Aldnan, in a magic laboratory on the upper floor of the Obsidian Palace, Rosetta Augustus's eyes were deeply attracted by the crystals that emitted mysterious and beautiful blue light in front of him. After staring for a few seconds, he took a breath and broke the silence with a low voice: "What a treasure as beautiful as a work of art... So, is this what the Gondor people said at the time 'extraordinary thing'?"

"Strictly speaking, it is one of the alien objects," Diana said with a calm expression. "The scale of the Vellandon meteorite rains is very large. Historical records show that at least double-digit pieces fell in the Viellandon area. Since the Gondor Empire's control over remote areas was not as good as that of the Sparks in the later period, many fragments were lost and flowed into the people after falling. They were secretly preserved by some secret schools and wizard groups. After that, Gondor's official intervention was established and a series of research facilities centered on the Viellandon Observatory was established before the fallen objects were further lost, which contained all the remaining pieces - the one you see was just one of the "Extraordinary objects" that Gondor officially contained."

"Is it one of the things outside the sky... Cecil sent a message saying that these things outside the sky are related to the civilization of the setter. The ancient civilization left a large number of 'space facilities' on our planet. The so-called things outside the sky are the fragments that fell off from these facilities," Rosetta said thoughtfully, with a glimmer of knowledge flashing in his eyes. Over the past few years, he found that his curiosity seemed to have returned to his youth. Incredible new things, new realms appeared at an unprecedented speed, and even gave people a feeling of overwhelming response. The source of these things seemed to be more or less related to the new empire in the northwest direction. "It's really incredible. Just above our heads, there are so many secrets..."

"His Majesty Gowen Cecil has a very strong relationship with the legacy of the Settler. Judging from the historical records and the information currently leaked, he had established a mysterious connection with the ancient devices located in space seven hundred years ago, and drew some kind of 'wisdom' from the legacy of the Settler," Diana said quietly. "And I think the connection between him and that ancient civilization may be more profound than all the information currently revealed."

"This is certain. If we can understand the details of Gowen Cecil by collecting intelligence alone, he will not be the most powerful and respectable opponent and friend of the Tifeng Empire in history," Rosetta Augustus suddenly laughed and shook his head and said, "There must be many secrets between him and the Settler's legacy, and those parts that he does not want to be disclosed to the public must not be found out through any intelligence means - but this is not important, what is important is in front of us."

His eyes fell on the crystal block as beautiful as a work of art on the table, and his voice was low.

"He had so generously asked you to take the item away--though this crystal was indeed a personal 'relic' left to you by Sir Scott, we all know that he had a hundred suitable reasons to ignore this, but he still asked you to take it away. This only means two things: first, compared with the legacy of the Settler he had already mastered, the value of this crystal was insignificant, far less than a favor, and second, compared with the goal he really sought, the meaning of possessing such an item is insignificant..."

Rosetta Augustus reached out and picked up the chunk of crystal that was emitting a glimmer of light. Feeling the slight heat it conveyed, the ruler of Tifen thoughtfully.

"Joint research, knowledge sharing, and serving technology to the world is a great slogan, and not just a slogan - to this day, many mediocre talents still regard the "Community of the Destiny of Mortals" proposed by Gauven Cecil at the 112 Conference that day as a high-sounding concept of winning over power, just like the legendary great scam that transformed into the golden mountain of gold in front of the foolish king Cronosoro, but looking at the vast fronts in the wasteland today, no matter how stupid a person is, he should realize that the "alliance" is not an illusory mountain of gold..."

Diana looked into Rosetta's eyes: "Your opinion on opening a joint research project is..."

"Of course I agree, and very much," Rosetta seemed to have planned it, and immediately said when he heard this. "It just so happened that the 'gate' project on the Chamberg has entered its later stages and no longer needs such a large-scale maintenance team. We can negotiate with the Cecils and start a joint research on 'extraordinary things' in Chamberg, which will save the cost of personnel transfer and repeated construction. And we have to do more than that."

He put the crystal block back on the table, leaned back on the back of the chair, with a deep eyes: "From now on, we will gather the best theoretical scholars and research masters of the Empire, especially talents in the fields of energy, machinery and astrology to form a special team to study and analyze the legacy of the Settler, which will be directly funded by the royal family. After Master Windsor Mapel completed the work of the "Gate" project, she will personally serve as the leader of the new team."

"Is this team working with the Cecils to jointly study the 'crystal blocks'?" Diana subconsciously glanced at the crystals on the table, but she also felt keenly that Rosetta's intention was more than that.

"It is to study bigger things," Rosetta Augustus laughed. "Gowen Cecil so generously asked you to take this crystal, which means that the 'great gift' he prepared for this world is far more than this crystal. I think the world will soon usher in some major change that is no less than the 'magic revolution'. Perhaps... he is ready to turn his eyes to the stars, so we must also prepare one step faster."

...

In the confidential conference room deep underground in the capital of the Cecil Empire, bright magic crystal lamps illuminated the huge room. Gao Wen, Hetty, Amber and others were sitting around the huge round table in the center of the room, and there were many seats next to them with clear holographic projections floating. Carmier and other people who could not attend the meeting in person were now appearing in this special room by remote connection.

In the center of the huge round table, there is a large magic net terminal. The images above the terminal are now showing a large number of neat and dense characters, which are recorded from the shelter of the Viplanton Observatory.

The sound of pushing the door and footsteps came from the direction of the entrance. Gao Wen looked in the direction where the sound sounded and saw Veronica holding a platinum scepter walking into the room. The "Saint Princess" glanced at the figures and holographic projections around the round table, and showed a slightly apologetic expression on her face: "Sorry, I'm late - I was dealing with the affairs of the Holy Light Church just now."

"It's only a few minutes late, it's okay," Gao Wen nodded and signaled the other party to sit down. "Patriarch Wright personally seizes the wasteland, and most of the church's work is the responsibility of the sect and you. It's normal for you to be busy recently."

Veronica nodded slightly. The faint light released by her side made everyone at the conference feel relaxed and slightly excited. At the same time, she also looked up at the holographic projections floating in the center of the conference table. After scanning the ancient Gondor and alien words, she looked at Gao Wen: "I have heard about the general situation from Miss Amber. It is said that you have found important research materials and ancient relics at the Viplanton Observatory, but I have not yet understood the details."

"I was about to talk about this," Gao Wen coughed lightly, looked up at the entire venue. Those who could sit here were the most core and reliable groups of people in the empire (he privately called this group of people "inner ring members"), so he did not hesitate at the moment, and directly revealed his experiences with Amber at the Viplanton Observatory. "We found information about these 'alien signals' at the Viplanton Observatory, and the person who left these materials was the director of the Observatory seven hundred years ago, Sir Scott Plantin..."

In the next half hour, there was only Gao Wen's detailed voice in the conference room. He explained his experience in as concise language as possible and brought all the details. The participants listened to the whole process. The valuable information left by Viplanton Observatory and the admirable persistence of Sir Scott, Grand Sir Alphons and others was enough to touch everyone. Even the most heartless amber and Rebecca (remote attending the meeting) who had a serious and solemn expression throughout the process.

Gao Wen's story finally ended, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and then slowly stood up: "Before entering the formal speech and discussion, I hope all of us can pay tribute to the scholars who are sticking to the Viplanton Observatory. They have left a legacy for the world that is enough to forge the future. Their achievements and honors should be recognized and should last forever."

As Gao Wen finished speaking, every figure at the round table stood up, and they bowed their heads silently, paying tribute to the great people who had passed away.

After a brief greeting, figures at the round table sat back, and Gauwen's eyes fell on Veronica first, looking at the former member of the Gondor royal family (although she is now using a body with Moen's blood): "We don't know much about the Viplanton Observatory. Do you know anything about the research Sir Scott and the others?"

"The research on astrology and space fall objects in the Viplanton area and the plan for disobedience were not in the same system - at that time we didn't know the connection between the 'stars' and 'divine disasters'," Veronica spoke softly, "so I'm not very clear about the things that happened in the Viplanton Observatory, but I did hear that the Viplanton Observatory reported an incident about listening to unknown signals from outside the earth. This was handled by the Empire's Higher Astrology Association at that time. In theory, such discoveries should be paid attention to by the academic community, and calls from the stars...even in the Gondor era, this could cause huge turmoil in the academic community."

When Gao Wen heard this, he frowned slightly: "You used 'theoretical'...so, this incident actually didn't cause much response back then?"

"Do you remember the details mentioned by Sir Scott in his message?" Veronica lowered her eyelids slightly, "The capital's investment in the astronomical field has tightened, and a large number of talents have been transferred to other fields. The staff of the Viplanton Observatory are nervous..."

"I do remember," Gao Wen nodded, and recalled the disobedient plan at the end of the Gondor Empire and the "little demon wave" that broke out soon afterwards. Some speculation gradually emerged in his mind, "That time should have been the end of the Gondor Empire, so the reasons for investment tightening and talent transfer should be..."

"The disobedience plan is at a critical stage, and the God-Infernal Project has made great progress," Veronica nodded slowly, affirming Gao Wen's guess. "Frankly speaking, it is not a wise move to reduce investment in the astronomy field. I am also a researcher. I am very clear about the meaning of turning my attention to the starry sky, but we still made this decision back then, because compared to the starry sky research that has not yet seen the results, we must first consider how to survive the magical disaster and the demon tide, but..."

Speaking of this, Veronica sighed softly, she shook her head, and her tone was somewhat self-deprecating: "But now it seems that our efforts have not allowed most people to survive. We have no idea of ​​fighting the divine disaster, and our understanding of the demon tide is also outrageous. The plan of the gods and the plan of disobedience failed to save the empire. In contrast, Sir Scott and the others have achieved the final result in a wasteland."

"You can't say that," Gao Wen shook his head, "No one has the ability to predict the future. In my opinion, the greatest significance of the old plan of disobedience is not the actual results achieved, but the fact that you raise the flag itself, and in the long run, the residual influence of the plan of disobedience has indeed loosened the connection between the mortals and the gods... although it did not work as you originally expected."

"The problem now is that the information left by Sir Scott..." Herty's voice came from Gao Wen's left. "This basic 'dictionary' will help us understand the messages sent from distant stars. Master Carmier and I both believe that the research and study of these words should be immediately started, and the information received in the past two years should be deciphered. At the same time, the breakthrough of information transmission and reception technology will be carried out to prepare for interstellar communication. But on the other hand, the battle we are in the wasteland is becoming increasingly fierce. At this time, a 'crystal block study' jointly conducted with the Tifeng Empire is destined to occupy a large amount of resources and manpower. In addition, a 'interstellar exchange' project with unknown cycles will...

She spread her hands and shook her head helplessly: "After all, we can only receive these signals now. Even if we complete all the deciphering, there is no way to establish communication with alien civilizations. No one knows how long it will take to study the corresponding transmission technology - not to mention that the risks in this need to be handled with caution."

Although Gao Wen was really concerned about the call from the other side of the stars, he had to admit that Hetty's consideration was very reasonable. Establishing communication with alien civilizations is not as simple as "a two-talking voice when you meet". This involves huge technical support, social preparation and unpredictable risks. Even if you don't consider the risks, the most embarrassing question is first in front of the alliance:

How can this signal be sent out? If the signal cannot be sent out, how can we talk about establishing interstellar communication?

Nowadays, the Loren races do not have the ability to communicate with each other...Tallond had pointed out the technology tree in this regard, but Tallond's technology has been completed. The Siren's spacecraft also has antennas for communication, but God knows when that thing will be repaired...

"First do the most basic work," Gao Wen nodded, "First translate the ancient Gondor language in the material into modern human and elves common languages ​​(the two official languages ​​of the Alliance), and then write a complete dictionary available to translate all the signals we have received at this time - although they are likely to be still basic alphabets, they may also contain some useful information..."
