Chapter 1737 Nolan’s Major Progress

To be honest, Hao Ren was not very interested in the origin and transformation ceremony of the Black Sword Knight. He came here mainly because of a signal scanned by the data terminal.

There are always regular pulses being released from the Holy Arsenal. This signal is short and repetitive, but it has a subtle match with another signal - that is the mysterious pulse that Nolan collected in the center of the earth.

After entering the Holy Armory, the signal sensed by the data terminal became more obvious, and now it has begun to lock on the original source of the signal.

The biggest feeling given by this abandoned first-generation holy arsenal is that it is empty - the 770,000 mechanical swords and a large number of supporting equipment that were once stored here have been moved to the south, leaving only a dizzying feeling here. huge hollows and countless neatly arranged platforms and supports. In the center of the Holy Armory, the lifting platform is connected to a cross-shaped long bridge passage. The long bridges point to four directions respectively. In two directions, you can see countless neatly arranged sword holders, and in the other two directions, they point to After careful scanning of the data terminal in the server area and the "Spirit Infusion Workshop" where soul infusion operations are performed, it was finally confirmed that the signal came from a certain corner of the Soul Infusion Workshop.

Hao Ren pointed in that direction: "Can we go over there and have a look?"

"Of course, feel free to take a tour," Constance nodded indifferently, "but most of the equipment here has been moved away, and there are not many valuable things."

Hao Ren smiled and said nothing. Under the guidance of the data terminal, he came to the spirit injection workshop. This was probably the most completely relocated place. Almost 99% of the equipment had been moved away, leaving only There are neatly arranged machine bays and a few strange-looking devices, but the signal does not come from any of the devices - it comes from a black obelisk in the center of the spirit-injection workshop.

"What is this?" He pointed curiously at the black obelisk, which was about a person tall and had an extremely smooth surface. But driven by magic, some words and symbols would occasionally emerge from the smooth black panel. Come out, but it seems to have no meaning.

Constance showed a strange expression: "The foundation stone...don't you know?"

Hao Ren suddenly felt a little nervous: This seems to be something the inheritor should know?

But he did not show his nervousness, but nodded naturally: "We really don't know. Don't be surprised, we really don't remember much in this regard."

Perhaps because the memory decline of the inheritors in this era is really serious, Constance did not doubt his presence, but explained calmly: "This is something that appeared with the restart of the era. We don't Knowing the origin of the cornerstone, we only know that every time a new era begins, there must be some stones like this scattered near the 'origin point' of the new era, that is, around the inheritors. Over time, we have regarded this black Stones are regarded as the crystallization of the alternation of eras, the 'marks' left in the process of annihilation and reshaping of the world, so even if these stones have no use, we still think that they have special significance..."

Having said this, she stretched out her hand and gently touched the surface of the "cornerstone": "In every important facility built by the inheritors, there will be a cornerstone like this to symbolize the continuation of the world. Even if the facility is abandoned, the cornerstone will remain. It won’t be taken away either.”

Stones that appeared during the turn of the era? Or... a stone that will not be annihilated with the world even after the change of eras?

Hao Ren suddenly became very interested in this so-called cornerstone. He imitated Constance and put his hand on the cornerstone, and at the same time ordered the data terminal to be close to the surface of the obelisk.

"Partner, the complete information has been read!" Almost at the same time, the surprised voice of the data terminal sounded in his mind, "So that's it... This thing has a constant 'concept' for itself, and it can only be touched when it is touched Only then will the inner information be released!”

Hao Ren lowered his eyelids slightly to block his suddenly fluctuating gaze: "What is the content of the message?"

"It seems to be a very complex set of keys... and a decoding database..." the data terminal said, and then exclaimed again, "It completely matches the signals Nolan read in the center of the earth! Partner, lay the foundation stone Recorded inside are the decoding rules for 'that thing' in the center of the earth!"

"Send it to Nolan immediately."

"Understood, the decoding book has been sent, and Nolan has started decoding."

Hao Ren withdrew his hand from the surface of the foundation stone, and the data terminal flew up and landed calmly on his shoulder.

"We have a rough idea of ​​what the Black Sword Knight's transformation ritual is about," Leah said from the side. "According to my standards, it is really not suitable for Archduke Owen - even if you use the Black Sword Knight's biomechanical transformation technology to strengthen it, He took away his body and used a mechanical sword to assist him in thinking, but letting his soul enter the mechanical sword and control his original body through remote control cannot be regarded as solving the problem of soul damage at all. Let's leave this matter to For me, I am absolutely sure that he will be fully healthy again."

Lia said with full confidence, and there was no sign of her looking like she was flipping through books in the examination room.

Constance's face, which had always had a slightly cold and indifferent expression, finally changed. She turned to Leah and solemnly bowed to thank you: "Then, I will thank you on behalf of Heywood. You have saved more than just A general.”

"I won't say more," Leah waved her hand, "Everything is for this 'change of eras,' isn't it?"

Hao Ren took over: "Then we will talk about this change of era... First of all, I want to confirm that to what extent is the change of era completed? It must be fought until the world is annihilated. Or... as long as the minions controlled by the power of annihilation are eliminated, the change of the era will be completed? "

"Eliminate the minions of Annihilation?" Constance couldn't help showing an incredulous expression, "How is this possible... The minions of Annihilation are endless. As long as the war continues, the power of Annihilation will continue to spread, spread, and infect, and everything in the world will become it. The minions of annihilation are only the length of time they persist, so the minions of annihilation cannot be completely eliminated. Fighting those minions, the world is being eaten away bit by bit, and then fighting them on the last small piece of pure land in the world, the final battlefield The decisive battle begins, and when everything is wiped out, the change of era will be completed...and those who persist in resisting on the final battlefield will become the first pioneers of the new era. This is the rule of the world."

Constance said these things in an unsuspecting tone, but Hao Ren immediately picked up on the clues.

"That is to say, no one has actually ever tried to eliminate all the minions of Annihilation before the world is destroyed. In fact, every end of the world is forced - it is the inheritors who cannot resist the offensive of the minions of Annihilation, which leads to the world Is this what it means to gradually fall and eventually be destroyed?”

Before Constance could answer, Vivian also spoke: "So regarding the matter of 'whether it is necessary to fight until the world is destroyed to complete the change of era,' no one can make a conclusion at all, because no one has been there from the beginning to the end. Let’s try another path!”

Constance opened her mouth, but in the end she couldn't utter a rebuttal. She could only frown and slowly said: "Thinking about it...it is indeed the case. But so what? Countless epochs have passed, and the ancestors are in their heyday. We have not been able to truly defeat annihilation before the end of the world, and our era is the worst era in history - a large number of inheritors have lost their memories, and ancient knowledge is incomplete. Under this situation, do you think we Is it possible to truly eliminate all of Annihilation's minions?"

Looking at Princess Constance who was becoming increasingly unstable, Hao Ren said calmly: "Who said it's impossible?"

Constance: "You..."

"Whether you don't believe it or you think we are ignorant, it doesn't matter," Hao Ren waved his hand, "In fact, we also need to investigate some more things about the truth about the change of eras. But it doesn't matter, we can resolve this battle first. Since we are facing a war against the end of the world...then the World Tree Temple can let it go."

Constance looked at Hao Ren in confusion, wondering what the other person meant by what he said, but Lily next to her was already happy: "Wow! Landlord, so you mean we can be reckless?"

Vivian glanced at the husky girl with disdain: "Look at how happy you are - if you have the ability to go to the battlefield, don't be a coward."

"When have I ever been timid?" Lily grinned, "How can strategic retreat and strategic defense be called timid!"

Vivian: "..."

Hao Ren: "..."

At the same moment, in the temporary base located near the center of the earth, Nolan was directing a large number of construction machinery to land on an alloy platform built close to the center of the earth.

The decoded information sent from Hao Ren has been entered into the database. After a simple comparison, Nolan has determined that these things are the key to accessing the mysterious "item" in the heart of the earth.

In the process of cracking these days, Nolan can be said to be helpless against the encryption barrier in the center of the earth. The latter's protective power far exceeds everyone's initial expectations - and this makes Nolan stunned.

She realized that the things in the center of the earth came from a creator with extremely high technical level, and when Hao Ren passed on the information about the change of eras and the cycle of annihilation to her, she had already vaguely guessed who left the things in the center of the earth. It's down.

It should come from ancient times, from that lost era before civilization declined.

What will it be? What is its function?

The construction machinery landed on the platform, and a large number of needle towers had been erected on the platform in advance. Under each needle tower was a long data needle. The lower end of the needle penetrated into the scorching shell of the earth's core and connected with it. A mysterious barrier deep within the earth maintains the physical connection.

For many days, these needles have been the limit of Nolan's depth, and she has never made any progress in accessing the data source in the center of the earth through the needles.

"Inject decoding information and start recompiling the data stream."

Nolan stood on the bridge, looking at the rows of data that were constantly being refreshed on the analysis interface, as well as the words "to be received" on the central holographic projection. In another window next to it, the construction machinery was nervously adjusting The status of each data stinger.

A sound like a heartbeat sounded on the bridge: Dong, Dong Dong, Dong, Dong Dong...

The heartbeat coming from the center of the earth seemed to be faster and more chaotic than before.

"Information injection successful, recompilation completed, initial contact pulse sent...sent completed."

Nolan stared at all the interfaces.

After a few seconds of torturous waiting, a line of text suddenly popped up on the central holographic projection:

The access request is received and the database is opened.

Done!

(I strongly recommend "The Warlock of the Marvel World" by the author Huo Zhixing. It is a novel that relies on clever ideas to fish in the troubled waters of the Marvel world. It is very interesting, imaginative, and easy enough. Anyone who is short of books and has no book can read it. Look, those who like reading about abnormalities will also like the style of this book.)
