Chapter 1579 Xia Feng

Since the end of the month of recovery, the weather has become warmer and warmer. The short spring does not seem to stay in this land for a long time, and summer is gradually approaching—but for people living in Thorin, The alternation of seasons has gradually become a less obvious concept. The majestic vitality emanating from the giant tree and the magic field covering the entire plain block the cold wind from the outside. Under the canopy of the giant tree, warm spring and midsummer are a kind of Almost eternal loop.

In the south of Solinburg, Margarita, who is also the regional consul and the commander of the construction corps, is personally supervising a batch of special materials being loaded into the convoy. She and her entourage are standing next to the loading area, looking at the The lifting device of the long boom lifts the two-three-meter-high tubular containers from the stack, and puts them lightly on the large transport vehicle next to them, and the loading and unloading workers cooperate skillfully to move forward, using locks, safety ropes and tarpaulins. Secure those silver-gray "cans" in the middle of the car tray.

The person in charge of the team stood not far from her. This middle-aged man with a big beard and a strong figure was looking up at the huge tree canopy that covered the sky. It took a long time before he looked away. , with an exclamation in his tone: "In some areas of the Holy Spirit Plain, the trees have just bloomed, but you seem to be spending summer forever here."

"It was actually a little colder a few days ago, but as you said, after living here for a long time, I will almost forget the change of seasons outside," Margarita laughed, "Ms. They considered whether to adjust the climate of the Solin region according to the changing seasons of the outside world, but the druids evaluated the ecology of the entire region and believed that the plants and animals here have adapted to the unique environment under the canopy of trees, and even many animals The ethnic group has already regarded this place as a fixed place to spend the winter, so this plan will not go away."

"I heard that scholars in the northern region are studying the ecological regulation mechanism of the giant tree of Sorin, and they are planning to artificially build the 'Yongchun Farm' in the valley of the northern region," the team leader took out a pipe from his arms, and walked slowly. Stuffing tobacco in it, he said casually, "They also investigated the Typhon people's 'magic ecological dome' technology before, and later found that the cost was too high, and it was not suitable for the extreme situation in the north. Looking back, it was still a druid's. The technology is more reliable..."

"After all, Typhon is closer to the south than us. They don't need to consider growing food in the ice and snow on the extreme northern border," Margarita shrugged, and then noticed that the loading and unloading work on the convoy was coming to an end. It's the last car, Mr Pokharf."

The team leader known as Bokoff looked up, put the pipe in his mouth casually, and stepped to the side of the last transport vehicle. The last tubular container was about to be loaded, and he stepped forward and knocked on the tubular container. The shell of the container, the iron-gray outer wall of the latter made a slight clicking sound, and then the curved cover on its surface slid open sideways, revealing the contents inside.

It was a transparent high-strength crystal cabin, which was filled with a thin biomass solution. A brand-new synthetic brain was floating in the center of the container. I noticed that the shell of the container was opened, and this synthetic brain, which was about to take a ride to work, was in the liquid. After shaking his body, a series of small air bubbles appeared, and a nerve tentacles slightly raised—Pokkaf also raised his hand when he saw this, and slapped the nerve tentacles through the thick crystal wall.

.

"Happy to work," the team leader with a big beard knocked on the container with a smile, and the shell of the container was closed again, watching the heavy tubular container being lifted by the hook and sent to the Then he turned around and said to Margarita, "Actually, I suggested to the above that synthetic brains are not incapable of walking, they can even fly, and they only consume two steamed buns per 100 kilometers. After they leave the factory, they are completely Can you go to work and perform your duties by yourself, you don’t need a transport fleet at all..."

A large group of synthetic brains floated out of the biochemical synthesis cavity in the Solin area, and several tentacles rolled resumes, ID cards, and dry food on the road, floating all the way to factories and laboratories in various places. Suddenly, his expression became subtle: "This... Considering that there are still many ordinary people who are not familiar with and don't understand the synthetic brain at this stage, and the safety of the synthetic brain itself when it is on the road, the plan you conceived is now It's still a bit early at the stage..."

"Well, that's what the people above me replied to me at that time," Pokav spread his hands, "But you said that ordinary people have concerns about synthetic brains, I agree, but if you said you were worried about their safety when they were on the road, then I I don’t really recognize it, do you know how capable these brains are? Last month, a factory in Hongfeng City exploded, and the two synthetic brains in the control center forcibly opened the gate when the escape door was stuck. It was removed from the wall and ran away, and on the way, it also saved three workers who were fainted by smoke..."

Margarita: "..."

She felt that she couldn't keep up with this weird topic, so she simply waved her hand to bring her attention back to the business: "Including this batch, the orders for computing units required for the No. 1 and No. 6 'caves' are considered complete. There shouldn’t be such a large order in the future, right?”

"Probably not," the team leader thought for a while, and said while smoking a pipe, "At present, the computing nodes of all the caves are almost completed, and the main work left is to get the life support facilities and living areas. Most of the follow-up tasks are in this area, and after all the transportation tasks are completed, my wife and I also signed up as the resident computing power provider of the No. 1 'cave', and I will stay there until everything is settled, so You won't be seeing me for a long time, Ms. Margarita."

Margarita nodded slightly, then her expression became solemn, she turned to the middle-aged man with a big beard, and saluted seriously: "Thank you for your dedication, Mr. Pokoff."

Bokoff froze for a moment, then slowly smiled, he solemnly returned the salute with a soldier's attitude, raised his hand, the scar on his arm was faintly visible under the cuff: "I was also a soldier, sir - we are all doing our duty .”

A gust of wind blew through the canopy of the giant tree of Sorin. The warm wind from the Holy Spirit Plain caused the leaves in the canopy to sway. As the canopy area goes upwards, the brilliance of the glorious sun spreads on the surface of the leaves and wooden skeleton like another piece of land, and then shines brightly on the surface of the huge antenna device on the top of the canopy.

Humming low-pitched sounds came from all over the antenna array, and the powerful mechanical device drove the crystal array to rotate precisely in mid-air. Hundreds of amplifying crystals were arranged in a signal receiving state, and they captured the most powerful sound in the atmosphere. The weakest vibration of magic power turned this subtle vibration into words from afar, and sent it to the translation nodes deep in the canopy area and the star breakers.

Bertila's avatar stood in the center of the command hall, presiding over another regular communication between the Loren Alliance and Noi. The main technical information had been handed over, and the atmosphere in the communication channel was relaxing a little. She saw the The text sent by "Witch" Nova is appearing in the holographic projection, and the jumping letters seem to reveal a kind of relaxed and joyful mood: "...We have initially reproduced the magic wave sent by you in the laboratory phenomenon, although due to time constraints, we have no way to build an experimental environment that fully meets the requirements, but the success of the first stage is enough to prove that all our theories so far are correct and reliable..."

"This can clear away all the anxiety of our two civilizations in the process of activating the 'Mind Unification Field' and the 'Mother Planet Barrier'," Beltira replied while considering the vocabulary - when Gao Wen was unable to personally deal with government affairs When conducting interstellar dialogues, as the command center of the entire communication system and a part of the hardware carrier, she naturally has this dialogue authority. "We have also verified the mental unity field in the simulated environment in the laboratory, and confirmed that this protection method is effective. The magic tide works."

After sending this message, Beltira glanced at the memo at hand again, and then prepared the next message: "In addition, the magic tide observation device we built on this planet has entered the final stage of the project, and the last sensor The device is being assembled next to the focus of the vibration, and it is expected to be installed and started within 24 hours at the earliest, and Loren will have the ability to observe the magic tide in deep space."

After this message was sent, the communication from Nuoyi fell silent for a short while, but Bertila was not surprised by the silence. She just waited patiently for a few minutes before "hearing" the surge in the antenna array again. A voice came from the other side of the star sea, and the thoughts of "Witch" Nova turned into words, which were projected over the magic net terminal: "Sorry, I have to edit several times in a row to control my excitement - this exciting news just now There was a cheer in the Elder’s Chamber of Noi, I really want you to see the scene where all the cities on the surface of Noi began to light up all their lights one by one!”

"I can imagine," Bertila smiled in his heart, and then sent a message while comparing the reference data on the memo, "Then according to the plan, we will complete the whole system debugging as soon as possible after the sensor array is turned on, and implement The first deep space observation. Before that, we will contact Noy to ensure that the sensor arrays of the two planets are powered on at the same time and scan their respective target areas synchronously. According to the position and rotation orientation of our respective parent stars, every 48 There should be at least a three-hour sync scan window within hours, which should be sufficient for the first sample."

"Yes, your data is accurate, and the three-hour scanning window is enough to complete the initial sampling," Neustar sent a message after a moment of delay, "and if everything goes well, the sampling data obtained from the initial scanning is sufficient for the unification of the mind." The field and the parent star barrier have provided the 'baseline parameters', and within three days at the earliest...we will get the 'cipher key' that allows the two civilizations to survive."

Bertila looked at the jumping letters in the holographic projection, and a slight sense of relaxation finally emerged from the depths of her tense nerves—even though she no longer had a human-like beating heart, nor could she Breathing deeply like a human being, but this long-lost sense of relaxation still made her clearly aware that she was still "alive".

After that, she completed the follow-up conversation with Noi Civilization, which included some details when the magic tide observation device was started and the time synchronization of the two planets again. The content mentioned in the memo was finally handed over, and the command hall Some of the seats have finally ended their busy state.

But the super-light communication between the two planets has not been suspended.

This is a new habit formed by both parties after they learned of the existence of "Witch" Nova.

Leave a moment for that Nuoyi girl who watches over the sea of ​​stars.

Bertila looked at the operator's seat closest to him, and Bud sat there staring at the control terminal in front of him as usual.

She withdrew her gaze and asked in the distance, "Nova, are you okay?"

"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Bertila, everything is fine here," Nova's response quickly reached Loren, "I am adjusting a few monitors outside the satellite, trying to turn my gaze to the depths of the starry sky .”

"Are you looking at the stars?" Bertila was curious.

Nova's response was delayed for a moment: "...I'm looking for you."

"Looking for us?"

"Yeah, I'm looking for you... Strictly speaking, I'm looking for the star closest to you," Nova sent a message, and she seemed to be in a good mood, "The monitor of this satellite is mainly based on optical observations , I can't see the planets around the star, and the gaseous planet you call 'Sun' is also difficult to observe, but if I can find the star you call 'O', it will be quite Did you find you?"

Bertila was stunned for a moment, a little puzzled: "But you already know our position, and the communication between the two planets is based on directional transmission. Why do you need to use optical observation to find it?"

"...This is just my sudden interest," Nova explained, "I want to see if I can see you with my 'eyes'. Of course, even if I can see, that gleam of light should have appeared four years ago Did you come out?"

"Indeed, we are far apart after all," Bertila smiled in his heart, and then asked curiously: "Then did you find it?"

"...Not yet, without the assistance of the system, it is more difficult than I imagined," Nova's reply came after a long delay, "This is the first time I have used a purely manual and purely optical method." Trying to find a specific celestial body in the starry sky, I am very unskilled, and looking from this direction, your side... the celestial body is very dense."

She paused, and then came new news: "But I believe I can find it, I just need to be familiar with the operation..."

Nova seemed to be doing something she thought was meaningful and fun.

Although she has only one brain left now, and is imprisoned in the life support system of an ancient satellite, although from the perspective of the Loren people, the "witch" is in the midst of a huge sacrifice, but Nova himself ...seems to still be trying to live.

Bertila hesitated, but finally broke the silence: "Nova, did you know that Loren has a very special and advanced biochemical technology."

After a while, Nova's response appeared on the communication interface: "Biochemical technology?"

"Yes," Bertila pondered over his words, "We can manufacture highly efficient 'biochemically synthesized brains' in factories, and we can also connect the brains of intelligent creatures multiple times without causing neurological trauma. Reconnecting, we can even directly connect brains for joint thinking, and create artificial bodies in culture sacs to 'resurrect' dead people."

The communication on Nova's side stopped for a longer time than before, and it took several minutes before the news came: "It's amazing technical power! I think I understand what you mean, Ms. Bertila, do you want to Help me reshape my body? But the life forms of the Nuoi people and the various races of the Loren Alliance are different."

"But there may be a possibility in this regard - the Loren Alliance itself has a variety of racial members, and our biochemical experts are very good at dealing with the differences in life forms between different races," Bertila said seriously, "Nova, maybe this can become the next technical exchange project between Nuoyi and Loren after the end of the magic wave. I think you can look forward to it."

The fluctuations in the FTL communication quieted down. Nova seemed to be thinking, or maybe talking to her compatriots. Beltira waited patiently, and she didn’t know how long she had waited. She suddenly sensed Again there were ups and downs in the antenna array.

The sound from four light-years away was transformed into an image in the holographic projection.

Bertila saw a big smiling face appearing in the holographic projection—it was a pattern like a stick figure, and after this bright smile, there was a response from Nova: "Well, I'm looking forward to it!"
