It comes from the stars.
Gawain stared at the Kingdom Guardian Shield in front of him. His eyes passed over the weathered and rusted metal accessories covering the shield, and landed on the silver-white metal plate that was the main body of the shield.
The dimly flickering silver light spots on the metal plate are still pulsing slowly as if they are alive, like breathing. It has no vitality, but it seems to have been "alive" for millions of years.
After learning more about the secrets of the "God-killing Fleet", after roughly confirming that this piece of metal comes from the starry sky, and after speculating that there may be a connection between this thing and his "satellite body", When Gawain looked at it, he couldn't help but have more emotions and thoughts in his heart.
He shook his head to expel all the irrelevant thoughts from his mind. Then he glanced at Amber who was waiting next to him, then withdrew his gaze and placed his hand on the silver-gleaming alloy body. , and allowed his spiritual power to spread to the inside of the metal - just like he did when he communicated with the "Eternal Slate".
In the first few seconds, nothing happened. Gawain felt that there was only a huge emptiness at the end of his spiritual power. The ancient starry sky heritage was completely empty, and no new fleet battle report came. , and there was no information left by the ancient forerunners to future generations, but the next second, a loud bang suddenly exploded in Gawain's mind!
He instantly lost the perception of his body, and his five senses and six senses seemed to be all misaligned at this moment. His human perception was replaced by some higher-level and more complex "perception", and he At this moment, this body could not process this kind of heterogeneous information at all - so he felt that his consciousness was stripped away and linked to a new "container", and his senses began to be "overwritten", once Refreshed again and again, calibrated again and again, in the end, a larger data stream that was completely different from his original satellite body successfully established a connection with him.
He heard a consciousness making a "voice" directly in his mind: "The visitor entered the sky system...confirmed as the only connection. Temporary privilege escalation is in progress. Temporary permissions have been granted."
Gawain stabilized his spirit. The intense and turbulent sensory dislocation inevitably brought about a certain amount of panic and tension. However, as a satellite spirit who has long been accustomed to being hung in the sky and having an "inhuman perspective", He was experienced in this area - after making sure that his mind still belonged to him and had no signs of being tampered with or controlled, he began to search in the darkness for clues that might help the current situation.
There is only darkness here, or a hazy curtain of chaos. He can't see or hear anything, but he can feel that there are many entities "around" him that are interacting with the place where he currently lives. The "container" established a connection. This "container" seemed to have opened some kind of access permission to him. However, due to human thinking logic, he was unable to successfully utilize this permission in a short period of time.
However, this is not a problem, he has a satellite systemThe experience of establishing connections between systems. If these things are left behind by the God-killing Fleet back then, then there must be something in common between their systems.
After several attempts, Gawain finally mastered some tricks. He felt that his closed senses began to loosen, and with this loosening feeling, a mysterious creature appeared in front of him in an instant. Something other than darkness -
A perspective overlooking the earth.
Gawain was shocked at first, almost thinking that he had returned to the state of "Satellite Spirit", but soon he confirmed that his consciousness was still free and he should be able to "return" to the body at any time, and then , he also discovered that the perspective overlooking the earth in front of him was very different from the picture he had seen through the surveillance satellite before -
The midpoint of the perspective had changed! The continent that was originally in the center of the field of view is now above the entire field of view, and below the field of view is a large expanse of ocean!
Soon he realized the reason:
He entered another space facility. The orbit or main monitoring perspective of this space facility was different from his previous "satellite perspective".
There are indeed other space stations or satellites still in operation outside the planet’s atmosphere! !
Gawain controlled his slightly excited mood, and began to control his new perspective very unfamiliarly. His eyes passed over the Lorennan continent and the huge forest islands of the elves. He looked towards the endless ocean. Within the swirling atmosphere, he first looked towards the sea southwest of the continent.
A vague artificial building appeared at the edge of his vision.
That is a man-made facility that can be seen from space!
In an instant, a series of information emerged in Gawain's memory: In the ancient times in the elven inheritance, the original elves came across the sea from the west of the continent. They discovered a high tower on the endless ocean, and Entering it recklessly...
The tower is located in the southwest of Loren continent, on the endless ocean!
Could what I saw be the tower that the original elves found on the sea?
However, Gawain soon discovered that he could only see a small part of the facility. He could only see a small part of its base and the huge shadow it cast on the sea. The size of the base was equivalent to a huge island rising in the ocean, and there were a large number of neat, metallic extension brackets extending from its main body into the sea - he could only see so much.
When he tried to extend his gaze further to the southwest, a cold synthesized voice entered his mind: "Error, the C-16 area cannot be activated, the subsystem is offline. "
Gao Wen was startled for a moment, and tried to move the perspective again in the direction of the base. However, the prompt in his mind immediately came again: "Error, the C-16 area cannot be activated, the subsystem is offline. .”
This system comes from nowhere.The beep made Gawain thoughtful. After a moment of thinking, he began to move his eyes in another direction——
...
In the vast space, the vibrant planet is surrounding It is orbiting a gas giant planet that emits endless energy.
The steel sentries left by the ancient ancestors still guard the world loyally, even though they are scarred and old.
Over the planet, outside the atmosphere, space facilities of all sizes operate silently. Space stations and satellites in orbit that have lasted for countless years are floating in the vast darkness. In this place filled with coldness and deathly silence, These ancient devices that have been operating for thousands of years are maintaining minimal communication and data collection, and among them, the largest one is still sleeping——
Its momentum Like a rainbow, it surrounds the entire planet. The tens of thousands of miles of steel body are covered with scars and almost extinguished dim lights. On the surface of this giant ring that orbits the planet synchronously, some places are covered with thick armor, and some places are covered with thick armor. You can see the transparent polymer dome - inside the dome are long-abandoned living or research facilities, and all of them maintain an almost eternal silence in the dead silence.
The starlight from distant space shines across the endless darkness on this ancient space ring, slightly illuminating its armor and the cabins sunk in the darkness.
But suddenly, a small part of this giant space ring "awoke". On the side facing the planet's surface, several lights suddenly lit up, and the corresponding ring cabin also lit up. There was an uncertain light, and the maintenance robot that had hibernated for millions of years emerged from the dormant cabin. The sophisticated and advanced detection drone moved quickly along the slide rail on the inside of the ring. This behemoth seemed to stretch. The waist seems to be breaking out of this long sleep in the next second.
However, this awakening process soon came to an abrupt end - the area that lit up the light finally remained only a small area on the inside of the ring, and other structures of the entire giant ring still maintained deathly silence, in the darkness. No response.
On the side of the giant ring facing the earth, outside a cabin structure shrouded in darkness, there was a huge gap, with radial tear scars extending from the armor covering to the polymer dome. Next to it, some broken fragments are still floating near the gap. The internal air-tight door has been automatically blocked. The energy system has been offline many years ago. The sparks and smoke have dissipated in the depths of space, leaving only the hideous and terrifying place. scars, and a few drops of light golden blood...
...
"Error, the C-18 area cannot be activated, the subsystem is offline."
"The takeover failed, error, the C-18 area cannot be activated, the subsystem is offline, and the backup system is unresponsive."
Continuous prompts sounded in his "mind", and Gawain finally gave up his futile efforts. .
His sight fell on the end of the ocean southeast of Loren continent.Head, far away from human civilization, on the opposite side of the endless ocean, he could already see the outline of a winding coastline.
He recalled the information he had previously received from the Siren and Selina Gale——
Seven hundred years ago, Gawain Cecil and the last The Storm Priests conducted a mysterious voyage. They first headed to the east of the Loren continent, and then, with the help of the Kraken, headed for a safe route to the south...
In the southeast of the Loren continent, Gao Vin Cecil's exploration team discovered a new continent. In the depths of that continent, there is a giant tower that reaches the sky...
That tower seems to be the same as the giant tower that the elven ancestors saw on the southwest ocean. There is some kind of connection, and when Gawain Cecil entered the depths of the continent alone, he most likely boarded the giant tower and received some kind of "revelation" in the tower...
Now , Gawain was almost 100% sure that he had seen the new continent.
The information that originally existed only in intelligence was confirmed, and the evidence that had been lost in history was now witnessed by him.
The new continent southeast of Loren continent exists! The continent that Gawain Cecil visited back then was across the eastern sea of the Silver Empire!
But he could only confirm the existence of that continent, but could not see the situation in the depths of the continent. Although he now had a wider perspective, he still could not break through the limitations of the observation range.
As for the tower on the ocean, he could at least see the base and part of the tower. In the direction of the mainland... he could only see the coastline.
Gawain's line of sight moved from east to west, and then from west to east. Every time the line of sight reached the end, there would be a prompt sound in his mind that the subsystem was offline.
This is different from when using satellites to observe the earth - there will be no such prompts when using satellites to observe, the edge of the field of view is the edge, and there will be no false alarms.
The subsystem is offline, so other areas cannot be activated, and other areas cannot be activated, so things outside the field of view cannot be observed. This shows that a certain space facility he is currently connected to has a scale far beyond imagination - this space The facility should have been able to observe the two giant towers and even targets further away.
It's just that for some reason, most of its structures are currently offline, so Gawain can only activate part of its "lenses."
In the strange inhuman sensory state, Gawain slowly thought about it. He could not "see" his own state, and he could not determine his surrounding environment. There was only one perspective facing the earth. Now, he can only judge what he is connected to through speculation.
This may be a larger on-orbit facility than a satellite, with a more complex structure and function. It may be divided into several modules, and each module can operate independently-this can explain those damaged areas. and subsystem issues.
Then...heIs there any way to figure out what's wrong, or try to fix it? For example, activating an automatic maintenance function or something...
Gao Wen knew that his idea was a bit whimsical, but he still subconsciously issued instructions in his "mind" - he didn't know how to specifically ask or give orders. , so we can only try slowly:
"What is the current situation of the subsystem?"
"Error, the subsystem cannot be queried."
"Yes What kind of repair plan is there?"
The system prompts in silence.
"Is there any redundant system that can replace that subsystem?"
The prompt tone remains silent.
Gawain then tried several different questions, but still didn't get the answer he wanted.
The so-called subsystem seems to be quite damaged, and the voice that responded in his mind itself does not have any available repair solutions - it may even be bad itself, so that after When faced with certain problems, there is simply no response.
Finally, Gawain asked the last question helplessly: "How did the damage happen?"
This time, the prompt sound that had been silent for several rounds of questions and answers unexpectedly With the response, Gao Wen immediately heard a voice ringing in his mind: "Captured the keyword... After querying, start playing the system log."
Before Gao Wen had time to come up with any ideas, He felt his eyes blur, and the next second, he saw a new scene appear in his field of vision:
It still looked like a scene overlooking the earth, but there were some more characters around the scene. The symbols and text of the parameters respectively displayed the planetary data and giant planet energy readings at that time. He realized that this was an observation record from a long time ago, and deduced from it that this thing would not exist without his "satellite spirit" If it is intervened, it will continue to run automatically and continue to collect data on this planet!
With these thoughts emerging, he began to carefully watch this video record from long ago.
At first, the image only showed nearly static land and atmosphere, and this scene lasted for nearly half a minute.
Then, a flash of light suddenly appeared in Gawain’s field of vision!
