I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 332: The magical power of the "past" astrology
Inside the underground ice house.

Sebastian wrapped himself in his sleeping bag and exhaled a breath of hot air.

The team of psychics he belongs to is affiliated with the Knights of the Golden Oak, which is Delint's psychic organization.

Sebastian turned his head slightly and looked at a dark red stone ball placed in the center of the team members.

The stone ball is about the size of an adult's fist and is placed on a metal base.

Sometimes this thing would rise slowly, and when it reached a height of several centimeters, the bottom would completely break away from the base, and then it would slowly fall back down.

This cycle repeats itself over and over again, and it looks quite magical.

And every time the stone ball rose, Sebastian felt a warmth spread throughout his body.

When the stone ball falls, the warmth will disappear.

This thing is called - Flint.

Ever since Canglan Star came to the primordial world, the primordial laws have continued to influence this world, and more and more mutated minerals have appeared on Canglan Star.

Flint is one of them.

De Linde was the first country to discover flint.

The flint mine that produces flint is actually a mutated gypsum mine, whose main component is calcium sulfate.

Flint has an interesting property: it absorbs heat and releases it slowly.

The Delint people once conducted an experiment and found that a piece of 99% pure flint weighing one kilogram could absorb a maximum of heat energy equivalent to more than 8 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

As long as the flint is ignited, it will slowly release heat to the surroundings in a wave-like manner.

The Delints were ecstatic at the discovery.

Because the energy storage capacity of Flint far exceeds the super crystal battery invented by Dongfang Daxia.

In comparison, one kilogram of supercrystalline battery can only store 5 kilowatt-hours of electricity.

The Delint people were ecstatic about the discovery and declared: "Flint is the greatest discovery of this century and the ultimate weapon to end the cold wave disaster."

The Delints also claimed that "the 'warm gold' discovered by the pioneering alliance led by the Eastern Daxia in the Black Sand Sea of ​​Death is also not as good as flint in terms of heating."

The so-called "warm gold" is a kind of gold isotope brought back by the Pioneering Alliance when it first publicly entered the Black Sand Sea of ​​Death.

Warm gold can convert electrical energy into thermal energy, and then radiate the heat evenly to form a thermal field.

The Delint people believed that warm gold needed to be mined from the extremely dangerous primordial world, and that flint was easier to obtain.

Moreover, warm gold cannot store energy, which is an inherent shortcoming.

During the time when De Lint discovered the first flint mine, the media throughout the Western Hemisphere was crazy about flint.

The Jamenian Federation and the Southern Cross Alliance also saw a great opportunity to suppress Eastern Daxia.

The people of Delint even thought they were going to make a fortune.

The company that holds the rights to the first flint mine saw its share price soar 100-fold in just three days.

Unfortunately, the wind soon reversed.

First of all.

The Daxia Institute of Supernatural Powers announced the results of a study.

The paper clearly states: “Flint is not as wonderful as the Delints boasted, it has a serious flaw – attenuation.

“Simply put, every time it absorbs heat and then releases it, a cycle of endothermic and exothermic heat release, the heat storage capacity of the flint decreases a little.

“After about 120 cycles, the heat storage capacity will drop sharply, and the amount of heat that can be stored in one kilogram of flint will be reduced to about 2 kWh.

"This happens because the calcium isotopes in flint are not stable.

"With each cycle, a portion of the calcium isotope decays rapidly."

This is a fatal flaw.

This alone sentenced Flint to death.

Because the lifespan of flint is so short, it can only be used as a consumable for heating.

The paper also points out: "Flint can only store heat, and its heat can only be used for heating, and cannot be converted into other forms of energy such as kinetic energy and electrical energy. Its application scenario is very limited.

"Ultraperiod batteries are different. The electricity they store can be used for lighting, as well as to drive various electrical appliances and new energy vehicles. They have a wide range of applications.

“From the perspective of application, Flint cannot be compared with supercrystalline cells at all.”

The paper also concluded: "The special resources on Blue Planet are limited, and both the quantity and quality are far inferior to those in the original world.

“We hereby call on the Blue People not to rest on their laurels and to have the courage to explore the original world.

"Experience from other civilized worlds tells us that a civilization that dares not step into the primordial world will definitely have no future."

This is undoubtedly a subtle mockery of the Delint people, who do not even have the courage to explore the original world.

After the paper was published, the share price of Flint Mining Company began to plummet, and as of yesterday it had fallen by an astonishing 80%.

Not only was he cut in half, but he was also cut at the ankle.

Although the people of Delint tried their best to defend themselves and strongly criticized the paper for being too one-sided, they were unable to reverse the downward trend of the stock price.

Second.

A maternity and child hospital in Daxia announced another discovery.

The thermal field formed by the warm gold radiation can not only provide warmth, but also has a miraculous effect in promoting wound healing.

The trial showed that the healing time of caesarean section wounds was reduced by two days when wearing warm gold.

Experts at the hospital also believe that if you wear warm gold for a long time, it can improve the body's immunity to a certain extent and even extend your life to a small extent.

This study was a direct slap in the face to the Delint people.

The people of Delint felt that Nuan Jin could not be compared with Flint, but it turned out that Flint was not even worthy of carrying Nuan Jin's shoes.

How can a stone heater compare to a good thing that can prolong life?

What a joke!

The market gave positive feedback directly through actions.

The share price of Kaituo Alliance rose by 22 summer yuan in just one day.

This is not a small number.

This is sufficient to prove that the market fully recognizes the findings of medical institutions and the value of warm gold.

At this moment.

Sebastian withdrew his gaze from the flint and cursed softly: "Fxxk!"

He used all his savings to buy stocks of the Flint Mining Company and boldly took a ten-fold leverage. As a result, he lost everything he had and was left with a huge debt.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a person with super powers, the creditor would have taken away his house long ago.

So every time Sebastian saw Flint, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Damn Flint!
Give me back my money!

A bearded companion sitting next to him heard the curse, turned around and said with a smile: "Hey, let the past be the past!"

Sebastian gave the bearded man a middle finger: "If you lost all your money, would you be able to survive?"

The bearded man laughed and said, "I never buy stocks. How could I be like you?"

Sebastian raised two middle fingers: "Fxxk U!"

The bearded man didn't feel offended: "You should fuck Dongfang Daxia. If they hadn't developed the super crystal battery and found warm gold in the original world, you would be a millionaire now."

Sebastian agreed: "F**k all the Daxia people!"

He added: "I wish that a devastating super disaster will break out in Daxia!"

To be honest, this logic of "don't blame yourself for doing poorly, but blame others for performing too well" is really confusing.

But the white race had been leading the world for hundreds of years, and it was psychologically difficult for them to accept that the Daxia people were suddenly ahead of the Western Hemisphere.

Whether it is Sebastian or the bearded man, they all have the same mentality.

at this time.

Wolfgang, the leader of the team, whispered, "The wind will decrease in three hours. The team will continue the exploration at that time. You'd better take a rest now."

The bearded man replied, "I understand," then closed his eyes and began to doze off.

Sebastian nodded but said nothing.

After an unknown amount of time, he fell into a light sleep and dreamed of something.

He and a few of his friends climbed over a wall into a yard, where they were chased by a big, strong dog.

He ran as fast as he could, leaving all his friends behind.

He could hear screams coming from behind him, apparently one of his friends had been bitten by a dog.

But he did not look back, nor did he go back to help his friends. Instead, he quickly climbed over the wall and escaped.

And then.

Sebastian woke up with a start.

He thought of the dream and felt strange: "Why did I have such a dream?"

He thought about it again and muttered to himself: "This seems to have happened during my school days."

However, since it had been a while, Sebastian's impression was not very deep.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

Sebastian heard another hurried voice: "Captain, I don't think something is right."

This is not the voice in the dream.

But the real voice around you.

Sebastian suddenly woke up.

He opened his eyes and immediately saw the captain asking nervously, "Baker, did you sense something?"

The young psychic known as "Baker" had his eyes wide open with deep fear, and sweat dripping from his forehead. Sebastian's heart sank as he watched.

Because he knew that Baker's awakened psychic ability gave him a certain ability to predict danger.

Thanks to Baker, the team avoided a lot of danger along the way.

The captain shook Baker's shoulder vigorously and shouted, "What's going on?"

Baker came back to his senses and stammered, "A lot of ice corpses surrounded us... I even saw an ice... ice corpse king!"

The so-called "Ice Corpse King" is a special kind of ice corpse.

Due to unknown reasons, the two ice corpses merged into one and became a conjoined ice corpse.

This kind of ice corpse is terrifyingly powerful, and its combat power is no less than that of 5 or 6 elite psychics combined, so it is called the "Ice Corpse King".

The captain's face changed drastically: "How much do you mean by 'a lot'?"

Baker's face turned pale. "At least 50 of them. They have surrounded us."

Sebastian's face turned pale and his arms began to tremble slightly.

The captain also felt a deep fear: "How could this happen?"

Ice zombies are almost all solitary wolves, and it is rare to see multiple ice zombies gathered together.

They had never heard of a group of more than 50 ice zombies like this one.

Baker took a few quick breaths and asked, "Captain, what should we do now?"

The captain gritted his teeth and said, "We can only fight our way out."

He immediately ordered, "Baker, lead us in a less dangerous direction, and we'll rush out together."

The captain acted very responsible and added: "I am the strongest, I will lead the charge, and the others will follow me."

Everyone responded in unison: "Understood!"

The captain then ordered: "Everyone, get ready. We will break out in one minute."

Everyone immediately began to prepare.

Sebastian felt his heart beating wildly and suddenly thought of the dream he had just had.

A thought popped up in his mind: "Is the dream hinting at something? Aren't the ice corpses like fierce dogs? Aren't teammates like partners?"

An idea grew like weeds and took root in Sebastian's mind: "In the dream, I left my partner behind, climbed over the wall and successfully got rid of the fierce dog. Could this be a hint of a way to escape?"

Logically speaking, this is indeed a very feasible approach.

If he leaves the others behind and runs away, the other seven teammates will become a bigger target, and the group of ice zombies will definitely focus on the larger target, so his chances of escape will be greatly increased.

Sebastian really couldn't get rid of the temptation to survive: "Should I find a chance to escape?"

Although he owed a lot of money, he didn't want to die at all.

He wanted to go back alive, enjoy the delicious food, beautiful scenery and beautiful women.

One minute later.

"boom!"

The ice door of the underground ice house was blown apart by a punch.

The captain rushed out first, followed by the others.

"Hey! Hiss!"

Strange roars continued to come from all around.

White shadows quickly shuttled through the ice, like a pack of wolves hunting.

Subsequently.

A great war broke out.

On the surface, the team was surrounded and seemed likely to be wiped out at any time.

In fact, this is not the case, because so many ice corpses cannot pounce on you at the same time, and there is not enough space for them to attack.

The entire team's formation was quite tight, and they did not face many ice corpses at the same time.

If there were more strong people in the team, they could have broken out of the siege. It's a pity that only the captain can be considered a strong person in the team.

Another ten seconds passed.

The captain suddenly heard a "pop" sound behind him. He tilted his head slightly and took a look out of the corner of his eye, and a look of disbelief immediately flashed across his pupils.

He was shocked to see that his team member Sebastian used his signature charge technique and rushed into the distance like a cannonball.

obviously.

Sebastian abandons everyone and runs away.

The captain's distraction had disastrous consequences.

Two ice corpses swept past from below, each extending a blade-like claw and slashing the captain's legs fiercely.

"Ah~"

A shrill scream.

The Ice Corpse King seized this opportunity and attacked for the first time.

The captain was dragged into the ice layer by the Ice Corpse King.

the other side.

When Sebastian was in mid-air, he heard a scream behind him and subconsciously looked back.

He happened to witness the captain being dragged under the ice.

Sebastian turned his head and looked forward, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that without the captain's strong support, the possibility of others surviving was very low.

In other words, his act of abandoning his teammates and running away directly killed everyone.

One second later.

"boom!"

Sebastian's feet were back on the ice.

He was now out of the encirclement of the ice corpses, and it was obvious that his escape plan was successful.

"Woo~"

A strong wind came.

Sebastian suddenly sobered up.

Because he suddenly remembered that he had never experienced being chased by a fierce dog and leaving his companions behind to run away when he was a student.

Sebastian was confused: "Did I confuse the things in the dream and think they were things that happened in reality?"

He didn't understand.

But the danger was still behind, and Sebastian could only run for his life.

"Ah~"

Another scream floated through the night.

This means another teammate has been killed.

Sebastian felt as if his heart was being tightly squeezed, and he could hardly breathe.

He uttered an "Ah" in pain: "What have I done?"

He has recalled that from childhood to adulthood, he has been seen as an upright and kind person by people around him.

After becoming a superpower, he has been fighting hard and saved many people.

It was for this reason that the Knights of the Golden Oak chose him to join this expedition team.

It was also because of this that the captain was so shocked when he suddenly saw him abandoning his teammates and running for his life.

*
More than ten kilometers away.

Yang Fan observed Sebastian, who looked in pain, from a distance and smiled with satisfaction: "The move evolved by the 'Past' astrology is indeed quite interesting."

Sebastian's act of abandoning his teammates and running away was naturally something he did secretly.

The birth of the mammoth cub caused the "past" constellations to evolve and gain many unique abilities.

With the help of the power of the "past" astrology, Yang Fan locked Sebastian of the past in the long river of time and weaved a false memory for him.

The present Sebastian dreams about his past self and takes the false memory as the real one.

This person's soul was affected, so he abandoned his teammates and ran away at the critical moment, leading to the collapse of the psychic team.

The most interesting thing is that Sebastian thought that everything was just the influence of a dream and did not think that he had been tricked.

It has to be said that the "past" affects the "present", which is a rather magical power.

now.

Yang Fan glanced from a distance and happened to see the seventh member of the Delint Psychic Team being bitten in the neck by an ice corpse.

This means that except for Sebastian, all the psychics in this team are dead.

Yang Fan fixed his eyes on the distraught Sebastian and whispered, "We can proceed with the next test to confirm whether the transformation of the dog-skin plaster into a monster is really related to the power of the ancient gods."

In fact, there is a simple way to confirm whether it is the power of the ancient gods that is at work.

That is - look directly at the hand of the ancient god again.

But doing so is too damn dangerous. Even with the power of the world protecting you, there is no guarantee of absolute safety.

So Yang Fan had to take a detour and use the Delint people as experimental subjects.

Anyway, in his eyes, it would be better if all those people who are hostile to Daxia were killed.

Yang Fan took a deep breath and once again activated the power of the "past" astrology.

A faint starlight lit up in his mind.
