(It's the beginning of the month, and it's time to ask for a monthly pass. What did I do yesterday... Ask for a monthly pass and various tickets, as well as subscriptions and recommendations, okay?)
The timeline connects the two events together, and no one thought that these two events would have a causal connection before, so we can't help but sigh the drama of life sometimes: our first contact with the fallen apostle, and finally Going in a big circle, they are actually connected to their deepest secrets.
The Salvation War three years ago was originally caused by the invasion of Azeroth by Bella Villa, Occam, and Savi. The power of the fallen apostles had just spread to the present without anyone noticing. The territory of the New Empire (of course, the sphere of influence of the New Empire had not yet extended to Azeroth at that time), Bella Vila was still a fallen apostle leader, she led a legion to invade the world of Azeroth, trying to find the world there However, they encountered the Protoss Expeditionary Force unluckily. Although the Protoss troops, which were at a serious disadvantage in numbers, were completely wiped out after the fierce battle, Bella Villa and the others had only a few remnants left. Under normal circumstances, one's own troops have suffered heavy losses, and the follow-up troops of the Protoss may have already heard the news. No matter how you think about it, they should give up the mission at this time. However, they were still continuing their mission at that time, risking being intercepted by the Protoss reinforcements. In Azeroth, I couldn’t figure out why this was at first, and Bella Villa was also very confused: If you just need to find the heart of the world, every world has it, and they don’t seem to be looking for which one specifically. Only the heart of the world can do it. You can evacuate Azeroth, which is already unsafe.
Now the truth is clear: they are looking for the heart of the world there. There is also a more important task: to destroy the green star, and the information of the fallen apostles was wrong at that time, they mistakenly thought that the planet in front of them was the green star.
They are going to destroy the planet Azeroth.
Judging from the three-dimensional map, the planet Azeroth is really similar to the green star. It is quite large, has active internal energy, and may just be on a highly probable "route": According to Lin Xue, the green star has the ability to sail across the world during the complete period, and it is an escape ark. Wandering in various worlds after the collapse of the old empire, the information held by the fallen apostles may show that the green star will pass by certain universes, and after they arrived in that world, they found Azeroth at the expected coordinates. And confuse everything: there is a maelstrom in Azeroth, and the fallen apostles who were dizzy by the protoss at that time regarded it as an ocean phenomenon produced by the big rift of the green star. This is the biggest oolong in history, but it almost caused the entire Azeroth to suffer a catastrophe.
However, I am afraid that Bella Vila herself does not know about this whole incident. She is already in the same camp as us. And there is Sylvia, who is not very good at brains, who sells teammates every day. Basically, Sandora and I have asked all the secrets that Bella Villa knows, but there is no memory of "destroying the green star". , which shows that she was calculated from the very beginning. Savi is a warrior who is respected by Sandora, although he is on the wrong side. But it was not a cunning guy (the cunning guy could not be thrown out to lead the battle), so there was probably only one person who knew the truth at the time: Occam, the cunning former chief scientist of the empire.
I lament the impermanence of the world. The once united and glorious Xiling Apostles finally turned into a despicable group that is cunning, insidious and full of various internal struggles and schemes. Bella Vila still maintains a basic conscience after her fall, causing her to be often ostracized by others. Even with the status of emperor, Occam dared to plot against her as a subordinate. From the previous few conversations, I found that Bella Vila did not have a clear understanding of the various secrets inside the Fallen Apostle. This is partly because her memory was damaged after she was reborn as Sylvia. Perhaps one reason is that she has always been excluded by larger groups. The Fallen Apostle is a pure interest group that can easily use anyone as a tool: as long as that person has the value of being a tool and can be controlled.
Viska was used as a tool by the Fallen Apostle when he was completely in a daze. Bella Villa's situation is better, and I'm afraid it's just a more valuable tool.
And the whole group of fallen apostles is not a tool? Eighty percent of them don't even know what the "great cause" they are striving for is, and they are dying in vain. In the end, the only one who controls everything is probably the mysterious "adult".
"Occam died early," the eldest lady sighed leisurely (of course, in the spiritual connection, the surface of the green star only has an extremely thin atmosphere, which is not even enough to transmit sound), and then finally looked at the surrounding He stopped in front of the "rock" wall without any difference, "In fact, he almost found the green star. His calculations were not wrong. In some historical branches that will no longer happen, the green star should indeed appear in the W (Bookstore www.shushu5.com is the fastest update www.shushu5.com) The world of OW is even located in the same solar system as the planet Azeroth. In that route, the mages of Dalaran will be in the arcane illusion It was exciting to see a green crescent moon protruding from the rift in the void, followed by hordes of fallen apostle warships chasing after them, but a small accident caused the green star's cross-world engine to fail, And it failed to restart, and it ended up falling on top of us in a world that wasn't on course at all. Well, here it is, the rock walls are hardened."
As she spoke, she took out the black cube that had been preserved for three years, and gesticulated on the rock wall: "This cube is a replica of the navigation key. I don't know how the original key fell into Occam. In his hand, he made a large number of replicas of the key. This kind of navigation key can activate a certain access authority. Maybe they want to dig out some secrets from here before destroying the green star, so they prepared this thing. But they don’t I know how to use the keys, so I had to let the cannon fodder carry these keys around the world, hoping that the green star can take the initiative to sense the existence of the keys, um, probably so, I have to hold the keys to go back to something, but back then The demons who have touched this key are just small bosses, and there are too few things that can be separated from the limited historical line."
"Do you know how to use this key?"
I asked curiously. As a result, Lin Xue threw the square lump over: "I don't know, please, the first navigation key has been made for tens of thousands of years, and this one in our hand is just a replica. The information connection is very fast." weak."
Well, it seems that even a prophet cannot be omniscient. Whether she is peeking into the future or looking back in the past, she must at least know what it is, and there must be an information connection as a key line. The key is a key line. But this black bump is just a copy of the navigation key, and the information it can contact is up to the moment when Occam copies these keys. Even if Lin Xue's power is fully turned on, he can only see the outline of things further ahead.
But she told us a lot, now as long as we find out how to use this key, everything will be fine.
I fiddled with the black cube thrown by Lin Xue. I have played with this thing a few times before. It is not good looking, and the surface feels a little rough to the touch, like a billet of iron that has not been painted or polished, and it is heavy in the hand. It claims to be a key, but there are no grooves or protrusions to be seen. It is just a square metal bump, and some patterns of unknown meaning can be seen on the dark surface. Too bad the patterns look more decorative than functional. To say that the only thing that can arouse people's curiosity is that there are several small holes of different sizes on one side of it. On the other side there are several long and narrow slits. This completely loses sight of the function of the key.
Tried to stimulate with a small amount of energy, but there was no response. Pressing back and forth randomly, her hands hurt, Qianqian hit the wall twice with it, but the wall did not open a passage, Sandora took a bite while holding the black lump, frowning to express that the taste was not good—scared I'm in a cold sweat.
Tavel held the black lump in his hand, scanned it for a few minutes with his special ability, and shook his head at us: "The inside is empty, and the outer shell has no structure. It is directly cast with a single component."
The current situation is that we have found the door, we have the key in our hand, but we have not found the keyhole, and theoretically no one knows whether the key needs to be inserted into the keyhole to work. Everyone is very depressed, well, it can be described by more than two words, after all, what is one step away from me is the ultimate secret related to the rise and fall of the empire, but what stands in front of me is just a way that is not much better than Ding Dong Pimple, this makes people gnash their teeth. It's basically equivalent to being broken into by more than 1,400 people wearing red hoops just after opening a room with their girlfriend, and the team is led by their future father-in-law...
You see, I'm so anxious that I can't speak anymore.
Lilina held the black lump and patted it here and there, with a serious face, then grabbed my sleeve, raised her head and asked, "Boss, what are these small holes for?"
I noticed those small holes just now, but Tawil said that this so-called key has only a single-component porcelain shell and a hollow cavity. There is neither a series of gears nor a bunch of lines behind these small holes, so just Neng shook his head: "Maybe it was the devil who was idle and stabbed it out with a needle..."
Lilina gave me a blank look, and blew a few breaths into the row of small holes on the edge of the black bump. Of course, no sound came out, but her eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted: "Tavier, Tavel, air! Give me An air environment!"
Tavel seemed to understand something, but he showed a clear look after a moment of stunned, and then ordered his assistant to open a small laboratory nearby. The laboratory was filled with an air environment equivalent to the standard atmospheric pressure of the earth. We rushed into the experiment In the living room, Lilina put the black pimple near her mouth this time, and blew lightly, and there was a sharp sound immediately.
She looked very happy, and changed a few small holes, and blew several different tones. Qianqian was also aroused, and she gestured to press a few long and narrow slits on the other ridge line of the square, following her His fingers moved over these narrow slits, and the ringing from the cube began to have a rounded change.
Although since the player is Lilina, the combination of these tones is like hell.
"This is a musical instrument, boss, I'm good!" Lilina said happily, her face was full of praise, and I lived up to her expectations, and affectionately touched the head of this black-bellied loli: "Got it , Let someone else play it next time, it's too ugly."
Lilina pursed her mouth: "..." Then she ran away and howled dryly. But no one cares about her, this girl is pretending, I don't know what she really looks like when she cries
Sure enough, I didn't wait a few seconds. Seeing that no one came to comfort her, Lilina moved back dejectedly: "And then?"
"Tavier, how long does it take to add atmospheric pressure to the big crack?" I asked the glasses Yujie beside me.
"We can add an atmosphere to the entire planet," Tavel shrugged. "It's better to be like this. The green star used to have an atmosphere. Simulating the same environment can increase the success rate. The fastest will take about 30 minutes. We can send the nearest groups of planetary transformation engineering ships over, Apart from the scientific research base, there is no ecological environment on the Green Star, it is not afraid of storms, and it does not require a mothership to land on the planet to fill the atmosphere, so it should not cause the Green Star to call the police.”
Add an atmosphere to a planet in thirty minutes. This may be difficult for ordinary people to understand, but as long as there are enough engineering ships and suitable equipment, it is actually not difficult, of course. This "inflating" process was a bit thrilling. Ten minutes later, an unprecedentedly strong storm was set off over the green star. Because the initial atmospheric dredging process was omitted, the atmosphere that was quickly transferred to the green star's gravitational capture range was in a matter of minutes. Rush without restraint. A hurricane spread across the world was formed, and its strength might be enough to overturn the entire city. However, the hurricane was quickly suppressed, and the ravens used the power of magic to restrain the air flow around the world. Then began to untangle them slowly, and we walked out of the laboratory. I found that I can breathe in the same way as on earth.
"Is this door opened with sound?" After returning to the rock wall, I asked strangely. "It doesn't seem very clever, especially this key, which is actually a whistle."
"It sounds like a very primitive key," Sandora shook her head, "but you have to know, if you want to save a piece of information, sometimes the simpler the structure, the more reliable it is, they made the key into a simple structure The whistle, perhaps, is to prevent the overly complicated and delicate key from being damaged over time, and whether this simple structure can produce reliable results depends on the thinking.”
"And it's not just the sound that opens the door," Tavel fiddled with his detection equipment, "When the key was blown, it produced a complex set of vibrations, and there was a resonance relationship between its shell and the nearby rock wall , the sound is only the medium for transmitting this resonance relationship. When the key vibrates at a high frequency, every two peaks of it correspond to a trough of the rock wall. Parabolic change…”
"Ahem, tell me something I can understand." I scratched my hair in embarrassment.
Tavel shrugged: "That is to say, this simple key is actually quite complicated to work, according to the resonance relationship between each tone it produces and the surrounding rock walls, as well as the density of the green material on the surface of the green star, and the key itself. This group of 'locks' contains ten to the seventeenth power of password combinations, if all frequency combinations are used... This is at least a 30-minute piece of music, and the tempo is frighteningly fast. "
Lilina burst into tears: just now she volunteered to use her music skills to crack the door.
"Fortunately, we can use a mathematical model to simulate the closest key," Tavel glanced at Lilina who was howling, "The subordinates have found the resonance law, since the key is for intelligent creatures, this set of resonance law It must follow a certain 'rhythm', the subordinates have already completed the calculation, and there is only one way of combination."
In order to calculate the accurate resonance sequence, Tavel specially used a Xiling host. With the powerful computing performance of the host, we got the key in less than half a minute. What is gratifying is that the key The "fault tolerance rate" is quite high, which means that each syllable only needs to be roughly accurate to cause resonance. It seems that the designers at that time have fully considered this situation: the person who will be responsible for opening the door in the future may be a sound idiot. Can't let people not open the door because of this...
What people didn't expect was that it was Sandora who was responsible for playing this piece of music-she volunteered.
For the apostles of Xiling, music is not difficult. They only need to download each operation step into the core of their thinking, and they can perfectly reproduce the voice of any musician, and the "music score" cracked by the Xiling host is also Only the same Xiling apostle can read it directly. Even if we see this score, it is impossible to play it without training.
But one thing to be clear is that although it is very simple for any Xiling apostle to reproduce the voice of a musician, for most of them, it may be difficult to understand the "art" behind it …
After a little preparation, Sandora stood in front of the crystal rock wall, closed her eyes slightly, and began to play the special "key".
When the beautiful and pleasant ringing reverberated, we all involuntarily quieted down, not only to prevent affecting the effect of the keys, but more importantly, this piece of music—it really has a power to resonate with the heart.
Cheerful, tactful, melodious, hasty... The completely different transpositions are switched quickly, but each transposition is unexpectedly harmonious and unobtrusive, and the unremarkable black squares seem to contain incredible magic power, even if it is only a group. The repetition of simple syllables can also calm the mind.
Maybe this piece of music is not just a set of keys to open the door, but what is it telling
I couldn't help but guess like this, and then my eyes fell on Sandora who was playing this movement.
On the blond girl, the princess on the battlefield, the emperor of the ages, and the leader of the race, all these heavy auras are gradually dissipating. When she slightly closed her eyes and immersed herself in the sound of the music, she was as quiet as an elf bathed in the morning sun. She stood in front of the rock wall and knocked on the ancient door with the sound of the flute thousands of years ago. At this moment, I was a little overwhelmed by this girl who got along day and night.
gorgeous.
Then Lilina popped out the strongest sentence: "It will take a full thirty minutes..."
I:"… "
I want to punch her, okay? (To be continued.
