What caused the Vengeance Army to be trapped in a different world - we don't care what it is, whether it is a program or a supreme order - it is like a barrier, destroying Sandora and her soldiers from the old empire at that time Protected from the disasters of the earth.
So we finally decided to call it the "unknown barrier effect," or "barrier" for short.
This barrier looks like a cage, but its real function may also be a safety cage for tourists in the ecological park. Although you are locked inside, its function is to protect you from outside beasts. Its various locks on the Vengeance Army now seem so targeted: prohibiting the activation of cross-world equipment, this is to prevent people from returning to the abyss-contaminated area, and prohibiting communication behaviors beyond this universe, this is to prevent people from being careless Reconnect to the old empire data network and prohibit the construction of various large-scale equipment. This is to prevent the revenge army from developing a way to break the barrier-Sandora believes that if the function of the bubble is not locked at that time, then as long as there is enough mass production The host, sooner or later, she will be able to discover the abnormalities in the soldiers' bodies through massive calculations, thereby releasing the barrier. Therefore, in order to eliminate this unstable factor, the "barrier" simply locked all the functions of the Xiling host.
As for why the Vengeance Army couldn't even leave a primitive planet at that time, I think this may be caused by the setting of a certain threshold of the "barrier" too high. For absolute safety, it adjusted the degree of locking on the Vengeance Army to a very high level level, and even directly shut down the spaceflight ability of the Apostles of Xiling. This is supposed to minimize the chances of someone jumping out of the world as much as possible. There are various extreme environments in the universe. Near giant celestial bodies with highly concentrated energy and mass, the stability of space will decrease. In this distortion zone, "loopholes" leading to other worlds are easy to appear, that is, the phenomenon of space flashes. , in order to prevent the revenge army from approaching such a loophole, the barrier simply fixes everyone on a planet: this is not impossible.
Of course, if someone made such a guess before today, I would definitely think that it was because the head was squeezed by the door. The two are different. In the absence of sufficient evidence, we can only say that the locked state at that time did save Sandora, but we cannot say that the real purpose of this locked state is to protect the officers and soldiers of the Vengeance Army. But now that we have dug those clay tablets from the Mesopotamia, the situation is different.
Soldiers who jumped out of the "safe zone" were prohibited from returning, and were killed outside the barrier by a higher-level "lockdown order". This is obviously a typical measure used to fight the plague, and the "barrier conjecture" has gained the most powerful support.
"I've figured out something now," Sandora said slowly, "We used to have such a barrier in the old empire era. Build isolation belts in the abyss pollution area and place wounded soldiers inside. If any wounded soldiers accidentally escape Outside the isolation zone, we will directly send sanction drones to execute them—but this isolation zone is only used to protect the servants or local aborigines. The self-purification ability of the Xiling Apostle is more effective than the isolation zone, so we I never used this measure on myself.”
"After the catastrophe, the pollution of the abyss in the empire has become much more serious. Your self-purification is not enough at all, so the apostles of Xiling also need to be isolated for protection." I glanced at Sandora, "It's just that no one thought of this back then. a little."
Sandora spread her hands: "No way, that thing is too weird, who would have thought it was a protective barrier? Back then we didn't know what was going on outside, and we were locked in without knowing anything. Later After I figured out what was going on outside, I didn't have that much energy to study what was going on in the original 'locked state'. If the fox hadn't dug up these mud bumps, maybe I would have forgotten about it."
I turned my head and pinched the fox girl's ears to show my praise. Although she has degenerated into a husky, although she is lazy every day, and although she dug through the yard today, she has indeed made a great contribution this time. I thought to myself Reward her with a bag of bone biscuits, but this girl may get violent and hurt people, so take her to have her tail washed, cut and blown as a reward in two days
The fox has been lying next to the coffee table, poking her head and listening to us tell the story that she couldn't understand at all: she didn't know anything about the events of the Avengers, and she didn't know what the "lock" and "barrier" were talking about, but She knew that these topics were started by herself, so she showed great interest from the beginning to the end. It was amazing that she could be so interested in a topic that she couldn't understand at all, and she started to listen to it from the beginning. It's over...
"Now there's just one more question," my elder sister got up to get a glass of water, then came back and continued, "Who built this barrier? How could he have such a great ability to trap Sandora without anyone knowing it? "
"It may be another emperor, or it may be some kind of 'survivor cluster'," Sandora guessed after a little thought, "We all know that although the disaster in the old empire broke out quickly, it lasted for hundreds of years. The declaration is over, and many leader-level apostles have persisted for a long time. They have carried out various self-rescue actions during this period-you all remember the archives. In fact, the separation of the archives and the concept of the 15-day zone is the self-help of the survivors. Behaviors, but some succeeded and some failed. There may be some survivors that we don’t know who have also taken action. Some survivors may find that the revenge army is just outside the contaminated area, so they cut off the revenge army immediately. The communication between the army and the Imperial Data Network has imprisoned us in place."
"Tch, why does it feel like the next story is completely made up by brains?" Bingtis rubbed his eyebrows a little depressed. This guy pretended to be a think tank for a long time, and now he finally felt impatient. Which point is the real information?"
I quite understand Bingtis's complaints. After all, we really have very little information at hand. This discussion has been a reasoning contest since an hour ago. It is precisely because of this that many of our inferences dare not say death-now The only thing that is certain is the fact that the Avengers were once protected by some kind of "barrier effect", everything else has yet to be determined.
"Let's assume that the conjecture of the 'barrier' is correct," Sandora ignored Bingtis' chanting, "this barrier obviously has a lot of traces of 'rush work', and it can't tell whether the people who escaped from the barrier are infected or not. , it seems that there is no way to judge whether the world outside the barrier is safe: after the abyss eruption ended 70,000 years ago, the barrier has not disappeared, which means that it does not even have a shutdown process. This should be because the time when the barrier was set up Urgent."
"So, the Vengeance Army is the kindling that was desperately protected by some surviving emperors..." My sister was deeply moved, "It's a pity that they didn't have the opportunity to explain the situation to Sandora."
Sandora nodded: "The entire spiritual network has been polluted, so I can only be separated from the Avengers without knowing it. If they contacted me at that time, I am afraid that the success will fall short in an instant. "
"But then again, how did this barrier suddenly break?" Qianqian muttered incredulously, "Didn't it mean that it has no sensing ability? After the abyss impact ended, it was still stubborn for nearly 70,000 years. Why did it suddenly disappear?" Gone… "
After Qianqian finished speaking, the whole family focused their attention on me, and I pointed at myself inexplicably: "Huh?"
"Your friend Void creature is online," Bubble's voice came from the crowd (because she is too small), "As soon as the child's father is online, the network will be reshuffled, things like barriers, In the final analysis, it operates by blocking channels or interfering with key equipment. At that time, Pandora was equivalent to the external network for the barrier. The barrier prevented internal network devices from connecting to the external network, so it would naturally jump out, and then the child’s father would Throw that thing away."
I scratched my hair: "Um...how come I don't remember?"
From the cracks in the crowd, I felt a child from her ** rolling her eyes: "There are so many things you don't remember—how many things you have done since you became the throne to now that you have an impression of?"
I thought about it, and felt extremely sad and indignant.
In fact, there are still many unclear explanations for this "barrier", such as how the surviving emperors (if they really existed) managed to quickly establish a barrier without Sandora noticing : This is impossible in the Xiling authority system. An emperor cannot exceed his authority to control the armies of other emperors, let alone control other emperors themselves. In this regard, Sandora believes that it is very likely that it is also due to the abyss: the impact of the abyss that year almost destroyed everything in the spiritual network of the old empire. Perhaps at a certain period, even the authority system was temporarily shut down. Perhaps the person who erected the "barrier" took advantage of this loophole to imprison all members of the Vengeance Army—well, I know this is still unclear, but at least it is a reason, isn't it
This is the end of the discussion about the "barrier". Even if we continue to reason, we won't get any more information. Sandora decided to let the soldiers who were trapped with her in other worlds conduct a full-body examination, and even she herself had to undergo an internal scan to see if she could find any clues about the "barrier". It's better than doing nothing.
When everyone got up and went to work on their own affairs, the elder sister suddenly sighed a little: "The people who erected the barrier back then should be gone."
Sandora was silent for a few seconds, then sighed: "It could be worse: they might already be on the side of the fallen apostles."
This was an unpleasant guess at first, but I immediately thought of something else: "Wait, it might be a good thing if they say something on the side of the fallen apostles, you guys forgot that I still have..."
Before I finished speaking, Bingtis clapped his palms: "By the way, the prodigal son turned around and punched him in the face!"
Me: "...can you not mention this name?"
Sandora's eyes also lit up, because for the new empire that has mastered the key "technology" of "reverse transformation", the fallen apostle is not a completely hopeless polluter now, as long as he can be successfully captured, we will He and Xiaoxue were able to reverse them into normal Xiling apostles. If it was really a consciously set up "barrier" that imprisoned the Vengeance Army in another world, and the creator of this barrier is still alive, then they are almost 100% in the camp of the fallen apostles. The fact that Yu Li created such a barrier in a waking state will be a group of powerful leaders, and they will also have considerable influence in today's fallen apostle camp—this points out a clear path for our future actions.
"I'm going to convene a meeting of the headquarters tomorrow," Sandora said vigorously. "In the future, the battle against the fallen apostles will capture the enemy's leaders as much as possible. I must find out what happened back then!"
I thought about it, and felt that Sandora was really easy to say. With the combat power of the New Empire, it was already quite difficult to fight the fallen apostles head-on. Now I still require that the generals be captured alive every time they fight—you might as well count on On the opposite side, more than a dozen emperors surrendered with their troops. Of course, Sandora could also think of this, so she calmed down a little and smiled awkwardly at us: "It's just a general direction, just a general direction... Just do your best."
This head-swelling discussion is finally over, and the rest is to make some fine-tuning of various future military operations based on the newly acquired information, and start arranging a general physical examination for all members of the Vengeance Army. Sandora decides I can be happy and relaxed if I personally supervise this matter. Ji Xingxuan got up and began to tidy up the clay tablets on the table. These baby bumps are of little use to us, but Ji Xingxuan seems to like them quite a bit. The flat-chested dwarf rarely hummed a tuneless ballad, briskly It's like a holiday.
"I'm very happy, these things are your treasures now?" I patted Ji Shining on the head and said casually.
"Can't you be happy when you see something familiar?" Ji Shanshan swiftly threw a pile of mud lumps into her personal space, and then looked at me with special vigilance, "Wait! You don't mean to put these Should the clay tablets be handed over to humans? Why don't you do this kind of thing... "
I thought about it, and it is reasonable for Ji Shanshan to be so worried: these clay tablets are part of the earth's culture, and it seems reasonable to hand them over to humans. But I have no such intention at all, because we have been working hard to erase the traces of the empire from the earth, and until the earth people are sufficiently developed, they will not be exposed to any "influence" beyond necessary. For this reason, there are no less than dozens of ancient relics that have been demolished or moved away by the Great Love Without Borders (Look at the scientific expedition team that littered non-burnable garbage back then!), and now these clay tablets reveal too many obvious They will have an extremely bad influence on the civilization of the earth: it is obviously a bad inducement to make the people on earth think that they are a captive race created by aliens.
Although we hope to guide the people on earth to enter space as soon as possible, the stimulation of things like the Xiling Empire is still too strong: this can easily lead the fragile earth civilization to go astray.
Of course, the more important reason is: I find it troublesome.
"Since the things on these clay tablets have not become the mainstream of Sumerian culture, it means that they have finally become small branches that have been eliminated in human history. Don't let these branches disturb the people on earth who are not very focused. gone."
After getting my promise, Ji Xingxuan was elated immediately, and ran up to the second floor with her mud bumps in her arms—but soon she ran down in a hurry, because there were still a lot of clay tablets in the yard.
"You look a bit like a god now," Bingtis sat on the sofa next to him like a tiger, watching my conversation with Ji Shanxi with cold eyes, "From a higher perspective, consider for mortal civilization question… "
I frowned immediately: "Why do you say that, I feel so uncomfortable: as if I have become a villain?"
"Because you feel that you have interfered with the progress of mortals?" Bingtis chuckled, "Don't be too sensitive, this is an inevitable phenomenon. When you are strong enough, even if you take a breath, it will be enough for the secular world to make waves , it is impossible for you to have no influence on the world like ordinary people—even if you are careful, it is useless. I will give you a recent example: Three days ago, I heard Sandora mention that in order to build a new void Lab, you approved fine-tuning the speed of light in a certain world. Do you know what this one-ten-thousandth fine-tuning means? It means that in that universe, there are millions of intelligent races that have never touched the Empire. Choosing another technology tree, for you, this is an accidental side effect, for those mortals, this is fate."
I:"… "
"That's the thing, if you are so strong that it is like destiny for another race, then you will never be able to get rid of this responsibility. We God Race have spent countless years studying this issue, and finally we understand it under the guidance of Father God. God's natural responsibility: God does not touch the world, not that God does not touch mortals at all, but that God will not distort mortals' wishes according to his own wishes. He fucked."
Finally, Bingtis patted me on the shoulder proudly: "Remember my words from the bottom of my heart: the greater the power, the more f*cking things you have to deal with."
I:"… "
This guy is really my life mentor, from the bottom of my heart.
In fact, sometimes I also think that Bingtis is a good female hooligan—although she is fierce, vicious, violent, arrogant and willful, and she goes out to find trouble every now and then and spends my money lavishly, but other than that... there seems to be nothing left Advantages...
In short, what I mean is that Bingtis can always stand up and give me some pointers or relief when I am confused, especially because of major issues such as strength and responsibility. This female gangster usually looks like a fool, but what she has accumulated over hundreds of millions of years is not just biceps. Her awareness of strength and responsibility, power and responsibility, and mission is worthy of the name of a goddess. I can't remember. How many times have I been enlightened by her? Her enlightenment is full of ruffianism, but it is suitable for my carefree personality: if you find a serious and strict teacher, I might not listen to it. .
Perhaps this female hooligan hides a soft and delicate heart under the edges and corners of her body. I just hypnotize myself like this, which can effectively filter the sand in her words.
Seeing Bingtis walking towards the gate with his arms swaying, looking like he was about to go out and spend some time, I called out from behind: "Thanks, Bingtis."
Bingtis waved his hands without looking back: "Forget it, you will want to kill me when I come back from shopping..."
I:"… "
The sand content is still quite large. RS
