Chapter 1429

Perhaps it was because the impact on the three perspectives brought about by the sudden exchange with an alien civilization was too great, or perhaps it was the old way of thinking and knowledge that restricted Rosetta and Belsetia. They never seemed to think too much. The possibilities mentioned in the article—however, this does not mean that they do not have this knowledge. When the fog temporarily blocked in front of them was cleared up, they quickly realized the suspiciousness behind the incident .

It's true that they don't really understand super-light-speed communication, high-precision deep space exploration, space navigation and other technologies that are too beyond cognition, but if it's just a conceptual level, it's not unimaginable, or even unimaginable. I can also find a way to keep up with the topics discussed by Gao Wen, Enya, and Mirmina, and think within the scope of my own understanding-the specific technology may be difficult to understand, but the "reason" behind the technology is simple And interoperable.

The development of technology must have its own laws. A normal and healthy civilization must have its own complete technological path to follow. Behind a specific technological product, there must be a complete set of pre-theories and derivative products—if a group understands the How to smelt metal, then they must know what a furnace is (or something with a similar function), and if they don't know, it can only show that their smelting technology "has a problem".

There are various indications that the sending civilization is very suspicious in this respect—of course, it can only be called "suspicious" at this stage.

"These can only be our guesses," Gao Wen slowly added after seeing the several figures around the round table lost in thought, "After all, we don't know what kind of civilization is on the other side, nor do we know the superhuman civilization they use. We can only speculate about 'them' based on what the speed of light communication equipment is based on, but maybe the truth is just because their communication equipment is out of order, or they are busy with other things... Facing the astronomical scale Fog, we can't say anything."

"But at least one thing is certain, we must respond to this signal," Rosetta twirled the ruby ​​ring on his finger, which is his habitual action when thinking, "They already know our existence, and now it seems They don't seem to have the means of transportation that can reach our planet in an instant, so we need to strive for a little... initiative, even if this initiative is a bluff."

"This matter requires the assistance of the Kraken," Belsetia looked at Gawain. "Currently they are the only ones who have that kind of... FTL communication equipment. Are they willing to help?"

"Don't worry about this matter. I have already discussed with the Siren ambassador when I learned about their repair progress. They expressed their willingness to lend the communication array," Gao Wen nodded, "But...the status of the communication equipment is not good. Well, it can only be used for a short time now, it may be okay if it is simply responding to signals, but basically it cannot undertake long-term communication tasks, if we really want to establish communication with 'them', I am afraid that we have to completely repair that thing."

"Complete repair..." Rosetta frowned, "I'm afraid the whole continent will be powerless about this matter, the Dragon Clan... well,

I am afraid that the Dragon Clan will not be able to help. It is said that the technology used by the Krakens is very special. "

Gao Wen's tone was solemn: "The thorough repair work requires a long-term plan. Let's start with what can be done. The most urgent task now is to get the various 'Star Breaker' groups to cooperate and collect all the information we have about the alien signal. Summarized in one place, we need an efficient, barrier-free, special department directly responsible to the high-level alliance to deal with the "alien civilization", draw up the message text of "first contact" as soon as possible, and complete the coding as soon as possible. Do it in a few days, and the sooner the better.

"In addition, I will contact Siren to prepare their superluminal communication array, and at the same time, prepare listening stations in various places to receive feedback signals from 'them' at any time..."

"In addition," Rosetta tapped the table lightly, "not only should we consider responding to the signal, but also after responding to the signal—although we are not sure whether our response is really meaningful, our army and the government are Some preparations should be made. In the worst possibility, something may come to our world directly through this "call from the star space", or maybe, as you said, a fleet will come to us planet, and even if none of this happens, avoid the confusion and panic that would result from a leak."

"In addition, our scholars need to be prepared, scholars in various fields," Belsetia said immediately, "linguists, astrologers, magicians, professionals in the fields of logic and negotiation... who Not knowing exactly what 'they' want to talk to us about, and even if they're not really hostile, communicating itself is a huge challenge."

Enya watched all this quietly from the side. The former "Peak of God" seemed to be thinking. She watched the leaders of the three most powerful empires in the world deal with it almost as if they were facing an enemy. She is having a "conversation" without feeling that the preparations they are making at this moment are an expression of being overly nervous, because she knows very well that what is about to happen deserves this level of caution.

This is a situation that even the gods have never faced before—the starry sky has already rushed towards us before mortals have stepped into the starry sky.

"At the same time, there is a theocratic council that needs to act," Enya finally said during the discussion between the three empire leaders, "Don't ignore the impact this incident has on the gods."

Enya's words made everyone on the scene tense up instantly.

Gawain looked into the lady's eyes: "You mean, communication with this alien signal may cause the gods to 'lose control'?"

"It should not be out of control. According to my experience, the 'final disobedience' must strictly follow the two principles of 'irrefutable transgressive behavior' and 'direct contact with external systems by mortal individuals', or in other words , as long as it can be justified in the belief system and can make the gods "fool yourself", it will not trigger the final disobedience-under this premise, there is no essential difference between talking to alien civilizations and looking up at the sky. It can be regarded as indirect contact that can be denied..."

Enya explained to Gao Wen and others the knowledge that was once the highest secret of the gods, and neither Belsetia nor Rosetta listened very carefully at this moment.

At the same time, she continued: "But even if it doesn't trigger eventual disobedience, it will be the closest we've come to the border yet—information from outside the closed system, unsolicited gazes from outside, beyond all The 'heterogeneous contact' of the ideological cognitive system is a challenge for every god who is still in the god position... and we all know that the state of some gods in this season's civilization is actually not so good..."

Inexplicably, Gao Wen suddenly thought of the scene he had seen over the domain of the Three Gods of Abundance when he was on the Sentinel's cruiser looking around the Kingdom of God.

Indeed, the state of some gods is really not good, maybe they will really go crazy just because humans and aliens are connected to each other...

"As you respond to that signal and establish a real 'communication' with it, some gods are very likely to change," Enya said slowly, passing on his own experience, "The Theocratic Council should closely monitor all sects in the world Keep abreast of the signs of pollution, falsehood, and delusion among believers everywhere. There may be abnormal "oracles", priests who suddenly change their temperament, and "saints" who claim to be "enlightened" , these are all signals that a certain god is about to lose control.

"In this regard, I suggest that if such a situation occurs, the communication with alien civilizations should be immediately reduced, the participants of the project should be spiritually purified to a level above, and the specific personnel of the specific church that produced the vision should be isolated and monitored , and comforted by deep-sea runes, in fact, if conditions permit... I even suggest that all personnel involved in the 'interstellar communication', and even the entire research facility, be placed in an isolated environment with an anti-divine barrier, because this Some people are very likely to become "abnormal individuals" in the trend of thought that lure the gods into madness, and the "anti-divine barrier" you are using now has been tested in practice, and it has been proven that it can temporarily cut off the connection between gods and mortals..."

"Ah, I can prove this, that thing is really useful," Mirmina interjected next to her, "I can even hang the barrier to chat with mortals without worrying about pollution."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly emphasized to Gao Wen: "I have filed a record."

"Use an anti-theistic barrier to temporarily keep the project participants out of the sight of the gods, so as to reduce pollution..." Gao Wen nodded thoughtfully, and then couldn't help but glance at Enya, "These All very valuable suggestions, I didn't expect you to know this level of technology used by the Theocratic Council."

"You invited me to be a senior advisor to the Theocratic Council, I don't want to be a mascot to dawdle," Enya smiled softly and quietly, "As the only one who has experienced the ultimate disobedience, and after going through it twice Individuals who have survived successfully, I think they still have some spiritual experience, and these experiences can just come in handy now."

"Of course, I hope we don't need these experiences..." Amoen muttered, "Well, it seems that all aspects have been discussed now, is there anything missing?"

Gawain looked around at every figure around the round table, and after a while he nodded lightly: "It seems that you can't think of anything to add for the time being - then let's stop here today, we will start to implement the plan, if there is anything The situation, the first time to contact through this 'encrypted space', that's it."

Rosetta nodded slightly, and the ruler of Typhon, who always had a serious expression, stood up: "I hope we made a correct choice today."

His figure then gradually dissipated into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the Silver Queen Belsetia also stood up, and she smiled at Gao Wen: "Our world has been really not very stable these years."

Figures stood up from the round table one by one and gradually disappeared. In the end, Gao Wen was the only one left in the vast sea of ​​white flowers. A breeze blew not far away, and the flowers and grass blades made rustling sounds as they rubbed against each other. The breath entered Gawain's perception as if it appeared out of thin air. He looked back and saw Bertila standing quietly behind him.

"I remember not long ago, you only had to consider the war of one kingdom," Bertila sighed softly, "At that time, the biggest crisis in the world seemed to be just a group of monsters sealed in the high wall and the death of all things. There are so many dark believers... But suddenly, the problem you have to face is so big that it even exceeds the world's understanding of the world."

Gao Wen shook his head: "The demon tide and the gods... Actually, the problem we are facing has not changed from the beginning to the end, it's just that with the broadening of our vision, we finally see the whole of this giant beast clearly. "

"So sometimes I can't help but think of a sentence - ignorance is a gift bestowed on all beings. If ignorance, all beings don't need to know what a terrifying appearance this giant beast has, but only need to take a strand of it Breathing is the biggest challenge in the world. You don’t need to think about the gods who are out of control, you don’t need to think about the magic tide that will come at any time, and you don’t need to think about how many unknown and inexplicable challenges there are in the starry sky above your head. You only need to prepare a shield and a With a long sword, people can sleep peacefully."

"But this world will not stop because of people's ignorance... Well, the gods may really do, but it is a pity that the sentient beings have to face far more than the gods," Gawain sighed softly, "even if Regardless of the crisis already on our planet, there are countless stars above our heads."

"I think I understand why you often cast your eyes on the starry sky - it turns out that the future of all of us is really among the stars," Bertila smiled and shook her head, and then she seemed to "hear" something suddenly, with a slight expression Change, "Brother, I received a communication request from Deep Blue Well...it is a high-priority communication."

"Ophelia?" Gawain was a little surprised, he didn't understand why Ophelia would suddenly choose to contact him through the neural network, "Why didn't she come directly as Veronica...Forget it, let's get through , may be some special circumstances."

"Yes, communications are moving into the encrypted space."

Bertila lowered his head slightly and said, and then, an invisible wind suddenly blew across the vast flower field. In the next second, Gawain saw a strange scene suddenly appear in the flower field - an illusory open room Appearing in front of him, it looked like somewhere in the underground fortress of the Deep Blue Well. There were neatly arranged ancient devices emitting a faint blue light in the center of the room, and a blurry stream of light continued to pass over those devices. Flying over, like countless fireflies.

The figure of Ophelia Norton stands between these devices, using the same "doll" incarnation of Ophelia Norton in history-it seems that she is inspecting it herself own "territory".

"Ophelia," Gawain said, "I didn't expect you to find me in this way—what happened?"

The figure who seemed to be checking the equipment turned around immediately, and a gentle and familiar voice came to Gawain's ears: "This is the oldest storage array in the Deep Blue Well, after the chaotic magic in the wasteland calmed down , some of the devices here have resumed operation, and I found some... extraordinary things here."

Gawain frowned slightly: "An extraordinary thing?"

"Some magic power fluctuation readings," Ophelia looked serious, "stored seven hundred years ago and recorded by automatic equipment, I suspect... The Deep Blue Well recorded the 'body' of the magic tide in the form of data. "
