"Now," Shallow bit his finger and looked at me weakly, "now it's in our hands." ”

Yes, the original of that message, the information recorded in the database of detectors salvaged from the Gate of the Abyss, is now in our hands, spanning tens of thousands of years of historical cycles, from the old empire to the new empire, opening and ending a crazy history, it came to us.

“…… Block all networks, close the space where the Green Star is located, and all fleets that have been in direct contact with the planet after the Green Star database is opened, immediately land on the surface of the Green Star, and prohibit contact with the outside world. ”

Sandora didn't hesitate, and a series of orders went straight down, and then I found an opportunity to interject: "What then, this really works?" The abyss, hiding in a text message, and then jumping out to pollute the real world or something......"

"Didn't they just do that?" Sandora glanced at me, "They once polluted the entire kingdom along the spiritual network of the empire, and the spiritual network can accommodate them, so why can't they in a word?" The abyss can be hidden in the invisible in many cases, since it can pollute everything in the real world, then anything that exists in the real world, whether tangible or intangible, or even just a sentence, a concept, a well-known word, can be used as a carrier of the abyss, and the shallow is right, this information still comes from the bottom of the abyss, maybe it can really hide all detection methods. ”

This time, even I got nervous, shallow, shallow, but really a guy who didn't make a sound, a blockbuster, this girl's magical brain-jumping ability really opened an amazing horror story. The only thing I'm glad about now is that, thanks to a shallow reminder, we've snuffed out this weird and hair-raising possibility: even if the abyss is really hidden in that message, it won't have a chance to leave the Green Star, and whatever scientists read from the database is temporarily isolated, according to a decree passed two years ago, after the discovery of the relics of the old days. Anything extracted from the old empire would not be rushed into the new empire database until Sandora or my approval was obtained, which was originally intended to prevent conflicts between the operating protocols of the various devices of the old and new empires (aka the legendary driver bug), and now, this cautious measure may have stifled a potential danger.

Green Star's communications with the outside world were all cut off, and Sandora only used her special spiritual frequency band to issue a safe and reliable announcement to the outside world: there was an emergency at the survey site, and Shadow City was temporarily put under martial law, before receiving personal authorization from the head of the empire. Martial law is not lifted, and no one is allowed to contact Green Star. After completing this announcement, Sandora had the time to turn to Tavel: "Where's that message?" ”

"It's stored in the database," Tavel said, recognizing the severity of the problem, and uttered the worst-case scenario he had assumed, "if the Master's guess is correct, then any read, copy, or teleport operations performed on it may have spread contamination. However, for the time being, this possible contamination is confined to the intranet, and we are putting ourselves in isolation when operating the legacy of the old empire. ”

Well, at this critical moment, she finally didn't add "in theory".

"Very good, perfectly executed the decree," Sandora glanced at me, "through Jun's spirit channel, send that message over." After saying this, Sandora winked at me: "Ah Jun, use Ling as a filter for the time being." No problem, right? ”

I thought about it and understood that the other party was referring to the identity of my own void creatures, the abyss could not infect the void creatures, on the contrary, the only result of their direct contact with the void creatures was to be reversed and decomposed, after all, the abyss is a secondary product of the void, and if I read that information through my spiritual connection, no matter what was inside, it would definitely be purified.

The message was quickly delivered. Just a very simple phrase. The phrase was a few broken words stitched together, because the scientists of the old empire had received a staccato message. They found that this message was just a replay of a sentence, so they took out a few words and arranged them to form the original text message, which went like this-

Anyone? Hurry up and reply, I'll get down after sending this!

That's what that message is all about, it's a long paragraph, but it's just a few words that keep repeating themselves in a loop.

Of course, we don't discuss the content of the text message, maybe whether it is inside or outside the abyss, the watchman is hard.

"Originally, it was encoded in a way that was not directly recognized, and perhaps even the source language was different from any known language," Tavel explained, "but the message itself hides an implicit codebook, hidden in the energy spike between each character of the message, through which the message itself can be translated into any language, which is quite clever wisdom, indicating that the sender of the message does not know what language its recipient speaks. But it has come up with a dictionary that can make any intelligent creature come up with the rules. After being translated, the content of this message is to seek a response. ”

"The scientists of the Old Empire must have translated it as well, so they decided to reply to the call from the bottom of the abyss," I glanced at Sandora, "it's too risky." ”

Sandora's smile was a little reluctant: "If it hadn't happened once, and there was a shallow reminder, who would have thought of such a danger?" ”

This message, along with all the databases and recording devices that have been associated with the spread of this information, was marked, and even the scientists involved in reading the database voluntarily isolated themselves from the public network, and all these "suspected infected people" were urgently concentrated in a metal cavity in the upper mantle after ten minutes, and the energy furnace of the surface ecosystem of Green Star was installed in this cavity. But the surface ecology of the Green Star has long been destroyed in which world: for the sinister universes that have been constantly broken through on the escape journey, as long as the Green Star shield flickers, the entire ecological circle will be wiped out, and this antique patchwork starship originally used a set of crappy shield devices. So this set of energy furnaces completely stopped functioning more than 10,000 years ago, and now the energy furnace inside has been thrown to the surface by spatial transfer, leaving a place to house scientists and equipment.

We also rushed to the scene, the space here is very large, it is an alloy space that is approximately regular hexagon, and there is a circular depression with a diameter of nearly 100 meters in the center of the ground, and in the depression area are the remains of energy interfaces and fixing bolts that still shimmer with a faint light, which is what was left after the removal of the energy furnace. A large batch of equipment is stacked next to the recessed area. Dozens of Chilling technicians were busy working on analytic philosophy equipment, and Tavel was personally inspecting a large data terminal nearby.

All of the above is isolated by a layer of ghost energy barrier.

Tavel's ontology was also involved in opening the database, so she was quarantined.

"No signs of infection have been found, and all the data is clean," Tavir reported to us through the ghost barrier, "but it can't be ruled out that there is a new type of abyss hidden in it that Imperial technology can't identify, and the logic of the Master Mother is correct." The old empire's x-plot got out of control only after this information was salvaged, and it is likely that the abyss is polluting the real world in ways that we have never known, theoretically. ”

"Actually, I don't think it's very likely. Doesn't every aspect of the x-plan out of control sound logical? Because it was discovered that there was an important secret at the bottom of the abyss, the progress of various projects was accelerated, because all the previous projects were going well. So the scientists were a little blindly optimistic, because this was an opportunity to fully understand their mortal enemy, so everyone was working hard - there was nothing wrong with the logic in between, even if there was no abyss involved, it seemed to be the only outcome. ”

"Ah Jun, this is indeed very possible, but against the abyss, one in ten thousand conjecture cannot be tolerated," Shandora was firm. "Continue to test and use all known catalytic methods first, if it doesn't work...... Only Ah Jun can play. At least one thing is certain for now, even if the abyss does get in, it will definitely be trapped in this barrier. ”

After saying this, Sandora whispered to me, "I guess you will have to go in and purify them one by one, including those equipment, these materials are a big deal." ”

I thought about it for a moment, and first smiled apologetically at Tavel: "I didn't expect Lian Ling to be quarantined. But it'll be fine. ”

Sister glasses blinked indifferently: "My majesty." Don't worry, it's an everyday thing for us. Frontier scientists are always in constant contact with dangerous things, and we have to isolate ourselves every once in a while......"

Me: "......" these unbounded guys still have such a tough daily life!

After repeated monitoring, we still haven't been able to find the so-called abyss reaction hidden in that piece of information, and even Shallow herself began to wonder if she was making too much of a fuss, she has a whimsical head, but it doesn't mean that she is unreliable as a whole person, and in business, Shallow is also very responsible.

Although it is also possible that the X plan was indeed gradually out of control under the indescribable influence of the abyss, it obviously has nothing to do with the information in front of us.

In the end, the data was saved, not that we can be completely sure that they are safe and harmless (in fact, after touching the abyss once, it is basically impossible to say that something is completely safe and harmless), but Sandora proposes to make the data harmless: using my spiritual link as a springboard, the data is uploaded to the memory core of a mass-produced mainframe, and after being filtered by the Void Creatures, no matter what malicious code is in the data, it will definitely be finished.

People and equipment that have access to the data still need to be decontaminated – just in case. In the midst of all the attention, I walked into the ghost barrier alone, and felt a somewhat tense atmosphere inside, this atmosphere came from the dozens of scientists and assistant technicians in front of me, they were not afraid of the possible abyss infection, but to personally accept the baptism of the emperor's majesty, so I was very excited, I don't think it's anything, but presumably some of you present have already made up their minds not to take a bath after returning home for more than two hundred years......

"Relax," I shrugged my shoulders with a smile, I had switched to the Void form, where I couldn't make any expressions, only body language instead, "Tavel, open your eyes." ”

I was quite surprised by the appearance of Tavel, the glasses lady with her eyes closed, so I couldn't help but say out loud, and the other party looked at me embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, don't you want to punch me?" Don't slap your face, okay? ”

When Tavel's words fell, dozens of scientists around him suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and closed their glasses one by one, and I was messy in the wind: "...... Who said you have to punch when purifying! ”

Anyway, her purification power was still developed with the help of Tavel, I thought she had a flexible brain, so why did she remember to slap her face!

As a result, Tavel looked around embarrassedly and whispered, "It was Princess Xiaoxue who said, 'How many lost lambs have been awakened by my father's fraternity fist, I learned boxing from my father since I was a child'." Well, that's what she said. ”

Me: "...... Snow girl, go back and give our daughter three days of thinking and morality, no opinion! ”

The eldest lady was annoyed and embarrassed by my sentence "our daughter", and became angry: "The two of you are together!" I don't care about it, you two can't do it! ”

The purification process only lasts a minute, but in fact, it is just a matter of releasing one's own abyssal realm, and then soaking everything inside the ghost energy barrier to the fullest, which is more than fraternity...... It is much more difficult to operate than a face punch. But the effect is better and more humane, it is the 2.0 version that I have studied after several days of painstaking research, and you must have seen it. Carlo's punch was actually in vain......

But what I don't understand is that after I have developed such a high-end advanced technique, I still have to teach my daughter boxing in the future. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly realized that this probably shows that Xiaoxue is a bear child after she can walk, and it is likely that she started boxing with her own father when she was six years old......

It made me almost hopeless.

Green Star finally returned to normal after nearly two hours of martial law, and even Shadow City returned to normal, but in the end, we couldn't determine whether the shallow conjecture was true or false, and was the X plan really out of control under the subtle effect of the abyss? Did the abyss really throw a dangerous seed at the Old Empire, and then all the scientists of the Old Empire were fooled? Is there really such a highly intelligent opponent at the bottom of the abyss, who can plan such a far-reaching plan?

If all these conjectures are true, then I will have to re-examine what happened to me when I was a few years old when I first encountered the Abyss, and think that it could well be another great conspiracy. I shuddered—I hadn't felt such feelings of fear and uneasiness in a long time, and the strength of the Void creatures and the tempering of the Void Creature over the past three years might have matured me a lot, but this time, I really felt that things were not good.

"Maybe it's the opposite, there really is a guy at the bottom of the abyss who is not hostile," Lin Xue seemed to see that I was in a bad mood, and said in the private channel, "My intuition tells me that we will not face a dark future." ”

We are now on the surface of the Green Star. Back to the soft gel crystals. On the flat, desolate land, the dormant pods of the Dryads are being transferred to the surface in droves. The reason for the most difficult opening work and the removal of these sleepers to the surface for activation is that we found that there is not enough space in the upper layer of the mantle: it was designed from the beginning to support half of the Dryads to wake up and half of the Dryads to sleep, and before the system aged and the crew was exhausted, the Dryads lived on the surface of the Green Star: at that time, the planetary shields of the planet were still alive and could resist the harsh cosmic environment, and when they were transferred underground in batches, they went directly into the hibernation pods, so the mantle was a hive "city" There is not enough room to live, and now that 2.6 billion tree spirits are about to awaken, we can only bring them to the surface.

Allow me to send my greetings to the Dryad designers who carried out this mantle renovation work back then—didn't you think you would wake up?! Or did he think the surface environment of this dilapidated starship would still be inhabitable by then?

Luckily, Tavir had already infused the Green Star with an atmosphere that might be a bit high in oxygen for the Dryads, but it didn't affect survival, and the Chilling Technicians had cracked the entire structure of the Dormant Pods, and after they had completed their soul reload, they were able to pause the Dormant Pods and transport them to the surface to "thaw". This huge project, commanded by an assistant technician and operated by the engineers, is expected to be completed in a few days: think about it, more than two billion people, all resurrected in a few days, no wonder Lilina Dole is about to pull over: she has already made up her mind to fool all the tree elves into the Goddess of Life Cult, and I think her success rate this time is unprecedented.

Now that the area around us has become a busy transportation hub, the light of spatial teleportation is constantly flickering, it is the elite soldiers of the Asida-Asidora sisters who are helping to transfer the dormant pod underground, there is not enough space and time below, so those chrono legionnaires are much better than the bulky legion-level space doors. As far as the eye can see, there are dormant pods crisscrossed and arranged in a staggered manner everywhere, one model: straight coffins.

Me: "......"

"Oh Mom, it looks like a mass funeral," Lilina struggled to climb up my thighs, trying to get attention, but I threw her down halfway through, "Eh, that hibernation pod over there looks familiar!" ”

She was referring to a half-open hibernation pod, all of which were identical, but this one had a distinctive feature: its lid had been smashed with several cracks, and there was a silly little face relief carved into the middle.

Lilina hit the dormant pod with her face on the ground.

While a few of us idle guys were around the pod discussing how hard Lilina's face could be, the Dryad girl in the pod had finally been reborn: she was one of the first Dryads to wake up.

I still remember the girl's name: Calyx, which is her name on the oasis, and according to the Great Patriarch, this is also the real name of the Tree Elf. Green Calyx sat up from the hibernation pod, looked at the surrounding collective funeral scene in confusion, her eyes were full of panic, and then she clumsily crawled out of the hibernation pod, but before the staff next to her could run up to answer, Green Calyx had already staggered towards the ...... Lilina.

The girl grabbed the 1.09 meter 09 little Lori with a shocked and troubled face, and a happy smirk appeared on her face: "I had a very long and seemingly short dream, and Ling appeared in the dream, can I follow Ling?" ”
