People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

Chapter 72 The Law of Conservation of Energy

"Although the group of monsters attacking the city have been dispersed, they are scattered around Mondstadt, which is also a big trouble!" Shen Qin watched helplessly as Rosalia eliminated a hillock thug neatly.

Their first destination was the Seven Heavens Statue on the small island in the center of Starfall Lake. If they flew at full speed on the flying skateboard, it wouldn't take long to arrive. But they encountered a lot of clusters of monsters along the way. For the safety of the area around Mondstadt, they cleaned up these troubles.

Albedo motioned to him to rest assured: "Captain Qin will definitely take these matters into consideration, but the Knights are short of manpower right now and cannot spare anyone to deal with it."

"Hehe! Big bad guys, look at Klee's bomb!"

Klee was having a blast at this time. If it were any other time, she wouldn't be able to throw bombs in the wild so recklessly, but now was a special period, and clearing out monsters was also the job of the Spark Knight.

Sucrose stared at Klee closely, afraid that her bomb would accidentally ignite the trees and cause a forest fire. If she caused any more trouble at this moment, she would definitely be confined for a week.

"By the way, apart from energy, are there any other technical difficulties with the city's protective shield?" Albedo asked Shen Qin.

"My idea is to continue using the design concept of the energy shield, using a combination of ground energy and energy converters. However, the upper limit of the energy that the new magic crystal synthetic material can withstand is already difficult to increase, and expanding the shield range will inevitably increase its load. Therefore, it is necessary to disperse multiple smaller shield generators in Mondstadt to achieve the purpose of protecting the entire Mondstadt."

"And the small protective shield will no longer use a single-layer shield design. I plan to reduce the strength of the single-layer shield by five times, but stack it up to ten layers to weaken the intensity of the attack layer by layer. What do you think of doing it this way?" Shen Qin asked Albedo for his opinion.

Albedo thought for a moment and said, "Your idea is to use several small shields to form a pseudo-city shield, but wouldn't the overlapping parts of the shields be completely ineffective? Can we design a structure that limits the generation of the shield within a certain angle, and then form a relatively complete city shield by splicing the shapes?"

Shen Qin's eyes lit up: "It's worth a try!"

Then the two discussed some ideas for implementing the new structure. When they came to their senses, they found themselves at the Seven Days Statue of the Gods at Xingluo Lake.

"Great! It's Xingluo Lake. Klee will catch some fish for you!" Klee happily went to fry the fish.

"Fry fish! Fry fish!" Xiaodu was more direct and told Klee's real purpose with a happy face.

Klee quickly whispered to it, "Shh! Xiaodu, you're talking so loudly. It won't be good if Sister Sugar hears you! She will definitely come to take care of us!"

Xiaodu glanced at Sandu in panic, and saw that she had started to study the statue and didn't pay attention to this side, so he showed a sighed expression.

Shen Qin and Albedo basically rarely care about Klee's "mischief". They both dote on Klee a bit, but Sucrose is a very serious person. When Captain Jean asks her to keep an eye on Klee, she will do it meticulously.

Rosalia glanced at the sneaky Klee, then glanced at the three alchemists who were eager to study the statue, then sat down under a tree, leaned against the trunk and began to take a nap.

Spy on their research? Don't be ridiculous. Didn't the church leaders ask her to come along just to silence some people without affecting their research?

This was a great job for her. She didn't have to attend boring church activities and could slack off during work hours. It would be even better if she could have a bottle of wine.

When studying the Seven Days Statue, Shen Qin, like Sucrose, became Albedo's assistant. He was good at the modified version of alchemy given by the system, rather than the traditional alchemy on Teyvat.

Albedo used his smart bracelet to scan the statue and found that the main material of its main structure was just ordinary stone, and the alloy part on it was also an alloy material that had long been used up. The only thing the bracelet could not analyze was the vein material that transmitted the earth energy inside the statue, and the structure of the huge glowing crystal in the middle.

He then used the Eye of God to drive the elemental force of rock to cover his hands, and placed his palms on the statue to feel the flow of energy within it.

He felt that all kinds of complex energies and information in the air were transmitted to the earth veins through the statue. At the same time, the earth veins replenished Teyvat with seemingly equal amounts of seven elemental energies through the statue, half of which was wind elemental energy.

"The Seven-Day Statue is an energy purification device." He told the two of them his discovery, "The total amount of energy it converts to the earth veins and Teyvat every minute and every second is huge. If we can use this energy, supporting the city's protective shield will not be a problem."

Then he expressed his concerns: "But we can't move it into Mondstadt, and after those anchor points are opened, whether they can extract the energy of the earth veins is still a question."

Sugar raised her hand weakly: "Well, I want to ask a question. If we divert these purified elemental energies, will it destroy the energy balance of this area?"

"Good question." Shen Qin said with a smile. He thought of a very famous physical law in his previous life. "The total amount of energy is actually constant. It will not appear or disappear out of thin air. It will only be transformed from one form to another. We transfer elemental energy to the shield. After the shield resists the attack, the energy will be released again in a different form, returning to its natural state, and then it will be absorbed into the earth veins by the Seven-Day Statue."

"I call this law the law of conservation of energy."

Albedo's eyes lit up: "The law of conservation of energy, what a great inference! If it is true, then many of my previous doubts about alchemy can be easily solved!"

"And it also explains why the Seven Days Statue absorbs and exhales equal amounts of energy!" Sucrose said excitedly as she thought of Albedo's discovery.

Shen Qin was just about to speak when suddenly a dull explosion was heard, followed by the exclamation of a human girl.

The three of them and Rosalia, who had opened her eyes, immediately stepped on their flying skateboards and rushed to the place where the noise came from. Then they saw a panicked Klee and a drowning blonde girl on the lakeshore.

Rosalia skimmed across the water and scooped the blonde girl to shore.

"Cough, cough!" The girl knelt on the grass and coughed out the water that had poured into her lungs uncomfortably.

After seeing the girl's appearance and clothes clearly, Shen Qin raised his eyebrows, looked around, and rescued Paimeng, who was floating on his back on the lake, back to the shore.

It seems that it is my younger sister who is embarking on this journey.

"I, I..." Seeing Shen Qin and the others, Keli intertwined her fingers, lowered her head, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

Xiaodu also floated beside her with his ears twitched.

Chapter 73: We were both bombed in Tianya

Klee won't run, so put her lesson aside for now.

Shen Qin stretched out his finger and poked Paimeng's bulging belly. Her eyelashes trembled, and she woke up immediately and vomited all the water she had just drunk.

Then she immediately flew in front of Klee and said angrily: "How can you be like this, kid? I just waved at you and said hello, and you wanted to blow me up with a bomb!"

"Klee didn't see clearly and thought you were a fish. I'm sorry..." Klee said while sobbing.

Paimon's eyes widened: "How do I look like a fish? Look, I have two hands and two feet, and fish don't have hands and feet, so how can you think I'm a fish!"

"But I've never seen someone so small that can fly." Kelly tried to argue.

"Ah!!! You're going to piss me off!" Paimon stamped his feet. "Even if I'm a fish, no, I'm not a fish! Even if you didn't see clearly what I am, you can't just blow me up with a bomb. What if I hurt other innocent people?"

"Also, why would a child like you have something as dangerous as a bomb?"

"This was made by Klee herself!" The little girl was quite proud.

"I wasn't praising you!" Paimon got even angrier. "What's even worse is that your parents couldn't let you play with a bomb. They were so careless! Not only did you almost injure Ying and me, but what if you accidentally got hurt? What irresponsible adults!"

Shen Qin, Abedo, Sugar: "..."

At this time Ying also recovered. As soon as she stood up, a pale-faced nun pointed a spear at her.

"Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing in Mondstadt?" Rosalia asked expressionlessly. No wonder she was so vigilant. During the special period when Mondstadt was hit by a dragon disaster, a stranger appearing in the wild would raise too many doubts.

Paimon also noticed the situation over there, and quickly flew over, waving his hands anxiously at Rosaria: "What are you doing! We are not bad people!"

Rosaria pointed the tip of her gun at Paimon: "And you, strange little floating object, I suspect you are a surveillance device made by someone with ulterior motives to steal Mond's intelligence, right?"

Paimon took a step back in fear, but after hearing her words, he immediately said dissatisfiedly: "I am not some strange little floating object! I am certainly not a surveillance device! I am Paimon!"

Ying pulled Paimon behind him and explained, "We are just travelers heading to Mondstadt. We have no ill intentions. We were almost injured by your people just now."

Rosalia was about to say something when she was interrupted by Shen Qin: "Rosalia, don't be so nervous. Listen to what they say first."

Seeing that cold nun put away her spear, Ying heaved a sigh of relief. Her sword had just fallen into the lake, and if they started fighting, she would be at a huge disadvantage. Moreover, the people in front of her were obviously in the same group. Except for the black-haired boy, everyone else had the Eye of God. It was obviously unwise to make enemies with them.

It’s just that the black-haired boy without the Divine Eye seemed to have a very high status. The man and woman beside him had been protecting him secretly, and the nun also respected his opinions very much.

She gathered her words and told them about her and Paimon's journey together.

Just now she was fishing by the lake, and Paimon flew to the surface of the lake to drive the fish towards her. At this time, Paimon saw Klee flying in the sky and greeted her happily, but Klee mistook Paimon for a big white fish and immediately threw a bomb down.

The shock wave of the explosion blew Paimon into the water, and Ying was also startled by the explosion and slipped and fell into the lake.

"So it's all her fault. She made me drink so much water!" Paimon looked at Klee angrily.

"Klee, when you return to Mondstadt, go explain the situation to Captain Jean yourself." Sucrose said seriously, holding Klee's ear.

"Sister Shatang, can you please not tell Captain Qin..." Keli looked at Shatang with tears in her eyes, and when she saw her expressionless face, she looked at Shen Qin pitifully.

Shen Qin shook his head and gave her a helpless look.

After introducing each other, Sucrose brought Klee to Ying and Paimon to apologize to them, and Shen Qin also said that he would give them each a small gift as an apology.

"No need for gifts, but you have to keep a good eye on little Klee in the future. If she acts recklessly, it's easy for her to hurt others..." Paimon said generously.

Shen Qin thought to himself: What a coincidence, I was also blown up by her before. Then he took out some snacks prepared for Keli from Haro's stomach and handed them over.

"These are snacks I've never eaten before!" Paimon's eyes lit up.

Shen Qin looked at her with a smile: "I will pay for all your snacks in Mondstadt from now on. How about using this as a gift?"

"Okay, okay!" Paimon agreed immediately, not noticing that Ying, who was standing beside him, was folding her arms with a gloomy face.

"We have to go back to Mondstadt soon. If you don't mind, we will take you to Mondstadt after we finish our work." Shen Qin asked Ying for her opinion.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'll make Paimon something to eat."

The three alchemists continued to study the Seven Days Statue. They planned to record some data here and then compare it with the data of the Seven Days Statue near Fengqidi and Qingquan Town.

Ying watched with envy as they flew to the small island in the center of the lake on their flying skateboards.

During her travels, she had seen many adventurers using this flying tool. Unfortunately, outside of Mondstadt, the prices of flying skateboards were very high and she simply could not afford them.

Rosalia stood aside, watching them blatantly. Paimon secretly made a face at her, but she pretended not to see it.

Klee and Xiaodu were kept by Sugar, and Adie was asked to watch them and prevent them from running around.

About half an hour later, all the data was collected. When leaving, Shen Qin suddenly remembered that in the game, the twins mastered the elemental power after touching the Seven Days Statue, so he said to Sugar: "Bring Miss Ying here, I have something I want to confirm."

Sugar was a little surprised, but didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded and flew over on his skateboard.

"What did you find?" Albedo asked puzzledly.

"Don't you think there's something strange about her aura?"

Albedo recalled the scene when he first met her, and said uncertainly: "It is a little strange. She seems to have gathered a lot of power, but she does not have the Eye of God."

That's right. She is related to the abyss, the starry sky, the earth veins, Kanriya and everything. Even Shen Qin doesn't know what other secrets she has. After all, when he traveled through time, the game map had only opened to Xumi.

Sugar brought them back quickly, but as soon as they arrived near the statue, the statue automatically emitted a faint light, which contrasted with the light on Ying's body.

Chapter 74: Purification

"This, this is!" Sugar covered her mouth in surprise.

Except for Shen Qin, everyone else was also surprised. Those who possessed the Eye of God could feel the strong power of the wind element in Ying, but she did not have the Eye of God.

Ying looked down at her hands: "I feel like I can control the wind element..."

A breeze blew up around her, and finally gathered into a ball of wind element energy in the palm of her hand.

"Even without the Eye of God, you can still get the favor of the God of Wind... Miss Ying, can you tell us your true origins?" Albedo looked at her with interest.

Interesting experimental subject.

"I..." Ying let the wind ball in her hand dissipate, looked at the more vigilant Rosaria, the surprised Klee and Sucrose, the somewhat strange look in Albedo's eyes, and Shen Qin who had no emotion fluctuations, and slowly told her origins.

"I don't belong to this world. I used to drift between different worlds with my brother 'Sora', but when we were about to leave this world and go to the next world, an accident happened. A strange god blocked our way and took Sora away. I was sealed and only woke up not long ago, so I embarked on a journey to find my brother."

"And me, and me. I was rescued from the water by Ying two months ago. To repay her for saving my life, I have been traveling with her and acting as her travel guide!"

"So I'm traveling to find my relatives..." Sugar murmured.

Albedo held his chin in his hand and thought: "So she doesn't belong to this world, but why can she still drive the elemental force without the Eye of God? Is this her original power? Or is there another hidden story behind it..."

"So you came to Mond to confirm whether the god who stopped you at the beginning was the God of Wind, one of the Seven Gods?" Rosalia asked.

Paimon nodded: "Yes, even if the Wind God is not that strange god, perhaps we can get some information about the strange god from him."

Rosaria: "Then you will be disappointed. Even we Monds don't know where the wind god Bartobas is now."

Behind a tree by the lake, Wendy leaned against the trunk and listened to the sounds the wind brought him.

"It's Barbatos, Miss Rosalia. Even if you have freedom of religion, you still have to remember people's names." He sighed.

"But it seems like there's one more interesting person... huh?" His eyes suddenly turned sharply in another direction, "What is this aura?"

Shen Qin and the others were now ready to return to the city. Since Ying didn't have a flying skateboard, they had to let her stand on Shatang's skateboard. Fortunately, both girls were petite and had no trouble standing on the skateboard together.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Sugar."

"No, it's okay, Miss Ying."

Listening to the two people being polite to each other, Shen Qin on the side wanted to laugh.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the teleportation anchor point and was about to mention it to Ying, but before he could say anything, a strong wind pressure came, and a huge shadow was cast on the ground. Tevarin flapped his wings and flew over and landed in the forest not far away.

No one noticed a light blue light flowing behind it, which then fell into the woods.

"It's the Dragon of the East Wind!" Everyone became very alert.

How did it appear here?

In order to avoid being discovered, they immediately landed on the ground and began to discuss countermeasures.
