Chapter 1573 Interstellar Speaker

The noise in the celebration square will continue until the early morning of the next day, followed by the long-awaited holidays and the coming warm season, but for some people, the holidays are always It's something that can't be expected - this includes Hetty, who has been working overtime for half a month, and Gawain himself.

In the study room covered with blue velvet carpet, Gao Wen was standing in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows and looking at the night in the distance. The sky in the direction of Pioneer Square was slightly white, which was illuminated by a matrix of high-power magic spar lamps floating in mid-air. The radiance released by the entire city, separated by a long distance and thick glass, he couldn't directly hear the noise in the square, but the noise was still transmitted to his ears through the magic network terminal on the table , in the slightly blurred noisy background, Veronica's voice came clearly: "... judging from the data collected so far, the sacrificial ceremony is not affected by the human half body of the gods and leading the sacrifice ceremony. cause adverse effects."

"This is what we were most worried about at the beginning - after all, the normal sacrificial ceremony uses the complete god as a 'beacon', but now we forcibly bypass the divine part... Fortunately, the theory is not wrong, The strong praying power of believers is the key factor in the sacrifice process," Gao Wen breathed a sigh of relief, "Tifeng and Baiyin have also received feedback, and the situation of the other two test sites is also in line with predictions. The on-site data will be sent to the council headquarters in a few hours, and I will trouble you then."

"This is my job," Veronica said immediately, and then she changed the topic, "Also, what do you think about the last words of the Holy Maiden of Fertility...?"

Gawain was silent for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "Because I felt the joy of God, I carried out their will unconditionally, even though I vaguely realized that this incident might lead to a terrible result... Acting out of God's joy, restraining one's thinking because of God's joy, suppressing one's curiosity instinct as a human being because of God's joy, in a sense, this saint of abundance can be called an extremely devout fanatic believers."

"Faith fanaticism manifests in various ways. Priests like the Holy Maiden of Abundance are not a special case. The more chosen ones or the chosen ones who can directly listen to the will of the gods, the easier it is to show this kind of fanaticism under the dual effects of faith and emotion. There is even a special term for this in theology, which is called 'spiritual gratitude'," Veronica said calmly, "This is actually a good thing, at least for our Ragnarok plan, A high-level clergyman who is devout enough to ensure cooperation like the Holy Maiden of Fertility is essential."

"I believe in your judgment," Gao Wen looked away from the window, and said casually as he walked towards the desk, "Pious and firm belief is the characteristic that a priest should have. On this basis, it is rare to be able to cooperate with the actions of the Theocratic Council." Talents, we will organize a series of sacrificial ceremonies in the next year, and the three gods of Fengrao will also have to 'replenish the goods twice'. You must ensure that the priests participating in it can cooperate steadily and Firm enough."

There was an immediate response from Veronica: "Yes, Your Majesty, I am sure.

. "

Gao Wen nodded, and then he thought of something, and asked casually with a smile on his face: "Do you mind some digressions? I listened to your chat just now. Your body really always Does it make people around you nervous?"

It would be a little reckless to say this to a stranger, but Gao Wen and Veronica can be regarded as friends, even confidants, and it is not a big deal to ask a question while chatting, and it is mainly Gao Wen's side who is also true. Curiosity—he has been dealing with Veronica for the past few years, and he has already adapted to the simulated personality of the other party and the fact that her main body is a server array, so much so that he even forgot that this "princess saint" is actually It was taken over by the ancient AI since birth, and he just heard the conversation between the other party and the Abundant Maiden, and he immediately became interested in Veronica's "childhood" - such a princess whose body is a super artificial intelligence is How did you grow up in the human palace?

As soon as his question was uttered, there was obvious silence on the other side of the communicator. It took several seconds for Veronica to speak: "You don't realize that I have experienced a complete childhood, do you?"

Gao Wen: "... To be honest, I almost forgot this fact."

"...'Veronica' also grew up as a child. As a descendant of the old Anzu royal family, I spent my entire childhood in Silver Castle, and even in my observations and travel records in the past hundreds of years , this period of childhood can be regarded as a special and...precious experience," Veronica/Ophelia said calmly, "I know what you want to ask—yes, I was in that period of 'childhood' My performance is not very good. The maids who take care of me think that I am a calm and indifferent child who is almost abnormal. Although the saying left by the outside world is that 'Princess Veronica has been smart since she was a child, and her talents are amazing', but in fact... I terrified those around me by my many inappropriate behaviors as a child."

Gao Wen couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "You have traveled the human world for centuries in various identities, I thought you were already very good at playing various roles."

"I'm really good at playing various roles, but..." Veronica paused a bit awkwardly when she said this, and then said as if sighing, "I really wanted to be less weird at the beginning, But how should I put it, for an ancient artificial intelligence, it is really too difficult to act as a young human girl..."

The corner of Gao Wen's mouth trembled. Although the video transmission was not turned on, Veronica seemed to see the strange expression on his face at the moment, and quickly added as if to explain something: "This is really very difficult, you I can't imagine what kind of logic a girl aged three to six should act. I tried my best to simulate and couldn't understand the thinking of children of the same age. Why do I need to cry sometimes? Why do I need to laugh sometimes? Why do I have to be right? Why do you want to make friends with little beetles and communicate with dolls before going to bed? I really can't understand...so I can only turn off the logic simulation and calculate in the room Spell models to pass the time, and then pretended to be lethargic, hoping that my body would grow up quickly..."

Gawain was dumbfounded: "...You started to pass the time by calculating spell models before you were six years old?! And you often fell into a coma? Then it's no wonder that the people around you are frightened by you, even Rebecca, then It was also after the age of seven that I tried to remove the beams..."

Veronica was silent for two seconds, and sighed very humanely: "I will never start with a child again."

Gao Wen couldn't help being amused when he heard the words, and he could clearly feel that compared with the "persona" who was gentle and friendly on the surface but indifferent and rigid when he first met, the speech of this ancient leader of disobedience is obviously much more human-like now, Her emotions are no longer entirely calculated, and the reasons behind this are varied, but either way, it's a good change.

And just when his conversation with Veronica came to an end, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the corridor, followed by a knock on the door and Hetty's voice came into the study: "Ancestor, may I come in?"

Gao Wen glanced at the mechanical clock on the wall next to him, then ended the communication with Veronica, and said towards the door: "Come in."

The door of the study room was pushed open, and Hetty stepped in. Holding a document in her hand, she came to Gawain's desk and said, "Ancestor, the regular communication with the Nuoyi people will start in ten minutes. According to the previously set schedule, you are personally responsible for this communication—this is the document you requested earlier."

Hearing what Hetty said, Gawain quickly organized his thoughts.

Since Antaveen completed the upgrade of the FTL communication array, the communication between Loren and the Nuoi people has been greatly improved. The method of shift rotation maintains a 24-hour standby to ensure that dialogue between the two planets can be started at any time. In this case, Loren and Noy still maintain the "official communication" every two weeks. Habits to exchange those most important intelligences that need to be processed by a group of people.

The two civilizations that are four light years apart have now exchanged a lot of information, including the experience of defending against the magic tide, the development of their respective beliefs, and the unique cultures and ways of understanding the world of the two civilizations. From the "careful touch" at the beginning of the contact, the Lun people and the Nuoi people have established a relatively stable alliance relationship, and in the whole process, more than half of the contacts were made by Gao Wen himself, and even personally.

A civilization that establishes communication with alien stars for the first time needs a unified "external caliber", and more importantly, a spokesperson with decisive ability and corresponding authority. At least in the cultural background of the Loren Alliance, this is an essential role. And on this planet, no one is more suitable for this position than Gao Wen——

He understands the knowledge of the sailors, the mysteries of the starry sky, the gods, and the order and rules of the current world. He has unquestionable authority in the entire alliance, including the Ragnarok plan and the mother star barrier. The planner and executor of the plan and many other salvation plans, when Loren stood in front of the starry stage as a "whole" to start a dialogue with an ethnic group four light-years away, he was the undoubted the speaker.

Gao Wen sat in front of the desk, and the communication equipment on the desk had been switched to the corresponding line, while the distant Sorin command center and the Antaveen super-light array had made preparations before that, and all the lines had been unblocked. Only the countdown was gradually approaching the agreed time node, Gao Wen glanced at the documents Hetty brought over for the last time, and when he was about to see the end of the documents, a rhythmic clicking sound finally sounded from the printing device next to him— —The white paper tape is slowly spit out from the machine, showing greetings from afar:

"Noye called to Loren to greet our friend—is everything all right?"

A smile appeared on Gao Wen's face, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said directly to the communication device: "Greetings to Noi, we are all well, and I am very glad to hear from you again."

The repeated exchanges between the two civilizations have accumulated valuable experience. The star interpreters and listeners have also straightened out their work processes. After the translation and transmission mechanisms have been optimized, the communication efficiency between the two sides is much higher than before, and there is no need to think about it. The order of each question, there is no need to worry about the overload of the antenna system, and there is no need to wait for the command center to perform cumbersome translation, transcoding, return and manual proofreading processes. Plus, it feels pretty much the same as normal remote chat.

On the paper tape, the Noi people's response was only a moment late: "We have received Loren's experimental data on the simulated magic wave and the verification of protection. These amazing data have greatly encouraged our society - to friends We would like to extend our sincerest thanks and admiration, we did not expect you to really do such an incredible thing.”

Gawain glanced at the document Hetty brought, and part of it was the communication record between Nuoyi and Loren last time, including an experiment record sent by the Loren Alliance to the opposite side of the star sea.

That was the experimental result of the "artificial magic tide test" completed by the Ophelia Matrix in the underground of the Tarash Plain.

Regarding this experiment of great significance to the two civilizations, Gawain did not hide anything. He told the Nuoyi people at the beginning that Loren had successfully recorded the fluctuation of the magic tide and had the ability to test it in the laboratory. Reproduced and tested it, and now the Loren Alliance has lived up to its rhetoric of the day.

Judging from the reaction of the Nuoyi people, the effect of this force after successfully pretending is outstanding.

"I'm glad that our experiment can help you," Gao Wen said calmly after a little deliberation, "but we want to remind you that this experiment was completely completed in the environment of the planet Loren, and it does not rule out the environment of specific planets." Therefore, we suggest that Noy should also reproduce the experiment on his own planet to confirm the results. After this communication, we will send a supplementary material, which includes the magic recorded by the Tarash laboratory. tide primordial fluctuations and the construction method of 'mimetic stars', hope this can help you."

After a moment's delay, the printing device creaked and spit out the paper tape: "Thanks again to my friends! We deeply understand the value of these raw data, and we must make good use of them."

Afterwards, the paper tape was exported for a short period of blank pause, and then Gawain saw another content being printed out: "In addition, we are very concerned about the recent situation of the Loren Alliance. 'Hidden danger, may I ask if Loren has any plans to solve it? This hidden danger is a huge threat. If you need help, we can set up a special advisory group to study this matter."

Looking at the content that emerged on the note, Gao Wen hesitated for a moment. He felt the frankness and concern shown by the Nuoyi people at this moment, but he didn't know how to explain that amazing Ragnarok plan-there are layers In the case of protection, he was not worried that the mention of "Ragnarok" in the interstellar communication would arouse the alertness of the divine half of the gods, but the fact that "stuffing bombs under the throne of the gods" was indeed shocking.

After much deliberation, he finally could only send a tactful sentence: "Thank you friends for your concern, but please rest assured that the gods are no longer a threat to us."

After these words were sent, Nuoyi obviously paused for a longer time than before. After a long time, a piece of paper came out of the printing device: "You killed all of you in a few days?!"

Gao Wen: "...?"
