Chapter 1585: The end of the cold winter, restore contact
An incident that happened a long time ago, and now I was almost thrown into the waste paper of my memories, flashed through my mind like lightning. I quickly poked the Sandora ball in the air: "Sandora, do you still remember?
Don’t you remember that the Protoss was once hit by a star ring fragment?”
Sandora had obviously almost forgotten about this matter, but as soon as I reminded her, she immediately reacted: "Oh! I remember it! That was two or three years ago, right? When we were collecting star ring fragments to the final stage, the Gods said that they
A strange thing was found in the territory... I still remember that the abyss reaction on that fragment was inert. At that time, we didn't know much about the inert abyss, and we were scalping it with the Gods for a long time."
Then we both looked up at the same time, looking at the dusty and inconspicuous man-made planet in space: Celestial Forge.
The Protoss and the Empire had been working together for a long time. We even sent out several void patrols to trace the origin of that strange fragment, but nothing was gained. Now that such a long time has passed, this matter has been regarded as a dead end.
The unsolved case was shelved, but the truth and the culprit suddenly emerged! Do you think fate can be more magical?
"What are you doing? What do you think about this ship?" The unrestrained AI was watched by Sandora and I for no apparent reason. Although we were watching through holographic projection, it still made the other party feel awkward. "Could it be that the fragment hit us?
Are you alive? Let me explain in advance that this ship does not care about compensation. Do you know how difficult it is to throw drift bottles across the polluted area? An accident is inevitable - and this thing was designed by that woman. If you have any problems, go to her.
.”
"It didn't hit anyone, but we did 'maybe' have seen the debris you threw, and I had a headache for a long time." I spread my hands. Then I quickly told the other party about the original incident, "...the situation
That's it. It seems that the device left by Abyss Xiling is not very reliable. We have almost dismantled the wreckage into basic particles and still haven't discovered where it came from - although it did successfully cause the protoss and the
It attracted the attention of the New Empire, but it was only lively for a while."
"In the name of the general!" Tianshen Forge was immediately furious. "This ship knew that what the woman gave her was unreliable! She also said that as long as all the fragments are launched as planned during the sleep period, at least one of them will fall.
The Protoss or the Fire Preservation Area...it's useless to emit this light! All the information on it has been wiped out!"
"Did those wrecks contain messages?" Sandora asked curiously.
"Of course, it wouldn't be stupid to just throw the drift bottle without stuffing the note inside. This ship was already stupid once when it launched the escape boat but forgot to board the ship. How could it be done a second time," Tianshen Forge seemed
I was very angry. "Every wreckage is attached with information about this universe, and twenty kinds of coded void coordinates point to this world! But now it seems that there is something wrong with the transmission process. This portal is a verification type, and it seems
Everything that was sent out through it was completely destroyed... Oh mom, luckily this ship kept its word and stayed here to guard the door, and didn't take the risk of using that thing to launch itself out. Otherwise, there would definitely be no bones left, that one
Why are things made by women so ineffective?"
"You've already died once, so don't keep talking about it. At least the protective layer she set up here is very useful, isn't it?" I didn't expect that one day I would be able to speak for Abyss Xiling. "Look, at least you are going well."
Still alive today.”
The God's Forge calmed down: "That's right, living is better than anything else. By the way, do you want the last few fragments of this ship? It's been blown to pieces anyway, and it's useless to keep them. It's useless to keep them in the first place.
They are just thrown out to be used as drift bottles. To be honest, this ship feels a little upset when looking at them. This is like cutting off your own body piece by piece and throwing it out to recruit people..."
I was immediately disgusted by this bizarre metaphor, and quickly waved my hand: "Stop talking, stop talking, just leave the fragments to us. The New Empire will long-term recycling of this historical legacy... But then again, you only launch these wreckage
?If you throw a distress letter outside, you can also try other things. The wreckage is always limited, and you tearing up your own wreckage and throwing it outside... is too curious."
"What is curiosity? I don't understand." Tianshen Forge was very curious, "This ship occasionally launches other things, databases or other junky things. In terms of quantity, it is more than the star ring fragments, but
Now it seems that that woman is really unreliable at all. I’m afraid these things either don’t know where they flew to, or their biological mothers who have been destroyed by the time they fly to their destinations can’t even recognize them, tsk tsk.”
All the mysteries of the star ring fragments have finally been solved. Although the truth is a bit dumbfounding, it is finally the conclusion of an unsolved case that spanned five years.
The star ring was not stolen by some enemy, she ran away on her own; nor was it the fallen apostle who took the initiative to capture the star ring and instilled the abyss pollution into her, but this guy plunged into the pollution area on his own, and finally had to self-destruct into Ren; Void
Some of the star ring fragments floating everywhere are indeed "natural disasters", but a small part are actually distress letters sent by humans - unfortunately no one can see the contents of the distress letters.
So far, there is only one "safety wreckage" launched by the Celestial Forge itself and found by us. Or it was because it hit the area directly under the jurisdiction of the Protoss without any bias. The other things she launched do not know where they went. This is also
Normal: Only dangerous goods with huge contamination can be said to have distinctive characteristics and are conspicuous wherever they are thrown. However, the same cannot be said for those relatively harmless "drift bottles". They do not have the function of sending messages themselves (even if they do, they will
It was damaged during the transmission process), unless it happens to hit the settlement point of the Protoss or Empire, otherwise no one can see it.
By the way, Abyss Xiling really didn't plan this? She doesn't just want to give this somewhat naive AI hope so that she can be obedient, right? This problem is probably unsolvable, and it's best not to delve into it-anyway
It's past.
"Are there any questions?" Tianshen Forge saw that Shandora and I didn't say anything for a long time, so he took the initiative to mention his mission, "If there is no problem, this ship is ready to open the door. First, open the belly and expose the storage warehouse, and then open this
The world's security barrier, hey. Then this ship will be free! Don't break your promise to let me meet the general. This ship has a clear grudge. Anyone who dares to make fun of the general will die."
The other party's words were very rude and contained as much sand as that lunatic, but Sandora and I would only feel happy for Huesca. We were not unhappy at all. Sandora's ball floated in front of the communicator and first informed
The elves on standby in the nearby lounge can come and watch the "historical moment", and then tell the Celestial Forge to prepare to initiate the final agreement.
Dozens of elves returned to the hall with various expressions to witness this historical moment that they had been looking forward to for 70,000 years. I originally thought that I should be excited with them at this time, but...
...Anyway, that's it. I can just continue to sit in the chair. The physical and mental exhaustion is not over yet.
Communicating with this kind of psychotic host created by Viska is as bad as mental pollution!
Future history books must remember to revise this paragraph. More than forty cardinals and two popes witnessed history with excitement. The head of the empire pretended to be dead in the chair next to him. This is embarrassing...
"The final agreement verification... complies with the activation conditions. Energy is being injected into the inner structure of the planetary fortress, and the storage warehouse will be opened soon..."
The snake-like AI finally became normal when it got down to business, and started broadcasting the system progress with a straightforward synthesized voice like an ordinary starship host. Don't tell me - I was shocked.
This feels a bit unaccustomed! It’s just as unaccustomed as every time I see Lilina Baoxiang standing solemnly on the street preaching!
"It is being synchronized to the interference generator. According to protocols ZA-35, ZA-36, ZA-155, the interference generator enters the shutdown process... The extremely dangerous operation is confirmed and the verification is passed. The shutdown process enters the irreversible stage. This universe will be in
Exposed in thirty minutes."
"Opening the outer shell of the planetary fortress and unlocking the storage warehouse."
The surface of the dusty planet fortress has undergone huge changes visible to the naked eye: an unprecedentedly strong earthquake is occurring at its equator, and the soil on the entire surface is undulating like waves, and then a huge crack appears on the equator line.
The crack is getting wider and wider, and soon we can see countless hurried light spots inside it like flying fireflies. The crack turns into a canyon, and quickly turns into an abyss...
The entire planet is splitting in half!
"To be honest, only this ship can do this job, because the body of this ship was originally two pieces. It used to be two circles. Now it is two hemispheres. This ship has an innate psychological foundation... Oh, I am doing it now.
We are on business, cough cough," Tianshen Forge just lost control of his words. He immediately reacted and changed into that serious synthesized female voice, "The storage warehouse is opened, the internal locking device is released, and the 'shelf' propulsion mechanism is activated...
The 'goods' are pushed to the external environment. Oh really, a lot of dust fell into the body from the surface, and half a mountain also fell in... What should I do if I can't get it together later? What should I do if the mountain is stuck in my stomach?
Do you squeeze hard?"
As expected, this snake host was from the same family as the two lunatics many years ago, and his seriousness could only be said in three or four sentences.
The opening process seemed to take a long time, obviously to ensure the safety of something in the storage warehouse as much as possible. Sandora and I stared intently at the dim core of the planet that was gradually exposed and emitted a faint light.
The treasure also became curious: it is said that Abyss Xiling found a way to inert the abyss on a small scale at the end of the disaster, and it was not with the help of my void power, but with some kind of "equipment". In the end, she put this equipment together with the God's Forge
It is sealed in this universe so that it can be used by those who come after the empire is reborn one day. This can be said to be the last black technology of the old empire. What will it look like?
A strange-looking black thing with a diameter about one-third the size of the moon floated out from the core of the planet.
"What is this?" I was immediately surprised. "Is this made by the Empire? It looks like the painting style is different."
It was a rather huge device, all black with a metallic luster. Its shape was like five or six half-melted ice cream balls piled together. The appearance of this multi-ball that was rounded everywhere clearly did not look like an empire style, and
There are many strange protrusions and light signs visible on the surface of this giant equipment, which is equivalent to one-third the size of the moon, but none of them are the "Made in the Empire" that I am familiar with. Sandora also deliberately released a probe to fly around.
After looking around, the result was surprising: this thing didn’t even have the imperial military emblem!
It is true that there is no nameplate on the equipment manufactured by Abyss Xiling, but at least there must be a military emblem on the surface of such a huge facility!
"What is this? How could this ship know?" Tianshen Forge maintained the horrified state of the entire planet being split into two. He pushed the contents of the storage room completely outside his shield while saying, "This ship is
The gatekeeper, that woman said just keep this, she doesn't even know who needs to give this thing to, you can do your own research."
I thought of the precarious situation at the end of the old empire. It must have been difficult for Abyss Xiling to plan everything under those circumstances. In the end, she almost swarmed together everything she could protect——
So I really don’t have time to arrange a way out for every fire. But this thing in front of me is a bit too strange. The previous fire plans can at least be seen as preserving imperial information, but this thing... it doesn’t look like that at all.
Xiling bloodline.
The huge and strange-shaped equipment was finally pushed into the open area, and the God's Forge was slowly closed. I'm sure that the dusty planet was twisted up and down when it was closed: because there was a lot of rock crust when the planet was opened.
and mountains fell into the cracks of the abyss. If it were an ordinary planetary fortress, most of them would not care. Anyway, the internal cleaning agency would clean it up quickly. But the planetary fortress in front of us has a restless and performance art heart - as a starship
The host Ya actually has mysophobia!
A huge planet is twisting there! The entire earth's crust is shaking in waves! The artificial rock crust and soil layer were all wrinkled by her rubbing and twisting. I said in my heart that it was thanks to the elves and other refugees that
We no longer live there, otherwise how many levels of natural disaster would this be?
After this guy reunites with the two lunatics, he will definitely become the biggest nuisance of the new empire. Nothing is more dangerous than two insane planetary fortresses - I can now imagine two planetary fortresses holding hands and going to the asteroid belt.
Picking up "shells". When I came back, everyone was shocked by the spectacular sight of a meteor shower... I had to get vaccinated with the Grand Overseer first.
At this time, Shandora was still wasting her time researching what the giant device that was dark and looked like a half-melted ice cream ball was. All kinds of scanning equipment were already online, and hundreds of probes were surrounding that everyone.
Guys, there are still some probes trying to find the entrance and get in to take a look, but I don't think even Sandora's ability can find anything in a short time.
That behemoth has no psionic energy response. It may be completely broken, or it may be exhausted of energy. It is more likely that it does not use psionic energy at all. In short, we cannot detect its power, and naturally we do not know that it has any psionic energy.
What's the principle? I don't know how Abyss Xiling used this thing to process the star ring fragments. It was like a pile of abstract scrap metal. The unrestrained AI held it in its mouth like a treasure for tens of thousands of years and spit it out.
But no one knew it. Shandora studied hard for half an hour, and finally came to the only conclusion: "This thing seems to be a little damaged, a hemispheric structure has been blown open, and there is something like a connecting device remaining on it.
It may have other components, but they are not here."
"Don't look at this ship. This ship doesn't know anything." The unrestrained AI's reaction is still so quick, especially when it is shirk responsibility. "It was like this when it was put in. It was bad from the beginning. By the way, this ship
Here is the acceptance report when it was first put into storage, and there is also a video. Do you want to see it? This ship has done everything carefully and has long been prepared to be scapegoated..."
I think it's best for me not to continue communicating with this guy who is damaging our military prestige...
At this time, the interference field covering the entire universe had completely shut down. As the shipboard host sent a "communication re-establishment" notice, Sandora and I's attention was temporarily diverted from that weird... big piece of equipment.
Come on.
"The interference has completely disappeared," Sandora said as she watched the communicator reload the environment parameters and search for channels, her voice was somewhat relaxed, "The things left by the Abyss Xiling... are really difficult to deal with."
I didn't care about talking, I just waited for the communication to be connected, and the group of elves behind me were also nervously looking forward to it. They knew what an important historical moment this was, and just a few minutes seemed to have been stretched out.
After a few years, finally, the channel was loaded, and a familiar voice echoed clearly in the hall: "This is the Garden of Death—Ajun!?"
It was Qian Qian's voice. It seemed that she was guarding the death garden. Maybe she had been guarding there for the past few days.
The bandwidth was restored, and a shallow holographic image appeared above the communication station. She almost fell over: "Aha! I see you, Arjun! Are you okay? Where are Sandora? Where are you now? These
What the hell is going on? We looked everywhere and couldn't find it... Hey, there are a lot of people behind you. Who are they? They look like elves? Are they hitchhiking? Jun, you have a ball on your shoulder,
What is that ball for? Hey, it seems to be floating!"
I can’t even come up with a word: “…”
This girl is still so smooth-talking. Did she save up her words for half a month just waiting to break out and hit someone now?
Qian Qian happily jumped and laughed across the communicator, not caring about her own image or whether there were outsiders watching around her. Even across the entire void, I could feel her heartfelt excitement and joy.
, this was extremely touching - but before I could move for a few more minutes, Qian Qian was pushed to the side by another person, and Lin Xue appeared on the holographic projection: "You bastard, you still know how to report the news to your family."
Ah? Hey, tell me quickly, what’s going on with you these days!”
It seems that I have to explain my whereabouts over the past two days before I can pass the test.
