Chapter 1384 Legacy

As Sir Scott's last words came to the ground, the images stored in this space were played to the end. In a silent moment, the hazy light and shadow floating in the air quietly drifted like avalanche, turning into fine shimmer particles in the sky and quickly disappeared into the air. This seemed to trigger a chain reaction - at the moment when the light and shadows scattered, a piece of glow suddenly flowed through the ground of the entire platform, and the glow condensed into bright white lines and quickly converged towards the central area. The ray of light that always enveloped the central area, which was circulating like a thick fog, quickly dimmed and weakened in the next few seconds.

Diana looked at Sir Scott's disappearance in a daze. The ancient mind core was running a little awkwardly, as if it was processing huge emotional information. Gao Wen even heard an abnormal noise from the other party's body, which made him ask a little worriedly: "Ms. Diana, are you okay?"

"...I'm fine," Diana blinked and woke up from her daze, "you can continue with the mission."

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

Gao Wen looked at Diana's eyes, then nodded for a moment, turned to look at the center of the observatory. The white light covering the center had completely disappeared at this moment, revealing the things hidden in it before. Gao Wen reached out and pointed at the other side: "Let's check those things, if that's right, it should be the 'relics' left to you by Sir Scott."

"It's for all of us." Diana said softly, walking towards the other side, Gao Wen waved to the people following behind. The group came to the center of the observatory along the white light flowing on the ground, and also saw the scene here clearly-

The center of the observatory is only a circular platform about one meter, with a slightly sunken center. The surface formed by some unknown material reflects the brilliant stars above. A "crystal block" that is only the size of a palm, as if stacked from layers of light blue crystals is placed in the center of the platform. The "crystal block" is guarded by the stars, and mysterious glory floats on the surface. Around the platform, there are six chairs symmetrically placed, four of which are each placed with a dark-colored urn, and two other chairs are Grand Secretary Alphonse Hall and Sir Scott Plantin.

In this different space, the bodies of the two ancient scholars did not decay, but turned into complete mummies. They sat quietly in their last position, with their heads still maintaining a raised posture. The sunken eye sockets seemed to be still staring at the fissure at the top of the space, the clear starry sky presented in the fissure.

Diana came to the two ancient scholars, bowed her head and greeted silently, and the others around her subconsciously held their breath and expressed their respect in a brief silence. Then Amber's eyes noticed a gesture maintained by Sir Scott after his death - his already dry and stiff finger pointed directly under the seat, as if he was very deliberately letting people look at 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, and people then discovered that the ground near the six seats was densely engraved with words and symbols! They were centered on the round platform and spread out in a very regular way, covering almost one-third of the ground of the observatory. Due to the stable environment in the different space, these marks are still clearly visible to this day - but everyone's attention was attracted by the round platform reflecting the starry sky, the "lattice" in the center of the round platform and the remains of ancient scholars, so that before the amber opened, no one noticed that the rough "width" on the ground was actually text!

"This is..." Philip's eyes widened in an instant, and what caught his eye was a large number of plausible characters and another type of text that he didn't recognize at all. He just looked at it and felt dizzy, but Gao Wen next to him recognized at first glance that some of the words were the common human terms from the Gondor Empire period, and the other part was the alien signals that both the Thorin Hub and the Winter Hub had received!

"This is the 'legacy' left by Sir Scott and the others," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "it is the 'alien dictionary' they translated in twenty years."

Philip opened his eyes wide and looked at the dense marks on the ground, and said softly as if he was talking to himself: "It should be engraved on the ground...it should be engraved on the ground... There is no more stable and lasting way to record. After all, the spells will disintegrate and fail with the passage of time, and the storage device will become useless due to the period of civilization. Only these engraved on the ground can withstand the erosion of the longest years..."

"Record all of this," Gao Wen ordered in a deep voice, "Don't move anything here until the record is completed, so as to prevent this shelter space from collapsing and closing in advance."

The accompanying personnel immediately began to get busy, using the equipment brought by the trip to record the symbols and words engraved on the ground, and made several backups stored in the magic crystal on the spot. In addition to leaving magical images, several mage scholars also took out the enchanted parchment paper and quill pens they carried with them, and began to use the site shorthand spell to copy all the characters on the ground in thick scrolls. Without Gao Wen or Amber specifically reminding them, these scholars could understand the meaning of these characters engraved on the ground. Faced with a knowledge legacy that had been passed down to future generations seven hundred 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, Gao Wen and others took the initiative to leave the central area. They stepped over the ground that had been measured by Sir Scott for twenty years with his feet and slowly walked to the edge of the entire observatory. Philip looked up at the edge and watched the huge building fragments that had no gravity floating slowly rotated and ran in his sight. Beyond the fragments, there was a vast and endless illusion of illusion, which made him sigh: "It is really unimaginable to stay here for twenty years...."

"Fortunately there is a starry sky above their heads." Gao Wen looked up at the huge crack located directly above this strange space. Although he didn't know what the principle behind this crack, and how the two ancient Gondor magicians "introduced" the starry scenes of the real world into this shelter, he believed that this starry sky must have inspired Scott, Alphons and Bairro seven hundred years ago, especially when they knew that there were other civilizations that could be thoughtful and communicated among the stars, the cold starry light would also become the only comfort after the doomsday - because they knew that even though the world around them had fallen apart, the world was still full of vitality beyond light years.

"Speaking of this, you led the large army to pass by the Viplanton area, and you didn't find anyone else in this observatory at that time," Amber seemed to suddenly remember something and looked up at Gao Wen, "At that time, they probably had already been hiding in this shelter?"

"Even if they don't hide in this shelter, it's hard to meet us," Gao Wen shook his head gently. "Veplanton is not just an observatory, it is a large area, with large-scale towns and many research facilities, observatories, museums, warehouses, research institutes... The Gondor people have studied foreign objects here for many years. The observatory is only one of the core facilities here. For refugees who were in a state of escape and urgently needed supplies, the attraction of such an observatory is obviously not as good as the ruins of towns and imperial warehouses along the way."

"Extraordinary things..." Amber muttered thoughtfully, then turned his head to look at the "crystal block" placed on the center of the observatory. "If that's right, that thing should be the "extraordinary things" mentioned by Sir Scott. It can continuously release energy and maintain such a shelter in a different space for seven hundred years. That's an amazing thing. What do you think we should... deal with it?"

She was reminding Gao Wen, and also reminding Diana next to her - Sir Scott, not only the "knowledge" engraved on the ground, but also a tangible "item". The crystal block that was emitting a slight blue light was undoubtedly the key item that protected the observatory when the Deep Blue Well broke out. It was also the reason why the observatory was not attacked by various dangerous things in the wasteland for the next seven hundred years. Its value was self-evident, but how to deal with it was a problem that must be faced.

As a hard-core dog-legged on Gao Wen's side, Amber certainly hopes that this piece of crystal belongs to Cecil. After all, the entire Viplanton area is under the control of Cecil, and the observatory is also the first to discover it. The entire exploration operation is now led by Cecil. Adhering to the two principles of "everything in the wasteland is a homeless thing" and "first discovery and actual control", the relics found in this ancient facility seem to be owned by the original discoverer.

But to be honest... this thing is not really unparalleled.

Sir Scott said that the inheritance here was left for Diana, which is embarrassing - the heir is here now, and everyone saw the video record just now. You can't refuse to admit it with a shame, right?

After thinking about it, it was a confusing and troublesome account. After thinking for two minutes, Amber felt dizzy and finally sighed and muttered: "Oh, it's still easy to dig a grave..."

Gao Wen didn't hear Amber's mutter clearly, but he could guess what was going on in his mind. And on his side, he could even go around the confused account. The "meteorite rain" that fell in the Viplanton area was essentially a fragment of the space station that fell after Amoen hit the sky three thousand years ago. He, the "satellite spirit", is now the heir to the legacy of the setter. If so, is the slag falling from Cangqiu Station his thing? The Viplanton Meteorite rain caused considerable economic losses in the Gondor Empire. Is this responsibility Amoen or he Gao Wen bear? If Amoen bears it, then Amoen is now a senior consultant of the Empire, and his direct person in charge is Gao Wen, which is even more unrealistic. After all, although the Gondor Empire is gone now, there are still many descendants of the Gondor Empire...

This is a meaningless circle account. Anyone who feels that there are too many brain cells can calculate it. However, Gao Wen always feels that his brain cell loss is too serious, so from the beginning, he did not intend to spend too much energy on this confused account.

He owns a whole Sky Space Station, and soon he will start to repair and explore the Sky Station. In the long run, siren, dragon clan, elves, humans, these races must contact the Sky Station. Unless Gao Wen intends to fundamentally overturn his creed and code of conduct, he will not 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 touches the legacy of the setter in the sky, and then one day in the future, let himself slowly die with the races on the earth.

He needs to truly master the secrets of the setter and cannot re-take the old path of the anti-tide empire back then. He needs the world's intelligent races as their help. Through open, transparent and rational research and development rather than "elite contact, deification worship", he needs (at the same time, it is necessary) to let all the mortals on this planet break free from the shackles of the mind and step out of the cradle, because only in this way can he avoid the future of the silence of all things.

Then, the legacy of the Setter is destined to be hidden - in the past, when he was not strong enough, he had to hide things well, because many things were not under his control, but now, he has enough strength and the Cecil Empire has the ability to become the helm of this era, so he has to think about the problem in the way of "helder".

Therefore, the only thing he needs to ensure is to keep things under his own control - the research and exploration of Cangqiong Station must be open, but Cangqiong Station's authority must always be in his own hands. The mortal race on this planet will definitely rise and eventually step out of the cradle, but this process cannot be lost control. This is not only responsible for oneself, but also for those companions who follow themselves, trust themselves, and support their ideas.

As for the current "crystal block", Gao Wen also has this attitude: it doesn't matter who the crystal block belongs to, but knowledge belongs to everyone. After all, everyone has to develop it, and he also needs everyone to develop it. In the whole process, just ensure Cecil's research share.

He looked to the center of the observatory. The small square emitting faint blue light, as if a stack of multiple layers of crystals was particularly eye-catching in his field of view. He closed his eyes slightly again. The crystal block was still floating in his field of view, and a line of comments appeared around it - a damaged ion energy group, the key components were lost/tampered with, and it is not recommended to be recycled.

It seems that because Kassandra and Ashalina restarted some systems on Cangkong Station, Gao Wen's ability to control the space station was further strengthened. When he saw the crystal block just now, he noticed these additional "comment information".

He can now even directly sense the "existence" of the crystal block and vaguely sense the "energy trajectory" extending around it.

But that's all - he is not an expert in this field, and the authority of the setter cannot allow him to obtain corresponding knowledge out of thin air. He cannot understand the principle and control method of this crystal block, and probably he still cannot understand it if he gives him another hundred years.

But it doesn’t matter. There are many smart people in this world, and these smart people can be their help.

"Ms. Diana, this crystal is a 'relic' left to you by Sir Scott," Gao Wen opened his eyes and looked at the ancient Chinese girl beside him. "In theory, it should belong to you - but for the long-term development of the entire alliance, I hope we can share the possible mysteries in this crystal."

"I understand what you mean," Diana's expression seemed to have not changed. "Before leaving, His Majesty Rosetta also discussed this issue with me, about how the 'legacy' that might be discovered in the Viplanton Observatory should be allocated--specific items, we can slowly negotiate, only knowledge... knowledge should belong to everyone."

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

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