Chapter 1422 Take a Long-Term Plan

On the upper deck of the Dawn of the World, in a viewing room with a view of the open sky, Gao Wen was sitting quietly in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows that occupied the entire curved wall. The dazzling skylight above the clouds was covered by the crystal windows. After filtering, it turned into bright but soft light that spilled into the room, illuminating the furnishings in the room and also illuminating a document placed on the small table next to it.

Gawain glanced at the document, and casually muttered to the air next to him: "To be honest, this is really not the best plan."

"But in the end it was passed," Amber's voice came from the air, and her petite figure jumped out of a shadow rift and landed lightly beside Gawain, "This shows that everyone knows that there is no better way at this stage ——As you said, we can’t fight another civil war at this time.”

Gao Wen didn't speak for a while, but silently reviewed the final results of the Tarash meeting in his mind, and at the same time calculated how long this meeting would allow the world to develop.

Returning the large tracts of land that had been purified in the edge of the wasteland to the hands of the "opening up the country" is to follow the legality of the law, and the other is to make up for the previous wars between Typhon, Gaoling, Ogulei and Sai. The huge cost of the war paid by the four countries of Syl - after the collapse of the Great Wall, the four countries surrounding the wasteland faced the most positive and heaviest pressure, and of course paid the greatest price, no one in this regard Can be questioned.

On the other hand, the Deep Blue Well and the core area of ​​the Tarash Plain were designated as a neutral zone. At the same time, the three empires established an international energy regulatory organization, invested in technology, and transported the magic energy output by the Deep Blue Well to the world. This was also the plan agreed upon by Gawain and Ophelia from the very beginning. After receiving the support of the other two empires, there was almost no voice of opposition in the alliance.

Finally, the "remaining" large areas in the wasteland of Gondor after distribution are directly designated as the common property of the world, led by the three empires, and all countries participate in cooperation for joint development and research. No country can The above-mentioned regions claim any sovereignty and set up a strict supervision and management system on the basis of the alliance framework-although in name all countries in the alliance can exercise supervision rights, in fact anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is what the three empires have the final say on .

As Gao Wen said, this is indeed not the best solution - but it is the most available solution at this stage.

"While the big country is full, at least a sip of soup must be left for the small country. Even if the distribution of this soup is in the hands of the big country, at least we can ensure the existence of this soup. This is to maintain the order of the alliance' Bottom line'," Gao Wen broke the silence softly, "the so-called joint development organization in which all countries participate is essentially a soup pot. We have given each country the opportunity to share some benefits, so as long as the three empires do not fight themselves, the Dragon Clan and Special member states like Kraken have no further 'thoughts' about the wasteland of Gondor, and the remaining countries will not be in chaos, at least temporarily."

"yes,

The premise is that the three empires did not fight themselves." Amber shrugged, "It is of course very good to maintain the current friendly situation with Typhon and Baiyin, but who can say for sure in the long run? Typhon is not a fuel-efficient lamp, elves... elves are even more nerve-wracking. Although they have always been a peaceful race nestled in the forest for thousands of years, according to my summary and deduction of the existing information, they may have some changes in the future.

"The fall of the Temple of the Stars caused great fluctuations in the elven society. This sluggish ancient empire seemed to be awakened by the sound of thunder. Now all the things that have been dormant in that forest for thousands of years are becoming active a little bit. The foundry is being refurbished, scholars are building new research facilities, dusty archives and ancient books and scrolls scattered in the empire are being unsealed, and this time, the Silver Queen even proposed transnational The concept of pioneering the organization, there are signs that this ancient race has woken up from the dream of peace, and they are interested in the outside world..."

"Sooner or later," Gao Wen was obviously not surprised by what Amber said, "The Temple of the Stars is like a lock to the elves, and it can even be regarded as a 'soul seal' in another sense. After this lock disappears, Sooner or later they will come out of the forest - pioneering is not just the prerogative of humans. But..."

He shook his head when he said this, and tapped the armrest of the seat with his fingers: "The homeland of Gondor is still very big, and this cake can be divided for a long time. At least within a few decades, this 'dining table' will be It is enough to feed every mouth in the alliance, and when the dining table gradually becomes saturated and the contradictions of various countries begin to become prominent, we must find a bigger dining table."

"A bigger dining table?" Amber frowned curiously, but Gao Wen didn't respond to her question, he just raised his head thoughtfully, looking at the clear and open blue sky outside the window.

"Have you encountered any 'mysterious situation' related to Ms. Ye's divine power recently?" Gao Wen suddenly looked away, and looked at Amber with some concern, "I haven't been in touch with 'Negative Tide' in this period of time. okay?"

"Don't worry, I really cherish my life. When I heard those technicians discussing the word 'reverse tide', I immediately ran far away." Both the shadow dust and the shadow imprint are also very quiet, I feel that Ms. Ye's power should have calmed down temporarily..."

Gao Wen frowned lightly: "...still don't understand the nature and function of that shadow mark?"

"I've been researching for a long time, but I haven't made any progress," Amber muttered helplessly. She waved her hand in the air, and the phantom-like gray-white imprint appeared in her palm, slowly floating in the air like a weightless cloud. , "Although it is certain that this thing was left by Ms. Ye, no matter how I sense it, its 'source of power' does not point anywhere, even if it is placed in the Shadow Realm, it does not change at all. It seems that I want to rely on It's impossible for this thing to find Ms. Ye's divine kingdom..."

As she spoke, she grabbed both ends of the imprint and pulled it hard, then swung it back and forth like a rope: "But then again, it's really great to use this thing as a slingshot. , the elasticity and toughness are just right, and no matter how you use it, it will not break. I have never seen a slingshot rubber band that works better than this in my life..."

"...Ms. Ye's ray of divinity can do this in your hands, right?" Gawain immediately glared at the skinny half-elf, "Shadow dust makes you throw it out to blind people's eyes when you fight. The shadow marks let you hit the glass like a slingshot, what are you going to do when you steal Lady Ye's scepter later? Hit people with a sap or open a wine bottle?"

Amber immediately opened her mouth without blushing, "It depends on the specific shape of the Shadow Scepter, maybe it can only be used as a crowbar..."

"It's a shame that you swore that you were the God of the Night." Gao Wen waved his hand, but just as he was about to say something more, he heard the door of the observation room being pushed open suddenly, and followed the sound to look back. , and saw Tyre poking his head in.

"Gao Wen, you are indeed here!" Seeing that there were only Gawain and Amber in the room, Tilton suddenly laughed, followed closely by the long tail and stomped into the room without forgetting Close the door with the tip of the tail, "I've been looking for you for a long time."

"...you twisted those six clones into tails again?" Gao Wen wanted to ask the other party's reason for coming, but suddenly noticed the long tail behind her and said casually, "I thought you were planning to Carry those six clones for a long time."

"Hey, after the meeting is over, why should I take them with me? I'm exhausted from controlling seven bodies and walking upright all day long." Till immediately wagged the tip of his tail, "It's more comfortable to walk in this form. At least the center of gravity is stable..."

"...Anyway, I don't quite understand your siren's way of thinking," Gao Wen coughed dryly, and then asked the other party why he came, "You've been looking for me for a long time? What's the matter?"

"Oh, let me tell you, I have reported the results of the Tarash meeting to the queen, and now Antavien is making preparations, and a transport ship will arrive on the mainland of Loren in a while, and take the All the rune stones we have salvaged so far are brought here—by the way, we will bring a ship of 'cargo' back," Till said casually, "In addition, the queen also said that she will specially arrange for some sisters who are good at butterfly swimming in the web lane to sneak into the dark blue web lane , to find the whereabouts of other rune stones and place signal repeaters.

"Theoretically, once the signal repeaters recognize the rune stone, they will try to build a more stable and controllable sending and receiving link. Although I don't know if this method will work, it won't hurt to try more."

Gawain nodded slightly while listening to Tyre's words, and Amber next to him asked after thinking for a while: "Speaking of pulling a ship of 'goods' back... have you really decided like this? One of the main armies of the war, even if you are not a country on the continent of Loren, you are still entitled to a share of the joint development, but in the end you wanted a small half of Ni Tide's corpse..."

"For us, this is much more useful than the 'resources' on land," Till laughed, and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth calmly, "There is everything we need in the deep sea, far more than land The things that can be given to us are much more abundant, but in comparison, the corpse of a god is much rarer..."

Gawain noticed the sparkling mark on the corner of Miss Kraken's mouth very keenly, and his expression became extremely weird: "Seriously, you can really put that thing in your mouth?"

"It's going down, it's going down," Till immediately nodded, and while nodding, he slapped the floor with the tip of his tail quickly, "Don't you really think that the appearance of that thing is okay? I just took a look, and the meat quality... sizzling..."

Gao Wen & Amber: "..."

"Hey, I tell you that you don't understand either," Tire knew from Gawain's and Amber's faces that there was a serious species gap, and as a sea monster, she was used to this kind of conflict with land races. So I waved my hand nonchalantly, "You don't know how many strange things there are in the deep sea. The ones like the reverse tide are at most like big meatballs in the restaurant of Antavien... Ah, I I won’t describe it anymore, I feel like you two are about to spit it out. But then again, we didn’t pull that thing back just to try something new, it’s mainly for research..."

The Kraken's technology allows them to extract extremely pure and powerful energy from the corpses of gods. This kind of energy is not yet mastered by land races, but it can be used to power their huge starship. This is what Gao Wen said I know, and he also knows that the Krakens have made great progress in the restoration of starships in the past two years—as they gradually become aware of the "magic power" of this world, the Krakens have finally found a way to fight against the "law deviation". The way, they have successfully restarted many units of Antaveen. Although it is still far away from the starship's full activation, this race that has been in trouble for hundreds of thousands of years on the "primordial planet"... now finally has a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking curiously: "Speaking of which, how is the progress of your spaceship repair project?"

"I heard that the progress is quite fast. Now we have been able to make Antavien's core fusion tower run stably for a period of time, and the energy output efficiency has reached more than 50%," Till said in a good mood. Question, many things are much more convenient. But I don’t know the specifics, after all, I’m not a deep-water technician or a deep-sea witch... Oh, right, there’s one more thing!”

As if thinking of something suddenly, Tire raised her voice so suddenly that both Gawain and Amber were startled, and then she raised the tip of her tail and said with a serious face: "I heard...they succeeded in making FTL communication possible. The array booted up, albeit only briefly."

"The faster-than-light communication array?" Gawain was taken aback, and subconsciously exchanged a glance with Amber next to him. After two seconds of blank thinking, he suddenly realized the meaning behind it.

One thing flashed through his mind like lightning - the communication between the stars!

"Antaveen has the ability to communicate faster than the speed of light?" He asked subconsciously, but then said, "Ah, yes, of course you have this ability, after all, it is a giant ship for deep space immigration , Communication on an astronomical scale must break through this problem... Your superluminal communication array has been activated for a while, does it mean that at least a short period of time, that thing can be used?!"

"Ah...of course it can be used." Probably startled by Gawain's suddenly serious expression, Tire's tail straightened for a moment, and then he nodded quickly, "But it's very unstable——we I originally planned to use it to search for the other three sister ships that lost contact, but I didn't expect that the main antenna would go down just after completing a round of scanning... Now the big witch Hathaway is trying to find a fault inside..."

Amber looked at Gawain and then at Tyre, and after a lot of thinking in her head, she finally caught up with the current topic, and said to Gawain hesitantly: "Then what... I don't know much about the 'superluminal communication array' Interesting, but I probably guessed what you guys were talking about. Are you planning to… respond to the 'signal' we received with the help of Antaveen's communication device? I mean, take advantage of that communication When the device works..."

Gao Wen frowned, as if he was thinking intensely, but in the end he shook his head: "...Don't be so reckless, it's not wise to hastily respond to an alien civilization that is very likely to be more advanced than us. This matter needs to be discussed slowly, not to mention that Antaveen's superluminal communication array may not be able to complete this task, it sounds like its condition is really bad-and the Kraken may not be willing..."
