(First of all, happy new year!)
We are used to calling the separated two parts of the parent star "technological side parent star" and "mysterious side parent star", and the separated apostles are also called "mysterious side legion" and "technical side legion", but in fact This statement is not accurate, Pandora's commanders also have members who know magic (but since the establishment of the new empire, these commanders have never been able to restore the secret knowledge in their memory bank, we have always believed that it is a long time Dormancy destroyed the memory core of these commanders, and now I know the real reason is "concept split"), it is said that there are also people who use technological power in the old part of Alaya who is sleeping in this world, this is the so-called hybrid Xiling apostle , this kind of hybrid Xiling apostle who possesses knowledge on both sides of mystery and science and technology was left behind by the Emperor of the Fifteen Heavens when the home planet was divided into two to ensure that the two parts of the home star could develop the technology system on the other side again. One of the reference points of the "safety threshold" of the "preservation threshold", and now, these commanders have also become the key to reintegrating the two parts of the home planet.
According to Alleria's situation, we can judge that she has now broken away from the authority sequence of the empire. Apart from being able to recognize the "sibling identity" of some of us, she is not compatible with the spiritual link of the new empire at all. It is estimated that other mysterious side commanders will also face the same situation after waking up. This is a sequela of the split concept back then. It is not feasible to forcibly add them to the authority tree of the new empire. The only breakthrough point is those hybrid Greeks. spirit apostle. The knowledge recorded by them should be a piece of "unlocking code". Only by mastering this code can we completely reverse the "concept separation".
Of course, this should all be after returning to the shadow space. Our work in this world is not over yet.
"Those commanders who don't belong to the mysterious side, and don't belong to the technology side have actually undergone mutations after the concept split is over." Still in the different space in the assembly hall, Aurelia is restarting the building. certain equipment. She activated a circle of stone pillars on the outer edge of the platform. I originally thought that these stone pillars were decorations, but I didn't expect them to be the control terminals of the assembly hall. Explained, "A considerable part of the knowledge they have mastered will become castles in the air due to the division of concepts: the basic theories and laws corresponding to those knowledge are lost in the void, making them unable to be applied. The commanders on the technology side may remember I have some secret techniques, but I can't recall the details of using them. The commander on the mysterious side may know the equipment. But I don't know how it works. Yes, it is the situation you mentioned just now. The commander on your side said this It is because their respective memory cores have been damaged during the long-term dormancy process, but in fact this is because the "preservation threshold" set when the concept was split was limited, and the information that the two parent stars can jointly retain only accounts for the total information. less than 10% of the amount, and this part of the information has to be encrypted and camouflaged layer by layer... "
"So Alaya became a mechanical idiot?" I looked at the angel sister who was waving her wings and doing nothing to do anything. I remembered that this guy still doesn't know how to use the information terminal made by the technology side - even Mercury Lamp can use that thing to find cartoons on the Internet by himself.
Alleria looked at Alaya, and answered after a moment of silence: "No. That's because Lord Alaya is a mechanical idiot."
Me: "..." Well, does this solve another mystery: Alaya's original intelligence is at the level of 250,000 to 80,000!
"There are two assembly halls. They are Hall No. 1 and Hall No. 2." Seeing that everyone was speechless, Alleria shrugged and continued, "Their functions are the same, but the principles and working methods are quite different. I think about it... Well, the memory seems to have come back a little bit, I remember that there is a giant transformation device in Hall 1, and there is a set of transformers between the inner space and the outer wall. Void state, completely abandoning the physical entity, and instead being placed in a different space in the form of basic information, so as to completely achieve complete immunity to any damage, and they will restore the entity only when they are awakened. But for this My understanding of the process is very limited, so I can only read it to you according to the instructions in my memory. After all, I am not very good at dealing with those mechanical things. The second hall is a "sedimentation" formation that takes effect slowly. For a hundred years, the commanders stored in the hall were completely disassembled, our information was reorganized, rewritten, and split into countless data packets, and then these nodes were assigned unique serial numbers and stored in this In the 'worldview' at the bottom of the world... um, is there a problem?" Alleria turned to look at me.
"Then what, just tell me the result," I scratched my head in embarrassment, "it sounds cloudy."
"Well, what I mean is that the commander of the Alaya Legion you are looking for is hidden in abstract things like religious stories, legends, natural phenomena, celestial constants, the speed of light, and mortal worldviews in this world "" Alleria said surprisingly, "but the distribution is not uniform. According to the original setting, the commanders should be decomposed and stored in the underlying data that is more inclined to have the 'observer tendency', that is to say What a self-aware observing body of the world can perceive..."
Sandora sighed, and patted me on the shoulder: "That's religious legends and mortal worldviews."
"Um, oh..." I nodded stupidly, and then opened my mouth wide, "Wait! Religious legends and mortal worldviews? This...there is a mysterious commander hidden in this? This...how the hell do you understand this?! This is not a system at all, okay!"
"That's the way things are on the mysterious side. We tend to analyze the root of the world in a more direct way," Alleria said softly, "Everything is information. As the highest standard, the only difference is the means of using information. The apostles of Xiling are information, religious legends are also information, a drop of water, a grain of sand, or even a bird song. They are all information. As long as you use appropriate means to distort the world, you will It will be found that all barriers known to people do not exist, why can't we hide ourselves in another piece of information? Just change the system."
Lin Xue poked my waist, with a smirk on her face: "It's like when you go to the H Internet and download a 32KB picture, only to find that it takes up four gigabytes in the hard disk, and it's loaded with a lot of poison. …”
"Damn it. I suddenly feel that the mysterious side is so high-end," I instantly understood Lin Xue's metaphor and was speechless because of it, and then I knocked the head of the eccentric young lady, "Don't use the same meme for two chapters in a row!"
"The specialization is different," Alleria seemed to laugh slightly. "The technology on the technology side can also do the same thing, but the equipment and methods used are different. That's it. That's it for now."
Alleria has been fiddling with magic circles on the stone pillars around the platform since just now, saying that she wants to restart the hall. Now she finally breathed a sigh of relief. And as soon as her voice fell, I suddenly felt more and more intense vibrations coming from the platform under my feet!
"Wow! Look at the bottom! Look at the bottom!" Qianqian jumped up and down to the edge of the platform at the beginning of the shock, and looked down to see the movement. When I looked next, I found that the suspended corridors and building fragments that everyone had passed along the way before were beginning to drift, as if waking up from a long sleep. Countless huge broken buildings are spinning and moving. Putting together, the dust that has been deposited for a long time falls from these suspended fragments that have been static for many thousands of years. It seemed as if a diffuse cloud filled the dark space below, and a low rumbling sound echoed all around, but the sound of those huge fragments colliding was not heard in this rumbling sound: seeing those giant fragments The scene of fast stitching together is easily reminiscent of the continuous loud noise of collisions, but in fact there is no collision at all. Even the huge floating islands like hills maintain an incredible Precisely, they move precisely, rotate precisely, decelerate precisely, and finally fit together precisely, without the slightest friction.
The technology itself is already one of marvels.
"What's in this Hall No. 2?" Watching those broken buildings gradually combine into a huge and gorgeous building complex, Sandora couldn't help asking curiously, "I heard that Hall No. 1 is an empty place. , but there are not so many messy floating debris."
"Hall No. 2 is very special, because during the hundred years of waiting for the queen to return, I slightly remodeled it," Alleria's voice sounded a little proud, "I transferred the City of Angels."
Qianqian's eyes lit up, she jumped over and shouted, "Sounds like a high-end name!"
"That's the angel manufacturing center of the empire. Lord Alaya and I were both manufactured in the East Angel Wall of the City of Angels, and we lived there most of the time." Alleria said, her gaze Putting it on Alaya, the latter thought for a while, then shook his head and pointed at me: "I don't know, I prefer to live in the spiritual world of Brother Monarch, it's warm there, and it's convenient to bring children."
Alleria was dumbfounded again—with us, I'm afraid she has a lot of dumbfounded moments.
"The reorganization of the City of Angels will take a whole day, and then it will take me even longer to release it to the outer world," Alleria finally ignored the weirdness of the group of people in front of her. It was because she knew that her former commander was unreliable. "As for the release of other commanders, it will take longer, so we can leave here first."
With Aurelia's reminder, I realized that everyone has been in this weird space for a long time, and those who stayed outside might have been waiting long ago—the fork may have even been dug for us again. Row the grave, thinking of this, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body.
Anyway, Aurelia has woken up, and I have plenty of time to ask her about the inside story of the empire, and the automatic project here will not be completed for a while, so under the guidance of Aurelia, everyone found the assembly hall that changed its position due to space distortion Exit and return to the outside world again.
From the drowsy and chaotic space filled with weird shadows, I suddenly came to the Forgotten Garden under the clear sky. I felt a pleasant relief in my heart, and then I saw several The little figure that rushed over.
Shoulder. The chest, arms, and several little girls who were almost bound with equipment found their respective military strongholds in an instant, and a war started directly on him: "Idiot! Idiot priest! Get off your shoulders! Both shoulders are mine. of!"
"Who made the rules for you! Boss didn't give me to sit on his shoulders last time - didn't you, Boss?"
"Guru! Guru murmur ... 呱! Gat! Grab a mouse! The owner eats! The owner eats first! Ga! Get a one old ..."
The last sentence that appeared I couldn’t keep calm anymore, I could only look at the little crow with a face of asking for credit in horror, with cold sweat pouring out like Baotu Spring: “I’m sorry, why is no one looking at this bird! Hurry up Throw away that thing in her hand!"
Being hung up by such a group of little guys who will be seriously alive and kicking if you don't pay attention is sometimes fun, but in some cases it is really dumbfounding. It took me a lot of effort to remove them one by one. In the end, only Mercury Lamp, the little puppet that has been used to each other, was left sitting on my shoulder. Most of the accumulated psychological pressure seems to have disappeared at once: it is really a blessing to have such a group of pistachios around me—it would be even better if they don't fight every now and then until they want to demolish the house.
After I put Little Bubble on the ground, I immediately began to look around. Its big shiny eyes seemed to be looking for something, and then finally locked on to my target: it was emitting a faint light. Aurelia, who was slowly floating, appeared not far behind everyone.
Little Bubble recognized this vague "Sister Kite" at a glance, and immediately ran over cheering. It was so fast that I couldn't even react. When I turned my head, Little Bubbles was already hanging on Aurelia like an octopus, muttering quickly, Ji Shanshan kept rolling her eyes beside her, occasionally looking at Aurelia with hostile eyes , and Alleria, who was entangled by Little Bubbles, seemed to shrug her shoulders. I think she must be very embarrassed now—especially when Little Bubbles suddenly pulled out a ball of rope to tie Aurelia's waist, Miss Kite was absolutely embarrassed.
"I have no objection to anything else. But let's forget about the rope?" Alleria gently pressed Little Bubble's head, and said in a troubled and gentle tone. This was the first time she spoke after appearing in front of everyone, immediately. The people around were stunned.
Of course, Little Bubbles was still persistently trying to put the rope on "Sister Kite", her reflex arc was a bit longer, and it took five seconds for her to react, she bit her finger and looked at the angel in front of her in confusion, and said "Oh? "Sound.
"You can talk!" Xiaoxue jumped out first, pointing at Aurelia, "So you recovered here?"
As soon as I said this sentence, I could hear other meanings in it: the future Xiaoxue definitely knew Aurelia, but this girl was very tight-lipped a few days ago and didn't say a word!
"You seem to have known that I would recover?" Alleria looked curiously at the girl in front of her who was five or six points like Lin Xue, but more lively, "Ah, I remembered, you are Lei... Lin Xue daughter."
"Xiaoxue's situation is quite complicated to explain, and I'll tell you when I have a chance," I said to Aurelia, then suddenly remembered something, and looked at her still blurred face strangely, "By the way... you are Aurelia now Liya, the kite from before... ahem, I mean, do you still keep the memory of the time when you were insane?"
This question is very important. Not only is Little Bubbles most concerned about this, but I can't ignore it. Even though the silly kite angel before had no sense at all and had very little communication with us, after all, we spent many days together day and night. She charged her batteries, taught her to walk, tried to talk again and again, watched Little Bubbles lead her around the house... Well, these memories may not be very good for Alleria herself, but I can't let go of them. After all, raising a kitten and puppy has feelings. Is the kite angel still there? After Alleria woke up, did the angel kite disappear
Thinking about this terrible assumption made me uneasy.
Alleria was floating in the air with the little bubble in her arms, and she seemed to cast a gentle and smiling gaze from that blurred face. Although I couldn't see it clearly, I felt that gaze must exist. She looked at it With the rope in his hand, Little Bubble said slowly: "Thank you for replenishing my energy every day, although it is useless except to shine, and thank you for your daughter who accompany me every day, even though I tied a rope."
"She was the first to tie you up," I pointed at Lin Xue without hesitation, "At that time I still had a headache, how could I bring you back?"
Now I am relieved, that silly kite has not disappeared. She is the thought body that Aurelia split off back then, and now it is just reintegrated with the mother body. Her memory is still there, but she has become an Ou A part of Leilia's memory, although she may never have the opportunity to teach a kite angel to nod and shake her head with great fun, although she may never have the opportunity again The body has not disappeared, and I am already very satisfied.
"It's such a long-lost view..." Alleria hugged Little Bubbles, lightly waved her wings and rose into the air, slowly looked around the surrounding buildings, and said with a sigh before landing on the ground after a long time, "Up to now How long has it been?"
"It's been a long time," I didn't know where to start for a while, and I continued after organizing my words, "You know, the time in the void is not equal. According to the largest scale that has been measured, the old empire has collapsed by hundreds of thousands. years, but the new empire has recalibrated the time scale and connection points of each world, and now in our history, the collapse of the old empire was between 60,000 and 70,000 years ago... "
"That's right," Alleria said softly, "but time has no meaning. In a closed system, time is only a valid definition within the system. For two worlds with independent time axes , There is no difference between one second and ten thousand years... Ah, you just mentioned the New Empire? So the situation is better than I expected, can you tell me what the outside world looks like now?"
Alleria "watched" us, seemingly expectantly.
(Secondly, is there a monthly pass for those who celebrate the Chinese New Year?) RQ
