Chapter 1435 "Noi"

They called themselves "Noi".

This seems to be the name of the planet under their feet, and it is also the name they call their own ethnic group. In fact, the star interpreters don't even know whether the pronunciation of this word is correct, but they can only temporarily regard this special vocabulary as "alien star" Civilization" code name.

According to the "Noi" people, they have been transmitting signals in deep space for a full 1400 years. This long action has even spanned two dynasties and the lifetimes of many "Noi people". It has become an almost "regulatory order" behavior, which is deeply imprinted in their social operations.

This mysterious alien civilization is more frank and easy to communicate than people imagined—of course, it is also possible that, as they said, time is running out and they have no choice.

In Cecil City, Gawain sat behind his desk and watched the progress of the whole matter. The holographic projection in front of him showed the real-time view of Sorin's command center, and the interstellar communication that spanned light years was controlled by the starbreaker behind the scenes. They were continuously translated and sent to him at the same time. The most tense and variable "initial conversation" seemed to have been passed safely. The content of the communication was transmitted to the distant starry sky, and at the same time, various information about this mysterious "alien civilization" was also continuously transmitted here.

"They seem to have known about the existence of the 'Magic Tide' a long time ago, and even vaguely knew the truth of this celestial-level disaster," Amber looked at the paper that the printing device kept spitting out, and looked up at Gao Wen Said, "They mentioned a 'pioneer group' who left them with 'prophecies' of disaster and a lot of technical information, but this pioneer group was not the voyager...the voyager has in their language Another specialized vocabulary."

"It's very likely that this is the spark left by their civilization in the previous season," Gao Wen said of his guess, "There is not much information now, we can only guess that there was once a monster on their planet that almost defeated the demons." It seems that this civilization should be extinct now, but they left a lot of things to the 'Noi' people... This makes the 'Noi' people have a better understanding of the world than us in certain areas."

"... This didn't cause any problems with the gods?" Amber seemed inconceivable.

Gao Wen frowned and shook his head lightly: "I don't know yet, we should ask about this later."

As soon as he finished speaking, another new document was printed out. Accompanied by the creaking sound of the rollers, the still warm printing paper fell on the table, and Gao Wen and Amber's eyes immediately fell on it. See that is the latest communication record between Nuoyi and the star breakers:

Noy: "The pioneer race left an extremely profound impact on our civilization, but when we generate wisdom in (untranslatable here),

The pioneer group has ushered in the end, and only a handful of "descendants" who have fallen into chaos and have completely lost their wisdom characteristics are left wandering on the land. We have received inheritance from (untranslatable here), understand the nature of the world, and know how to think, This inheritance will continue to be unsealed along with our development, until we are qualified to accept the 'Star Tower'..."

Starbreaker: "What is 'star tower'? It's not on our standard word list."

Noy: "The 'star tower' is the ancient equipment we use to communicate with you. It is a relic left by the 'voyagers' in the sky above our planet. The pioneer group successfully awakened the star tower, but failed to change the status of their own group. Fate, at the last moment, they left the Star Tower to us as a gift."

Starbreaker: "We understand. In other words, you have not really mastered the technology of faster-than-light communication, and you can only rely on this 'legacy' to establish communication with us?"

Noy: "Exactly, we must rely on it to make our own voice among the stars - so the use of star towers has a special and honorable meaning in our group, and only a few qualified individuals can (here cannot translation) and achieve resonance.”

Due to the cumbersome process and the limited translation speed, the efficiency of this conversation is really not very high. When Gao Wen finished reading the latest information, the star interpreters far away in the Sorin command center were still working on the next step. The deciphering work at this stage gave both Gao Wen and Amber time to slowly think about the information revealed in those conversations.

"Sure enough, it's as we speculated before." Gao Wen breathed out lightly, and put the page aside, "They used the heritage of the sailors to send out signals... The technological level of this civilization is not It was as amazing as we imagined, and I think it's a little bit of a relief."

"Not only at the technical level...the frankness of their communication surprised me even more," Amber said with a frown, "They answered a lot of questions, and even revealed a lot of things on their own initiative. You must know that in their eyes, we are also a person who doesn't know the truth. 'Alien Civilization', but this group called 'Noi' doesn't seem to be so... afraid of it."

"In fact, we may be equally 'frank' in the eyes of the other party," Gao Wen shook his head with a smile, "Didn't we also prepare a lot of materials introducing ourselves and pass them on? It's just that all the materials have been passed on. Rigorous discussion to ensure that there is no harmful content in it - I believe the situation of "opposite" is similar. The first communication between two alien civilizations that have never been in contact with each other, both sides can only see the other party's candid display things, without being able to see the secrets that have been kept from the beginning, where the information on both sides is so closed that even asking questions on both sides is very limited, in this case, the conversation itself means candor."

Amber listened to Gao Wen's words thoughtfully, and at this moment, the printing device on the side began to spit out new content——

Starbreaker: "About the 'disaster' you mentioned, we already know something about it. On our planet, it is called a 'Magic Tide'-our scholars believe that it will cause intelligent creatures to have a negative impact on the world. The distortion of cognition, and then lead to the loss of control of the observer effect in the macroscopic field, and finally lead to the phenomenon of extinction of civilization, is this in line with your cognition?"

Noy (there is a long blank waiting here): "Yes, this is exactly what we want to warn you about! You already have a certain understanding of this, which is really good news."

Star Breaker: "So can it be understood that you know how to deal with the 'Magic Tide', but you can't do it alone, so you need to cooperate with us?"

Nuoyi (waiting blankly again): "At this stage, we don't have the technology to completely resist the magic tide, but we have some theories that may be able to protect the minds of intelligent creatures when the magic tide comes—but we really can't do this independently. thing."

Starbreaker: "We need a clearer explanation to judge whether this 'cooperation' should take place. What is your theory? Why can't you do it alone, but there is hope in cooperation with us? How do you judge a completely The strange 'alien civilization' can just help you complete this matter?"

Noy: "Because we must calculate certain parameters of the magic tide on an astronomical scale to ensure that the protection technology takes effect, and in order to collect the most original data, we need to establish at least two observation points.

"The distance between these two observation points must be greater than four light years—this is the basic scale of the magic tide during a complete shock.

"In this range, you are the only civilization that responds to us."

The content of the conversation on this paper ends here, and at the end of the paper there is a small footnote left by a line of technicians: the above-mentioned "light-year" unit has been converted.

Gawain raised his head and looked at Amber. Almost at the same time, they heard Beltira's voice from the magic net terminal next to the desk: "Do you think the things 'they' said are credible?"

Gawain glanced at Bertila, then looked down at the conversation record on the typed paper, and couldn't help frowning slowly: "There is too little information... Our research on the magic tide is actually quite superficial, even Even the first 'simulation laboratory' was planned not long ago, and these superficial understandings alone are not enough to determine whether these 'aliens' are lying..."

He squeezed the space between his brows, and began to think quickly, while continuing to say slowly: "...According to them, if you want to resist the evil tide, it seems that you must first conduct some kind of large-scale 'observation' on the evil tide. Set up observation points at two points four light years away to confirm a certain instant state of the magic tide... In other words, their theoretical 'protection means' should be an adjustable thing, perhaps the principle is To 'offset' the magic tide?

"It seems that although the 'pioneering group' in their mouth has left them a lot of knowledge, there are also a lot of 'knowledge loopholes', which makes them know more about the world than us in some fields, but they have no corresponding knowledge. solutions... or rather, solutions temporarily beyond their current capabilities..."

Bertila was silent for two seconds, before speaking slowly: "I don't know if they are willing to share their 'protective technology' with us first—or even just share their thinking in this regard, which should help us Judging the credibility of the matter."

"Let the Astronomers prepare for this issue," Gao Wen nodded, and then he thought for a while, "By the way, how do they plan to 'cooperate' with us—judging from the information revealed in the previous conversation , the distance between us and their planet is at least four light-years, and the only connection between us is this unreliable FTL communication. If they consider these actual conditions, then they should at least have a relatively close relationship. There are feasible solutions."

"Yes, the Starbreaker team has started editing the text."

What followed was a rather difficult waiting process. The silence in the study was almost only the sound of breathing. Gawain and Amber stared at the magic net terminal on the table and the printing device connected to the magic net terminal. Lightly tapping the armrest of the seat - until a few minutes later, there was a sudden click in the printing device, followed by a piece of white paper being slowly spit out with the sound of the machine shaft running.

Gao Wen and Amber's eyes fell on the piece of paper in an instant——

Starbreaker: "We do have the intention of cooperation, which is for the survival of both of us, but we must first understand your 'protection theory' to evaluate the feasibility of the whole thing. Please understand our caution—because We are also studying the magic wave, we don't have infinite energy."

Noy (waiting for a long time): "...we understand and are willing to share our thinking in this regard with you in advance.

"The destructive mechanism of the magic tide stems from its 'cognitive interference' to intelligent creatures, and our theory of 'protection' is based on this. We believe that if the 'cognitive' of intelligent creatures can be This disaster can be avoided by immobilizing in some state of non-interference, or by placing the mind of an intelligent being within a 'force field' that is effective against the tide.

"The knowledge left to us by the pioneer races speaks of a 'Mental Unity Field' device capable of covering the entire planet, and for the past 1400 years we have placed all of our peoples under the shelter of this device , and now, the only thing this device lacks is the observation parameters of the magic tide.

"Therefore, we need your help."

Starbreaker: "...we have understood it, but we cannot give an answer immediately. Our leaders need to conduct a more careful understanding and evaluation, but please rest assured that the response will be given in the near future.

"Before that, we want to understand one thing first - if we really establish cooperation between the two sides, how should this cooperation be carried out? The distance between the two planets is so far away, and we only have one Unstable FTL communication link."

Noy: "We will send the technical information to you, including how to build the observation device for the magic tide, and the complete blueprint of the 'Mind Unified Field' device-although the latter may not be suitable for your ethnic group, but for you It must still have value.”

Looking at the handwriting on the printing paper, Gao Wen fell silent for a moment, his expression extremely serious.

A "Mental Unity Field Device", a technology that has the potential to ward off the tide of magic.

Does he want to? Of course he wants to!

The "Noi people" need the help of the alliance. It took them fourteen hundred years to complete a grand project that can protect the entire civilization. Now they have almost completed all the preparations, but they are stuck at the most critical step. , now all they need is an observation point located four light-years away, they can activate the protective device, and their civilization can be saved.

But they are not the side that "needs others", at least not completely - because compared with them, the future of the alliance is really uncertain. The "mind unification field" mentioned by the Nuoyi people... At this moment There is a fatal attraction to Gao Wen.

Apart from this, things such as "whether the alliance has the ability to create the mind unifying field device" or "how long will it take to create this thing" are things to be considered later.

But no matter how impulsive he was, Gao Wen couldn't make a clear response right now.

After all, all his understanding of this mysterious "Noi" civilization at present only comes from the conversation records on these few pages, and many technical-related contents mentioned in these conversation records still need real experts Let's discuss and verify as much as possible, and he also wants to hear the opinions of Typhon and the Silver Empire - as the actual leader of the alliance, he is destined not to be able to shake off his allies on this matter.

Just as he was constantly weighing in his mind, Gao Wen suddenly heard Belsetia's voice: "May I ask, what are they going to do if we don't cooperate? This 'Noi' civilization...is there any preparations?" option?"
