Sword of Daybreaker

While the experts of the Magic Technology Institute were busy analyzing the blueprints of the incredible alien technology, in the Thorin monitoring station in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain, messages from "Noy" were still being sent.

Bud Wendel sat in his seat, intensively monitoring the working status of a series of equipment connected to the main antenna, and in front of the printing device next to him, various technical documents including blueprints piled up. In Da Ping, many other monitors and technicians who came to hear the news also came to the hall and watched the progress of data transmission with him.

Due to the limited efficiency of the superluminal information encoding used by the Noyes, it is unknown how long this transmission process will last. Bud has already reached the time to "off work", but he has no intention of leaving his post.

Just working overtime, how could he miss this historic moment?

"The amount of these materials is amazing..." A voice came from the side, with a deep exclamation, "They actually sent all these things in one breath, but this level of technology shouldn't be some kind of... 'Core secret'?"

"Who knows," another colleague's voice sounded. "Maybe the Neumanns and ours have different ways of thinking. They probably don't think there is anything wrong with sending this core secret. Of course, it may be theirs. Something happened on the side, the situation forced..."

Bud raised his head and glanced at the two colleagues who were speaking next to him: "Don't you have your own place?"

One of the colleagues laughed and patted Bud on the shoulder: "We are off work, come and see you working overtime."

Bud: "...you will have no chicken legs to eat when you go to the cafeteria next month."

"Don’t don’t don’t, we’re just curious," the colleague immediately smiled, and then his expression became slightly more serious. In the imperial capital, in addition, His Majesty the Emperor already knows about this, and he is personally following the progress of the matter."

Bud nodded lightly. There was no surprise to this. Of course, His Majesty Gao Wen would pay attention to this matter. From a long time ago, he has shown an attitude of attaching importance to space beyond the stars, let alone now. The information from the other side of the starry sky is enough to affect the fate of the entire world.

He was just a little bit emotional, feeling that he had also become a member of this historical process in a way he had never imagined.

When he was transformed into a dark druid by the eternal sleepers, how could he think that one day he would sit at his desk and receive drawings from aliens? The transition between this can no longer be described by one hundred and eighty degrees. To use a popular phrase in neural networks today, it is like crossing a script...

A slight rubbing sound of roots suddenly came from behind, Bud condensed the thoughts that were suddenly divergent in his mind, and then heard Ms. Bertila’s voice sounded behind him: "I'll see the situation. Is the side still sending data?"

"Yes, Ms. Bertila," Bud said, nodding, and at the same time turning on another magic net terminal, so that the holographic projection showed many readings about the main antenna and the "Noy signal." "The signal strength has been maintained at A very high level, the stable transmission time surpassed the previous record, but apart from the continuous sending of these technical materials, the Neue people did not say anything."

"They seem to be... urgent." Bertila's avatar quietly watched the data projected on the magic net terminal, and in the larger and more sophisticated sense organs of her body, she could clearly feel the main antenna on her The canopy of the tree buzzed and operated, and a subtle energy shock was shaking in the atmosphere. Invisible information was projected from the distant stars and resonated slightly with the magical environment in the atmosphere of this planet. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, she It seemed that from this indescribable "quiet" I felt a...unstable emotion, which came from a civilization a few light years away, or it was just a shadow of illusion in her heart.

And at this moment, she suddenly felt a noticeable pause in the operation of the main antenna, and then, the monitoring terminal in front of Bud sent a buzzing signal representing the end of the data.

The technical files sent by the Noyes finally stopped transmitting, and the whole monitoring system was quiet for a while. All this came a little bit suddenly, so that the people gathered here did not react, they subconsciously looked towards the connection. The holographic projection on the main system at this moment has only a piece of background noise that shakes slightly.

And after this silence lasted for a few seconds, Bud suddenly heard a short tremor in the monitor headphones, and then he saw a piece of alien text appearing in the holographic projection, always paying attention to this message. The star interpreters of swift action immediately, the translation work was quickly completed, and the lingua franca appeared below the pulsating alien text in the projection

"We hope to talk to you again as soon as possible with the entire Noy civilization."

Bud and his colleagues looked at each other.

…

"This is the last word they sent and the only word this Noy civilization said during the entire transmission process." In the Magic Technology Research Institute, Jenny handed a document from the Thorin Monitoring Center to In front of Gao Wen, "The communication was cut off after this, and'they' seemed to be waiting for us to respond."

"...It doesn't seem to be right," Gawain frowned subconsciously. "The Neues may be in some trouble. I always think they are acting a bit urgent this time, and even a bit...anxious."

"I have this feeling too," Rebecca immediately nodded, "Could it be that they will soon be ushered in the magic wave?"

"Then this is by no means good news that our planet is only a few light-years away from them. Although this is an extremely long distance for mortals, on the astronomical scale, four light-years are only a few minutes away. Being swallowed by the demonic wave, then we probably don't have much safe time here," Gao Wen said slowly, "and...we are not sure at what speed the demonic wave propagates in the universe."

"Even if the propagation speed of the magic wave is determined, it is of little significance. We still have to find a way to determine the direction of the magic wave. It may spread from the direction of the frost constellation, or it may sweep through us and Noy with almost no time difference. "Human planet," Jenny looked worried, "to be sure of this, unless we build the'Magic Tide Observation Device' now."

"Magic Tide Observation Device..." Gawain repeated this word subconsciously, and then his eyes fell on Rebecca. "The data on Noy's side has been transmitted, and the star solvers will work overtime. Complete the translation of all the annotations. Once all the documents are translated, you will immediately organize them and send them to the technical team of Typhon and Baiyin. In addition, tell them that we need to evaluate these technical materials in the shortest time. The feasibility and risk level of the project."

Rebecca nodded while listening. After Gao Wen finished speaking, she hesitated to ask: "If there is no big problem with the evaluation result... You really intend to follow these blueprints to install the magic tide observation device. Is it created in a unified field with the mind?"

"According to my preliminary plan, the Demon Tide Observation Device will probably be built sooner or later, but the'Unification Field of Mind'..." Gao Wen frowned. "Let it go first, first understand its specific principles. It's so big. Something of scale... even if you want to make it, you may not be able to make it, let alone it may not be useful to us."

Speaking of this, he paused, and emphasized it again as if obsessive-compulsive disorder: "Remember, whether it is an observation device or a unified field device, we must ensure that they are'safe and reliable'."

The large amount of information sent by the Noy suddenly interrupted the rhythm of many people, but Gawain did not lose his calm in the process, no matter what trouble the Noy encountered, at least on the Loren League side, " The technical information sent by "Alien" still must be carefully and rigorously evaluated before it can enter the follow-up process. This is the basic criterion he has set from the beginning.

"Alien Science and Technology" of unknown origin, just pick it up and use it? The catastrophic consequences caused by this kind of reckless behavior are unimaginable. No matter how honest the Neue people are in the process, and how much reason they give, Gawain dare not send them casually. The blueprint that came was turned into a real thing, built on the planet under your feet, what if it was a portal? What if it is a beacon to guide the fleet transition?

But this is not because of suspicious nature, or unfounded prejudice and disgust with "alien Face the entire Cecil Empire, even the entire alliance, and countless lives on the entire planet.

To put it awkwardly, if he is a lonely adventurer, then he encounters an "Ancient Secret Treasure" whose principle is not clear. As long as the attraction is big enough, he will go up with A. The big deal is a wave of wealth and wealth. But in his current position, he really wanted to create a portal for alien invaders on his own planet, but no one would give him a chance...

After all, he himself has done the thing of "leaving a back door in foreign trade technology"...

And step back ten thousand steps and say that even if the Neues are really frank and friendly, the technology sent is indeed a good thing without any loopholes and backdoors. Gawain has to consider considering the aliens’ stuff on his own. Is it really safe and harmless on this planet? If the physiological differences between the two races are large to a certain extent, then the friendly and friendly technology for one side on the head of the other is likely to evolve into a deadly weapon made by the sea monster This is the reason why 10,000 dry ducks can be drowned in the "comfortable, safe and fast submarine".

…

The star solvers at Thorin’s "Xinghai Project" headquarters, the rune and magic technicians of the "Magic Technology Department" of the Imperial Capital, and experts in all related fields began to get busy. Everyone instantly had a reason to work overtime, and when Gao Wen returned to his study, Tyre, who was sleeping in the room for the fourth night, was also forcibly woken up.

"When can Antavien's superluminal communication array be activated again?" Looking at Miss Deep Sea Ambassador who is still sleepy, but how many have restored communication skills, Gao Wen's expression became serious, "We need to talk to Nuo as soon as possible. Yiren resume contact."

Tyre rubbed her eyes, and she finally felt the extremely serious aura of Gawain, and the whole fish also became more energetic: "So anxious...What happened to the Noyes?"

"Today they sent a large number of technical documents including hundreds of blueprints in one go, and at the end they left a message saying that they wanted to talk to us about something. I suspect that unexpected variables have appeared'over there,'" Gao Wen looked at Tyre's eyes, "We have to find a way to understand what's happening over there as soon as possible."

Tyre finally woke up completely. She blinked and recalled as she said: "According to the last news from Hathaway the Witch, the ultralight communication array can activate Antavien in two or three days. The burnt-out components in the main antenna tower have been replaced there, and only the final debugging work is left."

"Is it two or three days..." Gao Wen frowned, "but it can only be so. When the superluminal communication array is restored, we will contact Noy immediately."

Tyre nodded: "Understood, I'll go to the enlargement array and contact the sisters of Antavien later."

Gawain breathed out softly, but his frowning brows did not loosen at all. After a moment of indulgence, he couldn't help but mutter softly: "But it's not always the way..."

"Huh?" Tyre didn't understand. "What can't be a way?"

"The state of the ultralight communication array," Gawain tapped the desktop with his index finger. "It was repeatedly burned and repaired. Each time he could only communicate with the "opposite" for a short period of time, and then it would take at least a week to get it. Fixing the antenna...it's too much delay."

"This... Your Majesty did mention this to me," Tyre thought for a while, and unconsciously drew circles on the ground with the tip of his tail. "She said that the ultralight communication array is now completely operating, if you really rely on it. This kind of improvised equipment comes hand in hand with a civilization a few light years away to fight the doomsday, and an emergency situation will definitely delay major events."

Gawain's upper body leaned forward slightly: "Is there any better solution?"

Tyre opened her hand (and the tip of her tail): "The sisters on Antavien's side are already thinking of ways to modify the internal structure of the main antenna, but Hathaway said that it is very difficult to make that thing work. Miracles, and miracles are difficult to happen continuously."

"By the way...what is the reason why the main antenna was burned?" Gao Wen couldn't help but asked curiously, "Although I may not understand professional technology, I am very curious about it."

"Ah, I don’t know how to explain it in detail. I know that the reason is related to the failure of a resonant crystal at the core of the main antenna. This led to the accumulation of energy in the entire core area, and finally repeatedly penetrated something..." Tyr struggled to recall the "news" he heard when chatting with his sisters last time, and explained to Gawain, "According to the meaning of the big witch , Unless we can find a thing that has great energy density, can withstand huge energy shocks, and can maintain extremely stable energy output for a long time in a high-load system to replace this resonant crystal, otherwise the super-luminous communication array is a repair not good…"

Now she sighed: "It's easy to say, where can I find this stuff? The resonant crystal used in the main antenna is still the one we brought from the parent star..."

Hearing Tyre's babble, Gawain couldn't help but reached out and touched his chin.

"The'this thing' you said... I'm afraid we really have one in our hands..."
