"The critical point has been safely crossed, and the ship has entered the energy storm zone. The security control level on the ship has returned to normal."
Following the steady broadcast of the shipboard host, we left the Gate of the Abyss, which was once used as a deep-diving port by the old empire, and embarked on the road to join the large army. Because there are not many things behind that we need to pay personal attention to, so Everyone simply stayed in the laboratory. When the critical point was crossed, the work in the laboratory was suspended for a while. Now it has restarted. The technicians are busy establishing a dialogue with the ancient autonomous machine, and we are Busy watching them build a conversation.
This self-disciplined machine with tens of thousands of years of history and incredible experience is now the focus of everyone's attention. I even think that its deeds can be written into the textbooks of the Imperial Military Academy: even though it is just a "self-disciplined machine" "It's a cheap device that you don't even realize, but it does the same thing as the best soldiers. Without the lonely efforts of this autonomous machine for tens of thousands of years, the last fragment of this universe would have dissipated in the void." , then our gains today are even more difficult to talk about.
"I am in awe, a robot is so loyal." Bingtis muttered, "loyal" is probably the highest praise in her mouth.
"Ajun, how should we arrange it in the future?" Qianqian nodded and dangled one foot there. She couldn't be quiet for a moment anyway. She looked at the autonomous machine that was covered with pipes and was undergoing system inspection. , seemed particularly concerned, "How should it be counted? Veteran? Veteran with meritorious service? Citizen? Or something else? I always feel that it should be rewarded for doing such a great thing."
"How to arrange it..." I thought for a while, then my eyes suddenly fell on the data terminal next to me, and I smiled slightly, "Okay, it seems that it has already made a choice - look at that."
What is displayed on the data terminal next to it is what the other party "said" after establishing a connection with the ancient autonomous machinery: "System self-test completed, reset completed, confirmed that the receiving personnel are in place, and the work status is being uploaded... The work status is uploaded Completed. Everything on this machine is normal. Apply to return to work."
"Perhaps for such an autonomous machine, continuing to work is the best reward," I smiled slightly. "When you go back, give it to Gaia. Gaia has swarms of autonomous machines around her. She She is almost becoming the mother of self-disciplined machines. I believe Gaia knows how to take care of a 'child' like hers."
"Yes, your will." The person in charge of the laboratory on the side immediately responded with a serious salute.
In general, we have gained a lot from our visit this time. Information about the old empire's deep dive program has always been what we are most in need of. Whether it is the technical information on the deep dive back then or some implementation details of the deep dive operation. , should be able to excite Tavel for a few days. Especially this time we also discovered something about en-166. The existence of en-166 means one of the biggest mysteries at present-the origin of the fourth civilization and their relationship with the old empire. relationship - with great progress, the "bridge-building" operation was finally proven to be carried out simultaneously between the old empire and the civilization on the "opposite shore". And the entire deep-diving plan may even revolve around "bridging". The old The empire has made many attempts at dialogue with the civilization on the other side, and it definitely found some way to exchange information with the other side: Although the timeliness of this exchange may be terrible, it is obvious that the two sides exchanged some information with each other. And on the other side, Civilization also sent a stone to the old empire. Although it looks like an ordinary space mineral, en-166 is very likely to contain a deeper meaning. We collected a large amount of weathered dust from the workstation, part of which has been It was sent to the material analysis laboratory for preliminary measurement, and indeed some components were found that lacked physical properties, or were "incompatible" with the world of order. This basically confirms that fragments of en-166 are mixed in, so I think One of the biggest gains of our trip was the hundreds of kilograms of sand - even though it made Xiaoxue blush for a long time and kept saying "I hate daddy the most" until she got home.
Another harvest is those original suppression towers from the old empire, which will undoubtedly make our deep-diving technology a big step forward. After the deep-submarine prototype ship, the new empire has harvested another batch of prototype equipment. Even if their value is not
The size of the deep-diving ship back then was quite a surprise. I guess if the fallen apostles knew about it, they would definitely be willing to pay the price of a fleet to snatch this thing from us.
The small fleet consisting of three scientific research ships and some auxiliary ships successfully left the wreckage of the world. Soon, everyone returned to the bridge of the Imperial Admiral again. It seemed that everything was normal outside. The fallen apostles did not appear.
Trouble: This operation went really smoothly and was a bit unexpected.
I'm used to those grandsons jumping out and stabbing me every once in a while...
Shaking my head, I temporarily put aside the troubles of the fallen apostle, and then I glanced casually, and a figure that was almost forgotten by everyone appeared in front of me:
In front of the communicator on the bridge officer's platform, stood a young man dancing with excitement. He was wearing a gorgeous and stylish armor, with a face so evil that he could become the world's richest man just by swiping his credit card.
The communicator was chattering non-stop, and he seemed to be talking enthusiastically, but no sound came through: I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have blocked him and the communicator with a soundproof field.
"That... you're still talking..." Qian Qian grabbed my arm and rubbed it back very carefully, while whispering as if she was afraid of attracting the attention of the humanoid rap machine in front of me.
I stared at the scene not far away with my mouth open, and reached out to poke my father next to me: "What, Xingchen, we have been out for nearly a day... Have you ever tried how long that guy can talk?
?”
Father God's mouth twitched: "If it were you, would you dare to try? Can you find someone who dares to try?"
"...That's right, don't say anything and stop him quickly."
Father God shrugged, stepped forward and tore off the soundproofing field, and immediately the gushing voice of the Supreme Dragon God came: "...That is really the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. For mortals in that world,
The juice of a plant called Aiko grass is squeezed out, and after fermentation, it is used as cooking wine to stew meat. Only salt is added to the rest of the seasonings, and it is possible to make such delicious things - by the way, when it comes to salt, it is said that in some
Place can be used as currency, and you can buy things directly with salt - by the way. Let me tell you about the development history of several common currencies. When it comes to the history of currency development, I have to mention the history.
Something, I have the impression that there is a great historian among my followers, and he is particularly good at making stew... Do you know the 496 ways to make stew? One of them can only be made in an iron container.
...Hey, Father God. You are back? That's great. I'm just talking about the wonderful part. Let me tell you from the beginning, starting from the expedition 63 million years ago...Hey
Wait! No... Boss, what are you doing... Wait, let me go! What did I do wrong! Why woo woo woo..."
The Father God stuffed the Supreme Dragon God into a cage of light that overflowed with light. He also carefully laid several layers of soundproof barriers, and then handed the thing to the Cong Shen next to him: "Take it back and cast a layer outside.
Star gold stone, buried at the bottom of Lake Aronia."
The slave god was stunned, with a struggling expression on his face. It seemed that he felt that such treatment was a bit too cruel. He did not believe that the Supreme Dragon God would be buried at the bottom of the lake, so he hesitated and confirmed with the father god.
: "Lord, if it is buried so shallow, will it escape early?"
Me: "..." This is the power of adding insult to injury! The previous methods of adding insult to injury were too weak. Does the real adding insult to injury mean pushing someone down and then pouring buckets of aqua regia into them?
"You don't know how to dig deeper, just don't dig too deep to penetrate the continent." Father God waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to report such a simple matter, and then shrugged awkwardly with me: "Just kidding. You shouldn't have done this before setting off.
This guy was brought out mainly because the Brilliant Divine Court strongly requested me to take him out..."
I immediately felt the same, and couldn't help but turn my head and glance at the fleet dispatch board next to me. There was a majestic Chinese character face shining brightly on it. So I felt sad: "Understood, we also have a person who is strongly applied by my colleagues.
Brought out."
"Haha...haha," Father God smiled dryly, "I am much more balanced..."
"Hey, Madman Two, are you alive?" I came to the communication station. The device was still on, but what was displayed on it was not the head of a certain commander, but a silver-white ball: the Warsong, as a ship
The AI of the battleship, the avatar of the 250 host is of course an egg.
"Well, what next?" came a dry sentence from the other side of the communicator.
Me: "What did you say?"
"Well, what then?" Two Hundred and Five's voice rang again, just like a repeater.
Me: "...automatic reply?"
"Well, what then?"
Everyone: "..."
I felt dumbfounded, and as soon as I waved my hand, Viska jumped over with understanding. Maotong Loli kicked the communicator hard and shouted: "Hey! Adjutant!"
"Well, then...ah!? The general's voice! General, are you back!?" Following this voice of surprise, the silver-white planet battleship portrait on the communicator immediately brightened up, as if it were a corpse. "
Is that idiot gone?"
"I thought it was an automatic reply," I suddenly became happy. "Have you been brainwashed into a conditioned reflex for a long time?"
There was a strange silence on the other side of the communicator. This time, this madman was rare and did not immediately burst out with a bunch of swear words. Instead, after being quiet for a while, he slowly said: "Tell me, what's wrong with this ship? Is this ship corrected?"
Isn’t it possible?”
Me: "..." I was really speechless this time. This majestic and domineering man soared into the sky. The amount of sand he said in one sentence was enough to sift through the labor camp in Changping for half a year. He was known as a crazy woman like aqua regia.
Actually... actually soft?
"From the first sentence, he never took a breath. Do you believe it?" Madman AI just said one sentence quietly, which blocked the thousands of words in my heart. In an instant, I felt a surge of profound enlightenment.
On my mind: It seems that I have really underestimated the fighting power of that garrulous Dragon God. A fierce character who can make a good-hearted man like Father God decide to cast iron and seal Ya's corpse into a lake, how can he not even know how to count?
The two lunatics can handle it. Listening to lunatic Ai's feeble voice, I knew that she was probably seriously injured this time.
I patted the control panel in front of the communicator with emotion, as if this could provide some comfort to the battleship with a radius of more than 7,000 kilometers: "What, do you want to say something now?"
"……Silence is gold."
"... Take good care of the second lunatic, and don't let her get distracted and fool others with her gravity." I patted Viska's little head and left her in front of the communicator, "I'm going to have a chat with Father God."
"You don't look good," God Father said curiously when he saw me swinging my arms over, "Is that guy Qian Yuhao quarreling with someone?"
"No. I just lamented that if you can call mental illness a mental illness, it's nothing, but if you can call a mental illness a neurasthenia, you are a cruel person!"
Father God: “?”
"Let's not talk about it. The matter here has been settled, but we have to leave for a while." I sat down on the seat next to me. At the same time, I took out the jingle bell and let the little one move around: she ate and slept all day long.
Liao Chi seems to have almost degenerated into a perennial herbaceous plant. "We have dismantled nearly one-third of the suppression towers and taken away the last engineering robot. The suppression system of the Gate of the Abyss has gone out of control. I'm afraid.
It won't take long for it to collapse, and the lifespan of this world's wreckage will also come to an end. Before I leave, I plan to use it as a small gift for the fallen apostle - starting from the fragments of the star ring, those grandsons have been throwing things at me from time to time.
, now it is near their border, and I plan to throw the fragments of this world into their territory."
"Aren't they from the abyss side? Do you use the Gate of the Abyss to deal with them?"
It seems that Father God does not know the fallen apostles deeply. He probably thought that the fallen apostles' use of the power of the abyss was of the same nature as those "things" in the gate of the abyss, so he asked strangely.
"I didn't expect it at first, but fallen apostles will actually be affected by the abyss." I turned my head and glanced at Viska, who was gesturing in front of the communicator to communicate with his madman AI, "You know, the people around me
There are some subordinates who were originally in the camp of the fallen apostles, and they brought a lot of great information. The fallen apostles have the properties of the abyss. Their weapons are also corrosive, but the power of the abyss on them seems to be neutralizing.
Later: Infectious and highly destructive, but also rational. Such fallen apostles will also be harmed when facing the pure abyss. Of course, their resistance to this is definitely stronger than ordinary creatures.
, the specific extent to which it can be achieved has not yet been studied clearly. If an abyss gate is thrown into their territory, it will probably cause them a lot of trouble."
Father God lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he broke the silence: "If you put it this way, an unprecedented 'unique environment' should have formed within the fallen apostles."
"Huh?" I looked at Father God in confusion. He seemed to have something in his words.
"Maybe you are a fan of the authorities. To you, the fallen apostles are just a new camp that emerged after your compatriots rebelled. But in my eyes, they are a brand new higher-level species that will never be produced through natural conditions and ordinary creation methods.
Creatures," Father God said slowly, "Yes, I regard the fallen apostles as a new species, and this new species has racial properties that are unimaginable in the world of order: abyss affinity, they are both rational and reflexive.
It has two characteristics: order. And such a new species will definitely have a lot of trouble surviving in a world of normal order."
"Oh, that's true," I nodded immediately. "Except for a small number of 'Cleaners' who are less infected or have been specially purified by me, most of the abyssal fleets have to be stationed in special places. They have
A strange characteristic is that the greater the number and the denser the individuals, the more chaotic the area they are in will become. But it is not the kind of extreme chaos and destruction like the abyss, but... various bizarre phenomena emerge one after another.
.But this doesn’t seem to have any impact on the fallen apostles themselves.”
"That's it. If they gather together in large numbers for a long time, they will need a special environment," Father God nodded, "or create a special environment yourself, even though the abyssal fleets under your command are no longer infected.
sex, but it does not mean that they do not have 'radiation'. From this, it can be imagined that the territory of the fallen apostles should also be a special area that we have not seen yet, and the farther into the hinterland of their territory, the more serious this mutation will be, until
…The world they live in is completely distorted to the point that it is incompatible with the world of order.”
I thought for a while, turned around and called to a certain oversized naughty kid who was biting his ear with Qian Qian: "Xiao Xue, come over here."
Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at me from a distance: "What are you doing?"
This child is still angry that I sent her to dig sand.
"Just come if I ask you to come over. There's so much nonsense. Don't you want pocket money next week?"
The effect of these words was obvious. Xiaoxue immediately ran over like a puppy after seeing a bone: "Dad, tell me, do you want my mother's nude photos or mine?"
I:"……"
Father God: “…Who will bring up this child in the future?”
Me: "Anyway, at least including the one you just ordered to sink into the lake."
"I won't joke around with you anymore, I want to ask you something serious. You have stayed in the territory of the fallen apostles for a while, and you have been deep into their hinterland. Isn't the world deep inside the fallen apostles different from the outer world? What is that place?
Like?"
We have limited knowledge of the territory of the fallen apostles, and at most we have come into contact with their border world, and Xiaoxue is the only one who has stayed in the hinterland of the abyss empire - this naughty kid has made great achievements - so I think she should know something.
So Xiaoxue told us her original great action again, this time focusing on the world environment within the realm of the fallen apostles. The result - completely confirmed Father God's guess.
"I originally thought that the fallen apostles lived in a pure abyss environment, but now everything is clear," Father God said slowly, "They cannot contact the pure abyss, nor can they move normally in the world of order. Therefore, the hinterland of their territory is
A state between the world of order and the realm of the abyss.”
"So what?" I asked puzzledly. These conclusions made by Father God are actually not difficult to speculate. I have also thought about this aspect a little bit, such as the mutation of the world within the fallen apostles, but Father God
Putting this point forward emphatically, is there any mystery behind it?
Father God looked into my eyes and reminded me slightly: “Do you remember that the fallen apostles had a ‘great cause’?”
