Chapter 1573 Interstellar Spokesperson
The noise in the celebration square will last until the morning of the next day, followed by a few days of holidays and the coming warm seasons that people have been looking forward to. However, for some locations, holidays are always an unattainable thing, including Hetty, who has been working overtime for half a month, and Gao Wen himself.
In the study room covered with blue velvet carpet, Gao Wen was standing in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the distant night. The sky in the direction of the Pioneer Square was slightly white. It was the matrix of high-power magic crystal stone lamps floating in the air illuminated the light released by the entire city. Through a long distance and thick glass, he could not directly hear the noise in the square, but the noise was still transmitted into his ears through the magic net terminal on the table. In the slightly blurred noisy background, Veronica's voice came clearly: "... Judging from the data collected at present, the interception of the human body of the god and the dominance of the sacrifice ceremony will not have a negative impact on the priests participating in the ceremony."
"This is what we were most worried about at the beginning. After all, under normal circumstances, the sacrifice ceremony used the complete gods as the "Tao Mark", and now we have forcibly bypassed the divine part... Fortunately, the theory is not wrong, and the strong prayer power of believers is the key factor in the sacrifice process," Gao Wen sighed softly, "Tifeng and Baiyin also received feedback. The situation of the other two test sites is also in line with the prediction. More detailed on-site data will be transmitted to the headquarters of the Council in a few hours. I will trouble you at that time."
"This is my duty," Veronica said immediately, and then she changed her mind, "In addition, do you have any opinions on the last words of the saint of fertility...?"
Gao Wen was silent for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Because he felt the joy of God, he unconditionally performed their will, even if he had vaguely realized that behind this matter might point to a terrible result... He acted because of God's joy, restrained his thoughts because of God's joy, suppressed his curious instinct as a human being. In a sense, this rich saint can be called an extremely devout fanatic believer."
"The fanaticism of faith is diverse. Priests like the priest of the fertile Saint is not an exception. The more they can directly listen to the will of God, the more likely they will be to appear in this state under the dual effects of faith and emotion. There is even a special term for this theology, calling it 'spiritual gratitude'," Veronica said calmly, "This is actually a good thing. At least for our Ragnarok plan, a high-level clergy who is pious enough and able to ensure cooperation is essential."
"I believe in your judgment," Gao Wen withdrew his gaze from the window, walked towards the desk and said casually, "Belief, piety, firmness, is the right qualities of the priests. On this basis, they can cooperate with the actions of the Theocratic Council, which is a rare talent. In the next year, we will organize a series of sacrifice ceremonies, and the rich three gods will also have to 'replenish twice'. You must ensure that the priests involved can cooperate as steadily and firm as the saint."
Veronica immediately responded: "Yes, your majesty, I have confidence..."
Gao Wen nodded, then he didn't know what he thought of, and a smile appeared on his face and asked casually: "Don't you mind saying something off topic? I just listened to your chat. Did your body really make people around you nervous when you were in childhood?"
If you put this on a stranger, this is a bit reckless, but Gao Wen and Veronica are friends, or even confidants. It is nothing to ask a question during a chat. Moreover, it is mainly because Gao Wen is really curious that he has been dealing with Veronica for several years and has adapted to the other party's simulated personality and the fact that his body is a server array, so he forgot that this "saint princess" was actually taken over by ancient AI since she was born. When she heard the other party's conversation with the rich saint, he immediately became interested in Veronica's "childhood". How did the princess, whose body is super artificial intelligence, grow up in the human palace?
As soon as he spoke the question, the opposite side of the communicator was obviously silent. It took Veronica several seconds before speaking: "You can't realize now that I have experienced a complete childhood, right?"
Gao Wen: "…To be honest, I almost forgot this fact."
"… 'Veronica' also grew up as a child. As the descendant of the old Ansu royal family, I spent my complete childhood in Silver Castle. Even in my observations and travel records over the past hundreds of years, this childhood was a special and... precious experience," Veronica/Ophelia said calmly, "I know what you want to ask, I did not perform well in that 'childhood'. The maids who took care of me all thought I was a calm and indifferent childish child. Although the outside world left a statement that 'Princess Veronica has been smart and has amazing talent since childhood', in fact... I have many behaviors that do not match the identity of a child that scared the people around me."
Gao Wen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You have been traveling in the human world for centuries with various identities, and I thought you were already very good at playing various roles."
"I am indeed good at playing various roles, but..." Veronica paused a little awkwardly when she said this, and then said as if she sighed, "I really wanted to act not so weird at the beginning, but how to say it, for an ancient artificial intelligence, it is really too difficult to play a young human girl..."
Gao Wen's lips shook. Although the video transmission was not turned on, Veronica seemed to see the strange expression on his face at this moment, as if she was trying to explain something, and quickly added: "This is really, very difficult. You can't imagine what kind of logical action a girl aged three to six should take. I used all my computing power to simulate and could not understand the ideas of children of the same age. Why do I need to cry sometimes? Why do I need to laugh sometimes? Why do I scream at ordinary things? Why do I have to make friends with the little beetle and communicate with the doll before going to bed? I really can't understand... So I finally had to turn off the logic simulation, put myself in the room to calculate the spell model to pass the time, and then pretended to be asleep, hoping that my body would grow up quickly..."
Gao Wen was stunned: "...You started to pass the time by using the method of analytical magic models before you were six years old? And you often counted as unconscious? No wonder the people around you were scared by you. Even Rebecca tried to remove the beams from the age of seven..."
Veronica was silent for two seconds, sighing very humanely: "I will never start with a child again."
Gao Wen couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, and he could clearly feel that compared with the "personality" that appeared to be gentle, friendly, and actually cold and stiff when he first met, the words of this ancient disobedient leader are obviously much more like human beings. Her emotions are no longer entirely the result of calculations. The reasons behind this are diverse, but no matter what, this is always a good change.
And just as his conversation with Veronica came to an end, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the corridor, followed by a knock on the door and Hedy's voice coming into the study: "Ancestor, can I come in?"
Gao Wen glanced at the mechanical clock on the wall next to him, then ended the communication with Veronica, and said to the direction of the gate: "Come in."
The study door opened, and Hetty stepped in. She held a document in her hand. She came to Gao Wen's desk and said, "Ancestor, the regular communication between the Neuyan will begin in ten minutes. According to the schedule set before, you are responsible for this communication. This is the document you have asked for before."
Hearing Hedy's words, Gao Wen quickly rectified his thoughts.
Since Antavine completed the upgrade and transformation of the superluminal communication array, the communication between Loren and the Neuyi has been greatly improved. The Star Detective and Listeners working group of the Solin Command Center is now in three-line rotation to ensure that dialogue can be held at any time between the two planets. In this case, Loren and Neuyi still maintain the habit of "official communication" every two weeks to exchange information that is most important and requires group efforts to handle.
Two civilizations four light years apart have now exchanged a lot of information, including the experience of demon tide defense, the process of their respective beliefs, and the unique cultures of two civilizations and their way of cognizing the world. The Loren and the Neuyi people have established relatively stable ally relationships from "careful touch" at the beginning of contact, and in the whole process, more than half of the contacts were personally inquired by Gao Wen, or even conducted by himself.
A civilization that first established communication with aliens requires a unified "external caliber", and a spokesperson with decisive ability and corresponding authority. At least in the cultural context of the Loren League, this is an indispensable role, and on this planet, no one is more suitable for this position than Gao Wen.
He understands the knowledge of the setter, the mysteries of the starry sky, and at the same time understands the gods, and understands the order and rules of the world today. He has unquestionable authority in the entire alliance, and he also includes the craftsmen and executors of many savior plans such as the Ragnarok Plan and the Main Star Barrier Plan. When Loren stands in front of the starry sky stage as a "whole" and starts a dialogue with a group four light years away, he is the unquestionable speaker.
Gao Wen sat in front of the desk. The communication equipment on the table had switched to the corresponding route. The distant Solin Command Center and Anta Vision Array were ready before this. All the routes were clear, and only the countdown was gradually moving towards the agreed time node. Gao Wen's eyes swept over the documents that Hetty took for the last time. When he was about to see the end of the document, a rhythmic clicking sound finally sounded from the printing device next to him. The white paper tape slowly spit out from the machine, which showed greetings from afar:
"Nei called Loren and greet our friends if everything is OK?"
Gao Wen showed a smile on his face. He breathed a lightly and said directly to the communication device: "Greetings to Noi, we are all well, and I'm glad to receive your contact again."
The repeated exchanges between the two civilizations have accumulated valuable experience. The interpreters and listeners have now straightened out the workflow. After the translation and transmission mechanisms are optimized, the communication efficiency of both parties is much higher than before. There is no need to consider the order of each problem, no need to worry about the antenna system overload, and no need to wait for the command center to perform cumbersome translation, transcoding, back-passing and manual proofreading processes. Gao Wen talked to Noyen in this way. In addition to some translation delays, it felt similar to normal remote chat.
On the paper tape, Neuer's response was only a moment later: "We have received experimental data from Loren about the simulation of magic waves and protection verification. These amazing information has greatly inspired our society to express our sincerest thanks and praises to our friends. We did not expect that you have really done such an incredible thing."
Gao Wen's eyes swept over the documents Hetty brought. There was a part of it on it that was the last communication record between Noy and Loren, including an experimental record sent by the Loren Alliance to the opposite of the Star Sea.
That is the experimental result of the "artificial magic wave test" completed by Ophelia Matrix in the underground of the Talash Plain.
Gao Wen did not hide anything about this experiment that was of great significance to both civilizations. He told the Neuyi people at the beginning that Loren had successfully recorded the fluctuations of the demon tide and had the ability to reproduce and test it in the laboratory. Now, the Loren Alliance has fulfilled its bold words that day.
Judging from the reaction of Neuer, the effect of this force after successfully pretending to be successful is outstanding.
"I'm glad our experiment can help you," Gao Wen said calmly after a little consideration, "But we would like to remind you that the experiment was completed entirely in the environment of the planet Loren, and the possibility of errors in specific planetary environments is not ruled out. Therefore, we suggest that Neuyi also reproduce the experiment on his own planet to confirm the results. After this communication, we will send a supplementary document, including the original fluctuations of the magic wave recorded by Talash's laboratory and the construction method of the 'mistry star'. I hope this will be helpful to you."
After a moment of delay, the printing device squeaked out the paper tape: "I would like to express my sincere thanks to my friends again! We deeply understand the value of these original data and must be used properly."
Then the paper tape was outputted a short blank pause, and then Gao Wen saw another content printed out: "In addition, we are very concerned about the recent situation of the Loren Alliance. Regarding the "divine disaster" hidden danger mentioned in the previous communication, does Loren have any prospects to solve it? This hidden danger is really a huge threat. If you need help, we can set up a special consulting team to study this matter."
Looking at the contents on the note, Gao Wen was a little hesitant for a moment. He felt the frankness and concern that Noyer showed at this moment, but he didn't know how to explain the amazing Ragnarok plan with layers of protection. He was not worried that mentioning "Ragnarok" in the interstellar communication would trigger the alertness of the divine half of the gods, but the fact that "suffering bombs under the throne of the gods" was really shocking.
After careful consideration, he could only tactfully send a sentence in the end: "Thank you for your concern, but please rest assured that the gods are no longer a threat to us."
After this was sent, Noyi obviously paused for a longer time than before. After a long time, a piece of paper tape appeared in the printing device: "You will kill them all in a few days?"
Chapter completed!
