Then, it was time to celebrate and experiment with the secret weapon of the ancient civilization.
He chose a female Amazon warrior who was more elite, but not a top-notch master. She put on the Ancient Energy Boots, which made Shen Lang a little excited. This was because the boots were very exquisite, and female Amazonian warriors usually had long legs bare. Once she put on the boots, her legs looked even longer and sexier.
She squatted down a little, and then leaped. A huge elastic force was generated under her boots, and the Amazon female warrior jumped fifteen meters high.
This … this was amazing. This meant that as long as she wore the ancient energy elastic boots, she could easily jump any city wall.
"Whoosh …" Then she started to jump forward, and her whole body shot 20 meters away.
Shen Lang could not imagine the effect of wearing the ancient elastic boots on the battlefield. Coupled with the powerful combat power of the female Amazon warrior, it was unimaginable.
Moreover, everything was automatic, and there was no need to control it at all. The elastic boots seemed to be able to sense the will of the owner.
The next step was to test the power of the ancient bow and arrow.
"Up!" She suddenly pulled the bow and arrow. The female Amazon warrior found that the power of the bow was very strong, but after pulling it, there seemed to be a force of help. At most, it was equivalent to a stone and a half's pull, but the power was far more than that.
"Shoot!"
"Whoosh …"
The arrow shot out like lightning, and its trajectory was almost straight. After shooting more than 100 meters, the tail of the arrow released a blue tail flame, so the arrow did not slow down, but became faster.
In a short moment, the arrow hit the target 1,300 meters away.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the target was directly torn apart.
Shen Lang looked at the ancient bow and arrow in disbelief. Its power was comparable to, or even stronger than, a rifle.
Soon, a female Amazon warrior picked up the arrow and handed it to Shen Lang. The arrow was very heavy, about half a kilogram. It was forged with a kind of black metal and was extremely strong, so even after hitting the target, it was still intact.
It was also extremely exquisite. From the arrow tip to the arrow shaft to the tail fins, it seemed to have been chiseled by a machine. There was not even a half-millimeter error. That was why its flight path was so stable, and it could be aimed even from thousands of meters away.
Not only that, but this arrow could also be reused. Awesome, right?
The second time, he placed an iron plate a kilometer away. It was two millimeters thick.
"Aim, fire!"
Whoosh!
This ancient arrow once again whistled out, as fast as a meteor. After a hundred meters, the tail emitted a blue light, and the arrow's speed became faster and faster.
Bang!
It directly hit the iron plate a kilometer away and pierced right through.
The Amazonian female warrior brought the steel plate in front of Shen Lang and pulled out the Ancient Arrow. It was almost intact.
F * ck, this is too strong! It's not inferior to a rifle at all! This was a steel plate that was two millimeters thick. Even a slightly weaker rifle would not be able to penetrate it at a distance of one kilometer.
Shen Lang was both happy and worried. Of course, he was happy because he had obtained such a powerful weapon. However, he was worried that this would be a huge blow to his firearms. Shen Lang had just created the howitzer, and the production of firearms had not started yet. It was still in the planning stage.
But now, there was an ancient arrow that was comparable to a rifle. This made him feel complicated. This meant that Shen Lang's first generation of firearms had not been created yet, and he was already far behind.
Shen Lang used an X-ray to scan the Ancient Arrow. As expected, he found a Nightmare Stone at the tail.
The ancient civilization was built entirely on the Nightmare Stone. In the Western world, the energy core was controlled by the Nightmare Stone. It was also used to stimulate and awaken people in a vegetative state. The ancient equipment that Adolf used to teleport was also powered by the Nightmare Stone. The Regret of the Dragon strategic weapon was also controlled and launched by the Nightmare Stone. Now, the Ancient Arrow also relied on the Nightmare Stone.
However, this was normal. It was just like how the modern electronic civilization was based on electronic chips. Even an electronic watch that cost more than ten dollars had a specialized chip inside.
Now, Shen Lang could somewhat understand why the strategic weapon of the Regret of the Dragon was still in the shape of a giant arrow. This was because the ancient civilization's weapon system was like this. It was not purposely made to look like an arrow.
This ancient civilization was quite impressive. The arrow in his hand was at most half an inch in diameter, but it could be equipped with such a complicated Nightmare Stone device. Furthermore, it was activated automatically. Once the arrow's speed exceeded a certain level, the energy device would automatically activate, and it would spit out flames like a rocket. More accurately, what it spat out was not flames but plasma.
"How many ancient elastic boots are there in total? How many ancient bows? "Shen Lang asked.
"Two hundred pairs of elastic boots, one thousand ancient bows, and fifteen thousand ancient arrows," Hila said. "Brother, I have a question."
"Why did the Zhu family leave these secret weapons on this island and not take them away?" Shen Lang asked.
Hila nodded.
"If I'm not wrong, be it the ancient elastic boots or the ancient bows, they can only be used within a certain range, which is the electromagnetic environment of this island. Once they leave this environment, they lose their effect." Hila thought for a while and said, "That makes sense.
Hila thought for a while and said, "That makes sense. Their ancient giant crossbow is clearly very powerful, but they didn't move it onto the ship. Also, their archery at the beginning was very good, but their combat power kept decreasing until they were sunk by us. "
Next, Hila immediately left the island with the ancient elastic boots and the ancient bow, taking a ship to the sea to conduct experiments.
The results proved that Shen Lang's idea was correct. The further away from the island, the weaker the elasticity of the ancient elastic boots, until they completely became ordinary boots. The Ancient Bow was the same. When it was 10,000 meters away from the island, the Ancient Bow became an ordinary arrow. Because the arrow was too heavy, its effective range was only 200 meters, and its power was inferior to that of an ordinary arrow.
These ancient secret weapons could only be used in a special environment, so it was useless to bring them out. No wonder the Zhu family still kept them in the secret room.
"This is really a pity. I originally wanted to use these ancient bows to kill the Sky-sea Pavilion, the Yin Yuan Association, and the Tongtian Temple," Hila said. Hila said, "Brother, can you think of a way to modify the Nightmare Stones inside these Ancient Arrows so that they can be used normally outside?"
"I have a certain understanding of this," Shen Lang said. "The reason why this is like this is not because the ancient civilization deliberately limited these weapons. Instead, these intricate miniature Nightmare Stones can only be used in a special electromagnetic environment. Based on my calculations, even if we successfully modify these Ancient Arrow Nightmare Stones and allow them to be used normally in an external environment, their power will be weakened and their lifespan will be greatly reduced. It might even cause the Nightmare Stone to explode. "
"Then what do we do?" Hila asked.
"Very simple," Shen Lang said. "Don't these weapons need to be used in a special environment? Then we can create this special electromagnetic environment. If I'm not wrong, this electromagnetic environment is released by a huge Nightmare Stone device, and it's inside this secret base. "
This kind of large Nightmare Stone device released a huge energy magnetic field, and all secret weapons would be effective within this radius. This was like a cell phone signal tower, and the phone would only have a signal within its radius. The further the distance, the weaker the signal, until there was no signal, and the phone would lose its function.
This ancient civilization was really too strong. It was like a super civilization built on the energy system of the Nightmare Stones.
Then, Shen Lang wondered if the ancient battleships also used the Nightmare Stones as their power core. More accurately, they used metallic hydrogen and the Nightmare Stones to become the power source of the large battleships.
Previously, when he was at Prince Jin's place, Shen Lang had read about the Nightmare Stones in the ancient book. There were millions of words and thousands of different blueprints, and there were more than a hundred types of Nightmare Stones involved. At that time, Shen Lang had even been shocked that there were so many Nightmare Stones.
Now, it seemed that the Nightmare Stones mentioned in the ancient book were just a drop in the bucket. According to Shen Lang's guess, in the ancient system, there might be more than ten thousand types of Nightmare Stones.
Shen Lang was sure that there must be a huge Nightmare Stone and energy core on this secret island that controlled the entire secret base.
The Dragon's Regret Arrow could not be moved at all due to the strong electromagnetic force, and he needed to find the secret base's control center to unlock it. Otherwise, even if Shen Lang brought these secret weapons out, it would be useless. He would not be able to take that heaven-defying killing machine with him.
Then where was the control center? It was definitely not in the secret base, because it was going to radiate the entire island.
The Zhu family had spent more than ten years looking for it, but they could not find it.
If it was someone else, they might not be able to find it in their lifetime, but it was different for Shen Lang.
Any electromagnetic environment is a kind of wave, especially when the ancient bow and arrow is fired, it will continuously receive the wave of the control center.
For example, any mobile phone is receiving the energy wave of a signal tower. It is just that this energy wave is invisible to the naked eye, but special equipment can see it, and the computers of communication companies can also see it clearly.
Humans cannot see this kind of electromagnetic wave, but Shen Lang's artificial intelligence system can see it, so it was very easy for him to find the control center. He held an activated Nightmare Stone and kept moving. The closer he got to the control center, the stronger the electromagnetic signal it received, and Shen Lang's artificial intelligence system could read it clearly.
Next, he held the Nightmare Stone and kept moving. In order to make it clearer, Shen Lang even set a beeping sound in the artificial intelligence system. The closer he got to the control center, the more frequent the beeping sounds became.
However, Shen Lang quickly stopped because the island's terrain was too complicated, and Shen Lang could not pass through it at all.
Without saying anything, she wanted to carry Shen Lang, but he hesitated for a moment before lying on Princess Dora's back. At this time, Hila could not take it anymore and rolled her eyes at him. Is it so easy to take advantage of other women? I'm your sister, so I can't carry you?
Beep, beep, beep …
Princess Dora's movement speed was too fast, and she was wearing ancient elastic boots. It felt like she was flying on roofs and walls.
As they got closer and closer to the control center, Princess Dora stopped.
This was because there was a mountain in front of them. It was a mountain about three hundred meters above sea level, and Shen Lang was standing at the top of it.
Just as Shen Lang had guessed, any signal tower would be built at the highest point so that the range of the signal would be the largest.
If Shen Lang's guess was not wrong, this was the control center of the secret base disguised as the top of a cliff. However, it looked exactly like an ordinary rock mountain.
After scanning it with his X-ray eyes, he realized that something was wrong. This part of the mountain was not made of ordinary rock at all, and it was still impenetrable by X-rays.
That's right, the control center of the secret base was right here.
Shen Lang could not help but think of the pyramid at the top of the snowy mountain in the Lost Kingdom Ruins. If he did not guess wrong, that pyramid should also be a control center that could provide the entire Lost Kingdom Ruins with a special electromagnetic environment. It was just that it had been occupied by a mysterious force in advance.
After that, Shen Lang began to observe the top of this disguised cliff. He found out that the Zhu Family had also discovered this point. They had once tried to dig this place, but the result was not good, because there were traces of lightning striking here.
This meant that anyone who tried to use brute force to open the control center would be struck to death by lightning.
Shen Lang could not help but try it out.
First, he got someone to use an Ancient Bow to shoot at this disguised cliff from a few hundred meters away. In the end, there was no lightning, and the arrow directly hit the cliff and broke.
So painful, so painful. Every Ancient Arrow was very precious, and it could not be repaired after being broken for so long.
Next, he used explosives to blast it.
Bang! With a loud bang, more than two kilograms of TNT exploded.
Then, an incomparably beautiful scene appeared.
Pa pa pa pa pa …
This cliff suddenly burst out countless lightning bolts, crazily striking everything within a hundred meters. If anyone was within this range, they would very likely be killed immediately.
When the control center felt a strong destructive force, it would immediately launch a defensive counterattack.
And this kind of terrifying lightning lasted for a whole few seconds. This was not killing people but directly turning them into charcoal.
After a few minutes, Shen Lang finally dared to return to this special cliff. He already knew that this was the control center, but how was he going to enter?
This outer shell was just too hard. After a few kilograms of TNT exploded, not even a trace was left.
Was there some kind of password? Or did he need to reverse engineer it through the Nightmare Stone? But this was not a computer.
Next, Shen Lang could not think of a way to open this control center no matter how hard he tried.
Suddenly, Hila said, "Little Brother, can you open it with the mixed blood of you and the ancient humans?"
"No way, how can there be such a simple thing?" Shen Lang said.
He then took out a box, which contained the mixed blood of him and the ancient humans. Under the sunlight, it emitted an even more dazzling light. It was really similar to the spectrum of the sun.
Shen Lang used his finger to wipe some of the mixed blood and pressed his palm on the cliff.
Then, a dreamy scene appeared. The outer shell of the cliff kept shrinking, retracting into the mountain layer by layer.
Finally, the entire control center appeared in front of Shen Lang.
The scene in front of him became familiar again. It was a giant crystal clear sphere with a Nightmare Stone device on it.
It was indeed a metal hydrogen ball.
This was not right. This metal hydrogen ball was not big, only about two meters in diameter. It should not be able to release such a large amount of energy that could radiate the entire island for countless years.
Very soon, Shen Lang realized that he was wrong. This metal hydrogen ball was indeed an energy core, but it did not release energy itself. Instead, it was an energy storage device.
There was a huge needle below the metal hydrogen ball that penetrated the entire mountain and reached the underground core.
Once again, Shen Lang gasped in amazement. If he was not wrong, this was a volcano.
The volcano had not erupted for countless years because its powerful energy had been devoured by the metal hydrogen ball's energy core and then released through the Nightmare Stone device, forming a special electromagnetic environment that allowed all the ancient secret weapons within the radiation radius to be used.
This was too awesome!
The Nightmare Mountain in the Western world was an extremely huge volcano. The energy it released exceeded the limits of the ancient energy core, so it caused an unprecedented explosion and volcanic eruption.
Adolf knew the ancient civilization very well, so he had successfully delayed the explosion of the Nightmare Mountain volcano by more than three hours.
Everything made sense now, because according to modern scientific theories on Earth, metallic hydrogen was a superconductor at room temperature, a super energy store. It could explode with power when it exploded.
According to this theory, if Shen Lang moved the energy core and control center away, there would be nothing to suppress the volcano. Therefore, the volcano would soon erupt and destroy everything in this secret base.
Another point was that once this energy core was moved away, it would no longer be able to devour the energy of the volcano and could only rely on energy storage. It was like a giant battery that would run out one day. Once it ran out, all the secret weapons that Shen Lang had taken with him would lose their effectiveness. If Shen Lang wanted to continue using it, he would have to find a way to recharge it.
And if he wanted to move it away, he would have to shut it down first.
"Use your mixed blood with the ancient humans." Hila could not help but remind him.
Shen Lang dipped his hand in the mixed blood and pressed his palm on the energy core.
Whoosh … As expected, the outer shell of the energy core opened up, revealing the complicated Nightmare Stone device inside.
Fortunately, this Nightmare Stone device was very familiar to Shen Lang. It was almost the same as the one in the Amazon Pyramid. This was normal. The control center of all energy cores should be similar.
Shen Lang did not immediately stop the operation of the energy core. He was a little confused.
Actually, he had already found it strange. The authority of this sunlight-colored blood was too high. There was almost no need to enter any password, not even the word 'regret'. All he had to do was press his palm on it.
It was the same for the second floor of the secret base, the outer shell of the control center, and the outer shell of the energy core.
Was it because the ancient human's blood had high authority? Or was it because of Shen Lang?
"Little brother, what's wrong?" Hila asked.
"Nothing," Shen Lang said.
He just felt like he had opened the door to a new world. He knew that his bloodline was very special. For example, any Gu in the Stupa Mountain would be poisoned to death by his blood. Even the Hellfire Bugs of the Western Vulcan Religion would be poisoned to death by his blood. Other than that, there did not seem to be anything special about it.
Now, the magic had come. His blood mixed with the ancient human's, and it seemed to be able to open many ancient devices, giving him extremely high authority.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Lang began to operate the large Nightmare Stone device.
"Three, two, one!"
The entire energy core was shut down.
Boom, boom, boom! The stone mountain under his feet trembled as if there was a small earthquake.
All the special electromagnetic waves within a radius of 20,000 meters disappeared.
Hila was wearing the Ancient Elastic Boots. She jumped, and as expected, the special elasticity was lost.
Using the Ancient Bow to shoot, it fell to the ground after shooting only 200 meters. It could no longer shoot plasma, and all the ancient secret weapons had lost their effectiveness.
The next step was to find a way to move the entire energy core and control center. Shen Lang had a headache because it might be very, very heavy.
The volume of the energy core in front of him was about 2.2 cubic meters. The density of the metallic hydrogen was an astonishing 90 tons per cubic meter, which meant that the energy core was about 180 tons. Even the Amazons would not be able to move it.
Then, the dozens of Amazons, including Hila and Princess Dora, used all their strength to lift the energy core.
They actually lifted it?!
Were they that strong? However, Shen Lang quickly understood. This energy core was far from being as heavy as 180 tons. It looked to be about two meters in diameter, but more than half of its volume was the outer shell. The real metallic hydrogen should be less than half of it.
Then, the dozens of powerful warriors carefully carried the energy core down the mountain, using all their strength to transport it to a large warship.
… …
Shen Lang once again returned to the secret underground base and found that all the doors had opened automatically, and the reflective mirrors had lost control.
The dozens of powerful female warriors then moved the thirty-meter-long Dragon's Regret Arrow. As expected, the strong electromagnetic attraction disappeared, and they easily lifted it. This Arrow of Destruction was about 30,000 pounds, much lighter than the energy core.
Then, they also moved the Arrow of Destruction to the large warship.
Shen Lang once again came to the statue of the ancient human. He should be an ancient big shot who had the right to attack the highest strategic weapon in this base.
"There should be a story behind you," Shen Lang said in a low voice. "Could it be that you were attracted by Queen Medusa and missed the opportunity?"
Hila stepped forward and said, "Little brother, let me prove it to you."
She dug out some blood fossils from the blood vessels of this ancient human leader, crushed them, then cut her finger, let the blood drip in, and mixed it with the ancient human blood powder. It actually showed colorlessness. This colorlessness was not transparent, but similar to the colorlessness of a blackboard TV, showing a kind of gray scale.
"I'm your sister. Even when my blood is mixed with his, it doesn't show the color of the sun," Hila said. "Therefore, my dear brother, your bloodline is one in a billion," Hila said. "You have a huge secret."
Shen Lang shrugged and said, "At least this isn't bad news, right?"
Hila said, "Your bloodline can open many ancient ruins in the Eastern world, and Baby Yaoyao can open many ancient ruins in the Western world. You father and daughter are probably going to rule the world?"
The more one knew about this world, the more terrifying it was. He had thought that Queen Medusa was just an ordinary ancient race, but she seemed to be a queen of an ancient lost empire.
He had thought that Shen Lang was just the son of Jiang Li, but he did not expect his bloodline to have such high authority in the Eastern Ancient Empire.
Everything seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of fog.
Then did the ancient ruins in the Southern Sea and the ancient ruins of the Sand Barbaric Race belong to the Eastern Ancient Civilization?
Shen Lang thought about it carefully. It should not belong to them, because the area of the Sand Barbaric Race belonged to another empire in ancient times, temporarily called the Ancient Southern Empire.
Baby Mulan had stimulated the bloodline of the ancient human because the Marrow Cleansing Essence was taken from the ancient ruins in the Southern Sea.
There were too many surprises in this world. He thought that he had only found the secret base of the Zhu family, but who knew that he had obtained so many ancient secret weapons.
He thought that the biggest gain was the Giant Arrow of Destruction, but he did not expect to obtain the control center and energy core of the entire secret base.
Compared to the Giant Arrow of Destruction, Shen Lang felt that the energy core and control center were the bigger gains. With this thing, Shen Lang could build an ancient civilization defense system in Raging Tide City.
The current Raging Tide City was still very weak. If the enemy attacked with all their strength, it would be very difficult to defend. But once the ancient energy defense system was built, it might be able to defend against the enemy's million-strong army.
The most important thing was that Shen Lang had relied on one leg to walk, and that was the power of modern science. Now, he had another leg, the power of the ancient civilization. Once the two were combined, only the heavens knew what kind of combat power they would have.
Shen Lang faintly felt that a golden path had appeared in front of him.
"Take all these ancient human statues away. They might have some shocking secrets on them," said Shen Lang.
"Yes!"
Everything in the secret base was moved to the fleet. Not only the ancient bow, the ancient elastic boots, thousands of nightmare stone devices, but also dozens of boxes containing things that even Shen Lang could not understand.
Those ancient gigantic crossbows had all been destroyed by the Zhu Family, and Shen Lang had also sent people to transport all the broken parts back to the ship. Perhaps, he could find a way to repair them, and these dozens of gigantic crossbows might become a part of the three-dimensional defense system of the Nu Tiao city in the future.
Against enemies on the sea, Shen Lang could use cannons. But against enemies from the sky, he would have to rely on the ancient giant crossbows. Even though Shen Lang had never seen an aerial army from the transcendent forces, it did not mean that they did not exist.
However, not seeing it didn't mean that it didn't exist. The six transcendent forces had sealed off the civilization for too long. His Majesty Jiang Li focused on researching the Ancient Bloodline, while the six transcendent forces researched the Ancient Civilization in all aspects. Furthermore, it had been more than 1,000 years.
… …
Everything had been moved.
Shen Lang looked at this isolated island. Without the suppression of the energy core, perhaps it wouldn't take long before the volcano on this island erupted, and all the traces of this island would be completely erased. Even the Zhu family wouldn't know that Shen Lang had destroyed their secret base from the beginning to the end.
"Set sail, return to Raging Tide City!" ordered Shen Lang.
The huge fleet sailed towards the south in a grandiose manner.
Three hours later, the fleet had sailed for more than a hundred miles. They could no longer see the island.
But at this moment!
"Boom boom boom boom …"
A series of loud sounds could be heard. Towering flames rushed into the sky. Even from more than a hundred miles away, it could be seen clearly.
The volcano on the secret island erupted, and it even caused a small earthquake. The sea suddenly became boiling.
This was a volcano that had been suppressed for ten thousand years. Once it was released, the energy it contained was astonishing.
Countless amounts of lava shot thousands of meters into the sky. Very quickly, the entire forest on the island began to burn. Boiling red lava flowed continuously. Perhaps it would not take long for the entire island to be completely submerged.
Everything was simply perfect. The corpses had been completely destroyed, and everything that happened here had nothing to do with Shen Lang.
Hila looked at the soaring flames and slowly said, "Brother, all of this seems to be destined by the heavens. Some people worked hard for more than ten years and paid the price of thousands of lives, but they did not obtain anything. But you, on the other hand, obtained everything with just a single trip. "
Hila then continued, "To be honest, even though I am not afraid of death, I was filled with pessimism when I followed you to the Eastern world. I felt that it was impossible for us to win. Even if we could rely on the cannons to barely win the battle at Tianyue City, we would not be able to win the battle at Sky-sea Pavilion. We would not be able to defend against the attack from the entire Great Yan Empire. But now, I am filled with confidence because we have found a truly powerful path. Furthermore, this path seems to be specially pointed out to you by the heavens. "
At this moment, Sword King Li Qianqiu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Perhaps, this is the master of destiny!"
… …
At the same time.
Another favored son of heaven had ended the war with the various countries of the Western Region and achieved an unprecedented, glorious victory in the Eastern world.
Zhu Hongxue relied on less than twenty thousand Blood Soul Soldiers to completely defeat the allied forces of the various countries of the Western Region and the Great Tribulation Temple.
He stopped his westward journey and led the twenty thousand Blood Soul Soldiers away from the various countries of the Western Region, returning to the State of Yue to participate in the decisive battle with Shen Lang in Tianyue City!
