Chapter 1386 Foundation Laying

Aldernan, in a magic laboratory on the upper floor of the Obsidian Palace, Rosetta Augustus was deeply attracted by the mysterious and beautiful azure crystal in front of her, after staring at it for a few seconds , he took a breath, and broke the silence with a low voice: "It is really a treasure as beautiful as a work of art... So, this is what the Gondorians called the 'exotic object'?"

"Strictly speaking, it is one of the extraterrestrial objects," Diana said with a calm expression, "The Viplandon Meteorite Rain was very large, and according to historical records, at least double-digit fragments fell in the Viplandun area at that time. At that time, the Gondor Empire’s control over remote areas was not as strong as in the subsequent Spark Era, so many fragments were lost after falling and flowed into the people, and were secretly preserved by some hidden schools and wizard groups. Afterwards, Gondor officials intervened. A series of research facilities centered at Viplandon Observatory were established before the fall was lost further, containing all the remaining fragments - the one you see here is nothing more than the official containment of Gondor's 'extraterrestrial object' one."

"Is it one of the extraterrestrial objects... Cecil sent news that these extraterrestrial objects are all related to the Voyager civilization. That ancient civilization left a large number of 'space facilities' above our planet. The so-called extraterrestrial objects The objects are the fragments that fall off from these facilities," Rosetta said thoughtfully, with a gleam of knowledge in his eyes. Over the past few years, he found that his curiosity seems to have returned to his youth, which is unbelievable. New things and new domains are appearing at an unprecedented speed, and even give people a feeling of being overwhelmed, and the source of these things seems to be more or less related to the new empire in the northwest. There are so many secrets hidden in the top of your head..."

"His Majesty Gawain Cecil has a very close relationship with the legacy of the voyager. Judging from historical records and current information, he had already established a mysterious connection with those ancient devices in space seven hundred years ago. , and has drawn some kind of...'wisdom' from the legacy of the voyager," Diana said quietly, "and I think that the connection between him and that ancient civilization may be more profound than all the current information reveals .”

"This is for sure. If we can find out the details of Gawain Cecil just by collecting information, then he will not be the strongest and most respectable opponent and friend in the history of the Typhon Empire," Rosetta Augustus laughed suddenly, shook her head and said, "There must be a lot of secrets between him and the legacy of the Voyager, and those parts that he doesn't want to disclose to the public must not be found out through any intelligence means. It's—but it's not important, the important thing is the present."

His eyes fell on the crystal block that was as beautiful as a work of art on the table, and his voice was low.

"He has so graciously let you take this object - and while in theory the crystal is indeed a personal 'relic' left to you by Sir Scott, we all know he has a hundred suitable The reason can be ignored, but he still let you take it away, which can only show two things: first, compared with the legacy of the voyager he has mastered, the value of this crystal is insignificant, far less than a favor Second, compared with what he really pursued, the meaning of possessing such an item is insignificant..."

Rosetta Augustus held out her hand,

Picking up the shimmering crystal block, feeling the slight heat from it, the ruler of Typhon had a thoughtful expression.

"Joint research, knowledge sharing, and serving technology to the world is a great slogan, and it's not just a slogan—to this day, there are still many mediocre people who put forward the 'mortals' proposed by Gawain Cecil at the 112 meeting that day. The community of shared destiny' is regarded as a grandiose concept of attracting forces, just like the golden mountain that the legendary trickster conjured up in front of the foolish king Kronosolo, but look at the vast front in today's wasteland, no matter how stupid It's time for people to realize that the 'Alliance' is by no means an illusory golden mountain..."

Diana looked into Rosetta's eyes: "About starting the joint research project, your opinion is..."

"Of course I agree, and I agree very much." Rosetta seemed to have planned it for a long time, and said immediately after hearing the words, "it just so happens that the 'gate' project on the side of Contracting Fort has entered the later stage, and there is no need for such a large-scale maintenance team. We can negotiate with the Cecilians and start the joint research on the 'exotic objects' directly in the Contracting Fort, which will also save the cost of personnel transfer and repeated construction. And we have to do more than that."

He put the crystal block back on the table, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said with deep eyes: "From now on, gather the best theorists and mages of the empire, especially those in the fields of energy, machinery, and astrology, to set up a The dedicated team for research and analysis of the Voyager's legacy is directly funded by the royal family, and after Master Windsor Mapel completed the work on the 'Gate' project, she personally served as the leader of this new team."

"Is this team working with the Cecilians to jointly study the 'Crystal Block'?" Diana subconsciously glanced at the crystals on the table, but keenly felt that Rosetta's intentions were more than that.

"It's to study something bigger," Rosetta Augustus laughed, "Gaowen Cecil let you take this crystal so generously, which shows that he prepared for this world. The 'Great Gift' is far more than just this crystal. I think this world will soon usher in some kind of big change no less than the 'Magic Revolution'. Perhaps...he is ready to set his sights on the starry sky , so we have to prepare one step faster."

...

The capital of the Cecil Empire, in the confidential meeting room deep underground of the Magic Technology Research Institute, bright magic spar lamps illuminated the huge room, and Gawain, Hetty, Amber and others were sitting on the huge huge Around the round table, there were clear holographic projections floating on many seats beside them. People such as Kamel who were unable to attend the meeting in person were appearing in this special room through remote connections at this moment.

And in the center of the huge round table, there is a large-scale magic net terminal. The image above the terminal is showing a large number of neat and dense characters at the moment, which was recorded from the shelter of the Vipland Observatory. material.

The sound of pushing the door and footsteps came from the direction of the entrance. Gawain looked in the direction of the sound and saw Veronica walking into the room holding a platinum scepter. The "Saint Princess" glanced around the round table The silhouette and the holographic projection, with a slightly apologetic expression on his face: "Sorry, I'm late——I was dealing with the affairs of the Church of the Holy Light just now."

"It's only a few minutes late, it doesn't matter." Gawain nodded, motioning for the other party to sit down. "The Patriarch Wright personally conquered the wasteland. Most of the church's work is in charge of the bishops and you. It's normal to be busy recently."

Veronica nodded lightly. The faint radiance around her made everyone at the meeting feel relaxed and slightly excited. At the same time, she also looked up at the holograms floating in the center of the conference table. Projection, after scanning the ancient Gondor script and alien script, she looked at Gao Wen: "I have heard about the general situation from Miss Amber, and it is said that you have found important research materials at the Viplandon Observatory. and ancient relics, but I don't know the details yet."

"I'm about to talk about this aspect," Gao Wen coughed twice, looked up and looked around the entire venue, the people who can sit here are the most core and most reliable group of people in the empire (he privately called this group of people "inner circle") Member"), so he didn't show much politeness or hesitation at the moment, and directly told the whole story of himself and Amber at the Vipranton Observatory, "We found information about these 'alien signals' at the Vipranton Observatory, and left The person who downloaded these materials was the Director of the Observatory seven hundred years ago, Sir Scott Planting..."

For the next half an hour, there was only Gao Wen's detailed voice in the conference room. He explained his experience in as concise a language as possible, and brought all the details, while the participants listened attentively the whole time. The precious information left in the Viplandon Observatory and the admirable perseverance of Sir Scott, the University of Alphonse and others are enough to touch everyone, even the most heartless amber and those who think out of their way Rebecca (remotely participating in the meeting) also put on a serious expression at this moment.

Then Gao Wen's narration finally came to an end, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and then slowly stood up: "Before entering the formal discussion, I hope that all of us can pay attention to those who are sticking to the Viplanden Observatory. Pay tribute to several scholars who have left a legacy for this world that will forge the future, and their merits and honors should be recognized and deserved to live on."

As Gao Wen's voice fell, every figure around the round table stood up, and they bowed their heads silently, paying respect to the great people who had passed away.

After a brief greeting, the figures around the round table sat down again, and Gawain's eyes first fell on Veronica. He looked at the former member of the royal family of Gondor (although she is now using a streamer) Body with Morn blood): "We don't know much about the Viplandon Observatory. Do you know anything about the research conducted by Sir Scott?"

"The study of astrology and space falling objects in the Viplandon area is not in the same system as the Rebellion Project - we didn't know the connection between 'stars' and 'divine disaster' at that time," Veronica said softly He said, "So I don't know much about these things that happened in the Vipranton Observatory, but I did hear that the Vipranten Observatory reported that it detected an unknown signal from outside the earth. In theory, such a discovery should attract the attention of the academic community, and the call from the starry sky... Even in the Gondor era, this is an event that can cause huge turmoil in the academic community."

Hearing this, Gao Wen frowned slightly: "You used 'theoretically'... So, this incident actually didn't cause much repercussions back then?"

"Do you remember the details mentioned in Sir Scott's message?" Veronica lowered her eyelids slightly, "The imperial capital's investment in the astronomy field has been tightened, a large number of talents have been transferred to other fields, and the staff at the Viplandon Observatory is nervous... ..."

"I do remember," Gawain nodded, and thinking of the rebellious plan at the end of the Gondor Empire and the "Little Devil Tide" that broke out shortly thereafter, some guesses gradually emerged in his mind, "At that time, it should have been the Gondor Empire. At the end of the period, the reason for investment tightening and talent transfer should be..."

"The Rebellion Project is at a critical stage, and the Abomination Project has made significant progress," Veronica nodded slowly, affirming Gao Wen's guess, "Frankly speaking, it is not a wise move to reduce investment in the field of astronomy , I am also a researcher, I am very clear about the significance of setting our sights on the starry sky, but we still made this decision back then, because compared to the starry sky research that has not seen results for the time being, we must first consider how to deal with the disasters and demon tides. survive, but..."

Speaking of this, Veronica sighed softly, she shook her head, and her tone was a bit self-deprecating: "It's just that our efforts have not allowed most people to survive. We are fighting against God. The idea of ​​disaster has no clue, and the cognition of the evil tide is ridiculously wrong. Neither the evil plan nor the rebellious plan failed to save the empire. In contrast, Sir Scott and the others achieved the final victory in the wasteland results."

"You can't say that," Gao Wen shook his head, "No one has the ability to predict the future. In my opinion, the greatest significance of the old rebellious plan is not the actual results achieved, but the fact that you raised the flag itself, and In the long run, the remnants of Project Disobedience did loosen the bond between mortals and gods... though not in the way you originally expected."

"The problem now is that the information left by Sir Scott..." Hetty's voice came from Gawain's left, "this basic 'dictionary' will help us understand the information sent from the distant stars. News, Master Kamel and I both think that we should immediately start the research and study of these texts, and decipher the information received in the past two years, and at the same time start to attack the information sending and receiving technology to prepare for interstellar communication , but on the other hand, our battles in the wasteland are becoming more and more intense. At this time, launching a joint "Crystal Block Research" with the Typhon Empire is destined to occupy a lot of resources and manpower. Will the 'interstellar communication' project with an unknown period..."

She spread her hands and shook her head helplessly: "After all, we can only receive these signals now. Even if we complete all the deciphering, there is no way to talk about establishing communication with alien civilizations. Who has the corresponding sending technology?" I don’t know how long it will take to study it—not to mention the risks that need to be dealt with carefully.”

Although Gao Wen was really concerned about the call from the other side of the stars, he also had to admit that Hetty's consideration was very reasonable. Establishing communication with alien civilizations is not a simple matter of "meeting and shouting". Considering the huge technical support, social preparation and unpredictable risks, even if the risks are not considered, one of the most embarrassing problems lies in front of the league first:

How is this signal sent out? If the signal cannot be sent out, how can we talk about establishing interstellar communication?

Today's Loren tribes don't have the ability to communicate between stars... Back then, Tarrond had already tapped the technology tree in this regard, but Tarrond's technology is over, and the Siren's spaceship also has antennas for interstellar communications , but God knows when that thing will be fixed...

"Let's do the most basic work first," Gawain nodded, "first translate the ancient Gondor language in the materials into modern human lingua franca and elven lingua franca (two official languages ​​of the alliance), and then compile a set of usable Based on this, we will first translate all the signals we have received so far—although they are likely to still be the basic alphabet, it may contain some useful information..."

(Pushing books and pushing books, the really troublesome new book "After Awakening", sci-fi classification, popular steam and restraint elements, the author's last book is "Ran Ke Qi Yuan", the quality of writing is guaranteed, although this book is now Still very young, but quite worth the wait.)
