Chapter 1586 Dragon in a different land
When night falls to the earth again, stars shroud the fields, accompanied by the artificial lights on the surface, the bright stars run through the entire night like a long river. This is an extremely clear summer night. Every star in the sky seems to be much clearer than before, and the refreshing night wind blows from the direction of the plains and wilderness, gently stirring this quiet world.
Gao Wen left the room and went to a terrace near the study alone, enjoying this moment of leisure, looking up at the long river of stars among the high sky.
He could no longer remember how many days he had never relaxed like this. He was always tense, entangled in vortexes by various things, accumulating strength for the future like a tight spring. In this always tense state, he felt that he had forgotten what it was like to "relaxation". But at this moment, when he looked up at the sky on a quiet summer night, he finally felt the long-lost relaxation.
A familiar breath quietly appeared in his perception at this time. Gao Wen didn't need to look back and knew that Amber was coming to find him again. He didn't look back, but saw a petite figure jumping out of the crack of the shadow from the corner of his eyes, jumping to the terrace railing next to him, sitting on it in a thrilling position that others looked quite thrilling, and swaying slightly with one leg outside.
"Look at Xingxing again?" Amber turned his head and looked at Gao Wen. The amber eyes shone brightly under the night. There seemed to be a little smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's great, I haven't seen you run out like this for a long time to see Xingxing."
Gao Wen didn't say anything for a moment, but looked up and looked at a special direction in the night sky. There was a special star. It was so bright that all the stars around it looked overshadowed. The light yellow light it released spread slightly outward in the night sky. Looking like a cluster of distant candlelight, Gao Wen stared at it quietly. After a while, he suddenly broke the silence softly: "What can you see?"
Amber also raised her head and looked in the direction where Gao Wen was staring. At some point, a thin layer of shadow had already enveloped her like a cloak, and her long dark hair, like night, floated slightly behind her. She looked at the night sky, and the shadow of "Oh" reflected in her amber eyes: "A distant star disturbed the world under our feet with its ubiquitous influence... To be honest, it was not until recently that I truly realized how special the star called "Oh" by the mages was."
As she said, she narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she wanted to identify an extremely subtle shadow from the darkness around "O", but after a moment she shook her head and sighed slightly: "It's a pity that we can't see the 'flower' flying towards O'O."
"Compared with a star, that fragment is too small. Currently, the most advanced observation equipment on the planet Loren cannot find its trace on the optical level," Gao Wen said slowly, "not to mention that it will be affected by the brilliance of 'O'."
Amber didn't say anything for a moment, and didn't know what he was thinking. It was not until a long time before he suddenly spoke: "You said... is it really a coincidence that that piece of fragment flew towards 'O'?"
Gao Wen turned his head slightly and asked her back: "What do you think?"
Amber shook his head: "I don't know... Hetty thinks this is a coincidence, because there is not enough evidence to support the signs of "navigation" of the fragment. In theory, the "god" on the Neuyi spacecraft should not know the dilemma we are facing. His spacecraft disintegration occurred a year ago, and at that time the demon tide observation device was still a drawing. How could the "Nei God" make the decision to hit "O" in advance?
"But Rebecca felt that the fragment was consciously flying towards O'O, on the one hand, because its impact time was too coincidental and its flight trajectory was too special. On the other hand, because when the spacecraft was disintegrated, the "God of Neuy" had already arrived near Loren. He could have observed that there was a problem on the planet Loren at the last moment, but at that time He had no time and no way to warn anyone. At that time, we had already begun to discuss with the Neuy to build an observation device, so He chose to let his wreckage rush towards the sun... Perhaps, just to bet on a one-tenth of possibility."
"In fact, it's less than one ten thousand," Gao Wen said slowly. "If there was no timely information provided by Omega, we wouldn't have known about this impact, nor would we prepare in advance. If the demon tide observation device did not react within a few seconds of the impact, then we and the Neuyi would have missed this signal forever. This is a warning that will hardly be successful. From a rational analysis, it is more like a coincidence."
He paused suddenly when he said this, then shook his head slightly: "But this time, I don't plan to think about this issue with rigorous rationality... I prefer to believe Rebecca's guess."
"It's rare to hear such words from your mouth. Others think that you are a 'steel king' who will always run accurately like a mechanical one," Amber pulled the corner of his mouth, but the smile in his eyes was even more obvious than before. "But then again, the spacecraft launched by the Neuer a century ago finally turned into lights to illuminate the two civilizations at the end of the journey... Although it sounds very touching, behind it is the fact that if you make a mistake, you will never get rid of it. You say... is it hard work or so-called luck that you will eventually determine the fate of all of us?"
"Lucky itself is an important part of the reason why civilization can develop to this day. I never deny that a considerable part of our journey to this day depends on luck," Gao Wen shook his head. "As an objective factor, 'luck' cannot be denied, but 'luck' is also not an excuse to deny efforts. If we do not have the ability to build a magic tide observation device or a home star barrier at all, then what's the point even if 'O' flashes in the night sky?"
"...That's true," Amber touched her chin and nodded in agreement. "This reminds me of a proverb from the northern nation, 'The loser holds his own efforts tightly, and the successful ones show his luck calmly'. This sounds quite reasonable now."
Gao Wen smiled, and at this moment, another breath suddenly appeared in his perception. He looked at the perception unexpectedly, but saw that the door of the terrace was being pushed open little by little, and a light golden light came into his eyes through the crack of the door. Immediately afterwards, a golden dome with beautiful and complex patterns on the surface squeezed over from the door, and appeared floating in Gao Wen's eyes.
Gao Wen Amber: “…”
"Good evening," After a moment of a slightly awkward quietness, a very calm greeting came from the golden dome, "The stars are very good today."
Amber stared at the golden dome floating in the air in a daze. After being stunned for a long time, she finally couldn't help but exclaim: "...So you can run by yourself?!"
"Yes," Enya shook her eggshell very calmly, "I usually just don't want to act by myself."
Gao Wen's eyes twitched, and then he vaguely guessed something: "Is there anything you need help?"
Enya didn't answer immediately. She just slowly floated to the edge of the terrace, as if she was staring at the starlight in the distance. When she saw this scene, she hurriedly reminded her: "Hey, be careful! Don't fall and break it!"
"He is in that direction now?" Enya completely ignored Amber's screaming next to her. She only turned around and said to Gao Wen after looking quietly for a long time. "I mean... Omega."
Gao Wen looked at the golden dome in front of him with a strange expression: "In fact, I can't see what direction you are pointing, but I guess you should be pointing to 'O', yes, Omega is in that direction, on a mineral-rich rock planet."
"...It looks so far," Enya sighed in her voice, "Even in her heyday, even if I was not bound by thoughts, it would be not easy to fly such a far place... But compared to the distance between us and the Noi people, this is only a short distance."
"For those who first understand the universe, many things under the astronomical scale are incredible and challenging common sense. Our understanding of time, space and even everything needs to be reshaped in the starry sky, and this is also one of the reasons why the 'coming-command ritual' exists. But you have now got rid of this shackles. If you want, you can learn the knowledge about the starry sky as much as you want."
"It sounds really worth looking forward to..." Enya said slowly, then she paused for a few seconds before she suddenly spoke as if she was determined, "I want to ask you for a favor..."
...
The hot day is over. Under the thin radioactive atmosphere, a large plain covered with dark brown rocks is gradually being shrouded in the night. The temperature on the plain will continue to drop in the next few hours until it crosses the freezing point, until the clusters of strange minerals on the plain, like obsidian, show purple light patterns at the low temperature. As the planet's magnetic field interacts with the high-energy particles near the stars, the magnificent scenery begins to spread all the way from the sky at the end of the plain.
It was an aurora of amazing scale, like endless layers of curtains covering most of the sky, and it constantly outlined various magnificent shapes in the process of slow drifting. Under the illumination of this extremely magnificent aurora, some inconspicuous "little things" on the earth were moving quickly.
A "Bird Dragon Explorer" walking machine swung its mechanical footsteps quickly. The insect version of the arthropod structure made it pass through the bumpy obstacles on the plain as if it were walking on the ground. It ran quickly under the aurora, and then suddenly stopped in front of a strange-colored stone. The little guy with a pitch-black shell turned around the stone for half a circle, and then popped out an alloy cutting claw vibrating at a high speed from his body. It "picked" a sample from the stone, stuffed it into the sample storage compartment in his stomach, and then ran quickly to the next patrol coordinates.
At the same time when the dragon explorer ran quickly to the distance, another slight buzzing sound came from the night sky. A triangular black aircraft quickly passed through the sky. The signal light on the surface of the aircraft flashed rapidly in the background made of the aurora curtain, and the multiple sensors quickly scanned the terrain on the plain.
Below the triangular aircraft, at the southeast end of the plain, an open-pit mine was operating. Several mining machinery was constantly digging under the control of high-performance self-regulatory agencies, crushing the minerals peeled from nearby mountains. The train full of ore was flying on temporary tracks, transporting these initially processed ore sand to a melting furnace not far away. A road that was stronger than the temporary track and straightened out from the mine and stretched to the foot of the mountain several kilometers away.
A solid cliff stands at the end of the road, and below the cliff is a high-rise steel barrier and tower. The giant lighting devices at the top of several towers are slowly turning in the night. When the interlaced lights sweep across the surface of the barrier, the huge text on the steel wall is particularly eye-catching in the night. It is the ancient dragon text, shining brightly in this fortress on the surface of the alien planet:
"Omega's Dragon's Nest"
At this moment, deep in the steel fortress, Omega's huge consciousness was running quietly in the newly adjusted server array.
On a platform near the central area, an amazingly large dragon body composed of machinery is sleeping quietly. It was the huge body that Omega originally created for himself. In order to save energy, this body is currently dormant, and the buildings nearby are Omega's "thinking center" now.
The thick walls and bright lights blocked the desolation and darkness of the alien land outside the fortress at this moment. Arrays of servers arranged neatly in the hall were buzzing and processing massive parameters returned from countless terminal nodes. Omega sensed that the detection nodes he released were busy all over the planet, sensing that they were drawing terrain, collecting specimens, exploring minerals, sensing the heat in the daytime area and the coldness under the night sky, and all of this was a scenery he had never seen when he was in his "hometown".
Every day, he can get exposed to brand new knowledge and see incredible scenery. His thinking thread no longer needs to deal with the useless tasks that day after day, but can use computing power to "learning", "thinking" and "creation". Although he is not very adapted to his current thinking mode, he feels... he should be happy now.
Of course, in addition to the incredible scenery, there will be incredible dangers on this desolate alien star: special geological activities, atmospheric phenomena that need to be adapted to, magic disturbances from "Ao", all of which caused him to suffer more or less losses. In order to adapt to the environment here, the navigation unit brought from his hometown has now undergone unrecognizable transformations. Some of them have even been dismantled and remade into the infrastructure in this nest. Even the powerful body he himself carefully created at the time has now been proven not to adapt to the environment of this planet, but compared with the journey itself, these challenges are really insignificant.
The server array buzzed in the hall of mind, and Omega split a thread thinking about what he saw and heard during this journey.
He did this every day because the creators once had a proverb: Looking back at the past is a key step to avoid making mistakes.
Omega thought this sentence was very wise.
But this time, a sudden signal call into the main thread interrupted Omega's routine thinking today. This call signal came from "hometown", so he quickly turned his attention: "I'm listening, Gao Wen, friend."
"It's not me looking for you, it's another 'acquaintance'." Gao Wen's voice came from the communication signal. Then, Omega felt a subtle "offset" of the communication signal. It seemed that a new consciousness directly intervened in the communication. The next second, he heard a somewhat familiar voice:
Chapter completed!
