Chapter 717

This mechanized voice made Gawain stunned for a moment.

He is no stranger to this sound. He first heard it when he was detached from the satellite. It was the synthetic sound warning and announcing the activation of the escape system. After that, it was the system sound that he would occasionally hear when connecting to the satellite. He was already certain. , this sound belongs to a satellite in space or to an entire cluster of space facilities.

He raised his hand, and then tentatively touched the big black book again, but this time, there was no response.

Bertiera couldn't hear the voice in Gawain's head, but she saw the expression on the latter's face changing instantly, and she was naturally curious: "What happened?"

"This thing..." Gawain concealed his embarrassment, "What is it used for?"

Bertila stretched out his hand to the big black book, letting it fall in his hand, and flipped the other hand over at will: "It records countless knowledge, and can be set in the setting bar... huh?"

The pages of the black book were turned by themselves under the drive of magic, but no wonderful images appeared when the pages were turned. On each page, there were red crosses and a line of dazzling red words: "Agent Access Disconnected, please check the authorization validity."

Gawain also saw the words that appeared on the pages, and now he was finally sure: this thing probably seems to be... damaged by himself.

"This...how could this be..." Bertila also showed a rare expression of surprise and even a little panic, "It has never happened for hundreds of years...it has never..."

"Well... you don't care about its state," Gawain said in a blunt tone, "First tell me what this thing is for, and tell me its origin, and see if I have any clues."

Bertila was stunned for a moment, then remembered Gawain's identity as an "overlander". Although she kept reminding herself, every time she saw Gawain Cecil's face, she would always forget this as an "overlander" ”, must be well-informed, right?

"The Book of Ultimate... As I said, it's an extraordinary item we found in this ancient ruin, and it was tightly guarded in a complex device, but that device was already found when we found it Destroyed over time. This book is a record of seemingly endless knowledge, and will be presented in the most appropriate language depending on the reader. When we first discovered it, it was full of unrecognizable symbols, but several times Once opened, it began to present us with content in common language.

"Its first role is to present a variety of knowledge according to the needs of the reader, but only for things that exist and can be seen in the world, such as the location of a mountain or the length of a river There is also a detail about this point. It can present very little knowledge at the beginning, and many contents have errors and omissions, or directly tell the reader that 'the information is incomplete and needs to be updated', but over time, it can describe things Begins more and more, as if it were always learning in some way;

"And its second function is even more incredible than the first: after setting certain conditions, it can even deduce the evolutionary results of certain things, such as the success rate of an experiment with certain conditions, Its accuracy in this regard is terrifying, and it can even deduce changes in the situation on the continent, such as... Ansu's civil war, part of which is based on its deduction..."

As Bertiera spoke, Gawain's brows were already wrinkling. He never thought that the Death of All Things would actually hold such a powerful "artifact" in his hands, and when he heard about the "deduction" After the part, he couldn't help but ask: "So,

Is Cecil's development also in its game? "

"...No, that's what confuses me," Bertila shook his head, "it can't answer all questions about extraterritorial rogues, and it refuses to deduce the development of everything centered on extraterritorial rogues, the hint is... Dangerous access, authorization denied."

Gawain's mind was already running fast.

Can't answer the question about extraterritorial rogues... This is easy to understand, because first of all, this extraterritorial rogue doesn't come from this world, and secondly, almost all "information" about extraterritorial rogues is compiled by himself and the eternal sleeper The brain made up, this thing called "The Ultimate Book" should not be connected to the brain hole of the eternal sleeper, but it refuses to deduce the development of things related to the extraterritorial wanderers... This is a bit "proactive" factor.

The first thing he thought of was the sentence he heard when he touched the Book of Ultimate: Illegal media was detected to log in to the system.

There are two explanations for this sentence: Gawain, the transmigrator, is an "illegal medium", so he can't log in the Book of Ultimate, or... The Book of Ultimate is an "illegal medium", so he can't log in the "Satellite Essence" of Gawain!

In addition, the deduction function of the Book of Ultimate mentioned by Bertiera also made Gawain think of the origin space, the virtual world created by the Eternal Sleeper, or strictly speaking, the "simulation calculation" based on virtual world technology. Function".

The Ultimate Book was dug up hundreds of years ago by the end of all things, and the spiritual network of the eternal sleeper was completely completed recently. Therefore, this book is definitely not linked to the spiritual network, so it should be connected to another network with A super system with powerful computing power that can perform simulation calculations...

Of course, it is not ruled out that this deduction ability is the function of the ultimate book itself, rather than being linked to any other upper system, but considering the prompt sound when I touched the book before, and the incomplete information of the book at the beginning and later stages With the feature of slowly updating the database like downloading something in the background, Gawain still couldn't help thinking that this thing was just a second-order dealer of information, and the things it presented were linked from elsewhere.

Bertila saw that Gawain was lost in thought. Although she was full of doubts, she forcibly suppressed it and did not speak. It was only the wriggling vines and the slightly trembling roots in the hall that revealed her uneasy mood. Gawain also noticed this. Movement, but forcibly did not care.

He has thought about the key stage:

If it is assumed that the Book of Ultimate is linking to another data source, then this data source is known to include the following characteristics:

There is a large amount of data, mainly about various things on the continent (the characteristics of minerals distributed in mountains, rivers, flowing plants, etc.), and it is suspected that it can accurately scan the earth;

It should have strong computing power, which can be used to deduce events or conduct simulation experiments;

The data is updated at any time, so the Book of Ultimate that has not been activated for a long time took a long time to update and synchronize these data after it was suddenly activated by the End of Everything;

Gawain didn't know how many things in the world that fit all of these characteristics, but he at least knew about a constellation of black-tech satellites in the sky...

Although these are all his own speculations, the more he thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible, and when he finally looks at the Book of Ultimate, his eyes inevitably become weird:

Mom, I'm afraid this thing has been secretly rubbing its own net!

I have been through two lifetimes, yet I still encounter the situation of being hacked! And rubbing the net is still a book! What's the point of this?

Knowing in the heart that the Zentraedi fleet, which has long since disappeared, is unlikely to return to deal with the after-sales problem for this matter, Gawain can only curl his lips in his heart, and secretly decide to turn back and let Daniel open again on the Eternal Sleeper's Mind Network. Several ports...

Bertila has been waiting quietly until now, and at this moment finally couldn't help speaking: "Do you... have any clues?"

Gawain finally woke up from his thoughts, and while agreeing casually, he couldn't help staring at the book of ultimate again. At this time, he thought of the sound he heard when he touched this book, and how the book would disappear after touching it. In the case of losing the effect, the truth seems to be clear at a glance:

Apparently, it was a black IP that had been surfing the Internet for a long time and suddenly encountered the physical connection of the security system, and then was directly killed by the self-defense mechanism of the genuine system... No wonder it refused to deduce the events related to "extraterritorial wanderers", which is obviously It is a mechanism to avoid danger!

It should be a good thing to get rid of a rubbisher, but Gawain couldn't help but feel a strange feeling of regret:

Although this ultimate book is rubbing the Internet, it seems that... it can query more things after connecting to the satellite system than my own "satellite essence"...

This may be because of some mysterious ancient technology, or because it can only link to one satellite, and the Book of Ultimate is linking to more data sources, but either way, this thing seems to be a good thing At the very least, Gao Wen himself currently has no data deduction and historical data query functions other than mobilizing satellite surveillance footage...

Gawain's expression became bizarre again, so much so that Bertila next to him thought that the "foreign wanderer" in front of him was too emotional when facing a book. This might be a "foreign wanderer". It was caused by a unique ethnic characteristic, but she couldn't help but say again: "Are you..."

"It's nothing," Gawain finally got rid of all those thoughts for a while this time, he waved his hand and looked at Bertiera with an embarrassed expression, "According to my knowledge, this book should be a 'fake', so……"

"You actually see that it's a fake?" Gao Wenlai just said casually, trying to find a reason for the damage to the Book of Ultimate, but he didn't expect Bertila to say in surprise, "The foreign wanderers really have the A lot of mystical knowledge... it is, it's a fake, it's a description of itself."

Gawain concealed his embarrassment and asked curiously, "Description of yourself? How does it describe it specifically?"

"A false key, used to open the door of truth, this thing is a fake, but the method is also very useful. This is the first sentence that emerges every time the Book of Ultimate is activated. Of course, even this sentence now It's gone."

Gao Wen: "..."

This was the first time he heard that "rubbing the net" could be described so poetically...

Yes, through this "self-report" of the Book of Ultimate, he is more certain that this thing is rubbing the Internet.

He shook his head and brought the topic back to his own rhythm: "Because it is a fake, it is far more fragile than the real one. In fact, when you got it, it was already on the verge of its limit."

Bertila blinked.

Gawain continued: "And the dangerous experiment you are conducting here further accelerated its damage. Its refusal to deduce the incident about me, an 'extraterritorial wanderer', is actually a warning, it is telling you that its The endurance is close to the limit, and some functions have begun to break or be limited."

Bertila blinked again.

"So it's a pity that it's been completely damaged by overuse and I can't fix it."

Bertiera didn't blink this time, she just looked at Gawain seriously for a while, and then asked blankly, "You really didn't break it?"

"……no."

Bertiera: "...Oh."

Gawain pulled out a stiff smile and said slowly: "It's a pity that it's damaged, but as the 'artifact' that the Society for the End of Everything has always relied on, it may be the best destination for it to be damaged after the end of its service. You also said that this thing is useless to you and I will accept it as some kind of memorial."

Bertila's expression seemed a little stiff, but she nodded: "It has been yours since just now."

Gawain thought for a while, and seemed to ask casually, "Do you care?"

Bertila shook his head: "No... this may be its fate."

...

At the same time, on the surface, the Margarita Knight who was on standby suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge and incomparable canopy of the giant tree in surprise.

Countless huge leaves with light runes on the surface suddenly fell off from the branches for some reason. A gust of wind blew through, and large pieces of beautiful leaves fell to the ground like dancing. For a time, the landscape of this fallen leaves can be described as magnificent.

"Why did the leaves suddenly drop?" the female knight muttered to herself in a daze.

"God knows," muttered Pittman beside him, "maybe it's too cold."
