Gao Wen thought for a while: "Then call it Gorgon Youth Version..."

Chapter 1426 Calling

In view of the specific situation of Tarrond and the practical problems in the production cycle, Gao Wen conceived a set of adjustment plans for the downgrading and transformation of the Gorgon aerial platform. In Rebecca's view, the Gorgon air platform after the downgrade Compared with the original version, the youth version is really far behind, but in Gao Wen's eyes, even after such a downgrade and adjustment, the Gorgon platform is more than enough to be used as a communication node in Tarrond - even "surplus" too much up.

After all, it was only used as a communication node - the communication node is equipped with anti-aircraft guns, alloy armor and small aircraft take-off and landing platforms, which is outrageous enough...

"When these Gorgon platforms are in place, the communications between Tallond and Loren will be fully restored. Only then can our alliance be said to be 'one body'," Gawain breathed a sigh of relief. With a relaxed and happy expression, he said to Rebecca, who was studying the materials with her head down, "In addition, we can also benefit from the order from Tarrond, which can more or less make up for the construction of the Dawn of the World and the standard version of Gogo." The huge consumption of Ergon Fortress..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing, and a certain great-granddaughter who always looked resentful recently appeared in his mind: "And this way, Hetty can also sleep well."

"Eh..." As soon as Gawain finished speaking, Rebecca showed a hesitant expression. The girl scratched her hair and said nervously, "Actually, I just wanted to tell you that the Magic Technology Department After exploring the test data of Dawn of Earth and Gorgon, we have some new ideas. We plan to build a batch of ultra-high-altitude anti-gravity platforms, and set up several semi-permanent planetary and atmospheric monitoring stations on the top of the magic turbulence layer. To do some research work..."

Speaking of this, she was obviously a little guilty, and after observing Gao Wen's face, she quickly continued to explain: "You see, our research in this area is indeed lacking. and meteorological institutions, but we have never built such a research facility in an ultra-high-altitude environment. If there had been such a thing, let alone research assistance, even the actions of those cultists in the wasteland have been controlled from the very beginning. Can't escape our eyes... um, and..."

Rebecca racked her brains to think of any more convincing reasons for the ancestor to support her "spending money plan", but before she could finish speaking, she heard Gawain's voice from the opposite side: " It’s really fascinating—you go back and draw up a complete proposal, and I’ll work with experts from your technology department to see what to do.”

"You agree?" Rebecca's eyes widened in surprise, and then an uncontrollable smile appeared on her face, "Yes!!"

"Don't be so busy, I just said that we can study and study, and we can only approve this plan after confirming the value of this semi-permanent platform." Gawain glanced at the already excited Rebecca, but despite what he said, But the girl obviously couldn't listen to it anymore, she already knew that the matter was pretty sure based on her knowledge of her ancestors, Gao Wen could only sigh helplessly when he saw this, and said to himself that this silly roe deer was indeed Hetty's lifelong enemy ...

As soon as he sighed in his mind, he heard a rhythmic footsteps in the corridor, followed by a knock on the door, and Hetty's voice came into the room: "Ancestor, is it convenient for you now? "

Gawain glanced at Rebecca, who was still immersed in happiness, as if she hadn't heard the movement around her at all, looked up at the door and said, "Come in."

The door of the study was pushed open immediately, and Hetty walked in wearing a new dark purple dress—perhaps because of the Victory Day celebration, she had a confident and happy smile on her face, and her footsteps were also more than usual Be brisk, as she walked towards the desk, she noticed Rebecca standing in the room, and a look of surprise appeared on her face: "Rebecca? You're here too...why do you have a silly smile on your face, what happened? "

It was only at this time that Rebecca noticed her aunt appeared, and she shrank her neck immediately, her face was visible to the naked eye and became embarrassed. Gawain next to him quickly waved to Hetty: "You will know later, Rebecca has a new research plan."

Hetty: "...?"

Then, before her aunt could react, Rebecca turned around and rushed towards the door of the study. In the next second, only her farther and farther voice came from the direction of the corridor: "Master Ancestor, Aunt, I'll go back and make plans first." Book!"

Hetty looked at the direction of Rebecca's departure expressionlessly, and after a while, she silently summoned the hand of evocation and closed the door of the study room. After the door was closed, she let out a long and helpless sigh: "Alas..."

Seeing this, Gao Wen couldn't help laughing and teasing her: "When I saw you summoning the Evocation Hand, I thought you were planning to bring her back and beat her up."

"Now...she can no longer be treated like an ignorant child—although she really hasn't made much progress in many aspects." Hetty shook her head with a tired face, "Forget it, look back and see what she plans to do Well, let's hope it's no more 'summon a hundred fire elementals and put a swear talker in the middle of them and see if that makes a giant incendiary incendiary bomb' or 'shoot another supercritical accelerator with a supercritical accelerator and see if it works "Working" is fine... but since you have no objection, then her idea shouldn't be too weird this time..."

Gao Wenwan didn't expect that Rebecca would propose such a weird project plan, and he didn't expect that Hetty was not only the big butler of the empire, but also the brake disc of the empire - responsible for turning the crazy head of the empire's steel ball Forcibly pressed into the three views of normal human beings, but when he sighed in his heart, he couldn't help touching his chin and muttering: "You said that, I'm really a little curious about the impact of using a supercritical accelerator to launch another supercritical accelerator. How about...if the track and the mechanical structure can hold it..."

Just as he was muttering halfway, Hetty screamed: "Ancestor!!"

"Well, I was just joking," Gao Wen smiled and glanced at the pale great-granddaughter, "Don't worry, this time Rebecca just wants to launch a few ultra-high-altitude detection platforms to conduct surface and atmospheric investigations. Environmental research, this can be regarded as a good thing that benefits the country and the people in the long run—let’s not talk about this, why do you come to me?"

Hetty coughed lightly immediately, her face became a little serious.

"Yes, this is a document just sent from Ogulei's Ancestral Peak listening station," she put the folder she was carrying in front of Gao Wen, and pulled out one of the pages, "I think the contents on it are You need to see it yourself."

"Ancestor's Peak listening station?" Gao Wen frowned slightly, and immediately realized the origin of this document, "Is it the 'star signal'—they captured new content?"

Since the initial discovery of the signal among the stars, Gao Wen personally promoted the establishment of a large number of listening stations at home and abroad to capture those occasional "star sea communications", and the Ancestral Peak listening station located in the territory of the Ogulei Tribal State is the most The site with the most "achievements" once puzzled scholars, but recent information shows that the peak of the ancestors is very likely to be a very special "spot" on this planet, and there may be a deep blue site in its deep layer. At the same time, due to the influence of this well, the time-space structure of the entire Ancestor Peak is unusual, which makes it seem that it is easier to receive "messages from afar" than other places on the planet, and now, After a lapse of nearly a year, the region has indeed captured the call of the stars again.

And this time the "call" it captures is obviously very different from before.

Gao Wen glanced at the overview at the beginning of the file, which included the working status of the listening station and the original signal graphics when the signal was captured this time, while Hetty's voice came from the side: "...the After the interference subsided completely, the local listening station had resumed operation, and the local goblins were the first to notice the abnormality in the antenna—these signals seemed to have switched to a new transmission method, and their transmission efficiency was higher than before, and the content was also different. It is more complicated than before, and we are not yet sure whether this is a targeted adjustment or just due to the technical upgrade of the sender...

"About two days ago, after adapting to the new signal mode, the goblin technicians of the Ogure tribal country successfully recorded a relatively clear and complete communication, and then according to the 'dictionary' brought back by General Philip from the Vipland Observatory ’, academics have attempted to translate this communication, and we have found some ... definite words, the content of which is somewhat tense.”

Gao Wen's eyes scanned the document slowly, and the translated text printed out in bold font came into view clearly and sharply:

"...Calling the unknown civilization Alpha... This message will be sent on a regular basis. If you do exist and have the ability to respond, please answer...The period is approaching, the message left by the sailor...There is evidence that the stars are about to twinkle... We need each other...call the unknown civilization Alpha, if you really exist at the target location, please answer, call...please answer..."

Gao Wen fell into a long silence, as if he was in deep thought, until a few minutes later he broke the silence in a low voice: "There are many unreadable parts on it."

"Yes, this is the limit that the current 'star breakers' can do," Hetty nodded and said, "Although the 'dictionary' brought back by General Philip can theoretically decipher alien characters, but in actual use We find that the languages ​​and scripts used in these interstellar communications have... changed slightly, and just as our scripts change as society develops, 'their' scripts have obviously changed over the centuries. But This is only a secondary reason, and the more important reason is that 'their' language logic is different from ours, and it will take time to fully adapt."

Starbreaker - This dreamy name comes from ancient Eldar legends, the Eldar ancestors used poems to describe the days of thorns and thorns, and called "Starbreaker" the oldest seers and wise men in the forest .

They were the first meteorologists and astronomers, and in many of Augury's poems, these first people who looked up to the sky are described as being able to predict rain or shine by observing the trajectory of the stars, and listening to the hidden echoes in the sky to judge For good and bad, after a long time, these once regarded as "miraculous" predictive abilities have gradually been summarized and evolved into the meteorological and astronomical knowledge that modern people are familiar with, but the name of the star solver is still handed down to this day in poetry. , and has been given new meaning today.

After Philip found the ruins of the Viplandon Observatory from the wasteland of Gondor, and brought back the "Alien Dictionary" left by Sir Scott from the ancient observatory, Gawain ordered the establishment of a special A team of scholars came to study this legacy and based it on the translation of the "alien signal". This work is boring and difficult. Learning an "alien language" from scratch is no easy task. What's more, this alien civilization is very different from the intelligent creatures on this planet in terms of language logic, and what scholars have in their hands is only a dictionary that has been outdated for several centuries, and occasionally captured by listening stations around the world. It is nothing more than a "newsletter" that is completely composed of mathematical language and abstract symbols.

Victoria, the Duchess of the North, is familiar with the ancient legends of various countries. After the formation of this team of scholars, she proposed the name "Star Breaker". Now Star Breaker not only refers to the group of scholars established by the Cecil Empire, It also refers to the "translation teams" established by Typhon and the Silver Empire, as well as the scholars who are dedicated to analyzing alien signals in transnational projects.

Although the war has just ended, this work has started since Philip found the "dictionary", and it has been going on for half a year. thing.

"Only from the parts that have been translated, I can roughly understand the meaning of this information," Gao Wen breathed out slowly, calming down his somewhat turbulent mood, "...the intention of 'active communication' is very obvious, never before This has happened."

"Yes," Hetty nodded lightly, with a very serious expression, "The star breakers have translated all the information received by our listening stations over the years—although there are still many contents that have not been deciphered, but only From the parts that have been translated so far, it is not difficult to judge that the signals sent by 'they' before are all the purest 'information', the basic mathematical symbols, the basic coordinates, the basic character list, as if they are simply announcing themselves existence, or rather like..."

Hetty frowned, as if she didn't know how to accurately describe her thoughts at the moment, but Gawain understood her meaning and said, "It's like standing on the only stage in the dark, facing the empty and silent audience Xi introduced himself over and over again, and now—”

As he spoke, he tapped the document on the table with his fingers.

"They seem to have discovered ... that there is an 'audience' beneath the stage."

"This is what makes people a little nervous," Hetty said in a deep voice, "The goblin scholars in charge of the Ancestral Peak listening station have already had a heated discussion on this matter, and our scholars are similar— The signaling civilization seems to be just now suddenly aware of the possible presence of an 'audience' within range of their broadcast, no one knows if that's a good thing or a bad thing, and..."

"And it's not sure if the 'unknown civilization Alpha' mentioned above refers to us," Gawain looked into Hetty's eyes, "after all, there are indications that 'their' signals are just a non-directional global Broadcasting, the starry sky is vast and full of stars, our family may not be the only intelligent creatures within the range of this broadcast."

"Ancestor, do you think..."

"This matter is not only related to ourselves," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "We need a high-level meeting - send an urgent message to Typhon and Baiyin."

Chapter 1427 Before facing the stars

The vast sea of ​​stars is vast and vast, and there are endless possibilities in the endless stars, and the endless darkness hides these possibilities in it—as a planetary civilization that has not yet broken free from the shackles of gravity, when ordinary people look up at the sky, they can only look at it with Imagination and reasoning are used to guess what the opposite side of the star sea looks like. Therefore, in this case, every piece of news from the star sea will especially stimulate the nerves of those looking up.

The setting sun has gradually sunk to the edge of the horizon, and the days in late autumn have begun to look short. The festive atmosphere of the Victory Day celebration has not completely dissipated from the city, and the streets outside the window can still see the flow of people coming and going for the celebration and selling goods. Souvenir vendors and shops, and street lights are being lit up one after another in the distance, and in the gradually dimming sky, twinkling stars can be seen faintly.

The Frost Sky isn't in the sky yet - but it's there.

Gao Wen stood in front of the French window of the study, looking at the faint stars in the sky outside the window, his expression was more serious than usual, and Amber's voice came from the side: "It seems that you are very concerned about this matter. what……"

"There is a civilization capable of sending faster-than-light communications that has cast its sights on us in the sea of ​​stars. Of course, it is worthy of attention." Gawain did not turn his head, but said slowly, "For those who have begun to notice the stars above their heads but have no ability to For civilizations that have really stepped into the universe, the feeling of surviving in the world is like trekking in the night. We can't be sure what's in the darkness around us, and we can't be sure whether the companions who may exist nearby are enemies or friends. We have noticed When the darkness exists, but you still don’t have the ability to light up the lights to disperse the darkness—this stage is the most stressful state.

"Over the years, we have been sure that there is at least one figure walking with us in this night. This figure held a torch in his hand, but he didn't notice us who were still in the dark, but suddenly, he seemed to be aware of the darkness around us. There are other people, and now this figure is looking towards our hiding place... I think you can understand the feeling."

"...Indeed, I understand too well." Hearing Gao Wen's analogy, Amber's hairs stood on end. "It's like being kicked out suddenly in a stealth state. It's shocking to think about it."

"...When I was traveling alone, I hoped that someone would accompany me in the night, but I felt nervous and resisted when there was a companion," Gao Wen sighed softly, "I can only blame the star sea for being too vast, and there are too many uncertainties in it. "

Amber thought for a while: "But then again, in a sense, we are the ones who take the initiative. After all, we have known the existence of 'them' for so long, but 'they' have not known us. Even now, the alien civilization that sent the signal seems to be unsure of the existence of 'Unknown Civilization Alpha'. We are always hiding in the dark... Generally speaking, this is the party that makes people more nervous .”

"It is undeniable that the situation you mentioned does exist," Gao Wen said slowly, and then frowned in confusion, "So sometimes I also doubt that the civilization that sent the signal is really a civilization that is more advanced than ours. Ethnic groups? If the signal is not a trap, then their performance is too youthful and reckless. If the signal is a trap... then civilizations capable of superluminal communication should also be capable of high-precision deep space scanning. Siren once mentioned that deep space scanning is the pre-technology of FTL communication, so it is impossible for the civilization that sent the signal not to know our existence..."

"Didn't you say that the 'technology trees' of different civilizations may be completely different," Amber said with a serious face, "It is possible that they have jumped the technological line, maybe they have found a development path that is different from that of the Kraken, so just Did not point out the skill of deep space scanning."

Gawain glanced at the Shadow Assault Goose who was seriously analyzing it with a somewhat weird look: "To be honest, you have been talking about these 'proper terms' with me all day long, do you really understand what they mean?"

Amber immediately became confident: "I only understand part of it, but I can't talk nonsense, can't I? Simply associating the context..."

To be able to talk nonsense with others even when he half understands it - Gao Wen thinks this is really an amazing talent.

And thanks to Amber for interrupting, Gao Wen also felt his emotions relax a lot. He breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that the sunset outside the window had completely fallen to the end of the earth, leaving only a faint red color along the clouds and permeating the city. In the sky above, the starlight became more and more eye-catching, and a few stars in the Frost Sky constellation gradually appeared in the night sky—the agreed meeting time was approaching.

He sorted out his thoughts, then turned to look at Amber: "Help me guard later."

Amber patted her chest: "You know, don't worry, I'm familiar with this."

……

Neural network, in a special encrypted space, a breeze suddenly blew up in an endless and open white flower field, and the breeze blew across the sea of ​​flowers, and then it turned into a white round table and several gorgeous chairs around the round table, and then, Several figures appeared around the round table one after another—the first one appeared was Gawain, followed by Rosetta Augustus with a serious expression and a thin figure, and then another glare appeared, a tall and beautiful The blond figure walked out of the light, it was Belsetia Morningstar.

Under normal circumstances, Gao Wen used conventional holographic projections to hold such remote meetings, but this time it was a special case. He set the address of the meeting in the "white flower sea" of the neural network - long before the Wasteland War, The Cecil-style communication network has already appeared in Typhon and the Silver Empire. Although it is still in its infancy, at least in places like the Obsidian Palace and the Elven King's Court, there is a full set of magic devices that can communicate with Cecil City in real time. guide equipment, this includes the Magic Net terminal and the immersion chamber.

Whether you use it frequently or not is another matter. After entering the cyberspace, Rosetta is obviously not used to it. The ruler of Typhon looked down at his body in the default mode, and raised his head again. After shaking hands, I couldn't help muttering softly: "...It really is an incredible technology, it can really be simulated to this extent..."

Then he looked up at Gao Wen and the Silver Queen, and greeted the rulers of the other two empires with a decent attitude.

"Welcome to this sea of ​​flowers—this is an encrypted space I specially prepared for special meetings," Gawain nodded to Rosetta and Belsetia, motioning for them to sit down at the round table before he said, "This is It's the first time we've met in this form, but as you can feel, it's almost as real as the real world, and you don't need any extra adaptation, just treat it as meeting in the real world."

"I think it's more convenient than the real world," Belsetia smiled, and after she sat down, she tapped on the table, and a beautiful tea set appeared in front of her, "This kind of tea can't be done in the real world." matter."

Rosetta next to her looked at the Silver Queen in surprise, but before he asked, Gawain said in surprise, "You seem to be quite skilled."

"I've always been very interested in this new technology," Belsetia said with a smile, "Although the number of immersion chambers in the Silver Empire is still very small, and the corresponding network has just started construction, my courtiers and I Already starting to figure out how to use this thing efficiently - speaking of which, the 'outages' during previous wars were really frustrating."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Rosetta Augustus next to her: "Your Majesty Augustus, don't you use it often? The networking conditions between Typhon and Cecil should be much better than that of the Silver Empire Bar."

"...I've only used it once or twice, and I don't usually spend much time on it," Rosetta said with a straight face, "But Matilda and Hadiron seem to use it often, I've seen them use it .”

Immediately afterwards, he turned to Gao Wen who held the meeting: "Let's talk about the business, why did you contact us all of a sudden, and choose such a special...meeting form?"

"It's related to the 'Xinghai signal' we've been receiving for a long time," Gao Wen said with a nod. "We've analyzed the disturbing content from the recently captured signal, but the specific situation...will have to wait for several other participants The attendees will be there to explain. The reason why the conference address is selected in the neural network this time is also because of these special participants."

"Special participants?" Belsetia frowned suspiciously, as if she had guessed something vaguely, and almost at the same time as her words fell, a twisting light curtain suddenly appeared in the air beside the round table. Then, flowers and vines rapidly grew and condensed in the light curtain, and in the gorgeous light and shadow, an old elf with a calm face stepped out of it.

Belsetia was a little puzzled for a while after seeing the figure of this old elf, but soon she realized the identity of this "incarnation", and a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on her face: "You..."

"I'm here for the meeting," Amoen showed a gentle smile, and nodded slightly to Belsetia, "Just call me Amoen here, or you can call me by my code name in the Theocratic Council,' Mister Deer'."

"Um..." Belsetia's eyes fell on the head of the old elf involuntarily, and she swept across the letters "High Speed ​​Buck", and used her strong willpower to control her curiosity. , "Okay, Amon... Your Excellency."

At this moment, Rosetta also realized who the "participants" in front of her were. Although she already knew the situation of several senior advisors in the Theocracy Council, and also knew that these "former gods" were now working and living with mortals, but If you know it, you know, it is another thing to see the incarnation of the God of Nature in this almost real cyberspace, especially this avatar has the name of "High Speed ​​Buck" on its head, which makes people who have always been calm Emperor Typhon, who showed his calm posture, showed a bit of astonishment on his face: "'God of Nature'... Then it seems that this matter is really not trivial."

"Are you the only one here?" Gawain glanced behind Amoen, and found that only the God of Nature appeared in the venue, "Ms. Mirmina and Ms. Enya didn't come?"

"They're researching something, they seem very busy," Amoen shrugged, "Let me come first—they said they'll be there later."

"Are you doing research...well, let's not wait for them," Gawain nodded, and after Amorn took his seat, he turned his gaze to Rosetta and Belsetia in front of him, "I want to start Let me show you something."

After finishing speaking, a phantom of a document appeared in front of him. After the phantom became solid, he divided it into two and sent them to the two rulers of the empire.

Rosetta's gaze quickly swept over the document, and her expression immediately became extremely serious.

"As you can see, the civilization that has been sending out signals suddenly has some... changes," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "They changed their style of sending out information without purpose in the past, and instead sent this one "Letters" with very obvious communication intentions, they are purposely calling "Unknown Civilization Alpha" and hoping to get an answer, which has never been the case before."

"...Is the 'Unknown Civilization Alpha' mentioned here ours?" Belsetia raised her head from the document and looked at Gawain with burning eyes.

"Not sure," Gawain shook his head. "Our current technology is still unable to distinguish whether the signal is pointing in our direction or whether it is a wide-area broadcast as usual, let alone whether the sender has locked the coordinates of our planet."

"So we can't rule out the possibility that it's a trap," Rosetta rubbed her ring, and said slowly in thought, "They may not know where we are, or even whether there is anyone within their broadcasting range. So in this way, we can actively 'speak out'."

"This information mentions the voyager... and key words such as twinkling stars," Belsetia focused on another crucial piece of information, "There is too much information in it."

"Facts have proved that the voyager did leave footprints on more than one planet," Gawain nodded, and of course he noticed this part of the details, "We can boldly judge that the world where the civilization that sent the message lives is also The planet where the voyager once stopped - and what the voyager left on that planet has a profound impact on this "sending civilization". Judging from the content of the message, this letter-sending civilization understands the voyager and the "stars twinkling" I’m afraid it’s far deeper and clearer than ours.”

Rosetta frowned. He had never let his mind fall into such a complex, chaotic, and busy thinking state like today. This problem that suddenly appeared in front of him was so unprecedented, beyond his previous experience in dealing with any problem. In fact, the scene Except for Gao Wen, I am afraid that no one thought that he would suddenly face the issue of "exchange of alien civilizations", but he still maintained his rationality and calmness, and slowly said in his thinking: "Whether this Whether the message is a trap, the sender obviously holds an extremely important secret, the flickering and cycle of the stars... Frankly speaking, this is reminiscent of the magic tide."

Regardless of whether the sending civilization is fishing or not, at least the "bait" is real, and this is the fact before the three rulers of the empire.

But that's not enough to make them make rash decisions.

"The most critical issue now is that we are not sure whether the civilization that sent the message was benevolent or malicious," Rosetta said, "They did express their willingness to communicate friendly and help each other in the subpoena, but to be honest Yes, I don’t dare to believe it rashly—there are so many things on our planet that people can’t easily believe, not to mention alien stars hundreds of millions of kilometers away.”

"And even if the content of the information is all true, and the other party's attitude is not false, we still need to be cautious," Gao Wen continued, "Alien civilizations... are different from alien races on our planet. Alien civilizations It is very likely that there are completely different thinking logics, judgment standards, and even thinking organs with completely different principles from ours. Their "good intentions" are not necessarily good intentions, and their "maliciousness" may not necessarily be harmful to us. Do they regard devouring the life of a friend as a virtue, and a friendly greeting as a declaration of war? These are all uncertain things."

Chapter 1428 The Possible Truth

Two countries on the same planet still have innumerable suspicions and potential war risks, so what about the two planets separated by the vast sea of ​​stars?This is the real problem before the eyes of the three imperial rulers.

The vast starry sky hides too many secrets and possibilities. Gao Wen hopes that other intelligent civilizations in the starry sky will also have goodwill and virtue, but it is impossible to believe in such things unconditionally.

Before a civilization develops to the point where it can enter other planets and establish a "disaster backup" on other planets, its survival in the sea of ​​stars is always like a lonely boat, and any unexpected storm may lead to this lonely boat. This may be a natural disaster like the magic tide, or it may be an alien civilization with malicious intentions, and no matter which possibility it is, the countries on this planet today are betting against up something.

"...Before discussing whether to respond to this signal, I want to confirm one thing," the Silver Queen said suddenly, "Are we really capable of responding to this signal now? If it is as the scholars have speculated, it is Transmitting across the star sea at an instantaneous speed may have exceeded our technological limit. If we don’t even have the basic technology, then it’s too early for us to discuss whether we should respond..."

"That's exactly what I'm going to say—if it's really necessary, the Alliance may really be able to respond to this signal," Gawain tapped on the table lightly, "The sea monsters...you should know that they are traveling on a huge starship They crash-landed on our planet, and not long ago, they had partially repaired the starship's FTL communication array."

Rosetta and Belsetia immediately glanced at each other subconsciously, their expressions changed slightly, while Gawain looked at Amorn who had been sitting by the side without saying a word: "I want to hear your opinion—from How do you see this from a 'god's' perspective?"

"Gods in different fields may have completely different ideas about this matter," Amon shook his head lightly, "but from my perspective, I don't recommend responding to this signal."

"I thought you would be inclined to respond." Gawain looked at the former God of Nature with some surprise, "After all, you have always been inclined to take proactive actions to deal with problems."

He said this very euphemistically, but what he actually thought of was the glorious deeds of this god of nature who recklessly stood on the sky station and rescued the Silver Queen from the front line with two rounds of charge-this seemingly calm and reliable elf In fact, the old man made a reckless comparison, showing the characteristics of countless dead creatures in nature to the fullest. In fact, sometimes Gao Wen even suspected that the holy image of Amon's "giant deer" was created by special effects, combining light and shadow. Pick off the antlers or something. After you clean it, it might not be a roe deer inside...

But he hesitated a few times about this matter, but he was not ashamed to bring it up in person - he had considered secretly discussing it with Mir Mina, since the goddess of magic saw that the character of funeral is not afraid of death, she must find a way to verify it...

Amoen didn't notice Gawain's strange expression for a moment, he just shook his head seriously: "It is the instinct of living beings to avoid danger and ensure survival. I understand the value of curiosity and exploration, and I also understand the relationship between predators and nature. The original crisis is everywhere, we are still too weak now, but everything about the sending civilization is shrouded in mystery, even if we analyze the civilization form and intentions of the other party, it is entirely based on their voluntary release. Once the signal comes out, once you respond in this situation, it is equivalent to putting your own destiny in the hands of others, after all..."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before continuing: "After all, they are very likely to be unable to confirm our existence..."

The moment Amoen finished speaking, an elegant and gentle female voice suddenly appeared in this space: "No, I'm afraid the situation is not as optimistic as we imagined."

Gao Wen immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and saw two figures appearing beside the round table accompanied by a golden light curtain and purple mist. Walking out of the golden light curtain was a blond man with golden hair like a dragon. A tall lady with vertical pupils and elegant demeanor, and the figure who appeared from the mist was wearing a classic court-style black dress, and the lavender eyes seemed to be jumping with charged arcane flames all the time—this is exactly what she had just arrived at. The incarnations of Mirmina, the goddess of magic, and Enya, the dragon god, at the meeting site.

The voice who spoke just now came from Enya. At this moment, she quietly looked around at everyone present, and her eyes finally fell on Gao Wen who held the meeting. She nodded slightly: "Sorry, we are late."

The two goddesses were seated at the round table. The fact that half of the people in the meeting were gods made Rosetta and Belsetia look a little strange. Obviously, they are not quite used to this "Cecil style". Amorn immediately looked in Enya's direction: "What do you mean by what you just said? What do you mean the situation is not as optimistic as we imagined?"
