Chapter 1359 plan B
In Cecil City, the sunset had fallen below the horizon, and only a little brilliant golden glow was left over from the other side of the mountain. It passed the vast woods and river banks in the western region and then splashed on the roof of the city. After processing an emergency document just delivered, Gao Wen did not have much time to enjoy the magnificent scenery outside the window. He arranged for Amber to help with some less important work, and then sat down directly in the easy chair in the study, focused his energy again, and communicated with the monitoring system of Cangqiong Station.
After confirming the location of the expeditionary fleet, he did not tell others about this, but always maintained a shallow connection between himself and the Sky Station, paying attention to the movements and situations of Byron, and as soon as he had time, he would enter a deep link state, and use the optical sensor of the space station to directly confirm the situation of the Winter Number.
For a period of time, the Cold Winter and its fleet have been anchored near the sea platform of the track elevator. There seems to be no big noise, and the system of the Cangqiong Station has not heard any new noise after that. However, Gao Wen knew that Byron must be still exploring the track elevator platform. He is not a person who will stop in the calm sea and do nothing to waste time.
Judging from the current situation, Byron's exploration should not have triggered an "overreaction" from the Initiator's Legacy. At least the fleet was not attacked, and Gao Wen did not receive an invasion warning from the system.
"... Fortunately, Byron was the one who led the fleet, not Rebecca." While maintaining contact with Cangqiong, Gao Wen couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "If the iron-headed baby came over, he would be killed. When he encountered a door that could not be opened, he would rub a fireball as big as the city gate and smash it over..."
As soon as he was muttering like this in his heart, a sudden voice suddenly broke into his mind: "The visitor arrived at Cangqiong Station, and the guidance process could not start the interactive medium and was activated, and he was transferred to the backup process..."
Gao Wen was stunned. As soon as the thought of "What?" appeared in his mind, he felt a new information flow suddenly appeared in the depths of his consciousness. The information flow was complex, huge, and strange, but it was smoothly integrated into the original connection line between him and Cangqiong Station in an instant. His consciousness was guided forward in the darkness. Suddenly, he saw new colors and light appearing in the "view". The "limited bandwidth" when connecting to space facilities in the past few years seemed to have been widened a lot. Gao Wen's shock lasted only a few seconds, and then he "saw" the colors and light that appeared in his mind quickly stabilized, forming a clear picture:
In a dark space, he saw a woman with long black hair and a tear mole on the corners of her eyes suddenly approaching. She looked at the direction where Gao Wen's perspective was, and then pointed at her fingers. A slightly distorted voice came into his mind: "...Ashalena, come and see this... It's bright, it's bright! I poked it just now and it suddenly lit up! What should I do now?"
"What's the thing?!" Gao Wen was shocked when he saw that face appeared, and was shocked on the spot. He had been a satellite spirit for so many years, but it was the first time he saw an "outsider" when the system was connected. It felt like an old driver who had been driving a hearse for twenty years. Suddenly one day, the passenger pulled in his carriage and patted his shoulder. The shock in the meantime could probably make Rebecca, who could be described as "solid", stop his heart and lungs. It took him more than ten seconds to finally react and finally recognize the figure that appeared in front of him.
This is Kassandra, the chief navigator of the Imperial Expedition Fleet, an ally from the deep sea. She set out from North Port with Byron. In theory, why should she be here on the Winter now?!
Gao Wen's heart was shocked and gradually calmed down, and gradually adapted to this "new perspective" that had just appeared in the depths of his consciousness. He noticed that he seemed to be connected to a device with a camera. Around Cassandra's figure, he also saw a space covered by dim lights. Although the perspective is limited, the light is dim, it is still enough to judge that it is definitely not somewhere in the cold winter number.
He suddenly thought of the sound that sounded in his mind just now: the visitor arrived at Cangqiong Station and the interaction medium was activated.
His mood was very terrifying.
While Gao Wen was filled with slapping sounds, Cassandra in the camera was not idle. The Siren lady seemed to confirm that the equipment that suddenly lit up in front of her was not dangerous. The unique adventure spirit of the Siren race quickly gained the upper hand. The tip of her tail poked around the camera, as if testing the interaction method of the equipment in front of her. Then, another figure appeared in Gao Wen's field of vision. It was the red-haired dragon seal witch Asharena. The dragon-born lady first looked at Cassandra's poking and poking behavior with horror, and then reminded the other party to pay attention to safety while looking curiously in the direction where Gao Wen (the camera) was.
The conversation between the two came into Gao Wen's mind. First, Asharena's voice: "... Be careful! Don't accidentally activate the weapon system and other things, we are invaders..."
"We are not invaders. We are the 'visitors' who entered this space station according to the legal process. Didn't you hear the radio in the track elevator before?" Cassandra said with a reasonable reason. "And how could there be a weapon system in this kind of facility that can be activated with a disagreement, especially in this kind of traffic port that can be used to receive visitors at most and my operations will be blocked as illegal access. Oh, don't worry, we Siren built spacecraft, I am very stable..."
Ashalina seemed to be convinced, and her focus was on the device that had just begun to operate: "...what do you think this is?"
"It should be an operating terminal, but I don't know what it is for. It may also be a port query device after all, it is placed near the elevator entrance," said Cassandra. "Theoretically, something should be actively guiding us here, but the corresponding system is obviously broken, and the terminal doesn't respond much..."
"When we came up with the 'track elevator' before, we could still hear the radio... Maybe the ground and space parts of this set of things run separately?"
"It is possible that we have built something similar a long time ago. Of course, it is not as exaggerated as this ring, but at that time the space station and ground station we built in our hometown world operated separately..."
Gao Wen listened carefully to the conversation between the two ladies. Gradually, he finally figured out what happened, knew how they got up, what they did after they got up, and the process of activateing this "operation terminal".
It sounds like Cassandra's "poke" accidentally started an interactive terminal in the Cangqiu Station, and then the interactive terminal automatically points the data flow to the current "only permission" of the ring-orbit space station, which is its own side.
If this happens... Gao Wen suddenly unstoppably thoughts emerged in his mind, some... and some... to help him understand himself further and understand the legacy of the Settler in space.
He began to quickly become familiar with the new connections established in his mind, groping for the control method of this small "operation terminal", and looking for available parts in the limited new information that poured into his mind. After a long time of tossing, he finally made preparations and opened the interactive module of the operation terminal through the system background, saying to the two explorers far away in space: "Please follow the process to perform the following operations..."
Cassandra, who was just standing in front of the camera to study how to operate it, jumped out instantly, and her long tail became a spring in that moment, and she bounced out more than ten meters away in a "bang"!
"Tell me... I've been talking! This thing is talking!!" Cassander stretched out his finger and pointed at the operating terminal that suddenly made a sound. He exclaimed loudly, with his eyes wide open. Of course, Asarena next to her was also shocked and stepped back several steps on the spot, but she was not as shocked as a siren. After being shocked and nervous for a moment, she seemed to suddenly react: "Wait, Cassandra, do you think this sound... is a bit familiar?"
Kassandra: “…?”
Gao Wen: “…?!”
Is the acoustic processing function of this thing bad? Or is there something wrong with the operation method of temporary checking? How come this can be heard as soon as you open your mouth!
The unexpected small situation made Gao Wen a little confused for a moment, and Cassandra on the other side of the camera was not just confused after reacting. She quickly leaned over in shock, staring at the machine in front of her and saying to Asharena next to her: "I heard it. It was His Majesty Gao Wen's voice. Sure, the Siren will not hear the sound wrong! But why... "
Asarena's eyes fell on the terminal that was emitting a faint fluorescent light and constantly changing geometric figures were projected over the sky. No one knew what she had thought about in those few seconds. She finally spoke and broke the silence: "Your Majesty Gao Wen, are you talking?"
Gao Wen quickly calmed down. The small accident did not affect him for too long. Although he originally wanted to hide himself and pretended to be an ancient control system in the space station to guide the two ladies to try to activate and repair some systems in the cabin, but now the situation has changed, and it is meaningless to continue to force this operation. Making a reason that it is impossible to make up a mistake will make Cassandra and the others more suspicious and affect cooperation. It is better to plan B directly.
"It's me." Gao Wen said calmly and quietly.
He admitted his existence, and this might be a good thing. In this way, it might be easier for Asharena and Cassandra to cooperate. After all, they may have more concerns when facing the guidance given by an unknown ancient operating system. Moreover, if they disguise themselves as an operating system, it would be difficult for Gao Wen to guide them with a reasonable reason. "You go and poke the big red button next to see if it is bright" or "help see what is written on the street sign next to you."
And if the reasons are appropriate, revealing one's existence in front of Cassandra and Ashalina may instead create a more unfathomable image of an ally among the two groups of Dragonborn and Siren, and the benefits outweigh the risks.
"It's really you?!" Hearing a positive answer from the operating terminal, Asharena's eyes widened in an instant, "But...why are you..."
"You should know that seven hundred years ago, I once climbed a tower of the Departures," Gao Wen said in a calm and calm tone. "This is no longer a secret now."
"Ah, I know," Cassandra nodded immediately, "I was the way my sisters brought you..."
As she said, she slowly opened her eyes: "So, did you..."
“That exploration brought me more than an immortal soul and a resurrection seven hundred years later,” Gowan responded. “I have established an inseparable connection with the legacy of the Setter, which is much deeper than the world imagines.”
Asharena opened her mouth wide in surprise.
There is a certain connection between the ruler of the Cecil Empire, the hero of human development, and the legacy of the Settlement. This is not a secret between the upper members of Tarlond, the Duchy of the Holy Dragon and even many alliance countries. When exploring the tower near Tarlond and discovering the sentinel home port deep in the divine realm, Gawain had identified the ancient texts of the Settlement that only a few dragons knew. Therefore, a few insiders believed that Gawain Cecil entered the "Tao Tower" during the mysterious sea expedition seven hundred years ago and gained some knowledge related to the Settlement, which was also the biggest connection they could imagine.
But now Asa Lena knows that this "connection" is far from as simple as it appears.
She took a light breath and subconsciously looked around the empty and dim hall, looking at the ancient equipment that remained silent under the dim light, she thought of the magnificent rings she had seen in the rail elevator viewing cabin section, as well as the space buildings running on the track near the rings. A trembling feeling of suddenly coming into contact with a huge secret and learning the truth of history rose in her heart, making her voice a little unnatural when she spoke again: "So, you have always..."
"For many years, I have been overlooking the world," Gao Wen said the truth, but his "years" must be very different from what Asharena imagined. "I once told the world that after I died in battle, my soul floated among the stars and wandered over the world. This is a fact, but the real fact is a little different from the understanding of the world."
"So... your body is still on the ground now, but your consciousness can be projected here, and talk to us through the equipment in this space station..." Cassandra, who was beside him, also reacted. After confirming that he was an acquaintance, the Siren lady's courage was obviously getting bigger again. She leaned into the front of the camera and asked curiously, "You can see us too, right? Then can you see the fleet parked near the elevator base? Are you also controlling the satellites and space stations outside?"
