Dorothy was very conflicted as she thought about this. Inventing the internal combustion engine was her long-planned plan to make money. Now, if she really invented it, she might be watched by the gods. For a moment, Dorothy didn't know what to do. She frowned and leaned back in her chair, thinking silently.
"Huh... I feel like a time traveler like me with a system should not attract the attention of gods before I become powerful enough. I don't know which powerful god will be attracted after the invention of the internal combustion engine... Even if I know, I can't interpret the attitudes and thoughts of those gods. What if they have a negative attitude, then wouldn't I be courting my own destruction? So it's better to be safe..."
Finally, after thinking for a long time, Dorothy finally made a choice. She decided to temporarily give up the invention of the internal combustion engine. The main reason was that she was not clear about the attitude of the gods towards her. It would be extremely risky to invite the gods' vision without authorization. If the other party had malicious intentions towards her, she might be completely unable to resist. Dorothy would not rashly do such a risky thing with her personality.
Therefore, after repeated consideration, Dorothy slowed down her invention plan a little, which made her very depressed.
"Damn... I thought I could take off financially with this wave... but now it seems that's all gone..."
Dorothy threw the pen in her hand and thought deeply in her heart. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh... Never mind. Let's not think too much about it now. Before we figure out the attitude of the gods, let's put the invention aside. I'm tired of staying in the library now, let's go to the town and have a cup of coffee."
Dorothy thought so, and then looked at Nefernis sitting opposite her.
"Hey, Neveu-senpai, stop looking and let's go rest together... ok?"
Dorothy was about to ask Nefernes to go for coffee together, but when she raised her head, she couldn't help but frowned slightly. The reason was that Nefernes was in a strange state at this time.
Across Dorothy's desk, Neveu was staring blankly at a drawing in her hand. Dorothy recognized it as the design drawing of her own internal combustion engine parts.
Nephnis took the blueprint and stared at every line, shape and number on it with an abnormal level of concentration. After staring at one blueprint with wide eyes, she immediately picked up another one and started reading it.
Seeing Nefernis like this, Dorothy was startled. She knew what was going on. Nefernis was now poisoned!
"Neveu was poisoned by the internal combustion engine design drawings I saw?!"
As soon as this absurd idea came out, Dorothy was shocked. It took her several seconds to react, and then she immediately began to stop Nefernis's actions. She stepped forward and directly snatched the blueprint from Nefernis's hand.
“Stop looking!”
"Give it to me... give it to me... Miss Dorothea, please give it to me... I want to continue to witness... the heart of steel... the power of iron and fire..."
Nefernis was mumbling incoherently, and trying to snatch the blueprint back from Dorothy. Dorothy knew that this was a sign of drug addiction.
Faced with this situation, Dorothy immediately cleared Nephthys's poison through her last prayer. After the poison was cleared, Nephthys, who was originally trying to snatch the blueprint from Dorothy, was startled. After being stunned for a few seconds, her eyes became clear.
"Hey...what's wrong with me?"
After regaining consciousness, Nefernis touched her forehead, shook her head and spoke, while Dorothy in front of her answered silently.
"You looked at my blueprint, and there was a poison on it... You didn't pray while you looked at it like you did before, so you got poisoned. I just prayed to Aka and asked Him to remove the poison from you."
"Eh... is that so? So... Miss Dorothea was designing a machine related to the occult? So the blueprints include poison identification... I'm so sorry, I've never heard that mechanical knowledge would include poison identification, so I thought the knowledge on these blueprints was mundane knowledge without poison identification, so I didn't remember to pray when I was reading, and I was fascinated by poison identification..."
Touching her head, Nephnis was quite embarrassed to speak, and Dorothy's face was serious as she listened to her words.
"Ah... I didn't expect that this kind of knowledge... would include the ability to identify poisons..."
Dorothy thought silently in her heart. She had never expected that when she invented the internal combustion engine in an attempt to start the second industrial revolution, it would not only be the invention itself that would be watched by the gods, but the drawings of the internal combustion engine would also carry poison identification. To this world, the technology of the internal combustion engine... was actually secret knowledge...
The current situation once again overturned Dorothy's thoughts. She had already made a judgment before that the dividing line between secrets and secular knowledge was whether it contained poison.
In the past, the knowledge that Dorothy encountered that could identify drugs was all some lost history, weird studies, religious rituals, and so on. In Dorothy's eyes, mechanics, mechanics, mathematics, and other sciences had always belonged to the category of mundane knowledge. In her previous life, she had come into contact with knowledge about and even real objects related to internal combustion engines, so she easily thought that a scientific product like the internal combustion engine should belong to the "mundane" category.
However, the current situation tells Dorothy that the truth in this world is far from being so simple, and the difference between the mundane and the secret world may not be what she thinks.
This world has gods, and this world is built on spirituality. The essence of this world is completely different from the world of my previous life...
Dorothy thought silently, and then began to try to extract the knowledge about the internal combustion engine that she had invented from her mind. As a result, she extracted 4 points of "stone" and 3 points of "start".
The internal combustion engine blueprint designed by Dorothy...seems to be considered a secret in the field of "Stone".
