Chapter 101: The Third Congress of Exiles
"Combined with the scientific and technological level of the Brown Star Civilization, we have found some specific technologies suitable for your civilization and can share them with each other, which I think will be of great help to your development in the field of deep space navigation. ”
There was silence below the bridge, and although thousands of people sat together, no one was talking to each other, no one was even looking around, and everyone's time was focused on the position of the bridge podium, or rather, on Shure on the podium and the projection behind him.
Yesterday morning, after an in-depth exchange between the Shadow Chasers and the two acting captains of the Jackdaw, the two old men immediately sent a message to the acting captains of the other ships in the fleet through the central computer, explaining the news of the visit of this group of Shadow Chasers from another world to the other captains in detail, and also informing them of the three cooperation intentions they put forward one by one. There is no subjective judgment of the two old men, but if you think about it, you can know that their behavior of sending this message is enough to show the inclination in their hearts.
As a result, the unheard-of unexpected event made the survivors of the entire Brown Star civilization a sensation, of course, referring to those watchmen who were still awake, after all, they were already the only remaining representatives of the Brown Star civilization. Coming from another world dominated by magic technology, blessed by omnipotent gods, with the means to protect oneself in a short period of time under the threat of the Great Rift, with artificial intelligence products far above the level of the Brown Star civilization, one label after another is attached to the Shadow Chaser, any label is enough to attract the interest of these survivor representatives, and even trigger their fanaticism.
And the most impatient thing for the survivors is the last sentence that Shure said to all the survivor representatives through the two acting captains, he told everyone that they must continue to escape, because hope is not lost, and one more day of escape will give up a little more hope of rebuilding civilization, because in other worlds, there are people who still haven't given up and are still trying to fight the Great Rift.
A polite phrase that may sound commonplace, but in the hearts of these survivors' representatives, it is more powerful than any encouragement.
These acting captains are brave people among the fugitives who are willing to make sacrifices for the continuation of civilization, and all they are thinking about is how to make civilization continue, in order to rebuild the slim hope of civilization, they can sacrifice their lives and futures, they can stay in the small bridge for decades, like the watchman in the wheat field, endure the torture of loneliness, endure the life that is wasted every day, just to keep this little hope. Therefore, when Shul heard this, all the acting captains couldn't sit still, at least half of the captains wanted to fly over on the spot and communicate face-to-face with the shadow chasers, maybe some people did want to discuss the specific matters of fighting with Shul face to face with other worlds and the Great Rift, but more people actually just wanted to hear this sentence "hope is not lost" with their own ears.
Fortunately, the two old men had anticipated the reaction of their companions, and had already made a plan in advance, stopping the impulsive behavior of those ecstatic captains on the spot, and all the members of the fleet were notified of the meeting, and the fleet would hold the third meeting of fugitives in the void between several galaxies.
The first congress determined the specific act of concentrated escape and determined the life of the next thousand years, and the second congress determined the implementation of the sleeping plan, alleviated the unstable situation of the fleet, and preserved the only remaining cohesion of the brown star civilization, and today, it is the third conference, which shows the degree of importance of the shadow chasers in the hearts of the representatives of the brown star civilization.
When the gate of the bridge opened, Shure and his teammates greeted him, what he saw was more than two thousand brown starmen dressed similarly pouring into the bridge one after another, this group of people were men and women, and the age span was also very large, the younger one was even younger than Delia's main body, Kemir, and looked only eleven or twelve years old, and the older one was about the same age as Ryan Nina, one of them was even carried in on a stretcher by the autonomic machine, and there was a middle-aged man next to him, who was obviously the heir of the new watchman.
The old man on the stretcher was even struggling to speak, but he still insisted on taking the shuttle to attend the meeting in person, and the old man was carried to Shuer's side, breathing heavily and unable to speak, but his thin hands grabbed Shuer's arm and held on, his eyes were so complicated that it was indescribable. Looking at the anticipation and excitement in the old man's eyes, even if the shadow chasers have wandered between life and death countless times, and have seen too much life and death, they still can't laugh, and only a professional priest like Shuer can still maintain a calm and decent posture, showing a holy smile that calms people's hearts, gently patting the old man's skin-covered hand, and nodding gently to the old man.
As if he had received some kind of assurance, the old man let go of his hand and collapsed on the stretcher again, with a satisfied smile on his face, as if he really saw the light of hope, but the shadow chasers were taken aback, if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling violently, everyone really thought that he would leave this world like this after he wished, fortunately, the old man could still hold on, and did not use his life to cast a haze on this meeting.
Everyone knew that this meeting would be Shuer's special session, and it was also the stage he was best at, so none of the shadow chasers stole the limelight from him, and everyone stood in a corner of the podium, leaving the center of the stage to Shuer, well, and Wei.
The first topic is, of course, the exchange of information on the Great Rift. In this regard, Shul had already made Wei fully prepared, and compiled all the information known into a detailed report, which was distributed to all the participants in advance. What the two of them did at the conference was to make specific explanations and explanations for this report, and to attach a lot of conjectures that have not yet been verified or have not yet been conditionally verified, so that the intelligence research of the Great Rift has become fuller and more in-depth.
Wei, who got a new position, was really like a conscientious adjutant at this time, with the image of a capable and decisive female soldier, standing straight beside Xiuer like a gun, and unconditionally and strictly implementing every order of Xiuer, and the execution was quite perfect. Although the speaker is still Xiuer, as an assistant, Wei, whether it is the switching of images, the provision of materials, or even the auxiliary explanation, is very timely, and she can make the most appropriate response at the right time without Shuer's signal, and the cooperation is exactly the same.
The Acting Captains were surprised to find that this report included even the research and views of the Brown Star Civilization on the source of the disaster, and had already combined these materials from the Brown Star with other unheard of information from the other worlds for a detailed analysis. This discovery shows that this report was made after the two sides exchanged specific information on the Great Rift yesterday, and it was possible to analyze the data of the Brown Star so thoroughly in one day and make a thick report, which may not be completed by just a few people. It can be seen that the performance of the artificial intelligence standing next to Xiuer in the form of projection is probably far beyond the imagination of the captains, and the captains look at Wei and Xiuer's eyes are a little complicated, and now they have no doubt at all that these people have technology far beyond the level of Brown Star's technology.
"For the Great Rift, what you call the source of disaster, there is only so much known research for the time being. It took nearly two hours for Shuer to stop explaining, and looked at the captains with different expressions below with a calm face, "I must admit that there are still too many unsolved mysteries that need to be excavated for the Great Void Rift, and with the existing information on both sides, let alone confronting or even defeating the Great Rift, we haven't even learned about it." I understand that there is not much time left for you, in fact, there is not much time left for us, but please don't worry, it will not be long before we in Pavadiga will have a major operation against the Great Rift, and if it goes well, we will be able to successfully peek into the secrets under the veil of the Great Rift. ”
What if it fails? No one asked, but this question popped up in everyone's mind.
"Oh, it failed. As if he had already seen the captains' thoughts, Shul chuckled and said, "In case of failure, when the fleet of the Brown Star is swallowed up by the Great Rift, maybe I will be able to see you welcome you inside, hehehehe." ”
Laughing ghost, this joke is not funny at all, some young captains are already eager to punch Shuer in the face, but it must be admitted that the clumsy joke has indeed succeeded in dispelling the tense atmosphere in the venue, and the depression brought by this report to everyone has invisibly eased a lot.
"That's the basic situation, I know, you must have a lot of questions now, but there are too many people in the meeting, and it is obviously not realistic to ask questions one by one, so I can focus on answering one of the key questions you raised, and as for the rest of the questions, I will leave them to the meeting after you return to your ship, and communicate with Captain Ryan and Captain Nina through the spacecraft. ”
"Hum", for the first time there was a noisy conversation in the venue, almost everyone was discussing with the captain beside him, and after more than ten minutes, the noise gradually faded away, and finally, a captain sitting in the front row stood up and asked on behalf of everyone, "Mr. Shuer, you said before that some people are still trying to fight the Great Rift, can we know what specific methods and measures you have?"
"This is a question that I can't answer, not that I can't say it, but even if I did, you wouldn't be able to understand it. The smile is the most familiar smile of the shadow chasers, every time Shuer shows this smile, it means that the big fish has taken the bait, "We are not fighting against the Great Rift, but with the root cause of the Great Rift, what is this reason, unfortunately, only theology can explain it, with your scientific and technological knowledge can not explain, not only you, but even the race of metal lifeforms." As for the way we try to solve the problem, again, it is based on faith and theology, and the results are not obvious yet, we can only say that the initial results have been achieved, and there are no gods in this world, and you have no faith, so you can't help, and all you can do now is to run away as much as possible, and try to hold on until we solve the problem completely, or after the problem is solved. ”
