Recently, Tawil and her research team had been busy tackling a problem, which was the relationship between Miriya and the boxes. The flames of war that were burning everywhere in the universe could not divert their attention in this aspect, which was a little awkward. After all, we all knew that in this world, it was basically the crematorium that dealt with people and boxes at the same time …
Speaking of which, it was inauspicious, but Miriya was really a girl who had an indissoluble bond with boxes. This was something that I deeply understood, especially after Tawil demonstrated us a very interesting experiment.
First, she had Miriya crawl into a container. This was not difficult for Miriya. Even though she was just a baby when she first came out of the container, she had already grown into a slender and elegant girl. However, because she was small and skinny, and seemed to have stopped growing ever since she reached the age of fourteen (a moment of silence), Miriya could crawl into the container when she curled up. From this, it seemed that the two boxes were made with her — although it was unclear who made whom.
I thought of Mercury Lamp. That little fellow was also made with the box … Alright, we digressed.
Back to the main topic, when Tawil demonstrated for us, he had Miriya crawl into one of the containers. At the same time, he left a small, universal probe inside. The probe had a camera function. Miriya held it in front of her and made a face. Then, the researchers closed the container from the outside. This was one of the most recent developments in our research. We had found a simple way to control the two containers.
As the lid of the container was closed, guess what happened?
Just as many people had guessed, Miriya disappeared.
When this happened, my sister and I could not help but exclaim softly. On the image that the probe transmitted back, the girl who was making a face immediately dissipated into the air as the light above her dimmed. There was not even a process. The image trembled a few times. That was the vibration caused by the probe adjusting its position after losing its external support. Under the control of an assistant technician, the probe began to move around inside the container. However, the image that was transmitted back showed that the container was empty.
I instinctively thought that Miriya had teleported again, but in fact, the other container was also empty.
"When the crystal container returns to its locked state, the little girl will leave her physical form." There was a tinge of excitement in Tawil's voice. It was obvious that she was very interested in the phenomenon before her. "But in fact, she has always been inside."
An assistant technician came forward and opened the lid of the container. Miriya sat up from inside and waved at everyone with a smile. I began to think about a question: how did her clothes disappear and reappear … Well, this is one of my bad habits. When I encounter something I can't figure out, I either don't want to think about it or let my imagination run wild. Because of this, my sister always thought that I would grow up to be a philosopher. But later on, it turned out that Pythagoras wasn't famous for his cleverness.
Tawil waved his hand, and Miriya, who had developed a tacit understanding over the past few days, immediately stuck out her tongue and lay back down. The moment the container was closed again, the little girl on the screen disappeared again!
"She was inside, but she was combined with the crystal container in the form of super information. Then, a part of the information was dispersed in the space of the container to directly interact with the surrounding environment. Perhaps this was to record the changes in history, but Miriya's creator obviously did not expect this system to ultimately fail to withstand the test of the flames of war and was damaged. When Miriya existed in the container in the form of super information, the information that was dispersed outside was destroyed, causing her to forget a lot of knowledge. In theory, at least. " As Tawil spoke in a low voice, he quickly pointed in the air a few times and pulled out a control terminal. He pressed his hand on the terminal, and the edge of his palm rippled like liquid metal. Then, he emitted a blue light and fused with the terminal, quickly interacting with the research support system. This was the natural talent of research-type apostles. They were very good at modifying their bodies to quickly manipulate any form of information. In terms of compatibility, even Schilling's computer could not be compared to them. Ever since Tawil's Bubble came into existence, it no longer generated its own PS3 emulator.
Tawil's operation was fast and incomprehensible. My sister and I could only wait quietly to see what other surprises she could bring us. But in the end, what appeared before us was not complicated symbols, but Miriya's smiling face and a girl's slightly mechanical voice. "Hehe, brother, I can see you now!"
"Miriya?"
My voice might sound a little strange, but you have to understand that right now, she doesn't have a body at all. She doesn't even have a shadow like Gaia. From any surveillance footage, the container is empty, but Miriya's image clearly appears on the holographic projection. This gives me the feeling that I'm talking to an electromagnetic wave, or a ghost, and the holographic image in front of me is a supernatural item that receives the ghost's signal. This girl has been haunted since we first met her, and now she's back to square one.
"This is a simulated signal. Through a very complicated code-breaking mechanism, we can get in touch with Miriya, who is in a state of super-information. She used her thoughts to directly enter the analysis system here. When she first tested it, she shocked everyone with this method. That's because the information firewall of the research center was useless!"
Even now, Tarver's tone was filled with an unmistakable sense of surprise. "I've been meaning to ask since the beginning. What in the world is this information?" Tarver asked with a frown.
"It's a lost technology from the Old Empire. It's the artificially created Heart of the World." Tawil was silent for two seconds before he slowly said. She mentioned a certain keyword that triggered our nerves again. I had heard it once before, and I thought I had heard it wrong. But this time, I finally reacted. "Heart of the World? That's it? "
Tawil nodded. "Yes, Your Majesty. That's it."
"That?"
Tawil nodded vigorously. "Yes, that."
My sister began to twist my scalp …
"Okay, okay, okay. Heart of the World, I understand." As I escaped from my sister's clutches, I quickly became serious. At the same time, I recalled the relevant knowledge about the Heart of the World. The Heart of the World was the entanglement of information during the evolution of the world. It was the first byte of the Big Bang, and it was also the carriage return after the universe was extinguished. Back then, God Father had told me that the Heart of the World was the origin of all information in the world. Information would be emitted from the Heart of the World and evolve into a complex world. As the world was gradually destroyed, the information would fall from complexity to simplicity, and finally return to being the origin. God Father had said that the Heart of the World could take on any form. During the evolution of the world, it would 'jump' to any possible object, even a butterfly. Then, this butterfly would be able to blow away half of Texas with a single wing. Due to the Heart of the World's unfixed nature, it was inconceivable that Miriya was the Heart of the World, but it was still acceptable. But what about an artificially created Heart of the World? What was the use of super-information technology in the Old Empire?
And most importantly — who had created this Heart of the World, Miriya's "parents"?
Tawil didn't panic because of my many questions, because her answer was omnipotent. "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't understand …"
Me: "…"
I already said that her answer was omnipotent. Usually, Sandora, Pandora, Visca, and even Icetis would use this answer to get me, and I would always be easily convinced.
"In short, this is a type of technology that can't be used directly." Tawil thought for a moment, then decided to explain a little in order to save her boss' face. "It's a bit like a platform technology. It's not the ultimate goal, but it's the most commonly used method to achieve other goals. Artificially creating the Heart of the World requires extremely advanced information control techniques. It requires a matured universe to be pushed back to its initial state of the Void, and then to evolve back to its current state. During this process, the Heart of the World is forcibly transferred to an individual of our expectations, or simply extracted to form a special existence. I'm not sure which is the case with Miriya's case, but basically, both methods of creating super-information entities are similar. The Heart of the World itself is just a point of information entanglement. It doesn't have any special abilities, and it can't rely on its own will to change the evolution of the universe, because at its core, the Heart of the World is a one-way information valve. Under normal circumstances, artificially created Heart of the World will be used to strengthen the control of a certain world, but that doesn't mean that it only has one function … Hm, the latter part is difficult to explain. You can think of it as a plug-in system for the Tree of Life. Although it can't be used as an operating system, it can make the operating system more efficient. In theory, yes. "
A plug-in? I don't think this word is reliable, because the plug-in on Jingle's Tree of Life has never done anything good.
"So, what do you think Miriya's … 'function' is?"
I said awkwardly. I really couldn't think of a lively girl like Miriya as a plug-in system created by the Old Empire. Her energetic and curious look had been deeply imprinted in my mind. Regardless of her true identity, she clearly looked like an ordinary girl. Although it was a huge pity that she could get into trouble sometimes.
"Key." Tawil pondered for a few seconds, as if he was weighing whether he should make a final conclusion about a certain guess. Then, he raised his head and said resolutely, "She is most likely a key — the shadow space that leads to the Avengers!"
I was instantly stunned. Then, I almost couldn't control myself from grabbing Tawil's shoulder and shaking it violently. But when I considered that my sister might use her head to fling me all the way from the research institute to the headquarters, I finally suppressed this impulse. But I still anxiously asked, "Say that again?! The key to the shadow space?! Why didn't you say such an important guess earlier?! "
"Because the probability of this guess being true was only 60% at first, which didn't meet the standard value required to report to you. But just now, after some data analysis, I can confirm this guess."
Tawil ordered his subordinate to open the container. Miriya sat up from inside and leaned against the side of the container, chatting with a nearby assistant technician. Tawil looked at her from afar and said in his unique scientific tone, "There is an unexplainable coordinate system in her core. This system has been constantly refreshing itself, and it is full of contradictions. Now, I am guessing that it may be the corresponding coordinate system between the real world of this universe and the shadow space."
I thought that Tawil's guess was a little far-fetched, but after thinking about it, you had to admit that this idea was very much in line with the conditions needed for a dramatic development. It sounded ridiculous, but in reality … it was really ridiculous. But sometimes, the more inconceivable something sounded, the more people couldn't help but want to believe it. Throughout history, how many natural and man-made disasters were caused by this bad habit?
The big sister even seriously pondered for a while, then suddenly muttered to herself, "If that's the case, maybe the container number one … is in the hands of the Avengers?"
"You mean, that thing is in the shadow space?"
I was shocked.
"That's the only explanation. Ever since we found these two boxes, we have turned the Mobrador Star System upside down. There can't be a third container here." The big sister nodded. "If Miriya's identity is a key, then the door between the shadow space and the real world should at least have a corresponding keyhole. And these containers are the keyholes … "
I suddenly realized that this theory was very scary and full of all kinds of subtle details. But let's not think about the connotations first. I really wanted to know what was going on with a lock with three keyholes …
"There is one as a backup, and there might be more than one," the big sister said. "No matter what the Avengers encountered back then, when they finally retreated, they couldn't have put all their eggs in one basket …"
I quickly reminded her, "Actually, there is only one egg — Miriya is an only child."
The big sister looked at me with a smile. I shrunk my neck and said, "Please continue."
"I'm done."
I was speechless.
"Your sister is not a deity." The big sister knocked on my head. "I might think a little more, but I definitely can't compare to Lin Xue's eyes. I might be a little more meticulous, but I definitely can't compare to Sandora's schemes. If I have to say, I can only say that it is my intuition. The actual operation will have to depend on an expert like Tawil. "
Thus, I turned to look at the bespectacled lady next to me. "Tawil, I just want to know one thing. How should we use Miriya to open up the shadow space?"
Opening up the shadow space and destroying the entire space-time there to end the war was the method that Sandora had determined to have the highest success rate after careful consideration. However, we weren't clear on how to enter the shadow space. First of all, the shadow space was encrypted. This was also a technology that came from the Xiling Empire. Our decryption method didn't have any technological advantage this time. Next, we had to face a shadow space the size of a universe. This gigantic object had long been separated from the real world. Even the owner of this space could only enter the real world by randomly bumping around like a headless fly … Ugh, I think I know the reason why the Avengers snatched Planet Brown Earth's container.
They also needed an accurate coordinate system, just like us.
As long as Miriya could recall her own 'function', we would gain an overwhelming advantage over the Avengers. We could attack wherever we pointed, while the enemy could only continue to be headless flies!
"Perhaps we can let our most powerful Schilling Host Computer give it a try," Tawil suggested. "The Heart of the Artificial World sounds incredible, but in essence, it is an extension of the Schilling Host Computer. Miriya and Bubble can share the same lifeform. I have already scanned Miriya's core. Her ancient data isn't actually lost. What's missing is the 'decryptor' she used to extract the data. Bubble should be able to do this job. In theory, yes. "
I thought it was a good idea, so I immediately called Bubble over. She was busy coordinating the information that the other Host Computers had uploaded to her. She was always very busy, but when she heard about the situation here, she immediately rushed over.
For the sake of research, Tawil had specially prepared something similar to the Schilling Host Computer Slot for Miriya. It looked like a crystal prism, but it was much simpler than the regular Host Computer Slot. Its data reading method was similar to that of the two containers. The latter had already been determined to be a high-speed information interface. Perhaps its purpose was to allow Miriya to output the corresponding entry and exit routes to the shadow space or the real world.
Now, this special slot came in handy. It was moved to the central computer room of the research institute and placed next to an ordinary Schilling Host Computer Slot. The latter was originally the position of the Host Computer in the research institute, but it was temporarily taken over by Bubble. A mass-produced Host Computer with a blank expression stood next to me, staring blankly at its' mother 'occupying its territory. Just a few minutes ago, it was inside the Host Computer Slot that was calculating the data. I curiously pinched the soft face of the mass-produced Host Computer. It felt exactly the same as Bubble, but the latter didn't have such an agile reaction. She just looked up at me dumbly and bowed.
"This should be a new Host Computer." Big Sister smiled and ruffled the hair of the mass-produced Host Computer. She was also used to treating these mass-produced Hosts as normal girls. "The Hosts that have served in the Shadow City for a period of time will be more agile than her."
At this moment, Miriya had already entered her crystal prism. Even though she had done a few experiments, she was still quite interested in this novel experience. Moreover, this was the first time that someone was floating in the crystal prism like her. She curiously turned to look at Bubble in the other slot and began to knock on the crystal shell in front of her. "Hey! Can you hear me? "
As a qualified member of the Imperial Army, Bubble of course had to remind the other party to maintain a serious expression. "Stop fooling around. It's my turn to open the equipment …"
I faintly sighed at Big Sister. "Do you think that the two of them will be able to do anything good when they work together?"
Big Sister was silent for a few seconds. "I got used to it earlier than you."
