meta plan

Chapter 20 Sanda Village

From the Taka border, westward through the wilderness, the shuttle boat team continued to fly at the speed of sound for a week, and they arrived near the Soi mountain tribe.

During this week, at Alanduil's insistence, he gave their shuttle boat a high-profile and resounding name other than the number 747-Skyblade.

After the Skyblade arrived at the border of the Soi tribe, as they entered the Taihao star time zone, the time of day and night became shorter.

For the sake of safety, they did not rush into the sky above Soi's territory.

At Eli's suggestion, when night fell, the shuttle boat Tianblade dispatched two miniature reconnaissance planes to scan and collect landform information.

According to the light on the ground at night, the approximate location of the settlement of the southern metaclasses can be determined.

On the second day after determining the general settlement area of ​​the southern Yuanxuan, the Tianren shuttle boat stopped more than ten kilometers away from the southern Yuanxuan settlement, in a spacious canyon composed of rocks. Evacuate to the situation.

As a relay transmitter, the Tianren shuttle boat can connect the armor on Nora's three people with the miniature reconnaissance plane and share images.

Inside the Skyblade, Nora stared at the image of the miniature reconnaissance plane, as if waiting for something.

After a period of time, in the real-time images sent back by the reconnaissance plane, there were traces of buildings on the original rocky slopes, as well as traces of southern metamorphosis active on the ground.

After getting the information she wanted, Nora quickly called back to the miniature reconnaissance plane to avoid being discovered by the southern metahumans.

"The location has been determined, we can set off."

"These scanned and enlarged clothing, after choosing one and setting the armor display, we will set off on foot."

The three of them were wearing armor modified by the Doctor and Hodel, with holographic projection function.

According to their settings, they can project whether they are wearing armor or not, and they can also independently set up different costumes to switch.At the same time, a built-in translator can realize simultaneous interpretation between their language and the south, and realize barrier-free communication.

Alanduil looked at the Southern Yuanxuan clothing scanned by the miniature reconnaissance plane just now, and it was really hard to say.

Coarse linen clothes, animal fur collars, decorations made of shells and stones, and colorful bell-shaped trousers. Women’s skirts can still be seen, but men’s are too rough.

"This kind of clothes is only a little better than the savages. I have to design and modify it."

"Just don't go too far, hurry up. We don't know what dangerous creatures exist here, try to return to the Skyblade before night falls."

Under Alandir's secondary design, the configuration of the virtual appearance clothing is completed.

So three pseudo-southern metaclasses, whose clothes were somewhat different from those of the locals, entered the territory of the Soi tribe.

Out of the canyon, you can see the high and low hillsides and boulders in the distance, as well as low shrubs, trees and shrubs. At first glance, the ecological level is higher than that of the grassland.

Nora glanced at the ether detector, but there was no display, and it was not a problem of equipment damage.

Alanduil looked at Nora who suddenly stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The ether detector doesn't respond, either we are standing in the ether coverage area, or there is something blocking its signal."

Alanduil looked around, but there was no huge spar at all.They are all ordinary stones, and there are at most some quartz crystals exposed on the surface.

But even a non-professional like him can see that this is definitely not an ether crystal.

"There should be something blocking the signal of the ether spar, let's move on."

Nora became interested in the geology here. Quartz crystals widely exist in igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks, but ordinary quartz crystals will not block the signal.

She took some samples, and through the study of the geological evolution process of these quartz, she can understand the primary succession in the south and look for clues of ether spar.

In the final analysis, the ether spar that produces the red magnetic field covering the south is just someone's speculation, whether it is in a crystal state or not has not been verified.

To produce such a large magnetic field barrier, the volume of the energy center will not be small.Before coming to the south, she guessed whether it was a gaseous or liquid substance, but according to the current information, these two conjectures were not valid.

The southern air, which is poisonous to the north, is ineffective on the southern metahumans, probably related to the presence of grains in their blood cells.

It's a pity that she doesn't have the blood sample of the southern metaclass on hand, otherwise it can be further analyzed.

The three of them continued on for more than an hour, and they were already very close to the village detected by the drone.

The three of them observed the villages scattered in the slope valley through binoculars, and it seemed that there were less than thirty original buildings.

The outside of the building is based on five stone pillars with inscriptions, the roof is in the shape of a bamboo hat, and the wooden rattan material is covered on the main body of the pillar-shaped building.

A few children were playing, and by the stream to the west of the village, a few women seemed to be chatting.There are also many male metaclasses who are forging iron and slaughtering prey, a very typical small village,

According to Arendil's diplomatic proposal, the three of them will deal with the southern metaclasses as travelers.

According to the memory data of the captive southern Yuanxuan, the five tribes, due to the large differences in geographical environment, the occupations of each tribe are also quite different.

The Soi tribe is rich in skilled craftsmen, and the Soi tribe provides a large amount of arms exports to the south, but looking at the appearance of this village, it is obviously not in line with the statement of skilled craftsmen.

Traveler is a recognized occupation for material exchange and trading between tribes.And black crystal is the common currency in the south, and black crystal is obsidian, which is basically worthless in the north.

But here in the south, black crystals are used as a measure of equivalent exchange because of their scarcity.

After observing for a while, there are sentry towers around the village as a cordon, and metaclasses are patrolling them, so sneaking in secretly seems even more suspicious.

Arandil: "Let's go now."

Nora and Eli didn't object, anyway, the next step of the plan would be convenient after the direct contact.

Just as they approached the entrance of the village, a loud noise caused commotion among the villagers.

Near a house in the outermost border of the village, the roof was blown away, the debris was blown away, and fell to the ground, smoke billowed out, and a man with a dirty face fled hastily.

Because of this movement, the three of Nora entered the village without attracting their attention and became spectators.

The southern Yuanxuan in the village quickly gathered in front of the bombed house, and one of the older southern Yuanxuan frowned and asked: "Yang Chen, what did you do again?"

Nan Yuanxuan, who was named, scratched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Village chief, I just want to test how some crystal powders, saltpeter, and sulfur powder will react under pressure."

"Village Chief! The roof fragments that fell just now almost hit my children. This is not the first time Yang Chen has made dangerous moves!"

"Yes, the unicycle he invented last time knocked out my child's teeth!"

"And that blower, it burned my man's hair off!"

"Let him move out of the village, otherwise I don't know what crazy moves he will do in the future!"

When the surrounding villagers mentioned Yang Chen's historical deeds, they were all full of anger, wishing that the village chief would drive him out!

The ashamed Yang Chen explained: "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't mean it, I just wanted to do something for everyone."

"It's best if you don't do anything. We raised you after your mother and father died. Is this how you repay us?"

The words of the villagers became more and more excessive, and the village chief said: "Okay, everyone leave, I will deal with this matter."

The villagers scattered to work cursing, and the village chief glanced at Nora and the three of them.

"Three outsiders, are they businessmen or borrowers?"

Alanduil: "Old man, let's change something."

"I just heard from this little brother that I am interested in that kind of experimental product, can you sell it?" Providing benefits to the other party can bring interaction and intelligence.

"I would like to exchange ten black crystals for one."

When Yang Chen heard this, it was a big deal, and the price could improve the living conditions in the village.

But the village chief asked back: "That is a very dangerous thing. You all saw it just now. If you are not careful, you will hurt your life. What are you three doing here?"

Alandir thought that the old man would not fool around: "Village Chief, you must have heard that there is a war going on outside, and it is said that the Yuans in the north are particularly cruel. We also want to change some self-defense methods. In case the war spreads, there is a way to protect ourselves." force."

Yang Chen echoed: "That's right, that's right, village chief, I think so too, that's why I want to study this shell."

"Our Sangda Village is located in a remote place, and the flames of war will not spread here! You are taking your own life to mess around!"

"Several, this thing is not for sale, if you want to barter, go to other people in our village and ask."

Alanduil didn't bother, and it could be seen that Yang Chen hadn't given up yet, as long as they stayed here for a while, he would take the initiative to find them.

So, Nora, Alendil and other villagers exchanged obsidian for some food, decorations, and handicrafts as the harvest of this trip.

By the evening, Alendir had already felt the situation of the village was almost the same.

This village does not welcome outsiders, even if they send them a lot of money, they all feel that they don't want them to spend the night in the village, and someone is secretly watching their every move.

But for that Yang Chen, after walking around for a while, Alanduil understood it very clearly.

Yang Chen's grandfather was a well-known master craftsman of the Suoi clan, who invented many convenient tools and military weapons that were beneficial to the life of the southern metahumans.

But after Yang Chen's grandfather passed away for some reason, his parents took him to live in Sangda Village for more than ten years. He was unfortunately killed in a strange beast attack, and Yang Chen grew up eating a lot of food.

Yang Chen wanted to be a master craftsman like his grandfather, so he often used his wildest ideas to come up with all kinds of useless inventions, which hurt innocent people several times, so the villagers had great opinions on him.

Nora said that she felt it was necessary to obtain a sample of the crystal powder Yang Chen experimented with.

Alanduil patted the chest to assure, wrap it on him!
