Chapter 858: Preparing to Die (7)
Brusto lifted the hexagonal prism, his expression becoming a little complicated: "There are traces of use, but you don't have to tell me if the machine that can inspire it is in your hands." The danger is great, and for some reason in the Avalon institution there are many things about the depths of the empire, and I myself strongly refuse to have anything to do with them. ”
Kasia understood Professor Bruce's concerns: "No one else will know, but after all, he has something to do with my body, and I don't have to know some details." ”
"The scientific name is 'uranium-gold', so let's call it a combination of the ultimate energy matter at present. ”
"Uranium?" Kasia repeated, "as an energy source, it seems to have never been used in the Empire. Isn't it going to be accompanied by some bad phenomena?"
"Of course, within the empire, all this kind of thing is concentrated in the hands of Avalon, like solid red mercury, and none of the four forces can have it, otherwise the balance will fall in an instant, and there will be absolutely no possibility of recovery, and the situation will only get worse and worse. But the ultimate goal is also to serve the Empire, and if a crisis situation occurs, the scientists at Avalon will not let this thing go to the dust. It seems that the cost of maintaining them every year is very expensive. ”
"Suffice it to say, the only country in the empire with a record of the use of uranium gold is the Avalon Agency. A dedicated energy conversion device was built to power all of the Avalonian Mechanism's machines. It's just that there aren't many cases where it's used as an energy substance, except for the Avalon Institution that has a conversion machine. More often than not, this substance is the guardian of the empire and exercises its ultimate energy title. ”
"I said that the solid growth of the empire depends on it. Indeed, at least most of the reason is that it was discovered. The megastates on the Left and Right Continents were founded hundreds of years before the Empire, and the Empire was founded shortly after the two-headed dragon and the core of the Analyzer were shipped to Manoma. In the early days, the Mano Kingdom had lost nearly two-thirds of its army due to the capture of dragons, and it had actually brought down the Mano Kingdom at that time. After the establishment of the empire, the first holy emperors and kings were forced to wage war to divert the contradictions within the country. There are also unwilling existences in it, after all, it has spent so much manpower and material resources to finally get something that can change itself from now on. In this way, the country will die out due to internal strife, and no one will want to. ”
"And so the 'Creation War' began?" Kasia thought about the history she had studied, "and dragons and analyzers came into play at that time, and continue to this day. ”
"Not exactly. The early empire was held up entirely by the core of the Analytical Machine and its imitations. Most of it was industrialized at first, but only later did it take for the expansion of the country and the abundance of resources, which led to a breakthrough in the biological research of dragons. The earliest surgeons appeared many years after the establishment of the empire. ”
"You must know that during the time of the Mano Kingdom, a large number of countries on the Houxiang Continent were all coal-burning. The arrangement of the railway lines is also scattered from the center of each country. Industrial cities, you just think about the core of the country at that time in this direction. There was also an age of pure chivalric culture, and don't expect the industrial and steam-powered technology of that time to be perfect. The ammunition is still ordinary gunpowder, and the gun is closer to the level of the repeating long-barreled fire tunnel gun. Speaking of armored cars, it's just that the limousines that run all over the streets are welded with a thicker layer of iron plates, and the power is so inferior that it can be. ”
Bruce talked about this history with a sigh, as if he had experienced it himself, full of memories. In his opinion, even with the dragons and the core of the analytic machine in that era, the outcome of the early empire was more inclined to complete destruction.
"The planes are still simple propellers, and the clouds are unlikely to be touchable, but don't think that the empire was very strong from the beginning. After all, the writing of history textbooks is itself an empire, and some cuts and additions must be made to give people confidence. But who cares about this history? I think you know the structure of the empire very well. ”
"It was the first country to achieve large-scale industrial production, which led to the technological improvement of steam power and mechanical appliances, and allowed the early empire to gradually flourish from within. Soon after, dragon biology research was officially put on the agenda. With the advent of surgery, the 'Creation War' finally began, and the empire expanded rapidly, and finally formed the current situation of the Houxiang Continent, which happened during that period. ”
"So 'Uranium' came out at this time?" said Kasia, roughly grasping the chronological order in which Professor Bruce spoke.
"Yes, when the expansion of the empire is hindered by the Commonwealth of the Far Sea and the Flame Alliance, or when the expansion of the empire can no longer be stopped, it will naturally enter the eyes of the giant countries of the left and right continents. At that time, the matter between the two of them seemed to be coming to an end, and on the one hand, importing technology to a small nearby country was a kind of involvement, and on the other hand, they were also discussing specific agreements. During that time in the Empire, there were explosive discoveries in technology, and there was probably a reason for sending agents to infiltrate the Commonwealth and the Flame Alliance in the far seas. It is already full of difficulties to face the two large countries on the Houxiang Continent, not to mention the giant countries that each of them supports behind them. ”
"But whether it's a story or a history, if you look closely, you will always find something dramatic in it. Bruce said with a smile at this time, looking at the hexagonal prism in his hand, "The scientific research institutions that have been inherited from the Mano Kingdom have also been expanded after the establishment of the empire, and with the transfer of a large amount of money and materials, it seems that they have finally played a key role. From the imitation of the analysis machine to the later self-development, the same is true of dragon technology. Perhaps it was the biggest crisis in the empire in a long time, and at that time, many people thought that the flames of war would soon spread to the entire Houxiang continent. But for some reason, the air filled with the smell of gunpowder completely dissipated in just one year. ”
It was then that the Empire's scientific research institute announced its official name to Avalon, which continues to this day. What happened in it, only a very few people know. According to the words of a general on the battlefield of the two sides at that time, a sun that emits white light rises on a dark rainy night, white steam envelops the entire sky, and strange objects bloom in the white light, like a huge ancient tree leading to the end of the world, and the brilliance on its unfolded branches and leaves can only be awe-inspiring. ”
"、、、 huge explosion?" Cassia thought the image was very similar to what happened after the explosion of a solid red mercury bomb.
"That's right, it's what is called 'uranium bullet', also known as 'God's Declaration', which means that it is a gun that can destroy anything. One of them completely ended the great war that should have come, and allowed the empire to grow to this day. And its main raw material is this kind of thing. But the specific principles, manufacturing tools, technology, etc., in the early days of the empire, there were people from the Holy Emperor Hall and the royal family who took over the control. But a few decades later, an incident changed the landscape, and it was completely and uniquely controlled by Avalon. ”
Bruce looked at Kasia, who was thinking seriously, and continued his words: "A long time ago, uranium gold bullets were also listed as one of the sacred equipment of the Empire. The latter was eliminated, and it was the same thing. It was that event in the history of the Empire that not only made Avalon, who had served the Empire with all its might, become its current state, but also some new technologies that had been developed would no longer be freely lost to the Empire from that point on. The scientists of that time came together and developed Avalon's own rules and standards, which have accompanied the empire to the present day. 2k reading network
