Chapter 888: A Glimpse

It comes from the starry sky.

Gawain stared at the shield of the Guardian of the Kingdom in front of him, his gaze skimming over the weathered and rusted metal attachments that covered the shield and landed on the silver-white metal plate that was the main body of the shield.

The faint and shimmering silver dots of light on the metal plate still pulsated slowly as if they were alive, as if breathing, it had no life, but it seemed to have been "alive" for millions of years.

After learning more about the secrets of the "God-killing Fleet", after roughly confirming that this piece of metal came from the starry sky, and after speculating that this thing might be connected with his "satellite body", Gawain couldn't help but feel more emotion and thought in his heart when he looked at it.

He shook his head, banishing all the extraneous thoughts from his mind, then glanced at Amber who was waiting next to him, then withdrew his gaze, rested his hand on the silver-glittering alloy body, and allowed his psychic power to spread into the metal's interior, just as he had done when he had communicated with the Eternal Slate.

In the first few seconds, nothing happened, Gawain felt that there was only a huge emptiness at the end of his spiritual power, the interior of the ancient starry sky heritage was empty, there was no new fleet battle report coming, and there was no information left by the ancient forerunners for future generations, but in the next second, Gawain's mind suddenly exploded with a loud bang!

He instantly lost the perception of his body, and his five senses and six senses seemed to be all dislocated at this moment, and his perception ability as a human being was replaced by a more superior and complex "perception", and his body at the moment was simply unable to process this heterogeneous information - so he felt that his consciousness was stripped away and linked to a new "container", and his senses began to be "overwritten", refreshed again and again, calibrated again and again, and finally, a completely different from his original satellite ontology. A much larger stream of data successfully connected to him.

He heard a "voice" coming directly into his head: "Visitor enters the firmament system...... Confirm that it is a unique connection. A provisional escalation is in progress. Temporary permissions have been granted. ”

Gawain stabilized his spirit, and the violent and turbulent sensory dislocation inevitably brought a certain amount of panic and nervousness, but as a satellite spirit who had long been accustomed to being hung in the sky and turning on the "inhuman perspective", he was experienced in this area - after making sure that his mind still belonged to him, and that there was no sign of tampering or control, he began to look in the darkness for clues that would help the current situation.

There was only darkness, or rather a curtain of chaos, and he couldn't see or hear anything, but he could feel that there were many entities "around" around him that were connecting with the "container" he was currently inhabiting, and this "container" seemed to have opened up some kind of access to him, but due to the logic of human thinking, he could not use this permission smoothly for a short time.

However, this is not a problem, he has experience with satellite systems, and if these things are left over from the original god-killing fleet, then there must be something in common between their systems.

After several attempts, Gawain finally grasped some tricks, and he felt that his closed senses began to loosen somewhat, and with this sense of loosening, something other than darkness appeared in an instant in front of his "eyes" -

A view over the earth.

Gawain was startled at first, almost thinking that he was back in the state of "satellite spirit", but soon he confirmed that his consciousness was still free and should be able to "return" to his body at any time, and then he found that the perspective overlooking the earth in front of him was very different from the picture he had seen through the surveillance satellite before-

The midpoint of the perspective has changed! The continent that used to be in the center of the field of vision is now above the entire field of vision, and below the field of vision, there is a large ocean!

It didn't take long for him to realize why:

He entered another space facility, and the orbit or main monitoring perspective of this space facility was different from his previous "satellite view".

There are other space stations or satellites outside the atmosphere of this planet that are still in operation!!

Gawain controlled his slightly agitated mood and began to manipulate his new perspective very unfamiliarly, his gaze swept over the continent of Lorennan, over the huge forest islands of the elves, he looked at the endless ocean, and in the rolling atmosphere, he first looked at the sea southwest of the continent.

A faintly artificial structure appeared on the edge of his field of vision.

It's a man-made facility that can be seen in space!

In an instant, a series of information emerged in Gawain's memory: in the ancient era of the Elven Inheritance, the primordial elves came from the western part of the continent across the sea, and they found a high tower in the endless ocean and recklessly entered it......

The location of that tower is in the southwest of the Loren Continent, on the Endless Ocean!

Could it be that what I saw was the tower that the primordial elves had found on the sea?

However, Gawain soon realized that he could only see a small part of the facility, only a small part of its base and its huge shadow cast on the surface of the sea, which was already the size of a giant island rising out of the ocean, and there were a large number of neat, metallic extension brackets extending from its main body into the sea—he could only see so much.

As he tried to extend his gaze further to the southwest, a cold synth voice came into his mind: "Error, C-16 area cannot be activated, subsystem offline." ”

Gawain was stunned for a moment, and tried to move the camera in the direction of the pedestal again, but the prompt in his head immediately came again: "Error, C-16 area cannot be activated, subsystem offline." ”

This system prompt from nowhere made Gao Wen think, and after a moment of thought, he began to move his gaze in the other direction-

……

In the vast expanse of space, a vibrant planet orbits a gas giant that emits endless energy.

The steel sentinels left behind by the ancient ancestors still faithfully guard the world, even though they are scarred and broken.

Above the planet, outside the atmosphere, large and small space facilities operate silently, space stations and satellites in orbit for countless years float in the vast darkness, in this place full of cold and dead silence, these ancient devices that have been in continuous operation for thousands of years are maintaining a minimum of communication and data collection, and among them, the largest one is still sleeping-

It circled the planet in a majestic manner, tens of thousands of miles of steel covered in scars and dim lights that were almost extinguished, and the surface of the giant ring in the planet's synchronous orbit was covered with heavy armor in some places, and in other places a transparent polymer dome could be seen—within the dome, which was a long-abandoned living or research facility, all of which maintained near-eternal silence in dead silence.

Starlight from the far reaches of space shone across the endless darkness on the ancient ring of space, faintly illuminating its armor and the chambers that had sunk into the darkness.

But suddenly, a small part of the giant ring of space "woke up", on the side towards the surface of the planet, there were several lights suddenly lit up, and the corresponding ring compartment also appeared in the light of the light that went on and off, the maintenance robot that had been hibernating for millions of years came out of the dormant chamber, and the sophisticated and advanced detection drone moved quickly along the slide rail on the inside of the ring, and the behemoth seemed to stretch its waist, as if it was going to break free from this long sleep in the next second.

However, the awakening process soon came to an abrupt halt - the area where the lights were lit ended up remaining in a small area on the inner side of the ring, and the rest of the entire Great Ring remained dead silent, with no response in the darkness.

On the side of the Great Ring facing the earth, outside a darkened chamber structure, there was a massive gap, radial lacerations stretching from the armor cladding to the polymer dome, some fragments still floating near the gap, the internal airtight doors had been automatically blocked, the energy system had been offline years ago, and the sparks and smoke had dissipated into the depths of space, leaving only terrible scars and a few drops of pale golden blood......

……

"Error, C-18 area cannot be activated, subsystem offline."

"Takeover failed, error, C-18 area could not be activated, subsystem offline, backup system unresponsive."

A continuous stream of prompts sounded in his "head", and Gawain finally gave up his futile efforts.

His gaze fell on the end of the ocean to the southeast of the Loren continent, far from human civilization, on the opposite side of the endless ocean, he could already see the outline of a winding coastline.

He remembered the information he had received from the Kraken and Selena Gehr's branch—

Seven hundred years ago, Gawain Cecil and the Last of the Storm Priests embarked on a mysterious voyage that first headed to the eastern part of Loren and then, with the help of the Siren, made their way to the safe passage to the south......

To the southeast of Loren, Gawain Cecil's expedition discovered a new continent, and in the depths of that continent there was a giant tower that reached to the sky......

That tower seems to have some connection with the giant tower that the elven ancestors saw on the southwest sea, and when Gawain Cecil went into the depths of the continent alone, he most likely climbed the giant tower and received some kind of "revelation" from the tower......

Now, Gawain was almost 100 percent sure that he had seen the New World.

The information that had existed only in intelligence had been confirmed, and the evidence that had been obliterated into history was now witnessed by him.

A new continent to the southeast of Loren Continent exists! The continent that Gawain Cecil visited back then is across the far sea to the east of the Silver Empire!

But he could only confirm the existence of the continent, but could not see the depths of the continent - although he now had a wider perspective, he still couldn't break through the limits of the observation range.

The tower on the ocean, he could at least see the base and part of the tower, the direction of the continent...... All he could see was the coastline.

Gawain's gaze moved from east to west, and from west to east, and every time he reached the end of his vision, a chime would sound in his head that the subsystem was offline.

This is not the same when using satellites to observe the earth - there will be no such prompts when using satellite observations, the edge of the field of view is the margin, and there will be no false alarms.

The fact that the subsystem is offline so that it cannot activate other areas, and that it is impossible to activate other areas so that it is impossible to observe things outside of the field of view indicates that a space facility he is now connected to is far larger than he imagined - this space facility should have been able to observe the two giant towers, and even objects further away.

It's just that for some reason, most of its structure is currently offline, so much so that Gawain can only activate a portion of its "shots".

In a strange state of inhuman senses, Gawain slowly pondered, he could not "see" his own state, nor could he determine his surroundings, and with only one perspective towards the earth, he could only judge what he was connecting with by speculation.

This may be a much larger in-orbit facility than a satellite, with a more complex structure and function, and it may be divided into several modules, each of which can operate on its own – which could explain the problem with the damaged areas and subsystems.

So...... Is there a way for him to figure out what's wrong, or try to fix it? For example, start an automatic repair function or something......

Gawain knew that his thoughts were a bit whimsical, but he still subconsciously gave instructions in his "head" - he didn't know exactly how to ask or order, so he could only try slowly:

"How's the subsystem doing?"

"Error, unable to query subsystem."

"Do you have any repair options?"

The system prompt is silenced back.

"Is there any redundancy system that can replace that subsystem?"

The chime is still silent.

Gawain then tried several different questions, but still didn't get the answers he wanted.

The so-called subsystem seems to be quite broken, and the voice that responds in its own head doesn't have any repair options available for it itself - it may even be so bad that it doesn't even respond to certain problems.

In the end, Gawain reluctantly asked one last question: "How did the damage happen?" ”

This time, the prompt tone, which had been silent for several rounds of questions and answers, unexpectedly responded, and Gawain immediately heard a voice ringing in his head: "Caught the keyword...... After the query is complete, the system log is played. ”

Before Gawain could come up with any thoughts, he felt a flower in front of his eyes, and in the next second, he saw a new scene appear in his field of vision:

It still looked like a picture overlooking the earth, but there were more symbols and words with parameters around the picture, showing the planetary data at that time and the giant planet energy readings, respectively, and he realized that this was an observation from a long time ago, and deduced from it that this thing had been running autonomously without the intervention of his "satellite spirit", and continued to collect information about the planet!

With these thoughts, he began to take a serious look at this long-ago video record.

At first, the image was only a near-static land and atmosphere, and this image lasted for nearly half a minute.

Then, a ray of brilliance suddenly appeared in Gawain's field of vision!
