Two glaring balls of light that were as bright as miniature suns were guided to a predetermined position by a traction device. Then, their mysterious internal structure began to unfold as boundless radiance separated from the balls of light. The radiance did not dissipate, but rapidly solidified as it was released, slowly forming spires and halls of various forms. The entire process looked as though pavilions were slowly forming from the radiance. I was captivated by the mystical sight before me and could not help but click my tongue. "So cool. What's the principle behind this?"
"Long-distance Void transportation is very taxing on energy," Hilla said proudly. "That is why Shingchen and I have been researching how to compress the things that need to be transported as much as possible. You know, everything is information, and since it is information, it can be rewritten, compiled, changed into another form, and edited according to certain rules. Then, anything can be compressed. Yes, that's it. We converted things like the Sacred Hall of Knowledge and the Temple of Truth into light and information to create these two balls. Originally, the Star Region is quite close to here, so there's no need to compress things from there. But, I handled it while I was at it. Doesn't it look beautiful? "
"Err … We have something even brighter at home." I could not help but glance at Sandora, before showing an expression of admiration. "But it is indeed magical. Perhaps the Empire should research this technology."
"The Empire did, but did not continue as the technology tree was not compatible," Sandora said. "The Empire and the Protoss's transportation technology in the Void are different. The Protoss — be it Huron or the Star Region, their starting point and foundation were directly built with the help of Void creatures, which is why their Void travel tends to be 'simple and crude'. The so-called transportation is to simply pack a bunch of things and send them out against the pressure of the Void. The Empire's starting point is mortals, and our first Void voyage was filled with danger, which is why the technology tends to be 'careful and meticulous'. We use special cargo ships, space garages, and mathematical stability devices to transport large amounts of goods. Although the Empire now had the same 'simple and crude' capital as the Protoss in the Void, the technological tree that had been developed over millions of years would not be easily changed. Hmm … the Shiring Apostles did indeed learn a lot from the Protoss, but it's not appropriate for them to do something like this. "
"Maybe we should learn something from you in the future?" Hilla raised her eyebrows and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "You guys are better than the Protoss in terms of … Hmm, in terms of being more cautious. Our starting point is too high, and we're used to being careless, so it's easy for us to make mistakes. It's a pity that Huron is a little far away from you guys … My understanding of you guys was basically relayed by Xing Chen. "
I smiled, knowing that she was basically joking. Although the Shiring Apostles had developed rapidly, and the new Empire now had Void creatures guarding it, the current Empire couldn't even compare to the old Empire back then. No matter how much they caught up later, they wouldn't be able to surpass the two veteran Protoss. At the very least, they wouldn't be able to keep up with these guys who had been accumulating for countless years in the short term.
At this moment, the "decompression" in space had already reached its final stage. The two dazzling little suns appeared much dimmer than before, and the various facilities of the God Realm that had been compiled and compressed in a miraculous manner appeared in front of us in order. I was very familiar with everything about the Star Field Protoss, and I could recognize it at first glance: a tall and magnificent domed temple was the core of the building complex. This temple had a pure white main body and a sky-blue crystal dome. There were also elegant golden runes below the dome as decorations. Surrounding the temple were four gigantic minarets. The four minarets were all in the style of the Dark Protoss. They had a deep and solemn hue, and their slender spires were luxurious. The top of the minarets were connected by four long bridges, and the rapidly moving lights on the bridges indicated that these weren't just simple "bridges". Perhaps they were something similar to energy pipes. Surrounding the building complex were various small temples and castles. I could tell that they belonged to the Order Gods (Dragon Gods), the Light Gods, and the Dark Gods respectively.
The only thing that couldn't be seen was the iconic temple of the Life Gods, which was fused with the giant tree.
But I smacked my head and understood what was going on. This was a research base, and obviously didn't fit in with the group of forty to fifty silly little things who could barely understand elementary school test papers. They couldn't join in the fun …
The facilities of the Star Field Protoss was a floating temple district in space. It was glorious and magnificent, but not extravagant and ostentatious. As always, it had the strict and solemn feeling that had been accumulated for countless years. Of course, in their own eyes, it was just an ordinary big house. The building that the Huron Protoss had sent was an eye-opener: most of the people present had never seen what the Huron Protoss's building looked like.
It was a strange building that was made up of light purple crystals.
They should also be temples, but compared to the sharp edges of the Empire base and the elegant and complicated lines of the Star Field temples, the Huron Protoss's temples looked more like clusters of light purple crystals growing wantonly. Although they still had the shape of a building, all the main ridges and corridors were surrounded by clusters of crystals. They weren't as tall as the Star Field buildings, but the faint glow that enveloped them spread over a large area, even enveloping the entire Huron base in a light purple mist. Their shape looked a little strange to me, but it didn't affect the beauty of these buildings at all.
It was a kind of strange beauty that was between artificial and natural. Those magnificent crystals weren't decorations, but the building itself. Or, it could be said that these buildings themselves were a kind of gorgeous and random "artwork."
It seemed that the Huron Pantheon really liked crystals. Their main storage device was a kind of crystal prism, and it looked similar to the material of these temples. This should be the main resource of the Huron Divine Realm? Also, the extraordinary substance that King Huron created seemed to be a type of crystal … As expected of a female Main God. She liked such shiny and beautiful things.
"It's beautiful!" Just as I thought that girls would like such shiny things, I heard Shallow Shallow's excited voice. "It's purple! I like purple the most! "
Sandora raised an eyebrow. "Don't you like pink?"
"I'll like purple for a while, I'll change it back tomorrow … It's so beautiful, I like purple the most!"
Everyone: "…"
"The main facilities of the Star Field are in place. Spatial anchoring complete. Frame is in good contact! Connecting auxiliary facilities in progress. "
"The main facilities of the Huron Divine Realm are in place. Spatial anchoring complete. Frame is in good contact! Connecting auxiliary facilities in progress. "
"Connecting the Abyss Equipment Team and the Schilling Equipment Team … Connection complete. Status is good. Inserting translation program!"
Bubble's voice echoed in the hall. She was currently adjusting the connection and synchronization progress of all the temples and research bases with the help of the "user manual" submitted by the two main Protoss of the Huron Star Field. Right now, it was only a preliminary connection to allow the computing cores of the various bases to communicate and translate smoothly. As for the activation of all the units, it was still up to the respective managers of the facilities to operate.
Hearing the broadcast, which meant that everything was progressing smoothly, everyone in the hall relaxed. At the very least, there were no problems with the translation program that they had worked overtime to come up with.
"These are mainly the processing facilities for the Core of Order. There are also some facilities for the research and production of energy components related to the Power of Truth," Hilla explained to us. "Of course, there are also facilities related to the Abyss. I've already given the detailed list to your great scientists. You will probably need some time to master these things and integrate them with your deep submersible ships. "
"You can start with the information from the Abyss Schilling first, followed by the Star Field's and finally Huron's. Integrate them bit by bit," Xing Chen suggested from the side. "Take it slow. There will always be some time."
I nodded and looked into outer space. Then, my gaze returned to the holographic projection beside me. The projection was showing a full view of the entire deep submersible port. Looking at the magnificent buildings and the light spots shuttling between the buildings, I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
The four major forces that resided at the apex of the Void represented the knowledge closest to the truth in the World of Order. It was a joint project that was far more magnificent than Project X at the end of the Old Empire. Now, it was right in front of me, gathered in this small experimental port.
Star Field, Schilling, Huron and the Abyss Empire that no one had ever thought of working with. The four groups that had originally developed independently and would never have intersected with each other were working hard for the same goal, even to the extent of changing the structure of the Void.
I felt a sense of excitement that I hadn't felt in a long time. This was the second time I had felt this excited ever since the initial establishment of the Macro World. Regardless of whether the 'bridging' was successful or not, everything that happened here today would undoubtedly go down in history.
Yeah … If the bridging failed, it didn't seem like there would be anything to go down in history.
I wasn't the only one. Everyone else was quietly watching everything that was happening before them. A quiet and tacit atmosphere enveloped everyone. Xing Chen and Sheila had weathered countless storms, but I reckoned that even they had never worked on such a large-scale project before.
"We are going to make a hole in the Void." Shallow Shallow checked the hole in her brain and tossed out such a sentence.
Then, everyone at the scene echoed in unison, "We are going to make a hole in the Void …"
'Let's hope that the Void doesn't become as imaginative as Qian Qian,' I added in my heart.
The solemn atmosphere at the scene lasted for a long time. Even Shallow Shallow and Icetis began to seriously listen to the experts discussing the difficult but important issues. This solemn atmosphere was finally broken by a fox dog. She had rushed here excitedly, but when she realized that there wasn't any sunlight or snacks, she became listless. In the end, she curled herself into a ball and rolled around in the hall. I had no choice but to bid farewell to her in advance so that I could send her home.
Of course, there was another reason why I bid farewell in advance: I didn't understand what the experts were talking about …
However, when I teleported to the City of Shadows with the foolish fox, I received a call from the Military Command. "Your Majesty, there is a report from the Tree Elves. It is related to the Abyss, A-rank intelligence."
The Tree Elves were the most unique of all the Spawn Races. They weren't specialized in combat like the other Spawn Races, and their daily missions weren't like the special military units that were responsible for specific warzones and patrol routes. The Tree Elves were a race that was friendly and sociable. They were the ambassadors of the Empire's foreign countries. As long as there was a place where the Shiring Apostles interacted with other races, they would be able to be seen. Thus, the Tree Elves could be said to be spread throughout the entire Empire. Furthermore, they loved to travel far and see new things. They could even be found in the more dangerous and desolate areas. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were the most widespread race in the Empire, second only to the Shiring Apostles. It was also because of this that the Tree Elves were always able to bring back special intelligence that the soldiers of the Empire tended to overlook.
Thus, the Tree Elves could be considered as the Military Command's intelligence unit. Their intelligence gathering ability and the Macro World's network complemented each other. One leaned towards the civilian side while the other leaned towards the military.
However, the Tree Elves rarely brought back information related to the Abyss. This was because they weren't a combat race. Even if they loved to travel far, they wouldn't go near the Abyss. Those things were classified as war reports from the frontlines and usually had nothing to do with the Tree Elves.
I was slightly stunned. The foolish fox behind me immediately pricked up her ears and asked, "Master, you're not going home?"
I raised my head to look at the alloy ring in the sky. "The Military Command has some matters to attend to. I'll go and take a look at the situation first. You can go home by yourself. "
"Then I'll go buy some things!" The fox girl's eyes turned as a new idea popped up in her head. She wrapped her tail around my body and rubbed it against me. "Master, give me money!"
I pushed her tail away and frowned. "Where's your allowance for this month? It's only been half a month! "
"I spent it all." The fox spirit didn't feel embarrassed at all. She wagged her tail vigorously. "I bought snacks, beautiful clothes, hair care fluid, and a twenty year membership at the Beastman Beauty Salon in the south of the city … Master, give me money!"
I glared at this canine creature, but she pretended not to see it. After a few minutes, I knew that I couldn't outlast a husky. I could only helplessly point at her and say, "Give me your wallet."
In the original system of the Empire, money was a superfluous thing. The unlimited production capacity and the 'simple style' of the Empire's soldiers were enough to stifle any commercial activity in the womb. Coupled with the black technology of 'Information-Matter Conversion', the Schilling Civilization had entered a strange state of unlimited resources (only limited to regular resources). Naturally, commerce couldn't develop. However, as the new Empire changed its policies, the daily lives of ordinary races were also included in the Schilling system. This situation changed a little. We couldn't directly open up unlimited production capacity to ordinary races. This would destroy their current civilization and social order. In a short period of time, a lively and civilized race would turn into a lifeless parasitic race. Therefore, we had to preserve their commercial activities and create the Empire's universal currency (virtual currency). This was the reason why the various races in the City of Shadows were flourishing. The Shiring Apostles were relatively isolated from these commercial activities (because they didn't have any material needs). However, there was a certain connection (to satisfy curiosity or pure boredom). Due to the strong self-discipline of the Shiring Apostles, we didn't have to worry about this situation getting out of control.
However, some people weren't so self-disciplined. That was why the stupid fox's pocket money had always been tightly controlled by me. If she wanted to buy something, she could only ask for money from me. Of course, she could also collect the fur that she had shed and weave it into a scarf to sell. However, this could only be done during the change of seasons. Furthermore, the things that she weaved were basically sold by me …
The pocket money she earned from raising her favorability was more than the money she earned from selling her scarf. Even if Fox had been nourished by life for the past three to four years, she would still be able to calculate this clearly. Moreover, she was actually quite smart.
After watching the huge golden furball disappear from my sight, I raised my head to look at the alloy ring of the military headquarters. Then, I was directly teleported to the command center in the center of the ring.
A beautiful lady in a light green dress and a few people from the Imperial Army were waiting there. I recognized one of the Imperial Army officers as the highest-ranking officer under Halland: Zadom. The beautiful lady wasn't a stranger either. She was the Elf girl who had a bit of a lesbian tendencies, Green Calyx.
Everyone at the scene stood up and bowed. I waved my hand in advance. "It's not a formal occasion. Don't be so troublesome. Green Calyx, are you the one who has the information? "
The Elf girl's long ears twitched. She looked behind me and seemed a little disappointed when she didn't see Liliana. However, she didn't delay any further. "Yes, we have checked the Green Star's memory bank and found that there was something strange in the navigation log."
The Green Star was the Ark of Exile that the Tree Elves had taken when they escaped from the Empire District. It was a planetary fortress that had its core hollowed out and was crudely modified. After the Tree Elves returned to the Empire and settled down in the Empire District, this ark had completed its mission. As the planet's resources had dried up and the internal modifications were irreversible, the Green Star, which had an unfavorable living environment, was now treated as a memorial and monument. Recently, it had been docked in the shadow space.
The Green Star was the "Ark of Doom" that had survived the calamity of the Empire District and was relatively well-preserved. The Empire had a specialized research team to conduct long-term research on it. Such arks usually carried crucial information from the few hundred years before and after the Empire's destruction. They could help us uncover some secrets. However, the Green Star had been docked for several years now. The analysis on it had already been completed. The Green Star's database had also been carefully checked several times. In theory, there shouldn't be anything missing.
As if noticing the doubt on my face, Green Calyx immediately explained, "It isn't the planet's database. It is the memories left behind by the Mother Tree."
The Mother Tree, the source of life for the Tree Elves. It was also the foundation of their race's reproduction. That great plant had once fused with the Green Star and accompanied the Tree Elves on their long journey through the void. At the end of the journey, the Mother Tree had already withered and died. However, with the help of Jingle's leaves, it was reborn. This was the information that I had on the Mother Tree.
"The Mother Tree's memories are very unique. Only the Tree Elves are able to read some of it through the cycle of life and death." Green Calyx explained why she had only discovered this information today. "After our race awakened from its slumber, we began to reproduce again. The newborn Tree Elves are different from other races. We are born with the memories of the Mother Tree. Then, some of the recently born Tree Elves discovered an abnormality … The Mother Tree remembered that it had returned to the Empire District after leaving the Empire District. However, there was no mention of this in the log!"
