Chapter 190: Beacons
Lu Yuan strode to the 12th deck, where the beacon and the various temporary storage points for the incoming cargo were located, which was located near the edge of the Dawn, and there were many special quarantine measures in place. On the way, he met Zhao Min and Ke Xue, who rushed to hear the news, and Twilight Xing, who followed from afar (not Mu Xing, the two are always separated now, operating in two lines).
Twilight smiled and beckoned to him, deliberately straightening her chest, apparently telling him not to admit the wrong person, not to trouble us - we are the Twilight Star of the D cup, not the Mu Star of the B cup. Lu Yuan shook his head, were you infected by Mu Xing's naivety? If someone on the "Gagarin" space station notices that Mu Xing's cup/cup changes frequently, they will definitely feel ...... She used a magic bra.
However, in the event of an unforeseen risk, he asked several people to go upstairs to the observation room to watch and keep a certain distance from the beacon for the time being.
"Over here," said one of the geths who had come to greet him. "Thank you", Lu Yuan nodded. Geth are very intelligent, and they are very good learners. Although the geth is still a long way from being truly human, they are already able to simulate it well in their daily lives.
Speaking of which, the rush is basically walking, and the notification is basically roaring, which doesn't seem cool at all - at least not like a high-tech spaceship. But this is a decision made jointly by Lu Yuan and Ms. Liming after discussion. In addition, there are plenty of holidays outside of work, plenty of recreational facilities and an internet connection to the outside world. This is to ensure that the crew of the Dawn are able to maintain normal interpersonal interactions and avoid falling into autism, decay, forgetfulness and self-denial......
The good side of this is that the staff has a good social life and will not stay at home; But the bad side is that it is too lively and likes to spread all kinds of gossip......
Therefore, on the Dawn, it is becoming more and more impossible to hide secrets. Especially since it's home to a bunch of engineers who think they're living in a matrix. When a group of curious geels and a group of greenskins who are afraid of chaos in the world, the three gangs of guys who are not afraid of death will ask about everything - as the name is called - "looking for the truth of the world".
So when Lu Yuan came to deck 12. It's become full of people. Humans, Greenskins, and geth huddled together without any barriers - this is about Martin. What will Lutheran King's dream look like when it comes true? Luckily, though, the geth are a fairly obedient race. The geese who assisted Lu Yuan in transporting the goods formed a column of human walls, keeping the good deeds out of the storage area.
Seeing Lu Yuan's arrival, the crowd consciously separated a passage - otherwise, it would be very painful for everyone to let Lu Yuan squeeze through, and the engineers were very good at learning lessons. In the direction of the crowd was a cabin that had been thoroughly cleaned out. The container containing the beacon rested against the wall, halfway open - but it was already visible. The beacon pillar, which lay horizontally, began to emit a glowing green light.
After Lu Yuan approached, he carefully observed the beacon. He then waved his hand behind him, "This thing is dangerous, get out!" ”
"Protest against dictatorship! Protest against the might! Strongly demand to know the truth! "The engineers are leading and shouting, but you are going backwards?" waa――aaa――aagh!” Rock 'n' roll, it's greenskin. Only the geths retreated honestly as they were told. To be honest, they were also forcibly brought in by others before.
"Bang la la~" Four turrets were erected from the side, and the revoltuous machine guns on them were slightly warmed up. Pour fire on the crowd without warning! "Wow~" The "demonstrators" who were beaten a little painfully scattered and fled, "Huh? It's candy this time?! "Someone found the truth about the bullet and happily collected some and took it away. So the scene changed from guns chasing people to people chasing guns. A piece of joy.
This is one of the scheduled shows on the Dawn, and each time the ammunition is different, with little surprises (the most terrifying ammunition is the octopus balls, alive...... )。 Anyway, everyone is wearing personal armor, and it is absolutely impossible to get hurt. Mass-Effect guns, on the other hand, can be fired as long as they contain metallic elements.
Why do you think there are metal elements in candy? This kind of thing is curious, are you still from Huaxia......
The opaque door closed behind Lu Yuan, blocking the big faction behind him. Lu Yuan directly cast the "Hand of Bigbai" and directly erected this nearly 100-meter-tall Proxian creation.
Beacons are as tall as a building of several stories. But the main part is only a few meters wide, except for a wide base at the bottom. The top and bottom are straight, with a more elongated antenna-like object extending from the top. The whole looks like a slender and narrow monument.
The material of the beacon is a mixture of plastic and glass, with a translucent green color and a smooth appearance. However, when Lu Yuan got closer, he could find that the green material was like amber, which seemed to be solidified by liquid, and its interior was wrapped with bundles of metal "lines", which were scattered, combined, and extended, making the whole building like a huge number of chips.
Upon arriving on the Dawn, it was these thin metal wires that began to glow outward, bringing the entire "Beacon" to life.
Lu Yuan gently pressed his hand on the surface of the beacon...... Nothing happened. After thinking about it, he tentatively stretched out his spiritual power tentacles towards the beacon......
*****
The beacon is a warning about the Reaper attack left by the previous civilization Prothean to the successors!
The whole story of Mass Effect starts with a beacon......
Unlike the Dawn Regiment led by Lu Yuan, they knew the truth about the Reaper and the 50,000-year reincarnation early, and they have been actively arranging and working hard to produce, always pointing their fingers at the Reaper!
At present, the civilized races of the entire galaxy are actually ignorant of the Reaper invasion!
At present, the only two people who have learned the truth while exploring the ruins are Jack, an earthling. Haber, who incarnated as the "Phantom Man" and formed the Cerberus Organization to secretly cultivate human power to fight the Reapers;
The other is Saren. Atrus, a turbulent elite, a ghost agent of the Citadel. He obtained a dreadnought-class battleship from the ruins, the "Overlord" Reaper. Because of his older brother Nicks. Atrus, who disappeared during an attack on the human colony of New Shanxi (the one killed by Lu Yuan in the first three chapters), Saren is extremely hostile to humans. The idiot didn't know that the powerful battleship he had acquired was actually "alive". Sitting on the bridge all day long, Harpy was brainwashed by electromagnetic waves and completely "indoctrinated".
Saren believes that galactic civilizations cannot resist the Reaper. Only obedience and active assistance in the return of the Reaper is the way for civilization to survive. Therefore he is in the shadows. Actively prepare for the return of the Reapers.
If things go according to normal conditions, humanity should end up with the same fate as the Prothean - the Citadel space station has opened a passage to the galaxy, and the Reapers have all returned in an instant! All Mass Effect repeaters were shut down, civilizations were divided into different airspaces, and the resistance was torn apart, eventually being harvested by the Reapers one by one (including the humans who caught the last train, of course......
Then the stars intersect and the universe cycles. The old civilization became history, and the new civilization gradually emerged. Then someone happened to find a closed Mass Effect repeater......
However, everything is afraid of but.
Shepard, who was on his own ghost testing mission, happened to encounter a "beacon" left by a Prothean on Eden. Shepard inadvertently touches the beacon and obtains a warning message left by the Protheus. Later, on her journey to kill Salen, she gradually figured out the meaning of this message, and finally stopped Salen's plot - so the future of the entire galactic civilization completely embarked on a different path.
*****
"Is that so?" Feeling the information transmitted back by the spiritual tentacles, Lu Yuan said to himself with a smile.
The reason why Shepard feels that the information infused by the beacon is confusing and incomprehensible - it is because the different levels of civilization have different ways of exchanging information. Civilization of the previous generation. The Prothean people have evolved to the level of communicating with the guò spirit, and the messages they leave behind are of course spiritualized. However, Proxian's information met Sister Xue's "primitive human" general human brain. became playing the piano to the cow, and almost washed Sister Xue into an idiot.
Shepard later learned the Prosen's way of thinking from the ancient plant Solian, and it was only then that he unraveled the warning message.
But Lu Yuan doesn't need to be like this, for magicians, in order to communicate with creatures summoned from various dimensions, spiritual communication is their basic skill. Although most of the information inside the beacon has not yet been activated, Lu Yuan has already obtained some interesting information.
Lu Yuan manipulated the multi-purpose tool, opened the cabin wall in front of him to both sides, and then formed a new hull behind him. Evacuate Lu Yuan and the beacon to the outside of the capsule and expose them to the outer universe.
The aftermath of the shelling of the Blue Giant is still alive today. The entire galaxy is littered with chaotic radiation turbulence, even in the shadow of the cantilever. Lu Yuan hid himself in the subspace. Quietly observe the beacon pillar. Sure enough, when it was completely exposed to the radiation of the universe, the beacon pillar seemed to be rejuvenated, and began to devour the cosmic rays in a big gulp, and gradually brightened!
In fact, the Prothean people left countless warning messages for the next civilization. Although a large number of beacon pillars have been damaged and broken in the long years of 50,000 years, there are also many that have been preserved intact - such as the one in front of Lu Yuan's eyes.
But most of them are buried deep in the ground and do not see the light of day. And importantly, these beacon pillars are basically depleted of energy and have become "waste" in the eyes of others. And the existing technology simply cannot "recharge" the creation of Protsen.
When the pillar is inside the Dawn, it will suddenly react, and that is because it absorbs the energy of the wireless energy supply that is everywhere on the Dawn, and restarts. However, after activation, the column did not absorb any further energy, and only published a layer of surface information. Therefore, Lu Yuan guessed that the real charging method of this column was likely to be radiant energy.
Sure enough, when he moved the pillar out of the cabin, the "beacon" immediately came alive!
Lu Yuan sent a "I am safe" signal to the twilight stars, and he immediately closed his eyes, stretched out countless spiritual tentacles to the beacon, and read them carefully. (To be continued) R580
