Chapter 1580 The Approaching Tide

Gawain raised his eyebrows looking at the communication records sent from the Sorin area, and said with a smile to Bertila in the magic net terminal projection: "I didn't expect you to take the initiative to mention our biochemical technology to Nova."

"Is there something wrong with doing this?" Bertila didn't have any expression on his face, but his tone of voice seemed a little uneasy, "Although I don't think this involves leaking confidential information..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. As long as it doesn't involve the classified information specified in the memorandum, there's no need to hide other things from our alien friends." Gawain shook his head, and casually put the records in his hand on the table, " I just didn't expect you to take the initiative to do this - it's not surprising that you did this kind of thing seven hundred years ago, but I'm a little surprised that you do this today."

"...Is it immature and rash?" Bertila said slowly, "I didn't think too much about it at the time."

"This is a promise with a slim chance of fulfillment—although neither of you regards it as a formal 'commitment'," Gawain said casually, leaning back on the high chair, with a calm expression on his face, "We and promise Yi's "technical exchange" is currently limited to the field of magic waves. We are still very unfamiliar with other fields, and it is quite difficult to provide biochemical technical guidance for an alien group from a distance of four light years. High things, not to mention that right now we're not even sure we're all going to survive."

Speaking of this, he paused, then suddenly changed the subject and shook his head: "But you don't have to pay attention to these things, I can think of these things, that 'witch' actually understands it very well, and on the other hand, for It is always good to have more expectations and hopes for the future.”

Bertila nodded lightly, and then she noticed a little tiredness in Gao Wen's eyes: "You were holding an online meeting with other alliance leaders just now, right? Did it go well?"

Gao Wen raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief: "Although it took a lot of energy, but fortunately everything is going well. Now the project on the sky station has reached a very critical stage, and we have continuously sent more The three engineering teams finally ensured that the installation speed of the broadcast forwarding device could meet expectations. In addition, the Deep Sea Kingdom provided more large transport ships, and the transportation bottleneck problem between Loren Continent and the orbit elevator was also solved. The next big question is whether we can produce enough broadcasting devices before the tide reaches Loren, and today's meeting is mainly to solve this problem. .

"The final plan is to increase the production tasks on the side of the Silver Empire - the ancient factory devices of the elves can switch modes in a short period of time, and at the same time they are close to the southwest sea, and the transportation cost is the lowest.

"So in the next four to five months, the Silver Empire will suspend more than half of the domestic conventional industrial projects and put all the spare production capacity into the production of broadcasting devices. During this period, the alliance does not have The member states with advanced industrial production capacity will continue to provide materials to the Silver Empire to ensure that the latter maintains national order when more than half of the domestic material assets are shut down.

"

Bertila was taken aback for a moment, and quickly understood what Gao Wen meant: "...to turn the Silver Empire into a huge factory, and all state functions are used to ensure the supply of barrier components, and then produced by other powerless members of the alliance. The members of the barrier component 'blood transfusion' for the Silver Empire to support this unprecedented factory? This is really... a big deal."

"Yeah, it's a big deal, and only the Silver Empire can take on this important task," Gawain nodded, "At present, Cecil and Typhon have undertaken 80% of the 'Ragnarok Project'. There is no spare capacity to implement such a large-scale capacity adjustment, and other countries basically have no ability to manufacture broadcasting components, or even if they can produce a small amount of components, it is a drop in the bucket for the scale of the entire Sky Station.”

Bertila didn't speak for a while, and Gawain slowly stood up from behind the desk. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and watched the bright sunlight outside the window obliquely shining on the streets and alleys of the city. Above the distant horizon, the magnificent A majestic round of giant sun is gradually sinking to the west, and the cloud-like crown escaping from around the giant sun seems to be connected with the clouds in the sky, and on the surface of the giant sun, you can faintly see some As thin blood-red traces.

Gawain's expression suddenly froze, and he didn't turn his head: "Bertila, have you noticed the subtle lines on the surface of the sun?"

Beltira was silent for two or three seconds, and quickly responded: "Yes, brother, there are indeed some subtle red marks there. This... Could it be that the demon tide is coming?!"

"Relax, it hasn't come yet, but the 'concussion' on the edge of the magic tide is indeed approaching us. This kind of disturbance can span a distance of several light-years at the farthest. The working principle of the observation device is based on this," Gao Wen watched quietly Looking at the distant sky, his voice was steady and powerful, which gradually calmed down Bertila's slightly nervous mood, "The first signs actually appeared once a few years ago, but at that time no one could understand these astronomical anomalies. The mystery behind the elephant."

Bertila nodded knowingly, while Gawain continued to stand quietly in front of the French windows, watching the subtle lines on the surface of the huge sun in the distance, watching the calamity that was approaching this world step by step, and watching its projections. In the shadow of the world, he saw those blood-thread-like patterns slowly spread on the corona, gradually forming some more clearly identifiable red spots, which looked like blood was about to drip from the surface of the sun, and in a moment After that, the blood-like streaks and color blocks began to fade away quickly...

It was as if the calamity was venting its power to the world.

Gao Wen heard footsteps in the corridor - it seemed that he was not the only one who noticed the change of the sun. He took a light breath to straighten his expression, turned his head to look in the direction of the study door, and then he heard Hetty's voice coming from outside the door: "Ancestor, you..."

"Come in." Gawain's steady voice interrupted Hetty, and the next second, the door was pushed open, and a slightly nervous Hetty appeared in front of Gawain: "Ancestor, pay attention Have you seen the lines on the sun? Is that..."

"Don't panic, the end is not here yet," Gawain shook his head, and casually said as he walked towards the desk, "It just emphasized its own existence to us again."

...

The red lines that suddenly appeared on the surface of the sun were not only seen in Cecil's territory. At the same time, almost all areas on the Loren continent that were in the daytime stage saw the strange changes on the surface of the huge sun within ten minutes. And for those who know more about the truth, they are well aware of the terrible meaning behind this change.

The magic tide is really approaching.

The Ogure tribal country is located in the Holy Helm City at the foot of the Ancestor Peak. The five tribal kings came to the observation deck at the highest point of the city. Camilla, the tallest, stood on the edge of the platform, staring at that with a blank expression. The huge sun disc that has gradually sunk into a third of the horizon—it was approaching dusk at this moment, and the brilliance of the huge sun turned into a golden glow, splashing wildly on the towering and simple walls and roofs of the Holy Helm City. On the surface, the bloody streaks have almost completely faded away, leaving only a little inconspicuous dark red lines appearing and disappearing in the cloud-like corona, and gradually returning to dim.

The demon tide has not reached Loren, but the "ripples" escaping from the world-destroying giant wave have been able to lick the dust-like planet under the feet of mortals, and the powerful power it carries can make " The surface of "virtual celestial body" produces optical changes visible to the naked eye, and the "virtual celestial body" referred to here includes not only stars like "Au", but also the gas giant planet that illuminates the world of Loren.

Standing next to Camilla, the king of spirit witches, Sidur, said in a deep and slow voice, "A few years ago, I also saw such blood-colored patterns appearing on the sun, but I didn't know what it meant at that time... ..."

"According to the Noi people, the power of the magic tide can interfere with the movement of virtual celestial bodies a few light-years away, and the density and frequency of patterns appearing on the surface of the sun or gas giant planets can represent the relationship between the magic tide and the planet to a certain extent. The distance between celestial bodies, the last time we saw red spots on the surface of the sun was a few years ago, the next time...maybe in the next month, or even within this month," said the human king Wycliffe who stood aside, Then he shook his head, "And when the magic tide fully arrives, the crimson lines on the surface of the sun will cover almost the entire corona, and it won't fade away until the magic tide is over."

"...Are you facing the challenge of adult transformation under the shining of a bloody sun? It really sounds like some kind of epic prophecy scene," Wenna Bai Zhi sighed, "Then our world Are you ready to face this bloody day?"

Stur, the king of spirit witches, turned around and looked at the other side of Helm City. He saw the Ancestral Peak standing on the east side of this ancient city. Its majestic mountain was covered with armor made of steel. High towers are standing quietly in the afterglow of the setting sun. The huge antenna devices and crystal arrays point to the sky like sharp swords and arms. sensor array ring.

Camilla also turned to look at the holy mountain, her feline-like pupils shrank slightly in the radiance of the holy mountain's surface, she raised her hand, and touched the scar left by the previous war near her cheek , with a deep and firm voice: "At least, we are more prepared this time than the pioneers of every season in the past 1.8 million years."

Twelve hours later, the last sensor tower on the ancestral plain entered the final machine debugging stage.

In the not so bright sky, an astonishingly large ring structure was first illuminated by the sun. It centered on the lofty Ancestor Peak and was built around the entire plain. Large energy stations, relay stations, analysis nodes, The induction nodes are like a string of pearls inlaid on the ring, standing proudly in the vast and open wilderness of Ogure, and at the last node area of ​​the ring, the bright welding sparks finally subsided gradually.

A tower composed of several sections of cylinders and complex crystal arrays stands at this node, and a large drag chain with metallic luster extends from the body of the tower to the nearby nerve connection station and energy station. The construction team of the welding operation began to evacuate from the dangerous areas according to the procedures, while several large engineering vehicles were parked near this key node, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

At this moment, the rune array at the base of the tower has entered the pre-charging stage. With the countless runes brightening up, the on-site commander sitting in one of the construction vehicles also showed a serious and somewhat With a tense look, he heard the low humming sound from far and near, and several large facilities within the field of vision began to conduct power-on tests one by one, while the voices of instructions and reports from the general command center continued to come from the communication network. From Taichung:

"The vibration-focused energy assembly is in good condition...starting to release energy to the ring area...

"The thinking center of the vibration focus has been awakened, the servo brain array is connected... the neural bus is in good condition, the neural signal feedback is 100% efficient, and there is no error response.

"There is an abnormal pressure point in the biomass circulation pipeline... It has been ruled out, it is a sensor false alarm, and the redundant line has been successfully switched.

"The feedback signal from the observer's secret room is normal... The focus of the vibration began to output a reference shock to the ring area. The shock test lasted for 30 seconds. The sensor supervision units should pay attention to report any abnormalities at any time.

"The Observer Chamber has begun to take over the main system, preparing to perform the first assembly test..."

Under the increasingly bright sky, a ferocious beast is gradually waking up on the ancient land of the Ogure Tribal State.

This ferocious beast is made of steel, with the wisdom and courage of mortals as its blood and soul. It crawls on the plain of the Ancestral Peak, but its eyes are fixed on the endless, distant and deep interstellar space—under the blue sky, there is a message coming from the Ancestral Peak. There were bursts of deep roars, and the huge ring around the holy mountain began to brighten up one by one, the rune arrays lit up one by one, the magic tower began to operate, and the surging magic power and primitive nerve signals began to be created by countless mortals. And in the depths of the monster's mind, "Observer" Mirmina has taken over the authority of the main system.

"This is really...unbelievable..."

Feeling the tremors of magic power on the entire plain, feeling the powerful energy capable of killing gods operating in a precise and safe manner under the constraints of the observation system, even the goddess of magic known as the "Master of All Laws" cannot at this moment Suppress your wonder. In the depths of the observer's chamber, Mirmina is sitting high on the top of her gorgeous golden throne, and her perception extends to every sensor terminal on the plain through the vibration of dark blue magic power. This indescribable perception ...unprecedented.

Next to the Golden Throne, a magic net terminal was being activated, and Gao Wen's figure appeared in the holographic projection above the terminal, and he was paying attention to the operation of the magic tide observation device: "Mirmina, how is the situation on your side? "

"The whole system is waking up—this behemoth, it takes half an hour just to charge and activate." Mirmina lowered her head, looking at the magic turbulence around the throne, and the complex patterns projected from the sky of a large number of nearby terminal devices. , in a tone of amazement, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that this thing was created by mortal hands... Ah, the whole system is currently in good condition, so don't worry."

"Very good," Gao Wen nodded gently on the communication screen, "After the whole system wakes up, first perform a benchmark scan test on the target starry sky, and then we need to further calibrate and debug the observation device according to the results of the benchmark scan test. If it goes well, then you can notify Nuoyi to carry out simultaneous observation with us.”

"Understood, I'm ready to start here," Mirmina nodded, and said quickly while watching the wake-up process of the entire system, "There are still ten seconds left, and I'm going to activate the sensor array...

"Seven seconds, six seconds...

"Two seconds, one second... the sensor starts to vibrate!"

Accompanied by a magical tremor covering the entire plain that was imperceptible to the naked eye, Mirmina's will merged with the entire observation device.

In the next second, the endless ripples in the depths of the vast starry sky turned into turbulent data and poured into hundreds of sensor nodes distributed on the plain, and then, these "reflection parameters" from nearby stars flowed into the computing center of the Ancestor Peak , and was analyzed and reorganized by the large-scale servo brain array and human brain array, and entered into Mir Mina's mind.

At this moment, she saw the distant and deep starry sky.

And the shadow that is gradually creeping over the depths of the stars.

The short benchmark scan test was over, but Mirmina was still sitting motionless on the top of the throne, her expression seemed a little dull, and even the magical light flowing around her seemed to be affected by it, and gradually stagnated.

"Mirmina?" Gawain noticed Mirmina's abnormal reaction, and immediately asked, "How's the situation? Have you observed anything?"

"I... saw it, I did see it..." Mir Mina finally woke up, but her tone did not show the joy after success at all. Her eyes fell on a nearby magic network terminal, staring at Looking at the data and patterns that are constantly being compiled and refreshed, "Gao Wen, the observation device has given two completely different parameter models, and what I see... are two shadows."
