This is the first time He Ao has come into contact with Transcendent Item who has his own "name" in the message.

The other information that Transcendent Item comes with is only the ability and necessary price, and the names were acquired by later generations, but Miracle Wand had its own name as soon as it was born.

He Ao picked up the wand and stood up slowly.

Miracle Wand's ability is very simple, it can release "miracles".

This kind of miracle is somewhat similar to the "magic" that He Ao understands.

Miracle Wand comes with four miracles, three C-level and one B-level.

The three C-level miracles are, "Blazing Flame", "Thunder Flash" and "Vanish Without a Trace".

Blazing Flame can summon a powerful flame at a designated location, while Thunder Flash can trigger thunder at a designated object or location.

Vanish Without a Trace can mask the existence of an object. The masked object will not be seen by anyone other than the owner of Miracle Wand, nor will it be inspected by machines. However, it can only mask up to three items at a time. The masking time depends on the strength and quality of the object, as well as the strength of the observer.

These three C-level miracles can only be used three times every seven days. Each time, you can choose one of the miracles to release. If you use it beyond the limit, you can also use it. Three D-level lives can be used in exchange for one opportunity.

And that B-level miracle is "Mountain Collapse and Tsunami". The wand does not transmit the specific effect of this miracle. It seems to be a miracle that causes large-scale damage. To perform this miracle, you need to sacrifice the lives of at least five C-level beings as materials, whether Exotic Beast or human beings.

Excluding the part that requires sacrificing life to perform miracles, Miracle Wand does not require He Ao to pay any price. It is not like Crystal Ball or Magician's Hat that requires a fixed soul or flesh and blood feeding, nor is it like Butcher Pistol, which needs to meet certain conditions of use before it can be used.

Miracle Wand's "casting" three times a week seems to be free of charge.

But how can there be Gift without price in this world? Regarding value, Miracle Wand only transmitted one sentence, "Those who control miracles will eventually become miracles."

This kind of unexplainable thing makes He Ao afraid to use it indiscriminately.

He Ao put away his wand and looked at the metal object he just got from the mummy.

This is a silver, approximately ten centimeters long, approximately two centimeters thick, and overall spindle-shaped metal object.

In the center of this object, there is a small screen half a finger long and a finger wide. The screen is completely dark at the moment.

He Ao reached out and touched the screen. After the screen flickered for a while, a menu page with multiple icons slowly lit up.

Next, He Ao skillfully found the settings icon from the icons, clicked on it, and changed the language to Second District's language. Then he quit and clicked all the clickable places on the small screen again.

After some exploration, He Ao discovered that this little thing is called "Space-Time Beacon", which can anchor a certain point in time and space, and send the holder of the beacon to that location by some kind of "Traction Machine".

However, the anchoring of space-time points seems to have limitations. However, the machine does not seem to explain these clearly. There should be other materials that describe these in detail.

After He Ao looked at it for a while, he turned on the space-time anchoring function. There are already three recorded space-time points in this function. It seems that space-time points can still be added later. He Ao clicked on the "+" sign at the back.

[Anchor the current space-time point? ]

[Anchoring, please wait...]

[System error, anchoring failed, please contact maintenance personnel. ]

······

It seems that there is something wrong with this thing.

He Ao put away this Space-Time Beacon. He did not find any record of Space-Time Beacon in Copy World's information. Ruins, or the former Original Federation, seemed to have mastered certain technologies that Second District had not mastered.

But if Original Federation had such high-end technology early on, why was it still cut off from the sea by the storm, causing the various regions to lose contact?

He Ao rubbed his eyebrows and put Space-Time Beacon away.

He estimated that "Gravedigger" might have come just for this Space-Time Beacon.

But he didn't know how Dawn knew this information and how he forged the tower commander's authorization.

He Ao paused and removed the chaotic thoughts from his mind. He still had too few clues now.

After clearing his mind, he walked to the bathroom and took a look. After making sure there was nothing else, he finally returned to the door.

His eyes rested on the metal door of the bathroom. This door was extremely thick, thirty to forty centimeters long. It seemed that this bathroom was not only used as a bathroom, but also as a small Safehouse when necessary.

Unfortunately, this Safehouse is not safe either.

He Ao walked out of the bathroom.

He turned on the flashlight and saw this Central Control Room clearly for the first time.

The entire Central Control Room is roughly in the shape of a circle. At the front is a monitor group consisting of a very large monitor and several suspended monitors. In front of this huge monitor group is a row of silver cabinets. There are many buttons on top of the cabinet, which should be some kind of computer console.

Behind the cabinet are seats arranged in a fan shape. These seats are divided into two groups on the left and right. In front of each seat is a table with a monitor close to each other. The aisle between the two groups is very wide. The battle between He Ao and Gravedigger just happened in this aisle. At this moment, the body of Gravedigger is lying in the middle of the aisle.

He Ao Calm down and carefully look for that thing that has always attracted you.

He followed the attraction and passed through the densely packed seats.

Gu Shen

There are very few skeletons in Central Control Room. I don't know if there are only a few people inside, or if they all ran away when the crisis happened.

He Ao finally walked to a closed metal door opposite the bathroom. The attraction for He Ao came from behind the metal door. As he approached this position, he felt the attraction getting stronger.

At the same time, along with this attraction, there is also a sense of terror that makes He Ao's hair tremble, as if there is some kind of frightening monster imprisoned behind this door.

This metal door has a circular turntable similar to a ship's rudder. By some strange coincidence, He Ao reached out and turned the turntable.

The turntable did not rotate, as if it was stuck.

At the same time, a piercing alarm sounded on the turntable, and a red "X" lit up in the center of the turntable, which seemed to mean no passage.

He Ao let go of his hand and took two steps back.

He stared blankly at the turntable in front of him. For just a moment, he lost control of his body. There was an obsession driving him to open the door and get what was inside.

Accompanying that attraction may be fatal danger.

But in this world, benefits are always accompanied by risks. Even if he doesn't go in now, he must first obtain enough information.

He had a hunch that there might be key items for Hyper-memory's later promotion.

He Ao left the turntable, turned on Hyper-memory and observed it carefully. The turntable seemed to be an independent system, and there was no display like the metal door.

He turned off Hyper-memory, walked to the edge of the metal wall, and knocked lightly. What he heard back was a muffled sound, which proved that the metal wall was also very thick.

It seems that it is impossible to break through by violence.

He Ao thought for a moment.

There is no display or separate control system, so there may be records on the main control system.

There may be data or log records about the data about this door, what is behind it, and what is closed inside.

He walked to the row of silver cabinets and looked at the rows of buttons on the cabinets.

The logo used in Ruins is roughly similar to that in Copy World, and He Ao quickly found the power button.

But when he pressed the power button, Main Control Display did not light up, as if it was silent.

At this moment, the metal doors and some displays in the tower are still operating normally, proving that the energy supply system inside the tower can still supply energy normally.

There is power but no light. Could it be that the machine is broken?

······

He Ao thought about it and looked carefully around these cabinets. Judging from the layout of Central Control Room, these cabinets may contain the mainframe of the central computer.

After turning for about half a circle, He Ao found an uneven gap on the edge of the cabinet. He grabbed the gap with his hand and used force, and he pulled down the entire back cover of the cabinet.

Exposing the dense electronic components inside.

He Ao opened the back covers of all cabinets and began to observe these parts carefully.

He actually has a basic understanding of these electronic devices. Although the character Roy in the third official copy is a decadent restaurant owner and middle-aged uncle, he once graduated from Dawn University, a prestigious university with top Federation rankings. When he was young, he also specially developed supporting hardware for Smart Bracelet, so he has a relatively deep accumulation of hardware knowledge.

He Ao, who has the memory of Roy, naturally has some understanding of these hardware.

However, the technological development of Copy World Federation seems to have taken a different path from that of Ruins, but the origin of the two is the same.

Therefore, He Ao can still roughly tell what area these parts belong to and what role they may play.

If it is just a simple problem such as a faulty wiring, He Ao can still try to repair it.

The various parts of this main control computer are connected together by complex lines to form a complex circuit structure.

He Ao follows these circuits step by step, ready to see if there is any problem with Central Processor of this computer.

After spending about half an hour, he finally sorted out the line and found the location of Central Processor.

But when he cast his eyes on this position, he was confused for a moment.

The place where Central Processor was supposed to be placed was empty. A line that was supposed to be connected to Central Processor seemed to have been suddenly pulled out and thrown aside casually when it reached this location.

The lines used in the tower should all be some kind of specially built lines that can keep electronic equipment without problems for hundreds of years, but they cannot completely shield the dust on the lines.

He Ao Observed these unplugged lines carefully and found that these lines were not as dusty as other lines and looked relatively new.

But the "new" here only refers to the fact that compared with the old lines that have not been touched for hundreds of years, these lines are already covered with thick dust.

This shows that Central Processor was most likely "taken" by someone during the period after the demise of Ruins and before the arrival of He Ao.

Judging from the dust accumulation ratio above, He Ao guesses that this time point should be about a hundred years ago.

At this point in time, someone once visited this Central Control Room and then took away the Central Processor of the core computer.
