Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start Chapter 465

Himmel Soan was astonished. Why would there be a sophisticated mechanical tree in a cultivation world?

“The current technology on Earth isn’t advanced enough to build something like this, not for another twenty years.

“Although, technologies like this don’t seem necessary here. Spiritual essence or formations are much more effective than machines.

“How do I explain this?” Himmel Soan murmured in confusion.

He had never seen anything like this machine before. When he was “reborn” on Earth, he soon mastered the technology there. However, he only knew the most advanced technology by Earth’s standards.

This tree was far beyond his knowledge. There was nothing he could do at the moment.

“Master, what’s going on?” Firey came up to Himmel Soan when she saw him lost in his thoughts.

“This tree is the formation core. It’s mechanical, and the internal structure is rather complicated. What I know for sure is that it is the reason we’re trapped here.

“To leave this place, we must learn the tree’s structure and analyze its mechanism. That’s how we can find a solution. After that, we can get out,” Himmel Soan finally told Firey everything he knew.

He then taught Firey many things about formations. She could only understand half of it. The more she listened, the more confused she became. Everything seemed to be in a tangle; she couldn’t tell one from the other.

“Master, can I burn this tree now? Formation core or not, it’s just a machine. If I burn it, I can destroy it!”

Himmel Soan rolled his eyes. After everything he had explained, Firey was as reckless as ever. He didn’t scold her because what she said was an option.

“Let’s take it easy. We’ve found the core, but we don’t know this formation well enough. Once I’ve figured out everything, I’ll give you a chance to show your skills,” said Himmel Soan.

“Great!” Firey nodded.

He focused on studying the tree. As his spiritual essence moved deeper inside the machine, he was even more amazed by it.

The machine was still operating, which Himmel Soan found rather strange.

There were no perpetual motion machines on Earth, but this tree somehow reminded him of that.

He could tell the tree was constantly operating. If it controlled the barrier that sealed off Stelladom, according to Yagon, it must have been functioning for hundreds of thousands of years.

After such a long time, the machine should have stopped working. But that wasn’t the case.

The barrier and the formation still existed, which meant the tree was working.

Himmel Soan searched the tree with his spiritual essence and realized it was still operating. He controlled his spiritual essence carefully to avoid accidentally triggering anything.

The investigation went slowly.

“The thing that keeps the tree running is a heart. How’s that possible?

“The combination of a heart and a machine is so incredible.

“Wait. The heart is a mechanical one, too.”

Himmel Soan was surprised to learn that the tree was a machine. When he found the mechanical heart, he couldn’t begin to describe how shocked he was.

Even Roams from Atlantis couldn’t do that.

The tree was powered by the heart and worked as the core to maintain the entire formation. Everything was linked. If any part went wrong, the entire system would be affected.

Yet that never happened. The system operated for hundreds of thousands of years without running into any problems.

It was perfect.

“But how can the heart release so much energy to maintain the barrier? That’s the only thing that doesn’t make sense. Is there something hidden inside?”

Himmel Soan had another speculation, and he wanted to verify it.

He began to examine the heart. Although it was mechanical, it seemed almost like a real heart. Anybody would think it was a normal heart just by the looks of it.

However, nothing could change the fact that it was a machine.

The previous investigations all went well, but Himmel Soan frowned this time.

“This heart is conscious! How’s that possible? If a machine has a mind, it won’t follow the rules!

“But I think it has intelligence.”

Atlantis became chaotic because their robots gained intelligence. It was proved by many planets that nobody could control intelligent machines.

What was special about this mechanical heart?

Had someone in this world learned how to control the minds of machines?

Well…

No.

As he dug further, Himmel Soan finally saw the inside of the heart.

“It’s a meteorite core!

“An intact meteorite core!” Himmel Soan was astonished once more.

Everything made sense now. The meteorite core powered the mechanical heart, which kept the tree running. The tree was the formation core that maintained the entire formation.

Once he figured out the secret, he was even more amazed by the tree.

“Without the meteorite core, no one can set up a formation of this scale. But using a meteorite core is such a huge high price to pay.

“Do they really need a meteorite core to seal off Stelladom? What about the other places? Do the Freezing Land, Endless Sea, Thunder Region, and Eternity Desert all have a meteorite core in their formations?”
