Chapter 703 Knot

"This is the steel giant that attacked Saint Mary Joa two hundred years ago."

In addition to asking Klee to help optimize the Holy Mother Flame and get some technical wool from Vegapunk, Xie Wen also asked him to take him and the cats to visit the ancient robot.

It was hidden in the corner of Egghead Island by Vegapunk using holographic projection. Normally, you can only see a wall. No wonder Xie Wen couldn't find it before.

When the Holy Mother Flame was swallowed by Klee, it was temporarily exposed, but at that time everyone's attention was attracted by the research layer that lost its barrier and the two Five Elders who appeared later.

Even if a pirate caught a glimpse of it, its tattered posture in a pile of garbage did not attract anyone's attention.

"Can I dismantle it? Check-it!"

(ゝω)~☆

Meowerya looked at the huge robot in front of him with shining eyes, looking eager to try.

"Of course not!!!"

Vegapunk's reaction was very violent, very pirate-like.

"Why? This guy can't move at all."

(=ω=)

Little Dejuan asked in confusion: "And if you don't take it apart, how can you study it? Didn't you copy a robot?"

"It's not that I don't want to take it apart, but this robot can't be disassembled normally, it can only be disassembled violently." Vegapunk explained: "So I just scanned its internal structure through the instrument."

Seeing that Meowerya was still pouting and looking reluctant, Vegapunk continued to persuade: "This huge robot has no special technology except that its power source is unknown and the materials used are relatively strong. The internal structure diagram I scanned is enough to understand its manufacturing method."

Just when Meowerya was quiet, Klee, who was lying on Xie Wen's shoulder, shrugged and muttered: "But, Klee feels that this big guy has something good on him."

(=`=)

Xie Wen and other cats have great trust in the judgment of the only designated mascot of the investigation team.

"Are you sure it's in the body of this big iron man, not the robot itself?"

"Klee can be sure~"

(=ω=)σ

The little puppet pointed at the ancient robot lying in the garbage dump, shaking her arms and drawing a circle, "And Klee can feel that it should be in that area, meow."

After finding out that Xie Wen and the others had no specific idea, she immediately jumped off Xie Wen's shoulder, ran to the robot's abdomen, trotted around it and made a circle that was smaller than the robot, but in fact had a diameter of more than ten meters, and then jumped in the circle and said, "It should be in here, meow!"

(=＞＜=)

"Huh? That position..."

Vegapunk, who hadn't taken it seriously and thought it was just Klee playing around, was stunned for a moment.

Because the position circled by Klee was indeed a bit special, and the results of the scan showed that there should be a rope stored under that area.

Before, Vegapunk hadn't figured out what the purpose of putting a rope there was, because it was not connected to other mechanisms, and the overall length was probably only slightly larger than a palm for ancient robots, so it was unlikely to be used as a tool, so Vegapunk could only guess that it was probably prepared for the robot's "driver" or "master"...

But now it seems that there are other possibilities?

"Rope?"

After listening to Vegapunk's explanation, Xie Wen was also confused...

Although he was confused, Xie Wen, who firmly believed in Klee's treasure-hunting ability, still planned to take out the rope that Vegapunk mentioned.

Since the rope would not affect the robot as a whole, and Vegapunk himself was curious about what it was, he agreed with Xie Wen's idea without hesitation.

The rope, which might be a good thing, was hidden in the skirt armor of the lower body of the giant robot, in one of the roots of the whole circle of sunken stripes. From the outside, it was impossible to see that there was a small mechanism hidden there.

But Xie Wen and his team had the scan of Vegapunk, so they easily locked the position of the rope.

"Is this really something from nine hundred years ago? After so many years, there is still no gap at all." Xie Wen climbed onto the giant robot and squatted beside the position pointed out by Vegapunk, stroking the concave area where there was no gap at all, muttering in disbelief.

He had seen many videos on Earth about the situation where two pieces of metal fit together perfectly. It was not difficult to understand that nine hundred years ago, when ancient weapons could be made, they had similar cutting technology. What Xie Wen really found unbelievable was that after nine hundred years, the outside of this big robot was already rusty, but there was still no flaw in this gap...

"So, you don't think there is anything wrong with this?"

Xie Wen looked at Vegapunk in confusion.

As a result, the other party's reason was as exaggerated as this big robot...

"It's not difficult to do this kind of thing, why should I doubt it?"

"..."

Okay, you are a genius scientist, you have the final say.

Xie Wen speechlessly withdrew his gaze.

Although you couldn't even see or touch the gap, it was still very simple to open it. Under the powerful suction cup provided by Bega Punk, Xie Wen alone lifted the piece of metal that was larger than others. Pulled out.

Sure enough, this metal block was connected to a rope that was thicker than the El cats.

He grabbed the rope and pulled it out a few times, and quickly pulled it to the bottom.

The other end of the rope was connected to the inside of the robot's body. According to Vegapunk, there was no mechanism connected to it, it was simply tied to it.

Other than that, the only special thing about this rope is the ordinary slipknot tied on it.

Wait...knot?

Xie Wen suddenly remembered something related to knots in the world of pirates - the Wind Knot in Visalia, a small island in the sky, a magical "technology" that can release the power of wind by unzipping the knot.

"Don't untie it yet!"

Vegapunk obviously also knew about the Wind Knot, he shouted: "This knot may store something!"

"No... such a big thing uses aerodynamics?"

Hearing Xie Wen's unbelievable voice, Vegapunk instantly understood that the other party also knew about the Wind Knot. He quickly said, saving the time to explain: "Impossible, let's not talk about how strong the wind is required to drive such a large robot. , the wind knot needs to be untied before the wind power can be released. In addition, the Knot of Wind cannot achieve stable and continuous transmission of wind power, and I have not found a device for conveying and converting wind power. Another decisive reason is that if the backup energy of this robot is stored here, then Why wasn't it used two hundred years ago?"

After an analysis, Vegapunk came to the conclusion——

"So, either this knot stores very powerful winds that are so powerful that we can't even imagine, or it doesn't store wind, but something else."

Xie Wen nodded thoughtfully.

It makes sense. Even something as ethereal as wind can be stored in a rope, so it seems normal to store something else.

"Then...what should we do now?"

Whether it contains wind power or something else, it is impossible for Xie Wen and Bega Punk to directly unlock it before they figure out the mystery.

After thinking for a while, Vegapunk said: "Wind Knot is a unique technology of Visalia, so I don't know much about its principle... In this way, I cut a small piece of rope and left it on Egg Head Island for research. , if you have a chance, take this knot to Visalia and let the scientists there help take a look. Haredas and the others are very friendly people and they should not refuse to help. "

Naturally, Xie Wen would not refuse this proposal, because he had originally planned to go to Visalia, but the sky island had been floating around irregularly, and he could only try his luck to find it, and because of the previous For various reasons, Xie Wen never asked Keli Miao to help guide him.

However, now he doesn't have to trouble Kelimya, because Vegapunk has the permanent pointer of Visalia in his hands.
