Chapter 1433 Star Sea Project

Post-war reconstruction and economic recovery plans are in full swing across the continent. Although winter is approaching and the temperature is dropping, all beings in the Loren continent seem to be ignited with a hot flame, from Cecil to the Elven King's Court, from Typhon to the dwarves On the west coast of the kingdom, all bards, newspapers, magazines, and magic web radios are constantly spreading the latest development plans, reconstruction plans, and economic incentive policies.

At the same time, the shocking battle between the Dawn of Earth and the Creeping Calamity has been repeatedly exaggerated and publicized. The amazing sky fortress of the Cecilians seems to be gradually becoming a symbol, and it will become a symbol in the coming cold days. The most reassuring sharp blade and strong shield on the continent of Loren—and all of these are just the "bright parts" that ordinary people in the alliance countries can touch.

There are many more secret projects and amazing plans being carried out in secret areas that are not accessible to the world.

In the "Contract Fort" on the border between Cecil and Typhon, the original "Gate" project has been transferred to the continuous observation stage. With the disintegration of the Sentinel cruiser, the researchers can no longer continue to carry out the observation mission of the kingdom of the gods on that spaceship, and the previous large-scale exploration operations have also shrunk back to the field of God of War. In the ever-disintegrating Kingdom of God, the experts of the Theocratic Council only kept one garrison stronghold, and a small research team was in charge of routine monitoring activities to record the gradual collapse of a Kingdom of God.

However, after the scale of the "Gate" project was greatly reduced, Contracting Fort did not become deserted. New research projects were launched here, and new technical experts and special equipment were sent to this large facility. Along with it, there was also a "Voyager Energy Crystal" brought out from the Viplandon Observatory by the explorers of Typhon and Cecil.

After the failed "Project Against the Tide" in Tarrond a million years ago, the mortals of this world will once again face the legacy of the sailors, and try to learn knowledge and understand the world from these ancient and advanced technological creations, But this time, the people of the world will try their best to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Reverse Tide Empire millions of years ago. They will choose to use a rational and dialectical attitude to contact the mysterious creations left by the sailors in this world, rather than respecting them as gods.

In the depths of the Contracting Fort, a specially protected laboratory has been prepared. Unlike the "Portal Hall" used to explore the Kingdom of God, this laboratory does not have so many mental protection runes and anti-God. Instead of a sexual barrier device, the structural strength of the laboratory itself has been especially strengthened, and a large number of anti-magic runes and precision sensing devices have been installed on the floor and walls near the central area. On the analysis platform in the center of the room, the bomb from The energy crystal of the Viplandon Observatory is quietly lying on a base made of fine gold and mithril alloy, and around it can be seen a flickering energy barrier and a solid crystal shield.

Kamel was floating in mid-air near this crystal, his eyes full of arcane brilliance were staring at the crystal in front of him, as an arcane creature, he could subtly feel the surging energy contained in this crystal—even though It has been consumed for an unknown number of years, but the magic power in this crystal is still so full,

Moreover, it is stabilized in a state of astonishing purity and energy levels by an extremely complex lattice structure, which is no less than a spectacle in Kamel's view.

Does it have some sort of slow recharging mechanism? Or is its "capacity" really so amazing that after consuming most of it, it will still give people a feeling of vastness and endlessness?

The sound of footsteps came from the side, and Kamel turned his head, seeing a tall, strong red-haired old man who had walked to him at some point, and was staring at the crystal on the platform with some ecstasy.

This old man is not a human being, but his real identity is actually a red dragon. As the "technical advisor" sent by Tarrond to assist mankind in studying the legacy of the Voyager, this Mr. Calador has already used his profound knowledge and self-cultivation. He has won the respect of Kamel, and his knowledge in the field of sailors is the help that the anthropologists here urgently need.

"...I never thought that one day I would come into contact with what they left behind in this form again," the red dragon Calador said, with emotion in his voice, "It seems that not long ago, this was a taboo Things……"

Kamel asked curiously: "They... do 'they' refer to the sailors? What you said about the last contact with them in this form refers to..."

"Yes, voyagers," Calador nodded lightly, "the last time I had contact with the relics of voyagers with alien races in the Loren continent was a million years ago...you have heard of this incident, they were It's named 'Backtide Empire'... Although when I first met them, they were just a curious and weak group."

Kamel's eyes doubled in an instant, and his tone was filled with surprise: "Are you a witness to the chaos of the reverse tide?! You experienced the ancient war when the 'reverse tide' was born?"

"I have lived a relatively long time. This is probably one of the few characteristics of my family. Although I can't compare with the three ancient dragon leaders, I have experienced some things," Calador said with a smile "However, these ancient experiences are nothing special to the giant dragon. The once Talrond society was solidified, and all positions are like parts on a machine. He is still just an ordinary employee of Mithril Treasure House, but in my opinion, today’s world is more interesting.”

Hearing the casual exclamation of the old red dragon beside him, Kamel was lost in thought, and raised his head after a while: "We will never repeat the mistakes of the Reverse Tide Empire."

"Talrond ordered me to come to Loren Continent to assist you precisely to ensure this," Calador said solemnly, looking at the former "disobedient", "In fact, until now, Tarron De still nervous about what you are doing - although we know the need to do so, it is the legacy of millions of years of mortal races contacting the Voyagers again, and this is just the beginning... Our giant The dragon will be extra cautious in this matter, I hope you can understand."

"Is it just the beginning..." Kamel said softly as if talking to himself. As one of the core technical officials of the empire, he knows many confidential matters that have not been made public, including of course that His Majesty Gawain Cecil is about to He launched the "Sky Restoration Plan", and thinking of the infinite knowledge and accompanying risks that may be revealed behind all of this, his tone became extremely solemn, and his face turned blue, "Please rest assured, I know the reason as well as you and prudence."

Calador nodded lightly, his eyes returned to the energy crystal, and he murmured to himself softly in thought: "Has the starry sky rushed towards you..."

...

"The starry sky is already coming."

In a research facility on the canopy of the giant tree of Sorin, Bertila's avatar looked up at a line of slogans that had just been hung on the opposite wall. Two magicians were busy standing on the ladder, fixing the signs with huge letters firmly. nailed to the wall, and in other parts of the room, you can see a larger number of technicians shuttling back and forth, busily arranging equipment, debugging equipment, and sorting out materials. The huge hall is full of human voices. Everywhere is a tense and busy scene.

This used to be a "monitoring facility" attached to Sorin's main hub, but now this listening center, which was only used to capture alien signals, is undergoing a large-scale renovation, updated monitoring equipment, better networking conditions, new The newly added Mastermind-assisted computing interface, as well as the new batch of experts and scholars who will be stationed here, when everything is in place, this place will become the highest command center of the "Star Sea Project".

The "star breakers" from all over the world will establish contact with this command center through magical communication and neural networks, share all information about alien signals, and jointly solve various problems that arise when communicating with alien civilizations. The top linguists, logicians and cryptographers will gather here to decipher all possible hidden meanings in every sentence sent by alien civilizations.

In order to support the operation of the "Star Sea Project Headquarters", the empire even allocated a recently established computing center in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain to the Sorin main hub. At this very moment, an engineering team is working The root layer of the Sorin giant tree is busy, and special high-speed neural nodes are set up to prepare for the special line connection of the computing center.

All of this is to deal with the coming era—the era of establishing communication with alien civilizations among the stars.

As the slogan on the wall said, the starry sky has come, whether the sentient beings on this planet are willing or not, the only thing people can do now is to prepare as much as possible.

A voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Bertila's meditation: "Ms. Bertila, the main magic power network has been reset, and you can now reconnect the base power ridge."

Bertila turned his head and saw a tall middle-aged researcher with messy gray hair and a slightly stout body standing behind him. I haven't had a good rest and taken care of myself for a long time, but my energy is very full, and there is even a hint of excitement.

Bertila nodded lightly, felt the building structure somewhere under her feet, and then stretched out her two fists to meet each other seriously——accompanied by her symbolic movement, there was a burst of noise from the entire hall underground. With a deep roar, it seemed that some kind of large-scale biological organization was bending and colliding deep in the thick floor and supporting structure. In the next second, the power ridges that were temporarily disconnected due to the upgrading of the facilities were reconnected. , with the switching of the energy supply, many devices in the hall began to start up, and the lighting lights also flickered a few times before turning from the backup energy state to the normal state.

"Thank you for your assistance." The middle-aged researcher nodded with a smile, and then he planned to turn around and continue to work, but before that, Beltira stopped him: "Bad, don't you really need to take a break?" ? Your current state is similar to those eternal sleepers who claim to sleep every three days..."

"Me? I'm in good shape - I still have the necessary sleep time," Bud Wendell looked down at himself, with a confident and fairy-like smile on his face, "Don't worry, I don't care what I say I used to be a druid, so I am sure about my health, if I feel really tired, I will go to rest."

"I used to be a druid..." Bertila glanced at this "former subordinate" expressionlessly—even though he is still his subordinate now, "You were not as reliable as you are now, especially as a druid. the ability."

"Well, it's all in the past." Bud Wendell immediately touched his chin in embarrassment. "The point is that now, we are doing something that is really worth paying for."

"Is it really worth the effort..." Bertila whispered thoughtfully, and she looked at the other side of the hall, which was made of white wooden structures and overlapping layers of leaves, which was as beautiful as a flower wall. The wall slowly opened in her line of sight, revealing the vast sky outside, and the night that was slowly spreading from the end of the sky, and a few stars had already appeared in the direction where the night was darkest, "Speaking of which, the linguist and Are the logicians still talking next door?"

"Yes, they have been discussing for a whole day, and it is estimated that it will continue in the evening," Bud shrugged, "Your Majesty requested that the text of the initial communication with the alien civilization be drawn up in the shortest possible time, and now the experts have discussed a lot. Applicable to self-introduction, expressing peaceful wishes, and establishing initial understanding, but on the most critical 'first sentence of greeting', everyone is arguing."

"The most important 'first greeting'?" Bertila thought for a while, then felt that his leaves were about to fall, and shook his head quickly, "It's really difficult to think about it. This kind of professional question is still Let the experts have a headache."

...

The main antenna array emits a soft and melodious low-pitched tremor in the standby state. Accompanied by the gentle sound of waves from afar and the gentle sea breeze blowing across the deck, Hathaway, the deep sea witch, feels that her mood is being relieved a little bit. On a platform next to the light speed communication array, the tail was curled up, and the upper body was lying on the tail, letting the warm and warm afternoon sun shine on the scales, and the body began to flatten little by little...

But the voice of the deep sea maid Rosalia suddenly came from the side, interrupting the process of the deep sea witch gradually transforming into an ooze monster because of being too comfortable: "Master Hathaway, the queen ordered me to confirm the situation of the FTL communication array .”

Hathaway suddenly woke up from the state of salted fish. She saw the queen's personal maid standing in front of her, and then looked up at the communication array not far away that was in standby mode, and tapped it lightly with the tip of her tail. Knocking on the deck: "I have repaired the burnt part of the main antenna and directly replaced the new element, which is now ready for use."

"Thank you for your hard work." Rosalia bowed slightly to the deep sea witch, "In this way, we only need to wait for our land allies to get ready."

"The allies on land..." Hathaway shook her head lightly, dispelling the last bit of fatigue, "Actually, I have to remind you of one thing—although the fault in the main antenna has been repaired, the cause of the fault is The source cannot be solved, and it will probably still be broken after the next use.”

"I've already talked to the Queen about this, and our allies on land know about the situation—at this stage, the first thing to do is to find a way to respond to the 'alien signal', and the complete repair of the communication array will be considered later. Rosalia nodded, "But having said that... have you confirmed the source of the fault? Do you have a complete fix now?"

"The core oscillating crystal cannot work at full efficiency, and the antenna array needs to use a lot of energy to maintain the superluminal excitation circuit, which eventually causes the energy accumulated in the excitation circuit to break through the protective layer," Hathaway sighed, "Unfortunately, at this stage There is no good solution... We can now easily manufacture all the components of the FTL communication array, but even brand new components can only exert less than half of the efficiency in this weird environment, and the antenna load Still can't come down."

"...Is that so?" Rosalia frowned and nodded slowly, "Although I don't understand, I will pass your words on to Her Majesty the Queen."
