The post-war reconstruction and economic recovery plan in full swing are underway across the continent. Although winter approaches and the temperature drops, the sentient beings in Loren seem to ignite a hot flame. From Cecil to the Elf Royal Court, from Tifeng to the west coast of the Dwarf Kingdom, all bards, newspapers, magazines, and magic network radio are constantly spreading the latest development plans, reconstruction plans and economic incentive policies.

At the same time, the shocking battle between the Dawn of the World and the Crazy Disaster was repeatedly exaggerated and constantly promoted. The amazing aerospace fortress of the Cecils seemed to be gradually becoming a symbol to become the most reassuring sharp blade and shield on the continent of Loren on the cold days to come - and all of this is just the "open part" that ordinary people in the alliance countries can access.

In the confidential field that is untouchable to the world, there are more hidden projects and amazing plans being implemented.

At the "Contract Castle" on the border between Cecil and Tifung, the original "gate" project has entered a continuous observation stage. With the disintegration of the sentry cruise ship, researchers can no longer take the spaceship to continue to perform observation tasks on the Kingdom of Gods. Previous large-scale exploration has also shrunk back into the realm of the Gods. In the Kingdom of Gods that is constantly disintegrating over time, the experts of the Theocracy Council only retained a garrison stronghold, and a small research team is responsible for conducting routine surveillance activities to record the gradual collapse of a Kingdom of Gods.

However, after the scale of the "Gate" project was greatly reduced, the Contract did not become deserted. New research projects were launched here, and new technical experts and specialized equipment were sent to this large facility. With them, there was a "Starter Energy Crystal" brought by two explorers from the Viplanton Observatory.

Since the failed "Tide Against the Tide Plan" in Tallond million years ago, mortals in this world will once again face the legacy of the Settaires and try to draw knowledge from these ancient and advanced technological creations to understand the world. This time, people will try their best to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Tide Against the Tide Empire million years ago. They will choose to contact the mysterious creations left by the Settaires in this world with a rational and dialectical attitude, rather than respecting them as gods.

Deep in the Chamberg, a laboratory with special protection was ready. Unlike the "portal hall" used to explore the Kingdom of God, this laboratory does not have so many mental protection runes and anti-divine barrier devices. Instead, it particularly strengthens the structural strength of the laboratory itself, and has a large number of anti-magic runes and precision sensing devices on the floor and walls near the central area. On the analysis platform in the center of the room, the energy crystal from the Viplanton Observatory was quietly lying on a base made of pure gold and mitral alloys. Around it, you can see the energy barrier with twinkle light and the physical crystal shield.

Carmier floated in the air near the crystal, his eyes filled with arcane glory were staring at the crystal in front of him. As an arcane creature, he could subtly feel the surging energy contained in this crystal - although it had been lost for many years, the magic power in this crystal is still so full, and it was stabilized in a state of purity and energy levels by an extremely complex lattice structure, which is no less than a certain wonder in Carmier's opinion.

Does it have some slow charging mechanism? Or is its "capacity" really amazing that it still gives people a vast and endless feeling after spending most of it?

The sound of footsteps came from the side. Carmire turned his head and saw a tall and strong red-haired old man who had walked to him at some point, and was staring at the crystal on the platform with some trance.

This old man is not a human. His true identity is actually a red dragon. As the "technical consultant" sent by Tallond to assist mankind in studying the legacy of the Settler, Mr. Calador has won the respect of Carmayer with his extensive knowledge and cultivation, and his knowledge in the field of the Settler is an urgent help for anthropologists here.

"...I never thought I would touch what they left behind again in this form one day," Red Dragon Caladol spoke with emotion in his voice, "It seems that just not long ago, this was a taboo thing..."

Carmire asked curiously: "Do they...'they' refer to the settling? The last time you mentioned that they left behind in this form meant..."

"Yes, the Settlers," Caladol nodded slightly, "The last time I came into contact with the alien races in Loren's continent was a million years ago... You have heard of this incident. They were named the "Tide-Anti-Tide Empire"... Although when I first met them, they were just a weak group full of curiosity."

Carmire's eyes lit up instantly, with surprise in his tone: "Are you a witness of the tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing tide-reversing t

"I lived quite a long time, which is probably one of the few characteristics of my tribe. Although I can't compare to the three ancient dragon leaders, I have experienced some things," Calador said with a smile. "But these ancient experiences are not special to dragons. The Tallond society was once solidified, and all positions are like parts on machines. A dragon that has experienced the ancient war is still just an ordinary employee of the Midsilan Treasure House after a million years. In my opinion, the world today is more interesting."

Listening to the old red dragon beside him sighing casually, Carmier fell into thinking, and after a moment he raised his head: "We will not repeat the mistakes of the Anti-Tide Empire."

"Tallond ordered me to come to Loren to assist you in this matter," Calador said in a serious tone as he looked at the former "disobedient" and said in a serious tone. "In fact, until now, Tallond is still nervous about what you are doing--even though we know the need to do so, it is the legacy of the sailors once again in a million years from the contact of mortal races, and it is just the beginning... Our dragons will be extra cautious in this matter, and hope you can understand."

"Is it just the beginning..." Carmier said softly as if he was talking to himself. As one of the core technical officials of the empire, he knew many confidential matters that had not been disclosed, including his Majesty Gowen Cecil about to launch the "Sky Restoration Plan". Thinking of the infinite knowledge and accompanying risks that might be revealed behind all this, his tone became extremely solemn, and his face turned blue, "Please restoration, just like you, I know the meaning of reason and prudence."

Calador nodded slightly, his eyes returned to the energy crystal. As he thought, he whispered to himself: "Have the starry sky come to his face..."

...

"The starry sky has come to your face."

In a research facility in the canopy of the giant tree in Thorin, Belltila's incarnation raised his head and looked up at the line of slogans that had just been hung on the opposite wall. Two magic technicians were standing on the ladder, firmly nailing the sign with huge letters to the wall. In other parts of the room, more technicians could be seen shuttled back and forth, busy placing equipment, debugging equipment, and sorting out information. The huge hall was filled with voices, and the eyes were full of tension and busy scenes.

This was once a "monitoring facility" affiliated to the Solin General Hub. Now, this monitoring center, which was used simply to capture alien signals, is undergoing a large-scale transformation, updated monitoring equipment, better networking conditions, newly added main brain-assisted computing interfaces, and a new group of experts and scholars who are about to settle here. When everything is in place, this place will become the highest command center of the "Star Sea Project".

The "Star Dissidents" from all over the world will establish contact with this command center through magic communication and neural networks, share all information about alien signals, and jointly solve various problems arising from communication with alien civilizations. The empire's top linguists, logicians and cryptographers will gather here to crack all the meanings that may be hidden in every single word sent by alien civilizations.

In order to support the operation of this "Star Sea Project Headquarters", the empire even directly allocated a computing center that was recently established in the eastern part of the Holy Spirit Plain to the Solin General Hub. At this moment, an engineering team was busy in the root layer of the Solin giant tree, setting up special high-speed neural nodes to prepare for the dedicated line connection of the computing center.

All of this is to deal with the upcoming era - an era of communicating with the alien civilizations among the stars.

As the slogan on the wall says, the starry sky has come to the face. Whether the sentient beings on this planet want it or not, the only thing people can do now is to be as prepared as possible.

A voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Belltila's meditation: "Ms. Belltila, the main magic network has been reset, and you can now reconnect the basal power ridge."

Belltila turned her head and saw a tall, grey hair-studded middle-aged researcher standing behind him. He was holding a file folder in his hand, and blood was faintly visible in his eyes. It seemed that he had not had a good rest and took care of himself for a long time, but his spirit was particularly sufficient, and he even had a hint of excitement.

Belltila nodded slightly, sensed the building structure somewhere under her feet, and then stretched out her fists and stood together very seriously. With her symbolic movement, a low roar immediately came from the underground of the hall, as if some large biological tissue was bent deep in the thick floor and support structure, and collided. The next second, the power ridge that was temporarily disconnected due to the transformation and upgrading of the facilities was reconnected. With the switching of energy supply, many equipment in the hall began to start driply, and the lighting also flashed a few times before turning from the backup energy state to normal.

"Thank you for your help." The middle-aged researcher nodded with a smile, and then planned to turn around and continue to be busy, but before that, Belltila called out and called him: "Bad, do you really need to take a break? Your current state is like those sleepers who claim to have a sleep for three days..."

"I? I'm in good condition - I still have the necessary sleep time," Bud Wendell looked down at himself, with a confident and fairy-filled smile on his face. "Don't worry, I used to be a druid, and I'm sure about my health problems. I really feel tired and I'll go to rest."

"I used to be a druid..." Belltila glanced at the "former subordinate" with no expression - although he is still his own subordinate now, "You were not as reliable as you are now, especially as a druid."

"Uh, it's all the past," Bud Wendell immediately touched his chin awkwardly, "The point is that now, we are doing something that is really worth the effort."

"Is it really worth the effort..." Belltila said softly thoughtfully, and she looked to the other side of the hall. The wall made of white wooden structure and layered leaves overlapping. It was as beautiful as a flower wall slowly opened in her sight, revealing the vast sky outside and the night that was slowly spreading from the end of the sky. At what point, the stars had already appeared in the darkest direction of the night. "Speaking of it, are linguists and logic experts still discussing next door?"

"Yes, they have been discussing for a whole day, and it is estimated that it will continue to be there in the evening," Bud shrugged. "His Majesty asked to draw up the text for the first exchange with the alien civilization in the shortest time. Now the experts have discussed many copies for self-introduction, expressing the will to peace, and establishing a preliminary understanding, but everyone is quarreling with each other on the most critical 'first greeting'."

"The most critical 'first greeting'?" Belltila thought for a while, then felt that his leaves were falling, so she quickly shook her head, "It's really difficult to think about it. This kind of professional problem should give experts a headache."

...

The main antenna array emitted a gentle and pleasant low tremor in standby mode. With the sound of waves coming from afar and the gentle sea breeze blowing across the deck, the deep-sea witch Hathaway felt her mood relaxing little by little. She curled her tail on a platform next to the superluminal communication array, and her upper body lies on her tail, allowing the warm and gentle sunshine in the afternoon to shine on the scales, and her body began to flatten...

But the voice of the deep-sea maid Rosalia suddenly came from the side, interrupting the process of the deep-sea witch gradually transforming into a slime monster because she was too comfortable: "Master Hathaway, the Queen ordered me to confirm the situation of the super-light communication array."

Hathaway suddenly woke up from the salted fish state. She saw the queen's close maid standing in front of her. She looked up at the communication array not far away in a standby state, and gently tapped the deck with the tip of her tail: "I have repaired the burned part of the main antenna and replaced the new component directly. Now it can be used at any time."

"Thank you for your hard work," Rosalia bowed slightly to the deep-sea witch, "so that we just need to wait for our land allies to prepare."

"On the land allies..." Hathaway shook his head gently to dispel the last bit of fatigue. "In fact, there is something I have to remind you that although the fault in the main antenna has been fixed, the source of the fault cannot be solved, and it will most likely be broken after the next use."

"I have already told the Queen about this matter, and our land allies also know this situation - at this stage, we first want to find a way to respond to the 'alien signal'. The complete repair of the communication array is something we need to consider slowly in the future," Rosalia nodded, "But then again... have you confirmed the source of the fault? Do you have a thorough repair now?"

"Core oscillation crystal cannot work efficiently. The antenna array needs to use a large amount of energy to maintain the superluminal excitation circuit, which ultimately leads to the energy accumulated in the excitation circuit breaking through the protective layer," Hathaway sighed. "Unfortunately, there is no good solution at this stage... We can now easily create all components of the superluminal communication array, but even the new components can only exert less than half of the efficiency in this weird environment, and the antenna load still cannot be reduced."
