Sword of Daybreaker

The bad situation today?

When this sentence appeared on the holographic projection, Bud Wendell frowned insignificantly. As the "first recipient" of the Nuoyi before sending a large number of technical data, he has been privately since that day. Li has guessed more than once what happened to the distant alien star a few light years away, and a lot of disturbing speculations have arisen from it, and now it seems...Noy's side is really out there. Problem!

As the commander-in-chief of the scene, Bertila immediately ordered the text to be edited to inquire about the "bad situation" in Noy's population. But before the star breakers could finish this work, the main antenna of Thorin received Noy. The next message from someone:

"When the communication was interrupted, we sent you a lot of technical information. Have you ever received it?"

Bud raised his head and looked in the direction of Bertila, and saw that the on-site commander nodded slightly at this side: "Answer them, and by the way ask what the information really means."

A corresponding message was quickly edited and sent to a distant alien: "Yes, although our communication system has temporarily disabled the sending function, the receiving function has been kept on. We have received 927 photos. A large number of technical documents including the blueprint have caused us a lot of confusion."

Noy’s response did not make people wait too long. After a while, the new text was displayed on the communication interface, which was quickly translated into lingua franca: "We have no intention of causing trouble to you, but please understand. Time is running out, whether it is for you or for us. We must act immediately against the magic tide. In order to show our sincerity and to allow you to start the evaluation of the entire project as soon as possible, we have sent A full set of technical data including the Magic Tide Observation Device and the Unified Field System of Mind.

"All the key technologies in these materials have been annotated, and a large number of forward instructions for reference that may be helpful to you are attached, and if you have any doubts in the process of evaluating these materials , We are also willing to provide maximum help and support. Please believe in our frankness and goodwill. Everything we do is to allow civilizations on both planets to survive. Our only hope is to be affirmed as soon as possible. reply…"

After this long message, the headquarters hall was a little quiet for a while. Many eyes were watching the pulsating characters on the holographic projection. Everyone seemed to feel from the characters that they came from a few light years away. , A heavy sense of tension and urgency, but the Bertila Reconciler team as the commander-in-chief was not idle. In just a dozen seconds later, a new, holographic projection interface appeared. Message sent to Alien: "What exactly happened? We must know before we can proceed with the next evaluation."

"...Our observer plan failed. The spacecraft flying to the observation point disintegrated due to a serious system failure in the final deceleration stage. The last message sent back by our gods before communication was interrupted was that'the magic wave will arrive within a year.' "

…

In the study, Gawain's hand holding the document became stiff for a moment, and Amber, who was standing next to him, interrupted his breathing for several seconds. After a particularly uncomfortable and depressing silence, her exclamation sounded in the study. Voice: "Mom..."

In the next second, this pale-faced Shadow Assault Goose almost jumped up: "One year! One year the magic wave is coming?! And the Observer plan of the Noy has failed?! This... This...I have nowhere to run!"

Gawain's heart is also turbulent. He dare to say that he has rarely experienced such turbulent thoughts since he opened the coffin for a few years, but when he heard Humber's words, he still couldn't help but feel so relaxed. This guy is in such a situation. I can't even forget the option of "running". This persistence has somewhat loosened the atmosphere.

But this time, he didn't have much energy to complete the cross talk with Amber. He just glared at the half-elf who was obviously flustered, and his voice was low and serious: "Don't think about running off at this time."

Amber suddenly widened his eyes: "What should I do? The gods of the Noyes are over!"

"What caused the failure of the observer plan was the failure of the spacecraft in the final deceleration phase, not the magic tide. There is no evidence that the magic tide can destroy the gods. Instead, there are many historical data that prove that the gods can produce the minds of mortals when the magic tide comes. A certain'protection' effect," Gawain shook his head, "We need to figure out what information is still in the hands of the Noyes. Bertila, what's the situation on your side?"

Bertila’s voice was heard from the Monet terminal on the side: “The air was filled with tension. Everyone was uneasy by this sudden news, but you don’t have to worry about all those who can participate in the Xinghai Project. Resolute and sane people, and the star solvers have now begun to prepare the next communication text."

Gawain nodded slightly. The explosive news sent by the Noyes did not affect his reason and calmness. While maintaining his brain's fast thinking, he patiently waited for the new printing device connected to the Monet terminal to spit out new information. Transcripts of conversations, and after a agonizing wait, he finally heard a pleasant creaking sound from the small machine.

A document was spit out from the printing mouth, and the warm paper was covered with clear characters

Star interpreter: "This news caused a lot of shock. Our leaders are paying attention to this exchange. We want to know more details about the failure of the Observer project and your gods... Hope this is not an offense. We want to know. Is your **** "attacked" by the demonic wave? What is his current state?"

The Neuren’s response was slightly delayed: “It happened shortly after the first exchange ended. Now our scholars have confirmed the cause of the disintegration of the spacecraft. It has nothing to do with the demonic tide, but simply... a system failure. Our gods are now there. Lost contact with the home planet. We don’t know his state. The distance between us has blocked our contact. We only know that He has been flying towards your vicinity before the spacecraft disintegrated... Sorry, we can’t do this anymore. Provide more information."

Star interpreter: "Thank you very much for your answers. So about the magic wave, will it arrive on your planet in a year? How far is it from our planet?"

Noy: "Yes, the magic wave will reach our planet in one year, and within half a year after that, it will sweep through the planetary system you are in. This is based on the relative positions of the two planets in the universe. The conclusion calculated by the comprehensive calculation of the direction of the spread of the magic wave and its propagation speed may have a certain error, but the deviation will not exceed 5%."

After a few seconds of blank space, the Noyes sent new content: "Although our'observer' failed to reach the final observation position, he has collected enough to calculate near the nearby point. The data of these early warning information. If you still have questions about this, we can consider providing you with all the original parameters, and even we can provide all the knowledge we know about the magic tide. Of course, the premise of this is that we You must get your affirmative answer to'cooperation'."

The printing device stopped, and Bertila's voice came into Gavin's ears after a while: "We hope to get your direct order."

Gawain took a breath.

He knows that everyone in front of this communication system at this moment has ushered in a crucial moment, and in front of this moment, whether it is Bertila as the commander-in-chief or everyone involved in the lobby of Thorin's headquarters None of them have enough "volume" to determine the further development direction of this matter. After that, how to continue to communicate with the Noi people, I am afraid he will have to personally direct it.

"...We need these data and knowledge," Gao Wen finally broke his silence. "The more information we have, the more opportunities scholars will have to analyze the true trends of the magic wave and understand the principles behind those technical documents.

"Tell them that our scholars have already begun to study the blueprint of the'Magic Tide Observation Device'. Once we understand its principles, we will begin to choose a suitable location for construction. Before that, we hope to share it with the Nuoyi civilization. Regarding the knowledge of the magic tide, "Loren" also has his own research and understanding about the magic tide."

The star solvers quickly edited the text sent to the Noy Civilization according to Gawain’s semantics. In an energy surge of the Antavien antenna array, the voice representing the "Lorran Civilization" was turned instantaneously. It was sent to the depths of the Xinghai, after which there was waiting and silence for a few minutes, until the Noy's reply appeared in front of Gao Wen.

"We will package the original data returned by the observer and send it to you after the end of this communication."

After this message, the Noyes immediately sent a question: "As for more information about the magic tide, we first want to know how far you have been in your'research and understanding' of the magic tide?"

Gawain tapped the tabletop unconsciously with his fingers. This is his habitual movement when thinking. Amber next to him raised his eyebrows after seeing the question raised by the Noi people: "Is this some kind of... bottoming out? "

"We have been exploring their bottoms, and of course they should also be curious about our bottoms. If they never show interest in this aspect, then the situation will be suspicious," Gawain said casually, and then he sat in the chair. I adjusted my sitting posture and looked at Bertila in the projection above the magic net terminal, "Send them my next words intact.

"Our planet was swept by a smaller demonic wave'front tremor' hundreds of years ago. At a huge price, we survived and recorded the demonic wave swept by the device. The "waveform" of time on the planet, and now we have a laboratory dedicated to research on it, and we have advanced to the stage of trying to "artificial magic tide" in the laboratory environment."

This piece of information was quickly sent to the other side of the Xinghai Sea, and this time, the Noyes responded extremely quickly, and made no secret of their astonishment: "Have you recorded the fluctuation data of the Demon Tide?! First-hand data? How did you do it?"

"We can partly control the planetary power system of the parent star under our feet. When the magic wave swept across our homeland, it left a'shadow' in the huge magic power cycle of the planet itself," Gao Wen thoughtfully responded. The sentence, "Further details are temporarily confidential, but after receiving your'observer raw data', we will send you this information. Please forgive us for being cautious. In our way of thinking, it is necessary Your prudence is also part of mutual frankness."

This time, there was a long period of blank waiting on the Noi’s side, and it was not until a few minutes later that the printing device in front of Gawain spit out the reply text translated by the star solver:

"We accept and approve of this caution."

Gao Wen meditated, and he quickly thought of a new question: "If we have the'magic wave fluctuation data' we recorded, we still need two observation points four light-years away to'measure' the magic wave. NS?"

After sending out the question, he waited patiently.

On such a solemn occasion, he suddenly felt a strange relaxation and calmness.

Aliens... The strange races that are a few light years away seem to be doing their best to fight the disaster that is approaching their home planet. This feeling was not obvious in the last communication, but in this communication In the middle, he has clearly sensed the urgency of the "Noy".

This may be a bit disturbing, but Gawain suddenly felt... these "Noyes" seemed to be a little more alive in his own eyes.

They are also afraid, they can survive, and they are also cautious about the "Lorren civilization", but they have to show all their candor in the face of the situation, hoping to cooperate with alien races as soon as possible, and... they seem to also do it for themselves The **** of sorrow left and felt sad, even though it was not so obvious.

Now, Gao Wen still dare not jump to conclusions to judge whether this group can be regarded as friends, but at least, this group looks "like people", which is enough to let him breathe a sigh of relief.

There was a sudden creaking sound from the printing device, and the black writing on the white paper appeared line by line in Gawain's eyes:

"Our scholars conducted a brief discussion and concluded that we still need qualified observation points.

"The'magic wave fluctuation data' recorded on the planet does not represent a complete wave of the wave, it can only help us restore a partial shock form of the wave, and it is a'historical shock form', this' The local model will help us verify protection technology, verify many theories, and even help us correct observations on the four-light-year scale, but it still cannot replace the latter.

"The span of a basic'waveform' of the magic wave is four light years. This is the most precious and unmistakable knowledge left to us by the pioneers. The influence of other high-energy celestial bodies will make it continue to undergo subtle changes, and if this "subtle change" is not calibrated, it will cause the protection technology to fail. Our previous pioneers... have paid a heavy price on this. .

"Therefore, we must obtain the real-time observation results at two measurement points four light-years apart. The real-time measurement of the magic tide data is a prerequisite for the protection technology to take effect."

Amber leaned her head and looked at the reply on the black and white paper seriously. This did not involve professional technical terms, so she quickly understood it, and then opened her eyes wide: "It actually involves the ' Real-time changes'?! No wonder they have to set up these two observation points. This...this condition is really harsh..."

Gao Wen shook his head: "It's really harsh and this is the consistent way our world treats sentient beings."
