Chapter 521: Sanctuary
Seeing the psionic flame again today, he was a little stunned, if he could really repair the dimensional roaming terminal and reach the other star systems in the "Lost Lands", what if the equipment there was also damaged in the battle and needed to be reactivated? Isn't he in danger of being drained?
Freya looked at his somewhat gloomy side face, thinking that he was feeling sorry for the statues guarding the ground, so she put her arms around his back from behind, blindfolded him, and said "empathetically", "Are you feeling sorry for them?" So be it...... Freya is good for your eyes? β
Tang Fang smiled dumbly, grabbed her hand and took it away from her face: "Silly girl, who did you learn this from?" β
She said seriously: "Sister Claire, she said that your task is to protect us, and our task is to take care of you, and she also said that girls should look like girls, and told me not to learn from Sister Zhou Ai." β
"Ah...... What to do? What to do? She suddenly looked like a little girl who had accidentally broken her beloved glass, and she was about to cry.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Claire said that she wouldn't let me tell anyone else, I ...... I was careless...... Woo, woo...... What can I do? β
"Poof-ha-ha." Tang Fang couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart that Claire is usually the eldest sister and sister Zhou Ai, and she can wear a skirt, so she also has such careful thoughts.
"You're still laughing." Freya looked at him angrily.
"Okay, I'm not smiling...... Don't smile," although he said this, the smile in his eyes was still strong.
Freya pouted with two cheeks, stomped her feet angrily, and said loudly: "You swear, you are not allowed to tell others, especially Sister Zhou Ai." β
Tang Fang raised two fingers and said to the sky, "Okay." I swear not to. He lowered his head to look at the little girl and said, "It's all done." β
Freya nodded, hugged his cheek and kissed him quickly, then fled into the distance like a naughty child, her fluttering clothes bringing a touch of life to the empty hall.
He wiped the saliva from his cheeks and smiled helplessly. Ignoring her, he walked over to the Dimensional Roaming Terminal Psionic Flame and stretched out his hands, allowing the filaments of light to gently adhere to the backs of his hands.
The diamond crystal above burst into a dazzling light, and the faint blue streamer spread along the texture of the "door" building, floor, and wall to the surroundings, one after another Ξ΅ runes lit up, and the crystals of the roof sprinkled starlight-like light, illuminating the deep hall that was several kilometers long.
The left and right pillars of the dimensional "door" bounced into a blue-blue arc of light, distorting in the middle of time and space. Gradually, a light curtain of undulating water ripples appeared.
At this time, two "Cupids" flew to a touch platform in another area of the main hall and connected to the connection with the control hub, and about a few seconds later, there was a rumbling sound from the ground, and the floor about 500 meters behind the dimensional roaming terminal was retracted and separated, and a row of huge crystal pipe arrays slowly rose.
The Ξ΅ runes corresponding to the roof lit up, and the plate split in two from the center. Retracted into the ceiling mezzanine, the massive crystal pipes continue to rise. Through the huge skylight, it is level with the roof of the main hall.
The metal structure at the root of the crystal pipe array extends outwards to form a staircase, with the floor joined below and a row of electronics staggered above. The light flowed, and various Ipsi dragon symbols wandered across the crystal screen.
At the same time, the Tang side received a message from "Cupid", and in an instant, Behemoth appeared in the low-altitude orbit of "Tikal". Two Hercules transport planes and five medical transport planes flew out of the "pocket" and slowly landed on the roof of the main hall, and more than a dozen SCVs poured cesium-containing minerals and iridium-containing minerals, as well as palladium, platinum and several other unrefined minerals into the hovering car pocket of the crystal pipeline, and slowly slid downward.
Several king worms descended from the folds of Behemoth, and at the edge of the "Ecological Stand" at the entrance of the main hall, a number of sealed jars containing the zero elements needed to keep the main hall running.
About 5 minutes later, the rune door leading to the warehouse in the main hall opened, and 15 "Cupids" and several unmanned engineering operation vehicles joined the processes of transporting zero elements, monitoring the refining progress, cutting and integrating, and embedding AI core cores.
The underground part of the main hall is like a modular automatic production line, awakening from silence and slowly running.
As a vassal facility of the "Ashtolando" system, it encompasses the entire process of manufacturing dimensional locks and accessories required for dimensional roaming terminals, such as refining various mineral resources, material cutting, deep processing, digital jΓΉ writing, assembly, etc.
The unmanned engineering operation vehicles compressed the zero-element fluid into a dark blue square, injected it into the reactor built on the base of the main hall through the energy delivery window, and then turned to an annex hall next to the warehouse, pulling the neatly arranged dark gold polymer into the location of the dimensional roaming terminal in the center of the main hall.
One "Cupid" stopped monitoring operations, flew to the back of the unmanned engineering operation vehicle, stretched out its arm, and the sleek crystal structure at the front end changed for a while, drilled out a probe structure, pressed on the central node of the dark gold polymer, and the silver light spread rapidly on the surface of the polymer like a crack, and finally became one.
Cupid's right eye shot out a light blue curtain of light, and countless Ipsi dragon symbols flowed rapidly, forming rune ribbons that merged into the polymer hub chipset.
As concocted, the unmanned engineering operation vehicle rear bucket 27 pieces of polymer operation, "Cupid" two steps back, those polymers slowly floated by the body, assembled and combined in a certain order, forming a cube of about 3 meters, rotating clockwise in mid-air, emitting slight energy fluctuations.
Tang Fang walked to the "door" and looked at the cube suspended in mid-air, no, it should be called the dimensional lock, he never thought it would be in such a form, according to his thoughts, it should be more complicated.
Emma quickly corrected his point of view, the seemingly simple cube structure of the dimensional lock is actually far from the case, because the universe he is in can only be expressed in a three-dimensional effect, and if it is placed in the subspace network constructed by the dimensional roaming terminal, the dimensional lock will be expressed in a different form.
Tang Fang felt that it was better to keep his mouth shut, he was very afraid that Emma would conduct popular science education on the issue of multidimensionality, which would be no less than a kind of torture for him, but fortunately, "Cupid" sent a message in time, asking him to designate a damaged dimensional lock of the subspace network to replace, so he quickly ordered Emma to call up the dimensional lock topography map.
Because the overall structure of the "Ashtolando" system is similar to the human Internet mechanism, there are some master nodes, and these master nodes are responsible for the important "routing" function, and it is difficult for a dimensional lock to support. It is often necessary to combine multiple dimensional locks into clusters to form a dimensional lock matrix, which undoubtedly increases the consumption of raw materials.
According to Cupid's calculations, the resources in Behemoth's body are not enough to repair the entire network, and can only make up for some needs, which Tang Fang has long been prepared for, and Emma also made such an estimate at the beginning. Moreover, even if the local network is repaired, the "Ashtolando" basilica of the star system in this area may not be preserved to support the precise transmission of individual organisms.
Of course, this is not a big problem, because once the "Ashtolando" system is repaired, even if only partially, the dimensional storm that ravages the multidimensional space will slowly dissipate, making warp speed navigation based on the warp engine possible.
Therefore. He had to focus and choose a roadmap to get the most value with the least amount of consumption.
There are many star systems on the periphery of the "Lost Lands", and he doesn't know which star system contains the information to unlock the Protoss technology, or the rich Epsilon legacy, so he can only focus on the three star systems of "Gamma-3", "Delta-5", and "Alpha-7" based on the information obtained from the scrapped observatory where the "Lookout" was unlocked in "Solna".
Soon. "Cupid" responded, "Gamma-3" and "Delta-5" two star systems can be tried. However, "Alpha-7" is too far away from "Omega-2", and there are too many nodes that need to be repaired in the middle, which is difficult to achieve with the current amount of resources.
He seriously recalled, what was in the "Alpha-7...... A 3,000-kilometer-class space facility for the construction of the Ipsi Dragon Battleship.
His face was a little ugly, and "Alpha-7" was the best-preserved of the three star systems. It is also probably the most valuable star system.
But the shape shì is stronger than a human, no matter how unhappy he is, he can only accept this reality, and order "Cupid" to carry out partial repairs according to the route of "Omega-2" - "Gamma-3" - "Delta-5".
Cupid synchronizes this command to each individual, and then pushes the dimensional lock. Enter the "door" structure and disappear into that shimmering light curtain.
At the same time, the psionic flame projected a light curtain outward, showing the advancement of "Cupid" in the subspace tunnel in real time, and the unmanned engineering operation vehicle re-entered the annex next to the warehouse, pulling out another batch of dark gold polymers to make dimensional locks.
It seemed that the repair work would take a long time, so I hesitated to go back to the shuttle and rest for a while, and then come back when the time was almost over.
At this moment, Freya, who was wandering and playing in the hall, suddenly called out to him and walked over.
There were several statues guarding the girl not far in front of her, and she was squatting on the ground, picking out something from an elbow-high broken hand, and when Tang Fang walked over, she finally finished her task and pulled out a necklace-like thing.
Her little face was flushed, and it seemed that she had exerted a lot of effort just now, and when she heard the footsteps behind her, she seemed to have to show him the thing.
Underneath the necklace is a long prismatic crystal that reflects a soft starlight in the light, which is fascinating.
He thought it might be a weapon, because Freya had pulled it out of the palm of the severed arm, intending to treat it with caution, but it was still slow, and the daredevil, like an ankle ring, urged the current in his body to inject into the crystal.
The starlight exploded, and a sea of starlight spread out around it, colorful and beautiful.
Tang Fang was startled, until he realized that there was no problem, then he breathed a sigh of relief and scolded her for being reckless, if it was a mini bomb or something, wouldn't let her die.
Freya tilted her head and said that such a beautiful necklace, how could it be a bomb, if it was her, she would be reluctant to make it into a bomb and destroy it, what a pity.
"Don't try to reason with women, that will turn you into a fool."
Tang Fang remembered a sentence he had heard before, so he simply shut up, feeling that since the crystal necklace was just an upgraded version of the "fairy stick", he would simply let her play with it.
Who knew that this idea had just fallen, the light dimmed, and the stardust intertwined in mid-air with realistic holographic figures.
Of course, it may be a bit inappropriate to describe them as human figures, as they are all Ipsilons.
The first time Freya saw the appearance of the Ipsi Dragon, her small mouth expanded into a round O-shape, and because of her excitement, her posture of holding the crystal necklace was a little unstable, and her image trembled. Slight distortion occurs.
Tang Fang walked over, grabbed her hand from behind, and looked ahead with a stern expression.
Unlike the memoir of the girl Nami Star saw, this image involves a number of Ipsilons, numbering hundreds, wearing robes made of unknown materials. The above is the same picture, or it is more appropriate to call it a totem, giving people a sense of solemnity and solemnity.
A purple-crowned, old-looking Ipsilon, handed a vessel woven of herbs into the hands of a couple, and bowed to a hurricane-like mass in the distance, followed by those who followed him, including the couple.
At this time, Tang Fang finally saw clearly the object in the vessel, which was a small baby. Wrapped in a layer of translucent cloud-like colored substance, he fell into a sweet sleep.
He looked up at the colorful hurricane hanging in the air, and found that it was very similar to the flowing clouds that wrapped the baby, and what was even more strange was that the hurricane was at rest, like a seven-colored torch.
Freya looked at the hurricane and muttered, "It's so beautiful......"
The image freezes, and the light spot shakes. Violent distortion occurs, and the crystal in the middle of the necklace becomes dim. The surrounding starlight slowly faded.
She was surprised and said, "Why not?" β
Tang Fang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Maybe it's because the number stored in the crystal was damaged in the battle. β
The crystal necklace was made from Freya's severed arm from the statue's guard, and inside was a figurative portrait of the Ipsi Dragons, so many people gathered together, it looked like some kind of thanksgiving ceremony.
The moment he saw the hurricane's mass, a word "Luad Khharkona" suddenly flashed through his mind. If you were to find a human word to explain it, it would mean "sanctuary".
It's a strange feeling, knowing that it's a "sacred place", but you can't understand why it's sacred and what it represents. It's really paradoxical that he understands the Epsilon script, but he doesn't understand the Epsilon culture.
And that baby, what is the origin of the exactly? What is the relationship with the "Sanctuary"?
Another question, since the crystal necklace is a relic of the Ipsi dragons, why did it appear in the hands of the statue guards? If this unmanned fighter was ordered to protect the necklace, it means that there should have been Ipsi dragons in the main hall at that time, but what about their corpses. Where did it go?
Thinking of the "Lost Lands", the "Eye of the Storm" in the center, the former glory of the Ipsi Dragons, and the Epic Creature and the Brotherhood member's right arm contain the Epsilon Genetic Component, these mysteries are like layers of fog, making people unpredictable.
Freya shook her little hand in front of his eyes and asked worriedly, "Tang Fang, what's wrong with you?" β
"I didn't ...... Nothing, just something weird. β
Brushed aside her little hand, looked around, and found that there were no other clues, so she turned around and walked towards the exit of the main hall, and decided to go back to the shuttle to rest for a while, last night because of the arrival of Bai Hao, Nehemia and others, I didn't sleep well, and now is the time to make up for sleep.
Freya followed behind him, asking as she went, "What about this necklace?" Can I wear it? β
Tang Fang thought for a while, took the storage bag from her hand and put it into the harsh environment protective suit, and said: "It's not good to do this, it's disrespectful to the deceased, and it's very unlucky." β
She said in her heart that the statue guards were not human, and the Ypsi Dragons would not necessarily die, but after thinking about it, she still forgot it, because she thought that this was fine, and Tang Fang would buy her better ones in the future.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Six hours later, the communication system of the Silver Moon shuttle sent out a short and urgent prompt sound, Tang Fang woke up from his slumber, checked the contents, and found that it was a message from "Cupid", saying that goal 1 had been achieved, the subspace tunnel connecting "Omega-2" to "Gamma-3" had been repaired, and the dimensional storm was slowly dissipating, and the dimensional roaming terminal could be used to teleport in about half an hour.
He quickly woke up Freya, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, put on his protective suit, and returned to the main hall the same way.
The refining of the minerals continues, and the Cupid and the unmanned engineering operation vehicle tirelessly cycle through the processes, and according to the news sent by the medical transport plane, the mineral reserves in Behemoth's body have been reduced by half and will be exhausted in about five hours.
Instructed Emma to carefully monitor the progress of the repair of the subspace tunnel, he turned on the psionic flame again, and according to the information fed back by the dimensional lock, waited for the dimensional storm to completely dissipate, set the teleportation target to the "Ashtolando" hall of "Gamma-3", and then walked to the "door" of the dimensional roaming terminal, looked at the light curtain and was silent, and then summoned a machine gunner and ordered to enter the "door".
After about 5 minutes, the image projected by the Psionic Flame showed that the transmission had been completed, and he tried to contact the Heavy and found that there was no response, and that the number of units in the Terran base had not decreased, indicating that the Heavy was still alive and was now in positions beyond the limit distance that the interstellar system could sense.
He looked back at Freya and asked, "Are you afraid?" β
The girl took his hand and wondered, "Why be afraid? β
In her inner world, as long as she can hold his hand like this, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Let's go."
He felt that he was not as good as a little girl, so he laughed at himself, put on his mask, and walked up the stairs, letting the dark blue light curtain drown the two of them one after another.
