Sword of Daybreaker

Chapter 39: Satellite warning

Views:

Gawain focused his attention on the picture that only he could see, and finally confirmed that what it showed was indeed the terrain within a range of about 100 kilometers around the current Cecil pioneer land, and he was familiar with it before. The operation of adjusting the angle of view is invalid.

The screen is limited within this range, and cannot be moved or zoomed.

Moreover, the original high-definition satellite view has also become this blurred and covered with strange color blocks.

What do those colors mean? Thermal Imaging? Or some other induction imaging

Or... simple glitch

Gao Wen still clearly remembered the voice he heard when he left the high-altitude perspective. He clearly heard words such as energy failure, mainframe restart failure, escape program, etc., so the possibility of failure is extremely high. , coupled with the current state of being unable to adjust the angle of view, further deepened his guess in this regard.

And he began to extend his thinking: his soul, or spiritual body, may have mutated. Although he came to the ground and obtained a human body, his spirit obviously still retains the relationship with a certain "thing" in the sky. The ability to connect, he had been offline for the past few months, but the unexpected crystal strengthened and re-established that connection. As for the ancient device in the sky—whether it is a satellite or a space station—it is still in a state of failure, but it is not known whether the energy system has returned to light or the host computer has successfully restarted. It has become an unspeakable lump, but at least it proves that it still exists.

And in this extended line of thinking, Gao Wen had to start worrying about another thing: If the connection between his spirit and the "satellite" in the sky is beyond imagination, there may even be a connection similar to symbiosis...then Once that thing in the sky is really completely finished, wouldn't it be extremely terrible

He knew that this possibility was not high. After all, he had already completed his rebirth on the basis of Gawain Cecil's body, and he had clearly heard the words "escape procedure" back then, so his spirit should have already Independent, but on this kind of issue involving life and death, any little hidden danger cannot be let go!

But that thing in the sky is most likely hanging on the synchronous orbit of this planet, and he himself is trapped in an ignorant and backward medieval kingdom, let alone repairing that "satellite", he can't even see it now !

In this constant turbulence of thoughts, Gao Wen was still observing all the details of the top view. He noticed that the image was not static. In fact, those hazy color blocks were always changing slightly, and some areas would be brighter. , and other areas will gradually darken, cyclically, which seems to be regular, but while changing, the overall distribution and outline remain roughly unchanged.

But when Gao Wen was trying to summarize the changes in those images, things changed again.

He suddenly saw a box like a floating window appear above the image, and a line of text that was flickering and as if disturbed jumped out of the box. It was a character he didn't know at all—neither Chinese nor Luo The text of any kingdom and race on the Lun continent.

But when he looked at the line of words in astonishment and seriousness, the meaning of those words was directly translated and appeared in his mind:

"New data, the activity of giant planets has increased, and the alert level has been raised to four."

The screen began to shake, and layers of interference patterns appeared on those color blocks. Gawain woke up in horror, and his attention quickly shifted to the external real world—this is the first time such a visual field switch made the scene in front of him shake. It took a while to stabilize, and then he ignored the dizziness that remained in his mind, got up from the desk, and rushed to the door of the tent.

Hu Po, who had been watching invisibly for a long time, was taken aback, and suddenly jumped out of the shadow form: "Wow!"

Gao Wen had already rushed outside the tent at this moment, and the two militiamen standing guard at the door looked back at him in astonishment, but he didn't have time to pay attention, but raised his head to look at the sun that was hanging high in the middle of the sky.

The giant sun was moving slowly and majestically across the sky, and a mist-like halo was rippling around the non-glare sun. Everything looked normal, but soon, there were streaks of red on the surface of the sun. It gradually emerged like a bloodshot eyeball.

The picture in Gao Wen's mind still continued. He saw that the color blocks on the overhead view like thermal imaging were surging, and almost all the colors were rapidly deepening, but gradually entered a new stable state, and some of them seemed to be numerical. Things from time to time appear on the edge of the screen, but they can't be understood at all.

He realized instantly in his mind: These colors are probably not a malfunction, but a special monitoring mode.

Perhaps it is a monitoring mode that is far more useful than the direct overhead view!

There are more and more red lines appearing on the sun (some of the lines have now turned into plaques), and finally attracted the attention of the people working in the camp. They raised their heads and discussed the changes of the sun with gestures. Until the supervisor yelled at them and returned to work.

Hetty, who was using the technique of turning mud into stone to help strengthen the foundation not far away, also noticed these changes. She looked up at the sun, and then turned her gaze to the tent in the center of the camp—as expected, she saw Gao who was looking at the sun with a serious face. arts.

She quickly ran in front of Gao Wen: "Ancestor, it looks like red spots again."

Gawain waved his hand, signaling Hetty to keep silent. His eyes were on the sun, but his attention was focused on the picture in the conscious world.

After going on for a while, the scarlet part of the sun's surface finally stopped growing, and the text above the "surveillance image" in my mind changed a step earlier, and a new line of prompts popped up: "New data, the recovery of the giant planet Calm down, the alert is lifted."

The red lines on the surface of the sun quickly faded after that, and the floating colors on the surveillance images also gradually calmed down and returned to their original appearance.

But even though the surveillance images lifted the vigilance, the vigilance in Gao Wen's heart was hard to disarm.

A large number of new discoveries have become new clues, and a large number of clues are piled up at once and become new problems.

He produced countless conjectures and reasoning, some of which were even daring to the point of madness, but he still forcibly suppressed these thoughts, first regained his composure, and then searched for the explanation that was most likely to be close to the truth.

"Ancestor... are you okay?" Hetty looked at Gawain's face worriedly, "Your complexion is very bad..."

Amber had already slipped out of the tent just now, but the aura around Gawain was so oppressive that this noisy and jumpy half-elf didn't dare to say a word. At this time, Hetty broke the silence, and she dared to speak again: " He came out before the red spots appeared on the sun, and I was taken aback...”

"Heidi, can you feel the change in magic power?" Gawain suddenly turned his head and looked at Heidi seriously.

"There was some magic power upsurge just now, and casting spells has become much easier," Hetty nodded. The magic power upsurge is a normal phenomenon when red spots appear on the surface of the sun—in fact, even red spots on the sun's surface are normal phenomena, but recently For a period of time, the frequency of red spots and upsurges of magic power was indeed higher, and the disaster in Cecil Territory and Gawain's previous warnings were still vivid in her memory, so she couldn't help becoming nervous, "Could it be... "

Hetty's face gradually turned pale.

"No, it's not to the point where monsters will appear," Gawain shook his head to calm Hetty. On the one hand, he made such a judgment because he couldn't see any signs of magic tide pollution from the top view, and on the other hand, it came from Gawain. · Cecil's experience, the elemental power in the air is still stable, then there will be no problem, "It's just a general level of red spots and magic power surge..."

"Magic surges and red spots are normal phenomena, but they usually only happen once every three to five years," Hetty looked worried, "but this is the second time in a few months..."

In fact, the anxiety and tension in Gao Wen's heart were not much weaker than Hetty's.

Even, because he still has to worry about his connection with a certain "surveillance satellite" in the sky, his sense of tension is even stronger at the moment.

But at the same time, he is also very clear that he has now become the pillar of the entire Cecil Territory, especially when he is in front of Hetty and Rebecca, he cannot show any weakness or wavering state.

What's more, weakness and wavering cannot solve the problem at all.

"Don't worry, there won't be any monsters, and I have experience even if the tide of magic really comes," Gao Wen comforted his descendants, "Let everyone do their jobs well—only by building a strong and stable homeland can we survive." There is capital against nature."

Looking at Gawain's confident eyes, Heidi couldn't help but feel at ease. She bent slightly and went back to her work.

Gawain nodded slightly as he looked at Hetty who was using magic power to help with the construction project.

Maybe Hetty and Rebecca couldn't transcend the era and class they were born in in many aspects of thought and insight, but they had a foundation that no other nobles in this era possessed.

That is, they do not think that they can be separated from the people because of their status.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a standard noble lady like Hetty to go to the construction site and use magic to assist in the construction.

Watching the ground rapidly harden into a foundation under the action of magic power, Gawain lamented the convenience of magic, but also realized one thing: after the hardware facilities required for minting coins are in place, hire some down-and-out wild mages to It might be a good idea to help build the camp.

But before that, there are more important issues that must be carefully considered.

Gao Wen returned to the tent, sat back at the desk, and wrote down three questions on a blank piece of paper:

What is the relationship between the "sun" in the sky and the demon tide on the ground

What is the possible role and current status of "surveillance satellite"

Why did Gawain Cecil seven hundred years ago leave a crystal that could help him reconnect with the moon
