"Like a dream?" I looked at Lilina in surprise, but I only saw seriousness in the eyes of this fake loli, "What's going on?"
"It's vague." Lilina gently kicked a vine next to her. "It may be the limitation of the life form. The thinking process of this plant is different from ours. Its thinking is like talking in a dream. The product of the fusion reaction between the external real world and some kind of 'environment' within itself, even what it is thinking about now is absurd and distorted. I have seen the relevant records of the return flight, but there are many explanations: return Hometown, return to the starting place, return to the original state, return from birth to death, and reunion with the deceased, etc., all the above explanations make sense, and the only thing I can get from the memory of the mother tree is this A vague concept."
After a pause, Lilina nodded firmly: "That's it, there's no way to confirm it."
"In this way, there is no way to find out the specific passage of the return voyage from the memory of the mother tree, nor can I find the specific time and who ordered the return voyage." The crew doesn't remember returning, tsk tsk...how could such a suspenseful case appear out of nowhere?"
"Aren't there few unsolved cases related to the old empire?" Lilina rubbed her eyes, as if she was also sleepy after a long period of thinking synchronization with a life that was constantly sleepwalking, "but at least there must be a 'return'" Memory is real. The mother tree is a powerful individual, and the soul is especially powerful. Because the tree elves are very special, their cycle of life and death is closely related to this plant, so the soul of the mother tree can almost be regarded as some kind of racial consciousness. Once the thoughts of the entire race are gathered, even if they are mortal races, they should not be underestimated. It is unlikely that there will be problems with the memory of such a soul. I will find time to synchronize with the mother tree a few times, it is like sleepwalking The state of thinking is not completely random, maybe I can find the one-to-one correspondence between its dreams and reality by synchronizing a few times."
Now it seems that it can only be so.
Frankly speaking, the value of an exiled ark is limited, especially for races like the tree elves who spent a short time with the old empire and had little time to get in touch with any secrets. Their green stars are not even comparable to those of the wandering fleet (“ The Fourth Fleet where the "Parliament" is located) has research value. But the "returning" experience recorded by the green star is a unique thing. This conflicts with various self-rescue plans at the end of the empire. There was no point in seeing this return voyage—and the attention of the whole thing skyrocketed.
And the various unreasonable things presented in this "return voyage record" can only make us more eager to explore.
Of course, I also thought about whether this matter might have something to do with Abyss Xiling. After all, most of the self-rescue actions in the old empire era had the shadow of that guy, and with her ubiquitous power, she would definitely I also paid attention to it, but I had a conversation with her just now, and this possibility has been ruled out: Abyss Xiling was also surprised by the return of the green star.
If it is not a "conspiracy", then this matter seems to have nothing to do with her, and I don't see any benefits that Abyss Xiling can get in the process of returning from the green star.
After handing over the matter to Lilina, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked down for Ding Dong: Even the pope under me has made such a big discovery, why hasn't the majestic goddess made any movement until now
As a result, when I lowered my head, I was stunned: Ding Dong was curled up comfortably in the small groove formed by the two vines, as if curled up in the bed, already sleeping in the dark... The mother tree even specially grew a small piece of vines beside it. The young leaves come to cover the little thing's body!
"Actually, it's normal," Lilina calmly explained for her own god, "The thinking process of the mother tree is dreaming. I feel groggy after syncing it. Of course, the goddess has a pure heart and fell asleep directly..."
I had nothing to say, so I could only bend down and take the little thing out of the "tree hole". Ding Dong didn't even wake up, and even arched my palm comfortably, changing to a better posture!
Although the matter of the tree elves is curious, it can only be regarded as an episode in front of the "bridge building". The whole incident was handed over to Lilina to handle it, and even Sandora only stopped paying attention after asking twice. up. Time passed, and soon after more than half a month, many projects of the four-party alliance finally got on the right track one by one. Some of the relatively mature technologies were quickly verified and manufactured, and the fastest-growing ones were naturally It is deep diving equipment.
If you want to build a bridge, the first point is to communicate with the opposite bank synchronously, so as to ensure that the starting end can be activated at the same time when the long bridge is opened, and in addition, you can communicate with the opposite bank about various details of the bridge before activating the starting end (after all The bridging information we know so far is all drifting in pieces, there may be some omissions or simply go astray), and to establish this stable connection, we have two ways: either directly Develop a deep-diving ship that can pass through the entire "isolation zone" and reach the opposite shore, communicate or establish channels through voyages, or set up a relay station at the critical layer in the center of the isolation zone.
No matter which way, a deep diving boat is a must.
In the deep diving port, the "United I" deep diving ship is undergoing final preparations and inspections, and it is now two hours before the countdown to the dive.
This is the modified deep dive port control platform, the first command center.
The command center, which is as wide as an indoor square, is brightly lit, and the control terminals on the mysterious side and the technology side are scattered throughout the hall in a matrix (because the main system of the spaceship is still a product of Xiling, the control terminals of the Empire version can also be controlled after translation. Protoss equipment, so the control system of Deep Submersion Port does not use Protoss things), most of the senior technicians and assistant technicians wearing researcher white robes are already getting ready in their seats, and there are Xiling angels and some Protoss in mid-air Personnel were shuttling around, conducting miscellaneous inspections before diving.
The large holographic projection in the center of the command hall has been lit up, and it shows a new type of deep-diving ship that is hovering over the gate of the abyss, fixed by two engineering motherships, and receiving final preparations.
Except for a few little dolls who are completely helpless and stay at home, everyone is gathered here, including members of the First Family, the protoss five-member group, and Abyss Xiling and her group of experts The team, of course, the expert team of the two major protoss and the core team of Tavel—except for some people, the group of "people" with the best brains in the void should be gathered here.
"The pressurization of the energy core is normal, and the response speed of the control system is lower than the specified value. There is a problem with the mode, and it is being adjusted."
"The shield group is normal, and the performance in the simulated overload situation seems to be better than expected-important data, record it."
"This is the communication array. The discrete reassembly array is in good condition. The things from the abyss area are quite useful."
These reports that do not meet the specifications come from the brand new deep diving ship. The ancestors are adjusting the system of the new spaceship on the spaceship, and at the same time they are reporting their feelings about the new ship: the current situation seems to be good.
And my eyes are looking at the holographic projection on the other side, looking at the panoramic view of the entire deep diving port.
Unexpectedly, it would develop so quickly—under the astonishing work efficiency of the Xiling Apostles and the urgent pressure of the cataclysm, the size of this joint experimental base expanded to five times its original size within half a month!
As the main body of the deep diving port, the empire's various technological and magic facilities spread along the perimeter of the gate of the abyss, forming a large sphere-like building complex. The adjustment of the building is no longer as clear as it was at the beginning, but the location has been changed according to the needs, and the various functional areas are integrated and close to each other, connecting to form a closer facility cluster.
Next to the magnificent temple is the mighty and domineering Imperial Factory, the Psychic Tower bursting with blue light is next to the lavender Crystal Castle, and the Abyss Laboratory covered with black and red patterns is closely connected to the Mana Palace filled with mysterious light. Adjacent, the fast corridor made of alloy, the teleportation array of crystal texture, and the rainbow bridge paved with star gold stones connect these buildings, whether real or virtual. These buildings look completely different, but they are full of strange and magnificent together. Intuitive pavilions, halls and corridors are integrated into a magnificent base. Aircraft, protoss, or apostles flashing with various lights shuttle quickly in space, like fireflies flowing in the dark.
And in the midst of all these magnificent and mysterious things, the two-dimensional circular gate is quietly dormant, surrounded by unprecedented "luxury" suppression facilities, not only the suppression tower of the empire, but also the golden nodes of the star field, There is also Huron's crystal boulder platform. These restraint devices completely suppress the gate of the abyss, making it unable to exert its weird geometric characteristics in three-dimensional space, allowing the deep diving ship to dive at the safest "angle". Looking at the gate, I seem to feel the madness of resistance behind it - but it is meaningless.
Nothing can be separated from this almost "luxury" suppression system, not even the gate of the abyss that destroyed the old empire back then.
This is a system created by the four top forces in the void with "true? Local tyrants? A throw of the universe"! Both Xingyu and Huron have dropped their technology books at the bottom of the box in this place.
"If this gate gets out of control, I'll eat twenty catties of dog food in public." Sister Sheila's loud words still echo in my ears—I'm kind of looking forward to it...cough cough.
The deep submersible is a kind of short-lived experimental equipment. The deep submersible we have been using before has died a few days ago after many dives. Strictly speaking, it can barely cope with several routine voyages, but the four-party joint The new model "United I" deep-diving ship has been assembled and tested, and the previous model will naturally be eliminated in advance. That spacecraft has been disassembled and studied, and its remaining components are in a museum, a monument like other early deep-diving equipment.
Due to the adoption of a large number of new technologies, even transformative technologies that have a major impact on the structure, the appearance of "United I" is quite different from the old model, and as the process of manufacturing deep-sea boats gradually matures, it also appears more "Pretty", this new ship is composed of three wedge-shaped hulls, the silver-gray triple wedge-shaped hulls are arranged in parallel along the central axis, like some kind of triple-mounted artillery, and at the end of the hull is an expanded structure fused together , that is the location of key equipment and facilities such as the power core, various laboratories, and in-ship ecological factories. The new spaceship has such an elegant and simple appearance that Bingtis, who has always criticized the "grotesque shape of crude benzene" of the deep-diving ship, admired it. Of course, more careful people can still find out that the core idea of the new spaceship's shape is that the three coffins rotate around the axis...
The special equipment from the Protoss is installed inside the spaceship, and the shell of the deep diving ship was designed by Tavel...
"Because of the use of T2-level shields and new power sources, the new ship is larger than the original model, and has a more stable space expansion device inside, which can accommodate more equipment and laboratories, and is extremely spacious. work and living space, and it’s okay to dive for a long time,” a mass projection of Tavier stood beside us as an explanation, with a proud face, and beside her were stars from Starfield, Huron, and Abyss. Other experts said, "The 'Power of Truth' used by the Huron Protoss is a wonderful kind of energy. Although its energy level is the same as psionic energy, it is obviously more stable and persistent. It is not suitable for offense, but it can be used as a driving force. The source is simply too suitable, thanks to the new energy core, the subordinates can safely let the shield of the deep diving ship reach the limit capacity, and even have more room for overload."
"The power of truth is the brainchild of the god king," a thin man with short platinum hair said softly beside him. This is a technical expert from the Huron protoss. "After some believers have studied this 'divine power', They are also called "first force" or "first factor", and its nature is similar to the direct driving force that directly causes a "change" in things, whether it is cooling or heating, whether it is accelerating or decelerating, as long as it is The force of truth can be used to move things from one state to another. So in a non-stationary system, the force of truth has a high stability, and it can adapt to any extraction process. But frankly, you The 'source energy mine' is even more fascinating, I never thought that there is such a thing that is inclusive and can convert all the 'driving forces of change' freely without loss... ”
I pretended to understand and listened while nodding and smiling, and said to myself, no matter which race the experts and scholars are, they all look the same when they talk about these high-tech issues. Isn’t the knowledge bombardment that Tavel brought to me not enough...
The appearance of the Huron Protoss looks the same as everyone on the scene. This is because their creator, Huron King Sheila, is also in the form of a human being. Most intelligent beings in the void have human or near-human forms. It is precisely because of this that the mixed personnel in the joint base are often very confusing. If they happen to be wearing casual clothes and do not show power fluctuations, you will have no idea who is the star god and who is with a superficial perception method. God Huron who is the apostle of Xiling. The only ones in the joint base that can be seen at a glance are probably the fallen apostles—the influence of the power of the abyss on the world of order is so obvious that abnormal optical and gravitational phenomena can be seen around them at any time. In these few days of contact, I found that even the fallen apostles are trying to control the abyssal power in their bodies and the conflicts in the world of order, which gave me a deeper understanding of the group represented by the words "fallen apostles" , it is no longer a simple and blind faction hostility, but for the first time starting from the facts, from a higher perspective (perhaps the perspective that the void itself should have), to look at these things that no longer belong to the world of order, but Groups that cannot coexist with Abyss—I think I understand Abyss Xiling's sense of urgency for the "great cause" better.
"Ansers, there are still 30 minutes to dive, how do you feel now?"
Shaking my head, getting out of my mind the thoughts that had nothing to do with the experiment, I looked up at the communicator, on which were the ancestors who were busy in the control center of the deep diving ship, making final adjustments to all the equipment. Because this is the first test voyage of the deep-diving ship jointly manufactured by the Quartet, and the ship itself is of great significance, so the ancestors also attached great importance to this test. Ansers specially changed into a new uniform. His hair was meticulous, and even his beard was carefully trimmed, like an old knight who was about to go to the battlefield but paid special attention to his appearance.
"It's great," Ansers said with a vibrant smile on his face. Although he was old, he looked as energetic as a young man. "The new ship has improved in many aspects, especially the power core, its stability The smoothness of adjustment and adjustment is much stronger than before, and now I want to see if its starstone components can also have extraordinary performance in the abyss environment."
It seems that the ancestors are very satisfied with the new spaceship. It is no wonder that Ansers was originally the captain of the ark. He spent most of his life on the spaceship. For him, sailing by ship is the real life : This is an old man who has formed an indissoluble bond with the spaceship.
Even if the range of his voyage is the abyss now, it will not affect the old captain's enthusiasm for sailing.
"The planned goal this time is to contact the discontinuity zone and maintain a 24-hour 'hover' at an extremely close distance on its upper layer," I looked down at the plan, "There are many places in the new spacecraft that have not been verified, so don't If you are too careless, don’t rush through the discontinuity zone, that’s the content of the next deep dive.”
"Don't worry, I won't rush into it," Ansers smiled cheerfully, "We old guys are much calmer than you think."
"Don't include me when you say 'old guy'." A young female voice came from the communicator immediately.
I smiled and listened to the old ancestors talking and laughing. Their good condition is also an important guarantee for the success of the deep diving experiment. Then I turned my head and looked to the side. Lin Xue was squinting her eyes and feigning sleep, but of course she wasn't really sleeping. Sensing my gaze, the eldest lady slowly opened her eyes, but there was a shadow across her eyes:
"A little restless." RS
