Xiling Empire

"Oh, your welcome ceremony is quite grand."

Seeing the outer space scene shown on the holographic screen, Abyss Spirit said in an indifferent manner, "It's just a communicator. Is it such a big move?"

The garrison troops at the deep diving port have all gathered above the gate of the abyss. The main guns of all battleships have locked the deep submersibles that are slowly floating out of the gate of the abyss. In this scene, you can think of standing in the center of the square. Unlucky, and anti-tank guns lined up around the square-basically this rhythm.

I did n’t expect that the scale of the battle of Sandorah would be so large, but I could n’t help but hear the words of Abyss: “It ’s you, after all, the main gun in the outside circle means that you ’re in The weight in the eyes of the new empire. "

"Should I be proud of the number of these cannons?" Abyss Xi Ling looked at me with a smile.

Under the guidance of the navigation signals and the "welcome to the channel" of countless main guns, the deep submarine vessel approached the star port, and was then firmly locked by the port's fixed force field. A broadcast from the ship's host computer was transmitted from Gnacu to notify all channels Opening, I looked at Abyss Spirit: "Can you walk by yourself? Do you want me to push this big box to send you out?"

"Although I really want to nod, you are definitely not happy," Abyss Sherling shrugged, and then the black metal box beside her slowly floated up. The box rose about ten centimeters high, and a side popped up. The shape of the handle was simple, and then I watched Abyss Healing pushing his box forward, "Fortunately, a small function was designed at the time, and basic movement was still possible."

I was stunned: "..."

Now it can be understood why the abyss Schilling said before that he "cannot move." And asked us to help "move" her into the deep dive boat, and dared to love the high-end way of moving this black box-it was a full manual stepless speed change cart!

I don't know what the expression on my face looks like when I come out of the deep dive boat, it must be particularly stiff anyway, this guy beside me does not follow the routine!

Sandora and Harlan and a large group of port guards were already guarding the exit of the connecting channel. As soon as the door was opened, I first showed them a smile as normal as possible: I couldn't let others see that I had been made by the abyss. Three views are unstable.

Sandora and Harlan walked in two steps and came to me. The eyes of the two were placed on the black box. Sandora was curious: "This box is ... Abyss?"

"I'm here." Abyss Helling turned away from behind the box. "I should just pull out the box just now so you can see me first. Well, this is a place that needs improvement."

The astonishment on Sandora's face was not mentioned. The moment Haran saw the abyss, the expression on his face was richer than anyone else. He looked at his former boss and opened his mouth for a long time before finally extruding a sentence: "Are you here?"

"Yes, here I am."

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I have come ..."

Before these two are finished, I quickly interrupted and interrupted: "Stop and stop! The style is not right ..."

Abyss Xi Ling glanced at me inexplicably, but she didn't think there was any immediate sense of the dialogue just now. Then she looked at Harlan up and down: "Well, it looks like you're doing well here. Although my chance of survival is indeed not low in my initial calculations, I didn't expect you to survive so smoothly."

"Sure enough, are you calculated?" Haran stared at the Abyss Spirit with a burning gaze. He and his entire army were "sold" to the new empire by the Abyss Spirit. The uncle said nothing. . But when he saw the former boss who sold himself decisively again, he must have felt a lot of emotion, and this time he finally had the opportunity to ask some things in person, "In fact, I have never thought about something ... You talk directly to the void creature You need to abandon some nodes to serve as a buffer, which is not a problem, but you can give up some insignificant nodes, such as a group of war puppets. After all, as long as there is a number of buffers, you can choose to give up a complete The prepared warlord ... This cost is a little incredible to me, even if I occasionally contradict your order but not so suspicious, you know that I left the abyss with a complete industrial production chain , Is this your calculation? "

"Everything is in the calculation," Abyss Spirit nodded, and then looked around. "The atmosphere here is not very good, and now it's not about these details, I want to find a place to talk quietly, Sando Pull, I think you should be ready, right? "

"Of course," Sandora said without saying a word, turned around and walked to the superior control area of ​​Starport. "I'm ready to meet the living room-for now, treat you as a visitor for the time being."

I sneaked into Harlan's arm while I was at this time: "What's it like seeing my former boss?"

"It's complicated," Harlan's voice sounded tangled. "Actually, I haven't seen her before. You know, 'the Lord' has never been seen in the Fallen Apostles camp. She For us, it is basically equivalent to the command clauses that appear on the Internet at any time and must be executed. It has always been an abstract symbol. Now that I see a real person, I have no way to associate her with 'that adult'. How does it feel? What a strange thought. "

"Understandable," I drew, and "the" alien "in my mind five years ago was nothing more than a symbol. You see how specific the word is now for me."

Harlan couldn't keep up with my rhythm of speaking again as usual, and could only start another topic. He looked at the abyss spirit walking next to Sandora, and the big box dragged by the abyss spirit: "This box What is it?"

"I don't know, it's probably her body. She said it was a communicator made with some new technology. Probably because of this box, she can talk to me directly without worrying about being purified by the power of the void."

Our group of four (Abyss Spirit can be regarded as "people", right?) Soon came to the "reception room" prepared by Sandora, this is a small room located in the control center of Star Harbor, the style of the room is simple. There are no furnishings, and special arrangements have been made. As soon as Abyss comes in, he finds the special place of this room: "There are so many monitors in this place, do you worry that I will not pollute your network?"

Sandora sits at the only round table in the center of the room, and smiles toward the abyss, Spirit: "Yeah, we just don't trust you, with the current camp relationship. This should not be excessive."

Abyss Soul sits opposite us, with her big box beside her. The expression on her face has not changed from beginning to end, always with a kind of indifferent smile, even if Sandora is so straightforward The words did not make her show the slightest emotional fluctuations: "I know. But at least I can assure you one thing: everything I say here today is 100% true, and you don't have to worry about any loss. Now I want to first Confirm a few things, you can answer them or not, but you should not have to hide these questions. First: How much do you know about the Great Cataclysm in the Void? "

I looked at Sandora and felt that there was really no need to conceal this issue. Abyss, Spirit who knew about the Great Cataclysm in the Void, was probably no less aware than the Empire. So I coughed dryly: "Just started, it can be said that it is still in a state of fog. We can only be sure that there is such a thing and what will happen after it happens. But the cause of it is completely unknown."

"Well, as I expected. Then the second point: Do you have a more stable way of contact with the civilization on the other side?"

"Nothing at all," Sandora said this time. "Looks like you're trying to solve this problem?"

"Indeed," Abyss Hilling nodded happily, "We are looking for ways to establish a stable relationship with the other side. There is no progress yet, but I want to go deeper than you at least: I have the old empire period. Some information, and something floating from the other bank ... Well, you have now seen the largest pile of wrecks. Then the third and final question: if there is a way to permanently lower the abyss of the void Are you interested in the frequency and harmfulness of the phenomenon? "

Sandola's eyes narrowed suddenly: "This is what you say you want to cooperate with?"

The abyss Xi Ling smiled even more brilliantly: "Yes. After completing my great cause, the order in the void will be improved as a whole. This is a very attractive chip for you. I am here to talk about this. Good Now, I have probably learned some real-world negotiation rules. I should show my sincerity to you before formal discussions, so now is your question time. What do you want to know about the cause and bridging? Ask. Of course, some other things are also possible. Anyway, I plan to move to this step, and I don't have much to hide from you. "

Until now I still feel that the sudden appearance of Abyss Spirit is a bit unrealistic, and I think her actions seem too abrupt, but it is already a fact that the other person is sitting here anyway, it would be better to take this opportunity to learn more about her plan. I sorted out my thoughts and tried to find a breakthrough that could open the topic, but when I really wanted to do this, I found that I couldn't say: tons of questions piled up and disturbed me. I didn't even know how to ask Where to start!

Abyss Xi Ling looked at this with a smile: "I feel like I can't speak? In fact, I also have this feeling. There are too many things to say but I don't know what to say ... Well, just follow my rhythm. Let me explain everything from the very beginning. Sandora Kelly Urassis, do you know the beginning of the collapse of the end of the empire? "

Sandora frowned. "You mean those x projects that study the nature of the void?"

"Although that's not the beginning of everything, if you want to understand everything, it's really faster to talk about it from then on," Abyss Xi Ling breathed out humanely, as if she needs to breathe as a projection "In the initial period, Project X was really just some research activities with enthusiasm: the laws of the operation of the void, artificial control and even the creation of the void, trying to build equipment that can directly use the void as the energy source, and even inventing experimental devices that did not consider the laws of reality at all. , Most of the projects in the entire x plan are indeed such a brainstorming idea, and no matter which one is successful enough to promote history, but even the experiment that eventually led to the collapse of the empire is actually not a big deal to me- At least compared to what I'm about to say, it's not enough. "

I noticed that Haran and Sandora's eyes changed. Obviously, the speech that said "the accident that caused the collapse of the empire was not a big deal" was so shocking that Abyss Helio successfully summoned everyone's curiosity at the scene.

"Among the many projects in which Plan X is in full swing, 'Deep Dive' was only the most inconspicuous one at first," Abyss Hillington paused before continuing. "Compared to the study of the origin of the void, throwing a few into the abyss door Obviously, the detector or a spacecraft going in a circle is not shocking enough, but one researcher was fascinated by it. That is Occam. "

He was one of the best researchers in the old empire, and he specializes in the abyss ... well, we can talk about these introductions later. In short, he designed and built the first deep submersible ship, and it took a long time. Time to perfect it. It was also the first time he had sailed a ship near the critical surface of the bottom of the abyss, confirming the existence of 'on-shore civilization'. "

But his research did not continue, you know what happened: the unlucky Occam met the onslaught of Destruction Legion, the only deep dive ship was destroyed by the Destruction Legion, and until the empire collapsed, Occa Nothing was able to rebuild it. "

The deep dive plan was stopped. And soon the attention of most researchers was attracted to something more seductive: At that time, a study on the void had just made a breakthrough, and many people thought that it would make the power of the empire leap forward. On the contrary, the civilization detected at the bottom of the abyss was quickly left unattended. Occam is still following up on the project, but anyway, he couldn't go further until the day of the incident. "

"After that, there was a great disaster, and the attempt to artificially create the void failed. The abyss has begun to sweep the Empire District. You should know a lot about this, so you do n’t need to elaborate. What needs to be mentioned is some self-rescue at the end of the Empire. At present, it seems that few of these plans have been successful. What really works is the conception of the fifteen-day zone and the vengeance fire that I have retained—you seem to have identified the connection between these things and me. I talked to the new emperor about the avengers while on the deep dive. "

Sandola smiled: "I'd like to thank you anyway at this time. If it weren't for your protection, I should be like the polluters in the abyss."

"I just follow the supreme principle of" priority of the empire, "" Abyss waved his hands indifferently. "In short, when the disaster came, I helped the Avengers, and the concept of the fifteen-day zone was broken. Before I finished, I hurried up and took the handle. At present, it seems that the most successful are only these two things. After I finished all the things, I fell back to the Internet again. I was thinking that there was nothing to do anyway, I just waited to die. Well, but then the first thing that I didn't expect happened ... "

I touched my chin: "If I didn't guess wrong, I would have been pulled out of the whip corpse when I opened the Da Yue Tower and was spiked."

Abyss Spirit smiled: "Don't say that, from the end result you did save a lot of people-although most of them survived and became polluters. In short, the power of the void creature crossed the barrier of conception, although the amount Not much, but the pollution in the abyss is still neutralized to a certain extent, so the infected apostle survived, and turned from a fatal fate to a deep sleep, and I, as a network consciousness, naturally after all my subordinate nodes are asleep I also entered a state of false death. This dormancy is almost 70,000 years, and from time to time, some sleeping polluters wake up and have limited activities for several years, and I will also wake up with it, sometimes murky, sometimes more sober, There are probably dozens of times in the impression ... 70,000 years, dozens of times, just so intermittently sober, thinking intermittently, I finally have the opportunity to sort out what happened and repair my function little by little In the process of self-healing, I found an unexpected situation: I got rid of the shackles of the grass-roots agreement to a certain extent. "

"Then you went from being a network maintainer directly to being a super administrator," of course I knew what was going on, "you bypassed a small part of the agreement to establish control over the 'nodes.'"

"I planned something similar after the disaster and before the start of sleep, but at that time I had given up hope in this area, but did not expect it to happen by chance by chance," Abyss Noble nodded. ~ www.readwn.com ~ You're right, I just became the ruler of the Abyss. I set up my own control system before all the nodes awakened, and started looking for the next action target: I am A cyber consciousness, I must have a mission goal to run, and this goal can be easily determined: the empire collapsed, so I want to revive the empire. "

Sandora and I said in unison: "Even standing in the abyss camp?"

"Yes, even standing in the abyss camp," the dark-haired girl nodded indifferently. "I said that, I don't have a camp concept. Any camp is the same to me. The empire is the empire. To rebuild it, you need to follow It doesn't matter who the enemy is, as long as the empire can stand up again, I will declare war on everything. "

"You are right to declare war on everything," Sandora couldn't help but clap her hands. "I can understand your thoughts, so continue to say, I haven't found out what this has to do with your great cause and bridge building. What about the relationship, and what happened to the civilization on the other side? "

"We know that there is a civilization across the abyss, and the other side also knows it, and it is earlier than we know," said Abyss slowly. "When I woke up shortly and just decided to rebuild the empire, a ship came from the opposite bank. The ship ... is exactly the wreck of a ship, the pile of things you just brought up. In these wrecks, I see the hope that the empire will rise and never fall. "
