Chapter 1437 The Information They Revealed

The monitoring system switched to the normal monitoring and recording mode, and many people in the hall of Sorin Command Center heaved a long sigh of relief—this extraordinary interstellar communication has finally ended smoothly. Personally speaking, they may need many days to calm down and slowly think about the meaning of what happened today, while for others, the "dinner" has just begun.

Deep in the neural network, in a special encrypted space, an invisible wind suddenly blew up in the boundless field of pure white flowers. Gao Wen's figure first appeared beside the white round table with light golden lines and exquisite hollow decorations, and then his gaze Looking across the table, I saw a piece of light green flower vines rapidly fading from the air, and the figure of Belsetia Morningstar was emerging from it, followed by another deep black solemn door descending from the sky. After the door opened, Luo The figure of Seta Augustus stepped out of it.

Gao Wen's eyes subconsciously lingered on the two empire leaders for a few seconds.

These two...how much krypton did they spend after going back from the last meeting?

But soon he put aside this slightly divergent thinking, and turned to speak seriously: "All the records of the Xinghai Communication have been sorted out and sent to you, and there is also a file in the corresponding database of the Xinghai Project. , which can be accessed at any time.”

"I have already received it." Rosetta Augustus nodded slightly while maintaining his usual serious and indifferent expression. "When will the communication device on Antaveen be able to be used again?"

"They have already prepared the vulnerable parts of the main antenna in advance, and the repair can be completed in less than a week," Gao Wen said immediately, "That is to say, we have less than a week to slowly digest what we heard today. ...astonishing content."

Listening to Gao Wen's words, the corners of Belsetia's mouth twitched slightly, and she muttered in a low voice with a strange expression: "Amazing...it's really quite amazing. The civilization that calls itself 'Noi' has mentioned too many unimaginable things. Do you think this information is credible?"

"Frankly speaking, I have three doubts about all the forces that I come into contact with for the first time," Rosetta frowned. He sat down in his own seat, and a cup of hot black tea appeared on the table in front of him. "But when it comes to what the other side has shown in this exchange ... I think we'd better assume they're all true."

Belsetia also took her seat, and looked at Lord Typhon in front of her: "It seems that we have similar views... Regardless of whether this group of people who call themselves 'Noi' are really as honest as they appear, in the Regarding the issue of the magic tide, we'd better make all the preparations."

"They said that they have a way to protect the minds of the groups on the planet when the tide of evil comes, and they mentioned a device called the 'Mind Unification Field'," Gao Wen kept recalling the contents of the previous communication,

At this time, he said thoughtfully, "If what they said today is true, then sooner or later they should send over some 'technical information' related to it..."

Rosetta shook the teacup in her hand, watched her reflection gradually shatter in the water, and said slowly while thinking: "Let's not mention whether there may be any traps hidden in it, let's assume that this 'Mind Unification Field' device It is true, assuming the effect of this thing to resist the magic tide is also true, whether we can really use it is also unknown...'Noi people' said that it took them 1400 years to build this protective device , This is still in the case of sufficient technical reserves, how long will it take us to put something of the same scale here?

"Now we don't know what the technical level of the 'Noi people' is. Although they seem to have the ability to step out of the planet, their society is obviously influenced by the mysterious 'pioneer group', and their technological development is extremely difficult. Judgment... They may be much more advanced than us, or they may just be superficial, and even their understanding of the magic tide may not be correct.

"Besides this issue aside, we have to consider another possibility: the defensive technology that works against aliens may not necessarily be useful for us. Humans and silver elves have innate differences in their nervous systems, not to mention our poor two planets."

"I've also considered these issues," Belsetia nodded lightly, "The key issue right now is that we still have too little information... After all, it's only the first contact, and too many things can only be speculated. So no matter what How, contact must still continue. On this basis, I think we can also temporarily accept their "cooperation" invitation, at least to conduct some technical exchanges - this will also help us to further understand this "promise" The unthinkable things mentioned by 'civilization'."

Hearing Belsetia's opinion, Gawain also slightly nodded and said: "We are far away from their planet, and at present the two civilizations can only barely communicate by remote communication. This is a great inconvenience, but it is also just right. 'Safe distance', we don't have to worry about 'cooperation' being too deep, and we don't have to worry about 'cooperation' getting out of control. After all, the long distance makes it impossible for either us or 'Noy' to grasp the true meaning of this interstellar cooperation. This is actually a good thing.”

Due to the long distance and technical limitations, the two civilizations that have barely established interstellar communication can only use limited channels to transmit information, and they will not be able to really contact for a long foreseeable period of time-a period where neither side can take the initiative. Perhaps this extremely inconvenient situation is the ideal form for the first contact between two alien civilizations.

Faced with Gawain's statement, the two empire rulers nodded in agreement, and Rosetta immediately brought up another matter: "What I care more about now is actually another matter... about their 'gods'. '."

"A civilization that has achieved 'coexistence' with its own gods..." The Silver Queen's expression quickly became serious, obviously not only Gao Wen was thinking about this issue, but she was always thinking about this matter in her heart, "Maybe this This is the part that surprised me the most in today's 'communication'. Coexistence... what kind of coexistence is it that allows them to send their own gods into the universe as 'observers'?"

Gao Wen didn't speak, but just frowned. His thoughtful performance quickly attracted the attention of the Silver Queen, who immediately asked, "What did you think of?"

"Actually, I've been thinking about a question..." Gao Wen slowly opened his mouth while thinking, "Since the establishment of the Theocracy Council, we have been committed to breaking the 'two-way shackles' between gods and mortals—whether it is to eliminate The "spiritual seal" in the mortal group is to gradually "loosen" the gods from the gods, or it is a specific technology such as anti-divinity barriers and mental protection systems. The ultimate goal of these things is to promote the relationship between humans and gods. Segmentation, but what happens after the division is completed?"

"After the division is completed?" Belsetia frowned slightly. Obviously, she hadn't thought of this step at all. Most of the gods in this world are still on the throne, and the mortals of the Loren kingdoms are now far away from completely getting rid of the spiritual stamp. There is still a long way to go, and it is obviously too early to start thinking about things after the separation of humans and gods.

But she was not at all surprised that Gao Wen raised this question—after all, "Uncle Gao Wen" had always thought one step ahead of others, and it was even said that as early as the Ansu Kingdom, he had already set his sights on the sky, So it is obviously only a routine operation for him to start thinking about the order of the "post-mythological era" before the gods are untied.

Rosetta, who was sitting on the other side, seemed to be drawn into his thoughts. He frowned slightly, and said in deliberation: "You mean, when the chains between gods and mortals are completely severed, a new order must be established. To stabilize the respective 'positions' of God and man, this is a problem that the Theocratic Council will have to face in the future, and at the same time, do you think those 'Noi people'...have achieved this?"

Gawain nodded slowly: "The situation of the 'Noi people' may not necessarily apply to us, and their experience may not necessarily be effective on our planet, but there is a truth that we have now figured out ——The gods are not actually our enemies, and as long as the problem of two-way shackles is solved, they will not be a threat to the survival of civilization, then the answer is obvious: if we finally achieve the release, then we must and Many gods 'coexist peacefully'.

"There are already examples of this point—the senior advisors of the Theocracy Council, the god of nature Amorn, the goddess of magic Mirmina, the dragon god Enya, and if I expand it, the upper-level narrator Naritel will also be included. And Duarte, these are the gods of the past, but now they have all achieved coexistence with mortal society in some form. The relationship between Yiren' and their gods may be very close.

"If there is any key difference, I guess... there is only one "complete disclosure, making it the norm in public perception" - from the "Noi people" when they mentioned the "Observer Project" It’s not hard to see from the attitude that it’s probably not a secret in their society that the gods take the position of observers and go to monitor the magic tide.”

"Through disclosure makes it the norm in public perception..." The Silver Queen subconsciously repeated what Gawain said, her eyes slowly widening during the process, "Wait, you mean to let The existence of several senior advisors is completely open to the public? This...isn't this completely contrary to the norms of the Theocratic Council so far?!"

Rosetta next to him couldn't help but frowned: "We have been carefully controlling the leakage of information from senior advisers, and even within the council, we have implemented strict confidentiality regulations for personnel with authority below the second level, in order to To prevent too many mortals from knowing the existence of those senior advisors—all of this is to prevent the re-establishment of the link of faith..."

"I didn't say that I want to announce their existence now, let alone that this 'announcement' is unconditional." Gao Wen understood the nervous reaction of the two people in front of him, and he just smiled slightly, "It's just Have you ever thought about one thing - if the chain between humans and gods is completely cut off, those gods who have broken away from the gods are destined to live together with mortals in the form of "old gods". If we don't stabilize their 'state' of 'coexisting with mortals', we are actually leaving hidden dangers for the recovery of divinity."

The Silver Queen finally vaguely understood Gao Wen's thoughts: "...You mean, if the trend of thought 'determines' that a certain god's position is still there and the god is vacant, then this position will be filled sooner or later, and the position will be blocked. The best way to solve this loophole is to create a new trend of thought, a trend of 'God is no longer a god', to completely... 'overwrite' the old trend of thought?"

Gao Wen didn't answer her directly, but seemed to suddenly talk about an irrelevant topic: "Do you know the 'Civil Chaos in the Brumy Moon' in old Ansu a hundred years ago?"

Rosetta nodded: "Of course, this is a well-known history."

"There is civil strife in the misty moon, the throne of Ansu is vacant, and the descendants of Moen with thin bloodlines join forces to fight - there is no king on the throne, and at the same time, everyone has the possibility to become a king, but this chaotic situation will finally end, But it was not any of the 'heirs' in the melee at that time, but an 'illegitimate child' who was suddenly pressed on the throne."

Gao Wen spoke slowly, but suddenly changed the topic.

"It is impossible for us to 'eliminate' the existence of gods fundamentally, because the existence of gods is the objective law of our world. It is useless to deny this. We cannot create godless in a world where gods exist. Order, so... why don't we just 'make' the rules for gods and men ourselves?

"I have always had a vague 'feeling' that I may have grasped the ultimate form of relationship between gods and mortals... In this state, we do not deny the existence of gods, because gods are there Yes, it is an individual that can be seen and touched; we will not try to eliminate a god, because the god itself has long been a part of the world's norms, and it is the most essential emotion deep in the thinking of intelligent creatures. We cannot destroy ourselves as mortals. The seven emotions and six desires cannot destroy the "soil" that the gods produced; we can't put the gods under house arrest, and we can't isolate them from the world forever, because...we shouldn't treat the existence of those who have been sheltering all beings in the world for a long time. Do this kind of thing, even if it is their voluntary.

"In this final form of getting along, God... is very likely to be a kind of 'social entity' that has lost its old aura. It is a powerful individual that the public can understand and can still accept rationally after understanding. We will soon Clearly know how the gods were born and evolved, and also clearly know how these gods changed from 'he' to 'he' and 'she' step by step.

"By that day, no new gods will be created, and no existing gods will get out of control, because by that day... we have actually lost the ability to shape gods from thoughts, and we have also lost the ability to produce spiritual stamps. Based on the basic conditions, perhaps mortals will never be able to achieve truly broad 'reason', but at the very least, by then all our awe and blind obedience will hardly point to an illusory trend of thought projection.

"In the end, we did not defeat the gods, we did not deny the gods, we did not destroy the gods and were not destroyed by the gods, we did not control the gods and we were not controlled by the gods - in the end, when the mortal civilization of this planet came of age and stepped out of this planet At that time, we should have set off with the gods instead of leaving them in the old world.

"Only in this way, I think I can explain what is going on with the weird situation revealed by the 'Noi people' at the end."
