Starting My Treasure Hunting In England - Chapter 976
c976 extraordinary
Because this bunker was built during the Cold War, some things obviously look a bit old, but it was obviously renovated on a large scale after the Golden Dawn acquired this underground bunker.
Therefore, after using the key card and password to open the door outside, the door will open automatically, instead of the state that required manual operation during the Cold War.
This is an underground bunker that can be used by a total of 200 people for three months. The entire underground building looks old, and many decorations are obviously outdated. However, there is not much dust on the ground, so someone should be taking care of it regularly.
As for the various electrical equipment inside, it was obvious that they had been replaced. For example, LED lights were used instead of incandescent lamps or fluorescent lamps. When walking through a door, Liang En found that the equipment inside had also become modern.
“Although electronic tube equipment can reduce the harm caused by nuclear explosions, those things are really inconvenient to use now.” Because the Golden Dawn has similar bunkers in other places, Nelson still knows something about it.
“So Golden Dawn internally chose to replace most of the equipment with modern equipment, but we also prepared corresponding military equipment as a backup.”
While Nelson was explaining, everyone passed through a complicated corridor. From the wind in the corridor, we could feel that this underground bunker was always in operation, but everything in the room could be seen from a few open doors. Covered.
After all, the number of people in the Golden Dawn is not that large, and it is impossible to fill this bunker with people like during the Cold War, so it can only maintain this minimum level of maintenance.
In other words, except for water and electricity, all the remaining rooms here are usually closed, but if necessary, all rooms will be restored to a usable state within a few days.
Soon they reached the deepest part of the room, and then President Charles, who was leading the way, pressed a combination disk again, but it was different from the combination disk outside. This was a purely mechanical combination lock.
This should also be one of the defensive measures. After all, both pure electronic locks and pure mechanical locks are prone to problems. Only this kind of password lock that contains both settings is convenient for normal use.
After the code lock was opened, Liang En and the three of them walked into this room under the leadership of President Charles. Judging from the remaining writing on the wall, this should be the past conference room.
It’s just that now almost everything in the room has been cleared away, and there is even nothing there now. It was not until President Charles moved a few mechanisms somewhere that a small safe fixed on a table rose from the ground. .
“This is the magical item we have.” After the platform rose from the ground, President Charles stepped forward and started to open the safe, and said to Liang En and the others at the same time.
“Because of the existence of this item, we have always believed that there is extraordinary power in this world, but we have never been able to find it.”
As he finished speaking, the safe was opened and a box inside that looked like it was made of pure gold was revealed. When the lid of the box was opened, Liang En found a palm-sized silver cup inside.
“This is what we found, a silver cup.” President Charles carefully took out the silver cup and held it in his hand, and then said.
“Although this cup looks inconspicuous, it has two functions. One is to keep the liquid inside at around 35°C, and the other is to vibrate slightly when it encounters other similar items.”
After hearing President Charles say this, Liang En immediately understood what was going on. It was obvious that this cup should also be something brought by those extraterrestrial visitors.
As for why it vibrates when encountering other similar objects, it is also very simple. After all, the earth is a place where there is no extraordinary power, so even a little bit of extraordinary power in this extraordinary desert may cause enough resonance.
Especially in an extraordinary environment like the earth, all extraordinary items will continue to lose their extraordinary power to the surroundings, so it is naturally easy to resonate.
Of course, this method is not omnipotent. For example, when faced with items whose extraordinary power has been exhausted, such as the previous silver plate, it will not be able to respond accordingly.
But then again, in this world where extraordinary power does not exist, extraordinary items that have lost all stored power are actually no different from ordinary items, so it is not surprising that they are not regarded as extraordinary items.
As a person who has acquired the inheritance of an alchemist, I understood many things the moment I saw this cup, the most important of which was to understand the upper limit of the world’s ability to withstand extraordinary power.
Unless there is a being like Liang who can find another way, the extraordinary environment of the earth will only reduce the power of those extraordinary people, and even accelerate the disappearance of any extraordinary elements.
What President Charles said later was consistent with this conjecture, because according to President Charles, he had seen extraordinary items from the Scottish Branch of Freemasonry and the Rose Cross, and found that they were similar.
In other words, the things left behind are just daily necessities. As for those truly important extraordinary items, they have long been destroyed in time due to environmental reasons.
This news also made Liang En feel relieved. It meant that he didn’t have to worry about someone suddenly coming over and killing him with a magic scroll.
Because according to his current observations, powerful magic props such as magic scrolls cannot be stored for more than a month in an environment like the earth, unless they can find the corresponding storage equipment.
It’s just that from an alchemical perspective, those preservation magic devices are more complicated to make than those magic props, so the possibility of wandering into this world is almost non-existent.
What’s more important is that not all people in this world have much extraordinary knowledge, so the possibility of finding such a thing and being equally easy to use in the right place is almost zero.
This can also be seen in the types of items preserved by the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry and the Rose Cross: those items they possess are commonly used items.
Among them, the Scottish Branch of Freemasonry owns two items, a comb made of unknown animal bones, which can produce an effect similar to an ion perm after combing the hair, and the other is a top that can float in the air.
The Rosicrucians own a silver knife. Although this knife is indeed made of silver, it has the toughness and hardness of steel.
But no matter what, these things are very ordinary daily necessities or daily tools, but they are indeed extraordinary items, so they are regarded as treasures by various organizations.
This can also prove why the cohesion of these organizations is so strong, because this world may be different from the world before Liang En. There are indeed sporadic extraordinary items, and people who see the items will naturally believe in the extraordinary.
