Backlund underground ▇▇▇ meters

Dungeon ▇▇▇

With a friendly kick from Klein, Leonard and his chair fell to the ground.

Once the butt moves away, the effect is turned off, and the clever IQ takes over the high ground again.

"...Wow, Klein, can't you be a little more gentle?" Leonard got up and brushed off the dust on his body.

"I kicked you and my legs hurt!"

The kick just now almost made Klein, who was still dizzy, stumble and fall to the ground. In the end, he supported himself with the table leg.

Compared to you sleepless ones, with our fortune tellers' leg strength, any kick we make is considered gentle!

"So, how did you get to sit on this chair?" Klein asked.

"what……"

Leonard recalled.

"I was exploring around here, and I happened to hear your voice telling me not to move, so I thought I might as well look around and find a place to sit. Then I found this chair. I thought the chair was a little strange because it looked so well preserved, so I wanted to go up and take a look. As soon as I walked around it, I suddenly sat on it involuntarily...

“You know what happens next.

"As soon as I sat down, I felt a lot of questions pop up in my mind, and I immediately fell into an endless cycle of thinking and logic. I had no ability to think about other things until I was forced to leave the chair...Looking at it now, those thoughts were too...stupid."

In other words, this chair is an extraordinary object, which will make anyone who approaches it want to sit on it. Those who have already sat on it will immediately fall into deep thought, with a series of idiotic thoughts filling their heads, making it impossible to think normally, until an external force forces them to separate from the chair.

However, when Leonard was meditating on the chair just now, when he walked closer to the chair and kicked his legs, he was not affected by the effect of the chair, nor did he have the urge to sit on it. This shows that when someone sits on the chair, it is sealed.

"How far were you from the chair?"

"Uh... about one meter?"

That means the effective range of this chair is about one meter.

...This close, it's really hard to defend against...

Overall, it doesn't sound very practical, and it can't even be used as a weapon because its effective radius is too small. But if you look at it from another angle, this chair is really a great hidden weapon and trap.

Klein tried to get closer to the chair, standing about one meter away, and carefully observed the chair.

This is a plastic chair. The design is too old for the fourteenth century, and even looks dated. However, a century or two ago, this style of white plastic chair was very common, and could be found everywhere in street stalls. Every time Klein saw them in old photos, he would always imagine the plastic chairs of barbecue stalls in the old days.

In the 14th century of the Sixth Epoch, plastic products had become an inseparable part of daily life. But although this material was called "plastic", it was completely different from the plastic that Klein knew in his old days.

Unlike the plastics industry in the old days, which was highly dependent on the petroleum industry, the "plastics" of the Sixth Epoch Information Age are actually a bio-based polymer material, and most monomer raw materials come from certain organisms or some minerals. After hundreds of years of development, the "plastic" products of the Sixth Epoch have a wealth of synthetic routes, and even realized and commercialized the process of collecting monomer raw materials from the air to prepare polymer materials. Today's plastics are also very rich, with a variety of physical properties: degradable, recyclable, high elasticity... The plastics industry has become a very mature industrial industry.

As for the specific production technology and process flow, Klein really didn't understand. Klein University in the Sixth Epoch did not take any elective courses in this area, and his knowledge of chemistry was limited to high school textbooks. Even these industrial knowledge were fragmented knowledge that he searched for when he was a keyboard warrior on the Internet, and they were very general.

However, after recovering his old memories, Klein felt a little emotional. In the old days, people invested unimaginable efforts in the exploration of non-petroleum-based materials. But at least before he "traveled" to the Fifth Epoch, these non-petroleum-based materials could not completely replace traditional petroleum processes due to problems such as process research and development and commercial benefits.

It is estimated that these former chemists never dreamed that the big pie they painted for their researchers would really come true in the Sixth Epoch one day.

Judging from the slow climb of the technology tree over the past 1,300 years, this kind of overtaking is by no means easy. This is largely due to the electrical revolution that has brought about an unrealistic development of technology and energy, and the foundation of the electrical revolution is inseparable from the bizarre and strange second steam revolution. With these two incredible technological revolutions, the technology tree of the Sixth Epoch has been successfully pushed away from the "normal route" of the old era, and a strange crooked tree has been cultivated.

So just like "plastic", in the 14th century of the Sixth Era, many things seem to have similar names as in the old days, but in essence most of them do not use the same technology, but just achieve similar functions.

Unfortunately, tracing back history is not an easy task, and tracing back historical technology is even more difficult. Due to the iteration of technology and the long time, many ancient and unique technical details have disappeared in the torrent of history. The primitive technology of the electrical age can still be restored, and even some old systems from four hundred years ago can be seen in life, while many primitive technologies in the early days of the distant steam age only exist in written records and oral legends. It is difficult for Klein to imagine that people at that time actually used such backward technology to achieve such advanced functions.

Compared to the end of the Fifth Age, the description of the Steam Age in the Sixth Age in historical records was more in line with Klein's imagination of the steampunk world in the old days, while the vaguely tangible Electric Age reminded Klein of several novels with the theme of electropunk.

This development model, which is very different from the old times, may also be related to the extraordinary disasters that occurred one after another in the Sixth Period. The Sixth Period began with the "Doomsday Disaster", a disaster that almost destroyed human civilization. It not only brought endless chaos and pain to the survivors, but also brought a large number of mutated organisms. After mutation, discovery, selection and cultivation, humans have "industrial crops" that lay the foundation for modern industry.

Unlike the old days, "cash crops" in the Sixth Century specifically refer to crops involved in light industry, while "industrial crops" specifically refer to crops involved in heavy industry production such as energy, chemicals, and materials. For example, the "oil beans" widely planted in Feynaport and capable of producing various "fuels" are a typical "industrial crop".

As the birthplace of the electrical revolution, Loen still uses electricity as its main energy source, so Klein knows very little about oil beans and the technology involved. To some self-righteous old gentlemen, the smoke-emitting, roaring fuel engine is simply a crude tool.

Of course, the source of "fuel" is not just "oil beans", and heavy industry is not only supported by "industrial crops". With advanced technology, the industrial development of the entire society has been guaranteed in multiple ways.

The development of the society in the Sixth Period was very difficult, but it finally managed to find a glimmer of hope amid mutations and destruction, and crawled forward slowly and stubbornly.

Klein still had a lot of "fuel" in the lighter in his hand. He liked this Fenepot-made fuel lighter, whose transparent body clearly displayed the remaining fuel. Unlike Rune's electric spark lighter, you could only observe the change in the color of the test paper through a small window to judge the remaining power - yes, the cheap one that cost one pound didn't even bother to install an indicator screen for you.

He was just about to light a lantern and add another candle to it when suddenly a strong light shone on the chair in front of him, illuminating every detail of the chair.

"So you brought a flashlight!"

"I'm a regular detective, so it makes sense for me to carry a police mini flashlight!" Leonard said innocently, "And you didn't ask me!"

"Then why were you sitting there in the dark?"

"Sitting still in the dark and lighting yourself with a flashlight, wouldn't that make you a sitting duck? What if there's an enemy nearby?"

How can you think of these things when you are mentally retarded!

Your detective skills have become instinctive, right? It's a conditioned reflex, right?

Although they were speechless, the two of them still squatted down to carefully examine the ground. As they were looking, Klein suddenly turned the lantern upside down and used the lantern pole and the broken table leg to hook a tattered notice board from the side of the chair.
