Chapter 796: 252. Old Friends in a Foreign Land_3
Roymin once again stumbled over the lack of a corresponding word in the Ulnas Circle language.
She scratched her short hair on her head, looked at the gramophone, and said with some frustration:
“I think you guys are very strange, very strange. You’ve already invented the gramophone, but you don’t know the existence of that kind of wave. This doesn’t make sense.”
Noland Lee looked at the gramophone, recalled Roymin’s words, and roughly understood the “wave” that the other party wanted to say.
It was most likely infrasound, a type of acoustic wave with a frequency below 20 Hz.
Infrasound decays slowly and is less absorbed by water and air, making it suitable for dealing with underwater sea monsters.
Noland Lee searched his mind for vocabulary from his native world and unexpectedly found the term “infrasound” in the Tatis language.
“Akmeri…” Noland Lee mentioned the word “infrasound” in Tatis language:
“You should mean Akmeri, right? It’s a kind of sound wave with a frequency of less than 20 times per second.”
Roymin widened her eyes, looking at Noland Lee:
“Yes, that’s what I meant. How come I don’t know the word Akmeri? Isn’t this the language of the Ulnas Circle?”
Selena next to them turned her head curiously to look at Noland Lee.
Noland Lee explained to her:
“This is a term in Tatis Empire language, translated directly into Ulnas Circle language as ‘slow vibrating sound wave’.”
Noland Lee turned to Roymin:
“I believe what you said. In fact, after your reminder, I thought about some previous knowledge I had learned. Thank you very much. If I can provide you with resources and space, can you create the light column device and sound wave device you just mentioned?”
“Should… be no problem. But I still need to test the seawater environment first,” Roymin said.
Noland Lee asked:
“So, what kind of reward do you want? A more spacious prison cell, or more abundant food?”
Roymin clenched her hands and lowered her head, saying:
“I… I want a prison cell where I can see the sky, which will make me feel more free. The current environment is too oppressive.”
Noland Lee examined her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Due to Roymin being a synthetic human, Noland Lee cannot use Deconstruction to directly obtain her memory fragments.
Based solely on the panel information they had, Roymin did not have an interstellar communicator, and her power core was a cold fusion reactor with very low output power.
With these two points, the possibility of her secretly initiating communication with the extraterrestrial void after moving into a prison cell with a view of the sky was very low.
But no matter how low, it was never 0%.
Noland Lee didn’t forget the matter of “consciousness uploading.”
From the obtained Deconstruction Results, the female synthetic human in front of him was similar to those previously responsible for exploration, all of them having the feature of “Synthetic Human Reincarnation.”
…
[Name]Synthetic Human Reincarnation
[Type]Technical Clone Technology for Synthetic Humans
[Effect]
Upon a synthetic human’s “death,” their main control chip will attempt to transmit the data in the “Audio-Visual Data Storage Module” back to the synthetic human’s data server – “Mind Array.”
New synthetic human bodies will be put into use by the Metal Creation Group.
New synthetic human bodies will inherit the audio-visual data of the previous synthetic human body to achieve seamless connection at the level of consciousness as much as possible.
[Explanation]
Due to unknown factors, audiovisual data may not be transmitted back to the “Mind Array”.
…
Although the Panel Information indicated that the data “may not be transmitted back,” Noland Lee still remained cautious.
He always kept a close watch on Loymin before him.
“We will consider your proposal,” Noland looked at the clock on the gramophone, with 15 minutes left.
Noland didn’t rush off and instead used the remaining time to chat with Loymin about the technical side of things.
Admittedly, his identity as a native of the Tatis Empire served as an excellent cover for Noland at the moment.
He could confidently display his knowledge of technology and attribute it to his life and study in the Tatis Empire.
As a former history assistant teacher at Bowerthain City College, it would make sense for him to have heard about other subjects through school gossip.
As the two chatted, Loymin gradually became excited.
She was as excited as meeting a fellow villager in a foreign kingdom filled with strangers, even going as far as to complain in front of the gramophone:
“A learned gentleman, I am more than willing to communicate with you, as you are much easier to talk to than other wizards. I have to find the right words to explain my thoughts to them clearly.
“If I didn’t know you were a wizard, I would think we come from the same place.
“I remember you mentioning the Tatis Empire earlier. Where is this kingdom?
“From your words, I discovered that the Tatis Empire is a kingdom that has done a lot of research on Vamings – it’s amazing that there is such a place in the world of wizards… ”
The term “Vamings” mentioned by Loymin is a transliteration of the word “science” from Tatis language into Ulnas Circle language. (Science will be used to represent different contexts in subsequent texts.)
How to put it.
Noland and Loymin were two people from different worlds and cultural systems. They shared a mutual understanding and affinity due to their similar views in the field of science.
So much so that Noland pondered whether he should devise a way to get Loymin out of prison to create powerful devices specifically for him in the field of science.
In that case, Noland could steadily obtain energy molding plans through Deconstruction Technique.
Upon further thought, Noland suddenly realized that Loymin was a treasure to him.
From their previous conversations, Loymin mentioned life and work scenes within the Metal Creation Group.
It was indeed an extraterrestrial void force built on the foundation of “electrical energy.”
All things required the use of electricity.
This was completely in line with Noland’s idea of using an Elemental Energy Reactor to drive various energy molding magical creations.
In a way, if Noland were to create a Sub-Dimensional Plane in the future, Loymin would be the perfect candidate for an engineer role.
Unfortunately, Loymin was deemed a Sin Wizard Level criminal, and the Wizard Enforcement Department did not provide her with the legal procedures to atone for her sins with money.
Noland could not use gold coins to get her out of the prison cell.
Moreover, considering the presence of a sinister Metal Ancestor Dragon lurking behind the Metal Creation Group, Noland’s caution about Loymin outweighed his expectations.
“Wait patiently for the news, Loymin. My companions and I will seriously discuss your proposal when we return.”
Noland and Selena stood up and left the Illusion Body just as the countdown on the clock was about to end.
Loymin stared blankly at the rapidly fading illusion body.
With a clang, the stone brick gate slid open.
Activated armor from outside the door entered the Surveillance Chamber, forcibly pulled Loymin from her seat, and dragged her back to the prison cell.
Throughout the entire process, Loymin’s gaze remained fixed on the spot where Noland’s Illusion Body had disappeared, like she was staring at a beam of light in the darkness, or perhaps examining a potential prey.
