A clear holographic projection appeared above the silver-white pillar, and Ophelia's figure appeared in front of Gawain. This time she still used the same "posture" as before at the meeting site: a body that looked the same as the real one. "Ophelia Norton" is an almost identical "carrier", sitting on a pale golden throne, with a large number of pipes and cables extending from behind the body and around the throne.
"Good night," Ophelia's voice came from the screen, sounding as calm and calm as ever, "I hope I didn't disturb your rest."
Tyr and Tyr who were standing nearby looked at the Princess of Gondor who appeared in the holographic projection, then looked at Gawain, and asked hesitantly: "Should I avoid it? Are you planning to talk about any confidential topics? ?¡±
When Gawain heard this, he immediately glanced at this deep-sea salted fish in surprise - probably because Tyr's usual unreliable behavior was too frequent, so that at this time, he even heard a reliable word from the other party. A strange feeling
"No need," Ophelia's voice immediately came from the screen. Although her body was still expressionless, her voice sounded obviously smiling, "It's not something that needs to be kept secret - Miss Till, Don¡¯t think of me as a stranger, I am the Veronica you are familiar with. When we were in Cecil City, we discussed many things together.¡±
"That's true," Tier blinked, "But it's really a bit uncomfortable all of a sudden I'm used to dealing with 'Veronica', and now I suddenly see you in this form"
"Okay, let's not talk about a guy who usually changes himself around when he has nothing to do, and even cuts off his tail and creates six clones." Gawain couldn't help but glance at Tyr, and then looked at Aoife Leah, "Is there something wrong with you there?"
"The core control system of the Deep Blue Well has come back online," Ophelia said, her tone sounding a little serious. "After initially repairing the perimeter pipeline monitoring system, I discovered some things that have not been discovered before, which may be related to the previous sentinels. activities related.¡±
"A situation that has not been discovered before? Is it related to the sentry?" Gawain's brows instantly wrinkled, "Tell me more specifically."
"I found that several energy conduits had been invaded and intercepted. The output logs in the relevant areas did not correspond. In addition, some Iron Man soldiers disappeared mysteriously. The date of their signal disappearance was before the outbreak of the war due to some system errors. , these data have been hidden from my monitoring, and have not been discovered until now - these intercepted energy and missing soldiers should be the sudden increase in strength and collective 'evolution' of the dark priests before, and the subsequent success of the creeping disaster from The reason for the huge amount of energy being drawn from the depths of the earth around the Deep Blue Well.
"But these are not big problems. The Sentinel conspiracy has now been foiled, and all system failures are being gradually repaired. The real key is I received some signals while monitoring the 'Pulse Flow', coming from deep within the Deep Blue Network. district."
"Some signals? In the Deep Blue Network Channel?" Gawain seemed to have thought of something, "Could it be"
"I suspect it's the 'rune stones' that the Sentinels dropped into the Webway before," Ophelia's voice sounded more serious. "It seems that the deaths of the Sentinels and the Creeping Bane did not automatically invalidate these rune stones. They are still It¡¯s running.¡±
Gawain and Amber looked at each other for a moment, and both of them saw the same shock and nervousness in each other's eyes - what Ophelia discovered was undoubtedly the blind spot of everyone's vision before. The scale of this war was so huge, and the victory was so exciting that when the war ended, almost everyone fell into the joy of final victory. No one thought that the rune stones that were thrown into the dark blue webway would actually Still running! !
In this nervousness, Gawain suddenly felt extremely lucky: when almost everyone had turned their attention to the complex affairs after the victory of the war, fortunately, there was still the Ophelia Matrix, a conscientious ancient artificial intelligence, meticulously Fulfill your responsibilities. If you don't have such a pair of vigilant eyes always watching the deep blue webway, God knows how long it will take for the world to remember those rune stones!
"Is it possible that those rune stones are still continuing to execute the instructions left by the sentry?" Amber suddenly asked.
"Based on the data we have now, there should be no need to worry," Ophelia replied. "The signals collected so far are just some regular transmissions and responses. Although the specific communication content still needs to be deciphered, it is generally certain that it is the rune stone. They are regular signals released when communicating among themselves, and they have no signs of large-scale activities for the time being.¡±
Speaking of this, Ophelia seemed to think for a moment, paused for a moment before speaking again: "The monitoring system of the Deep Blue Well has not been able to detect these rune stones before. I suspectDo you want to listen? "
"Ah, I'm here." I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ophelia's voice clearly sounded like she was awakening from a sluggish state, as if even the sanity of such an artificial intelligence had been washed away by the Siren's world view, "I Listening."
"So about salvaging those rune stones"
"About this, I just have a new idea," Ophelia took the initiative to speak before Gawain finished. "Salvaging all the rune stones from the dark blue webway is an almost impossible task - even if The Krakens think it can be accomplished, but that is also within their time scale. This kind of thing that takes who knows how many thousands of years to be realized has no reference value for ordinary mortal civilization, but from another perspective It might also be an option to leave those runestones in the Webway."
"Stay in the webway?" Gawain vaguely guessed what the other party was thinking, "You mean, those rune stones can also be of use to us?"
"This is a 'possibility'," Ophelia said seriously. Although this was an idea that just came to her, it was obvious that this "new idea" had been repeatedly deduced in her pile of computing units. How many times, "Although the plan of the Sentinels and the Dark Priests almost destroyed the world, according to the rune stone samples salvaged by the Kraken before and the information we got from the captured Dark Priests, the rune stones they dropped were essentially just a kind of Control nodes, and as a pure technology, these control nodes may not only be used to destroy the world.¡±
This is an idea that sounds very feasible, but at the same time it is also very unsettling. Gawain's tone couldn't help but become solemn: "Do you think that the 'control system' left by the sentry can be safely used in other fields?" ?¡±
"Essentially, these rune stones originate from the technology of the Voyager. According to my deduction, other planets with suitable conditions should also have a 'Deep Blue Webway' similar to our planet, and the technology behind these rune stones may have been originally used on planets. "Environmental transformation and the like," Ophelia expressed her thoughts, "In the eyes of the sailors, this is probably just a kind of'reclamation', or a basic livelihood project like a 'water conservancy project'."
"The 'water conservancy project' in the eyes of super civilization may be a doomsday flood for primitive civilization," Gawain said solemnly, "I understand what you mean. The 'prototype' technology of those rune stones may just be a high-level civilization. Certain basic civilian facilities are beneficial and harmless if used properly, but the key lies in whether we have reached the level of mastering this 'how to use' - if we have technology that can casually change the planetary environment, and this When technology is as simple as pressing a few buttons, that¡¯s not necessarily a good thing in today¡¯s league.¡±
Amber on the side nodded slightly, and rarely understood Gawain's concerns quickly: "After all, pressing the button is too simple - but the possible consequences of pressing the button are beyond our current capabilities."
"I have also considered this," Ophelia said in a calm voice, "That's why I said that this is just a 'possibility'. The reality we face now is that there are almost no control nodes left in the Deep Blue Network. may be completely removed. For a long time in the foreseeable future, we will have to face the fact that there are a bunch of 'bombs' buried in the planetary power system - since it is destined to be impossible to dig out, it is always better to know more about them. It's better than doing nothing, and what I call 'control' and 'exploitation' are just inevitable by-products of this research process."
"And even if we don't start research, there's no guarantee that there won't be another dark sect similar to the Society for the Death of All Things or someone else who will come into contact with those 'stones' for one reason or another," Amber's mind also said at this time. She became active, frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it said in many horror stories? A certain dark wizard who lost his soul fell into the sealed forbidden area of ??the evil god, and then gained the power of the evil god to harm everyone, and finally died. It would take a lot of male and female supporting actors and the protagonist's whole family to kill such a demon king - but if the person who left the seal could directly slice up the evil god and study it and leave operating instructions for future generations, maybe it wouldn't be possible at all. This happened"
"Although the example you gave is very problematic, it seems to make sense." Gawain glanced at Amber, then lowered his head slightly, and spoke slowly while thinking, "Indeed, those rune stones have sunk into almost every corner of the Webway. , except that Ophelia can now remotely receive the signals they emit, it is almost impossible for us to fish them all out. Since these things are destined to stay in the depths of our planet for a long time, what will happen to them? It's always good to have some understandingeven if it's risky, it's better than being at a loss when an accident happens.
"But then again, based on the signals Ophelia has received remotely, can we really 'control' those nodes?"
Ophelia¡¯s low voice came from the screen, with a hint of expectation: "This you need to take your time."
