In Cecil 6, more and more signs began to show that the demonic tide was approaching the planetary system where Loren's planet was located.
In the past month, the giant sun that shines on the earth has appeared four times with the phenomenon of spreading bloody lines. The powerful disturbing power of the demonic tide has begun to envelope the high-energy celestial bodies in the path of its forward direction. The Demonic Tide Observation Device located in the Augure Tribal Nation is detecting stronger Demonic Tide oscillation signals every day. As this signal continues to approach, even the dark blue network channel that runs stably inside the planet has faint fluctuations. Despite this, This kind of fluctuation is quite slight compared with the optical anomalies visible to the naked eye on the surface of the giant planet, but for Myrmina, who is always staring at the starry sky, every vibration in the deep blue webway is like a heartbeat, heralding the end. The test is approaching day by day.
The sun gradually rose to the highest point in the sky. The cloud-like structure around the giant sun outlined a hazy pattern outside the atmosphere. It looked like a solemn and sacred sky curtain. The surface of the sun's disk The faint wood grains are highlighted in the light, and blood can be faintly spread between the wood grains, forming a subtle structure like a capillary network.
Gao Wen stood quietly on the edge of the terrace, looking up at the extremely obvious vision in the sky. Those bloody lines were like the wounds of the giant planet's collapse, and the faint blood seepage symbolized the end of the world. The bad omen was approaching, but he was watching all this with a calmer expression than ever before. Hetty stood beside him, reporting the intelligence that had just been transmitted.
"As of yesterday, Cangqiong Station The broadcast forwarding array has been closed, and the last magic obelisk has been installed on the outer shell of the space station corresponding to the equator in the Western Hemisphere. The engineering team led by Nicholas is conducting the final connection test on all obelisk devices to ensure that all The system, the redundant system of the whole system, and the redundant system of the redundant system can all operate under extreme conditions;
"The Cangqiong Station itself is currently operating in a stable state, and the full ring energy supply has been restored, but due to Unable to crack the highest authority left by the Sailor, the engineering team was unable to activate more of its functions, and some cabins were inaccessible. Nicholas received news that since some space station sections still have the risk of going offline for the second time, he has laid additional magic network nodes between these sections to prepare for emergency power supply after the space station fails again;
"News came from the observer's secret room. An extremely strong demonic wave oscillation was detected early this morning. It is preliminarily judged that the body of the demonic wave front has begun to contact the gravitational boundary of Austria and has begun to spread into the interior of the planetary system we are in. The shock occurred at the same time as expected. Judging from this, the demonic wave will arrive on time."
Gawain listened to Hetty's report with a calm expression. He nodded slightly, and his eyes were already Crossing the courtyard under the terrace, crossing the square on the edge of the Royal District, and landing in the city opposite the square, the extraordinary person's powerful eyesight allowed him to see the bustling streets of that city, the vehicles passing through the streets, and the running children. , and those who arePeople who are busy working for daily livelihood, although the evil tide is approaching, the world is still running as usual. The mother star barrier plan ensures the maximum stability of social order, and for those ordinary people living under the protection of the barrier, In other words, the end of the world is neither too far nor too near.
At the edge of Pioneer Square, the huge public holographic projection system is operating as usual. Among the looping advertisements and entertainment short films, there are also "announcements to citizens" from the Supreme Government Affairs Department. Pedestrians stopped in front of the holographic projection, and young people with free time walked together beside the square. A cart selling snacks stopped next to the projection device. A young couple stopped and negotiated the price of cookies with the vendor. The child who was holding their hands raised his head curiously and looked at the flickering picture on the giant holographic projection.
For a child who was born in this city and is only a few years old this year, this kind of holographic projection is almost a natural thing in his cognition, just like the cheap and delicious food on the roadside. things, the heat in the house, and new clothes.
On the holographic projection, the interesting short film about the devil has just ended, and then there are huge projects that children cannot understand, including giant ring-shaped structures on the plains, and tall and rough-looking buildings. There are also wonderful things surrounding the planet. A calm and reliable voice is explaining outside the screen. "With the leadership of the leaders of the alliance countries and the efforts of front-line technicians and engineers, the main construction of the defense device has been completed, and the debugging work will be completed in the near future." At the end, observers reported that the magic wave will arrive over the planet on time in the near future
"The protective barrier will be activated before the arrival of the magic wave. By then, citizens can enjoy the global aurora curtain at home in major cities in various countries. A celebration will be held to remind the general public to pay attention to safety when admiring the home star barrier and be careful not to step on it. The barrier will remain open for about a year. For our generation, it will surely become an indelible memory. Our station has specially invited experts in related fields. Next, Master Kamel will explain to everyone some incredible situations during the construction of the home star barrier."
The young children blinked and looked at the projections Things, this boring thing is obviously not as interesting as the short film of Demon Shadow. He tugged the hands of the parents next to him and asked about the content on the projection. However, the young mother showed a helpless expression and explained to a child less than five years old what motherhood was. Star barrier and magic tide are obviously difficult things. In fact, even she herself is not very clear about it. Although this thing appears in neural network and magic network broadcasts all day long, there are also various short videos to popularize knowledge. It turns out that my husband often drinks and brags about "His Majesty the Emperor's sacred project" when he has nothing to do. However, no matter how popular and discussed, this thing is still a bit too complicated for a child.
The young father next to him laughed. He bent down, pressed the child's hair, and said concisely, "It means that on that day, your parents can take you to the square to play, buy a lot of delicious food, and then we canLet’s see what the new wonders created by His Majesty the Emperor look like. ”
So the child got a satisfactory answer, and a pair of young parents temporarily solved the trouble of explaining a lot of questions to their children. They could continue to take a walk on this holiday afternoon and spend the half day opposite the square. Time.
They don’t know whether part of the wealth they created for this society in the past year has been transformed into a screw on the Sky Station or a brick on the Talash Plain. They don’t necessarily understand how the mother star barrier extracts computing power and non-directional thoughts from the neural network when it is running. Their power has been used to resist this doomsday. They have participated in this doomsday, and as billions For one of the tens of millions of people, their connection with this doomsday ends here.
But for others, the fate of this world becomes more real and three-dimensional.
In the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain, the ecological area covered by the giant Thorin trees remains as peaceful and lush as ever. There are small beasts that have lived on the plains for the winter and are emerging from the nearby bushes with bulging meat in their mouths. Berries, eyes alertly alert to the surrounding movements, and birds nesting among the giant branches were hovering in the sky, making a series of chirping sounds. But suddenly, a slight vibration from deep underground broke all the peace. , the birds and beasts with keen senses panicked and fled among the bushes and tree crowns
Deep underground, the huge vine structure was shrinking and squirming, and the solution was surging in the thick biomass pipes. The stored nutrients are poured into each chamber. Between a series of caves and underground palace corridors, Margarita, one of Bertira's incarnations and the regional governor, is quietly watching the scene in front of her.
The extremely strong chitin shell and the artificial reinforced concrete frame together support the huge underground cave. Specially cultivated luminous plants illuminate every corner of the cave. On the edge of the cave, row after row of The culture capsules are being slowly sent into the "slots" made of winding vines. After each culture capsule is in place, a thick shell will rise from nearby to properly protect it deep in the vines, while in the cave In the center, you can see a huge "culture pond". The "pond" made of shells is filled with a thin biomass solution, and several dormant synthetic brains are sinking into the depths of the pond. < /p>
Bertila raised his fingertips lightly, and the culture tank in the center of the cave gradually began to sink into the ground, and a strong and transparent protective shell quickly formed on its surface.
Margarita on the side just watched all this in silence, the slightly undulating light yellow solution in the culture pool reflected in her pupils, like a rippling curtain
"Secretary Agency. After final calibration, all databases were transferred to closed operation and the burial process began. ”
The voice of the Great Astromancer Vilania rang out in the underground hall. As her words fell, a series of low magical buzzing sounds and the roar of mechanical operation began to come from various places.Came everywhere.
Silver Queen Belsetia stood on the high platform at the edge of the hall, watching the elves wearing astrologer robes or mage robes busy everywhere, and in the center of the hall, that The large round platform with complex mysterious patterns has opened a huge hole in the middle. Below the hole is a bottomless shaft, with a faint light surging in it.
In mid-air in the center of the hall, the "Secretary Organ", which is roughly spherical in shape and has a complex rune structure on its surface, is slowly sinking into the hole under the control of the gravity control system. This contains the entire history of the Silver Elf. The teaching institution of culture, technology and philosophical knowledge is silently pursuing its mission. Belsetia's eyes fell on its elegantly curved metal shell. She seemed to see a pair of eyes through the shell that were also watching. own eyes.
At the moment when the secretariat was about to sink completely into the shaft, Belsetia suddenly broke the silence: "Are you looking at me?"
"Yes, Her Majesty the Queen." Secretary. The mechanism made a steady and calm sound.
"I hope you can fulfill your mission," Belsetia said slowly, "I hope you can survive safely until you are reawakened."
The mechanical ball After a few seconds of silence, a slightly trembling response came from within, "Judging from correct logic, the better situation is that I don't have to fulfill my mission, and I will be awakened by your hands soon."
Belsetia was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Okay, then we'll see you soon, good night, secretariat."
"The worm petri dish has been sent to the predetermined depth and the release process is being carried out. ”
The operator’s voice came from the side, interrupting Heragor’s thinking. He raised his head from his contemplation and saw that the crystal curtain above the console was showing the images taken by the submersible. Four pairs of robotic arms are moving flexibly at the edge of the screen, placing cylindrical metal containers on the seabed and releasing the locking mechanisms above the containers.
“You were distracted just now,” Baloger’s voice came from the side. “You rarely get distracted.”
“I just remembered some things from the past,” He said. Lagore smiled and shook his head slightly, "It was a long time ago."
"Oh, what did you think of?"
"Thinking of the time we made the first "At an Omega node," Herago said slowly, "Don't you think it's very similar? It's also a node of fate, and it's also an unpredictable success or failure."
"I don't think so at all. "No," Baloger shook his head. "At that time, our situation was much more desperate than today. Creating an Omega Node was not so much an effective method as it was a situation where we had no other choice." It’s a gamble, but today we have allies, certain means of response, and a future worth looking forward to. We have built barriers and are ready. We are not fighting alone, nor do we have slim hope, and these worms are just It’s a backup just in case.”
Heragor listened quietly and suddenly laughed, "Indeed, it seems that I am sentimental."
In the picture sent back by the submersible, the last metal container was released, and as the others The locking device on the top was opened, and a turbid water flow that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye came out of the container. The undersea worms, which recorded all the history, technology and cultural information of Tallond in their DNA, arrived at their new home.
For these ignorant creatures, this journey from the laboratory to the deep sea is an epic journey.
On another distant planet, another "Talond Creation" who has experienced an epic journey is using his countless sensor terminals to admire the landscape at the junction of dawn and dusk. Brilliant sunset.
The orange-yellow sun has gradually approached the horizon, with ominous red lines covering almost half of its surface. Under this strange sunset, everything on the desolate plain seems to have been painted. A layer of dark red that is difficult to discern with the naked eye.
Several "Dragon Explorer" walkers ran out of the pile of boulders. They opened their photosensitive elements against the setting sun, and then sat quietly at the end of the plain, waiting for the sleep conveyed by Omega. instruction.
In the Omega lair on the other side of the plain, various systems are switching to autonomous operation one by one. In the huge server hall, each running server unit is slowly turning to a low hum.
Omega's main consciousness felt that "drowsiness" was gradually emerging. He slowly withdrew his "eyes" towards the sunset and focused the remaining attention on the "ecology" he had newly built. Dome" in.
Everything is growing well.
The server array is about to be shut down.
In his sleepy state, he sent his last greeting to the only "friend" in his hometown who could talk directly to him.
"Friend Gawain, I am going to sleep. See you next year, good night."
The bright and huge sun in the sky has sunk to near the horizon, and the golden-red sunset spreads all over the world. In the city, the bustling city streets gradually became quiet. Gao Wen stood quietly on the edge of the terrace and received a greeting from the distance.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Good night, Omega, we will see you next year."
