Sword of Dawn

adjutant:"……"

But Byron didn't seem to notice the adjutant's eyes of "Are you sick" for a moment, his eyes just turned to the sea directly in front of him, the giant tower connecting the Sky Station and the surface of the planet has become more and more eye-catching at this moment, and On the sea surface between the giant tower and the Winter, a huge white wave is gradually expanding, and a huge ship with a streamlined dome is rising from the submerged state.

That is Kraken's large submarine transport ship - "Dinghai Pingbian Mighty General".

That ship carried thousands of deep-water technicians and deep-sea witches who were preparing to enter space to perform engineering tasks, while the Winter at Byron's feet and the dozens of transport ships and engineering ships behind the Winter were full of people from Tarash. Ironman engineers from the plains, dragon descendants and dragon technicians from the two giant dragon kingdoms, and a huge number of engineering components.

Next, all of this will be sent into the sky by the giant elevator left by the sailor!

Chapter 1548 Under the Babel Tower

The lofty clear sky, the calm sea like a mirror, and the towering tower standing in the center of this mirror-like calm ocean—no matter how many times he sees it with his own eyes, Byron can’t help but be impressed by the astonishment left by the sailor. Creation is deeply shocked.

Even if he controls a powerful war machine like the Winter, even if he has an entire fleet under his command, when he comes to the foot of this giant tower that reaches the sky, he can't help but feel awe.

But while this awe came to his mind, he couldn't help but think of what Gao Wen once said to him: One day, the civilization on this planet will also develop to the height of the sailors, and mortals will A giant tower leading to space will be built, a giant steel city will be built outside the atmosphere, and the ships of the next generation will fly across the stars like light. What the sailors did, all living beings on this planet can also do.

The Bitter Winter has landed, and Byron took the landing craft to the landing field on the southeast side of the giant steel island. He looked back to the edge of the landing field, and saw a part of large machinery extending from the engineering ship undergoing intense and orderly loading and unloading operations. The lifting device as tall as the main building of the castle extends from the side of the engineering ship to the coast, and the anti-gravity runes on the bottom of the transfer pallet are shining in the sun. The heavy and huge components are lightly carried ashore and quickly become part of the new dock. Or sent to that tower after initial reorganization.

On the other side of the landing site, you can see a large number of barracks and other base facilities built with prefabricated parts. The towering obelisk of magic energy is slowly rotating on a platform in the center of the base, and the surging energy it releases maintains the stability of the base. At the same time, it also provides additional energy supplies for the equipment that has just been removed from the dock. Several officers stationed in the base came out to carry out the handover work with the Imperial Fleet, and the new supplies were moved into the warehouse behind them. .

That base was set up when the "Sky Maintenance Engineering Team" set off, and it has been in operation for half a year. It serves as the ground command center and logistics support point for the engineering team in space, and it is also the engineering personnel returning from space. It is a "ground rest station" for people to temporarily rest and adjust their status. The most loyal and outstanding soldiers of the empire are stationed at the base, and a considerable proportion of technical soldiers and mechanical officers are among them, although they cannot They went to the sky to perform missions, but even during the days when they stayed on the ground, they also completed a lot of research and sampling work on the remains of the voyager while maintaining the operation of the base.

In Byron's mind, the imperial research troops stationed in the depths of the vast ocean were all admirable soldiers, and the barracks under their feet was the farthest frontier of the empire—even the farthest frontier of the civilized world.

On the east side of the landing site, on another coastline adjacent to the human wharf, there is another separate coastal facility. The buildings and mechanical facilities there are completely different from the "painting style" familiar to the land races. Already, a large number of architectural structures shaped like shells or corals, as well as water storage tanks and suspended pure water balls that can be seen everywhere make people think of the deep sea, and the beautiful figures busy between those wonderful buildings and facilities (and Abstract figure) makes it easy to see who owns the port at a glance.

That was the seaport built by the Krakens, and it was named "Siren". Because of the time difference, Byron was unable to see how this large-scale seaport was built, but it is said that he was stationed in the "Imperial Port". "Soldiers described that the "Siren Port" "rises up" from the bottom of the sea almost overnight-the Krakens used some kind of extraordinary technology to turn an old port that was originally located near their capital "Antavien" It was "pulled" directly from the seabed, then fitted with giant propellers and drove directly to the southwestern waters of Loren, and "installed" it on the base of the orbital elevator within a few hours. That scene is said to be quite spectacular.

Byron deeply regrets that he was unable to witness the construction process of "Siren Port", but his Siren friends are very generous about this. These deep-water creatures with deep brains said that they can dismantle the Siren Port and build it again. Going to the Iron Island to "fuck" once is like performing for the friendly army. They are idle anyway...Byron thought about it for three days, but in the end he didn't have the nerve to accept it.

As for now, the "Siren Port" is also in a very busy state like the Imperial Port. and slowly opened the door of the warehouse, a lot of strange-shaped sea monsters fell into the giant pool next to the pier just like the seafood unloaded from the cabin, and there was another group of sea monsters beside the pool, directing While unloading, they use various fishing equipment to fish up their sisters...

At the same time, in some kind of "elemental field" built near the submarine cargo ship, it can be seen that many hazy and large-scale things are gradually taking shape, which are being transmitted from Antavien Certain large equipment.

The Krakens have a wonderful "elemental transition" technology, which allows them to release themselves or some physical substances that have been transformed into special elements to any place on the planet, but this first requires the construction of some kind of "beacon anchor" point", and secondly, a huge amount of energy and a suitable elemental environment are required.In the years when Antaveen was in poor condition, opening such a teleportation cost so much that the Krakens almost sealed up this technology, but now it is said that half of Antaveen's core fusion tower has been restored. With the above functions, the Krakens are finally willing to restart their teleportation field - the huge "submarine cargo ship" is equipped with a powerful teleportation enhancement array, and this is the first time Byron has seen it running .

The things in the deep sea are amazing.jpg.

Standing like this on the coast of the Iron Island, blowing the sea breeze, looking at the sea that was forcibly suppressed by some mysterious force field and showing a mirror-like calm state from time to time, Byron waited for an unknown amount of time before he suddenly heard footsteps Came from behind him, along with the sound of footsteps, was a familiar aura.

Before he could turn around, Azalena's voice came into his ears with a smile: "How long have you been in this pose here? Just put on a pose that looks like you have the world in your heart and wait for me to come over, right? "

Only then did Byron turn around and saw the striking red-haired "Dragon Seal Witch" looking at him with a smile, he grinned happily and waved his hands: "What do you mean by posing? That is to have the world in mind—I am now the commander of the Imperial Navy, and my vision is different from before..."

"Okay, okay, I know you are not what you used to be, don't need to stress to me," Azalena waved her hand, then took a deep breath, and then slowly let it out as if she was savoring it seriously, repeating this two or three times Afterwards, she shook her head with a little sigh, "Sure enough, the air on the surface is more comfortable... Although the 'above' has the atmosphere and gravity created by the life support system, it always feels awkward."

Byron frowned when he heard the words: "The living environment at Sky Station is very bad?"

"That's not true," Azalena shook her head, "it's basically a psychological effect—the thought of being in a steel shell in a cold space far away from the land and ocean, and this steel shell is already in space. The center has been running quietly for more than 100 million years, even if there is a pure atmosphere and a normal gravity environment around you, you will still feel pressure, not to mention that there are many strange cabins on the sky station, the tension and pressure are everywhere. Unavoidable...Fortunately, we have a convenient track elevator, and several teams can return to the surface for repairs in turn."

"I didn't see you last time I came here," Byron shrugged. "I didn't see you last time. You were either exploring in the unknown cabin, or you were on duty at a transit station."

"After all, the task is heavy and there are few manpower. There are more and more areas activated on the 'above'. The engineering personnel we brought over at the beginning are less and less enough... But it is much better now, with the recent replenishment of manpower, In addition, the mother star barrier project has officially started, and the sky station is gradually becoming lively, and the first batch of engineering teams, including me, also have the opportunity to change their guards frequently and rest."

As Azarena said, she raised her eyebrows suddenly, and looked at Byron with a half-smile: "What about you? The admiral of the Imperial Navy is now escorting cargo ships and projects like a transport captain. The ship transports freighters between Loren Continent and the orbital elevator, isn’t this the same as the scene you described to me when you were ambitious?”

Faced with the ridicule in Azalena's tone, Byron rarely did not hold back the scene immediately, but sighed in a rare way: "To be honest, it's better to be a transport captain than to fight non-stop. In His Majesty's words, there are already enough demons and ghosts falling on the heads of human beings in the past few years, at least it is better to stop before the tide of demons arrives."

Azalena looked at the "regiment leader" who was no longer young in front of her in surprise, as if it was difficult to connect him with the young, reckless, and hot-blooded mercenary leader in her memory, but soon , the surprise on her face turned into a smile: "Your words don't seem like what a commander should say. I don't know what your soldiers will think when they hear it--but I'm very happy to see it." Until you finally become a calm person."

"There is no contradiction between not being warlike and not being afraid of war," Byron said casually, and then he patted his head as if suddenly remembering something, reached out his hand to feel in his bosom, and found out after searching for a long time. Serena took out a small box with her more curious eyes, and he casually handed it to the Dragon Seal Witch in front of him, "By the way, this one is for you."

At this moment, Azalena was really shocked. Her eyes were wide open, and she stared at Byron for a long time like looking at a strange creature. After half a minute, she reached out to take the box, but her face was weird. His expression didn't fade at all: "You actually know how to prepare gifts? Has your brain been affected by something after staying with the sea monster for a long time?"

While talking, she took a look at the box in her hand, and found that it was just an ordinary rough wooden box with poorly crafted patterns carved on the surface, giving people the feeling that it could be bought for three copper coins in the market As long as the price is more than four copper plates, the stalls will be smashed by passers-by, but after opening the box, she saw a beautifully crafted, well-shaped A chic brooch.

It was a leaf carefully entwined with metal wire. The edge of the leaf was jagged and undulating, shaped like a delicate dragon's wing, with small crystals inlaid on the edge. It didn't look expensive, but it was indeed exquisite.

Byron scratched his hair, his face seemed a little embarrassed: "This brooch is made of peas. She said she would give it to you, so I just pass it on..."

Azalena blinked, her expression didn't know whether she was crying or laughing for a moment, and in the end she could only sigh helplessly, and shook her head with a look of "as expected of you": "Okay, thank Pea for me, It's really beautiful, I didn't expect her to learn this..."

With hesitation on his face, Byron held back for a long time before finally speaking: "Actually, I have prepared a gift for you too..."

Azalena was stunned for a moment, then looked at Byron curiously: "Ah... what about the gift?"

"That box in your hand is," Byron pointed to the wooden box in the hands of the Dragonmark Witch, "I modified it with the pencil case that Pea had when she was a child..."

Azarena: "...?"

"Actually, I want to buy a more delicate box, but for some reason Pea insists on making one myself—I don't know how to do it, so that's the only way I can do it," Byron spread his hands, with a helpless expression on his face, " If you feel that your craft is not good..."

"The craftsmanship is really bad, but you did it yourself anyway, so I'll bear with it," Azalena interrupted the other party dumbfounded, then shook her head, "Although I don't know why you insist on giving me a box... ...Forget it, I'll accept this."

After finishing speaking, the Dragon Seal Witch paused, and then showed a somewhat troubled look on her face: "I accepted it, but I still have to think about how to return the gift to you and Pea. Pea's is okay, and I will return to land later. I'll pick out gifts for her when I'm here, but you guy... what hobbies do you usually have? I remember you like to drink, but you'd better quit drinking at your age..."

Byron waved his hand: "Age is not a problem, I can keep drinking!"

"Hold on, sir!" Azalena was about to fly, but at the last moment she considered the strength of the Dragonborn's feet and stopped abruptly. Then she seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly turned around and ran towards the camp. Go to the side and say, "You wait here! I have something for you!"

Byron just watched this so-called "witch" woman go all the way away with a look of astonishment, running faster than the charging knight, and after a while he watched the other party rush back from the camp, behind Smoke billowed, and there seemed to be something on his shoulders - he didn't see what it was until the other party ran close.

Azalena was carrying a dark red scale that was as big as a shield all over her body.

With a sound of "boom", Azalena put the scale that was almost a person's height in front of Byron, and she held the upper part of the scale and smiled at Byron: "This is for you, I just did it a while ago. Replaced..."

Byron: "...?"

After being stunned for a long time, he finally realized: "Is this the style of painting that you dragons give people? Can the shed scales be used as gifts?"

"You're still not happy, are you?" Azalena stared, "If you go back a few years, do you know how much a piece of dragon scale is worth in the human world? More than 90.00% of the dragon scales are filled with gum and then dyed... I am [-]% true!"

"This...well," Byron's forehead was covered with cold sweat. It seemed that it would be very difficult not to accept this thing today, but he was still a little at a loss in the face of this special gift, "But I will take this What's the use of going back..."

"Then I don't care about it," Azalena waved her hand, "You can use it to sharpen a knife, or use it as a table with four legs, if it doesn't work, you can use it as a shield—I heard that you His Majesty had done almost the same job back then..."

Byron: "..."

Chapter 1549 Building a Giant City

With the surging energy being injected into the acceleration system, the ancient giant orbital module began to move towards the orbiting sky space station. The orbital module was equipped with 120 engineers and the first batch of 22 sets of "parent star barrier broadcast components". Thanks to the amazing technology of the voyagers, these cargoes will be smoothly transported into space within a few hours, and installed at several reserved points near the transportation module in the next few days, and after a week, they will be delivered to space. Trial run without access to the neural network.

Among the stars, the ancient Sky Station is quietly floating in the dark space. The majestic orbital elevator extends from the surface of the planet to the inner ring of the space station. The traffic cabin connected to the orbital elevator is brightly lit. The engineering team led by Nicholas Today, about one-tenth of the energy group of the entire space station has been successfully restarted, and these continuously "awakening" systems have awakened the rest of the space station one after another. A wave of awakening is spreading inside the sky station. Almost every day, there are New lights come on at the far ring of Sky Station.

Against the backdrop of the vastness of space, these lights stretch out in the dark like a Great Wall of Lights encircling the planet.

At the inner edge of a ring near the traffic cabin, eye-catching sparks light up the space. The flickering particle jets and the lights on the nearby bulkhead complement each other. A construction machine with a strange structure is using its limbs like arms and legs to hold Wrap the nearby support tube firmly, and use its front-end structure like a spear to perform welding operations on the outer wall of the space station, and in the "head" of this construction machinery, you can see a high-strength transparent polymer Cassandra, who was wearing a deep-space work suit, was sitting inside the "spherical shell", holding the joystick in her hand, nervously watching the progress of the construction machinery.

After a while, the welding flame gradually extinguished, and Cassandra breathed a sigh of relief in the operating cabin, and turned on the communication system next to her: "The welding on my side is over, and the external fixed frame has been connected to the designated position, who is here to check? "

After a while, Cassandra in the cockpit saw the nearby gates open, and Iron Man Commander Alice floated out from inside. This lady whose whole body was made of precision machinery was only wearing normal clothes, without any protection. equipment, but the magic mechanism in her body opened up a shimmering shield, which shone in space, resisting the ubiquitous high-energy rays in the universe—except for this shield, Alice did not No life support system is required.

"Sometimes I envy you all," Cassandra couldn't help but said in the communicator, watching Miss Alice in space activate the magnetic force on the soles of her feet and approach the welding point step by step, "Hold on!" The shield is directly active in space, and we sea monsters have to rely on protective clothing, or we will freeze in space and turn into an ice fog..."

"Iron men are born to perform tasks in harsh environments," Alice did not open her mouth, but her voice sounded directly in Cassandra's cockpit, "Our group has accepted Her Royal Highness Ophelia's special Transformation, enchanted bionic skin and internal thermostatic shell are enough to cope with the extreme temperature in space—but compared with the space engineering machinery you use now, this is not a very advanced technology.”

"Ha, that's really a big thank you for the compliment—I didn't even think that one day I'd be able to sit on something like this and perform extravehicular welding tasks again," Cassandra laughed, and patted the dashboard in front of her, and then He hurriedly and carefully checked the places he had photographed, and said angrily, "These things are all made from old antiques in the warehouse. Although the key parts have been replaced and remodeled with new technologies, the working conditions can be compared with my own. It’s incomparable to what I remember.”

Sirens used to be an interstellar civilization that mastered the technology of manufacturing giant starships. Although they were eventually stranded on this primitive and barbaric planet, Antavien's ancient database and Ganakuri still preserved the traces of this powerful civilization. Ancient Afterglow——In order to carry out the repair task of the Sky Station, the Krakens took out all the good things at the bottom of the press box, including the space operation equipment that had been dusty for hundreds of thousands of years, such as the protective clothing on Cassandra , and the small engineering machine she is operating called "Deep Space Fish".

Of course, this is a revised product that has been redesigned according to the environment of this universe and localized using "magic technology". Due to the hasty design, its performance is not as good as Cassandra remembers—the original version The "Deep Space Fish" is designed to maintain Antaveen's eco-dome and has combat functions. It clings to the hull of the starship with its arms and legs, and its powerful welding nozzles can perform armor plate repairs. After being overloaded, it is used as a beam turret to intercept meteorites. The one in front of me... Obviously not.

Not to mention using the beam turret to intercept meteorites and small hostile spaceships, its arms and legs will even get stuck from time to time, and the efficiency of the sensors is appallingly poor, so that after the welding operation is completed, auxiliary personnel are required to visually observe from outside the cabin acceptance……

"It's better than nothing," Alice's voice came through the communicator, waking Cassandra from those long and vague memories, "Think about it, just a few years ago, didn't you still bother with the most basic Is it the energy problem? And now you can go back to the position you are familiar with, manipulating such a machine to perform space welding tasks-I think this is quite an amazing development."

"...You have learned how to comfort people, Miss Alice," Cassandra glanced at the iron man commander who was checking the welding points at the front of the construction machinery with some surprise, "I remember that when you first came, you only knew about 'task' and 'Instructions' two things..."

"I installed a relatively advanced emotional simulation and learning module to adapt to the situation of performing tasks in cooperation with other races," Alice explained sternly, "In addition, as the first... correction, as the second to leave the Iron Man network As an independent Iron Man, my activity records will become an important reference for subsequent model improvements and upgrades, so Her Royal Highness Ophelia has opened up many permissions for me, which allows my mind to grow like Diana."

"...The queen said that every civilization has its own technology to be proud of. I think the mental core in your stomach is amazing." Cassandra sighed sincerely, then raised her head and looked at the distant land. landscape.

Against the background of a vast starry sky, she saw that the inner side of the sky station ring stretched infinitely into the distance like a slightly upturned steel land. The silver-gray steel had a cold and hard texture, dotted with stars. On both sides of this iron land, she seemed to be looking into the starry sea, and between the lights, steel and the background of the starry sky, she could see four or five places shining light, those lights flickering and dimming. The inner ring shines brightly.

That was the other team doing the welding work, her deep sea sisters, and her dragon and iron friends.

Every shining place means a "mount point", and every "mount point" means a "broadcasting device".Now the orbit elevator is sending the first batch of engineering components and engineering personnel who came to support into space, and in the near future, more personnel and materials will be sent into the sky, and those engineering components will be fixed at the sky station On the ancient and magnificent steel barrier, when the planetary shield rises from the earth and closes in space, the broadcast array in the inner ring of the sky station will come into contact with the mother star barrier, forming the largest data exchange system in history.

Afterwards, the neural network will complete the final connection with this "planetary shield", and the minds of all beings on earth will turn into a tough barrier called "the mother star barrier", and bravely face the most primitive and deepest malice in this universe.

Cassandra withdrew her gaze into the distance, and when she raised her head, Loren's verdant land and blue ocean were quietly floating above the operating cabin, and the outer tube wall of the orbital elevator pointed to the surface of the planet from afar. From this position, In the past, everything on that land has been merged into the blue and green background, and there are no country and country, city and city anymore.

But Cassandra knew that at this very moment, the industrial machinery of this planet had been roaring into action, and mortals were casting an ambitious giant city outside their cradles—since ancient times, since primitive people built it with stones and mud. The first wall was built. Since the king cast their castle with steel and bricks, until today the Alliance of Loren built this mother planet barrier, the efforts of all beings in the world to build walls for survival have never stopped.

Ordinary people are very fragile, so vulnerable that a strong wind, a fire, or an epidemic may take hundreds of thousands of lives. It is also because of this weakness that they have to embrace the gods in order to seek success in the difficult and dangerous world. Peace of mind, they huddled behind high walls, hoping to resist the cold wind and beasts in the wilderness.

But this is how all beings walk step by step in their weakness, and finally reach the position shoulder to shoulder with the gods they created, and reach the height of looking around among the stars.

Then, facing the deeper darkness among the stars and the greater malice in the world—in order to survive, they built higher and larger walls. They once again huddled behind the high walls tremblingly, waiting for the doomsday to come. They will definitely survive, but if they survive, then their eyes will definitely look further away, until a new city is built, reaching the end of the stars.

A sentence suddenly appeared in Cassandra's mind, and she couldn't help but whisper to herself: "If the weak are not cowardly, the weak will live forever; if the strong have no restraint, the strong will never survive..."

"What are you talking about?" Alice, who was inspecting the welding point, raised her head and looked curiously at the cockpit of the construction machinery. "It doesn't sound like a proverb from Loren Continent..."

"It's a saying from my hometown," Cassandra explained, "meaning that weak creatures can survive long if they face their own weakness and overcome the fear If we are restrained and unscrupulous, we will disappear in greater crisis sooner or later - this is what a wise man said in our ancient times. At that time, we were struggling to survive on the seabed, and we relied on our relatively strong vitality and resilience to deal with powerful threats. Deep sea predator."

"The sea monster...weak?" Alice's tone sounded unbelievable, "You sea monsters will also be threatened by predators? Are there any predators stronger than you?"

"We are not predators, we love peace," Cassandra laughed, "and I'm talking about a long time ago, when we were a relatively weak race, let alone create Spaceships capable of navigating in space have never even seen what they look like on the surface of the sea. At that time, the most terrifying deep-sea predators in our eyes were actually just some sea beasts. Later, we raised them in protected areas inside……"

"Interesting data, I want to record it and upload it to Ironman Network later," Alice listened thoughtfully, then shook her head, "But let's focus on the task now, Miss Cassandra, the welding point has been After the inspection, all indicators meet the design requirements, and we can carry out the next engineering task.”

"Work, work," Cassandra patted her face and quickly lifted her spirits, "Which area is next?"

"Wait a minute, I'll send the information..."

……

On the Tarash Plain, on the edge of the Deep Blue Well impact crater, a large-scale building is under intense construction—although it only has a large construction site and a large number of skeleton-like frames at the moment, but only from the scale of these things, It is enough to make people speculate on its grand appearance in the future.

Powerful construction machinery was running briskly on the construction site, and the energy pipes directly connected from the Deep Blue Well provided unlimited surging energy for all the facilities on the construction site after conversion. The iron and steel machinery is busy, and a large curtain is hung on the wall at the entrance of the construction site, with a line of large characters written in the common language of mankind:

"Mother Star Barrier Ground Control Center"

A slender figure quietly stood on a high platform near the construction site, looking at the tense and busy construction site.

This figure has blond hair and a shawl, wearing a palace dress that obviously does not belong to this era and was quite popular in the Gondor period. Her face is as delicate as a doll. Standing in the cold wind, she has a panoramic view of the entire construction site , and a few meters behind her stood a row of iron soldiers, these iron soldiers remained motionless in the wind, like sculptures.

In the past hundreds of years, Ophelia has never left her "doomsday bunker". On the Tarash plain above her head, even after the Battle of Tarash, she created a "body" that truly belonged to her under the advice of Gawain, and this body basically only moved underground.

Today is the first time she left the underground fortress with "her own body" and set foot on this land in person.

The memory from the real Princess Ophelia in history flows quietly in the matrix, and the memory still retains the past scenery of this land, in which there are majestic cities, vast fields, and flying in the sky The magic mechanism and the towering mage towers, but all of these have long disappeared in the earth-shattering explosion 700 years ago. What Ophelia Matrix saw with her own eyes was another scene of desolation but grandeur. screen.

The wilderness is barren, but countless towering energy facilities are rising from the ground, and the old city is disappearing, but the foundation of the mother star barrier command center used to shelter this world has been laid, and the sky that was once covered by charged clouds is now clear again, although it is no longer She couldn't see the magic flying carpet and magic flying boat that shuttled through the clouds, but she could see the castle-like Gorgon Flying Fortress and escort formation cruising in the clouds.

There are also the griffins of the Typhon Empire and the giant eagles of the Silver Empire, cursing at the street at low altitude.

It's also a landscape.

Chapter 1550 "Simulation"

A new control center is being built in the hinterland of the Tarash Plains. This control center is directly connected to the underground Ophelia matrix. The newly designed information transmission system cooperates with the advanced computing array left over from the Gondor era. It is used to handle huge computing tasks—this includes sending and receiving signals to a large number of runestone nodes in the deep blue network, including real-time control of the energy circulation over the planet, and also including the processing of massive data exchanges between the parent star barrier and the neural network.

But the control center at the center of the Tarash Plains is not the only "brain" of the mother star barrier. There are two other backup control centers in the Sorin Plain and the Elven King's Court that will soon start construction. These control centers have complete functions. And rely on the neural network to coordinate with each other, and the distributed structure of the neural network itself ensures that all communication channels can maintain multiple redundant links at the same time, which can ensure that even in the worst case, even one or two The constellation control center suffered heavy damage and was completely offline, and the operation of the mother star barrier would not stop.

Ophelia stood quietly on a platform next to the control center, her eyes looked at the busy construction site in front of her, but the parallel processing threads in her mind were not only focused on the scenery in front of her.

Deep in the center of the deep blue well impact crater, the ancient source of surging energy is underground. A vertical shaft penetrates straight into the ground. After passing through layers of armor, rocks, soil and enchanted barriers, the end of the vertical shaft is a large experimental facility. .

This huge laboratory is surrounded by several spherical barriers. The thick soil and rocks keep it away from the intelligent creatures on the surface. In the laboratory, large facilities like obsidian obelisks are neatly arranged, surrounding the Looking at a circular platform in the center of the room, this scene is like some kind of weird sacrificial place, as if countless silent black stone priests are surrounding an invisible god on the platform-but this weird scene is like a cult scene. The facility is the crystallization of the most advanced technology in the world at present, and it is the "eye" for Loren mortals to spy on the truth of the demon tide.

The magic tide simulation device, the most daring creation of the Ophelia Matrix - more than 700 years ago, a weak magic tide "shocked" across the planet, like a ray of air on the edge of a storm swept across Gondor at that time Empire, but even if it is just a weak "air current", it has the power to destroy a season of civilization at that time. In the face of this crisis, the God of Holy Light detonated the Deep Blue Well, annihilating more than half of Gondor's population with its own humanity. At the cost of extinction, that "forward tremor" was blocked, and the boundless scorched earth centered on the Tarash Plain was left behind.

And in the depths of the scorched earth, a group of sensors that continued to operate after the big bang left a precious relic for this world—it recorded the "shadow" of the magic tide in the airflow.

The Nuoi people have the heritage left by the pioneers. They know how to build a unified field of mind, and they also know how to observe the magic tide to obtain the "calibration parameters" of the unified field, but they have never really "controlled" the sample of the magic tide. Therefore, they have no way of verifying whether the technology in their hands can really work; the Loren Alliance does not have such a pioneer group, nor does it have the technology to observe the magic tide, but the Alliance has this precious sample, so what about the combination of the two?

The Loren people can confirm whether the unified field of mind is useful in the laboratory before the arrival of the magic wave, and even carry out secondary calibration and correction of this system-this is something that even the "pioneers" of the Noi people things that could not be done.

A slight sound of mechanical friction came from the direction of the laboratory door, and the heavy isolation gate slowly slid open to both sides, and a slender blond figure walked into the laboratory—she had the same "Ophelia" on the surface. "The same look, down to every hair, every eyelash.

This is another body activated by the Ophelia matrix, and there are more than a dozen similar bodies. These "incarnations" are distributed throughout the underground fortresses and surface complexes, and at the same time they are processing the Ophelia matrix. There are a large number of tasks to be faced, although in terms of efficiency, these incarnations that require matrix operations are actually not much improved compared to the original Iron Man soldiers, but...

Ophelia has begun to like this feeling of "hands-on operation".

"The whole system is normal," Ophelia, who walked into the laboratory, looked up at the black obelisk facilities that were neatly arranged like a ceremony scene, and a string of parameters quickly flowed through her crystal-like eyeballs. The air opening next to it began to issue instructions to the system in the laboratory at the same time, "The filter wall is ready, the observation unit is in good condition, and the 136th simulation test is about to begin."

There was a low hum in the laboratory, and those silent black obelisks seemed to be suddenly awakened by some invisible force. The surging energy from the Deep Blue Well was injected into these specially made field effect generators, and They began to jump and resonate between them. The lights on the ceiling seemed to flicker a few times, but in fact the light emitted by those lights was always constant, but the strong energy concentration caused some abnormalities in the transmission of light—Ophelia’s Looking at the obelisks calmly, from the naked eye (although her eyes are not naked eyes), the experimenter couldn't see any changes in those black devices at all, and couldn't see what was generated between them, but She knew that the entire system had been activated and began to operate according to the preset program.

The waveform data recorded by the sensor that insisted on running until the last moment 700 years ago has been recompiled and injected into the system. The field effect array formed by the complex obelisks will use this data as a blueprint to transform the magic power of the Deep Blue Well When the energy reaches a certain intensity and the oscillation waveform is completely consistent, there will be the result she wants: to simulate the most primitive state of the universe with the wisdom of mortals. A cry.
