Chereads / Space travel:Crossing to an otherworldly continent / Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: City of the Sky

Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: City of the Sky

Welcome here, both of you

This is a city sailing in the sky, although its size is only a dozen square kilometers

Although it is small, it possesses the world's most advanced alchemy technology

Its name is - Sky City

Seeing Nia and Dia both stunned at the same time, Sarri felt somewhat proud. He pointed to the crystals that the two of them were watching and said, "The crystals you are seeing now are one of the main peripheral weapons of Sky City. They can emit magic beams or burst fireballs equivalent to level 12 fire spells at intervals of five seconds. The water blue crystal above you is part of Sky City's defense system, which can form a water magic water curtain Tianhua around the entire periphery of Sky City. Because we have sufficient magic supply here, basically no one can break this shield. However, even if we break it, we have a backup plan and better defense." Sari's words not only show off, but also serve as a reminder to remind Nia and her not to break this shield. Make some small moves in this small city, otherwise there won't be any dust left.

The size of these crystals that Sarri just pointed out exceeds one person's height, and they are wrapped with a large number of magical symbols inside. Upon closer inspection, the two were surprised to find that the symbols inside were entirely made of precious metal such as magic gold.

Sarri clapped his hands and drew the attention of both of them. "Alright, there's no need to study anymore. After you settle here, you'll find that the techniques on these magic crystals are actually relatively simple. Follow me in first. The weapons on Sky City are mostly concealed for their beauty, except for these crystals, which are stored away if not in use

The two of them maintained a surprised expression and followed Sarri to a room, which should be the reception room. Norderse was pushed out by Sarri to inform his teacher when the two arrived at the external platform of Sky City.

The reception room also surprised Nia, first of all the door. This door should be made of solid steel plate, with a thickness of 20 centimeters making it quite heavy. But when he opened the door, Sarri just pressed it next to the door and it slid open to both sides, it was a semi-automatic door at all. And the sliding speed also indicates that the power driving the door is very strong, which is completely beyond the reach of ordinary alchemy.

Next is the light on the ceiling. These lamps that use white magic crystals to inject magic and emit light should be inductive. Along the way, the lights ahead automatically turn on when we are about to reach that section of the road, and turn off when we are far away. The lights in this reception room also turn on after the door is opened. That means there is something here that senses biological signals.

Sarri gestured to the sofa and said, "Sit down

The two of them sat down in response, but their facial expressions were still a bit stiff. After all, these timeless things are not so easily accepted.

Let's talk about our feelings, "Sarri smiled again

Nia should come back to her senses faster than Dia, after all, she has experienced the technological society and has seen the functions of some things, but she just doesn't understand the principles. After waking up, he rubbed his facial muscles to relieve stiffness and replied, "It's so shocking! Although I've seen many of them with the same function, the things I've seen use completely different principles and have almost no alchemy components. But this is a dream city made entirely of alchemy, and I can't describe it in words anymore

Sarri suddenly frowned, then his eyes lit up. "Have you seen many things with the same function? Can you describe them

Half awkwardly nodded, and Nia continued, "Actually, this can be considered one of my secrets, but you must ensure that you won't go out and talk nonsense, otherwise I won't be able to say it

Don't worry, I guarantee that no one except for the people in Sky City will say anything, "Sarri nodded, while Dia turned around and swore.

Seeing that both of them had made promises, Nia began to narrate, "First of all, the place I mentioned should be a place without magic elements, or where magic elements are extremely thin, because I have never heard of anyone being able to use magic. Therefore, a civilization completely different from the magic civilization has developed there

According to the definition over there, our world is called the spiritual world because most people believe in idealism and believe that God creates everything. On the other hand, the civilization over there is a materialistic world because most people believe in materialism and believe that nature changes everything. Well, according to that definition, this is a philosophical issue. Although I have been there, I am not particularly clear about this philosophy because it is too broad, but this division should not be wrong. Over there, we use the power of technology to create various tools to achieve our goals

Take the lights on the ceiling for example. First of all, a generator was invented over there to produce electricity, oh, I'm not talking about lightning elements. There, the electricity is generated centrally by the power station and then sent to other places through wires. The factory produces light bulbs and has people purchase them and install them in the corresponding positions. When the current passes through the tungsten wire in the bulb, the tungsten wire will light up and shine. The switch of the light can be turned off by simply disconnecting the wire with a small device. Even some non special switches, such as voice controlled switches that close when encountering loud noises, and light controlled switches based on brightness, are only a few times or at most ten times the price of the most ordinary switches

Another major difference between the two civilizations is transportation. Aircraft, cars, and other means of transportation were invented over there. Aircraft require a specialized place to take off, but can reach speeds of over 900 kilometers in the sky, and military combat aircraft can even reach maximum speeds of two to three times the speed of sound, which is two to three thousand kilometers per hour. Cars, on the other hand, are slightly smaller than horse drawn carriages and use oil as power. Generally, better roads can reach speeds of over 50 kilometers per hour, and the fastest standard car can reach speeds of three to four hundred kilometers per hour

There are many examples like this, but the things over there are mainly composed of many components, much more complex than those made by alchemy. For example, a car has about 30000 parts

Upon hearing this, Sarri was furrowing his brow deeply. After all, what Nia had said was completely unheard of and unimaginable for a magical civilization. It would take time to accept. "How do you know all of this

Nia shook her head and said, 'This is my secret, I can't tell you yet.'

Never mind, let's talk about it later. Nordsey! Come in! Take them to two rooms. You two will learn from me in the future. Besides technology, I am also interested in alchemy from 5000 years ago. Oh, by the way, this is for you. "Sari Void waved his hand and two ring fingers appeared in his hand. This is a spatial ring, about a thousand cubic meters in size, with an additional function on it, which is to change the shape. It is similar to the transformation of the dragon race, and the function of changing the shape is fixed after the first change, and it is not a phantom. By the way, there is one more thing to remind you that there is a problem with the change of this ring. The shape seems to be random, even the gender is random. For example, the unlucky guy Nordsey has become a female ugly monster, which scares him so much that he no longer needs that function. "Sarri continued to smirk when he said the last sentence, seeming to like this kind of smile very much.

Taking the ring, both of them put it on their hands.

Follow me. "At this moment, Nordsey had already walked in, glanced at Nia, and coldly threw down a sentence before turning around and leaving. Nia and Dia can only follow immediately.

Sarri's somewhat helpless voice came from behind, 'Nordsey is just like this, as long as you get used to it...'
