It turns out that Shen Xiaochuan had once seen a pattern that was extremely similar to the one before him in his previous life.

Perhaps it was fate, but at this moment, when he touched these patterns again, he inexplicably and successfully activated part of the device's functions.

Immediately afterwards, a clear image appeared in mid-air as if in a dream, showing in detail the specific uses of this special energy source.

Based on the information presented in this video, this mysterious energy source appears to be an ancient photographic stone.

Everyone stared at the video, their faces filled with shock.

Shen Xiaochuan stared wide-eyed at what was in front of him, his mouth agape, but he couldn't utter a single word.

He could hardly believe what he was seeing; his heart was filled with astonishment and confusion.

"How is this possible... Why would something like this appear in this era? Wasn't it said that nothing could become sentient after the founding of the People's Republic of China? Why is this kind of object, which only exists in myths and legends, now standing right in front of me?"

Shen Xiaochuan murmured to himself, his voice trembling slightly.

After a long while, he seemed to suddenly come to his senses and pointed at the thing, saying loudly, "This... isn't this the kind of exaggerated prop that only appears on TV—a photo-recording stone?" His words were filled with disbelief.

Just then, Commander Xiao noticed Shen Xiaochuan's reaction and asked, "Comrade Shen Xiaochuan, it seems you know something about this? Could you tell us about it?"

Upon hearing Commander Xiao's question, Shen Xiaochuan was taken aback at first, and then realized that he had unknowingly blurted out his true feelings.

He quickly stood up straight, saluted, and replied, "Reporting, Commander! Actually, this thing is exactly the same as the description I saw in an ancient book when I was a child."

As far as I know, these are the kind of photographic stones used in ancient times to record scenes, much like cameras are today.

As Shen Xiaochuan finished speaking, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Suddenly, a light flashed in the previously calm air, followed by a scene that slowly emerged.

The scene clearly shows a group of men and women chatting and laughing, some with swords, some with knives, and some empty-handed—all sorts of people.

Upon reaching an open space, they made a hand seal, and instantly various props appeared beneath their feet. They rode these props, flying back and forth in the air.

"What on earth is that? How could this happen? People can actually fly!"

Commander Wu stared wide-eyed, muttering to himself in disbelief.

He stared blankly at the sky, as if endless mysteries awaited his unraveling there.

Meanwhile, the images in the sky continued to play.

At first glance, it doesn't seem to have anything particularly special about it; it's just a group of people flying freely in the sky like birds.

They flew all the way to a bustling place that resembled a marketplace, and then they all descended from the sky.

Then, something unexpected happened—a gigantic centipede suddenly appeared behind the town! This centipede was incredibly large, like a moving hill.

The intense battle that followed between the group and the giant centipede was truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring!

These people are not only able to soar freely in the air, but they can also sometimes soar into the clouds and sometimes delve deep into the earth, demonstrating extraordinary abilities.

Just as everyone worked together to successfully kill the terrifying giant centipede, the video abruptly ended.

At the same time, the recording stone that had been shimmering with a strange light turned into a pile of fine powder in an instant, as if the mysterious power it carried had dissipated completely with the end of the image.

"How could this happen? How could a perfectly good stone turn into a pile of powder in the blink of an eye?"

Commander Wu snapped out of his daze as if waking from a dream, but the scene before him plunged him into deep confusion once again.

Commander Xiao, who was standing to the side, could not hide his excitement. He turned to Shen Xiaochuan and asked eagerly, "Shen Xiaochuan, didn't you just say that this stone is called the 'Record Stone'?"

"What exactly are the records about it? Do you still have the book you read back then?"

Faced with Commander Xiao's rapid-fire questions, Shen Xiaochuan shook his head helplessly and replied, "That book no longer exists."

"As you know, during the turbulent years ago, many precious books were not spared and were completely destroyed early on."

Shen Xiaochuan spoke with a serious expression, but his heart was already in turmoil.

He pondered to himself: Why would the image-recording stones used by cultivators in novels and TV dramas appear here now? What secrets does this mysterious item hold?

Just then, an anxious shout came from inside the tent. A nurse rushed out of the tent.

He shouted, "Commander Xiao, Commander Wu, something terrible has happened! The wounded soldiers we just rescued are in very serious condition, especially two of them who are bleeding uncontrollably! We must get them to the hospital immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Commander Xiao's expression changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "Quickly! Arrange vehicles immediately and get them to the hospital for treatment as quickly as possible! Not a single second can be wasted!"

Having said that, Shen Xiaochuan didn't have time to think about the recording stone anymore and hurriedly followed the nurse back to the tent.

Upon entering the tent, he was stunned by the sight before him—two wounded men were lying on makeshift hospital beds, blood gushing from their wounds and staining large patches of white gauze red.

The medical staff responsible for bandaging the wound looked anxious and helpless. They had obviously tried all sorts of conventional methods, but they still couldn't stop the gushing blood.

Seeing this, Shen Xiaochuan quickly rummaged through the small bag he was carrying.

Before long, he took out two medicine bottles, one labeled "Wound Healing Medicine" and the other labeled "Hemostatic Medicine".

As he handed the medicine to the nurse beside him, he explained, "This is a hemostatic medicine and wound medicine that my sister made for me herself. It contains special ingredients that have anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects."

"The situation is critical right now. Let me try to treat their wounds with these medicines."

As he spoke, he stared intently at the shocking wounds of the two injured men, silently praying that the medication would work wonders. Otherwise, at this rate of bleeding, the two men would likely die from excessive blood loss before even reaching the hospital.
