Chapter 1,462 Prejudgment System
(Happy New Year everyone! According to the old habit, I still don’t ask for leave during the New Year and receive red envelope monthly tickets?!)
The ever-approaching discontinuity brings a lot of pressure to people. Although I still think it will take at least three hundred years to reach the gate of the abyss. It seems that there is plenty of time, but these three hundred years in Sando What happened in the blink of an eye in the eyes of La, Bingtis and others: these fierce men who have lived for several cosmic cycles are now busy preparing to face the possible impact.
We have Xiaoxue who has come back from the future, but unfortunately this naughty child cannot be counted on at the critical moment: she knows nothing about "discontinuous zones". This may mean that the discontinuity belt did not cause any consequences in the end, or it may be that there is another reason why it is not recorded in future textbooks. Anyway, we can't be paralyzed because of Xiaoxue's attitude. Sandora is right, anything related to the abyss can't be good. It's definitely not too much to regard it as a huge threat at any time.
I accompanied Sandora to learn about other aspects of the deep-diving plan. Normally, Lin Xue would have gone home out of boredom, but today she seems to be particularly enthusiastic about work, and she even followed Sandora and me. La Yi stayed here for a long time and listened to the report. After Tavel gave a detailed report on the plan for the next deep dive, she came over and said, "Tavel, don't you have something related to me that you want to report?"
I was stunned: "Girl Lin, what did you discuss with Tavel again?"
"No," Lin Xue waved her hand, "I knew when I got up early that she had something to report today, and just now she was holding back a surprise for me. Tavel, I accept your thoughts. It's really hard for you to be so humane. Sometimes, unfortunately, I will definitely miss surprises in this life."
Tavel was stunned for a moment by what Lin Xue said. Finally, he pushed his eyes in embarrassment: "Well, my subordinate does have something to report... It seems that it is really difficult to go around the circle with the prophet. Your Majesty, And Mistress. I am happy to show you a new technology. In addition, the main developer of this new technology is not my subordinate, but Lady Alleria."
When I heard this, I immediately became energetic: Although we don't understand technology, we can just join in the fun. I suddenly regretted not letting Qian Qian stay. That girl prefers to join in the fun... But forget it, she is a huge person in her own right. It was lively, there was a Qianqian at the new product launch conference, and the chance of collapse was simply too high.
Tavel led the way, Sandora, Lin Xue and I followed behind. The four of us soon arrived at the teleportation station in the research institute: teleportation points like this are common in various facilities in the empire. They are used to transport people and small cargo directly from one department to another. The transmission distance may be as far away as Shadow City or two or three worlds away. You can think of them as a kind of super elevator. These transfer stations are small and simple, often so simple that they don’t even have independent cabins. Just like the stations on each floor of the research center, they are actually an open space at the end of the corridor. The walls next to them are embedded with control panels, and the ground is painted with blue light veins. Create a circular area. There is a line of words suspended on the ground in the middle of the ring: Personnel and cargo transfer, no weight limit, please do not leave the circle, set and go. Do not stop in the middle, and it is strictly forbidden to stick chewing gum under the controller.
This is a small station used for transmission between facilities. It is similar in size to the civilian transmission station on the street outside, but it uses a special "line". In addition, the last sentence of the reminder just now was added by me unbearably after Xiaoxue came here.
"Want to go to the teleportation station? Go to other dimensions?" I saw Tavel setting the teleportation target there. I was immediately surprised: according to the display on the panel, the teleportation target point was not even in the Shadow City, but in a different space.
"Let's go to the second research center established by Alleria." Tavel said mysteriously, "The scientific research department of the mysterious department."
Just when I was about to say something, the teleportation station was activated, and a brief glare flashed past my eyes. After the light and shadow in front of me gradually stabilized, I found that I had arrived at an unusually open white hall.
This white hall has a significantly different style from Tavel's research institute. Tavel's research institute is covered in steel and cold colors. The tough and concise overall atmosphere makes people easily think of a high-tech future base, which is reflected everywhere. Adhering to the three principles of "precision, efficiency, and unity," the white hall in front of you is more like some kind of... religious place. I don’t know how to describe this atmosphere. This is a place the size of two or three football fields, roughly oval in shape. The ground is made of a darker gray-white material with a touch of something between metal and rock. The texture between them is shiny, and the surrounding walls are all white. A faint halo of light spreads outward from the walls, giving the impression that all the surrounding walls are translucent. The hall has a tall curved dome, with streamlined support beams like bird bones radiating outward from the center of the dome. Its shape and texture give people a light and elegant impression. There are actually not many decorations in the hall. There is only a circle of light golden lines where the dome and the wall are connected, and sculptures like angel wings can be seen at the roots of the streamlined support beams on the dome. For such a large-scale white hall, As far as the hall is concerned, only these two decorations can be said to be extremely elegant: this place adheres to Apostle Xiling's consistent principle of "simple decoration, emphasis on practicality", but due to the overall color matching and the arc shapes throughout the shape of the hall, this place Still giving people a light and elegant aesthetic.
This is exactly the consistent style of the mysterious buildings that have recently been rebuilt and prospered in the empire. This style is elegant and soft, even reminiscent of the palace of heaven. It is difficult for people who come into contact with it for the first time to believe that this is the building built by those iron-blooded and cold-hearted Xiling apostles. The facilities are built up, but it really comes from the architectural art of the Xiling Apostles, and there is a more elegant Angel Wall in the Celestial City. There live a large group of angels who only think about long live the empire and war is justice. After all, the Xiling Apostles are still the Xiling Apostles. How much nitroglycerin they have in their heads seems to have nothing to do with how beautiful the house they build is.
This must be the "research facility on the mysterious side" that Tavel mentioned. I didn't expect that in such a short time, Alleria had not only restarted most of the basic industries in Celestial City, but had even re-formalized the research team. ：Xiling Apostle’s ability to rebuild civilization is really hard to look at.
There are many staff members busy walking through the hall, and quite a few of them are angels with wings on their backs like Alaya. They have unique silver hair and golden eyes. This feature distinguishes them from the Star Realm Protoss, and they can be seen at a glance. It can be seen that this is the Xiling Angel that was "hatched" from the Angel Wall not long ago. It seems that not all Xiling Angels are involved in the battle sequence. Some of them should be more specialized in research and development projects like Alleria. In addition to these Xiling Angels, there are many staff in the hall who look similar to ordinary apostles. They wear white robes similar to Tavel's, but their coats are longer and their collars are inlaid with golden patterns ( The researcher uniforms of Tavel's team have blue emblems or patterns), and in other details, their clothes seem to have some special styles: this should be the standard clothes of researchers on the mysterious side.
Everyone here looks like a gentle scholar, but I guess the researchers here are just like Tavel's gang of battlefield madmen, crazy people who can take out seventy or eighty kinds of explosives from their pockets at any time. the scientist……
"Oh, it looks good here." I looked around and couldn't help but praise it. Although I didn’t understand what was going on, the place was quite open, well, that’s what it meant.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the doorway. After looking around, Sandora made a more professional evaluation: "This place is quite open."
I:"……"
It doesn't seem to be very professional... Well, Sandora is not from a scientific research institution anyway.
Just as we were praising this spacious and beautiful place, an elegant figure shrouded in holy light suddenly floated down from above, and the kite angel Alleria appeared in front of everyone with a smile: "Your Majesty, And Mistress, I just heard the news from Tavel. Are you here to inspect the 'Harbinger' system?"
"Omen?" When I heard the name, I glanced at Lin Xue subconsciously, thinking that just by hearing the name, I knew that this thing was related to Lin Xue, and then shook my head, "We don't know what we are here to see yet. God Tavel Mysterious Secret didn’t say anything.”
"Please follow me," Alleria spread her wings gracefully and floated backwards. "This is a versatile system with a wide range of uses. You will definitely be satisfied with its effects."
At this time, another holy white light fell out of thin air. Alaya's figure slowly emerged in the white light: Sister Angel felt the familiar atmosphere around her and automatically woke up from hibernation. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. When he found that he was surrounded by familiar scenes, he was in a daze for a moment. Then he saw Alleria floating in front of him and then he realized: "Alleria? Have you rebuilt the Temple of Knowledge?"
Only then did I realize that the "research center" on the mysterious side was called the "Temple of Knowledge", and there were still differences between the cultures of the two sides.
"We found the fragments of the Temple of Knowledge at the border of Chaos, so we started rebuilding them in advance," Alleria said respectfully to Alaya. "There are some databases in the fragments of the Temple that are still usable, and there are also over-the-limit experiments. Most of the rooms are well preserved, and the reconstruction process is smoother than expected. The only problem here now is the lack of personnel, but scholar-type apostles cannot be rushed, and can only be cultivated slowly."
"Oh," the angel sister nodded with her unique confused expression, but her words were not confused at all, "Was it repaired according to the old site of the church or was it redesigned? I remember that there was a church in the church back then. The expansion plan is coming, and the number of virtual world laboratories is not enough, but something happened before we could expand."
"No need to worry, the expansion has been completed," Alleria's voice sighed slightly, "It was rebuilt according to the expansion plan that was not realized back then. Although it was seventy thousand years late, the expansion of this place was finally completed according to the design plan. ”
A dull smile appeared on Alaya's face. She smiled slowly and said in a very pleased tone: "Okay, another task has been completed."
The structure of the Knowledge Temple is very different from the research center on the science and technology side. The entire building seems to be built by relying on space expansion and other magical space distortion technologies. It is full of vast and large spaces, and many spaces are not available at all. A realistic geometric structure. For example, you can see doors next to each other on a wall, but no matter which door you open and enter, you will see an unusually vast new room, just like all the doors. They all lead to different spaces. You will see abrupt stairs and corridors on the wall or on the ground, but there is no space to accommodate these things on the other side of the wall. This building should not be established at all in the normal spatial structure. , but that’s how it was built. This construction method reminds me of a ghost building a wall...
Tell me how I came up with this!
Alleria took us through several doors. None of these doors followed the normal spatial structure, so I guessed that we should have entered a place like the Folding Space Laboratory. Then we finally came to a slightly smaller room. The smaller rotunda is the laboratory. This place looks very different from the laboratory on the technology side. All the equipment and facilities have a streamlined and elegant appearance, and basically I can’t see the use. Of course, I can’t see it in the laboratory on the technology side either. What those things are for. There are very few large-scale equipment here, but there are many runes and virtual "devices" floating in the air. I saw some staff "writing" a series of lines by touching the runes in the air or directly in the air. To affect the surrounding equipment or things on the test bench, this novel operation method is really eye-opening. But after looking around, I couldn't find where the "harbinger" device was. There are many operating platforms similar to gravity-free platforms here, but there are so many floating things on those operating platforms that it is impossible to tell which ones are being analyzed in particular.
"'Omen' is not a specific device, but a general-purpose system that can be embedded in various devices." Alleria explained immediately after hearing my question, "All the devices you see here are embedded in With the trial version of the 'Harbinger' module, we are verifying its broad-spectrum applicability, from weapons to shields to soul uploading devices."
"What on earth is it?" I couldn't help but ask.
"An amorphous rune array. Tavel originally tried to use psionic frequency division to simulate the power of the prophet to observe multiple world lines. But in the end we found that a rune system with higher uncertainty is more effective. "Alleria said as she led us to the nearest test bench. She communicated with the scholars here. After the on-site staff has all the equipment ready, “you can directly see its effect.”
There is a shield generator floating in the gravity-free area of the test bed, and it is the type of individual external shield generator commonly used on the technology side. It seems to be just like Alleria said. "Omen" is a general-purpose thing. Although it was created in the knowledge temple of the mysterious side, it is not only the equipment of the mysterious side that is tested here.
Alleria touched the crystal panel under the gravity-free platform. The ordinary-looking shield generator was fixed in the air by a set of floating devices, and then she casually pulled out her golden sword of holy light from the air and swung it at the shield generator.
Of course, this test slight attack was immediately blocked by the psionic shield. However, unlike the normal stress shield, the generator was actually activated before Alleria summoned the sword!
Alleria then tested it several more times: she waved her long sword in front of the shield generator, and several times she even released scorching holy light to hit the generator with only a few millimeters to miss. However, the shield generator The shield generator showed no sign of activation.
I know that this individual external shield is used to enhance the soldier's defense. It can add an additional layer of protection in addition to the shield of the Xiling Apostle itself. This kind of equipment has two working states: stress type and long-term type. The former will only be activated when a threat enters its scanning range, while the latter is open for a long time. Obviously, the instantaneous protection of the former is much higher than that of the latter. . However, the error rate of the stress system is a problem that cannot be ignored: it scans for high heat, high energy, high speed or other threatening things that are too close to itself, but not every scan is timely and accurate. The problem of false alarms is very serious. At that time, the external shield was activated, but the attack just missed the soldier. This may be because the soldier was lucky enough to escape the attack, or it may be that the enemy was really unlucky, so the energy of the stress shield was wasted.
Moreover, when faced with an attack that is too fast and violent, the stress mode may not be able to react. If the opponent uses a non-delayed attack such as psionic energy, the soldiers can only set the shield to a low protective power for a long time. Working mode: After all, the attack of psionic weapons is faster than the speed of light, which does not give any sensor time to react.
And I have realized what is going on with the shield equipped with the "harbinger" system in front of me.
It's predicting! Decide when you want to start before the event happens!
Alleria tested it several times, and sometimes her attack would hit the shield generator just one millimeter away, but the latter showed no sign of activation (if it was in normal stress mode, there would be a high-energy shield generator at very close range. The reaction comes quickly and it should have been activated a long time ago), sometimes the shield generator is activated even though she does nothing, and the next second after the shield is activated, the attack will come out of nowhere: Aurelie The Holy Light Thrust summoned by Ya using silent casting was originally a completely unavoidable assassin-style attack, but the "harbinger" system had already reacted before Alleria herself even realized that she was about to attack!
"This is the 'harbinger'," Alleria put away her weapon a little unhappy. It seemed that even if she knew what she was testing, dealing with a thing that was almost a prophet still made the kite angel quite depressed, but it was very frustrating. Her tone soon became proud and high-spirited, "Theoretically, there is no misjudgment system. It will only defend against things that are 100% likely to hit you, even if the attack has not yet come, even if the enemy has not thought of pulling the trigger yet. , it will also activate, and if it does not activate, it means that the attack will indeed fail without hurting itself. Even if the fatal threat is only one millimeter away from the protected target, it will not activate at all. No waste, and Make no mistake, 'Omen' is such an embedded prediction system."
