Chapter 34: Nuclear heat era

　　　　 Ai Luo didn't care about Noelle's adventures along the way. What actually attracted him was what Noelle found in the ruins.
　　 For the past four years, Noelle, as the second-ranked member of the Tokamak faction, enjoys the treatment second only to Aiello, precisely because of this.
　　 "Nuclear energy... If it weren't for what I have seen and heard in the past few years, I am afraid I would never believe in such a wonderful energy."
　　 Found the somewhat unfamiliar word in the memory, Ai Luo lightly sighed.
　　 "Lord Lord actually already owns it," Yinlong Mage humbly smiled, "I just help you to better control it."
　　 This time, Ai Luo did not speak, but stared at the opaque black metal scaly armor that covered his whole body in a daze.
　　 If four years ago, he still had some doubts that he might be a mutated black dragon, then Ai Luo completely abandoned this conjecture today-he should be a dragon that has never appeared in this world!
Not to mention the countless strands of gold that are embedded in the radially centered surface of the scale armor and are thinner than the hair. It is the mysterious ability to wither all things, and that just physical contact can make the dragon fall into it. The ability to die in desperation... all shows that Ai Luo is extraordinary.
　　 More importantly, the records Noelle found in the ruins seem to confirm this fact to some extent.
　　 Ai Luo has a hunch, the clues to his true life are probably in those records!
　　 In fact, it's not just Ai Luo, Noelle is also in a trance at the moment.
　　 If it were not for the strong will to tell him that everything was real, then this silver dragon might really think that he was in a daydream.
When he first found those records, he had never thought that he could go so far away from magic. However, four years later, he obtained a stable research environment, and he understood the hidden things in those records more and more deeply. , The knowledge from the last era.
　　 In the long evolution process since the birth of the Elohim world, the common people have experienced a total of four epochs before and after everything: the ignorance era, the founding era, the hidden era, and the current glorious era.
　　 There were no gods in this world at the beginning. It was not until the Supreme God came and created the gods that the era of ignorance ended. The gods led their families to open the era of wisdom. Therefore, people nowadays regard the founding era as the first era.
　　In the previous two epochs, there have been many advanced civilizations in this world, but unfortunately these civilizations have all been destroyed. Hundreds of millions of years of natural changes have almost erased all traces, and only a few evidences have been preserved.
　　Noele believes that what he has discovered is the remains of such a civilization.
　　 The ruins are buried deep in the ground. It is 1,600 kilometers long from east to west and 1,400 kilometers from north to south. Its coverage is unique in the world.
　　 After a series of tests, Noelle believes that it absolutely belongs to the previous era, but there is no record of it in the very few documents handed down. What is even more strange is that in the excavation of city buildings, no temples and palaces can be found. This is different from the ancient ruins of the Second Age currently unearthed in the world. It seems that these cities have no rulers at all.
　　 The residential buildings in the ruins further confirm this point: all houses are built of bricks and wood, and they are basically similar in terms of the scale of the layout. It seems that the polarization between the rich and the poor does not appear here, and no work of art is found.
　　 In addition, there are still a lot of remains here, some on the street, more in the room. Noelle found rows of dead people in a relatively large ruin, some of them covered their faces with their hands, as if they were protecting themselves, and they seemed to have seen something scary. To be sure, everyone died suddenly.
　　 There must have been a huge and unusual incident here, what is it?
volcanic eruptions? However, no remaining volcanic craters were found within thousands of kilometers in this area.
　　 The sudden outbreak of epidemics, plagues? But plagues and epidemics cannot suddenly destroy a city.
　　Finally, Noelle can only tentatively believe that the destruction of this ruin and the death of the people are related to the sudden high temperature, because he found traces of high temperature heating in many bones.
　　 In addition, many of the collapsed buildings here also showed signs of high temperature. He even found some "glass buildings" caused by the instantaneous high temperature that melted the surface of the object and then rapidly cooled.
　　 Fortunately, there is magic in the Hidden Era. The deepest part of this ruin is preserved with some information encrypted by magic.
　　 For Noelle, interpreting them is not very difficult. It was just the result of the interpretation that surprised him.
　　 One of the messages records an ancient battle. Although some of the content has been destroyed, Noelle can still recognize that the scene of the war, or one of the weapons recorded in it, is extremely shocking:
"...This weapon emits terrible heat and wind, causing the earth to shake and the river to boil. The enemy soldiers are instantly burned to death, like a scorched tree trunk... The brightness is like ten thousand suns...people and animals are burned to death, and food is contaminated with toxins...
　　 It can be seen that the recorder of the information described this weapon with a very disgusting mood, and it can kill all the samurai wearing golden helmets and armors.
　　 If the samurai knew the power of this weapon in time, they could throw away all the metal equipment on their bodies, jump into the river, and wash their bodies and everything they had touched.
　　 explained in the comment that this is not unreasonable, because this weapon can make hair and nails fall. All living things will become haggard and weak as soon as they encounter this weapon.
　　 There are more than one such alarming records, and in fact Noelle has discovered more detailed and ominous records.
　　 "The force of nature seems to have lost its restraint, and the sun is spinning around. The earth is scorched by the blazing heat of this weapon, and it trembles in the heat."
　　 "The giant beast roared wildly by the fire, running around, trying to avoid this terrible violence."
　　 "The water is boiling, the beasts are killed, and the enemy is annihilated. The angry flame makes the trees fall in rows like a forest fire."
　　 "The wild beasts roared, pierced their hearts, fell to their deaths, corpses all over the field. The horses and chariots were burned to the ground, presenting a tragedy after the fire."
"Thousands of tanks were destroyed, and the sea was dead. The wind started to blow, and the earth was red and shiny. The dead bodies were burned beyond recognition by the terrible heat, incomplete, unlike human beings. We never listened. I have talked about such a weapon. From the outside, these weapons look like a huge iron arrow, making people feel like a huge messenger sent by the of death."
The scene of its explosion has also been mentioned:
There was no smoke at all. The flashing shells were launched like a ball of fire, and something like a thick fog suddenly surrounded the army. The entire horizon disappeared into the darkness. Bringing an unfortunate cyclone. When it is scratched, something like black clouds roars and rises to the sky with a loud noise, making people feel that even the sun does not exist anymore."
　　 "The heat of this weapon heats the earth and the sky~EbookFREE.me~ The beast scorched by the flames, running desperately in fear."
　　 Then, he told about the thousands of chariots, humans and beasts that were burned to ashes due to this terrible weapon explosion. All the soldiers who survived the explosion hurried to the nearby river to wash their clothes and weapons.
Finally, at the end of the record, Noelle, who was deeply shocked, discovered the method of making this weapon. Of course, this method had long been broken and unrecognizable, but Noelle relied on his rich knowledge to piece together Only a few words in it.
　　 What surprised him again is that this method seems to be related to today's alchemy to some extent. And he also further recognized a key substance recorded in it.
　　 Noelle could not find this kind of substance. He even doubted that this kind of substance no longer existed in this era.
　　 When he first said this to Ai Luo, Ai Luo didn't take it seriously. As far as he knew, the Hidden Era seemed to be a taboo agreed by the gods, and most of the things left over from that era were sealed by the gods and their churches.
　　 So the substance mentioned by Noelle, even if it exists, should be classified as top secret, right?
　　 However, an accidental experiment three years ago caused Noelle and Aiello to change their minds.
　　Noelle once heard Ai Luo mentioned his terrifying ability, which seems to coincide with some records in the ruins. So in the name of experiment, he paid a large fortune to extract certain substances from Ailuo scales.
　　 After using his own talent "deconstruction secret method" and a series of sophisticated methods for in-depth comparison, he was shocked to discover that this substance is very similar to the substance recorded in the ruins in many aspects!
　　 People of that era called it "uranium".
