Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 294 - : Stapler Number

Chapter 294: Stapler Number

The Earth was too big at the moment. Although the five continents had expanded a lot, they were not as big as the whole Earth. Because the ocean had expanded more, the five continents were like five large spots on a ball. They only occupied about one-fifth of the surface of the Earth. If the area between the five continents was removed, they would be even smaller.

Apart from the five continents, all the other places occupied vast seas. There might be land on the back of the five continents, but who knew? After all, no one had been there.

Wei Huo observed the black-haired young man closely. He might have been in a submarine all year round, unable to see the sun, which was why his skin was fairer than an ordinary Asian person’s. However, his eyes were sharp and he kept looking into the distance. It seemed like he could only see distant mountains and seas. His eyes were filled with endless desire for knowledge, as if exploring the unknown was his only pursuit.

Wei Huo was curious. Who was this person? He was someone who had reached the Legendary stage. Although he was at the early stage of the Legendary stage, he was not a Legendary creature created by the system. Such human experts were rare.

Lu Qiqi sent a voice transmission to Wei Huo. “If one reaches the Legendary stage before the time halt, one will be immune to the time halt.”

Legendary creatures could already destroy the Thinking Lock by themselves, so they would definitely not be affected by the time halt. In that case, could the person in front of him be a Legendary creature?

Wei Huo said, “You haven’t told me about your background. Who are you? What’s your name? Where did you come from?”

The black-haired young man waved his hand, and the sound of metal rubbing against metal came from the submarine. Then, a metal plate on the platform was moved away and a hole was opened in the submarine.

The black-haired young man said, “My name is Xiao Liang. This s.h.i.+p is mine. I call it Stapler. You can follow me into the s.h.i.+p. I believe that you will soon understand my background and know what kind of person I am. Words are useless. Only facts can explain the truth.”

Since the black-haired young man had mentioned the stapler, there was no doubt that this person was not an ancient person from thousands of years ago. However, why was he so powerful? Had he not been halted by time?

Xiao Liang had already approached the gap. Wei Huo followed him and realized that a spiral staircase led into the depths of the s.h.i.+p. Lightning was flickering on the s.h.i.+p, illuminating the interior.

If an ordinary person saw this, they might feel terrified. There were electric currents everywhere on the walls. If one accidentally touched them, one would probably be burned to ashes by the visible electric arcs.

Xiao Liang led a few people into the submarine. Apart from Wei Huo, Lu Qiqi, the golden armor, and the Prime Minister Black Dragon, there were also the eight children of the Prime Minister Black Dragon. The eight children took human form and followed them with respectful expressions. Before these Legendary creatures, no matter what their original personalities were, they did not dare act rashly.

Boom! At that moment, the iron plate above their heads closed.

The golden armor looked around with interest and asked, “Could this be the electric transmission technology that Tesla was imagining?”

Xiao Liang was a little surprised. “You know Tesla? It seems like you’re from the same generation as me. I’ve been underwater for a long time. I didn’t even know that day had come. If I hadn’t accidentally found this fake Sea G.o.d, I wouldn’t have chased you here.”

The golden armor said humbly, “I’m really not from the same generation as you. I heard the name Tesla from some humans. I admire him a lot. If he had not discovered this electromagnetic phenomenon and formula…”

Xiao Liang was confused.

He said, “Wasn’t electromagnetic induction discovered by Faraday?”

The golden armor was confused. “Who is Faraday?”

Wei Huo, who was the only one who knew the truth, was speechless.

Xiao Liang smiled and said, “That doesn’t matter. However, this is not Tesla’s radio transmission technology. This is a combination of technology and runes. Using runes to transmit electricity is stabler than copper wires. It’s more effective. The consumption rate is also close to zero.”

The golden armor was curious. It was very interested in science and technology. Thus, it asked, “Will there be a leak? I think your s.h.i.+p is made of steel. Will the electricity not leak into the sea?”

Xiao Liang said, “How could it leak? Do you think I’m that dumb enough to build a leaking battery underwater?”

The golden armor scratched its head. “I just want to figure out what’s going on. Tell me first, how did this electricity come about? Is it magic-created electricity? Dao-created electricity? Or rune-created electricity?”

Xiao Liang said, “Electricity is everywhere. Wouldn’t it be too luxurious to use magic or the Dao to create electricity? I use sodium batteries, which are inexhaustible underwater.”

The golden armor immediately said, “That’s not right. According to the principle of energy conservation, the electricity obtained by manufacturing sodium batteries is not enough to break down the sodium chloride in the sea.”

Xiao Liang shook his head. “I didn’t say that the electricity obtained from the sodium batteries could break down the sodium chloride. This is a magical rune s.h.i.+p. The core of this s.h.i.+p is a magical rune core. As long as you use the soul gems of other creatures as fuel, you can break down the sodium chloride and make sodium batteries. Electricity is a very clean, stable, and continuous energy source.”

By that point, Xiao Liang had already led the few of them to the bottom of the spiral staircase. Then, they arrived at a corridor that was flickering with lightning. Xiao Liang led the few of them forward. After taking a few steps, they saw a steel door.

When the door opened, they did not see the steel room that Wei Huo and the others had imagined. Instead, they entered a luxurious restaurant. A wooden table was in the middle of the restaurant, and all the cutlery was made of silver. The ceiling above their heads was glowing with beautiful lighting, and electric arcs were falling from the surrounding walls.

Electric light illuminated the room. It was a combination of technology and traditional Chinese culture.

There was a wooden floor on the ground, and there were carvings of cranes, paG.o.das, and pine trees on the walls.

Wei Huo saw that the dining table was filled with sumptuous dishes. However, most of them contained seafood. There were many that they did not recognize, and there were also some underwater plants. They had never seen these plants before, but they could recognize some fish and prawns. They were also very familiar with these cooking methods. The dishes were boiled, fried, and steamed.

They included boiled fish, pickled fish, steamed fish, and braised fish.

The few of them sat down and picked up their chopsticks. Only the golden armor was a little confused. It did not have a mouth after all.

The golden armor was speechless.

F*ck, how can I eat without a mouth?

The table was filled with good food. Just looking at it made one feel hungry. Unfortunately, the golden armor did not have a mouth.

Wei Huo had a few mouthfuls and the familiar taste lingered in his mouth. Even the dragons had never eaten such delicious food before, but they could not let themselves eat freely on their host’s s.h.i.+p. Besides, these Legendary creatures had only touched their chopsticks once.
