Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Freeman's introduction made Lanno realize the technological level of the spacecraft, but he also realized that the current condition of the spacecraft was probably quite bad.

Gravity facilities should be very important for a spacecraft's ecological cabin. Most life forms live on the surface of the earth, in a gravity environment. It is difficult to adapt to a zero-gravity environment in space without corresponding gravity simulation, and the body will develop various diseases. This is true for earthlings, and aliens are no exception.

Such important facilities have begun to have problems intermittently. This means that the spaceship's transport capacity may have reached its limit. If Lan Nuo wants to survive, he may have to consider how to repair the spaceship. However, repairing the spaceship is a very difficult problem in the current situation. After all, the people living on this spaceship seem to have completely lost their history and knowledge.

They changed from a group of advanced aliens capable of building large spacecraft to a group of feudal lords who only knew how to fight with each other for a piece of land.

"Besides the floating disaster, have there been any other disasters here?" Lanno's question made Freeman a little confused. Is it necessary to ask him such common sense questions? But he still answered honestly. After all, the guy next to him looked gentle, but in fact he was a pervert who could take the head of a person in the midst of an army.

"In addition, there will be frost disasters every once in a while, and we are now in one of these cold winters. The temperature of the whole world will become lower and lower. The cold winter may last for several years or even more than ten years. This cold winter came very slowly, but this often means that the temperature will rise very slowly. This is absolutely catastrophic for us.

When winter comes, snow and wind will cover the entire land. No plants will grow on the land. All food sources can only rely on the harvest altar, and we must consume the stored fuel to keep warm in the winter.

The war that broke out between us and the Tower Kingdom, in addition to following the traditions left by our ancestors, was most importantly due to the fight for fuel."

Lan Nuo thought thoughtfully: "The tradition left by our ancestors is for us to fight each other?"

"That's right. Even if there are no conflicts, we still have to go to war every year. So life is not that easy for a small noble like us who live in the frontier." Freeman also began to play the victim. Lan Nuo was not someone he could deal with. Lan Nuo thought to himself: "Their ancestors left such ancestral teachings. It is probably for population control. Family planning is basically not feasible in ancient times. When the level of civilization is not enough, humans will tend to over-breed. The dynasty cycle in ancient times was largely due to this.

Moderate wars can indeed control population growth. In this case, the group of people who left them the ancestral teachings should not have declined to the current level.

Or maybe they were the last group of people who still mastered the knowledge and technology of the civilized era. But for some reason they were unable to maintain it, and could only leave such ancestral teachings to their descendants. "

"I have a general understanding of your situation. Next, take me to your library. If you don't have any, take me to your collection." Lan Nuo needs to borrow these books to decipher the text they use and learn about their cultural history.

Although Freeman was the ruler of the castle, he dared not object at this time. Under his guidance, Lanno saw a spiral staircase leading to the underground of the castle. As he continued to go down, he noticed that this spiral staircase was not built with the technology of this era. It should be a deep underground well from the period when civilization had not yet declined. It was probably a facility used for some kind of maintenance.

There are gates on the side of the spiral staircase, but their function is no longer apparent because they have been converted into rooms in the castle, where servants now live.

Going down the spiral staircase, we came to the open area below. This area was later divided into small areas and independent spaces by people. However, judging from the overall appearance, this should have been a facility similar to an underground parking lot.

However, what was parked there should not be a vehicle, but some other means of transportation, because Lan Nuo did not find a slope in the underground parking lot that would allow the vehicle to drive out smoothly. Instead, the vertical shaft corresponding to the spiral staircase in the castle was very suitable for flying straight up and down.

The library is located in this basement. After Lan Nuo forced the lord here to open the door, he sat in the library and began to read quickly.

Freeman saw that the man beside him was absorbed in reading. He rolled his eyes and prepared to run away. No matter how powerful the other party was, he couldn't keep his attention split. When he was absorbed in reading, the knife in his hand might not be so steady. He only needed to run a certain distance. The underground environment was so complicated and the other party was not as familiar with it as he was. He would definitely not be able to outrun him. After escaping, he would take the soldiers and money and quickly flee from his castle. He would let other nobles come to solve this kind of trouble. No matter how powerful a person is, he is just one person after all.

However, just as he was about to quietly move his feet towards the door handle, the tip of the knife suddenly jumped to his temple. Lan Nuo's eyes were still on the book, but the blade in his hand had already been raised, aiming accurately at his head, absolutely sure to kill him with one blow.

"I advise you not to play any tricks. In fact, even if I let you run away now and let you run for a meal, I can guarantee to catch you back within a day. If you don't believe me, we can give it a try."

"I dare not! I dare not!" Freeman shuddered with fear. If he really ran away, what kind of horrible punishment would he face if he was caught? He dared not imagine it.

Lan Nuo gradually learned the language of this world while reading these books, and also gained a deeper understanding of the current situation of this world.

The most common disasters in this world are cold winter and weightlessness. According to historical records, these two disasters have become more frequent and more severe over time. This shows that the condition of this spacecraft is getting worse and worse.

The food on the spacecraft did come mostly from the organic matter manufacturing facility called the Harvest Altar. They could use the ash water and the gases in the atmosphere to synthesize food that could sustain life for humans in this world. The taste was hard to describe, but the nutritional content was actually very comprehensive.

As for the few organic manufacturing machines that can produce delicious food, they are secretly monopolized by the royal family. They are also one of the biggest cash cows in the major kingdoms. These things are probably the facilities for producing seasonings before civilization was cut off. After all, aliens are also human beings, and they can't tolerate monotonous food all year round, especially when they have the ability to improve it with only a small amount of resources.

In addition, other materials needed in this era are also produced in factories. Just now in the town, Lan Nuo noticed the electric lights installed in the castle. He even asked someone to dismantle one for him. After observation, he found that these electric lights did not look like old products. At least the use time does not exceed 10,000 hours. The design of the use time of this thing is not particularly long. It should be the same as ordinary light bulbs produced on Earth. This means that there should be a factory on the spacecraft that produces such simple electrical appliances, or there should be a large amount of inventory from which spare parts can be obtained.

In addition, clothing and other things seem to be produced in factories. Although the styles of everyone's clothing are not uniform, the fabric materials used are similar. Cloth and other things should not be produced by them. This is understandable. After all, land resources are limited. Whether it is planting crops such as flax or cotton, or other fiber plants of aliens, it is quite difficult to obtain enough cloth.

There are a total of 4 kingdoms on the entire spaceship. They are the Iron City where he is now, the Tower Kingdom that just fought with them, as well as Free City and Star Castle.

Each of these kingdoms also has its own responsibilities and controls different factories. The Iron City controls smelting factories and some machinery production factories. According to records, machines such as electric lights are produced by these factories. This city-state is rich in mechanics, and they are good at operating these ancient machines.

Liberty City is said to be a city built by craftsmen and merchants. They control a series of light industrial factories, such as factories producing cloth and paper, which also makes them occupy an important position. Especially when the cold winter comes, the price of cloth used to keep warm is even higher.

The Star Castle has inherited the most knowledge. It has the largest library among the four kingdoms, which is said to record ancient history.

As for the Tower Kingdom, it is recorded as the royal orthodoxy and the only kingdom that protects the ancestor Honglu.

According to their legend, the souls of their ancestors live in the Ancestral Furnace. Everyone will enter the Ancestral Furnace after death and become the fuel inside. It is because of the protection of this furnace that they can avoid the cold winter disaster. It is also because of the existence of the Ancestral Furnace that the spirit of electricity can flow in the four kingdoms.

"In a way, these people are right. The Ancestral Furnace is most likely a giant nuclear reactor, and it is indeed what provides energy and electricity to the spacecraft. Fortunately, these people's civilization has regressed, otherwise according to their records, they have lived here for thousands of years. If they consumed material resources at the living standard of interstellar civilization, they probably wouldn't have been able to last that long."

Lan Nuo gained a deeper understanding of this world, and also determined that the situation of the reactor on this spaceship might not be optimistic.

Because according to the records in the books, there are powerful guardians around the Ancestral Furnace. The four kingdoms will select the most elite young people. They are the strongest and have undergone rigorous training. They are the most powerful warriors on this spaceship, and they will be sent to guard the Ancestral Furnace. These guardians are called Blood Servant.

While protecting their ancestors, they also gained their ancestors' power, and turned into powerful monsters with infinite strength. Their combat power was at the mythical level, but their lifespan was short and their appearance was ugly.

Lan Nuo didn't dare to believe the fighting power of the Blood Servant recorded in the book, because in history, no one had ever really fought with the Blood Servant, and no one dared to attack the Ancestral Furnace. No matter how strong an army that had never experienced actual combat could be, it would be impossible.

Judging from the performance of these people, they are most likely not blessed by their ancestors, but rather they are leaking something. These people were affected by radiation, which resulted in ugly appearances and physical mutations. It is estimated that the strongest fighting power of these victims of radiation sickness is their faces that are enough to scare everyone.

The reactor that already had radiation leakage was certainly not in a good condition. Lan Nuo was already having a headache about how to repair the reactor under the radiation. His only hope now was that the four kingdoms in the world had parts left over from previous civilizations.

With these spare parts, it is still possible to repair the reactor. If they don't expect them to produce them themselves, it is impossible. The fragile ecological environment in the ecological drum cannot allow the birth of any heavy industry.

After finishing reading the contents of the book, Lan Nuo looked at Baron Freeman beside him, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After understanding this world, he began to think about how he should act in this world.

  What role can Freeman, a small border noble, play for him?

After a little thought, Lan Nuo had an idea. First, he had to go to the Tower Kingdom and see with his own eyes the condition of the Ancestral Furnace. Secondly, he had to gain control of this world and unite the strength of everyone as much as possible before he could repair the reactor.

Even if there were spare parts, this advanced reactor could not be repaired by him alone. And after repairing it, he would have to find a way to rebuild civilization. The ancestral teachings left by these people's ancestors were beneficial to their continuation, but they were too simple and could only allow them to survive for a while.

Now it is already the limit. Lan Nuo estimated that he would have to find a way to train talents who could at least barely operate the spacecraft. Since this is a spacecraft, it can theoretically dock, even if it finds a random planet to land, the situation will be much better than it is now.

Thinking of this, Lan Nuo made a suggestion to Freeman beside him that almost scared him to death: "Baron Freeman, are you interested in forming an army with me to attack the Tower Kingdom and seize the Ancestral Furnace?"
