A moment magnificent star appears in a view corner/horn, the sunlight process weakens and filters, to prevent to stab on the bridge the eyes of people. Hao Ren makes Mobile Data Terminal adjust the lens of exterior monitoring device, saw the star surrounding situation. 一刻光辉灿烂的恒星出现在视图一角,阳光经过削弱和过滤,以防止刺伤舰桥上众人的眼睛。郝仁让数据终端调节着外部监视器的镜头,看到了恒星周围的情况。 So-called „Aerym planet” is nothing left, that planet was gradually dismantled the fragment several thousand years ago, now it is one piece continuous, around the outer space floating island that the original planetary orbit operates, probably is a series of the fragmentary and similar-sized pointed cone stone lines up to flutter in the outer space. These elves to mine the last resources from the planet bottom, the energy cycle that also to let on planet dries up day by day obtains supplement as far as possible, decomposed own entire planet resolutely, turns into it can accept the solar energy to the full, simultaneously can hold the disruption conditions of more person. After the rock layer of mantle deep place was dismantled remoulds this type of floating island, they obtain the precious existing space, as well as more precious- test facility. 所谓的“艾瑞姆星球”早已荡然无存,那颗星球在数千年前就被逐渐拆解成了碎片,现在它是一片连绵的、绕着原有行星轨道运行的太空浮岛,就好像一连串零碎而且大小差不多的尖锥石头在太空中列队飘荡着。那些精灵为了从行星地底开采出最后一点资源,也为了让星球上日趋枯竭的能量循环得到尽可能的补充,毅然决然地分解了自己的整个星球,将它变成可以最大限度接受太阳能量,同时可以容纳更多人的碎裂状态。在地幔深处的岩层都被拆解重塑成这种浮岛之后,他们才得到宝贵的生存空间,以及更加宝贵的-试验场。 These outer space floating islands have the obvious artificial mold trace, their main bodies are planet rock, but the floating island peripheral can see huge man-made „hoop”, these already somewhat gloomy, material quality is between the man-made structure between rock and metal is not only maintaining the shape stability of floating island, simultaneously produces an energy cover to protect the following land, but the energy covers can be used to filter the sunlight. Side of floating island is smooth, the other aspect is the giant ugly rock foundation, can see the ancient and huge mechanism in that uneven hanging upside down mountain ranges, they are the power plant of floating island, the gravity generator, the energy stand, as well as circulation of materials factory. These mechanism are perhaps with a history of several thousand years, does not know many damages the places, but apparently their manufacturers do not have the energy and resources restore again. 那些太空浮岛有着明显的人工塑造痕迹,它们的主体是星球本身的岩石,但浮岛周边可以看到巨大的人造“环箍”,那些已经有些暗淡的、材质介乎岩石和金属之间的人造结构不但维持着浮岛的形态稳定,同时产生一种能量罩将下面的陆地保护起来,而能量罩本身又可以用于过滤阳光。浮岛的一面平整,另一面则是巨大丑陋的岩石根基,在那凹凸不平的倒悬山脉之间可以看到古老而庞大的机械结构,它们是浮岛的动力装置,重力发生器,能源站,以及物质循环工厂。那些机械结构恐怕已经有数千年历史,其中不知有多少损坏的地方,但显然它们的制造者已经没有精力和资源再修缮了。 „These are our homelands.” Hilda instead is at this moment tranquil, she stands up to point at the picture that the total information is projecting, „is far away from the floating island of Lord residential area is the test facility. Initially we once tested the demon of Space - Time core and ultra-large power on that lead the accelerator, if we did not dismantle this planet. We could not even find this test facility. The demon leads the accelerator to need to construct in the solid and huge ground, the conventional space station is unable the carrying/sustaining, but it happens the explosion even possibly to tear half planet, therefore cannot place mother on-board. Historically once one generation of scholars constructed a giant outer space platform to conduct this dangerous experiment as far as possible reluctantly, but a fusion furnace explodes causes the platform to crash, nearly destroyed the ecology in entire Northern Hemisphere, these titles of experiment suspended, until completing planet remoulds restarts- that was also past tense. Now the Space - Time core and demon lead the experiment of accelerator to stop, we really did not have the resources.” “那些就是我们的家园。”希尔妲此刻反而平静下来,她站起身指着全息投影上的画面,“一些远离主居住区的浮岛是试验场。当初我们曾在那上面测试时空核心和超大功率的魔导加速器,如果我们不把星球拆解成这样。我们甚至连这种试验场都找不到。魔导加速器需要建设在坚实而且庞大的地基上,常规的空间站无法承载,而它一旦发生爆炸甚至可能撕裂半个星球,因此也不能放在母星上。在历史上曾经有一代学者尽可能地建造了一个巨大的太空平台来勉强进行这种危险实验,但一次聚变炉爆炸导致平台坠毁,险些摧毁了整个北半球的生态,这些实验项目就暂停了,直到完成星球重塑才重新启动-不过那也是过去时。现在时空核心和魔导加速器的试验都已经停止,我们实在没有资源了。” „These have the floating island of bright energy guard/shield are the ecology islands, under the guard/shield has the ecology vault, we preserved the ecosystem of planet time as far as possible, transplants them to the huge artificial circulation system, these ecology vaults provide the precious complex organic matter for us, simultaneously...... is also luxurious enjoyment that my people only save. Each Aerym Elves one year has 15 days in the vault to rest, but cannot be many, the bearing capacities of these vaults have the limit, moreover with some critical system aging. Their actually also quick engine off. Perhaps if their shutdown, we have to completely depend upon the factory synthesis material to save next life, but this dying many people: Aerym Elves is an evolution slow race. The healthy individual has the millennium lives, the speed of environmental deterioration far exceeds the speed that we adapt, whenever an ancient facility shutdown, the large quantities of old elves...... the mature elf will even pass away.” “那些有着明亮能量护罩的浮岛是生态岛屿,护罩之下有着生态穹顶,我们尽可能保全了星球时代的生态系统,将它们移植到巨大的人工循环体系下,这些生态穹顶为我们提供宝贵的复杂有机物,同时……也是我的人民仅存的奢侈享受。每个艾瑞姆精灵一年有十五天可以在穹顶中休息,但不能再多,那些穹顶的承载能力有极限,而且随着一些关键系统老化。它们其实也快停机了。如果它们停摆,恐怕我们将不得不完全依靠工厂合成物质来生存下去,而这会死很多人:艾瑞姆精灵是一个进化缓慢的种族。健康个体有千年寿命,环境恶化的速度远远超出我们适应的速度,每当一种古老设施停摆,都会有一大批老精灵……甚至壮年精灵去世。” „These have the floating island of bright light beam connection are the communities, most elves live in these islands. They are the special designs, the energy consumption is lowest, the circulation system is stablest, the construction plans is more reasonable, in other words is the time that...... can delay is longer. Most fabrication plants on these floating islands, even other floating islands- for example test facility- unexpected damage. These communities can also exist as far as possible.” “那些互相之间有明亮光束连接的浮岛是居住区,大部分精灵都居住在那些岛屿上。它们是特殊设计的,能耗最低,循环体系最稳固,建筑规划更合理,换句话说就是……能拖的时间更久。大部分合成工厂都在那些浮岛上,即便其他的浮岛-比如试验场-意外损毁。这些居住区也能尽可能存在下去。” The spaceship by low speed cruise pattern gradual approach these outer space islands, Hao Ren discovers in the floating island also has one crowd of special individuals: They wander on the island chain edge. Overall does not have gloomily light/only, some islands boundaries „hoop” even has damaged to fall off is as for vanishing does not see, on the floating island can also see the vestiges of man-made building vaguely, but the land above energy guard/shield has extinguished obviously, a land of these light has not seemed spiritless, the outer space rock that dries up probably is the same. 飞船以低速巡航模式渐渐接近那些太空岛屿,郝仁发现在浮岛中还有一群特殊的个体:它们在岛链边缘徘徊。整体暗淡无光,有些岛屿边界的“环箍”甚至已经损毁脱落乃至于消失不见,浮岛上还能依稀看出人造建筑物的残迹,但陆地上空的能量护罩显然已经熄灭,那些没有一丝灯光的大地显得死气沉沉,就好像枯竭的太空岩石一样。 „What is that?” “那是什么？” „Death place,” Hilda is sighing, „we molded these seemingly grand spatial entity, but does not mean that we have excellent technology- these floating islands are construct while compelled by circumstances by the way of nearly staking everything on a single throw of the dice, the technology is not very mature, even the theory is imperfect, the constructions of many islands are different, because initial designer do not know that which islands can persist in being longer. Moreover many floating islands have the flaw at the beginning of the construction, later breaks down unable to service, will therefore have the floating island damage unceasingly, extinguishes, then turned into such.” “死亡地,”希尔妲叹着气,“我们塑造了这些看似宏伟的空间实体,但并不意味着我们有多高超的技术-这些浮岛是在迫不得已的情况下以近乎孤注一掷的方式建造起来的,技术不够成熟,连理论都不够完善,很多岛屿的架构都不同,因为当初的设计者自己都不知道哪种岛屿可以坚持得更久一些。而且不少浮岛在建造之初就有缺陷,后期发生故障也无法维修,所以不断会有浮岛损毁,熄灭,然后就变成那样了。” Now Lily is peaceful, she even somewhat fears at present this strange scene, she clamps the tail, the ear is actually raising up straightly: „That above person?” 现在就连莉莉都安静下来,她甚至有些惧怕眼前这种诡异的景象,她夹着尾巴,耳朵却笔直地竖起:“那上面的人呢？” „Whole time can rescue, were shifted to other islands,” Hilda nods, „this will enhance the ecology pressures of other islands, therefore conducts after each time this rescue shifts, will implement some time resource constraint bill, is mainly limits the newborn as well as reduces the average per person supplies, some old men will enter the wishing world on own initiative ‚’, making the body accept the euthanasia, to set aside the space to give other young adults. Without the means that we must make the entire race survive as far as possible.” “大部分时间能抢救下来,被转移到其他岛屿上,”希尔妲点点头,“这会提高其他岛屿的生态压力,所以每次进行这种救难转移之后就会实行一段时间的资源限制法案,主要是限制新生儿以及降低人均补给,还有一部分老者会主动进入‘祈愿世界’,让身体接受安乐死,以腾出空间给其他青壮年。没办法,我们总要让整个种族尽可能生存下去。” „This place......” Hao Ren is opening the mouth, quite a while knows that should say anything, „imagines me is more serious.” “这地方……”郝仁张着嘴巴,半天才知道该说些什么,“比我想象的还要严重。” As an earthman, has not experienced the rookies referendaries of too multi-event with enough time, Hao Ren is unable to imagine the length and breadth in void to have many incredible matter to happen, he disaster and end of various stories looking like unable to compare with this skewer of outer space island chains at present. How he conceived to help Hilda and her clansman before this place- for example borrows the World Gate system of empire as well as he in the Kuiper Station personal connection, looks that can transport some commodities to here, or purchases some not to surpass «Civilization Not to interfere with the technology or the spaceship that from commerce of these Fillat void financial group Bill» stipulates gives these Aerym Elves, as a referendary he has every month certain amount „empire ration points”, but he has also gotten up these thing at present uselessly, is only heard that these ration points can trade in Macro World major civilization there to the exceptionally plentiful commodity, therefore he produced above. Idea. 作为一个地球人,一个还没有来得及经历太多事件的菜鸟审查官,郝仁无法想象广袤的虚空中有着多少让人难以置信的事情正在发生,他从各种故事里看来的灾难和末日都无法与眼前这一串太空岛链相比。他在来此地之前曾经设想过应该怎么帮助希尔妲和她的族人-比如借用帝国的世界之门系统以及他在柯依伯站的人脉,看着能不能向这里输送一些物资,或者从那些菲雅利虚空财团的商贩手里购买一些不超过《文明不干涉法案》规定的技术或者飞船送给这些艾瑞姆精灵,作为一个审查官他每个月都有一定量的“帝国配给点数”,但他目前还没用上过这些东西,只是听说这些配给点数可以在宏世界各大文明那里换到异常丰足的物资,所以他才产生了上述想法。 Now looks like, his all plans must modify. 只是现在看来,他的一切计划都要做出修改了。 These Aerym Elves are not the little commodity or the little delayed technology can attain to help by far. 这些艾瑞姆精灵远远不是一点点物资或者一点点迟来的技术就能获助的。 „Your creativities and toughness are truly worth praising,” Mobile Data Terminal could not bear want to say anything, „was only you cannot discover that the mystery of super velocity of light engine- sometimes on the technical tree a branch road will ruin a civilization, particularly to your such innate condition insufficiently ample races, so long as there is a technology without to develop promptly, often would have no turning over opportunity. Can look at you already very diligently, but...... finally or has not succeeded.” “你们的创造性和韧性确实值得称道,”数据终端都忍不住想说点什么,“只是你们没能发现超光速引擎的奥秘-有时候科技树上一个岔路就会毁掉一个文明,尤其是对你们这样先天条件就不够宽裕的种族而言,只要有一项技术没能及时发展出来,往往就没有翻身机会了。能看得出来你们已经很努力,只是……最终还是没成功。” Hilda sighed: „Yes, the final space transmission experiment was also defeated.” 希尔妲叹了口气:“是啊,最后的空间传送试验也失败了。” When giant turtle rock bench number close to these island chains obviously brought to the attention of Aerym Elves, Hao Ren noticed communication to report suddenly massive unknown contact signals, some bright luminous spots rapid circled from several housing floating islands came out and were close to the spaceship fast, after waiting for the lens to draw, Hao Ren saw clearly these is some edges thick obtuse, is glittering the iron grey metallic luster triangle flight vehicle, in the outer covering of each flight vehicle is glittering bright rune/symbol writing, obviously and spaceship in general impression was not quite same. These should be the spaceships of Aerym Elves manufacture, they are not only able to span that several million light years pitifully long-distance slowly. 当巨龟岩台号靠近那些岛链的时候显然引起了艾瑞姆精灵们的注意,郝仁注意到通讯器突然报告了大量未知的联络讯号,一些明亮的光点迅速从几座居住型浮岛背面绕了出来并快速接近飞船,等镜头拉过去之后郝仁才看清那些是一些边缘粗钝的、闪烁着灰白色金属光泽的三角飞行器,每一艘飞行器的外壳上都闪烁着明亮的符文,显然与一般印象中的飞船不太一样。那些应该就是艾瑞姆精灵制造的飞船,只可惜它们无法跨越那几千万光年的慢慢长途。 These iron grey triangle flight vehicles arrive at the giant turtle rock bench number fast peripheral, Hao Ren makes the spaceship decelerate to nearly static, therefore these dozens meters „small spaceship” then followed to stop, has not made the rash action that detoured rapidly and so on. Their internal drivers are certainly at the enormous shocking and tense situation, the people in bridge even can felt that by that ice-cold outer space and several star ship armor this mood fills the air. ( to be continued ) 这些灰白色的三角飞行器快速来到巨龟岩台号周边,郝仁让飞船减速到近乎静止,于是那些几十米长的“小飞船”便跟着停了下来,没有做出急速绕行之类的冒失举动。它们内部的驾驶者一定正处于极大的震惊和紧张状态,舰桥里的众人甚至可以透过那冰冷的太空和数层星舰装甲感觉到这种情绪弥漫过来。(未完待续)
