Sword of Dawn

Selena nodded lightly, and did not dwell on this topic. Instead, she looked up at the servo brains soaked in the container, and seemed to be lost in thought for a while, until a few seconds later, Viscount Luo Penny's The voice came again: "In fact, there are still many people who are confused about these servo brains. The main reason is that people always think that these artificial brains can think like humans, especially when they see their 'alive posture', this kind of feeling seems to be The feeling of facing an intelligent individual is particularly strong..."

Selena turned her head and glanced at the female consul with a half-smile: "Are you included among these people?"

Luo Peini was expressionless: "I am a mage, I only believe in the data obtained from research, and I don't care about this kind of bias based on intuition."

"Ms. Consul, even mages will be shaken when they see these cutting-edge technologies for the first time. There is nothing embarrassing about it," Selina smiled faintly, "Any new technology will always cause such and such Worry, and in fact they do have various hidden dangers - there is no absolutely safe technology in the world, only continuous stringent security measures, and the cost of trial and error to obtain these security measures.

"Servo brains will not be as intelligent as humans. Although they are an important part of the 'intelligent era' planned by His Majesty, the 'intelligence' of these brains is not the same thing as ordinary people understand. Their Nerves cannot produce complex thinking processes from the physical structure, but can only handle heavy data calculation tasks. Of course, they also have some basic thinking activities, such as eating and...cooperating with your physical training, etc., but this kind of thinking Activities are closer to animals than humans.

"In the end, Ms. Archdruid Bertila didn't design a foundation for these brains at all, and she didn't leave room for them to rely on reproduction to seek genetic mutations, so don't worry, they are just more advanced tools... ...perhaps consider it a loyal 'animal companion'?

"However, as I said just now, there is no absolutely safe technology in the world - no one knows what kind of problems these servo brains will have in the future, and the impact they will have on society after their large-scale application is difficult. It is estimated that, just as magic technology changed our way of life, these servo brains will definitely have similar impacts and changes, and this is what government administrators like you and technicians like me must face together Problem."

"Your statement is exactly the same as His Majesty's." Viscount Luo Penny shook her head with a smile. "That's how he described the problems we faced in our development."

"I'm a loyal reader of "The Holy Words of the Emperor," Selina suddenly blinked, "I've read every volume."

Then she waved her hand, and instead of letting the topic slip in this direction, she raised her head and pointed her chin at the "mastermind" who was on standby: "I already have a general understanding of this system--now we should Waking up this sleeping...friend as planned?"

"Of course," Luo Peini immediately returned to the state, nodded with a serious expression, and then instructed the management staff beside her, "Ring the bell and notify everyone to enter their posts."

A moment later, a sharp and rapid bell rang in the factory area, and workers and technicians who were already ready came to the workshop one after another—even though the control of the wetware host can greatly improve the efficiency of the production process and reduce the number of operators in many positions, However, this system still needs human assistance and supervision. In addition, the system is currently in trial operation, so a certain number of operators are still needed in the workshop.

A window was opened in the middle of the "wetware control tower" in the depths of the workshop. Luo Peini and Selena stood in front of the window and watched the situation in the workshop. They saw that the personnel were all in place, and signals of readiness came from everywhere. Behind them, the technical director came to the main brain's console and pulled down the black lever in the center.

A series of bubbles rose from all the containers, the runes flashed between the base and the pipes, and the sleeping mastermind was instantly awakened. These loyal control units thought about it carefully, and then—the whole workshop came alive .

In Selina's field of vision, she saw that the rivers of thinking that were originally flowing quietly suddenly became extremely active, and the continuous pulses of thinking flowed around along the nerve cords all over the workshop, just like an originally dim network. It was suddenly lit up, and the "thinking" of the servo brain was injected into the neatly arranged large machines, so all the heavy gears and connecting rods started to spin——

"The execution units are running normally!" "The signal of the nerve cord is normal!" "The monitoring of the biomass pipe network is normal!" "The blood sugar of the servo brain is normal!"

Amidst the continuous reports, Selena showed a faint smile. Even though she was a ghost, she still took a deep breath as if she was alive in the world, and let out a sigh: "Finally... the dark knowledge of the past is gone again. For once there was the light of the right path."

……

North of Rock Fortress, lower reaches of the Gorgon River, Pompeii area, warm wind blowing from the south has swept across the large wasteland outside the development zone boundary, and the wind is mixed with a slightly damp earthy smell-this heralds a summer rain coming soon.

This year's rain is more abundant than in previous years, and the water level of the Gorgon River has been rising all the way. However, after careful research, scholars have confirmed that this level of rainfall will not cause floods, and the people living in the central area of ​​the Holy Spirit Plain can rest assured Come, and hope that the last part of summer will be smooth and rainy, so that this year can have a good ending.

A large factory is located in the development zone on the east side of this riverside city. This factory, which was put into operation this year, has multiple magic energy obelisks and several towering magic power dissipation towers, and there are straight and wide roads leading from the factory area. Passing through, extending all the way to the pier on the Gorgon River, various features show that this is a heavy factory that produces large-scale magic devices, and the government affairs office here has high hopes for it.

In the loading and unloading area of ​​the factory, a heavy-duty truck is parked next to the transfer platform waiting to send the goods out of the factory. Several workers and technicians are busy at the scene, checking the boxes one by one while manipulating the machinery to move the heavy crates. condition of the goods.

Among the operators at the scene, a tall middle-aged man was particularly eye-catching. In addition to his more robust figure than ordinary people, obvious scars and subtle scars could be seen on the face and neck of this middle-aged man The crystallization symptoms of the crystal cluster—this shows the identity of a middle-aged man: he is a "healer", a person who survived the catastrophe of crystal clusters, and a glorious rebuilder of this land.

The mechanical lifting device was running, and the last large crate was safely placed on the heavy-duty truck. After confirming that the mechanical device had stopped and locked, the middle-aged man put down the controller in his hand and jumped onto the truck with two other workers. Get ready to secure those crates in place with carabiners.

"The first batch of finished products... is finally finished," a worker said next to the middle-aged man. "This is a precision thing... I hope they can all be sent to the testing ground in the imperial capital."

"By the way... why did you build such a large anti-gravity unit?" Another worker made a confused voice, "I have seen dragoons in the north, and the 'cloud base' carrier aircraft used for transportation , they can’t use such a large anti-gravity unit...one unit is only this big, I really don’t know how big the anti-gravity ring formed by them is..."

The middle-aged man with scars and crystal marks on his face glanced at the two workers, and reminded in a low and hoarse voice: "This is not something we should pay attention to. Don't just speculate on the plans of the empire."

"Hey, Sam, you're just too serious—it doesn't violate any confidentiality agreement to talk about products in the factory area, not to mention that these parts themselves are not classified," a worker waved his hand, and then lowered his voice , "Hey, are you really not curious? Oh yes, you were transferred from the north recently... Maybe you don't know the situation of this factory..."

The middle-aged man called Sam ignored the chattering man. He just lowered his head and glanced at the label on the crate, which printed the brief information of the goods in black and white letters:

Standard-III anti-gravity unit (welded type), from: Pompeii Special Manufacturing Center, shipped to: Cecil City.

Below the label, there is an additional line of marking: The Empire's Magic Technology Department, authorized by Minister Rebecca, is accessible within the territory.

"Fixed." "This side is also fixed."

A colleague's voice came from the side, and Sam then looked away.

These large magic units can be used to form an anti-gravity ring with a diameter of more than ten meters. They represent the processing limit of modern factories in terms of rune devices, regardless of the princess who was praised by the emperor as having a "steel mind" And what kind of plans did she conceive with her head, which is extremely good at dealing with steel machines, behind these rings must point to some kind of great creation that can shock the world—just like the magic engine and rune cannon in the past, Or the running magic train and the amazingly powerful steel warship.

But none of these things mattered much to him.

For him, instead of focusing on these mysterious magical parts, he should focus on the healing of this land and this prosperous summer.

Standing on the truck, Sam looked out over the young forest north of Pompeii—a burnt wasteland a year earlier, a landmark that represented the demarcation line of the contaminated zone during the drede war.

Although the crystal cluster army did not attack Pompeii, in order to prevent the spread of pollution, the Cecil Corps used heavy burners to completely burn a large area north of Pompeii, creating a "purification zone". The burned land was shocking, but as His Majesty said, new shoots will always be more luxuriant on the burned land.

Now, the luxuriant scene has appeared-although in Sam's opinion, the growth rate of the forest this summer is a bit abnormal, but those forests that seem to grow overnight are really pleasing to the eye, covering the land with lush green The last piece of burnt scorched earth on this piece of land also shows that the ecology of this piece of land is on the way to complete recovery.

Chapter 1169 Big Plan

To the southwest of Cecil City, a large facility is located in the connection between the dark mountains and the forest.The thick high wall isolates the entire facility from the outside world. On every node of the high wall, you can see the towering obelisk of magic energy and the sentry posts and firepower platforms guarding the obelisk. There are soldiers walking back and forth on the high wall Patrol, all loaded with live ammunition, there is another road extending from the back of the base all the way into the dark mountain range, pointing in the direction of the disobedient fortress, and another road extending from the side of the base to the dense forest in the west, where is the No. [-] Dragoon training base. direction.

This large facility is one of the many testing and processing bases under the Department of Magic Energy Technology.

In the depths of the facility, the independent building in the office area stands in a huge cave carved out of the natural mountain. The flag of the Cecil Empire hangs from the high dome to the ground along the mountain wall. A middle-aged male researcher walks through the isolated cave. The mechanical connection bridge between the inspection area and the office area, and walked into the building under the gaze of the imperial flag.

Compared with the relatively forbidding and depressing environment of the base, the interior of the building has bright lights and relaxing colors. A layer of soft light fell from the young researcher's shoulders, and a bright reflection appeared on the top of his head.

A young female researcher came from the opposite side, stopped in front of the middle-aged man and greeted politely: "Good day, Leslie Think Tank."

"Miss Fanny," Marin Leslie, who has been promoted from a senior researcher to a "think tank", nodded to the girl who just graduated from Imperial College and was transferred here, "I just received News, the large anti-gravity unit sent from the Pompeii area has passed the checkpoint of Panshi Port, and should arrive at the port of Baishuihe soon. You should go there tomorrow with the formalities for handover—you should be familiar with the relevant procedures, right? ?”

"Yes, Leslie Think Tank," the young assistant researcher nodded vigorously, with the unique vitality of young people and the sense of anticipation when performing important tasks, "Don't worry, I have handed over to my mentors several times , there will be no problem."

"Well," Marin Leslie replied, and asked casually, "Is the minister in the office here today?"

"Yes, the minister came early this morning and has to personally handle several technical procedures for engine linkage—he's in the office on the second floor now."

"Okay, I'll go over now—Miss Fanny, don't forget what I told you."

After this small episode, Marin Leslie bid farewell to the young assistant researcher, went straight to the second floor of the office area, and stopped at the end of the spacious and bright corridor - in front of him was the head of the magic technology department. People's office, and that is a respectable member of the royal family. Although almost everyone in this era is consciously weakening many rules and habits of the old aristocratic era, Marin, who was born in the Leslie family, still persists. Certain "guidelines" for decades.He stopped in front of this door, quickly sorted out every detail of his clothing, adjusted his expression in place, and then stepped forward to knock on the door.

But before his fingers were about to touch the door panel, a voice from the office stopped his movements. He heard two voices, one of which was obviously his immediate superior, and the other was the great ruler of the empire. Your Excellency—

"You have exceeded the budget for the third time! Rebecca! Although the priority of your project is very high now, you also have to consider our finances-why not do more simulation experiments in the origin laboratory? !"

"I have done it, aunt... But the origin laboratory is not omnipotent. Who knows that there will be an additional magic power tremor after the synchronous activation of multiple anti-gravity rings... But don't worry! We have found the magic power tremor The way to derive it in time! Just add a layer of mithril plating between the first-level power ridge and the second-level power ridge. Hey, let me tell you, aunt, Pompeii..."

"How many times have I told you, call me Grand Consul when communicating at work!"

"Hey, okay, Auntie Grand Consul—the newly built factory in Pompeii has been shipped! In these two days, we will know whether the anti-gravity units that come off the production line meet the standards. If they meet, the cost More than half of this piece can come down..."

"I hope the situation can be as you said, otherwise I will have to bring you to the ancestors as an explanation when the next financial settlement is made!"

"Hey, hey, don't worry, Aunt Grand Consul, I'm sure I didn't ask..."

"Stop—you should call me aunt. Damn it, I really should have found you an etiquette teacher with both civil and military skills..."

"Hey, Auntie, you are being too harsh. Mr. Boulber back then was actually good at martial arts. Although his boxing skills are not good, his body skills are quite good..."

Marin Leslie, a member of the Leslie family, a well-educated progressive scholar who has actively accepted the transformation of the new empire order, one of the oldest technicians in the magic technology department, and the "think tank" with the least hair this year , I encountered the biggest middle-aged workplace crisis in my life today at the door of my immediate boss.

I know that my boss is being held on the head by the boss's boss in the room, and I can tell from the conversation that my boss seems to be doing something stupid, and I am standing outside the office door at the moment. The room is not well soundproofed. Everyone knows this, and ask: If you push the door and go in at this time, how much of the next month's bonus will be left?

The voice in the room had quieted down, and Marin Leslie swallowed with a complicated expression. He knew that His Highness Rebecca was actually a person who didn't care much about details, and probably wouldn't break it because of himself. He was angry about the embarrassing situation, but at this time he still couldn't help hesitating - after all, even if the person involved wasn't embarrassed, it would be embarrassing for him to hear this outside.

He decided to stand at the door for another 2 minutes, and knock on the door after the embarrassment passed, pretending that he had just arrived and didn't hear anything...

As soon as his thoughts turned here, Marin suddenly heard footsteps behind him. When he looked back, he saw Miss Fanny walking towards a nearby office—she came up to pick up the documents.

"Leslie Think Tank?" Fanny also saw Marin standing at the door of the minister's office, and suddenly called out in surprise, "Have you not seen the minister yet? She is in the office..."

Marin choked his neck, and after holding back for a long time, he could only say: "...Thank you for reminding me."

"You're welcome~" The young assistant researcher smiled happily, turned around and walked into the room, leaving Marin Leslie standing at the door of the minister's office with an embarrassed face. After a while, Marin, who often felt the pressure of the workplace Mr. Sighed and scratched his head, the only remaining hair around his head seemed to loosen a bit—then he reached out and knocked on the door, and soon heard a familiar female voice from inside: "Come in, the door is unlocked .”

Marin opened the door and entered the office, and saw Rebecca sitting behind a large desk, seemingly in a daze, and a Magic Net terminal next to it seemed to have just been turned off, and the runes around the projection crystal were still emitting a slight afterglow.

"Uh...Minister," Marin greeted bravely, "I'll report the situation to you..."

"Marin," Rebecca said casually while maintaining a state of wandering, "I suddenly have a doubt..."

Marin Leslie straightened his expression immediately, and even put the report aside temporarily: "Ah, may I ask you."

"Will older women have a worse temper than when they were young?" Rebecca looked at the old subordinate in front of her seriously, "I always feel that my aunt has become more and more irritable in the past two years..."

Marin broke out in a cold sweat on the spot - this thing is a proposition!

Fortunately, Rebecca didn't expect this middle-aged bachelor who didn't even have a wife to answer such a highly professional question. Direction: "Oh, forget it, anyway, the next time I see Pittman, let him help to prepare some medicine for calming the nerves and recuperating, maybe my aunt doesn't care about the budget when she is happy..."

Marin's cold sweat hasn't stopped since just now, and at this time he watched his boss rushing all the way in a new direction of death. He wanted to remind him aloud, but he didn't know how to open the topic at all—— Before he figured out how to speak, Rebecca's voice came again: "Forget it, forget about it, Marin, what are you here to report?"

This sentence was like a sound of heaven, and fresh air suddenly poured into Marin's trachea again. He couldn't help but let out a breath, and quickly brought the topic back on track: "Yes, Minister. First of all, it's about the feedback from the Pompeii factory that just rolled off the assembly line." Gravity unit, just now there is a message from Panshi Port that the fast cargo ship has passed the checkpoint and should arrive at Baishuihe port tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and I have arranged for someone to hand it over."

"Oh? Have you passed Panshi Harbor? That's really fast," Rebecca suddenly showed a happy look, shaking on the chair with a smile, "That's good, we can quickly put the new anti-gravity The ring is mounted on the test frame, and a series of items in the test field do not have to stop and wait...Any other good news?"

"Ms. Selina, Bachelor of Nodes, sent a message that Glenn Heavy Industry's No. [-] experimental workshop has successfully started," Marin nodded, "According to her judgment, the performance of the neural network under the control of the wetware host in a practical environment is in line with expectations , all the parameters are in line with or close to the conclusions calculated in the laboratory environment - she described that "the whole factory has come to life, and the operation of each machine is as flexible as human beings controlling their own limbs, not at all like the old As blunt as those levers and buttons that are manually operated'."

"Such a high evaluation?" Rebecca raised her eyebrows immediately, and then felt a little regretful, "Hey, it's a pity I wasn't there, I really want to see how the first 'smart workshop' in human history works of……"

Immediately afterwards, she shook her head, allowing her thoughts to refocus on the business. She looked at the documents on the desk. Between those documents and the ruler, a large sketch was spread out on the desk. A thing that can be described as grotesque to those who don't know the truth--

It looks like a ship with an extremely strange shape, or some kind of "building" that can move like a vehicle. The tower next to it is used as a reference for scale, showing that this strange thing has a huge volume, and in this strange and The huge "ship" is everywhere, but you can't see any sails, paddles or other structures that a normal ship should have. Instead, there are large-scale magic devices distributed throughout its hull. The anti-gravity ring that reaches more than ten meters, the energy release grid with a length of nearly [-] meters, the continuous array of magic power capacitors, and more dazzling magical organs.

And at the bottom of this blueprint, the printed characters with rigid and clear lines marked a certain top-secret code name: Project 115.

This is just a sketch, and the details contained are far from the real engineering blueprint. However, just such a sketch is so complicated that it can make young technicians who have just been exposed to magic technology dizzy.

Of course, this was not designed by Rebecca herself—although she is indeed a very talented magician expert, the truly cutting-edge magic technology has already developed to a level beyond personal talent.This sketch and the entire design plan related to it are the results of hundreds of experts from the Magic Energy Technology Department and several other research departments' cooperative scholars working day and night. This not only includes a lot of demonstrations and calculations in the real world, Also included are numerous derivations and simulations performed with time acceleration in the origin laboratory.

The engineering behind this blueprint is one of the Empire's most ambitious plans for this exciting new age.

"Anti-gravity device... The ancestors once said that this is one of the most convenient technologies in the world, even so convenient that it is almost cheating-and such an important technology should not be limited to making some things like dragoons or cloud bases. Such 'gadgets'," Rebecca said slowly, looking at the things on the sketch, "sometimes even I can't understand how the incredible ideas of my ancestors came out, to be honest Yes, when he came up with the plan of 'Magic Sky Fortress', I was taken aback..."

"Your Majesty once said that his source of inspiration was the Temple of the Stars of the elves," Marin Leslie said with admiration, and when he saw the blueprint on the table, his eyes were even more proud , "But I still want to say... the Temple of Stars has been operating in the sky of this world for so many years, everyone takes it for granted as an 'undoubted miracle', only our Majesty can think of using human power To replicate this kind of miracle—this kind of vision is unmatched by others."

"The ancestors said, don't despise the vision of the ancients because of our achievements today - the people in the past didn't want to, because the technology and the background of the times made it impossible to do it. The elves spent so many years trying to restore their Temple of Stars , if they have a way, don’t they want to make a new one?” Rebecca shook her head, and said something very reasonable, “And the thing we want to build can’t match the Temple of Stars For example, no matter in terms of scale or internal parameters, a sky fortress of the size of the Temple of Stars cannot be replicated by today's technology...but we can try to create a downgraded version."

Marin Leslie listened to the princess's words, and a smile gradually appeared on his face: "If you can make one, you can make ten."

"Yes," Rebecca also laughed, full of confidence in her smile, "If you can make one, you can make ten."

Chapter 1170 Plan ahead

Making expensive things cheap, making rare things popular, making unreliable things stable and controllable—the reason why magic technology can change the way the entire world works in this era is the biggest reliance on this.

The elves have a Temple of Stars. For thousands of years, the sky fortress that never falls has been the greatest guarantee for the Silver Empire to be proud of the other countries. Although due to the aging of the temple itself, its deterrent power can only be limited. It is located in the southern part of the continent, but as long as the fortress is still floating in the sky for a day, most countries in the Loren continent can only look up and awe at it-this has nothing to do with whether the elves themselves "observe peace and neutrality", but because of their overwhelming strength. inevitable situation.

Under the current international situation, Gawain and his entire ruling team do not intend to make Cecil a hegemonic empire, but even so, he still hopes to make a breakthrough in the empire's air power, and the sky fortress in the hands of the elves It is an extremely attractive and practical goal, even if it is not considered from the perspective of military deterrence, this kind of flying fortress that can operate at high altitude for a long time, has strong protection force, and can provide reliable protection for expeditionary units is very important to one of Gawain's Long-term planning is also extremely important:

Attack the wasteland.

There is only one Temple of the Stars, and due to power and maintenance issues, it cannot be too far away from the Silver Empire. It is unrealistic to expect it to become the main force to counterattack the Wasteland, but the threat of the Wasteland is there, and the hidden power inside is growing day by day , people living around the wasteland must find another way to ensure their own safety.Using the unique advantages of magic technology to try to manufacture a mass-produced magic version of the sky fortress, to accumulate strength for the future counterattack against the wasteland, this is the plan that Gawain formulated—one of many plans.

But it is not easy to realize such a bold project, even with a cheating test system like Origin Lab with built-in acceleration and full-real simulation, with a lot of technical support provided by elves, plus convenient magic assistance and relatively mature With anti-gravity technology, it is not so easy to create human beings' own "Star Temple"-this is not just as simple as an oversized "Dragon Cavalry".

Rebecca's attention returned to the sketch in front of her, her eyes moved slowly between the regularly arranged anti-gravity devices and power ridges, and she muttered while thinking: "The biggest thing we have encountered so far There are two problems... One is the magic shock and resonance damage caused by a large number of anti-gravity rings running simultaneously in the same system. Last time we used the anti-gravity ring of the Dragoon to test the machine, and it almost burned all the test devices. Blowing up the entire platform, this problem now has a solution, which is to add an isolation layer and an energy release device between the power ridge and the energy consumption unit. Whether it is effective or not depends on the next test.

"The second problem is how to effectively integrate such a huge system so that all parts of the system can work together—the scale of the thing we designed is too large and the structure is too complicated. The number of guiding devices is astonishing, and there are at least a dozen anti-gravity rings alone, and these things are also related to each other... There is a problem with the coordination, and it may be shut down. The sky fortress is something that needs to fly in the sky. Vehicles and boats are different, the system will fall when the system shuts down..."

"That's why we need an 'operation center'," Marin Leslie nodded, "This operation center can immediately sense the status of all systems in the entire fortress, and can efficiently control various parts. Considering The scale of the overall system of the Sky Fortress and the complexity of this operation center will exceed the limits of our current control technologies—even if it is barely built, I am afraid that few people in this world can really operate it..."

"That's why I said that servo brains and wetware mainframes are good things, although the ancestors always feel that their image is not good enough," Rebecca laughed, "There is nothing more suitable for commanding such a large and complex computer network than a neural network." System, I agree with what Mr. Egg said - the most beautiful creation created by life is a machine, and the most beautiful machine is life itself. Wetware hosts and neural networks can break the gap between machines and organisms Boundary, as long as the nerve cord can cover the entire system, the control of the sky fortress will not be a problem, and then we will consider how to transform and upgrade the verified system at Glenn Heavy Industries into our blueprint..."

"In the final analysis, this idea also refers to the Temple of the Stars of the elves," Marin Leslie sighed with a complicated expression, "I heard that the control technology of their 'temple' is essentially similar Neural network stuff..."

"That's different," Rebecca shook her head immediately, "The wetware mainframe doesn't take up the population, so at most it costs a little sugar—the Queen of the Silver Elf's Temple of Stars."

Marin Leslie's expression was a bit weird for a moment: "Your statement is a bit..."

"I'm not talking nonsense," Rebecca knocked on the table solemnly, "I talked to Queen Belsetia last time, she said that after sitting on the seat of dominion, people become a part of the machine and must You can only concentrate on controlling the system, and the selection of operators is extremely harsh. First, you must be a member of the Morning Star royal family, or you cannot pass the biometric authentication. Second, you must have a synchronization rate or something... If the synchronization rate cannot increase, Saint Qunxing The efficiency of the temple will drop accordingly, what is the difference between this and the old age mages who rely on talent to cast spells and the magic props that require spellcasting ability?"

Speaking of this, Rebecca crossed her arms and made a serious judgment: "So in my opinion, the elves' Temple of the Stars is fundamentally flawed—even if the elves fix it, that thing will be destroyed sooner or later." It is also a constraint. If the Silver Empire wants to develop, sooner or later it must find a way to get rid of this kind of "antique heritage" that is full of problems. What did the ancestors say? What do you call it broken and then erected? ...Anyway, I think the Silver Empire needs this 'broken' process now."

"Uh...you're right, but I didn't mean it just now...forget it, you're right." Marlin Leslie coughed twice awkwardly, raised his hand and touched the non-existent thing on top of his head. Sweat beads, the princess in front of me has always had a wonderful way of speaking. A somewhat traditional-minded person like myself will inevitably feel extra pressure when he accidentally talks about certain "top topics" with her. He even doubts himself. At least half of the hair was lost while chatting with this Highness.

Rebecca didn't seem to realize that she had caused new pressure on the reliable subordinate in front of her. Her attention was attracted by Marin's movements, and she glanced up, suddenly a little surprised: "Hey, Ma Lin, your hair is short again?"

"This...thank you for your concern," Marin's expression was a little awkward for a moment, he touched the tip of his nose and said, "it's actually okay, after all...you should understand when you're middle-aged..."

"Ah, then I suggest you ask Pittman for help, he seems to be researching some kind of alchemy ointment for hair growth recently - although I don't know who will ask him to order that ointment every now and then, but you can try it Try, although his ointment sometimes has no effect, but I haven't heard of any serious side effects..."

"Thank you, I will think about it." The embarrassment on Marin's face was almost overflowing, and he began to think desperately about what to say to divert Her Highness's attention, so that this topic could pass quickly, but fortunately, he Before she spoke, Rebecca had put aside the topic—as usual, her attention was always jumping back and forth on various things quickly. When Marin kept touching the tip of his nose and standing restlessly, she had already Standing up from behind the large desk, he came to a floor-to-ceiling window not far away.

Rebecca looked out of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

That is the deepest part of the entire facility, and it is also an area with extremely high confidentiality. In the entire administrative area, only from the window of her office can you directly see the site—in the huge enclosed space, the high-power magic spar lamp illuminates it. The wide assembly platform and the steel support structure built vertically and horizontally are illuminated, and the cold light and shadow are outlined under the searchlights. Between those huge platforms and support structures, you can see the unfinished anti-gravity ring, and the giant giant that is being welded. Power ridges, movable magic obelisks, busy construction vehicles, and countless workers and technicians busy among the giant components.

"The components that were burned before have been replaced... Before installing the parts sent by Pompeii, we should do more preparations in the No. [-] test site," Rebecca said softly, "Marin , and then prepare a set of simulation framework, and we will verify the transformation plan of the power ridge again. In addition, we will contact the computing center and borrow their wetware server-the new power ridge and the neural network control system. We have two plans We can test together."

"The budget..." Marin couldn't help but said, although he didn't need to worry about this aspect, but the conversation he heard outside the door just now made him a little worried at this moment.

"I'll just apply, it's just an unplanned test," Rebecca waved her hand, "and even if it does burn, it's better to burn a set of simulation framework and wetware server than to burn the The active spine is better, aunt will understand."

Marin looked at Her Royal Highness in front of him, and lowered his head after a while: "...Yes, Minister, I will arrange it now."
