Sword of Daybreaker

Since the end of the month of recovery, the weather has become warmer, and the short spring does not seem to stay in this land for much time, and summer is gradually approaching. Alternation has gradually become a less obvious concept. The majestic vitality emanating from the giant tree and the magic field covering the entire plain block the cold wind from the outside world. Under the canopy of the giant tree, warm spring and midsummer are a kind of almost eternal. cycle.

South of Solimburg, Margarita, who is also the regional consul and the commander of the Construction Corps, is personally supervising the loading of a special batch of materials into the convoy. She and her entourage are standing next to the loading area, watching the long The lifting device of the long boom lifts the tubular containers two or three meters high from the stack, and puts them lightly on the large transport vehicle next to them, and the stevedores cooperate skillfully before the ground, using locks, safety ropes and sheets. Secure those silver-grey "cans" in the middle of the carriage tray.

The person in charge of the motorcade was standing not far from her. This sturdy middle-aged man with a big beard was looking up at the huge tree canopy that covered the sky. It took a long time for him to look back. , with a sigh in his tone: "The trees in some areas of the Holy Spirit Plain have just started to flourish, but it seems that summer is forever here for you."

"It was actually a little cooler a few days ago, but like you said, after living here for a long time, you will almost forget the change of seasons outside," Margarita laughed, "Ms. Bertiera actually Considering whether to adjust the climate of the Sorin region according to the changing seasons of the outside world, the druids have assessed the ecology of the entire region and believe that the plants and animals here have adapted to the unique environment under the canopy, and there are even many animals The ethnic group has taken this place as a permanent place to spend the winter, and this plan will not come to an end."

"I heard that scholars in the northern region are studying the mechanism of the giant Sorin tree to regulate the ecology, and are planning to build a 'Yongchun Farm' artificially in the valleys of the northern region." The shredded tobacco inside said casually, "Before they had also investigated the 'Magic Ecological Dome' technology of the Typhonians, and later found that the cost of this thing was too high, and it was not suitable for the extreme situation in the north. Looking back, it was still a Druid's technology. The technology is reliable…”

"Typhon is closer to the south than us, after all, they don't need to think about growing food in the ice and snow on the far north border," Margarita shrugged, and then noticed that the loading and unloading work on the convoy's side was coming to an end, "This It's the last car, Mr. Polkoff."

The team leader known as Pokaf looked up, put his pipe in his mouth, and walked to the last transporter. The last tubular container was about to be loaded. He stepped forward and knocked on the tubular container. The outer shell of the container, the iron-grey outer wall of the latter made a slight click, and then the curved cover on its surface gently slid aside, revealing the contents inside.

It was a transparent high-strength crystal cabin, which was filled with a thin biomass solution. A brand-new synthetic brain was floating in the center of the container. Notice that the container shell was opened, and the synthetic brain, who was about to take a ride to work, was in the liquid. Shaking his body, a series of small bubbles appeared, and a nerve tentacle slightly raised Bokafu's hand when he saw it, and slapped the nerve tentacle through the thick crystal wall.

"Happy entry." The bearded team leader tapped the container with a smile, and the outer shell of the container was closed again. Watching the heavy tubular container was hoisted by the hook and sent to the The carriage tray, he turned back and said to Margarita, "Actually, as I suggested above, synthetic brains are not incapable of walking, they can even fly, and they consume two steamed buns for 100 kilometers. You can go to work by yourself, you don't need a transport fleet at all..."

Immediately in Margarita's mind, a large group of synthetic brains floated out from the biochemical synthesis cavity in the Sorin area. Several tentacles rolled up resumes, ID cards and dry food on the road, all the way to factories and laboratories. The picture of the picture, and the expression suddenly became subtle: "This... Considering that there are still many ordinary people who are not familiar with or understand the synthetic brain at this stage, and the safety issues of the synthetic brain itself when they are on their way, the plan you have conceived is at this stage. It's still early..."

"Okay, the people above me also replied to me like this at the time," Pokaf spread his hands, "but you said that ordinary people have concerns about synthetic brains, I agree, but you said that you are worried about their safety when they are on their way, then I will I don't really recognize it, you know how capable these brains are I took it down and ran away, and on the way, I saved three workers who were stunned..."

Margarita: "…"

She felt that she couldn't keep up with this weird topic, so she simply waved her hand to bring her attention back to the business: "Counting this batch, the order for the computing units required for the 'cave' No. 1 and No. 6 is completed, Shouldn't there be such a large order in the future?"

"It shouldn't be," the team leader thought for a while, and said while smoking a pipe, "At present, the computing nodes of all the caves are nearing completion, and the remaining main work is to get the life support facilities and residential areas. Most of the follow-up tasks are in this regard, and after all the transportation tasks are completed, my wife and I also signed up for the resident computing power provider of the No. 1 'cave', and I will stay there until everything is settled, so You won't see me for a long time, Ms. Margarita."

Margarita nodded lightly, and then her expression became solemn, turning to the middle-aged man with a big beard, and bowing with a serious look: "Thank you for your dedication, Mr. Bocalf."

Pokaf was stunned for a moment, then smiled slowly. He solemnly returned the salute with the attitude of a soldier, raised his hand, and the scar on his arm was looming under the cuff: "I was also a soldier, sir, we are all doing our duty..."

A gust of wind blew through the canopy of the giant tree of Thorin, and this warm wind from the plain of the Holy Spirit made the leaves in the canopy sway, and birds flew from the branches and flew past the junction of the edge of the canopy and the blue sky. Going up the canopy area, the brilliance of the brilliant sun spreads on the surface of the leaves and wooden skeleton like another piece of earth, and it shines brightly on the surface of the huge antenna device at the top of the canopy.

A low humming sound came from all over the antenna array. Powerful mechanical devices drove the crystal array to rotate precisely in mid-air. Hundreds of amplifying crystals were arranged in a signal receiving state. The weakest magic shock turned this subtle shock into words from afar, and sent it to the translation nodes in the depths of the canopy area and in front of the star solvers.

Bertila's avatar stood in the center of the command hall, presiding over another regular communication between the Loren Alliance and Noi. The main technical data had been handed over, and the atmosphere in the communication channel was relaxing a little. The holographic projection is showing the text sent by the "Witch" Nova, and the jumping letters seem to reveal a relaxed and pleasant mood: "...We have initially reproduced the phenomenon of the magic tide from you in the laboratory. , although due to time constraints, we were unable to set up a fully qualified experimental environment, but the success of the first stage is enough to prove that all the theories we have so far are correct and reliable..."

"This can clear up all the uneasiness between our two civilizations in the process of activating the 'Mind Unification Field' and 'Home Star Barrier'," Bertiera replied while considering the vocabulary. During the dialogue, as the command center of the entire communication system and a part of the hardware carrier, she naturally has this dialogue authority, "We also verified the mental unity field in the simulated environment in the laboratory, confirming that this protection method is effective against the magic tide. It is effective."

After sending this message, Bertiera took another look at the memo at hand, and then prepared the next message: "In addition, the magic tide observation device we built on this planet has entered the final stage of the project, and the last sensor The instrument is being assembled next to the vibrating focus, and it is expected to be installed and activated within 24 hours at the earliest, when Loren will have the ability to observe the magic tide in the deep space."

After the message was sent out, the communication from Noy fell silent for a while, but Bertila was not surprised by the silence. She just waited patiently for a few minutes before "hearing" the antenna array surging again. From the voice from the other side of the Xinghai, the thoughts of "Witch" Nova turned into words, and projected on the sky of the magic net terminal: "Sorry, I edited several times in a row to control my excitement, this exciting news was just in Noi. There was a cheer in the Council of Elders, and I really want you to see the scene where all the cities on the surface of Noy are starting to light up all the lights one by one!"

"I can imagine," Bertila smiled in her heart, and then sent a message while comparing the reference data on the memo, "then according to the plan, we will complete the system-wide debugging as soon as possible after the sensor array is powered on, and execute the For the first deep space observation, before that, we will contact Noi to ensure that the sensor arrays of the two planets are turned on at the same time and scan their respective target areas synchronously. According to the position and rotation direction of our respective parent stars, every forty-eighth There should be a simultaneous scan window of at least three hours within the hour, which should be sufficient to complete the first sampling."

"Yes, your data is accurate, and the three-hour scan window is enough to complete the initial sampling," Noise sent a message after a moment's delay, "and if all goes well, the sampling data obtained from the first scan will be sufficient for mental unification. The field and the home star barrier have provided 'baseline parameters', and within three days at the fastest...we will get the 'encryption key' that allows the two civilizations to survive."

Bertila looked at the beating letters in the holographic projection, and a slight sense of relaxation finally emerged from the depths of her tense nerves, even though she no longer had a heart beating like a human being, nor could she be like a human being. Like a deep breath, but this long-lost sense of relaxation still made her clearly aware that she was still "alive".

After that, she completed the follow-up conversation with Noi Civilization, including some details when the magic tide observation device was activated and the timing of the two planets again. The content mentioned in the memo was finally handed over, and the command hall Some of the seats have finally ended their busy state.

But the superluminal communication between the two planets did not hang up.

This is a new habit developed by both parties after learning of the existence of "Witch" Nova.

Leave a moment for the Noi girl who is watching the sea of ​​​​stars.

Bertiera looked at the operator seat closest to him, and Bud sat there as usual, staring at the control terminal in front of him.

She retracted her gaze and asked into the distance, "Nova, how are you over there?"

"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Bertiera, everything is fine here," Nova's response quickly arrived at Loren, "I'm adjusting a few monitors outside the satellite, trying to turn my eyes to the depths of the starry sky. ."

"Are you looking at the stars?" Bertila was a little curious.

Nova's response was delayed for a moment: "...I'm looking for you."

"Looking for us?"

"Yeah, I'm looking for you... Strictly speaking, I'm looking for the star closest to you," Nova sent a message, she seemed to be in a good mood, "The monitor of this satellite is mainly based on optical observations, I can't see planets around stars, and the gas planet you call 'sun' is hard to see, but if I could find that star you call 'O', it would be equivalent to Did you find you?"

Bertila was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "But you already know our position. The communication between the two planets is based on directional transmission. Why do we need to use optical observation to find it?"

"...It's just my sudden interest," Nova explained, "I want to see if I can see you with my 'eyes'. Of course, even if I could, that shimmer should have come from four years ago. right?"

"Indeed, after all, we are far apart," Bertila smiled in her heart, and then asked curiously, "Have you found it?"

"...Not yet, without the assistance of the system, this is more difficult than I thought," Nova replied after a long delay, "This is the first time I have tried purely manual and purely optical methods. Looking for a specific celestial body in the starry sky, I am very unskilled, and looking from this direction, your side...the celestial bodies are very dense."

She paused, and then came new news: "But I believe I can find it, just need to be familiar with the operation..."

Nova seemed to be doing something she thought was meaningful and fun.

Although she now has only one brain left and is imprisoned in the life-support system of an ancient satellite, although from the perspective of the Lorens, the "witch" is in the midst of a huge sacrifice, but Nova herself …seems to still be trying to live.

Bertila hesitated, but finally broke the silence: "Nova, you know, Loren has a very special and advanced biochemical technology."

After a while, Nova's response appeared on the communication interface: "Biochemical technology?"

"Yes," Bertiera pondered the vocabulary, "we can manufacture extremely efficient 'biochemical synthetic brains' in the factory, and we can also connect the brains of intelligent creatures multiple times without causing neurological trauma, With reconnection, we can even connect the brain directly for associative thinking, as well as create artificial bodies in culture sacs to 'reanimate' people who have died."

The communication on Nova's side stopped for a longer time than before, and it took several minutes before the news came: "It's amazing technical power! I think I understand what you mean, Ms. Bertila, what do you mean? Help me reshape my body? But the life forms of the Noi and the various races of the Loren Alliance are not the same."

"But there may be a possibility that the Loren Alliance itself has a variety of racial members, and our biochemical experts are very good at dealing with the differences in life forms between different races," Bertila said seriously, "No Wa, maybe this can be Noy and Loren's next technical exchange project after the end of the magic tide, I think you can look forward to it."

The fluctuations in the superluminal communication quieted down. Nova seemed to be thinking, and maybe talking to her compatriots. Bertila waited patiently, and she didn't know how long she waited. She suddenly felt The undulations appeared again in the antenna array.

Sounds from four light-years away were transformed into images in holographic projections.

Bertila saw a big smiling face that appeared in the holographic projection. It was like a simple drawing. After this bright smile, Nova responded: "Well, I'm looking forward to it!"
