Chapter 32 Picking up trash


    In the end, Duanmuhuai decided to pretend that he had never seen this expertise before and that he knew nothing about it—well, as long as people didn’t know, they wouldn’t have so many troubles.


    ? So after putting down his worries, Duanmu Huai began to rummage around in the ruins to see if he could find anything useful.


    For players of Duanmuhuai''s level, it can be said that they are extremely familiar with the ruins of the ancient sage. After a brief exploration, Duanmuhuai was able to determine that this ruins should have been the management department of an ancient saint - to put it bluntly, it was like a government agency.


    But...that''s it!


    Although according to general logic, places like secret bases and military research institutes can obtain more advanced technology. But the players are smart, and the Ancient Sages are not fools. They must be afraid that Chaos will discover their secrets, right? Therefore, when they first evacuated, the Ancient Sage also destroyed all the confidential information and devices. Unless you''re lucky, if you go to a place like this, you won''t be able to find anything good even if you dig through it.


    But it’s different in places like government agencies.


    ??Although they definitely don’t have any secret weapons or blueprint technologies of the Ancient Sage, what the government agencies have must be stable, universal technological products that can be mass-produced. Moreover, this kind of place is generally more likely to retain the complete technological creations of various ancient saints.


    ?This is like an alien attack in a city. If the government cannot escape, it will definitely destroy the confidential weapons in the research institute and military base as soon as possible.


    ??But who will take care of the things of the police station or the grain bureau and other units...


    To the Ancient Sage, these things may be innocuous, and it would not be a pity to throw them away, but for future generations, even a claw machine made by the Ancient Sage Technology is very sophisticated, right?


    ?In the player rankings, in the technology tree of the Ancient Saint system, energy, biological transformation, space navigation and shields are all T0-level ceiling technology trees. After all, the Ancient Sages have been fighting Chaos for so long, and their technology trees are basically full of Chaos resistance. And to be honest, the Ancient Saint''s biological modification technology is even more top-notch - as long as you see that the species on this planet, including high elves, dwarves, lizards, ogres, and human goblins, are all created by the Ancient Saint, you can get You know how great they are at this.


    On the other hand, the Ancient Sage is not top-notch in terms of attack firepower, well, that’s normal. If the attack power of the Ancient Saint''s weapons was really at the ceiling level, then they wouldn''t be running away from Chaos, but chasing Chaos and beating him up.


    ??What Duanmuhuai wants most right now is the core energy technology of the Ancient Sage.


    ?Of course, he will definitely not be able to obtain the most top-notch technology. Just like nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and nuclear-powered submarines, the power systems inside cannot be seen anywhere.


    But in this era, let alone nuclear power, there is not even a steam engine. Duanmuhuai does not expect to have a top-level military secret power system, but at least you have to give me an internal combustion engine or something like that.


    ??Police cars won’t be nuclear powered, so it’s not like they can’t run, right?


    Hard work paid off. After Duanmuhuai’s tireless search, he finally found a fragment that looked like a crushed container among the ruins. Although this thing was no different from a shriveled Coke can after being hit by a boulder, Duanmuhuai still recognized it at a glance. This should be a transportation vehicle once used by the ancient sage!


    It’s you!


    Duanmu Huai''s eyes lit up when he looked at the wreckage buried in the rubble in front of him.


    "Here, let me see... Well, there is no radiation leakage, and the value is within the normal range... very good!" Duanmu Huai glanced at the detected value on the screen of the power armor, and Duanmu Huai clenched his fists excitedly. There is no radiation leakage, which means that the core power system of this transport vehicle is probably still intact!


    It''s just that... most of this transport vehicle is buried in the rubble, which is somewhat troublesome, but fortunately, Duanmu Huai has helpers.


    “Ogis, help me cut up all these stones and transport them away.”


    Duanmu Huai pointed at the gravel covering the transport vehicle and gave the order. Ogis nodded, then stretched out her hand, and soon saw that the huge stones that were as high as two or three stories were cut into small pieces in an instant, and then were entangled with silk threads and pulled aside. Duanmuhuai relied on his power armor to protect his body, so he went directly in and dug up the remaining gravel.


    Then, he quickly found the cockpit of the transport vehicle - it was also in a mess, and there was even a broken bone buried in the loess. It seemed that some unlucky frog man might have Not being able to escape finally led to this ending.


    ?What a tragedy.


    Duanmuhuai observed two seconds of silence, and then got into the cockpit. This was an oval cockpit. There was no steering wheel or joystick in it. It was obvious that the Ancient Sages also had their own driving skills. But Duanmuhuai didn''t care about this. He was like treating an unconscious prey, ruthlessly tearing its coat apart, forcibly separating the opponent''s tightly closed defense line, and then went straight into it...


    “Found it!!”


    ?Feeling the familiar touch in his hand, Duanmu Huai felt happy. Then he hurriedly stabilized his mind and carefully took something out.


    It was a polygonal sphere slightly larger than a basketball. It looked like a transparent glass barrier. A faint light that seemed to be extinguished could be seen inside. At first glance, it looked like a candle in the wind.


    But Duanmuhuai knew that this was just a superficial illusion. Because when Duanmuhuai scanned it, the system had already given the answer.


    【Antimatter energy core (unanalyzed)】


    “Tsk, tsk, tsk, technological archeology is really awesome.”


    Seeing this, Duanmu Huai also sighed. The Imperial Science and Technology Line uses a plasma reactor, which is a nuclear fusion device. But look at the Ancient Sage, a transportation vehicle uses antimatter, and its level is higher than that of the Imperial Science and Technology. I don’t know how high it is... This is almost the same as the gap between a carriage and a spaceship...


    Not only that, the technology of the Ancient Sages is very reassuring - after all, the history of the Ancient Sages has fully proved that in the face of chaos, they can escape even if they cannot defeat it.


    On the contrary, the Empire suffered heavy losses and many casualties every time it faced Chaos, and its technology almost disappeared every time it was attacked. They became more and more advanced the more they fought, but the Empire''s technology became more and more advanced the more it fought... In the end, it didn''t matter. What''s left...


    In any case, with the [antimatter energy core], Duanmuhuai is equivalent to opening the energy technology tree of the ancient sage. Considering the ancient sage''s tradition of not being afraid of life and death, and cultivating both magic and physics, this wave can be regarded as a gain without losing money. Got it!
