Perhaps the impact of the three perspectives brought by the sudden exchange with an alien civilization is too great, or perhaps the old way of thinking and knowledge limits Rosetta and Bersetia, they never seem to think too much. The possibilities mentioned in the article, however, did not mean that they did not have this knowledge. When the mist temporarily blocking them was broken through, they quickly reflected the suspiciousness behind the incident.

It’s true that they don’t fully understand super-light communication, high-precision deep-space exploration, and cosmic navigation, which are too far beyond cognition. However, if it is only a conceptual level, it is not unimaginable, even if it is impossible to imagine it. I can also find ways to keep up with the topics discussed by Gao Wen, Enya, and Milmina, and think within my own understanding. The specific technology may be difficult to understand, but the "reason" behind the technology is simple and interoperable. of.

The development of technology must have its own laws. A normal and healthy civilization must have its own complete and followable technological path. Behind a specific technological product, there must be a complete set of pre-theories, and if the derivative product is an ethnic group, it should know how to smelt it. Metal, then they must know what a furnace is (or something with similar functions), and if they don't know, it can only mean that their smelting technology "has a problem."

   Various signs show that the letter-sending civilization is very suspicious in this regard. Of course, at this stage, it can only be said to be "suspicious."

"These can only be our guesses," Gawain slowly added after seeing several figures at the round table sinking into thought. "After all, we don't know what kind of civilization the opposite is, or what kind of superpower they use. What is the specific principle of the speed of light communication equipment, we can only guess "them" based on the knowledge we know, but maybe the truth is only because their communication equipment malfunctions, or they are busy with other things...face the fog on the astronomical scale , We cannot assert anything."

"But at least one thing is certain. We must respond to this signal." Rosetta turned the ruby ​​ring on his finger, which is his habitual movement when thinking. "They already know our existence, and it seems that They don’t seem to have the means of transportation that can reach our planet in no time, so we need to strive for a little... initiative, even if this initiative is bluffing."

   "This matter needs the assistance of the Siren," Bersetia looked at Gawain, "At present, only they have the kind of...super-light communication equipment in their hands. Are they willing to help?"

"Don't worry about this. I have discussed with the Siren Ambassador when I learned of their repair progress. They expressed their willingness to lend the communication array," Gawain nodded, "But... the state of the communication equipment is not good. It can only be used for a short time now. It might be okay if we simply respond to signals, but basically we can’t take on long-term communication tasks. If we really want to establish communication with'them', I’m afraid we have to completely repair that thing.”

"Completely repair..." Rosetta frowned, "I am afraid that the nations of the whole continent are powerless in this matter, the dragon clan...well, the dragon clan may not be able to help. It is said that the sea monsters use very special technology. "

Gao Wen solemnly said: "The thorough restoration work requires long-term discussions. We start with what can be done. The top priority now is to let the various'Star Breakers' teams work together to collect all the information we have about alien signals. Putting it together in one place, we need an efficient, barrier-free, special department directly responsible for the alliance’s senior leadership to deal with the "alien civilization", draw up the information text of the "first contact" as soon as possible, and complete the coding as soon as possible. Finished in a few days, and the sooner the better.

   "In addition, I will contact the Kraken to prepare their super-light communication array, and also prepare the monitoring stations everywhere to receive feedback from ‘their’ at any time..."

"In addition," Rosetta tapped lightly on the table. "Not only should we consider responding to the signal, we must also consider responding to the signal. Although we cannot be sure whether our response is really meaningful, our military and government should do it. With these preparations, at the worst possibility, something may directly come to our world through this “call of the star space”, or, as you said, a fleet will come to our planet. , And even if these do not happen, we must avoid the confusion and panic caused by the leakage of the news."

"Others who need to be prepared are our scholars, scholars in various fields," Bersetia said immediately, "linguists, astrology scholars, magicians, professionals in the fields of logic and negotiation...no one Knowing what'they' want to talk to us about, even if they are really not hostile, communication itself is a huge challenge."

Enya watched all this quietly from the side. The former "Pinnacle of God" seemed to be thinking. She watched the leaders of the three most powerful empires in the world respond with an attitude that is almost like an enemy. After a "conversation", she didn't feel that the preparation they were doing at the moment was an expression of being too nervous, because she knew very well that what was about to happen deserved this level of caution.

  This is a situation that even the gods have never faced before. Mortals have not yet stepped into the starry sky, but the starry sky has already rushed toward their faces.

  “At the same time, there is also the Theocracy Council.” During the discussion between the three empire leaders, Enya finally spoke, “Don’t ignore the impact of this incident on the gods.”

  Enya's words made everyone on the scene nervous instantly.

   Gawain looked at the lady’s eyes: "You mean, the communication with this alien signal might cause the gods to ‘out of control’?"

"It should not be out of control. According to my experience,'ultimate disobedience' must strictly follow the two principles of'irrefutable cross-border behavior' and'direct contact of mortal individuals to external systems' before it can happen, or in other words , As long as it is something that can justify itself in the belief system and can make the gods "deceive themselves", it will not trigger the ultimate disobedience. Under this premise, there is no essential difference between dialogue with alien civilizations and looking up at the sky. Indirect contact that can be denied..."

  Enya explained to Gao Wen and others the most secret knowledge of the gods, regardless of whether it was Belsetia or Rosetta, she listened very seriously at this moment.

At the same time, she continued: "But even if it does not trigger the final disobedience, this will be our closest action to the border so far. Information from outside the closed system, proactively looking at the outside world, beyond all thoughts. The'heterogeneous contact' of the knowledge system is a challenge for every **** who is still in the position of God... and we all know that the state of certain gods in this season of civilization is actually not so good..."

  Inexplicably, Gao Wen suddenly thought of the scene he saw in the sky of the three gods when he visited the kingdom of God on the cruise ship of the sentry.

  It’s true that the state of some gods is really bad. Maybe it’s really because humans and aliens are connected to a wheat and make their voices crazy...

"As you respond to that signal and establish true'communication' with it, some of the gods are very likely to change," Enya said slowly, imparting her own experience. "The Theocracy should closely monitor all denominations in the world. Understand the situation at any time if there are signs of pollution, false statements, and illusions in believers everywhere, there may be abnormal “oracles”, there may also be priests with sudden changes in temperament and “saints” who claim to be “revelated” , These are signals that a certain **** is about to lose control.

"In this regard, I suggest that if such a situation arises, we should immediately reduce exchanges with alien civilizations, carry out spiritual purification of project participants above level 2, and isolate and monitor the specific personnel of the specific church that caused the vision. , And to appease the deep sea runes, in fact, if conditions permit...I even suggest that all personnel involved in the "interstellar communication", and even the entire research facility, be placed in an isolation environment with anti-divine barriers, because of this part Personnel are very likely to become'abnormal individuals' in the trend of thought that lure gods into madness, and the'anti-divine barrier' you are using has been tested in practice and proved to temporarily cut off the connection between gods and mortals..."

   "Ah, this I can prove that that thing is really easy to use," Milmina put in a mouth beside her, "I can even hang up a barrier to chat with mortals without worrying about pollution."

   After finishing speaking, she hurriedly emphasized to Gao Wen: "I've filed the record."

"Using anti-divine barriers to keep project participants away from the sight of the gods temporarily to reduce pollution..." Gao Wen nodded thoughtfully, and then he couldn't help but glance at Enya, "These are all It’s a very valuable suggestion. I didn’t expect you to know this level of technology used by the Theocracy.”

"You have invited me to be a senior advisor to the Theocracy Council. I don't want to be a mascot of the day." Enya smiled, her smile soft and peaceful. Individuals who have successfully survived, I think they still have some experience in the birth of God, and these experiences happen to come in handy now."

   "Of course I hope we don't need this experience..." Amone murmured, "Well, everything seems to have been discussed now. Is there anything else missing?"

Gawain looked around at every figure around the round table. After a while, he nodded slightly: "It seems that you can't think of anything to add for the time being, so let's get here today. We will start to implement the plan. If there is any situation, The first time to contact through this'encrypted space', that's it."

  Rosetta nodded slightly, and the Typhon ruler who always had a serious expression stood up: "I hope we have made a correct choice today."

  His figure gradually disappeared into the air.

   Immediately after the Silver Empress Bersetia also stood up, she smiled at Gawain: "Our world has really been unstable over the years."

One figure stood up from the round table and gradually dissipated. Finally, in the boundless and vast sea of ​​white flowers, only Gawain himself was left. There was a breeze blowing from not far away, and the flowers and grass blades made a rustling sound between friction, one The breath entered Gawain's perception as if it appeared out of thin air. He looked back and saw Bertila standing quietly behind him.

"I remember not long ago, you only needed to consider the war of a kingdom," Bertila sighed softly. "At that time, the biggest crisis in the world seemed to be just a group of monsters sealed in a high wall and like the Death of All Things. The Dark Cultist... but suddenly, the problem you have to face is so big that it even exceeds the world’s understanding of the world."

   Gao Wen shook his head: "The Demon Tide and the Gods... In fact, the problem we are facing has not changed from beginning to end, but with the broadening of our vision, we finally see all of this behemoth."

"So sometimes I can't help but remember that ignorance is a reward for all living beings. If you are ignorant, all living beings don't have to know how terrifying this behemoth looks like, but just take its breath as a breath. The biggest challenge in the world is enough. You don’t have to think about the out-of-control gods, the magic tide that will come at any time, or how many unknown and inexplicable challenges in the starry sky above you. Just prepare a shield and a long handle. With the sword, people can sleep peacefully."

"But the world will not stop working because of people's ignorance...Well, the gods may really do, but unfortunately, all beings have to face far more than the gods," Gao Wen sighed softly, "even if not. Considering the existing crisis on our planet, there are still countless stars above us."

"I think I understand why you often look at the stars. It turns out that the future for all of us is really among the stars." Bertila smiled and shook her head. Then she seemed to "hear" something suddenly, her expression changed slightly. "Brother, I received a communication request from the Deep Blue Well... it is a high priority communication."

"Ophelia's side?" Gao Wenliu was a little surprised, wondering why Ophelia would suddenly choose to contact herself through the neural network, "Why didn't she come directly as Veronica... Forget it, connect it," What may be special circumstances."

   "Yes, the communication is being transferred to the encrypted space."

Bertila lowered his head and said, immediately afterwards, an invisible wind suddenly blew across the vast flower field. In the next second, Gawain saw a strange scene suddenly appeared in the flower field. An imaginary open room appeared in the flower field. In front of him, somewhere in the underground fortress of the Deep Blue Well, there are neatly arranged ancient devices emitting faint blue light in the center of the room, and vague streamers are constantly flying over those devices. , Like countless streamers.

The figure of Ophelia Norton stands between these devices. It is the "doll" incarnation that is exactly the same as the historical Ophelia Norton. It seems that she is checking her own "territory".

   "Ophelia," Gawain said, "I didn't expect what happened to you looking for me in this form?"

The figure that seemed to be inspecting the equipment turned around, and a gentle and familiar voice came to Gawain's ears: "This is the oldest storage array in the Deep Blue Well. After the chaos in the wasteland is calmed down. Some of the devices here have resumed operation, and I found some...unusual things here."

   Gao Wen frowned slightly: "Something extraordinary?"

   "Some magical fluctuation readings," Ophelia looked serious, "stored 700 years ago, recorded by automatic equipment, I suspect... Deep Blue Well recorded the ‘body’ of the magic wave in the form of data."
