Chapter 48 Satellite Warning
Gao Wen focused on the picture that only he could see, and finally confirmed that what it showed was indeed the terrain within a range of about one hundred kilometers around, and that his familiar operation of adjusting the distance and distance of the perspective had failed.
The picture is limited to this range and cannot be moved or scaled.
Moreover, the original high-definition satellite view has become a vague and weird color block.
What do those colors mean? Thermal imaging? Or what other inductive imaging?
Or... a simple failure?
Gao Wen also clearly remembered the sound he heard when he was out of the high-altitude perspective state. He clearly heard words such as energy failure, host restart failed, and escape program, so the possibility of failure is extremely high. In addition, the current state of being unable to adjust the distance of the perspective angle has further deepened his guess in this regard.
And he began to extend his thinking: his soul, or spiritual body, may have mutated. Although he came to the ground and obtained a human body, his spirit obviously retained the ability to establish a connection with some "thing" in the sky. In the past few months, he has been offline, but the unexpected crystal strengthened and re-established this connection. As for the ancient device in the sky - whether it is a satellite or a space station - is still in a state of failure now, but I don't know whether it is the energy system's return to light or the host restart successfully, it has survived and is even still running. Although the surveillance screen has become an indescribable lump, this at least proves that it still exists.
In this extended way of thinking, Gao Wen had to start to worry about another thing: if the closeness between his spirit and the "satellite" in the sky was beyond imagination, and there would even be a connection similar to symbiosis and death... Then once the thing in the sky was really completely finished, wouldn't it be extremely deadly?
He knew that this possibility was not high. After all, he had completed his rebirth based on the body of Gowen Cecil, and he had clearly heard the words "escape procedure", so his spirit should have been independent, but in this issue of life and death, no small hidden danger cannot be spared!
But the thing in the sky is most likely to hang on the synchronous orbit of this planet, and he himself is now trapped in an ignorant and backward medieval kingdom. Not to mention repairing the "satellite", he can't even see it now!
In this constantly whirling thought, Gao Wen was still observing all the details of the top view. He noticed that the image was not static. In fact, those hazy color blocks were always changing slightly. Some areas would be brighter, while others would slowly darken, repeating again and again, as if they were regular, but while changing, the overall distribution and outline were maintained.
And just as Gao Wen tried to summarize the patterns of image change, things changed again.
He suddenly saw a box like a floating window appear above the image, and a line of text that kept flashing in the box seemed to be disturbed. It was a character he did not recognize at all - neither Chinese nor any of the kingdoms or races on the continent of Loren.
But when he looked at the lines in shock and seriousness, the meaning of the words was translated directly and came into his mind:
"New data, giant planet activity has been increased, and alert level has been increased to four."
The picture began to shake, layered layers of interference patterns appeared on the color blocks. Gao Wen woke up in horror, and his attention quickly shifted to the external real world. The first time such a vision switch made the scene in front of him shake for a moment before stabilizing. Then, regardless of the dizziness left in his mind, he suddenly stood up from the desk and rushed towards the door of the tent.
Amber, who had been invisible and watched for a long time, was startled and suddenly jumped out of the shadow form: "Wow!"
Gao Wen had rushed outside the tent at this moment. The two militiamen standing guard at the door looked back at him in shock. He didn't have time to pay attention, but raised his head to look at the sun hanging high in the middle of the sky.
The huge sun was slowly and majesticly moving in the sky. A halo like mist was rippling around the sun's unobtrusive sun. Everything seemed normal, but soon, strands of red on the surface of the sun gradually emerged like blood on the eyeballs.
The picture in Gao Wen's mind continued. He saw the color blocks surging in the top view that seemed to be a thermal imaging. Almost all the colors were deepening rapidly, but gradually entered a new stable state. Some things that seemed to be numerical were emerging from time to time on the edge of the picture, but they couldn't understand them at all.
He instantly realized in his mind: these colors are probably not faults, but some special monitoring mode.
Perhaps it is a much more useful monitoring mode than a direct top view!
The red lines appeared on the sun (a part of them has now evolved into patches) and finally attracted the attention of the people working in the camp. They raised their heads and discussed the changes of the sun with gestures until the supervisor shouted loudly and returned to their posts.
Hedy, who was using the mud to transform into stone to help strengthen the foundation not far away, also noticed these changes. She looked up at the sun and turned her eyes to the tent in the center of the camp. Sure enough, she saw Gao Wen who was looking at the sun with a serious face.
She ran quickly to Gao Wen: "Ancestor, it seems to be red spots again."
Gao Wen waved his hand and signaled Hetty not to say anything at first. His eyes were looking at the sun, but his attention was focused on the picture in the world of consciousness.
After a while, the red part of the sun's surface finally stopped growing, and the text above the "surveillance image" in my mind changed first, and a new line of prompts popped up: "New data, giant planets return to calm, and the warning is lifted."
The red patterns on the surface of the sun quickly faded after this, and the floating colors on the monitoring image gradually calmed down and returned to their original appearance.
However, although the monitoring image was lifted, Gao Wen's warning was difficult to lift.
A large number of new discoveries have become new clues, and a large number of clues have suddenly come out and pile up together, becoming new problems.
He had countless guesses and reasonings, some of which were even bold enough to be a little crazy, but he forced these ideas to suppress them, first regaining their calmness, and then looking for an explanation that was most likely to be close to the truth.
"Ancestor... are you okay?" Hetty looked at Gao Wen's face worriedly, "Your face is very bad..."
Amber had just slipped out of the tent, but Gao Wen's aura was full of pressure, which made the noisy and jumping half-elf dare not say anything. At this time, Hedy broke the silence and she dared to speak: "He rushed out before the red spots appeared on the sun, which scared me..."
"Herty, can you feel the magic change?" Gao Wen suddenly turned his head and looked at Hedy seriously.
"Some magic surged up just now, and it became much easier to cast spells," Hetty nodded. Magic surge was a normal phenomenon when red spots appeared on the surface of the sun - in fact, even red spots on the surface of the sun are normal, but the frequency of red spots and magic surges has indeed been higher in recent times. In addition, the disaster of Cecil's head and Gao Wen's previous warnings are still vivid in her mind, she couldn't help but feel nervous, "Do you want to..."
Hetty's face gradually paled.
"No, it's not yet at the level of monsters," Gao Wen shook his head to calm down. He made this judgment on the one hand that there was no sign of demon tide pollution from the top view, and on the other hand, it was from Gao Wen Cecil's experience. The elemental power in the air is still stable, so there will be no problem. "It's just that the red spots and magic power of the general level surge..."
"The magic surge and red spots are normal, but usually only once every three or five years," Hetty seemed worried, "but this is the second time in a few months..."
In fact, Gao Wen's worries and tension were no less weak than Hedy.
Even because he had to worry more about the contact between himself and a "surveillance satellite" in the sky, his tension was stronger at this moment.
But he also knew very well that he had now become the pillar of the entire Cecil territory, especially when Hetty and Rebecca were in front of him, and all his weakness and wavering could not be shown.
What's more, weakness and wavering cannot solve the problem at all.
"Don't worry, there will be no monsters. Besides, even if the real demon tide comes, I have experience," Gao Wen comforted his descendants, "Let everyone do their own work well - only by building a solid and stable home can we have the capital to fight against nature."
Hetty looked at Gao Wen's confident eyes and couldn't help but calm down. She bent down slightly and returned to her work.
Looking at Hedy, who used magic power to help the construction project, Gao Wen nodded slightly.
Perhaps Heti and Rebecca cannot transcend the era and class they were born in in many thoughts and insights, but they have a basis that other nobles of this era do not have.
That is, they do not think they can be separated from their leaders because of their status.
Otherwise, a standard noble lady like Hedy would not be able to go to the construction site to assist in construction with magic.
Seeing the land rapidly hardened into the foundation under the influence of magic power, Gao Wen was sighing at the convenience of magic, and also realized one thing: it might be a good idea to hire some down-and-out wild mages to help build the camp after the hardware facilities required for coins are in place.
But before that, there are more important issues that must be considered carefully.
Gao Wen turned back to the camp, sat back to the desk, and wrote down three questions on a blank piece of paper:
What is the relationship between the "sun" in the sky and the demon tide on the earth?
What is the possible role and current situation of "surveillance satellites"?
