Gwen felt that it was time to tell some things to the people he trusted the most.
People like Heti, Rebecca, Byron, and Amber had spent the most time with Gwen and knew him the most. Their trust in Gwen was unquestionable, and time had proven that they supported and supported the current common cause from the bottom of their hearts. This determined that many of their words, deeds, and judgments were based on their agreement with Gwen's ideas, not purely driven by interpersonal relationships or interests. On the other hand, after spending such a long time together, they had also realized, to a certain extent, many of Gwen's special features and the close relationship between him and the Voyager's legacy.
Since there were no fools among them, it was better to tell them some things in advance.
Now that Kassandra and Asalaina had learned the truth about space, and in order to further repair the Firmament Station, the truth would soon be spread to the upper echelons of the Dragons and Sirens. So Gwen planned to take this opportunity to tell some of the core members, including Heti, about the Firmament Station and the satellite array. After all, if everything went according to plan, the Firmament Station would be revealed to the world sooner or later. During this process, Gwen also needed to use the ancient Voyager's legacy to do many things. In this case, if the most capable and trusted people around him were kept in the dark, it might cause problems at some critical moments.
After all, the core members of a team needed a tacit understanding. If there was no tacit understanding, when you told the people around you to "follow my eyes" at critical moments, they could only look at you with a confused face and say, "What the f * ck are you talking about?" That would be quite a pain in the ass. And even if it was not a bad thing, more and more secrets among the core members of the team would tie up his hands and feet, and there would be unnecessary concerns out of nowhere.
Heti noticed the serious look on the ancestor's face. The Imperial Grand Governor, who was always confident and reliable in front of outsiders, felt nervous out of nowhere. All these years, she only felt this kind of nervousness in front of Gwen, which reminded her of her childhood. She followed the ancestor's instructions and took a chair from the side and sat next to the wide desk. She then watched Gwen come over and sit on the high-back chair on the inside of the desk. She then carefully asked, "Ancestor, what do you want to tell me?"
"You don't have to be so nervous. I'm not going to criticize you." Gwen was still a little worried about where to start telling Heti these challenging things. But when he saw her nervous look, he could not help but laugh. "I just have something that I haven't told you, Rebecca, Amber, and Byron. Now I feel that the time is right, so I want to tell you."
Heidi had just breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard the names mentioned by the ancestor. She quickly realized the special "level" of these people, and her expression immediately became serious. "Please go ahead."
Gwen touched the stubble on his chin and pondered for two seconds. Finally, he slowly said, "You should know that 700 years ago, I left the Luolun Continent and went on a secret voyage. During that long voyage, I arrived at another continent in the southeast of the Luolun Continent. On that strange land, there stood a giant tower left by the Voyager. I once entered the tower."
"Yes, I know about it." Heti immediately nodded. "At first, I only knew the 'legendary version', but later you told me some details about it …"
"That's not all the details." Gwen raised his hand and gently tapped his temple. "In fact, what I 'climbed' back then was far more than just a tower, and the connection between me and the Voyager's legacy is far more than that adventure. Today, there is still an unbreakable connection between me and the legacy. Here, in my mind, in the depths of my consciousness, every minute and every second is an unimaginable exchange of data. In a sense, I am now the Voyager's legacy. "
Heidi slowly widened her eyes. She could not fully understand what Gawain said yet, but the parts that she could understand were already enough to make countless shocking conjectures pop up in the head of the steward of the Imperium. She could not help but swallow. While calming down the thoughts that were running everywhere in her head, she asked, "Are you saying that your consciousness is' tied 'to the voyager's legacy? Those … ancient facilities can carry human consciousness? And on that tower … "
Gwen smiled and interrupted Heti. "Don't worry, I'll tell you now what's on the tower and what's in the sky above our 'world'.
"First of all, I want to tell you some concepts about the 'orbital spacecraft', the 'permanent space station', and the 'orbital elevator'. Ah, don't worry about what an 'elevator' means. Just think of it as some kind of elevator …"
In the next few minutes, Heti's mouth barely closed.
With Gwen's clear and patient explanation, the 'true side of the world' that she had never imagined slowly opened up in front of her. The 'satellites' and 'space stations' that had overlooked the planet for the past million years, the alien creations that could operate semi-permanently in space, and the 'orbital elevator' that could extend from the earth to the stars — all these things that had been operating quietly beyond the sight of mortals for a long time all challenged the worldview of the imperial steward. But at the same time, it also strongly aroused another emotion in her heart: curiosity and the impulse to explore.
To think that there were still such shocking things in this world, and they had been "beside" the mortals all this time.
But soon, she calmed down. Although the ancient facilities in space were amazing, the Gateway project led by Kamel not long ago had also found the same incredible things in the realm of the gods. The Sentinel cruisers and the Sentinel Mother Ports were amazing creations no less than the satellite array and the orbiting space station. Those things had well tempered Heti's calmness in the face of the voyager's legacy. So now she was more surprised by the 'connection' between her ancestor and those legacies.
"… For the past many years, my consciousness has been staying on a surveillance satellite in space, overlooking the land. It was not until Amber woke my body up that I was able to return to the ground. But the connection between me and those things in space has not been broken. Instead, there has been further 'progress.' For example, I have now taken over the Firmament Space Station that orbits the planet …" Gwen's voice was calm with a reassuring aura. "I used this special perspective to determine the location of the Cold Winter. Not long ago, I also got in touch with Kassandra and Asalena, who entered the Firmament Space Station through the orbital elevator …"
Heti's eyes widened. After a long while, she said thoughtfully, "No wonder …"
Gwen asked with a smile and curiosity, "No wonder what?"
"No wonder you have that way of looking at the world. No wonder you can always stand on a transcendental height to deal with the problems we encounter," Heti said softly. There was an inexplicable complex emotion in her voice. "I used to think that this was your innate quality and wisdom that you had comprehended after transcending life and death. But I didn't expect you to spend 700 years observing and thinking about the world …"
Gwen opened his mouth and looked at Heti with a little surprise. After a moment, he could not help but laugh. "I always feel that your understanding is a bit off, but it's okay if you think so."
Heti pondered for a moment and said with a thoughtful expression, "So, you plan to let the Dragons and the sirens help to repair the … space station? You want to use the repaired space station to fight against the possible backup plan of the sentinels? "
"I'm afraid it's too late, and it's a big uncertainty. Before we actually try it, no one knows if the sirens and the Dragons can understand the Voyager." Gwen shook his head. "I do plan to use the Voyager's legacy to fight against the sentinels, but as for the repair of the space station … this is a long-term plan. Even if we start now, it will probably be a long time before we have any progress."
"Who knows about this matter now? How far do you plan to go? " Heti asked again. "In the future, do you really plan to let the other members of the Alliance … 'share' all of this?"
"Now you know, Kassandra and Asalena know, and soon Byron will know too. Everyone who is trustworthy and shouldering heavy responsibilities should know about this. And one day in the future, these things, including the Firmament space station and the satellite cluster, will inevitably be made public to all members of the Alliance." Gwen had made a decision. "The mortals on this planet will eventually come out of their cradle, whether it is for 'adulthood' or to survive the demonic wave that will spread throughout the universe. As long as we plan to take this step, the Voyager's legacy in space will inevitably be something that everyone will inevitably face.
"Crabs that drag each other down will never be able to climb out of the cage. This is a very reasonable proverb, especially in this world where the environment is not very friendly. The path of advancement for mortals is full of dangers, and I don't want everyone to be trapped and die on this planet in the end.
"Of course, we can't be blindly optimistic in this process, and we can't unconditionally believe that everyone is as rational as we are. The luckiest part of this process is that the Voyager's space buildings, including the Firmament, are all under my control. We can exert the greatest influence in the process of the Alliance's contact with the Voyager's legacy and ensure that the process is under control."
"I understand." Heti nodded gently. "You're much more far-sighted than I am."
Gwen's mouth twitched. He felt that Heti seemed to have changed a little after knowing the truth. If he had to put it into words, it was that she had more admiration for her ancestors, which was not what he had expected at first.
It could only be said that she had once done magic research, and the blood flowing in her body was the same as Rebecca's. Her ability to accept things was incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Thinking of a certain iron-headed roe deer, Gwen could not help but mumble to himself, "I wonder how Rebecca will react when she knows about this."
"Her? I'm afraid she can't think so far ahead. "Heti could not help but smile." Her biggest reaction is probably that 'our ancestors are too awesome', 'as expected of my ancestors', and then for a long time she can't sleep because she can't brag about it to others. Or she will pester you to tell her the story in the sky. Ah, the last sentence is a little inappropriate, but I'm saying it from Rebecca's perspective. I'll just beat her up later. "
"Ahem." Gwen suddenly coughed. "You're a little wrong, aren't you?"
"I'm kidding." Heti's mouth suddenly curled up. "I'm also looking forward to seeing how the child will react when the time comes."
For some reason, Gwen suddenly felt that Heti was much more relaxed in front of him at this moment.
…
Under the clear night sky full of stars, the majestic ancient "tower" stood between the sky and the sea. This was the first magnificent scenery that humans had ever seen in this season, and at this moment, everyone standing under this giant tower would spontaneously feel like they were participating in history.
Byron raised his head and looked up at the deep night sky.
The optical masking system concealed the figure of the giant space structure that could be observed from the surface of the planet. But even if they could not see anything, as long as they knew the existence of the miracle, their mentality when looking up at the sky would inevitably change forever. Especially when they also knew the "little secret" of the people they were loyal to in the process, the change in mentality was even more inevitable.
"Seriously, do you understand what I'm saying?" Ashalena's voice came from the side. The red-haired Dragon Mark Witch looked curiously into Byron's eyes in the night.
"To be honest, I don't understand all of it. It's mainly about the concept of space stations and satellites …" Byron scratched his messy hair. "I only know that it's some very advanced technology that can make some important functions float in the sky forever and orbit the planet … But I understand the part about His Majesty."
"For 'non-professionals' like us, it's enough for us to understand this part." Asalena exhaled softly as if relieving the pressure that had accumulated before. "What do you think?"
Byron thought carefully for a long time. Countless emotions and sudden realizations rose in his heart. The old Knight, who was the first marshal of the Imperial Navy, turned his eyes to the vast sea in the distance. After a long silence, he finally said in a deep voice, "His Majesty is awesome."
Ashalena was speechless.
"I can't help it. My education level is just like that. I can't even read my daughter's grammar textbook." Byron spread out his hands. "But there's one thing I'm sure of. When the war is over … the world will really be turned upside down."
At the same time, on the other side, Kassandra had just finished reporting her experience in the Firmament Space Station to the siren general Vanessa.
Vanessa, who had experienced the "big crash," was greatly shocked. She had not felt such shock for a long time since she woke up near the crash site of Antavine hundreds of thousands of years ago.
"The giant ring-shaped structure that we saw during the fall …" the siren general muttered to himself. "It's been hundreds of thousands of years, and we've once again come into contact with this kind of information, and it's actually under such circumstances …"
"General Vanessa." Kassandra glanced at her sisters who were on guard duty behind Vanessa. Her expression became serious. "How many deep-sea technicians and deep-sea witches did you bring this time?"
