Chapter 1580： impending tide

Looking at the communication records from the Sorin area, Gao Wen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile to Bertila in the projection of the magic web terminal: "I didn't expect you to take the initiative to mention our biochemical technology to Nova."

"Is it wrong to do this?" Bertila's face was expressionless, but her tone of voice seemed a little disturbed, "Although I don't think this involves leaking classified information..."

"There's nothing wrong with it, as long as it doesn't involve the classified information clearly stipulated in the memorandum, there is no need to hide other things from our Alien friends," Gawain shook his head, and put the record file in his hand on the table, " I just didn't expect you to do this on your own initiative - it's not surprising that you would do this kind of thing seven hundred years ago, but I'm a little surprised that you're doing it today."

"...Isn't it an immature and rash move?" Bertila said slowly, "I didn't think much of it at the time."

"It's a promise with little chance of being fulfilled—though neither of you see it as a formal 'promise,'" Gawain leaned back on the high chair, and said casually with a calm expression, "We and Noy The 'technical exchange' is currently limited to the field of magic tide. We are still very unfamiliar with other fields, and it is quite difficult to provide biochemical technical guidance for an alien race across a distance of four light-years. not to mention that right now we're not even sure everyone will survive."

He paused when he said this, and then suddenly shook his head: "But you don't have to care about these things, I can think of these things, the 'witch' actually understands it very well, and on the other hand, right It is always good to have more expectations and hope in the future.”

Bertiera nodded lightly, and then she noticed the look of exhaustion in Gawain's eyes: "Did you hold an online meeting with other alliance leaders just now? Did it go well?"

Gao Wen raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his brows, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief: "Although it took a lot of energy, fortunately everything went smoothly. Now the construction on the Cangqiong Station has reached a very critical stage, and we have continued to send additional dispatches to space. The three engineering teams have finally ensured that the installation speed of the broadcast repeater can meet expectations. In addition, the Deep Sea Kingdom has provided more large transport ships. The problem of transportation bottlenecks between Loren Continent and the orbital elevator has also been solved. The next big question is whether we can produce enough broadcast installations before the tide reaches Loren, and today's meeting is mainly to solve that..

"The final plan is to increase the production tasks on the Silver Empire side - the ancient factory devices of the elves can switch modes in a short time, and at the same time they are close to the southwest sea area, and the transportation cost is the lowest.

"So in the next four to five months, the Silver Empire will suspend more than half of the conventional industrial projects in the country, and put all the spare production capacity into the production of broadcasting devices. During this period, the alliance does not have the Member countries with advanced industrial production capacity will continue to provide materials to the Silver Empire to ensure that the latter maintains national order when more than half of the domestic material output is suspended."

Bertiera was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood what Gawain meant: "...Let the Silver Empire become a huge factory, all state functions are used to ensure the supply of barrier components, and then the other inability to produce the barrier in the alliance Component members 'blood transfusion' for the Silver Empire to feed this unprecedented factory? That's... a big deal."

"Yeah, it's a big hand, and only the Silver Empire can take on this important task," Gawain nodded, "Currently Cecil and Typhon have undertaken 80% of the 'Ragnarok Project'. Pressure, and no longer have the energy to implement such a large-scale production capacity adjustment, other countries basically have no ability to manufacture broadcast components, or even if a small number of components can be produced, it is a drop in the bucket for the scale of the entire sky station project."

Bertiera didn't speak for a while, while Gawain slowly stood up from behind the desk. He paced to the floor-to-ceiling window and watched the bright sunlight slantingly shone on the streets and alleys of the city. Above the distant horizon, the magnificent The magnificent round of giant sun is gradually sinking to the west. The cloud-like crown escaping around the giant sun seems to be connected with the clouds on the horizon. On the surface of the giant sun, you can vaguely see some hairs like vellus hairs. slender blood-red traces.

Gawain's expression suddenly froze, and he didn't look back: "Bertiera, have you noticed the fine lines on the surface of the sun?"

Bertila was silent for two or three seconds, and quickly responded: "Yes, brother, there are indeed some slight red marks there. Is this... is the magic tide coming?!"

"Relax, it hasn't come yet, but the edge of the magic tide 'concussion' is indeed approaching us. This disturbance can span a distance of several light-years at the most. The working principle of the observation device is based on this," Gao Wen watched quietly. Looking at the distant sky, his voice was calm and powerful, which gradually calmed Bertirao's nervousness, "The first signs actually appeared once a few years ago, but at that time, no one could understand these astronomical anomalies. The mystery behind the elephant."

Bertiera nodded knowingly, while Gawain continued to stand quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the fine lines on the surface of the giant sun in the distance, watching the disaster that was approaching this world step by step, watching its projection In the shadows of the world, he saw those blood-like patterns slowly spread on the corona, gradually forming some more clearly distinguishable red spots, looking at it as if blood was about to drip from the surface of the sun, and in a moment After that, the blood-like streaks and color blocks began to fade away quickly...

It was as if the calamity was venting its power to the world.

Gawain heard footsteps sounding in the corridor—it seemed that he was not the only one who noticed the change in the sun. He took a light breath and sorted out his expression, turned his head to look in the direction of the door of the study, and then he heard Heidi's voice coming from outside the door: "Ancestor, you..."

"Come in." Gawain's calm voice interrupted Hetty, and the next second, the door was pushed open, and Hetty, who was a little nervous, appeared in front of Gawain: "Ancestor, pay attention. Is it the pattern that appears on the sun? Is that…”

"Don't panic, the end hasn't come yet," Gawain shook his head and said casually as he walked to the desk, "It just emphasized its existence to us again."

…

The red pattern that suddenly appeared on the surface of the sun was not only seen in Cecil. At the same time, almost all areas in the Loren continent that were in the daytime stage saw the strange changes on the surface of the giant sun for up to ten minutes. And for those who know more about the truth, they are well aware of the dire implications behind this change.

The magic tide is really approaching.

The Ogure Tribal Kingdom, located in the Helm City at the foot of the Ancestor's Peak, the five tribal kings came to the observation platform at the highest point of the city, and the tallest Camilla stood on the edge of the platform, staring blankly at it. The huge sun wheel that has gradually sunk into one-third of the horizon—it is now approaching dusk, and the brilliance of the huge sun has turned into a golden glow, splashing wildly on the towering and quaint walls and roofs of Helm City, and on the surface of the sun. , the blood-colored lines have now almost completely subsided, leaving only a little inconspicuous dark red line that appears and disappears in the cloudy corona, and gradually returns to dim.

The magic tide did not reach Loren, but the "ripples" escaping around the world-destroying giant wave have been able to lick the dust-like planet under the feet of mortals, and the powerful power it carries can make " The "virtual objects" produce optical changes visible to the naked eye on the surface, and the "virtual objects" referred to here include not only stars such as "O", but also the gas giant planets that illuminate the world of Loren.

The king of spirit witches, Stull, stood beside Camilla, his voice was low and slow: "A few years ago, I also saw such a blood-colored pattern on the sun, but at that time I didn't know what it meant... "

"According to the people of Noi, the power of the magic tide can interfere with the operation of virtual celestial bodies a few light-years away, and the density and frequency of patterns appearing on the surface of the sun or gas giant planets can represent the relationship between the magic tide and the celestial body to a certain extent. The distance between celestial bodies, the last time we saw red spots on the surface of the sun was a few years ago, the next time...maybe next month, or even this month," said the human king Wycliffe, who was standing by, and then Shaking his head, "When the magic tide fully arrives, the scarlet pattern on the surface of the sun will cover almost the entire corona, and it will not subside until the magic tide is over."

"...Meeting the challenge of adult transformation under the shining of a **** sun? It really sounds like some kind of epic prophecy scene," Wenna Baizhi sighed in her tone, "Then our world is considered a kind of epic prophecy. Are you ready for this **** day?"

The king of spirit witches, Stull, turned around and looked at the other side of the Holy Helm City. He saw the Ancestral Peak standing on the east side of the ancient city. Towers are standing quietly in the afterglow of the setting sun. The huge antenna devices and crystal arrays point to the sky like sharp swords and arms. The rays of light spread along the mountain, and at the end of the rays of the sun, you can see the huge scale on the plain. sensor array ring.

Camilla also turned to look at the holy mountain. Her feline-like pupils shrank slightly in the brilliance of the holy mountain. She raised her hand and touched the scar from the previous war near her cheek. , his voice was low and firm: "At least, we are better prepared this time than every season of Forerunner in the past 1.8 million years."

Twelve hours later, the last sensor tower on the Ancestral Plain entered the final debugging stage.

In the dim sky, a ring structure with an amazing scale was first illuminated by the sun. It was built around the entire plain with the towering Ancestral Peak as the center. Large energy stations, relay stations, analysis nodes, The induction nodes are like strings of pearls inlaid on a ring, standing proudly in the vast open fields of Ogre, and at the last node area of ​​the ring, the bright welding sparks finally subsided.

A tower composed of several sections of cylinders and complex crystal arrays stands at this node, and a large drag chain glowing with metallic luster extends from the tower body to the nearby nerve connection station and energy station. The construction team of the welding operation began to evacuate from various dangerous areas according to the procedure, and several large construction vehicles were parked near this key node, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

At this moment, the rune array at the base of the tower has entered the pre-charging stage. Along with the countless runes brightening up, the on-site commander sitting in one of the construction vehicles also showed a serious and somewhat serious face. With a nervous look, he listened to the low humming sound from far to near, and several large facilities within the field of vision began to start testing one by one, while the commands and reports from the general command center kept coming from the communication. From Taichung:

"The start-up focus energy assembly is in good condition...starting to release energy to the ring area...

"The focus thinking center has been awakened, the servo brain array is connected... The neural bus is in good condition, the neural signal feedback is 100% effective, and there is no error response.

"An abnormal pressure point in the biomass circulation pipeline... has been ruled out, it was a false alarm from the sensor, and the redundant circuit was successfully switched.

"The feedback signal from the observer's chamber is normal... The vibrating focus begins to output a benchmark shock to the ring area, and the shock test lasts for 30 seconds. Each sensor monitoring unit should pay attention to reporting whether there is any abnormality at any time.

"The Observer Chamber begins to take over the main system, ready to perform the first assembly test..."

Under the increasingly bright sky, a beast is gradually awakening on the ancient land of the Ogure Tribe.

This fierce beast is made of steel, with the wisdom and courage of mortals as its blood and soul. It crawls on the plains of the ancestors' peaks, but its eyes are fixed on the endless, distant and deep interstellar space-under the blue sky, the ancestors' peaks came. There was a low roar, and the huge rings around the holy mountain began to brighten one by one, the rune array lit up one by one, the magic tower began to run, and the surging magic and primitive nerve signals began to be created by countless mortals. It ran through the veins of success, and deep in the beast's head, "Observer" Miermina had taken over the authority of the main system.

"It's... incredible..."

Feeling the magical tremors on the entire plain, feeling that the powerful energy enough to kill gods is operating in a precise and safe way under the restraint of the observation system, even the magic goddess known as the "Master of All Laws" cannot be at this moment. Curb the amazement in your heart. In the depths of the observer's chamber, Miermina is sitting high on the top of her gorgeous golden throne, and her perception extends to every sensor terminal on the plain through the tremor of dark blue magic, this indescribable perception …unprecedented.

Next to the Golden Throne, a magic net terminal was activated, and Gawain's figure appeared in the holographic projection above the terminal, and he was paying attention to the operation of the magic tide observation device: "Milmina, how is your situation? "

"The whole system is waking up - this behemoth, it takes half an hour just to charge and activate," Miermina lowered her head, looking at the magic turbulence around the throne, and the complex patterns projected over a large number of nearby terminal devices. The tone was amazed, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that this thing was created by the hands of mortals... Ah, the whole system is currently in good condition, don't worry."

"Very good," Gao Wen nodded lightly in the communication screen, "after the whole system wakes up, first perform a benchmark scan test on the target starry sky, and then we will further calibrate and debug the observation device according to the results of the benchmark scan test. It goes well, and then we can notify Noy to conduct simultaneous observations with us."

"Understood, I'm ready to start here," Miermina nodded, and said quickly while watching the wake-up process of the whole system, "There are still ten seconds left, and I'm going to vibrate the sensor array...

"Seven seconds, six seconds...

"Two seconds, one second... the sensor vibrates!"

With a tremor of magical power that was imperceptible to the naked eye and covered the entire plain, Miermina's will became one with the entire observation device.

In the next second, the endless ripples in the depths of the vast starry sky turned into turbulent data and poured into the hundreds of sensor nodes distributed on the plain. Then, these "reflection parameters" from nearby stars flowed into the calculation center of the Ancestral Peak. , and was analyzed and reorganized by the huge servo brain array and human brain array, and entered Miermina's mind.

At this moment, she saw the deep starry sky.

And the shadows that are gradually spreading from the depths of the stars.

The brief benchmark scan test ended, but Miermina was still sitting on the top of the throne motionless, her expression seemed a little dull, and even the magical light currents flowing around her seemed to be affected by it and gradually stagnated.

"Milmina?" Gawain noticed Mirmina's abnormal reaction and immediately asked, "How is the situation? Did you observe anything?"

"I... saw it, I did see it..." Miermina finally woke up, but her tone did not show any joy after the success. Her eyes fell on a nearby magic net terminal, staring at it. The updated data and patterns are being continuously summarized above, "Gao Wen, the observation device has given two completely different parametric models. What I see... are two shadows."
