Chapter 22 Star Furnace Secret Treasure
"Could the UFO incident back then be real? Could the luminous body I saw at that time be the alien in front of me?" Li Ming muttered to himself, and many new questions also appeared in his mind.
Where did he come from? What civilization? Why did he come to Earth?
And these questions soon had answers. The machine in front of him kept sending pieces of information into Li Ming's brain through the fingers touching the disc, and a surprising and delightful discovery soon emerged...
Vance, the name of this alien life, comes from the [Gemini System] and belongs to the [Technological Civilization] life.
The Gemini System is a star system similar to the solar system. There are countless stars similar to the sun in our known Milky Way. These stars, like the human sun, have planets revolving around themselves, but humans call the stars that provide light and warmth the sun according to their own civilization development, so the galaxy they are in is called the solar system.
The Gemini System is the name of the star by the civilization of the planet where Vance is located. Their unique civilization development calls the star the Son of Light, and there are two stars in their galaxy, so they named it the Gemini System.
In the center of the Gemini system are two stars that revolve around each other, and there are other planets on the periphery. Vance's home planet is one of these planets.
There is no detailed information about their civilization in the machine, only this general information, but this discovery has already surprised Li Ming!
Then there is their civilization, a technological civilization. The so-called technological civilization is a civilization that converts and utilizes resources and energy in a technological way. This is somewhat similar to the civilization of humans on Earth, because the current civilization of humans also belongs to technological civilization, but compared with the other party's technology, it is much weaker.
The highest civilization of life on Vance's home planet has reached the ninth level, which is only one step away from the first-level civilization. At this stage, the civilization can already develop and utilize the energy on the home planet to the extreme. At the same time, the civilization also has the ability to develop other planets outside the home planet. This is in line with Li Ming's cognition in his mind. If the life civilization reaches the first level, it can develop and utilize the capabilities of other planets in the galaxy. In other words, if human civilization reaches the first level, the energy of the nine planets in the solar system can be developed and utilized, but for now, this is out of reach for humans on Earth.
The biggest advantage of technological civilization is to use technological power to give energy to a tool or device that can be operated at will. It is a creative civilization that constantly combines the energy it obtains with other substances to form items that are beneficial to itself. It may be weapons or other supplies, just like firearms, ammunition, and electronic products in human civilization. However, the technological products of high-level civilizations will break through human imagination.
Vance comes from Shixing in the Gemini system. Shixing is Vance's home planet, one of the many planets in the Gemini system, and the name of the star is also based on its civilization foundation.
According to the information recorded on the machine, Vance's age and cognition can only reach the fifth level of his home planet's civilization, just like adults and kindergarten children on Earth, cognition and ability are divided into stages.
Vance is an underage child who accidentally broke into the solar system while driving this flying saucer and entered the human civilization on Earth. The flying saucer was damaged and lacked energy, which made Vance unable to escape the gravity of the earth and slowly oxidized to death under the action of oxygen.
Of course, Vance has lived on Earth for a long time. For example, the channels on the top and the sandstone rock are Vance's masterpieces during his lifetime. Energy collectors, these devices will enter the ground when the sun appears, return here after the sun disappears, and inject the collected light energy into the flying saucer.
Li Ming just accidentally covered the identification hole of the collector with his palm outside. He could not feel the sun, so the collector automatically closed and returned here. Other channels are also similar devices. If other devices return, it means that it is dark outside. Of course, this light energy collector has accurate and powerful sensing capabilities. If it is rainy or dusty, it will automatically return.
The light energy absorbed by the collector will enter this space and then supply it to the flying saucer. After the flying saucer absorbs the energy, the progress bar on the middle screen of the machine will increase slightly. In this way, once the energy is full, the flying saucer can get rid of the earth's gravity again and return to space.
In this no-man's land, there are no humans, and even animals are very rare. It is a perfect hiding place. It's a pity that Vance died before the energy was fully accumulated.
In addition to energy, there are also damaged parts of the UFO. After entering the earth, the UFO must have suffered varying degrees of damage due to the atmosphere and gravity, but the damaged parts cannot be replaced on earth and can only be repaired by themselves. According to the information perceived by Li Ming, the damage to the UFO is not serious, and the disassembled parts have been basically repaired, but it is obvious that the biggest problem is that there is no energy, even if it is repaired, it will not help.
After reading the information memorized by the machine, Li Ming took his fingers off the disc and looked at everything in front of him again, thinking quickly in his mind.
This high-level technological civilization across galaxies fell on the earth like this, which is really sad. Li Ming sighed slightly: "Leaving your home planet, I am afraid that everything will be out of your control in outer space."
This sentence is more like Li Ming reminding himself that if he really leaves the earth one day, will he end up like this?
This flash of thought disappeared in a flash. Li Ming looked at the energy bar on the middle screen with his eyes. His eyes suddenly turned as if he had some idea. Just when he was about to do something, he suddenly paused, as if he had given up some idea.
Although the energy bar was only one-third, after years of accumulation, this one-third also contained a lot of energy. If it could be absorbed, it would definitely be of great benefit to Li Ming.
"Getting this energy can indeed improve the progress of my civilization advancement, but this flying saucer... I'm afraid it's the most advanced aircraft on Earth. It's better to keep it first. In case I want to leave Earth one day, this is a good vehicle."
Thinking in this way, Li Ming naturally gave up the act of absorbing the energy of the flying saucer so that he could use it in the future. His eyes turned slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the door.
This door opened from the bottom side of the flying saucer. It was more than one meter high and wide, but it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen from the outside. However, Li Ming was still very curious about the high-level technological civilization of aliens. He didn't know what kind of advanced technology was in this flying saucer. After looking at it for a while, he walked over directly.
Arriving at the door, Li Ming jumped into the spaceship. Although it looked pitch black from the outside, it seemed brighter once he entered. It seemed to have a soft light, which was not only comfortable for the eyes, but also very clear.
The space inside was not big, only about five or six square meters, and Li Ming was immediately attracted by some objects as soon as he entered. There were three things floating in the space inside the flying saucer. These three things were not big, but they seemed to be floating in the air with some mysterious power, motionless.
On the far left was a round black sphere with a very smooth surface and a faint light flashing. It looked very hard, like a metal ball, the size of a ping-pong ball. But if you look closely, this black sphere looks like a bottomless vortex black hole, and the smooth surface seems to have something flowing, which is very strange.
Li Ming turned his gaze and looked at the object in the middle. This object was a flat oval silver-gray object, about the size of an egg, but not as round as an egg. It was more like a pebble in a mountain river, but there were tiny and faint light spots on it, like the Milky Way in the night sky, slightly rotating and wonderful.
With the current technology of Earth civilization, it is impossible to explain the function and value of this object, but when watching it, Li Ming seemed to have a similar memory in his mind, but he couldn't explain it clearly for a while.
Li Ming couldn't understand it and couldn't figure it out. He turned his gaze to the object on the far right, which was also the last one. This object was a hexagonal prism sphere, slightly larger in size, as big as a goose egg. The whole appearance gave people a hard texture, and the raised surface looked like a meteor hammer, but it was not round but prism-shaped, full of mechanical and sci-fi feeling.
These three things are all wonderful and unique, and are also the products of the civilization of the Vans mother planet. Li Ming's brain subconsciously flashed, as if he knew them but was unfamiliar. Li Ming was already used to this feeling, and it was not difficult to figure it out. Li Ming raised his right hand and reached out to the first black sphere.
As soon as his palm reached the vicinity of the black sphere, the object actually turned and came to the air above Li Ming's palm, as if they could sense each other. This phenomenon made Li Ming smile slightly, and the next moment, the information about this object quickly matched the memory somewhere in Li Ming's brain. Li Ming's eyes widened slightly and suddenly said: "[Star Furnace]!"
There were only fragments of the memory of the Star Furnace in Li Ming's mind, but as soon as he got this thing, those fragments were involuntarily pieced together, as if some force automatically combined these fragments, and as soon as he felt the content, Li Ming immediately smiled again.
The Star Furnace, a product of high-level technological civilization, can release a light curtain to collect any energy it touches. The collected energy will be stored in the Star Furnace, and after reaching a certain volume, it will form the power of the nebula. In addition, the light curtain of the Star Furnace can also form a light curtain shield according to the user's adjustment, and any attack form with energy will also be absorbed.
In addition, the Star Furnace has a unique and powerful function, [Refining]. However, this function is not detailed in Harris's memory fragments, and Li Ming could not understand it for a while.
However, after understanding two of the functions of the Star Furnace, Li Ming was already very excited. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide, staring at the thing in front of him, opening his mouth wide, and muttered to himself: "Fuck, so awesome?!"
This kind of thing, let alone Li Ming's fourth-level civilization, even more advanced civilizations rarely have it. Even in Harris's memory, this kind of thing has only been heard of and seen, but not owned.
In most of the advanced alien civilizations, the most common ones are energy collectors or [Star Pot] and ordinary energy collectors, but energy collectors can only collect and do not have much storage space. Although the Star Pot can store energy and synthesize nebula power autonomously, it does not have the function of shield, let alone the unknown function of refining. The function of this shield alone is already an extremely rare function.
Li Ming laughed excitedly and said to himself: "I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected harvest, hahaha..."
After laughing, Li Ming injected his consciousness into the sphere, just like opening a backpack he carried with him, and he could immediately detect the situation inside. Under the induction, Li Ming's expression returned to normal. The situation in the star furnace was the same as Li Ming expected, empty.
Vance, a life form, must be extremely dependent on energy to survive on Earth. It is normal for the star furnace to be exhausted. In addition, it also consumes energy to build this energy collection cave, not to mention that it has to face the oxygen on Earth that continues to damage life. It can be said that there are many difficulties.
In any case, this kind of treasure will naturally be used well in Li Ming's hands. In addition to being excited, Li Ming carefully put away the star furnace. At the same time, his expectant eyes immediately turned to the second thing.
