Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 1540: Relics

Ning opened the book regarding relics and began reading it.

Relics, as mentioned by the book, were objects of the past that had no explanation as to why they existed or where they came from.

That was less to say about the weirdness of the object and more about the lack of history these people had. Traveling all around the world, they had lost a lot of important information that they couldn't bring with them into the future.

Ning wondered why that was, but this book was what he needed to read for now.

He turned the pages and read past a few paragraphs that weren't all that important for the book. He finally reached the part regarding the actual relics and how many there were.

The first relic listed was a pair of books found surprisingly on one of the asteroids that were around Krimanax. During one of the early missions to gather Spark, they had found a pair of books that went by the names of "The Adventures of Sir Bedford Starkler."

The two books were volume 4 and volume 7 of the book.

At first, the people wondered who Bedford Starkler was and how he had gone on these amazing adventures that he wrote of. The things he talked about were fascinating to the people who wrote them.

Sailing across a mass of water enough to fill the entire moon they were on? Absurdity. Climbing mountains with nothing but a single piece of stick? How could he breathe?

Running across green grass that extended by leagues upon leagues. What sort of imagination was needed to create these things?

It was soon clear to the historians who found the books that what they were reading was pure fiction. It was fantasy, made by whoever this Bedford Starkler person was, if he even was a real person to begin with.

Only volumes 4 and 7 had been found, and it was now safely located in the library in Wream.

Ning read the description inside the book and was surprised. How did these people know about the sea, mountains, and grasslands? No moon had the atmosphere to keep these things. 'Did a reincarnator write this?' Ning wondered. He would have asked the system for an answer right away regarding this, but the interface demotivated him from trying to find out.

It was a lot of work for something he didn't need to know.

Ning flipped the page, coming to the other relic. It was a small wooden carving of a sort of humanoid object that he didn't recognize. There were some descriptions of where it was found and how, but nothing about it was special for Ning to continue looking at it.

He flipped the page and landed on the words 'Nuet-Metal'. To Ning's surprise, it turned out that Neut-Metal, the metal that was what the ships and many of the objects inside of the cities were made up of was actually a relic as well.

It was hard to identify which object was a relic and which was not, so they had lumped everything made up of Neut-Metal into this one section.

The book spoke of debates between people on what exactly counted as a Relic under this scenario. Did everything that was made of Neut-Metal count as a relic?

If so, that would make the giant spaceships they had used to come to this moon a relic as well. As it turned out, there had only been 2 rockets at the start, which was copied to make the remaining ones.

Those two rockets were used by City 1 and 2 and had gone through so many maintenance checks that they were no longer indistinguishable from the real ones.

Ning read a little more and found out that the two rocket ships had been what humanity had been traveling on from around the time history disappeared.

No one remembered what the truth was anymore and where the rockets came to be. However, such a thing that had been with the humans, whose existence had been along with the humans at the time, and not lost somewhere in space, could it even be called a Relic?

Aside from the rocket ships, there were many other objects found flying around in space, or on some asteroid or moon, which were properly classified as proper relics.

Ning flipped through the book, going through what the other relics were. There were many books, some objects made up of plastic, leftover pots, and pans, some sort of wreckage they couldn't figure out, a cylinder with nothing but breathable air, and a lot of different things. As he flipped, Ning landed on a page where the very first words surprised him.

DODS and Date Cores.

'Wait, those are relics too?' he thought.

He quickly checked the information, and it turned out they were. DODS, while available in many places, were considered relics because they were simply there and no one knew how to use them for the longest time.

It wasn't until someone found a few Data Cores on their outside expedition that they finally knew how to run those things. They also later figured out the fuel sources for the DODS, which happened was a sort of crystal that could run the thing once left in the sun for long enough.

The crystal was readily available.

There was a large reserve of such crystals, and each Converter was taught to make it once they reached a certain rank so that there was never any lack of such crystals.

Those crystals were surprisingly the very thing that gave illumination to the massive cities underground. While just holding energy, the crystals glowed bright enough to be used as a source of light.

That was the reason why the lightbulb hadn't been invented in this place because there simply was no need for it.

Ning flipped past the information about DODS and Data Cores and read some more, but most of the other info about the relics was quite boring.

In the end, he closed the book and got back to work.
