The two girls involved in the experiment were placed in two crystal prisms about ten meters apart from each other. After greeting each other, they signaled to the staff that they could connect. Then, they slowly closed their eyes.
As the data synchronization began, Bubble and Miriya simultaneously entered a state of deep sleep. The central computer room was silent. There was only the faint sound of energy flow and the buzzing of some detection equipment. In the two crystal prisms, one was the most advanced Schilling Host of the New Empire, while the other was an information aggregation left behind by the Old Empire. They used their own method to communicate with each other, deep into their souls.
I began to imagine the lily blooming in my mind …
"This is unbelievable."
Tarver's eyes glowed with passion. "Such a massive flow of information and illogical calculations. Perhaps this is the only time Bubble's computing power has been fully unleashed. The performance of the Mother Machine is indeed incomparable to the mass-produced models. But I'm more concerned about this little girl named Miriya. Her information structure actually contains such a complex set of rules. If we can understand this set of rules, perhaps our Shadow Realm can also expand to cover the entire universe. When that time comes, the capital city will truly become the Unfalling City. Theoretically speaking, that's what's going on …"
I glanced at the research maniac. "Then, we will be like the Avengers. Sooner or later, we will be locked in there and go crazy."
"Your Majesty, there is currently no evidence to prove that Miriya is the only way to open the Shadow Space. Also, the reason why the Avengers created her and left her in the real world is still unknown," Tawil immediately said to me in a very serious tone.
I felt that I had run out of topics to discuss with this fellow who was too stubborn. Also, I didn't know when Bubble would complete the synchronization with Miriya. So, after giving some instructions, I left the research center.
My elder sister had already left half an hour ago. I walked alone on the open-air platform outside the research center. My emotions gradually calmed down from the excitement of learning Miriya's secret. Looking outside, the God Fog Planet's atmosphere was still dominated by storms and thunder, but because of the energy shield above the city, not a single sound could be heard from this spectacular scene. Looking at the silent storm outside, it felt like watching a silent blockbuster.
The Army of Vengeance's main attack had just stopped yesterday, and the flames of war had temporarily subsided. But all the peace was to cover up the greater madness that was about to come. The Psionic Death Star was ready to go, and the Army of Vengeance was also gathering. This was the opposite of the storm before them: the latter was the calm under the storm, and the former was the storm under the surface of the calm.
"Ah Jun, are you daydreaming again?"
The sudden voice behind me startled me. I turned around and pulled the golden-haired girl into my embrace. "Why aren't you making any noise when you're walking?"
Sandora blinked. "There were at least two groups of patrolling soldiers saluting you just now, but you didn't notice!"
"… Alright, it seems that I was distracted."
"What are you thinking about?"
"About world peace …"
"Be honest."
"When can we go home and rest?" I asked honestly.
Sandora flashed a bright smile, and her beautiful ocean-blue eyes curved into two clear springs. "You've also entered a state of war-weariness, just like me back in the day. But back then, I only started to get tired of war after fighting for fifty thousand years."
Tsk, how can humans compare to you!
"Do you know about Miriya's situation?"
Although I was sure that Sandora would be the first to know about the high-priority information uploaded by the research institute, I still asked her.
"I know, although I'm a little surprised. The little black wild cat that ran out of the noodle stall was actually the product of the old Empire's technology, and it might have been created by the scientists under me. I still don't understand why they created Miriya, but I'm afraid that the secret will be revealed soon. "
I also felt a little emotional. "Yeah, she's really an incredible girl. In her first experiment, she accidentally broke through all the firewall of the research institute, and to Tawil's astonishment, she uploaded herself to the server layer of the research institute's mainframe. One more step and she would have ejected the mainframe from the mainframe slot."
This was what Tawil had told me in the research institute with a slightly frightened tone. No one could have imagined that Miriya would have such an astonishing achievement. Of course, the culprit herself had no idea about it, and even now, she couldn't remember that she had done such an earth-shattering thing. When entering a state of super information, or entering the state of Information Entanglement, Miriya's way of thinking and perception would undergo a huge change. She wouldn't be aware of her own existence, just like how we couldn't see her. Under such a situation, even if her information body stayed in the container, her thoughts would be able to enter any place through anything that could transmit information, including the mainframe slot of the research institute.
"The technology of the old Empire is really incredible."
After thinking about it for a while, I could only sigh.
Sandora didn't say a word. She was obviously thinking about things much deeper than me. After a while, the Queen who had a heavy burden on her shoulders said faintly, "Ah Jun, actually, have you ever wondered why the Avengers left Miriya, the key, outside?"
"Err, that's true. Since Miriya is the hub that connects the shadow space and the real world, such an important unit should be firmly in their hands. However, the Avengers actually dared to let her stay in the dangerous real space for so many years. Oh my, 'ten thousand years' is already a basic unit. They are really confident in the container that they created."
"That's because they probably hoped that someone could open the door from the outside." Sandora suddenly sighed. I was instantly stunned.
"Perhaps they have always been waiting for me to return and even left a key behind. However, in the end, their plans couldn't keep up with the changes. The creatures in the universe went extinct, and the key also lost its effect in the flames of war and time. The collapse of the Empire's territory almost caused the entire world to be removed from the Void Sequence, and they themselves … went crazy."
I sighed and hugged Sandora tightly in my arms. Perhaps no one would have thought that the Queen who sat on the throne energetically every day would actually have moments of sadness. "Sandora, this is all just a guess. Don't forget, when they discovered that you had returned home, they used the warship's cannons to welcome you — they didn't even have their souls left. Even if those soldiers were indeed waiting for you to return home, they died on a certain day a long time ago. At the very least, they stood guard for you for the last time. Don't think too much about it now. It's our responsibility to let these soldiers rest in peace. "
I discovered that I was occasionally a very emotional person, and I also discovered that when I was emotional, it was usually at the wrong time. Sandora was already a little emotional to begin with. Now that I said a few words, her mood instantly became even lower.
I quickly chuckled and didn't say a word. Fortunately, Sandora had a tough personality to begin with. She would never be depressed for more than a few seconds. In fact, when she spoke again, the topic of conversation had already changed. "Ah Jun, the Revenge Army has launched a surprise attack on the celestial system fleet."
I was stunned for a moment. Then, I suddenly exclaimed, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?!"
"Because it's not a big deal." Sandora lifted her head with a faint smile on her face. "The surprise attack only lasted for a few minutes. It can't even be considered a firefight. They sent a group of stealth special service spaceships to charge above the death star's corona. They only circled around once before they were burned to ashes by the death star's flames. The nearest planetary warship, the Teldrassil, didn't even open fire. "
"They were investigating the structure of the death star?"
I blinked and came to a realization.
"Yes. PL-15, the warlord of the Army of Vengeance, was a cautious general. The combination of countless commanders' spirits had made it a habit to conduct reconnaissance before every action. This style seemed to have been preserved even after it lost its soul. The Psionic Death Star is a superweapon that not even the Old Empire had created. Although it may not be as high-end as some of the Rule Weapons, in a standard fleet battle, the power of a Psionic Death Star is unprecedented. PL-15 is curious about that thing, so it is eager to know what kind of thing this star-sized fortress is. "
"He actually dares to provoke us," I said. "We have thirty planetary warships. Although they are just for show, at least on the surface, they already look like a super force. He actually dared to send a few special service spaceships to investigate the flagship of the Imperial Army. Is this considered being cautious?"
"Of course it is, because he knows that we can't take the initiative to attack. Does the celestial system fleet look like something that can be used to charge?"
I instantly fell silent.
Indeed, the celestial system fleet seemed like something that was specially used for people to investigate. It was huge, powerful, and a meat grinder on the battlefield. However, it was slow. It was like a super knight that was equipped with hundreds of kilograms of metal and wielded a meteor hammer. In a one-on-one fight, even a platoon of infantry might not be able to leave a mark on it, but in terms of mobility, it might not be a match for the Town Security … That was how the celestial system fleet was. The warlord knew that it was impossible for us to use a fleet the size of a solar system to rush over and play guerrilla warfare with it, so he boldly sent spaceships over to satisfy his curiosity. Since the war had already begun, none of us had to worry that anyone's provocation would cause the already boiling pot of oil to boil any further. As for losing more than ten invisible special service spaceships at once, fine, we all knew why two countries didn't kill the envoys in a war. In television dramas, this saying was often used to reduce the number of actors. Basically, whoever shouted this in front of the camera, the audience would know that the person would most likely not be able to appear in the future …
Of course, there was another important reason why the enemy dared to do this. They knew very well that the number of standard spaceships was no longer enough to support a conventional war. Now that the Imperial Army had an unprecedented deterrent power because of the celestial system fleet, it was an indisputable fact that we had lost one-third of our conventional fleet in the previous war. Even though we could resurrect most of the high-level warriors, it would take time to build those huge spaceships. The enemy's spaceships were almost three times more than ours. In such a situation, the Imperial Army's mobility forces were severely lacking. They had a military fortress, but they couldn't take the initiative to attack. The enemy wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to find out the truth.
"Compared to being investigated, I'm actually more worried that the real situation of the 'zero' grade planet warships has been exposed," Sandora said worriedly. "If it were the standard planetary warships of the old Empire, they would usually be equipped with a general warning system. Even the invisible special service spaceships would have a hard time avoiding thirty planetary warships equipped with such a system. But the Vengeance Army's reconnaissance team was only destroyed when they charged into the sky above the death planet. Furthermore, it wasn't the planetary warships that were supposed to be escorting them. There's no reason for them not to be suspicious."
"Let them be suspicious. Anyway, we will soon find a way to enter the shadow space." I smiled. "Tawil is analyzing Milia's core. The key that the Vengeance Army created back then has finally served its purpose: to invite Her Majesty home."
"That's just a guess." Sandora smiled.
"But are you sure you want to destroy the entire shadow space?" I was dazzled by Sandora's bright smile. This beautiful lass's eyes and smile were the two most lethal things to me. So, I quickly moved on to the next topic. "I have to say one more thing. The shadow space could very well be the final foundation left behind by your Empire. It could even be the grave of your soldiers. Back then, you destroyed the document library, and this time, you want to blow up your Empire?"
If the Empire had any cultural relic protectors, they would have been crying bitterly by now.
But Sandora just shook her head calmly. "The Shiring Apostles don't need graves and epitaphs. The only way we can commemorate the past is to step on the shoulders of the past as we move forward into the future. I feel sorry for my Empire, but I don't think that giving it a spectacular end would be any worse than letting it turn into a mad hell. If we don't destroy the shadow space, the bodies of the Vengeance Army will one day become a great disaster in the multiverse. Didn't you notice? They maintain their ability to evolve and expand after their death. Their warships are all the latest products … "
I shuddered. I realized that the Shiring Apostles had many similarities with the common cold virus.
The Vengeance Army's Warlord, who had yet to be seen, wasn't satisfied with just one investigation. In the next twenty-four hours, the Celestial System Fleet intercepted a few more investigations from the enemy, including ordinary information scans, unidentified probes (at this juncture, anything with an unidentified identity would definitely be the enemy), and invisible special service ships. After the Celestial System Fleet raised their alert level, the enemy's investigation work was obviously hindered. However, the biggest hindrance wasn't the patrol fleet, but some wonderful "little gifts".
Big Sister's power was directed at the Celestial System Fleet's ultimate misfortune transfer.
This curse power was a level higher than a piece of white paper with circles drawn on it. It was one of the few sources of danger in the world that even the Shiring Apostles had to be cautious about. We still clearly remembered Big Sister's glorious achievement of using a single crystal to directly wipe out an entire race. After such a long period of improvement and training, Big Sister had now become even more powerful than before. Well, the main thing was that she was more adept at controlling her own power. Now, she had found the trick to exploit certain loopholes in the laws of nature. She could exploit these loopholes to multiply her power.
Due to the special properties of the curse power, Big Sister's power could bypass some "formalized" obstacles and ignore any defensive measures. As the saying goes, even the best martial arts would have to be afraid of bad luck. Even if you mastered all kinds of martial arts and seventy-two fist techniques, there would still be times when you would have a problem eating your teeth. Big Sister's power exploited this "coincidental equals inevitable" loophole. She caused all the unauthorized surveillance equipment of the Celestial System Fleet to malfunction, such as invisibility failure. This kind of curse was not lethal. It was only by reducing the power of the curse to such a "troublesome" level that Big Sister could make her power cover such a large area. But in this case, even if it was not lethal, it could still be very lethal. We all knew what would happen to a spy when there were thousands of Empire warships eyeing them covetously. In theory, it was more exciting than having more than 20 security guards knocking on the door as soon as you threw a beautiful woman on the bed. Ever since Big Sister's power came into play, the enemy could no longer break through the outermost planetary warships of the Celestial System Fleet.
This situation successfully made the Vengeance Army suspicious. They had never seen such a powerful supernatural ability before. So, they thought it was the warning device on our planetary warships finally working. So, the frequency of activity suddenly decreased, and they began to focus on waiting for the army to finish assembling.
Sandora was ready to launch an attack and use the power of the Psionic Death Star to teach the enemy a lesson. But at this moment, an unexpected piece of good news made her change her plan.
The next afternoon, Tawil's projection appeared in front of me. "Your Majesty, we have opened the door to the Shadow Dimension."
After a day and a half, the analysis of Miriya was finally completed!
When Sandora and I hurried to the research center (I realized that I had been going there a lot recently), we happened to see Miriya wolfing down her food. Although according to Tawil's deduction, a life like Miriya would never die even if she did not eat, she had spent more than ten years developing the habits of an ordinary human. For an information life, a person's "subconscious" could sometimes replace reality. So, when she found out that she had experienced a day and a half of experiments in the blink of an eye, she immediately "felt" hungry.
Tawil asked Miriya to have a good rest after eating. Then, he led Sandora and me to a small lounge next to the central engine room. I noticed that apart from the joy of the successful experiment, there was also a hint of worry on her face. So, I knew that the situation was not just good news.
"Your Majesty," Tawil said straightforwardly like a scientist, "I'm afraid we have to make a choice. Miriya is indeed the key to the Shadow Dimension, but … when she carried out this task, her design life was less than 48 hours. "
