Chapter 1132： Adventurer going north (1/2)

"Sense of urgency..."

Bertila repeated Gawain’s words softly, her gaze fell on the “mortal” who could even confront the gods without changing her face, and a thought suddenly appeared in her heart:

What else in the world can make such people feel urgency?

I am afraid it can only be a risk from outside the known world...

"After the signal appeared, your nerves were a little tight," she couldn't help but said, "Although others probably can't see it, I noticed-do you think the signal is a big threat? The sending of the signal ...Although you were very optimistic just now, you seem to be sure that they are malicious."

"No, I can't determine whether they are malicious or well-intentioned right now, but the existence of this signal itself should make all of us strained," Gawain glanced at Bertila, "If it really comes from far away Another civilization in the depths of the Star Sea—then this civilization is completely unknown to us. Completely unknown means that everything is possible. They may be more advanced and powerful than us, and may be extremely offensive, even These signals themselves may be some kind of trap...

"Of course, all of this may be the opposite, but we can’t put all hope on ‘just so’.

"Moreover, this kind of unknown thing is even more dangerous than the'sacred disaster' we are facing, because at least we have begun to contact and decipher the mystery of the gods, and we at least know where the boundaries of the gods are. , But for an unfamiliar civilization in the depths of the stars, we can’t even determine what their life forms are."

Bertila quietly listened to Gawain’s words, and suddenly said softly: “For countless years, mortals on this planet have walked alone in the dark. There is no other light in the world, so most of us think this There is only ourselves in the vast expanse of wilderness. We compete and survive within the range of our own civilization candle. All the threats we have come into contact also come from this range, but now... we suddenly see a cluster of people from afar. light."

Gao Wen nodded softly: "So I have a sense of urgency-the existence of the sea monster and the testimony of the dragon race have proved that there is not only one candle in this universe, but we have never thought of another. The light is so close, it is even shining in our direction... Regardless of whether this strange light is kind or malicious, it means that we don’t have much time to waste."

"Although I don't know what you have planned, it seems that you have high hopes for the giant Thorin tree," Bertila said in thought. She groaned, and the breeze under the night sky blew through the tree canopy and lifted some subtleties on the edge of the sea of ​​leaves. After half a minute of thinking, she broke the silence, "Perhaps there is a way...that can allow me to break through my growth limit."

Gawain was also thinking about his own business, and at this time he immediately woke up from his meditation: "Do you have a way?"

"The growth limit of the Thorin giant tree seems to be mainly limited by my control ability, and regarding control ability..." Bertila paused briefly, his face seemed to show a trace of pride, "Do you remember how I controlled at the same time Two incarnations?"

Gawain instantly guessed what the other person was thinking, and couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly: "You mean those servo brains?"

"I have always used servo brains as auxiliary organs to stabilize my personality. Occasionally I also use them to solve some research topics, but I rarely use them directly to control giant trees-it is not safe to do so. Or technical problems, simply because I have enough control ability, I don’t need to do this," Bertila nodded and said very seriously, "I have only recently started to use the servo brain to help me control additional avatars. 'This has achieved very good results, and the question you just asked gave me further inspiration...The extra computing power can not only control the extra avatar, but also the growing giant tree."

Gawain has been interested, he nodded: "Go on."

"I just conceived a plan. If, during the growth of the giant tree of Thorin, an auxiliary brain is placed in its neural grid every certain range, and a series of auxiliary neural nodes and independent biomass are set up around these brains. Circulation pipelines may be able to greatly increase the size of the giant tree, and at the same time it will not put too much pressure on my own thinking cycle and biomass transportation," Bertila continued, "At the same time, these brains can be buried deep underneath. It can also prevent the enemy from locking my nerve nodes, which greatly enhances security..."

Gawain's eyes widened as he listened. He conceived Bertila's amazing plan in his mind. The picture that the brain supplemented was already extremely shocking, and when he heard the other party intends to bury those auxiliary brains in the ground. After thinking about it, he immediately nodded in agreement-it is safer to do so, and the main reason is that it is more friendly to the mental health of ordinary people on the surface...

Bertila saw Gawain’s approving gaze, she smiled and stopped: "Do you have anything to add to my plan?"

"No one knows your body better than you, so you can control the technical aspects yourself," Gawain nodded, "I just want to explain one thing-I don't want the Thorin tree to be aimless. Land blindly expands, but has a detailed'growth plan'..."

While talking, he couldn't help but reminded: "In addition, I must remind you: Although this magnificent plan has a good starting point, it must not forget the lessons of the End of All Things in the past. After all, your starting point was also Okay, but in the end you fell into the dark side of technology-so you must always pay attention to the risks in the growth process this time. Once you find that the giant tree may get out of control, you must stop immediately. At the same time, no matter where your plan goes, They must report progress to me at any time, without going through other departments, and report directly to me."

Looking at Gawain’s extraordinarily serious look and listening to the solemnity in the other’s tone, Bertila also stood up in awe, as a witness and participant of the plague of gods in the past, about the death of all things will gradually fall into darkness and madness. All sorts of memories resurfaced in her mind at this moment-in all her minds, she bowed her head deeply, with a heavy tone: "Yes, I will never make the same mistake again, Brother Gao Wen."

……

The remote northern coast, the empire’s current largest outlet to the sea, the new city "Beigang" has now become the busiest material distribution hub in the north.

This new city, which was built in the shortest time with almost half the power of the empire, now stands at the end of the north coast. Its rise has created countless records that are regarded as miracles by the locals-no one has ever I have seen that a city can be built in such a short period of time. No one has ever seen a huge heat collection tower towering over the ground. Cobweb-like heating pipes warm the entire city. The new order of the empire The city spreads outward from the center, like an irresistible wave spreading across the entire north—not to mention that no one has ever seen so many merchants, travelers, and adventurers gather in a swarm like a swarm. On this coastline once ruled by cold and barbarity.

Those who have questioned the Beigang Construction Corps and the Wilder family’s decision have all been dissipated. In front of the towering port shield and municipal heating tower, all the pale and weak doubts melted like spring snow. Other voices expressing concern gradually disappeared after the rapid rise of commerce in Beigang New City.
