This mechanized voice stunned Gawain for a moment.
He was no stranger to this sound - he first heard it when he broke away from the satellite. It was this synthetic sound that warned and announced the activation of the escape system. Later, he would occasionally hear it when connecting to the satellite. When he heard the system sound, he was already sure that the sound belonged to the satellite in space - or to the entire space facility group.
He raised his hand, and then tentatively touched the big black book again. This time, there was no response.
Bertira couldn't hear the voice in Gawain's head, but she saw the expression on the latter's face changing instantly, so she was naturally curious: "What happened?"
"This thing..." Gawain concealed his embarrassment, "What is it used for?"
Bertira reached out to the big black book and let it fall into his hands. , the other hand flipped over the sky at will: "It records countless knowledge, and can be set in the setting bar... Huh?"
The pages of the big black book are driven by magic power. Flipping, but no more wonderful images emerged as the pages turned. On each page, there were red crosses and a line of dazzling red words: "Proxy access has been disconnected, please check the validity of the authorization."< /p>
Gawain also saw the words appearing on the pages, and now he was finally sure: this thing seemed to be... broken by himself.
"How...how could this happen..." Bertila also showed a rare expression of shock and even panic, "This has never happened in hundreds of years...it has never..."
"Well... don't worry about its condition for now," Gawain said in a stiff tone, "First tell me what this thing does and its origin, and see if I have any clues. "
Bertila was startled, and then remembered Gawain's identity as an "outside wanderer" - although she kept reminding herself, every time she saw Gawain Cecil's face, she I always forget this - as an "outside wanderer", I must be well-informed, right?
"The Ultimate Book...as I just said, is an extraordinary object we found in this ancient ruins. It was tightly protected in a complex device, but that device This book had been damaged by the passage of time when it was discovered by us. This book records a seemingly endless amount of knowledge, and will be presented in the most suitable language depending on the book - when we first discovered it, it was full of information. Unrecognizable symbols, but after opening it several times, it begins to present content to us in common language
“Its first function is to present a variety of knowledge according to the needs of the user. , but it is limited to things that actually exist in the world and can be seen visually, such as the location of a certain mountain peak or the length of a certain river. There is another detail about this. The knowledge it can present at the beginning is actually very little. Moreover, a lot of content contains errors and omissions, or directly tells the user that "the information is incomplete and needs to be updated", but as time goes by, it canIt began to describe more and more things, as if it had been learning in some way;
"And its second effect is even more incredible than the first: in setting up specific After the conditions are met, it can even deduce the evolutionary results of certain things, such as the success rate of an experiment with certain conditions. Its accuracy in this regard is terrifyingly high. It can even deduce the changes in the situation on the continent, such as ...The civil war in Anzu was partly based on its deduction..."
As Bertila spoke, Gawain's brows could not help but frown. He had never thought about it. The All-Death Society actually holds such a powerful "artifact" in its hands, and after hearing the part about "deduction", he couldn't help but ask: "So, Cecil's development is also in its hands." "Is it being deduced?"
"...No, this is also what confuses me," Bertila shook his head, "It cannot answer all questions about extraterritorial wanderers, and it refuses to deduct extraterritorial wanderers. The development of everything is centered on the author, the prompt is...dangerous access, authorization refused."
Gawain's mind was already spinning rapidly.
Unable to answer the question about the extraterrestrial wanderer... This is easy to understand, because first of all, he, the extraterrestrial wanderer, is not from this world, and secondly, almost all the "information" about the extraterrestrial wanderer is Compiled by himself and imagined by the Eternal Sleeper, this thing called the "Ultimate Book" should not be connected to the Eternal Sleeper's mind no matter how powerful it is, but he refuses to deduce the development of things related to the wanderers outside the territory... This It’s a bit of an “initiative” factor.
The first thing he thought of was the sentence he heard when he touched the Ultimate Book: Illegal media login system detected.
This sentence can have two explanations: Gawain, the time traveler, is an "illegal medium", so he cannot log in to the Ultimate Book, or... the Ultimate Book is an "illegal medium," so he cannot log into Gaowen. Text this "satellite spirit"!
In addition, the deduction function of the Ultimate Book mentioned by Bertila also made Gawain unable to help but think of the origin space, the virtual world created by the Eternal Sleeper, or strictly speaking, the virtual world based on The "simulation calculation function" of virtual world technology.
The Ultimate Book was dug up hundreds of years ago by the Death Council of All Things. The spiritual network of the Eternal Sleeper was only recently completed. Therefore, the book is definitely not linked to the spiritual network, so it is connected to the spiritual network. It should be another super system with powerful computing power that can perform simulation calculations...
Of course, it is not ruled out that this deduction ability is the function of the Ultimate Book itself, rather than being linked to other systems. Some kind of higher-level system, but considering the prompt sound when he touched this book before and the fact that the book had incomplete information at the beginning and then slowly updated the database as if downloading something in the background, Gao Wen couldn't help but think that this thing was just A second-hand dealer of information - what it presents is linked from elsewhere.
Bertira looksWhen Gawain fell into deep thought, although he was full of questions, he still suppressed it and did not speak. However, the squirming vines and slightly trembling roots in the hall revealed that her mood was not peaceful. Gawain also noticed these movements. But he forced himself not to care.
He has already thought about the critical stage:
If it is assumed that the Ultimate Book is linking to another data source, then this data source is known to include the following characteristics:
There is a large amount of data, mainly about various things on the continent (mountains, rivers, plants, distribution, mineral characteristics, etc.), which is suspected to be able to accurately scan the earth;
It should have powerful computing power. This calculation Abilities can be used to deduce events or conduct simulation experiments;
The data is updated at any time, so the Ultimate Book that has not been activated for a long time took a long time to be activated after it was suddenly activated by the Council of Death of All Things. Update and synchronize these data;
Gawain doesn’t know how many things in the world that meet all these characteristics, but he knows at least one - the black technology satellite group in the sky...
Although these were all his own speculations, the more he thought about it, the more likely it became. When he finally looked at the Book of Ultimates, his eyes inevitably turned weird:
Oh my god, I’m afraid this thing hasn’t always been there. Secretly use your own network!
I have traveled through two lifetimes as a human being, yet I still encounter situations where I am being trolled! And the one who was using the internet was a book! Where does this make sense?
Knowing that the Zentraedi fleet that had long since disappeared was unlikely to come back to deal with after-sales issues, Gawain could only curl his lips in his heart, and secretly decided to turn around and let Daniel sleep forever. Open a few more ports on the reader's spiritual network...
Bertila has been waiting quietly until now, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Do you... have any clues?"
Gawain finally woke up from his thoughts. While agreeing casually, he couldn't help but stare at the ultimate book again - at this time, he thought of the sound he heard when he touched the book, and The truth about the situation in which this book lost its effectiveness after being exposed to it seemed to become clear at a glance:
Obviously, it was a black IP that had been surfing the Internet for a long time and suddenly encountered a physical connection to the security system, and was directly connected to the genuine system. Its self-defense mechanism is suppressed... No wonder it refuses to deduce events related to "extraterritorial wanderers". This is obviously a mechanism to avoid danger!
It should be a good thing to get rid of a troll, but Gawain still couldn't help but feel a strange feeling of regret:
Although this ultimate book is I'm just using the Internet, but it seems... after it connects to the satellite system, it can query more things than I, a "satellite expert"...
This may be because of some mysterious ancient technology, or It may be because he can only link to one satellite, but the Ultimate Book is linking to more data sources, but no matter what, this thing seems to be a very useful tool - at least Gawain himself is currentlyIn addition to mobilizing satellite surveillance cameras, there are no functions for data deduction and historical data query...
Gawain's expression became weird again, so much so that Bertila next to him thought that what he saw in front of him was The "Outer Territory Wanderer" had too many emotions when facing a book - this may be caused by some unique ethnic characteristics of the "Outer Territory Wanderer", but she couldn't help but speak out again: " Are you..."
"Nothing," Gawain finally got rid of the lot of thoughts this time. He waved his hand and looked at Bertila with an awkward expression, "According to my Knowledge, this book should be a 'fake', so..."
"You actually saw that it was a fake?" Gao Wenwen just said casually that he wanted to be the ultimate book. He tried to find a reason for the damage, but he didn't expect Bertila to immediately say in surprise, "The wanderer outside the territory really has a lot of mysterious knowledge... It is true, it is a fake, this is its description of itself."
Gawain concealed his embarrassment and asked curiously: "Description of oneself? How is it described specifically?"
"A false key is used to pry open the door of truth. , this thing is a fake, but the method can be very useful - this is the first sentence that appears every time the ultimate book is started. Of course, this sentence is no longer there.”
Gawain: "..."
This is the first time he has heard that "Rengwang" can be described in such a poetic way...
Yes, through the Book of Ultimates With this "self-report", he was even more certain that this thing was copied from the Internet.
He shook his head and brought the topic back to his own rhythm: "Because it is a fake, it is far more fragile than the original. In fact, when you got it, it was already on the verge of reaching its limit. ”
Bertila blinked.
Gawain continued: "And the dangerous experiments you conducted here have further accelerated its damage - its refusal to deduce events about me, the 'outside wanderer', is actually a kind of Warning, it is telling you that its endurance is close to its limit, and some functions have begun to be damaged or limited."
Bertila blinked again.
"So it's a pity that it has been completely damaged due to excessive use, and I can't repair it."
Bertira didn't blink this time, she just looked at Gawain seriously. After a while, he asked expressionlessly: "You really didn't break it?"
"...No."
Bertila: "...Oh ."
Gawain pulled out a stiff smile and said slowly: "Its damage is regrettable, but as the 'artifact' that the All-Death Society has always relied on, it is ending its service. Perhaps the best place to end up is to destroy it later. You also said that this thing is no longer useful to you - I will accept it as a kind of souvenir."
Bell. Tila's expression seemed a little stiff, but she still nodded: "It has neverIt was already yours just now. "
Gawain thought for a while and asked seemingly casually: "Do you care? "
Bertira shook his head: "No... maybe this is its fate. "
...
At the same time, on the surface, Knight Margarita, who was waiting nervously, suddenly raised her head and looked at the huge crown of the giant tree in surprise.< /p>
Countless huge leaves with light runes on the surface suddenly fell off from the branches for some reason. A gust of wind blew by, and large tracts of beautiful leaves fell to the ground as if dancing. Due to the "cable" The scale of "Giant Forest Tree" was huge. For a moment, this leaf-falling landscape could be described as magnificent.
"Why did the leaves suddenly fall off?" "The female knight muttered to herself in a daze.
"God knows," Pittman muttered beside him, "Maybe it's too cold. ”
