Xiling Empire Chapter 836: Gaia’s past
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
In the current Shadow City, as long as you look up at the sky, you will find a spectacular and mysterious arc-shaped earth above the extremely high clouds in the sky. This earth hangs high above the word that it has been expanded to no longer use the city. The Shadow City described above extends to the limit of your vision in all directions. The slight arc that bulges slightly in the middle makes people vaguely realize that this land is actually part of a certain sphere, but its large and magnificent is invisible. Its full picture.
The ground of the sky is covered with a layer of silvery white and emerald green. The silvery white is the city of alloy casting, the emerald green is the jungle of lush and green.
It's like another World reflected in the sky.
This spectacle in the sky is the most talked-about topic of Shadow City residents in the past two days. Its magnificence, mystery and magnificence have given it more eyeballs than the fortress in the air of the Military Command, many people I was guessing the beginning of the reflection World, and many people were busy spreading the truth of various versions because of their knowledge or insider knowledge, but in fact there is only one truth, and it is extremely simple: it is the capital city planet of the new empire, Mother star Gaia.
Well, I know that the original name of the mother star is not Gaia, but considering that the planet has become a temporary body of a phantom girl, I decided to name it Gaia.
The reconstruction of the Universe in the original Kapru Star District has been completed, and even the later adjustment work has been completed. Gaia and the parent star she controls will naturally have no mission in that galaxy, and consult with Shandora After a while, I decided to transfer this planet to the shadow space-and this was a few days ago, at that time we were still busy with war in Mobrador Universe, I signed this capital city star transfer order in my spare time, when When we came back triumphantly, the star Gaia had been hanging on the ground for two and a half days over the Shadow City.
Although it was an order signed quickly after a tense battle, this idea was not rash.
After a long time of construction, the shadow space has become the safest place in the territory of the new empire. All our top command centers are concentrated in this artificial Universe. The headquarters and the Space and Time Administration are also here, and the relative , The parent star that was supposed to be the center of empire rule has been busy in infrastructure construction and demolition and resettlement in a civilized sky zone. This is a bit awkward anyway. The work of migrating the parent star should have been on the agenda long ago. It's actually a little delayed to finish this now.
I have to say that the impact caused by another World hanging from the sky is very big, especially for some people with depression, it is certainly not comfortable to look up at the sky and hang a piece of Continent upside down As a matter of fact, when Gaia just transferred, Shadow City's psychotherapy industry prospered for two days. The growth rate of psychologists' income was almost the same as the growth rate of ideas in shallow heads. Finally, Gaia had to open the mirror image of the parent star The system, the projection of the parent star Continent onto the scene above Shadow City was visually weakened to solve this psychological panic, so now we see the Continent in the sky, we feel that it is only a somewhat ethereal picture and we do n’t think it is about to be Taishan pressure. And speaking of the parent star hanging in the sky, it is actually not right. Considering the huge gap between the parent star and Shadow City, this statement should be reversed: the current Shadow City is hanging upside down in the northern hemisphere of the parent star. That's right. Although it is only a matter of argument, Gaia seems to care about it. She insists that Shadow City should be regarded as the artificial satellite of the parent star instead of the other way around. I can only explain this because Gaia and the planet have been together for too long. , She has almost thought of herself as a planet-just as An Wei Na recently saw Raven is very kind of reason ...
After Shandora mentioned that Vengeance Army soul can't be merged with any kind of body, I just looked up at the sky, which is also an important reason for our mortal IQ to turn faster than Shandora, I I thought of a person whose symptoms are exactly the same as those of the ancient soul, that is Gaia.
It is also conceptually lost body, and it is also impossible to use any type of Apostle(s) body. It can also only be stored in a large array machine as data. More importantly, Gaia also talked about it personally. The present appearance is caused by a trial disaster.
Although she has never said anything about the trial disaster, I can almost infer that she was referring to what Shandora just said. The trial disaster that PL-15 mentioned inspired Vengeance Army. Those Vengeance Army copied the soul rewriting method that caused the situation of Gaia, thus completely destroying the spiritual spiritual network of their sky area.
Gaia has an advantage after transferring the mother star to the shadow space, that is, we can always go over to see her. Of course, what I see is only a light blue ghost image, but compared to the Hologram image, it can be in the mother The feeling of chatting with Gaia on the star is still different.
The military passageway of Dimension Hub Plaza has a portal that leads directly to the parent star control hub. Shandora and I quickly reached our destination through this gate.
"I was sleepwalking when I first came here."
Looking at the familiar and novel steel city around me, and the jungle of lush and green in the distance, I said to Shandora with a smile.
This magnificent city is the home star control hub. Although it looks a bit like the prosperous city of the future, it is actually an unattended self-disciplined "building complex" and not used to live in. local. It is called the mother star control hub. As the name implies, one of the functions here is the dispatch center of the entire planet. Most of the dazzling alloy buildings around it are all kinds of computing and processing facilities. Those seemingly three-dimensional transportation networks Elevated roads and bridges are protective troughs for connecting cables. Gaia's "information" is constantly running through these buildings and cables, so strictly speaking, this control hub is Gaia "self".
Because of her super high computing power or comprehensive performance, this special parent star has a completely self-regulated control hub, which I only recently learned. It turned out that I thought that all the Emperor parent star control hubs were unmanned cities. Later, when I chatted with Shandora, I realized that I was a special case: Shandora's parent star hub is much more lively than here, and the Gaia's hub has only a small number of regular Garrison, the rest are self-discipline machines under her direct control.
This control hub is so huge that it is completely different from the Empire's small and powerful processing equipment (such as Xiling Host). This is because in the Old Empire era, it not only needs to manage a planet, but also needs at the same time to manage countless World. The huge computing facility is not too big, but now, 80% of the function of this hub is in a shutdown state. Looking around you will find that although all the silver-white buildings are floating blue There are only a few buildings with real energy flashes, but there are only a few buildings with regular lights flashing, and there is a small part of these buildings that is the regulation equipment of the parent star itself-you can see how often Gaia is often idle.
As soon as Shandora and I came to the control hub, Gaia's immediately drew attention. A small group of self-discipline machines floating in the air like octopus grunted in their common language and took us not far away. In a small square, Gaia is on the square waiting for, and there is a large circle of self-discipline machines crawling around-it seems that this is her life scene on Jupiter when she is bored on weekdays.
We had already explained our intention when we sent it, so after seeing us, Gaia did n’t ask much, but nodded.
"About my current situation," the translucent image of light blue in front of me reached out and gently stroked a self-discipline machine that was swimming around, the latter seemed to feel it, and grunted comfortably. The sound, and then flipped over, an octopus-like multi-purpose mechanical arm spread out into a projection array in the air, and then opened a Hologram image of about one meter, "This is the structure of the parent star. The two your majestys should not be strange. "
Me and Shandora nodded.
"This location is the control center, the largest 'city' on the parent star, which is actually a servo array. The port where I interact with the outside world is on this array. at the same time is also the storage of 90% of my information. Area. "Gaia said without hurry. Many self-discipline machines were under the control of her. The same as the first machine, the belly turned around us in a circle, and many Hologram images were unfolded.
I expanded eyes and looked at these pictures I have never seen before: they seem to be a documentary!
A dozen video screens are playing on our surroundings, but what they display is not the numbers and charts I have seen on these Xiling devices. It is the same thing as many live video recordings, and a lot less complicated and unknown The technical symbols are more understandable to me. There is a busy operation center, a large group of imperial technicians rushing through, a cracking reactor and a stream of spaceship, but these are not things that make me stunned. It is really difficult to calm down at a glance. It is the familiar face of appeared for a long time in several pictures.
The Pandora standing on the podium with a straight face, with a gentle smile but apparently on the Alaya, and the Gaia which is quietly standing inside a crystal prism, surrounded by halo— —Not the phantom look of this light blue, but a beautiful with lavender long hair, the same lilac bright eyes, wearing a real white dress girl.
Besides them, some familiar faces also flashed away, except that after the faces of the three Pandoras appeared on the screen, I did n’t concentrate on others. . Shandora looked at the images looped around, and it took a long time to say: "This is the video left in Old Empire?"
Gaia nodded: "Yes, this is the image data left when I carried out a research project, and I lost body after that research project failed."
Although Shandora and I have made some guesses, at this moment is still bigger than eyes.
Gaia tells the story of what happened that year, this is the first time I heard the whole story from her mouth: "Gaia, full name is distributed array type Xiling Host mother machine - Gaia type, I used to be Old Empire The last mother machine of the distributed array Xiling Host, as recorded in the image, I used to be the same as the bubble ... "
By the beginning, it was a heavy news.
But Gaia did n’t give me too much time to digest this information, because obviously she ’s going to talk about bombshells, if I digest them one by one, I ’m afraid I have to digest them next month, so she does n’t stop. Continue to say: "Xiling Host has many different models, such as the bubble, the special name should be 'Honeycomb co-processing type Xiling Host', but these should not be your concern." Gaia very gently pointed out that I understand Lack of strength.
"Gaia type Xiling Host is the last model of the distributed array mainframe, and I am the prototype among them. It is also the only Xiling Host finally put into use. The reason is very complicated. In short, the final Gaia changed from a series code to me Proprietary name. And that experiment was component, a scientific research project of soul transformation that was carried out at that time. "
"At that time, the empire was in the end of the great expansion era, Xiling Apostle gradually reduced the conquest war against the new World, and instead concentrated on the technology to further strengthen its own civilization, and further research on its own soul was one of many research projects at that time. As one of the most powerful Xiling Hosts at the time, I served as the computing parent node in the sky zone, at the same time, and I was also the first test subject to undergo the transformation. Because the special life form of Xiling Host, our soul is more tolerant of all kinds of Transformation, and self-repair ability is very strong, plus I am Xiling Host, I can record first-hand data better than other subjects ... "
"Then ... the test failed?"
I asked carefully.
Gaia nodded silently, and a four-footed automatic machine floated with the Hologram projection on its belly. Some very messy pictures appeared on the projection. It seemed that there was a huge interference when shooting. The picture was broken. The prismatic crystal prism, the host slot that continuously flashes the alarm light, the girl that is gradually dissipating into a light spot, and the Pandora that is pushing a group of Researcher on the ground and is going to be shot one by one-was stopped by the Alaya that seemed dumb at the time.
"Do you usually see these things?" I looked at Gaia and the automatic machine that was playing the disaster scene with a strange expression. I was a little nervous and a little bit painful. You said that a sister of how good just let the inhumane test give It has become a psychological hazard-usually living alone in this large empty city to watch his own death video, is this average person can do?
"I usually don't read this. This is what your majesty wants to see. I usually watch the central ten sets. Those jokes are very interesting." Gaia replied seriously, and I suddenly choked.
Under the explanation of Gaia and pictures, Shandora and I have already understood what was going on in the original experiment. After excluding the parts I did n’t understand ... well, there is nothing left, anyway, I only know One thing, they wanted to transform the soul of Xiling Apostle and make their souls more immortal, but this transformation failed in the end, and the mutated soul was not strengthened at all. Instead, some kind of "concept" was inexplicably erased and became It is not compatible with any kind of body. If it is compared with an example, it is as if you want to optimize your own XP mother. The result is that you can get rid of it. The mechanical layer code of XP mother jumps directly from binary to 32. System, but all the computers on the whole World are binary mechanical codes, so your XP mother has since become a lone ghost, and it can only be turned into a lingering memory in your mind ...
Gaia is like this. Her soul has been transformed into a completely unreasonable look, just like a binary system has been programmed with thirty binary, and since then, anything that can be called body cannot accommodate this soul.
The only thing fortunately is that although body is no longer compatible with the soul, science and technology of Xiling Empire did not let her die. At that time, the scientists who almost let Pandora kill the queued scientists eventually found something like a translation machine. Transfer the soul of Gaia's to this mother star in the form of data. Most of her data is stored in the control center, and some conceptual things that are not easy to understand are combined with the entire planet. This is now Gaia.
Then what we are most concerned about now is: Is this process reversible?
No one has forgotten that we came to Gaia's for the original purpose. We are not here to observe the recording work of XLTV. We plan to arrange for the resurrection of the dead by Shandora ’s old men.
But this idea was actually splashed with cold water when Gaia told about her experience just now. As she explained the reasons for the incompatibility of her soul little by little, cold water gradually transitioned to ice water, so to speak When Shandora and I took the last wish to ask if this process was reversible, the two of us had already followed the Heilongjiang Winter Swimming: almost from the top of the head to the ground.
Sure enough, as I have guessed, Gaia shook his head without hesitation: "Of course it is irreversible, otherwise I will not be the same as it is now."
I looked at the translucent phantom of Gaia light blue. I thought that because of the different base numbers, even the quality projection is difficult to use. I think it is also: if this process is reversible, is this girl in front of me as a movie all day ?
"Then it is all right."
I sagged the corner of my mouth and shrugged helplessly at Shandora. The other party kept his head down for a long time without saying a word, and suddenly said quietly: "In this case, they may really be unable to accept it."
For Xiling Apostle, the most difficult situation to accept is nothing more than this: it has since become a piece of information that ca n’t do anything. It consumes an amazing supply of energy every day to maintain its existence, and there is even a large group of leader bees. If you don't do it, you are responsible for maintaining yourself every day, and live a real life of rice worms.
Gaia can still perform her duties after losing body because she was originally an Xiling Host. What she has to do is not related to combat. As long as there is a sufficiently powerful auxiliary servo array, she can continue to do her previous work. And those veterans of Shandora's? They are all fighters, and the only thing that will happen in tens of millions of years is war. If you give them a star-sized server, they will not be able to study what Xiling Host only understands. Xiling Apostle's race is not the same as Human Race. Their "origin" determines too many things. A newly-made Apostle(s) is determined to be the role of race in the future. A Soldier training to the limit will not understand scientific research. An Researcher goes to the front line every day. After fighting for a thousand years, he could not beat an officer. Pandora only grew a centimeter in the past tens of millions of years. Scorpion said that he would rather not heat his blade. Sicaro is the only wonderful flower, except for fighting. I learned to read palms and resell pirated disks ...
Thinking of this, I can only sigh with Shandora.
But—it ’s still this lovely vocabulary, but Gaia suddenly uttered and seemed to give us some turnarounds.
"your majesty, actually ... PL-15 has been in communication with me once, and he has an idea about the future of 100,000 Vengeance Army veterans ..."
