"Substances from my hometown?"
I seem to have heard a rather incomprehensible statement, and I couldn't help looking at Tavel curiously: "Where is it? The previous fifteen-day zone?"
Tavel and Sivis couldn't help showing helpless expressions at the same time: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
I chuckled dryly: "Isn't this just to adjust the atmosphere... Well, let's stop talking nonsense, what exactly do you mean?"
Sivis took a deep breath, and adjusted his mood by the way. For the first time, I saw the extremely shaken expression on the face of this female adjutant, who was always calm, and even a little doubtful about her worldview. It seemed that she herself didn't believe herself. What is about to be said: "Your Majesty, any civilization should have a birthplace. Even the Protoss and the Xiling Apostle have their original origin world. You should understand this?"
I nodded: "Well, everything returns to the mother's womb..."
Sivis: "... Your Majesty's summary is quite intuitive. That's it. In the core of this meteorite, there is a piece of material from his hometown wrapped around it. The in-depth analysis of it is not yet over. It is very likely that it just looks similar in nature. But... Theoretically, any substance in any world will have the 'registration information' of its origin. Their unique signatures can be found. Once this signature is determined, the source of the unknown material in the meteorite can be determined. Judging from the current progress, it has a very high probability of coming from the home world.”
I nodded, I know this, every elementary particle in every world bears the imprint of this world, even if this kind of elementary particle exists widely in other worlds, they can still be distinguished, this is the world information theory One of the foundations of the universe is also a "safety wall" to ensure that there are no fatal collisions between worlds in the void that are so similar that they can even be called parallel universes. It is precisely because of this that illegal crossings without normal void navigation are prohibited: Individuals who do not travel through the void will cause foreign matter (or things other than matter) to pollute other worlds after crossing the world. The underlying information of the world is like randomly decompressing a code of unknown origin into the system disk. It may be safe in the short term, but sooner or later these external sources of information will reduce the stability of the system—that is, the world.
According to the "registry" information of all things in the world, we can judge which universe a common substance comes from-even if it is widely distributed in all universes, it cannot escape the scanning of the underlying information.
"Seventy percent of its underlying information has been scanned now," Tavel looked at the meteorite sample floating on the anti-gravity platform, his eyes were extremely complicated, "Theoretically, it can be judged at this level Whether matter is the product of a certain universe. But... this is simply impossible, the home world... has already been destroyed, it is the kind of complete destruction that does not leave the slightest residue—theoretically so."
"The hometown world you are talking about..." I looked at Tavel and Sivis, and then at Sandora who was beside me with a pensive face, as if she was also quite touched, "Is it the world created by the apostles of Xiling?"
I know more or less the history of the Apostles of Xiling. This super powerful race, which is now ranked third in the void, has an unusual origin. They are not naturally produced, but created by an older and more mysterious race. . The race that created them at the beginning may only be regarded as an ordinary civilization in the eyes of today's Xiling Empire, and its technical strength is probably a little bit stronger than that of the Fiari who have just mastered the technology of void navigation, but their greatest contribution is to endow Driven by the unprecedented evolutionary ability of the first generation of Xiling Apostles and the indomitable steel will, the Xiling Apostles have reached their current heights under the impetus of these two racial advantages. Now that Sivis mentioned the hometown world, my first reaction was the place where they were created.
"When we were created, our home world was already destroyed, in theory," Tavel said slowly, "We are all newborn apostles, but some basic information about our home world is used as core memory. It is stored in the memory core of each Xiling apostle from generation to generation, so the subordinates know more or less about the situation of their hometown world. The Xiling apostle was created in the middle of the Great Escape. , that is, the Primarch, was born on a lonely doomsday ark, and that was the most critical moment for the entire civilization... "
I had heard about this history before, but I didn’t ask about it in detail at the time. Now, facing a piece of material fragments that may have come from their home world, Tavel and Sivis narrated the somewhat damaged history in the core of their memory. Come on.
The beginning of the story was long before the birth of the apostle Xiling, when the word "Xiling" was not even a meaningful word. The ancient race that originally created the Apostles of Xiling did not have a clear name at that time, and it is only now that we have given the title of "Xilingren". They began as an ordinary species, calling themselves human, exploring their own world and the stars above them, having a religion for a while, and then finding their true way among the stars: this is such a race, an ordinary , It is almost the same as the people of the macro world that we have seen. In the void, countless races are born and die every second.
The demise process of this ancient civilization and their original motives for creating the apostles of Xiling have been unable to be accurately verified over time, but according to the remaining memory fragments, Sandora and the others can be sure that the creator encountered the abyss, And the Apostles of Xiling were also created to deal with the abyss.
It's just that when the creators created the first generation of apostles, their home world was completely destroyed by the abyss.
Of course, we don’t have precise records about this point in time. Tavel just made an inference based on his own memory core: “According to the fragments in the original memory, all the information about the world of my hometown is based on files and instilled knowledge. ', which shows that the first generation of Xiling apostles can only learn about the information of their home world through learning devices. The only explanation is: when they were born, the creators had already been defeated by the abyss and began to flee. Originally The body was created on the fugitive ark."
"According to the core memory, the creators tried to create a brand new life that could resist the erosion of the abyss before escaping from their home universe. It was only then that the first generation of Xiling apostles were successfully created," Sandora took over the topic, and said slowly, "Now the original body is in our research institute, you know he is a kind of half-blood with many regrets. Mechanical creatures, but when the creators fled their homes, they couldn't even create such a primarch. When the first primarch, which can be called the apostle of Xiling, opened its eyes, the fugitive ark was already floating in the void For hundreds of years, things about the home world can only be instilled into the memory of the first generation of Xiling apostles in the form of data and concepts. This memory has been passed down for hundreds of millions of years, and it is still burning here—with all the Bone hatred." Sandora said, pointing to her chest.
"That is to say, the Apostle Xiling has never seen his hometown..." I traced this history and couldn't help but sigh.
"This is a very ironic place," Sivis sighed helplessly, "We store the information of our hometown in the deepest part of our memory, but our earliest individuals have only seen that place on the screen. We are A group of races born on the road of exile, so we are always expanding the territory of the empire... The lesson of the creator is painful, we know how fragile a universe is, so the apostles of Xiling want to let their flags occupy all worlds. This is the source Since the hereditary hatred of the abyss, it is also a subtle insecurity."
I really didn't expect that the apostles of Xiling would have such a thing as "insecurity". Their insecurity is really powerful. For this reason, they expanded their territory to one hundred and thirty in one breath in the old empire era Five sky zones, it's like worrying about not having a house to live in, and ending up covering half of the city in one go...
"No one has seen the world of the hometown, but you can tell that the thing is from the hometown?" I shook my head,
