Chapter 1590: The Eve of Dawn

"All data has been sent, and the super-light communication array is turned into standby state."

The sound of Bell Tira came from the magic net terminal on the desk. Gao Wen did not breathe a sigh of relief until this time. He leaned back on the wide backrest chair to relax his spirit a little bit.

Outside the window, the night was already low, and the bright stars were gradually emerging from the dark sky. In the direction of the city, street lights had been lit, and the artificial lights were connecting one after another to a long and twinkling river. The light of the magic car was driving at night was flowing through these rivers. The magic crystal stone lamps in the study dispelled the night that seeped in through the window. The heat of summer was gradually fading away. The slightly cold night wind blew in through the window, relaxing Gao Wen's body and mind.

It took him a little while before he heard Belltila's voice coming from the Magic Net terminal: "Brother Gao Wen, I just received the message from the Talash Plain. Ophelia Matrix has inputted another set of data sent by the Neuyan into the parent star barrier control array. The relevant solution process has begun. It is expected that it will take three to six days to complete the solution - because the amount of data is very large, Ophelia Matrix will personally supervise the solution process."

"Well, Veronica has submitted a leave application to me today. She said she needs to focus most of her energy on the home star barrier control center," Gao Wen nodded slightly, "How is your situation? Continuous large-scale data transmission, the load on the Solin Computing Center should be quite high, right?"

"I'm dissipating heat - to be honest, the pressure is really great, and my brain is boiling... I may need to find a few forest rangers to help put a few frost stars in my brain to feel better," Belltira's face on the communication screen was expressionless, and her tone was stern, as if she didn't realize that what she said was too weird in all aspects. "But it's better than putting the pressure of data processing on Anta Vienne. At least my computing units can be mass-produced, and Anta Vienne's super-light speed communication array is the only set."

"...You have worked hard," Gao Wen's lips trembled. He finally maintained his image as a "calm and reliable good brother". Then he was silent for a moment before speaking with a hint of emotion, "The next time is to wait for the day of fate to reveal. We and Noyi have done everything we can do, including all the preparations and plans... Belltila, the next time we contact Noyi, it should be the last time."

"It's the 'last time before the arrival of the demon tide,' Brother Gao Wen," Bell Tirana's face without expression tried to show a stiff smile. "We have made an agreement with the witch lady to report safety to each other after the demon tide is over."

"...Yes, it was the last time before the Demon Tide arrived. My statement was not rigorous enough," Gao Wen laughed, and then his expression gradually became serious again. He stared at Bell Tira's eyes on the communication interface and slowly opened his mouth, "Are you ready? I mean..."

"I understand what you mean, and all preparations are ready," Belltila nodded slightly. "The energy required for the dormant period is stored inside the Solin tree. Some synthetic brains have completed cognitive adjustments and can be transferred to dormant at any time. The embryo bank and deep bunker in the root layer are also in place. If that day really comes, I will faithfully fulfill my promise to you and survive at all costs until the successor starts again on this land."

Gao Wen nodded slightly, but did not speak again. He was just silent and thought quietly under the night and light. Then he let out a gentle breath and looked at Belltila in the holographic projection. But before he was about to say something, Belltila interrupted him first: "No need to say anything more. Brother Gao Wen, everything he should say has been said, right? And personally... this is not a heavy burden."

While speaking, she seemed to be trapped in memories. After a moment of thinking, she spoke quietly in an exclaimed tone: "Think carefully, I have indeed experienced a lot of things... For centuries, I was the druid priestess on the border of Gondor and the priest leader of the Eastern Expeditionary Force. Some people call me the saint among the pioneers, and some people call me the princess of Tifeng. I also fell into darkness and became a fearful dark believer in fanaticism and paranoia. Now I have turned into a plant, protecting a place of water and soil. At this moment, hundreds of thousands of people live under my canopy, and countless birds and beasts build nests between my vines and branches... Destiny is really incredible, right? Brother Gao Wen.

"You said, if the barrier of the mother star really failed, what would the successor who rose again from this land call me? A magnificent tree from the civilization of the previous era, a living relics that remember countless ancient times and knowledge, and nagging to the world, perhaps many people would gather at my feet, and even become a new race under the Thorin giant tree. In the culture and cognition of that race... what should the Thorin giant tree be called?"

Gao Wen couldn't help but be inspired by the situation described by Bell Tira. Although it was a future that everyone was avoiding, the scene inevitably made his thoughts fluctuate. He leaned on the backrest chair and was in a daze for several seconds before subconsciously muttering softly: "It sounds like it is suitable to be an epic and fantasy game main city..."

Belltila: "…I didn't understand."

"I mean, Philm may be interested in filming an epic fantasy drama with this theme," Gao Wen waved his hand with a smile. "I didn't think about this before. Now, looking at your life is probably not enough to support a group of playwrights... and even support them three generations."

"Ah, then I'm really looking forward to it," said Belltila with a smile. "Maybe after this magic tide is over, we can find Mr. Firm to create such a magic drama? The fantasy drama of the post-apocalypse era... This is an idea that no one has ever thought of."

As she said that, she shook her head again: "But now I have more important things - I really have to find a few assistants to help put a few Frost Stars in my brain. There is a servo brain that seems to be really boiling..."

When Gao Wen heard this, he waved his hand immediately, with a laughing and crying expression on his face: "Go quickly and go quickly - the brain is full of energy and can you chat with me for so long."

Belltila's figure disappeared into the communication screen, and Gao Wen breathed a long sigh of relief. He got up from behind the desk and came to the window, allowing the cool night wind to soothe his nerves, but this time he couldn't relax for too long - a rhythmic sound of footsteps suddenly sounded from the direction of the corridor, and then a knock on the door came from the door of the study.

Walking upright in the corridor + coming in through the door + knocking on the door in advance, of course, this movement could not be Amber - Hedy's voice came into Gao Wen's ears: "Ancestor, are you inside?"

Gao Wen immediately calmed down his expression and turned to look at the door: "Come in."

The thick wooden door was then pushed open. Hetty, who was wearing a regular suit, pushed the door and walked in. She first glanced at the Magic Net terminal on the table, which was already in standby mode, and then bowed slightly to Gao Wen: "Ancestor, Rebecca is back."

"Rebecca... the rally that disobeyed the courtyard has ended?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "It's a little earlier than expected. Is there smoother?"

"Everything goes well, the final handover and plan adjustments have been completed. According to the plan, the disobedient gathering venue will be closed after today. The focus of the monitoring of the Theocratic Council will turn to the church headquarters in various regions. Subsequent sacrifice ceremonies of the alliance countries will also be carried out according to the schedule - until the mother star barrier is started," Hetty reported with a serious look, but then his expression was a little strange, "but there is a bit of an unexpected situation on Rebecca."

Gao Wen felt his heart beating tighter when he heard this: "Why was she surprised?... This was the last gathering. Could it be that she burned Amon's golden oak tree with a torch?"

"...She brought back a lot of gifts from the gathering venue, saying that it was the graduation memorial left by the gods to her," Hetty's expression was a little muted. "Three big trucks were pulled back, and they were already unloaded in the back garden at this time. Ms. Enya is helping to check for any residual pollution. Rebecca dares not come to see you, for fear that you will say she accepts academic bribes..."

Gao Wen: “…Is the word academic bribery used here?”

Hetty sighed and pressed his hands on his temple: "She took the graduation commemoration and took back the handrail of the God of the Mountains and Forests. Do you still care about the wrong words and sentences she made?"

Gao Wen: "…"

At the same time, deep in the Tarash Plain, at the edge of the deep blue well impact crater under the starry sky, countless high-power magic crystal stone lamps were clustered around a large building standing under the starry sky. The building was brightly lit inside and outside, and its rigid straight lines were like sharp blades pointing to the sky under the illumination of the project spotlights. The main body was composed of a towering main building, surrounded by four hexagonal prisms. In the most conspicuous position on the front of the main building, you can see a huge curtain hanging from above, and the text on the curtain was particularly clear under the light: celebrating the successful completion of the main control building of the Main Star Barrier Control Center.

In order to maximize efficiency and shorten the construction period, this magnificent building has basically no external decoration except for its huge scale. In addition, prefabricated structures and engineering magic assistance are used extensively during the construction process. It even has a part of the building frames that carry equipment that are welded in the factory and are directly sent to the Talash Plain for assembly by a huge anti-gravity carrier platform. This construction method of extreme pressing construction period under the premise of ensuring quality has an astonishing cost, and the final product is absolutely not related to "beautiful" and "exquisite". But from another perspective, this rough and towering building has another aesthetic.

It stands like a stubborn stone, facing the starry sky with unmatched rough and hard lines, as if it is showing some kind of power and a fearless attitude - and inside such a rough building, there is the crystallization of the world's most cutting-edge technology and the engineering creation created by the most intelligent and courageous mortals on this planet.

In the main control building of the control center, a huge column with an alloy shell and an extremely complex internal structure runs through more than half of the floors. There are countless neural lines extending around the column, connecting the computing nodes, exchange arrays and energy groups everywhere. At the root of the alloy column, there is a wide hall on the third floor of the underground floor of the building, which is the "nerve center" of the entire main control center and the key to establishing connections between the "sky part" and the "earth part" of the parent star barrier.

One of the "doll incarnations" directly controlled by Ophelia is standing quietly in this "foundation hall", staring at the mental hub that is running low in front of her. The lights on the surface of the pillar are flashing, and the constant low buzzing sound from inside shows that it is processing huge data throughput. In the places invisible, Ophelia can directly sense that there are several communication lines extending from the deep underground of the Deep Blue Well connected to the compatible array at the bottom of the mental hub - those communication lines are essentially an extension of Ophelia's matrix, and can even be regarded as part of herself.

Although the building was just completed yesterday, many of its core equipment had actually started to operate a few days ago, and even worked on it while working. In the face of life and death, everything must be given to pragmatism, as long as it is useful and safe, Ophelia does not pay attention to any "complete celebration" activities outside.

"The deep blue network controls the node response...good, the planetary shield is in a state to be activated, and the communication with the Cangqiong Station is tested...normal, the data broadcast channel is unobstructed, and the key key is being solved..."

Data flowed rapidly in the thinking thread, and there was no expression on the "doll incarnation" controlled by Ophelia. Although many people had already begun to celebrate the completion of this building on the surface, many people were happy about the smooth acquisition of key keys and the achievements at this stage, but as an ancient intelligence that could think like a mechanical thing, she knew very well that it was not the time to completely relax.

The parent star barrier consists of two key "elements". Part of it is the "planetary shield" as the barrier body. The essence of this shield is to release the deep blue network channels inside the planet through frequency regulation and release, and project into space in the form of a shield. It is to switch the deep blue network channels originally located in the celestial body to "extra-body operation". This part of the control depends on the rune stones in the deep blue network channels. Specifically at the execution level, it is the Ophelia matrix deep underground of the Deep Blue Well to take over directly;

Another part of the parent star barrier is the "inverse-anti-divine barrier" projected by the planetary shield as a carrier, or according to the Noi people, it is called the "mental unity field". This is a huge data projection system, and the key to the "mother star barrier control center", and the key to the effectiveness of this mental unity is the "key" that has not yet been completed in the solution.

Now the solution to the key has not been completed, and the renovation project of the Sky Station in Space has not been completed - although they are all going smoothly, and some have even come to the end, as long as the final result has not been determined, the Ophelia matrix will always run alertly.

Because this is not only her responsibility, but also her commitment.

Deep under the deep blue well, the huge Ophelia matrix was running at high speed, and a low buzz echoed throughout the hall. Another "doll incarnation" controlled by the Ophelia matrix slowly walked between server nodes. She came to the platform in the center of the hall, and the ancient Norton royal descendant who was sealed in a crystal container was quietly lying in the container.

Like many times in the past many years, Ophelia Matrix is ​​staring at the "creator" who lies on the platform, who looks exactly like her now. She feels the entire Loren League, the Sky Station in space, and the data from another planet four light years away surges in her computing nodes, and a smile gradually appears on her face.
