Chapter 1050 We Still Need to Make some Spiritual Stones First
After the good man Richard explained to him the history of the Antix Executor model, Lin Lan asked the explorer that had gained its mind in detail.
It turns out that the executors used a host will similar to Ariel's at the beginning of their design.
The mass-produced aircraft of each ship model have a shared will and memory.
It's just that now the Natlan Empire seems to have been affected by the bad omen before, causing the Antix network here to be paralyzed.
"No wonder in Ariel's host virtual world, my identity is a Rubik's Cube scientist.
"Probably Ariel is a product created by the experimental agency based on the executor system I once designed."
Lin Lan finished speaking confidently and told the good man Richard and the little sword spirit about the omnic crisis that he and the White Eagle Ship girls had experienced in Orandong Continent.
But when it came to the girls on the White Eagle ship, Lin Lan suddenly realized a little trouble that he had to face.
That was the oil crisis.
"Richard, your ship equipment should also consume oil, right? How many more times can you fight?"
"There are four more times, teacher."
After the rejuvenated good man Richard answered him, he rolled up his sleeves, waved his fists, and said with a confident smile:
"But even if there is no oil, Richard can still use the ship suit for close combat. Ha, let me charge up and punch~"
Lin Lan was healed by Richard's cute appearance and laughed out loud, but he still had some regrets in his heart.
He should have stored some oil in Xumi Ring in the first place to prevent this situation from happening.
Neither the Natlan Empire, which uses spirit stones, nor the Saint Rozolon Teaching State, which uses magic source crystals, has the technology to refine oil.
Fortunately, his Sumeru Ring contained nearly a hundred mental cubes put in by the White Eagle Ship girls.
Perhaps after Constellation and Guam completed the improvement of the Sumeru Ring, they conveniently packed the Mental Cube used as energy source for laboratory equipment and put it into it.
In addition, the energy storage of the commander's equipment has also been upgraded by Kirshaji and the others, making it more durable than before.
So for a short period of time, he didn't have to worry about the commander's equipment and reality lens not being able to activate.
"So why does the ship girl's ship equipment have to consume oil? It obviously has Rubik's Cube energy. What is the principle of this?"
Lin Lan looked out the window at the endless dense forests of the Evergreen Mountains and muttered to himself with some emotion.
He had also thought about this issue when he left the Science and Technology Academy with the Iron-Blooded Ship Girls such as Egil in the Western Continent.
But he didn't think much about it at the time and just regarded it as a game setting.
"I remember Dr. Anjie said that there is a certain relationship between Rubik's Cube energy and high dimensions.
"Since the teacher can't remember it, it means it's not important."
Richard was currently surrounding the explorer, curiously touching the black raincoat on the explorer's body.
Hearing him talking to himself, Richard tilted his head and smiled sweetly at him.
"Gao Wei..."
This was not the first time that Lin Lan heard this term that had a very sci-fi feel.
In Liaozhou, he learned from Helena meta that Dibeilu planned to use X to use Lu Ling's soul to make a beacon and open a directional channel to higher dimensions.
Regarding Gao Dimension, it would definitely be difficult to get an answer for a while, so he also looked at this exquisite and cute explorer.
"That's right! If the experimental institution has an experimental site in the Natlan Empire, then it must have built a stronghold, right?"
Lin Lan looked at the black and yellow plowshark-like ship suit next to the explorer's arm. He suddenly patted his head and asked with great anticipation:
"Explorer, do you have the coordinates of the nearest experimental facility in your database?"
Although there is no oil in the Natlan Empire, he believes that there is a high probability that there will be such resources in Antix's stronghold.
When asked with an expectant look on his face, the explorer nodded blankly, feeling flattered, and then replied softly:
"Relevant coordinate data has been searched. Do you want to try to synchronize it, Dad?"
"Ahem... From now on, you should just call me Commander. Richard, can you synchronize the coordinates with her?"
Lin Lan really couldn't accept that he would have so many more daughters in the future, so he awkwardly corrected the explorer's name for him before looking at Richard and asking.
"No problem. After all, this isn't the first time Richard has shared data with Antix~"
The white-haired aircraft carrier girl from the original world smiled proudly, quickly unfolded the ship's equipment, and established a data sharing channel with the explorers.
"Wow, it's so far away? This country seems much bigger than I thought!"
But what Lin Lan didn't expect was that after Richard obtained the coordinates from the Explorer database, he actually exclaimed in surprise.
He quickly took out the map of Dakang County from the Sumeru Ring that the hunter had given to him after fighting to his death, unfolded it and placed it on the table:
"Is the nearest experimental facility within the scope of this map?"
The girl first looked at this simple map carefully, and then sighed heavily:
"Teacher, I'm sorry to tell you that we may not be able to use this map soon.
"According to the map shared with me by the explorer, the nearest Antiques stronghold is in Ronghu County, Nanzhou, which is two full counties away from Qinglin County where we are currently!
"The good news is that we can stop by that stronghold when we go to Dongzhou."
After listening to Richard's report, Lin Lan rubbed her temples with a headache.
"Just to get to Dakang County from here, it takes a whole day to take the Shenxing Boat. Natland is indeed much larger than Oran.
"It seems that after we arrive in Dakang County, we have to find a way to earn some spiritual stones and solve the transportation problem."
After all, Natland is not like Oran. There are well-developed highways between cities and tourism services built along the way.
If he didn't want to take the good man Richard and the explorer daughter he had just recognized to sleep in the wilderness, he would have to buy a spiritual vehicle similar to the Shenxingzhou.
It's not that there are no roads for caravans and oxcarts to travel between the counties of the Natland Empire. In fact, there are still inns.
It's just that in Lin Lan's opinion, the speed and efficiency of traveling by those ancient means of transportation are really too low.
He still wanted to go to Dongzhou as soon as possible, join the Donghuang ship girls, and send a signal to the port area to report that it was safe.
"Transportation...Teacher, why don't you just buy this divine boat from those Qingxiao Pavilion limiters?"
While the good man Richard was giving him advice, he took off the black raincoat from the explorer, wrapped it around himself, and struck a cute and handsome pose:
"Since their sect has been brutally destroyed, they will definitely not be able to use this divine boat in a short time.
"Instead of selling the Shenxingzhou to outsiders, it is better to sell it directly to the teacher. This can also reduce the psychological burden on the teacher for saving his life."
Richard's lucid analysis made Lin Lan look thoughtful.
“It’s true that as you said, Xuan-level spiritual weapons are already scarce, so they may be eager to convert them into spiritual stones to revive the sect.
"I'll go ask them later. It just so happens that I have some other questions that I want to ask them about."
Lin Lan accepted the suggestion from the good man Richard and said with a smile.
And the question he wanted to ask was naturally the Spark Column and related nursery rhymes that the village chief mentioned before.
He had a vague feeling that this so-called Spark Column was probably related to his Donghuang and Beilian shipgirls.
