"Move this body over. This creature doesn't seem to be that simple," Hathaway suddenly said just as the Duergars were about to skin the monsters.
Two Duergars carried the body over. Hathaway threw the monster's body directly on the workbench, then took out a space bag, took out a knife, pliers, tweezers, and a bunch of professional tools for dissecting, and then put on a protective suit. The whole process took only two minutes to complete.
"You want to dissect them?" Suhlen asked in surprise.
"Yes, this creature is a newly discovered creature. I need to understand its body structure and value." Hathaway said without looking up. Then she snapped her fingers, and an energy shield wrapped the monster's body. She then put on gloves and was ready to dissect it.
Suhlen looked around and looked at Hathaway. A 36D cutie bear girl suddenly took out a bunch of knives to dissect a monster. It was a bit strange. Hathaway didn't notice Suhlen's expression. After getting ready, she began to dissect.
As an alchemist, Hathaway was also very familiar with dissection. She accurately found the easiest part to dissect, and then quickly dissected the monster's body. Seeing her neat movements, Suhlen suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He watched as Hathaway dissected a complete body into pieces like a butcher dissecting an ox, and the internal organs were also placed aside. The scales on the monster's body were also separated, and the whole workbench was filled with various internal organs and materials of the monster.
After dissecting, Hathaway took out some research tools like a microscope and other equipment from the space bag, and then began to analyze the materials. Seeing that Hathaway was busy, Suhlen didn't want to disturb her. He could only start to search the ruins.
"Sir, we found some strange devices." At this time, a Duergars ran over to report.
"Strange devices? Over there. " Suhlen's eyes lit up. The devices in the ruins were left behind from the time of the Arcane Empire, and many of the technologies were still not mastered. If they could find something good to study or repair, they might get unimaginable benefits.
"In the basement over there."
Under the lead of the Duergars, Suhlen came to the abandoned building that was still intact. There was a staircase extending downwards in the building, and they went down the stairs to the basement. Because it had been closed for a long time, the air in the basement was very turbid. Suhlen snapped his fingers and summoned two wind elementals to clean up the dust around them. At the same time, fresh air.
The basement area was very large. Suhlen roughly observed it. It was the size of a football field. After entering, Suhlen clearly felt that the strange energy was getting stronger and stronger. Summoning a ball of light, Suhlen began to observe the strange mechanical structure in the basement. It was made of red crystal mixed with a pale gold alloy.
Suhlen carefully observed for a while and found that the structure of the device was not complicated. Combined with his knowledge of magic and machinery, Suhlen roughly judged that it was a device used to amplify the energy field, and the range of coverage was just the range of the ruins.
"What is this device used for?" Suhlen frowned and then came to the middle of the device. The device was not damaged and was still working.
After circling around the device, Suhlen found the core of the device. After hesitating for a moment, Suhlen opened the core of the device.
The outer shell of the magical device slowly opened, and a cylinder rose from within. Above the cylinder, a small piece of silver-white metal emitting a strange energy field appeared in front of his eyes.
"This can't be the metal that the arcanist found, right?" The four-wheel card thought to himself. He immediately reacted to the metal in front of him.
However, after seeing this piece of metal, Suhlen suddenly felt that this metal seemed to be very similar to something he had learned about in his previous life.
"This can't be a nuclear material, can it?" A thought suddenly appeared in Suhlen's mind. He then began to compare the two in his mind. Nuclear radiation could kill creatures and also cause them to mutate, but this mutation was uncontrollable. However, the mutation in this ancient ruin was guided and interfered with by humans. Suhlen had reason to believe that this piece of metal was a nuclear material.
"System, appraise it."
"Ding! Appraisal complete. The target is a high-purity metal – plutonium. This metal has a strong radiation property. Please take note."
After hearing the system's prompt, Suhlen's expression became very interesting. He did not expect the arcanists to be so bold as to use this radioactive metal to induce mutations in living creatures. Judging from the monsters living in the ruins, their experiment was obviously a success.
As for the arcanist who was studying these mutated monsters everywhere, he had died long ago. It was no wonder that the elders of the Nine Ring Towers would oppose his continued research on this radiation mutation. It was really because the uncertainty and danger of this mutation was too high. Even if the human body in this world was good, if ordinary people were exposed to this radiation environment, the mortality rate was still very high.
Of course, Suhlen's current physical fitness had long been immune to this kind of radiation, and the gray dwarves and centaurs were also not affected much. This metal plutonium was discovered in the later days of the Arcane Empire, but unlike the arcanist who used it to induce mutation in creatures, other arcanists studied elemental fission.
It was said that this technology was used to provide a stable and huge amount of energy for the floating city. During the Arcane Empire, the floating city had an obstacle that could not be bypassed, and that was the Mise Energy Core.
This was a magical energy core. Legend had it that this energy core was born during the era of the New Gods. It was made by some great arcanists with the power of the Goddess of Magic. It could provide a huge amount of energy continuously and stably.
It was also the appearance of the Mise Energy Core that made the appearance of the floating city a reality. As the saying went, success and failure depended on the same person. The Mise Energy Core had many advantages, such as continuous and stable energy, safety and efficiency, simple maintenance, huge energy, and so on. So, for a long time, the floating city used the Mise Energy Core as its energy core.
However, the Mise Energy Core had a fatal flaw, and that was, it had to be connected to the Magic Net. Only by connecting to the Magic Net, with the help of the Magic Net, could it have that huge and almost miraculous energy. Once the Magic Net was lost, the energy of the Mise Energy Core would rapidly decline.
After the arcanists at that time discovered this problem, they began to study it continuously. Their research had two directions. One was to try the artificial Magic Net, and the other was to completely abandon the Mise Energy Core and then research and replace it with a new energy source.
In the battle between the Arcanists and the gods, the Magic Net had collapsed, but the floating cities of the Arcanists hadn't become mere decorations. It was clear that the Arcanists had succeeded, but it was unknown how far they had gone. After that great war, a lot of information about the arcanists had been erased by the gods.
It was also because this world was not the Main Material Plane that the gods were most concerned about, and the power of the gods was somewhat insufficient, so a lot of information about the Arcane Empire was secretly preserved by the wizards. However, the artificial Magic Net and Elemental Fission technology were still not left behind.
According to the information passed down, the arcanists had entered the Interstellar Era. After all, they were able to colonize planes, and the wizard civilization of this world had not yet stepped out of the plane. Only some powerful wizards relied on their own power to enter the Astral World and carry out some interstellar travel. Overall, the current civilization was still far from the heyday of the arcanists.
After all, this was an extraordinary world. Sometimes, a person's power could be so strong that it could destroy the world. For example, if a legendary spellcaster was given time to cast a level nine spell, Meteorite, it would not be a problem for him to destroy a city.
To be able to enter the Astral World, one had to be at least a legend. It was said that the danger level of the Astral World was at least level sixteen, but few people would venture into the Astral World before entering the legendary realm. It was not an adventure, it was a death wish. To explore the Astral World, one had to be at least a high-level legend.
Many evil gods lived in the Astral World, and the vast majority of ancient dragons, archaic dragons, and so on. Once you encountered them, you would not even have a chance to escape if you were below the legendary realm. Although the legendary masters could not defeat them, escaping was not a problem. After all, they had left the Material Plane. Although there was no protection from the plane, the restrictions of the plane were also loosened. A teleportation spell here was much more difficult and far than in the Material Plane.
Suhlen asked the gray dwarf to find a heavy lead box, and then put the silver-white metal into the box. As the metal was put into the lead box, Suhlen keenly found that the strange energy that had shrouded the whole ruins had completely disappeared.
In other parts of the ruins, with the disappearance of the energy field, other creatures in the ruins had some sense, and all the mutant animals became restless.
After putting away the metal, Suhlen did not leave. He intended to dismantle the equipment and transport it back. Taking out a few magic crystals, Suhlen used Image Photography to save the image of the equipment, and then carefully dismantled it.
These gray dwarves were indeed good craftsmen. Although it was the first time they had come into contact with this kind of equipment, these gray dwarves did a very good job. In addition to using Image Photography to save image data, these gray dwarves also drew a blueprint, on which all the parts were numbered. Then these parts were also recorded in that location.
After dismantling all these parts, all the parts were carefully preserved, and then put into Suhlen's storage space. However, there were still too many parts, and the storage space could not fit them all. In the end, he could only let the gray dwarves carry them.
