"Let me explain something. About the activation terminal … there should be some connection between the two sides."
Abyssal Schilling suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
"Until yesterday, it was just a guess. I deduced it based on the activation terminal's blueprint and function. But now that there is a real thing in front of us, I can basically confirm it." Abyssal Schilling sorted out her thoughts and turned to look at the ancient immortal creation in space. "The activation terminal is probably the only thing that can break the incompatibility boundary between the two sides. It is not a matter in the ordinary sense, but a pure product of information entanglement. You see it there, it is actually you receiving the information of its existence to the outside world. Of course, according to the theory of the Grand Unification of Information: information is everything, we can still think of the activation terminal as a real 'thing', but its birth process still needs to be understood: a simple process of information entanglement, even simpler and more direct than the Empire's information-matter conversion. Therefore, the activation terminal has some unusual properties. Both sides use the same set of blueprints, and the process of information entanglement is exactly the same, so the activation terminal is exactly the same. Because the whole process is not based on the local material foundation, it does not have any attribute deficiency for us. "
Abyssal Schilling's explanation was simple and easy to understand, and I immediately understood what she meant: the activation terminal is not made from the 'matter' of one side, including the so-called extraordinary matter has nothing to do with the activation terminal, so it naturally does not have the phenomenon of 'attribute deficiency.' There is only one blueprint for the activation terminal, and from the processing method to the raw materials, it is all designed by a genius on the other side. So far, it seems that the Heart of the World on both sides is essentially the same, so the activation terminals are all the same. But I still can't believe it: because the big lump floating in the distance does not have the same style as the activation terminal made by Abyssal Schilling. It looks like a burnt and deformed plastic ball, but the activation terminal made by Abyssal Schilling is a bright ball of light. No matter how much trouble this naughty child has caused, at least her sense of beauty seems to be better than the other side …
Sandora also thought of this, and she asked curiously, "You said that the activation terminals made by both sides are the same? That's a big difference! "
"Outer appearance? Appearance doesn't matter. The activation terminal doesn't have a fixed shape at all. It will turn into a dazzling ball of light after charging, but when it's completely shut down, it will cause information collapse. It's not surprising that the 'cooled' activation terminal turns into anything. "Abyssal Schilling shrugged." Don't forget what it's made of. The Heart of the World itself is something that doesn't have a fixed shape. When the activation terminal stops, it will turn into any shape. This messy ball … is probably the image of one of the Heart of the World on the other side. "
Icetis listened to him for a long time. Suddenly, she had an epiphany. "That means it's possible for this thing to turn into a pretty girl? As long as it's something that can appear in the universe? "
Abyssal Schilling glanced at Icetis, baffled. "Theoretically, it works, but does it make sense?"
"It's meaningless." Icetis giggled and patted my shoulder, "Your girly aura didn't work this time."
I was speechless. "…" Just where did this crazy woman's train of thought go from just now?!
"Now it seems that the bridge-building experiment that led to the destruction of my homeworld had such a detail …" Lin Xue looked at the black ancient device thoughtfully. "It's not that the other side doesn't know that the bridge needs to be 'opened' from both sides at the same time. They also know that two activation terminals are needed, and they sent one over. It seems that they intend to use remote control or a timed method to open the door at the same time? But for some reason, this theoretically feasible plan failed … The activation terminal that was sent over didn't even activate. "
"According to historical records … it didn't activate." Tawil nodded. "The activation of the activation terminal is a very obvious and spectacular phenomenon. During the battle of the Tranquil Core, the entire universe was illuminated by the light of the activation terminal. According to historical records, my homeworld resisted against the opening of the Abyss for many years, but no one ever saw the appearance of a huge pillar of light that connected the world. This means that this thing didn't even activate, and for some reason, its outer shell even peeled off, leaving only the core. In theory, yes. "
Abyssal Schilling suddenly revealed a strange smile. "It seems that the New Army is destined to fail."
I was stunned for a moment before I understood what Abyssal Schilling meant. After the battle of the Tranquil Core, we salvaged some confidential information of the New Army and finally confirmed that the radical lunatics did indeed create another activation terminal and sent it to the other side. They really did intend to use remote control to "open the door at the same time." But now it seems that this path has been tried by another death-seeking civilization a long time ago, and it didn't work at all. Although it doesn't necessarily mean that the "remote control plan" isn't feasible, at least we can now confirm that there is a problem with this path.
Tawil has already confirmed that the core "can still be used," so the problem must be in the execution process.
It's a pity that the New Army would never know about this.
In fact, speaking of which, the New Army was quite impressive. They could actually create another activation terminal in just a few months after the Abyss split, and forcibly send it to the other side. This ability can only be described as terrifying. It should be noted that activation terminals were rare, and now that one core was missing, Abyssal Schilling was worried to death. But those lunatics just casually created another one and even sent it to the other side …
It can only be said that those who have no limits are really omnipotent. The biggest problem in creating activation terminal cores is that it requires a large number of World Cores, and they must be "pure natural." Synthetic fast-growing products can't be used. The biggest reason why Abyssal Schilling is that she still has a limit. She can't attack other worlds (the Void Triumvirate would beat her up), nor can she attack her own territory in the Abyss (she can't bear to). But the New Army is different. They destroyed all their worlds, either sacrificed them to recharge the activation terminal or dismantled them to create the core. Moreover, they also plundered many innocent worlds in the White Zone in a few months of crazy operations — this is what we found out from the seized database. The Void is so vast that some areas are beyond the reach of the Protoss and the Empire. It is impossible for us to keep an eye on every raid by the New Army, so we can only keep an eye on the known worlds. And so, those shameless lunatics achieved this almost miraculous "result."
But they don't know that they chose a path that failed countless years ago.
Of course, most of this is just my guess. After all, there are many details of the "Gate Opening Incident" in my homeworld that could not be investigated, and the real reason why this ancient activation terminal could not be activated was still unknown. Not to mention that the New Army has no evidence, and it is difficult to restore the entire truth with just some broken databases that were salvaged after the war.
"What is the real reason that caused this activation terminal to fail?" Sandora appeared to be thinking. She has always been a meticulous person, and it is impossible for her not to consider many hidden problems. "The Gate of the Abyss that appeared in my homeworld was a failure. Could this activation terminal be faulty? Would it be inappropriate for us to just use it? "
"There is no problem with the activation terminal itself." Abyssal Schilling nodded vigorously. "Although we can't see its true appearance without activating it, some of the preliminary tests have passed smoothly. It is very easy to determine whether the core of the activation terminal is in good condition. As long as it can complete a few attribute checks, we can be 100% sure that it is not faulty."
Tawil also expressed his opinion. "Perhaps the problem back then was with the outer components of the activation terminal. Those components were probably damaged during the launch, but that is not important. We only need its core now. In theory, yes. "
"Then, what should we do next?" I looked at the strangely shaped ancient core. "Should we just stuff this thing into the outer shell of our activation terminal? Do we need to modify it, adjust its size, grind the interface, or something? "
Abyssal Schilling gaped at me. After a long while, he finally lowered his head in admiration. "Father, your imagination is the only thing that amazes your daughter."
I was speechless. No matter how amazing your disguise is, naughty children are all the same!
Tawil coughed to relieve the awkwardness. "Ahem, the specific installation plan has not been finalized yet. First, we have to check the core thoroughly from the inside out. After all, it has been so many years, and it is not made by the Empire, so I feel a little uneasy. After the inspection, we have to figure out its energy supply mode. Although the activation terminals of both sides are exactly the same, their energy interfaces are always' special 'products made by their respective civilizations. We haven't found the socket yet … In theory, at least. "
Hence, the experts were busy looking for a socket for this thing. It was a really high-end job.
"Speaking of which, is our psionic energy in charge?" I suddenly remembered that the activation terminal used psionic energy to charge. At least, the activation terminal that Abyssal Schilling had created used psionic energy. "Will there be any conflicts?"
"Didn't I say that the activation terminals of both sides are exactly the same?" Abyssal Schilling looked at me helplessly. "Can you listen more carefully? The activation terminal is probably the only thing that doesn't cause any 'incompatibility' between the two sides. Of course, the energy can be used interchangeably. Also, psionic energy is just a type of extraordinary energy. According to the Void Stairs, as long as it is on the same level, it can be interchanged. Psionic energy can be transformed into a world, and the world can also be burned into psionic energy. Holy Light, high-level arcane spells, and the Power of Truth are equivalent to psionic energy. Since it is so easy to transform, even if one of the energy frequencies isn't good, we can immediately change it. At most, we can just install a 'transformer' in it. Anyway, the internal space of the activation terminal is quite spacious, and we can stuff a lot of things in it … "
I wiped the non-existent cold sweat off my forehead. "Why do I feel that your plan is even more random than my imagination? Is there really no problem with this? I feel that the quality of the activation terminal is worrying. "
"At least it is a complete device. There won't be any problems." Abyssal Schilling spread his hands. "Also, the activation terminal is only responsible for the 'activation' task in the entire process. To put it bluntly, it is a one-time consumable. After the bridge is built, it will be useless. The Void Bridge will maintain its own stability, and the activation terminal will evaporate on its own. Yep, the plan is perfect. It seems that I am still as powerful as I was back then. "
Everyone: "…"
Finally, I glanced at Lin Xue and Xiaoxue. These two prophets' only role here was to act as a barometer. When Abyssal Schilling finalized the "plan", the mother-daughter pair nodded simultaneously.
Alright, then it seemed that there really wouldn't be any problems … Theoretically speaking, at least.
Just like that, the problem with the activation terminal was suddenly and happily resolved. All that was left was for the specialist team to worry about. I felt that if I continued to stay in this place where there was so much information, sooner or later I would die of inferiority over my limited knowledge. So, I said goodbye and left.
Icetis also left with me, and Xiaoxue also came with me. Icetis was because her profession didn't match. Listening to Tawil and Sandora discuss the activation terminal was like listening to a book from the heavens. As for Xiaoxue, it was because … Forget it, did naughty children need a reason to do things? Although I didn't really understand why such a young lady would need to drag her father's arm out to go shopping.
The three of us arrived at the bustling commercial street of the City of Shadows. I wasn't sure if it was because I was in a good mood after the activation incident was resolved, but I felt that the scenery before me, which I saw every day, was now much livelier. Various races filled my vision. Humanoid and non-humanoid creatures dressed in strange clothing were bustling on the streets. I could barely remember where they came from, but I couldn't recognize most of them at all. On one hand, it was because most of them came from the macro world and didn't leave a deep impression on me. On the other hand, it was because these people had completely assimilated into the City of Shadows, which was unprecedentedly tolerant. They were already a part of the City of Shadows and could be considered to be locals through and through.
In the past, Lin Xue had unintentionally lamented that everything about the City of Shadows was good except for the fact that it couldn't find its own culture. The Shiring Apostles had never studied such things. Their culture was generally carved on the warheads, and the visitors from various worlds were ultimately just passersby and temporary residents. They couldn't be considered as the "natives" of the City of Shadows. But now, I felt that Lin Xue's lamentation was completely inappropriate. Wasn't this the culture of the City of Shadows?
It was tolerant of all things, full of vitality, and everyone could live in peace. Every day, there would be a lot of incidents that would make one not know whether to laugh or cry. Countless customs and habits would compromise here, and they would work together to form such a wondrous atmosphere. This was completely the culture of the City of Shadows. It could even be called the culture of the New Empire.
Alright, it seemed that the problem with the activation terminal had been resolved. I was so excited that I couldn't control my emotions. Looking at a few Centaur girls on the street tangling with two shoe peddlers was enough to make me sigh over so many things. But then again … Centaurs use horseshoes, right? Ladies in front, don't you think that you should look for a blacksmith or something to buy shoes?
Just as I was thinking that, I saw one of the shoe peddlers take out a few horseshoes from a small bag beside him. "Ladies, do you want to try this? It's a genuine horseshoe. I'll help you nail it on … "
A mysterious little satchel, a fake product with a suspicious brand, and operating without a license … Although he wasn't wearing sunglasses or a "uniform", I immediately understood what was going on. After two months of peace, those bastards under Sicarro had finally sprouted a few branches in the cold. Damn it!
But … well, since I was in a good mood today, I might as well let them off. Besides, it had been a long time since I saw the scene of the City of Shadows' Town Security fighting against Sicarro. After such a long period of war, the army couldn't even catch their breath. Now that we finally welcomed a relatively long period of peace, it would be a good idea to let those bastards relax. Although the Shiring Apostles didn't seem to need to relax much.
"Peace is so good." I looked up at the clear blue sky and sighed. "When I relax, the entire world is so beautiful as though it was photoshopped …"
"Your way of describing things is still so jumpy." Icetis placed her hands behind her head and walked beside me vigorously. Even though we were just taking a stroll, she was full of vigor as though she was on a rapid march. "However, seeing that you have completely recovered, I am also relieved. You don't know how awkward it is for someone who is usually so carefree and optimistic to suddenly become serious and deep. When I look at you every day, I feel as though my worldview has been reorganized. "
Icetis' words were still straightforward. It was as though a rock had smashed into my face. However, this straightforward way of speaking still made me feel that she didn't hide her concern from the bottom of her heart. My heart seemed to be moved and the smile on my face softened. "To be honest, I have been taken care of by you all these years. You also know that I have been forced to be an Emperor. Sandora can teach me some knowledge, but she really doesn't know how to guide people … Such a half-baked Emperor makes you worry, right?"
"In the beginning, I always felt that … a Schilling God like you has nothing to do with me." Icetis glanced at me with her scarlet eyes. "But unknowingly, I realized that you are quite interesting. I couldn't help but be concerned about you. After all, it is not easy to watch a Void Creature grow. I will be able to brag about it for the rest of my life if I torment you."
I thought about it. This female gangster could be considered a Schilling God. However, back then, we were on two parallel lines. Even though we were friends, it wasn't easy for the carefree Sister Bing to be concerned about the path of a leader of a different race. However, she had been helping a half-baked Emperor like me all these years. She had put in more effort than the other five members of the Protoss gang. She had even forgotten which race she belonged to before she accidentally became a Schilling God. (Jingle was in a similar situation. However, the little thing's erratic behavior was due to her intelligence. She couldn't be compared to Sister Bing.) What does this count as?
A voice suddenly came from the side. "A child bride who has moved the Void Creature for four years without a name … Oh, she doesn't seem to be considered a child bride? Don't worry about the details. "
I turned my head to look. Xiaoxue was beside me. It was rare for this lady to not speak along the way. I had almost forgotten about her just now!
The moment Xiaoxue said that, Icetis seemed to be in deep thought.
