Looking at the rare positive look on Tyre's face, Gwen knew that he had hooked the fish. But he still did not know how he did it. According to his original plan, he was going to take Tyre out for a while and use all kinds of things in the human world to arouse the fish's interest. He did not expect the fellow to be interested in the Rainbow Cannon.
But it was not a bad thing. She had taken the bait.
"You're interested in the Rainbow Cannon?" Gwen looked at Tyre. "Is this thing very powerful in the eyes of the sirens?"
"Powerful? The power is not bad, but we don't lack weapons … "Tyre shook her head." I'm just curious … how do you restrain such powerful and pure arcane energy … and how do you extract this energy from the ordinary magic environment? "
Tyre was not interested in the Rainbow Cannon itself. For the once highly developed siren civilization, the manufacturing process and engineering technology of this new weapon were not too advanced. But she was curious about the principle behind the Rainbow Cannon and the way Cecil's people controlled magic.
Gwen quickly figured it out. He looked at Tyre's eyes, which were finally awake. He did not immediately respond to the other party's request. Instead, he asked, "Can I ask more specifically? Why are you interested in this part of the technology? You sirens often observe the races on the land. Have you not been interested in our magic technology system before? "
"The magic technology system on the land?" Tyre slapped the deck of the Polar Light with her tail. "Ha, you mean the 'skill' system that you people on the land invented? Or the Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 magic circles? That's completely different! Your 'skill' system is completely useless to us. Haven't you noticed it yourself? This thing called the Rainbow Cannon … it's a more fundamental energy utilization technology. It extracts energy from the Magic Net, then adjusts, constrains, focuses, and finally fires. What level of magic is it in this process? What skill is it? There's no such concept at all! "
It was rare for the siren to be so excited. Her tail kept slapping on the deck. Although her words were difficult to understand and even incoherent, Gwen vaguely understood what the siren was concerned about.
The 'universal energy' attribute of the Magic Net.
Humans had spent thousands of years building a set of 'skill trees' to transform magic into various levels of skills, into various types of spells, and countless complex and different spells and spell models to transform magic into specific phenomena. However, these 'skills' that only humans could understand and master were meaningless to the sirens. Their life form seemed to determine that they could not understand human spells at all. They could neither learn nor use it.
What they needed was' universal energy '.
But it seemed that due to the problem of their life form, they had never found a way to transform magic into universal energy.
The Rainbow Cannon allowed Tyre to see a new technological route. She felt from the destructive beam that was enough to let the sirens break through some kind of bottleneck. And this power … was not a rigid skill, but pure energy drawn from the Magic Net, adjusted by runic arrays, and condensed by the Rainbow Crystal. This energy could be launched as a weapon, but as long as the control runes were changed, it could also be used elsewhere.
Gwen knew that the sirens had an ancient lost city. The energy reactor in the city had been extinguished for many years. They needed a powerful new energy source to ignite the reactor. Although the flesh of the gods they dug from the seabed was powerful, perhaps because they could not completely transform it, they could only maintain the 'residual temperature' of the reactor, but could not wake up the entire city.
After a short thought, Gwen broke the silence. "Can the Rainbow Cannon 'ignite' your reactor?"
"Maybe not now. It's not strong enough. Compared with our core fusion tower, it's just a small spark …" Tyre turned her head and looked at the Rainbow Cannon on the deck. "But you made this spark appear …"
Most of the technology that could change the world was rudimentary when it was first born. It was so rudimentary that the ignorant would sigh, "What's the point of this fancy thing?" In the eyes of a high-level civilization, this rudimentary technology was especially serious.
Only a few people at this stage could recognize the value behind these 'little sparks' and how far they could grow.
Gwen did not expect Tyre, who was usually sleepy, to have such a vision. But he was glad that Tyre had such a vision.
A fish with better vision would usually bite the bait more firmly.
"I'll give you one." Gawain smiled and nodded at Tyr. "Of course, you'll have to pay something in return."
"Just say the word." Tyre patted the deck with his tail confidently. "I am a war priest after all. I will definitely be of great use to you. Or do you want wealth and treasures? Then I can also find a way, the deep sea … "
"I am not interested in your personal combat power and personal savings," Gwen interrupted Tyre. "Technology still needs to be exchanged with technology."
"Exchange with technology?" Tyre blinked. "What do you mean?"
"How much … do you know about shipbuilding?"
As soon as Gawain asked this question, Byron, who was standing beside him, had an expression of 'it's finally here' on his face. Obviously, the knight already knew why his lord had brought this siren here. Rebecca, who had just finished checking the status of the Rainbow Cannon, was stunned when she heard Gawain's words. She blinked and looked at Gawain. "Ancestor, are you planning to let Miss Tyr help us build the ship?"
After getting a positive answer from Gwen, Rebecca could not help but scratch her head. She looked at Tyre with eyes full of doubt. "But can she do it?"
Before Tyre could answer Gwen's question, he heard Rebecca's question. He looked puzzled. "Why do you think I can't do it?"
Rebecca was probably still immersed in the rune group and mechanical structure of the rainbow cannon. Her head was still dizzy and she said casually, "Do you sirens need to build ships? It's not like you don't know how to swim … "
Tyre could not help but look at Rebecca. "You humans can walk. Why do you need to build a car?"
Rebecca's expression suddenly calmed down. After a while, she said, "Oh right …"
After putting aside the girl who was always out of her mind, Tyre turned back to Gwen. "You want me to help you build the ship, right? Okay, I have no problem with that. But first, I have to make a few points clear.
"First, the 'ship' that I understand is definitely different from the shipbuilding technology that you humans have now. Most of the time, we don't need an underwater vehicle that floats on the water all the time and has to be sealed and dry. But this is not a big problem. With our technology of making underwater vehicles, it is not difficult to surpass you even in the field that we are not good at. This is not an offense, but a fact.
"Second, I can tell your craftsmen a lot of knowledge, such as fluid mechanics, material science, special coating technology, and even power technology. But it is very likely that these technologies are too advanced to be realized because they require a lot of prerequisite technology and industrial foundation. And I don't know how to make these things step by step. So it is very likely that I have been your consultant for a few years and drawn a lot of good blueprints, but your craftsmen still can't make anything. You can't blame anyone for this.
"Finally, although I have agreed to the technology exchange, this is in my personal name. I can't contact the Deep Sea Throne now, so all my promises are limited to my personal authority. I can only help you build the ship. I will not help with anything that involves weapons and other war technology. But in the future, if we sirens establish a long-term relationship with Cecil, I will help you to build a good relationship with my people. "
After Tyre had mentioned the three conditions, Gwen looked at him and asked again, "Is that all?"
Tyre thought for a moment and said, "Hmm … Help me make the pool in the room bigger. Sprinkle more salt. That's all."
"Of course." Gwen could not help but laugh. "I can agree to all these conditions. In exchange, you can follow Kamel and Rebecca to learn about the general energy technology behind the Rainbow Cannon. When you know enough and think the conditions are right, you can choose to send these technologies back to the deep sea. I also welcome you to bring other sirens here. Of course, if you want to leave early, you have to leave us enough information about the ship technology. "
The siren lady happily agreed.
The deal that Gwen had been thinking about for a long time was finally done.
He finally got the technology of this superior lost civilization, although it was only a small part.
As for the conditions that Tyre had mentioned, he had actually thought about it from the beginning.
The sirens were a civilization that was completely different from any land race, and their technology came from the 'lost era' before the Demonic Tide. This determined that their technological path was not the same as that of humans. Just in terms of 'shipbuilding', Gwen could think of more than one major 'divergence point'.
The sirens' first ship was most likely a submarine, because they developed underwater.
The sirens' first submarine should not have any concept of sealing. It was full of the same seawater as the outside, just like the open-top carriage built by humans. This was determined by their life form.
Even if they built a ship to sail on the water, the sirens had probably never considered any life-saving devices such as escape boats. They might not even know how to build a waterproof cabin. What if the ship sinks? Drive it like a submarine! What if the submarine sinks? Give it a push on the seabed! What if the whole ship disintegrates on the spot? Swim back. This was most likely the most reasonable idea of a siren ship engineer.
But even so, Gwen believed that the siren Tyre could bring a huge boost to the shipbuilding technology in his territory.
Not to mention anything else, the 'fluid mechanics' that Tyre casually mentioned proved his judgment. It was a new word, a combination of the two words' flow 'and' law 'in the common human language. Tyre stumbled when he said it. Byron and Rebecca were completely at a loss when they heard the word, but Gwen knew what it meant.
In addition, Gwen was not worried at all about whether the sirens' ships were sealed because he remembered that Tyre said that the sirens' city was originally a giant flying ship. With the survival needs of saltwater fish, the ship should have simulated an 'ocean ecosystem', so now they must have amazing sealing technology.
There was no difference between sealing water outside the ship and sealing water inside the ship (Nonsense in Amber).
Of course, considering the huge difference between the sirens' shipbuilding technology and humans', Gwen had to carefully consider the working method of the "Cecil Shipbuilding Bureau" when he returned to prevent the ships from being too 'siren' and not practical. After all, Tyre was not a professional in the sirens' field. She was likely to be a 'keyboard warrior' like himself. So it was best to let this fish be a special consultant, not the overall project commander.
