Sword of Daybreaker

To be honest, when he saw the handwriting that appeared on the desktop, Gao Wen’s heart was not as calm as he showed it-although he said that the magic goddess had to thank himself a few minutes ago, he really did not expect the other party to be really. Thank you one...

Is this the "character" of the magic goddess? It feels really different from Amorn or Naritel Duvalt...

But even if there are a lot of messy thoughts in his heart, he still controls the change of his expression well. After all, there are still many people in the room. He still has to maintain the dignity of people in such occasions.

"Ancestor," Hetty noticed Gavin's movements on the desk and couldn't help asking curiously, "What happened...ah? What's wrong with the table?"

Gao Wen glanced down at the table. The new desk, which had not been replaced for a long time, was first engraved with a thank you by the goddess of magic, and then he was wiped away with a layer. There was a big pit in the middle, which was used as a desk for the emperor. It seemed like a big deal-it made him feel a pity: "Just... there were mosquitoes."

The three chief executives present were dumbfounded: "..."

This is obviously not easy to believe, but since the ancestors/empire emperors have said that there are mosquitoes... then there are really mosquitoes.

"Cough, back to this table..." Gao Wengan coughed twice, wanting to end this embarrassing topic as soon as possible, "Well, change the tabletop."

"Yes... Ancestors," Herty nodded, and then hurriedly followed what Gavin showed-and ended the current topic stiffly, "Then about your plan to travel to Tallonde..."

"That's exactly what I'm going to say," Gao Wen nodded immediately, receiving Hetty's words, "According to the agreement made with the'representative' of Tallonde before, after the "god burial" of the goddess of magic, I It’s almost time to leave — of course not immediately, we can still prepare, but after all, it is a promised thing, and I don’t plan to procrastinate too much.”

"You really decided to go to that... mysterious Tallonde?" Although Baldwin knew that this was a good decision, he couldn't help asking more.

"You don't have to be so nervous-Tallonde is not God Realm or Hell, it's just another kingdom that is also on this planet," Gao Wen said without a hassle. "The Dragon Race is indeed a mysterious race, but They are also a civilization that can communicate, and we can formally establish diplomatic relations with the Principality of the Holy Dragon, so it is the correct state of mind to regard Tallonde as a'country'."

Standing next to him, Victoria with no expression on her face broke the silence: "In the northern realm, there have been many legends about the "dragon" since ancient times. Although most of them are nonsense, the legend itself can reflect a lot of information- —Dragon is a mysterious, but actually a race that has been active on the mainland of Loren and the border of human civilization. They have a mysterious purpose, and we don’t know anything about it...Your time in Tallond The brigade may help humans understand what the dragons want to do, but they must also be prepared to face risks."

"This is of course," Gao Wen nodded slightly, and then looked at Victoria's crystal-clear and indifferent eyes. "For this trip to Tallonde, the empire's internal affairs have basically been arranged, I I believe you will take care of daily state affairs on the day I leave temporarily, and besides... I have a special task for you."

Victoria immediately stood upright, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face: "Please tell me."

"You don't have to be so nervous," Gao Wen waved his hand. "I just hope you make sure that all the magic net hub towers in the north are in the best state, and adjust all the crystal arrays on the north coast to let them listen to the direction of the north pole with the highest sensitivity Signal-at the same time, I will also bring a set of the most advanced magic network terminal to keep in touch with the North Coast."

"You intend to maintain contact with the empire in this way?" Victoria frowned slightly. "... IMHO, this should not be feasible. It completely exceeds the communication distance of the existing magic network hub and is vast. There are still very strong disturbances on the ocean, not to mention a storm in the middle..."

"Of course I know," Gao Wen interrupted the other party. "I wanted to take this opportunity to collect data on the Magic Interference and the magical interference in the marine area, especially the latter. This part of the data is very useful, and we are in urgent need of it. The offshore route leading to the moss forest in Beigang has already started trial operation, but the progress of data collection in the distant sea has been slow, and it is difficult for our existing technology to collect the magic parameters outside the Violet Strait-exactly, this time the Dragons provide us It's a'smooth car'."

"It turns out that...I understand," Victoria lowered his head. "I will do what you ordered."

"Well. As for my contact with China, you don't have to worry about this," Gao Wen nodded, then said, "Dragons have the technology to maintain communication across the endless sea, and I will leave a'Mithril Ring'." , Will be kept by Hetty, and use it to contact me in special circumstances."

He then discussed some preparation details with Heti and other three people. For the time being, it was the last time to confirm the arrangement of domestic affairs before leaving. After the discussion came to an end, Hetty exhaled slightly and shook his head helplessly: "No matter how you arrange it, you always feel that this is a hasty journey..."

Gao Wen smiled: "It's really hasty, but there won't be many things in the world that can develop as we expect."

Hetty nodded helplessly, but soon asked like a caretaker butler: "So the entourage of this trip... Are you sure you only bring Amber and Veronica?"

"Did I still take the entire Imperial Guard to'guest'?" Gao Wen looked helplessly at Herty, who was obviously too nervous. "I was invited to be a guest in Tallond, not an attack on the dragon kingdom. In the past, the Dragon Cave expedition, too many entourage can not come in handy, so it is enough to bring Amber and Veronica-Amber is clever and good at investigating, Veronica is more familiar with God’s things, right I think it is right."

Hetty thought about it, and finally bowed her head and said, "Since this is what you mean..."

"We can stop talking about this first," Gao Wen waved his hand, and then his face became serious. "A report came from Sorinburg today. I plan to discuss it with you."

"Solimburg?" Herty looked puzzled, but she reacted almost instantaneously, with a little speculation, "About the mysterious signal I heard before?"

"Yes-that mysterious signal," Gao Wen looked serious, and reached out to draw a copy from some of the organized documents next to him. "Many scholars in the field of cryptography and writing have failed to study from those for a long time. Clues were found in tremors of unknown significance, but Bertilla opened a new path, and she seemed to find a certain pattern from those tremors..."

As soon as his words fell, the three big consuls on the scene approached. Even Victoria, who had almost no expression on his face, had a faint expression of curiosity on his face. Obviously, there were more than just a nerve caught by the mysterious signal Those experts and scholars.

Gao Wen did not deliberately appease people, he simply unfolded the sorted document, took the most important page out of the clip, turned it on the desk, and pushed it to Hetty and others before.

"What is... what?" Baldwin Franklin looked at the content on the piece of paper in confusion. He looked at a weird picture, which looked like a square made up of a series of small dots. There is a short diagonal line next to the square that seems to be unfinished-the line is also composed of a series of small dots. In the blank space next to the picture, you can see some legends of tremor ripples, marked with descriptions such as tremor cycle and tremor category.

Not only Baldwin, Herty and Victoria are obviously equally confused after seeing this.

"This is what Bertilla "reverted" from those signals, an incomplete picture," Gao Wen said, and briefly explained the "technical ideas" mentioned in the document, "she directly converted the tremor It became a picture, using a kind of "interpretation rule" that no one had thought of. She regarded tremor and white noise as dots and blanks, respectively, and outlined it with the clock sequence of the signal itself..."

Bertilla’s approach is actually not complicated. The people on the scene are smart people who are good at mathematics and technical deduction (except for the amber standing by the window), so Gao Wen simply explained a few words, the three big ruling The officer fully understood the connection between the picture and the mysterious signal.

Hetty couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at the picture with an incredible look: "It's so simple? The essence of this signal turned out to be a picture?!"

"It's unbelievable, but this is probably the truth," Baldwin said thoughtfully. "It's impossible to get such a neat picture by random testing. The perfect shape of this square shows that Berthila's idea is correct- -There is a picture hidden in the signal, which is really...interesting."

"What is the significance of this picture?" Hetty frowned, "Who did this kind of thing?"

"It is obviously not complete, there are lines that have not been completed next to it. Bertilla believes that we have only received a small piece of content in the complete signal, and that the signals we have received several times should be different'paragraphs'— —It's a pity that the previous two signals were not clear enough or were not recorded in time, so the only sample she can use for analysis is the content received on the 32nd of this month," Gao Wen said casually, "and based on the current record and analysis For these things, Bertila guessed that the complete form of this picture might be some kind of design drawings...Of course, this guess is just for reference, and there are too many subjective assumptions."

"The drawings...although subjectively conjectured, this statement is really quite attractive," Baldwin shook his head. "In short, no matter what this thing is, it is obviously from the hands of intelligent creatures... send this The signal, the sender must have a purpose, the other party wants to convey some kind of information to us... or to any unspecified target, a target capable of receiving and translating this information..."

"This is also my opinion," Gao Wen said. "I think this signal is most likely to be uninterruptedly'broadcasting'. It is always on and continues to publish this'drawing', and the reason why we only receive it occasionally Some of these fragments should be because our magic net crystal array is not specifically used to receive this thing-everything is just a coincidence.

"This is what I want to tell you: we have to find a way to reproduce this kind of "coincidence" stably.

"These signals are very unusual, and I believe you can feel this too. Whether it is for academic research or to eliminate the hidden dangers of the magic network communication system, we all need to investigate the secrets behind these signals. The capture, tracking and research of these signals are listed as a formal and long-term project, and the planned continuous interception is carried out within the range covered by the magic net.

"This project is called the "Listen" plan.

"So far we don't know where to start, so I asked Bertila to find all the operating parameters when the signal was captured by the main hub of Sorin, as well as the data of the weather, magnetic field, magic environment and other data at that time. Sorin There may be many "coincidence factors" that the main hub receives the signal, which may be related to the orientation or combination mode of the crystal array at that time, it may be related to the working state of the magic net in the Sorin area at that time, and may even be related to the weather and wind direction at that time. We don’t know which data is useful, so we can only record it all and try it all.

"Without affecting the daily operation of the Imperial Demonnet, let the hubs and nodes that have spare power adjust to the operating state as close as possible to the'Solin standard parameters', and see if we can listen to anything, even when it is time We didn’t find out that we at least conducted a running test on the whole magic net."

As Gao Wen said, he looked at Victoria who was listening carefully.

"Victoria, the northern border is the key test area-because the first anomalous signal was received at the Winter Castle. Although you have only received it once and the signal status is extremely poor, we still have reason to suspect Wintercastle’s environment may just be suitable for listening to this abnormal signal, so you should pay more attention to this matter."

Victoria immediately ordered: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Wen nodded. He exhaled and looked away from the three people in front of the desk. Then he reached out and took out three identical documents from the drawer under the desk and placed them in Heti et al. before.

"This is a copy of the Sorinburg report, and it also includes more details of the "listening plan" and the "standard parameters" organized by Bertila. You can call a technician to take a look back. I will leave for the time being. During this time, you will begin to prepare for this plan.

"Then I talked about it today. If there is nothing else, just go and do your own thing.

"The main process of ‘God’s Burial’ has ended, but there is still a lot of finishing work before the sun goes down, and it’s up to Hetty to do this.”

The three chief consuls took orders and turned to leave, but when Victoria was about to walk out of the room, Gao Wen suddenly stopped her again.

"Victoria, wait a minute."
