Xiling Empire

Chapter 330: Viska’s Abnormality

I looked at Huesca in surprise, surprised that the latter would suddenly offer suggestions, but the other party just blinked at me, showing the same confused expression as me: "I don't know why. I just thought it might be useful.”

"Okay, Sivis, do it."

"Yes, sir," Sivis agreed, and three seconds later he began to report the data he had retrieved. "Sir, we have retrieved a total of 12,488 star systems with 70% consistent shapes. Among them, there are 4,200 star systems... The coordinates are being corrected... The observation reference plane is set to the Earth's ecliptic plane, and there are 131 star systems that meet the requirements. The brightness correction and synchronous observation correction are carried out, and the stars can be The observation level is set to the highest level of human science and technology... There is no corresponding information, sir. At the current level of human space observation, these constellations are invisible or unrecognizable."

Although I listened to most of the words as if they were from heaven, at least the last sentence was still within the scope of my IQ understanding. In other words, based on the earth's ecliptic plane, these constellations do exist in the universe, but human beings Is technology still unobservable?

"Relax the conditions and set the observation level to Xiling Technology."

"Yes, sir... The observation level is set to Xiling Technology. There are 127 observable star systems left. The closest forms are being screened and eleven results have been obtained. Sir, do you need to share this information? ?”

"certainly."

I answered, and then I felt that a lot of knowledge suddenly appeared in my mind, all about the information about the eleven constellations, including their positions, member stars, brightness levels, formation time, etc.

Generally speaking, they used a lot of professional words that I couldn't understand and described a lot of professional knowledge that I didn't know, trying to make me understand some weird things that I couldn't understand at all...

To be honest, at this time, I started to regret letting Sivis share the information - isn't this something I can't live with myself? What if she asks me later what instructions I have after reading the information? This beautiful sister who seems to be conscientious has done this all the time. She can't admit again that the emperor has carefully considered it, read it painstakingly, turned the information over and over several times, and ended up confused. You don't feel ashamed, right?

Why do I have to say it again?

But this time I was lucky. Before Sivis asked me to give the next instruction, Huesca made a move. She lowered her head slightly and walked around the edge of the hexagram, showing a thoughtful look as she walked. , as if she was comparing the eleven constellations depicted on the six-pointed star with the information in her mind. After circling twice, she suddenly stopped, then leaned down and pressed her right hand on a Above the constellation of the Trident.

"naesaick...kaisosci..."

It was still the weird pronunciation that no one could understand. Like a little wizard, Huesca pressed his hand on the golden constellation pattern and muttered strange words that could never have anything to do with science. It makes me even begin to wonder if this girl is planning to betray the scientific camp and throw herself into the embrace of occultism - by the way, is it said that the Xiling apostle has the talent of baptism?

Anyway, that idiot Alaya can't even fly a single-soldier fighter. I guess the talent of the Xiling people cannot be focused on.

But I'm not too surprised that Viska knows these weird things. Due to that bastard's fate, this pitiable sister has experienced things that are more complicated and bizarre than any of us. She even She has lived in the abyss camp for tens of thousands of years. Although Viska has been vague about that time, I would not be surprised at all if she mastered some strange knowledge at that time.

Visca was still muttering something in a low voice. At first, nothing changed, but as Visca's speaking speed gradually became faster, I found that the constellation pattern on the six-pointed star was gradually getting brighter!

But just when I thought a colorful aperture with "XX Portal" written on it was about to appear in front of me or a white-bearded man who planned to give me tens of thousands of years of skill, the entire six-pointed star pattern suddenly went out, and even The few bits of silver light that wandered above it at first disappeared.

"what happened?"

I asked in surprise.

Viska flattened his mouth and said rather reluctantly: "This teleportation device is disposable, and even the destination coordinates saved in it will be deleted after use."

Does this mean that Artemis has completely disappeared from our enemy detection radar?

Sandora looked at the dimmed six-pointed star array and asked curiously: "Vesca, did you use magic just now?"

"No," Viska slowly shook her head, her red cat eyes carrying a sense of confusion that was no weaker than mine, "I don't know what it is, and I don't know when I mastered the ability... It's as if they have existed in my memory a long time ago. The Pandora series of machines should not have such abilities... Well, I can't remember..."

As Visca spoke, his little brows furrowed tightly, showing a look of trying to remember, but it was obvious that this memory was not the same as the biceps, and it could not be lifted by just exerting force. ——Speaking of which, even if Huesca exerts his strength, he doesn’t necessarily have biceps to lift up, right? In fact, it is already a very mysterious proposition whether Xiling Apostle has any power organizations such as muscles in his body, right?

Sure enough, it's too far gone.

"If you can't remember it, don't think about it."

Seeing Visca's expression of thinking hard but getting nothing, and anxious as if she was about to cry, I quickly patted her little head to tell her to stop tossing her already unstable thinking. Loopback - Thanks to the crazy mental state in the past, this girl's memory has always been very confusing. I estimate that she is the only Xiling apostle in history who can forget things.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Viska curled her lips and apologized with an aggrieved look on her face - by the way, does this require an apology?

"Sandora, does this one-time transmission device really leave no traces after being used?"

Of course I don’t want this operation to end in such an anticlimactic manner. It was so difficult to uproot the entire Olympus, but let the most suspicious guy escape at the last moment. I guess this kind of glorious history is enough for some evil prophet to People will talk about it in the next ten or twenty years, so this kind of thing must not happen! ! !

But unfortunately, even a genuine emperor like Sandora could only shake his head at this moment: "This plate obviously has an automatic clearing function. If even the coordinate information inside is cleared, then there will be no There’s a solution. According to the analysis of the residual energy stimulated by Viska just now, it’s possible that Artemis is hiding in any corner of the earth now… Wait, I remembered something.”

As Sandora spoke, she suddenly showed an expression as if she was recalling an important event, and then raised her index finger to touch her chin. This was an action she often made when thinking: "Do you still remember what Zeus said: '...Only one person can qualify to enter the divine realm...'"

"God Realm?" I repeated doubtfully, and then suddenly realized: "You mean, the destination of this teleportation array is most likely the so-called God Realm in Olympus? They claim to have revealed the final secret of the Great Temple. Did you finally find the method to activate this teleportation array?"

"No, that shouldn't be the case." Sandora shook her head and leaned over the hexagram pattern on the ground to touch it. "According to the analysis of radioactive materials, this thing should have been created less than a year ago, and the entire hall is obviously human." No one can understand the things they have created without understanding them, right?"

Having said this, Sandora raised her head: "In other words, what they called uncovering the secret of the Great Temple was not that they found a way to activate the space teleportation device, because they would have made such a device themselves. What they found should be the coordinates of the so-called God Realm, or to put it another way, the password to open the 'God Realm' or something like that. After all, that 80% is a certain Xiling ruins... Well, it might even be a The Xiling city left on earth in ancient times..."

"If Artemis really gets a Xiling city..."

"Almost as dangerous as Hitler being a time traveler."

"...That's really bad..."

"Let me think about it." Sandora put her index finger on her chin, with a serious thinking expression on her face, and next to me, the bored Pandora beeped again... This kind of need is complicated. Is the work of brain activity really irrelevant to this little idiot who only knows how to fight?

But just when Sandora didn't know how to start, Viska suddenly broke the silence: "I think... I know the rules of this teleportation device."

Noticing our probing gaze, Viska immediately waved his hand: "I'm not sure, but there seems to be something vaguely similar to this teleportation device in my memory. Olympus should be the thing that was imitated... Well, Sivis, can you go back in time? I want a map of the constellations on the ecliptic plane of the earth 770,000 years ago."

"Understood." Sivis in the base agreed, and in less than three minutes, the starry sky map that Viska wanted was deduced, which included all the stars that can be observed on the ecliptic plane of the earth. Detailed information, which even includes the operation of each galaxy in the next hundreds of thousands of years, can be completed in such a short period of time, such information that may require hundreds of years of hard work by all human scientists, needless to say, is Bubbles were stretched.

Viska squatted on the ground, pressed his hand on the surface of the trident-shaped constellation again, and whispered in a low voice. Of course, it was still the kind of short syllables that no one could understand.

This time, the constellation on the hexagram did not brighten again. According to Viska's explanation, this is a one-time transmission array that cannot be recharged. As the energy is exhausted, it is impossible to start again. Now Viska just needs to use its own structure to conduct some kind of reverse deduction. According to her explanation, this is because the way this teleportation array is constructed is very strange. All its functional modules are determined by those constellation patterns, and its operation The principle lies between mysticism and space technology. By changing the position and shape of those constellation maps, the purpose of activating or modifying the teleportation array can be achieved. If Artemis's destination coordinates leave any clues, It can only be calculated from the constellation pattern.

As Visca muttered, I was surprised to see that the golden constellation patterns that seemed to be fixed on the ground moved slowly. Their shapes changed according to certain rules, and gradually became an unrecognizable shape. After Huesca took his hand away, these constellations no longer looked like their original appearance at all.

"This is what the eleven constellations used to represent the sky looked like 700,000 years ago." Viska explained, "With the help of the power of the constellations, we can play a mysterious role in communicating, and we can create fictitious patterns in the sky on the ground. It can connect distant stars with the earth, and make the earth that was originally outside the circle become part of these constellations. This is the principle of this teleportation array."

...Are you really not an undercover agent of the magic side's powerful faction in Academy City?

Oops, have you made some random associations?

But even though I didn’t know anything about the occult knowledge that Huesca said, I still nodded: “Then what?”

I think Viska said these words not just to make me feel inferior in terms of knowledge, right?

"Then, there is an error." Viska blinked and pointed to the constellation pattern still moving slowly on the ground in confusion. "What is shown here is what we will see when we observe the sky from our current position. ——Of course, it was the sky 700,000 years ago, that is, the time when this ancient mother nest was first established. It is impossible for Olympus to research this mysterious magic circle on its own, which is completely blank in the field of human cognition, let alone They may have the knack of modifying the astrolabe, so if they want to use this teleportation array, they can only copy the ancient sky exactly. In other words, when Artemis activates the teleportation array, the stars The pattern shown on the astrolabe should be like this now, but there is an error... There is a very small error between the pattern shown on the astrolabe and the constellations observed on the earth today, 770,000 years ago. "

I nodded calmly and said to Sandora: "What does this girl mean?"

Sandora rolled her eyes at me, as if she was not surprised by my reaction, and then followed Visca's train of thought: "How big is the error?"

"If all interference conditions are eliminated, the error will be within one part in 2.2 billion."

I almost choked to death on the spot.

An error of one part in 2.2 billion? To me, that means there is no error. I think the error in answering questions in our math exams was around one-half...

Seeing my reaction, Viska explained: "Using the position of the planet for space transmission requires very high accuracy, and the principle of this astrolabe is to use the power of the constellation itself to draw, so in theory, There should be no margin for error in it.”

"Why don't you go back and ask the melancholy uncle named Zeus?"

I have no solution at all to this mysterious problem of high-tech heightening. After thinking about it, maybe the future philosopher named Zeus knows something.

However, Sandora could only shake her head at my suggestion: "That guy probably didn't lie. Since he said that only Artemis knows the specific method of entering the 'God Realm', then he must be the one to find him." It's useless, and Artemis is obviously the real controller of everything. Since she has a way to hypnotize five SSS-level superpowers, including Zeus, there must be a way to prevent the latter from knowing the secret of the astrolabe. It’s not even known that she has the ability to erase the opponent’s memory about this teleportation array.”

"It seems we have to find a solution ourselves."

I shrugged. There was nothing I could do about such a highly professional job.

Sandora glanced at the six-pointed star array that had completely dimmed, and said, "Actually, I just had a conjecture... Could it be that the constellation pattern displayed on this plate was not observed at our current location?"

Although I still half understand the use of constellations to communicate mysteries and the connection between constellations and other advanced things, I can still understand the general meaning of Sandora's words: "In other words, the constellation pattern drawn on this six-pointed star Maybe that’s not what was observed here?”

"Yes, the constellations in the sky are a three-dimensional structure. With different observation positions, the patterns they display will also change slightly, but such changes are too small. The distance between the earth and these stars It has become completely meaningless. However, if the longitude and latitude of the observation point deviates greatly, such deformation can also be measured. We have just fallen into a misunderstanding, always thinking that the star drawn by Olympus The benchmark point is on the Great Gosti Island Reef in the South Pacific. Now think about it, after 770,000 years, even the continental plate has drifted far away... God knows that this Xiling mother nest was at that time Isn’t it in the South Pacific?”

This time, without our instructions, Sivis had already started reorganizing the data. She built a model of the earth from 770,000 years ago, and then began to simulate which coordinates on the earth would be the same as the stars under our feet. The disk has exactly the same starry sky pattern.

"Report sir, there is no result."

In the end, what Sivis brought us was such a depressing result.

But at this time, Viska suddenly inserted into the public channel of spiritual connection with a very anxious tone: "What about outside the earth? Today, 770,000 years ago, at three o'clock in the afternoon... Earth There must be a place where you can see such a sky..."

"Viska...sir?" Sivis asked with an uncertain voice, but then the soldier's bounden duty to obey orders made her give up asking, and instead followed Viska's reminder to expand the scope of the simulation. .

It is necessary to simulate what the universe looked like at three o'clock on a certain day 770,000 years ago entirely through the calculation of data, and even to limit the error within the theoretical zero error range, such a calculation would be impossible. Bubbles also need a certain amount of running time. During this time, I asked about Viska's situation with concern. This girl has been in similar situations several times since she came to the island. In addition, her mental state has also deteriorated. There are good times and bad times, and this sister can be said to be the one that worries me the most.

But in response to my inquiry, Huesca was more confused than any of us - she didn't know why she suddenly had such an idea!

It seems that there is time to ask Paopao to help sort out Visca's memory system. God knows how many terabytes of junk data this girl has accumulated in her past crazy time!

"Sir, the simulation results are out!"

At this moment, Sivis's voice finally sounded, temporarily diverting our attention from Viska.

"On this day, 770,000 years ago, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the place where such a sky can be observed has been found - the moon!"
