The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Chapter 488 Harvest, Tasks, Discovery (5k)

Dozens of kilometers away, Zhao Qing, who was connected to the flying sword's perception, was thinking about something. Regarding this so-called "Abyss of Chaos", there was no obvious record in the database of Solomon's Temple. It was probably stored in isolation using paper materials.

However, the encrypted message that the other party had just sent to the Freemasons had a backup record, which she quickly read out:

Chaos, the first god of chaos in ancient Greek mythology, represents the rift between heaven and earth. Khaos originally means "void, crack". Obviously, the "Abyss of Chaos" refers to the Nibelungen space opened up by the ancient dragon, and it is an extremely ancient one.

According to the research of the Templars, these Nibelungen Groups, which may number as many as hundreds, are connected to each other by spatial rifts and often appear to be mirror-reflected. They are mainly distributed in the North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and Greenland Sea, forming a strange spatial grid.

At present, the locations of all the discovered entrances to the Nibelungen have been marked on a three-dimensional topographic map - because most of the Nibelungen are underground and deep in the sea, with extremely strange height differences.

"In the beginning, darkness was covered by darkness, and there was no discernment or knowledge. The vastness was all water." "Genesis" in the Old Testament: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. The Spirit of God was moving over the face of the water."

In the relevant research of the Templar Society, the Orphic religion of ancient Greece has a deep inheritance connection with ancient Egypt, and the mythological description of the dragon civilization is particularly true. They revere Chronos, the eternal god of time, as "Taiyi", believing him to be the origin of everything and the first cause.

In the origin myth, the invisible Chronos descended in the form of a dragon and left three descendants: Aether, who symbolizes the ether, then Chaos, the boundless chaos, and Phanes, who was born from the egg of the sacred ether and symbolized the beginning of order and time.

When Phanes was born from the egg, he tore apart the infinite chaos of the original world. When Phanes appeared, everything appeared. He was the lord of all things, hermaphrodite, with thousands of forms, and gave birth to the first generation of gods.

Different from the mainstream ancient Greek mythology, Phanes is the creator god of Orphicism. According to the research of the Society of the Temple, he is the same god as the God in Christianity and has the characteristics of a trinity. In the dragon civilization, he is equivalent to the Black King Nidhogg.

Therefore, after combining a lot of information from dragon relics, the Temple inferred that there were as many as three "zero-generation species" of the level of Nidhoggr, and Chronos was essentially just a symbolic existence, believed to be in dragon form, just as humans often describe their gods as human form.

Precisely because they believed that the First Cause was greater than God and secretly promoted Platonism and Hermeticism, the Knights Templar were considered an evil heretic, suffered brutal purges, and were unable to recover for a long time until modern times.

It has to be said that through extensive research on the Nibelungen region, the Templar Order has also achieved many valuable results.

The "Allegory of the Cave" proposed by Plato in "The Republic" describes that the prisoners can only see the image of firelight reflected on the wall. Their world is limited to a small cave and they cannot directly perceive the reality of the outside world.

Scholars of the Order of the Templars applied this allegory to the Nibelungen in the “Abyss of Chaos” series, arguing that these mirror worlds are not only reflections of physical space, but also reflections of the mind and consciousness levels. Each world carries different truths and illusions, waiting to be revealed and understood by explorers.

In addition, they also discovered that certain special Nibelungen marks can be passed down from generation to generation as blood marks, and that the marks can be used interchangeably among multiple similar Nibelungenen.

In other words, the hundreds of Nibelungs in the "Abyss of Chaos" were most likely opened up by a dragon, or were specially modified by him. Obviously, this dragon's alchemical attainments were incredibly high, and it was worthy of being a suspected "zero-generation" level existence.

More importantly, these Nibelungen entry and exit marks are all in the shape of half-dry and slightly bent branches, which look like a small part of the half-rotten world tree, or potential material of "Kungunir". It is hard to say that this has nothing to do with "Odin".

According to the explanation of the Order of the Temple, the first few poor knights were branded after being tested at the ruins of King Solomon's Temple. From then on, they had the "divine power" to summon the power of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse with their spirits. They then further searched for the "Holy Grail" and developed the technology to breed dragons.

These dragons that serve as mounts are actually "cherubim". In Jewish and Christian legends, they are angels that guard sacred places and often accompany gods. Their brains have been specially modified so that they will only obey the orders of their riders.

……

Of course, the above are just routine discoveries, not rigorous scientific research. What is truly valuable is the direct investigation and various complex tests conducted by the Temple on the Nibelungen Space, as well as hundreds of reports.

Although people around with a mark can follow when entering, returning requires meeting specific conditions, otherwise even the marked reporter may not be able to return. However, many detection instruments, including gravity gradiometers, high-precision frequency-stabilized lasers, and cesium atomic clocks, have been riskily sent in.

The measurement results of these instruments show that in some special areas of Nibelung, gravity is abnormal, but no matter where it is, the speed of light remains at a normal value and has not changed.

When reading these research topics based on the theoretical framework of high-dimensional manifolds, Zhao Qing could not help but feel amazed. She found that these research materials coincided with her own thoughts in many aspects, as if there was some kind of wonderful resonance between them.

These studies not only touched upon the essence of space, but also, with precise mathematical language, outlined a magnificent picture of the changes in spatial levels, which deepened her understanding of the Nibelung.

Speaking of which, as far as she knew, in the dragon world, in addition to the development of applied technology, such as controlled nuclear fusion which had been initially mastered by the Soviet Union, there were actually many major breakthroughs in the field of pure theory that were far ahead of their time.

For example, the famous Goldbach conjecture has puzzled mankind for centuries, but it was solved a few years ago by a scholar who kept his name hidden. The paper was made public and received unanimous recognition from the academic community. Judging from many signs, this person is highly suspected to be the elder of the secret party known as "King Solomon".

In general, the large amount of research data on the various Nibelungs here obtained during this period was undoubtedly a good gain, which helped her understand their structure and deep principles, and thus learn how to open up and maintain the Nibelungs.

It is conceivable that the Templar Order's deep insights into this are probably related to the technology that allows them to merge with dragons and increase their spiritual perception. Similarly, thanks to the dual perspectives of dragons and humans, they also have amazing insights into the mysterious energy of "elements".

From the perspective of pure-blooded dragons, the distinction between the four elements is essentially the different bands of the vital energy of heaven and earth in spiritual induction. Just like visible light has seven colors, the elements have four "colors": red fire, blue water, black earth, and white wind.

This is actually quite different from the division of the Five Elements and Four Symbols based on the properties of yin and yang, but in essence, they all refer to a large class of invisible and colorless "gases" that permeate the entire earth's space and cannot be observed by ordinary people's naked eyes under normal circumstances. They contain huge energy.

By analyzing these phenomena related to the elements, the scholars of the Order of the Temple easily summarized their several basic properties: they cannot be detected by electromagnetic waves, their properties are quite stable, they are widely distributed and have roughly uniform density, and they usually move slowly, so their mass is not zero.

Therefore, scholars can't help but put forward a bold hypothesis: the four elements may be a certain form of dark matter in the observable universe. At least they meet many characteristics of dark matter and can be classified as part of the general dark matter.

It is known that dark matter is concentrated in galaxies and galaxy clusters and, like conventional matter, interacts with other matter through gravity, although no interactions other than gravity have been discovered so far.

In the standard cosmological model ΛCDM, dark matter makes up about 27% of the universe. Although scientists have made many efforts to explore dark matter, they still have no way to grasp this mysterious substance that is all around us and even floats in our bodies.

If the four elements, that is, the vital energy of heaven and earth, are the so-called dark matter, this will undoubtedly enable mankind to make great progress in basic physics and cosmology, and solve a series of difficult problems that have plagued the academic community for decades.

However, according to existing estimates of dark matter density - inside galaxies, there is usually only 10^-21kg per cubic meter. The total amount of dark matter in an area the size of the entire Earth is only a few kilograms.

If the four elements within the Word Spirit's domain are regarded as its energy source, even if all the dark matter particles in this space are converted into mass-energy, it will not be enough to support the huge consumption of a high-level Word Spirit.

The elemental flash-melting reaction of Rhine, the god-level word spirit of sequence number 112, released several orders of magnitude more energy than ordinary word spirits. This undoubtedly posed a severe challenge to the assumption that the four elements were equivalent to dark matter, and it was full of loopholes that could be easily broken.

In addition, many words released through the medium of wind and fire elements will participate in electromagnetic interactions, which is different from the dark matter generally known. The "notorious" elemental turbulence phenomenon will interfere with a wide range of electronic equipment and is difficult to explain with conventional theories.

However, since there is no "reasonable" hypothesis other than dark matter to explain the existence of the four elements, several secret organizations, including the Templar, have also put forward multiple hypotheses in related research, trying to make up for the deviation between theory and reality.

Some people believe that the reason why the four elements and the Word Spirits can exhibit energy release beyond the norm is that they can fine-tune the physical parameters of nature in a unique way, thereby drawing energy from the basic structure of the universe.

This ability may be a manifestation of dark matter at the microscopic level, involving quantum fluctuations and vacuum zero-point energy, and even deeper unknowable things, but it is displayed by the four elements in a more intuitive and controllable way.

As far as Zhao Qing knows, the inner world constructed by the Six Qi Realms will indeed produce a similar constant potential energy as the external world. It is not impossible that ordinary heaven and earth vital energy also contains this energy. It’s just that the former belongs to the macro level, while the latter is limited to the micro level.

There are actually many precedents for lower-level things to have some of the characteristics of higher-level things. For example, chemical reactions actually lead to the same changes in mass and energy as nuclear reactions, but the degree of change is so small that it can be ignored.

Another view is that the sun is the key to this energy cycle, and that the extra energy in the process of releasing the Word Spirit comes from the supplement of solar radiation, which is a part of the energy flow in the universe. It is equivalent to constantly heating the originally "cold and frozen" elements to continuously thaw and recharge them, and the frequency and amplitude of vibration gradually increase, thus showing that the four elements in the atmosphere are far more active than in space.

This hypothesis does not conform to Zhao Qing's experience of wandering in space in the previous world, but the rules of two different universes may not be the same. For example, the Dragon World does not have the outer layer of void like the Huang Yi World, and naturally there is no void energy filling it.

In addition, some scholars have suggested that the dark matter density in the solar system and even the area where the earth is located may be much higher than that in ordinary interstellar space, and perhaps this area has a nearly overlapping dark matter cluster.

They speculate that there is an inevitable connection between this high-density dark matter environment, the abundance and distribution of the five major elements, and the emergence and development of intelligent life, and even the formation of the solar system may be the result of the deep involvement of this cluster.

There are also some viewpoints, such as that dark matter mainly exists in extra dimensions, that the propagation of gravity is limited, and that the real mass is far more than five times that of "bright matter"; for example, there is a dark force empowering field permeating space, which can temporarily borrow and repay the energy of the Word Spirit;

What kind of filamentary dark matter formed a giant web measured in light years, and the words spirit utilized its "elastic potential energy"; what kind of dark matter exists on the virtual time axis, releasing energy through the transformation of the virtual and real space-time, etc., I will not list them one by one.

As to why the four elements can participate in electromagnetic interactions under the interference of dragon-related forces, there are many different opinions.

It is generally believed that the most promising candidate for dark matter, weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), would never exhibit such properties.

Therefore, answers must be sought from other hypotheses about slow-speed dark matter - even though, in 2004, the existence of dark matter had not yet been truly confirmed.

Currently, scholars related to the Temple are trying to use a newly created and imperfect "ether field" theory to describe the interaction between the four elements and real matter - the "ether" here is almost the same thing as the spiritual element.

Of course, Solomon's Temple mainly engages in the research of life sciences as its main business, and does not attach much importance to this series of topics. However, after all, with the participation of dragons, it is undoubtedly very valuable, which made Zhao Qing think of a lot of things at once.

In her opinion, these hypotheses all have their own merits, and it would not be surprising if all of them were true at the same time.

……

"It's finally here." After collecting and sorting out information from all parties on the Internet, Zhao Qing's "Fire Phoenix" finally arrived at the Temple Headquarters and stopped on the hillside outside, resting quietly aside. The fiery red fire feathers flying in all directions seemed to have set half the sky on fire.

In the ammunition depot, the countdown of dozens of nuclear bombs came to an abrupt halt due to Zhao Qing's intervention, thus avoiding possible catastrophic consequences. Inside the base, the broadcasting system was playing words of persuasion to surrender in a loop, and the air was filled with a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.

Those low-level members who once worked for the Temple gradually gave up resistance in despair and confusion, and walked out of the exit facing Zhao Qing as instructed. There was both fear and relief in their eyes.

Perhaps it was because the "Cherubim" had a special connection with the Nibelung here, so there was no need to open a special entrance. All the domesticated dragons here had "disappeared out of thin air" before she arrived, without a single one left.

When Zhao Qing counted the approximate harvest, he found only tons of dragon scales and dragon blood neatly stored in special containers, sparkling with a mysterious and alluring luster, but there were only a few rarer parts such as dragon bones and dragon horns.

Only low-level materials such as Deadpool scales were everywhere, and there were thousands of prepared sets of Deadpool scale armor nearby.

Obviously, the Temple has stricter control and utilization of those more precious materials, and has already used them to make the most advanced alchemical items, or transferred them in advance and hidden in deeper secret places.

In addition to these, Zhao Qing also discovered many alchemical weapons and magical instruments, but none of them could be considered top-notch. According to the secret party's rating, they were probably ranging from B- to A+, and could not be compared with the previous ancient bronze bell.

Among the many harvests, the gold bricks piled up like hills were undoubtedly the most eye-catching. The dazzling light almost made people unable to open their eyes. According to Zhao Qing's estimation, there were at least more than 100 tons of gold reserves.

This not only represents the Temple's strong financial resources, but also represents the tip of the iceberg of the huge network of interests behind it.

It may be entangled with the smoke of arms trade, the wailing of human trafficking, the ethical degradation behind surrogacy, and even the bloody chain of organ trading. Behind every gold brick, there may be countless unknown crimes and tears that need to be further investigated.

However, Zhao Qing was not surprised at all about the "evil nature" of such secret organizations. She even felt that it was normal. After all, as the incarnation of "strong artificial intelligence", she had already seen countless ugly things when searching for information on the Internet.

In her opinion, hidden beneath the bright and beautiful appearance of society are countless heinous crimes, which are corroding the foundations of society like termites, making justice and light seem so fragile and precious.

Zhao Qing thought to himself that there were probably tens of millions of criminals who should be severely punished by law, or even immediately deprived of their lives to appease public anger. Their existence was a great irony and challenge to human civilization.

On the other hand, the Templar organization, to some extent, still retains some of the "ethics" of the knights. Although they are extremely indifferent to life, they adhere to certain unknown principles and bottom lines. There are many people who are more evil and perverted than them.

Like the Secret Party and Kassel Academy, although they are powerful, they are always doing "good things" and carrying out activities such as slaying dragons and eliminating Deadpool. Although they were not well-received by Zhao Qing before because of their excessive selfishness and their attitude of putting half-bloods above ordinary people.

But with the contrast of various evil organizations, even if the secret party cannot be called a true moral model, it is not far from it.

Continuing to go deeper into the underground base, rows of incubators and hibernation chambers come into view. They are densely arranged and connected to an intricate system of nutrient pipes, forming a huge life support area.

Some incubators are empty, with only a thin layer of culture fluid gently rippling in the faint light; while others are nurturing cloned human embryos, growing in various shapes, which are undoubtedly the result of genetic modification, heralding unknown potential and threats.

Inside the hibernation chamber, a dozen old men who looked like high-ranking members of the Temple lay quietly. Perhaps they had once been prominent figures in the Temple, but now they were abandoned by their companions because they were far away from the center of power. They became passers-by forgotten by time, and their fate hung in the balance.

According to the information Zhao Qinggang had retrieved, the Temple's cloning "factories" were mainly located in India, and involved experimental cooperation with other forces. A secret organization called the "Holy Palace Medical Society" that appeared repeatedly in the intelligence seemed to be the promoter and leader of these two technologies.

Then she went deeper and opened a series of magic mechanical gates. She finally came to the lowest level which was level with the command room. She sensed that there seemed to be a huge secret room more than a hundred meters away on the left side of the passage. There was no path to enter. It should be the result of being cast and sealed directly after it was built.

He casually slashed out a few sword energies and opened up a small path. Zhao Qing looked inside, his eyes fixed on a huge bronze pillar that was five or six meters thick and unknown length, and penetrated deep into the ground. He carefully examined the countless ancient dragon characters engraved on it.

"The copper pillar that mysteriously disappeared during the Greenland Ice Sea incident?"

She quickly noticed that in front of the giant pillar that was shining with golden light but had some broken and gapped parts, there was a metal plate that looked like it was marked with information. It clearly stated the longitude and latitude and depth when it was discovered, as well as the year 2001, and even the name of the ancient dragon city to which it belonged.

As one of the largest hybrid organizations closest to the Greenland Sea, it is actually quite reasonable for the Temple to obtain the record column in the dragon ruins before the Secret Party under the premise of cooperating with the "Prince".

In the open space near the giant bronze pillar, there is another metal plate of similar specifications, but there are no matching hidden objects around it, most likely it had already been taken away.

On this metal plate, it says Excalibur, which is the sword of the king that King Arthur obtained from the Lady of the Lake. The year is unclear because it is too old, and only the location mark "Avalon" on the side can be roughly seen.

Although this holy sword, which is suspected to be the sword of promised victory in Norse mythology, has disappeared, considering the relationship between King Arthur, Avalon, and Odin, it is normal that there are a number of Nibelungs in the British area that can be connected to the island of Avalon near the Arctic.

In fact, the Soviet Union is indeed in the leading position in controlled nuclear fusion. Once the material problem is solved, it can almost be realized:
The word tokamak was first proposed by the Tuchatov Institute in Moscow, the Soviet Union in 1957. Compared with other magnetic confinement controlled nuclear fusion methods, the dominant position of tokamak was established from the experimental results of the Soviet Union's T-1968 tokamak in 3. This was a major breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion research and set off a tokamak craze internationally. Various countries have successively built or rebuilt a number of large tokamak devices.
