Today is the second day since Abyss Xiling came to Shadow City.
Bingtis had already gone to God Realm yesterday and sent Father God's reply through the God Realm-Shadow City line. As expected, Father God was also very shocked by the news brought by Abyss Xiling. Obviously, even Yuan Bo
For example, there are things that he cannot understand. He has also studied a lot of things related to the Void Cataclysm, but because he has not been able to access the key information from the other side, the research progress of the God Realm in this area is still far behind that of the Abyss.
Xi Ling's Father God has already organized a group of experts and scholars and forwarded the news to Huron. Now we are waiting for the reply from the Huron God King and then the four families will get together - this will be the first chapter in the history of the void.
The most special and memorable cooperation, the two major protoss, the Xiling Empire, and the Abyss Empire. No matter how you look at these four families, it seems that there is a strange guy sneaking in...
Because I was thinking about the Abyss Xiling, I hurried to the research institute after eating early this morning. Sandora had to deal with some matters in the military department, so she didn’t accompany her, but Lilina wanted to go to the temple, so she didn’t go with her.
I followed her along the way, although I suspected that the latter's statement of "going to the temple to do morning lessons" was completely nonsense. Her real idea was definitely to visit the Abyss Xiling...
I can clearly feel that the institute is busier than usual, and the atmosphere is more tense than usual. On the one hand, this may be because Tavel has increased the manpower of various project teams of the deep dive plan, on the other hand, it should be Abyss Xiling's
The arrival made the staff here feel a little strange: after all, she is also the supreme commander of the Abyss Zone, even if we now know her true purpose. The "prestige" of Abyss Xiling still spreads far and wide, such an enemy
The leader of the army suddenly came to the Shadow City as a guest. It would be awkward for you to be on Sandora.
I found Tavel (the body) and Abyss Xiling in the large research room of the Deep Diving Project Department. The two seemed to get along quite well. They were discussing technical matters next to a set of holographic equipment, with only
Two assistant technicians are helping to operate the equipment and record things. Tavel is a standard scientific madman + emperor. As long as there are orders from superiors and research goals, she can devote herself to work well, even if she is standing in front of her.
Even though she is the ruler of the Abyss Zone, she can keep her face straight, which is one of the reasons why Shandora and I can safely entrust her with important tasks. And now look at her devotion when arguing with Abyss Xiling about technical issues.
It was obvious that she had almost forgotten the origin of the other party and completely regarded him as an academic opponent of the same level.
I pressed Lilina to my side to tell her not to cause trouble, and then stepped forward to say hello to Tavel and Abyss Xiling: "Hey, are you two busy?"
"Salute to you." Tavel immediately responded with a military salute, while Abyss Xiling glanced at the little dwarf following me curiously: "This doesn't seem to be a Xiling apostle? Although it has some power from the Star Realm God Clan, it doesn't seem to be the same.
Pure God…this is also your researcher?”
"This pope is the benevolent, benevolent and kind-hearted female pope in heaven and earth who is universally respected by all immortals! She is the spokesperson of Dingdang, the captain of the 12th team of the 3rd regiment, 4th brigade and the 12th team of the Eternal Legion, the True God of the Star Realm.
One of the top tens of thousands of masters in the city, a girl who can control girls and women, a capable sister and a married woman, the leader of the devil group in the naughty kid camp of the first family, who has long been occupying the armrest on the left side of the couch in front of the TV.
, now that it has dominated the Discovery Channel for two months, are you afraid... Hey, boss, let it go. I haven't finished talking yet, there are more than a dozen knights under this Pope who have not been introduced yet..."
I took out a handful of snacks and stuffed them into the mouth of this sick loli. I looked up at Abyss Xiling, with a somewhat embarrassed face: "Don't mind, she's been acting crazy and startled like this all the time. This is Lilina.
The people in my family, when they are in their right mind, can be regarded as representatives of the God Realm. She came here today just for a visit, so you can just pretend she doesn’t exist."
"Visit?" Abyss Xiling was stunned for a moment, "This is considered an unrelated person... Are you just running around with him like this?"
"You have nothing to do with personnel!" Lilina swallowed the snack hard and rolled her eyes as she choked while jumping up and trying to hit Abyss Xiling's belly, "This Pope has been working hard in the empire for... I can't remember how many years.
In short, you can understand for yourself how this Pope could be an unrelated person! But you, this Pope uses the all-powerful conspiracy theory to look at this and think you have a conspiracy..."
I have long been used to people like Lilina going crazy, but it was obviously the first time for Abyss Xiling to see this kind of battle. She was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at me curiously, opened her mouth and started talking: "Why do you
Is there such a weird guy around? And your Shadow City is also... I didn't have much contact with it yesterday, so I didn't notice it, but today I found that more than half of the residents here are not Xiling Apostles, even if they are Xiling Apostles,
It's completely different from the Imperial people in my impression. Armored scorpions are keen on painting abstract paintings on their carapace, Xiling hosts are queuing up to buy desserts, and there are completely unnecessary things like vending machines in the military zone...
There is even more chaos outside the military zone. Why does the empire's ruling center need things whose use is completely unclear? What is the commercial street for? "
I glanced at Tavel, who shrugged: "I didn't let her go out. My subordinate just showed her the Shadow City tourism promotional video made by Mistress Qianqian, and then asked Xiling to chat with her for a while.
It’s just that she seems to find it difficult to accept this.”
"It's not hard to accept," Abyss Xiling immediately retorted with a straight face, "It's hard to understand. I don't think there's anything wrong with this, and I don't have any position to guide your city planning. I just don't understand the use of this status quo.
.”
"Every fallen apostle who has just arrived has the same idea as you. Harlan and Zadom were more surprised than you at the beginning," I shrugged indifferently, "If I have to say... this is the imperial route I chose. I think
It should develop like this, so I slowly built it like this, and it seems that everyone is very satisfied with this status quo. This has not affected the efficiency of my empire. The imperial soldiers have also adapted to this kind of life, and the following families and Hong
The world is also very satisfied - isn’t this better than your lifeless abyss area?”
Abyss Xiling thought for a while, and finally shook his head with a straight face: "I can't understand. I can't calculate. I don't see how this will help the empire. Maybe this is related to the fact that you are not a pure Xiling apostle... But since your
The new empire is developing well, so maybe your route makes sense. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, and there are no other races in the abyss."
When I was talking to Abyss Xiling, Lilina had sneaked up to the latter's big box without anyone noticing and started to pick at it curiously. Then I suddenly saw the image of Abyss Xiling suddenly turn blue.
There was a bump, and Lilina suddenly shouted: "Wow! Boss, look, this projection mode is the same as the equipment on our spaceship! The usage is the same!"
Abyss Xiling's always calm face showed a hint of weirdness: "Can't she calm down?"
I smiled bitterly and stepped forward, grabbed Lilina's collar and lifted her up. The latter was dancing and kicking her in mid-air: "Boss, put me down! Don't force me. My madness is contagious! I'm afraid it will be contagious."
Not afraid..."
After throwing this guy into the basket, the world finally became peaceful. The strange look on Abyss Xiling's face became more and more obvious: "I don't know how to describe it, but she seems to have a hostility towards me... I'm not sure of my judgment.
Accurate or not, after all, swarm consciousness doesn’t quite understand the way of thinking of living creatures in the real world.”
"She is hostile to all strangers. Let's not talk about it for now. How is your communication with Tavel?"
Tavel took the initiative to step forward and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have sorted out the early data stored in this device and all the intelligence brought by the Abyss Xiling, and are now comparing these data with our own research data. At present,
The comparison results are completely consistent."
"Does that mean the information she brought is true?"
Talking about matters in the technical field. The expression on Tavel's face was particularly serious, and his words became meticulous: "It seems so at present, but before getting all the information, my subordinates cannot make any conclusions about the void cataclysm. Theoretically, it is
so."
"I also found out some things from Xiaoxue... I'll talk about this later. What happened to the wreckage I brought back?"
"The main body of the wreckage is still in the Gnaku, and currently only some of the fragments are undergoing routine inspection," Tavel nodded. "According to the current analysis results, those wreckage did come from the other side. They lack many key properties, it's not that they don't have it.
But it is unmeasurable, which is exactly the characteristic of the material on the other side."
I looked at the holographic equipment next to Tavel. What was displayed on the projection was a black material fragment, which should be what I brought back. Looking at the strange-shaped fragments, I suddenly had an idea: "What if these fragments
What will happen if we put it together?”
Abyss Xiling shook his head: "It's useless. We can't restore the spacecraft from the other side. Even if we can figure it out technically, we can't manufacture the missing key components of the spacecraft: it won't work with materials from 'this side'."
"Of course I have no intention of repairing this thing - it's broken into pieces, so who expects it to drive," I said, holding my shoulders, "I just want to see what this thing originally looked like. By the way,
Let’s see if we can figure out the general structure of the spacecraft, maybe it can provide some inspiration for the deep-diving equipment we build.”
"Whatever, it won't waste any time anyway, but I don't think your attempt is of any value," Abyss Xiling seemed to have little interest in this topic, "I thought about it at the beginning, and tried to recover three points.
One, but later found that there was no profit from doing so and gave up. Their deep dive protection technology has some reference value, but the spacecraft structure is completely meaningless and we cannot use it. Of course, if this is your personal interest, there is nothing you can do.
.”
"Tavel, please arrange some people to put these pieces together," I looked at the girl with glasses next to me, "It doesn't need to be a too important task, just don't delay the business."
Then I learned about the progress of the deep dive project and the deep dive project on the Abyss Xiling side. The results were basically as expected: regardless of the new empire or the abyssal zone, the deep dive research conducted was based on the fragments of the old empire.
Based on the chapter, although Abyss Xiling's memory bank contains a large amount of data left over from the old empire, she was seriously injured in the disaster that year, and a lot of these data were damaged, so her various projects were carried out.
It didn't go well either. On the New Empire side, we have less basic information, but we once obtained a prototype of a deep-submersible ship. Although the ship was damaged in the accident, Tavel still tried his best before that.
Most of them have dug out enough technologies from it, so the New Empire, which is seriously outdated in all technologies, can only keep pace with the Abyss Zone in terms of deep-diving technology.
Generally speaking, the deep-diving research in the New Empire and the Abyssal Zone is half-matched. No one has been able to break through the technological peak of the old Empire era, but it is probably the so-called luck. The most critical things drifting from the other side are all.
Falling into the hands of Abyss Xiling, she is much ahead of us in terms of intelligence.
However, there should be a reason for this situation: it was the old empire that responded to the call from the other side, and the other side didn't know what happened here after that, so they should still be moving toward the North based on the vague coordinates they obtained back then.
Send things from "this side", and Abyss Xiling occupies the remaining territory after the destruction of the old empire, so it is natural for her to receive those things. In this way, the "black shuttle" found in the new empire and the Protoss is actually
These are some unexpected gains.
If I guess correctly, those black shuttles are actually detectors that went the wrong way.
Tavel and Abyss Xiling discussed some technical issues for a long time, and I couldn't get in the middle of it. I only knew that they were comparing the deep-diving technologies of the two camps, and at the same time looking for "entry points" for the next step of cooperation.
After all, the New Empire and the Abyssal Zone have always been isolated. The deep-diving technology of both sides has developed independently without interfering with each other. Now they have become two completely independent systems, and both sides need to develop this cutting-edge technology.
Of course, cooperation cannot simply produce a bunch of experts. Then just pile all the information together and be done with it. It requires far-sighted planning in advance to avoid wasting time and energy - well, I'm just not good at this kind of foresight.
…
"Your deep submersible ship is technically very mature. At least it is heading in the right direction. As long as you continue to improve, you can naturally create more advanced large ships," Abyss Xiling said after seeing the new empire's deep submersible ship.
She affirmed - of course. What she saw was only the basic structure, and the technical details would not be disclosed until later. "Now your problem is that you have poor 'adaptability' to the abyss environment, and you can only rely on hard resistance to improve the spacecraft."
Once the protection system shuts down, the spacecraft itself will be destroyed instantly."
I finally understood this sentence, so I quickly expressed my opinion: "I know. This is equivalent to wearing a suit of invulnerable armor on the outside, but the body on the inside is deficient in vitamins from A to Z..."
Abyss Xiling looked at me silently: "Your metaphors are always very accurate...but always very strange."
Lilina and I stayed in the research center for a while, roughly understanding the progress of Tavel's work and the status of the wreckage and data brought by the Abyss Xiling. After that, nothing happened, so we were ready to say goodbye and leave. But before leaving, I suddenly
Thinking of something, he casually asked Abyss Xiling: "Let me ask you, was it you who protected the Revenge Army back then?"
"That's right," Abyss Xiling nodded, "Although the later 'return method' was a bit unexpected, this plan is basically the most successful of the self-rescue plans I personally formulated."
"Do you know about the abyss that Sandora was infected with?" I recalled Sandora's strange infection state, "She seems to have been infected by the abyss of inertia, but whether she is inert or not is secondary, mainly because of her current condition.
The situation is a bit weird..."
Originally, I just asked casually. I didn’t expect Abyss Xiling to have any answers. After all, planning a plan that spans tens of thousands of years and relies almost entirely on luck is enough to defy the heavens. I didn’t expect much from Abyss Xiling.
Back then, she had included uncontrollable factors like "the abyss" in her plan, but she didn't expect her eyes to suddenly become serious: "She's in a weird state? Tell me about it."
As soon as I saw the expression on Abyss Xi Ling's face, I knew that this matter was not simple. I quickly pressed down Lilina, who was already a little restless, to calm her down, and then restored Sandora's weird "unpurifiable" state.
Tell Abyss Xiling.
"...Anyway, this is the situation I mentioned. Her infection is completely different from other people's. It has not weakened since she has been with me for so many years, and there is no sign of its nature changing."
Abyss Xiling frowned: "Are you sure it's different from others? Maybe it's just a small change?"
"Sure," I nodded vigorously, "There are many examples of infected people in the New Empire. Counting the entire Abyss Independent Group brought over by Harlan, I can easily give you millions of cases with different symptoms.
In this case, you will never make a mistake in this regard.”
"Then it seems to be exactly what I guessed," Abyss Xiling pondered, "Actually, I didn't expect it to be successful. After all, I didn't know about bridges and void structures back then. Even the Inert Abyss was just
Just a guess..."
I was impatient: "What's going on?"
"To put it simply, the world where the Revenge Army was 'safely isolated' was special. I know there is an abyss there, and I also know that it is a relatively 'safe' abyss," Abyss Xiling explained, "After the collapse of the empire,
In the last few hours before, a telemetry detection station discovered the abyss phenomenon in that world, but by that time I had already detected anomalies in the core of the test site and realized that a disaster was about to break out, so within those hours I quickly
They made a plan to temporarily conceal the alarm signal from the telemetry station and isolate the Revenge Army. As for the subsequent launch of the Ark, they were all completed slowly after the big impact began - you should know this, the Empire's
The collapse lasted for hundreds of years and was not completed in an instant."
I nodded and signaled Abyss Xiling to continue speaking.
Abyss Xiling first gave me a question: "Actually, there are many Imperial Expeditionary Forces fighting outside. In addition to the Revenge Army, there were several armies that were not in the Empire area at that time. Do you know why I chose the Revenge Army as the '
