Chapter 1229 Listening to Voices From Light Years Away

The quiet night sky enveloped the world like a giant curtain. Even though the brilliant man-made lights on the earth made the twinkling stars appear dimmer than before, those cold starlights themselves don't care about the lights on the earth—they will always As in the past tens of millions of years, quietly overlooking all living beings, watching one world after another in the vast and dark space where civilizations may thrive.

What is happening right now on those distant planets? I'm afraid the best playwrights can't draw it out even with all their imaginations.

However, some information faster than light can bring greetings from 6.12 light-years away, letting people who are looking up at the starry sky know that there is a vibrant world in the distance.

Tire raised his neck and watched the twinkling stars quietly. The dim silver light sprinkled on her beautiful and delicate scales, giving this sea monster a lot of elegance and tranquility out of thin air——Gao Wen was very impressed. It is rare to understand what this deep-sea creature, which sleeps most of the time, is thinking, especially at this moment.

"What are you thinking?" He couldn't help breaking the silence.

"What a beautiful starry sky... The scenery that used to be so strange now looks quite familiar," Till said softly, "We have been watching this starry sky for millions of years, you say, in these millions of years there are How many civilizations have perished while we watched?"

"...On the light-year scale, the demise of civilization is less than the twinkling of a star. I don't think it makes much sense to discuss this topic before we master the ability to travel in the star sea."

"That's true," Till smiled, "We should think about something more practical."

"Speaking of more practical things, I suddenly had another idea about the sender of the 'Green Star' just now." Thoughts were racing in Gao Wen's mind, and a new guess gradually took shape, "You said...would they Didn't really master the superluminal communication technology?"

"Oh?" Tire raised his eyebrows, with doubts in his tone, "Do you suspect that our communication technology experts have made a mistake in their judgment? They mistakenly identified ordinary signals as superluminal communication?"

"No, I trust your experts, I just suspect that the sender of 'Cangxing' is not as 'smart' as we imagined," Gawain shook his head, talking about his guess, "The reason why they sent such The crude and primitive signal format may not have any brilliant long-term plans at all, but because...they can only send those things."

Tyr frowned: "You mean..."

"I'm not sure what level FTL communication belongs to in the entire aerospace technology, but I guess this level must not be low-after all, even the giant dragons in Tarrond have never mastered this kind of thing.

The development of technology is often interlocking. Although there are some cases of advanced development in individual fields, in general, the technological heights of a civilization should be roughly balanced. The development of a technology often means the follow-up of a large number of related fields. It is normal for various technologies to be based on each other and complement each other," Gao Wen said unhurriedly, "So, if the sender of Cangxing has fully mastered the FTL communication technology, then they are probably not a stickler for the communication technology. The race on their own home planet may even have become...another 'starter'. "

"It makes sense..." Tyre nodded slowly, muttering thoughtfully.

"Apart from the 'greetings' from Cang Xing, have your antenna arrays captured other FTL communications in the starry sky?" Gawain asked seriously, "Even if it's just a short clutter ?”

"No," Tyr shook his head immediately, "After confirming that the signal sent by SK-32-A was FTL communication, Antaveen deliberately scanned the entire sky covered by the antenna system, but there was no Discovery of a second FTL communication..."

"So, the sender of the Cangxing is probably not a civilization that has fully mastered the superluminal communication technology-otherwise the starry sky near them cannot be so 'quiet', can you imagine? This is like a race that has mastered the fire-making technology. skills, and hundreds of years have passed, and the area where this race lives has not even emitted an extra wisp of green smoke..."

Tyr reacted instantly: "Unless the 'torch' is not theirs, they don't know how to light a second fire, nor do they know what this 'torch' can do other than signal!"

Gawain nodded, and said slowly in a low tone: "This is just a possibility."

"...Then who owns this torch?" Tyre asked subconsciously, "This... this is a 'torch' that can transmit signals at superluminal speed in space on a light-year scale..."

Gawain didn't answer for a while, just raised his head and looked up at the starry sky quietly, but in fact the truth was already coming out, and even Tyre himself thought about the most likely answer to this question - except for the sailor , who else could it be?

Gao Wen thought of the information he saw in the diary of the Sky Station, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: the legacy in the starry sky...it seems that there is more than one place.

At some point, Tire had already set her sights on Gao Wen. She stared quietly at the "hero of human pioneering" for a long time, and suddenly said without beginning or end: "It's really rare."

"Yes, if the situation is as we guessed, a civilization that has not yet broken out of the parent star has obtained a superluminal communication device, then this is indeed quite rare..."

"I'm not talking about that," Tyre shook his head, "I'm talking about you, it's rare."

"Me?" Gao Wen pointed to himself with a look of astonishment, "What's so rare about me?"

"I can rarely find someone who can talk about these topics among the land people. I don't mean to discriminate or ridicule, but the land people don't know much about the universe... and you are an exception. Not only can you keep up You even have a lot of your own thoughts on these topics, which is very rare, and you still maintain your strong curiosity and flexible mind in this area to this day... This is even rarer," Till said with a serious face, " I don’t know many people on land, but I have heard sisters describe many land monarchs or commanders. Many of them have outstanding vision and profound knowledge, but they are always entangled by things on the land, politics, The military, people's livelihood, threats and interests at the national level... are all things that give me a headache when I hear them.

"You also need to face these 'entanglements'. I can see it with my own eyes, but to my surprise, your attention to the starry sky and your desire to explore the unknown never fade away."

Gawain looked at Tyre, who was showing a serious expression at the moment, with some surprise. He didn't have many opportunities to listen to the other party talking so much on weekdays. This guy probably spent all his waking hours today on this conversation: " ...is this considered a compliment?"

"Quite a high compliment," Tyre nodded earnestly, "You are the first person to be praised so much by me."

"Then I am very honored, but I have a question," Govent said seriously, "Aren't you usually sleeping every day? Where do you have the time to think about so many complicated things?"

"Don't you know? The sea monster can think about problems when it is sleeping-our mental activities never stop. In other words, once we stop thinking, the sea monster will die," Till said while shaking He shook his tail, "After all, we are a relatively slow race, and if we don't make good use of our time, we will be useless..."

"You guys are also doing sober thinking activities while you're sleeping?!" Gawain widened his eyes in astonishment. This was something he had never heard of before, let alone thought of it. Tyr was no different from human beings on weekdays. The appearance gave him the illusion that the sea monster is a kind of intelligent race that is similar to human beings in essence, although it has the ability to transform. It was only now that he realized that there is a relationship between this group of elemental creatures and human beings. What a huge difference, "That means...you don't know how to dream?"

"Ordinary sea monsters as individuals really don't dream—of course, we can also force those overly immersed 'sleep thoughts' to be dreams of sea monsters, but this is a bit far-fetched," Tire said, wagging his tail. Jian Jian explained with a serious face, "There is only one siren who can really dream, and that is Eva..."

"Eva..." Gawain recalled the knowledge behind this name, and said thoughtfully, "I remember this is your 'race spirit'?"

"The spirit of the race? It's correct to understand that," Till laughed. "Eva is the collection of all sea monsters. You can think of her as the largest, invisible sea monster. The "elemental core" of the whole element. Some foreigners can't understand such an invisible existence, but for us sirens, Eva is a real individual, and she is the only siren who can "dream" .Among the Sirens, Eva's dreams are perceived by those with special gifts, these individuals usually include the most powerful Tidemasters and Sea Witches, and of course our Queen - the Queen can almost always see Eva's dreams, sometimes she will share with us the wonderful scenery she saw in her dreams..."

Gawain listened carefully to the incredible things Tire narrated, and he couldn't help muttering for a long time: "Your race is really incredible..."

...

The sound of the sea waves was like a gentle song, and it was introduced into the spacious and elegant bedroom along the surging water. Pethia woke up from a deep sleep, and opened her eyes in a ball of elements condensed by pure water.

Silver-white long hair fluttered in the ball of pure water, but it was quickly pulled back under the control of its owner. Petya swam out of the ball of pure water, and the clothes on her body changed into Wearing a light blue dress that was luxurious but did not affect her actions, she glanced in the direction of the door, and Rosalia, the maid of the deep sea, appeared in front of her almost at the same time riding a stream of water.

"Your Majesty," Rosalia swam two steps forward, "You woke up later than usual today."

"I saw Eva's dream again," Petiya said, "She seems to like dreaming a lot recently."

The maid Rosalia suddenly showed an expression of interest: "Eva's dream? What did you see?"

"The specific content is a bit vague. I just remember seeing an endless sea, an endless sea like my hometown. There is no land on the sea, and there are many lives multiplying in the ocean, including creatures like sea monsters. It also includes... races I don't know, and some giant structures that look like ancient ruins or monuments floating on the ocean..." Petiya rubbed his forehead, "That's all, it's all inexplicable scenes... It was just a dream after all."

"Perhaps Eva saw the scenery seen by compatriots far away in the dream? We are one in Eva's dream..." Rosalia showed a smile on her face, and said words of relief, "Anyway, what you're seeing doesn't seem like a bad sight."

"In the distance..." Petya said softly, and was reminded by this word, "Is there any progress on the super light array?"

"Still haven't received a signal from any immigration ship," Rosalia shook her head lightly, "In addition, the monitoring of SK-32-A is still in progress, and it has been three years since the last signal was received. It's been a few days, according to the rules we have mastered, the next time the super-light communication will appear will be in more than ten minutes."

"Well," Petya nodded and swam towards the direction of the corridor - this is the royal area of ​​Antavien, the entire area is located inside the deep water barrier, and the sea water from his hometown floods every corridor and every room , Of course, you can only rely on swimming when going out, which is a very convenient and comfortable environment for the Kraken, "What about scanning the surrounding sky?"

"Nothing was found," Rosalia said shaking her head, "only a few very weak low-frequency calls were received, which are conventional signals emitted by light waves or quasar pulses. They may have been floating in this space for tens of thousands or even For hundreds of thousands of years, in constant circles within the cages formed by star systems, the civilizations that launched them have been dead for years."

"...Even if they don't die, we have nothing to do," Perthia sighed. "We can only answer but not transmit. This is an unsolvable problem... Is there no resonant crystal yet?"

"Unfortunately, Master Hathaway said that she can't do anything - the resonant crystal is completely damaged, and this planet lacks the key materials needed to re-melt the crystal. Although the energy technology and rune knowledge shared by the Cecilians It is easy to use, but these two technologies are not helpful for repairing the FTL communication array. In addition, we have also tried several natural materials recently excavated from the deep sea, but none of them meet the requirements..."

"Well, this kind of thing can't be rushed," Petya nodded lightly, "let the witches of the deep sea do their best."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On the golden beach of Io Continent, in the stranded area of ​​the Antavien, a communication tower with a complex structure stands on the tail deck of this giant immigrant starship. The base at the bottom of the tower is wide open, exposing its The sophisticated components inside and the system lights that are flickering in the depths of some structures, the "deep sea witches" as technicians are busy inside and outside this high tower, checking the receiving module that has just been repaired for a long time, adjusting the unstable core system.

On the top of this high tower, several communication components that have resumed operation are floating under the lift of the invisible force field, slowly rotating around the tower body, and the streamlined alloy structure points high to the sky. The metal shell was reflected a golden red.

Petiya came to the deck and looked at the sea monsters who were busy around the tower, and the figures of the Naga who had just appeared in this area and were learning mechanical maintenance skills from the deep sea witches, and then her Her eyes fell on the high tower again, and a slight sigh came out of her mouth.
