  Chapter 645 Ghost Crystal Engine

  Following Ian's use of his soul to touch the Book of Silver Glory.

  At the bottom of Lake Laian, silver gravel suddenly began to rise and dance.

These gravels were just ordinary dust in the past, no matter how you check them, you can't see the slightest clue, but now, under the influence of the Book of Silver Glory, they begin to emit light and suspend in the water, forming one after another. Bizarre mockups.

Most of these models present strange geometric shapes. They are made of silver sand and they are solid and smooth. It is hard to imagine that the Primarchs are all inconspicuous sand dust—the Imperials may have explored the bottom of the lake, but they did not The Book of Silver Brilliance was brought here, so I could only see an ordinary, dark and dirty sandy land at the bottom of the lake.

   Now, Ian, who holds the Book of Silver Glory, stands on the Holy Land, and uses his soul to communicate with it, finds that he has actually unlocked the blockade of some special information banks in the Book of Silver Glory.

   Sure enough, that is not a combination lock, nor is it a lock that restricts soul blood... It is a terrain lock!

  Information that can only be unlocked in a specific area!

  Ancient memories flowed in Ian's heart, causing him to see a scene that was both familiar and strange to him thousands of years ago.

  —That was a catastrophe.

  —But it is not the same as the disaster that Ian Guo guessed.

  At this moment, in front of Ian, the silver dust formed a model of a planet and two satellites.

   is exactly the model of Terra and its two moons, Phantom and New Moon.

  Of course, according to the ancient name of the pre-epoch civilization... it should be the Moon of Watch and the Moon of Observation.

  Two moons are revolving around Terra, presenting a strange synchronous orbit, like a pair of twin guards, intercepting all meteorites attacking Terra, so that life in the planet can thrive.

On Terra, all civilizations, races, and cultures are closely related to the double moons. They have endowed them with countless beautiful words and praises. There are also countless literati and inkmen who use the moon as a prototype to write Many poems were sung.

  In the future, these two moons will also become the cornerstones of pre-epoch civilization.

   On the Watching Moon, a huge lunar city and industrial complex was built, responsible for extraterrestrial mining and colonization preparations.

  On the Observing Moon, there is a sixth floor with a ladder, where there is the largest outer space ship dock in Terra.

  —Wait, why would I know this?

  At this moment, a lot of knowledge emerged in Ian's heart.

  It was as if he had known this knowledge from the beginning and just remembered it again.

  But tracing back to the source, Ian found that all these memories came from the Book of Yinyao.

  The Book of Silver Glory is connected to his own soul, and the memories and knowledge recorded in it are naturally digested and absorbed by Ian in a resonant way of inheritance.

  —but things got weirder!

  Why, the book of Yinyao of the mountain people suddenly popped up knowledge about the civilization of the previous era?

   Did he take the wrong book, or did he open it in the wrong way? Could it be... The mountain people were originally a group of survivors similar to the Sequoia natives, so they left these inheritances?

   Or in other words, all of the above?

   But it's too late to think about these.

   Because of the next scene.

  —The moon, shattered.

   That was a ray of light.

   An indescribable ray of light struck from an extremely distant place, rapidly enlarged, and hit the Gazing Moon.

It is surrounded by colorful rainbow light, which is extremely gorgeous, as if it includes all the visible colors in this universe. The dazzling light stream flashes away in the void, but it hits the back of the watching moon accurately, and hits the star directly. on the satellite of the planet.

   And then...the moon shattered.

   Ian held his breath.

  The boy saw that the impacted area of ​​the Observing Moon melted in an instant, the moon's crust turned into liquid or even gaseous lava gas, and the entire rocky satellite seemed to be made of water. Huge waves.

  Half of the stars melted.

  A large number of fragments fell out and turned into meteorites, but the overall structure of the Observing Moon was not completely scattered.

  Ordinary people would be amazed at most, but Ian could see that this meant that the 'thing' that hit Gazing Moon was not simply some kind of laser or particle beam weapon.

   That's an entity.

  However, what is strange is that this entity contains extremely huge heat energy, but the kinetic energy it carries, that is, the impact force may not be very large...

   Half of the Gazing Moon was melted by the heat energy it carried, but the remaining half was not completely shattered, retaining its general shape, but its appearance was covered by a layer of flames, making it pitch black.

   Just like the dark new moon that can be seen just by looking up at a certain time.

   But this entity didn't stop - after it smashed into the Gazing Moon, it pierced through it again, passed out from the other side of the star, and continued to fall towards Terra.

   Only this time, its speed slowed down, allowing Ian to see its shape clearly.

   That's an artifact.

  A ship with a strange appearance...but fully identifiable in its unnatural nature...

   "Spaceship?!"

  Ian opened his eyes wide, and he was so stunned that he couldn't believe what he saw: "That's a spaceship?!"

   It is indeed a spaceship, or a damaged spaceship.

   There is a huge, extremely regular black ‘spherical’ wound on the side of the spaceship.

   It is not a circle, but a spherical depression, from which the dazzling stream of light erupts, causing it to hit the Gazing Moon uncontrollably, and then fall towards Terra.

   Immediately afterwards, another huge explosion occurred inside it, creating a second perfectly circular pitch-black depression, and this explosion completely tore up the spaceship, breaking it into dozens of pieces.

  The fragments arced outside the atmosphere and fell towards the earth.

   At the same time, the fragments of the Observing Moon that escaped from the gravitational orbit of the stars also turned into an endless meteorite rain and fell towards Terra.

  The Skyfall has begun...

  Fortunately, the orbit of the Watching Moon happened to intersect obliquely with the Watching Moon. It attracted most of the meteorites that were turned into fragments of the Watching Moon, and still insisted on its duty of protecting the sentient beings of Terra.

   But in the final analysis, there are still countless meteorites left.

   Violent explosions and abnormal psychic reactions began to appear all over Terra, and an incredible storm swept the world.

  The largest fragment of the spaceship fell into the ocean of Terra where there were still several continents at that time, and then the sea water in that area boiled up, steaming out dense clouds that were about to be ejected out of Terra's atmosphere.

  Eruptions of tsunamis and earthquakes powerful enough to capsize continents.

  —As a result, the seven seas churned, the heavens and the earth were turned upside down, mountains and continents were overturned, and they fell.

  Obviously, this is not the damage caused by meteorites alone. The essence of the disaster from the sky is actually the destruction caused by the fragments of the spaceship!

Its fragments are packed with incredible energy, whether it is source matter, psionic energy or other radiation. These energies are not enough to melt a satellite. It fell on Terra, triggering a disaster that almost destroyed the entire civilization of the pre-epoch. The 'disaster from heaven'!

Fortunately, most of its energy was poured into Gazing Moon and the explosion before the collapse—the spherical black wound swallowed most of the energy on the spacecraft, otherwise, even if Terra did not Even if it melts like the Gazing Moon, the ocean will definitely evaporate completely.

   "Is it a black hole..."

   Watching this picture, Ian muttered to himself in disbelief.

  He was not sure whether the black wound that erupted inside the spaceship and could swallow even light was the phenomenon he knew...

  The astral model in front of the boy is still evolving, restoring the terrible disasters that happened in the ancient past, and the Book of Silver Glory is still flipping.

  It is linked to the ‘Holy Land’ at the bottom of the lake, continuously providing Ian with various ancient memories…

   Not right.

   It is not the Book of Silver Glory.

   Or, it’s not just the Book of Silver Glory!

At this moment, Ian suddenly realized where he might have made a mistake—the young man sensed the silver chip in his body, and after realizing that the silver chip was also operating, he showed a clear look: "Sure enough! I knew it, this kind of memory It can't be something that can be recorded in the Book of Silver Brilliance, a mountain folk magic book...it must have other sources."

   "Maybe the Book of Silver Glory can indeed be linked to the holy land at the bottom of the lake, so that the mountain people can get the memory and inheritance related to the Dragon God, but now..."

   "The real link is me, and the silver chip!"

   "Because the permissions are different, the feedback memories are completely different!"

  Ian was misled by the word Mountain Minlong Sacred Land, and subconsciously thought that all this was related to the Book of Silver Glory.

   But in fact, isn’t the ‘silver chip’ the most different thing between him and other successive lords of Lean?

  Thinking about it carefully, maybe the sequence of cause and effect is like this...

  Lake Laian is a meteorite lake, which is the crater where some fragments of the spaceship fell.

  After that, the fifth-level true dragon, Qiganglong, came here and stayed in the Baisen Mountains.

  In the Baisen Mountains, there may not only be Lake Laian as a sacred place, but deep in the mountains, there are even larger fragments. That is the real reason why the Iron Dragon resides here.

The mountain people of later generations served the Dragon God, and used part of the Dragon God's power to shape the Book of Silver Glory. Because of this, the Book of Silver Glory can interact with the spaceship fragments in the Holy Land...but their authority is far from being able to Compared to Ian with the silver chip.

  The Book of Silver Glory was an introduction, which triggered the operation of the ancient altar, and the silver chip revived the wreckage of the spaceship under the altar.

   Both are indispensable.

  The young man stretched out his hand silently, and he held the book of Yinyao in his hand.

The mountain people's sacrificial book is still in operation, it is still linking to the holy land, providing Ian with various knowledge and mysteries, but the authority of the book of silver light is far lower than that of the silver chip, so that what Ian sees is not the mountain people in the past What the priest saw was some older information.

   There are still many doubts.

  For example, who is the perspective that observed the 'disaster from the sky'?

  Although it is also possible that the crashed spacecraft itself reconstructed the scene through information speculation, it is more likely that there is a third-party observer.

  This observer is inextricably linked with the real dragon... and the real dragon must have an extremely close relationship with the spaceship that caused the disaster!

   Otherwise, the real dragon would not be guarding these spaceship fragments, and their sacrificial books would not resonate with the spaceship!

   "True dragons are really special..."

  Ian muttered to himself, he shook his head slightly, and then turned his head, the 'existence' under the silver dust.

  【Ghost Engine】

  【Damaged】

  【Engine wreckage destroyed by gravitational weapons】

  【Repair Difficulty: Extremely High】

  【The engine wreckage will gather all the natural sources in the surrounding time and space, causing unpredictable changes to the surrounding ecology】

  【…】

   This is the first time that the silver chip gave such a brief analysis.

  But Ian knew something in his heart.

"If there are no accidents." The young man speculated in his heart: "The source of the silver chip's data should be the 'virtual realm', the 'imprint' left by all human cognition in the virtual realm—this is why the silver chip can provide some real-time Information, even countries that I have never been to, those technologies that are still classified can explain the reasons."

   "Because there are still people who know these things in this world after all, so no matter how secret it is, there is no secret for the silver chip."

"But this Nether Crystal Engine... Even if the pilot of that spaceship was still alive, it is impossible to fully understand the engine principle of his own spaceship—even if he understood it, it is not something that can be clearly recounted by just relying on the imprint of the virtual world. The most you can do is tell me its name."

   "What's more, they are probably dead long ago."

   It's like Ian can't just take a look at it and copy other people's armor directly.

  He can only prostitute for nothing by touching it personally and scanning the silver chip.

  And this ghost engine fragment...

Although Ian still doesn't know exactly what the "Ghost Crystal" is, there is no doubt that the spaceship that destroyed the Gazing Moon and created the disaster of falling from the sky should be the continent of Terra, or even the star field of Terra The spaceship with the highest technological level in China.

   Its engine, no doubt, too.

   Or in other words, Nether Crystal is another name for 'primordial ether'?

   But this is not important.

   Then again...

  Ian, holding the Book of Silver Glory, frowned slightly.

  The struggle between the Qiangang Dragon and the Ice Menglong back then, the battle between them...was it really a pure territorial struggle?

   Or... "The treasure-hungry dragon" is really greedy for the incomparably precious "technology" on these ancient spaceships?

   Indeed, technology is the greatest wealth in the world.

  The silver dust gradually dimmed, turning into ordinary gravel.

  The Book of Silver Glory also closed spontaneously.

   This time the inheritance is a successful conclusion. Ian can feel that there is a lot of knowledge about the steel dragon in his mind, as well as various sacrifices and totems of the mountain people, that is, technologies related to the original inscriptions.

  The Book of Silver Glory is actually a 'little learning machine' that can mass-produce priests—although the requirements are relatively demanding, and it can only be completed under the shroud of a special psionic field in the Holy Land, and there is probably a time CD limit...

  At this moment, Ian fully understands why the empire wants to confiscate the Book of Yinyao, and Elder Manya is determined to find it back.
