Chapter 889: Record
The sudden glimmer of light in the corner of his vision made Gawain instantly refreshed.
He immediately perked up his spirits, staring at the sudden light, the playback speed of the image slowed down several times under his concentration, and all the details on the picture were vividly presented. His first instinct was to confirm the source of the light, and then realized that it was not coming from the surface, but from somewhere near the top of the planet's atmosphere - it seemed to appear there out of nowhere, without warning, without any trajectory, like an invisible door opening at the top of the atmosphere, and then an entity with incredible speed rushed in the direction of the orbital facility!
Then, the flying object grew larger and larger in Gawain's field of vision, and a clear shadow gradually appeared in the hazy light.
If his body was here at the moment, Gawain felt that he must have stared at his eyes to the maximum-
A holy, pale white glow shrouded in a giant deer emerged in the shadows, wrapped in a thin mass of air from the top of the atmosphere, dragging a ray-like trajectory containing a high-energy reaction behind him, through the cold, dead darkness of space, straight in the direction of the surveillance view—with an indomitable momentum, with a certain terrifying determination.
At a certain moment, when the giant deer was close enough, Gawain even saw through the image that his eyes were not mortal, but they seemed to contain human feelings, and Gawain felt that he had seen in them the complex emotions of seeing death as if he were at home and sacrificing his life.
However, this look was only fleeting.
In the next moment, the giant deer and the light it was enveloping had erupted into a large area of brilliant "flames" in the picture, and a powerful explosion burst out from the corner of the image, and countless fragments, sparks, and gas gushing out from the space station module filled the entire surveillance screen.
The image begins to shake violently, various alarms come to mind, and the structure of the space station (if it is a space station) reverberates with a continuous and terrifying loud noise, and in the rapidly distorted and dim image, Gawain sees the giant deer scarring down from its synchronous orbit, and some kind of flying device that emits golden light is rapidly attacking from outside the frame—perhaps the station's guards, who have awakened and begun their mission to destroy the invaders.
In the ensuing fires and explosions, the image ended.
In the darkness, a system prompt sounded from the depths of Gawain's "mind": "Historical log played—the above is from the last surveillance log of the C-16 area." ”
After a brief moment of silence and reflection, Gawain calmed down his violently turbulent mind and asked in his mind, "So...... Did the god of nature slam into the facility, causing all subsystems to go offline? ”
The system tone does not give any reply, and silence is the answer.
But Gawain didn't need an answer, because it was quite obvious - the giant deer's form was so distinctive that you could not be mistaken, and it was still lying quietly in the deepest part of the fortress of disobedience, imprisoned in the Shadow Realm by a pile of fragments of wreckage from antiquity, and the gods of nature created by the cultists of the Society of the End of All Things using the Divine Factor in the first place...... Compared to the truly holy figure, it is a complete imitation of a clumsy imitation.
"It really takes a big heart to deal with these things left behind by the god-killing fleet......" Gawain said to himself with a wry smile in his consciousness, "I just saw something...... The god of the head iron rushed into the synchronous orbit and crashed into the space station to commit suicide? ”
There are all slots in one sentence, but the biggest slot is that this sentence is true from beginning to end!
Gawain then tried to use the impact as a key point to search for more records, but he couldn't find anything of value in the facility's database other than the small surveillance footage he had already seen.
After a few moments, Gawain gave up on this attempt, and instead began to use this connection opportunity to uncover more secrets of the facility - considering that he had only established a connection with the facility through a piece of starry heritage, he was not sure if the connection would be stable, and if the connection was only once, he would not be able to disconnect easily.
After a large number of failed or unresponsive attempts, he finally got a worthy name from the intermittent feedback from the facility's master control system:
Sky Station - This is the name of the in-orbit facility that it is currently connected to.
At this moment, he can finally be sure that he is currently connected to a large space station, not a small surveillance satellite.
"Firmament Station......" Gawain repeated the name in his mind, and asked without much hope, "What is the function of Firmament Station?" What mission does it leave in orbit? ”
"Error, do not have query privileges or the higher-level database is not open, please check the data link, if you still have doubts, report this fault to the Supreme Technical Council."
Kind of an expected answer...... The main system of the Sky Station is clearly down, and it either does not respond to most of the problems, or it responds similarly.
Gawain wondered what the so-called "Supreme Technical Council" was, but no response was received to his question—but it didn't matter, the "Supreme Technical Council" would probably have disappeared into history.
"How many more facilities are still in orbit that are operational? How are they doing? He asked again.
This time, the main control system finally gave a somewhat useful answer: "Querying connected units...... The list of facilities in orbit is given. ”
In the next second, a set of three-dimensional panoramas of space facilities appeared in front of Gao Wen's "eyes" - he instantly recalled that he had seen a similar panorama before, it was an overview of the in-orbit facilities he had seen the last time he used the fragments of the "Eternal Slab", but soon, he realized that the image he saw this time was different from the last time-
The last time he saw was a more sketchy, seriously incomplete schematic diagram, the image representing the space facilities was just a point of light, and no details could be seen in the light spots, but this time, perhaps due to higher authority, or perhaps due to the special nature of the firmament station itself, what he saw was a miniature model, and the space facilities around the planet were all light blue translucent holograms - this display brought an astonishing amount of information.
One of the most stunningly striking of these is a ring-shaped facility of incredible size.
The facility is located above the planet's equator, and it circles the entire planet!
Just by looking at the comparison between it and the planets, Gawain could guess the scale of this ring-shaped facility, and he looked at the hologram "in front of him" in amazement, looking at the location of the ring-shaped facility in space, and finally realized that this thing was the facility he was currently connected to - the space station called "Firmament"!
He had imagined that this thing was huge, but he never imagined it to be so large! The last time he saw the schematic diagram through the Eternal Slate, the "firmament" was just a point of light orbiting the equator!
The difference between a schematic diagram and a miniature is nothing short of spectacular!
After a full dozen seconds of consternation, Gawain's mood slowly calmed down, and then a sentence kept echoing in his mind: for millions of years...... The sky above the Loren continent...... It's floating like this all the time?!
“…… Firmament...... Is this orbital ring? ”
Gawain muttered in his head as if to himself, and the cold, mechanical tone did not give any response.
Gawain was not surprised by this.
He regained his composure and concentration, his gaze wandering over the miniatures, trying to find his own "satellite", and he felt like he had found ...... In the sky above the Loren Continent, near the Sky Station, there are several flickering "small devices", which seem to be synchronized through some kind of spatial anchoring technology and the huge subject of the firmament, and monitor the direction of the Loren Continent in a directional manner, one of which may be the "container" that they have lived in for the past tens or even millions of years.
While stabilizing his connection to the Firmament Station, Gawain tried to see more from the holographic projection, focusing his attention on some of the in-orbit facilities, and after a few attempts, additional information finally emerged from the holograms—
"Glow One Station. Status: Hibernate Running, Database Offline, Primary System Offline, Energy Failure, Standby Energy: Very Low. Unable to wake up, action item: ignore/discarded. ”
"Zenith-7 satellite. Status: Severely damaged, all systems offline, orbit offset, backup energy: Very low. Unable to wake up, action item: ignore/discarded. ”
"First Starbridge. Status: Unknown, All Systems Offline, Space Anchor Failed, Orbit Offset, Backup Energy: No ......"
Gawain's gaze swept everything along the way, and all he saw was a handful of in-orbit facilities that indicated "low-power operation", and all that was left was a large number of damage reports and a glaring red alert.
Really...... It's similar to the last time I saw the panorama, except that the information is more complete and gives a deeper sense of how bad the situation is.
The shock he felt when he saw the holographic projection of the "Sky Dome Station" finally faded, and Gawain woke up and cooled down from his agitation, and he looked at the holograms orbiting the planets again, and suddenly felt that he was not looking at a brilliant high-tech creation, but at a huge tomb.
It's a cemetery, and the tombstones have stood for millions of years.
And the home of countless creatures on the Loren continent that have multiplied for generations...... It is the largest tomb in this staggering cemetery.
This association made him feel a little sad.
Soon, however, the sense of desolation that had surfaced in his heart was shattered by a sudden burst of vertigo.
Excruciating exhaustion and dizziness struck him from the depths of his consciousness, and Gawain felt that all of his senses were declining and dislocated at an even more terrible rate than when he had made a connection before, and he found himself losing his connection to the firmament station - an unprecedented sense of "soul dispersion" was rapidly robbing him of his ability to think normally!
However, just when he felt like he was about to fall into a deep sleep, a noisy, penetrating voice that seemed to make the dead noisy came from the boundless darkness, and pulled him back to the real world in an instant—
"Hey, old zongzi, wake up! Something is wrong with you! Oh mom, your shield is smoking! I'm greeting! Mom, you're smoking, too...... Oh, mom burned me to death! ”
Gawain opened his eyes suddenly, and in his severely blurred and distorted vision, in a state of dizziness, he saw a petite figure swaying in front of him, and felt that someone was shaking his shoulders vigorously.
The gaze finally focused, and the vague petite figure condensed into Amber's form.
Kovan struggled to concentrate and felt dizzy, but he didn't really faint - he found himself surrounded by an astonishing amount of heat, and the surface of the Guardian's Shield on the table was even glowing red, the place where the desk touched the shield was scorched, and the edges of the stacks of papers not far away were even curled.
As Gawain opened her eyes, Amber immediately jumped back half a step, shaking her hands vigorously and shouting, "Mom...... You're finally awake! You just smoked, you know? I suspect your clothes are burning up! ”
It was only at this time that Gawain regained his ability to think completely, and he realized that he had probably experienced a very thrilling situation just now—the process of establishing a connection with the Sky Station was completely different from a satellite connection, and some kind of extremely expensive "price" might have almost killed him.
It was Amber who "pulled" him back at the critical moment.
"I was in danger just now," Gawain looked at Amber who was jumping and shaking her hands, "thanks to you." ”
"Huh? Dangerous...... I'll just say it! There's something wrong with you smoking! Amber was stunned for a moment, and then became elated, "Then I have a meritorious guard!" Hey, I've been a guard for you for a few years, and I finally succeeded once......"
Gawain: "......"
