Sword of Daybreaker

Gao Wenyao pays attention to the situation of the "rail elevator" and the surrounding waters in the southwestern waters of the Loren mainland. Through the countless sensors and optical devices outside the elevator, he can clearly see the huge "joint project". Every action of the “team” can also control the operation of the elevator itself and monitor the situation of the entire “world traffic system” at any time.

Originally, he could not achieve such a comprehensive perception and control. All of this was the result of the "restart" of Kassandra and Ashalena last time.

The corresponding cabin on the Cangqiang Station has been prepared for subsequent maintenance work. All accessible areas have been lifted. The orbital elevator has been listed as a temporary high-priority unit. On the “steel island” on the planet’s surface, the Iron Man Soldiers, sea monsters, and dragons are busy, the ground supply station is gradually taking shape, and a small advance team enters the assembly hall of the rail elevator.

Leading this team is a familiar face... a familiar figure... a familiar ball.

The restoration of the Sky Station will be a crucial project. Although Gawain believes that the siren, dragons and iron people will do their best to complete this task, these are three completely different races after all, and they are used separately. With vastly different technologies, these “differences” may play an unexpected role in their face of the complex and unknown situation at Cangqiang Station, but they also make the coordination and command of the entire project a huge problem.

There must be a trustworthy "acquaintance" to coordinate this engineering team composed of three different races, to know the basics, to have outstanding engineering skills, to have the experience and ability to lead such a complex team to conduct technical research, and the most The most important thing is to be able to pass the "qualification" of the orbital elevator and have the ability to enter space.

Saint Nicholas Egg President This is the most suitable "ball" choice that Gao Wen can think of. As early as when he decided to start the restoration project, he had already decided that this "alien friend" who is extremely good at dealing with machines and metals "Come as the commander-in-chief.

Of course, President Egg himself also has a very important job. As the most senior "big craftsman" of the Cecil Empire, he is still the chief engineer of many high-end projects in the empire. What is his convenient metal manipulation and mechanical manufacturing capabilities? The time seems very useful, but Cecil's engineering technology has developed so far, and he has not completely relied on his ability as it was at the beginning.

With the conscious guidance of Gao Wen and the efforts of the technicians, the latest industrial machine tools have been able to complete most of the production processes that were once only realized by the egg manager. Although the efficiency may not be as high as him, it is huge and In the face of a continuously expanding production scale, this loss of efficiency can completely make up for. Now, the main focus of the egg company has shifted from personal first-line production to design, overall planning and special manufacturing, and these tasks can basically be temporarily delivered. Give it to his deputy to finish.

Now, the great craftsman of the empire has completed the handover of work and joined the engineering team for repairing the sky station as an "engineering commander".

At the base level of the rail elevator, in the brightly-lit assembly hall, the first "advance team" composed of three-party technicians with a total of 90 people has been prepared.

They will enter the Cangqiong Station with the most basic engineering equipment. When the left-behind personnel on the ground establish a stronghold on the surface, the advance team will complete the basic exploration task of the "initial cabin" of the Cangqiang Station for subsequent maintenance work. Be prepared, and at the same time they will also set up a large number of experimental devices in the "assembly hall" corresponding to Cangqiang Station for various experimental projects.

The low and melodious sound of equipment operation echoed softly in this wide and bright hall. The legacy of the ancient sailor remained silent in front of this group of uninvited guests. Nicholas Egg always floated in the midair tens of centimeters above the ground, with excitement. Observing everything around him in a happy mood, he was so happy that he had been making a slight buzzing sound in his body since just now.

However, his “new colleague” who was working with him for the first time did not know how to judge the mood of this great craftsman. Berranta heard the abnormal noise in the whole egg, and suddenly appeared a little worried: "Mr. Nicholas, are you okay? The body has been buzzing, is it because the sequelae of the previous vertigo have not been..."

"I'm okay," Dan always turned around, his tone was brisk and natural, "I'm just in a good mood, don't you see my face?"

Berranta looked at the billowing metal shell and the slightly funny smile in front of him with a dull expression, and said that this is really invisible...

This "Great Craftsman" from the Cecil Empire was the strangest creature she had ever seen in her life, but considering that she would have to work together for a long time, it seemed necessary to increase her understanding, so she became curious after a while. He asked, "Please forgive my offense, but... are you a male or female?"

"My man," Mr. Dan said in a natural tone again, "Can't you see your size?"

Bellanta: "..."

It seems that there is still a long way to go to reach a mutual understanding between Miss Machinist from Tarrond and the iron star from Cecil...

At this moment, there was a slight clicking sound of the mechanical device in the direction of the elevator not far away, and then the "system broadcast" that sounded directly from the bottom of everyone's heart in the hall interrupted everyone's communication: "... The self-check of the whole system has been completed, the rail transit system has been adjusted to the normal operation mode, and the unblocked ride rights of all relay stations and data links have been partially opened to the visitor group."

In the next second, neat blue grid lines appeared on the surface of the silver-white alloy cylinder in the center of the hall that seemed to be integrated, and the open space inside the cylinder appeared in everyone's eyes.

"Okay, it seems that our'visitor status' has been successfully registered," Nicholas Eggs once again heard a pleasant buzzer, and then he took the lead to float forward, "Everyone, go with me. Let's get to the next job position!"

Berranta subconsciously exchanged sights with Ashalena, and at the same time, Alice-6 had already moved forward with a group of Ironman soldiers without expression, faithfully executing the orders of the engineering commander, and then It is the group of "deep water technicians" and "deep sea witches" who seem to have no psychological pressure, as if they are going to travel in space...

When everyone entered the extremely spacious "rail transit cabin", this ancient transportation facility finally started smoothly and began to rise at an astonishing acceleration...

As the rail transit capsule swiftly headed towards the sky station in space, the scene that once shocked Ashalena and Cassandra also began to appear in everyone’s eyes on the open viewing area, the vast expanse of space, After passing the optical shield, the group of space facilities rushing towards you, and the orbiting space station that surrounds the planet and quietly overlooks the earth...

Even the heartless siren stopped fighting, staring at the ancient space giant, and the dragons also came to the edge of the elevator, looking at the shining distance in the distance with all kinds of complicated expressions. Starry sky.

Only the Iron Man soldiers stayed quietly in place, as silent as a tool on standby. Alice-6’s eyes were shining with distant stars. The only time she broke the silence was when the traffic cabin passed a certain height. Muttered softly in a self-talking voice: "The communication with the ironman network is interrupted... According to the preset program, it will switch to the autonomous working mode."

…

At the same time, in the center of the Gondor region, deep underground in the Tarash Plain, Ophelia, who was personally debugging equipment in a secret laboratory, suddenly blinked and muttered as if talking to herself: "With the commander The data communication of unit Alice-6 was interrupted as expected."

As her voice fell, Gawain Cecil's voice came from an iron soldier who was temporarily acting as a communicator: "Sure enough, it will exceed the communication distance of the iron man network..."

"The ancient ironman network once represented the most advanced technology on this continent, but even with such advanced technology, it never considered the communication needs outside the atmosphere," Ophelia said lightly, "Alice-6 sent back The last message of her is that the iron man units she led have entered the orbital elevator and are heading to the sky, and the actions after that will depend on the judgment of her and her subordinates."

"Is it an iron man soldier with autonomous action... and it sounds like it has been specifically adjusted for the "disconnection"?" Gao Wen's voice sounded a little interested, "As far as I know, the iron man in the Gondor period did not have this design... Is it your latest'research result'?"

"You can say that," Ophelia said casually. She continued her previous work, inspecting the weird devices that were neatly arranged like black obelisks in this huge laboratory, using her from time to time. In essence, it is a "carrier" for high-performance iron man soldiers to directly connect to the data units in these devices, while answering Gao Wen's question, "Alice-6 is a new type of iron man soldier that I personally adjusted after the end of the war. The iron people brought in this operation also have the ability to act autonomously in a disconnected state that they have never had before... The adjustment in this area is actually not complicated, I have ready-made data."

"Ready-made data?"

"From Diana, she is the first soldier ever to completely break away from the Iron Man network and achieve'personality evolution'. I have found many useful records in her core of mind," Ophelia said frankly, "Now I The data is applied to the new model, and the effect is remarkable."

"...How do I feel that your behavior is a bit unnatural..."

"It's really surprising that you said that," Ophelia's movements paused for a moment, and a smile appeared on the doll-like exquisite face, "but I strictly abide by the agreement with Diana, I did not scan her memory, did not steal any information related to Typhon, did not change her personality settings, did not touch anything she did not want me to touch, but I did not say not to scan her logic parameters, and from the results Look, I didn't use these data in places she didn't want."

"...I remember your personality is not like this, you look like a saint when you use Veronica's "vest"..."

"I learned a little bit of'doing business' experience from you, can't it?"

"...Well when I didn't say it," Gawain's voice sounded a little helpless, "You should be the nature of'Ophelia Norton' right now, and it's not bad. Let's not talk about it anyway. , What's the situation in your laboratory?"

Ophelia paused and scanned the huge underground space.

This place is located in the deepest part of the deep blue fortress, even deeper than the core control hall. The mud, rocks and layers of armor, cement and energy shields that are thousands of meters thick isolate this place, which makes it from all kinds of In a sense, they are far away from the masses of beings in the civilized world.

In the extremely spacious hall, a large number of devices that look like black obelisks are arranged in a triple concentric ring structure. There are a large number of metal guides and energy pipes inscribed with runes on the ground between the obelisks of each ring. Connected to each other, and above this large-scale, complex-structured device, you can see that there is a more complex dome structure like a rune grid on the ceiling, but the dome is obviously unfinished, and a lot of small machinery He was busy with the iron man soldiers on the scaffolding.

At the end of this laboratory, you can also see a structure similar to an "observation room". Thick walls, polymer curtain walls, and a large number of energy shield generators all explain one thing: what is going to be done in this place, It is definitely a dangerous item.

However, anyone who knows the existence of this facility is very clear: Even with such tight protection, it is probably better than nothing for the "unexpected disasters" that may occur here...

Apart from the Iron Man soldiers, there are only large and small construction machinery, as well as Ophelia herself. She shook her head slightly at this moment: "This is an extremely complex system that has not been completed yet, and it needs to be directly downloaded from The energy is drawn from the Deep Blue Well to keep it running. Even with the efficiency of the iron man, this is not something that can be done in a short period of time."

There was a few seconds of silence on Gawain's side, and then the voice came again: "Hmm...Is all the separated data ready?"

"The data is ready," Ophelia replied immediately, "I separated all the records that did not belong to the Deep Blue Well and had suspicious waveforms, and calculated that they were simulated and converted into'fields' by dark blue magic. There are a total of twelve possible results for all the required parameters, and I will test them one by one when the equipment is ready."

"Very good," Gawain said with satisfaction, and then his voice seemed to be a little emotional, "I hope this can help us find the right path..."

Ophelia was silent for a few seconds, and said softly, "You didn't put your expectations on the'Noy Civilization', did you?"

"I have expectations for them, but I never put all my expectations on uncontrollable factors," Gawain said frankly, "even if the'Noy civilization' is really completely honest and reliable, even if they are sincere and sincere. Cooperating with us and showing up all the information they have, who can ensure that they are on the right path? And...even if their path is correct, we must at least verify by our own means The ability to do it."

"I understand what you mean," Ophelia said slowly, "I will do my best to ensure that we have this ability."

"I look forward to your results, Ophelia."

After the communication was over, the hall was quiet again.

Ophelia stayed silent for a while, looked up at an iron soldier standing not far away, and beckoned the opponent to come forward.

The Iron Man soldier was immediately ordered to step forward and lift a book with a black cover and a gold title in his hands to Ophelia and open it before the cover was opened. The words "The Emperor's Words" were faintly visible on it.

Ophelia scanned the pages of the book, flipping quickly to find the entry for "Vest".

After a while, she found the corresponding interpretation, and then waved her hand to make the soldiers go back and waited while muttering seriously on her face: "It's so profound..."
