Sometimes solving mysteries doesn't mean clearing the sky, and in this fucking reality, most of the mysteries are followed by a whole lot more dizzying stuff. When you finally crossed a big river, what you looked up was the South Pacific Ocean...
Regarding the soldier who wandered to the earth back then, we currently have the following clues: He came to the earth at least in the early days of Uruk, that is, more than 5,000 years ago (this is the earliest evidence we have ), according to the tomb found in the Taklamakan Desert that day, he died more than a thousand years ago, with a span of 3,500 to 4,000 years.
According to the records of the Sumerian clay tablets, we can know that the soldier visited the primitive planet after arriving on the earth, and based on his series of actions—teaching the natives to recognize astrology, teaching the locals to use astronomical and geological knowledge, and trying to change the local natives The text—judged that he was trying to leave some kind of mark in the earth's native civilization, as a future "beacon".
Of course, you can also guess that he just wants to be a living Lei Feng, and wants to improve the quality of life and technological level of primitive people on the earth: but this guess is obviously a bit too unreliable, and it does not conform to Sandora's understanding of her own soldiers, so We discarded this conjecture early on.
In any case, it should be right for him to want to leave a "mark", but with the power that a Xiling apostle should have, he did very badly.
If a primitive civilization is systematically guided, three thousand years is enough for the latter to master the technology of space navigation. There is a related specialized subject called "Reconstruction of Civilization System". This subject originally studied such a situation: when a civilization that originally possessed advanced technology collapses, how to recover in the shortest possible time? Here, on the premise of ensuring the healthy development of this civilization, reconstruct its technology tree. This subject is open to all students as a basic course in the Imperial Military Academy, and it belongs to one of the branch courses of "Civilization Preservation and Salvation". According to the classic cases in textbooks, this kind of civilization reconstruction can be completed in only five to ten generations of local people under extremely bad conditions (to put it bluntly, the local indigenous people have insufficient intelligence). The situation on the primitive earth is different, but the analysis method described in this course can still be partially applied, so Sandora made the inference that "the full colonization technology in the star system has been mastered in three thousand years".
As the apostle of Xiling, the soldier should of course know this, but the guidance he gave to the primitive people on the earth at that time seemed messy, and he didn't stick to it once. He didn't use the ready-made rules in the memory core at all. . Therefore, Sandora judged that the soldier's logic system might be affected by some factors, so that it could not continue to operate.
If he wanted to leave the message that "advanced civilizations have been here", the soldier has another easier way, which is to "carve a mark" directly on the earth. Although an ordinary soldier doesn't have the ability to build empire facilities, he can always punch a hole in the earth, right? Pandora put forward her opinion: If she wanted to use the power of ordinary imperial soldiers to leave a trace on a planet that lasted as long as possible, then she would dive into the Mariana Trench and bury a dozen dead Stabilizing psionic crystals, although doing so will cause the extinction of half of the species on the earth, it will permanently change the planet's landscape, leaving a trace of crustal curl that is not naturally formed at a glance, and the radiation produced by psionic crystals can On this planet for a considerable period of time, creating a swarm of alien creatures: these are "signs" that will survive for a long time, many times more effective than teaching the local primitives the stars and writing cuneiform.
But the soldier didn't do that either. From this, Sandora judged that most of the equipment on his body was also locked, and the only "light weapons" such as his own gun and small floating cannon could be used.
In any case, all we can do is guess, guess one after another, there is too little evidence at hand, not enough information, what Xiaoxue can see is not much more detailed than what is written on the clay tablet, and these guesses are intertwined into A huge ball of thread made everyone feel confused and confused.
But when everyone was trying to think about what happened to that soldier back then, I suddenly felt something moved in my heart and thought of another thing: "Sandora, do you still remember when we first met, you and your brother?" The army is stranded on a planet tainted by the abyss... ”
"Ah, of course I remember, that was the first time we met." Sandora was stunned, and immediately replied briskly. It was originally the worst period in her life: the most embarrassing moment in Princess Warsong's life. But looking back now, she already regards it as her precious memory: because it was the anniversary of my first acquaintance with her.
Of course, I'm not bringing up this topic now to reminisce with Sandora, but because I have a question that I haven't figured out for many years: "You were trapped on a primitive planet... I can understand that when the equipment is limited Moreover, it is difficult to jump out of the universe without the support of the imperial coordinate network, but you couldn't even leave that planet at that time, couldn't you? Now I have a little understanding of imperial weapons and means of war, if you could leave at that time On the current planet, setting up orbital guns and other things in space to conduct saturation bombing below, wouldn’t the battle be resolved in an instant?”
Sandora was slightly startled when she heard the words, and seemed to connect some things: "Well, you are right, if you can build space facilities, or take out the spaceship, the battle is easy to solve: in fact, my personal There are all kinds of small and medium-sized warships in the space for emergency replenishment of combat power at any time. These warships can’t play much role on a large battlefield, but they are more than enough to deal with a primitive planet.”
I know this. Every Xiling apostle will have his own aircraft in his portable space. Ordinary soldiers have individual fighters, and apostles above commanders have regular warships. Leaders like Sandora or Pandora The apostle would even stuff an entire fleet into his personal space. Back then Sandora was trapped on a primitive planet, but wasn't there a spaceship in her portable space? It stands to reason that she and her soldiers can leave the battlefield on the spot, and then simply blow up the entire planet: anyway, it has been deeply polluted, and the native civilization has long been extinct. But just like the Xiling soldier who strayed to the earth thousands of years ago, Sandora also failed to do what she should have done easily.
"It's not just about spaceships, even without spaceships, we can enter space: the apostles of Xiling can conquer the universe with their own individual power," Sandora spread her hands, "but all our equipment cannot be activated, including Most of the components in my body seem to be malfunctioning. I can’t leave the universe, I can’t build a spaceship, and I can’t even take out the large equipment in the portable space. All the aircraft are forcibly locked in the atmospheric mode, and Bubble’s construction modules are also offline. For seventy thousand years."
I turned my head to look at Bubble: she was originally Sandora's subordinate, and she was there all the time when Sandora was trapped in another world. She is an unprecedentedly powerful architectural Xiling host, and now she leads the construction of everything in the new empire, including our Kuiper belt space base and the earliest star port. But during the 70,000 years Sandora was trapped, she couldn't even build a space capsule launch tower. At the beginning, I didn't understand these things, so I didn't have too many doubts. I just thought it was a simple failure of the equipment of the Vengeance Army, but now that I think about it, it seems that Sandora's troubles back then had many unclear explanations.
"We can think of it this way: the situation of the Vengeance Army was the same as that of the Unknown Soldier who wandered to the earth. All the components of the whole body were locked, and all the equipment that could be used to escape from the current position could not be used," said the elder sister, "or in other words : As long as he is a member of the Vengeance Army, he will be locked. Although the unknown soldier was accidentally teleported to another world, the locked state of his body was also brought here, and it became more serious."
Sandora pondered: "Is the locked state... Indeed, if you think about the two things together, some problems seem to have some clues. In fact, I have never figured out what happened to the abnormal state of myself and the soldiers. I I once thought that the local abyss environment damaged our equipment, but now it seems that the trek soldier has not been released from the locked state after leaving the abyss area. This kind of lock is not from the outside, but from... "
Saying that, Sanduo stretched his hand and pressed his chest: "From the inside of the Apostle Xiling?"
No one can explain this question clearly. It was a mystery at the beginning, because there is no way to solve it at all, so we have kept this mystery until today: it is not that no one has thought of this aspect, but it is impossible to figure it out at all, so it is simply temporary. hung up. It's just that a group of clay tablets from the Mesopotamia have once again brought this mystery to everyone, and this time, the mystery seems to have been loosened a little bit: what happened to the lost soldiers explained the fact that the Vengeance Army was trapped in the first place. The reason for the alien world is not the local abyss environment, but some kind of factor in their bodies. Even if they can leave the world that traps them, they continue to be troubled by a certain abnormal state.
"And that soldier might have been killed by this 'internal cause'," Bingtis interrupted suddenly, and she pointed to the clay tablet on the coffee table, "Probably after he came to the earth, he also thought of having a relationship with us. Thinking of the same thing now, and he found that because he hastily jumped out of the universe that trapped him at the beginning, the condition in his body deteriorated rapidly, so he began to prepare for death."
With the extreme lack of evidence at hand, it is not easy to make inferences to this point, but Sandora obviously tried to speculate more: "It can now be confirmed that when I was trapped on that primitive planet, My soldiers and I are all 'locked' by something, but this kind of lock is not easy to find, it is easily covered up by the local abyss power. If we didn't find these clay tablets today, I don't know I am afraid that the soldier's actions on the earth for more than three thousand years will never be guessed, and the 'lock' at that time came from the apostle himself rather than the external environment."
I frowned. The various reasons why the Vengeance Army was trapped in a different world were basically deduced, but even if it came from the internal factors of the apostles, we don't know how it came about. It was obviously not Sandora herself who made the "lockdown" plan, so who else could do this kind of thing besides her
Trapped an Emperor Xiling and the emperor's most elite soldiers on a barbaric planet, locked all their equipment, and even locked all the functions of their own bodies—and under this premise, still It didn't hurt them at all, the strong vitality of the Xiling Apostle was still there, and Sandora didn't even realize that there was something abnormal in her body back then!
Even until just now, she guessed from the information revealed on the clay tablet that her body was once locked by "internal factors".
"This feeling sucks," Sandora said suddenly a little irritated. She rubbed her forehead vigorously, as if she was going to rub out the things that bothered her. "I feel that something is wrong with my body, but I don't know Where is the cause of the disease... I still have to go for a comprehensive inspection? If I don't find out what is the 'lock' on me and those soldiers, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat safely."
In fact, I want to say that it has been several years anyway, maybe the "thing" that caused the Avengers to be locked as a whole has dissipated long ago, but after thinking about it, I found that I can't use such a reason to make myself feel at ease : In any case, Sandora and her soldiers encountered a "fault" inside the body at a certain period in the past. Even if it seems to be "healed" now, as long as I can't figure out what's going on for a day, I will feel sorry for myself. nowhere...
"Maybe we can change the direction," the elder sister said suddenly, "regardless of how this 'locking' came about, let's think about what it is useful for. Sandora, do you think that if the revenge army hadn't been 'locked' back then? In that world, what will happen?"
"Of course we have already dealt with the local abyss pollution, and then left that ghostly place," Sandora said naturally, "Even if the old empire collapsed and lost the support of the home planet, the army I had at that time was enough to destroy that scale. The abyss is polluted, and there is Bubble beside me, she can build a world gate from scratch in a short time... "
"And then?" My sister suddenly interrupted Sandora and asked seriously.
Sandora fell silent for a while, and after a while, she said in a low voice: "... I will return to the empire as soon as possible to check what happened."
"Then the revenge army will all be lost in the remaining abyss environment in the old empire," Bingtis took a breath, this female hooligan who has never been fearless is also aware of the chilling possibility at this moment, " Covering more than 100 sky areas, the abyss environment has almost no boundaries... When the old empire first collapsed, the abyss polluted area was even larger than it is now. I bet even the ace of the gods would not dare to plunge into that ghostly place, Shan Dora, if you really led your remnants back to China back then, you would never come back!"
"Could it be that this 'locked state' saved my life?" Sandora shook her head in disbelief, "From the results, it is indeed the case, but this guess is a bit reluctant, it is very likely that this 'locked state' is just It just accidentally protected the Vengeance Army, theoretically it shouldn't have any motives!"
"Indeed, if you only have one side of the experience, my guess is difficult to establish, but I think there is another piece of evidence here, which is very strong." My sister raised her finger and pointed to the clay tablet on the coffee table, "Look, when you lost your way to The soldier on Earth suffered significantly more 'locked' than you, and he may even have died in this state in the end. This shows that the 'power' that prevents the Avengers from leaving will change in intensity according to the situation, and it prevents you Returning to the Empire, with a stricter ban on returning soldiers who have already left, sounds a bit like…”
"It's a bit like a way to deal with the plague," Bingtis snapped his fingers, "First draw a safe zone, and then protect the uninfected people and strictly prohibit them from going out. This kind of prohibition can be said to be relatively mild: just not You are only allowed to go out. But if someone has successfully escaped, then he will face much more severe measures if he wants to come back: kill him on the spot. The state of the revenge army at that time was like being placed in a safe zone, you and All the connections between the old empires, including the spiritual connection, have been cut off. For the abyss, this is a perfect barrier. And the soldier who accidentally escaped from the world is a suspected potential danger to the "plague protection system". Infected people. I estimate that the procedure formulated by 'someone' who created this safe zone should be quite simple, it does not have the ability to judge whether the person who is about to pass through the 'blockade zone' is infected or not, it just mechanically prevents everyone from leaving, and It is more aggressive to prevent people from entering. It can only be said that the soldier was unlucky. He accidentally left the barrier and was naturally identified as an infected person by this rigid system. When he tried to return to the main force, the barrier, or The 'lock mechanism' that caused the Avengers to be trapped made the decision to have that soldier self-destruct."
This is the final summary made by Bingtis.
Bizarre, grotesque, and unimaginable, but it perfectly fits every piece of information we have so far, and it also explains why the soldiers of the Vengeance Army who wandered to Earth died in the first place.
"Is there really such a big hidden danger for a soldier who accidentally ran out?" Qianqian scratched her hair and said a little annoyed. She might think that the "barrier" was a bit too inhuman - even though the barrier was from beginning to end. Assumed out.
"No way, in that situation back then, no matter how cautious you are," Sandora sighed, "If a soldier who ran out didn't deal with it, he might try to reconnect to the old empire's data Network, you all know how polluted that network has become. Even if only one person reconnects to the network, he can bring the plague back when he returns to the revenge army. Maybe the soldier will not die at first, but he must be Doing something that should not have triggered the execution process of the 'barrier'."
During the conversation, Sandora has fully approved the speculation about the "safety barrier".
Then there is only one question: who, made this barrier? RS
