Chapter 1384 Legacy

As Sir Scott's last words landed, the images stored in this space played to the end. In a silent moment, the hazy light and shadow floating in mid-air drifted away quietly like an avalanche of shattered snow. It made fine shimmering particles all over the sky and quickly disappeared into the air, and this seemed to trigger a chain reaction—at the moment when the light and shadow were scattered, a glow suddenly flowed across the ground of the entire platform, and the glow condensed into a bright light. The white lines quickly converged towards the central area, and the fog-like circle of light that had always enveloped the central area quickly dimmed and weakened in the next few seconds.

Diana looked blankly at the place where Sir Scott disappeared. The ancient mental core was running jerky, as if it was processing huge emotional information. Gawain even heard a burst of abnormal noise from the other party's body, which made him He couldn't help but asked a little worriedly: "Ms. Diana, are you okay?"

"...I'm fine," Diana blinked, waking up from her stupor, "you can continue with the mission."

Her voice was still distant, mechanically precise and calm—and even calmer than usual.

Gawain stared into Diana's eyes, nodded after a while, and turned his head to look at the central area of ​​the observatory. The white light covering the center had completely faded at this moment, revealing the things hidden in it before. Gawain stretched out his hand towards Pointing over there: "Let's go check those things. If you're right, it should be the 'relic' left to you by Sir Scott."

"It's for all of us." Diana said softly, and walked over there, while Gawain waved to the people following behind, and a group of people followed the white stream of light flowing on the ground to the viewing area. In the center of the star platform, I can also see the scene here——

There is only a circular platform about one meter in the center of the observatory. Its center is slightly sunken. The surface formed by some unknown material reflects the brilliant stars above. A palm-sized palm-shaped platform seems to be made of layers of light blue crystals. The stacked "crystal block" is placed in the center of the platform. This "crystal block" is surrounded by stars, and there are mysterious lights floating on the surface. Around the platform, there are six chairs symmetrically placed, four of which are On each of the chairs was a dark urn, and in the other two sat Maester Alphonse Hall and Sir Scott Planting.

In this different space, the remains of the two ancient scholars did not rot, but turned into complete mummies. They sat quietly in their last positions, their heads still kept raised, and their sunken eye sockets seemed to be separated from each other. After 700 years, he is still staring at the crack at the top of the space, watching the clear starry sky presented in the crack.

Diana came to the two ancient scholars, bowed her head in silence, and the other people around her subconsciously held their breath, expressing their respective respects in a brief silence, and then Amber noticed Sir Scott's death. Finally, he maintained a gesture—his withered and stiff fingers pointed directly under the seat, as if he was deliberately making people focus on his fingers. Amber looked in that direction,

Finally opened his eyes slightly: "Ah, there is something on the ground!"

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted, and people discovered that the ground near the six seats was densely engraved with words and symbols! Centered on the circular platform, they spread out in an unconventional way, covering almost one-third of the ground of the observatory, and due to the stable environment in the different space, these marks are still clearly visible until today—only all the previous ones People's attention was attracted by the round platform reflecting the starry sky, the "lattice" in the center of the round platform, and the remains of ancient scholars, so that no one noticed that the rough "textures" on the ground turned out to be words before Hu Po spoke!

"This is..." Philip's eyes widened in an instant, and what caught his eyes was a large number of plausible characters and another kind of writing that he didn't recognize at all. Recognized that part of those words is the common language of mankind during the Gondor Empire, and the other part is the alien signal received by both Sorin hub and Winter hub!

"This is the 'inheritance' left by Sir Scott," Gawain said in a deep voice, "It is the 'Alien Dictionary' that they translated in twenty years."

Philip opened his eyes wide and looked at the densely packed scratches on the ground, and said softly as if talking to himself: "Carved on the ground... should be carved on the ground... There is no more stable and long-lasting recording method than this, after all, spells will Disintegrate and fail over time, storage devices will become unusable due to civilization, only those carved on the ground can withstand the longest years of erosion..."

"Record all of this," Gao Wen ordered in a deep voice, "don't touch anything here until the recording is completed, so as to prevent this shelter space from collapsing and closing early."

The accompanying personnel immediately started to get busy, recording the symbols and words engraved on the ground with the equipment brought on this trip, and made several backups stored in the magic crystal on the spot. In addition to leaving the magic images, several people The mage-scholar even took out the enchanted parchment and quill that they carried with them, and began to use the field shorthand spell to transcribe all the characters on the ground into a thick scroll——these scholars can understand it without Gao Wen or Amber specially reminding them What is the meaning of these characters engraved on the ground? Faced with a knowledge heritage handed down to future generations from seven hundred years ago, they all regard it as the most precious treasure in history.

After the accompanying experts and scholars began to record these things, Diana, Gawain and others left the central area on their own initiative. They stepped on the ground that Sir Scott had measured with his feet for twenty years, slowly Walking to the edge of the entire observatory, Philip raised his head and looked out of the edge, watching the huge building fragments floating without gravity slowly rotating in his sight, and beyond the fragments, there was a vast, vast expanse of sight. The boundless illusory light that went up made him feel emotional: "Standing here for twenty years...is really unimaginable."

"Fortunately, there is still a starry sky above their heads." Gawain looked up at the huge rift directly above this different space, although he didn't know what was behind the rift, or how the two ancient Gondor magisters brought the space together. The starlight scene of the real world was "introduced" into this sanctuary, but he believed that this starry sky must have inspired Scott, Alphonse, and Bello seven hundred years ago, especially when they knew that the space between the stars After the existence of other civilizations that can think and communicate, the cold starlight will become the only comfort after the apocalypse—because they know that even though the world around them has fallen apart, there is still a world full of vitality light-years away .

"Speaking of which, you led a large army through the Viplandon area back then, and you didn't realize that there were still people in this observatory." Amber seemed to suddenly recall something, and looked up at Gao Wen. Are you in this shelter?"

"Even if they didn't hide in this shelter, it would be difficult for them to meet us," Gawain shook his head lightly, "Viplanton is not just an observatory, it is a large area, and there are many people in this area. Large-scale towns and many research facilities, observatories, museums, warehouses, research institutes... The Gondorians have been studying extraterrestrial objects here for many years, and the observatory is only one of the core facilities here. For refugees who are in poor condition or urgently need supplementary supplies, facilities like the Observatory are obviously not as attractive as the ruins of towns and imperial warehouses along the way."

"Something from outside the sky..." Amber muttered thoughtfully, then turned her head and glanced at the "crystal block" placed on the round platform in the center of the observatory, "If it's correct, that thing should be Scott The 'exotic object' mentioned by Sir Te, it can continuously release energy and maintain such a different space shelter for seven hundred years, it is an amazing thing, what do you think we should...how to deal with it?"

She was reminding Gawain and Diana next to him—Sir Scott left behind not only the "knowledge" engraved on the ground, but also a tangible "item" that was exuding The slightly blue crystal block is undoubtedly the key item that protected the observatory when the Deep Blue Well erupted, and it is also the reason why the observatory was not invaded by various dangerous things in the wasteland for the next seven hundred years. Its The value is self-evident, but how to deal with it is a problem that must be faced.

As Gao Wen's hard-core dogleg, Amber certainly hopes that this crystal block belongs to Cecil. After all, the entire Viplandon area is now under Cecil's control, and Philip's subordinates were the first to discover the observatory. Under the leadership of Cecil, adhering to the two principles of "everything in the wasteland is unowned" and "discover first, actual control", it seems that the relics found in this ancient facility should belong to the original discoverer .

But to be reasonable... this thing is not really ownerless.

Sir Scott has already said in the message that the inheritance here is left to Diana, which is more embarrassing-the heir is here now, and everyone has seen the video record just now, so you can't be shy Do you not recognize your face?

After much deliberation, this is a confused and troublesome account. After thinking about it for two minutes, Hu Po felt dizzy and dizzy. In the end, she could only sigh and mutter in a low voice, "Oh, it's still easy to dig the grave of a dead family..."

Gao Wen didn't hear Amber's muttering clearly, but he could guess what was going on in this guy's mind, and on his side, this confused account could even go one more way - the "meteorite" that fell in the Viplandon area "Rain" is essentially the debris of the space station that fell from Amon's impact on the sky three thousand years ago, and he, the "satellite spirit", is now considered the heir to the legacy of the voyager. Is it his? The Viplandon Meteorite had caused considerable economic losses in the Gondor Empire back then. Was it Amorn's responsibility or his, Gao Wen's? If Amorn is responsible, then Amorn is now a senior adviser to the empire, and his direct person in charge is Gawain, which is even more incomprehensible. After all, although the Gondor Empire is gone now, the descendants of the Gondor Empire There are still many people...

This is a meaningless account. Anyone who feels that he has too many brain cells can calculate it, but Gao Wen has always felt that his brain cells are too depleted, so from the beginning, he did not intend to be confused in this sum. Too much energy wasted on the account.

He owns a whole space station in the sky, and in the near future, he will start to repair and explore the station in the sky. In the long run, sea monsters, dragons, elves, humans, these races will all come into contact with the sky station. Unless Gawain intends to fundamentally overthrow his long-standing creed and code of conduct, he cannot avoid this kind of development—unless he makes up his mind to let the race of this planet continue to lie in the gravity circle, no one will touch it. The inheritance of the voyager in the sky, and then one day in the future, he will die slowly along with the races on the earth.

He needs to truly grasp the secrets of the sailors, and he cannot go back to the old path of the Reverse Tide Empire. He needs the wisdom of the world as his help, and develops through open, transparent, and rational research instead of "elite contact, deification and worship." "To achieve this goal, he needs (and must) let all mortals on this planet break free from the shackles of their hearts and step out of their cradles, because only in this way can he avoid the future of extinction.

Then, the legacy of the Voyager is destined not to be hidden—he had to hide things well when he was not strong enough before, because many things were not under his control, but now, he is strong enough, Ceci If the Er Empire has the ability to become the helm of this era, he will be able to think in the way of a "helmsman".

Therefore, the only thing he needs to ensure is to keep things under his own control—the research and exploration of the Sky Station must be open, but the authority of the Sky Station must always be in his own hands. It will definitely rise and finally step out of the cradle, but this process must not lose control. This is not only responsible for yourself, but also for those companions who follow you, trust you, and support your ideas.

As for the current "Crystal Block", Gao Wen also has the same attitude: It doesn't matter who the crystal block belongs to, but knowledge belongs to everyone. After all, everyone has to develop, and he needs everyone to develop. Here, just secure Cecil's research share.

He looked towards the center of the observatory, and the small cube emitting a faint blue light, which seemed to be stacked with layers of crystals, was particularly eye-catching in his field of vision. He closed his eyes slightly again, and the crystal cube was still floating in his field of vision. In the field of vision, and a line of notes appeared around it-damaged ion energy group, key components are missing/tampered, and recycling is not recommended.

It seems that because Cassandra and Azarena restarted part of the system on the Sky Station, Gawain's ability to control the space station has been further strengthened. He noticed it when he saw the crystal block just now. These additional "notes" appear.

Now he can even directly sense the "existence" of that crystal block, and vaguely perceive the "energy track" extending around it.

But that's all - he is not an expert in this field, and the authority of the navigator does not allow him to obtain the corresponding knowledge out of thin air. A hundred years and still can't figure it out.

But it doesn't matter, there are many smart people in this world, and these smart people can be his help.

"Ms. Diana, this crystal is a 'relic' left to you by Sir Scott." Gawain opened his eyes and looked at the ancient machine girl beside him. "Theoretically, it should belong to you—but for the sake of the whole world For the long-term development of the alliance, I hope we can share the mysteries that may be contained in this crystal block."

"I understand what you mean." Diana's expression didn't seem to change. "Before departure, Her Majesty Rosetta also discussed this issue with me, about how the 'inheritance' that may be found in the Viplandon Observatory should be distributed— —Specific items, we can negotiate slowly, only knowledge... knowledge should belong to everyone.”

She raised her head and looked at the central area of ​​the observatory, her voice became a little low.

"Personally, I don't really care much about that crystal. I just hope...that I can take away Sir Scott's remains. This is all I wish for."

"Of course." Gao Wen stood up straight, his expression became solemn, "it should be so."
