Chapter 1178 Bold Project

The latest website: After many days of heat, a timely rain covered the vast land from the Rock Fortress to the Dark Mountains. This large-scale rain lasted for a whole day and night. Accompanied by the rain, is The heat has subsided in most areas, and the air of autumn is becoming more and more real.

The window facing the garden was open, and a cool wind was blowing from the window, mixed with a fresh earthy smell, and the bright sunshine finally cleared through the window, casting a dazzling spot of light on the window sill. Standing in front of the wide window, Gawain glanced across the luxuriant grassland below. He saw a long Tyre lazily nestling in a small flower bed surrounded by bushes. Basking in the sun on a thin blanket, the tip of the tail protruded all the way out of the bushes, stirring slowly in a puddle beside the garden path.

She'd probably lie there until the sun went down—and then hunched back inside to lie still.

"Sometimes I really envy that saltwater fish." Gao Wen couldn't help showing a strange smile on his face, "How can she have so much free time to do nothing every day?"

Standing behind Gao Wen's side, Amber poked her head and glanced towards the garden, curled her lips: "It's not bad to be idle, what's great is that she didn't delay the work of the ship's technical consultant by being so paralyzed every day——Beigang A message was sent over there today, saying that the stabilizing wings designed by Tyr are working very well on the new frigate, but I observe every day that this guy is just sleeping in various places..."

Gao Wen shrugged helplessly, and said casually: "Continue to talk about the situation of the investigation from the north... Where did you just say?"

Amber nodded: "Several of our elite operators have successfully infiltrated the Violet Coastal City of Prandell, the city mentioned by Duchess Victoria - the initial information collected confirmed the clues mentioned by Victoria, there are still people in the area I remember the group of Loren apprentices who landed in Prandell more than ten years ago, and some people clearly remember the situation when the apprentices left.

"Our operators also found the 'road' where the apprentices gathered to go to the city of a thousand towers - just like Victoria described, there is actually no road there, there are only boundless thick fog and fog in the fog. The shadowy dense forest. An operator who is good at field operations ventured into the forest and found that all navigation devices and pathfinding spells were immediately ineffective after entering the fog. There seemed to be a strange magic field at work there. , in order to prevent accidents, the operator can only withdraw from the forest.

"In addition, we have also successfully established friendship with some violet mages who are active in coastal cities. Although the 'hermit country' is generally closed, the residents living in the fringe areas are still very interested in the new gadgets from Loren Yes, through business contacts and knowledge sharing, some mages are willing to tell us some local customs and legends... But basically these 'marginal mages' have a marginal status in the entire Violet society,

So the information they can provide us is still very limited... Let's put it this way, our intelligence work over there has made a little progress, but we probably don't expect any breakthroughs in the short term. "

Speaking of this, Amber paused for a moment, and then continued: "There is also news from Tarrond - the support team sent by the Alliance has successfully settled down and started the rescue work. It seems that they have given them extra...motivation by carrying out missions on the ground, and the progress of almost all projects has exceeded expectations. The naval force led by Byron will return within one or two days, and the first phase of the support team will stay in the local area to continue Carry out a one-year construction assistance mission.

"In terms of intelligence, we have confirmed that the post-disaster situation in Tarrond is basically the same as that brought by Ambassador Melita, and the situation of the Agondor interim government is better than we thought. The order in Errond will be restored soon, at least there will be no large-scale loss of control or secondary turmoil—the dragon is more tenacious than we imagined, this should be considered good news for the Loren kingdoms..."

Amber reported the latest situation she knew in an orderly manner. Gao Wen listened carefully, and occasionally asked some questions, and he would always get a proper reply. This made him couldn't help but sigh at the end: "You have really grown up these years. Quite a few..."

Amber immediately crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows: "So the wages have been raised?"

Gao Wen glanced at her and didn't speak. The two of them just stared at her until a few seconds later, they laughed at the same time. There was a joke in the laughter that had been played for several years. There will be that tacit understanding.

"To be honest, it's not easy for you to raise your salary at this level-and do you really care about whether to raise your salary?"

"I care, otherwise?" Amber curled her lips, and said with a look of reason, "I'm just counting on the little income from the government affairs department. After all, the law stipulates that the official staff of the government affairs system are not allowed to engage in side jobs. I've almost lost my skills in the past two years. Two days ago, I planned to open a lock to recall my childhood, but I didn't open it the first two times..."

Gao Wen didn't care about Amber's random nonsense in the second half of the sentence, he just showed a little surprised look: "...I didn't expect you to be able to abide by these rules so strictly, I thought that with your personality, you would at least try to find some loopholes in these regulations come out……"

Amber was still giggling and indifferent, but when she heard Gao Wen's words, she suddenly stopped smiling and her expression became serious. She glanced at Gao Wen, and then slowly said: "These legal provisions are ours. Everyone digs it out bit by bit, and it took many years to finally be able to execute it smoothly-I used to be a petty thief, but if I still want to exploit this kind of loophole today, too many people's hard work will be wasted. In vain."

Gao Wen didn't expect that his casual sentence would make Amber suddenly serious. He couldn't help asking, "Why are you so serious all of a sudden? This doesn't seem to be your character..."

"Bucky Bobby was arrested yesterday, and I gave the order myself." Amber shook her head, her eyelids drooping slightly, preventing Gawain from seeing her real expression at the moment. "Do you still have an impression? He is from the Military Intelligence Bureau One of the earliest operators, an old man I brought over from Kant, who was in the same class as Anton... He is a guy with a lot of bad ideas, but I didn't expect that his bad ideas would one day hit the collective discipline The anti-anti-teco found evidence of his seven major economic violations...

"Anton found me early in the morning the day before yesterday. What can I do? I can only arrest the old subordinates who are no longer loyal, just like the guy who broke the rules in the dark alley... He doesn't want to be loyal, I have to be loyal to him.

"After this, I will also take responsibility according to the rules. After investigating the matter of Bucktooth Poppy, Anton and I will prepare a report..."

The corridor by the window became quiet, and it took a while for Gao Wen to sigh softly: "When we are all in trouble, it is no problem for most of us to overcome difficulties together, but when the days are better, those who have gone through hardships together If you have a partner, you may not be consistent... Some people will want to make up for what they have paid, some people will want to be superior to others, and some people will stop in a comfortable environment and become what they once devoted themselves to. The kind of people that get rid of... that's why a mechanism for continuous self-renewal and self-correction is so important."

"The Anti-Rebellion Special Section arrests people every week. I just didn't expect that one day the guy I personally brought out would be one of the people on the list, alas..." Amber said, shaking her head suddenly, "Forget it, don't say it That's it, and it's a good thing—if even the veterans of the Military Intelligence Bureau can be found out and dealt with, it means that at least the "correction" mechanism you created at this stage has not gone wrong, just like you said— —The list of the Anti-Rebellion Special Branch is not terrible, but the list of the Anti-Rebellion Special Branch is empty."

Gao Wen nodded, he wanted to say something else, but a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the corridor, attracting his and Amber's attention.

He raised his head to follow the prestige, and saw Hetty, who was wearing a red-bottomed gold-trimmed dress, walking quickly from there. After noticing the hurried footsteps and serious expression on the great-granddaughter's face, He realized that the other party might bring some terrible news, so he took two steps forward without waiting for the other party to approach: "What happened?"

"A first-level communication from the Typhon Empire—a message directly from the Obsidian Palace," Hetty stood still in front of Gawain, panted and said quickly, "They made a breakthrough when they were studying the fragments of the God of War. progress, and now hope to engage in a high-profile academic collaboration with us on a bold... project.”

"The academic cooperation proposed by Typhon's side? And it's related to the fragments of the God of War?" Gao Wen was a little surprised, because this was the first time that Typhon's side proposed such a cooperation project through official channels after the last "war". It came much earlier than he expected—this can only show that the scholars of Typhon have really come up with some kind of achievement that even the emperor Rosetta Augustus could not sit still, "This should be regarded as the divine right The affairs of the council...what the hell is going on with those Typhons?"

Hetty didn't seem to have recovered from the news she had just learned, she took a deep breath, and finally managed to calm down her tone: "In short...they seem to have found a way to open the gate of the Kingdom of God ——Open a door leading to the Kingdom of the God of War, and let mortals go in and find out."

Gao Wen: "...?"

There was an instant silence in the corridor, even Gawain couldn't react at the moment, he stared at Hetty for a few seconds before he finally got his train of thought in his head, and a few syllables popped out from his throat at the same time: " What is it?"

In the next second, he quickly coughed twice, trying to regain the dignity of his ancestors: "What did you say? Open a door to the Kingdom of God?! Are those Typhon people serious?"

"The contact directly from Obsidian Palace, if that Rosetta Augustus is not serious about this matter, then I am afraid that few people in this world are serious." Hetty sighed, obviously I fully understand Gao Wen's stunned reaction at the moment, after all, not long ago her reaction was similar to that of her ancestors, "They sent a simple technical document and an 'enlightenment report' about this project, which mentioned their research on the God of War Fragment The research process and the basic idea of ​​​​opening the door-and of course why they intend to do it. I have read the documents, and from the perspective of a former technical person... I don't think there is a problem.

"To put it simply, they discovered the characteristics of 'one body with two sides' between the gods and the kingdom of God, and found the path of 'resonance' between the gods and the kingdom of God. They confirmed that the kingdom of God will not disappear immediately after the fall of the gods, but It will last for a long time to dissipate. They have found a way to materialize this 'path' and temporarily stabilize it, and have already carried out a considerable degree of feasibility verification.

"The document does not clearly describe how Typhon scholars found this 'solution', but reading between the lines, I feel that Rosetta Augustus may be behind this incident."

"Rosetta Augustus himself..." Gawain repeated the name Hetty mentioned softly, and he had already vaguely guessed something—the Augustus family, a respectable family that has lived for the past two hundred years. They have been entangled with the "God's Eye" from ancient times for a long time. At the huge price paid by generations, they successfully stole the available knowledge from the "God", and achieved a feat unique in the history of mortals. This knowledge...is a wealth that even Cecil's advanced technology cannot duplicate.

Cecil's research on the gods started very early, and he inherited part of the legacy of the ancient Gondor rebels. Of course, his advantages in this field are obvious, but Typhon controls the knowledge directly from the gods, which means that in some In certain fields, the Typhons also have their advances—the fragments of the God of War are not exclusively owned by either Cecil or Typhon. Divide up the possession, and the two countries immediately launched research on these fragments, but it is obvious that Typhon's achievements have gone one step further.

But now it seems that Aldernan did not monopolize these achievements—they implemented the resolution in the 112 meeting, and implemented the agreement reached by the leaders of various countries at the inaugural meeting of the theocracy council: the results of the analysis of the gods should be made by all mortals. Before that, specific technical projects should be jointly undertaken by countries with corresponding research capabilities in the council. The "invitation" Typhon sent to Cecil now is to implement this content.

"The Typhonians were the first to abide by the rules," Gawain said with a slight sigh as thoughts flashed through his mind, "That's very good—then we should respond positively. But before rashly agreeing, we still have to Let's see what the Typhon people have come up with... Hetty, send the documents from Aldernan to my study first, and I'll go there right away, and I'll notify Kamel and Veronica by the way Just a word, I should need their 'professional opinion' soon."

Hetty lowered her head: "Yes, ancestor."

Hetty turned around and left quickly, while Amber stood up next to Gawain: "Those Typhon people really made something that can scare people without making a sound... Opening a door to the Kingdom of God ? We dare not even think about this..."

"Actually..." Gawain glanced at Amber and said awkwardly, "I've thought about this, but I just don't have a clue technically..."

Amber was stunned, and it took a long time before she uttered: "...What kind of thinking is this, are you and that Rosetta Augustus relatives?!"

"...It's not impossible if you insist on saying that." Gao Wen rubbed the tip of his nose and sorted out the contents of his memory, "Seven hundred years ago my wife was a distant cousin of Roland Augustus... "
