In the Thorin command hall, Belterra is gazing at the present hologram projection unemotionally, but her spirit spreads in the entire facility, each matter that here has, each information that flows from the communication frequency cannot escape her line of sight. 索林指挥大厅内,贝尔提拉面无表情地注视着眼前的全息投影,而她的精神则蔓延在整个设施中,这里所发生的每一件事,从通讯频道中流动的每一条信息都逃不过她的视线。 Almost cannot see any obvious expression fluctuation on the face of this mimicry incarnation, however Belterra knows own mood at this moment not tranquil- with one completely strange, even lives the civilization conversation on another star is an unprecedented experience, so long as thinks that this behind a conversation that crosses star sea what kind of historical process is affecting, she then felt that oneself each leaf vibrates in the treetop slightly. 在这具拟态化身的脸上几乎看不到任何明显的表情波动,然而贝尔提拉知道自己此刻的心情一点都不平静-与一个完全陌生的,甚至生活在另一颗星球上的文明交谈是一种前所未有的体验,只要想到这场跨越星海的交谈背后牵动着怎样的历史进程,她便感觉到自己的每一片叶子都在树梢微微抖动。 These pay attention to the person of here development to think that through the telerobotics is also the similar mood. 那些通过远程网络关注着这里事态发展的人想必也是同样的心情。 „New text translates, transfers the code to complete, is transmitting to Antwain.” „Antwain transmits the confirmation information, the text has transmitted, the waiting opposite party responded.” “新文本编译完毕,转码已完成,正在发送至安塔维恩。”“安塔维恩传来确认信息,文本已发送,等待对方回应。” In the hall heard the report sound on instruction seat, Belterra still calmly stood in own position, such as a plant is gazing at the present hologram projection tranquilly, she noticed that in the projection appeared the writing of party slightly illumination: 大厅中传来了指令席上的报告声,贝尔提拉则仍然静静地站在自己的位置上,如一株植物般平静地注视着眼前的全息投影,她看到投影上浮现出了一行微微发光的文字: Solves star: „If among us cannot cooperate smoothly, how you will do? You have some type...... the alternative plan, solves the observation point problem beyond this four light year? This issue stems from our curiosity purely.” 解星者:“如果我们之间未能顺利合作,你们会怎么做？你们是否有某种……备选方案,来解决这个四光年之外的观测点问题？这个问题纯粹出于我们的好奇。” After this, is one compared with the beforehand waiting period longer spatial white noise sound, „Noah” seemed to be discussing how should reply this issue- is away from at least four light years endless star sea, she could not see matter that „opposite” has, but she is imagining, what kind of condition imagines these „ALIENS” by to hold at present this dialogue...... 在这之后,是一段比之前的等待期更加漫长的空白噪声,“诺依”们似乎正在讨论应该如何回答这个问题-隔着至少四光年的漫漫星海,她看不到“对面”发生的事情,但她不禁想象着,想象着那些“异星人”正在以怎样的状态进行眼下这场对话…… They also such as did the Thorin control center same gather many expert teams? They will also discuss and attempt guess intensely explains star sea opposite this saying „the Loren alliance” ethnic group? They also meet such as this star mortally feels joyful and nervous? 他们也如索林指挥中心一样聚集了很多专家团队么？他们也会激烈地讨论并尝试猜测解读星海对面这个自称“洛伦联盟”的族群么？他们也会如这颗星球的凡人般感受到喜悦与紧张么？ „Noah” society...... because of communication of this suddenly connection, but is starting mighty waves? Are their leaders also paying attention to this to span the conversation of space and time? “诺依”们的社会……是否因这突然接通的通讯而正在掀起一阵波澜？他们的领袖们是否也在关注这跨越时空的交谈？ Belterra raised the head slowly, her „vision” actually penetrated the above dozens meters thick roofs, the wooden structures and overlapping leaf blade, by viewpoint of great tree, the length and breadth boundless sky such as the great curtain hang down covers in her perception, even if this seems like that length and breadth boundless sky, in fact still is just this star surface common atmosphere, outside this atmosphere, but also has the length and breadth to surpass the average person to imagine the ability vast starry sky- 贝尔提拉慢慢抬起头,她的“目光”却穿透了上方数十米厚的屋顶、木质结构和层层叠叠的叶片,以一株巨树的视角,广袤无边的天空如巨幕低垂般笼罩在她的感知中,然而即便是这看似广袤无边的天空,实际上也只不过是这颗星球表面一层毫不起眼的大气层而已,在这大气层外,还有着广袤到已经超出普通人想象能力的浩瀚星空- Four light years, this is one makes in the world all disputes, successes and failures and life and death leave depart appears the tiny criterion instantaneously. In the Gondor time, Sorcerer then conscious to the concept of speed of light, however until the Gondor destruction, „light year” still limited to one „the measuring unit in concept”- it is so desperate, what kind of travel way then people could not imagine in this criterion to launch the journey the imagination, therefore this surpassed the thing of understanding the same as be converged „only with other similar things the god to be able” finally...... 四光年,这是一个让世上所有的纷争、得失、生死别离都瞬间显得渺小的尺度。早在刚铎时代,魔导师们便意识到了光速的概念,然而直到刚铎毁灭,“光年”都仍然局限于一个“概念上的计量单位”-它是如此令人绝望,以至于当时的人们连想象都想象不到怎样的旅行方式才可以在这种尺度上展开旅途,于是这超出了理解的东西最终就和其他类似的事物一样被归为了“唯神之能”…… Now thinks, perhaps now on this star Gods that bad spirit condition must have these were converged „miracle” carelessly the thing effect...... once the ignorant ignorant mortals only know forwards earnestly, when the issue that in meeting really could not explain always pushes to Gods irresponsibly directly, what to do but can Gods? They do not understand, that can only be insane...... 现在想想,如今这颗星球上诸神那糟糕的精神状态恐怕也少不了这些被胡乱归为“神迹”的东西所产生的影响吧……曾经懵懂无知的凡人们只知埋头向前,然而在遇上实在解释不清的问题时又总是不负责任地直接推给神明,可神明又能怎么办呢？祂们也不懂,那就只能疯了…… Without Theocratic Council, perhaps without the recent years to Gods operation mechanism more and more revelations, this blindness will incur sooner or later is as good as magic tide Doomsday. 如果没有神权理事会,如果没有近几年对神明运行机理越来越多的揭示,这种盲目性恐怕迟早会招致不亚于魔潮的末日吧。 Slight buzz the whining noise broke Belterra slightly some thoughts of radiation suddenly, she looks immediately to the hologram projection of business hall, saw that party was being translated the common language writing to reappear unceasingly slowly in the picture- 一阵轻微的嗡鸣声突然打断了贝尔提拉略有些发散的思维,她立刻看向大厅中央的全息投影,看到一行正在不断被翻译成通用语的文字正缓慢地在画面上浮现出来- Noah: „ Yes, we have alternative plan- or your response to us is an accident/surprise, from the beginning, we do not have other wisdom civilization to provide assistance according to ‚predetermined range in’ to make the self-help plan for the premise. 诺依:“是的,我们有备选方案-或者说,你们的回应对我们而言才是一个意外,从一开始,我们就是按照‘预定范围内没有其他智慧文明可以提供协助’为前提来制定自救计划的。 „ Many many years ago, we had sent out observer outward ‚’, the observer will go to be away from our star recent, conforms to the standard measuring point and feeds in our parent star there magic tide reading...... “在很多很多年前,我们就已经向外派出了‘观测者’,观测者将前往距离我们星球最近的、符合标准的测量点并将那里的魔潮读数传回我们的母星…… „even now, the observer had climbed mountains and crossed rivers for 126 years in the outer space, but this four light year endless journey had not arrived in the end point...... it to enter the deceleration flow, however still had certain distance away the scheduled observation point.” “时至今日,观测者已经在太空中跋涉了一百二十六年,但这场四光年的漫漫旅途仍未抵达终点……其已进入减速流程,然而距预定观测点仍有一定距离。” The writing that hologram projects stopped the beat, but the entire hall has fallen into an unusual silence suddenly, disclosed Belterra conscious to this paragraph of writing behind some fact that this made her stare in a big way the eye. 全息投影上的文字停止了跳动,而整个大厅已经突然陷入一种异样的寂静,贝尔提拉意识到了这段文字背后透露出来的某个事实,这让她不禁瞪大了眼睛。 The next second, she then hears the Gawain's sound to transmit from the communications device suddenly: „They can conduct space flight- this civilization had passed ‚coming of age’, immediately launches the inquiry.” 下一秒,她便听到高文的声音突然从通讯装置中传来:“他们能够进行太空航行-这个文明已经度过了‘成年礼’,立刻展开询问。” Had stood from the chair in Southern Region Gawain at this time, even his nearby Amber is staring the magic circuit terminal on looks at desk, when „Noah” said their before today's communication establishes then already has carried out for 126 years „original scheme”, then Gawain most receives is they who vibrates can conduct the interstellar travel! 远在南境的高文这时候已经从椅子上站了起来,连他旁边的琥珀都在瞪着眼睛看着书桌上的魔网终端,当“诺依”说出了他们那个在今日通讯建立之前便已经执行了一百二十六年的“原始方案”时,高文最受震动的便是他们能够进行星际旅行本身！ Treads the planet, marches into universe- on the Loren Continent star, this party is to then mean mortal civilization thoroughly gets rid of the Gods shackles and advances to grown, but according to the research to Gods revolution rule as well as in the understanding of existing each season wisdom species this star history of Theocratic Council, this process will obviously not be the exceptional case. 踏出行星,步入宇宙-在洛伦大陆所处的这颗星球上,这一行为便意味着凡人文明彻底摆脱神明的枷锁并迈向成年,而根据神权理事会对神明运转规律的研究以及对这颗星球历史上已有的每一季智慧物种的了解,这一过程显然不会是特例。 So long as other stars also follow with the Loren similar universe rule, so long as the logics of other wisdom ethnic groups do not have the deviation to the degree that Loren various clans definitely is unable to understand, then even if in counting the different star another region beyond light year and several hundred light year, „ALIENS” will also certainly have this „primitive worship- birth Gods- bidirectional shackles- advances to grown” the process, and „civilization lasts” two to choose an aspect in the final stage of this process facing „disobedient failure”. 只要其他星球也遵循与洛伦同样的宇宙规律,只要其他智慧族群的思维逻辑没有偏差到对洛伦诸族而言完全无法理解的程度,那么哪怕是在数光年、数百光年之外的异星他乡,“异星人”们也一定会有这个“原始崇拜-诞生神明-双向枷锁-迈向成年”的过程,并在这个过程的最终阶段面对“忤逆失败”和“文明存续”二选一的局面。 This was not a simple process, Tollund Great Dragon has used the serious present situation to prove to the world in this process misstep in price that needs to pay, but the Theocratic Council experts believe, the price was lower, easier achieve way is to exist, so long as in working loose the early time of shackles then stepped onto correct road/s, then bridged over the coming of age at the low cost is not matter that was inconceivable- just on this star, as if never had example like this, alliance various countries has also only been able to try to find out in this group forward. 这不是个简单的过程,塔尔隆德的巨龙们已经用沉重的现状向世人证明了在这个过程中踏错一步需要付出的代价,但神权理事会的专家们相信,代价更低、更易实现的路径是存在的,只要在挣脱枷锁的早期便走上正确的道路,那么以较低成本跨过成年礼就不是一件难以想象的事情-只不过在这颗星球上,似乎从未有过这样的实例,联盟各国也只能在这条路上摸索着向前。 That side Thorin control hall solution star have started to get ready to „Noah” the text of inquiry, Gawain to control suddenly the somewhat excitement, sat again slowly. His took a deep breath, feels the heartbeat to restore little as usual, the line of sight sweeps that to have the printing paper of residual heat again especially- in that short words and expressions, what exposed was another one and Loren various countries strives for saving civilization that to continue a lot of years of self-help journeys equally difficultly. 索林控制大厅那边的解星者们已经开始准备向“诺依”提问的文本,高文则控制着突然有些激动的心情,重新慢慢坐了下来。他深吸一口气,感受着心跳一点点恢复如常,视线则再次扫过那张尤有余温的打印纸张-在那短短的字句间,揭露的是另一个和洛伦诸国一样艰难求存的文明持续了千百年的自救征程。 Continued 1400 interstellar broadcast, travelled 126 years of observer in the outer space...... this named „Noah” the ethnic group has seemed like such as Loren Continent all living things generally is also tenacious- that poem that if Voyager left behind warned like that they have not immersed in this illusory tranquil endless night. 持续一千四百年的星际广播,已经在太空中旅行了一百二十六年的观测者……这个叫“诺依”的族群看起来也如洛伦大陆的众生一般坚韧-如起航者留下的那首诗所警示的那般,他们也没有沉醉于这个虚幻的宁静长夜。 But as for in these conversation records mentioned „in 1400” and „126 years” such time scale, with beforehand „light year”, already and Thorin great tree that side computation node conducted Unit conversion Gawain by solution star material that saw here, after has converted is the Loren unit of measurement . 而至于这些交谈记录中所提到的“一千四百年”、“一百二十六年”这样的时间尺度,都和之前的“光年”一样,已经由解星者们和索林巨树那边的计算节点进行了单位换算-高文在这里所看到的资料,都是已经换算为洛伦计算单位以后的。 Several hundred years ago in Verplanton astronomical observatory explains different star „dictionary” Scott Sir Plantin is specialized scholar, „the Noah person” sends out the starry sky „foundation knowledge library” also contains has to take the standard star twinkle as the reference value „standard time ruler”, in this regard, the trail blazers had flattened road/s for the later generation. 数百年前在维普兰顿天文台中解读异星“字典”的斯科特・普兰丁爵士是一个专业的学者,“诺依人”发往星空的“基础知识库”中也包含有以标准星闪烁为参考值的“标准时间尺”,在这一点上,先驱者们已经为后人铺平了道路。 In the printing apparatus transmitted ka the light sound, the engine shaft and gear then start to rotate, Amber subconsciously called out in a soft voice: „That side also had the thing to come!” 打印装置中传来了咔哒轻响,紧接着机轴与齿轮便开始转动,琥珀下意识地轻声叫道:“那边又有东西过来了！” Gawain is controlling own excitement, after waiting for the printing paper to be separated from the machine, then pulls out it immediately, on that is solution star and „the Noah person” latest conversation records of Thorin control center: 高文控制着自己的激动心情,等打印纸脱离机器之后便立刻把它抽了出来,在那上面是索林控制中心的解星者和“诺依人”最新的交谈记录: Solves star: „Our some perhaps appear the issue that takes the liberty, but this will help us promote understanding-, does your world have ‚Gods’?” 解星者:“我们有一些或许显得冒昧的问题,但这将有助于我们双方增进了解-请问,你们的世界存在‘神明’么？” Noah: „Yes, naturally, we have our Religion and belief system- evidently, does your side also have Gods?” 诺依:“是的,当然,我们有自己的宗教和信仰体系-看样子,你们那边同样也存在神明？” Solves star: „Yes, we have our Gods. Then the second issue, you......, when sends out ‚observer’ to the universes beyond four light year, doesn't have to cause out-of-control of Gods?” 解星者:“是的,我们也有自己的神明。那么第二个问题,你们……在向四光年之外的宇宙派出‘观测者’的时候,难道没有导致神明的失控么？” After this issue, „the Noah person” that side presents compared with the long-term blank waiting, on the printing paper except for „blank waiting” beyond the mark probably again also the long string ellipses, until almost the paper end, Gawain saw reply that „the Noah person” transmits: 在这个问题之后,“诺依人”那边好像再次出现了较长时间的空白等待,打印纸上除了“空白等待”的标记之外还有一长串的省略号,直到几乎纸张末尾,高文才看到“诺依人”传来的回复: „Observer who we send, is our Gods.” “我们派出去的观测者,就是我们的神明。” This time, not only Gawain stood suddenly, even in the communication contact surface has maintained peaceful audit Roseta Augustus and Bellsetia Morningstar sets out in the astonishment suddenly. 这一次,不但高文霍然站了起来,连通讯界面中一直保持安静旁听的罗塞塔・奥古斯都和贝尔塞提娅・晨星都在惊愕中猛然起身。 As if the world outlook was crushed to remould instantaneously, natural law heaven and earth turned upside down that until now becomes accustomed, in the board on the Lianping day a face is maintaining the serious stance Roseta to stare forever at this moment, in the hall of Thorin control center is in a flash completely silent, subverts the fact took away the spoken languages of many people, but this unusual silent was made noise to break by side on-hook audit until now Tyr finally: 仿佛世界观瞬间遭到粉碎重塑,一直以来习以为常的自然规律天翻地覆,就连平日里永远都板着一张脸维持严肃姿态的罗塞塔此刻都瞪着眼睛,索林控制中心的大厅里更是一瞬间鸦雀无声,颠覆般的事实夺去了许多人的言语,而这份异样的寂静最终被旁边挂机旁听至今的提尔出声打断: „Antwain communication, the Faster-than-light Communication Array core temperature rises sharply- hardware must reach the limit!” “安塔维恩传讯,超光速通讯阵列核心温度急剧上升-硬件就要到极限了！” The Gawain flash comes soberly. 高文一瞬间清醒过来。 The Antwain Faster-than-light Communication Array condition is not good, can only say that is reluctantly available, although Siren had optimized its working pattern as far as possible, but also adjusted the load lower low frequency communication flow the information receiving and dispatching pattern, shared massive code work to the data processing center of Thorin great tree, when this was also only postpones the Lord antenna to work as far as possible the overburning time. 安塔维恩的超光速通讯阵列状态并不好,只能说是勉强可用,尽管海妖们已经尽可能地优化了它的工作模式,还把信息的收发模式调整成了负载更低的低频通讯流程,又把大量编码工作分摊给了索林巨树的计算中心,但这也只是尽量推迟了主天线工作时的烧毁时间而已。 In fact that thing can insist that the present is a miracle, but with „the Noah person” the conversation really brought too many shocking information, Gawain subconsciously forgot this matter. 事实上那东西能坚持到现在已经是个奇迹,只不过与“诺依人”的交谈实在带来了太多冲击性的信息,以至于高文都下意识遗忘了这件事情。 „The situation that showing communication will soon interrupt, asks an issue simultaneously again!” The Gawain language fast opens the mouth fast, „inquired relations between them and Gods!” “说明通讯即将中断的情况,同时再提一个问题！”高文语速飞快地开口,“询问他们和神明之间的关系！” In the hall of Thorin control center, solved star to complete the translation and transformation of text at unprecedented speed, the data transmission system not lets people down sent out Antwain the code after transformation, after temporary delay, an inquiry changed to the information shake that shuttled back and forth in the star space, beyond the speed of super velocity of light passed over gently and swiftly instantaneously crowd of stars. 索林控制中心的大厅内,解星者们以前所未有的速度完成了文本的编译和转换,数据传输系统不负众望地把转换之后的编码发往了安塔维恩,短暂的延迟之后,一段询问化作在星空间穿梭的信息震荡,以远超光速的速度瞬间掠过群星。 Solves star: „As a result of the equipment cooldown demand, our communications systems will temporarily close and maintain, and restarts recently. Before then, we want to understand an issue: How you and Gods relations or are the interaction?” 解星者:“由于设备冷却需求,我们的通讯系统将暂时关闭并维护,并于近期内重启。在此之前,我们想了解一个问题:你们与神明的关系或相处模式是怎样的？” But almost in the flash that this issue transmitted, the Tyre's sound then spread to everyone ear: „Main antenna burns down, Faster-than-light Communication Array engine off.” 而几乎就在这个问题发送出去的一瞬间,提尔的声音便传入了每一个人耳中:“主天线烧毁,超光速通讯阵列停机。” „Monitoring antenna sensitivity moves high,” stands in controlling Belterra in hall calls loudly immediately, „informs Ancestral Peak listening station auxiliary capture signal- do not omit ‚the Noah person’ reply!” “监听天线灵敏度调到最高,”站在控制大厅里的贝尔提拉立刻高声喊道,“通知先祖之峰监听站辅助捕捉信号-千万不要遗漏了‘诺依人’的回复！” Although only then Antwain Faster-than-light Communication Array can send out the signal outward, but establishes in other areas „listening station” can still achieve to the receive of communications signal, now the Lord antenna has burnt down, the alliance lost the ability of initiative communication temporarily, but at least...... everyone also has the answer that the opportunity hears „them” to transmit. 虽然只有安塔维恩的超光速通讯阵列才能向外发出信号,但设置在其他地区的“监听站”仍然可以做到对通讯信号的接收,现在主天线已经烧毁,联盟这边暂时失去了主动通讯的能力,但至少……大家还有机会听到“他们”传来的答复。 The following as if millenniums are every seconds long, everyone-, no matter technology personnel in Thorin control center, is three Empire leaders in three Empire capitals, or in Ancestral Peak Technician Fairy, everyone turned very quiet to fall into silent, as if the breathing one breath will then for fear that disturb in the starry sky the invisible signal, this nervous atmosphere has continued that to represent the Lord antenna to receive the signal to Belterra in front of the indicating lamp to start to glitter. 接下来的每一秒都仿佛千年般漫长,每一个人-不管是索林控制中心里的技术人员,还是远在三帝国首都的三位帝国领袖,亦或者远在先祖之峰的妖精技师们,所有人都屏住呼吸陷入了寂静,就仿佛生怕喘一口气便会干扰了星空中无形的信号,这紧张的气氛一直持续到贝尔提拉面前那个代表主天线收到信号的指示灯开始闪烁。 „Main antenna receives the signal!” „Solves star to break the code!” “主天线收到信号！”“解星者正在破译！” A moment later, „Noah person” the reply finally presents in all person eyes- 片刻之后,“诺依人”的回复终于呈现在所有人眼中- „We and our Gods achieve the coexistence, a syngenesis had parent star.” “我们与我们的神明实现了共存,一同生存在母星。” Is spreading in the study room of blue velvet rug, Gawain put down in the hand slowly the paper, by opens the mouth on high back chair looking pensive slowly: „It seems like...... this was the answer.” 铺着蓝色天鹅绒地毯的书房内,高文慢慢放下了手中纸张,靠在高背椅上若有所思地慢慢开口:“看来……这就是答案了。” „achieve the coexistence......” nearby Amber was knitting the brows GuGu, „before they used ‚achieve’ this word...... the meaning are them, relations with Gods also very ‚dangerous’, after an effort achieves now this quite good condition? Moreover they said ‚coexistence’...... you thought that is what meaning?” “实现了共存……”一旁的琥珀皱着眉嘀嘀咕咕,“他们用了‘实现了’这个词……意思是不是他们以前跟神明的关系也很‘危险’,是通过一番努力之后才达成现在这个比较好的状态的？而且他们说的‘共存’……你觉得是什么意思？” „Except for Noah person, our any guesses is blind guess,” Gawain shakes the head gently, intelligence that now grasps enough we have pondered for a long time. ” “除了诺依人自己,我们的任何猜测都是瞎猜,”高文轻轻摇了摇头,现在掌握的情报已经足够咱们思考很长时间了。” At this moment, the Belterra sound resounds from the magic circuit terminal: „We received...... the Noah person's call, they want to confirm us probably already the off-line.” 就在这时,贝尔提拉的声音从魔网终端中响起:“我们又收到了……诺依人的呼叫,他们好像想确认我们是不是已经离线了。” Gawain corner of the mouth shook gently, at this moment he as if felt has one faintly is awkward is flooding in the universe...... 高文嘴角轻轻抖了一下,这一刻他仿佛感觉到有一丝隐隐的尴尬正充斥在宇宙中…… „Holds the monitor and record, after” moment is silent, he sighed reluctantly, „we do not have the means to respond now.” “保持监听和记录吧,”片刻沉默之后,他无奈地叹了口气,“我们现在没办法作出回应。” At the same time saying, he looked up to Tyr in another communication contact surface. 一边说着,他又抬头看向了另一个通讯界面中的提尔。 „Antwain that side......” “安塔维恩那边……” „In cultivating was repairing,” Tyr did not wait for Gawain saying that beckoned with the hand again and again, „Hathaway big Witch has sneaked in the Lord antenna.” “在修了在修了,”提尔不等高文说完就连连摆手,“海瑟薇大女巫都已经钻进主天线里面了。” „...... Good, you refuel.” “……好吧,你们加油。” ( This chapter ends) (本章完)
