Chapter 1599 A Big Stone Fell to the Ground

"Let me explain some things. Regarding the startup side... there should be some contact between the two sides."

Abyss Xiling suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.

"Until yesterday, this was just a guess. I deduced it based on the blueprint and function of the startup terminal. But now that there is a real object in front of me, I can basically confirm this matter," Abyss Xiling sorted out his thoughts slightly. , turned to look at the ancient immortal creation in space, "The starting point is probably the only thing that can break the incompatibility boundary between the two sides - it is not a matter in the ordinary sense, but a pure product of information entanglement. You see, it is placed on There, you have actually received the existence information it emits to the outside world. Of course, according to the unified theory of information: information is everything, we can still think that the initiator is a real 'thing', but its birth process must still be What is clear: A simple information entanglement process is simpler and more direct than the empire's information-matter transformation. Therefore, the start-up end has some extraordinary properties. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait use the same set of blueprints, and the information entanglement process is completely The same, so the manufactured starter is also exactly the same, because the whole process is not based on local materials, so it has no missing properties for us."

What Abyss Xiling said was very easy to understand, and I immediately understood what she meant: the starter is not made of "matter" from a certain shore, including the so-called extraordinary substances, which have nothing to do with the starter, so it is natural There is no "missing attribute" phenomenon. There is only one set of blueprints for the start-up end. From the processing methods to the raw materials, they were all formulated by a genius from the other side of the Taiwan Strait. At present, it seems that there is no essential difference in the world hearts between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. So the startup end is all the same. But I still can't believe it: because the big lump floating in the distance is really not the same style as the boot end made by Abyss Xiling. It looks like a burnt and deformed plastic ball. The starting point created by Abyss Xiling is a brilliant light group. No matter how much trouble this naughty child makes, at least her aesthetics seems to be better than that of the other side...

Sandora also thought of this, and she asked curiously: "You said that the startup terminals produced by both sides of the Taiwan Strait are the same? There is a big difference!"

"The appearance? The appearance doesn't matter. The starting end has no fixed image at all. It will turn into a brilliant light group after charging. But in the case of complete shutdown, information collapse will occur, and the 'cooled' starting end will become It’s not strange to look like anything,” Abyss Xiling shrugged, “Don’t forget what it is made of. The Heart of the World itself is an amorphous thing. When the startup end is shut down, it will randomly change into any shape. This big messy ball... is probably the image of the heart of a certain world on the other side."

Bingtis listened dizzy for a long time. At this time, he felt blessed again: "Does this mean that it is possible for this thing to turn into a beautiful girl? As long as it is something that may appear in the universe?"

Abyss Xiling glanced at Bingtis inexplicably: "...It's theoretically possible. But does it make sense?"

"It makes no sense," Bingtis giggled and patted my shoulder hard, "Your girl halo didn't work this time!"

Me: "..." Where have this crazy man's thoughts been wandering from just now? !

"Now it seems that the bridge-building test that led to the destruction of the home world still has such details..." Lin Xue looked at the dark ancient equipment thoughtfully, "It's not like the other side didn't know that it had to start from both sides at the same time." The bridge can only be opened by opening the door. They also knew that two starting terminals were needed, and they launched one. It seems that they planned to open the door on both sides at the same time through remote control or timing? But I don't know what happened. This is theoretically feasible. The plan still failed...the launched launcher was not activated at all."

"According to historical records... it was indeed not activated," Tavel nodded. "Activation of the activation terminal is a very obvious and spectacular phenomenon. During the Battle of Tranquility Core, the entire universe was illuminated by the radiance of the activation terminal. According to historical records, the home world resisted tenaciously for many years when the abyss opened. But no one saw anything. A large beam of light appeared that penetrated the world - this means that this thing was not turned on at all, and in the end, it encountered some unknown situation, and its outer shell peeled off, leaving only a core. This is the theory."

Abyss Xiling suddenly showed a strange smile: "It seems that the new army is destined to fail."

I was stunned for a moment, and then I understood what Abyss Xiling meant: After the Tranquility Core Battle, we salvaged some confidential information on the New Army, and finally confirmed that those radical lunatics had indeed created another launcher. And they launched it to the other side. They really planned to "synchronize the door opening" through remote control, but now it seems that another death-seeking civilization tried this road a long time ago, and it didn't work at all - although It's not necessarily that the "remote control solution" itself is unfeasible, but at least we are now sure that there is definitely a problem with this path.

Tavel has determined that the core is "still usable", so the problem must lie in the execution process.

It's a pity that the new army that has been wiped out will never know this.

In fact, speaking of it, the new army is quite powerful. They were able to create another starter in just a few months after the abyssal zone was split, and forcibly sent it to the other side. This ability can be described as terrifying. You must know how rare it is to start the terminal. Now that one core is missing, the Abyss Xiling is worried about something, and those crazy people actually built another one casually and launched it...

It can only be said that people who have no lower limit are indeed omnipotent. The biggest problem in making the core of the starter is that it requires a large amount of world hearts, and it must be "purely natural". Synthetic fast-growing products cannot be used. Abyss Xiling is the biggest worry The reason is that she still has a lower limit. She can't attack other worlds now (the three giants of the void will beat her), nor can she attack her own territory in the abyss (reluctant to part with it). But the New Army is different. They put all their own The worlds were destroyed, either sacrificed to recharge the starter, or dismantled to make cores, and a large number of innocent worlds in the White Zone were plundered during several months of frenzied operations - this was later captured from Found in the database, the void is vast. In some areas, the Protoss and the Empire combined are beyond their reach, and it is impossible for us to keep an eye on every robbery of the new army. You can only stare at the known world. So this group of crazy people with no limits achieved this almost miraculous "result".

But they don't know that they have chosen a path that failed countless years ago.

Of course, many of these can only be my guesses. After all, many details of the "opening incident" in the hometown world have been unclear, and the real reason why this ancient startup terminal failed to activate is also unclear, let alone the new army. There is also no evidence there, just some tattered databases salvaged after the war. It is difficult to restore all the truth.

"What could be the real reason for the failure of this startup terminal?" Sandora showed a thoughtful look. She has always been thoughtful, and it is impossible not to worry about many hidden dangers. "The Abyss Gate that appeared in the home world was a failure. , will this startup end be faulty? Let’s just use it... Is it inappropriate? "

"The startup itself is fine," Abyss Xiling nodded vigorously, "Although you can't see its true appearance without activating it, some preliminary tests have passed smoothly. It is very simple to judge whether the core of the startup is intact or not. , as long as it can complete a few attribute tests, it can be 100% sure that there is no malfunction."

Tavel also expressed his position: "Perhaps the problem back then was with the outer components of the launcher. Those components were probably damaged on the way to being launched, but that is not important. We only need its core now. Theoretically. so."

"Then what should we do next?" I looked at the strangely shaped ancient core. "Just put this thing directly into our boot shell? Do we need to process it, adjust the size, grind the interface or something?"

Abyss Xiling looked at me dumbfounded. After a long time, he bowed his head in sincerity: "Father, you can only amaze your daughter with your imagination."

Me: "..." No matter how awesome you pretend to be, the naughty kids are all the same!

Tavel coughed twice to come to the rescue: "Ahem. The specific installation plan has not been finalized yet. First, the core must be thoroughly inspected from the inside out. After all, it is something that has been around for so many years, and it is not made by the Empire. It feels a bit... Don't worry. After checking, we still have to figure out its power supply mode. Although the starters made by both sides of the Taiwan Strait are exactly the same, their energy interfaces are always 'specialties' made by their respective civilizations. We haven't found the socket yet. Where...that's the theory."

So now what the expert team is busy with is finding a socket for this thing. This is really a tall job.

"Speaking of which, our psionic energy...does it matter?" I suddenly remembered that the starting point is charged with psionic energy. At least the starting point made by Abyss Xiling uses psionic energy as energy. "Will there be any conflict?"

"Didn't I say that the startup terminals on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are exactly the same," Abyss Xiling looked over helplessly, "Can you listen more seriously? The startup terminal is probably the only one that will not cause incompatibility between the two sides so far. 'Phenomenal things and energy can of course be used with each other. And psionic energy is only a kind of extraordinary energy. According to the void ladder, as long as things at the same level are essentially interchangeable, psionic energy can be transformed into the world, and the world can also burn. Transformed into psionic energy, holy light, advanced arcana and the power of truth are also equivalent to psionic energy. It is so easy to transform, even if one energy frequency is not easy to use, we can change it immediately. At the worst, we can install a transformer inside it. ', anyway, the internal space of the boot end is quite spacious, and a lot of bits and pieces can be stuffed in..."

I wiped the non-existent cold sweat on my forehead: "Why do you feel that your plan is more casual than my imagination... Is it really okay to do this? I always feel that the quality of the startup end is worrying."

"At least it's a complete device, there can be no problems," Abyss Xiling spread his hands, "And the startup end only undertakes the task of 'starting' in the whole process. To put it bluntly, it is a one-time consumable. It will be useless after the bridge is established. , the long bridge in the void will maintain stability on its own, and the starting end will evaporate by itself later. Well, the plan is perfect, it seems that I am still about as good as I was back then."

Everyone: "..."

Finally, I glanced at Lin Xue and Xiao Xue. The only role of these two prophets here was to serve as a barometer. When Abyss Xiling finalized the "plan", the mother and daughter prophets nodded at the same time.

Okay, then it looks like there won't really be any problems... That's the theory.

The issue on the startup side was solved suddenly and to everyone's satisfaction, and all that was left was for the expert group to worry about. I felt that if I continued to stay in this place with a huge amount of information, I would sooner or later die of inferiority complex to my limited knowledge. So he said goodbye and left.

Bingtis also came with me, and Xiaoxue also came with me: the former was because of a professional mismatch. Listening to Tavel and Sandora's research on the startup side is also like listening to the Bible. The latter is because... forget it, naughty children still need reasons to do things? Although I don’t understand why such a big girl still needs to hold her dad’s arm when she goes shopping.

The three of us came to the bustling commercial street in the civilian area of ​​Shadow City. I don’t know if the resolution of the startup incident made us feel good, and it also beautified the entire world. I feel that the daily scenery I see every day in front of me is a little more alive now. Various races fill my sight. Humanoid and non-humanoid creatures wearing strange clothes are bustling on the street. Some of them I can still barely remember. Where they come from, but most of them can't tell at all - on the one hand, because many of them come from the macro world, which is not impressive to people, on the other hand, these people have completely integrated into this inclusive world. The capital of all realms with unprecedented power, they are already part of the Shadow City. He is a local through and through.

Lin Xue accidentally sighed before, saying that everything is good in Shadow City, but he can't find his own culture: Xiling apostles never study this stuff, their culture is generally engraved on the warheads, and visitors from many worlds After all, they are passers-by and temporary residents, and they cannot be considered "indigenous" of Shadow City. But now I feel that Lin Xue's sigh is completely inappropriate - isn't this the culture of Shadow City in front of me?

Tolerant of all things and full of vitality. Everyone can live with peace of mind, and a lot of ridiculous events happen every day. Countless customs and habits compromise and blend in here. The wonderful atmosphere formed is completely the culture of the Shadow City, and it can even be called the new empire culture.

Well, it seems that a big issue at the start-up has been solved, which makes me feel so excited that I can't control it. I can see a few centaur girls struggling with two shoe vendors on the street and sigh that there are so many things. But having said that Back... Centaurs use horseshoes, right? Ladies and gentlemen, don’t you think you should find a blacksmith’s shop or some other place to buy shoes?

As a result, I just thought so. I saw one of the shoe vendors taking out a few horseshoes from the small satchel beside him: "How about you girls try this? Real and durable horseshoes, I will nail them on for you..."

A mysterious small satchel, a fake product of a questionable brand, operating across a wide range of businesses without a license... Although I didn't wear sunglasses or a "uniform", I immediately knew what was going on: two months of peace, Cicaro. Those bastards under my command have finally bloomed with some winter plum blossoms! Damn it!

But... well, I'm in a good mood today anyway, so I'll let you go. Besides, it's been a long time since I've seen the scene of the urban management war against the black super in Shadow City. The army has been pressed by the war for so long, and the army can't breathe. Now it finally faces the war. It would be nice to have a relatively long period of peace and let these bastards relax and relax - although the Xiling Apostles don't seem to need to relax.

"Peace is so good," I looked up at the clear blue sky and sighed leisurely, "When I feel relaxed, the whole world is as beautiful as if it had been Photoshopped..."

"The way you describe it is still so jumpy," Bingtis put her hands on the back of her head and walked beside her vigorously. She was obviously taking a walk, but she was as energetic as a quick march, "But seeing you fully recovered As it is, I also breathed a sigh of relief. You don’t know how awkward it is for a person who is usually so heartless, silly and optimistic to suddenly become serious and deep. When I look at you every day, it feels like the three views are being reorganized. ."

Bingtis's words were still straight and blunt, as hard as a stone hitting his face, but such a straightforward way of speaking still made people feel the unabashed and heartfelt concern, which seemed to touch my heart. , the smile on his face softened: "To be honest, I have been taken care of by you these years. You also know that I, the emperor, am a bit busy. Sandora can teach me knowledge, but she is really not very good at it. He knows how to enlighten people... Such a half-hearted emperor should worry you a lot, right?"

"I always thought at first... you, a guy from the Xiling side, did my shit," Bingtis' scarlet eyes glanced over, "But then I realized that you are quite interesting. I couldn't help but care about it, after all, it's not easy to watch a void creature grow, and it takes you to become a concubine for a lifetime."

I think about it, this female gangster is now considered a Xiling god, but at the beginning, she and I were two parallel lines. Friends are friends, but the careless Sister Bing is not interested in the path of becoming a leader of a different race. It's not easy, but she has been helping me, a dabbler, over the years, and she has done more than the other five members of the God Clan's five-person group. She even almost forgot about herself before she accidentally stumbled into the Xiling Ji. Which ethnic group does he belong to (Dingdang is in a similar situation, but any escaping behavior of the little thing is due to intelligence factors, which is incomparable with Sister Bing), what does this mean?

A voice suddenly came from the side: "The child bride who moved the void and has been silently dedicated for four years without any name or distinction... Oh, it doesn't seem to be a child bride? Don't worry about the details."

I turned around and looked: Xiaoxue, a naughty kid, was next to me. This girl rarely walked without talking, and I almost forgot about her just now!

At the same time as Xiaoxue's words fell, Bingtis seemed to be thoughtful.
