Five years after Cecil, during the last week of the Harvest Moon, Noi and Loren ushered in the last super-light communication between the two civilizations before the coming of the demonic tide.
When the giant sun in the Thorin region rose to the highest point in the sky, the leaders of every country in the Loren Alliance connected to the listening port of the communication link. Four light years away, the wise men and leaders of the Noi people They are also connected to their data network.
And speaking on behalf of the two civilizations, one is still Gawain, and the other is still the "witch" Nova.
For this special day, Gawain even left Cecil City and personally came to the command center of the Thorin Giant Tree - he would complete his last dialogue with the Noi people in this hall that played an extremely important historical mission. Although this will not have any impact on the communication process between the two civilizations from a practical point of view, as mortals, we always have to pursue symbolic meanings of one kind or another.
In Thorin's command hall, all operating seats are full, and all control terminals are on standby. Flashing runes and magical light flow quietly on the magic metal belts on the walls and roof. A Taiwan Magic The network terminal lit up one after another amidst a low hum. The "Mind Hub" pillar directly connected to the computing center was standing quietly in the center of the hall. The lights on its alloy shell flashed, showing that it had been connected to the translation auxiliary array, data Centers and other facilities have established connections.
An unusually solemn and silent atmosphere enveloped this huge place. The operators in front of each seat sat in their seats with an almost solemn attitude, although maintaining a faster-than-light communication did not require so many operators to be on duty at the same time. , but on this special day today, "attending" itself is their duty. Gawain is sitting on the platform where Bertila's incarnation usually is. He is calmly watching the holographic projection in front of him, Watch the numbers above jump a little bit.
Bertila stood quietly beside Gao Wen, and her perception extended along the huge nervous system to the crown of the giant Thorin tree. She listened to the huge antenna array humming softly in the wind, and after a certain hum , the familiar and gentle tremor finally appeared in the atmosphere - the greetings from four light years away arrived on time.
"Noi communication signal received." Bertila said immediately, and this seemed to be a switch. The hall that was originally in a stagnant state became busy in an instant - the translation assistance array began to automatically record those who had been entered due to frequent use. The information in the database was translated into Noi's universal text, and the recording equipment began to perform file-keeping operations. The holographic projection in front of Gawain trembled slightly, and clear text appeared in front of his eyes: "Noi called Loren - we are all fine. .¡±

"Loren received the call - I'm glad to hear your voice," Gawain took a gentle breath and said with a slight smile, "This will be our last communication before the magic wave arrives."
"Yes," the text on the holographic projection paused here, and then the message continued to come, "No matter what the outcome is, we are very happy to make friends like you during this long watch. Noi is willing to send Luo We regard Lun as an eternal ally, and our strong friendship will be like a blood relationship across the stars - until time and fate bring us to an end."
"The same is true for us. The encounter with you will be the most valuable harvest of Loren civilization since its birth and development," Gawain said slowly, "Are you all prepared?"
"We have done everything we can - we have exhausted all our efforts. Calculated in Loren time, the Noi people spent 1,400 years facing this doomsday, and before this doomsday came, In the last day, there is nothing left for us to complete." The characters on the holographic projection were beating. "We have stopped now. The wise men and elders are waiting for the challenge to come in peace and calmness. Humanly speaking, the spear and shield are already in hand, and the rest is just waiting for the enemy to come."
Then, "Witch" Nova's message paused for a moment, and a new message came: "What about you? Friends, where are your preparations? When the demonic tide comes to Noi, there will be no time left for you. ¡Not much more.¡±
"We have completed the decryption and injection of the final key at the data level, and the preparations for the activation of the planetary shield have also been completed. Now only the construction work in space is left - this work will be completed in one day It will be over within two months," Gawain said calmly. "After you begin to face the demonic tide, Loren will complete all the preparations as planned. Don't worry about us. Everything is going according to schedule, and even Slightly ahead of schedule.¡±
"Then, I wish you all the best," on the holographic projection, the message sent by "Witch" Nova was refreshed line by line, "We will work together in our minds.I hate this giant sun, but rather I hate that fate is full of malice and that fate has arranged for us to live on a satellite orbiting a gas giant planet." Gawain smiled and shook his head, "But what's the point of this hatred? What does it mean? The giant sun has no malicious intent. Without its existence, our planet would not even have the chance to give birth to life. This world also has no malicious intent. It just exists and operates like this. "
"Who doesn't know this truth?" Bertila seemed to smile, "But when we really face the desperate and arrogant darkness, how many people can stay awake like you and not resent the unfair fate? This is human nature.¡±
Gawain just smiled, but did not speak again.
In the final analysis, human nature cannot withstand too many tests at the individual level, but survival is inherently composed of continuous tests. This is destined to cause frustration and temporary sinking to be a normal phenomenon among mortal groups. However, the pride of civilization and This is the precious thing¡ª¡ª
Although there are always people left behind, although there are always people who fall under the test, choose to retreat or fall into darkness under the pressure, there are always individual flaws and failures, as a group, as a whole, it always tries to survive tenaciously. Come down. Sometimes you may feel that the world is full of quagmire, that there are people around you who are unreachable, that life is dark and light is hard to find, but from a group perspective and a longer time span, things are actually not that bad.
Those who fell behind for a while have now caught up, and those who were depressed for a while have now cheered up. Those who once cursed the sun and lamented their fate under great pressure have never really quit this battle with the doomsday - just like at this moment The giant sun is gradually sinking below the horizon. Its sinking is a part of the natural cycle. Dark night will always cover the earth, but it will always rise again.
In the command hall, the countdown representing the demon tide of Noi was gradually coming to an end. In the calm communication channel, the voice of "Witch" Nova suddenly came: "I am watching your star, it So bright.¡±
Another incarnation of Bertila was waiting in the hall. When she saw this sentence, she said, "This is Bertila - I thought you went to rest."
"Ah, it's Ms. Bertila," Nova quickly responded, "As I said, the witch won't get tired, and I have nothing to do - when the demon tide comes, this Voyager satellite It will protect my mind, but the communication between me and the surface will also be temporarily interrupted. Although they sent me many things to kill time, I think my favorite thing is to study the countless stars here. . I will always look over to you and wait here to hear your voice."
"So that's it," Bertila thought thoughtfully, then she glanced at the countdown next to her and said, "By the way, Nova, there is still a little time, I have something to give you."
"Oh? What is it?"
"It is a poem that the sailors left to our planet - I want to give it to you and your tribe. As a civilization that also inherited some heritage from the sailors, I think it will be of great significance to you and your tribe. There¡¯s something about both of us.¡±
Bertila said slowly, and then she recalled the short poem. A look back left by the sailor 1.8 million years ago turned into a message flowing across the four light-year sea of ??stars¡ª¡ª
¡°¡Don¡¯t be intoxicated by this illusory night of tranquility¡the night will eventually be broken¡
¡°¡Don¡¯t indulge in your warm cradle¡the cradle will overturn one day¡
¡°¡Don¡¯t sleep in the shelter of the soul¡Sooner or later, the shelter of the soul will become an unbreakable shackles¡
¡°Let¡¯s set off, before the stars twinkle, let¡¯s set off, before the long night ends¡
"If we don't set off soon, day will fall"
The equipment in the hall was buzzing, and Bertila quietly listened to the "sound" coming from the antenna array. After a moment, a message from the other side of the star sea appeared on the holographic projection in front of her: "Thank you, really. good."
The countdown returns to zero.
At the top of the canopy of Thorin's giant tree, the last ray of dancing light on the horizon finally sank below the horizon. The cloud-like crown rising from the edge of the sun turned into a shadow remaining in the retina. The quiet night wind blew from the direction of the plain. Come, and in the night wind, the towering antenna array finally gradually fell silent.
Gawain stared at the dark night in front of him, and Bertila's voice came to his ears: "Communication with Noi was interrupted."
