Chapter 1128 Mathematics

Beltera's words caused Gawain and Belsetia to fall into thinking at the same time, it was like a flash of light, which suddenly led Gawain to notice some details that he hadn't noticed before——

If those cultists in the depths of the wasteland are no longer "human beings", and they no longer pay attention to the "great plan" carried out by compatriots outside the wasteland, and no longer pay attention to the outside world, then why should they cooperate? "outside church" actions? And since they have been cooperating with the actions of the external church for seven hundred years, it means...

"They've been providing us with data, and even helping us infiltrate Sentinel Tower, acting like loyal colleagues for centuries, making us ignore lurking anomalies and never consider Do such a group of 'siblings' with physical and mental mutations still have values ​​similar to ours?" Bertila's voice sounded from the side, "until the body of the false god lost control, everything was wiped out, the church outside the wall collapsed, and I finally If I have the opportunity to stand here, calm down and think about something without being disturbed, I will have the opportunity to see the problems here..."

"They are not helping you, they are only helping themselves," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "The only reason they have cooperated with you for so many years is that this 'cooperation' is beneficial to them, or that you have something worth using Place... recall carefully, what in your series of plans may be used by those cultists deep in the wasteland, this may help us figure out their purpose."

"There are too many, biochemical engineering, environmental modification, divine factor, divine evil... We have too many plans, each of which may be useful to them," Bertila said in thought, "The wasteland There are completely different environments inside and outside, which means that many experiments can only be carried out on one side, and every research conducted by us and them is an extremely valuable source of information for the other party..."

"Then let's assume that all of this is their purpose," Belsetia broke the silence, "Ms. Bertira, the plans you mentioned just now should all be actually operated by you 'outside believers'. The data is shared with the 'Inner Cultists' inside the barrier, right? What all these projects have in common is that they are all related to the survival and transformation of living organisms in the environment..."

"What did you think of?" Gao Wen immediately looked at the Silver Queen, his expression became serious.

"Let's put technology aside for the time being—if you regard those cultists living inside the magnificent wall as a group of 'new species', what do you think this new species wants most now?"

"New species? What do you want most?" Gao Wen frowned subconsciously. Belsetia's words gave him some new thoughts. " and other inertial thinking, when the question returned to the simplest premise, he suddenly thought of something, "Wait,

You're saying that what they want is actually a living environment..."

"The living environment, the simple but dangerous answer," Belsetia nodded slowly, "The wasteland of Gondor is a survivable land for them, but this habitat may not be so comfortable to live in right now. ——The central area of ​​the wasteland is the ruins of the Deep Blue Well controlled by the Iron Man Corps, and the peripheral area is the warning zone under the monitoring of the Sentinel Tower. They can only carry out limited activities in some areas between the two, so...they Probably not happy with the situation.”

Gawain's eyes became deep and serious. At this moment, he thought about a lot of things, while Bertila, who was not far from him, silently turned his head and glanced at the magic net terminal. The mutant treant projected above the terminal The image was slowly rotating in mid-air, those distorted limbs and plausible human faces contained inhuman minds deep inside, after staring for a long time, the former dark female headmaster sighed softly, as if talking to herself Quote: "We've strayed too far..."

Gawain was awakened from his contemplation by this sentence, but just as he raised his head to say something, he saw Bertila suddenly appearing as if she was listening attentively. Two seconds later, she stopped listening, but her tone became very strange. Seriously: "The monitoring team just sent an emergency contact. They captured some... very special information. We'd better go to the monitoring center to see for ourselves."

"Monitoring team?" Gao Wen quickly realized that what the other party was referring to was the long-term monitoring project that captured "mysterious signals" at the major magic network hubs, and his expression immediately changed—according to Bertila's personality, if it were not the case It's really a bit special, she won't be so urgent, "Okay, let's go now."

Belsetia next to her was taken aback by the sudden change in the situation, she cast a curious look at Gao Wen: "What are you talking about?"

"Remember what we talked about in the square just now?" Gawain glanced at the Silver Queen, "That antenna device—just right, now I can directly take you to see what this 'monitoring' project is doing. what."

While talking, there was a "click" sound of the wooden structure moving and deforming in the living room, which was "grown" by the giant Sorin tree, and the wall at the other end of the living room was slowly opened, revealing the pipe-like structure inside. The structure and a transportation device with seats that are stopping in the pipeline, Bertila said as he walked there: "We can go to the monitoring center through the vascular channel, which is a little faster than the outside channel."

Gawain led Belsetia towards the transportation pipeline while looking up at Bertira in surprise: "You still built a pipeline transportation system within yourself?"

"It was General Margarita's suggestion to me. The giant tree of Sorin is huge, and there are many facilities in it arranged in a complex three-dimensional arrangement. Conventional elevators or external corridors cannot meet the commuting pressure of all facilities, so Margarita The general advised me to design a 'chute' that would allow for the quick transfer of people and supplies between facilities - her inspiration seems to have come from farm barns in the South, where farmers would use similar chutes to place The dried grains are sent directly to the warehouse..."

Gao Wen listened in a daze. He was surprised that so many creative things were happening in fields he didn't know about. He was surprised and relieved by this. He thought about the application of such things in other factories. The foreground, and compared it with similar things on the earth, and then saw Beltira stop at the entrance of the pipeline, as if he had no intention of going in.

He was a little surprised: "Aren't you going with us?"

"I will recreate an 'incarnation' waiting for you at the exit," Bertila said, and at the same time, the flower vines behind him like a cloak swayed gently to show his existence, "Look, the avatars of me The ability to move is actually limited, and there is no way to take a 'vehicle'—these vines do not allow the avatar to quickly transfer over long distances."

So Belterra is wired?

Gao Wen couldn't help making some weird comments, and then asked unbearably curiously: "I'm suddenly a little curious, what would happen if these vines were really cut off suddenly while you were maintaining this avatar?" Sample?"

"There will be a lifelike Bertila doll, made of wood," Bertila said expressionlessly. "She is essentially just a medium for communicating with people. After the nerve cord is severed, there will only be an empty shell left."

"...That's reasonable." Gao Wen's mouth twitched, that's all he could say.

Bertila looked at Gawain very seriously: "Are you interested in this kind of doll? If you want, I can cut one out for you - unlike other wooden products, she is easy to maintain, you just need to Soak her in the frost grass potion for two hours, take it out and dry it, and it can be preserved for at least half a century."

"No, thank you." Realizing that the topic might take an unexpected direction, Gawain quickly waved his hands, pulled Bersetia into the transport device in the pipeline, Bersetia didn't say anything, just kept Standing on the spot with a numb look, then the protective shell of the pipeline was smoothly closed, and the soft lights were lit up in the cockpit at the same time.

Belsetia watched all this calmly throughout the whole process. As the Silver Queen, she has seen many things in her long life. In most cases, she can maintain this indifferent and calm posture, although the "Wanderer" Both her personal character in private and Bertila's current appearance exceeded her expectations, but these things are not bad things.

It's just that after the traffic cockpit in the pipeline started to slide, she still couldn't help asking: "Is it really okay to take me directly to the 'monitoring center'? It sounds like you just achieved something huge—this kind of Doesn't it involve confidentiality?"

"It does have a certain level of secrecy, but as I said on the square before, the project itself is open source to neighboring countries, and to the Silver Empire... will be open source," Gao Wen explained, "the fact We have even sent a technical team to actively contact the Holy Dragon Principality and the Typhon Empire in order to establish a larger-scale, data-communicating monitoring network..."

The Silver Queen couldn't help but widen her eyes in astonishment. She had indeed heard Gao Wen say that this "monitoring" project was open to neighboring countries, but she didn't expect it to be open to such an extent. The technical exchange between the Cecil Empire and the Silver Empire is a joint action at the technical level that has never appeared in the mortal kingdoms before, which made her unable to help asking: "Why do we have to do this to this extent?" ?What the hell are you monitoring, so that you need to...across an entire continent to do it?"

Gawain looked into Belsetia's eyes. Under the light that flashed quickly, the Silver Queen's eyes were full of curiosity.

"We are tracking a signal, the source is unknown, the meaning is unknown, and the analyzed content is also vague, but it can be confirmed that it is a man-made signal, and I think it...may bring us something that can subvert everyone's three views. "Gao Wen said slowly, "We have been tracking it for more than two years, and recently more and more data have made experts realize one thing: only the information collected from the magic web hub in Cecil Efficiency, it is impossible to complete the tracking and locking of this signal."

Belsetia's eyes widened, but before she wanted to say something, a slight shaking came suddenly, followed by the sound of the pipe casing opening.

As Bertila said - this pipeline transportation system is indeed very convenient.

In the brightly lit monitoring center, the fluctuations of the mysterious signal are still echoing in the equipment, the paper tapes and cardboards used to record the signal waveform and images have been piled up on the recording table, and the printer is continuously outputting more continuous paper to record the Every subtle change in the signal, and in the holographic projection located in the center of the room, a large-scale geometric pattern and dot matrix are still expanding in scale.

Bard's eyes were fixed on the picture, and he was awakened from his contemplation until a voice suddenly came from beside his ears: "Your Majesty is here!" "Ms. Bertila is here too!" "It's the Queen... the Silver Queen... ..."

Bud quickly raised his head, and saw three figures coming from the exit of the commuter pipeline, but before someone saluted, Gawain, the leader, waved his hand to stop them.

"Go back to work," Gao Wen's voice sounded in the room, "Just come over and the person in charge of the monitoring channel—who caught this signal?"

Bud immediately got up and left his post to come to Gawain. After saluting, Gawain looked at the familiar man in surprise: "Is that you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Bud said with his head bowed, "I'm in charge of the monitoring team."

"Very good, well done," Gawain smiled, nodded, and then his eyes fell on the holographic projection in the center of the room, "What's the situation now?"

"The transmission of the signal is still going on, and the stability is far better than before. So far, there have been no interruptions or unresolvable clutter," Bard said immediately, "According to the decoding method created by Ms. Bertila, we have successfully output these graphics. ——The graphics are clear and regular, which shows that the decoding idea is correct, but in terms of content..."

Gawain stared at the content presented in the projection, his eyes had a seriousness that no one else had seen before.

He saw the basic geometric shapes neatly arranged in the first row, including very regular squares, triangles, circles and polygons.

He saw smooth curves beginning to appear in subsequent patterns, lines that spiraled open, closed intersecting geometries.

A dot matrix grouped according to the increasing law, a coordinate system with a horizontal axis and a vertical axis, with undulating dots distributed on it.

The discussions among the people in the room were very low. The most obvious sounds came from the magical machines running everywhere. The equipment that output the printing paper made a rattling sound. The printing paper stored in the paper bin was exhausted. The staff hurried forward and replaced with new printing paper.

"Your Majesty, look at these contents..." Bud whispered aside, "These things seem to be..."

"It's mathematics." Gao Wen finally exhaled softly, and his heartbeat gradually calmed down in a deep breath.

Bud was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "...You really think so."

Gawain stared at the holographic projection in the center of the room. At this moment, the continuous output of geometric figures, dot matrix, and curves seemed to have finally come to an end, and something emerged from above, but it was no longer well-known to everyone at the scene. The "mathematics" content.

It was a bunch of oddly shaped, symbol-like things.
