It is said to be a letter, but it is actually more than that simple. There is a lot of messy information in the database. A rough catalog shows that it contains scientific research projects, voyage logs, video materials, and messages. It was sealed in an encrypted file, and the signer of the file was Harlan? Croix? Levallet.
We looked at each other, and sometimes faced with such dramatic things, even if we were used to it, we still couldn't think of what kind of expression to use to face it, this and Sandora? Kelly? A long name like Ulasses, who has a bit of classical aristocratic temperament, has often appeared in the documents of the headquarters recently: most of them are about the analysis of the military strength of the fallen apostles, Harlan? Croix? Levallet refers to the fallen emperor, His Majesty Harlan, who has fought fiercely with the imperial army for many times recently and caused us heavy casualties.
Green Star was actually rescued by him tens of thousands of years ago, and it was his general, Zadom, who sent Green Star on the escape journey at the last moment. The two are connected again from another direction: Zadom, the former imperial general who personally served as the empress of the Green Star Palace and let the tree elves escape from birth, is coming to destroy this planet.
I don't know what mood those two are in now. Will their frantic minds that have been controlled still feel sad
"What's wrong with the information?" The patriarch saw that we looked at each other strangely, and couldn't help but feel very worried. What she worried most about was whether these precious materials had been damaged: the tree elves had spent tens of thousands of years on this, escorting them all the way. These legacies drifted from the territory of the old empire to the territory of the new empire. If there is a problem with the data, it will be a huge blow to them.
"No, the information is fine, we thought of something else." Sandora replied lightly. At the same time, he shook his head slightly at me: Don't tell them yet, the tree elves are not ready to accept such a blow, this is the message I can see from Sandora's eyes.
"Scientific research projects, there are only directories, no substantive content such as results, not scientific and technological materials." Sandora began to read the materials in the order of the directories, and she put the letter left by Harlan at the end. In order to be able to study them without distraction for a while "maybe to tell us what the last scene of the old empire's X plan was like before it went bankrupt. The flight log is the log of the green star. There is also a part of the original route List, it seems that this planet has deviated far from the course. Video... I will talk about these later. Finally, these messages." Sandora connected the message left by Harlan to the holographic projection, and the poorly working holographic device shook After a few clicks, the picture stabilized, a tall and burly figure. Wearing a majestic imperial uniform, a middle-aged man with thick brown hair appeared on the screen. He looked ahead and held an imperial command knife with floating psionic flames in his hand. This attire is familiar to everyone—it is the full set of outfits that the head of state of the empire will only wear when he appears on a formal occasion.
"No matter who it is, the person who has obtained and can read this information. I salute you, and hope that you can keep this information forever. Until it comes in handy." The middle-aged man said calmly, "I am ha Lan Croix Levallet, the leader of the Xiling Empire, hopes that those who get this information can still know this glorious and glorious name.
You can obtain the information intact, indicating that these exiles finally escaped from the circle of destruction, and their identification devices confirmed that you have the qualifications to contact psionic energy, or have an inheritance relationship with the empire, I personally hope it is the latter.
If you can contact the exiles and pass the identification system of the exile starship, then your level of civilization should be high enough, but it is very likely that you still cannot understand what I am going to say next, it does not matter, this is just a message.
The Xiling Empire is facing a crisis of destruction. This crisis is caused by ourselves. Its root and direct cause is the wrong research direction of the void and the uncontrollable outbreak of the abyss. I just want to offer advice on this: No matter whether you have When you come into contact with these concepts, please keep one thing in mind-restraint, in any case, don't think that you really have everything under control, the void is more out of control than you think.
If you have come into contact with the abyss - I don't know what you will call the latter, perhaps plague, disaster, and other things, but the following phenomenon can basically confirm them: Their main material world presents a state that cannot be explored. The two-dimensional plane of the structure, this plane will be attached to any place, including the surface of stars, and then these things will spread rapidly. The initial abyss infection will cause the contacts to be emotionally manic, the equipment will work abnormally, and accidents will occur frequently. The physical constants are disordered, and the catastrophe escalates exponentially until space itself collapses. This is a rapid and irreversible process. If you have ever come into contact with this kind of thing and escaped from it, then now I can tell you its name: the abyss.
Please record the following and save it until you come into contact with a civilization that understands it - before starting those crazy research programs, we received anomalous signals from the bottom of the abyss, yes, we went deep into the gate of the abyss, that is In a routine scientific research mission to the abyss phenomenon, scientists launched a new type of unmanned deep-diving ship, which advanced to a position in the abyss gate that no one had ever reached. The recording device was sent back to the main material plane, and regular and significant signals appeared in the recording device.
These signals were not sent into the abyss from any route from the material plane. We finally confirmed that these messages came from the bottom of the abyss. Whatever exists there is trying to get in touch with the material plane.
These signals make people feel confused and disturbed. The abyss has never shown such a nature. Even those abyssal creatures with thinking ability have never produced similar logic or rational behavior. It challenges our long-standing basic world view and As a result, the empire began to launch a large number of advanced research. We're sure of one thing: the only way to know what lies at the bottom of the Abyss is to find out. We built the original deep dive boat and various detectors. We hope to get in touch with the voices at the bottom of the abyss again, but everything is going slowly. In the end, we decided to use the power of the void "... After this is a history that we are already familiar with. In fact, at that time the empire had launched Project X and started Large-scale research on void knowledge, and the information that scientists accidentally obtained from the bottom of the abyss led to the entire Project X being given a [stimulant] shot. The incident mentioned by Harlan was not the cause of Project X, but its direction. The out-of-control fuse "Abyss" is of unprecedented significance to the empire. It can be said that 80% of the existence of the entire Xiling Empire is to fight against the abyss. Now they see the opportunity to crack the secret of this ultimate enemy So I immediately became excited. The projects in Project X that had been suspended due to excessive risks have been relaunched one after another. The action of the Xiling apostles after being inspired by hatred and fighting spirit is terrible. That is, at the same time, the chief scientist Occam used the taboo technology of Project X to create the first and last deep dive ship. This starship, which was based on the original deep dive ship and took a hundred years to research and complete, is the most advanced in the old empire. Deep diving equipment, it was once close to a certain "critical point" calculated by scientists. This critical point is believed to be the farthest distance that can directly communicate with the bottom of the abyss. Although the deep diving ship failed to cross the critical point in the end. But it A communication was successfully sent at the deepest location: that was the strongest communication that could be carried out at the peak of the technology of the old empire. Under normal circumstances, it might be enough to broadcast to tens of thousands of worlds, but in the depths of the abyss ... who knows how far these signals can travel.
For a long time afterward, scientists of the Old Empire waited at every gate of the abyss. Looking forward to getting feedback from the bottom of the abyss again, and getting in touch with that mysterious signal source. During this period, the old empire completed countless seemingly brilliant scientific and technological achievements, and then put them on the shelf after discovering that they could not be used at all. They created the Red Moon Cube and built a psionic starship to preserve the cube. They tried Controlling the evolution direction of the void, trying to use it like psionic energy, in an inexplicable encounter, they also lost the deep submersible ship - Viska should be responsible for this, but there is no way to pursue it, because after that Before long, disaster struck.
The "letter" left by Harlan not only contains his own audio-visual information, but also a series of video clips and various graphic tables. It seems that he tried his best to condense everything about the empire in this short message In just ten minutes, his image appeared in front of us again after the last video: "Time is running out, I hope the civilization that got this information can keep it properly and spread it as much as possible. So that it can spread to the kingdom of the gods—if you have the ability to talk to them. Now all our networks and external interfaces have been heavily polluted by the abyss, and the empire's borders have become a circle of destruction infected with a highly toxic virus. Any act of external communication may cause the abyss to spread, and even endanger the gods. The only hope is these border planets that have not been infected. One in a thousand can escape disaster.
Harlan? Croix? Levallet, over. "The message is over, leaving only a mess of blue and white lines on the holographic projection.
Sandora was silent for a moment, then turned her head and asked Tavel's quality projection: "Tavier, have you finished downloading these materials?" "After saving, there are actually not many materials." Tavel replied quietly, "This is just a message. "Compared with a bunch of scientific and technological materials, I think this message is more valuable. How is the situation of the tree elves?" Date, now these newly awakened elves are very disturbed, um, obviously, they really don't look like the vassal races of the old empire. His subordinates are gathering the awakened tree elves and preparing to send them to the parent planet first. Lord Gaia has activated two ecological domes, which should allow them to recover faster. Then I'm afraid it will take time for them to figure out the status quo. "Sister, go and help me." I touched my lord, "Those imperial soldiers are not the material." My sister agreed, and rubbed my hair before leaving, with a doting look that made people feel helpless . Qianqian lay down next to me, resting her head on my arm. She looked around and then at me with big eyes, and said after a while: "Ah Jun, I'm in a bad mood." This way the timeline is basically clear. "Sandora turned off the projection device. She leaned on the chair and looked up. Wangtian: "This is a new discovery, we never thought of it before... Before the appearance of the deep submersible ship, someone received an active communication request from it, and then started the out-of-control era of the Empire X project, the abyss... what on earth is there. "I rubbed my forehead and connected one thing in chronological order. Finally, a clear line was formed: during the heyday of the empire, the Xiling apostle started the X plan to study the void. In the early days, this plan was bold but still Controllable. Scientists maintained the necessary sanity, and after that, a new type of probe that routinely detected the gate of the abyss returned, and brought back text messages sent from the bottom of the abyss. After that, the scientists and rulers of the empire were subject to This incentive suddenly accelerated the process of Project X, and all projects began to develop in a radical direction, and black technology began to be allowed to be used. The Red Moon Cube was built, and then. Occam made a deep diving ship, trying to communicate with the abyss The underlying signal source established a connection. There must have been many similar experiments in the same period. After that, Occam’s scientific research army was attacked by Viska’s rebels, and the deep dive ship was destroyed. It seems that the empire has never been able to manufacture The second deep dive ship was launched, and then, a catastrophe happened.
The empire has been silent for tens of thousands of years, until one day in 1999, a brat with a sniffling nose heard a voice at the entrance of the alley, and the wheel of fate continued to move forward—and fell into the ditch without hesitation.
Ten years later, a new empire was established.
"I suddenly thought of one thing - more than ten years ago, I once encountered an abyss, um, a suspected phenomenon of an abyss." I slowly tapped my temples, recalling the childhood memories I recalled in the brigade wall of the Temple of Life "At that time, I heard a voice. We always thought it was the message from Occam's deep submersible ship. After echoing in the abyss for thousands of years, it suddenly emerged from a certain abyss crack on the earth. Now I think there is something suspicious here." Sandora nodded, she had already thought of certain facts: "According to your memory and the logbook we got from the deep diving ship, those two sentences are actually quite different, listen Another version arrived." So it wasn't the deep dive ship's voice, but something on the bottom of the abyss responded to the deep dive ship's communication: it was answering us. "It's a pity that it's tens of thousands of years late." Lin Xue's tone was quite emotional.
"Now it's time to switch to them and wait for the response." Sandora suddenly showed a strange smile. On the contrary, they were the ones who sent the message first, and the empire was the one who responded." Hey, has anyone thought of another thing?" Qianqian had been wandering in the sky for a few minutes, and suddenly came back to her senses. There seems to be something extraordinary in his little head, "Project X appeared normally before the old empire first received the message from the abyss. It was only after the probe brought back that message that the whole thing got out of control. I Think about it, maybe Project X was already affected by Abyss at that time... With the help of that message, Abyss was hidden in that message, and it has been lurking since then, slowly affecting Project X and those scientists, and finally In that experiment, the void directly decayed into a super abyss, maybe it was the seeds hidden in this message that finally grew and broke out of the ground. "When Qianqian said this, I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that her tone was so gloomy.
One thing she said is credible, that is, the abyss may really be hidden in a piece of information, saved by the detector's database, and then pollute the imperial scientists when others read the database. After all, it can Contaminate all known things, under the void, no one can be 100% immune to the abyss.
"This is impossible." Sandora shook her head, "Do you know how many security barriers there will be in the hinterland of the empire? If it was really hidden in that message back then, it should have been wiped out the moment the detector data core was salvaged. And it has been lurking in the spiritual networks of so many scientists for a long time: this is even more impossible." But it was sent from the bottom of the abyss," Qianqian reminded, "No one has ever approached there, who can tell Can the abyss in Qing Dynasty be very cunning, disguising himself as a peace ambassador or something. "We suddenly felt hairy all over. This girl, Qianqian, usually keeps her head running on the Kangzhuang Avenue that goes off topic. Occasionally, when she thinks about normal problems, she can hit the vital point so miraculously. If her guess is true, then Was the empire destroyed by a text message back then
"Well, Your Majesty, I'm afraid I have something to report now." Tavel's quality projection suddenly interjected, her body is processing the database far away, and this quality projection is staying here to report the situation to us. "We just I found a piece of information from the database, which was the one they received back then from the bottom of the abyss, and... it was the original." Immediately, the atmosphere around them became even more frightening.
"Hey" Qianqian raised his hand weakly, "Now it's in our hands."
