Chapter 1427： Before facing the stars (1/2)

The vast sea of ​​stars, vast and vast, and endless stars have endless possibilities, and the endless darkness hides these possibilities. As a planetary civilization that has not yet broken free from the constraints of gravity, mortals can only imagine when they look up at the sky. Use reasoning to guess what the opposite side of the star sea looks like. Therefore, in this case, every message from the star sea will particularly stimulate the nerves of those who look up.

The setting sun has gradually sunk to the edge of the horizon. The daylight in late autumn has begun to appear short. The joyous atmosphere of the Victory Day celebration has not completely dissipated from the city. The streets outside the window can still see the flow of celebration people and sales. The street lamps of souvenir vendors and shops are lighting up in the distance, and in the gradually dimming sky, twinkling stars are faintly visible.

Frostsky hasn't appeared in the sky yet-but it is there.

Gao Wen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the study, looking at the stars faintly in the sky outside the window, his expression was more serious than before, and Amber’s voice came from the side: "It seems you are very concerned about this. what…"

"There is a civilization capable of sending superluminal communications that has cast our sight on us in the stars. Of course, this matter is worth paying attention to." Gao Wen did not look back, but said slowly. For a civilization that has truly stepped into the universe, living in the world feels like trekking in the dark. We cannot be sure what is in the darkness around us, nor can we be sure that the neighbors that may exist nearby are enemies or friends. We have already paid attention. When it comes to the existence of night, but still has no ability to light up the lights to dispel the night-this stage is the most tense state.

"Over the years, we have been able to be sure that at least one figure is walking with us in the night. This figure has a torch in his hand, but has not noticed us who are still in the dark, but suddenly, he seems to be aware of the darkness around him. There are other people, now this figure is looking towards our hiding place...I think you can understand this feeling."

"...Indeed, I understand it too much," Amber's hairs were standing upright after listening to Gawain's analogy. "It's like being kicked out by someone in a sneaky state, and I'm shocked to think about it."

"...When traveling alone, I hope that someone will walk with me in the night, but I really feel nervous and resisted when I walk with me," Gao Wen sighed softly, "I can only blame Xinghai for being too vast, which contains too much uncertainty."

Amber thought for a while: "But then again, in fact, we are the one who has the initiative in a certain sense. After all, we have known the existence of'them' for so long, but'they' did not know us. Even now, it seems that the alien civilization that sends the signal is not sure whether the'Unknown Civilization Alpha' exists or not. We are the figure that has always been hiding in the dark... Generally speaking, this is the more nervous side. "

"It's undeniable that the situation you said does exist," Gawain said slowly, and then frowned in confusion. "So sometimes I suspect that the civilization that sends signals is really advanced than us. Ethnicity? If the signal is not a trap, then their performance is too shabby and reckless. If the signal is a trap... then a civilization capable of ultra-light communication should also be capable of high-precision deep-space scanning. The demon once mentioned that deep-space scanning is a pre-technology for super-light communication, so it’s impossible for the civilization that sends signals to know our existence..."

"Didn't you say that the'tech trees' of different civilizations may be completely different," Humber looked serious. Did not point out the skill of deep space scanning."

Gawain glanced at the Shadow Assault Goose that was seriously analyzing with a weird look: "To be honest, you follow me all day to say these ‘special nouns’, do you really understand what they mean?"

Amber immediately felt confident: "I only understand part of it, but don't I know how to bullshit? Simply associate the context..."

It's not leaking to talk nonsense to others without knowing it half-knowledge-Gawain thinks this is really an amazing talent.

And thanks to Amber’s interruption, Gawain also felt his emotions relaxed a lot. He sighed lightly and saw that the setting sun outside the window had completely fallen to the end of the earth, leaving only a faint red color permeating the city along the clouds. In the sky, Xinghui became more and more eye-catching, and several stars in the frost constellation gradually appeared in the night sky—the agreed meeting time was approaching.

He sorted his thoughts, turned his head to look at Amber: "Help me keep a watch later."

Amber patted his chest: "Don't worry if you know it, I'm familiar with this."

…

Neural network, a special encryption space, a breeze suddenly rolled up in an endless open white flower field, the breeze blew across the sea of ​​flowers, and then turned into a white round table and several gorgeous chairs around the round table, and then, Several figures appeared around the round table one after another—the first one appeared was Gawain, followed by the serious and thin Rosetta Augustus, and then another glare emerged, a tall and beautiful one. The blond figure came out of the light. It was Belcetia Morningstar.

Under normal circumstances, Gao Wen used conventional holographic projections for such remote meetings, but this time the situation was special. He set the address of the meeting in the "white sea of ​​flowers" of the neural network-long before the Wasteland War, The Cyr system communication network has already appeared in Typhon and the Silver Empire. Although it is still in its infancy, at least in places such as Obsidian Palace and the Elven King Court, there are a full set of wizards that can communicate with Cecil City in real time. For equipment, this includes magic net terminals and immersion cabins.

However, whether it is used frequently is another matter. After entering the cyberspace, Rosetta is obviously still a little uncomfortable. The Typhon ruler looked down at his body in the default mode and lifted it up again. I shook my hand, and couldn't help but mutter softly: "...It really is an incredible technology, it can really be simulated to this degree..."

Then he looked up at Gao Wen and the Queen of Silver, and greeted the rulers of the other two empires with a decent attitude.

"Welcome to this sea of ​​flowers-this is the encrypted space I prepared specially for special meetings," Gawain nodded to Rosetta and Bersetia, motioned for them to sit down at the round table and said, "This is us It’s the first time to meet in this form, but as you can feel, it’s almost as real as the real world, and there is no need for any additional adaptation. Just treat it as meeting in the real world.”

"I think this is more convenient than the real world," Belcetia smiled, and after sitting down, she knocked on the table, and a beautiful tea set appeared in front of her. "The real world can't do this. matter."

Rosetta next to him suddenly glanced at the Silver Queen in surprise, but before he asked, Gawain was a little surprised: "You seem to be quite skilled."

"I have always been interested in this new technology," Belsetia said with a smile. "Although the number of immersion pods in the Silver Empire is still very small, and the corresponding network has only just begun to be built, but my courtiers and I I have already begun to study how to use this thing efficiently-speaking of this, the "disconnection" during the previous war was really frustrating."
