Chapter 1249: Silent crystal

(Well, nothing else, how many monthly passes are needed? Gǎào This month's monthly pass looks weak ...)
As the most special and important planet in shadow space, the parent star Gaia rarely opens to the outside world. For ordinary people in Shadow City, the upside-down ground hanging above them is just a beautiful background, which is beyond sight. It is said that there are many urban legends related to Gaia in Shadow City. For example, the land on the surface of Gaia was made of diamonds. For example, a goddess lived on Gaia. For example, the current Shadow City is actually pulled from Gaia. The wild thoughts that come down to the truth are always refreshing. Although they are not reliable, I think this is more or less a culture of Shadow City: people of various ethnic groups who are bored to those around them The culture of the unknown imperial empire facility composes the story, and then retrieves it and publishes it into a fairy tale collection and a monster novel to deceive the money culture .. "".
The day and night alternation on the surface of the mother star is in accordance with the general rule of the Empire. The sky of u that Sandora and I left from Avalon has just begun to darken, so when we arrive on the mother star, u is also covered by the sunset, because It is not affected by the space environment itself, and there is a filtering mechanism of the planet shield, so the sky on the mother star and the shadow city are also artificially manufactured by artificial devices. Today, the planet ’s administrator has set up a home for his A beautiful theme package, a perfect picture of the sky, the silver-grey alloy ground under our feet spreads to the horizon, and the end of the other direction of sight is the lush rolling mountains. These scenery combine together, unexpectedly coordinated, and even It gives people a desolate and vast shock.
Sandora always mocked the Apostles for knowing nothing about art, but in my opinion, they inadvertently created a lot of things. All ng is enough to see shallow human beings and marvel at the magnificence.
Wand and Sandora are currently located near the equator of the parent star. Here is a small rectangular artificial continent. The facility that Sister Gaia said is underground on this continent. The square we are standing on now looks like an extension of a large facility group. The alloy earth beneath our feet indicates that they are the base of a standard empire base. A few kilometers behind you can see a huge silver-gray building. The neat swords generally point to the sky.
"That's one of my redundant processing arrays. It was just set up a few days ago," As he was looking down at those buildings with sharp swords in the distance, a turán with an empty inspiration passed by his side. Voice, I turned my head. Seeing a light blue translucent figure standing next to her, a slight wave of halo residue behind her indicates that this image has just been projected. "I ’m idle and boring. I will make improvements and enhancements to the parent star. What's the function. Now there are a lot of oversized projects in the research center over nháng. Bubble said that her type of mainframe is not good at handling huge amounts of repetitive tasks. It happens that my core architecture is designed specifically for such big data tasks, so I plan to help her share some data pressure with her host network. More similar arrays are being built on the mother star. Well, I should have reported this to you. "
I thought about it. In the report I saw the other day, I really mentioned that Gaia was adding some modules to the mother star. So suddenly: "Oh ... that's what you said, I remembered it. I remembered it, but I didn't expect that those things would look like this after you built it, my impression of the host facilities has always been that kind of pyramid, I thought you had made a bunch of new nests. "
Sister Gaia smiled, and the light on her body flickered slightly: "I ca n’t use a standard mother nest like this, Your Majesty. Now I rely on these designed auxiliary equipment to work, and it is probably a blessing because of disaster, and I have lost the restraint of the standard body. I think the expansibility is many times stronger than that of ordinary hosts. I can lay out plug-ins on the entire planet and use the planet's quiet energy well to recharge without worrying about overload. Well, the only disadvantage is that it ca n’t be used. The universal socket must have a switching device to communicate with other hosts. Fortunately, there are only two models of the host computer in the Empire: Me and Bubble. The switching device is also very simple. "
I looked at Gaia, and the topic was very delicate. From the perspective of the eyes, the beautiful phantom sister in front of her is really not in good condition. She will lose her body forever. She is not even allowed to use prosthetic limbs. She can only be fixed on the planet in the state of a program and soul. It must not be me to be happy, but Gaia seems to be completely indifferent to this situation. She has not survived in this state for many thousands of years, and has kěnéng to continue so, but she is smiling. Now, to show that I can still continue to work, maybe she is really gǎàoméu regretful ng, ng has communicated with her more than once on this topic, dào she will not cheer on this matter to comfort anyone: This is not the style of the Apostles of the Spirit. It can only be said that the way of thinking between different life forms is really not yàng, as a person ... well, as a void creature, by the way, the remaining human perspective, it is really difficult to understand the Spirit Apostle Thinking héng.
In the end, I decided not to entangle the question of observation for the time being, and brought up the crystal with Gaia: "Is Sandora and I came to see the big rock and heard that you have set it up?"
Gaia smiled happily: "Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your efforts, è heart returned to the original wè. I'll show you the way, the placement facilities are below ..."
As the words fell, Gaia's projection body turned into a series of streamers, and quickly sank below the alloy earth. Sandorana and I looked at each other: "... Did she forget something?"
A moment later Gaia came up again, and while opening the portal, he smiled at me and Sandora in an awkward way: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, ng for thousands of years, méu led others into this āng ... I forget."
I smiled: "It's okay, in fact, I'm used to it, u An Weina at home took me to see her new research dishes, basically every time I pulled me against the kitchen wall ..."
Gaia looked dumbfounded with a line on her head: "ng ..."
I think this is another expression of apartheid!
The security facilities for storing crystals are deep underground and should enter part of the mantle. The parent star Gaia is a custom planet, and its mantle itself exists as a storage point for various security-critical facilities. At this level, there are actually factories and data processing cores that are more dense than the surface of the parent star. Our surface portal entered the underground of the parent star. Oncoming. It is an unprecedentedly vast mantle space. A few kilometers above the head is a layer of alloy dome with a slight internal curvature. You can see a sparse light distribution and a slowly changing psionic energy pipe network on the dome, which should be the physical part of the energy network that powers the surface facilities. Under the dome, there are no large mantle voids at the margins. The height of this hollow is probably more than ten kilometers, and the dark red magma is surging extremely deep under the feet. In this environment, ordinary people may look down and look faint. I don't see the "ground" where néu isolates people from the underground magma below, but it does step on the me thing. This should be a transparent mask. I gǎào this design is quite boring, especially for those who have both height phobia, claustrophobia, fall phobia, flame phobia and square phobia, this magically makes everything hairy The landscape has been integrated into a piece of human psychology that can only be said that Gaia really méu, and her transformation of the planet is based on practical and convenient standards.
On the "earth" not visible at the foot, there are a series of large-scale buildings. Gaia introduced us to the situation here: "This is the No. 1 large hollow, and there are twenty in the mantle. The hole No. 1 is actually the smallest one. Here is the main part of the data center in the sky zone. Of course, this data center is undergoing transformation because the 15-day zone ng disintegrates. The structure of this data center does not conform to Now the use of the imperial ruled area, so I plan to reorganize it as a whole. In the future, it can be used as a backup data library for the research center. As for the current data center of the new imperial ruled area, the bubble is still maintained. Well, this project is very It will be completed soon. I started construction. Look there.
Gaia led us up into the air, quickly rushing past huge, domino-like data centers that stood up, then turán decelerated and pointed to a rectangular building not far away. I saw that the shell of the building was dismantled, revealing the complex crystallized structure inside it. The dim psychic energy was slowly flowing between the dazzling crystal grids. It seemed that the facility was still operating, But ng has entered the minimum standby state. On this "site", a group of self-regulatory machines are busy.
The self-discipline machine is the largest number of "residents" on the parent star Gaia. Gaia regards them as children, and I notice that Gaia has a faint smile on the faces of the busy robots. Then she pointed to one of them, the self-discipline machine that seemed to be the team leader, and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember it?"
"This is ..." I was a little stunned for a while, but after seeing that the self-discipline machine had not completely picked up the modified plug-in, I immediately responded, "Ah, it was brought out from the ruins of the old empire deep-dive port ! Does it work again? "
"It asked for it," Gaia smiled. "The self-disciplined machines are very simple in thinking, but they also have basic thinking. Even if they have méu personality, they like to work. The child applied to restart on the third day when he came here, and now it Is the best performing one. "
I watched the excitement flying around the construction site below, helping to dismantle the small robot in the data center. Maybe I should call it the big robot gǎào, and it seemed that it had returned to its favorite lifestyle.
"So you're really busy every day." I glanced at Gaia and couldn't help saying it.
To be honest, Gaia's presence around her is really not high. She ca n’t leave her home star, and naturally she does n’t attend any meetings. The only thing that can appear in the headquarters office is her report. Some people have the illusion: Gaia is not active in the empire. But this is completely a false impression. On the contrary, Gaia is not as busy as a workaholic like Sivis and Tavel. She took care of the mother star alone, and completed the project of reorganizing the ancient mother star and the various central facilities of the new empire. As a super-spirit host with powerful functions and a large number of components, she also made Bubbles and mass-produced bubbles share a large number of complex data tasks. In areas that are hard for outsiders to notice. Gaia worked diligently to take care of everything. Only you can go to the mother star in person. When you see those busy data centers and factories, and see various reconstruction sites, you will really realize this.
But in the face of my sigh, Gaia just said lightly: "My free system resources are still fully utilized. I should think of ways to speed up the reconstruction of those ancient facilities on the mother star. To synchronize with Shadow City Command, it has many logical hosts that are still in good condition and cannot continue to be idle. Well. My work efficiency needs to be further improved ... "
A standard Spirit apostle.
We came to āng, where crystals are stored.
This is located in the center of the underground cavity. The storage facility for the crystal is a building that looks similar to uwéi's data centers, but has a volume that is almost double and the surface structure is more complex. Even if I have limited knowledge of these data centers, I also Can guess that this building and the facilities of uwéi should belong to the same system. Gaia quickly confirmed this speculation: the large rectangular building in front of it was the host of the 15-day data center in the year. It managed the 122 servers that were neatly distributed in the entire cavity and received the 15th year of that year. The information uploaded by all channels in the Tian District, after preliminary processing, will be sent to Gaia, each dedicated host array, headquarters and administrative departments at all levels, and the Emperor of the Tian District according to different priorities. Its functional positioning is similar to that of now Shadow City's mass-produced bubble host array, of course. Its ability is stronger than the latter, ng the fifteen-day zone of the year ... but it is larger than the entire new empire territory (excluding the macro part).
"Because I lost the ability to make mass production mainframes. So I started to make this huge server," Gaia introduced us to the origins of these founder facilities, which should also be far more than the other numbers on the parent star. The origin of various types of data processing facilities, "They are troublesome to set up. They are not as easy to use as mass production hosts and do not have construction functions, but because I can be infinitely expanded myself, connecting these servers can greatly improve them. Efficiency, so this system has been running very well. In some batches of repeated data processing, the performance is even better than the general-purpose model of the Schilling mainframe. As for the construction work of the 15-day zone in the year, it was handed over to those Specially designed self-discipline machine. Now think about it, the work in those days was actually heavier than it is now ... "
Introduced by Gaia, we came to the hall of this data center, which is similar to some kind of computer room. The area is about the size of two basketball courts, and there are a lot of standing cabinets on both sides. At the center of the rectangular hall of the device is the huge crystal that has just returned. It is floating on a gravity-free platform protruding from the ground and recessed in the middle, reflecting the unpredictable light in its slow rotation.
"This crystal was originally part of the data center."
Gaia should have activated some equipment in the hall. I heard a low humming sound coming from behind the wall. Then the slow rotation of the crystal gradually stopped, and some bright blue beams of the scanning line yàng changed from no gravity. Projected below the platform onto the crystal, a moment later, a large number of holographic projections emerged in the mid-air in front of the gravity-free platform: complex diagrams, unreadable machinery, and large sections of text. This looks like a newly opened database.
"Isn't this the heart of è?" I asked a very idiot when my head cramped, and sure enough, before I could take it back, we welcomed Sandola with a white eye: "So you really told us Your things are forgotten. The heart is an invisible concept. It is an information entanglement point, but it will only be attached to a certain entity. This crystal is the carrier of the heart, but it is What can me not do? "
"I didn't react for a while," I smiled wryly, and in order to relieve my embarrassment, I refocused on Gaia. "Is this something like a database?"
The two main functions of the data center are ~ EbookFREE.me ~ One is to temporarily store information nháng from various parts of the sky, and the other is to process them. The first impression this crystal gives is the former: Xi Ling Technology Indeed, many databases look like a crystal.
Of course, the internal structure of these databases is not just simple.
"There are some core database functions, but also with secondary cache and basic source instruction calling functions," Gaia nodded. "It is one of the core components of the data center. The function is not limited to temporarily storing data. You can see Be a 'hard disk' with the right to filter information. Say that you should understand better. "
"Oh ..." I agreed casually, slowly approaching the crystal that was in direct reading, and still remembered Sandora's guess at the time:
This crystal was conscious, and it chose a way to escape the old empire.
I put my hand on the crystal and started cold, with a slight tremor.
You are really conscious, nàme now you are home, can you talk to us? To be continued.
