(Ask for tickets at the beginning of the month. I didn’t notice that it’s the beginning of the month so soon.)
The book continues the above text and opens two chapters. It is said that Chen Xiaoxue, a talented girl, saw that the Lin family's house was at the foot of the mountain. It's a friend of the noble family's daughter when she was studying in that barbarian country, and I'm here to take refuge, please let me know." Seeing that the man's eyebrows were fierce, the servant didn't dare to say more, so he walked to the back hall and saw the master of the Lin family Ma'am, so-so-so-so-so-so-so-and-then that brat Chen Xiaoxue wandered around to find her mother while no one was looking.
Oh my god, it can be regarded as turning the writing style around, but the basic situation is like this...
"She said she was a classmate I met when I was studying in Bavaria! And she announced that she had a crush on Miss Ben for half a year when she was in Bavaria," Lin Xue said through gritted teeth during the spiritual connection, "Now she has caught me All female creatures in the family are called sisters—except my mother, but including me!"
Me: "...Actually, she didn't include your mother, which means she is still filial..."
"Do you believe that Miss Ben will go over and bite you even after being beaten all over the head by my father?" The eldest lady said suspiciously.
I hurriedly coughed twice: "Ahem, that child Xiaoxue is too shameful! Why is he so big or small!"
"Anyway, I know she was released by you." The eldest lady's voice sounded a little weak, so Xiaoxue must be by her side now, and all kinds of weird situations are emerging one after another. Anyway, that's also my daughter. Even if I omitted more than ten years of parenting process, I have already easily figured out the behavior pattern of that girl. She will never keep her own place with Lin Xue. It's just that Miss Lin and I are usually suppressed together, Xiaoxue is quite obedient, now only Lin Xue is alone, and that brat is still in the state of excitement of going to grandpa and grandma's house for the first time, I really can't imagine that child What's going to happen - maybe I should have let her blow up the US embassy just now...
"That's how it is. I'll watch this guy for now. Well, as long as she doesn't continue to make trouble," the eldest lady was silent for a while, probably busy to stop Xiaoxue from demolishing her house. Make a note - besides, it's not convenient for me to educate the children here, after the daughter returns, you must remember to give her a good meal!"
The eldest lady hung up the communication and continued her fiery family happiness. I turned my head and saw that the adults and children in the living room had formed a circle at some point. Basically, they are all full of anticipation-you said how bad our family is.
I told everyone about the current situation of the talented girl Chen Xiaoxue. Qianqian listened leisurely and fascinated - she likes to join in the fun, and now Lin Xuena is obviously very lively. My elder sister knocked on my head: "You were better than her when you were young."
I feel quite unconvinced. I admit that I was naughty when I was a child. After all, I used to form a duo with Qianqian in the old city, but it would be an exaggeration to say that I am like Xiaoxue. point? As a result, as soon as I asked this question, my elder sister began to recall the various pranks I did with Qianqian when I was a child. It is inconvenient to explain the specific content, anyway, even Bingtis, who dared to smash the principal's glass in front of all the teachers, was fascinated by it... Was I really that bad when I was young
At this moment. Sandora suddenly came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Ah Jun, follow me to Shadow City after dinner."
I look at Sandora. Looking at the giggling family again, he nodded slowly: It's time to work, and we still have to work.
So after lunch, instead of hanging on the balcony with Lilina for photosynthesis as before, I went to one of the lecture halls of the Shadow City Command accompanied by Sandora. Sivis and some senior officers were already in the This wait. Behind Sivis, there is a strange device that has not been seen in this lecture hall: it is a group of broken metal pieces floating in the air. The total size of the floating objects is about half a meter, and each piece of metal presents a Out of an arc, maybe they should be combined to form a rather large ring. Apart from this group of fragments, no peripheral equipment that might be related to it can be seen at the scene, indicating that this is an independent thing.
"Oh, this is a magic energy device we just restored. Its function is similar to that of a fixed portal, but the energy source is magic energy, and it supports a more 'fuzzy' operation method. This is what I will show you soon. one of the things."
Noticing the curious look on my face, Sivis first pointed to the equipment behind her and explained, and there were two words in what she said that caught my attention: "Magic energy? That is to say, the mystery system technology?"
"Yes, from the subordinate's own memory bank," Sivis smiled, "They are now extremely clear, and many principles that were originally ineffective in the real world have suddenly become available. Intuitively, the result is that the equipment you see has been successfully restored. Although it is not of much value in terms of function, it should be a milestone."
I fixedly looked at the group of metal fragments floating in mid-air, constantly dissociated or combined at random, with shiny mysterious symbols flashing on their surfaces, these symbols can magically affect the real world just by their shapes, But not long ago, it was just a bunch of garbled codes that Sivis considered wrong information... During the process of separating the concepts, I never intuitively saw any changes in the two worlds, but this thing in front of me was the only one. A "evidence" that allows people to clearly and intuitively realize that everything has happened.
"The lifting of conceptual separation cannot be observed directly with the eyes, but we must track exactly how far it can spread and what value it can bring us now," Sivis said while starting the report The projection array in the hall, a large number of charts and schematic diagrams of strange facilities and equipment appeared before our eyes. The other senior officers in the lecture hall remained solemn, but I could feel the change in the surrounding atmosphere. So even if I can't understand most of the content in the holographic projections around me, I realize that these things must be of great significance, and Sivis continues to report, "The chief technician of Tavel designed a virtual network before this, This set of network was downloaded into each hybrid Xiling apostle memory core before the concept split was lifted to track the memory changes of all people. At the same time, we monitored the central database of the empire and the information in the entire new empire spiritual network In the past twenty-four hours, all the 'basic information' has increased dramatically, and has now nearly doubled. There are a large number of unproven mathematical systems and theoretical models in the empire's territory, which appear out of thin air and can be directly used. The knowledge read by our mental network has been checked one by one, and it is confirmed that all of them conform to their self-consistent structure. That is to say, they can be transformed into actual products. The confirmation of concept separation has been lifted, and researchers are hurrying to reorganize Imperial database. Chief Tavel applied for the establishment of at least three new research groups. Simultaneously explore three directions: the system arrangement of mysterious technology, the integration of mysterious technology and the existing science and technology of the empire, and most importantly, the integration of mysterious technology The fastest way to transform technology into actual productivity and combat effectiveness."
"Agreed," Sandora made a decision after a moment of thought, but she added one more item, "However, the people from the Research Center and the Celestial City are responsible for these three groups, Alleria Odysseus , and Alaya are very suitable to lead such a job."
"Tawil has to change her habits." I laughed, "She has been researching in her own field. She doesn't know much about the technology of the mystery department. What she is going to face this time is a brand new field—she has become a apprentice."
"I believe she will do a good job," Sandora responded, "A good chief technician does not mean omniscient in many cases, but knows how to let those more professional people accomplish the team's goals .The Chief Technician is both a scientist and a team leader, much like a general.”
I looked at Sivis and said what I am most concerned about now: "Okay, let's put aside the good news for now and talk about the bad news. According to Aurelia's judgment, the lifting of the concept split will be a big issue in the whole world. Simultaneously carried out within the void, and now the magic equipment and mystic knowledge on hand have emerged, that is to say... the same is true for the fallen apostles."
"Yes," Sivis nodded, and the female adjutant with a fierce temperament also showed a dignified look at the moment, "The only advantage of the empire at present is that we have prepared a lot of idle production and production before the separation of the concept is lifted. The research team also secretly set up the experimental universe, and even if the fallen apostles are aware of all this, they will inevitably slow us down in the formation of these technologies, but this kind of advantage in preparation is limited, and once the enemy is in Attacking us during this time period and consuming our energy, the New Empire will lose the advantage gained by preparing in advance—because the New Empire lags behind the Fallen Apostles in terms of infrastructure and the number of worlds it occupies. In this regard, We can't stand consumption and twists and turns. Another thing that my subordinates want to report is this: The spy team that went to investigate the border of the Fallen Apostles has detected a world equivalent to one and a half times the territory directly under the New Empire, but it has not yet Find out where the enemy's frontier ends. The deepest part of their dark empire is hidden in the ruins of the old empire, which is full of distorted and chaotic things. Even if the enemy fleet is not blocked, it is difficult for our reconnaissance team to enter the opposite side of the barrier... "
"Wait," I couldn't help interrupting the other party, "You said, our reconnaissance troops have approached the base camp of the Fallen Apostles? How did they do it? How are the enemy's movements?"
"My lord, that is the reconnaissance unit that you personally ordered to form..." Sivis said tactfully, while calmly tidying up the commander's uniform that was already flawless, "The members are His Highness Xiaoxue from the original The elite commanders of the Legion of the Fallen Apostles who have successfully "persuaded them to surrender" know part of the border world of the Fallen Apostles, and know the enemy's action habits. They have been patrolling outside the territory of the Fallen Apostles for a long time. Seven days ago, they reached the deepest part of the void. According to the information sent back, Chief Tavel speculated that the reconnaissance team may have touched the border of the old empire, and the wreckage of those destroyed worlds formed a twisted and entangled barrier, known as the 'chaos wall' structure. Now reconnaissance Most of the team has returned, and only a few special observation ships are still monitoring a part of the known territory of the fallen apostles in a relatively safe area."
"Ahem. I know, I know," I quickly waved my hand, thinking that I should not be so confused yet, "I just didn't expect that their progress would be so great... they even touched the opponent's body right under the enemy's nose." inland."
"Actually, according to the judgment of the headquarters, the Fallen Apostles should have already noticed that there is such a group or groups of reconnaissance troops on their border," Sivis frowned, "The reconnaissance team has repeatedly discovered that the enemy is strengthening the information barrier of their border world. And Void sentry towers and parade troops have been added outside the world barrier. Because of the existence of these things, our scouting team has never been able to confirm the state of the fallen apostles, and can only roughly touch their border world location. Just like our side—in Traces of the fallen apostles' scout ships have also been found on the border of the empire, although they will be repulsed every time, but I am afraid that these 'rangers' are still watching somewhere near the border world."
I also have some understanding of these situations mentioned by Sivis. After many confrontations and even attacks on each other's homeland. The Fallen Apostles and the New Empire are no longer completely ignorant. We can detect each other's few border worlds. And each set up a scout ship outside the opponent's border. Due to the special nature of the void. It is very difficult to scan small scout ships outside the world barrier, and even if they can scan the other party, the latter can often easily hide their tracks again: just modify your "information representation" and you can instantly cross ten ships. The border of several worlds. The confrontation and confrontation in the void is such a strange state of "tacit understanding". However, the information collected by relying on these methods will not directly affect the situation. Neither the Fallen Apostles nor the New Empire will allow the enemy's scouts to detect the situation in their own world. Void scout ships can only collect the coordinates and scale of the target world, but know nothing about its internal conditions. So it's not enough to lead a war.
On the border, large and small battles take place almost every day. In most cases, the garrison of the frontier world is expelling or hunting down the spy spaceship, but the scale of this battle has never risen to the level of a fleet battle, and this dull situation has lasted for nearly a year. But I estimate that this balance is about to shake, and the reason for the shake is the sudden fusion of the parent star. The fallen apostles may have two reactions to this. The first type is that they think that they have inexplicably acquired the ability to kill all directions, and a lot of amazing knowledge fell from the sky at their hands, so they can't wait to call the door to find the New Empire to kill; the second type is that the fallen apostles will be conscious If he realizes that the great changes in his territory are related to the new empire, he must come to find out the situation no matter what. Regardless of the possibility, the two sides will inevitably have to fight again. The only difference is that the former will break out in a full-scale war, while the latter may mean a partial surprise attack. Considering that the fallen apostles are not short-sighted, I think the second possibility is very high.
Regardless of the reason why the enemy appeared on the border of the empire, it is something we don't want to see now-would you like to see a crowd of onlookers appearing at the door of your house when you hold back the technology tree
Of course, Sandora can also think of this, so while ordering to speed up the integration of new data, she also ordered to strengthen the security level on the border and make the first and second legions ready for battle at any time, but before that, We'd better figure out how to delay possible battles as long as possible - for the first time in history the New Empire has gained a slight advantage in the technology tree, but these technologies have not yet translated into actual military power, so we need time to put this advantage Expand - Expand at least one army of spellcasters to fight.
Maybe... it's time to take the initiative to create a little trouble on the enemy's border.
"We must delay the enemy's actions." Sandora and I said almost in unison, and then couldn't help but glance at each other: the two of us wanted to go together again this time.
"Is there a way for us to cause a little trouble on the enemy's border now?" I said, my eyes fell on Sandora, and she smiled at me: "You mean, disturb their sight?"
"Basically, create all kinds of false appearances, so that they can't figure out what the empire is thinking," I slowly said my thoughts, "We can harass their borders in a painless way, increase spy troops and small The number of fleets, to make the illusion of a surprise attack on a border world - of course, these illusions are easy to see through, but frequent actions like this should make the enemy confused. Now the fallen apostles are very concerned about the large number of mysteries in their territory. They should be very confused about the technical information of the department, and they should be able to associate the reasons for those things with the New Empire, but they never thought that this was done by us on our own initiative—because they are also vested interests, in other words, they don’t know what happened here. In this change, the New Empire has always been in control of the situation. So we have to make it look like we really don’t control the situation, so that the Fallen Apostles think that the New Empire is scrambling to prevent them from researching those technologies—then the Fallen Apostles will think that when these technologies appear Afterwards, they were actually the ones who took the lead... Anyway, no matter what ideas they had, they would definitely not think of attacking the empire for a while—unless more than half of the opponent’s officers are passionate and impulsive. As long as these actions are effective, the empire will have enough time to form the Legion of Spellcasters—and in secret."
In fact, my idea is very simple, that is, through deception and illusion, let the fallen apostles think that now is a good time for them to hold back the technology tree, and trick them to study those secret knowledge at home—but no matter how they study , as long as they don't come to the New Empire to harass them forcibly, their research progress must have lagged behind ours.
Sandora listened to me with a smile on her face, nodded and commented: "It is an idea that may be effective. At least for a period of time, the attention of the fallen apostles will be disturbed, and they will not think of coming to attack us for the time being. Then... the Sixth Legion , I leave this matter to you." Sandora turned her head to a tall male officer at the end of the conference table: "Your legion is an expert in dealing with the fallen apostles, go and select a group of troops that are the fastest and best at sneak attacks, All zero high-profile appearances on the enemy's border. But remember: you are not going to fight a frontal battle. All fleets are not allowed to directly attack the enemy's military stronghold. Before any operation starts, you must find a retreat route. I don't want them to be in this Too many people lost in the harassment battle. I just want them to keep showing up on the enemy's radar screen - let the fallen apostles live listening to the alarm."
