"Hey," Qianqian bit her finger and looked at me weakly, "Now it's in our hands."
Yes, that message back then, the information recorded in the detector database salvaged from the gate of the abyss, its original copy is now in our hands, spanning tens of thousands of years of historical reincarnation, from the old empire to the new empire , after beginning and ending a crazy history, it comes to us.
"...Block all networks, close the space where the green star is located, and all fleets that have directly contacted this planet after the green star database was opened, immediately landed on the surface of the green star, and prohibited contact with the outside world."
Sandora hardly hesitated, and issued a series of orders directly, and then I found a chance to interrupt: "Then what, this is really okay? The abyss, hiding in a text message, and then jumping out to pollute the real world or something..."
"Didn't they do that?" Sandora glanced at me, "They once polluted the entire country along the spiritual network of the empire. The spiritual network can accommodate them, why can't it be in one sentence? The abyss can often Hidden in the invisible, since it can pollute everything in the real world, then anything that exists in the real world, whether tangible or intangible, even just a word, a concept, a well-known vocabulary, can be used as the carrier of the abyss, and shallow What Qian said is right, this information still comes from the bottom of the abyss, maybe it can really hide from all detection methods."
This time even I became nervous, Qianqian, Qianqian, you are really a blockbuster guy, this girl's miraculous brain jumping ability really opened up a terrible horror story. The only thing I'm glad about right now is that. Because of a shallow reminder, we killed this weird and hair-raising possibility in the cradle: even if the abyss is really hidden in that message, it has no chance to leave the green star, scientists read from the database Anything that comes is temporarily isolated, according to a decree passed two years ago, after discovering the old ruins, before obtaining the approval of Sandora or me. Anything extracted from the old empire will not be rashly uploaded to the database of the new empire. This was done at the beginning to prevent conflicts between the operating protocols of various devices in the old and new empires (that is, the legendary driver vicious bug), and now , this prudent measure may have snuffed out a potential danger.
Green Star's external communications were all interrupted, and Sandora only used her special mental frequency band to issue a safe and reliable announcement: An emergency situation occurred at the survey site, and Shadow City was temporarily under martial law, before obtaining the personal authorization of the head of the empire. The state of martial law will not be lifted, and no one is allowed to actively contact Green Star. After completing this announcement, Sandora had time to turn to Tavel: "Where is that message?"
"It's stored in the database," Tavel has realized the seriousness of the problem, and said the worst situation he imagined, "If the guess of the mistress is correct, then any read, copy, and transfer operations on it will Pollution may have spread, but currently the possible pollution is limited to the intranet, we put ourselves in an isolated environment when operating the legacy of the old empire."
Well, she finally didn't add "theoretically so" at this critical moment.
"Very good, the decree was executed perfectly." Sandora glanced at me, "Send that message through Ah Jun's spiritual channel." After saying this, Sandora winked at me: "Ah Jun Jun, it’s okay to use you as a filter temporarily, right?”
I thought about it. Understand that the other party is referring to his identity as a void creature. The abyss cannot infect void creatures. On the contrary, the only result of their direct contact with void creatures is to be decomposed in reverse. After all, the abyss is a secondary product of void. To read that information through my mental connection, no matter what is in it. They must have been purified.
The information was quickly passed on, it was just a very simple phrase, and the phrase was spliced together by several broken words, because the scientists of the old empire received a piece of intermittent information, and they found that this piece of information was just a sentence The words were constantly replayed, so after picking out a few words and arranging and combining them, the original text message was formed. It looks like this—
anyone there? Hurry up and reply, I will download this post!
That's all there is to that message, it's a long paragraph, but it's just these words repeated over and over again.
Of course, we don't discuss the content of the text message with you. Maybe no matter whether it is inside or outside the abyss, the watchman-type senders are hard-pressed.
"Originally it used an encoding method that could not be directly recognized, and the source language may not be the same as any known language," Tawil explained, "but this piece of information itself hides a hidden codebook, which is Hidden in the energy peak between each character of the message, through this codebook, the message itself can be translated into any language, which is quite brilliant wisdom, indicating that the sender of the message does not know what the recipient uses Language, but it has summed up a set of dictionaries that allow any intelligent creature to sum up the rules. After translation, the content of this message is to seek a response."
"The scientists of the Old Empire must have translated it, so they decided to answer the call from the bottom of the abyss." I glanced at Sandora, "It's too risky."
Sandora's smile was a bit forced: "If it hadn't happened once, and there was a shallow reminder, who would have thought of this danger?"
This information, as well as all databases and recording devices that have been associated with the dissemination of this information, have been marked, and even those scientists who participated in reading the database have actively isolated themselves from the public network, and all these "suspected infected persons "After more than ten minutes, it was urgently concentrated in a metal cavity in the upper layer of the mantle. The energy furnace installed in this cavity was originally the energy furnace of the green star's surface ecosystem, but the green star's surface ecology has long been destroyed in which world. : For the sinister universes that have been constantly broken through during the escape journey, as long as the green star shield flashes once, the entire ecological circle will be wiped out, and this antique patchwork starship originally used a set of crappy shield devices . So this set of energy furnaces completely stopped functioning more than 10,000 years ago, and now the energy furnaces inside have been thrown to the surface by space transfer. What was left housed scientists and equipment.
We also rushed to the scene. The space here is very large. It is an almost regular hexagonal alloy space. There is a circular depression with a diameter of nearly 100 meters in the center of the ground. In the depression area are energy interfaces and fixed bolts that are still shimmering. The remains, this is what was left after the energy furnace was removed. A large number of equipment was piled up next to the sunken area, and dozens of Xiling technicians were busy analyzing the philosophical equipment. Tavel is checking a large data terminal by himself.
All of the above are isolated by a psionic energy barrier.
Tavel's body also participated in the opening of the database, so she was also isolated.
"No signs of infection have been found, and all the data is clean," Tavel reported to us through the psionic barrier, "but it cannot be ruled out that there is a new type of abyss that cannot be recognized by imperial technology. The logic of the mistress is correct. .The Old Empire's Project X went out of control only after this information was salvaged, and it is likely that the abyss is polluting the real world in ways we have never realized, in theory."
"Actually, I don't think the possibility of this matter is very high. Look, doesn't every link of Project X going out of control sound very logical? Because I discovered an important secret at the bottom of the abyss, I speeded up the progress of various projects, because before All the projects are going smoothly, so the scientists are a little blindly optimistic, because this is an opportunity to fully understand their own mortal enemy, so everyone is working hard—there is no problem with the logic, even without the participation of the abyss. It seems to be the only the result of."
"Ah Jun, this is indeed very possible, but when dealing with the abyss, one in ten thousand guesses cannot be tolerated," Sandora said firmly, "Continue to experiment. First use all known catalytic methods. If it doesn't work... just use it." Can Ajun play. At least one thing can be confirmed now, even if the abyss really sneaks in, he must be trapped in this barrier."
After saying this, Sandora whispered to me: "It is estimated that you will have to go in and purify them one by one in a while. Including those equipment, these materials are a big deal."
I thought about it. First, he smiled apologetically at Tavel: "I didn't expect that even you would be quarantined, but it will be fine."
The glasses sister blinked indifferently: "My lord, don't worry, this is a daily routine for us. Frontier scientists always come into contact with dangerous things, and we have to isolate ourselves every now and then..."
Me: "..." This group of guys with no lower limit still have such a tough daily life!
After repeated monitoring, we still failed to find the so-called abyss reaction hidden in that piece of information. Even Qianqian herself began to wonder if she was making too much of a fuss. People are unreliable, and Qianqian is also very responsible when it comes to business.
Although it is also possible that Project X was indeed gradually out of control under some inexplicable influence from the abyss, it is obviously irrelevant to the information in front of us.
In the end, these materials were preserved, not that we can be completely sure that they are safe and harmless (in fact, after touching the abyss once, it is basically impossible to say that something is completely safe and harmless), but Shan Dora suggested harmless treatment of these materials: using my spiritual link as a springboard, I uploaded the data to the memory core of a mass-produced host, and after being filtered by void creatures, no matter what malicious codes are in these materials, they must be It's all over.
Personnel and equipment that have come into contact with the material still need to be decontaminated—just in case. In the midst of all the attention, I walked into the psionic energy barrier alone, feeling a bit of a tense atmosphere inside. This atmosphere came from the dozens of scientists and assistant technicians in front of me. They were not afraid of the possible abyssal infection, but I want to personally accept the baptism of His Majesty the Emperor, so I am very excited. I think it is nothing, but there must be someone present who has made up his mind not to take a bath after returning home for more than two hundred years...
"Relax," I shrugged dumbfoundedly. I have already switched to the void form. I can't make any expressions in this form, so I can only use body language instead, "Tavel, open your eyes."
I was quite surprised by Tavel's tightly closed eyes, so I couldn't help but said out loud. The other party was startled and looked at me in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, don't you want to punch me? Can you just stop punching me in the face?" ?”
As soon as Tavel's words fell, dozens of scientists around all showed a look of sudden realization, and closed their glasses one by one. I was flustered in the wind: "... who said that you have to be punched when purifying!"
By the way, Tavel helped to develop my own purification power. I thought she was flexible enough, so why did she just remember to slap her face!
As a result, Tavel looked around in embarrassment, and whispered: "Princess Xiaoxue said, 'My father's fist of fraternity has awakened so many lost lambs. I have learned boxing from my father since I was a child." Yes. That's what she said. "
Me: "... Xue girl, go back and teach our daughter moral character for three days, don't you have any objections!"
The eldest lady was so annoyed by my "my daughter" that she became angry and furious: "You and I are going to have sex together! If I don't mind it, you and my father will turn against each other!"
The purification process only needs to last for one minute. In fact, it is just to release your own abyss domain, and then fully soak the contents of the psionic energy barrier. This is much more difficult than fraternity... than punching in the face. But the effect is better and more humane. It is the 2.0 version that I researched after several days of painstaking research. I think everyone can see it. Carter that day? Carlo's punch was in vain...
But what I don't understand is why after I have developed such a high-end advanced technique, I still want to teach my daughter boxing in the future. She's just a brat, she probably started boxing with her own father when she was six years old...
This brings me close to despair.
After nearly two hours of martial law, Green Star finally returned to normal, and even Shadow City returned to normal, but in the end we couldn't confirm whether Qianqian's conjecture was true or not. Was Project X back then really out of control under the influence of the abyss? Did the abyss really throw a dangerous seed to the old empire, and then all the scientists of the old empire were fooled? At the bottom of the abyss, is there really such a superbly intelligent opponent who can plan such a far-reaching plan
If these conjectures are all true, then I will have to re-examine my first contact with the abyss when I was a few years old. When I think that this may be another huge conspiracy, I feel shuddering—I have not felt fear and anxiety for a long time Such feelings. The power of void creatures and the tempering of the past three years may have matured him a lot. But this time, I really feel that things are quite bad.
"Perhaps the situation is just the opposite. There is really a non-hostile guy at the bottom of the abyss." Lin Xue seemed to see that I was in a bad mood. Said in a private channel, "My gut tells me. We are not facing a dark future."
We have now come to the surface of the green star, back to the flat and desolate land covered with soft gel crystals, and the dormant capsules of the tree elves are being transferred to the surface in batches, and the final opening work is being carried out, and these The sleeper was moved to the surface to activate because we found that there was not enough space in the upper mantle: it was designed from the beginning to support half of the tree elves awakening and half of the tree elves sleeping. Before the system aging and the crew tired, the tree elves lived in green Star surface: At that time, the planet’s planetary shield was still alive, able to resist the harsh environment of the universe, and when they were transferred to the ground in batches, they directly entered the dormant cabin, so the hive “cities” on the mantle did not foresee Leave enough living space, now 2.6 billion tree elves are about to wake up, we can only bring them to the surface.
Please allow me to send my regards to the tree elf designer who performed this mantle modification back then—didn’t you ever think that everyone would wake up? ! Or does he think that the surface environment of this dilapidated starship can still be inhabited by then
Fortunately, Tavel had filled the green star with an atmosphere before. This atmosphere may contain a bit of oxygen for the tree elves, but it does not affect their survival. The Xiling technicians have cracked all the structures of those dormant cabins. After the soul is reloaded, they can suspend the hibernation pod and transport it to the surface to "thaw out". This huge project is commanded by assistant technicians and operated by engineers. It is expected to be completed in just a few days: think about it, more than two billion people, and they will all be resurrected in a few days. No wonder Lilina is so excited: She has already made up her mind to lure all the tree elves under the command of the Goddess of Life. I think her success rate this time is unprecedentedly high.
Now the area around us that can't be seen as far as the eye can see has become a busy transportation hub, and the light of space transmission is constantly flickering. It is the elite soldiers of the sisters of Asida-Asidora who are helping to transfer the dormant cabin underground. There's not enough space below, and there's not enough time, so those timeless air force regiments are much easier to use than the bulky legion-level space gates. Looking around, there are dormant cabins criss-crossed everywhere in all directions, one model: a straight coffin.
I:"… "
"Hey, it looks like a mass funeral." Lilina tried to climb up my thighs, trying to attract others' attention, but I threw her down halfway through the climb, "Hey, that hibernation cabin over there It looks so familiar!"
She was referring to a hibernation pod with the top half open. All hibernation pods are the same, but this one has a distinctive feature: the lid has been smashed in several cracks, and there is a silly little picture in the middle. The face is embossed and indented.
When Lilina hit the ground with her face, she hit this hibernation cabin.
While some of us with nothing to do were discussing how tough Lilina's face could be, the tree elf girl in the dormant cabin was finally reborn: she is one of the first batch of awakened tree elves. one.
I still remember the girl's name: Lue, this is her name on the oasis, and according to the chief patriarch, this is also the tree elf's real name. Lue sat up from the dormant cabin, looked at the surrounding mass funeral scene in bewilderment, her eyes were full of panic, then she awkwardly climbed out of the dormant cabin, but before the staff next to her came up to respond, Lue has staggered towards... Lilina.
The girl grabbed the 1.09 meter little loli who was full of shock and trouble, with a happy smirk on her face: "I had a very long dream that seemed very short, and Ni appeared in the dream, can I follow you?" ?”
