Chapter 1584 The Truth Comes Out

Okay, okay, this is a chaotic, mysterious, and information-rich world that can stun both Sandora and I. Look at how many secrets are buried here! I have to take a closer look at everything that happened here:

First of all, we start with a dream of Shandora - oh, this is just a small episode caused by Her Majesty the Queen oversleeping. We can put it aside for the time being. We only look at the real world. At the beginning of everything, the two of us were bombed by the Long Bridge Starter Arrived in a desolate universe where birds do not poop.

Then we discovered signs of life in this desolate universe, and soon found a strange planet. There are high-tech space station ruins in the orbit of the planet, but the surface is a backward civilization in the era of animal-drawn farming. In subsequent follow-up observations, We are sure that this multi-racial, backward civilization suffered a technological epoch, but they took the initiative to seal away their own technology. In the process, we also discovered a familiar race: the last family members of the old empire, the tree elves.

Then the whole thing began to unfold in an uncontrollable direction. It seemed that anything related to the old empire was not good: the residents of this world were all the exiles who survived the catastrophe. We discovered at the edge of the galaxy In the huge tomb-like space ruins, he discovered the old Imperial starship with an unknown identity, he discovered the fragments of the Viska star ring that he had forgotten about, and he discovered that this world had turned into the old Empire, the Legion of Destruction, the Imperial Familia, Abyss Xiling and other messy clues are completely mixed together! At this juncture, the elves proved the location of this world: it is actually in the center of the abyss!

Do you think fate is over after all the twists and turns here? Haha... After struggling for a long time to restart the "Forge of the Gods" (the planetary fortress where the exile fleet rode, one of the creations of the Abyss Xiling), it turned out that Viska's subordinates jumped out!

That's right, even though I almost couldn't believe it at this moment... I couldn't believe anything anymore, but it was indeed Viska's old subordinate who jumped out! And she actually has an agreement with Abyss Xiling. Can you believe it? The last self-rescue plan of the old empire. It was completed by one of Abyss Xiling and Visca's subordinates, and neither Visca nor Abyss Xiling seemed to know about it!

I could only give myself two hard blows on the forehead (Sandora also helped to give them two blows to show that the husband and wife are of the same mind) to calm myself down and be calm... I have to accept this reality even if I am not calm, and then suddenly thought of a big problem that troubled me. The mystery seems to be about to be solved: Sandora and I saw here two days ago that a star ring fragment was launched into an unknown world, so the shipboard AI of the God Forge is an old subordinate of Visca. Do you know about the fragments?

I looked at the communicator with a smile on my face. Although I couldn't see the other person's "face" like this, I believed that I had fully conveyed my goodwill: "Then let's get down to business... Wait a minute! Do you know? What about the star rings? The star rings of the barrier star."

This unrestrained AI, which had transformed into the forge of the gods, immediately replied happily: "I know, I know, this ship is it."

Me: "...Excuse me, maybe I didn't understand clearly...you said you are...what?"

"Star Ring," the unrestrained AI was very proud. "Back then, this ship hung around the Honor Starship of Lord General. There were two rings in total. At that time, this ship was still one... with two very beautiful necklaces. Are you afraid of the necklaces? At that time, this ship was the main body of the whole body. Cannons... don't laugh! This ship is really equipped with main guns! The general's star ring is an external weapon chain. The general likes cannons, so this ship is covered with cannons! That crazy flagship is jealous of this ship's main guns. Only then did she slowly suppress herself into a fool. She claimed that she was the main gun, so she was imagining this ship! However, the hero has passed away in his old age, and it is hard to find enough glory for thousands of years. When will he return to the lofty road, and Look at the picture of the general's resumption of formation - when our ship set out to look for the general, it accidentally blew itself up."

I was stunned: "..."

Sandora Ball's reaction was more direct, and she was so shocked that she forgot how to fly. It fell to the ground with a splat and fell into a big pie.

This is the truth about the star ring fragments! ? A psychotic host got separated from his owner, and when he set out to find him... he blew himself up?

"Then... we may have to talk to this AI about some very ancient but important things first." I picked up the Sandora ball that had been smashed into a pie from the ground, and turned to look at the pile in embarrassment. The old man and a few young elves with gossipy faces said, "These things have nothing to do with you. How about you go to the lounge next to you for a while? Anyway, it will be over for today."

A group of respected old elves showed full wisdom and grace at this moment, waving their hands to express that they were not tired: "It's okay, it's okay, we just wait here - I don't know what happened, but it seems to be quite interesting."

"It's not good at all for you to wait here!" The Sandora ball returned to its spherical shape with a bang, floating in the air and chasing people away with great momentum. "Go to the rest room and stay there! Especially you two Popes, why don't you quickly find a place to lie down just after taking out the implant? This matter is an internal secret of the empire, no one is allowed to eavesdrop - this is an order !”

I thought about it and thought that the internal secrets of the empire probably meant the royal gossip...

A group of elves were coaxed and driven into the lounge by us. Although they didn't want to admit it, it seemed that this chaotic episode made them feel very happy. Then Sandora and I returned to the communicator. Get ready to talk about life with this... Psycho Host No. 2.

Talk about the unknown life of her and her psychotic master.

"Come on, let's have a good chat," I sat on the chair holding Sandora Ball, burying my whole body deeply in the wide backrest. I was already exhausted both physically and mentally as soon as I opened my mouth - this is what I usually do with the two crazy people. The conditioned reflex developed during chatting. Chatting with a psychopath must be a physically and mentally exhausting process, and I don’t believe that there are any sane guys under Viska. “No matter how much you believe now, Viska is indeed my sister. , Oh, Viska is your general's current name, so it's obvious - I care about everything related to her, especially the star ring fragments she left behind. We have been investigating this matter for three and a half years. ! But you are here, and you have been imprisoned for tens of thousands of years... It seems that Viska never mentioned that the star ring fragment has an independent host?"

"The General didn't say anything? Oh. That's normal," Bufangai (I almost thought of Pentium, do you believe it? This host is too fast!) didn't take it seriously, as if he had already expected Huesca's behavior, "She is a People who don't stick to trivial matters have high ambitions in life. We don't care about the world. To put it bluntly, our AIs, battleships, etc. are just tools for the general, and they may indeed be forgotten. Often a certain battleship or fleet is forgotten by the general. , she would even leave the entire legion behind and suddenly disappear. But we would all find a way to find her. By the way, at that time, the general often said to us in surprise: Ah, what are you doing? Speaking suddenly - because she often forgets when she installed a personal host on which ship. This is not a problem for the Legion of Destruction, as long as we can fight."

I thought it was wise to keep myself in a state of physical and mental exhaustion ahead of time so that I didn't have to collapse a second time.

"It's really Huesca's style back then," Sandora's feeble voice sounded in her ears. "She even forgot that she had a glory form and took it back... So, when Viska ran to fight Occam, she forgot about the star ring and the glory starship, and then you Take the initiative to leave the barrier star to find her?"

We have always regarded the Viska Ring and the Bulwark Star as a whole. We have never thought that the Ring is a "special spacecraft" with a separate AI. Therefore, when we learned that the Ring of the Barrier Star has been lost, everyone It is believed that this was an accident caused by external factors. They even suspected that the thing was stolen, but who would have thought that Star Ring could think? It's even a ship - one ship or two? It seems to be made up of two circles, but judging from Bufeng AI's statement, it seems that the two circles share her AI, so it is considered one ship.

In fact, if you think about it, the Glory Starship is a special unit. Its core system is incompatible with all conventional equipment. The pendant cannot be used unless it is run independently! Viska was really a master of magic modification back then, and her magical DIY spirit... How many Imperial scientists have been studying on the wrong path for three and a half years, and still haven't figured out how the star ring suddenly escaped.

"This ship was thrown into the sky above that blue star and it took about...hundreds of thousands of years for it to react." Brave AI thought for a while, "This ship thought that the general would come as soon as he left, but it ended up being like this for hundreds of thousands of years. A blink of an eye passed, and when the group of monkeys walking upright on the blue star below were overrun, the ship realized one thing: the general forgot his spaceship again, so the ship decided to go find her. Well, the great journey .”

Sandora heard this and began to correct the timeline: "Based on the New Empire's time scale, Viska arrived on Earth more than 700,000 years ago and destroyed the Atlantean civilization, and then around the same time, part of her army and Austrian When Cam met, she threw her glory starship and star ring aside and ran to fight with others, and never came back... Then hundreds of thousands of years passed, and the empire collapsed about 70,000 years ago, that is, It is said that the limit time for Abyss Xiling to stay awake and formulate a self-rescue plan was 70,000 years ago. The Star Ring host must have met Abyss Xiling before this time... Well, there is no problem in time, they can all meet. What happened next? What happened when you set out to look for your general?"

"The vast sky is endless, the years are fierce and the battle is endless, where will the general go? Thousands of rivers and roads are full of sorrow - the general's whereabouts are elusive and often not online, where can I find her on this ship," unrestrained AI seems to like whenever she speaks. After reading two lines of poetry, I couldn’t imagine from which magical parallel world she, a guy who left the earth tens of thousands of years ago, learned this way of speaking, “Let this ship think about it... This ship was short of troops at the time. Rear Admiral, apart from a few temporary frigates, I only have two star rings. The team is not enough to show off. Back then, my ship was known to have millions of soldiers wherever it went. Then it ran around in the void looking for the general. There were seven or eight hundred routes in between. It took more than 20,000 years to create a universe, and it was occasionally regarded as a god by the locals... but the general could not be found. Later, the ship searched the database, and found that the general left an 'origin landmark' ', Although I don't know when this landmark was preserved, it seems that the general was born nearby, and then this ship led the remaining ships to find it..."

"You ran to the Imperial District?" I was dumbfounded by this act of seeking death. "Don't you know those are enemies?"

Huesca was wanted throughout the Empire District back then! How could this carrier-based AI not even know this?

"At that time, this ship didn't know that these coordinates were the Imperial Zone. The initial database the general gave us was in a mess. She didn't even know how big the Imperial Zone was," said the unrestrained AI very disapprovingly. "And this ship didn't find the origin landmark. The world it pointed to was blocked by something unknown, so this ship could only wander around there - and then something big happened."

"The abyss exploded," Sandora nodded. "Finally I know how the star ring was destroyed. It turned out to be a suicide."

"Isn't the explosion of the abyss also the result of you committing suicide? I have heard what that woman said. You are more capable of committing suicide than I am." Bufangai said with disdain, "In short, two star rings It was directly broken up. One of the ships was intended to be used as an escape ship. It was launched before it was infected, but after it flew out, the ship realized that it had forgotten to transfer itself to it... ... Tragic, the remaining half of the ship's body carrying the main consciousness was surrounded, and it had no choice but to self-destruct, and the explosion shattered it... like a girl's heart."

I can never look directly into a girl's heart again in this life!

The other party's memory has the last paragraph: "Then our ship met that woman, a woman who didn't even have a body... or the entire empire was a body. It was the first time I saw such a strange guy. She saved our ship. I picked up the core that came down and repaired it. I also picked up some of the fragments of the ship and brought them back. Then we talked about a lot of things. It was strange. She seemed to know something about the general, and she assured the ship that the general did not Being affected by that abyssal eruption means that the general is still alive. Since this ship didn't even have a body at the time, and it was impossible to escape from the contaminated area on its own, this ship reached an agreement with her..."

I said the following for her: "You will guard the storage warehouse here for her until the infection in the contaminated area is over. The reward is that you can survive with the safety device of the storage warehouse, and you will be able to regain it the day it reopens." Be free and go on to your general."

"Well, by the way, I also want to thank her for saving my life. After all, she repaired the core host of this ship," Bufengai replied, "And she looks quite pitiful. She worked hard in the last few days... I don't agree It doesn’t make sense, this ship is a master who knows rewards and punishments and must repay grudges.”

"But why would Abyss Xiling choose to let a foreign host guard such an important thing?" Sandora Ball was a little confused, "And it's this kind of... quite personalized host made by Viska? She doesn't worry about the quality. question?"

"You are questioning the general's skills and insulting my ship's character! If I hadn't seen you as a piece of shit, I would have dueled you long ago!" The AI's reaction was quite quick. However, she still explained, "The woman had no choice at that time. She was at the end of her rope. She built this planetary fortress called the Forge of the Gods, but she was unable to build the main engine before the fortress was completed - it seemed that all The production bases that can manufacture such large hosts have been destroyed, or a certain data link is contaminated, and the manufactured hosts are innately poisonous. Anyway, she can only ask this ship for help. Don't look at this ship back then. It's a hula hoop, but it's also a pendant for the Honor Starship. The data exchange speed and compatibility are amazing. It's a special supply for this ship..."

"Okay, this problem has been solved." I looked at the dusty planetary fortress on the holographic projection. "The last question: What happened to the star ring fragments? Why are you launching that thing?"

"You have so many questions," the other party seemed a little impatient, but still answered, "That was automatically launched when the ship was in sleep mode, and the program was set before going to bed. At that time, the woman transformed the ship into this After that, she left behind a method of sending out distress letters. Because she could not directly determine whether the contaminated area was safe, she left a set of world gates for the world that could cross the contaminated area and directly send things deeper into the void. She built This device has been used for a long time, but it is worth the money. Although each launch will cause considerable damage to the projectile, it is still a call for help. No one cares about the bumps on the drift bottle. It is said that some of the scheduled launch coordinates are from the Protoss Territory, some are random areas, and some are... fire save points and the like. Anyway, it was formulated by that woman, and this ship has not studied it in detail. As for the projectile, of course it is this ship's star ring! Big Some of the star ring fragments floated deep into the contaminated area after the explosion and could not be recovered, but a small part of the fragments are still in the hands of this ship. This is the most suitable distress letter. Anyway, the gods must see these things with abyss. We will send people to search for it - but this ship prefers that these fragments can be sent to the general."

Out of the vigilance and sensitivity to the abyss I have cultivated over the years, I couldn't help but ask: "Are you launching star ring fragments outward? What about the pollution of this thing? If you don't say that the pollution reaches the outside, are you not afraid of infection? Where do you put them?"

The other party's tone was still so unconcerned: "Pollution? The pollution has been transformed. Although I don't know how that woman did it, she seems to have found a way to turn small batches of the Abyss into inertia. It's just this The efficiency is too low, and there is no way to rescue the entire contaminated area - but it can create some star ring fragments with special properties. The fragments launched by this ship are all transformed, with abyss, but they are peaceful and have no destructive power, so it is difficult to save them. Relatively safe. By the way, this conversion device is in the belly of this ship, and that thing is in the storage room. That woman treats it like a treasure."

I no longer bothered to ask questions about the "transformation device" (probably because I have abilities that are better than that, so I didn't care much about it), but I quickly remembered some things that happened a long time ago!
