Roland immediately picked up the phone to the Third Border City and said, "Tell Celine not to dismantle the Magic Ceremony Cube! I'll be right there! "
"Yes... yes, Your Majesty!" The messenger on the other side of the phone obviously did not understand what was going on, but he still followed the order.
"Take me to the Border City," Roland turned to Nightingale and said, "as fast as you can."
"Got it." The latter smiled and grabbed his hand. "You may feel a little dizzy."
Then the two of them instantly disappeared into the Mist.
Five minutes later.
"Uh..." Roland appeared in the underground hall with his hand covering his mouth. He had to admit that Nightingale had become much more familiar with her ability than when they first met. Traveling in the black and white world was like surfing. The waves were overwhelming, but Celine could use them to move forward. Her movements were like floating clouds and flowing water. It was like a work of art. Roland, however, did not enjoy it so much, especially the changing contours that blurred the boundary between flat and three-dimensional. The feeling of the world turning upside down was a hundred times more exciting than riding a roller coaster. "Finally... we're here."
Nightingale smiled and patted him on the back.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Celine slowly descended from the top of the cave with a lot of tools in her hands. "I heard you were looking for me? "
Looking at the hammers, saws, and files on Celine's tentacles, Roland breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that we made it."
But why are there halberds and axes among the tools? Is she going to chop the Magic Cube into powder?
"Where is the ancient artifact?"
"It's still in the underground laboratory. "
He took a deep breath and asked, "Can you replicate it?"
Celine was obviously stunned. "Are you sure? Wasn't that thing completely useless? "
"Maybe it's not useless." Roland briefly explained his idea. "The biggest drawback of steam power is that the fuel is too heavy. If there is a way to replace it with the Rubik's Cube, it is likely to bring a new round of revolution in industrial production."
An efficient and powerful power source was always the core of the industry. Whether it was used in manufacturing, power generation, or equipment, it could cause a qualitative change.
Of course, it would not be easy to take this step. The relationship between the traditional boiler and the Rubik's Cube was not a simple one. After switching to a new heating method, the thermal circulation and interaction system, control system, and maintenance would all change accordingly. Before success, he might have to face countless failures, but this was worth the effort to try.
"Boiling water... I see." Celine thought for a moment and then said awkwardly, "But... if I don't carefully explore the internal structure, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to replicate it. After all, it involves magic, and you don't allow me to dismantle it. "
"Ahem, I mean, don't disassemble it like it's trash." Roland coughed twice. "If it's for imitation purposes, it's certainly not a problem to carefully and carefully dissect it."
"Is there any careless and careless disassembly?" Celine said in surprise. Then she sounded a little aggrieved. "When I was in the Quest Society, I had to be punished for damaging any relic. But from the time I joined the society until the fall of Taquila, I was never punished. Lady Natalia even praised me personally, saying that I had a pair of naturally skillful hands. If I was careless in my research, the core instruments in the hall would have been destroyed long ago. " "
Faced with this boastful excuse, Roland looked at the tools in her hand doubtfully. "You used to use them to disassemble relics?"
"These?" Celine was startled. "How is that possible? Didn't you give the sisters new weapons and equipment? It turns out that no one uses those swords, spears, and axes. Instead of letting them rust in the warehouse, it's better to use them to make other things. I happen to be short of a few bookshelves in my database. By the way, why did you use these abandoned weapons as research tools? " "
Nightingale suddenly covered her mouth and turned her head away. Judging from her slightly trembling shoulders, it seemed that she was having a hard time holding it in.
Roland could not help feeling a little embarrassed. "No, I thought you would go crazy when it comes to things related to magic power..."
"It must be Pasha again," Celine said, using her main tentacles to support the huge tumor. "She can't tell the difference between enthusiasm and interest... A real explorer needs to be clear-headed and meticulous, as well as precise and controllable actions. Working all night for a few days or muttering to herself in a book, it's not crazy at all... "
Seeing that Celine could not stop talking, Roland quickly interrupted her. "Let's not talk about that. Are you sure that you can replicate the Magic Ceremony Cube after you figure out its structure?"
Celine returned to normal when it came to business. "It depends on the complexity of the Magic Ceremony Cube. Although I can't be 100% sure, the possibility is not low. The Magic Ceremony Cube has an obvious feature, which is that it can be manipulated without magic power, which means the biggest obstacle is no longer there. " "
"The most difficult thing to replicate is the way to use magic power!" Roland immediately realized the key point.
"You're right." Celine nodded her main tentacles. "Humans, demons, the underground civilization... and other races have different ways of using magic power due to the differences in physiology and thinking. Take the Magic Stone for example. I'm afraid that we will never be able to embed it into our bodies like the demons and gain many abilities. Similarly, if I hadn't transformed into the original carrier, I wouldn't have been able to repair the magic core with my human body. " "
"Manipulating the Magic Ceremony Cube without magic power means that I don't have to study what kind of Magic Cyclones this civilization had and how they used them. To be honest, without enough information, it's almost impossible to overcome this obstacle. But now, as long as I can make it exactly the same as the original, I can make the magic power have the same effect. Of course, this was still very difficult in the Taquila era. Now that I can adjust the magic core at will, the situation is much better. " "
Celine paused for a moment. "But besides that, there's another obstacle that I need to solve. "
"What is it?"
"Materials." "She said," I have been studying the Rubik's Cube these days, and I found that although it looks like a stone, it is not made of stone. I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's the bones of an alien race, or the solidification of something else. Anyway, I need more samples... But you said that the Temple of the Cursed has been empty for many years. Even this relic's whereabouts are only known by chance. So, it's still unknown whether I can use replacement materials to achieve the same effect. " "
"Materials..." Roland muttered. "Maybe there's another place where I can find something similar."
