"At that time, the Holy See considered the problem from the same angle as you do now. That space field was not large, and the main army sent an extremely strong lineup of left-behind guards. You know, there's probably never been such a thing as a secret in human history. The only secrets that can be kept are those that haven't happened yet. No one knows how the dark world knew that spatial coordinates. They had a special plan to target the entire Imperial Academy of Sciences. In that war, the city where the space converter was set up was occupied, and the dark creatures adjusted the amplification intensity to the maximum, and an extremely large army of darkness directly killed it. We later learned that this is how the world of darkness understood the plan itself. They never imagined that all combatants would return alive, with the ultimate goal of destroying the core memory of the recording technology. Of course, if one or two particularly lucky guys can bring back a certain technology, then it means that the strategic purpose has been exceeded. ”

Su Hao took a deep breath and asked, "The Dark World has completed that plan?" ”

Dai Xiaolou nodded: "Their execution intentions are so resolute, they have sent a strong lineup of seven Dark Princes and as many as sixty Dark Dukes. In the process of attacking the city where the space converter is located, more than half of the dark creatures are killed, and the strongest of the remaining open the space passage to engage in a fierce battle with the legionnaires stationed in the space realm. Due to the disparity in strength, the two legion commanders who stayed behind at that time were killed in battle, and if it were not for the desperate struggle of the imperial forbidden army, I am afraid that they would not be able to support the arrival of reinforcements led by the emperor himself. All the Prince of Darkness and the Duke of Darkness were killed, but we suffered heavy losses ourselves. The remaining legions were almost completely wiped out, and the forbidden troops of the two warbands also suffered heavy casualties. However, no one expected that at the last moment, three dark kings would appear at the same time. They represent the beings at the top of the power of the dark world, who are equal to our emperor in terms of status and power. Although he was seriously injured by surprise, he still defeated them one by one with tenacious will. However, the core memory has been severely damaged, and more than 90 percent of the technical data has been destroyed. ”

"You may not understand it, but that's not sabotage in the ordinary sense. The Dark Lord knew that we could restore the broken machinery with guò technology. Even if the number jù is incomplete, it can be completed in stages by re-calculating it through guò. The reason why they have sent out all the high-end fighters and attacked frantically regardless of losses is to prevent this from happening. The three Dark Monarchs used their own energy as a guide in the space domain to shatter and detonate the entire information memory, thus triggering the energy turbulence within the entire space domain. Space Field 091 was completely blown up, and along with the information memory, it was reduced to countless fragments. Luckily, His Majesty the Emperor and the remnants returned to the Overworld at the last minute. Although the vitality was greatly damaged, it preserved the foundation for the continued existence of the empire. ”

"What about the Dark Lords? Are they all dead? ”

"I don't know."

Dai Xiaolou shook his head: "The scale of that battle was very large, the defense line in the northwest of the entire empire was breached, and a large number of monitoring posts were destroyed, so no one knew the accurate information about the withdrawal of the dark legion from the inner territory of the empire. The Emperor himself may know the whereabouts of the Dark Lords, but his injuries are too severe to be treated by entering the Golden Throne. In the following wars, the Dark King never appeared, and the highest-ranking dark nobles were only dukes. Moreover, there are fewer and fewer of them. ”

"Is there any necessary connection between blowing up information storage and blowing up the space domain?"

"Absolutely!"

Dai Xiaolou said with some emotion: "You can't imagine the glory of the human empire in science and technology tens of thousands of years ago. Even I myself can only imagine these magnificent traces in my mind through ancient records. All the members of the Academy of Sciences at that time were the creation of the emperor's own genes. They believe that technology can change the world and make the human empire always in a strong position in war. Despite the fact that the research on the space-time dislocation device was a mistake, they did not stop their research. It is said that even weapons such as space warships were prototyped at the 091 Space Field Test Site. That kind of weapon can be fully loaded with Imperial Legion soldiers, and without being affected by the evil energy of space, it can sweep every space field that may be dangerous. Due to the Holy See's overly cautious approach to technology, requiring all research projects to be confirmed as not posing a direct or indirect threat to the Emperor himself, these technologies were reviewed and verified again and again in the space in the form of mothballs. In that case, any attempt to leave 091 space with a number of jù is to be considered heretical. From a security standpoint, there's really nothing wrong with that. However, the Dark Lord blew up Space Realm 091. Although we can put all the information memory pieces together and restore all the technology in them, the space is ruined, and there is no way to repair it. ”

Speaking of this, Dai Xiaolou is particularly sentimental: "Compared with the researchers who used the emperor's genes in the records, the current Imperial Research Institute is like the difference between a primary school in a remote mountainous area and a key university. The damage caused to us by that war is simply immeasurable. The creatures of darkness teach us a lesson with their determination and cunning. We're losing too much of the technology that's being researched, or that's already getting results. After being seriously injured, the Emperor Xià was no longer able to extract the gene essence, so naturally he was unable to rebuild the same imperial researcher as before. Although the history of the empire continued for tens of thousands of years after that, the boundaries of technology and power have only stood still, or even regressed. ”

Su Hao thought for a moment and said, "You mentioned before that the relationship between the space domain and the overworld is relative. The bombing of Space Field 091 has affected this place? ”

"I don't know."

Dai Xiaolou said frankly: "I can only retell you what I have seen from those ancient classics. It is said that at that time, a strong earthquake occurred on the southern border of the empire, and there was a volcanic eruption even in the adjacent area of the Dark World. At that time, the time of the outbreak was exactly the same as the time period of the destruction of the space field 091. But whether there is a connection between the two, I'm afraid no one will know. ”

Su Hao sighed softly: "It's really a pity that so much science and technology have disappeared like this. ”

"No, you're wrong. They did not disappear, but simply wandered around the space realm in fragments. ”

Dai Xiaolou glanced at Su Hao deeply and said seriously: "You still don't seem to understand the relationship between the spatial realms. There are many of them, and the technology we currently have is not enough to explain the phenomenon of spatial existence. But one thing is for sure, these spatial realms move on their own, and there is a pattern to them. They expand or shrink, albeit slightly, but they do exist. ”

"You mean, they're alive?"

"I don't know!"

Dai Xiaolou was obviously annoyed by Su Hao's repeated mention of issues that he couldn't know, and raised his voice: "I just said what I knew." Like you ask a primary school student what is one plus one? He will tell you that the answer is equal to two. But if you ask him about math problems like calculus, his table xiàn is no different from a fool. ”

This analogy was very ridiculous, but Su Hao couldn't refute it, so he could only sit down and listen carefully to Dai Xiaolou's words.

"The information memory uses extremely advanced materials and technology. It is not composed of electronic components, but uses the special properties of the constituent materials themselves to store the correlation numbers in them according to the aggregate characteristics of the elements themselves. The Emperor had foreseen the possible destruction of the memory, and the repair technology remained in the Overworld, overseen by the Holy See. No amount of intensity, the explosion will transform the memory of information from a physical object into an elemental form. The worst possible outcome is that it is blown to shreds and turned into extremely tiny particles. After the end of the war, the Holy See conducted repeated searches in all the areas of space that had been discovered at that time. Debris and destroyed space do not disappear, but appear in other spaces in dependent form. The search has continued to this day, and we have found more than 100 fragments of information memory in the form of particles, and successfully recovered more than 30 lost ancient technologies. ”

Su Hao stopped talking, sat on the steps, his right hand on his chin, and fell into thought.

He never imagined that there would be such a miraculous repair technology in the world, and such an unimaginable information storage device. Of course, theoretically speaking, the way in which Dai Xiaolou stores information by element adsorption can indeed be realized. But this requires extremely advanced material technology and molecular structure technology. In his original Earth world, such technology had already taken shape, but in any case, it had not yet developed to the point where it could be comparable to the third stage of the main world.

Dai Xiaolou's voice sounded from the side again: "Have you seen the "Ghost Blade" main battle tank issued to you by the Legion Headquarters? It is a weapon of war that is created after the restoration of ancient technology. Its armor, engines, and cannon power are all based on ancient technology. It was a real battlefield fortress, and the dark creatures had to send multiple powerhouses above the earl level to pose a threat to it. But you have to understand that this is just the level of technology developed by the empire more than 83,000 years ago. That war was a catastrophe, and we lost so much that we can't make it up until now. It can only be found again in the constant search, so that our civilization can continue. ”

Su Hao turned around, looked at him, and asked seriously, "Why do you want to sue me for this?" ”

This question came very suddenly, completely unexpectedly by Dai Xiaolou.

Su Hao is not a fool. He wields great power on Earth and has been an emperor on the planet Red Dragon. The understanding of the word "secret" is far beyond ordinary people.

Su Hao didn't think that space and the past of the war were things that everyone could know. What's more, Dai Xiaolou himself said that he saw these things from ancient classics. Although it is only a retelling, it is obvious that if the listener were an ordinary person, he would not have said these at all, and said so much.

While in DS A Space 66, Deacon Nashbal had said something similar. But both in quantity and quality, it is far less than what Dai Xiaolou talked about today. Even for Legionnaires, these things can be considered secrets, even secret records that require a certain identity to be consulted.

Just over ten minutes ago, Su Hao had already had such a question. He had not uncovered it, and had always wanted to hear more about what he was interested in, until now, when he was almost sure that there was no need to continue, that he suddenly brought it up in a way that the other party did not expect at all.

Dai Xiaolou did not show any panic on his face. He looked calm, even with a smile: "You forgot? It's because you asked me that I said this. Hehe! What's the matter, eat dry and wipe clean, and don't want to admit it? ”

There was an imperceptible panic in the depths of his eyes, and Su Hao caught it very keenly.

didn't expose it, and didn't mention it specifically, Su Hao said lightly: "You have given me a lot of help, and I haven't been able to thank you properly." ”

"This is the second time you've said something like that to me."

Dai Xiaolou's reaction was very fast, and his expression was still indifferent: "We are all members of the same legion, there is no need to say such boring kind words." ”

"No, it's definitely not boring."

Su Hao accentuated his tone, his expression and gaze were more resolute and serious than ever: "Thank you is certain." Beyond that, I want to know why? ”

"Why? Ha ha! You even thought to ask why? ”

Dai Xiaolou and his exaggerated appearance laughed: "There are many things in this world that there is no way to find out the real reason. A man takes a fancy to a woman who wants to spend the night with her, so he takes a bouquet of roses and says that he is her admirer, but in fact, the real reason is as simple as pushing it down and knocking it over and then shooting it. The thief sneaked into the mall and stole millions worth of gold, silver and jewelry, and when he was caught by the police, he would only say that he did it because he was hungry and had no money to eat, and he would not tell you that he wanted to make a fortune from the beginning. Also, the bear child failed the exam and went home to tell his father that he had lost the exam paper, in order to avoid the tragic result of the butt flowering. The police will tell you that you must obey the laws of the country at all times and at all times, but they themselves will not pay attention to these things when investigating and collecting evidence, and they themselves are the biggest tramplers of the law. ”

Dai Xiaolou looked at Su Hao with a very deep gaze: "Everyone wants to know why, but everyone won't get the most correct answer." The reason why this world exists is precisely because of countless human activities, as well as all kinds of lies and truths. Some are well-intentioned, and some are certainly full of evil and hideous, depending on how you understand it? How do you find a statement and justification that works best for you? ”

Su Hao was not deterred by Dai Xiaolou's extremely strong tone. He smiled faintly, his attitude was still resolute, and he was calm: "My question is the same as just now, why?" ”

Dai Xiaolou narrowed his eyes: "Are you sure you really want to know?" ”

"Of course."

"Alright! I sue you. I have a crush on your ass, I want to get your favor, and then we become a good pair of friends, it's as simple as that. ”

……

The time has entered the early winter.

The northern borders of the empire had begun to get cold, but the inner regions did not have much cold air to patronize, and they still seemed warm as spring.

Duke Marvin's castle is nestled in a hilly area. It was his private domain, and the slopes of a secluded valley were covered with shrubs and a large area of dense coniferous forest. These plants are also part of wealth. It is not a shrub in the ordinary sense of the word, but a plant that can be combined with the needle pine forest and rely on each other. Without fertilization, the two plants can secrete the micronutrients they need in the soil through the contact of the root cells of guò. This situation is similar to planting soybeans during the fallow season to store nitrogen fertilizer.

The wealth focuses on those needle pine. They produce a lot of fruit every autumn, full of grains, and are delicious. Due to the extremely low production, it was expensive to sell for in the imperial market. With Duke Marven's financial resources, there is no need to sell these fruits for money. He simply used the pine forest as a symbol of wealth, to show off when guests came, and to arouse the amazement of those who came, as well as their admiration and respect for themselves.

The castle was brightly lit, and the Duke sat on a comfortable sofa in his studio, with a holographic screen rising from the floor in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, a glass of red wine in his hand, and his legs crossed, listening carefully to the report from Count Thoma.

"Your Excellency, there has been a marked deviation from what was expected. Konoha Town has been taken seriously by the "Iron Warriors" legion, they have received a surprising amount of material aid, heavy airships arrive every day, although it is not known what materials are unloaded by those big guys flying in the air, but the intelligence officers sent out report that there are now mechanical slaves in Konoha Town, and there are many of them. ”

When he said this, Count Thoma looked gloomy, and his whole body was full of anxiety.

In the human empire, mechanical slavery often has a special meaning. By law, the Holy See is the only legal institution for the manufacture and breeding of mechanical slaves and biological slaves. All volunteers and convicts must undergo special purification rituals before they can have their memories removed and become biobearers who have been heavily programmed. The Mechanical Slave is an extremely efficient species of half-human, half-machine. If you enter the imperial building market, it will soon lead to an unpredictable financial disaster. They do not need to be paid, and at the same time they take the jobs of a large number of construction workers. In order to eliminate unnecessary risks, they have always been subordinate to the Holy See and the main legions, and have never participated in civil projects. A lot. ”
