Speaking of the fallen apostles, they seem to have calmed down for a while.
Yes, "as if" Even if they haven't moved at all in the past one or two months, and even the surveillance posts in the void have rarely found traces of the fallen apostle fleet, I can only use the word "as if", no one Will believe that the fallen apostles have really hibernated. Although they have achieved a lot of combat results in the last few operations, they have suffered huge losses strategically. According to my understanding of them, such losses will not calm the enemy from now on, but will make them Do everything possible to get back the situation.
It's just that the fallen apostles are quite cunning guys at the same time. They rarely show up before they are sure. Therefore, no one knows what is going on in the territory of the fallen apostles. Nest in their own territory.
The third intelligence core has formed more than a dozen special operations teams, and the identity of these special operations teams is something we have never thought of before: fallen apostles, or "former" fallen apostles.
Presumably everyone still remembers what that brat Xiaoxue did when she came here: She instigated Harlan's entire army! And that group army suffered a lot of losses when it followed Xiaoxue to break through the enemy's blockade. In the end, the surviving warships were no longer satisfied with the establishment. Later, we shrank and reorganized this army and added it to the troops of Viska. Viska is an abyss. The general finally has his own formal army again, but both Sandora and I feel that it is not a good idea to put this special army on the battlefield to fight the enemy. So they are more often used to perform secret service tasks. Carter? Carlo seconded hundreds of experienced former Fallen Apostle commanders from the Legion to form special operations teams that have now infiltrated near the enemy's borders, where they lurk. Once the enemy has any troubles, the empire will be able to get the news as soon as possible.
This is much more reliable than Void Sentry remote observation.
In fact, I hope that these special forces can sneak into the enemy's territory all the time and ambush them on their homeland, and then the imperial army can find an opportunity to attack from inside and outside. Maybe it can completely wipe out Haran's remaining power, and even snatch a few universes from the fallen apostles. But this idea can only be thought about. The highly effective spiritual network among the Xiling apostles is the thing that can most resist spies. Harlan must know which of his soldiers have been instigated to the New Empire, so the commander of the special operations team can't find the enemy who is lurking. Opportunities in the team. Now they can only rely on their understanding of the defense systems of the fallen apostles in various worlds to get as close as possible to the enemy's border, and if they go one step further, they will be doomed.
The Fallen Apostles are working on their own plots on their own territory, and the empire will naturally not be idle. In addition to the continuously rotating arsenal and starport, the busiest task now is the scientific research team led by Tavel. Their current most important research topics are two, one is to fully analyze the fragments of King's Lander, in order to reverse engineer some things that we can use. Now this project has not made much progress. After all, things like the King’s Lander were also strategic weapons in the old empire era, and the techniques used were complex and difficult. In addition, Father God and King Huron really beat that thing too piecemeal To put it bluntly, there is a long way to go to restore the principles of King's Landing. At present, Tavel's biggest progress is to design modification parts that can be used for small and medium-sized warships based on the power supply method of the King's Lander. overload—then return to factory for overhaul. We know that the overload technology is also an important part of the Xiling Empire's maddening series of technologies. This technology allows the already outrageously powerful imperial weapons to still fight chicken blood, and now. Overload has been enhanced, and new technology allows a battleship to burst out with four or five times the combined strength in a desperate situation, until it burns all its main guns and shield generators. At present, Bubble has decided to call this modified part effect Bloodthirsty Mania... By the time I found out, the girl had already entered this name into the database.
The second big project that the research team is working on is the study of the deep submersible ship, and this project has made considerable progress: I really didn't expect this. They are almost making a prototype ship!
Of course, it is a test product that cannot carry people, and the "depth" of deep diving is completely incomparable with the prototype of the deep diving ship of the year, and it can only carry limited test equipment. These equipment use the most stupid method to measure The data is sent back, that is, after the deep submersible ship cannot withstand the pressure and self-destructs, it will "float" to the vicinity of the gate of the abyss and be salvaged by the troops waiting near the gate. This is the idea that Qianqian brought up at the beginning. Sandora commented: In the face of ignorant fields, the most stupid method is often the most effective.
It is conceivable that the information that can be harvested in this way of fishing for drifting bottles is quite limited. A sample ship carries hundreds of escape units, and each of these escape units adopts different protection methods. There may not be more than five escaped. In fact, this is also a test: Tavier is eager to know whether there are other ways to further enhance the resistance of the deep diving equipment to the abyss, so he called his best assistants, Hundreds of escape units are set.
The time for the first deep dive of the prototype ship has not yet been determined. Sandora feels that as long as the first ship is successfully manufactured, it can dive immediately. Anyway, it does not carry people, and the experimental area will definitely choose the unmanned universe (the old empire's The lesson made us feel that no amount of protective force around any large-scale experiment is as safe as placing the experiment site directly in an unmanned universe, even if it costs two or three times the cost of logistics and equipment. same), which saves a lot of steps.
As for the deep dive site, several conditions should be met: there is no life in the universe, or there are only a few low-level creatures, and the universe with intelligent creatures and civilized civilizations must be absolutely excluded; there is at least one abyss gate, and the stability of this abyss gate To a certain degree, the entry of the deep diving ship and the later salvage work will destroy the stability of the gate of the abyss. If the initial stable state is not enough, it will easily cause disaster; the scale of the gate of the abyss should not be too large, otherwise the existing suppression equipment may not have enough power.
Pao Pao has already started a large-scale screening of the data in the database to find an optimal experimental environment: it is always good to prepare early. The current sphere of influence of the empire is not small, but finding such a qualified experimental universe is not just a matter of talk. We are incomparable with the old empire—the deep dive experiments must have been much easier than ours back then. What kind of universe doesn’t have such a vast land and abundant resources
Another thing is related to "folk". That is the new members of the empire.
The tree elves have almost adapted to the environment of the new empire. The hundreds of millions of elves who were scheduled to emigrate have all moved into their new homes and built temporary cities. The simple ecological dome on New Oasis made them extremely satisfied, which was at least much better than the scorching and desolate ecological environment inside the mantle, and more tree elves devoted themselves to the work of the Space-Time Administration. These newly appointed liaison officers It may not be long before they will become the special "ambassador race" of the new empire, and these gentle and tenacious elves will become the unique label of the empire, but now they still need to learn, and they have to learn the code of the empire from the imperial soldiers. Following the representatives of other families to learn the rules among the families of the new empire, this is a more troublesome place: the tree elves are a relatively romantic race, and they are somewhat [free] liberalism. From this point of view, they often go out and travel for most of their lives. It can be seen that it is impossible to reverse this kind of character. In the old empire era, they did not have time to accept the iron fist rule of the apostles of Xiling. Learn how to do tasks accurately.
About tree elves. There is another piece of unexpected good news: at some point, they became good friends with the exile fleet. The latter is the only race within the empire's sphere of influence that is indifferent and cautious towards the empire, and the tree elves are expected to become A breakthrough to improve the situation. !
The members of the Exile Fleet are all refugees who escaped when the old empire collapsed, and their country was ruined. Moreover, they have been hunted down for tens of thousands of years, and the crimes committed by the fallen apostles against them are almost too numerous to write down. Although the New Empire and the fallen apostles are completely opposite, in the eyes of a third party, it is really difficult to distinguish between the two However, in the eyes of most civilians in the exile fleet, the soldiers of the New Empire are still ruthless and dangerous, but they will not bother them for the time being.
The appearance of the tree elves confused the frightened refugees for a while, and then softened their attitude.
When we contacted the exile fleet, we didn’t send imperial troops there. Most of the time, we asked the servant army to send representatives. Now that the tree elves are serving as the diplomatic team of the empire, of course I included them in the list of missions, so All the families of the exile fleet saw an unprecedented representative of the empire: gentle, humble, always smiling, with toys and candies distributed to children in their pockets...
I firmly believe that this last one hits them the hardest.
In any case, the appearance of the tree elves greatly eased the exile fleet's nervousness towards the representatives of the empire, and it is optimistic that their impression of the new empire will change before long. I have to admit this time, Lilina's suggestion at that time has achieved immediate results very quickly. I am looking forward to the day when the suffering people of the Exile Fleet can let go of their worries and stand in the same camp as the Apostles of Xiling. Of course, they are also regarded as the imperial camp now, but Sandora is very dissatisfied that the two sides cannot cooperate after all.
"It feels so good...the world is quiet after throwing the tail of that trouble to the diplomatic corps."
Lìlìna was lying on the carpet with her bare feet, her head dangling in search of Ding Dong's figure, she didn't look like an archbishop at all, she muttered contentedly, she meant Lue, the tree elf girl was stuffed by her She joined the liaison officer team sent to the exile fleet, so she got a rare few days of free time, and the whole person is now degraded to the point of no return, look what you are doing now, playing hide-and-seek with Ding Dong! Do you know how unique Ding Dong is in this game
"She seems to be back in two days." I glanced at Lilina, feeling that it was necessary to make this smug girl nervous at a critical moment, "Have you heard of Xiao Bie Sheng's newly-married?"
Lilina was rummaging through the small drawer of the water dispenser for Ding Dong's figure, when she heard this, she trembled, and then she had a mournful face. Like a big caterpillar, it squirmed to the back of the sofa...
Ding Dong came out of a huā bottle two meters away, cheering happily. This is her 176th victory in playing hide-and-seek with Lilina... You see, this is actually the only thing Ding Dong is better than others up. In a game of hide-and-seek where no special abilities are allowed, she has beaten our family more than 1,400 times, and I have to warn you. Never play hide-and-seek with a little Douding who is only less than twelve centimeters tall, you don't even know she hides it in your pocket...
At this time, the kitchen door knocked lightly. An Weina walked over with a large plate of bright and translucent things. Sandora, who was playing chess with her sister next to her, immediately threw down the chess pieces and greeted her. I finally asked Anveena to scramble that plate of crystal crow eggs, and Sandora was the only person in the family who had the teeth and appetite to enjoy this strangest delicacy in the world...
After serving the food for the hostess, Anveena wiped her hands in a hurry, and then continued with her daily work that she had just started recently.
She opened the window, and a crow immediately flew into the living room as if it had been waiting outside for a long time, and kissed An Weina's face twice affectionately. Then the crow stood on a small table near the window and flapped its wings, nodding to everyone in the living room one by one. This is greeting us.
This crow is slightly smaller than ordinary crows, but it is almost an adult crow. Its feathers are extremely deep blue-purple, with a metallic texture around the edges, and the crow's blue-black eyes are hidden. A deep energy glow. If you look into its eyes for a while, you may find a very small electric light dancing in it. When this amazing bird flapped its wings to say hello, I noticed that all the metal objects in the living room were floating. A layer of dull gray luster, as if answering some kind of call... It seemed that the seal he had placed on this little bird was still incomplete. Besides power control, does it have the talent to affect metal objects
That's right, the crow that flew in is the future god of crows. It has only been five days since it came out of the research institute, but it has already grown to such a size that it has even caught up with its parents. The speed doesn't stop at all until it's fully grown—that is, as tall as a man. And with the rapid development, this bird has shown more and more unusual appearances, such as steel-like feathers, eyes with energy fire huā jumping, and that deep and ethereal voice—after getting real Before gaining divine power, it had already become a creature beyond the ordinary.
Anweena now has to start thinking about whether to let the crow live away from its parents. It seems that within two or three days, the old crow's nest on the tree in the yard will not be able to accommodate this strange bird that is growing wildly...
"Okay, I've already learned how to say hello." An Weena touched the crow's head affectionately, and then condensed a holy light with both hands, covering it on the crow's head. "This can temporarily lift the seal that the master gave you, but the training Don’t mess around when you’re here.”
Anveena has decided to take care of the mutant crow herself, and one of the tasks she set for herself is to communicate with the crow every morning, so that the latter can learn how to control its own power as soon as possible. Although she is just a little maid with the lowest combat effectiveness at home, she also has her own strengths. Anveena used to be a ghost, but was transformed into a creature of holy light by Alaya's power, and now she is even a half-angel. It is very difficult to adapt to such a huge transformation, and Anveena can already Quite proficient in using her own holy light: she has a set of experience that others cannot copy in terms of adapting to a strange body and strange abilities. It can't be taught anything but nest building and mouse catching.
Generally, if it is a human baby, it will not have the ability to reason within three steps until it is about three years old, but this strange bird obviously has the same developmental pattern as animals in this respect: it develops rapidly during the fledgling period, and within a few days Already being able to know many people in the family and establishing a trusting relationship with Anveena, Anveena can now guide the little crow to perform the two simplest skills of "Release Shadow Bolt" and "Arcane Gaze". The Shadow Bolt is naturally the black plasma that the little crow spit out from its mouth, but the arcane gaze was trained by Anveena by accident three days ago: the little crow can emit arcane energy from its eyes, The base of its eyes formed two focusing crystal-like structures, and the free energy in its [body] could be radiated out through these focusing structures. Another unexplainable variation. Now its arcane gaze is very unskilled, the rays emitted by its two eyes basically randomly fly randomly within the cone-shaped range in front of it, fortunately it is still small, and this ultra-small-scale magic release can't cause much damage at all : Little Crow's most powerful Shadow Bolt just burned a small hole on the table, and the power of that ball of plasma was actually about as big as a match flame.
When Anveena trained the little crow to focus the arcane gaze on one point, I suddenly remembered something: "Anveena, have you named it yet?"
"Name?" Anveena was stunned for a moment, "Um, not yet, I didn't remember this."
Qianqian's eyes lit up as soon as she heard it, and she jumped up bluffing: "Medivh, Medivh, it's called Medivh!"
I was stunned for a moment, and An Weina thought about it seriously: "It's not very good, the little crow is a girl."
"Ah? It's still a female bird?" Qianqian was quite surprised, then turned on her information terminal, and projected a line of subtitles in midair: "Then it's called Mai Diwen!"
Lilina jumped up from behind the sofa in an instant: "Isn't it the same!"
"It's okay, Medivh has been dead for many years, and he can still pursue the copyright!" Qianqian waved her hand indifferently, "Ah Jun, Ah Jun, can this name work? Medivh!"
I looked at this girl with a sad face: "Could it be possible to call her name in subtitles in the future?"
"What does it matter?" Shallow thinking is difficult to be held back by others, "In the future, it will be the god of crows, God, and its influence will be greater than that of Medivh. At that time, people will only know the name of Medivh, Maddie. Who is Wen? Who knows."
I listened to my head as big as a bucket beside me: "...you...you better put subtitles when you say this to me, readers will see it, what do you want me to do!"
After I finished speaking, Maddie on the other end yelled, "Crack!"
Is this unlucky bird complaining about me! ? (To be continued..)
