Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 222 Blinking, Dazzling

After a long wait of two days and six hours.

When the moon at the far side of Terra where they are located - "Yugou" is on the side of the planet close to the sun, echoing the other "Golden Mirror" in the same direction, and there is some kind of At the time of the gravitational effect, the stopped experiment started again.

(It doesn't matter if he stabs his back or not)

The seven people who were still active in the lunar ecological park stood together in front of a screen, looking at a tank-shaped device being assembled on the screen, all of them were quite dignified.

This experiment determines whether the research on Origin Stone can continue to advance. If the pre-civilized technological devices that use Origin Stone as energy will still be obliterated by the eyes and ears left by "it", it means that Origin Stone cannot be used as a countermeasure against "It". " means, there is no way to carry out follow-up research.

On the contrary, if it is not annihilated, it means that the device powered by the origin stone can fool "it" sleeping eyes and ears, and do quite a lot of things.

It is possible to send information to Terra, send them back to the Terra continent in a relatively stable manner, and even... leave some technology behind.

Anyway, what the future holds, success or failure depends on this moment.

Heimdall glanced over the planetary position data, silently wondering if there might be something missing.

After a while, the calibration was correct, and Hana pressed the start button, and the jar several meters high suddenly fell into a kind of ripples that were visible to the flesh, and the color became more and more chaotic.

The platform below became brighter and brighter... and finally flickered at a certain ultra-high frequency.

A vague "orbit" flashed in Xia Lan's eyes. It swept across the starry sky and disappeared beyond what he could observe—and the jar also completely disappeared in this flash of light.

The hum of the engine that accompanied his ears gradually dissipated, and Heimdalton seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, calling up another screen.

"It seems that just starting the teleportation won't prevent you from being discovered." Xia Lan touched her chin and said, she was even ready to run away with Skadi and Ghost Shark just now.

Although I don't know if I can run away... If it doesn't work, I unblock the system, slap it awake, and force it to run to another world.

"So where did you launch it?" Xia Lan asked. The destination of the jar is kept secret, only Heimdall and Hana know it, not even the other two people who participated in its production. Know.

"On the orbit of the fourth planet, there is an outpost we left behind. After jumping from that outpost, the test device will be sent back to the planetary orbit of Terra, which is another alternative to our current position. side.

"No wonder you want to make a secondary teleportation device in it." Lin Nan suddenly realized: "After the base jump, although the base may be destroyed immediately, if the test device is not destroyed, it means that the source Stone will not be noticed."

"And after a jump, the possibility of being discovered here can be reduced." Xia Lan touched her chin and said, and couldn't help admiring their decisiveness in her heart.

An outpost of unknown size but extremely cherished, a test device that might attract the attention of "it", was included in a simple preliminary test in such a short period of time, without even the slightest nostalgia and Reluctant.

"Go and wait for a while, the result will take a few minutes to come out." Heimdall said with a shrug, and left without saying anything. It seemed that there were other things to do.

So a group of people waited anxiously as if waiting for a child to be born. During this period, Xia Lan compiled a compound escape spell in the void.

……

After waiting anxiously for a full 26 minutes, the goddess of fate chose their side.

……

April 26, 3:27 am.

The land of Terra, the main ship of Rhodes Island.

"Didi~!" A clear notification sounded on the terminal, but it did not wake up the engineer who was already drooling from sleep in front of the screen.

"Miss Lucille, wake up." A series of electronically synthesized voices sounded in the stereo, and finally the engineer who was sleeping soundly frowned.

"What's the matter... Is the calculation over..." She raised her eyelids in a daze, subconsciously sucked the saliva on her chin, and wiped it twice indiscriminately to look at the screen when she realized it.

She looked at a string of codes on the screen and asked confusedly, "What is this?"

"Comparing with the database, please wait."

While the PRTS was doing the comparison, Ke Luxie wiped off the drool on the table, opened the database and looked up its source—it was a long-wave communication, and the direction of the source was unknown, but the frequency used was commonly used by Rhode Island communicators. frequency, indicating that the sender is probably related to Rhodes Island.

Ordinary messy signals are unlikely. PRTS can filter most of the useless signals by itself, and the signals that can actively notify her must have special significance.

"Comparison result: 99.76% similarity with JK-type encryption, and the similarity of other types is below 90%. It can be speculated that it is a JK-type encrypted information string." PRTS gave a reply after a while.

But Lucille tapped the table with her fingertips, frowned and said, "Doesn't that thing need a special password string to decode it? It needs three sets of three-digit numbers. Where can I find this password?"

"I can perform forced deciphering." PRTS quickly gave his answer: "In the case of 10% resource usage, it is estimated that it will take up to 68.7 hours."

But Lucille slammed her mouth, and agreed: "Then start the calculation first, use 7% of the resources to calculate before 00:60 in the morning, and then divide it when the demand for computing power increases during the day."

"Ok."

"—The calculation is over."

Kelu Hilton, who was about to stretch, staggered for a moment, looked at 000.000.123 on the screen, slapped the table and scolded, "Who would set the password so simple!"

After taking a few deep breaths, she asked, "So, what's the answer?"

"NO.4 Safe." PTRS reflected this short character string on the screen, and even found out the operator represented by this number - Xia Lan.

The doctor’s code name at the bottom of Rhode Island’s information center is No.1, Kelsey’s is No.2, PRTS is No.3, and Xia Lan’s is No.4.

But Lucille was stunned for a few seconds, then stood up abruptly and said, "So, this thing is Xia Lan's reply?!"

"I'm afraid so, he's the one who figured out a password like 123." PRTS laughed humorously at the man with an extremely straightforward and simple style.

……

Go back to ten minutes ago.

Xia Lan, who was notified by the intelligent system, came to the laboratory, and quickly verified from Haina's mouth the conjecture he had made on the way - now he can broadcast communication with Terra!
Although in order to ensure safety, the data capacity is extremely small, and it is impossible to specify a certain area to transmit information, but there has been a qualitative leap from the original situation of completely blinding eyes.

So he made a very, very simple piece of content, and set the transmission frequency, encryption method, and encryption password by himself.

This very simple "123" password made everyone present look weird, even the two former civilizations were stunned for a moment before agreeing, and set the signal transmission program on the control panel.

"call……"

Looking at the huge sphere floating in the starry sky, Xia Lan scanned the huge land and the "mist" covering it, and let out a long breath.

"How is your research on Origin Stone?" He recovered and asked.

After sending the signal, the four researchers returned to their posts and worked on their affairs in full swing. Xia Lan saw all kinds of things that she couldn't understand at a glance, so she could only simply Take it literally.

They have basically been like this for the past ten days, and he can occasionally see them sitting together to discuss some research content and follow-up directions, but basically they are some proper nouns, Xia Lan understands a little, but I don't know much.

According to his own understanding, he probably has:

[-]. Decipher the internal law of the source stone, and carry out artificial craft reconstruction, and then achieve the artificial production of the source stone;
[-]. Strip off the self-proliferation of origin stones and domesticate them;

[-]. Use the "virtual soul" as the medium and the artificial composite material as the information carrier to manipulate the origin stone at the nanometer level.

Fourth, after the connection between the human soul and the origin stone is established, it is safely stripped by certain means.

Hearing Xia Lan's question, the four of them raised their heads to look at him at the same time, looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then Kaido gave an explanation:

"At present, we have been able to artificially reproduce the birth rules of Origin Stones and synthesize Origin Stones stably, but there are still many uncertainties about the connotation of those laws, and more time is needed.

In addition, we have located some nodes within the law and determined that they should be related to soul interaction. It is expected that the relevant translation work will be completed soon. Based on it, we can create a control system for the source stone, and the operation accuracy is still difficult to predict. .

In terms of the application of Originium, we have basically completed its conversion with other energies, and the conversion efficiency is 97%~61%. There is still room for optimization. After solving the control problem, it can be used on a large scale. "

After Xia Lan heard it, she said, "It seems that you don't have any bottlenecks."

"But in fact there are." Heimdall said, stopped his hands, and his eyes fell on Xia Lan.

Seeing them looking at her, Xia Lan paused and thought about it: "Let me think about it... I am afraid that simply controlling the Origin Stone cannot meet your needs, and use it to fight against 'it'."

"Then, does this require my strength?"

……

Xia Lan is very willing to do something if she can improve her understanding of herself and obtain higher levels of power.

But if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Things that power can bring may not necessarily develop as he expected—maybe it is a runaway, maybe it is a curse that simply brings fate, or it is a distortion of self-will ——So before gaining power, he often wants to know whether he is really worthy of that power.

So now, here's the opportunity.

Three hours later, in a huge vacuum and gravity-free spherical space, the sixteen paths stably stopped in the center of the ring in the air.

Xia Lan, who was wearing what looked like a spacesuit, floated in this gravity-free area, glanced over the rings, and landed on Skadi and the others standing outside the porthole, nodded slightly and said: "I'm ready gone."

Following the operation instructions, many rings began to swim and rotate like waves, enveloping Xia Lan in the center rhythmically.

Blue dragging traces escaped from the faster and faster circle, like watercolors sprinkled into water, gradually filling all the space around Xia Lan, gradually covering his vision.

It has a very romantic name - Dream Cradle.

And what lies in the cradle is the most authentic will and soul of human beings.

----

It's like stretching out your body in sea water, but it's different, where is the difference... Xia Lan can't tell.

Colorless and odorless, heartless and invisible.

But this status quo was quickly broken by Xia Lan who recovered.

Like water droplets falling on the water surface, ripples floated up, and after the ripples disappeared, there was already a hazy shadow under the empty water surface.

Gold, cyan, red, purple-gold... Layers of light are superimposed on the shadow, but it still does not prevent Xia Lan from seeing the clear white background.

--soul.

The pure white soul circulates peacefully, with an exquisite mechanical clock growing on it, and a silk thread fluttering far away.

The extended end of the thread got entangled in the clock, jamming its hands.

"If you can see and understand, you can... control it." He suddenly had that idea, raised his invisible hand, stroked the silk thread, and heard the echo from the other end.

"Is it such a high priority, so how did the soul link come about?"

Xia Lan murmured, recalling Hai Na's description of the Dreaming Cradle: a perfect space for self-examination that cannot be interfered by the outside world.

He tried to pull the silk thread hard, but nothing happened except that it hummed and trembled, so he tried to move his gaze along it to the boundary of consciousness.

On the surface of the water, he saw another soul staring blankly, as clear as a mirror and as hard as a diamond—that was Skadi.

"So it's not far away." He thought, looked back, and found that behind him was his own soul.

"So, it's not that we are connected over a long distance, but that we are posting all the time in another dimension?"

After showing a faint smile, Xia Lan returned to her side, preparing for the business of this trip.

The purpose of this time is not just to examine your own soul, but also to find some other information. Heimdall said that everyone will have endless soul information. A simple understanding is a series of four-dimensional endless "codes" .

And what he is looking for now is the "first" sixteen-digit code of this string of codes, which is also the precision limit that the previous civilization can reach.

Mastering the first sixteen codes can reproduce the foundation of a person's soul.

Just like drawing a picture, if you know these, you can know what color ratio, perspective effect, drafting method, and artistic style to use to draw a picture... It sounds like you don't know anything?
And if they want to completely reproduce Xia Lan's "original ability that can carry all known power", according to their estimates, they need to know at least the code that reaches the [-]th place - that is to say, even if they know it, they can't do it , this thing is probably directly in the field of theology.

Copy consciousness?The evaluation is as good as washing a soul and stuffing it with a pile of artificial memory, anyway, it's not bad.

After pondering for a while, Xia Lan pushed aside the mass of extraordinary power attached to her soul, read out sixteen four-dimensional coordinates and the code corresponding to each coordinate according to the rules they told, and after confirming that they were correct, she awakened own consciousness.

His soul disappeared in an instant, and in an instant that seemed like eternity, among the endless lights and shadows, Xia Lan opened his eyes.

Before he was reminiscing about the strange scene just now, he suddenly felt a hand slapping his face, and suddenly opened his eyes amidst the worrying call, scaring Skadi in front of him.

"What's wrong?" He immediately felt something was wrong, looking at Skadi's rosy eyes, he had a guess in his heart.

"you……"

"I've just been unconscious for longer than expected, and I can't wake up no matter how much I scream?" He sat up and asked.

Skadi, who was about to explain, nodded slightly, choked up and said, "I almost thought you had an accident...and you can't come back."

He shook his head slightly, stroked her hair, patted her back and said: "I'll go and write down the data first, since I'm all back, you can rest assured, can't you?"

He turned on the smart terminal, quickly wrote down the data, and then looked at where he and Skadi are now.
