Five

Reports of damage to the forward units of the regiment were still circulating, but with the gradual deceleration of the entire regiment and the planned retreat of the outpost formation, this terrible wave of damage finally slowed down.

However, the temporary security of the outpost does not mean that this unsettling storm has subsided within the group.

Billions of members of civilization await the minds of the ship to make a decision, an answer, and a direction on the way forward.

Is it to stop this great expedition that has been going on for so long? Or do you turn around and let the group find a new route beyond the beacon left by the sailor? Still is......

As in the long past, the ship group has faced every challenge, relying on the wisdom and strength of mortals to find a way out and move forward.

The Supreme Council was formed several times, and the highest level of meetings, which had not necessarily been held once in a century before, were intensively convened during these days; The oldest immortals have been awakened from the Matrix, or recalled from their sabbaticals, and the younger new generations now need the help of these great pioneers of civilization to judge the situation; The leaders of the various ship hubs, the consuls of the various mobile planets and the ark are also urgently negotiating, constantly reporting the situation of each node to the Supreme Council, and at the same time paying attention to the latest information from the outposts.

At the same time, the "touch" of the ship group is also constantly moving forward, and one after another marginal roof teams set off from the outpost, using various navigation methods to enter the invisible "destruction zone" in front of the ship group, testing the limit of navigation little by little, and transmitting back valuable data, which is sent to the hub star cluster and sent to the Pole Star Navigation Ark, which has become an important reference for the group's mind and navigators to judge the situation.

And as more data grows, so does the "road ahead" they outline.

So, a special meeting finally took place.

Deep in the neural network, in the deepest ancient space, an endless sea of pure white flowers is shrouded in clear skylight, and with the breeze blowing, the white flowers swaying slightly throughout the entire wilderness.

A giant white spider with a holy aura roams through a sea of flowers, weaving security protocols in this ancient cyberspace, and building a platform for real-time communication between minds who are tens of light-years away.

In the weaving of white spiders, a white round table quietly appeared in the center of the pure white flower sea, and then one figure after another appeared around the round table.

They include the "personality representatives" of the various civilizations of the Loren-Noy Commonwealth today, as well as the individual members of the group with the most special status and status.

At the round table, a figure is the tallest and most eye-catching.

Gawain's gaze swept over the shadows in his vision, real or illusory.

"I want to know what is going on," he said in a deep voice, "to the extent that even the old ones, who retired thousands of years ago, are called to work overtime—you know, the old ones may have been great, but most of us belong to some glorious era of the past, and our wisdom and experience may not be of use." ”

"The situation...... "It's bad," he replied to an illusion across the round table, representing the personality of the Loren civilization, "a disaster we have never seen before has consumed so many outposts, and given that it is beyond the scope of technology and experience to explain, we have decided to seek the wisdom of the oldest immortals...... For in the face of the utterly unknown, there is no difference between the Immortals and the New Generation, and the ancient years that you have experienced have the potential to inspire us in the unexpected. ”

Gawain nodded lightly and didn't say anything, while Hrageor, who was sitting next to him, frowned: "I've seen some of the damage reports, and according to the reports, this kind of disaster has been spreading to the rear of the ship group before?" ”

At the round table, the shadow representing the Noi civilization stood up: "Strictly speaking, it is not spreading towards the rear of the ship, but there is a huge and invisible 'destruction zone' there, the destruction zone is fixed, and the ship group did not slow down before, so in fact, we crashed headlong into that area, resulting in the destruction of the outpost units one after another, plus this destruction zone does not have a clear boundary, and its destruction effect sometimes does not take effect immediately, which creates the illusion that the disaster continues to spread to the rear of the ship." ”

As the voice of the representative of the personality of the Noi civilization fell, a clear large-scale holographic projection suddenly appeared in the air in the center of the round table.

That's a panorama of the entire Loren-Noy combined ship group!

Dozens of light-year-long ship clusters, large and small artificial stars, mobile planetary fortresses, huge clusters of arks and space stations like swarms, as well as starships, shuttles and drone units, this mighty "artificial galaxy" has formed a magnificent flow of light in the universe, and in the past long years, this light flow has been constantly moving towards the depths of the sea of stars.

For the vast majority of the time, the entire group is making an astonishing leap at the speed of light or pole-faster-faster-than-light to cross the vast void of the universe, and when there is a river system in its path or the group itself needs to be adjusted, this "light flow" travels at a relatively low sub-light speed, sending out some sub-units of the group to deal with "things on the way" in the process - but no matter what, the group as a whole never really stops.

Until today.

The artificial galaxy slowed down as a whole, to almost the same speed as the "Age of Sailing" in ancient times, that is, one-tenth of the speed of light, and this speed was further reduced, and in front of the ship, there was a hazy red mark.

Straight, silent, with a cold and hard meaning.

"This line is the boundary of the 'zone of destruction' that we have identified," the Parasha Zerg personality representative stood up, this personality representative is largely humanoid, but there are obvious other body structures hidden around the edges of his body and behind it, "We are still sending wanderers to test the 'depth' of this zone of destruction, but no shuttle has managed to pass through this area so far. ”

"How big is it?" Gawain asked.

"I don't know, we've sent hypervelocity probes in all directions of this border, but even the farthest probe will not escape the fate of destruction shortly after crossing the border - the scale of this area is probably beyond the imagination of intelligent beings, it is not an ordinary astronomical structure...... It's something bigger, something more unbelievable. ”

"In other words, you can't get around," Gawain's petite amber muttered suddenly, "Even if you really want to go around, the time it takes is probably amazing......

Gawain was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "What do you say about the Polar Star Navigation Ark?" ”

"The conjecture given by the Navigator is not optimistic," the representative of the personality of the Gaelic Empire stood up, "It is well known that we have not seen any traces of the Voyager Regiment on our way since we crossed the last Voyager 'Boundary Monument' four thousand years ago, and their last track pointed straight to the 'Destruction Zone', the most likely explanation is that the Voyager Fleet had failed in the final attempt to cross the boundary - they disappeared in the Destruction Zone. ”

Gawain didn't speak, just quietly stared at the personality representative of the Gaelic Empire, and after nearly half a minute, he slowly spoke: "This conjecture is very flawed, and it doesn't explain exactly what the 'Destruction Zone' is. ”

"Yes," the personality representative nodded calmly, "our ship group is slowing down and the damage to the outpost units is rapidly decreasing, and it is obvious that as long as they don't actively rush into that border, they won't trigger destruction - it's impossible for the Voyager group not to notice this, even if they get into trouble crossing it...... So obsessively all disappeared into it. ”

"That's right, although the Voyager is a little reckless and a little axial, it's not so naïve," Amber nodded immediately, "A 'Destruction Zone' fixed in the starry sky of the universe is not a natural disaster that will take the initiative to attack, how can it be possible to destroy the Voyager Group." ”

Gawain agreed with Amber's claim, and then looked at the phantoms around the round table, "There should be further conjecture - I don't believe that the extremely optimistic and brainy Kraken Navigators could only think of such a 'not optimistic' answer." ”

"It is true that there are further conjectures that could explain the formation of the Destruction Zone and the possible fate of the Voyager, but this conjecture is also very flawed," spoke the representative of the personality of the Namu Psionic Alliance, a slender and tall figure with a strange rhythm in his neutral voice," said Chief Navigator Miss Tyr...... To paraphrase her original words, 'after forty-eight hours of intense contemplation', a further answer was found:

"Perhaps, the Voyagers have succeeded in reaching that destination—the boundaries of the cognizable universe in front of us."

Amber blurted out, "Knowable boundaries of the universe?!" ”

"Yes," the personality representative of the Namu Psionic Alliance nodded slightly, "the ultimate goal of the Great Expedition, whether it is the Voyager Ship Group or our Ship Regiment, the ultimate answer that we have been looking for together on this long journey, is truly ...... The Gate of Detachment and Ascension. ”

"You Namu psionics talk to all the gods, more than the Spirit race on Loren's side," Amber waved her hand with a look of disgust, "and you just ran to the border of the map...... Is this a reliable claim? ”

"At least it makes sense," said the representative of the personality of the Noi civilization, "at the boundaries of the cognizable universe, the mathematical laws of the universe begin to distort, and the laws that are valid in this world have reached the point of taking effect, and the unknown realm outside the universe may affect the ...... near the borders Order, the invisible 'zone of destruction', may have come into being in this way.

"This also explains why the outpost unit's sensors send back all that messy and weird data, and why no amount of strong shields and armor can resist the destruction of the Doom Zone - because this destruction is based on the laws of mathematics, and even the fundamental laws of the universe!"

"No matter how powerful the armor and shield are, they are also based on the laws of our universe - a strong barrier on a two-dimensional plane cannot resist a vertical attack from three-dimensional space," Gawain said softly thoughtfully, "Very good, this explains the truth of the 'Destruction Zone', but this statement does have a big ...... Issue. ”

"That's right, the problem is that it still doesn't explain where the Voyagers have gone, why they haven't left anything," the Neui Civilization Personality Representative nodded and said, "Whether the Voyagers have successfully broken through this 'World Barrier' or have been wiped out in the process of crossing the border, they should have left something behind, even if it was a reminder to those who came after them, a signpost indicating their 'whereabouts', and it should not be difficult for them to put this signpost in front of the 'Destruction Zone' to make it visible." ”

After the words fell, there was a moment of silence around the round table.

yes, that's the biggest problem, the hardest problem to explain.

It doesn't matter if the zone of destruction is the boundary of the universe, or if it's some kind of "cataclysmic phenomenon" that can't be understood or resisted, what matters is ...... Those powerful starters, those pioneers who persistently left countless signposts and boundary monuments in the universe, they left so many things for future generations along the way, why did they fall silent in front of this "finish line"?

What about the traces of their existence?

Six

Leaving no trace, this is one of the most difficult mysteries to solve at the moment about who set sail, about the "zone of destruction".

Both the technical experts of the ship group and the immortal spirits can accept the conjecture that the "zone of destruction" is the boundary of the universe, and accept the assumption that the setter has challenged this boundary and disappeared in the boundary, but regardless of whether the setter succeeds or fails, according to their habits, they should leave some traces.

"Perhaps, they left traces, but due to the unusual environment of this 'border', all traces have been erased," Amber guessed, "or maybe they left their marks somewhere else, after all, before we got here, we passed through a very large vacuum fault zone, and the sailor may have adjusted his course as he passed through this fault zone......

"Both possibilities are worth discussing, but now we have to decide first - what to do next," on the other side of Gawain, two seats away, a beautiful and elegant elven lady suddenly broke the silence, it was the ruler of the elven race in the ancient era, Belsetia Morningstar, "At present, the overall group has slowed down to near stagnation, and the outpost units have completely shrunk, after that, the unit density of the front and middle sections of the group will continue to increase due to the deceleration process of each subunit, In order to avoid accidents caused by an overly complex gravitational environment, it is necessary to divert the ship group......"

As she spoke, she looked at the representatives of various civilizations and personalities opposite.

"Is it to stop in place, build a temporary berthing zone, and wait for the next instruction? Or will we start diverting the ship masses from now on, and move some of the large celestial bodies to the gravitational clean zone to build a new celestial system? ”

In any case, the complete stagnation of the ship regiment was already a foregone conclusion.

The representatives of the personality were discussing, and the ancients were also discussing, but Gao Wen did not speak again since just now, but kept thinking quietly about something.

His silence finally caught the attention of the others.

The personality representative of the Parasya Zerg stood up: "Eternal King, what do you think?" ”

Gawain finally raised his head from his contemplation and said unhurriedly: "The boundary of the universe is at hand, and our long expedition has been to find the end of the stars, to find the wider 'outer world' from the beginning, and the end is close at hand, so I am thinking about how to cross that boundary. ”

Half of the figures at the round table couldn't help but look at each other, but some of the ancients who knew Gawain well didn't show any surprise, and some of them were even thinking about their old friends' thoughts.

Hlagor looked at him: "You want to move on?" This could ...... It's not realistic, there's nothing we can do about it at the moment......"

"Of course not, I know it's impractical," Gawain immediately waved his hand, "At least for now, the ship group must stop, and I tend to build a temporary mooring zone, not to divert traffic for the time being, this can maximize the maintenance of the current operational efficiency of the ship group, and concentrate forces to do great things - after all, once the ship group is diverted and a large number of permanent galaxies are built, it is not so easy to think about sailing, people will always indulge in comfort." ”

He paused, then continued, "But what I want to say is that even if the ship group stops, we can't really stop, we are slowing down here to think of ways to move on, not to stop completely before the end of the universe. And...... I've been wondering, is there really no trace of the Voyager? ”

Hagere frowned: "What do you mean?" ”

Gawain didn't answer directly, but looked at a phantus across the round table, which was the personality representative of the Noi civilization.

"Remember a long, long time ago, before Noi and Loren set sail, before we made contact for the first time...... At that time, the distance of four light years was an insurmountable barrier for us, and the cosmic space filled with radiation and cryogenic vacuum was enough to destroy our primitive vehicles, and at that time, we could not confirm the existence of the two civilizations to each other, but we were still connected. ”

The representative of the personality of the Noi civilization slowly stood up, and "he" understood the intentions of the Eternal King.

"As Amber just said, maybe it's because of the confusion of the physical laws of the border area, and it's difficult for the sailors to leave fixed beacons and monuments here, but I think ...... They must have left some message in some other way," Gawain said slowly, "and there is no trace here—but most likely, 'no trace' itself is the biggest hint that the setter has left us." ”

“…… Those messy data! The vast amount of information that those sensors read before their destruction permeates the entire universe! The voice of the personality representative of the Loren civilization is a little excited—it is difficult for the emotions of the personality aggregate to change, and when this obvious emotion appears, it often means that a large number of minds that make up the personality representative are excited about the same thing, "It's not all spam!" There's useful information hidden inside! ”

"It's a possibility," Gawain nodded slightly, "The outpost unit's sensors have sent back a vast amount of chaotic data, most of which are of course erroneous parameters brought about by the special extreme environment of the 'Cosmic Boundary', but if the Voyager really left any 'traces' here that are more eternal than beacons and monuments, then this trace must be mixed in with those huge amounts of information." ”

He stopped, slowly looking around.

"Steel corrodes, rocks weather, and even long-lived stars burn out, but only the information engraved in the universe's own 'shock' is more durable than all physical matter, and can this information be found...... It can also be seen as a test.

"I think we should give it a try."

There was silence around the round table for a moment, and every mind was thinking, and the former silver queen Beltetia suddenly broke the silence softly after a moment of thought—

"There is a howling wind at the border, but in the wind it may hover the last words of the pioneers before stepping into the wind for those who come after them—I like this conjecture. So there is only one question left, how do we extract this 'message' from the huge 'noise'? Our sensors simply don't work in the devastation zone, let alone do long-term, large-scale data acquisition and filtering analysis. ”

Gawain pondered, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "As far as I know, the lab at the Pioneer IX Technology Hub is trying to build an 'overrun engine'. ”

Amber was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Gawain: "Engine? What can an engine do? Can you build a super-fast spaceship and go straight into the Doom Zone? What did you say...... As long as Ye Biao is fast enough, death will not be able to catch up with Ye ......"

“…… You occasionally care about cutting-edge technology, don't always indulge in virtual games, and can you stop talking about this kind of old meme," Gawain sighed helplessly, "The overrun engine, although the name is called an engine, is not a 'propulsion device' in the conventional sense, but a complete set of complex systems, it is the first practical attempt of the Pioneer IX Laboratory in the field of 'mathematical law manipulation' and 'information critical state manipulation', and according to my understanding, that thing can make one' field', and directly manipulate the mathematical laws within the scope of the field, and even achieve the effect of isolating the physical laws inside and outside the field......"

Gawain was just halfway through his sentence when Amber waved his hand repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'm blinded - you can talk to people next." ”

Gawain: "...... In short, it could potentially be able to prop up a 'barrier'-like thing and safely send a small starship carrying high-powered transceivers and integrated sensors to the depths of the 'Destruction Zone', and if it could pick up signals from its sailors there, it would mean two things. ”

"Two things?"

"First, the starter succeeded, and second...... We're on the verge of success. ”

……

The delegates left.

The figures around the round table disappeared one after another, and in the end, even the round table gradually dissipated into the air, and in the vast and boundless sea of pure white flowers, only a few of the oldest immortals remained, as well as the "administrators" who were silently resetting the network parameters.

The huge, holy pure white spider slowly approached several of the immortals and gently touched Gawain's arm with its long forelimbs.

It's a friendly greeting.

"Thank you for your hard work," Gawain nodded to the Pure White Spider, "It's hard for you to keep this place the way it was from the beginning, I can't even remember what this space was like in the first place...... The system has been upgraded so many times, and it has not been easy to get it to work so far. ”

"It's not difficult," the pure white spider said in the voice of a young girl, "as long as you have hands, I have more hands." ”

"Aren't you legs?"

Naretir's voice was serious: "I'm a spider, legs and hands. ”

Several immortals didn't know what to say for a while, but Amber grinned as always: "Anyway, you didn't speak just now, just a few of us discussed there." ”

"I'm just the administrator of the venue, and I don't know anything about decision-making," Naretir's voice softened, "and...... Aside from the Internet, I don't know much about other technical things. ”

Gawain raised his head, looked at the aimless head of the pure white spider, and suddenly asked, "Put aside the so-called professional field...... Do you have any ideas? ”

Naretir's voice was a little puzzled: "Thoughts? ”

"That's what you want to do most at the moment, what do you think after you know that the ship group has arrived at the boundary of the universe, and knows the challenges and opportunities we are facing?"

Naretir fell silent suddenly.

After a long silence, she slowly lowered her body, and a petite figure with long gray hair scattered appeared on the back of the big spider, looking at her old friends on the ground a little embarrassed.

"I'd love to go out and see, to see...... The world outside the world. ”

Gawain raised his head, met Naretir's pure gaze, and smiled, "Me too." ”

Seven

A small starship that met the requirements but was hastily designed was quickly built - with the strong production capacity of the industrial planet, as long as the blueprint was ready, it was really easy to build such a small ship.

The most complex and time-consuming part is cramming a huge "overrun engine" system into this compact boat.

As the original prototype, the Overrun Engine had not yet had time to adjust the direction of miniaturization, and the Pioneer IX Laboratory could only make it meet the specifications of the small Starship as much as possible on the premise of ensuring its stability and functionality.

The "assembled" starship is ugly, not at all like the regular miniature ships of the ship group, with a beautiful streamlined structure and graceful lines, the front half of which looks like a thick, blunt awl, and the back half of which is swollen like a strange tumor - that "tumor" is the overrun engine that has been shoehorned in.

This set of advanced "mathematical rate devices", which used to only appear in fantasy stories, can hold up a "law barrier", and its size is ...... Kankan is able to enclose the entire starship.

As a by-product of the transformation, the original material compartment and personnel activity area of the starship were also greatly compressed, and in the end, in order to cram the additional sensors and high-power antennas into the force field protection range of the overrun engine, this small spacecraft even became only able to cram in one member, as well as about no materials.

The result of such an extreme transformation eventually sparked a heated discussion and even ...... within several technical departments of the ship regiment Dispute.

The technicians were divided into two factions.

One school of thought believes that the starship should simply be set up to be unmanned, relying on program control and Class III servo brains to complete all the exploration work, so as to avoid the loss of the best marginal rovers, because the deeper you go into the destruction zone, the more difficult it will be for the technical equipment of the ship to work properly, and after crossing a certain critical point, there may even be a situation where the consciousness transmission device cannot be activated, and at that time the operator is really dead, and there is no chance of uploading the resurrection.

Considering the extreme modification of the starship itself, there are almost no escape structures and materials on board to maintain survival and wait for rescue, and once the spacecraft fails even the slightest bit away from the ship, its crew will not be able to return to the ship.

The person who piloted this starship must be the best and bravest "Marginal Rover" of the ship, and it is very likely that this rover will die in the darkest and chaotic area far away from the ship in the most lonely way, which is obviously unacceptable.

Another group of technicians believes that it is impossible for the Class III servo brain to complete the complex operation of the overrun engine, nor can it be possible to deal with the complex situation that may be encountered in the "destruction zone" in time, for a simple reason - the Class III servo brain is not smart enough.

The road ahead is long, the situation is unpredictable, and the complexity of the overrun engine itself determines that it must be controlled by highly intelligent beings with flexible thinking, and the unmanned spacecraft cannot handle this task - if you stuff a Class II or higher servo brain into the starship, then this is essentially no different from stuffing a pilot into it.

Because high-level artificial intelligence is also a legal citizen of the ship group.

But this discussion was nothing to the whole project, or to the long years that the whole group had gone through.

The development of civilization is like this, there are always new problems emerging, there are always new technologies to solve new problems, there are always people who need to feed tigers to fill the deep holes in the process of new technology development, and in each process, similar discussions and choices will always appear - the human part of civilization will be tested somewhat, and then this test will be crossed.

A special "explorer" boarded the starship and was ready for the rest of the journey.

The "Ravenkees" mobile airport is quietly hovering at the edge of the dark and empty starry sky, the first departure port of the airport has been cleared, and the ugly and strange starship that has been transformed is quietly moored in the frame of the force field, undergoing the last inspection of the autonomous machinery.

The rearmament work is complete.

One by one, the autonomous machines flew away from the force field frame, and the glow of the engines on the tail and sides of the starship gradually brightened, and in the last few minutes of the whole system warm-up, the command center of the "Ravenkes" mobile airport called the pilots of the starship.

"Trailblazer One, this is the command center, you have six minutes to go."

In the middle of the starship, in an extremely narrow crew compartment that could only accommodate a standard human race pilot, a beautiful lady with long black hair, a mysterious temperament, and a bright face raised her head, her amber eyes swept over the strings of parameters flowing on the holographic projection.

Her appearance bears a striking resemblance to Amber.

"Trailblazer One is working fine," the black-haired lady said calmly, "and the overrun engine has been warmed up and will start during the departure process." ”

The communication from the command center was silent for a few seconds, and then it sounded again: "Madam, please return safely, this is a message from the 'Eternal King' to you - people are more important than equipment, if the situation is not right, abandon the ship at any time and escape, with the power of the ancient gods, even if it is at the boundary of the universe, there should be a chance to run back alive and accumulate experience in order to prepare for the next death." ”

Lady Night paused, and after a moment she spoke with a smile: "I have every reason to believe that the last sentence is a private item added by amber - the old zongzi spoils her too much." ”

There was also a smile in the communication from the command center: "After all, it's the Eternal King and his Eternal Shadow Battle Goose. ”

"You're going to be chased and beaten by them, Rebecca."

"It's okay, my communication is encrypted......"

Listening to the voice coming from the communicator, Lady Night shook her head with a smile, and then raised her hand to complete the recording and forwarding operation.

Two minutes to go.

She looked up, and through the high-strength polymer and charged energy field, the vast and deep universe in the distance was reflected in her amber eyes.

In the direction towards the "boundary", there is hardly any light to be seen, there are no formed celestial bodies, only a few mysterious "primordial flashes" appear, as if the curtain at the end of the world is lifted from time to time, showing the explorers a glimpse of the "outer world".

Suddenly, the voice of the command center came from the communicator: "Ma'am, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Just ask."

"You...... Why do you have to participate in this mission? You're completely 'retired' and you hardly ever participated in the activities of the boat group in the past, but this time I heard that you signed up on your own initiative......"

The Night Lady looked silently into the distant darkness, and after the voice in the communicator stopped, she muttered for a few seconds before she spoke softly:

"Do you see the darkness ahead of here, doesn't it look like a polar night?"

"Polar Night? Yes...... The phenomenon on the planet, however, ...... Sort of, if you're saying it's dark enough. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Lady Night's mouth.

"Someone once told me that his world is like a polar night, and human beings are like small worms living in this night, and we can't see the sky beyond the night in our homeland all our lives, but if we go out for a walk, no matter which direction we go, we can see the sunrise on the edge of the polar night, and see the sun rise in the sky...... Many bugs may think it's not a big deal, but ......

"Sun...... It's really there. ”

The system countdown has begun.

The starship began to vibrate slightly, and the superlimit engine temporarily installed on the spacecraft absorbed the surging energy output of the power core, and this huge and somewhat ugly device began to weave a self-consistent and stable "self-order" around the starship, in order to prepare to fight against the chaotic environment of the cosmic boundary.

In space, the overrun engine compartment behind the starship is gradually becoming blurry and illusory, and it appears to be a little more expanded, even a little uglier.

But the starship carries an overrun engine, just like a traveler's backpack when he sets off - its bloat is the length of the journey.

This long journey has just begun.

In the cramped one-person cockpit, the Night Lady breathed a sigh of relief, and at the moment when the harbor lights came on, she gently reached out and patted a large black cover book placed next to the console.

"Great adventurer, let's go."

Seven-five?

"Then, the story ends."

As far as the sea could see, the silver-white viewing platform was being blown by the sea breeze, and Tyr stretched his long, long lazy waist, stretching himself straight from the top of his head to the tip of his tail, and then coiled up little by little, squinting his eyes comfortably.

However, the ending she gave was obviously a bit irresponsible, and the newly recognized sister next to her suddenly glared angrily, and threw her tail over and poked her arm: "Don't! How did this end in a mess! And then what? The most critical part? How did Trailblazer 1 complete its first data acquisition? How did you build the first generation of Void Engines? Was it changed from the 'overrun engine', which is equivalent to a semi-finished product? What does that prototype look like? ”

"How do I know!" Tyr yelled as he dodged the poke and poke of the tip of the other's tail, "I fell asleep!" I was forcibly pulled up halfway through my dormant, okay? It's not easy to see the Trailblazer set off......"

“…… You slept through the whole process of developing the Void Engine in the back?! ”

"Not really...... But I don't understand either! Tyr really had no choice but to grab the tip of the tail that had begun to poke his face, "If you are really interested in this story, go back to the Antavien Memorial and check the information yourself, anyway, the ship is poking on the Io equator right now......"

"Speaking of which, I've wanted to ask for a long time, why do you have to poke Antavien vertically in the sea, isn't it more normal to float on the surface of the sea or simply sink to the bottom of the sea?"

"The queen decides," Tyr let go of the tip of her friend's tail and spread her hands helplessly, "Her exact words are that there are already a bunch of Ark memorials floating on the sea and a Nasaton memorial ship sunk on the bottom of the sea here in our hometown, and we can't be like them - poke the ship on the seabed to look magnificent, and you can bask in the sun on the bow of the ship......"

“…… Reasonable. ”

"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this," Tyre waved his hand, and then lay on his back on the viewing platform of the resort, letting his long tail hang down into the waters of his hometown, stirring the water as he said casually, "I'm done with the story, it's time for you to tell it." ”

"Me? What am I talking about? ”

"I've heard a lot of stories about your gang, and it's really not good for you to solve my doubts, there's one thing I've been curious about for a long time......"

"Huh? What's up? ”

"The universe of my hometown...... Why do most people on the planet call their 'Governor of the Sector' their landlords? ”

"Oh, that's a story from a long, long, long time ago......" Tyr's new friend, the Kraken named Nangong May, also lay down, stretching his body and said unhurriedly, "It's okay to tell you about it, but you have to teach me something when you have time." ”

"You say."

"How the hell did you manage to go forward arch by arch? This walking position is awesome......"

“……？”
