Chapter 1121: Shadow City wasn't built in a day

In the center of the Garden of Oblivion is a silver-white pyramid building, which is the Silling Brood we are using today. 1 - Different from the Xiling Mother Hive that everyone sees on weekdays, the appearance of this pyramid building does not have those high-tech alloy shells and bright and straight energy veins, it looks more like a religious work of art, it is divided into two parts, the upper part occupies two-thirds of the height, smooth and clean, constantly changing its reflectivity under the reflection of the skylight, it looks as if there is a layer of living pictures floating on the surface, The lower half occupies a third of the height of the entire pyramid, and its surface is decorated with intricate golden reliefs and runes - but they are not decorations, but some functional facilities of the pyramid, I only know that they are related to energy collection and reuse, and a significant difference between the mysterious side and the technology side of the energy use technique is that the latter relies on the "Pasvel Ghost Energy Recharge System" to collect and circulate the energy field in the complex, The former, on the other hand, are accustomed to covering each building with simple and easily replaceable runes to spread this work across the base, so the mystical facilities built by the Apostles of Hiling always look more beautiful than the buildings on the tech side: at least they have a lot of wonderful "patterns" on their surfaces.

Designed and built by Riorelia for Bubbles over the past few days, this brand new building is essentially a brood, but with mystical peripherals that allow it to directly use the data port of the Forgotten Garden complex. In the crystal hall of the brood core. Bubbles and bubbles are ready, and here are two identical crystal prisms placed side by side, and inside are the peculiar pair of "mother and daughter". One of the bubbles had been working inside for days, while the little bubbles had just connected a few minutes earlier, and now the latter was curiously tapping at the crystal wall in front of him, and then looking at the crowd standing outside, giggling with joy.

"Are you sure Bubbles won't mess up?" In the two o'clock characters of Aurelia and Odemseus (why did I suddenly come up with such a word?) When the hard-working staff went to check the conversion device, Bingtis touched my arm worriedly. "The concubine looks at what she wants to do most now, I'm afraid it's to knock on her host slot and take it home......"

"It's okay since the connection," Sandora explained to Bingtis, "The personality of the Xiling host doesn't affect her working status, don't look at Little Bubbles, she has also performed a lot of tasks." ”

"Everything is fine, the conversion stability is in the ideal range," Aurelia flew out of the lattice room next to her. Falling behind us, "The hybrid Hiling Apostle who accepts the advanced connection is also ready. Follow the advice of Her Majesty Sandora. Let them honestly lie in the amplification node pod and not execute any additional thinking commands. ”

Sandora touched the crystal panel in front of her, and with an almost imperceptible "sizzle" sound, a set of holographic projections immediately appeared in front of everyone, showing the image of Sivis in the center, and behind Sevils, hundreds of crystal prisms could be seen neatly arranged. The venerable female adjutant took the initiative to report without waiting for me to speak: "Your Majesty." The Shadow City host array is ready, and all commanders who need to accept advanced connections are synced with the amplification nodes. ”

"I'm OK with my daughter." Not far in front of the left, the bubbles in the crystal prism suddenly opened their eyes. Her voice immediately came from all directions of the brood hall, and as soon as she spoke, the entire crystal hall was filled with dots of light, and Little Bubbles suddenly jumped up and down happily in her host slot, Bubbles couldn't help but glance at her daughter, with a helpless expression, "I'll synchronize with her first, otherwise this kid will demolish this place." ”…,

As soon as the words fell, the bubbles and the little bubbles quieted down at the same time, especially the latter, the change was particularly obvious, the first second was still jumping up and down like a restless little monkey, this second has closed its eyes like a sleeping beauty, only the spirit of the public channel in the "coo" endured, echoing everywhere......

"The Garden of the Dead is ready for five minutes."

I looked at the timing numbers on the control panel and connected to Tavel, who was now at the control center of the Death Garden, personally in charge of the massive system, or in the event of an accident. From here, we can clearly see the situation in the control hall opposite, the neatly arranged levels of monitoring and control terminals are standing in front of the white-clad technicians, everyone is like a standing statue waiting for the final order, although I can always remember the names of the huge number of research team members, but in the control hall in the picture, I can name everyone, from left to right, Tavel, Tavel, Tavel, Tavel, Ta......vel, Ta Of course, the same goes from right to left.

Tavel's body led hundreds of her mass projections to dominate the control hall, and her team of assistants were outside operating peripherals. Standing in the center of the picture is, of course, Tavel herself, her expression full of confidence: "The five-minute countdown of the system begins." ”

Although I was accustomed to the sight of this technician sister with superior combat effectiveness (in all senses) relying on a large group of quality projections to do a lot of work on weekdays, the visual impact of such a large group of Tavels standing together was still quite large, and I almost glanced at the Tavel army behind the other party with admiration, and then nodded and said: "The first task is to ensure the safety of the two worlds, and neither Sandora nor I require you to succeed once, but we will never allow any losses." ”

Tavel smiled confidently: "Please believe in my calculations, it will succeed at one time, ......"

Sandora and I said in unison: "I don't need to say the second half of the sentence!" ”

Well, if this sister's mantra is used at this time, it is really not an auspicious word......

"The final execution order of the Death Garden has been confirmed, and the system has started a one-minute countdown," a soft, undulating synthesized voice resounded in the hall, "The Shadow City host array is connected normally, and the grid connection is normal. Prepare data starts to be entered into the stack...... The Xinxiang host unit is connected normally, the grid connection is normal, and the preparatory data starts to enter the stack area...... All the information amplification nodes are named in order, and one hundred and sixty-seven key keys are logged in, and the key pre-reading is completed...... The activation code of the Garden of the Dead has been verified, and the system has started a 15-second countdown, and all operations have been irreversible...... The system starts a ten-second countdown, nine. Eight, seven...... Three, two, one – run. ”

The crystal hall suddenly resounded with a sound that continued to increase in tone, and soon became a continuous, rhythmic resonance, the sound of striking a tuning fork in a narrow corridor is characteristic of the mother hive's full power. The crystal prism on which the bubbles and the small bubbles are located rises from the bottom to the top in layers of brilliant halos, which are created under their feet. and gathered over their heads. As if doing a full-body scan, this process lasted for nearly ten minutes before slowly slowing down again, and the continuous sound in the hall turned into a low and soft sound of equipment running, and the aura on the two parent Xiling hosts was still there, but it was no longer moving fast. What is happening here is the only thing we can see directly, and as for the rest of the place, it can only be seen through the holographic projection in front of Shandora. There is no alarm message, everything is running smoothly. …,

"The system is working. Shift to pure logic mode," the sound of bubbles echoed through the hall. has changed from that smart and lively Lori voice to an inorganic stiff and straight tone, "Eighty percent of the calculation load, the estimated completion time is unknown for the time being, and I am ready to start the backup cooling system of the brood." ”

Immediately after the bubbles, the voice of the little bubbles also appeared on the radio in the Crystal Hall: "Coo, coo, coo, goo......"

Me: "......" Do you know how creepy it is when this series of notes of unknown meaning is read aloud in the same tone?

"I'll leave it to you." Although I know that the current state of the bubble will not respond to myself with the kind of "enthusiastic attitude" that makes people cry and laugh as usual, I still looked at the crystal prism in front of me and said with a smile, and the little girl in the prism opened her eyes in response and replied in an inorganic tone: "The load of this machine is 80%, and the load of the whole unit is 82.5%, and the task can be successfully completed." ”

The dissolution of the conceptual divide and the merger of the two worlds would take only a moment to complete, but before that it would take about a day to redefine and compile all the information involved, as if two nations had merged into one, and there might only be one moment recorded in the history books: the year XX, when the two nations became one. But in real history, this process may have gone through hundreds of years of running-in and conflict, and there are too many things that need to be adjusted.

But for the two parts of the parent planet, which have been separated for tens of thousands of years, this mere one-day wait is nothing.

Due to the increasing load on the system, the bubble was at its lowest level, and even the logical response was adjusted to the lowest level, no longer responding to all communication requests except for direct commands, and the newly built brood also opened all additional energy catharsis channels and heat dissipation devices, and when we left the brood an hour later, the building had already mobilized more than 30% of the energy ration of the entire Forgotten Garden, and it was still a lighter part of the entire system. What a massive undertaking is a joint system of hundreds of Hiling hosts, a Garden of the Dead, and a spiritual network of hundreds of high-ranking apostlesβ€”perhaps in the old empire, joint operations of this magnitude were not uncommon, but in the new empire, this is the first time.

Thankfully, the first attempt has so far gone as well as expected.

"The crew is already 90 percent loaded," Sandora also connected herself directly to the mother nest, monitoring the working status of bubbles and small bubbles at all times, and also being able to put her free computing power to use, when we returned to a temporary command post near the mother nest in the Forgotten Garden, she said, "This time the girl is busy, it is not easy to make a mother host have such a high load, and she has never used more than 80% of her own computing power on weekdays." ”

"Wow, the bubbles are so powerful," I was a little surprised, and at the same time a little worried, "it can't be a problem, right?" ”

"The computing power is sufficient, the information exchange has entered a stable state, there will be no major fluctuations, and Gaia is also online, she uses all her free memory to act as a redundant stack area for the entire network," Sandora tapped her forehead lightly, "In addition, there are a large number of Shiling Apostles on the edge of the network who are using their idle resources to provide auxiliary operations to the hosts." This network has a very strong fault tolerance. Not to mention...... We still have prophets. ”

Shandora's voice fell, and I couldn't help but glance to the side, Lin Xue was lazily lying on the couch with her eyes closed, looking like she was napping, but she could faintly see a white halo circulating under her eyelids. As with every key operation in the past, the Prophet was to escort the entire operation to the end, and in fact, even the previous moment of activating the Garden of the Dead was a "good day and auspicious time" that the Lady had repeatedly determined. Nothing can go wrong. …,

The Temporary Command Post is a typical Imperial Mystic building. There were several terraces in the middle and upper part that reached out to the sky, and since I had nothing to do with myself for a while, I went to the highest terrace and looked at the buildings in the clouds that were hidden by the clouds.

Although there is a system behind him that is unimaginably large and unimaginable, and its data throughput is more than all the information that some ordinary civilizations can create from birth to demise combined, everything is still so calm in the world outside this system. The space that has been renamed the "Kingdom of the Gods" is so silent that even the sound of the wind is faint. It's as if everything I activated before was an illusion. However, the great changes in the world are really happening. All around me, everything as far as the eye can see, is being recalculated, and the basic mathematical laws they perform are deduced by the mother nest shrouded in light not far away, and then added additional information and then re-injected into this world through the garden of the departed, so that the "world view of the world" of the entire world world quietly changes without you being aware of it. I don't know when it's all done. Will there be even the slightest change in the appearance of this celestial city in front of him, but one thing is for sure. For many people around him, their world is about to be turned upside down. It's like you always thought that you were an orphan who had no one to raise and who stayed in the orphanage to eat. Suddenly, I learned that I actually have at least more than 200 relatives scattered all over the world, and you have at least one oil field in Saudi Arabia, and you say that your world can be turned upside down...... Well, I'm not going to think outside the box at this point.

"It looks so deserted." I turned my head to see that Alaya had landed on the terrace at some point, followed by her sister Arelia, who was always floating vaguely. The former looked at the neighborhood below with a bit of loss in his tone. The wide plain white walkways, the promenades decorated with gold and crystals, the huge towers, and the cities in the sky, this grand complex was almost empty, but they must have been very lively in those days, perhaps everywhere you could see angels flying around or hanging on the walls, marching spellcaster troops, and emperors all over every corner of the city, who bustled in these magnificent buildings to live, live, assemble, shout the slogans of the empire, and always ready to go out and knock out the brains of whoever and whom... … There was something strange mixed in, but what a lively and prosperous scene it was.

Now, however, it looks like an empty city. Even though all the buildings are still shiny, and you won't even find a city like it in the gods and fairy tales, it's still lifeless. In the entire Celestial City, apart from our family, there were only three hundred high-ranking Xiling officers, and a small half of them were still lying in the dormant pod; The total number of former royal guards rescued from the ruins in various places is less than 70,000, and this is not counting those golems and elemental guards, but the entire celestial city is composed of the surviving facilities on the former home planet and all the imperial colonization stars in the capital universe......

"It'll be fine soon, wasn't Shadow City empty at the beginning?" I laughed and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Alayah's wings. Thinking of the scene of the Shadow City back then, I really sighed a little bit that time flies, the vicissitudes of life - the original Shadow City, just like the current Celestial City, is even more desolate and deserted than here, there is only a lonely ghost capital in the huge dark space, at that time there were only three hundred commanders around me on the whole earth, and the Shadow City is basically like its name, it is an empty city accompanied by a lonely shadow, and now, four years have passed, who would have thought that the empty city of the year would become the hub of thousands of worlds, It is called the "imperial capital" and "miracle capital" by countless people in the Hongshi Lu world? With such a huge change and rapid progress, I am afraid that it is also a miracle that only a race with unprecedented efficiency like the Apostle of Xiling can create. A bright smile appeared on Alayya's face, and he nodded vigorously to me happily, pointing to the sea of clouds in the distance: "Brother Sovereign, we will make this place as prosperous as Shadow City, definitely!" Right? ”

"Aurelia, what are you looking at? Something on my face? ”

I casually stroked Alaye's wings twice, and noticed that Aurelia, the kite angel who had been silently beside me since just now, seemed to be "looking" at me, and I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Nothing, just ...... Surprise," Aurelia's voice seemed different today, "You're so special, not quite like the king I remember......"

"yes," I laughed, "I know. From your point of view, do you think I'm qualified? ”RQ。
