Chapter 248 Sojourner Battleship! World Seed! Noetic Access Point!
"Commander-in-Chief!"
At this moment, the communicator in front of the central console suddenly turned his head and reported to the commander:
"Our communication connection with the headquarters was forcibly interrupted by an unknown device, and now we have lost contact with the Prophet of Sorrow."
"In addition, the commander of the Jiralhanae wants to negotiate with you face to face to discuss the next decision-making plan."
The Prophet of Sorrow mentioned by the communicator is one of the core leaders of the entire Star Alliance organization, and he controls the power of the Star Alliance together with the Prophet of Truth and the Prophet of Mercy.
The interests and strategic vision of these three leaders are highly similar, and those who don't know them would think they are triplets.
However, although these three old Dengs look like skinny turtle spirits, they control all the secrets of the Star Alliance and plan all the decision-making deployments of the famous Star Alliance.
The race members of the entire elite civilization must honestly obey their arrangements.
"Ghost Beast...!"
Hearing this, the commander-in-chief of the elite narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and began to think carefully.
"I don't like those sinister villains who are always thinking about conspiracies and tricks, and thinking about how to stab their allies in the back. Don't pay attention to them. Wait until the fleet stabilizes first."
Although the Ghost Beast civilization is a younger brother of the alliance that was convinced by the elites, this younger brother is a typical one who is not convinced in his heart. He only follows the prophet and has become the prophet's most loyal lackey.
In addition, the Ghost Beast and the elite have a feud, and they are the kind of people who don't like each other.
But because everyone is busy "cracking the safe and making money", they haven't fought for the time being.
Once it comes to the critical moment of dividing the money, the elites are ready to take action at any time to show the Ghost Beasts, the BYD stuff, what it means to be a fighting race that trades brains for power!
"Yes, commander-in-chief!"
After receiving a clear signal, the communicator directly ignored the Ghost Beast commander's request for dialogue.
During this process, the entire Star Alliance's advance fleet is about to pass through the outer shell area of the shield world and reach the inner area!
Seeing this, the crew members of the ship immediately shared the real-time picture of the front of the warship to the central console.
Looking at the metal soil inside the shield world, the psychedelic core world is wrapped in the charming ocean and forest, which changes in their sight like a kaleidoscope, which makes countless elites stunned.
Obviously, in their view, only "God" can achieve such an architectural miracle.
The commander-in-chief of the elite also put aside his worries for the time being, turned his head and looked at the holographic screen attentively, marveling at the wonders in front of him:
"This is the world inside the ruins. It seems that our sincerity has moved the gods, and this ruins has taken the initiative to open up for us!"
At this moment, the excitement of the elite crew members sounded inside the hull. They believed that it was because of God's choice that they were able to successfully enter the core of the shield world.
The elites believed that the relics left by the gods would not only be the vicious flood monsters on the ground. Although their race was a bit barbaric, they still had basic aesthetics.
It was impossible to treat the ugly flood monsters as part of the incarnation of some gods.
In fact, when the elite commander was ordered to send troops to investigate the ground of the shield world, he realized that the flood monsters were extremely threatening to intelligent life forms.
These disgusting things not only have a strong desire to attack life forms, but even the spores produced after death can cause life forms to be infected and assimilated.
Such an unpredictable alien bug would never have anything to do with gods.
However, what the elites did not expect was that the flood monsters were terrifying biological weapons made from the body material of the original gods.
Even the gods they worshipped, the forerunner civilization, died in the hands of the flood monsters!
Just after the elite commander reported the basic characteristics and threats of the flood monsters to the sad prophet at the headquarters.
The answer it received was that it was forbidden to attack the flood monsters!
Because the Prophet of Sorrow believes that the Flood is a biological weapon deliberately left on the surface of the Shield World by the Forerunners, and is the guardian of the Shield World.
But according to the observation of the elite commander, the Flood and the Temple Defenders on the ground seem to be in a hostile relationship. Once the two meet, they will fight to the death.
After the Temple Defenders are scanned and identified, they will also attack the elite soldiers, which makes the elite commander very entangled and confused.
Because it found that its own scientific research team was not welcomed by the Flood and the Temple Defenders.
If you really want to say which one is the creation of the Forerunners, the commander is more inclined to the Temple Defenders.
After all, the styles of the two are completely different!
The Flood has powerful tentacles all over its body, and it can even grow metal spikes to stab and scratch the protective clothing of the scientific research team members.
Once a wound is stabbed by the Flood, it will be infected in a short time and become a part of the Flood.
Such a horrific invasion method is definitely something that only evil gods can create. Such a disgusting existence that blasphemes the gods cannot possibly be something created by the forerunners.
In short, according to the aesthetics of the elite commander, the flood is a heretic, a scum that should be completely cleaned up, but it dare not carry out a large-scale sweep.
After all, with the Prophet of Sorrow's orders and the Jiralhanae watching over them, the elite commanders did not dare to disobey the orders and take action to annihilate the Flood below.
In this way, after receiving the first wave of gifts and the physical nourishment of other Covenant fanatics, the Flood was able to rapidly evolve and reach the early stage of the second stage.
If you give them some more time to evolve to the third stage, it is not impossible to cultivate a Corpse Brain Beast!
"Anyway, at least now we don't have to worry about the Flood on the ground. If we continue to delay like this, we don't know when we will be able to see the relics of God."
The elite commander sighed.
Now the entire Covenant is controlled by a few old men like the Prophet of Sorrow. No matter how confused and unconvinced they are, they can only obey the orders of the Prophet unconditionally.
However, as the commander of this scientific research fleet, it can still order the elites to prohibit contact with the Flood, and strictly prohibit fanatical religious believers from sacrificing themselves to the Flood.
Under its control, the number of Flood demons did not explode further.
Seeing the fleet slowly heading towards the inner world, the elite commander calmed down and then continued to issue instructions:
"Prepare the expedition team and combat troops immediately and prepare to go to the core area of the ruins to investigate!"
"yes!"
…
At this moment, the core area of the shield world.
This is a ring space, and the holographic thumbnails of the entire Shield World are clearly presented in this area, and here, Halsey has already seen the real-time situation of the Covenant fleet.
At this time, the Forerunner AI, which had the shape of a metal sphere and claimed to be the supervisor of the Shield World [031 Passionate Witness], floated in front of Halsey and said:
[Dear Recycler, I have followed your instructions and dragged all the Covenant fleets in low earth orbit into the shield world and blocked their communication signals with the outside world. 】
It turned out that the moment Halsey and his team saw the Forerunner AI, they had already gained access to the entire Shield World.
Under Halsey's instructions, the Forerunner AI has passed through the gravity field of the shield world and forcibly pulled in the Covenant fleet parked outside.
[Is there anything else you need my help with now? 】
At this time, the Forerunner AI continued to ask.
Seeing this scene, David couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The designated successor of human civilization must be treated well.
Unlike the Star Alliance outside, they had been tinkering for a long time and fed all the Flood demons on the ground out of the second stage, but they couldn't get in.
And when they arrived for the first time, it was as if they had returned to their own home.
Facing the Forerunner AI's inquiry, Halsey was not polite to the other party and directly stated his intention:
"I need all the information here, especially the technological knowledge of the Forerunner civilization. Please sort out all this information and share it with us."
"So that we can control and use these technologies in the shortest possible time to enhance the power of human civilization."
Halsey's words almost meant "I, a human being! Make money" written on his forehead.
[Sorry, I cannot fully execute your order. 】
The Forerunner AI's voice was as calm and steady as ever, and it explained to Halsey:
[The technological knowledge of the Forerunners has already been compiled and prepared, and there are corresponding prototype machines for study and analysis. The only thing I can do is to pass this information to you. 】
[But the condition is that I need to communicate with your supreme governor to verify that mankind has a complete civilization system. 】
Seeing this, Halsey nodded thoughtfully. It turned out that the Forerunners still tested their own recyclers with this level of factors.
But this is normal. After all, no matter how finely advanced scientific and technological knowledge is broken down, it still requires human beings to have the most basic scientific and technological system and civilization system as support.
Otherwise, even if this set of relics were given to humans, they would not be able to create powerful technological weapons, such as giant ships and cannons.
Without a foundation, there is no leap.
"The supreme governor of human civilization...!"
Halsey subconsciously thought of the UNSC, but then shook his head, thinking that the gang of losers and rice sacks alone was not enough to inherit the legacy of the Forerunners.
After all, the human government in the 004 "Halo" universe has long since fallen apart. There are only large capital consortiums and military organizations. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is divided among princes.
Only the giant companies in the world have completed the integration of three human worlds, and even established powerful trade circles in other universes.
This is what everyone really wants!
As the founder of a giant company in the world, Li Ang is naturally what [031 Passionate Witness] calls the supreme governor of human civilization.
"Okay, I will arrange for you to meet with the human government Archon as soon as possible."
Halsey nodded in response, and then made another request to the Forerunner AI: "Now I need you to report all the technological weapons, items, and core devices in the Shield World."
"Including basic information about the shield world, I want it all!"
Faced with Halsey's request again, 031 enthusiastically testified and immediately sent all relevant information to the other party.
[It has been uploaded to the built-in network of your power armor, please check it carefully. 】
As he finished speaking, Halsey found a large amount of documents on the screen of his helmet, which contained information about Shield World and introductions to weapons.
After reading these materials carefully, Halsey learned that there is a complete ecosystem and protozoa inside the shield world.
For example, the sky flying over the sea of clouds is a species of life unique to the shield world.
But these are not the most important. What shocked and excited Halsey the most is the warships and technological devices here!
In the shield world, there are a large number of Sojourner dreadnoughts. These super battleships with a length of 9,430 meters and a weight of 10 billion tons are the main battleships of the Forerunner civilization.
The ship-borne weapon system of the Sojourner is 28 mass light speed cannons and light mass acceleration cannons, but the key distortion engine device is the core killing weapon of the Sojourner battleship.
This engine device can release powerful gravity waves to directly distort the shields or armor of enemy battleships. If it encounters a fragile battleship, it can directly destroy it in one go!
In the era of the Forerunner civilization, their most commonly used interstellar tactical play was to rely on a dozen Sojourner warships to form an array and use powerful gravity waves to directly distort the enemy's fleet.
This thing is really a technological magic!
In addition, the most amazing technology of the Sojourner warship is its powerful automation. Only a few people are needed to control this huge starship.
For example, the 5,000-meter-long Infinity aircraft carrier of the giant enterprise must have tens of thousands of people to operate it, while the Sojourner of the Forerunner only needs less than 10 people!
What an exaggerated automation system this is.
The most important thing is that under the special arrangement of the Forerunner, these warships can only be used by humans.
Yes, this is how it targets other alien civilizations!
Even the Star Alliance, which is the best at reverse technology and forcibly cracking the Forerunner device, can't control and use these Sojourner warships.
This is the son!
In addition to powerful warship devices such as the Sojourner, the Shield World also has a key prop left by the Forerunner civilization-[World Seed].
As the name implies, the so-called world seed is a technological item that can create a new planetary environment and life species. The shield world that Halsey sees now is actually sown by the world seed.
This thing is incredible. It can actually grow a new world with oceans, forests, and grasslands on a metal celestial body.
There are even genetic materials that automatically generate new life species. This is equivalent to sowing "civilization" and doing things that only gods can do!
No wonder the Star Alliance calls the Forerunners "Gods", they can really do things that only gods can do.
'I guess this thing is the technology that the Forerunners inherited from the Pioneers. '
Halsey, who has learned the origin of the "Halo" universe, understands that the Forerunner's world seed is likely to be the key prop used by the original Pioneers to spread civilized species.
Maybe the ancient humans and the Forerunners also came from the sowing of world seeds!
And now, the Universal Corporation also has God's props, which can sow a civilization and a new world full of vitality on a barren planet.
After heaving a sigh of relief and calming down her slightly agitated mood, Halsey looked at the last key technological device.
And it was only then that she discovered the most important thing in the Shield World.
That was the Noetic Domain Access Point!
