Chapter 1130 Discussion About the Starry Sky

As twilight approaches, the rays of light in the distance have gradually receded into the mountains, leaving only a little dark red afterglow shining on a small piece of sky in the direction of the giant sunset, while a broader dark blue night diffuses from the other direction. In the depths of the night, starlight gradually appeared, and the stars that mortals had looked up to for thousands of years were becoming more and more obvious in the dark blue.

How many magnificent imaginations and idyllic fairy tales are carried by those bright spots in the night sky? Perhaps even the most profound scholars of the Silver Empire cannot describe them all. The stars hang high in the sky, in the realm beyond the reach of mortals. The long distance and unchanging brilliance carry a kind of almost divine meaning to the groups bound by gravity on the earth, so since ancient times Since then, countless divine stories have unfolded around the stars and taken root in the hearts of mortals.

And these stories describing the starry sky have nothing to do with the real and vast stars in the universe.

Both Amon and Enya have personally confirmed that there is no kingdom of gods above the stars, the kingdom of gods is just a foreign space built by mortal thoughts, and the countless stories pointing to the starry sky in the world are just a magnificent layer An empty shell, the universe outside which mortals have never really touched, and are never ready to touch.

But the stars in the vast universe will not stop twinkling because of mortals' indifference—it is there after all, and everything in the depths of the star sea is constantly moving, and now there is finally a voice that spans the vast distance of the stars, regardless of the various races on this land Ready or not, this voice has arrived.

Of course, all of this is still unproven, but at least as far as Gawain himself is concerned... He thinks that the voice is most likely pointing to the starry sky.

After all, there are already visitors from the starry sky like the Kraken on this planet, and the records of the Dragon Clan even show the ancient sailor fleet and the alien alliance forces who embarked on the expedition together with the fleet—so he is willing to It is believed that there are other intelligent creatures among the distant stars. They may have just opened their eyes and looked up at the sky, and they are sharing this world with the mortals of Loren at this moment.

The evening wind blew over the top of the Sorin tree and whistled over the monitoring antenna. The giant magic hub in the distance and the nearby monitoring antenna made a low buzzing sound together. Belsetia seemed to wake up suddenly from contemplation. He opened his mouth and said: "As for the stars, astrologers have always had a vision beyond ordinary people. Since the age of Gondor, human magisters have successfully measured the distance between our planet and the sun and 'O', and determined The twinkling stars in the universe are all high-energy stars similar to 'Ao', and at about the same time, the scholars of the Silver Elf put forward guesses, thinking that our 'sun' is actually a high-energy star similar to 'Ao' A star, except that it is more gentle and does not burn violently..."

"I remember this, when I was an apprentice knight, my mentor brought from town a book which records a meeting between a human magister and an elf magister, and a debate about the stars at the meeting "Gao Wen nodded, "Scholars believe that it is because of the mildness of the sun that we can survive on this planet, and the excessive energy radiation of 'Au' will destroy any ecosystems that are close to it... On this basis, a Gondor magister once hypothesized that if there are stars in the universe that are not violently burning and have suitable energy intensity like our sun, and there are solid-state satellites similar to ours in their suitable orbits , then such an environment may breed alien life.”

"At that time, no one knew the origin of the sea monster, and no one knew that the mysterious creatures living in the deep sea came from the universe—even today, only a few people in the world know this,

This is because some of Cecil's popular science propaganda is at work," Bertila said with a little sigh, "but in those days, the top scholars in the mortal kingdoms have already set their sights on the starry sky , and even began to guess what those distant worlds looked like. "

"But before they made further discoveries, the demonic tide destroyed the mighty Gondor Empire, and in order to make up for the huge scars left by the demonic tide on the world, even the Silver Empire was dragged into the vortex that lasted for centuries , all development has stagnated or even regressed for hundreds of years," Belsetia said softly, and the sound of Ye Hai flapping in the wind could be heard in the distance, "Thinking about it now, it was really a glorious but ignorant age, our top-level We have explored so far toward the truth in the depths of the world, but the main body of society has been stagnant. A wave of demons has come, and the Gondor Empire, from the top magister to the bottom of the people, has been wiped out in an instant——we are deeply attached to this world. The dangers are utterly ignorant."

"I remember you described this situation accurately," Bertila suddenly looked at Gao Wen, "the top and bottom are seriously disconnected in the field of knowledge, and there is no connection between cutting-edge technology and social productivity... how to put it ?”

"The knowledge structure at the top and the bottom completely loses continuity, and cutting-edge technology cannot be transformed into the productivity of the entire society, which eventually leads to serious development imbalances, and the disaster resistance and recovery of civilization are greatly weakened. When a world-class disaster breaks out, only Some elites were unable to protect the entire civilization, and were even unable to protect themselves. Occasionally, surviving social individuals were unable to rebuild the society due to a rupture in knowledge, which eventually led to the rapid destruction of the entire civilization—this is how the original Gondor Empire ended. "Gao Wen casually said the theories he had summed up at the beginning, and then he glanced at Bertila in surprise, "Have you also read the things I wrote?"

"...Occasionally, I will take a look," Beltera said somewhat unnaturally, "at least it will help me to sum up how everything will die in the end."

"...In any case, reading more books is always beneficial." Gao Wen touched the tip of his nose, and then sighed, "Oh, it's a pity that many countries are still following this old path..."

"After all, for the order created by the extraordinary, it is the easiest and safest choice to concentrate all knowledge and wealth at one point," Belsetia chuckled and shook her head, "Fortunately, Anzu has been reborn from the ashes, Typhon Reforms were carried out earlier, and the Silver Empire... the group of congressmen have become much more sober over the years."

Gawain didn't respond for a while, but just looked into the distance with some ecstasy, watching the edge of the canopy of Thorin's giant tree gradually being stained with silver light by starlight. After a while, he suddenly said: "From a certain point of view, the scene in Gondor that year The demon tide...maybe it saved the lives of all mortals in the whole world."

Bertila was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Why do you say that?"

"On the eve of the outbreak of the demon tide, Gondor and the Silver Empire were already on the verge of exploring the starry sky. The magisters had theoretically analyzed too much knowledge about the stars - but they hadn't taken that substantial step," Gao Wen frowned, his voice was calm and thought-provoking under the night sky, "And once that step is taken, the biggest 'curtain' when mortals perceive this world will be lifted, which will lead to ritual Sexual 'final disobedience' happened early, and mortals at that time..."

Gawain didn't continue talking, but Belsetia was already shuddering. At this moment, the night wind had stopped, but there was a rustling sound of leaves trembling deep in the canopy of Sorin's giant tree. Bersetia was the first to break the silence: "So if the demon tide hadn't erupted back then, the scholars of Gondor or the Silver Empire would most likely try to explore the starry sky... What happened to the dragon race more than a million years ago will happen to us!"

Gao Wen nodded slowly, and his voice became extremely low: "But we may not have the good luck like the Dragon Clan. We can survive the fusion of the gods at the critical point of being wiped out, and find the opportunity to bow our heads in time to survive."

"So the demon tide back then was actually saving the entire mortal civilization from a macro perspective?" Belsetia's eyes widened. "It sacrificed the Gondor Empire, but saved all the mortal kingdoms except the Gondor Empire. Is that what you mean?"

"If you think about it this way, it will appear that the magic tide is a well-designed operation. In the absence of evidence, it is best not to make such an assumption." Gao Wen immediately shook his head, "Besides, even if it is really a 'handwriting' of an existence , we are destined to not be able to get the answer - the only person who can make this kind of 'shoot' is a certain god, and we have no way to ask the gods about the situation."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and said in a strange tone: "At least there is no way for the time being..."

While talking, he thought about it secretly, thinking that although it seems that no one can be found to obtain evidence for this matter, maybe he can try to find Enya to ask about the situation after returning... Although the retired dragon god can't do anything now Everything is "speakable", but at least compared with when she was on the job, she now has a high degree of freedom in speech, and there are some things that can be asked directly.

Bertila didn't know what Gawain was thinking during the few seconds of silence, she just asked curiously: "Then are we 'ready' now?"

"...no one knows, not even me," Gao Wenwen could use his identity as an "extraterritorial wanderer" to make a fuss here, but he looked at Bertila's already heterogeneous figure, and finally Choose to tell the truth, "I once said that when it comes to matters involving divine disasters, there is no way to find an accurate 'variable' for many things. We cannot predict the critical point of the gods' madness, nor can we calculate where they will go. Only a mere mortal is ready for the 'ultimate disobedience'... The only thing we can do is to do everything we can to fill in the gaps during the development process, so that we can improve our chances of survival when 'that day' comes. Bigger."

"That doesn't sound like what the dreaded 'Outsider Wanderer' should say," Belsetia said suddenly, "but hearing you say that makes me feel a little more at ease."

Gawain smiled, but did not respond to the other party, while Bertila spoke after thinking for a while, and brought the topic back to the "signal": "Do you think... if that signal really came from the Frost Sky Constellation, its What kind of civilization would the sender be? I mean... how threatening is it?"

"It's hard to judge," Gao Wen frowned, "From a common sense point of view, they have the ability to transmit signals across such a long distance to our planet, which shows that they have more advanced technology than us, at least More advanced communication and detection technology, but until we decipher the transmission methods of those signals and improve our understanding of the starry sky, no one can be sure whether those 'senders' sent signals simply by virtue of powerful technology or environmental factors Coincidence. Furthermore, communication and detection technology is only one of many technologies, and it cannot be used to judge the technical strength of the sender in other fields.

"To take an extreme example, maybe this method of communication across the starry sky is actually so simple that even primitive people with sticks can project their thoughts to distant stars, but we just don't have Just discovered this simple principle..."

Belsetia thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Your example is too extreme."

"Example, it's just an example." Gao Wen raised his hand and waved it, "I just don't want you to be too nervous. There is another point I need to correct...or remind me, although the signal is after the main antenna points to the Frost Sky Constellation appeared, but that doesn't mean it came from 'Frost Sky'."

"Frost Sky is just a constellation, and the celestial bodies that make it up are most likely distributed in a very vast starry sky, and they are distributed in three dimensions. The celestial body that emits the signal can only be said to be in the direction of "Frost Sky", but the specific Where did it come from... Astrologers still need to work hard to calculate it, and now it is wrong to say that the signal comes from the Frost Sky constellation."

Hearing Gawain's words, Bertera couldn't help covering her forehead, and Bersetia beside her also muttered softly: "It's been many years since I heard Uncle Gawain's lecture..."

Gao Wen: "..."

He was a little dumbfounded, but as a gust of night wind blew through the treetops, his mood gradually relaxed a little.

"Perhaps we're being too nervous," he said, "it's just a voice that pops into our world, and judging from the amount of math it carries at the beginning, it's more like a 'greeting' to introduce ourselves, Representing to another intelligent race in this vast dark universe that they are also a group of intelligent beings that can communicate - I know this idea is too optimistic, but before we figure out what the symbol at the end of that message means , everyone can still be optimistic."

"Well, I really like an optimistic attitude," Belcetia said while exhaling, "I will also bring those symbols back to the scholars of the Temple of Stars to see. The talent in language and writing is not weaker than that of humans, and our ancient records may also be helpful... You don't mind the silver elves participating in this matter, do you?"

"Of course not," Gao Wen said immediately, "As I said at the beginning - this is a major event for all mortals, and I plan to make this project public within the entire alliance."

His tone was sincere, but he didn't say everything that was on his mind.

Now that the technology of the entire monitoring system is in the hands of Cecil, the core secrets of the main antenna array will definitely not be shared, and even if other countries get the technical data of this top-notch magic device, they may copy it if they want to. Can’t come out—under the premise that the only monitoring channel is completely monopolized by Cecil, making this project public to the world is actually to let various countries contribute their experts in cryptography, philology and astrology, and use a lot of technology to The input of personnel is exchanged for a "participation" quota.

But this kind of thing, even if the participants can see it, no one will say it clearly.
