Battlefield of Civilization: From the Bottom to the First Citizen

Chapter 63 The Relics Begin

On Beijiang Island, in what was originally an inner lake within a park, the water suddenly began to surge violently, as if boiling water.

boom--

Splash!

Suddenly, huge waves surged up on the water's surface, making the whole thing look like a door that had been forcibly pried open.

A huge island covered with moss, bluestone, and even many jumping fish appeared on the inner lake, almost filling the entire lake.

This caused the original lake water to spread outwards, and the source energy beasts in the vicinity fled in all directions.

In a mountain forest, the mountain that was originally frozen was rumbling and the ground collapsed, extending into a large low-lying area.

The ice and snow on the mountain seemed to have been pushed aside by a pair of giant hands, revealing the rocks below.

And this rock is simply the entrance gate that has been revealed, moved upwards a certain distance, fully displaying the entrance here.

Not just here, not just in the Dragon Kingdom, not just on land.

Such changes have occurred in the ocean, deep in the mountains, in underground caves, in deep-sea cavities, and even inside former extinct volcanoes.

One by one, the relics were awakened, and Earth finally entered the second phase: the relics development period.

This will be the first step for human civilization to rapidly enter the realm of cosmic civilization, a period of rapid development and restoration of order.

Northern Base, inside the research institute.

The joy in Wu Ou's eyes flashed by in an instant.

He clearly remembers that after this earthquake, a large number of relics appeared.

"I suspect that the ruins may have undergone some unknown changes!" To save time, he stated this guess directly.

"Dr. Wu, do you have any particular thoughts?"

After a moment of silence, Coach Li finally asked.

"I think we should send at least a small team to investigate the remains on the island."

Perhaps we will be able to obtain more technological products, and may even find a method to produce energy-generating agents.

If it were anything else, Coach Li might still have some hesitation, but when it came to the source energy agent, he had an idea in mind.

"Since you, Dr. Wu, have previously entered that site, do you have any suggestions on who should assist you?"

Clearly, he has decided that Wu Ou will lead the team to explore the ruins on the island.

The first reason is naturally because Wu Ou has been in there before and has some experience.

Secondly, it's because of his strength, which provides a certain level of security.

Moreover, taking only a small team along will not significantly impact the base's recovery and reconstruction.

"I want to bring four people!" Wu Ou held up four fingers.

"Leng Yue, Hu Meng, Su Xue, and Ding Fan."

Coach Li nodded. "Okay, but I have one condition: you all must return safely! I don't expect you to bring back any high-tech gadgets, I just ask that you guarantee your own safety!"

"Yes!" Wu Ou stood up straight.

"Take a good rest first! You've all been quite exhausted from that big battle." After saying this, Instructor Li and the others left the research room and began making various arrangements.

Compared to ordinary people who have no power, and those soldiers, Wu Ou and his group have already received a lot of preferential treatment.

"Is this something you're capable of?" Bai Zhou walked over and was the first to speak, even reaching out to take the sword and examine it.

Qin Feiyun reached out and stopped him. "This thing currently belongs to the base, it should..."

"Alright, you can look if you want," Wu Ou said, placing the sword on the table.

He then walked to a pile of metal scraps, picked up some metal, absorbed it into his body, and then shaped it into rectangular pieces, on which he carved patterns.

"How much source energy do you have left?" Leng Yue was somewhat surprised when she saw this.

"It's nothing. My strength has improved, and my 'reservoir' limit is much higher than yours now." Wu Ou slapped a few pieces of the finished product onto the table.

"Look at these, according to my intuition, they are several types of carvings: conduction, binding, release, and shaping."

While I cannot accurately analyze their deeper logical meaning, I can still achieve this through decomposition, replication, and a piecemeal assembly approach.

As he spoke, Wu Ou connected the pieces of metal in a straight line, creating an effect similar to a longsword.

However, it is clear that this is a disassembled unit, while the longsword is a single, integrated piece.

In comparison, the same amount of energy consumed here yields a weaker effect.

"Even just this much can be of great help to us in all aspects right now." Qin Feiyun looked at the long strips of metal.

The more important task at present is to restore the northern base to basic operations and, in turn, to restore the basic industrial system of human civilization.

It is sufficient that these foreign technologies can be effectively used now.

Bai Zhou was about to speak in rebuttal when Yan Chi, who was beside him, pulled him back.

"Then I'll keep these."

"Whether you study it or use it, it's up to you." Wu Ou wasn't stingy, because he understood that the effects of this would indeed be of great help to the Northern Base.

That evening, Bai Zhou found Wu Ou on the rooftop outside.

"You can create source energy potions, right?"

Wu Ou didn't look at him, but just played with a fragment of source crystal in his hand.

I picked it up casually after defeating the Snow Demon.

Why do you say that?

"Your ability is not just to change the shape of matter, it's different from ours."

"Indeed, I can do it, but source energy is different from other matter or energy."

Moreover, my abilities are also limited by my own understanding.

"Before seeing the actual source energy potion, it's like not unlocking the exploration guide, you understand?" Wu Ou gestured.

Bai Zhou nodded. "I understand. I want to see the differences between the two."

After all, that stuff is for our research, so I'm afraid each person won't get much.

"Why not wait? Besides, you're more skilled in electronics; wouldn't it be a good idea to upgrade the computer control system at the Northern Base?"

Wu Ou turned to look at Bai Zhou.

In his memory, there were some "genius" scientists who were involved in many technical fields from the very beginning.

However, in the end, they did not achieve much practical results. Instead, it was those scientists who seemed to have average abilities but focused on a single field who made some scientific and technological breakthroughs.

Based on later observations, it was found that whether they were superhumans, energy scientists, or energy warriors, they would all receive a certain response as they leveled up, depending on their subjective inclinations.

Superpowered individuals represent a special ability or even an upgrade in level; Source Energy Scientists naturally correspond to the 'inspiration' in the field of technology; and Source Energy Warriors are probably the area where 'weapons' excel.

Bai Zhou was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "If we were to carve the patterns directly onto the source crystal, it would be better to use it as a chip."

"Ha! You have big ambitions, but I like them."

"I will bring back more useful things." Wu Ou chuckled; he had already understood Bai Zhou's meaning.

The next morning, Wu Ou and his group of five took the modified car to Linjiang Shopping Mall.
