"The critical point has been safely crossed, the ship has entered the energy storm zone, and the security control level in the ship has returned to normal."
Following the steady broadcast of the shipboard host, we left the gate of the abyss, which was once used as a deep diving port by the old empire, and embarked on the road to join the large forces. Because there are not many things to pay attention to in person, so everyone simply stays in the laboratory. Work in the lab was suspended for a while when the tipping point was crossed, and now it's restarting, the technicians are busy establishing a dialogue with that ancient autonomous machine, and we are busy watching them establish a dialogue.
This self-discipline machine with a history of tens of thousands of years and incredible experience is now the focus of attention. I even think its deeds can be written into the textbooks of the Imperial Military Academy: Unknowingly cheap equipment, but it does what the best soldiers do. Without the solitary efforts of this self-discipline machine for tens of thousands of years, the last fragment of the universe would have already dissipated into the void, and our gains today would be even more impossible to talk about.
"Let me stand in awe, a robot is so loyal." Bingtis murmured, "Enough loyalty" is probably the highest evaluation in her mouth.
"Ah Jun, how will we arrange it in the future?" Qianqian nodded and dangled there with one foot, looking like she couldn't be quiet for a moment anyway, she looked at the self-discipline machine that was full of pipelines and was undergoing system inspection , seemed particularly concerned, "How should it be counted? Veterans? Veterans with military exploits? Citizens? Or something else? I always feel that I should be rewarded for doing such a remarkable thing."
"How to arrange it..." I thought for a while, my eyes suddenly fell on the data terminal next to me, and I smiled slightly, "Well, it seems that it has already made a choice—look at that."
The data terminal next to it shows what the other party "said" after establishing a connection with that ancient self-discipline machine: "The system self-inspection is completed, the reset is complete, and the receiving personnel are confirmed to be in place, and the work status is being uploaded... the work status has been uploaded .The state of the machine is normal, and the application can be returned to work.”
"Probably for such an autonomous machine, continuing to work is the best reward," I smiled slightly, "give it to Gaia when you go back, there are groups of autonomous machines around Gaia, she She is almost becoming the mother of self-discipline machines, and I believe Gaia knows how to take care of her own 'children'."
"Yes, your will." The person in charge of the laboratory immediately responded with a serious salute.
In general, we have gained a lot from our visit this time. The information about the old empire's deep-dive plan has always been the most urgent thing we need, whether it is the technical information of the deep-dive back then, or some implementation details of the deep-dive operation. , should be able to make Tavel excited for a few days. Especially this time we also found out about EN-166. The existence of EN-166 means that one of the biggest mysteries of the moment-the origin of the Fourth Civilization and their relationship with the old empire-has made great progress,"Bridge "The operation finally proved that the old empire and the civilization of the "opposite bank" were carried out simultaneously, and the entire deep-diving plan may even revolve around "bridge building". The old empire and the civilization on the other side have made many attempts at dialogue, and definitely found some way to exchange information with each other: although the timeliness of this exchange may be poor, it is obvious that the two sides have exchanged part of the information. And the civilization on the other side also sent a stone to the old empire. Although it looks like an ordinary space mineral, EN-166 has a great possibility to contain a deeper meaning. We collected a lot of weathered dust from the workstation, and some of it was weathered. The dust has been sent to the material analysis laboratory for preliminary determination, and indeed found some missing physical properties, or "incompatible" components with the order world, so it is basically certain that fragments of EN-166 are mixed in it, so I think one of the biggest gains from our trip was the hundreds of catties of sand—although they made Xiaoxue's face darken for a long time, and she kept saying "I hate my father the most" until I got home.
Another harvest is the suppression towers originally installed by the old empire, which can undoubtedly make our deep diving technology a big step forward. After the prototype ship of the deep diving ship, another batch of prototype equipment harvested by the new empire, even if their value is not It was no small surprise that the deep diving ship was big. I guess if the Fallen Apostles know about it, they will definitely be willing to use a fleet to snatch this thing from us.
The small fleet consisting of three scientific research ships and some auxiliary ships left the wreckage of the world smoothly. Soon, everyone returned to the bridge of the Admiral Empire. It seemed that everything was normal outside, and the fallen apostles did not appear Trouble: This operation was really smooth and a bit unexpected.
I'm used to those grandchildren jumping out every now and then and stabbing me...
Shaking my head, I temporarily put aside the disturbing matter of the fallen apostle, and then glanced casually, and a figure that was almost forgotten by everyone appeared in front of me: in front of the communicator on the bridge officer platform, a A young man with a face full of excitement and dancing, he is wearing a gorgeous and stylish armor, with an evil face that can be used to swipe a credit card to become the richest man in the world, talking endlessly to the communicator in front of him, he looks like he is talking I was very excited, but there was no sound: I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have shielded him from the communicator with a sound insulation field.
"That... still talking..." Qianqian grabbed my arm, rubbed it back carefully, and said in a low voice, as if afraid of attracting the attention of the humanoid RAP machine in front.
I stared dumbfounded at the scene not far away, and reached out to poke the father beside me: "Then what, Xingchen, we have been out for almost a day... Have you ever tried how long that guy can talk? "
Father God's mouth twitched: "In your place, do you dare to try? Can you find someone who dares to try?"
"... That's right, don't say anything, stop him quickly."
Father God shrugged and stepped forward to tear off the sound insulation field, and immediately the voice of the highest dragon god came gushing: "...that is really the best food I have ever eaten. A plant called Ai Kecao squeezes out the juice, and after fermentation, it is used as cooking wine to stew meat. The rest of the seasoning is only salt, and it can make such delicious things—by the way, when it comes to salt, it is said that in some places it is It can be used as currency, and you can buy things directly with salt—by the way, let me tell you about the development history of several common currencies. When it comes to the history of currency development, I have to mention history. I have the impression that one of my disciples is a great historian, and he is very good at making stewed meat... Do you know the 496 ways to make stewed meat? One of them must be made in an iron container... Hey, Father God, you are back? Great, I was talking about the exciting part, let me tell you from the beginning, starting from that expedition 63 million years ago... Eh wait! No... Boss What are you doing... wait, let me go! What did I do wrong! Why woo woo woo... "
Father God stuffed the Supreme Dragon God into a cage of light overflowing with radiance, and carefully put on several layers of sound-proof barriers, and then handed this thing to the God next to him: "Take it back, and cast a layer on the outside. Astrostone, buried at the bottom of Lake Ironia."
The Congshen was stunned for a moment, with a struggling expression on his face. He seemed to think that this kind of treatment was a bit too cruel. He didn't believe that the highest dragon god would be buried at the bottom of the lake from now on, so he hesitated and confirmed with Father God : "Master, it's buried so shallow, will it come out early?"
Me: "..." This TM is the power to add insult to injury! The previous insults were weak, but the real insult is to pour aqua regia into buckets after pushing people down
"You don't know how to dig deeper, as long as you don't dig too deep and penetrate the continent." Father God waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to report such a simple matter, and then shrugged awkwardly with me: "I'm laughing, you shouldn't have to dig the land before you leave." This guy was brought out, mainly because of the strong application of the Brilliant Court, asking me to take him out... "
Immediately I felt the same way, and couldn't help turning my head to look at the fleet dispatching bar next to it. There was a mighty and mighty Chinese character face shining on it, so I felt sorry for him: "Understood, we also have a team that was strongly applied by colleagues. Bring it out."
"Heh... heh," Father God laughed dryly, "I'm much more balanced..."
"Hey, second lunatic, are you alive?" I came to the communication station, the device was still on, but what was displayed on it was not a commander's portrait, but a silver-white ball: Warsong, as a ship The AI of the battleship, the avatar of the 250 mainframe is of course an egg.
"Well, and then?" A dry sentence came from the opposite side of the communicator.
Me: "? What did you say?"
"Well, what then?" Two hundred and five's voice sounded again, like a repeater.
Me: "... auto-reply?"
"Well, what then?"
Everyone: "..."
I couldn't laugh or cry, as soon as I waved, Viska jumped over knowingly, Maotong Loli kicked the communicator hard, and shouted: "Hey! Adjutant!"
"Well, then... ah!? The voice of the general! Your Excellency, you are back!?" With this pleasantly surprised voice, the head of the silver-white star warship on the communicator immediately lit up, as if it was a fake corpse, "That Silly X left?"
"I thought it was an automatic reply," I was suddenly happy, "Is it a conditioned reflex that has been brainwashed for a long time?"
The opposite side of the communicator fell into a strange silence. This time, the second lunatic did not burst out a bunch of foul language immediately this time, but said slowly after a while of silence: "Tell me, what's wrong with this ship? Is this ship changed? Can't you?"
Me: "..." I was really speechless this time, this mighty and domineering man rushed straight to Xiaohan, and the amount of sand in one sentence was enough to screen the gang of labor reformers in Changping for half a year. ... unexpectedly soft
"Since the first sentence, he hasn't taken a breath, do you believe it?" The madman AI only said one sentence quietly, and blocked the thousands of words in my heart. Shangxintou: It seems that I have really underestimated the fighting power of the broken-mouthed dragon god. How can a fierce character who can make a good-hearted man like Father God make up his mind to cast iron and seal the corpse into the lake? The second lunatic can handle it, and from the limp voice of the lunatic AI, I knew that she might be seriously injured this time.
I patted the control panel in front of the communicator with emotion, as if this could provide some comfort to the warship with a radius of more than 7,000 kilometers: "Then what, do you want to say something now?"
"… Silence is gold."
"...Take good care of the second lunatic, don't let her be overwhelmed with gravitational gravitas." I patted Viska on the head and left her in front of the communicator, "I'm going to chat with Father God."
"You don't look good," Father God said curiously when he saw me shaking my arms, "Is Qian Yuhao arguing with you?"
"No, I'm just sighing, it's nothing to be mentally ill, but it's ruthless to be able to describe neuropathy as neurasthenia!"
Father God: "?"
"Don't talk about this, the business here is over, but we have to leave for a while," I sat down on the seat next to me, and took out the jingle to let the little guy move around: she ate and slept all day It seems that it has almost degenerated into a perennial herbaceous plant, "We removed nearly one-third of the suppression tower and took away the last engineering robot. The suppression system of the abyss gate is out of control, I'm afraid It won’t be long before it collapses, and the lifespan with the wreckage of this world will come to an end. Before I leave, I plan to use it as a small gift for the fallen apostles—the grandchildren have been throwing things at me from time to time since the star ring fragments, Right now near their border, I intend to throw this fragment of the world into their territory."
"Aren't they on the side of the abyss? You use the gate of the abyss to deal with them?"
It seems that Father God doesn't have a deep understanding of the fallen apostles. He probably thought that the use of the power of the abyss by the fallen apostles is of the same nature as those "things" in the gate of the abyss, so he asked strangely.
"I didn't expect it at first, but the fallen apostles will actually be affected by the abyss." I turned my head and glanced at Viska, who was gesturing in front of the communicator to communicate with his madman AI. There are some subordinates who were originally in the camp of the fallen apostles, and they brought a lot of great information. The fallen apostles have the nature of the abyss, and their weapons are similarly corrosive, but the nature of the power of the abyss on them seems to be neutralizing Afterwards: Infectious and highly destructive, but also rational. Such fallen apostles will also be hurt when facing the pure abyss of origin. Of course, their resistance to this must be stronger than ordinary creatures , to what extent it can be achieved, has not yet been studied clearly. If an abyss gate is thrown into their territory, it will probably cause them a lot of trouble."
Father God lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he broke the silence: "In this way, an unprecedented 'unique environment' should have formed in the Fallen Apostles."
"Huh?" I looked at Father God puzzled, he seemed to have something to say.
"Maybe it's a fan of the authorities. To you, the Fallen Apostles are just a new camp created after your compatriots rebelled, but in my eyes, they are a brand-new higher class that will never be produced through natural conditions and the general law of creation." Creatures," Father God said slowly, "Yes, I regard the fallen apostles as a new species, and this new species has a racial nature that is unimaginable in the world of order: abyss affinity, they are rational and reflective at the same time. There are two characteristics of order. And such a new species will definitely have a lot of troubles to survive in a normal world of order."
"Oh, that's true," I nodded immediately, "Except for a small number of 'cleaners' who are less infected or have been specially purified by me, most of the abyssalized fleets will be stationed in special places. They have A strange characteristic is that the greater the number and the denser the individuals, the more chaotic the area they are in will be, but it is not the extreme chaos and destruction like the abyss, but... all kinds of bizarre phenomena emerge one after another. But this doesn't seem to have any effect on the Fallen Apostle itself."
"That's it. If they gather together in large quantities for a long time, they need a special environment," Father God nodded, "or create a special environment by yourself, even though your abyssalized fleets are no longer infected. nature, but it does not mean that they do not have 'radiation'. It can be imagined that the territory of the fallen apostles should also be a special area that we have not seen, and the further they go to the hinterland of their territory, the more serious this mutation will be, until …the world they live in is completely distorted to the point where it doesn't fit in with the orderly world."
I thought for a while, then turned my head to greet a certain extra-large brat who was whispering to Qianqian: "Xiaoxue, come here."
Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at me from a distance: "What are you doing?"
The kid is still mad at me for sending her to dig the sand.
"Come here if I tell you to come here, why so much nonsense, don't you want pocket money next week?"
As soon as this remark had an obvious effect, Xiaoxue rushed over like a puppy who saw a bone: "Dad, tell me, do you want my nude photos or mine?"
I:"… "
Father God: "... who will bring up this child in the future?"
Me: "Anyway, at least including the one you just ordered to sink into the lake."
"I'm not joking with you anymore, I'm asking you about business. You stayed in the land of the fallen apostles for a while, and you went deep into their hinterland. The world deep inside the land of the fallen apostles is different from the outer world, right? What is that place? like?"
Our knowledge of the fallen apostles' territory is limited, at most we have been in contact with their border world, and Xiaoxue is the only one who has stayed in the hinterland of that abyssal empire—this brat has made great achievements—so I think she should know something.
So Xiaoxue told us her great actions back then, this time focusing on the world environment in the Fallen Apostles, and the result—completely confirmed Father God's conjecture.
"I thought that the fallen apostles lived in the pure abyss environment, but now everything is clear," Father God said slowly, "They cannot contact the pure abyss, nor can they operate normally in the world of order. Therefore, their territory hinterland is A state between the world of order and the realm of the abyss."
"Then so what?" I asked in puzzlement. The conclusions drawn by Father God are actually not difficult to speculate. Put this point emphatically, is there any mystery in it
Father God looked into my eyes and reminded me a little: "Do you remember that the fallen apostles have a 'great cause'?"
