Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 162: The Heralds of Terra, Tombs and Echoes (7200, large

The fragments of the source matter computing chip have been shattered. Although it is a creation of the fifth energy level, at least it is also a part of a complete creation of the fifth energy level, after a long time of destruction, it only left a mere 3 points The source of authority.

3 o'clock. To be honest, this number has indeed reached the point where it is quite ridiculous.

It goes down, it still has a little source quality, it can't be said to be a mortal thing, but it goes up, the remnant of the source quality doesn't have any power to activate its uniqueness, it's no different from a mortal thing. Just very embarrassing.

It’s no wonder that the Jin Deng family can’t figure out the use of this source quality calculation unit. It is indeed very important, but there are only three points of source quality left, and no one can restart it—even if someone really masters it If there is no way, it also needs a strong person of the fifth energy level to infuse it with authority-level source quality to recover a little bit and understand part of its functions.

But Ian is different - he is too familiar with this stuff.

Leaving aside his soul itself, a part of the similar psychic computing unit module is inscribed, and the silver chip has already explained its origin for Ian.

But therein lies the problem.

The more information presented, the more questions there will be.

The source matter computing chip can be said to be the best-understood thing. It is nothing more than a computing unit made of source matter. It is no different from the source matter computing unit in Ian's mind, except that source matter is used as a material.

The problem is, the gift of the star **** and the forerunner after that...

"The Forerunner, as the head of the Institute of Alien Species, and the owner of the first known silver chip, gathered the power of the pre-epoch civilization of Terra, tried to reproduce the "Rite of the Star God", and then gave birth to the source quality computing chip' This supercomputer, which surpassed the technological limit of Terra civilization, became the basis for the leap of Terra civilization at that time.”

Repeating the information in the silver chip in his mind, Ian chewed on its meaning: "If nothing else, the silver chip is the so-called 'Gift of the Star God'. At least it is a part of it." "The source quality computing chip, Obviously, it is the reason why the forerunners and Terra civilization can quickly analyze many fires and lay the foundation for Terra's way of sublimation-it should be the quantum computer of the Terra universe, which has source matter and psionic energy, and has ether, or It is a more advanced prop."

"Even, it can be said that as the first known creation of the fifth energy level, all the fifth energy levels of human beings in later generations may be more or less related to the source matter computing chip."

Ian still remembers that his teacher Hilliard once said that among the many materials required for the fifth energy level of the Fudo Fortress series, there are the core core of the ancient dragon, the spinal cord colloid, and the phase neural network .

Among them, the construction of the phase neural network has already started at the third energy level. Ian's current neural network is a system made of Mithril mixed with a part of Morian steel, but the phase neural network of the ancient dragon level Obviously it's not that simple. It should be reflected in the virtual world, a super-temporal organ that straddles the two worlds of virtual world and reality.

And such an organ actually has some similarities with the "spiritual calculation unit"... Ian thinks that maybe it is a combination of the spiritual calculation unit and the source quality calculation unit to construct a The 'True Ether Computational Unit' that was produced...and a neural network definitely needs more than one True Etheric Computational Unit, which is the basis of many capabilities of the fifth energy level.

As for the core, Ian already has it, so there is no need to talk about it. As for the spinal cord...Ian thinks that it may be something outrageous. After all, the spinal cord is responsible for the transmission of information between the brain signal and the body. In addition, the essence of ether transcends time and space. Ian suspects that the fifth energy The super strong may be able to achieve a certain degree of foresight per capita, and their physical instinct is a kind of predictive interface, which can directly counter the enemy's attack or even the idea of ​​attack.

This is not a wild guess, because when Hilliard and he missed the bravery of the past, they said a similar ability-he can directly know other people's assassination plans by instinct, and ambushes against his conspiracy. Instinctively knowing the enemy's attack route, the old knight thought it was a powerful spiritual state, but Ian felt that if the spiritual state reached such an outrageous level, it would definitely be a kind of psychic power.

The spinal cord jelly is the carrier of their spiritual energy. Thought collection

Back.

The source quality computing chip in front of Ian has been damaged, has no functional modules, and is separated from the core body... But this proves that there is at least a mostly complete chip in the Xenomorph Research Institute Ontology exists.

And it may be the source of Terra's way of sublimation, the development of many super technologies!

"Anfa, where did you find it from the Alien Research Institute?"

Ian looked at the elf girl with scorching eyes. Anfa in a gown sighed, shook his head and said, "I haven't even opened this box yet, and I haven't even introduced it to you, but you seem to already know the box." A lot of information about the things inside... It seems that the prophet is not only true, Ian, your prophetic power is also extremely powerful."

Calm down, Anfa collected her thoughts, she said slowly: "This unknown strange object originated from a 'private exploration' of the Alien Research Institute by our Jindeng Department."

"Before the joint exploration team of Canaan Moore and the Empire discovered that the underground ruins next to the Half Moon Lake were the Institute of Alien Species, the exploration of this ruins was not restricted. Many private exploration operations are also the practice of Canaan Moore. After all, this relic group was discovered by our family, and the Speaker of Yafoda is our in-law. Therefore, the Canaan Moore Great Council turned a blind eye to this. .”

"I also participated in several explorations at that time, and successfully broke through the third layer of the ruins with the dragon blood on my body, and entered the depths of the Alien Research Institute...but it was only the last part of the third layer. Outside. If you want to fully open the deep channel of the Alien Research Institute, you need multiple high-purity dragon blood, or even a real dragon to open it."

"Even so, with the assistance of the family team, I opened a hall on the third floor—but that hall has been completely destroyed by an extremely ancient explosion, and it has completely become a passageway. To the deepest abyss, the depth of the abyss is more than seven kilometers, the temperature is extremely high, and there are extremely powerful spiritual reactions and subspace physical barriers inside, which surpassed our detection limit at that time."

"And I found this strange thing at the edge of the abyss."

So saying, Anfa opened the box in his hand.

It is not accurate to say that it was opened, because the box in the girl's hand was actually disassembled - it was originally a sealed box composed of hundreds of different metal modules, which were sealed by the fusion of the spiritual field. Under the control of Anfa, all its parts swelled out of their positions, and while maintaining a barrier sufficient to block the psionic induction of high-level powerhouses, it showed Ian the things stored inside.

What appeared in front of Ian was a red spiral galaxy.

Is it a spinning top? Or the structure of DNA? It is difficult to describe its specific shape vividly... At first glance, the fragments of the source matter computing chip actually look like a deformed miniature galaxy, but its multiple cantilevers all present a spiral staggered up and down. Slowly levitate in the psionic field.

It's very similar. This was Ian's first thought. No matter how strange the shape of the source computing chip is, the dots of starlight and patterns flowing on its surface are exactly the same as the silver chip he took over from Mr. Hilliard that year—although after the silver chip was integrated into his body, Yi En never saw the original form of the silver chip again, but the memory was too deep for him to forget.

If it was just suspicion and speculation before, it is now certain that the forerunner did imitate the computing chip using the silver chip as a template.

The silver chip is the gift of the Star God. And the gift of the star god...the star god..."Is it the creator?"

Ian stared intently at the computing chip in front of him, but his thoughts drifted to an extremely distant place: "The Star God is the creator of the real dragon... just by name, it is not Strangely, the creators of the true dragons are enough to call themselves gods, and their power to collect fire seeds across many galaxies, and even their deep connection with the ether, allow them to call themselves the gods of the stars.”

"And the gift of the star god, maybe it was a gift given to him by the creator in order to encourage the forerunner to become a forerunner?"

Based on the information currently known, Ian can infer a lot of things.

"The forerunners created a way of sublimation for the Terra civilization by virtue of the technology of many kinds of fire, and received the silver chip as a gift from the star god, and then with the help of the silver chip, they also imitated the silver chip. For the first time, a creation of the fifth energy level was created."

"But here comes the problem."

"The Star Gods are also the creators. They crashed in an attack. The spaceship crashed into the Gazing Moon, and fell on Terra after penetrating the Gazing Moon-this caused a catastrophe. Destroyed the pre-epoch civilization."

"This can explain why the silver chip came to Terra earlier than the disaster from the sky, and it can also explain that the pre-epoch civilization seems to have been connected with the creator and the real dragon long ago."

"Similarly, this can even explain why the real dragon signed a contract with the civilization of the pre-epoch—because the civilization of the pre-epoch was obviously favored by the star gods, and even gave gifts to potential civilizations. Creation, true dragons naturally look at Terra civilization differently."

"Derived from it, the real dragon and the Terra people of the pre-epoch civilization fought against the disaster of the sky, and many wars in the lost era. The real dragon even helped some humans get their power, This is also the original origin of the true dragon blood in the true form of the blood... and it is also the reason why there may be dragon blood in the human body of Terra today."

In summary, Ian has a clear outline of the relationship between the pre-epoch civilization of Terra, the true dragon and the star god.

Besides, the reason why the Alien Species Research Institute chose dragon's blood as the entry and exit certificate is much more understandable.

In order to study the creations of the fifth energy level belonging to the Terra civilization, the forerunners absolutely could not give up the super life that was born to reach the fifth energy level, the real dragon. Their blood is a kind of authority of the Institute of Alien Species, so after the collapse of the pre-epoch civilization, this ancient ruin can still be opened.

Of course, this may not be correct, but if it makes sense, Ian will not think too much about it.

"...Anfa, what do you want me to see?"

Raising his head, Ian was silent for a while, and then said to the elf girl: "There are some things, as a prophet, it is difficult for me to explain clearly to you...but if you put forward a clear demand, I will be much more relaxed. Select the desired possibility from many chaotic scenes.”

What you said is actually very unreasonable. To put it simply, I know a lot of things but I can’t tell you about some things. You ask a question yourself, and I will answer it for you alone.’ Most people will definitely get angry when they hear this kind of answer , It is simply fooling people as idiots.

But because the person who said this is a prophet, and the questions Ian can answer are things that cannot be answered through ordinary channels, so instead of being angry, Anfa smiled happily: "I just Knowing that you can definitely see something - I think "

The girl with green hair and blond eyes narrowed her eyes, she thought carefully, and then said: "We want to know how important this strange thing is in the Alien Species Research Institute. If possible, we also want to know its details function, and why it breaks."

Essence. origin. and the cause of the change. This is the core of Anfa's problem. She wants to know how precious this strange object is, why it is so precious, and what happened in the Institute of Alien Species, so that this precious thing was broken into what it is today.

"The highest level. It is an extremely powerful computing core, some kind of computing chip, the most important computing tool of pre-era civilizations. The elves with crystal plate terminals should easily understand its concept. I think that Terra now There is basically no existence in civilization that can surpass it, of course, it is the full version. As for why..."

Ian narrowed his eyes. He actually didn't know why the source quality computing chip was destroyed, so he pondered for a while, and said directly: "I have to touch it with my own hands to see."

Ian said this, of course, not to use the silver chip to prostitute the structure of the source quality calculation chip - well, there may be a part of the reason - but in essence, Ian intends to use his ability to "backtrack the horizon" , Look at the source of the deepest emotions contained in the computing chip, look at the memories lodged on it.

As a fragment of the creation of the fifth energy level, there must be countless people's expectations and emotional sustenance on the computing chip, even if you can't see it

In the scene of its destruction, Ian can at least get more information about the Xenomorph Research Institute and even the 'Forerunner' and 'Star God'. "Do you touch it with your own hands...."

Anfa hesitated for a while. As the princess of the Jindeng family, and the only child of the current owner, the dragon blood elf, of course she has the authority to let Ian touch the computing chip.

But at the risk of letting outsiders get in touch.--No.

—Ian is not an outsider.

Thinking of this, Anfa suddenly realized——Ian is a member of the Dragon Worship Cult, a lord invested by her, and if he can escape the priest but not the temple, so what if Ian really broke the computing chip? Isn't that better?

The guilt and favor of being able to use an ancient strange object that is obviously damaged and whose general usefulness has been seen to be exchanged for a strong man with a promising future who can obviously become the fourth energy level... oh, now I have to add one more Prophet - isn't this profitable? This is simply too profitable, which is in line with Anfa's imagination of investment.

Thinking about it this way, Anfa even expected that Ian would destroy the computing chip. With such thoughts in mind, she reached out her hand generously and touched Ian's palm.

Then, a bit of purple-golden light flickered.

Under the sublimator's control over the body, a drop of Anfa's blood dripped on Ian's palm, and the purple-gold blood bead was as bright as a precious gemstone. The elf girl signaled Ian to smear the drop of blood on his palm: " In this way, your hand will be regarded as a part of my body, and you can temporarily cross the spiritual energy barrier and touch strange things."

"OK."

If it was Ian in normal times, he would definitely be able to understand the thoughts that flashed between Anfa's hesitation and his subsequent free and easy in an instant, and teased Anfa, "Do you wish I could destroy this strange thing?" '—But because he was too curious about the computing chip, he directly manipulated the source quality to evaporate Anfa's blood and cover the surface of his right hand without any hesitation.

He stretched out his hand, crossed the spiritual energy barrier without hesitation, and touched the red galaxy held by Anfato in the palm of his other hand. And the moment Ian touched the computing chip.

Endless lights and shadows flooded the boy's field of vision.

This is a laboratory shining with many colors. It is huge and vast, filled with all kinds of advanced instruments. A schematic diagram of the skeleton and organ functions of a real dragon is hung in the center of the laboratory. There are many powerful and unique anatomical diagrams of super life forms. If future generations see them, they will know that those creatures are powerful monsters that are called "ancient dragons" in the nations of Terra today, super life forms that can be called as real dragons.

The laboratory is filled with powerful psychic fields, and the gleaming inscription patterns create the most pure and flawless space in the world. This is the environment that any scientific researcher dreams of. The old man who almost lost his human form was sitting in the center of the laboratory. He silently stared at the crystal plate in front of him. The waterfall of data flowing rapidly in the crystal plate was reflected in his eyes, but his expression could not be moved in the slightest. "No."

After a long time, the old man with so many wrinkles that he couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes were still bright said softly: "I will die. I will die no matter what. I lost the complete life support project and the most professional doctor Assisting in life-extending surgery, the way of sublimation will definitely burn life, allowing us to transform from immortal mortals into powerful but mortal superhumans.”

"Haha, how ridiculous, the road I developed for the sublimation of human beings has finally become a life-threatening talisman...but we have to drink the poison, because the Star God was defeated and many fires were out of control, we This power is needed to deal with the catastrophe of a thousand stars."

"Toxic death and extinction, going to the doomsday and being wiped out by the fire of other civilizations, and becoming the nutrients of other civilizations... I would rather the people of Terra bury themselves."

Until this time, the old man's ecology was still confident and arrogant. When he talked about the fire seeds of other civilizations, he had an attitude of overlooking them. He believed that his own civilization was higher than other civilizations. He believed that his race was far stronger than those aliens. The nutrients and tools of civilization, everything is the firewood for Terra civilization to burn.

It is so arrogant, so arrogant, so dazzling, just like the forerunner, holding up the torch and leading

All those who are lost move forward, walking in the dark wilderness with no way forward.

It’s not like this in nature, but only the bright existence like the sun, which has no second in the sky, can capture everyone’s attention and become the “pioneer” that everyone yearns for.

At least, the forerunners of the Terrans.

But the next moment, the old man hugged his head and muttered to himself like a schizophrenic: "But I can't die... I can die, but my wisdom... the star **** Gifts... the gifts of the children of the sun, those inspirations, those keys, those subtle perceptions that cannot be recorded in words and written words, those plans that are so crazy that I dare not leave words, the possibility of the follow-up of the road to ascension. ...""

"They cannot be dragged down by my tiny life, they must be passed on...Our civilization must take over all the legacy of me and the alliance...but..."

He hit the experimental table with his head in pain, but it was not the old man's head that was damaged, but the extremely strong steel experimental table: "But they can't do it—damn it! Why! Why can't they learn?" Yes!"

The voice of the old man was full of panic and fear. He was not only afraid of his own death, but a kind of fear from the heart.

It's like never being able to eat a lost delicacy again. It was like never being able to see a landscape that was about to be destroyed.

It's like never seeing one of your closest friends and lovers again.

Like a prophet, who already knew the doomed ending, but found in despair that it would never be possible to change this fate.

It's so scared, it's so desperate.

As far as the old man is concerned, what he fears the most is not these.

There is only one thing that he fears the most.

——No one can learn the knowledge he has mastered. This is the greatest tragedy of scholars.

If it is a complete Terra civilization, it must be able to inherit the old man's thoughts. One genius is not enough, there are ten geniuses. One hundred geniuses are not enough, the whole world can cultivate ten thousand talents.

A genius beyond the times can lead an entire project, and even a leap forward of an entire civilization, but only with the support of millions or even hundreds of millions of practitioners and related technical personnel in a civilization, can it surpass the times A genius can perfectly realize his talent.

And he can also believe that everything he has developed will be perfectly inherited and become the "creation of civilization" that can be seen everywhere in the hands of all people in the future.

Even, under the transformation of other super geniuses, talents and practitioners, his original ideas will glow with vitality far beyond his imagination.

The same is true of those complex and expensive computers in the past, and the same is true of those thick and bulky communication terminals-they have become more compact, more powerful and more efficient with the passage of time and the perfection of countless people .

The old man absolutely believed that the civilization of the past had the ability to do it.

But... Skyfall came.

The skyfall destroyed the most important assets and confidence of the civilization of the entire pre-epoch—the more than ten billion highly educated population, technological equipment and industrial production chains all over the world. That inconceivable ether impact even penetrated the virtual world and reality, completely destroying all the storage devices below the sixth ladder.

Impossible. There are only a few survivors in the entire research institute, and the others are intelligent mechanical servants. Few of them can understand his thoughts. They cannot be left here, but will be sent out of the research institute through ether armor in the near future. Other shelters with a large population impart their latest knowledge of the way of sublimation to fight against the alien monsters awakening in the dark.

Humanity needs the minds of these cutting-edge researchers to ignite the lights in the dark. In this post-apocalyptic era where civilization is destroyed, they can no longer continue to explore further roads, so they can only stop at the side of the village to light the torch. To preserve a little spark of the past in the darkness of ignorance.

However

"I can't even do this..."

The old man buried his head between his arms, he lowered his head in despair

groaning, big drops of tears dripped from his eyes, staining his clothes and beard: "I'm going to die... how can I die. Human beings need me, and I haven't even found a way to die." The method to transfer the gift of the star god!"

"There is no way to keep this most precious wealth. It is obviously the key left by the Star God to all Terrans to achieve the ultimate promotion, and it is the basis for the ascension of civilization...how can I take it Die?!"

"What should I do?"

Ian stood silently behind the old man, because looking back, the white-haired boy felt the old man's fear, despair and loss.

Especially the deep loneliness.

As a researcher of the highest level of civilization in the pre-epoch, as a genius who transcended the era and civilization, he has been recognized by a super civilization that can be called a god, and he has received their gifts—that is, he is so loved by God The wise man is a pioneer who seems to be separated from others by a world, and the "pioneer" is of course lonely.

His disciples, students, and promising successors all died in the catastrophe. The civilization and race that he devoted himself to were also on the verge of destruction, and the forerunner himself would also face death.

His cries and tears are not solely for himself...but for the 'Tara Civilization' he represents.

He deeply knew that after his death, the civilization of Terra would become the Civilization of Pre-Era Terra. For the Terra civilization of the later generations, although the previous era was advanced and created a brilliant civilization, they did not survive the disaster after all. Those bones were their ancestors, but they were not theirs.

It's just...—a group of echoes that linger among the ruins and relics, echoing in the emptiness and history'.

"Echo!"

At this moment, the old man suddenly raised his head, tears were still flowing between his wrinkles, but he was no longer sad.

A kind of fire ignited in the eyes of the old man, and the flames like the sun lit up in the eyes that had turned into metallic iron gray: "Yes - there is an echo!"

"Even if I am going to die, Terra civilization is destined to be buried in the grave, but at the end..."

"We can at least leave an echo!"

——Even if I can’t live forever, even if I can’t leave my soul, even if I can’t reproduce everything about myself in words and data...but I can at least leave an echo, and leave that person who is similar to me , but after all different fakes!

——Although it is false, it is different, and it has shortcomings. But it is better than forgetting, better than lost, better than being buried in the grave!

At this moment, Ian also opened his eyes slightly.

He stared in shock at the phantom in the ancient history before him, repeating the words spoken by the other party.

"Echo?!"
