Chapter 1384： Legacy

As Sir Scott’s last words fell, the images stored in this space came to an end. In a silent moment, the hazy light and shadow floating in the air drifted away like a broken avalanche. The sky was filled with fine shimmer particles and quickly disappeared into the air, and this seemed to trigger a chain reaction—when the light and shadow were scattered, a piece of glow suddenly flowed through the ground of the entire platform, and the glow condensed into bright white. The lines quickly converged towards the central area, and the light hovering like a thick mist that had always enveloped the central area quickly dimmed and weakened in the next few seconds.

Diana looked at the location where Sir Scott had disappeared in a daze. The old mental core was running jerky and seemed to be processing huge emotional information. Gawain even heard an abnormal noise from the opponent's body, which made He couldn't help but asked a little worried: "Ms. Diana, are you okay?"

"...I'm fine," Diana blinked, waking up from a daze, "You can continue the mission."

Her voice was still faint and distant, as precise and calm as a machine-and more calm than usual.

Gawain looked into Diana’s eyes, nodded a moment later, and turned to look at the central area of ​​the observatory. The white light covering the center has completely faded at this moment, revealing the things hidden in it. Gawain stretched out his hand towards Pointed over there: "Let’s check those things. If yes, they should be the'relics' left to you by Sir Scott."

"It's for all of us." Diana said softly, and walked over there. Gawain beckoned to those who followed. A group of people followed the white stream of light flowing on the ground and came to the view. In the center of the star station, I can see the scene clearly—

There is only a one-meter circular platform in the center of the observatory. Its center is slightly recessed. The surface formed by an unknown material reflects the brilliant stars above, a palm-sized piece of light blue crystals. The stacked "crystal block" is placed in the center of the platform. This "crystal block" is guarded by the stars, and the surface is floating with mysterious brilliance. Around the platform, six chairs are symmetrically placed, four of which are Only one dark urn was placed on each of the chairs, and on the other two chairs were Alphonse Hall Fellows and Sir Scott Planting.

In this different space, the bodies of the two ancient scholars did not decay, but turned into complete corpses. They sat quietly in their final positions, their heads still in a raised posture, and the sunken eye sockets seemed to be separated from each other. For seven hundred years, he was still watching the fissure at the top of the space, watching the clear starry sky that appeared in the fissure.

Diana came to the two ancient scholars, bowed her head and greeted silently. The others around also subconsciously held their breath, expressing their respect in a brief silence, and then Amber's eyes noticed the death of Sir Scott. A gesture maintained afterwards—his dry and stiff fingers pointed directly under the seat, and seemed to be very deliberately making people fall on the place of his fingers. Amber looked in that direction and finally opened his eyes slightly: "Ah, there is something on the ground!"

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted to the past, and people discovered that the ground near the six seats was actually densely engraved with words and symbols! They centered on the circular platform and spread outward in an unconventional way, covering almost one-third of the ground of the observatory. However, due to the stable environment in the different space, these nicks are still clearly identifiable to this day—just everyone before. All of his attention was attracted by the round table reflecting the starry sky, the "lattice" in the center of the round table, and the remains of ancient scholars, so that before Amber opened his mouth, no one noticed that the rough "textures" on the ground turned out to be words!

"This is..." Philip's eyes widened in an instant. What caught his eyes was a large number of specious characters and another completely unknown character. He felt dizzy after just a glance, but Gawain next to him recognized it at a glance. Some of the words are the lingua franca of the Gondor Empire, and the other part is the alien signals received by both the Thorin Hub and the Winter Winter!

"This is the'legacy' left by Sir Scott and the others," Gao Wen said in a deep voice.

Philip opened his eyes wide and looked at the dense indentations on the ground, and said softly as if he was talking to himself: "Carved on the ground...should be carved on the ground...There is no more stable and lasting recording method than this. After all, spells will change over time. The storage devices will become unusable due to the passage of civilization. Only these carved on the ground can withstand the longest erosion of time..."

"Record all this," Gao Wen ordered in a deep voice, "Do not move anything here until the recording is complete, to prevent the shelter space from collapsing and closing prematurely."

The entourage began to get busy immediately, using the equipment brought by the trip to record the symbols and words carved on the ground, and made several backup copies stored in the magic crystal on the spot. In addition to leaving the magic image, several people Mage scholars even took out the enchanted parchment and quill they carried with them, and began to use site shorthand spells to transcribe all the characters on the ground on thick scrolls-these scholars can understand these without any special reminders from Gao Wen or Amber. What is the meaning of the characters carved on the ground? Faced with a knowledge heritage passed down to future generations 700 years ago, they all regarded it as the most precious treasure in history.

After the accompanying experts and scholars began to record these things, Diana, Gawain and others voluntarily left the central area. They stepped on the ground that had been measured by Sir Scott with his feet for 20 years, slowly When he reached the edge of the entire observatory, Philip raised his head and looked beyond the edge, watching the huge building fragments floating without gravity rotate slowly in the line of sight, and beyond the fragments, there is a vast and vast, looking The boundless illusory light that made him sighed: "It's hard to imagine being stuck here for twenty years..."

"Fortunately, there is still a starry sky above them." Gao Wen raised his head and glanced at the huge fissure directly above this alien space. Although he did not know the principle behind this fissure, he did not know how the two ancient Gondor Magisters combined The starlight scene of the real world was "introduced" into this sanctuary, but he believed that this starry sky must have inspired Scott, Alphonse, and Bairlow seven hundred years ago, especially when they knew the starry sky After there are other civilizations that can think and communicate, the cold stars will also be the only comfort after the end—because they know that even though the world around them has fallen apart, there is still a world full of vitality light years away.

"Speaking of, you led a large group of troops passing through the Verplandun area, and at that time you didn't find anyone in this observatory." Amber seemed to remember something suddenly, and looked up at Gawain. "At that time, they probably had already hidden. Are you in this shelter?"

"Even if they didn't hide in this shelter, it would be difficult to meet us," Gawain shook his head slightly. "Verplanton is not just an observatory. It is a large area. Large-scale towns and many research facilities, observatories, museums, warehouses, research institutes... The Gondor people have studied astronomical objects here for many years. The observatory is only one of the core facilities here, and it was in a state of escape at that time. For refugees who are in urgent need of supplementary supplies, the attractiveness of such facilities as the observatory is obviously not as attractive as the ruins of the towns and imperial warehouses along the way."

"Things from the sky..." Amber muttered thoughtfully, and then turned to look at the "crystal block" placed on the central round platform of the observatory. "If it's correct, it should be Scott. The'extraordinary objects' mentioned by the Jazz can continuously release energy and maintain such a shelter in a different space for seven hundred years. It is an amazing thing. Do you think we should...how to deal with it?"

She was reminding Gawain, and also reminding Sir Diana next to Sir Scott to leave to future generations not only the "knowledge" carved on the ground, but also a tangible "object" that is emitting a subtle The blue crystal block is undoubtedly the key item that protected the observatory when the Deep Blue Well erupted. It is also the reason why the observatory will not be attacked by various dangerous things in the wasteland for the next seven hundred years. Its value It goes without saying that how to deal with it is a problem that must be faced.

As Gawain’s **** dogleg, Amber certainly hopes that this crystal block belongs to Cecil. After all, the entire Wiplanton area is now under Cecil’s control. The observatory is also the first to be discovered by Philip’s people. The entire exploration operation is now also It is led by Cecil, adhering to the two principles of "the wasteland is no owner" and "first discovery and actual control". The relics found in this ancient facility seem to belong to the original discoverer. .

But to be reasonable... this thing is not really unowned.

Sir Scott said in a message that the inheritance here is for Diana, which is more embarrassing—the heir is here now, and everyone has seen the video record just now, so you can’t be shy. Don't you?

After thinking about it, it was a messy and troublesome account. After two minutes of thinking about it, Amber felt dizzy. In the end, he could only sigh and murmur in a low voice: "Hey, it's better to dig the graves of the poorest households..."

Gawain didn’t hear Amber’s muttering, but he could guess what was going around in this guy’s mind, and on his side, this mess could even go around one more circle—the "meteorite rain" that fell in the Wiplanton area. "Essentially, it is the debris from the space station that Amon hit the sky three thousand years ago, and his "satellite spirit" is now the heir to the sailor's legacy. If that is the case, the scum that fell from the sky station is not counted as His stuff? The Wiplanton meteor shower caused considerable economic losses in the Gondor Empire. Was the responsibility Amorne or Gaowen borne? If it was Amorn’s responsibility, then Amorne is now a senior adviser to the empire, and his direct person in charge is Gawain, which is even more unclear. There are still a lot of people...

This is a meaningless round-table. Whoever feels that he has too many brain cells can do the calculations, but Gao Wen has always felt that his brain cell loss has been too serious, so from the beginning, he did not intend to be confused about this. Too much energy was consumed on the account.

He owns an entire space station in the sky, and soon, he will start repairing and exploring the station in the sky. In the long run, sea monsters, dragons, elves, humans, these races are all in contact with the sky station. Unless Gawain intends to fundamentally overthrow his own creed and code of conduct, he will not be able to avoid this development-unless he makes up his mind to let the races of this planet continue to lie in the circle of gravity, no one will touch the sky. The legacy of the sailor, and then one day in the future, let himself die slowly with the races on the earth.

He needs to truly grasp the secrets of the sailors, and cannot go back to the old path of the adversity empire. He needs the wisdom races of the world as his own help, through open, transparent, and rational research and development instead of "elite contact and deification worship." "To achieve this goal, he needs (and must) let all the mortals on this planet break free from the shackles of their hearts and step out of the cradle, because only in this way can he avoid the future where everything is dying.

So, the sailor’s legacy is destined not to be hidden—he had to hide things before he was not strong enough, because many things were not under his control, but now, he is strong enough, Cecil The empire has the ability to be the helm of this era, so he can think about the problem in the way of "the helm."

Therefore, the only thing he needs to ensure is to keep everything under his own control—the research and exploration of the Sky Station must be open, but the authority of the Sky Station must always be in his own hands. The mortal races of this planet must Will rise up and finally step out of the cradle, but this process cannot be out of control. This is not only responsible for oneself, but also for those who follow oneself, trust oneself and support their own ideas along the way.

As for the "crystal block" at the moment, Gao Wen also has this attitude: it does not matter who the crystal block belongs to, but the knowledge belongs to everyone. After all, everyone has to develop, and he needs everyone to develop. In the whole process Here, just ensure Cecil’s research share.

He looked at the center of the observatory. The small cube emitting a faint blue light, like a stack of multiple layers of crystals, was particularly eye-catching in his field of vision. He closed his eyes slightly again, and the crystal block was still floating on him. In the field of vision, and a line of notes emerged around it—damaged ion energy group, key components are missing/tampered, and recycling is not recommended.

It seems that because Cassandra and Ashalena restarted part of the system on the Sky Station, Gawain's control of the space station has been further strengthened. He noticed it when he saw the crystal block just now. These additional "comment information" appears.

He can even directly sense the "existence" of that crystal block and vaguely perceive the "energy trail" extending around it.

But that's all-he is not an expert in this area. The authority of the sailor does not allow him to obtain the corresponding knowledge out of thin air. He does not understand the principle and control method of this ingot, and it is estimated that he will be given another 100 I still don't understand Nian.

But it doesn't matter, there are many smart people in this world, and these smart people can be his help.

"Ms. Diana, this crystal is a'relic' left to you by Sir Scott." Gawain opened his eyes and looked at the ancient machine next to him. "Theoretically, it should belong to you-but for the sake of the entire alliance. I hope we can share the mystery that may be contained in this crystal block."

"I understand what you mean," Diana's expression didn't seem to change. "Before setting off, His Majesty Rosetta also discussed this issue with me, as to how the'heritage' that may be found in the Wiplanton Observatory should be distributed— For specific items, we can negotiate slowly, only knowledge...knowledge should belong to everyone."

She raised her head and looked at the central area of ​​the observatory, her voice becoming a little low.

"Personally, I don't really care about that crystal. I just hope...I can take away Sir Scott and their remains. That's all my wish."

"Of course," Gawain stood up straight, his expression becoming solemn, "as it should be."
