The pale blue light clouds in the sky have been completely continuous. These suspected "creatures" extraterrestrial visitors do not know where they came from. They can only be sure that they regard this ancient planet as a resting place. Countless blue halos are surging and merging in the sky, and now there are no gaps to be seen. The sparkling light is constantly swimming in the clouds. The cloud group jumps to another cloud group, this should be because all the light groups are integrated into one, right? Or... is this an exchange of something they each carry? No one can explain.
"It's so beautiful..." Qianqian raised her head vigorously, deeply attracted by this wonderful and magnificent scene, "It seems like the surface of the sea hangs upside down."
What Qianqian said is right, this scene really looks like the surface of the sea is hanging upside down, or an ocean floating above everyone's heads. The dots and rays of light are more like sparkling waves on the sea. There is no atmosphere on the parent star, so I can't hear any sound, but looking at the blue sky that hangs down, I almost want to make up the sound of the waves.
"These clouds have covered the entire parent star, and they are still getting thicker," Sandora looked at the data terminal in her hand in amazement. The holographic projection above the data terminal showed the top view taken by the Admiral Empire from space. In this image, the parent star has turned into a shimmering blue ball of light, and the phantom light has covered it with a layer of coat, so that we almost mistakenly think that the ocean of the parent star has returned, "the source of the cloud cluster It has been found out that there are two space signals, which come from two star systems 120 light-years and 130 light-years away respectively. It’s like a group of people far apart from each other coming to a meeting.”
"What the hell are they?" Bingtis raised her neck in amazement, and this knowledgeable female hooligan also seemed a little at a loss at the moment. Perhaps the scene in front of her was not strange to her, but this scene happened in this place. The home world that should have been completely dead and stagnant for many years. We can't help but wonder, "Life? Can life really be born in this world?"
"It's life." A small voice sounded in my head, and then I felt my chest pocket being pushed open from the inside. It turned out that Ding Dong, who was sleeping, was attracted by the breath outside. The little thing poked its head out of its pocket and watched for a long time, then suddenly showed a happy look, climbed to my shoulder along the folds of the clothes, and waved its little arms towards the sky. Cheered loudly in the public channel: "Life! Life! Although they are primitive and weak, they are life! Even the goddess sister has not created this kind of life!"
Even Ding Dong came out to characterize these light clusters. There is no need to doubt their nature. Although Tavier still can't figure out how this guy who doesn't even look like a spirit creature was born, it's not important, it's important Yes... they are really alive.
A sentence popped up in my mind:
This is the hometown of Xi Lingming. Like its people, it will never perish. Even if it dies, it must let its soul continue to move forward—life is born again here!
"Ding Dong wants to study how these lives work!" The little goddess of life danced on my shoulders, suddenly showing a very serious expression, "Ding Dong can hear them shouting, the universe they live for themselves They are confused in a strange state. And confused by the status quo that they cannot continue to evolve, they feel the power of the Goddess of Life, so they are asking for help... Ding Dong to help them!"
After saying this, Ding Dong has already waved his wings and rushed to the sky: it is meaningless to flap his wings in a vacuum, but Ding Dong's flapping his wings seems to be a subconscious action, and it is the same reason that Lin needs to spread his wings when flying in the void. And as that little green light rushed to the sky, I was surprised to see that "blue sea of clouds" also surged up, as if welcoming jingle bells. Sure enough, it's like... uh. I forgot who said it, but the meaning is that the Goddess of Life is the guardian of all life forms, whether you are carbon-based or silicon-based, whether you are a physical body or a spirit body, as long as you meet the definition of life recognized by the gods, you will be included in life Goddess' sanctuary. Those blue clouds are obviously native to the home world, and they were born in this stagnant abyss world. Naturally unlikely to belong to any known lifeforms, they rejoice in Clank's powers anyway—but then again, how the hell is Clank's unreliable little guy going to help? I always feel that the little thing seems to be rushing towards it with enthusiasm, theoretically there is no plan...
"Then what shall we do?" I looked around. I feel that the vision in the sky will not end for a while. Although it is good to stay here to enjoy the scenery, it seems that my group has a heavy responsibility. "It seems that the mother planet is regarded as a transfer station by these new beings."
"It's okay, I don't think the ancestors would mind." Sandora, the ruler of the empire, was unexpectedly enlightened at the moment. She put away the data terminal and turned to open a portal. Put it in place."
Everyone teleported back to the Admiral of the Empire, and the fleet quietly left this ancient but seemingly no longer dead planet in an invisible state. We came back to the sky above the gate of the abyss and began to make some preliminary preparations for the bridge.
The collection of relevant data is almost done. Since Abyss Xiling has already engaged in "Tranquility Core No. 1", and when the new army forcibly built the bridge, it also accidentally did something good, leaving us with a lot of valuable first-hand information, so these things we brought The panel of experts is almost a journeyman—at least in terms of the steps leading up to the official activation of the launch side. We spent half a day arranging the detectors. These detectors are all manufactured on the voyage. They are disposable but very useful. They are specially used to detect the inertness and stability of the gate of the abyss, and the power is very small. , even if it explodes over the gate of the abyss, it will not affect the safety of the entire test site. The specific data will be sent to everyone later today, as expected: we are in front of an unprecedentedly perfect "bridge pier".
There is no need to worry about the degree of inertness from the beginning. The scale of this abyss gate is beyond imagination, but it can be maintained safely without self-collapse. This is enough to show that it is an extremely inert gate, but the stability is a little bit Worried: Countless years have passed since the gate was opened. Grandpa Zuzuzuzu of Bingtis had this gate when he was wearing crotch pants. Grandpa Zuzuzu?), it’s hard to say whether there will be any changes in the gate after such a long time, such as a drop in stability over time... but luckily. Everything is perfect.
Abyss Xiling said frankly that even if she was given another thousand or eight hundred years and allowed her to destroy the world at will to collect materials, she would not be able to toss out the core of tranquility that was as useful as her home world.
Looking at the report in front of her, Sandora swallowed the last mouthful of spicy rice dumpling contentedly: "Although the Ming who failed to build the bridge back then made many mistakes, at least the door they opened is of good quality." Then she typed the report on The read mark was sent back to the working group: "Start construction immediately, and please Haran, please be responsible for contacting the other side. We must keep the project in sync with the other side at any time."
Sandora is the only one who can eat non-stop on the officer's platform. Others don't have such a good appetite as the Queen. Harlan, the conscientious big brother-type good leader of the empire, is of course more upright. Ivan Sain on the front line keeps in touch (the superiority of expert leadership is reflected here, and the two emperors who are in charge of guiding bridge building are technical talents). Hearing Sandora's words, Harlan just nodded. Then he continued to work on his own affairs, but Bingtis always wanted to say a few words: "Speaking of... the Ming who built the bridge back then gave people a really complicated feeling, Sandora, do you hate them or should you thank them? "
Sandora raised her eyelids and glanced at Bingtis: "This question is meaningless, they are already dead."
Bella Vila was in a rare day of sobriety. Seeing that Sandora didn't want to answer the matter directly, she took the topic by herself: "This kind of hatred is really meaningless. It's just a waste of time to pursue this with the dead. We His revenge is over. Now is the time to look forward—and to be honest, if there was no catastrophe at the beginning, maybe there would be no Xiling Empire today. Karma inheritance, time is not replaced, that's all. The people who built the bridge rashly at the beginning Ming... self-destruction due to his own mistakes, it can be regarded as liquidation."
Bingtis shrugged and stopped making a sound.
A large number of engineering ships have built temporary working base stations near the gate of the abyss. These base stations are basically the products of the disintegration, deformation, and reorganization of the engineering ship itself, so it doesn't take much time at all. The empire's advanced battlefield deployment technology is really a versatile means. Apart from allowing the bastard black superheroes in the movie city to throw out a large booth covering an area of several square meters and complete with display racks, containers and trolleys anytime and anywhere, the most useful thing is indeed The base is built on the spot. In less than a few hours after Sandora ordered the construction to start, we had a scattered work site with a span of tens of thousands of kilometers, because the space construction is not so compact, and we need a lot of space to place those in the later stage. Large facility, so the distances between buildings are quite far. This workplace is composed of hundreds of stations that look like star ports. Each "star port" has a polygonal central platform and more than a dozen alloy "long arms" protruding into space. The central platform is where heavy factories and large computing cores are carried, and those "long arms" are really An anchorage port for operational spaceships to take off and land there.
As mentioned above. Each worker base station has a large computing core, this is because the bridging process requires an astounding data throughput - even if Bubbles can handle this data himself, it is too busy, so we have to load additional computing units on all workstations , so as to form an outpost computing network. These additional computing units consist of a simplified version of Xiling brood + a mass-produced bubble + two servers. In order to make them work, we prepared hundreds of mass-produced hosts before departure.
Now the work site has anchored 150,000 kilometers above the gate of the abyss (compared with the gate of the abyss, it is as small as a pebble, it dinged, the gate of the abyss five light years away! This How many lanes does the bridge need to build?), and the mass-produced girls are ready to go to their own "battlefield". At this moment, Bubble is standing on the upper platform of the Admiral Empire, lecturing to his hundreds of identical daughters, and the mother host with a meter of one meter has a serious face: "My proud daughters, when I test you It's here! This will be the new empire... No, this will be the most important moment in the entire void, and you shoulder the supreme and lofty mission! I will fight side by side with you and carry out high-intensity calculations that last from several days to half a month. It depends on how much food is on the starting side, and how powerful our energy furnace is. Remember what your mother told you at this moment: Shadow avatars are power! Profound meaning? Multiple daughter avatars! Ula\^o^/!"
Then hundreds of mass-produced Bubbles yelled together with flat voices with dull expressions: "Profound meaning? Multiple girl clones! Ula\^o^/!" By the way, how did you cheer for the last face
Watching Bubble lead her daughter clones disappear into a teleportation light curtain, I feel... this project may not fail. This has been learned over the years: every time the scumbags in the family go crazy, what we do is surprisingly all-round success. I haven't been able to figure out its principle so far, but it's mostly because the void's brain is too big...
When the workplace was slowly running, the starting end was also sent to its predetermined position.
The current launcher is still in a "sleeping" state, but it is slowly waking up. It's not easy for us to pull it all the way from the Empire Zone. Even when it's packed up, it's equivalent to two-thirds the size of the earth, and due to various weird properties, it can't be folded, compressed, or stored by any space equipment. , so Tavel could only add an ugly large frame outside it. And it installed a large circle of void engines so that this thing can open the order field by itself, and finally it was barely converted into a star warship capable of void navigation. It can be said that this huge equipment is the most important reason why the imperial fleet took nearly a month to sail here: one month! I can hardly imagine that the advanced Void Fleet would need to sail for a month to arrive at the station, all because of this big guy. But now that this thing is still in place, let's stop whining about it.
The fully activated starting end is a brilliant and domineering white light ball, but now it is only in a "semi-asleep" state, so this thing looks more like a dim and weak dwarf star. Its ugly frame and various makeshift fixtures are being stripped clean by the workboat. It itself is also changing from an ugly killer dwarf to an ugly... earthy dwarf, I don’t know why I want to complain about this thing so much, probably because I was blown away by it once, That is not a good memory. The cute Sandora Ball can be said to be the only bright spot in that month-stop here, and I can’t continue to digress.
The starting end is placed in the center of the gate of the abyss (or should it be called the eye of the abyss or the crack of the abyss?), only a few hundred kilometers away from the crack itself. It can be said to be close to the surface of the breach. Although he knew that there would be no problem, Harlan ordered a large number of anchor force field generators to be placed around it to prevent this thing from "falling" into the gate in advance.
Well, if this happened, it would definitely be the worst joke in the Void Realms since its birth, and I have to cry, and I also have to admit that Harlan's consideration is reasonable: the time and space near the gate of the abyss is Deranged, although it has no gravity of its own. But no one can tell whether it will mess up time and space and then drag the start-up end in. There are many difficulties and dangers on the way to learn the scriptures. Now we have ushered in the last shiver, and we must put this last shiver in place.
The activation end, which is a circle smaller than the earth, is placed in the center of the five light-year-long abyss gate, which is quite inconspicuous. Originally, I thought that the spherical activation end would be placed in the center of the eye-shaped abyss gate. It was an eyeball, but now it looks like it's a trachoma at best... But even with the disparity in size, we managed to get it installed. So far, the compatibility of this system seems to be good.
And when the boot end was installed in place, Ding Dong, who had run around outside for a long time, finally came back, bringing information about those blue light groups by the way.
Those light blue strange space creatures are still entrenched above the parent star, and new "clouds" are constantly being sent from the depths of the universe to join this party. These creatures obviously have the ability to observe. Some of them moved slightly towards the gate of the abyss, as if they were very interested in the construction site of the Imperial Army, but they were obviously full of fear of the power of the abyss, so they didn't approach in the end.
Ding Dong called them "abnormal entropy walkers".
The little thing who came back from afar looked excited, as if she was excited because she had discovered a new life form. She jumped up and down in my palm, which made me have to withdraw my attention from the work field (at the moment I am talking with Shandora and others are observing the progress of the project at the space base station), and the tinkling voice came to the ear: "They are abnormal entropy walkers, named after life forms! They are not energy creatures or physical creatures, but It is something related to all life forms—they were born many years after all species in this universe became extinct, and they were produced by the turbulent flow of information caused by the gate of the abyss, and they are entangled bodies of large groups of information , that is, the strange creatures that enter the real space from the purely mathematical space. Ding Dong has not yet figured out their way of survival, but only knows that they regard their home planet as a place to "bath the sun". capable of producing new offspring…”
Basking in the sun? It's the abyss!
The world is so big that there are no surprises. RI
