Chapter 1301 Awakened Sky Fortress
"Oh my god!"
The last words Kraken Ke Luolin left to her comrades-in-arms and the officer was such an exclamation. In the next second, her figure was engulfed and engulfed by the powerful torrent of energy, and quickly turned into one of them. Liu Guang flew into the distance, but Commander Haiyuan and Sentinel Vera couldn't even react, and it was too late to reach out to stop him.
Not far away, the water elemental lord who was floating in the sea water trying to heal his body just happened to see this scene. This huge elemental giant quickly rushed to the "downstream" of the blue vein. In the boundless sea, his speed was almost like a flash of lightning, but still couldn't match the speed of the dark blue torrent. The elemental lord only had time to move his arm, and the blue-purple figure representing Coroline in the torrent had completely disappeared from everyone's sight .
The scene fell silent, and the sudden change made the sea monsters and water elementals near the dark blue vein not know how to react for a while. In the end, Vera was the first to speak: "I think she has died inside."
"Not necessarily, she didn't seem to be melted after jumping in." Commander Haiyuan stroked his chin and analyzed, "Our life form is relatively inactive to the magical environment of this world, so maybe she will soak in it for a while." will hang up"
Vera shrugged: "Anyway, sooner or later, I will go to the outpost to adjust the shift of the next shift."
At this time, the elemental lord who was like a liquid giant also slowly swam over. The huge lord looked at the direction where Coroline fell just now with a dull expression, and after a long time, he murmured to himself: "She also I don’t want to jump in, I actually just want to ask for an explanation, if there is no explanation, there will be no explanation.”
"I don't think she jumped in on purpose." Vera said with a slightly embarrassed expression, and then suddenly noticed that the elemental lord seemed to have only one upper body floating in the sea, and was shocked, "Ah, where is your lower body? "
The water element lord was taken aback for a moment, and looked back at the place where he was floating before rushing out just now, only to see a vortex of pure water filled with a faint blue light slowly dissipating in the boundless sea, and a frustrated and regretful expression appeared on his face. On the hazy face: "ah, I forgot to bring it when I rushed out just now."
"Don't be too sad." Commander Haiyuan couldn't help but stepped forward and patted the arm of the water elemental lord, "I actually observed it just now, that half of your body will definitely not be able to keep it, and it will fall if you move it casually. We will investigate this matter later, but before that, we can help you heal your wounds first. If you trust the technology of our Kraken, there is an element reorganization matrix at the outpost. We are usually seriously injured by accident. But I don’t plan to die and go back to use it to heal my wounds, the native water element can also be used.”
Obviously a companion was involved in the dark blue vein just now, but the two sea monsters in front of him were extremely calm. This kind of reaction made the relatively young water element lord at the scene quite uncomfortable. Some records of the "Elemental War" back then, thinking of what those ancient elemental lords told me, I couldn't help but feel a little stupefied: This group of visitors from the starry sky called "Extractors" is indeed a terrifying species.
Then he raised his head involuntarily, and saw the shadow floating on the sea in the distance. It was the outpost built by the sea monsters. Normally, the nearby water elementals would try to go around that place as much as possible, but as an elemental Lord, he is not afraid of that thing, but he has some doubts: "Your technology can also be used on pure water elements like us? Will there be any sequelae?"
"Of course not," Commander Haiyuan immediately patted his chest proudly, "We are the same as you, we are all water elements, you are welcome, I will introduce our medical technology to you, Vera , you go to the communication station to report to the above, saying that Coroline was swept away by the dark blue vein, maybe she will die back at some point, and let the sisters who stayed behind in Antaveen go to the assembly point to collect it when they have time."
Vera waved her hand to show she knew,
With a flick of his tail, he swam towards the outpost, and the water element lord couldn't help sighing: "Oh, I've heard of it a long time ago, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I still have to say that your lifestyle is really different. .”
On the north side of the Dark Mountains, west of Cecil City, among the huge engineering facilities hidden by the undulating mountains and the surrounding jungle, Gao Wen, who came to inspect the situation in person, was standing on a high platform overlooking the entire assembly field. Rebecca was standing not far from him, concentrating on checking the parameters just submitted by the assistants.
On the vast assembly field under their feet, high-power magic spar lamps make everything brightly lit. A huge steel structure is lying quietly among countless supporting modules and construction frames. The main part of the steel structure is Part of it has almost been completed now, and its outline is roughly a slightly elongated hexagon. The energy arrays, power ridges, anti-gravity engine groups, and various weapons, control, living, and protective facilities that were originally like bones and internal organs have all been completed. It has been properly wrapped by layers of cabin shells, and now only its neat and orderly "deck building" can be seen from above, as well as large weapon bunkers distributed on every sharp corner.
Gawain turned his gaze to the distance, and saw bright flashes continuously coming from the edge of the magnificent "deck". There were construction workers and machines like ants busy in those areas: the magicians were welding the The last part of the edge of the sky fortress was covered with armor, and a solid alloy shell was installed for the last exposed biological nerve tube bundle. When their work was completed, this amazing "fortress" could be considered basically complete.
Yes, it is basically complete. Everything here is just the main structure of the air and sky fortress, which can only ensure that it has basic flight and combat capabilities, and many ancillary equipment, such as detection arrays, air data centers, alchemy synthesis factories and other facilities are still far away. According to Rebecca's original plan, it will take at least one or two years for these things to be installed in the corresponding cabins. However, the current situation does not allow Gao Wen to urge the fortress to complete a prototype as soon as possible.
Those things that can't be installed in a short time are really impossible, and they can be slowly assembled in the sky while performing tasks after the sky fortress is lifted into the sky.
Gao Wen's eyes moved slowly on the wide deck below, sighing in his heart the scale and momentum of this thing, but the majestic figure of the "Sentinel Spaceship" uncontrollably appeared in his mind. After the comparison, he still couldn't help sighing: the gap between the two is still a bit big
Rebecca noticed Gawain's sigh, but she didn't know what her ancestor was thinking, she just tilted her head curiously: "My lord ancestor, why are you sighing? Are you still not satisfied with the current progress?"
"No, I just thought of something else. The progress here has far exceeded my expectations," Gawain shook his head, without explaining anything to Rebecca in detail, then he glanced at the magic net terminal behind Rebecca, and asked casually , "How is the control center?"
"I just took the last round of wake-up test, and I'm already in good condition." Rebecca immediately showed a happy and proud expression on her face, her eyes lit up like a child showing off a perfect test paper, "You have to fight it Say hello?"
"Are you ready to say hello?" Gawain was a little surprised, and then looked up at the sky above the assembly field. The gray "rock dome" covered everything in his field of vision like a high sky, but he knew that now The huge sun should have almost reached the highest point in the sky, and it is almost noon at this moment, "Indeed, the time is almost up Rebecca, help me take over the screen of the control center, and I will say hello to it."
"Okay, my lord ancestor." Rebecca immediately nodded happily and said, then turned around and quickly operated a few times on the magic net terminal, and the holographic image floating above the terminal rapidly expanded and brightened, and soon It became a large projection with a diameter of almost two meters floating above the platform. The scene in the projection trembled twice, and then quickly became clear.
Gao Wen saw a brightly lit hall appearing in the projection. Busy technicians could be seen everywhere in the hall walking among the nerve nodes and recording parameters. In the center of the hall, a set of special It is a huge device, which consists of a large metal body with two small and three hemispherical shapes and a set of huge and complex bases. A large number of intricate structures, like pipes or cables, spread around the base and behind the main body. They submerge into the floor below and the roof above respectively, and there seems to be a glimmer of light flowing inside.
In the next second, the hemispherical casing on the upper half of the huge device slowly opened, and as the metal shield slowly lowered, the crystal containers inside appeared in Gao Wen's eyes, one large, two small, and three hemispherical crystal containers Both of them are filled with a translucent thin solution, among which a huge biological brain taller than a human is soaked in the large container in the center, and the two containers next to it are empty at the moment.
Around this wetware device, you can also see many immersion chambers that are on standby. Of course, those immersion chambers are also empty at this time.
Gao Wen looked at the various things presented in the holographic projection in front of him, and subconsciously glanced sideways at the silent fortress below the platform. The scene he saw was exactly the scene in the core control hall of the fortress. .
This fortress is alive. It has a living brain and a nervous system that spreads over hundreds of kilometers. Each of its engines and each of its turrets is wrapped with nerve endings. It can even feel flying. Breeze across the deck while in the air, feel the footsteps of the crew members as they walk across the deck, and the team that controls it can even lie in the immersion cabin while commanding the fort If the battle situation requires it, it is accurate through neural synchronization , quickly exchange views with the "host" of this fortress, and convey instructions.
Part of this technology comes from the legacy of the Death Society, part from the accumulation of the Eternal Sleepers for hundreds of years, and part from the "Seat of Dominion" of the Silver Elf.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Emperor," a neutral, synthesized voice came from the magic net terminal. At the same time, Gawain saw a wave floating around the synthetic brain soaked in the hemispherical container. Gurgling bubbles, "I'm glad this is the first time I've met you, it's a pleasure to have met you for the first time."
"Hello, Dawn of the World," Gawain said with a nod. He felt a little strange. He knew that these synthetic brains cultivated from the giant tree of Sorin or the biochemical factory had certain thinking ability and virtual personality. Component technicians were able to communicate with these brains, but for himself, this was the first time he was talking to a synthetic brain, and it felt weird, "How does it feel to wake up?"
"Very good," the synthetic brain in the holographic projection immediately replied, "I can already feel all my engines and deck buildings, as well as the temperature of each cabin and the operation of the bottom mechanical area. The connection is perfect and the biomass solution here is very comfortable."
The response of the synthetic brain was smooth and natural, which somewhat exceeded Gawain's expectations. Although it cannot be compared with the iron man mental technology of the Gondor Empire that was almost indistinguishable from human beings, the "synthetic brain" created by Bertera Obviously, it is already at the top level among the various "artificial mind" technologies of the Loren countries in this era.
Rebecca next to her had been staring curiously at the two empty containers on both sides of the wetware host in the holographic projection, and suddenly asked: "Where are your two sub-brains? I remember your two The sub-brain has been installed a long time ago"
As soon as she finished speaking, the voice of the synthetic brain came from the magic network terminal: "The left secondary brain is helping in the kitchen, and the right secondary brain is lifting weights in the gym. Sexual decline, we take turns on duty."
Gao Wen: "There's nothing wrong with it."
This is not the first time he has dealt with the "synthetic brain" created by Bertila. He has also learned from various channels about the synthetic brain system test run reports submitted by factories, laboratories, and data management departments. I am not unfamiliar with the special operation and maintenance methods of these "biological computers", so although I feel that this is a bit strange at the moment, I still accept it smoothly.
Overclocking depends on jelly beans and maintenance of the gym. This is the normal use process of the exotic biomass computer, and it has to be tasted.
He shook his head to get rid of the thoughts of complaining in his mind, and then looked up at the gray "rock" ceiling.
"Dawn of the World, your main body has been completed, although it is not yet time to officially fly, but do you want to bask in the sun?"
"Basking in the sun?" The synthetic brain said doubtful words in a tone with almost no emotional fluctuations, "Is it okay?"
"Of course," Gao Wen laughed, "this is a matter within the process."
"Understood, I want to bask in the sun," the synthetic brain replied immediately, "the mother tree engraved the joy of photosynthesis deep in the memory of every brain, she told us that basking in the sun will bring beneficial stimulation, I want to experience it The feeling of the sun shining on the deck."
"Why does Bertila engrave everything into your memory?" Gawain couldn't help trembling, and then turned to Rebecca, "Okay, turn off the projection, open the sky, and let the sun shine in here."
