We took the engineering ship to the edge of the galaxy again, but this time there were many more passengers on the ship—dozens of elves, most of them were old men and women who were dying, and the two popes also accompanied the crowd.
In fact, the Pope has no real power in the Lost God Sect. They are a kind of spiritual symbol, and their real existence value is the key carrier. Even if the Pope is determined to know the history, they are too young and may not be able to lead this sect. Moreover, the Pope can only live for more than a hundred years, and the short lifespan makes it unnecessary for them to establish any real power. The real managers of the Lost God Cult have always been the College of Cardinals, that is, those super old people from the three elves. In addition, since the younger generation in the College of Cardinals is far from being able to take on heavy responsibilities alone, it can be said that the order of this world is entirely supported by the remaining thirty or so old people.
They have been working hard to train their successors, and they want someone to replace them before they die of old age. The irreplaceable wealth, only they can fully understand the meaning of the existence of Lost God, and only they have completely experienced the evolution from the Republican era, the imperial era, the federal era to the theocracy era, and the insights and mentality brought by personal experience are very important. It is difficult to pass on to the next generation. Young elves—even the best ones who have been carefully selected—can hardly have the same unshakable resolve as their parents.
Without truly experiencing the failures of the previous three eras, the younger generation is always blindly optimistic about the future.
Before Sandora and I came to this world, the Cardinals were aware of this irreconcilable contradiction, and some even foresaw that this world would eventually slide into a dangerous abyss because of the death of old people. There is no difference between foreign and other races, they also have the mentality of mortals, they will waver and be impulsive. Will be deceived, there will be differences and rebellious psychology in the inheritance from generation to generation, the former federation will cause chaos due to the replacement of short-lived species, and today's theocratic society will also have cracks due to the replacement of long-lived species. Conservation can cause problems at the root, and the elderly cannot recover. So from hundreds of years ago, some people in the College of Cardinals felt hopeless—fortunately, Sandora and I didn't discover this later.
In other words, fortunately, Abyss Xiling's mobility is super high. In such a short period of time, preparations for bridging were made, and the split and reorganization of the Abyss area was promoted sideways, and the historical process was accelerated. Let's get "bombed in" before the world is thrown into chaos.
History is so intertwined. Exquisite. Break a link and everything will be completely different.
The engineering ship escaped from the time-space jump state, the optical phenomenon covering the spacecraft was immediately released, and the external monitor transmitted the scene in space to the hall. The magnificent but lifeless space complex appeared on the large-scale holographic projection, and a white elf (said to be the former white elf prince) exclaimed in surprise: "Look, that's what we put down a long time ago!"
"And our Locaron Fortress! The tree of elves is on the top. I haven't seen it for many years... I was the commander of this ship when I was fleeing. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the reformers during the federal era. propeller."
"That's the Panshen Fortress of the Silver Star Dwarves. The Parliament was on that fortress during the Republic Era. I still remember it."
As the spacecraft advances, space relics appear on the holographic projection one by one, and the large relics among them are extremely eye-catching. Moreover, the elves present could call out the name of almost every large ruin, and exclamations erupted from the surrounding crowd from time to time, and as the spaceship gradually approached the central area of the building complex, the shouts of surprise gradually turned into emotions of emotion and excitement. Sigh.
The relics of the three elves (in fact, mainly white elves and high elves, the tree elves did not leave any large facilities here) are outside the building complex. Going further, there are more and more relics left by other races. The space fortresses made by humans lie in space. The deep space city in the city still depicts the emblem of the tribe - this emblem once represented an advanced civilization that has mastered the truth of the universe, but now it appears more often at the gates of the rough and simple villages in the eastern wilderness of the planet of refuge.
The three elves still remember at least what they had back then, but the owners of these relics don't even know what they lost. Now they are accompanying the cattle to plow the fields, waving bows, arrows and sticks to hunt in the mountains and forests. Looking up at the starry sky and praying for the protection of the gods of technology and magic, they don't know that the sea of stars they are looking at—the place they think is the kingdom of God—is actually their home tens of thousands of years ago. This is the result of an ancient agreement. The ancestors of these races did give up everything voluntarily, but the elves who once walked with these ancestors still cannot help but think about things: the heavy price lost by the dead is now all on the living on the person.
"The relationship we built when we fled together..." Sandora's voice sounded faintly, "Look at what sins we did back then."
I patted Sandora Ball: "At least there is still a rescue now."
"Tianjin Forge" finally appeared on the holographic projection in the center of the hall.
It is exactly where the encrypted space that Sandora and I discovered was located—but now that the encrypted space has been released, there are large and large buildings in place. These buildings are different from the ruins in the outer area, and the imperial style The facilities occupy a large part of it. They have everything, from small star ports to abandoned warships. The reason for these things), these wastes are orbiting a light gray artificial planet, and that artificial planet is our target: the ancient exile ark called "The Forge of the Gods".
Its size is equivalent to that of a green star. It is said that it used to be an ecological planet, but due to long-term abandonment, the former ecological circle on the surface has collapsed and disappeared. The forests have faded, the rivers have dried up, and the atmosphere has dissipated. Now the surface of this planet is covered with only a thin layer. Mixed residues, the man-made soil layer covered the planetary fortress's original Transcendent alloy shell, making it a rustic light gray color, and the surface of the planet was smooth, with no traces of impact. Presumably it doesn't have much chance of being hit in this place.
We also found the "energy-guiding long bridge" that we saw that day. It turned out that it was an independent facility on the track, and its scale was indeed very large. The long bridge is connected to the "Tianjin Forge" through some kind of facility that looks like a space elevator. I don't know why they choose a seemingly backward physical connection, maybe for reliability
I have connected the command device to the main engine of the engineering ship, and now I can directly communicate with the planetary main engine of the "Tianjin Forge" through the console of the engineering ship. The wake-up signal has been sent, and I am waiting for the response from the other party.
soon. The planetary host of Tianshen Forge sent a response message. The detection equipment immediately detected that earthquakes and gravity imbalances of varying strengths began to occur everywhere on the light gray planet. Strange magnetic fields and psionic radiation began to randomly appear on the surface of the planet, and the planetary image fed back by the energy radar seemed to be covered with a magnificent and colorful new clothes: this planet has been sleeping for so long, and now it is finally about to stretch out for the first time in tens of thousands of years. What a lazy waist, this lazy waist is big enough. Fortunately, there is no one on the surface at present, otherwise, who can stand the vibration mode of the planet!
Due to the fine-tuning of the planet's gravity generator, the gravity of the entire planet has become chaotic. The surrounding "space junk" that is closer to the planet has no power, and now they are falling uncontrollably to the ground, which is very lively Yes, because the high-intelligence mainframe of the Tenjin Forge just woke up, and a flat and straightforward synthetic female voice greeted us: "The 'Tianjin Forge' shipboard mainframe has started up, and the self-test is good. During the automatic operation, the system log database is huge. Upload to your ship in batches, please be in... Hey, who smashed this ship? Hey, why did someone smash this ship again? What is this, what is this?! Why did you encounter a meteor shower just after waking up? Bullying this ship did not open The shield... eh, there is no end! This is not the same as what was promised! Why are so many things falling off the orbit... Oh, how did the artificial gravity source of this ship turn on?"
The vibration on the surface of the "Tianjin Forge" seems to be more obvious. The device detects that there is a powerful energy in it that is turbulent, and at the same time, its slightly out-of-control artificial gravity sources are also shutting down. I feel that the host of this starship seems to be in a hurry before opening the planetary shield. Space junk Crashing on the psionic shield and emitting a brilliant brilliance, the shipboard host's heartbroken voice came: "Oh... this is a ship, oh... this is a starport, oh... this is a satellite... oh, It's all over... But burn it, burn it, the old one won't go, the new one won't come. By the way, you woke up this ship? Is the outside world peaceful?"
Sandora and I: "..."
Why do I think the style of this shipboard AI is wrong! How could the old empire have such a dancing ai!
"Are you sure that the God's Forge has never been opened in the past tens of thousands of years?" Sandora rushed in front of a group of old men and women, "How did its character become like this?"
"It was like this tens of thousands of years ago," an old high elf man spread his hands, "Although some people thought that the Forge of the Gods was a bit different from other imperial warships at the beginning, but no one cared about it at that time, anyway. She worked very well and escaped here with us. I really miss her, I haven’t heard her nonsense for tens of thousands of years.”
"This voice... It's almost hard to tell who it is, but it seems to be an acquaintance," the shipboard AI can observe the movement in our hall through the transfer of the engineering ship. Surprised, "Why are you so old?"
"It's been tens of thousands of years, and the old empire didn't reform all the family members, even the elves can't live too long," I finally managed to put away my slightly messy mood, and looked at the ashes with a strange expression. "Are you the God's Forge? Why do you... feel so strange to people? The empire... not only then, but even now the shipboard hosts manufactured by the Empire are not like you."
Oh, it can't be said that there are none at all, the second lunatic is an exception, but other than that, there is absolutely no other kind of psychosis.
"Another host? The other host is in charge of this ship's shit, this ship is just doing things for others according to the agreement, guarding the treasure house for that woman, the reward is that you can survive and have a chance to find the general," the ship's ai said sharply. The more you talk, the more frightening you are, "Hey, are you the new generation? Or are you guys who survived back then? This ship tells you that you must abide by the agreement no matter what. There is an agreement in the ship's database. How dare you break the contract? The ship blew up the treasury. According to what was agreed in the past, the ship waits here until the world is peaceful outside, and then you take away the contents of the treasure house and dismantle the restraint system of the ship. From then on, you can rebuild your Go to the empire, and this ship will go to the general."
"Wait a minute!" I finally realized that I couldn't keep silent, otherwise this guy would definitely talk like the second lunatic, "You weren't made by the Empire!?"
"Of course, the empire can't make high-end goods like this ship. This ship was made by the general!" The tone of the ship's AI was very proud. It sounded almost familiar. But the latter words are not so imposing. "Of course... the core was made by the general. The current body is indeed something given by that woman. Do you care about it so clearly? Well, well, I will leave the planetary fortress to you later. The host also has Thrusters, this ship can only go on the road alone. Anyway, this ship is not afraid of death. Either die on the road or see the general. But if possible, I hope you can give this ship a transport ship. It is not very safe to expose the main engine core to the outside .”
The other party seems to be ready to reach an agreement and turn around and leave, but of course she can't just let her go! I hurriedly took out the data terminal: "Wait a minute, is the general you are talking about called Weiss... Um, no, this name is later. Is it called 75... This name is also later, by the way, she didn't have a name back then... Oh, I found it! Do you think your general looks like this?"
I finally took out the data terminal and activated the holographic imaging mode. Immediately, a little girl with a bright smirk jumped into the air. Waving and greeting me there, it is the image of Viska, and beside her is Pandora standing expressionless—this is a three-second clip recorded when I took them camping last summer. The startup screen is on, it's better than the original recruitment advertisement.
"General?!" The shipboard AI exclaimed, "Why do you have the image of the general!? Who are you? You are not... You are not from the empire. Only some people in the empire know the existence of the general, and they should all follow that The women died together in the shock!"
The other party's exclamation confirmed my guess. No matter how surprised Sandora and I were, we could only accept the fact. Sandora floated up and down and comforted the other party with a helpless tone: "Calm down, calm down, I may know what's going on... The woman you mentioned should be Abyss Xiling, she didn't die... Uh, it should be said that the method of death is the same as What you imagined is different, and now it is alive again in a reorganized way. The empire is also different from what you remember. We have also split and reorganized again. Now it is the new empire year. Oh, you should not care about these, the point is Your general—she's with us now, our sister."
Sandora wisely didn't mention the title "General of the New Empire", because she knew that the ai under Viska didn't care what the empire was at all, even if Viska became the emperor of a certain sky area, these ai would not care about it. I am not interested in knowing what the emperor is. They are loyal to Viska, and only to her personally. At most, they will be loyal to her family after Viska finds her family. Bringing up the latter's new status is much more useful.
"Sister? The general doesn't have an older brother, and he doesn't know the light ball." The shipboard AI seemed to be in a state of confusion, "This ship doesn't know you, and the general doesn't know you either. Evidence, this ship needs evidence! Nothing to do, but this ship is very concerned about this now!"
evidence? Where can I find evidence! Now the communication between this universe and the Empire District is still cut off, and I can't even get in touch with my precious sister! Do you think it is useful to have a video of our daily life together? Well, videos can be faked, pictures can be faked, and all kinds of messages can be faked. Thanks to the advanced counterfeiting technology of Xiling Empire, since I first met them five years ago, I know that there is nothing in this world that cannot be faked. I never expected this, life is indeed more exciting than novels, why do such emergencies even happen!
"Oh, yes, I know someone," I suddenly remembered something, "Viska has a flagship, I don't know what it was called back then, but she always said that she had a main cannon, but in fact she was It's an aircraft carrier—do you know this guy?"
"Flagship! Oh, you said that lack of heart, flagship, of course this ship knows," Tianshen Forge Ai suddenly became happy, "Back then, this ship had a good relationship with her. She was in charge of bragging, and this ship was responsible for listening to her bragging. ... Do you really know the general? Not only the picture of the general, but also the information of the people around the general... Okay, this ship will trust you first."
The trust came so suddenly, I didn't dare to believe it casually, and asked suspiciously: "Do you really believe it? Don't ask for evidence or something?"
"It doesn't matter who you are, no matter how false you are, the fact that you know the general is always true," the shipboard AI seemed to be very smart, at least not as careless as the second lunatic, "You are the clue! This ship will definitely find the general if you follow it."
"That's good," I smiled, "Then let's get down to business... Hey wait! Do you know about the star rings? The star rings of the barrier star."
(Finally ask for the monthly pass. If it is too late, you should ask for the monthly pass in advance next month-I may have to forget...) RP
