Chapter 1455 Star Map Custodian

With the unremitting efforts of Cassandra and several siren sisters, the thorny bushes that occupy the center of the shadow hall layer upon layer and completely wrap the huge pillar were finally peeled off in pieces. These materials are unknown The crystals of the crystals may have had some very special "attributes", and may have possessed incredible power, but after a long time passed, their extraordinaryness has obviously disappeared, and now except for their relatively hard texture, they are the same as Ordinary stones are no different.

The high-frequency oscillating molecular blade cut through the thorns in front of it, and the hard crystal fell from the pillar with a clatter. Cassandra, who was in the form of a sea monster, finally stopped her ten tentacles. He retracted part of the cutting knife into his body, used the vacated tentacles to cling to the raised structure on the surface of the pillar, and put his upper body in front of the pillar to observe carefully.

Under the dim light, those complicated but exquisite, eccentric but ingenious patterns are finally exposed unobstructed, looking... as if with some kind of ancient and mysterious beauty.

"...This is incredible..." Cassandra couldn't help muttering softly, "I've never seen such a thing—there has never been a similar style recorded in the long history of the siren. Sea-monsters are already well-informed."

"You don't even know the sirens..." Gawain's voice sounded from the darkness around the hall, he has been paying attention to the work progress of the sirens, and also the patterns exposed on the pillars, "But no matter what How to say, this is definitely not the sailor style."

"Yes, it's not the style of the voyager, the difference is too obvious..." Cassandra muttered softly as if talking to herself, her eyes scanned the column carefully from bottom to top, observing its peculiarity Style: It is made of some kind of alloy. Its gray-black shell is hard and delicate, with complex raised structures, and many indicator lights embedded in the gaps flicker slightly, which makes it look very "advanced". However, in addition to these advanced features, its surface is also covered with mysterious and complex lines with unknown meanings. Those lines seem to be formed by countless deformed and twisted runes connected end to end, and the starting point of any line cannot be seen at all. And the end, it brings a sense of contradiction like a primitive religious totem.

"The thing must have been made by the voyager. This is an advanced data interaction device. There is an extension structure at the bottom to connect to other data terminals, but at the same time, it is covered with mysterious 'runes'... ..." Cassandra muttered, "I can't see what these runes do, but no matter how you think about it, they shouldn't be pure decorations..."

Gao Wen's voice came from the darkness: "Can you sense the flow of magic power in these runes or the 'interaction' between the surrounding environment and the runes?"

"I can't sense it," Cassandra shook her head. "Of course, it's also possible that the mechanism of the rune's effect is too complicated and obscure, which exceeds our perception level of magic power—you know, the sea monster perceives magic power. Not very good at it."

"...Then call everyone else in," Gawain said after a moment of silence, "let's study this thing together. In addition, you continue to remove the remaining thorn structures around the pillars and on the ceiling, Let's see if there are any more clues."

Although Cassandra has removed a large amount of accretion on the main body of the column, there are still many remaining thorn structures attached to the floor and ceiling around the column. It seems that it will take some time to clean up these things, and While the Krakens continued to be busy, Nicholas, Azarena and others who stayed in the corridor on standby also returned to the Shadow Hall.

For the first time, they saw the real appearance of the large pillar in the center of the hall, and finally realized how weird this "unusual painting style" thing was.

Nicholas floated in mid-air, and slowly turned half a circle around this large pillar. He knew that Gawain could "see" what happened here,

But the viewing angle of the monitor is a bit limited after all, and there are some clues in details that Gao Wen may not be able to find in time, it still depends on the on-site staff.

But in this half circle, he really saw some details that he hadn't discovered before.

"Here is a nameplate," Nicholas said loudly suddenly, and it floated somewhere on the side of the pillar. "There is a word on it, 'Anchor Point Generator'...Is this the name of this big guy?"

"Anchor Point Generator?" Gawain "frowned" under his ideology. He followed the progress in the Hall of Shadows, and his eyes focused on the huge pillar that had revealed its true colors, mixed with high-tech and religious mysteries. On the road, the weird name that Nicholas discovered made many conjectures pop up in his mind, "What is the anchor point? Why is there such a thing in the sky station..."

While Gawain was thinking about the new clues, Cassandra and the Krakens were also proceeding in an orderly manner to remove the remaining thorny structure in the hall, and gradually reached the end—huge and with multiple limbs The sea monster form is very suitable for this kind of heavy physical labor (of course, you can also develop some side jobs such as playing evil gods, deep-sea fears, horror bosses, etc.), accompanied by the crisp sound of crystal breaking and the noise of a large number of thorns falling to the ground, Kaka Sandra made a happy voice: "It's done!"

In the next second, a strange humming sound came to everyone's ears—the humming sound came from the depths of the "anchor point generator" in the center of the hall. It was not loud, but it seemed to be able to penetrate into everyone's ears. Azalena was the first to react. She stared wide-eyed at the huge pillar in the darkness, and saw the innumerable lines on its surface as if it had come to life in an instant. There has been a change!

All the stripes are moving, and all the edges are beginning to undulate and squirm. This horrifying and weird scene is like a grotesque dream. In this short "dream", Azalena felt that she saw through the changing patterns. something.

Those patterns formed words, or some kind of pictures that could directly convey information. She saw a massive amount of information frozen inside, which described an ancient and ethereal existence in a vast but vague way, and through This kind of "description" maintains the stability of that ancient existence. She can't tell what kind of feeling this is, because these information, or "impressions" are directly surfaced in her subconscious—and in the next second, it will be like The morning dew evaporated like smoke.

Azalena rubbed her eyes and found that the patterns on the pillars were still the same. The "information" that surged before seemed to be just a false memory that was suddenly planted in her mind. She thought that she had been in that weird state for at least A few hours, but judging from the scene, it seems to be just an instant.

However, what Bellanta said immediately next to her proved that what she "saw" at that moment was indeed real: "Did you see those? Azalena, just now... the indescribably huge information It suddenly flooded into my mind, but I can't understand what it is..."

"I saw it too," Azarena said with a shocked expression on her face, "but I don't even know what I 'saw', I just felt as if I understood some truths briefly, but those things are now Gone, only left in my mind..."

Leaving only some empty echoes, some impressions that once represented "there was something there", she witnessed things that mortals could never comprehend, but these things did not hurt her fragile sanity as a mortal, but like a breeze Dissipate harmlessly——she wanted to say this, but she felt that the words were too weird when she spoke, and just as she was hesitating, Nicholas' voice suddenly sounded from the side, interrupting the communication between her and Berlanta Conversation between: "Information? What information?"

Nicholas seemed completely unaware of the change in the pattern on the surface of the column just now, nor did he "witness" any "indescribable shape of truth". He just felt that the energy in the column became active in an instant. The equipment is buzzing and waking up quickly, the terminals connected to the large columns are lighting up one by one, and dim lights are gradually emerging on the ceiling.

Immediately afterwards, the ubiquitous thick shadows in this hall seemed to gradually dissipate a little—not completely dissipated, that abnormal feeling of darkness still enveloped the entire space, but this darkness was obviously not as dense and depressing as before To an unnerving degree, the lights sprinkled from the roof bring back the warmth and sense of security, and the shadow force in the hall is still entrenched, but it feels like... It's like an "out of control" released from some extreme. ”The state has returned to the state of orderly operation.

All these changes are obviously related to the activities of Cassandra and the others to completely remove the "thorns".

"We seem to have repaired something here..." Nicholas said in a deep voice, with a tremor of metallic resonance in his voice, "I can feel the energy rushing in the hall, and all the equipment here are gradually waking up. The pillar is the core of the whole change, and the lights on its surface are twice as many as before, and I will check whether the terminals connected to it can be operated."

Gawain listened to Nicholas' report and watched the sudden astonishing changes in the Hall of Shadows. In the depths of his consciousness, the "spots" and "lines" representing the working status of the various systems of the Sky Station also quietly changed. The spot of light in the Hall of Shadows was obviously brighter than before, and a large number of originally hidden lines emerged from the mist. Through these hidden connections, Gawain felt that he was linking to some new databases or command libraries. I know, some ancient permissions have been loosened again, and some dusty logs are entering his review list, and these data obviously point to this mysterious shadow hall and the "anchor point generator" with unknown functions.

"Try to activate the terminal on your left front," Gawain's voice suddenly came from above the hall, following the "lines" he saw in his consciousness, he began to instruct Nicholas to activate the corresponding hardware in the hall— ——This will help him further master the cabin section that has just "resurrected", "Enter the original command, 00-01-01-22-15-05."

Nicholas immediately began to cooperate - in the past dozens of days, he had cooperated with Gao Wen countless times, and the facts proved that it was very effective.

The terminal that had just started up with the awakening of the "anchor point generator" accepted external input commands, and the interface projected above it shook for a while, as if it wanted to reset its state briefly, but within a thousandth Within seconds, Gawain's will took over the terminal, and projected some of the logs stored in it that had only fragments left.

At the same time, those fragments of the diary appeared in Gawain's mind—they seemed to be some "notes" after the shadow hall was built, and some seemed to be instructions left by the sailor to a certain object or objects ——

"...the anchor point generator will be activated after..., and the target individual will remain in a...stable state...

"The target individual will accept the authority of the star map custodian after the anchor point generator is activated. The system clock will reset to zero and start running at this time. The data link of the sky station will be open to the star map keeper after the clock starts...

"It should be noted that after activation, the star map keeper cannot close the various subsystems and sub-permissions it carries. This task will continue to exist until the ideal model appears and meets the standard...

"...The link between the star map keeper and the anchor point generator is set as a high priority. On the premise of ensuring the operation of the sky itself, the energy supply of the anchor point generator and the survival of the star map keeper should be given priority in any case ...

"If the star map keeper dies or fails unexpectedly, the anchor point generator should restart immediately and reset the keeper status. If the star map keeper is offline while alive, the anchor point generator should be locked to the pre-offline state and continue to run, To maximize the survival of the custodian...

"If a permanent catastrophe occurs in the local planetary system, causing the probability of rebirth of civilization to be always zero within a calculable time scale, the project can be terminated early. If the star map keeper is still alive under such circumstances, then... Putting all energy into launching... performing an evacuation mission...

"Note: The sentinel system cannot establish direct data exchange with the star map custodian, in case the anchor point generator loses focus, such as the anchor point generator loses focus or enters the second level...or it will cause the keeper's data to be copied incorrectly and overflow... "

Fragmented system logs flowed through Gao Wen's mind like running water, but the hidden information brought more confusion. Gao Wen searched for this computer that may have been dormant for hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. Ancient equipment, trying to find more fragments to piece together what he saw, but only found some completely useless sky station operation records or hardware logs, and finally he could only refocus on these flowing logs Fragments, and saw the end of these fragments information——

"… Pay homage to the custodian of the star map, and extend blessings to all beings born and unborn on this planet, and wish you good luck—the sea of ​​stars is vast, the universe is cold, and the road is still long, but you are not alone .”

When Gawain finished browsing the log fragments read in his mind, the advance team in the Shadow Hall also saw the information projected over the terminal, and Azalena felt that she had rarely seen such a thing in her life. When I was completely confused like this today: "It's all... what is it?"

"The ancient plan of the voyagers to stay on this planet," Gawain answered her with a deep and serious voice, "It seems...the arrangement they left here is not as simple as 'surveillance'."

"It seems that the 'star map keeper' mentioned above relies on this so-called 'anchor point generator' to maintain stability, or 'maintain survival'," Bellanta said. He said thoughtfully, "This mysterious existence is the core of the whole plan...but who is ta? Or, is it... what?"
