    Sir Scott Planting, the director of the Verplanton Observatory and the last director of the observatory - Gawain was no stranger to this name. He had heard about this ancient man from Diana.  A few words from the people of Gondor, and knowing that it was Sir Scott who ordered Diana, then an observatory guard, to leave her post at the last moment and flee north. In the heart of this iron soldier with fragmented memories, Scott  The image of Sir Planting must be one of the few most profound things.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible for her to admit the wrong person at this time.

    Gawain's heart moved, and he subconsciously took two steps closer to the phantom - on the one hand, to confirm the appearance of the phantom, and on the other hand, to get close to protect Diana. After all, this phantom has existed here for countless years.  It¡¯s unknown what state his spirit is in. When Kamel was first discovered, there was a chaotic stage of indiscriminate attacks.

    And just as Gawain approached, there was a new change in the hazy light. The tall and faceless figure in the center of the light seemed to wake up from stillness, and a slightly cold and mechanical voice came from it.  : "It was recognized that the door was openedthe preset contact person was recognizedsenior guard Dianaentered the setting process and started playing the recorded data."

    After the words fell, the hazy light shrank again, and the figure in the center of the light became clearer than before. The illusion of Sir Scott Planting stood there, but his eyes did not fall on anyone. He looked directly at  Ahead, looking past Diana, as if looking at a target that no longer exists here: "Diana, long time no see I don't know how much time has passed outside when you see this record, but  Since you can see it, it means you are really back here - among the several possibilities that Alphonse and I hypothesized, the biggest miracle happened, you opened the door to the observatory"

    "This is just a video record," Amber reacted and muttered in a low voice, "I thought it was the same as Kamel back then"

    Diana seemed not to hear Amber's whisper. She just stared at the illusion in front of her and subconsciously whispered: "Sir Scott"

    But she didn¡¯t say any more, because this was just an image data left a long time ago, and it would not respond to her own words¡ªthe real Sir Scott may have left this world for many years.

    She just wants to know what kind of information her former master left for her here, and whether this information is related to the memories she lost due to the malfunction.

    After a moment, Sir Scott's vision indeed broke the silence. He stared straight ahead and spoke calmly as if reminiscing: "You should be surprised that after the disaster, there are still people in this observatory who survived Facts  This was beyond my expectation. An ancient artifact, which happened to be stored in the upper storage room of the observatory at that time, miraculously offset the terrible energy surge. Although it only offset part of it, it allowed the observatory to  A few of them survived.

    "That artifact is part of the Viplanton meteorite rain in the past, which is what the world calls 'extraterrestrial objects.' Unfortunately, mortal wisdom seems to be still not enough to decipher its mystery. Alphonse and I have studied here for several  Years ago, we still haven¡¯t figured out its operating mechanism and control method. The only thing we can do is to guide the huge energy it continuously releases, and cooperate with our only wisdom to build a small little one in this terrible purgatory.  shelter and survive as long as possible

    "Now that thing is placed in the center of the entire shelter. You will see it later. When you see this message, we obviously no longer need it - I don't know what the situation is outside now, Dadi  Has it been cured? Has the order of civilization been reestablished? This answer seems to have no meaning to me anymore, but now that you are back here, I hope everything has improved

    ¡°Diana, when I decided to leave this message, twenty years had passed since the disaster broke out.

    "At the beginning of the disaster, six people in the observatory survived, but Mark and Messina only lasted less than a month. They were eroded by the fatal magic power and their bodies were severely mutated. We had to end their suffering early. You  Leven died in the second year. He failed to survive the transformation ceremony, and as a flesh and blood body, he could not survive in this predicament. Byrlo was the one who persisted longer among us, he even persisted until three  Years ago. Now Alphonse and I are the only ones left here. We have transformed ourselves into magical flesh puppets many years ago, so that we can continue to move until the material that makes up our bodies decays.  Go down. You know, the Empire strictly prohibits this evil magic - but what does it matter now?"Quasi Language" identifies itself to every civilization that has the ability to receive signals, and that it is an intelligent civilization that can think logically and use mathematical language"

    Immediately afterwards, Sir Scott raised his other hand, and a larger amount of more complex information was condensed in the light curtain on the other side of him. They were characters with exquisite structures, which were completely  It is different from any kind of writing on the continent of Loren.

    "These are their words, a 'letter' sent by them in an attempt to communicate with other civilizations. Of course, we were already aware of this possibility when we first received this part of the signal and successfully converted it into graphics.  , but for a long time, we didn't know how to decipher an 'alphabet' from a stranger out of thin air. Coupled with the large number of observation tasks undertaken by the observatory, the research work on 'aliens', and the presence of the imperial capital  With the tightening of investment and the withdrawal of talents in various research fields in recent years, we have never had enough energy to pay attention to these mysterious alien symbols, but now, we have so much time, Maester Alphonse and I finally found out in those numbers  The secret of these words was revealed in the huge surveillance records

    "They come with their own 'explanations' - in the signals of those mathematical figures, the sending and ending of each geometric figure has a 'stamp', which is used to correspond to a text description, those basic mathematical symbols, numbers and operations  There are also corresponding annotation methods. In addition, these words themselves actually have a certain degree of "self-explanation". As long as enough samples are accumulated and given a long enough time, an excellent linguist can slowly deduce  Their possible meanings The combination of these two methods is enough to decipher half of the information and slowly deduce the other half

    ¡°I am not an excellent linguist, but Barlow is. He completed 70% of the cracking, and after he died, Alphonse and I completed the remaining work

    "But unfortunately, even if we decipher these words from alien stars, we don't know how to establish contact with the civilization that sent the message - we don't understand the principle of signals being transmitted among the stars, and with the current limitations of the observatory  The only thing Alphonse and I can determine about its function is that the signal has already undergone a 'secondary evolution' when it was transmitted to our planet.

    "This process is very complicated to explain. To understand it in a simple way, it is that a certain high-level, high-speed energy fluctuation reaches our planet across the vast sea of ????stars, and reacts with the magical environment of our planet. After the reaction,  The fluctuations released are the information recorded by the observatory's listening system. This transmission method may be deliberately taking into account the 'receiving capabilities' of low-level civilizations, because low-level civilizations like ours may not be able to capture this signal.  'Original pulse', and correspondingly, it is extremely difficult to launch such a signal that can travel quickly among the stars

    "Of course, judging from the current situation, it is meaningless even if we know the principle of transmitting signals - most of the functions of the observatory have been shut down, and outside the observatory there is only a terrifying purgatory twisted in chaotic magic. We have tried to contact other  We tried our best to protect the site and tried to explore farther places, but all in vain. There was no response and no survivors We confirmed the collapse of the civilized world. In this situation, the knowledge we have  ¡­I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s meaningless.

    "But Alphonse and I still maintain hope, because we are sure that you will escape safely and will definitely come back here with new companions one day in the future, and during one of the explorations, we were still in Viplan  Traces of personnel residence and violent demolition of facilities were found in Warehouse No. 2 northwest of Dunton, which shows that at least a group of survivors passed by here and fled to the north

    "We have been deeply trapped in this corrupt land, and we can barely survive by relying on this small shelter space. There is only a dead end when leaving the observatory, but the traces of those survivors keep Alphonse and I always hopeful, and we choose to believe  ¡­the resilience of civilization.

    "Diana, it is now the 20th year since the observatory has been closed. After leaving this image, Alphonse and I will leave this sheltered space for the last time and leave the 'star map' on the most conspicuous wall on the lower floor of the observatory.  ', and then we will return here, close the door, and never leave. In the next time, Alphonse and I will be with the starry sky above our heads, quietly waiting for the last moment to come.

    "Perhaps when someone comes here next time, no one will be able to understand the meaning of the star map in the lobby on the first floor. It is even possible that until the observatory is completely destroyed, no one will visit this ruins again, but we believe that knowledge is the  It is always valuable, even if civilization collapses, even if the last intelligent life closes its eyes under the starry sky, knowledge - as the footprint of civilization's pursuit of the unknown, it will always have its meaning.

    "Goodbye, Diana, maybe it's too late now. This is what I didn't have time to tell you back then - you have completed your service honorably, and now you are off work."
