After Lin Xu and the other two came out, they went back to look for the ruins again, only to find that the entrance to the ruins began to rumble and shake.
Then the entire ruins began to sink rapidly towards the ground.
When the ruins were completely hidden underground, the entire building simply disappeared.
The original locations of the ruins were all transformed into ordinary blocks, and the vast spaces that the ruins occupied inside disappeared as if they had been swallowed up.
Lin Xu had heard of this situation before, but seeing it for the first time still shocked him.
The dark ruins of the island world may involve forces far more advanced than imagined, perhaps even some kind of top-tier power.
Only with this level of power can the development of the Dark Ruins maintain relative fairness.
After all, the patterns of the appearance of dark ruins are difficult to discern, and the various technologies and knowledge contained within them are quite valuable.
Therefore, the nobles did not particularly suppress the news, and even spread some basic methods for developing the ruins.
Only with such an open attitude can humanity make full use of the dark ruins, allowing some technologies and resources to be passed down and not be missed.
However, to maintain such a relatively fair set of rules, the laws governing the Dark Ruins need not be known to the nobles, allowing commoners to also have the opportunity to access the ruins.
Otherwise, given the greed of those nobles, they would surely monopolize all the dark ruins and would never allow commoners to access such high-level power.
Then the ruins disappeared, and in front of Lin Xu were some items, all rewards obtained from inside the ruins.
Lin Xu didn't examine the items immediately. Instead, he casually put them into his personal storage space and then said to Xiao Yu:
“Let’s attach this loose soil to the island as well. I’ll stack these blocks up. Once that’s done, let’s go back to that coordinate and hunt down that knight.”
Lin Xu had not forgotten his plan to eliminate Wang En and his group.
He has now wasted most of the day, giving Wang En and the others almost a full day and night to prepare.
If the delay continues, those people might send away a lot of supplies.
Xiaoyu nodded and began to do as Lin Xu asked.
After a busy period, Lin Xu and his group returned to the island's houses.
The island had successfully occupied the loose soil, and then Lin Xu processed and layered it to create a new territory.
These blocks were mostly of types that Lin Xu already owned. He categorized and stacked them according to their differences, thus slightly expanding his territory.
But besides these blocks, Lin Xu also discovered a new common type of block: sand blocks.
This type of block is actually quite common, but Lin Xu had never obtained it before.
If a sand block is placed next to an ocean block, they can form a new ecosystem.
Some marine creatures are able to emerge from the ocean and come to the beach to live and reproduce.
With the addition of sand blocks, sea turtles and more types of crabs began to appear in the ocean.
In particular, a very large king crab has appeared.
This is a pretty good ingredient, and if it were cultivated with the Spring of Life, it could become a top-tier ingredient.
Lin Xu specially chose a king crab, fed it a lot of life spring water, and planned to eat it for his next meal.
Besides cultivating life, sand blocks actually have another use.
In the island world, there are some gamified rules. For example, sand can be processed and then directly burned into glass, just like in many games.
Moreover, the higher the purity of the sand, the better the quality of the glass.
Leaving aside the role of basic glass, some high-end weapons, such as laser beam towers and high-precision rockets, all require high-quality glass to manufacture.
Now that there is sand on the island, as long as we continue to add layers, we can likely obtain sand resources indefinitely and improve the quality of the sand.
At that time, we will be able to produce high-purity glass, adding another material production line.
Lin Xu was quite satisfied with these sand blocks. He stacked five of them, each reaching a layer of 30, and placed them on the edge of the ocean blocks.
After clearing away the loose soil, Lin Xu finally had time to examine the items he had obtained from the ruins.
Just as rumored, special technologies can indeed be obtained from the ruins, as well as materials and skill inheritance, which are relatively common rewards found in the ruins.
Now Lin Xu has obtained this series of things:
[The Legacy of the Northern Wind Sword Technique]
The manufacturing process and working principle of stun guns
[Refined Altar Blueprint]
There are three kinds of books in total.
There was also a compass, some metal and biological materials, of decent quality, but not particularly valuable.
These are all the rewards obtained from the ruins.
Although the rewards may not seem like much, they are actually quite generous for beginners.
According to rumors, beginner-level ruins usually only yield materials, with technology and legacy items only occasionally appearing.
But Lin Xu actually obtained three books at once, which contained inheritance, technology, and even manufacturing blueprints. This luck was already quite extraordinary.
Of course, this incredible luck was mostly related to Lin Xu killing the mother whale beast.
Ordinary island lords are no match for those monsters, so naturally they have no chance of obtaining such high-end ruins as rewards.
Of the three books Lin Xu obtained, the swordsmanship book was the so-called skill inheritance book. As long as he studied it, he could quickly acquire a set of corresponding knowledge and skills, just like the skills that Tao Yao and Xiao Yu possessed, which could be used as instinctively.
As for the book about stun guns, it's about some kind of cutting-edge technology.
This stun gun is not the kind of firearm used to subdue ordinary people like the one Lin Xu was used in his previous life. Instead, it is a firearm that concentrates energy, generates lightning, and can actually unleash thunder to strike people.
Lin Xu glanced at the technology described in the book and made a rough estimate of the power of the so-called stun gun.
If this firearm were fully manufactured, its range would be at least 3 kilometers, and its power would be sufficient to shatter and melt a 1-meter-thick steel wall.
This thing is definitely a killer weapon. If it can be made, it could most likely directly replace rotary machine guns and machine guns.
The third book records a special building.
This building is called an altar, but it actually contains advanced technology; it's a facility for rapidly melting down items.
For example, this facility can be used to smelt ores into corresponding metal ores, manufacture alloys, or burn sand into glass.
This thing is a super furnace, with a maximum temperature of at least 6,000 degrees Celsius, which is the temperature of the surface of the sun in my previous life.
Moreover, this machine has many sophisticated operating methods, which can be used to prepare material ratios and smelting methods.
If an industrial tycoon from his past life were to see this altar, he would definitely be overjoyed. He might even be willing to give up his entire fortune just to obtain the blueprints for this thing.
