Sword of Daybreaker - Chapter 1497 Home planet barrier

Of course, small-scale hydroponic farms and circulating water purification systems cannot be used to satisfy the daily operation of a large-scale doomsday shelter, but the experiments conducted by the Cecils in the Kingdom of God of War at least prove one thing if it takes more than a year Time to prepare slowly, then mortals can achieve a certain level of food and drinking water production in the God of War, which is enough to reduce the supply pressure in the refuge and allow the limited-scale "Sanctuary of the Gods" to accommodate more residents .

In this way, although the two plans of the Dragons are not comparable in scale to the elves’ “Gondor Refuge” plan (or called the house-changing plan), as long as they are implemented at the same time, they are still sufficient to meet the needs of the world’s refuge. The Talrond Great Shield is still the peculiarity of the kingdom of God itself, and its reliability exceeds that of the sentinel tower that has been in disrepair for a long time and has been severely damaged.

At the same time, if the two refuges can be activated smoothly as described by Herragor, this is more or less a "backup", although it is still not as good as the "Refuge Metropolis Group" of the Typhon Empire. A lot of safety redundancy, but at least it won’t cause the entire civilization to disappear just because a refuge is broken down.

In Gao Wen's view, the idea proposed by the Dragon Race may be regarded as a "hybrid upgrade" of the two plans of Typhon and the Silver Empire. It also has the reliability and redundancy characteristics of the refuge metropolis and the Gondor. The sheer size of the shelter, and to a certain extent, made up for the biggest shortcomings of the two plans. This is almost the closest to perfect plan that Gao Wen has heard so far.

The only problem behind these plans put forward by Herragore is that there is great uncertainty in the realization of all processes. Apart from theoretical support, no one knows whether the field of the unity of mind can really be connected to the Tarrond University. The shield replaces the position of the original god. Although it is not advanced to the target sentinel tower, it has realized the connection and compatibility with the neural network. In this respect, measured data is available; on the other hand, no one is available. I know whether it is really that safe and reliable to let the kingdom of God be used as a refuge. After all, in the field of "gods", mortals still know very little, and the plan of the "God of Gods Refuge" is based on old data and theoretical deductions. On the basis of...

But in any case, Gao Wen knew that these were the best solutions they could come up with in a short period of time.

Faced with the heavy pressure of survival, the wisdom and will of mortals were stimulated. Behind these grand plans, not only the figures around the round table, but also the number of dedicated scholars, they plan carefully. Considering all the resources, technology, and the few time costs in the hands of mortal nations, and at the same time, under the pressure of the countdown of the approaching demonic wave, within the framework of limited time and resources, we will try our best to strike out a civilization that can survive. The law of asylum coming down.

They have to make too many choices in this process. These choices may be the decimal point behind a certain resource, or a list that needs to be adjusted. In the final analysis, they are hundreds of millions of lives and stretches for hundreds of millions. Years, even millions of years of civilization.

Should we choose to sacrifice the majority of the people to ensure the absolute safety of the remaining half of the "lucky population", or choose to increase the risk of the shelter being penetrated to protect all our citizens, or choose to choose unverified and unproven Definite technology, hope that everything goes as smoothly as theoretical deduction, to achieve a happy ending of "all needs"?

No matter which option you choose, it has gone beyond personal desires and interests, and even the concept of gains and losses for a country and a clan, and the final result of these options... At least one thing is for Gawain to be sure, even if they choose here today If the wrong path is taken, there will probably not be any historians in future generations to comment on the merits and demerits of today.

Now, all eyes around the round table finally fell on Gawain's side.

Although the leaders of the most powerful countries in the alliance and the most outstanding scholars among the mortals sitting here at the moment, they have all stood at the apex of their respective fields in the real world, but in this vast sea of ​​pure white flowers, here Beside the small round table, they still acquiesce that Gawain, who sits silently at the table, is the "core" of everything because he is the convener here and the founder of today's world order.

"We want to hear about Cecil's plan," Bersetia looked into Gawain's eyes. "You should have your own plan, too."

Gawain groaned for two seconds, and when he raised his head again, his eyes became firm as steel. "You may feel surprised that Cecil's plan is still the "Mother Star Barrier"."

As soon as this statement came out, the round table was quiet for an instant. The leaders looked at each other, and the scholars behind them were also in awe. It seemed that no one expected that after all these plans were thrown out and discussed for so long, Gao Wen ·The last plan proposed by Cecil actually returned to the original point. Rosetta Augustus was the first to speak, "The mother planet barrier is something that cannot be achieved with current technology... You mean, Cecil Is there a way to solve this problem?"

"With the current technological strength and resources of the alliance countries, it is really impossible to build a home planet barrier from scratch within a year and a half, but we may not need to'start from scratch'," Gao Wen scanned his eyes. After passing everyone, he said in a deep voice, "We actually have a'semi-finished' home planet barrier, have you forgotten it?"

"Semi-finished home planet barrier?" Rosetta was taken aback, but quickly reacted, "You mean... the one that the sentinels and all creatures would want to engage in..."

"Yes, it is exactly the sentinel's plan to use rune stones to'domestic' planets," Gawain nodded lightly, "By transforming and draining the dark blue nets of the planet itself, using rune stones as control nodes to build A force field that can cover the world...The essence of this plan is actually to build a home planet barrier, and it is also a home planet barrier that is better and stronger than the technical indicators proposed by the Noi in the blueprint."

"Wait, isn't this a kind of doomsday weapon?" Great Astrology Master Vilania didn't seem to react at all. "Once the deep blue network erupts, the entire planet will not be enveloped in a deadly energy storm. What..."

Gao Wen raised his hand and interrupted the Great Astrology Master. His expression became solemn. "Madam, this is where the fallacy lies. Strictly speaking, it is'The Sentry wants to use the Mother Star Barrier as a doomsday weapon', and It’s not that “the mother star barrier itself is a weapon of doom”, this is also a misunderstanding that most people are accustomed to. This point was even discussed when the war was not over. The runestone dropped by the sentinel is in the Voyager technology system. Will it be just a kind of environmental modification equipment..."

Verania showed a thoughtful look, and Bersetia reacted because of this, she herself had discussed with Gawain, and she had been paying attention to the rune stones left by the sentinel in the deep blue net. "You mean, it has been confirmed that the control system built by the sentry in the deep blue network can be harmless, and we can control it?"

"It has not yet reached the level of complete control, but the progress is smooth." In this special venue, Gawain did not hide anything. "Cecile has been cooperating with Deep Blue Well and the Deep Sea Kingdom. We have received sentry and everything. The technology left behind after the death will die. Although this point is not fully disclosed, everyone at the upper level of the alliance should be aware of it. So far, we have cracked part of the basic agreement between those runestones and renewed it through several key channels. Most of the runestone nodes have been linked, and the subsequent instruction deciphering and authority replacement work is underway, especially in terms of instruction deciphering. I have some unique advantages here."

When he said this, he raised his finger to his head, and the people around the round table quickly showed a sense of awe. Today, at least between them, between Gawain Cecil and the legacy of the sailor. The connection is no secret anymore.

"At present, Deep Blue Well is responsible for the specific deciphering and takeover work. The Deep Sea Kingdom is continuing to find and locate those nodes in the Deep Blue network that are still out of connection, and continue to drop signal repeaters to enhance our overall system. Control," Gawain continued, "In fact, we don't need to control all the nodes, nor do we need to decipher and take over the entire system left by the sentry. After all, we don't intend to permanently destroy the world like the sentry.

"At present, it seems that only two-thirds of the nodes need to be mastered, and a few key system permissions are enough to start the'Home Star Barrier', and this work is completely expected to be completed within a year..."

"But what if the number of nodes is really not enough?" Rosetta frowned. "As far as I know, many of the nodes dropped by the Sentinels have been sparsely destroyed by the Krakens, and some were dropped before they had time. The coalition forces intercepted it. Although your progress in restarting the missing nodes is very smooth, what if we find that the number of nodes in the dark blue network channel is not enough to build a home planet barrier? At that time, we should have no chance anymore. Going back."

"It's very simple. Even a bunch of cultists can build the Rune Stone. Why can't we?" Gawain opened his hands. "The Sea-Monsters have completed scanning and slicing all the salvaged nodes in the past few months. By comparing and restoring data, they successfully recovered the complete blueprint of the node runestone. In a sense, we should thank the Sentinel. In order for the cultists with limited skills to be able to help themselves, the blueprint of the sailor was compared. Complete transformation, the structure and processing requirements of those nodes are not difficult in the eyes of the magician technicians.

"So, if the runestone nodes in the deep blue network can't meet the minimum startup requirement of the home planet barrier, then we will create new nodes to make up for this number. Of course, it is best to use the number of existing nodes. After all, it is necessary to create new nodes. The cost is not low."

"That is to say, not only can we use the'legacy' left by the sentry to activate the home planet barrier, but this technology is also controllable and replicable from the basic blue layer surface," Barroger, who had never spoken much, suddenly Said, he stared into Gawain's eyes, "We can fully understand the structure of these things and analyze the principles of them, and Cecil is already doing this, right?"

"Yes," Gao Wen nodded. Of course he knew why the dragon leader in front of him would specifically emphasize this point. "I don't like mysterious and uncontrollable things, although many people think that the mysterious ancient heritage will be very Grade', but I prefer to use blueprints to explain things clearly. They can be produced and reproduced in the factory, and they can be put in the laboratory for research and discussion. This kind of things can be used with peace of mind."

"If this is really possible...then the home planet barrier does have an unquestionable advantage," Rosetta squeezed her chin, her face solemnly pondered, "In terms of reliability, anything we make is probably better than However, a mother planet barrier that relies on a planetary power system to support is “sturdy”... Or in other words, if even the mother planet barrier is penetrated, then whether it is the refuge metropolis or the Gondor barrier, Tal Lund's Great Shield is also the same as paper;

"From the perspective of the size of the'refuge', not to mention, the home planet barrier can of course ensure the safety of everyone... In fact, apart from the need to maintain the protection system to operate, the lives of everyone in the world will not be affected by the demonic wave at all. , Production does not need to be interrupted, social structure does not need to be changed, there is no supply crisis, and there is no need to worry about chaos in the refuge state..."

"Yes,'production under the barrier as usual' is actually a very important point. In a sense, maintaining the production order actually ensures the'disaster tolerance' of the mother planet barrier," Gao Wen nodded slightly, " Because all production and research work is going on as usual, we have the opportunity to respond even in the event of a crisis. Even if the nodes in the network are damaged, we can directly start the factory to build a few new ones and replace them. Other parts are malfunctioning. We can also think of ways to repair, think of ways to organize manpower to research, and solve as long as the entire barrier does not collapse in an instant, we all still have a chance.

"Considering the size and strength of the entire Mother Star Barrier, if there is something that can cause it to collapse instantly... then we can be considered dead without complaint, right?"

Gawain’s words obviously touched everyone, because what he pointed out was the pain point that all "refuges" could not avoid. When an accident does happen, whether the people living in the "refuge" still have their own destiny. Have a trace of control?

The smaller and the thinner the shelter, the more you have to face this "cavity dilemma". There is no way to hide, no one can avoid it, no matter how great the ability is, it can't be used, it can't cope with it, and the narrow shelter. It is a shell, but this shell can only make the people in it feel deeply uneasy, and feel a strong sense of powerlessness when the accident occurs, because in a narrow "shell", you have no way to fix your refuge. So, you can only watch it collapse.

And under the barrier of the mother star, the alliance nations will retain all the social production and research capabilities, even if an accident occurs, the trapped beast still has a fight and will do it all.

Of course, as suggested by Gawain’s last sentence, even if the "Mother Star Barrier" is really built, even if the trapped beast really retains the opportunity to fight with all its strength, accidents may still occur, and perhaps it will happen. A situation that is still irretrievable with the efforts of all mortals... But if that day does come, at least civilization will stand and die.

"Perhaps one day, all our efforts will not be able to save our civilization. Perhaps even the mother star barrier has failed to stop the doomsday. Perhaps after that day, there will be no tombstones belonging to Loren left in the stars. Anyone will remember that civilization once existed this season. "After a brief silence at the round table, Gawain broke the silence. He stood in his place with his hands propped on the table. "But I hope that at least that day will come. , We are qualified to make a brief summary of the path we have traveled. We have tried our best rather than we could have done better.

"So, I choose the home planet barrier, rather than any form of refuge, this can at least give us a chance to do our best."
