Chapter 823 Funeral Overture

Tavel opened a holographic projection in the air and looked at the dazzling series of pictures and data that were quickly refreshed on it. He said in a less optimistic tone: "This is the conclusion obtained after many tests. Milia's information The flux is not infinite. The shadow space of the Revenge Army and the real world add up to the amount of information in the two worlds, and Milia must coordinate the information correspondence of the two worlds every minute to prevent the channel from collapsing. In this state, her designed lifespan is only forty-eight hours. Beyond this time limit, her information flow will cease... There are two reasons for the termination of her information flow. The first is her inherent functional limitations. This may be It can also be buffered by having her and Bubble online. The second is a command based on the most basic script. This command was left when Milia was put into the container. It limits the lifespan of the girl. , we have tried our best to delete this order, and even if we can, the existence of Milia is based on that order, and it is irrevocable."

Sandora frowned and didn't know what she was thinking about, and I asked a little frantically: "What do you mean? Did the Revenge Army create Milia just to make her a consumable that can only serve for forty-eight hours?! "

"Arjun, let Tavel finish." Sandora gently touched my arm and reminded me in a low voice.

Tavel nodded: "I'm afraid that's the case, Your Majesty, this is in line with the way of thinking of the old empire, because we never waste, let alone leave opportunities for the enemy. If the previous guess is true, Milia is actually The key left by the Revenge Army to their queen, that is, under normal circumstances, Milia should think like a Xiling apostle. She will unswervingly execute her preset orders, even if she is to be a consumable. . But due to various accidents, Milia only left core data. And she was raised as an ordinary human for more than ten years, so we find this difficult to accept. If everything goes according to the original plan, she should not have sane, should not even appear in a human way,

When Milia came out of the container early, she scanned the genetic structure of Zaku and Biluna out of instinct, and then simulated the human form out of a preservation plan. Until now, this has become her fixed posture. This was the conclusion reached after multiple scans of some of her deep memories. "

"In other words, if no one had resurrected the ruins, and Milia's container had not been destroyed in the war, she would actually have been saved in the form of a string of data until I returned to this world, and then I would Should this string of data be used to open a portal that lasts for two days and bring out the soldiers?" Shandora straightened out a series of events and had a vague guess about the revenge army's last plan. "Arjun, I remembered Take the example on Earth, Schrodinger's cat, the difference is that the cat determined life and death before opening the box, while Milia determined the form of life when opening the box..."

I sighed faintly: "Remember that Zaku reported that they also found a mouse in the ruins. We have to be lucky that the mouse was scared to death by Biluna in advance. Otherwise, Milia might not be able to stand upright now. Walking...

This joke must have been very cold, because neither Tavel nor Sandora laughed.

"Why forty-eight o'clock?"

I finally focused the topic on this issue that I couldn't let go of. And I still have a question: Milia's identity is the Heart of the World, but her lifespan is only forty-eight hours after she starts working. Will the world end after that? But I have figured out this question myself. The Heart of the World can jump. It is an entangled body of information. It is called the Heart of the World after it is attached to a certain actual existence. If Milia dies, the Heart of the World will immediately It will jump to another thing in this world. But at that time it had nothing to do with Milia.

"For the sake of insurance," Sandora has figured out a lot of things, "because they are not sure whether their queen will come back at all, let alone whether the first person to return to this universe will be the queen's army or the enemy. If the enemy wants to After obtaining the key, the shadow space opened the door, so the key's validity time must be short. At forty-eight hours, it was just enough for all the emperors to emerge from the shadow space, and it was also enough for them to persist until the key decomposed and the space was closed again when they were invaded. "

"After the collapse of the old empire, the Revenge Army must have been attacked by the abyss, otherwise they would not have locked themselves up in this way." Tavel nodded.

Shandora agreed, but still suggested reservations: "These are all guesses, before entering the shadow space. Any assertion is meaningless.

I said anxiously: "Now there is a more meaningful thing to consider: Can we really just watch Milia open a portal for us and lose our lives?"

I have been in contact with Xiling Apostle for so long, and I have already learned a lot about various strange life forms. I know very well what the cessation of the flow of information means for an information life like Milia. It is more complete than the death of a human being. She will leave nothing behind, disappear into ashes, and her soul will no longer exist: because the information life There is no difference at all from Linghun.

"Actually, if we act fast enough, Milia won't have to sacrifice."

Tavel said suddenly.

I was surprised: "Huh? What do you mean?"

"Milia's design life is indeed forty-eight hours, but this does not mean that we have to use up these forty-eight hours at once," Tavel said slowly, "If we can escape from the shadow within forty-seven hours and fifty-nine minutes, If the space is withdrawn, Milia will not have to die."

Sandora looked at me and looked at Tavel with a strange expression: "In other words, Milia can actually be "closed"? "

Tavel nodded.

I immediately banged my head on the table and looked up at Tavel frantically: Why are you so tragic? ! "

"Are there any subordinates?" Tavel pointed to himself inexplicably. "This subordinate is just stating the facts. This is the most basic accomplishment of a scientist.

I put my hands on my forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was scared to death. I thought that Mou was finally going to take the path of depression. So let's let Milia open the door when we enter the shadow space, and then let her rest." Wait, just wait until we have done enough damage to the shadow space before sending a signal for her to open the door and let us out, right?"

Tavel showed his less optimistic expression again: "I'm afraid it won't work. As I said before, Milia is a one-time use. She only has one switch opportunity in the design, from opening the door to the time we complete the process in the shadow space. The task will run until she finishes it. The time is forty-eight hours, and there can be no interruption in the middle. The pause button does not exist. In theory, yes, but that is the fact."

"I'm going to go! I'm about to have a nervous breakdown from the evil designs of the Revenge Army." Are they so careful! "

"We should be lucky that although there is no pause button, Milia at least has a shutdown device. Otherwise, it would be even more crazy if we have to use up all the 48 hours at once?" Sandora glanced at me faintly, "Now we have to consider The next thing is: forty-eight hours, actually only two days, what can we do?"

I was stunned and my expression became subtle.

Two days is enough for what? It's enough to do something. The impatient ones have just two days to complete everything from meeting to getting the marriage certificate, but what are we going to do?

We intend to destroy a world,

Within forty-eight hours.

Anyone who has watched the movie knows that it would take several days for the most aliens in movies and TV shows to destroy a single city of Washington. And in the end, he was very likely to be disturbed by a stupid young man. This stupid young man was probably a sophomore in high school. He had a lesbian as a partner who had to be abducted by aliens at least once or twice, or else A middle-aged uncle with a decadent career has a wife at home who is often ignored by him due to work. He is usually woken up from bed by a phone call at 4:30 every morning when he is about to meet his wife. After finishing the opening subtitles, he usually This is the first scene. Obviously, we just went too far.

What I want is that it is difficult to destroy a universe in two days. This involves such a profound and almost philosophical proposition as "what is destruction". Let us continue to use Washington as an example - Americans themselves don't feel sorry for it anyway, right? In the minds of ordinary people, Washington being bombed into ruins is considered destroyed, because that means that the homes built by humans have lost their use value. But as far as the earth is concerned, Washington is just a latitude and longitude coordinate. Blast it into honeycomb. The northern latitude will lead to blue rivers, and the west longitude will still exist, but the altitude has changed: this is not considered destruction. It would be even more fun to elevate this concept to the cosmic level1

Theoretically, as long as a space exists and the laws in this space exist, it will not be destroyed. Everything in the world, including planets, are just temporary residents who happen to be placed at a certain space coordinate. They have longer-term property rights. But no one will compensate them after the demolition, because in the eyes of the world, they still exist there.

If we want to destroy the shadow space, it's not just as simple as blowing up the celestial bodies and the Revenge Army base there.

Apostle Xiling is one of the ancestors of space technology and a veteran of law technology. They are good at hiding their base in any space level. Even if the entire universe is reduced to a pot of Taichu soup, they can still be content in it. If we want to solve the problem of the Revenge Army once and for all, the shadow space must completely disappear, including its space, time, laws, and concepts.

The last time we did this was in the Koprulu Sector, where we used a hot start to bring it down to the state before the Big Bang, and then re-created the century. That level of doomsday can obviously meet our current requirements, but I still Remember one thing: Pandora and the others took a month to prepare for World Arbitration before the hot start.

From various perspectives, the current Revenge Army will not give us a month to prepare the ultimate move, and then watch three Glory starships enter their shadow space.

"Delete a universe within forty-eight hours. Do we have the technology now? If I prepare from scratch, it won't be the few minutes of hot start."

"I did before." Sandora said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

Oh, that was the old empire era, Shandora meant, not now.

I think the Gods must have this ability, but seeing Sandora's face, I think it's better to do something else.

At this juncture, if I need help from others even to dig a grave for my former soldier, I can't accept it except Sandora.

I began to think about what I could do in forty-eight hours with my own strength. I found that I was really powerful. In such a long time, I could use the void realm to devour an area as large as a star system. The premise is that I don’t die from overexpansion. I can also open a void rift and let it slowly consume the shadow space. The corrosion was clean, but the Revenge Army might find a way to block it on their own. They thought of several plans, but none of them succeeded. In my memory, the only major victory related to the Forty-Eight Hours was that time in the second grade of junior high school. I finished all my homework in the last two days of winter vacation. It was one of the two most memorable experiences before I turned eighteen. , another experience was when I was in fifth grade, my sister took me to play in the countryside. Fatty Li and I went to steal old man Qian’s fruits, and then we were both discovered. What I was proud of at that time was that I beat Fatty Li. But unfortunately, none of us could outrun the dog guarding the garden... When I came back to my senses, I found Shandora staring at me dumbfounded. It turned out that she and Tavel had called me several times. I was embarrassed. Scratching her hair, she suddenly understood one thing: Why did that heartless girl Qian Qian fall in love with her? She is the same kind!

"Ahem, have we discussed the result?"

I asked, scratching my hair awkwardly.

Sandora nodded with a heavy face: "There is a way, but the loss may be huge, but at least it is the only feasible method with our current strength."

Tavel continued: "Your Majesty, any shadow space has a control core, because it is a world formed purely by distortion of information. It exists on the basis of "non-existence," which requires a powerful A central control system is used to ensure that this massive amount of information will not be offset by paradoxes. For example, our Shadow City is such a control core. The shadow space of the Revenge Army is so huge that it cannot be accommodated in the real world, so its control system should also be very huge. Perhaps after entering the shadow space, the first thing we scan and lock is this control core. At such a scale, it is basically impossible to hide. The huge surge of information will make any concealment method ineffective. "

"Do you want to directly destroy this core and let the shadow space collapse?" I knocked on the table. This plan... is really straightforward. I'm afraid even a child can think of it, but in fact it is not very reliable. "Have you forgotten that the Revenge Army has How much? The mothership groups they have assembled in deep space are already three times the size of our semi-regular fleet. If we want to storm their control core, the number of troops we have to face will definitely far exceed this number: we have to Defeat an enemy several times his own within forty-eight hours, and then instantly kill that control core that God knows how strong it is, even with a celestial system fleet, it can't be done, right?"

"No, it should be possible. We have the psionic Death Star." Sandora shook her head. "Its special structure can withstand very huge damage, and Tavel is confident that our coordinates will be as close to the core as possible after entering the shadow space." , the distance will not exceed twenty light years. This is the distribution of the shadow space area determined by analyzing the coordinate system recorded by Milia. The credibility is 100%. If you let it go..."

I noticed that Shandora was rarely hesitant on a topic, so I couldn't help but urge her. As a result, the other person's words made me bang my head on the table: "Arjun, if the psionic Death Star directly hits it, regardless of the target, How strong it is, even if it has law-level defense, it will be wiped out. Ninety-eight percent of the main structure of the Nether Energy Death Star is high-concentration nether energy, which is on the verge of jumping to the strength of void energy, enough to destroy the law. A level of defense.”

My forehead was dripping with sweat as I looked at the two terrifying women in front of me: "The co-authors have been discussing for so long and have come to the conclusion that we should use the entire stellar fortress to crash into it?!"

I have to admit that this is the craziest attack plan I have ever heard, and it is definitely powerful enough. The violent beauty of Pandora and Visca is really beautiful in front of this queen who started to open up territories tens of millions of years ago. It's not enough, let's see what bad idea Sandora has come up with!

I made some calculations with my fingers and found that there are two key points needed to realize this plan: First, our psionic Death Star must be able to withstand interception firepower all the way. I don’t believe that the Revenge Army will watch a stellar fortress collide with it. After destroying his own base camp, during the twenty-light-year charge, the psionic Death Star would have to withstand as much firepower as the enemy's and our own Galaxy main guns combined from the beginning of the war to the present. The second question is whether the Death Star fortress can still be used after destroying the control core of the shadow space. What it wants to hit is the core fortress of the entire universe. This is fundamentally different from the collapse of a glass ball.

Eventually I came to the conclusion that this was a bad idea filled with war-romanticism.

But what is frustrating is that Sandora has unilaterally agreed...

"Don't forget that the celestial system fleet is protected by the parsec system." Sandora comforted me on the way out of the research center to the headquarters. "If the fortress cannot bear it, we still have a chance to make an emergency pause, and then..."

"Then what?"

I stared into Sandora's bright eyes, trying to find some trace of madness in them, so that I would have a reason to persuade her to calm down, but the other person's gaze was always calm and decisive.

"I have already talked with Bingtis. Her priesthood has the authority to destroy the universe. Remember when we first met, she almost used the collapse of the universe to deal with it, right?"

A chill ran through my body, and I still vividly remembered the fighting power of that female gangster in a hysterical state.

"The most powerful thing about the Gods is not their fighting power, but their inherent authority over any world. Bingtis is particularly good at this. Her power of the Goddess of Light is not good at destruction, but her authority can. That's it. But... once this kind of authority is used, Bingtis's actions are not her personal actions. It is equivalent to the gods directly intervening in this war with their official power."

Sandora still sighed after reaching this point: "If possible, I really hope to hold this funeral for them myself, but the situation is forced, we only have 48 hours to let our best friends participate. My bottom line is down.

I was silent for a few seconds, then reached out and put Sandora's shoulders under my arm: "Well, anyway, I don't support it, but let's try our best to protect the Death Star fortress. The family's finances are still tight now..."! . ..
