609 The Source of the Decisive Battle IX

November 18, YC120 Lion Constellation B17O-R System Planet III Source Republic Frontline Bastion Space Station.

As a key node connecting the two constellations of the Lion Demon and the Qilin, the troops stationed here are naturally elite.

As one of the armed forces controlled by the Hedwig family, and at the same time they are familiar with the local terrain, they naturally choose to continue to be stationed in their old place.

"Cheer me up! The commanders of the Imperial Navy had just given their swearing-in speeches, and they were sure to attack soon. If you don't want to be caught off guard, then you all have to keep an eye on the radar screen for me! Their commander, Joseph Wilcottes Hathaway, spoke loudly to a group of officers in front of him in his office.

"Yes, sir!" The officers left his office one after another.

"Alas! This battle has no need to be fought! He looked at the current situation map of the Source Domain hanging across from his desk, and sighed heavily.

"My lord, why don't we think about it..." The adjutant beside him hesitated slightly, and vaguely reminded him.

"Why don't I know what you're talking about? But we don't have a choice! Joseph said helplessly to his adjutant.

He sighed, motioned to the adjutant to close the door, and said, "Alas, all of our family members have been put under house arrest by that crazy woman. If we choose to mutiny again, that madwoman won't be soft on our family! ”

"But my lord, in the face of the powerful strength of the Imperial Navy, we have no chance of winning! We are only a local garrison fleet, and neither in terms of the number or quality of warships, can compare with the regular main force of the Imperial Navy! My lord, our own family knows our own affairs, and our doing so is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and we are sending all our colleagues in the fleet to death! The adjutant persuaded bitterly.

"Don't talk about it, we can't do anything about it." Joseph raised his hand to stop the adjutant who was still trying to persuade him, and he said with a wry smile: "Besides, even if I ignore my wife and children who are still under house arrest and surveillance by that crazy woman, have you seriously considered the declaration of the Empire?" ”

For the Gadari merchants who travel through the core galaxy, it would be a good sign to be able to catch a glimpse of the ballet beauty of Lutins on the way to the Ian Aosta Gate. Some of the locals of Gahlent even began to worship these strange dancing lights. The rare light resembled a swarm of floating and dancing angels around the ship approaching the stargate, and it did not dissipate until the ship jumped to Pilmit. At the same time, the poor Emma merchants saw them as mere embellishments to appease women, children, and restless slaves before the ship escaped through the stargate into the eternal void.

The glow comes from the spirit of drone revenge in the Ian-Aosta war, which has been rumored to be circulating in the borderlands, and may still be lingering in the last century about Gadari's secession from the Federation. The conspirators insisted that this spectral phenomenon was conclusive evidence of the Jupiter experiment, as they had always done. Ironically, the Emma, who were dismissive of it, benefited from this, deepening the admiration of Mimatar slaves for this phenomenon, and if they saw such a spectacle, their newborn children would be blessed with freedom.

Although a detour would double the journey, the slave ships were happy to pass through the Garent borderlands, hoping to see this phenomenon and silence the restless slave gates. Some slave traders exalted this belief among slaves by freeing the children of these "blessed parents" who would later be born. Others, who had no sympathy, cruelly poisoned the buns that the slaves baked to commemorate the ritual of Rudin's blessing, preventing them from having offspring.

At the same time, some scientific research on this phenomenon (iyen pixies, as they are popularly called) has been carried out, but the results have not been satisfactory. The Emma Empire, which receives a large amount of tax revenue from increasingly busy interstellar traffic, begins to put pressure on the academic community. Finally, even the most research-keen institutions are barred from placing their sensor arrays near increasingly heavy traffic hubs.

At the same time, the legend continues to spread among the mimatar laborers who were forced to migrate. Buns are still being made, hoping to be freed from captivity on plantations and farms. On the darkest days of the year, in a quiet corner of Shanmar, Lutinlir (Hanukkah) attracts thousands of Rudin's families who now live relatively freely in the territory of the Republic of Amada.

Of the many interpretations of this fictional Rudin myth over the years, the most recognized by the scientific community is the slow overflow of the hot plasma itself from the stargate. It is believed that as soon as the spacecraft approaches the gate at the appropriate velocity, angle, and transition drive frequency, the hot plasma will be attracted from the gate's particle range and attach itself to the spacecraft. According to this theory, the interaction between the plasma and the spacecraft's energy shield produces a short, brilliant, and harmless multispectral light.

With the passage of time, perhaps due to the development of advanced portal technology over the years, the appearance rate of this scene has greatly decreased. Most of these rare discoveries are just elaborate tricks. As a result, the Ian-Aosta system is no longer as busy as it once was, and it has become a silent road. However, it is still possible to see people wandering here once in a while, hoping to catch a glimpse of the fabulous beauty.

Although it's just a backstory, Fozzie tweeted that this is an early-stage PVE trigger. This chronicle is more like a backstory expanded into an easter egg.

Indeed, there are many people who believe that this story has something to do with hibernators, such as similar light effects, suddenly active in YC 115, etc., and some even go so far as to discuss the rationality of this theory at length Childrenlightsleeper connection?. But personally, I think too deep and too detailed interpretations are too far-fetched. This story has never been dug much before, and what about in the future? Maybe.

Maybe this feature doesn't have much practical value in terms of setting or actual gameplay, but at least, it's fun.
