"Wow, Arjun Arjun! Is this planet really your home planet? It's so beautiful!!"
Apart from Qian Qian, I really can't think of anyone else who could have come from such a fussy way of speaking.
It seems that this girl has been in a state of excitement ever since the teleportation was completed on the home planet. She even sat around in a shuttle during the few hours we were busy reactivating various buildings on the home planet that were temporarily closed for teleportation.
This planet, which is nearly twice the size of the Earth, has made a full circle - if you can explore the entire planet at such a high speed and ensure careful observation all the way, then Qian Qian, a superwoman who has mastered time, can do it...
We landed the Imperial Admiral in the northern hemisphere of the home star. There is a huge plain here, close to the capital of the home star. The Imperial Admiral here re-disintegrated into General City and became the capital of the steel city next to it.
Satellite city, and we, including Qianqian, who had just returned from a global trip and was still very excited, got on the transport boat and headed for the capital city that looked like a giant eye from high in the sky.
"Arjun Arjun!! The atmosphere of this planet is the same as the earth!"
Even after returning to the ground, Qianqian still maintained an excited state and kept telling me about her discoveries.
"I see……"
I agreed casually, but my attention was focused outside the porthole. This was the world in my dream... I never thought at the time that I would actually stand here one day, and everything here was...
It was exactly the same as what I saw in my dream. The lush distant mountains and forests, the mysterious buildings with blue halos wandering in seclusion among them, suspended in the upper atmosphere, and only some hazy phantoms could be seen, like high-altitude platforms like islands in the sky.
, these are all so familiar, but the moment I actually saw them, I felt something different. The sky was clear and bright, and the clouds covered the distant mountains like gauze. The only thing that was different here was from the dream.
The thing is: I can’t see those huge celestial fortresses that almost scared me to death.
Now I know that the reason why the original three-star system was so close to the mother star, and even close to the low-Earth orbit, was entirely due to my own reasons: that was the stage when my mental variation became stable, and that dream was based on the tower
Weir's analysis is very likely that it is some kind of information projection formed on the surface of the home star when the mutant mental power is freely divergent, just like the information projection between worlds, but this kind of projection is two-way, and the information of the home star is on the surface of the home star.
A dream formed in my mind, and my mental power formed a ghostly phantom on the surface of my home planet - in other words, I had already entered the out-of-body stage... Well, it seems that this is not popular here, right?
?
Ahem, anyway, the mother planet had been sleeping for countless thousands of years. An emperor-level information collection suddenly appeared on its surface and immediately partially activated the three glory starships in outer space that were in standby mode, namely Pandora.
They, but this activation is incomplete, and the starship unconsciously develops the instinct to move closer to this information point...
Just like Pandora often sleepwalks into my room when sleeping, Alaya often falls out of my spiritual sea after falling asleep, and then wraps me tightly with her wings. These are all instinctive reactions - but both
There is a completely different difference between a cute girl approaching you and two planet battleships approaching you, bastard!
"What's the matter? Anyway, the gravity warning system of the Glory Starship itself is on standby at any time. If it gets too close to the home star, they will naturally leave."
Lilina said that the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle, but if it were you looking at a steel sky overwhelmingly pressing down on you, I wouldn't believe you could still be calm!!
In short, as Gaia explained the situation to us one by one along the way, and Tavel, an IQ superman, analyzed the principles for me from a scientific perspective, many of the problems that had troubled me for a long time gradually became simpler.
stand up.
"Arjun Arjun! The gravity here seems to be the same as the earth! It is obviously such a big planet..."
Qian Qian was quiet for less than a few seconds, and immediately became excited about her great discovery again.
"Okay, okay, the gravity here is the same as the earth."
I have never been able to do anything about Qian Qian's overwhelming energy, so I could only agree casually, and then continue to discuss the home planet with Gaia.
"This planet is completely artificial," Gaia said with obvious pride in her voice. "Every part here, from the core to the mantle, from the air to the ocean, is all made by artificial means. This kind of customization
Planet engineering was quite common during the empire's glory days, because natural planets often cannot fully meet development needs, and customized planets, although more expensive, can 100% adapt to our development plans. This planet was originally designed to be a
The capital star has a medium size and can carry all the space requirements for establishing the capital of the empire. Inside it is an independently operating gravitational core that can freely adjust the gravitational force on the surface of the planet between zero and ten g, and this adjustment can not only
The entire planet can be adjusted, or a small area can be adjusted individually. This is to adapt to the needs of some giant spaceships landing for supplies. It can effectively reduce the vibrations generated when the giant spacecraft lands (at this time, Lilina looked up to the sky and sighed.
You damn upstart'), there is an everlasting planet fortress-level shield outside the atmosphere of the home planet. The outer layer of this shield is a defensive nether energy barrier, and the inner layer is part of the atmosphere control system.
The sky we see now is actually the result of this shield, which can ensure that the parent star still has orderly day and night and four seasons without stars, and the ecological model of the planet is a typical carbon-based ecological planet.
Although we have always believed that carbon-based life is very fragile, their diversity and vitality are also very appreciated by Xiling apostles, and according to what we have discovered, carbon-based life is also the most common life form in the multiverse.
Decorating one's planet with a carbon-based ecosystem is popular in many parts of the Empire."
Shandora immediately showed an interested expression, came up and hugged my neck and said: "Well, Arjun, it turns out that this was popular at that time? My home planet was popular with the theme of steel at that time, and the entire planet was painted by those artists.
Tossing around like a hedgehog."
This...baby, don't talk about me at that time, even humans haven't been born yet.
But then again, Sandora and Gaia discussed what kind of ecosystem is popular on the planet in the same tone as if they were talking about what kind of bags are popular recently... Why do I feel so non-mainstream?
Now I finally know why there are no stars here, but the surface of the mother star is sunny. After a long time, the entire planet is under artificial control. It can control the weather with human power. How much is this?
The dreams of earth scientists in recent years have even gradually been called delusions, but in Gaia's view, it is as simple as adjusting the brightness of a desk lamp - even more, to the Xiling Apostle, weather and the like are nothing.
It's meaningless. The purpose of regulating the planet's climate is entirely to ensure that the ecosystem here as a decoration can survive. In other words, weather controllers, which only appear in science fiction novels in the human world, are just a thing in the hands of Xiling Apostles.
Automatic irrigation system…
When Gaia finished briefly introducing the current situation of the home planet, Qian Qian, who had been quiet for a while, became excited again - I shouldn't say again, the excited expression on this girl's face never went away - she almost
Everyone was lying on the porthole, and their tone was full of longing: "Arjun Arjun! Let's build a house here!"
I completely gave up trying to understand this girl’s thinking mode a long time ago, but now I still have to complain: How on earth did you jump to this topic, girl!!
"Okay! Arjun Arjun! Let's build a house here! The land here belongs to our family. We can build a big house! It has three bedrooms and one living room with fine decoration~~~"
...Does this girl not realize that her real estate is now enough to allow seven billion people around the world to immigrate to the universe? We can build a palace on any spaceship we have, idiot!
"Ajun," Sandora had a look of embarrassment on her face for a long time, and then she secretly came over and whispered, "In Qianqian's mind, don't you call it a house except for three bedrooms and one living room?"
I:"……"
Is that really the case? In Qian Qian’s eyes, are all the emperors in the past dynasties poor and homeless people—because they didn’t live in three bedrooms and one living room?
I couldn't help but pull Qian Qian down from the porthole, and then forcefully pressed my child-like girlfriend onto the seat: "Okay, okay, let me tell you, your resentment for the three bedrooms and one living room is too great, right? The whole shadow
Aren't you satisfied that the city is our palace?"
"It's different!" Qian Qian replied confidently, "No matter how big it is, even a real palace is meaningless! A real home only needs three bedrooms and one living room for everyone to be together!"
I was stunned for a moment, but a faint smile gradually appeared at the corner of my mouth.
This is really... a kind of innocence. It turns out that what this girl really wants is a big house where everyone can live happily together? Speaking of which, I forgot about this wish when I was in the sixth grade of elementary school...
…
But I found with guilt that even such a simple wish is a luxury for us.
For the first time in my life, I am so eager to quickly wipe out all the fallen apostles and the power of the abyss.
"This is where the headquarters of the home planet is located." Unknowingly, the transport boat we were traveling on had arrived at the "capital" of the home star. Gaia opened the hatch of the transport boat for us and introduced, "Here is
It is the above-ground part of the headquarters, and its lower layer goes deep into the mantle. Although the special defense system established by the empire is very powerful, it no longer needs to rely on the planet's shell to increase the security level of the control center. However, copies of key departments are established underground.
It has become a habit - of course, the underground part of it has never been used once."
That is, I guess no race can reach the level of nbg all the way to the empire's home star.
What we have in front of us is a large-scale pyramid-like building. The reason why it is described as pyramid-like rather than pyramid-shaped is because the structure of this building is really complex. It seems to be a structure composed of a large number of functional modules. A large number of
Energy spiers and polyhedrons of unknown purpose formed a complex community close to the shape of a pyramid. It was as weird as a large number of Gothic-style churches and Egyptian-style palaces smashed together. Its scale was simply outrageous.
I guess the side length of this building may be more than twenty kilometers, and its height... well, it seems impossible to measure.
Its upper part is constantly deforming!
It was a pile of huge geometric bodies that glowed slightly with blue-white light, with slender cones and polygonal prisms occupying most of them. These strange things were randomly combined, growing or splitting, just like abstract works of art scribbling in the sky.
, these things seem to have a totally reflective surface. I can vaguely see the distant mountains and the projection of the sky forming a clear image on their surface. These deformed geometric bodies move irregularly. I just looked at them.
I felt dizzy after a while.
To be honest, this is really the weirdest building I have ever seen - Xiling buildings are all weird in my opinion. Even though they all have a strong science fiction flavor and a strong and powerful aesthetic, it can't change my view of those buildings.
Buildings are classified into the category of weird things, but this... building complex in front of me is definitely something more abstract than those weird buildings!
"Is this the control core of the planet?" Qianqian and the others stood under this unprecedentedly huge fortress, looking up at its constantly deforming upper level in surprise, "It's really... weird."
"It's so high." Dingdang sat on top of my head and raised his head and exclaimed, "Dingdang is also so high in the temple of the God Realm!!"
As for Pandora and Visca next to me, the two little guys said nothing and lowered their heads in silence - by the way, your resentment about your height is serious enough to become hostile to a tall building? At least Pandora, you can give it to me.
I put on the happy expression that a traveler returning home from a long journey should have!
"Speaking of which, Gaia," I suddenly remembered something, "where are you now?"
"Eh?" The blue luminous body shouted in surprise, as if he didn't understand what I said at all.
"Aren't you a mass projection now?" I said strangely, pointing to Gaia's body that was constantly emitting a faint blue light. This body not only showed the same translucent illusory state as Anweina's ghost, but also its edges
From time to time, there is a jittering phenomenon like interference, which is exactly the same as Tavel's mass projection. I think Gaia's body should still be in the control center of the planet. After all, she can't leave her mother star too far and go to outer space to guide us.
It is also normal to use quality projection.
"Your Majesty the Emperor..." Gaia finally understood what I meant, with a very complicated expression on her face, "I...that's what I look like. I have no body. If I must say it, my soul is integrated with the entire mother planet.
inner."
"Ah? You don't have a body?" I was surprised. Without a body, the soul is fused with the mother planet? Is there such a branch among the Xiling Apostles? Or is Gaia actually the planetary consciousness?
This is too ridiculous. I said, don’t use such seriality.
"Brother Monarch," the lazy Alaya who had been hiding in my spiritual sea and was unwilling to take another step suddenly connected his spiritual connection, "Gaia once encountered an accident, and her body was destroyed from a conceptual level.
, From that day on, she has been unable to have any entity of her own. Now she is actually a piece of data stored using the planet as a carrier. She is unwilling to say more about this topic..."
Alaya quickly and vaguely introduced the general situation. I also found that the expression on Gaia's face was indeed very reluctant. Although her serious personality made her completely unwilling to violate the instinct of obeying orders in the Xiling apostle, I still
I saw a little bit of resistance and begging in those deep eyes.
Damn it, what did I just ask?
At this time, there was no point in apologizing, as it would only get worse. I simply changed the subject: "What, if the arbitration agency is launched, is there anything else that needs to be prepared?"
The Blu-ray girl looked obviously relieved, and replied seriously and respectfully: "There is nothing to prepare. The data that was lost due to long-term hibernation has been restored through the backup data, and we can start working at any time."
I smiled and nodded, then gently patted Pandora's little head next to me: "Good boy, you will grow taller soon...ah!"
Pandora's headbutt is still so simple and powerful.
But I soon learned that Pandora’s headbutt was not just because I poked a painful spot on the height of this ten thousand-year-old winter melon, but more importantly...
Even in the form of a star battleship, Pandora is still the smallest among the Lily trio... What a miraculous figure this girl has!
To temporarily anchor the parent star near the asteroid belt, we naturally have to consider the issue of meteor showers. Under the influence of huge gravity, the asteroid belt where we were originally stationed has gradually fallen towards the parent star. However, in the face of this
For this huge meteorite attack, we don’t have to go through as much trouble as we did last time in the Forbidden World: the home planet has a real planet-level shield, which is as strong as the joint shield of the Imperial Fleet.
Several times, and tens of thousands of anti-aircraft firepowers are deployed in the atmosphere of the parent star and in low-Earth orbit. These defense measures are enough to deal with the asteroid groups that have begun to collide with us.
This legacy left over from the glorious era of the Empire is so powerful that it cannot be compared to the reduced-material version of Starfleet we are rushing to produce now. According to Tavel's analysis, even if she and all her research teams devote all their energy to research, it is still very powerful.
It is difficult to restore the various key technologies of the mother star in a short period of time. In other words, at least for now, this empire mother star cannot be copied. Therefore, when Alaya and the others enter the synchronous orbit and prepare to unfold the glorious form
, Sandora and I have already begun to study the issue of making full use of the home planet after this incident is over.
You know, every one of us is trying hard to pull out that bastard named Occam and cut him into pieces, and our biggest reliance is to start a war with the fallen apostles who are obviously slightly better.
Perhaps we still have to look for it from this ancient relic.
