Chapter 858: Crazy Thoughts
Of course, one of his main concerns right now is what exactly is the Sita quadrant for? The Ipsilons will certainly not be idle, spending a lot of manpower and material resources to make such a big project.
The ruins of Na'vi are here to refine the Zero, the Ipsi Dragon Relay Station is a super-warp jump device, and the Dyson Sphere System and the Ashtolando System are not to mention it. So what about here?
Elizabeth naturally didn't know about this question, and Zangowell certainly didn't know about it, believing that Mr. J also had questions, and he could only find the answer himself.
Fortunately, it is a very difficult thing for humans, because of the existence of the Ipsi Dragon Rune, it will be much easier.
What to do with Elizabeth was left behind him, and even the battle on the third battlefield was ignored, and all his energy was devoted to the black orb in the center of the Nessita quadrant.
"Well, I just hope it's not another 'Theta quadrant' in there." With this somewhat mocking and boring thought, he stepped onto the hexagonal platform at the end of the road.
The ε rune under his feet spread out a faint blue halo from the center, and in a flash, his figure disappeared without a trace, leaving only Elizabeth and the infected insect at the beginning of the road, still bathed in the silver light that filled the entire space.
At the same time, on the platform outside the black sphere, countless light spots converged towards the center, turning into a humanoid light and shadow, and finally turning from virtual to real and into a living person.
What you see through the sensor array of the detector and what you see through your own eyes are two different feelings.
When he was actually on the platform and watched the huge black ball floating quietly in front of him, he felt his insignificance.
The gaps between the countless blocks on the surface of the sphere radiated a dark red light, casting a red halo on the metallic silver platform, and also reflecting a vivid color in his pupils.
He stepped down from the hexagonal platform, the character behind him ε tarnished and turned dull. The golden runes that loomed on the forehead also disappeared under the skin, no longer hot, and returned to gentleness.
The gradient red and the black of the sky continued, flowed, and flickered in front of him, and there was a kind of shocking beauty.
He didn't revel in such a spectacle, burrowed into the crystal track next to him, and boarded the solo train. Type a few Epsilon characters in the control panel. The energy ring matrix behind the launch platform resembling a rotating drum magazine lit up with a soft light, and the fully transparent one-man train left the launch platform and shot slowly and quickly along the crystal track towards the location of the black sphere.
The scenery on both sides flew backwards, almost turning into light and shadow as the train increased in speed. The faint red is intertwined with the thick white, which is very eye-catching and not dazzling.
It's just that Tang Fang's gaze has been focused on the black sphere that is getting bigger and bigger in front of him, and is rapidly engulfing the horizon.
The closer you get. The more you can feel its restlessness, like a black planet with its skin torn apart, and the dark red color that only magma can only be found swimming in the cracks.
It's just that it's not hot, it's cold.
The silver ball in the outer west tower quadrant rotates slowly, while the black ball in the inner west tower quadrant is stationary...... At least in Tang's eyes, it is static.
When the black and brown completely obscured the bullet crystal window at the head of the train, the scene on both sides no longer flew upside down, but turned into a backward stream. It becomes a step backwards again, and finally freezes.
The doors fall automatically. He stepped out of it and re-onto the platform, but he had reached the core of the black ball.
Retracting his gaze from the surface of the black ball, it landed on an endless platform, which was wider than the black ball, for the size of a human. It's like a piece of land floating in the sky.
Compared to the annular orbit outside the silver ball in the Outer West Tower quadrant, this place is very empty, and the emptiness is a little panicking. Even in the area near the black ball, there are only a few broken engineering facilities. He hadn't even found a console, or psionic flames. Let's find out what kind of place the West Tower quadrant is.
This monotony to the point of making people feel a little panicked emptiness was not alleviated until entering the connecting passage.
Viewed vertically, the hook-shaped platform meets the black ball with a crystal rope-like structure.
It was, of course, not a crystal rope, but a path to the black ball, measured in kilometers. Some of them have broken and are only half suspended in the air, while others are intact and reach the surface of the black ball.
In this passage, which is composed of steps, walkways, and circular crystal walls, there are many stone carvings, especially in the broken passage, the largest number of stone carvings.
Elizabeth didn't know these stone carvings, but Tang Fang knew very well. They were the same statue guards he encountered at Na'vi, and he almost killed him, Hausen, and Aros.
As can be seen from the statue guard assembly line seen at the Ipsi Dragon Relay Station, this is supposed to be a defensive robot made by the Ipsi Dragons. But he never understood where the Epsilon rune on his forehead came from? If it was from the statue guards, it doesn't make sense at all. Obviously, only the Ipsi Dragons have golden runes, and the statue guards have the most psionic flames.
What about psionic flames......
Wait, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
There is a study in the human world that can be described as "crazy" or "sane", which combines the human body with machinery to help those who have been disabled by war or accident to live a normal life and enjoy the rest of their lives.
In fact, the so-called artificial organs, prosthetics, power-assisted devices, etc., can be said to be an alternative "human-machine combination".
Philosophy of life aside, from a medical point of view, this is not called madness, but rather a very rational research that can benefit mankind. However, there is information that the Phoenix Empire is using this technology in the military sphere.
This is not to say that they are working on a new generation of power armor, but rather to fuse the flesh and blood of humans with cold machines to create a soldier with special abilities to replace bulky power armor.
There is no doubt that this is a kind of research that tramples on the dignity of human life, similar in nature to the research of human cloning by the Morris Industrial Federation, and should be resisted and punished.
If it is the Starlink period, with the approval of the Federal Parliament, the government will use military force to deal a fatal blow to the organization. However, in the current era of the Helenbuir region, the Phoenix Empire, as a country with very strong military power, will take the condemnation of the international community seriously.
Countries such as the Charles Federation, the Republic of Dolanx, and the Star Alliance that believe in the supremacy of man are in a weak position compared to the powerful countries in the Hillenbuir region. Saliva can't kill.
Tang Fang thought of the Phoenix Empire's human-machine hybrids to the Dragon Knights, Immortals, and Stalkers of the Star Spirit Clan in StarCraft, all of which were transformed from injured Star Spirits.
Then he thought of the electronic eyes of the Terran ghost. Hores? Warfield's robotic arm.
If both humans and astral spirits can combine themselves with machines, why can't the Ipsilons?
At the thought of this, he shuddered, shocked by his thoughts. If these speculations are true, then wouldn't it mean that the statues he saw in the Ashtolando Basilica were guarded when he was in the "Lost Lands". Actually, they're all Epsilons?
In other words, when I was in Na'i Star, I killed two Ipsi Dragons with my own hands?!
However, unlike the cyborg units of the Terrans and the Elstar Spirits, it seems that the Ipsi Dragons implanted the soul-carrying golden runes into the Statue Guards with the help of psionic flames, rather than allowing the machines to connect to their own bodies.
On the question of psionic flames and golden runes, another question came to his mind.
In the deepest part of Na'vi's ruins, he had connected to psionic flames to control the zero-prime isotope refinery to reverse-act the earth's core. Achieve the goal of detonating the entire planet. At that time, I followed in the footsteps of an Ipsisaurus maiden named Liana in the process, and saw many fragmented memories of the Ipsisaurus civilization.
'M afraid...... Not only does the psionic flame in the chest of the statue guard have the Ipsi Dragon rune, but even the psionic flame in some special equipment also hides the soul of the Ipsi Dragon, replacing the old-fashioned AI.
It turned out that he had been in contact with the Ipsilons for a long time, more than once, only because of ignorance. So didn't realize it.
The Star Spirit can teleport away through the Kaedalin Crystal Set before taking fatal damage. Then he was made into a dragon knight or an immortal. The Ipsi Dragons can of course escape from danger by teleporting beacons, and then become statue guards, or similar systems IA.
But there was one thing he couldn't understand, since the Epsilon people could implant the Epsilon Rune into the psionic flame to preserve their consciousness, why not communicate with him? Judging from the experience of the Nami Star Zero Element Isotope Refinery at the beginning. The psionic flame should contain Liana's soul.
She showed herself so many memory pictures, but didn't communicate with herself, why? I can clearly understand the Ipsi dragon language, and I also know the Ipsi dragon script.
Could it be that the extradimensional Vientiane Sphere system hurt her, or ...... Kill her?!
He thinks it's a possibility. Because the extradimensional Vientiane Sphere system can draw out the Epsilon runes in the Statue Guardian Psionic Flame and send them into the electron sea. It is difficult to guarantee that the flow of faster-than-light electrons that break the current cosmic constant will not harm their souls.
Could it be that he unknowingly became an Ipsi dragon killer? Consider the rumor that has been widely circulated in the outside world, that he is a hybrid of the Ipsilons and humans. This...... It's kind of ironic.
"If all this were true......"
He shook his head and sighed, not knowing whether to blame himself, feel guilty, be calm, or be happy.
Remorse and guilt for killing Leana, and perhaps other Ipsilons. Calm and glad because he understands the extreme attitude of the Ipsilons towards the alien race, if the Ipsilonians know about the existence of the earth, will they treat humanity like they did to the previous civilizations that were destroyed by them? He didn't know the answer......
With this complicated feeling, I left the engineering platform and walked onto an intact crystal channel.
Compared to other passages, the one he chose was only guarded by three statues from the beginning to the end, because the speculation just now made him have a mixed emotion about these statues that he didn't pay attention to before, and he observed more carefully and seemed more respectful.
In any case, human civilization has been able to develop at such a rapid pace thanks to the acquisition of the heritage of the Ipsilons. Although their attitude towards the alien race is unpleasant, it is a thing of the past, and there is no dispute with humanity.
He can't do this kind of thing to enjoy the fruits of other people's labor for free, and to find a reason for himself not to be grateful, and to enjoy it with peace of mind. Although you can't repay them, at least you have to pay respect.
He noticed that the statue guards in the Arctic of Nesita were very different from those seen in the Temple of Ashtolando in the Lost Lands, which were relatively intact, and most of the statue guards had no visible scars on their bodies, not as tragic as the statue guards in the Lost Lands.
What made him strange was that judging from the broken crystal channel, as well as the damaged aircraft and various facilities in the Outer West Tower quadrant, it was clear that a great battle had been staged here, but why, like the Lost Land, there were only the "corpses" guarded by statues, but the corpses of the enemies could not be seen?
What really happened here many years ago?
With mixed emotions and growing questions, he left the crystal tunnel and arrived at the location of the black ball.
The change in the direction of gravity is slightly uncomfortable, but fortunately, it is fleeting and not serious.
From a distance, black and red are intertwined, giving people a terrifying feeling, but when you get closer, you can feel the coldness and hardness of the soles of your feet, and the terrifying feeling is slightly lightened, replaced by depression.
There were several detectors suspended in the airspace outside the black ball, carefully scanning every inch of "land" under Tang Fang's feet in order to find the way to the core of the black ball. But the results were disappointing, and they found nothing. The structure of the black ball is so tight that there is no weak point or entrance-like facility, and even the high-precision sensor array configured by the detector cannot penetrate into the sphere to figure out what is at its core.
The abundant white light falls on the black skin and dark red textures, which has a very strange feeling. Tang Fang glanced at the boundless void, stopped, and his gaze converged on the surface of the black ball, and said in his heart, no wonder Zangowell and Mr. J found nothing, and even the detector of the star spirit couldn't find the entrance, let alone these people.
When he first entered the West Tower quadrant, he thought that the black ball was a device that simulated the function of the earth's core, until the detector sent the scan results, and he realized that it was not.
The black ball is very "quiet", with only a very faint amount of energy radiation. The device used to simulate the characteristics of the planet's gravitational and magnetic fields is not it, but the spherical barrier of the outer west tower quadrant.
Although it is unlikely that the appearance of the black ball will endanger the environment on the planet, he is still reluctant to use brute force to break the black ball. Since the Ipsilons have made it like this, there must be a reason for them.
But on the other hand, he couldn't find a way to understand the situation of the black ball, which made him very irritable and unwilling. (To be continued.) )
