The function of the Heart of God was simple, and the Forerunners created it to be the last safety program of the universe. When the power of annihilation was about to destroy all order, the Heart of God would activate to restart the world.
But to achieve this simple function, they had put in a lot of effort into the Heart of God.
Resetting the world, even if it was a rudimentary technology, required a high level of understanding and control of the laws of the universe, the ability to interfere with the fundamental data of the universe, and most importantly, terrifying computing power.
Most of the modules of the Heart of God were used to support this computing power, and the rest of the modules were used to interfere with the fundamental laws, as well as to connect to other devices.
"I've gotten the detailed parameters from the Scepter of Command, and while I still don't understand a lot of the parameters, at least the computing power is clear, and the Heart of God can fully fulfill the needs of the Creation's Engine." Seeing the debris around the Heart of God being "scooped up" by the tractors, Hao Ren turned to Rheia and said, "Of course, while the hardware is up to standard, it is still a product of two different technology trees, and the driver and language conversion still need some changes, and the initial design of the Heart of God did not provide computing support for other devices, so you'll need to work on that."
"Having the hardware up to standard is more than enough!" Rheia had a surprised look on her face, "I have the software and whatnot, and now that we have the transcode book, it won't take much time. But the size of this thing is obviously not compatible with the core module of the Creation's Engine, and I'll have to change the internal structure of the Creation's Engine later. Hmm, no trouble at all. "
Hao Ren nodded, and turned to look at the engineering droids flying around the Heart of God as they installed external thrusters and dimensional bubble generators, and could not help but sigh, "Speaking of which, didn't the data you found from the Heart of God's database say that this thing was made by the Forerunners using the heart of their highest leader?"
Nolan did not understand, "Yeah, why?"
Hao Ren rubbed his chin, "Erm … Should I say it's really open minded or something …"
"Your train of thought is as good as Doggie's!" Vivian's jaw dropped. "The Ancestral Civilization's technology tree is already at the conceptual level! God knows what they meant when they said they extracted the heart. Besides, they still have follow-up processing! "
"Ah, that's true." Hao Ren mumbled as he stroked his hair, his gaze on the Heart of God turning serious. "Regardless, the nameless kings who sacrificed themselves to create this' heart 'should be able to rest in peace … The L' Haronne civilization had survived, and the Cycle of Annihilation and the fated apocalypse had been successfully ended. They had delayed the apocalypse so many times, and this time, it was truly delayed forever …"
"No, the end will come, partner. The universe has a lifespan, and nothing is eternal," the MDT said faintly. "But at least this time, they will not die because of an inexplicable 'annihilation' and a hopeless war."
"This shattered universe will eventually die, but that day will be a long, long time from now, perhaps long enough for the L 'Haronne civilization to rise again, and even surpass their ancestors," Rheia said quietly. "I have a plan …"
Hao Ren looked at her curiously. "What plan?"
"The L 'Haronne civilization is trapped on this planet, and outside the planet is a chaotic void. While the divine barrier has protected them, but one day, this lonely planet will become their island, and under such circumstances, restoring the height of their ancestors is just a pipe dream," Rheia said seriously. "The Umbral Realm is controlled by an independent dimensional law, so I can't merge it into the Plane of Dreams. So I want to create a starry sky around L' Haronne. The starry sky that we saw when the Revelation departed, I've memorized it, and while I don't know which era it was, but the L 'Haronne civilization must have been bathed in that starry sky one day … I want to return it to this civilization."
"Creating a galaxy for them, that's a good idea." Hao Ren was also touched by Rheia's plan, but he had a question. "Can it be done? It might not be difficult for the official gods of creation of the three major divine systems, but you shouldn't be able to do such a thing right now … That's hundreds of millions of stars and planets, and a vast expanse of space. Its scale is even larger than the entire Dark Realm. "
"I'll work hard to learn." Rheia shook her fist in front of her chest. "And the chaotic region of the Umbral Realm is not completely empty. There are many information fragments floating around its edge, and I can extract the materials to create the stars from them. And I've recently learned how to open up a field of order in the void, and the knowledge of the world barrier. I can reshape the world barrier of the Umbral Realm and let it expand …"
Rheia said with a confident expression. "Maybe I need many years to do this, but I'll get it. I want to complete this before the mortals of L 'Haronne have the ability to fly to the stars, and then I'll help them open the barrier on the planet, and then it'll be … Wow, a big surprise! "
"Then you have to be more careful," Lilith reminded him sincerely. "Don't underestimate the human technology tree. When the time comes, the orbital telescope will be launched, and you'll still be frantically drawing pictures on other planets. It'll be embarrassing if people see it."
The husky maiden's train of thought was, as usual, above everyone else's.
Rheia was still not used to communicating with the husky, and she even seriously considered it before clapping her hands. "Then I'll first set up a vision barrier or something, and then explain it with gravitational disturbances or spatial distortions, and then remove the barrier after I'm done. Once they've developed to the point where they understand the truth of the universe and won't be affected by the concept of gods, I'll then tell them that those are all DLC … "
Hao Ren almost fell from the sky. "What DLC? How did we go from a serious topic to this?!"
Vivian silently pointed at the husky maiden who had an innocent look on her face.
"Lily, keep your imagination in check!" Hao Ren rolled his eyes at the husky. "Rheia is still in school, she's been led astray by you!"
He then turned to Rheia. "You don't have to take everything this fellow says seriously. If even half of it goes through her head, she's already doing better than usual. Especially in such a hot place, her intellect … Hey, Lily, why are you biting me again! "
Rheia looked at Hao Ren, and then at Lily who was biting his arm, and felt that she really needed to learn more …
At this moment, Nolan's holographic projection suddenly appeared next to everyone. She glanced at Hao Ren, who was bitten by Hao Ren, and said expressionlessly, "Boss, there's a new discovery."
Nolan's voice was like a heavenly melody at that moment, and Hao Ren quickly took the opportunity to pull his arm out from under Lily's fangs. "Stop it, this is serious business. What discovery?"
Nolan only said one word, "Vaccine."
Whether it was Hao Ren who was checking the bite marks, or Lily who was licking her teeth and looking for a place to bite again, as well as Vivian and Rheia who were watching from the side, all of them were stunned when they heard the word.
A moment later, an engineering drone appeared before them, and at the front of the drone was a black, obsidian-like stone slab fixed on its mechanical arm.
"What is this?" Hao Ren frowned. "A Foundation Stone?"
"That's right, a Foundation Stone, but it should be the 'mother stone' of all Foundation Stones," Nolan said. "It's stored in a special cabin in the Heart of God, and the security is very tight. If not for the Scepter of Command giving us full access, I wouldn't even know about the cabin's existence."
"How could a Foundation Stone be a 'vaccine'?" Hao Ren was confused. "Based on the information we have, the Forerunners did not develop any vaccine, right?"
"They really didn't develop a vaccine. This' vaccine 'was produced by itself after the Turn of the Eras," Nolan explained. "The role of the Foundation Stone is like its name, it is the fulcrum of the world's reshaping. Due to the imperfect technology, the Forerunners could not control the laws of the universe like the Gods, and they had to set up countless' relay points' to realize the functions of the Heart of God, and these relay points were the Foundation Stones. Every Turn of the Eras, the Heart of God would first need to collect a large amount of data from the universe, and then reset, reboot, and after the reboot, it would need to set up new data collection and injection points, so the so-called Foundation Stones were not only the database of the Heart of God's database, but also its … "
"Sensors and outputs?" Hao Ren finished Nolan's sentence. "I understand, so this piece before us …"
"All the Foundation Stones were replicated by it, and after the universe was destroyed, all the information of the destroyed Foundation Stones would also be uploaded to this' mother stone '. This process is similar to mass projection, but obviously much more superficial." Nolan commented on the Forerunners' technology, and revealed how the Foundation Stones became the 'vaccine'. "Originally, the rebooting process of the Heart of God would completely reset the corruption of the world, including the Foundation Stones, but after this process continued for many times, this' divine artifact 'that was created in a hurry finally had a problem, and we don't know which era it was that made a mistake, but one of the Foundation Stones completed the upload in a corrupted state."
Hao Ren immediately frowned. "Such a huge accident? The Heart of God was not infected? "
"No, if the body of the Mad Lord was still in this universe, the infection would have spread further, but this universe only has the remnants of the Mad Lord's power, and these remnants are not that difficult to deal with." Nolan shook her head. "The Heart of God should have detected a system malfunction at that time, and I found in the logs that there was a period of time where it frequently resets certain key processes. This is probably one of the reasons why the inheritors' souls and memories were damaged, but no matter what, its emergency measures had an effect, and the corruption left in the Foundation Stones … was converted, and this Foundation Stone itself became the vaccine we were looking for."
