Gao Wen felt that it was time to tell some things about those whom he trusted the most.

People like Hetty, Rebecca, Byron, Amber, etc. have spent the longest time with Gao Wen and learned the most. Their trust in Gao Wen is unquestionable. Time has proved that they have heartfelt support and support for their current common cause, which determines that their many words, deeds and judgments are first of all due to identification with ideas, not simply driven by interpersonal relationships or interests. On the other hand, after being together for so long, they have also realized the many special features of Gao Wen to a certain extent and the close relationship between him and the legacy of the Settler.

Since there are no stupid people here, it is better to explain some things in advance.

Now Kassandra and Ashalina have known the truth in space, and in order to further repair the Sky Station, the truth will soon reach the upper level of the Dragon Clan and the Siren. So Gao Wen plans to take this opportunity to tell some core members, including Hetty, about the Sky Station and the satellite array. After all, if everything is really done as planned, the Sky Station will sooner or later be revealed to the entire world. In this process, Gao Wen also needs to use these ancient setter legacy to do a lot of things. In this case, if the person he is most capable and trusted around him is kept in the dark, it may lead to bad things at certain critical moments.

After all, what the core members of the team want is a tacit understanding. If there is no tacit understanding, when it comes to critical moments, you say "You look at me and act" and the other party can only say "What are you talking about" in a confused look. That is a very painful situation. And even if it is not a bad thing, more and more little secrets between the team cores will make you restrain yourself in action and add some unnecessary concerns out of thin air.

Hetty noticed the serious expression on the face of the ancestor. The empire consul who always had a confident, steady and reliable posture in front of outsiders felt a nervousness out of thin air. She had only this kind of tension in front of Gao Wen for so many years that she could not help but recall her childhood. She followed the instructions of her ancestors and sat next to the wide desk. She watched Gao Wen come over and sit on the high-back chair inside the desk, and then spoke carefully: "Ancestor, what do you want to tell me?"

"You don't have to be so nervous, you're not criticizing you," Gao Wen was a little worried about where to start telling Herty about these things that challenged his views. At this time, he couldn't help laughing when he saw the other party's nervous appearance. "I just haven't told you some things, Rebecca, Amber, Byron and others. Now I feel that the time is ripe and want to say it."

Hetty breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the names mentioned by her ancestors. She quickly realized the special "level" of these people, and her expression immediately became serious: "Please speak."

Gao Wen touched the stubble on his chin, pondered for two seconds, and finally spoke slowly: "You should know that seven hundred years ago, I left the Loren continent and made a secret voyage. During that voyage, I arrived at another continent in the southeast of the Loren continent. On that strange land, there was a huge tower left by the setter. I once entered its interior."

"Yes, I know this," Hetty nodded immediately, "at first I only knew its 'Legend Version', but then you told me some of its details..."

"That's not all the details," Gao Wen raised his hand and gently tapped his temple. "In fact, I 'climbed' back then was far more than a tower, and the connection between me and the legacy of the Settler is far more than that adventure. To this day, there is still an inseparable connection between me and those legacy. Here, in my mind, deep in my consciousness, data exchanges that you cannot imagine every minute and every second are being carried out. In a sense... I am the legacy of the Settler now."

Hetty slowly opened her eyes wide. She could not fully understand what Gao Wen said, but the only parts she could understand had already made countless amazing speculations appear in the mind of the great steward of the Empire. She couldn't help swallowing and calmed down her thoughts running around in her mind and asked: "What do you mean is that your consciousness is 'bound' with the legacy of the setter? Those... ancient facilities can carry human consciousness? On that tower..."

Gao Wen smiled and interrupted Hetty: "Don't worry, I will tell you now what is above that tower and what is above our 'world'.

"First of all, I want to tell you some concepts, about the concepts of 'on-orbit spacecraft', 'permanent space station' and 'orbital elevator'. Don't worry about what 'elevator' means, just treat it as a certain elevator..."

In the next few dozen minutes, Hetty's mouth almost never closed much.

In Gaowen's clear and patient explanation, a "true side of the world" that she had never imagined slowly opened the door in front of her. Those "satellites" and "space stations" that have overlooked this planet for millions of years, those alien creatures that can operate semi-permanently in the universe, the "orbital elevators" that can extend from the earth to the starry sky. Everything that has quietly run out of the sight of mortals but no one can see, challenged the three views of this imperial steward, but also strongly aroused another emotion in her heart: the impulse of curiosity and exploration.

There are such amazing things in this world, and they have been "around" by mortals for the long years in the past.

But soon, her overly shocked mentality calmed down. Although the ancient facilities in space were amazing, the "gate" project led by Carmire not long ago also discovered something equally incredible in the kingdom of the gods. Sentinel cruise ships and sentinel home ports are amazing creations that are no less than satellite arrays and orbit space stations. Those things well tempered Hetty's calm mentality when facing the Settler's legacy, so what she was even more surprised now was the "connection" between her ancestors and those legacy.

"...For many years, my consciousness has been residing on a surveillance satellite in space, overlooking the earth. It was not until Amber awakened my body that I was able to return to the ground. However, the connection between me and those things in space was not interrupted. Instead, there was a further 'progress'. For example, I have now taken over the Sky Space Station surrounding the planet..." Gao Wen's voice was calm, with a reassuring aura. "I used this special perspective to determine the location of the Winter Number, and not long ago, I also contacted Kassandra and Asharena who entered the Sky Station through the orbital elevator..."

Hetty stared at his eyes, and after a while he thought: "No wonder..."

Gao Wen asked with a smile and curiosity: "No wonder?"

"No wonder you have the way of looking at the world, no wonder you can always stand at a transcendent height to deal with the problems we encounter," Hetty said softly, with an indescribable complex sigh in her tone, "I used to think that this is your innate quality and the wisdom you have realized after transcending life and death, but I didn't expect that you have spent seven hundred years observing and thinking about the world..."

Gao Wen opened his mouth and looked at Hetty in a little surprised moment. After a moment, he couldn't help laughing: "I always feel that your understanding seems to be a bit off, but it's okay for you to think so."

Hetty pondered for a moment, and spoke with a thoughtful expression: "So, next, are you going to ask the Dragon Clan and Siren to help repair that...'space station'? Do you hope to use the repaired space station to fight against the possible backup plan of the sentry?"

"It's probably too late, and it's a big uncertainty factor. Before actually trying it, no one knows whether the Siren and the Dragon Clan can understand the things of the Departures," Gao Wen shook his head. "I do have plans to use the Departures legacy to fight the sentinels, but as for restoring the space station... this is a long-term plan, even if it starts now, it will probably be a long time later."

"Who knows this now? What step do you plan to make it public?" Hetty asked again. "In the future, do you really plan to let other members of the alliance... share all this?"

"Now you know, Kassandra and Ashalina also know that soon Byron will know that all those who are trustworthy and shoulder heavy responsibilities should know this, and one day in the future, these things, including the Sky Space Station and the satellite cluster, will inevitably be made public among all the members of the Alliance," Gao Wen has made a decision. "The mortals on this planet will eventually step out of their cradle, whether it is for 'adult' or to survive in the tide of demons throughout the universe, and as long as we plan to take this step, the legacy of the Setter in space is something that everyone will inevitably face.

"The crabs that pull each other's legs will never climb out of the cage. This is a very reasonable proverb, especially in this world that is not very friendly. The way forward of mortals is thrilling, so I don't want everyone to be trapped on this planet in the end.

"Of course, we cannot be blindly optimistic in this process, and we cannot unconditionally believe that everyone can have the same rationality as us. The luckiest thing in this process is that the Settlement Space Buildings, including the Sky, are under my control. We can use this to exert the greatest influence in the Alliance's contact with the Settlement Legacy to ensure that the process is controllable."

"I understand," Hetty nodded slightly, "Your thoughts are indeed much deeper than mine..."

Gao Wen's mouth moved, and he always felt that after learning these truths, Hetty seemed to have changed a little, and he insisted on admiring his ancestors more. This was different from what he expected at the beginning...

I can only say that I really deserve to be a man who has been engaged in magic research, and there is blood flowing in my body that is incomparable to Rebecca's ability to accept.

Thinking of a certain iron-headed roe deer, Gao Wen couldn't help but say to himself: "I don't know what the girl Rebecca will react after she knows these things..."

"She? She probably can't think of such a profound thing," Hetty couldn't help but smile. "Her biggest reaction was probably that she felt that 'the ancestors were too powerful', 'It's true that she was my ancestor', and for a long time, she couldn't sleep because she couldn't take this out and show off to others everywhere, or pestered you to tell her the story of hanging in the sky... Ah, the last sentence was a bit inappropriate, but I was speaking in Rebecca's way of thinking, and I'll just beat him back..."

"Ahem," Gao Wen immediately started to cough, "Is this a little wrong with you?"

"I'm kidding," Hetty's lips suddenly curled up, "I'm also looking forward to what the child's reaction will be like then."

For some reason, Gao Wen suddenly felt that Hetty was relaxing a lot in front of him at this moment.

...

Under the clear night sky full of stars, the towering ancient "high tower" stands between the sky and the sea. This is the first time that humans have seen in history this season. Everyone standing under this giant tower will naturally have a sense of pride that is participating in history.

Byron looked up at the deep night sky.

The optical mask system hides the figure of the giant space structure that can be observed on the surface of the planet, but even if you can't see anything, as long as you already know the existence of the miraculous creation, your mentality when you look up at the sky will inevitably undergo permanent changes, especially in this process, and the "little secret" of the person you are loyal to. Changes in mentality are even more inevitable.

"To be honest, do you understand everything?" Asharena's voice came from the side, and the red-haired dragon seal witch looked at Byron's eyes curiously in the night.

"To be honest, I didn't understand everything, mainly about space stations, satellite concepts, etc...." Byron scratched his already messy hair, "I only know that it is some very advanced technology that can allow some facilities with important functions to float in the sky forever, orbiting the planet... But I understand the part about His Majesty."

"For us 'non-professionals', it's enough to understand this part," Ashalina exhaled softly, as if she was relieving the pressure accumulated before. "What do you think?"

Byron thought about it carefully for a long time, countless emotions and sudden sudden revelations in his heart. The old knight who served as the first marshal of the Imperial Navy turned his eyes to the vast sea in the distance. After a long period of contemplation, he finally spoke in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is awesome."

Asarena: “…”

"There is no way, my cultural level is just like this. I can't even read my daughter's grammar textbook," Byron spread his hands, "but there is one thing I can be sure of. After the war is over... the world will be turned upside down."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cassandra had just reported to Siren General Vanessa about her experience in the Sky Space Station.

Vanessa, who had experienced a "big crash", was shocked. Since she woke up hundreds of thousands of years ago near the crash site of Anta Vien, she has not felt such shock for a long time.

"The ring-shaped giant structure we saw during the fall..." General Siren murmured to himself, "Hundreds of thousands of years have passed since we have been exposed to information in this area again. It is actually under such circumstances..."
