Chapter 317 The Technology We Can Make Use Of!

Anything, as long as it begins, can be traced next.

In the quiet home, without being disturbed, Lin Luoran only failed once in the following alchemy. When all the Monkey Mushrooms were used up, she successfully refined eleven Foundation-laying Bolus total with these from the first furnace.

Foundation-laying Bolus is not a common thing. Lin Luoran has run out the Monkey Mushroom as well as the Seven Stars Grass. She gathers a lot of seeds in the secret space, but she does not find the Seven Stars Grass. If she mobilizes all the cultivators but still can’t find the Monkey Mushroom or the Seven Stars Grass, it will be the last Foundation-laying Bolus she made, even if she has the space.

She plans to give two out of the eleven boluses to Li Xi’er. After all, a Monkey Mushroom of the two is a gift from the Old Monkey.

One for Yuan Ye, one for Zeng Tian, three for Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin and Baojia, now six boluses are off.

Ye Xiaobei who found “the book of monsters of wood” will have one… There are four left, and if Wen Guanjing needs, she will not mind giving him one. As for the rest, she saves them in case of an emergency.

Lin Luoran plays with one of the Foundation-laying Boluses. Then it occurs to her that Yang Lisha, the enchantress, seems to owe her some interest?

Now Yang Lisha has “the book of monsters of wood”. She said she would give them the records of Mount Penglai as long as she sees soul wood. After so many difficulties, it turns out that Lin Luoran gets her the ancient book of her tribe at the cost of a Foundation-laying Bolus?

Lin Luoran is not eager to know the news of Mount Penglai now. She wants to cultivate herself into the state of Bearing Essence in the five years… Mount Penglai should not be a safe place. Now her personal ability is not enough for self-protection.

It’s necessary to find a way to help Mrs. Lin rebuild the Taoist root. Lin Luoran thinks, and takes out a bamboo tube to store all the Foundation-laying Boluses. Compared to the jade box, the spirit bamboo that is dug from the colored waterfall dug is more suited to preserve the Reiki.

However, she has no time to talk about the “interest” with the enchantress yet. Lin Luoran receives Master Guo’s call. Has the Heart of Druid she sent been analyzed?

Lin Luoran has to go to the capital. This time she doesn’t go to the villa in Fragrant Hills, but to Master Guo’s house.

Master Guo’s home… is a heavily guarded base.

Lin Luoran gets off the back of Goldie. There is an old acquaintance in one of the several military jeeps.

“Colonel…Lu?” Lin Luoran distorts her face when she sees the two poles three stars on Lu Sanchun’s shoulder. Lu Sanchun is being promoted too fast in recent years, isn’t he? Every time seeing him, he gets a promotion. He rises like a rocket. More importantly, he is not a civilian officer.

Lu Sanchun gives a military salute. “Miss Lin, this way, please.”

On the military jeep, looking at the force equipment, Lin Luoran doesn’t let Goldie fly in the sky and puts it on the open window in case of misunderstanding. The jeeps drive to the hill.

In an ordinary barren mountain whose mountainside is dug out, even Lu Sanchun needs to go through layers of inspection to take down with Lin Luoran.

There are many soldiers in various ranks along the road, some of which Lu Sanchun should salute and some of which he needn’t. The ranks in the military system are the most rigid, being clear without any hypocrisy. But without exception, they all must salute Lin Luoran… Some of the civilian and technician officers even peek over the miniature golden hawk on her shoulder.

A few years ago, the mysterious hawk of the State of Huaxia was very famous. Goldie’s fame is even bigger than its master.

They arrive at a meeting room after getting off the closed elevator. Certainly, it is not the mountainside here, but Lin Luoran does not know how many meters deep underground. It looks more science-fictional than UMBRELLA Corp in the movie Resident Evil.

There are a lot of people waiting in the meeting room. Lin Luoran only knows Master Guo and a two stars general. She used to hear the general’s name in the news broadcast and thought he resigned from a leading post. In fact, he is here to manage the base?

The youngest here is Lin Luoran. As for Lu Sanchun? He is not qualified to attend the meeting and can only stand guard outside the door after bringing Lin Luoran there…

“Miss Lin, can I call you that?” The two stars general hesitates. He seems to know the story of Lin Luoran.

Lin Luoran nods, “General Zhang still looks so hale after these years.”

General Zhang smiles and stands casually. His back is straight, “have we met before?”

Lin Luoran nods, pretending to be serious, “in the news broadcast.”

General Zhang laughs, looking softer. Master Guo waves to her “come and see this.”

There are many white-haired old men sitting in the meeting room. Lin Luoran looks carefully and finds two familiar academicians. She doesn’t know the rest but thinks they ought to be professionals.

The Heart of Druid is placed in a clear liquid. An old researcher lifts the lid and a translucent shadow of the Heart of Druid appears.

Everyone here may have seen it more than once, but most of them are still obsessed with the scene. The designs are more attractive than fine wine. It is the incomparable enthusiasm of scientists.

Lin Luoran can understand. She is at the same state when she is refining bolus or planting magic circles——the word “faith” is very ethereal, but sometimes is the impetus of human to strengthen their own power and promote the power of civilization.

“This thing, according to our preliminary research, should be similar to a computer hard disk, whose main function is to store…” General Zhang concludes after showing the pictures.

Master Guo shakes his head, “It also has the function of translating, but the range should not exceed five meters around.”

General Zhang nods, “it’s nearly a wise brain… Maybe it once contained the real AI but has been destroyed. Miss Lin, this meeting today has two aims. Firstly, we want to thank you for trusting in our country and not hiding this thing. Secondly, there is good news——according to the analysis of our top scientists, the science and technology recorded here will not be 500 years ahead of the current level.”

Five hundred years? It’s not as good as she thought. Lin Luoran is not very thrilled. General Zhang seems to understand her confusion, “do you think five hundred years of advancement is not that impressive? In fact, for our current situation, to obtain more than a thousand years of advanced technology is of no use. However, just like a three-year-old child who has not been systematically studied and cannot understand college physics, the seemingly insignificant hundreds of years are very useful for learning instead.”

Lin Luoran is suddenly enlightened, “you mean… just because it’s not that far from the technology on the earth, we can actually use it?”

General Zhang happily nods, “that’s right. But we have not yet deciphered the language of this civilization, or it would have been more useful.”

Lin Luoran thinks and has inspiration.

She can still refine bolus and plant magic circles even if she doesn’t completely understand the principle. If it is really necessary, maybe there is no need to understand the theory. What if there have been previous formulas like the alchemy?

“Yulee.”

“What?” General Zhang stares at her keenly.

“The name of this civilization is——Yulee.” Lin Luoran points to the same two characters in each picture and says with great certainty.

Zhang and Master Guo laugh. Inviting Lin Luoran to attend the meeting is a right decision. The light wall changes to the last text. These irregular characters should rely on Lin Luoran to decipher.
