Xyrin Empire

Chapter 1126: Shadow City was not built in a day

Views:

There is a silver-white pyramid building in the center of the Forgotten Garden, which is the Xiling brood we are using now. Different from the Xiling brood that you usually see, the appearance of this pyramid building does not have those alloy shells full of high-tech textures and sharp and straight energy veins. It looks more like a religious art The product is divided into upper and lower parts, the upper part occupies two-thirds of the height, and is extremely clean. Under the reflection of skylight, its reflectivity is constantly changing, and it looks like a layer of living scroll floating on the surface. The lower part occupies one-third of the height of the entire pyramid, and its surface is decorated with complex golden reliefs and runes—but they are not decorations, but some functional facilities of the pyramid. I only know that they are related to energy collection and recycling. It is related to things like utilization. A significant difference between the mysterious side and the technology side in terms of energy usage technology is that the latter relies on the "Paswell Psionic Energy Recharging System" to collect and recycle the energy field in the building complex, while the former It is customary to cover the surface of each building with simple and easy-to-replace runes to distribute this work to the entire base. Therefore, compared to the buildings on the technology side, the mysterious facilities built by the Xiling apostles always look better. Prettier: at least they have a lot of wonderful "patterns" on the surface.

This brand new building was designed and built by Aurelia in the past few days for Bubbles. It is essentially a brood, but it uses mysterious peripherals so that it can directly use the Forgotten Garden building. The group's data port. In the crystal halls at the heart of the hive. Bubbles and Little Bubbles are ready, here are two identical crystal prisms placed side by side, inside are the strange pair of "mother and daughter". Among them, Bubble has been working inside for several days, while Little Bubble just connected to the line a few minutes ago. Now the latter is patting the crystal wall in front of him curiously, and then looking at the people standing outside, he is very happy. To cluck straight music.

"Are you sure Little Bubbles won't mess it up?" when the hard-working staff of Aurelia and Odysseus (how did I pop that word out of nowhere?) went to check the conversion device , Bingtis touched my arm worriedly. "My concubine sees that the thing she wants to do most now is to knock out a piece of her mainframe slot and take it home..."

"It's fine after connecting," Sandora explained to Bingtis, "The personality of Xiling's host will not affect the work status. Don't look at Little Bubbles, she has also performed many tasks."

"Everything is normal, the conversion stability value is in the most ideal range," Alleria flew out from the lattice room next to her. Falling behind us, "The hybrid Xiling apostle who accepts the advanced connection is also ready. Follow Her Majesty Sandora's suggestion. Let them lie obediently in the enlarged node cabin without executing any additional thinking commands."

Sandora lightly touched the crystal panel in front of her. Accompanied by an almost indiscernible "sizzling" sound, a group of holographic projections immediately appeared in front of everyone, and the image of Sivis was displayed in the center. Behind Sivis, hundreds of crystal prisms can be seen neatly arranged. The venerable female adjutant reported before I could open my mouth: "Your Majesty, the host array of Shadow City is ready, and all commanders who need to accept advanced connections have also synchronized with the amplification nodes."

"My daughter and I are fine." Not far from the front left, Bubble in the crystal prism suddenly opened his eyes. Immediately, her voice came from all directions in the brood hall, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the entire crystal hall was lit up with bits and pieces of light, and little Bubbles jumped up and down happily in her host slot, and Bubble endured He couldn't help but glance at his daughter, with a helpless expression on his face, "I'll synchronize with her first, otherwise this child will tear down this place."

As soon as the voice fell, Bubble and Little Bubble quieted down at the same time, especially the latter, the change was particularly obvious. A second ago, he was jumping up and down like a restless little monkey, but now he has closed his eyes like a deep sleep Beauty, only spiritual connection The "咕哭咒咒" in the public channel lasts for a long time, reverberating everywhere...

"Five minutes to prepare for the Death Garden."

I looked at the timing numbers on the control panel and connected with Tavel. The other party is now in the control center of the Death Garden. Take care of everything. From our place, we can clearly see the situation in the opposite control hall. There are white-clothed technicians standing in front of the neatly arranged monitoring and control terminals at all levels. Everyone is like a static statue waiting for the final order. Although I always I can’t remember the names of the large number of research team members, but I can name everyone in the control hall in the picture. From left to right, they are Tavel, Tavel, Tavel, Tavel, Tavel and Tavel... Of course the same goes from right to left.

Tavel's main body led her hundreds of mass projections to occupy the entire control hall, and her assistant team was operating peripheral equipment outside. Standing in the center of the screen is of course Tavel himself, her expression is full of confidence: "The five-minute countdown of the system begins."

Although I am used to the scene of this technician sister with outstanding combat effectiveness (in various senses) relying on a large group of quality projections to do a lot of work on weekdays, the visual impact of such a large group of Tavel standing together is still quite large , I almost looked at the Tavel army behind him with admiration, then nodded and said: "The first task is to ensure the safety of the two worlds. Neither Sandora nor I require you to succeed once, but No loss will be tolerated."

Tavel smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, please believe in my calculation, it will succeed once, reason..."

Sandora and I said in unison: "There is no need to say the second half of the sentence!"

Well, if this sister's mantra is used at this time, it is really not auspicious...

"The final execution order of the Death Garden has been confirmed, and the system starts a one-minute countdown," a soft and calm synthesized voice sounded in the hall, "Shadow City's host array is connected normally, and the grid connection is normal. Preliminary data has begun to be input into the stack area... Xinxiang host unit The connection is normal, the grid connection is normal, and the preliminary data starts to be input into the stack area... All the information amplification nodes are called in sequence, one hundred and sixty-seven login key keys are registered, and the key pre-reading is completed... The startup code verification of the death garden is completed, and the system starts Fifteen-second countdown, all operations are irreversible... The system starts a ten-second countdown, nine, eight, seven... three, two, one—run."

Suddenly, there was a ringing sound in the crystal hall that kept raising the pitch, and soon turned into a series of continuous, rhythmic resonance sounds. This sound seemed to be knocking a tuning fork in the long and narrow corridor. Sound unique to power operation. The crystal prism where Bubble and Little Bubble are located continuously raised layers of gorgeous halos from bottom to top, and these halos were produced under their feet. Gathered over their heads again. As if doing a full-body scan, this process lasted for nearly ten minutes before it slowly eased down again. The continuous beeping in the hall turned into a low and soft sound of equipment running, and the halos on the two maternal Xiling hosts were still there. In, but no longer moving fast. What happened here is the only thing we can see directly. As for the situation in other places, we can only see it through the holographic projection in front of Sandora. There are no alarm messages and everything is running smoothly.

"The system is normal. Switch to pure logic mode as planned," Bubble's voice echoed in the hall. It has changed from that kind of lively loli voice to an inorganic stiff and flat tone, "The calculation load is 80%, the estimated completion time is temporarily unknown, and we are going to start the brood backup cooling system."

Following Bubbles, the voice of Little Bubbles also appeared on the broadcast in the crystal hall: "Goo, gurg, gurg..."

Me: "..." Do you know how creepy it is to read a series of unknown notes with the same tone

"I'll leave it to you here." Although I knew that Bubble's current state would no longer respond to me with the dumbfounding "enthusiasm" as usual, I still looked at the crystal prism in front of me and said with a smile, the prism The little girl in the middle opened her eyes in response, and replied in an inorganic tone: "The load of this machine is 80%, and the load of the whole unit is 82.5%. The task can be successfully completed."

The lifting of the conceptual separation and the merging of the two worlds can be completed in a split second, but before that it takes about a day to redefine and compile all the information involved, as if two countries merged into one, in There may be only one moment recorded in the history books: in XX AD, the two countries merged into one. But in real history, this process may have gone through hundreds of years of running-in and conflicts, and there are too many things that need to be adjusted.

But for the two parent stars that have been apart for tens of thousands of years, this mere one-day wait is nothing.

Due to the increasing load on the system, Bubble finally even adjusted the logical response to the lowest level, no longer responding to all communication requests except for direct commands, and this newly built brood also opened up all additional channels for energy release And the cooling device, when we left the brood an hour later, this building had used more than 30% of the energy ratio of the entire Forgotten Garden, and this is still a part of the whole system with a lighter task, by It can be seen from this that this joint system that spans two worlds and consists of hundreds of Xiling hosts, a set of death gardens, and the spiritual network of hundreds of high-level apostles is undergoing a huge project—perhaps in the era of the old empire, Combined operations of a similar scale are not uncommon, but in the New Empire, this is indeed a first.

Thankfully, the first attempt so far has gone as expected.

"The unit's load is already 90%," Sandora also connected herself directly to the brood to monitor the working status of Bubbles and Little Bubbles at any time, and at the same time, she can use her spare computing power , when we returned to a temporary command post near the nest in the Forgotten Garden, she said, "That girl is very busy this time. It is not easy to put such a high load on a host host. Normally, she has the highest load. I have never used more than 80% of my calculations."

"Wow, the bubble is so powerful." I was a little surprised, but at the same time I was a little worried, "Is there any problem?"

"The computing power is sufficient, the information exchange has entered a stable state, there will be no more big fluctuations, and Gaia is also online, and she uses all her free memory to serve as a redundant stack area for the entire network," Sandora said. Tapping his forehead lightly, "In addition, there are a large number of Xiling apostles on the outer edge of the network using their spare resources to provide auxiliary computing for the hosts. This network has a very strong fault tolerance rate. Not to mention...we also have prophets. "

After Sandora's voice fell, I couldn't help but glanced to the side. Lin Xue was lying lazily on the couch with her eyes closed. She seemed to be dozing off, but she could vaguely see some The white halo is flowing. Just like every key operation in the past, Miss Prophet has to escort the entire operation. In fact, even the moment when the Death Garden was activated before was the "good day and auspicious time" that the lady repeatedly confirmed. Nothing can go wrong.

The temporary command post is a typical imperial mystery building. In the middle and upper part, there are several terraces facing the sky. Because I have nothing to do for the time being, I went to the highest terrace and looked at the buildings in the clouds covered by clouds and mist.

Although there is a system behind him that is so huge that ordinary people can't imagine it is running at full capacity, and its data throughput will exceed the sum of all the information that some ordinary civilizations can create from birth to extinction in a second, but in this system In the world outside, everything is still so peaceful. The space that has been renamed "Kingdom of Gods" is so quiet that even the sound of the wind is barely audible. It's as if the things I activated before were all an illusion. However, great changes in the world are actually taking place. Right around me, everything I can see is being recalculated. The basic mathematical laws they execute are deduced by the brood shrouded in light not far away. After adding additional information, Reinject into this world through the garden of death, so the "world view" of the whole world will quietly change without your awareness. I don't know when this is all done. Will there be even the slightest change in the appearance of the heavenly city in front of my eyes, but it is certain. For many people around me, their world is about to be turned upside down. It's like you always thought that you were an orphan who was left in an orphanage by no one to make a living. I suddenly learned that I have at least two hundred relatives scattered all over the world, and you have at least three oil fields in Saudi Arabia. You said that your world can not be turned upside down... Well, I will stop thinking about it at this time .

"It looks so deserted." When I was in a daze, a dull soft voice suddenly sounded in my ear. I turned my head and saw that Alaya landed on the terrace at some point, and behind her was always Aurelia, the sister of the kite that floats indistinctly. The former looked at the street below in a daze, with a bit of disappointment in his tone. Those wide pure white trails, promenades decorated with gold and crystal, huge towers, and the cities in the sky, almost empty of people in this grand building complex, but they must have been very lively back then, Perhaps you can see angels flying around or hanging on the walls, spellcaster troops marching in formation, and imperial warriors in every corner of the city. They live, live, and gather in these magnificent buildings bustlingly, Shouting the slogan of the empire, always ready to go out and knock out so-and-so's brains... Although some strange things were mixed in, it was such a lively and prosperous scene.

But now, here is like an empty city. Although all the buildings are still glamorous, even except in the world of gods and fairy tales, you can no longer find a magnificent city that can be compared with this place, but it is still lifeless. In the entire Celestial City, apart from our family, there are only 300 senior Xiling officers, and a small half of them are still lying in the dormant cabin; Count those golems and elemental guards, but the entire Celestial City is composed of the surviving facilities on all the imperial colony planets in the former home planet and the capital universe. Think about how big the per capita area of this place can be Well, with you as the center of the circle, if you run out of gas in a Xiali, you may not be able to meet the second one who can walk upright...

"It will be fine soon. Wasn't Shadow City empty at the beginning?" I smiled, and couldn't help reaching out to pinch Alaya's wings. Thinking of the scene of the Shadow City back then, I really feel a little lamented that time flies, and the sea has changed. The original Shadow City is the same as the current Celestial City, even more desolate than this place. There is only one lonely ghost city in the huge dark space. , At that time, there were only 300 commanders around me in the whole world. The Shadow City was basically just like its name, an empty city accompanied by only lonely shadows. Now, four years have passed, who would have thought that the empty city back then would become thousands of How about the hub of tens of thousands of worlds, called the "Emperor Capital" and "Miracle Capital" by countless people in the macro world? Such a huge change and rapid progress is probably a miracle that only a race with unprecedented efficiency like the Xiling Apostle can create. Alaya showed a bright smile on his face, and nodded happily to me, pointing to the sea of clouds in the distance: "Brother Monarch, we will make this place as prosperous as Shadow City, for sure! Right?"

"Aurelia, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

I caressed Alaya's wings twice, and noticed that the kite angel Alleria, who had been silent since just now, seemed to be "looking" at me, so I couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just...unexpected," Alleria's voice seemed different today, "You are too special, not quite like the king in my impression..."

"Yeah," I laughed, "I know. From your point of view, do you think I'm qualified?" RQ
