Xiling Empire

After launching the garden of death, we did not return to Shadow City immediately, but stayed in Kailudak temporarily to learn from the "Parliament" about the current development of the exile fleet. (Following the novel to Ye · Yu ~ Yu M) I have to say that because of all kinds of busy affairs one after another, we do n’t pay enough attention to this new world, and we do n’t even know when they set up these colonies. Xing, this should not be something.

"Now more than half of the population lives in spaceships and planet fortresses." In the middle of the parliament building, there is a semi-circular platform that protrudes from the building's exterior wall. From this platform, we overlook the alien city below. Listen to " "The parliament" describes their recent developments. "On the one hand, the ecological environment is not stable enough to rashly close the fleet's ecosystem, and on the other hand, many people are really used to living on board ships. However, these colonies The construction progress of the star is still very fast. The universe is indeed rich in resources, and the various types of planets are a bit unbelievable from distribution to form to number ... and a complete all-star map prepared in advance And the list of world parameters, these conditions are simply too good. On most colonial stars, we only need to make a little ecological transformation, and then move down the industrial facilities on the spacecraft to modify it to live, those who are willing to come to the surface of the planet Resident citizens are very satisfied with this environment-this is the first time since they were born that they have spoken under the open sky Experience, we all feel very fresh. "

"Just be satisfied," Sandola smiled. "I first saw the universe with instructions. Feeling incredible?"

"... Yes, I was taken aback at that time," the expression on the "Council" was weird, "We thought we had just received a place of residence, but we did not expect to accidentally pull out a set of instructions for the universe, and even and also……"

"There are also quality inspection reports issued by three authoritative temples and consumer trustworthy product nameplates." I couldn't help but draw the words of the "cosmic instruction manual", "It is said that you also found the factory time stamp in the cosmic background radiation ... ... "

"Huh ... ah." The thinking polymer beside him agreed subtly. He stared at the distance in a daze.

Along the direction of her sight is the city center of Kailudak. In this city, which is almost entirely composed of Toberu-style "tower ball" buildings, one of the tallest buildings is completely different. Located on a high ground in the center of the city is an octahedral monument. The monument is thousands of meters high, and each face is engraved with many brilliant protagonist characters. From top to bottom are the trademark, the factory name, the factory location, the factory number, the inspector number, the consumer's trustworthy product honor mark, and the steel seal indicating the circulation permit, and inside this monument full of the above-mentioned dismal content. There is a small-scale crystal tower (not visible outside). The crystal tower stores an instruction manual with an amount of information up to several PB. This manual, labeled "Simplified Version", details all the fixed parameters of the entire universe and the data of all galaxies in the frozen state. Sincere thanks to the six sponsors ...

At first we didn't know that there was such a thing, or after delivering the universe to the fleet of exiles, the latter himself found that the operation of this world was very abnormal: all the celestial bodies were frozen, and after the fleet entered space It was found that the basic parameters of the surrounding environment could not be determined. [] Cosmic space is permeated with a light of unknown origin (actually holy light, and later they learned that these holy lights are similar to things like preservatives). They did not report the situation to the empire, but checked it themselves. The huge monument was found in the central region of the universe.

When the monument was first discovered, it was very large. The longest axis even reached millions of kilometers. The commanders of the exile fleet were extremely shocked at the sight of this huge, but not like normal celestial object, and finally notified us. Since the world is made by the Protoss, I decided to let the Protoss sliver quintet come to see the situation. Later, according to the judgment of the authoritative person Bingtis, she thought that to use the universe normally, first of all, the small green button at the top of the monument was needed Go on.

An ordinary soldier in the fleet of exiles who has been recorded in history is responsible for pressing that button, so all celestial bodies in the universe begin to operate normally-as if the paused video screen suddenly resumed playing, the diffuse, as The holy light of preservatives also began to dissipate and merge into the background radiation. The millions of kilometers long monument became a shortened version of several kilometers long. Then Bettis found the universe's instruction manual from the monument and delivered it to " Parliament ".

This is a little "interlude" that happened before the exile fleet built their new home.

To be honest, I really did not expect that some of the worlds made by the Protoss turned out to have instructions and start buttons!

Later, after asking about Bingtis, I figured out what was going on: Wasn't this universe sent by Monica when she bought furniture? Therefore, although it is a disappointing second-hand goods, it is also a circulating commodity produced by the official shrine of the Divine Realm. Naturally, it is different from those in the world without a certificate, a license, and an uncertain life. . And because the world itself is something that will evolve over time, after being used as goods or gifts, they must be "stagnant". The processing method is to suspend the entire world and be opened by the user after the buyer receives the goods. This can effectively prevent a world that is stagnant for tens of billions of years from depreciating due to the expiration of its shelf life (is there anything really hard to this extent?). As for the opening method, there is a small green button in the center of the universe. Of course, there are some models that enter a set of activation codes. The other world of Ding Dong Management is started with activation codes, but it is said that things that use activation codes are very It is easy to be pirated, but it is safer to use a small green button: this is called physical encryption.

The above is what Bingtis explained to us.

On that day Monina was busy planning how to furnish her new furniture. She forgot to tell us these things ...

Looking at the towering white monument in the center of the city, a few of us revealed a neat and smirk from the lungs: "Hehe, hehehe ..." These meaningless things studied by the gods in their infinite life Eggs hurt stuff, we're not surprised now. [Ye Zi] [Yu * You] Of course, it may take a long time for the "Parliament" to adapt to the universe in which they live. Even the background radiation contains the status quo of trademarks and bar codes.

"Before that, we have never touched the Star Protoss in your mouth," for a moment, the "Parliament" suddenly spoke. "Faith in gods is something we have long remembered. Many races, after jumping out of their universe and discovering countless worlds in the void, will give up the religions and gods they have seen in the course of civilization, but I didn't expect that there really is a race called the 'gods.' Countless worlds are created and managed. "

"We checked the information and found that the fleet of exiles came from the most remote areas of the void. That was where the Star Protoss had not been involved. So you don't know they were normal." Sandora said casually, then looked at the city In the distance, he was suddenly surprised, "What's going on? The buildings are leaving their base?"

I immediately looked in the direction of Sandola's finger www.7ket, and found a spectacular scene in the distance: hundreds of Toberuta ball buildings were shaking slightly, the swollen spheres at the top and the slender connection towers below were one by one Disconnected, and then those huge spheres (that is, the main body of the building) began to slowly lift off. The shell of the lower part of them has disappeared somehow, revealing a complex structure flashing green. As these spheres gradually rise to high altitudes, new and smaller connection towers slowly protrude from the exposed green cores. It's as if the living seeds are gradually growing roots. A low, regular roar came from a distance, as if tens of thousands of tons of giant ships were honing. Subsequently, the swollen giant spheres began to fly towards the east.

"There ... and there, everywhere!" The elder sister's tone pointed with surprise, pointing back and forth in every direction. There are countless "towerball buildings" on the periphery of the city that are undergoing the same change: separation from the base, Then the giant ball at the top slowly drifted in all directions. They are so huge, so many, it's almost as if the whole city has become a dandelion and is drifting with the wind. This scene reminds me of the shape of these buildings: like spores fluttering in the wind.

"Today is a day of proliferation. The city is big enough to spread."

"Council" sounded behind us with joy, and I heard the word again: proliferation. Jin mentioned the word before the crowd before, but I didn't have time to ask him what it meant at that time, and now, everyone saw the spectacular scene when the "diffusion" happened, and instantly understood what it meant.

"The Toberu Zerg increase their cities in this way," and when no more tower buildings were seen in the air, the "Council" looked back and explained to us, "All these buildings can Copy and continue to grow, although they are made of metal, they are like life. This is why we finally chose to use the technology of the Toberu Zerg to build the first colony star-in fact, monolithic surface construction technology And ecological livable technology, Osa people are more advanced than the Toberu Zerg, but the construction efficiency of Osa technology is far less than these living towers, and what we need most now is building efficiency. So many colony stars have been transformed in a few months (the exile fleet now certainly has more than one Kerudak colony star, in fact they have extensively emigrated in several nearby galaxies), Toberu ’s Technology has played a big role. "

The "Parliament" also told us some ideas for her future: when the ecological problem is resolved and the citizens no longer need to be squeezed into the aging spaceship, she will proceed to gradually restore the civilization of each member of the Fourth Fleet, according to The saved information, she wants to rebuild those cities, restore the culture of that year, and tell the newborns the history of their ancestors. What she expected to see was more than just relocating to life under the vast sky. She wanted to see those cities in her memory reappear on the horizon.

Even this project can take hundreds of years.

"But I think your work may encounter many problems, and even resistance from the Fourth Fleet citizens." Standing on the city's second-highest viewing platform. Sandora looked at the bare connection towers on the horizon and made her own evaluation of the idea of ​​"Parliament." "A lot of people may not understand your ideas. As far as I know, the Fourth Fleet is now 9% More than ten citizens are the new generation, and even some are mixed races that were newly generated during the exile of the Fourth Fleet. For tens of thousands of years, how many of the first set of people have survived to the present? How many do you think today? Will these new citizens who have almost nothing to do with the original know the mother star? What's more, for those races that have become extinct on the way to exile. How do you restore them? "

A few words from Sandora pointed out the most important point: the race of the members of the Fourth Fleet has changed in tens of thousands of years in exile. From sailing to the present, many races have been hunted down to extinction. Some The members merged with other races, and some races were reborn in mid-exile. In the end, this race can be called a spaceship civilization. They have lived in closed, obsolete metal cabins since the first generation. in. The story about the planet and the blue sky means nothing to them. Even now, this part of the spaceship race remains in their old cabins. Colonial stars' living conditions are not yet up to par. Part of the reason is that they simply cannot imagine leaving the ship. What it feels like to live on a stone ball drifting in space: they find it very unreliable.

With the status quo of the members of the Fourth Fleet, the idea of ​​"Parliament" is somewhat wishful thinking.

"You are one of the only crew members that have survived since the beginning of the fleet. I understand your mood, but to be honest, it is better to let everything go. Let the survivors of the Fourth Fleet choose their own path. Re-developed their own new civilization. As for history ... just keep in mind. Too persistent is always worthless. "Sandora looked at the eyes of the" Council "with a low voice.

The "Parliament" was a little dazed. For a moment she couldn't figure out why a spirit emperor would show such a somber expression, but she thought about what happened to the spirit empire. The look changed instantaneously.

"I ... understand this, you're right, but I just can't let it go," the "Council" looked dim, and whispered, "the old friends who set sail together were almost gone, and I always felt like myself What should be done for them ... When hunted down by the fallen apostles, those unfortunately left behind will always send back their civilization database as soon as possible. Later, we even counted the civilization history of all races in the entire fleet. , Established a huge library, no matter who died, I hope this huge library can stay forever ... "

"There is such a thing in the capital of the new empire, but the more important building is the totem square to commemorate the new history. Compared to the obsession with rebuilding the ruins of the year, we think it is more meaningful to commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed to open up new history. "Sandora said," The Apostle of the Spirit is a race that does not look back. If you want to continue in the cruel void, it is best to learn not to look back. Of course, remembering that history is still important, and ... If you don't mind, I hope to integrate your 'giant library' with our various memorial databases-of course, I'm talking about reproductions. "

"Merge the fourth fleet's huge library with the empire's database?" The "Parliament" suddenly opened his eyes in shock.

"An empire has a famous saying: black history is history," Sandora said, and glanced at me. "Chen Jun, the new empire is three years and five years old, and it is in the capital. So we are willing to look directly at any history, even if It was the most disgraceful moment. "

Me: "..." Am I finally being shot by Sandora's weird hobby?

"Well, I will discuss this with other senior officials," the "Parliament" regained his composure and nodded. "It may take some time to decide. You know, this is not the case with the current Fourth Fleet. It will have too much practical impact, but it is symbolic. "

Since the network components on this side need to be checked at any time, when leaving the world of the exile, we left the bubble and promised to come and see her as soon as possible. However, the latter does not seem to have any opinion. It is estimated that for her, as long as she can play games online at any time, the world is good enough. The "Parliament" promised to take good care of the "important minister" of the empire, and I can only reluctantly promise that the "important minister" will not find trouble in a short period of time. —Otherwise the dead housewife would never take care of herself.

And when we returned to Shadow City, we were not idle ~ www.readwn.com ~ We immediately found a large group of experts and began to study non-stop a small piece of information we copied from the "Parliament"-that was the fourth fleet Arrived, the help signal from the Fifth Fleet.

Although the scientists at Toberu have failed to analyze too many valuable things from these severely distorted signals, I think that the spirit of the Schilling scientists should be able to repair it more clearly, at least ...

We need to know who is hunting down the Fifth Fleet.

In this period of only tens of seconds, a word of extreme concern appeared in the distress message: Empire, and in the fleet of exiles, the word "empire" refers only to the Spirit Empire. But judging from the context of the entire message, it feels as if the Fifth Fleet was not attacked by the emperor, and this is the biggest mystery.

And another mystery is-how did the Fifth Fleet pass such a weak message in the deepest void of the void that even the Empire could not reach? RQ
