"All data has been sent, and the super-light speed communication array has entered standby mode."
Beltira's voice came from the Magic Network terminal on the desk, and Gawain didn't respond until then. He breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the large armchair, allowing himself to relax a little bit.
Outside the window, the night has fallen, and the bright stars are gradually emerging from the dark sky. In the direction of the city, the street lights have been lit, and the artificial lights are connecting one after another to form a long shining river. The magic guide The light of the car driving at night flows through these rivers. The magic crystal lamp in the study disperses the night light seeping in through the window. The summer heat is gradually receding, and the slightly cold night breeze blows through the window. He came in and relaxed Gawain's body and mind.
After an unknown amount of time, he heard Bertila's voice coming from the Magic Network terminal, "Brother Gawain, I just received the message from the Talash Plain, Ophelia Matrix Another set of data from the Noi people has been input into the home star barrier control array, and the relevant calculation process has begun. It is expected to take three to six days to complete the calculation. Because the amount of data is huge, Ophelia Matrix will personally Supervise the solution process."
"Well, Veronica has submitted a leave application to me today. She said that she needs to focus most of her energy on the home star barrier control center," Gawain said. He nodded slightly and said, "How is the situation on your side continuing to carry out such large-scale data transmission? The load on the Solin Computing Center should be quite large."
"I am dissipating heat. Frankly speaking, the pressure is indeed very high." I feel like my brain is boiling. I may need to find a few rangers to help put some Frost Nova in my brain to make me feel better." Bertila on the communication screen had no expression on his face and his tone was serious, as if he didn't realize what he was saying. It’s too weird from all aspects, “But it’s better than putting the data processing pressure on Antavien. At least the computing units here can be mass-produced. Antavien’s super-light communication array is the only one. One set."
"You have indeed worked hard," Gawain trembled. He managed to maintain his image as a "calm, reliable and good brother", and then he was silent for a moment before speaking. With a trace of emotion, he then spoke, "The next days are waiting for the fate to be revealed. We and Noi have done everything we can, including all preparations and plans. Bertila, the next time we contact Noi should be the last time." "Once."
"This is the last time before the demonic tide comes, Brother Gawain," Bertila tried his best to show a stiff smile on his expressionless face, "We have already talked to the witch lady. We have agreed to report each other's safety after the demonic tide is over."
"Yes, it is the last time before the demonic tide comes. My words are not rigorous enough," Gawain laughed, and then His expression gradually became serious again. He stared at Bertila's eyes on the communication interface and slowly said, "Are you ready over there? I mean"
"I understand what you mean, All preparations are in place," Bertila clicked lightlyNodding, "The energy required for the dormant period has been stored inside Thorin's giant tree. Part of the synthetic brain has completed cognitive adjustments and can enter hibernation at any time. The embryo bank in the root layer and the deep bunker are also in place. If that day comes, , I will faithfully fulfill my promise to you and survive at all costs until the successor starts again on this land."
Gawain nodded slightly, but did not speak again. He just remained silent. He sat there, thinking quietly under the night and light, and then he breathed out softly and looked at Bertila in the holographic projection, but before he was about to say something, Bertila interrupted him. He "No need to say anything more, brother Gawain, I have already said what needs to be said, right? And as far as I am concerned, this is not too heavy a burden."
While saying As she spoke, she seemed to be lost in memories. After a moment of thinking, she spoke quietly in a sighing tone, "Think about it carefully, I have indeed experienced a lot of things over the centuries. I was once a Gondor A druid priestess on the border, she was also the priest leader of the Eastern Pioneer Expeditionary Force. Some people call me a saint among the pioneers, and some people call me the princess of Typhon. I have also fallen into darkness, in the midst of fanaticism and paranoia. I became a frightening dark cultist, but now I have turned into a plant, protecting a land and water. At this moment, hundreds of thousands of people are living under my canopy, and there are countless birds. The fate of beasts building nests among my vines and branches is incredible, isn't it?
"You said, if the home star barrier really fails, then it will rise again from this land. What will my successor call me? A majestic tree from the civilization of the last era, a living relic that remembers countless ancient years and knowledge and talks about it to the world. Maybe many people will gather at my feet, even Becoming a new ethnic group under the Thorin Giant Tree, how should the Thorin Giant Tree be called in the culture and cognition of that ethnic group?"
Gawain couldn't help but be reminded of the scene described by Bertila Many imaginations, even though it was a future that everyone was avoiding, that scene inevitably made his thoughts fluctuate. He leaned back on the armchair and was lost in thought for several seconds before subconsciously muttering: "That sounds right." Suitable for being an epic fantasy game main city"
Bertira "I don't understand. "
"I mean, Film may be interested in filming an epic fantasy fantasy drama based on this theme," Gawain smiled and waved his hand, "I have never been here before. On the other hand, I think now that I think your life is not enough to support a group of playwrights, you can even support three generations of them. "
"Ah, then I'm really looking forward to it," Bertila said with a smile, "Maybe after this demon wave is over, we can ask Mr. Firm to make such a demon shadow. The fantasy drama of the post-apocalyptic era is an idea that no one has ever thought of. "
As she said that, she shook her head again, "But now I have more important things and I really need to find some help.I put a few Frost Novas in my brain with my hands, and one of the servo brains seems to be really boiling."
When Gawain heard this, he immediately waved his hands, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up Go ahead and talk to me for so long even if your brain is boiling. "
Bertira's figure disappeared from the communication screen, and Gawain let out a long sigh of relief. He stood up from behind the desk and came to the window, letting the cool night breeze soothe his nerves. , but this time he couldn't relax for too long. Rhythmic footsteps suddenly sounded from the direction of the corridor, and then there was a knock on the door of the study.
He was walking in the corridor and came in through the door. Knocking on the door in advance, of course the noise could not be Amber Hetty's voice reached Gawain's ears, "Ancestor, are you in there?"
Gawain immediately straightened his expression and turned to look at the door. Come in. ”
The heavy wooden door was pushed open immediately. Hetty, who was wearing regular clothes, pushed the door and walked in. She first glanced at the magic network terminal on the table that was already in standby mode, and then looked at Gao Gao. Wen bowed slightly, "Ancestor, Rebecca is back. "
"Is the gathering in Rebecca's Disobedient Courtyard over yet?" Gawain raised his eyebrows, "It's a little earlier than expected." Is everything going well over there?"
"Everything goes well. The final handover and plan adjustments have been completed. According to the plan, the Disobedient Assembly Hall will be closed after today, and the focus of the Theocratic Council's monitoring will shift to the regional church headquarters. The subsequent sacrificial ceremonies of the alliance countries will also be carried out according to the schedule until the mother star barrier is activated," Hetty reported seriously, but then the expression on her face was a bit strange, "It's just that there was an unexpected situation on Rebecca's side. . "
When Gawain heard this, he felt his heart beat faster. "How could she be surprised? This is the last gathering. Could it be that she burned down the golden oak tree in Amoun with a fire? "
"She brought back a lot of gifts from the assembly hall, saying they were the graduation souvenirs left by the gods for her." Hetty's expression was a little blank, "Three large cars were pulled back. At this time It has been unloaded in the back garden. Ms. Enya is helping to check whether there is any residual contamination. Rebecca dare not come to see you for fear that you will say that she accepted academic bribery."
Gaowen "The word academic bribery is Is it used here?"
Hetty sighed and pressed her temple with her hand. "She even took back the armrest of the God of Mountains and Forests throne as a graduation commemoration. Do you still care about her wrong choice of words and sentences? "
Gawain""
At the same time, deep in the Talalash Plain, under the starry sky, countless high-power magic crystal lamps were shining on the edge of the Deep Blue Well impact crater. Surrounded by a large building standing under the starry sky, the building is brightly lit inside and outside, and its hard and straight lines are like sharp blades pointing to the sky under the illumination of engineering spotlights. Its main body consists of a towering main building, surrounded by It is a four-sided hexagonal prism structure. At the most conspicuous position on the front of the main building, you can see a huge curtain hanging from above. The words on the curtain look particularly distinctive under the light.Tomorrow celebrates the successful completion of the main control building of the home star barrier control center.
In order to maximize efficiency and shorten the construction period, this magnificent building has basically no external decoration except for its large scale, and extensive use of prefabricated structures and engineering magic was used during the construction process. Auxiliary, it even has part of the building frame carrying equipment that is welded in the factory and sent directly to the Talash Plain for assembly by a huge anti-gravity carrying platform. This kind of extreme compression time is ensured on the premise of ensuring quality. The construction method has a staggering cost, and the final product has absolutely nothing to do with "beautiful" or "exquisite". But from another perspective, this rough and towering building has another kind of beauty.
It stands like a stubborn stone, facing the starry sky with unpolished rough and hard lines, as if it is fully displaying some kind of strength and some kind of fearless attitude in such a rough building. Inside the object, there are crystallizations of the most cutting-edge technology in the world, engineering creations created by the most intelligent and courageous mortals on the planet.
In the main control building of the control center, a huge column with an alloy shell and an extremely complex internal structure runs through more than half of the floors. Countless nerve circuits extend around this column, connecting There are computing nodes, switching arrays, and energy groups everywhere. At the root of this alloy column, there is a wide hall on the third underground floor of the building. It is the "nerve center" of the entire main control center and is also the base of the mother star barrier. The key point to establish the connection between "sky part" and "earth part".
One of the "Puppet Avatars" directly controlled by Ophelia is currently standing quietly in this "Foundation Hall", staring at the mental hub that is running low in front of her, the surface of the column The lights flashed, and the low humming sound coming from inside showed that it was processing huge data throughput. In places where she couldn't see it, Ophelia could directly sense the countless lines connecting from the deep blue well. The communication lines extending deep underground are connected to the compatibility array at the bottom of the mind hub. Those communication lines are essentially an extension of Ophelia's matrix, and can even be regarded as a part of herself.
Although this building was just completed yesterday, in fact many of its core equipment had already started operating a few days ago, and were even being operated during construction. In the face of life and death, everything had to be Giving in to pragmatism, as long as it was passable and safe, Ophelia didn't pay attention to any "completion celebrations" outside.
"The response of the Deep Blue Network Channel control node is good, the planetary shield is in a state of activation, the communication test with the Cangqiong Station is normal, the data broadcast channel is smooth, and the key key is being solved"
One piece of data flowed rapidly in the thinking thread, and the "puppet avatar" controlled by Ophelia showed no expression on his face, although at this time many people had begun to celebrate the completion of this building on the surface. I am delighted with the smooth acquisition of the key key and the achievements at this stage, but as aAn ancient intelligence that could think like a machine, but she knew that it was not time to completely relax yet.
The parent star barrier consists of two key "elements". One part is the "planetary shield" as the barrier itself. The essence of this shield is to modulate the deep blue network channel inside the planet, Release, projected into space in the form of a shield, is to switch the Deep Blue Network Channel originally located in the celestial body to "external operation", and this part of the control depends on the rune stones in the Deep Blue Network Channel. Specific to the execution level, it is The Ophelia Matrix deep underground in the Deep Blue Well takes over directly;
The other part of the home star barrier is the "reverse divine barrier" projected by the planetary shield as a carrier, or According to the Noi people, it is called the "Mind Unified Field". This is a huge data projection system. The key lies in this "Mother Star Barrier Control Center". The key to the effectiveness of this Mental Unified Field is that it has not yet been completed. The "key" to the solution.
The solution of the key has not yet been completed, and the transformation project of the space station has not yet been completed. Although they are all proceeding smoothly, and some have even reached the end, as long as the final result has not been determined, The Ophelia Matrix will always run vigilantly.
Because this is not only her responsibility, but also her commitment.
Deep underground in the Deep Blue Well, the huge Ophelia Matrix is running at high speed, with a low hum reverberating throughout the hall. Another "puppet incarnation" controlled by the Ophelia Matrix "Slowly walking between server nodes, she came to the platform in the center of the hall, where the descendant of the ancient Norton royal family, who was sealed in a crystal container as if sleeping, was lying quietly in the container.
Like many times in the past many years, Ophelia Matrix looked at the "creator" lying on the platform who looked exactly like her at the moment. She felt the influence from all over the Loren Alliance. The data from the sky station in space and from another planet four light-years away surged in his computing nodes, and finally a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"I will definitely live up to your expectations.",,
