservatively estimates that it is about several thousand miles away.

Apart from Li Qi's good eyesight, the interface of the prototype can still be seen from such a distance. The reason is that the interface is too big.

As long as it is big enough to see, even if the distance between the earth and the sun is so far, you can still see the sun from the earth.

Li Qi couldn't estimate the size of the circular interface, which was beyond his observation ability.

The big witch walked on the pipeline, stepping casually: "The pipeline under our feet is a branch of the dragon's veins. Remember, don't look at it casually, you will die, and I won't be able to save you when the time comes."

He repeated this twice.

Originally, Li Qi wanted to use his true knowledge to look at the pipeline under his feet, but he stopped immediately when he heard this.

Little life matters, little life matters.

"Then, it's tonight's destination, and it's also my destination. When you get there, you can go back." Dawu led Li Qi from the pipeline to another path.

In this place, there are countless paths running through various facilities. These paths twist and twist and are extremely secretive. If Li Qi is left alone, he will probably get lost as soon as he leaves.

But without these paths, I am afraid that no one can walk through the interior of this huge machine.

Following the big witch, he left the pipeline.

Then, Li Qi saw a house.

Homes in this place...

So weird.

But the big witch quickened his pace and quickly walked to the front of the house.

Li Qi followed closely behind.

Inside the house, Li Qi saw the existence of people for the first time in this underground mechanical Chang'an.

Inside stood two officials who seemed to be from Chang'an.

One of them stepped forward: "Mr. Mixin, the two of us are responsible for the agreed tour of the 'Seismograph'. Who is behind you?"

"It's one of my juniors. He came to see it with me. Don't worry about him. Just let him look around the outside. Don't let him go inside."

The two looked at each other in embarrassment, and then one of them said: "...Maybe I need to ask for instructions. The original agreement was only for the husband alone."

"Well, if it doesn't work, forget it." Dawu didn't struggle too much, and readily agreed.

Li Qi kept in mind the previous warning not to speak, so he stood still and did not speak.

However, he heard a noun.

Seismograph...

Is it the seismograph in my understanding?
Li Qi had some doubts in his heart.

Soon, the request is over.

The two saluted: "Please come in, but you must stay on the periphery as you said."

"Of course, although there is competition, there is always some credit." Da Wu said.

It seemed that they really trusted each other's behaviors, so Li Qi entered the place that seemed to be a secret institution in such a grand manner.

As soon as he entered, Li Qi understood why Da Wu brought him here.

Here, ordinary people may not feel anything, except for a little dizziness, they will hardly feel anything.

However, for Li Qi, who has a true understanding of the rhyme, this place...is simply...

Simply...

No, he couldn't describe it.

Because, he saw countless things similar to Zhenzhiyun.

No, this is not Dao Yun, this is a Dao!
The force of nature between heaven and earth ripples at an extremely fast frequency, forming invisible strings one after another.

I don't know where these strings are connected, but an infinite number of strings spread outward. Every second, every string seems to be transmitting at a very high frequency, stirring with ripples, and then spreading itself The fluctuations are transmitted internally.

what's inside
Although Li Qi hadn't seen it with his own eyes, just now the great witch said that there was a 'seismograph' inside.

A machine called a seismograph is responsible for taking the information from all these strings and bringing them together.

Countless dense strings spread from the seismograph to different places and continued to extend. Li Qi couldn't imagine how many things this thing could detect.

The 'strings' here are all strands of Dao rhyme.

However, a simple root seems to be much worse than Zhenzhiyun.

However, there are an infinite number of strings here.

This is not 'Dao Yun', but a complete avenue!

Dao Yun is nothing more than some wreckage and fragments of the Dao, and one of them is called Dao Yun, but the combination of these countless roots is a Dao, and its personality and performance are so many times that it is true!
Dawu also seemed to be able to feel the existence of the avenue around him.

He sighed: "The seismograph formed by the combination of reason and humanity is embedded in the cardinals of all worlds. Its strings are endless and cover the world. There are nine parts from all sides, between mountains and rivers, and between caves and heavens. , inspecting and listening to the wise and foolish, and seeing it with my own eyes today, it really lives up to its reputation."

"Young Master Qi, you just stay here, don't move around casually, lest you die here, I will go in first, you stay here... just wait for an hour, after an hour, someone will come to pick you up."

"Keep your mouth shut from now on, just pretend you haven't been here, and just do what you normally do."

Hearing this, Li Qi immediately bowed to salute, but still did not speak.

Da Wu seemed very satisfied with Li Qi's silence, then he turned and left, disappearing into the depths of the room with the two human beings.

They are afraid to see the body of the 'seismograph'.

That's not where Li Qi can look.

However, just these peripheral fluctuations, Li Qi was already surprised enough.

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

He began to 'comprehend' these dao rhymes nearby.

Of course it's not the kind of illusory comprehension, sitting there and thinking hard, that's not comprehension, it's a waste of time.

The word "Shenwu" here originally refers to the meaning of inquiry, how to explore while sitting in place and dreaming?

The real comprehension is to test the nature of this avenue a little bit, understand and record the parameters, so that you can understand this avenue better.

He began to seriously collect information, collect statistics, make analysis tables, and summarize properties.

Expand the rhyme of Zhenzhi, and try to touch one of the strings.

If it is just a single root, true knowledge seems to be deeper and more noble than this.

Therefore, this tentative contact was successful.

However, without any reaction, Li Qi could only vaguely feel some voices.

It is noisy, the voice of countless people talking.

It was like the sound of countless people chattering on the streets of a busy city.

He changed a string and tried again.

This time, there was a sharp high-frequency sizzle, similar to the sizzle of a radio.

Tried several lines in a row, each time a different sound.

But it's always noisy and moot, like it's all noise.

Li Qi fell into deep thought.

He rummaged through his memory for records about the seismograph, and at the same time he was thinking about what these things represented.

"Houfeng seismograph... the cover is raised, shaped like a wine bottle, decorated with seal characters in the shape of turtles, birds and beasts, and covered endlessly. If there is an earthquake, Zun will vibrate the dragon, the machine will spit out pills, and the toad holds it. Vibrating sound It is exciting, and the attendant is aware of it, and looking for its aspect is the location of the shock." Li Qi recited this passage silently in his heart.

The meaning of this passage is to talk about the working principle of the seismograph.

"Is that right?"

Li Qi looked at the countless strings.

These things... are collecting sounds?

Then, the countless vibration information was transmitted to the location of the seismograph through these strings, and then analyzed?
I can't understand those voices, is it because the amount of information is too large, or is it encrypted?

But in any case, only the seismograph inside should be able to analyze it.

In this case...

What is the purpose of Dawu to let himself in?

It can be guessed that coming here is not without price, Da Wu must have paid extra chips to Humanity in exchange for staying here for an hour, and he has to make good use of it.

Collect data first and think about how to use it.

Thinking of these, Li Qi didn't delay any longer.

Zhen Zhiyun fully opened up, together with his own brain and senses, and began to 'perceive' the avenue of this place.

With a lot of data pouring into his brain, Li Qi started his own work.

However, an hour is too short.

Soon someone came to him and asked him to leave here.

Li Qi was helpless, but it was not easy to force him to stay, so he had no choice but to get up and leave here with the other party.

Before leaving, he took a deep look at the mechanical city.

The underground of Chang'an... there are actually such a magnificent building complex.

These underground things are the reason why Chang'an is so glamorous. All modern institutions in Chang'an are built on these underlying machinery.

So... only Chang'an has it?
Most of the cities in the Tang Kingdom should be like this, right?

In other words, under every large city, such a terrifying magic weapon is buried, which can maintain people's livelihood in normal times, and in wartime... I am afraid it is also a big killer.

And... can this be worthy of being at the peak of the second rank?

Li Qi was suspicious.

The so-called "Cardinal of the Worlds", the magic weapon of the peak of the second rank, the one underground in Chang'an is only a small part of the opponent.

The main body of the cardinals of all worlds is probably all the cities of the Tang Kingdom in the whole world... Wait, more than that!It should be the heavens and worlds, all the automatic machines under the cities of Tang Kingdom!

In this way, everything makes sense!

Why can terminals connect to other terminals without delay, even if they are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles, or even many worlds are still connected without delay.

The fundamental reason is that the terminal itself only needs to connect to a small part of the cardinals below the city, and then other things are done inside the cardinals of the worlds.

The main body of the Cardinal of the Worlds is probably not these machines, it is just his external manifestation. In essence, it runs through the heavens, and every small part of it appears under a city of Tang Dynasty, providing these cities with the necessary Automated service!

The more Li Qi thought about it, the more his scalp became numb.
