The delivery of the last ancient druid sage to Amoen was one of the purposes of Belsetia's personal visit to Cecil this time, but she had another reason for her to come here.

On the third day after the elves arrived in Cecil City, deep in the secret facility "Project No. 115" located at the foot of the dark mountains in the southwest of the imperial capital, a magic car without any sign drove into a base surrounded by heavy walls and energy shields. The magic car passed directly through the connection passage and mechanical gate behind the administrative area, and drove into the giant cave where the main test site was located.

Standing on a high platform that overlooks most of the test ground, Bellsetia's eyes were directed to the vast assembly space downwards - countless crisscrossing steel structures and stone support platforms quickly shaped by magic power together form a test area larger than several football fields. The high-power magic crystal stone lamp fixed on the steel beam above made the platforms bright as daytime, and a large number of engineering vehicles could be seen. Technical personnel were walking through the platforms, and the lights of all sizes were like dragons.

This is the test site for assembling the aerospace fortress and is one of the important confidential projects of the empire. Under normal circumstances, such a place cannot be open to foreign envoys - however, this is an exception to the Queen of the Silver Elf. The reason is very simple: Although the entire 115 project is a project of the Cecil Empire, many of the anti-gravity engine groups and other technologies used behind it come from the Silver Elf, and many of its own energy parts are used in the elves' temples of stars.

On Cecil's side, there is the construction of the Aerospace Fortress, and on the Silver Empire, there is also the restoration project of the Temple of Stars - these two projects are unfolding in parallel, essentially one of the technical cooperation between the two empires.

"As you can see, our project is still in the stage of assembling the keel and testing the anti-gravity engine group," Gao Wen said to the Silver Queen beside him. "Of course, this is the most complex and time-consuming part of the entire project - once the infrastructure here is completed, the subsequent assembly progress will be very fast."

"I was surprised by this progress, Uncle Gao Wen - I didn't expect you to have entered the actual testing stage of the anti-gravity engine group," Belsetia sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Is this the role of the Origin Laboratory in promoting large-scale projects... I was deeply impressed."

Gao Wen smiled: "Origin Laboratory is indeed very useful. We put the test work in the real world that may take months or even one or two years to complete in a virtual environment. With the assistance of the thinking acceleration system, these tedious and time-consuming tasks can only be completed in a month or even less. Of course, the large-scale acceleration of neural networks consumes amazing amounts and also requires the use of valuable wet parts host resources, but compared to blowing up half of the base in the real world... this cost is quite cost-effective."

"...It seems that after I go back, I should seriously consider the issue of renting neural network computing power. That's what you mean, Uncle Gaowen?" Belsetia looked at Gaowen with a smile on her eyes, "It makes sense that it is expensive."

"We have established large-scale communication and forwarding channels between Cecil and the Silver Empire, and we should naturally make them most effective use," Gao Wen's expression was calm. "When it comes to this, what is the recent situation of the Temple of Stars?"

"If you are asking the temple itself, then it has little change - the restoration of the infrastructure is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Although scholars and craftsmen say that with the new technical support, the restoration project has made great progress every day, this progress cannot be seen directly with the eyes," Belsetia smiled. "If you are asking our restoration project... we have new discoveries almost every day."

The silver queen smiled and looked down at the huge assembly site on the platform, watching the complex mechanical structures being installed bit by bit on the bones made of steel, as if watching a giant being born little by little in a sleep.

"We finally took apart the ancient doors to the power core, the engine isolation dome that had not been opened for tens of thousands of years and the compartment to the central axis logic array. We saw the alloy skeletons extending vertically and horizontally in the dark, the ancient equipment that operated silently, and the decaying cables and sensors that had lost connection with the throne of the throne for hundreds of thousands of years...

"Most of the technologies in the deep zone are no longer understood - even if scholars can recognize one or two of them, they cannot be repaired under the current conditions, but at least we are determined not too late. We can still recognize the functions and positioning of most of the equipment groups. At the same time, we have new solutions now...

"Master Vilania led her astrologists to determine the energy logic at the bottom of the Temple of Stars. We replaced some of the heavily damaged power cores with magic net arrays from Cecil. Next, we will directly remove the completely scrapped anti-gravity and propulsion devices, replace them with modern industrial products, and rebuild the cabins and functional partitions around the temple keel.

"The biggest challenge we are facing at present is to rebuild the sensing and operation devices that have been offline from the control center, so that the throne of the throne can successfully identify the newly installed things in the temple of the star... The progress in this regard is the slowest, but fortunately, since the beginning of autumn, scholars have finally achieved some results. The artificial nerve cable and signal connector have been integrated. With the assistance of the biological nerve center, the control problem of the temple will be solved - I hope everything goes well, otherwise we will have to replace the problems caused by the insufficient effectiveness of the throne of the throne."

Listening to Belsetia narrating these technical fields, Gao Wen nodded slightly: "Is our 'smart factory' that inspired you?"

"Using the synthetic brain to give machines the ability to think...human creativity is always worthy of amazement," Belsetia laughed. "To be honest, after seeing the information sent by Rebecca, Master Vilania didn't eat for a whole day - but the next day she still read all the information with great perseverance and expressed her respect for your technology."

"..." Gao Wen was a little speechless for a moment, but he imagined in his mind what style the elves would have after they accepted the technical route of wet parts host + heavy machinery. He suddenly felt that he was guilty.

Belsetia didn't know what "things that only wanderers outside the domain could understand" in Gao Wen's mind. Her eyes were always on the assembly platforms below. Compared with the information on paper, these things that were witnessed with their own eyes could obviously bring her a real shock. After watching this for a while, she finally broke the silence softly: "Looking at these things, I couldn't help but think... In the very, very ancient times, in the years that even the silver elves could not imagine, how did our ancestors, primitive elves build a great creation like the Temple of Stars. Did the glorious and majestic fortress once assembled little by little from keels, beams and basic power units in an assembly field similar to here?"

"Of course, otherwise it would have grown directly from the ground?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, "Why did you suddenly think of these things?"

"After finally opening the gate to the deepest part of the Temple of Stars, we found many ancient traces from the cabins that had been covered with thousands of years," said Belsetia slowly. "In the long years, all areas of the Temple of Stars have undergone countless renovations and baptisms, and even wars have completely destroyed its external areas, but in those blocked cabins, everything remains in the state of a short time after the air fortress set sail.

"The silver elves today can no longer recognize the objects belonging to the original elves, but we can clearly feel that it comes from an ancient and great civilization, which is our specious "distant relative" brought out from a "homeland" that has long been forgotten by us...

"Unfortunately, due to the passage of time and some cabin seepage and air leakage, all files and drawing items have been completely destroyed, and the precise instruments used to record data have also been completely destroyed. All we can bring out are daily necessities or furnishings made of unknown alloys, as well as signs and markings printed from the walls, but even these things have caused a great response among the silver elves."

Gao Wen blinked curiously: "Are you a very big response?"

"Among the silver elves, there is a sound of 'finding homeland'," said Belsetia. "This stems from the original elves we are constantly looking for in the depths of the Temple of Stars.

"In fact, these voices have also existed before. Similar ideas have even accompanied the entire history of the founding of the Silver Empire. However, this kind of call has never formed a climate, because the deadly ocean storm is also extremely dangerous to the elves. The "power" of the Silver Empire is as embarrassing as Gondor back then. It can only be maintained within the cruise range of the Temple of Stars, but what has happened in recent years..."

"The alliance was established, technical support from Siren and Naga, the reopening of the continental route, the Dragons - and the successful navigation between the Loren continent and Tallond," Gao Wen quickly reacted, "These achievements have inspired all races trapped on the land, including you elves?"

"It should have been 'extraordinarily inspired' us," Belsetia looked at Gao Wen with a smile. "Elfs all know the ancient legend about the 'Great Schizophrenia'. We know that we are from another continent. When General Byron's feat successfully arrived in Tallond was spread to China, our scholars were excited, and the call of the 'homes' rose even more. In addition, our discoveries in the blockade of the Star Temple in recent times... Many elves seem to think that we can consider forming a fleet like humans to find the holy place of origin of the primitive elves."

"… Exploring strange continents in the ocean is a good thing, and I don't think there is anything wrong with this," Gaowen looked at Belsetia's eyes and carefully used the words, "But you should know that going to Tallond and finding the origin of the original elves is not the same concept - the former is the hometown of the dragon, we have guides, escorts, ready-made routes and astronomical phenomena recorded by the dragon, and hydrological data, and the distance between Tallond and Loren is not too far away, and the hometown of the elves..."

The foundation of the giant tower he saw from the perspective of Cangqiong Station and a little information he learned from Enya.

"Well, there is one thing that is certain that there is indeed another continent west of the Loren continent, which may be the hometown of the primitive elves. But it is far away, the environment is harsh, and the inland situation is unknown. During the heyday of Tallongd, the dragon clans occasionally sent several exploration teams to see the situation on that continent from afar, but now the dragon clan's strength has been greatly reduced, and it has lost the global communication and navigation support provided by the implants and synergists and the Omega system. Now even the dragon clan cannot cross the ocean to find that land."

Belsetia opened her eyes wide - the original elves might have originated from a strange continent in the west of Loren, which did not surprise her, because scholars of the Silver Empire had already put forward this conjecture in the past. She was surprised by Gao Wen's tone when he spoke these things. He obviously knew very well and paid attention to them for more than a day or two.

"Are you surprised?" Gao Wen of course noticed the change in the expression of the Silver Queen. He just smiled indifferently, "I have a good relationship with that dragon god. Many things have been heard from her, and in addition, I also have some... special intelligence channels. I know there is a continent on the west side of the Loren Continent, which should be the origin of the original elves. I also know that there is a continent in the southeast of Loren - the sirens know how to go.

"I have always been very interested in the New World. Exploring the unknown world has a great appeal to me. In some ways, one of the main reasons why I studied navigation technology and formed a powerful fleet is to explore the secrets located in the deep ocean. As for restarting the route around the continent and establishing marine trade... it is actually just ancillary results of this purpose."

Belsetia looked at Gao Wen with a happy smile. After a long time, she also laughed: "Your spirit of adventure... is really as intelligence says."

...

When Gao Wen talked with the Silver Queen about the issues of the New Route, the ancient continent and the spirit of adventure, another human with an extremely powerful spirit of adventure in this world was lying in his "Adventurer's Lodge", accompanied by the whistling winds that sounded from the time outside the town, and fell asleep sounded sounding from the warmth brought by the runes of heating.

A strange environment changes suddenly surged from my heart. The adventure intuition accumulated over the years stimulated the nerves. Modir suddenly woke up in a deep sleep and rolled from the bed to the ground in less than a tenth of a second. While making a defensive posture, the old mage had already grasped the short staff leaning against the bed with one hand, and the other hand pulled out the enchanted sword for protection from under the pillow.

Layer layers of body protection spells and blessing spells used to enhance vitality, recovery, and magic affinity are also activated instantly, covering the whole body.

All of this is an instinctive reaction like a muscle memory.

Modir had already broken free from the distress caused by sleep and was alert to the surrounding environment. He first quickly looked around and confirmed that he was still in his single "dormitory" - everything in his sight was in front of sleep, there was no sign of opening the doors and windows, and there was no breath of a stranger nearby.

But this is not his room, at least not his "normal" room.
