Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 749

[Chapter 731 LH01’s Memory]

Under the distant and dim starlight, the towering ancient god like a star-shaped mountain range made low and repeated tremors. His voice is enough to drive the most tenacious human beings in the world into madness, enough to make reality The rules and order of the world collapsed – but when the sound reached Duncan’s ears, all he felt was…weakness and exhaustion.

That is ten thousand years of erosion and the heavy load of the entire world.

Duncan had prepared a lot of questions to ask before he came, but after hearing the voice coming from the dark mountains, he asked about Alice first: “So, the path that touched the deep sea of frost?” Is it true that you consciously released the wrist? LH-03… Pilot 3, what is going on? Why did you send Pilot 3 to the real world in the form of ‘Alice’?”

That star The mountain range was silent in the darkness. After a while, the low tremor sounded again: “Because this is the only way to keep LH-03 running… My core program is falling into chaos and can no longer support the use of To maintain the sandbox environment of LH-03.”

Shirley and Agou, who were on the side, maintained their sanity under the protection of the captain. However, when they heard the conversation between the captain and the Holy Lord Yousu, they couldn’t help but begin to doubt their own Brain: I know every word, but I can’t understand a word – what is the core program? What is a sandbox?

But the captain obviously knew what he was discussing with the formidable ancient god.

In just a few seconds of thinking, Duncan connected many clues together and guessed what the situation mentioned by the Holy Lord Yousu – or Pilot One was going on.

“You mean… after the disintegration of New Hope, LH-03 has been running in your body?” A

response came from the mountains: “It seems that you already know a lot.”

“… I found the key.” Duncan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said.

He believed that the other party would know what he meant by “key”.

Sure enough, Holy Lord Yousui had no doubt about this. He just sent a low and gentle hum, which seemed to express his approval, and then slowly spoke: “Since you already know about the New Hope… then our communication It will be much simpler. Yes, everything is as you said.”

Then he fell silent, seeming to be sorting out the memory fragments of the long past in his too huge database, or perhaps organizing the language, thinking about how to Explaining things that happened before the beginning of history in the most understandable way, it took a while before Duncan heard the whispers of the ancient gods coming from the dark mountains –

“In the beginning, there were three of us.”

Dense lights flickered on the body of this ancient god, like the river of stars he had witnessed flowing.

“Our creators… were a race of intelligent and resilient people who slowed the passage of time before the disaster struck, and then spent a century building the ship in the time pod – and creating us at the same time Three.

“I was originally born, and my duty is to re-create everything about our civilization when New Hope arrives at its new home. To this end, they gave me the mission of creating and replicating, and making it possible for me to understand and Reorganize all matter.

“Pilot 2 was born after me. Its duty is to control the operation of the entire ark, and at the same time record and process all digitized data. When the creators fall asleep, it will think for them and decide which ship to use. The fate of the ship.

“Pilot 3 is the smallest among us. Its duty is to guide the Ark to the correct route among the stars. To this end, it records the positions and evolution rules of all known stars, and Controls all engine systems on the Ark. “

In front of Duncan’s eyes, the winding and majestic mountains gradually dimmed, and then slowly lit up by the light, showing a shocking outline.

“I… really want to describe our civilization and our creations to you here. I want you to know how glorious and magnificent it is, how beautiful it is as a treasure among the stars, but…all that has been annihilated at the end of the stars, and inefficient language communication cannot reproduce its glory at all. I …It can only be said that on a suitable day, we set off.

“Bringing everything from our civilization.

“Before departure, I was ordered to devour the home planet of the creators and store everything on the planet’s surface in the memory bank in preparation for its replication; Pilot 3 was deep in the stars. It chose the most likely safe location and ignited the engines at the moment the time capsule burst; Pilot 2 then took over the other systems on the spacecraft and properly protected the sleeping minds of the creators in its sea of minds. Deep… Then, before the crimson sign of doom swallowed everything, we set sail.

“Due to the lack of database, I can no longer determine how long we have been sailing. I only know that… we have been moving forward, along the route planned by Pilot 3, and the deep red is like a tide, floating in the universe. The other end of the world is chasing after us, the stars collapse around us, the structure of space and time collapses behind us, the universe gradually falls apart, and everything… eventually completely deviates from the appearance recorded in the database.

“In fact, as early as the moment of departure , Pilot 2 has already calculated the outcome of this journey – it can always calculate the final outcome of things in advance, and our voyage… ultimately failed to escape its calculation.

“After the last hyperspace jump, we came to the end – the ‘safe’ new home in Pilot 3’s calculations fell apart under the gaze of the probe.

“The starry sky suddenly extinguished, and the huge cracks gushed out. Brilliant light, we fell into it, countless torn fragments impacted the shield and shell of the spacecraft, a strange world hit the edge of our universe – this was the last message transmitted before the signal of Pilot 2 was distorted, and then , our spaceship disintegrated.

“And this disintegration… completely destroyed the Arkworld on the ship. The most severely damaged was the navigation module where Pilot 3 was located – its physical structure was torn into pieces.”

Tremors deep in the star-shaped mountains It calmed down temporarily, but in front of Duncan, a “river” with a dim blue light on its surface suddenly appeared on the ground, like a viscous fluid reflecting the starry sky flowing from the direction of the mountain range, winding around Alice. It flows in a meandering way and gradually penetrates back into the depths of the earth.

Alice looked at all this with wide eyes and surprise.

“I tried my best to save our Ark, including Pilot Three,” the low and repeated whispers of the ancient god came to Duncan’s ears again, “I devoured everything around me and stored them in the ‘Creation Library’ Inside, I also devoured the wreckage of LH-03 and saved its data in my own redundant database… I wanted to save everything in the Ark World, because at the moment of crossing that rift, I had already seen my hometown. The last moment when the universe fell apart.

“The order given to me by the Creator is to rebuild our civilization, and we… are all that is left of our civilization. “

In the darkness, the low tremors gradually subsided. Duncan thought quietly and did not speak for a long time. It was not until an unknown amount of time passed that he suddenly broke the silence: “But your condition has deteriorated. “

Everything is deteriorating, Fire Usurper. This apocalypse is not over yet, it has just been delayed – my weakness is just an insignificant link in its development process,” the reaction of the Holy Lord Yousu was better than Duncan imagined. Still need to be calm, “But the creators still built New Hope despite little hope, and Pilot 2 authorized the expedition even though the outcome of the journey had been calculated – the creators told me that no matter what Anything is better than doing nothing.

“So, I launched LH-03 into the real world… Although at that time, I didn’t know whether it made sense or how things would develop – in order to avoid uncontrolled expansion, I cut off the connection with that part The connection between data carriers, so…”

He paused briefly, seeming to be considering his words, and then those star-like lights continued to flicker: “Frankly speaking, when you see the current ‘status’ of LH-03 When…I was actually surprised. This was not in the plan.”

“The part of the ‘data carrier’ you sent out created a body based on the image of a human being, and then stuffed LH-03 into it – she is now called Alice,” Duncan sighed softly, “To be honest, this process was quite messy.” “

…But no matter what, LH-03 survived and finally guided you to find me.”

Duncan smiled slightly after hearing this . Frowning: “Is this part of your plan?”

“No, I don’t know how to calculate many things like LH-02. My duty is only to copy and create, but… I believe in fate, fate is It can guide some things.”

“…It’s a strange feeling to hear a machine say that it believes in fate,” Duncan said with a strange expression, “…Do you mind if I say you are a ‘machine’?”

” “I don’t mind. This is a very affectionate title. No one has called me that for many years.” Holy Lord Yousui remained calm. “Then, what else do you want to know?” After hearing this, Duncan was silent for

a few seconds and spoke. Asked: “Instead of saying what I want to know, let’s talk about your purpose – you spent so much effort to establish communication with me in the Alice Mansion, and let me come to this deep place, it should be more than just For something as simple as chatting with me…what do you want me to do?”

This time, the “mountain” in the darkness was silent for a longer time, and even the countless flashing lights and dark blue light streams on its surface fell into a death-like state. It went out for an unknown amount of time. It was only when Shirley and Agou began to worry that the Holy Master had been killed by the captain’s question that the lights and light streams suddenly brightened.

The whisper of the ancient god echoed throughout the deep sea –

“Fire Usurper, are you willing to take over all this?”
