Before the fleet scanned the abyss gate, we first contacted the ancestors on the other side.
Now the connection between this shore and the opposite shore is more convenient, because the Star Ring Federation has continuously placed several high-power relay stations on the critical layer of the abyss regardless of the cost, and the Star Ring Federation has also improved their communication after the ancestors arrived on the opposite shore with the imperial equipment. The system is better compatible with our equipment, so the connection between the two sides of the strait can only send some texts intermittently at the beginning, and gradually develops to the transmission of larger data packets, and now it is almost possible to carry out instant messaging. It can be said that it is moving forward took several strides. However, some problems limited by the void structure still cannot be solved, such as the communication delay between the two sides of the strait—even if we increase the computing speed of the decoding equipment to the limit, the signal compatibility between the two sides of the strait is also raised to the limit, and the delay problem still exists. It is determined by the specific void structure of that layer. However, this situation has also eased. After using various technologies, the delay between the two sides of the strait has been reduced to a tolerable level, and simple conversations are still no problem.
This is the first time we have contacted the other side in nearly a month since the fleet set off. Before that, the ancestors on the other side didn't even know about our departure to find our home world. This is because Sandora doesn't intend to make the ancestors worry too much before getting definite results, and to be honest... Before today, all of us have no idea. Whether we can find our hometown world is actually a matter of luck. We dare to mention this matter to the other side only after we have actually arrived at the destination. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The ancestors have been looking forward to this day for too long. If you want to give them a real surprise, it is not good for the elderly to be worried.
Tavel quickly set up a communication channel with the other side. This highly encrypted + high-intensity broadcast system can be said to be one of the most sophisticated gadgets in the Imperial Admiral (the other sophisticated gadget is Abyss Xiling's box). The communication signal was transferred to the communicator on the officer's platform. The holographic projection in front of everyone trembled, and then gradually became clear. The clutter that was unique to communicating with the other side gradually faded away, and then a figure appeared on the screen. , accompanied by a slightly distorted female voice: "This is the duty station, duty officer Luo."
What appeared on the holographic projection was a young woman with short hair named "Luo". She was also one of the ancestors who arrived on the other side, and she was the ecosystem maintainer on the Ark. I am not very familiar with her, but I do know her. Luo was still wearing the imperial uniform, and it was obvious that the ancestors had never forgotten where she came from even though they were on the other side. The look on her face was a little tired, as if she had been on duty for a long time.
In order to be able to receive contact here at any time, coupled with the heavy responsibility of "ambassadors", the ancestors did not relax their work on the other side. With the help of the Star Ring Federation, they repaired the deep diving ship and A duty station was established directly on the ship, and there were people on standby in front of the communicator 24 hours a day (capital time scale). Lo was clearly on duty.
"Old ancestor!" Qianqian is really a straight-hearted girl, and she greeted happily on the spot, but within a moment of her words (including the delay time), the short-haired woman on the other side of the communicator yelled frantically: "Don't call me old ancestor! If you want to call me, call us old captain. I'm still young and I'm not married yet!"
The biggest difference between female ancestors and male ancestors is that they are more active, and they seem to be generally very concerned about their own age that can scare the gods. In the world, the pantheon known as the Old Man Alliance and the group of old antiques around the Father God (malicious reminder: including Jiajia) can overwhelm the ancestors in age.
This is really a story that cannot be delved into the depths and is extremely scary to think about.
I pressed my shallow head to prevent this girl who thought like bungee jumping from talking nonsense, and then tried to straighten out my expression to express the current situation as easily as possible: "Luo, where do you think we are now?"
Bingtis glanced at me silently: "... Is it appropriate for you to speak like this on such a serious occasion?"
My expression remained the same, but I explained helplessly in my spiritual connection: "No way, the facts are too shocking. Let's prepare the atmosphere first to prevent the ancestors on the opposite side from being drawn away. I suddenly feel a little regretful. The ancestors were 'surprised', you said that this joy is enough, but the 'surprise' is not a bit cruel?"
Bingtis sneered in the mental connection, and didn't help out, but Luo was stunned: "Guess where you are? You made a special trip to connect to this channel just to make this joke for me ?”
"We are in our hometown world," Sandora suddenly stood up, and before I could think of how to start the topic, Her Majesty's swift and decisive side showed her strength, "The fleet set off a month ago, but because we are not sure whether it will be successful or not. You were not informed. Now we have successfully arrived in our home world, and... we are preparing to start bridge-building operations here."
Luo's face didn't change at all, but it wasn't because she was calm, but she was completely frozen there. She stared blankly at this side, and then tentatively asked after a long time: "You... are worried that we are bored here, so Have you decided to make a joke?"
"How can she be joking, and this topic is not suitable for joking," Bingtis pushed Sandora aside with an arm, and looked at the communicator with a smile, "We really found our home world, it's true, don't believe me later We'll transfer the video signal to you."
Luo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then slowly tilted his body in our sight, and slipped out of the screen without a sound.
Everyone was shocked: "!"
"Look at what you guys have done!" I jumped up to a height of more than one meter, and then pointed at Sandora and Bingtis angrily, "You think everyone is as tough as the apostle of Xiling Or is it as heartless as the Protoss?!"
"The Protoss is not short of heart!" Bingtis actually retorted seriously, "The concubine's body is just crooked, and it cannot represent other people."
As a female man, can you stop being cute in this situation
"Luo! How are you?! Wake up!" We can't help the other side here, we can only look at the empty communication screen and worry, my sister shouted several times in a row before I saw the communication A hand suddenly appeared on the utensil, and then this hand grasped the edge of the table gropingly, and with a strong push, Luocai climbed up in embarrassment. This "old ancestor" who had lost his image (taking advantage of The old man can't hear it, so it's not a crime to repeat it a few times, right?) The first thing she did when she got up was to throw her whole body on the communicator: "What you just said is true!?"
Sandora didn't speak, but silently transferred the video signal from the outer space, especially focusing on the dim halo that spanned the entire universe. Due to the stagnant state of the hometown, the world has basically remained the same for so many years, so this universe and the starry sky in it are still the scene that the ancestors kept in mind when they fled. Maybe the starry sky is difficult to recognize because of different viewing angles, but That majestic cloud belt is something that every Ark remnant will keep in mind and engrave in his soul.
There was no movement on the opposite side of the communicator for a long time, and Sandora added: "If you think this halo is not the only feature of the home world, then we can still pass the observation data to you."
There was still silence on the other side of the communicator, but just when I thought Luo was about to faint again, an earth-shattering shout suddenly came from the communicator, which shocked everyone: "Captain! Anna! Commander! Everyone! Hurry up, people! Hurry up!! The hometown world... They have found our home! They have found it! They have found our home!"
What followed were several minutes of utter chaos, several minutes of earth-shattering, several minutes of dread, and several minutes of rescuing each other—because the ancestors on the other side of the communicator became more and more excited, and I was worried about whether they would be enough to rescue each other. It was timely, whether the first aid equipment at hand was good or not, but in the end everything was safe: the ancestors only fainted a few times, but they all woke up tenaciously.
It stands to reason that well-trained soldiers should not be so gaffe, but we must know two things: first of all, not every member of the Ark is trained as a soldier, although they are all soldiers, but there are also ecological zone administrators and archivists among them Civilian personnel, you can’t use the standards of the Imperial Army to demand these people who are both mortals and civilians (and to be honest, didn’t even Sandora get excited for a long time when I first found this universe?); The significance of a Xiling man and Xiling apostle is too great, which is far beyond ordinary events. Faced with this situation, it is normal for the ancestors to be excited.
And after the ancestors calmed down, Sandora and I slowly talked about this month's voyage.
Ansers listened to us quietly, and the excitement on his face gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and smiled slightly: "It seems that we can't just leave like this. We have more important things to do now. No matter what, at least go back to my hometown to have a look.”
"Leave?" I was taken aback for a moment, as if I heard some terrible words? !
"Ah, I haven't told you yet," Ansers was still smiling, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, a bit like the helplessness when a younger generation suddenly found out that he was hiding a little secret, "Actually, we all planned to We have left the Halo Federation, we have arranged everything here, you can continue to study the bridging with the Halo Federation, and we plan to go out... for a walk."
The ancestors never mentioned this before!
"Go for a walk?" Sandora was dumbfounded, "Where can you go?"
"Go anywhere," Ansers nodded, "We feel that staying on the side of the Star Ring Federation is of little use. Now that the two sides of the strait have been connected, data exchange and language decoding are going smoothly, and in the bridge building In this matter, all the order camps on both sides of the strait are working together, and there is no need for mediation at all. We stay here and look like we can only be a messenger. It is a waste of time for everyone to stay here. So we plan to set sail again and go to the void Find a new world in the depths where no one is disturbed. A new ecological factory has been built on the spaceship. We also carry the tissue samples of the original Ark crew members and the seed bank of other kinds of life in our portable space. Although there is no way to resurrect the original self Come here, but it can still create a new ecosystem... "
"Are you planning to rebuild a 'homeworld' on the other side?" Sandora explained Ansers' thoughts in one word.
The old ancestor didn't intend to hide it either, he smiled frankly: "Yeah, I'm really homesick, but it's useless to just be homesick, you have to do something yourself. When I was in the Empire District, I had a new home. I don’t think so, but everything is unfamiliar here on the other side. Although the people in the Star Ring Federation are nice, this is not our home after all. After a long time, I can’t stand it. We are worried that we won’t be able to go back in a short time, or even forever. Can't go back... It's not that I don't have confidence in you, it's just that I'm so worried. So we plan to find a new world and create a place similar to our hometown. Maybe we can rebuild the Xiling Mother Planet and Xiling on the other side As for civilization, we won’t die anyway, and we have plenty of time to use the ecological factory to create mother star creatures, and then slowly teach them knowledge, which seems to be a good way to pass the time.”
I listened in astonishment, completely unaware that the ancestors were planning such things these days. But although the accident is not unimaginable, perhaps any survivor of civilization will have this idea-as long as the conditions are sufficient, who would not want to rebuild their hometown
They should have borrowed the ecological factory from the Starlink Federation (the original deep-diving ship was not a colony ship, it had an ecological cycle system inside, but there was no ecological factory for large-scale creation of species), and there were mother planet creatures in their portable space Samples are also normal. These biological samples were collected from the ark at the beginning, and they are all dead and cannot be resurrected. However, if the material is forcibly pieced together based on these samples, the same creatures can still be produced. You can say that they do not have the "soul" of the parent star. So It's just an empty shell, and it can also be said that this is a resurrection in another sense. It's the same for the ancestors anyway, just looking for a memorial. Tavel used these samples to restore several home star creatures, but because we didn't plan to rebuild a fake origin home star, we didn't continue, and now it seems that the ancestors are planning to start this project on the other side, which may take time Long hours of work—which, as Ansers puts it, "seemed to kill time," they needed to kill time.
"Aren't you planning to leave without saying a word?" Qianqian suddenly thought of something, and jumped to the front of the communicator, "I've watched a lot of novels and TV shows, so you must be planning to do so?! Or Why didn't you say it until now!"
"Actually... a bit of this plan," Luo next to Ansers scratched his face, looking a little embarrassed, "The captain said that you would definitely not agree, he said that you might not be able to understand this kind of 'meaningless' and the risk is too high." It's a big deal, so we plan to set sail and leave directly. But we didn't just leave, we will contact you after we set sail, there is a communicator on the spaceship, and the Star Ring Federation has also established a long-term The dedicated relay tower, won’t it be fine to keep in touch when the time comes?”
"Have some confidence in your descendants, okay?" Abyss Xiling floated over, with a helpless expression on his face. This cluster consciousness is quite respectful when facing the ancestors (in theory), " We will not fail to understand your idea of rebuilding your homeland. In fact, when you brought up this matter in the Empire District, everyone will help... Well, it seems inappropriate for me to say this... "
This guy finally remembered that he was actually the commander of the abyss area, and he couldn't control the affairs of the empire area.
"There's no need to pursue this now," Bingtis waved his hand, "Then you don't plan to leave now, do you?"
"Of course not." Ansers nodded slightly awkwardly. "We plan to go home and have a look, maybe we can rebuild that place. Thanks to your early contact, in fact, we will leave in two days..."
I broke out in a cold sweat: Fortunately, I didn't wait two days to contact you again!
The communication with the ancestors is over, and the last thing we have to do is done, and then... let's go to the gate.
It didn't take much time to scan the gate of the abyss. In fact, it was like Lilina's integrity, which stood out in the barrenness. It was the biggest source of information in this old world, and the information entangled around it was like a blowout. The whole universe shines brighter than a lighthouse.
The fleet jumped to the vicinity of the gate of the abyss, and the ancient fissure that only existed in legends appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the thing..."
Looking at the scene displayed on the holographic projection, Sandora muttered to herself, but couldn't speak the second half of the sentence.
Just as the ancestors remembered, this ancient gate is different from any gate to the abyss we have ever seen. It is a huge long and narrow crack shaped like an eye. The entire crack is five light-years long. Far beyond the size of any normal celestial body, and certainly beyond any abyssal gate. Since the fleet is directly teleported to the "above" the gate, we can directly face this majestic and magnificent crack from a bird's-eye view—the dark and oppressive atmosphere is overwhelming, full of the frenzy and danger of the abyss, but as expected In that way, this is the abyss of inertia.
It is still deadly to mortal things, but it is just a bit of a bad atmosphere for any extraordinary product. The imperial fleet will not be affected by this abyss gate in the slightest, and even fragile units such as individual fighters can land directly on the gate.
It's a pity that the Xiling civilization in the past was just mortals, and they were still swallowed by this inert gate.
The light from the gate of the abyss is distorted and interlaced, and it is not the kind of distortion caused by the ordinary gravitational field. The starlight is entangled near the gate in a chaotic zigzag way. Observing the distant space through the edge of the gate of the abyss gives people the feeling that they are in space. Look like a kaleidoscope. This reminds me of the strange sight of the core of tranquility, and it seems that there is indeed something in common between the two.
"Start collecting data according to the plan, and if the test is passed, the starting end will be placed. The other two to six groups of work teams are now starting to build psionic wells to prepare for charging." Sandora was a little distracted, but still subconsciously allocated The mission is coming, but she was interrupted by an exclamation from the command area just as she was speaking:
"Your Majesty! Mother Star! Mother Star! Mother Star is still here!!"
(The last time I ask for a monthly ticket before the end of this book! Apostles, let me have some confidence!
Another thing to announce: the physical book is expected to be available around July 5th. Students who participated in the group buying before can also prepare to receive the goods. The group buying is still going on, so don’t miss it. Of course, the 5th is the time of the publisher. Due to the logistics and distribution and the slow nature of Manwang Magazine... the specific arrival date may be delayed.
Peripherals will also be listed in the near future, officially released by Dianniang.
Everyone, let's have fun in the last month! Let me see some noise~~) RS
