"Earth, is it really inconspicuous?"
His Majesty Emperor Wu asked Ronan in turn, "Professor Luo, with your knowledge of space-time structure, you should have no shortage of observation methods. Do you think the current local space-time of the earth is really inconspicuous?"
Guided by her questions, Ronan couldn't help but think about the multiple intertwined space-time structures here, as well as the mysterious fog maze, and the abyssal sun wheel hidden in the deepest part of the maze - a logical model using the universal language of Tianyuan.
Ever since the two started talking in Tianyuan Common Language, there was no going back. Ronan had to switch to this thinking tool.
It's just that there is no exclusive vocabulary like "Earth" there, so it needs to be borrowed from here. This also forms a more direct comparison:
Earth, and the central star region where it is unknown.
Ronan didn't even care about His Majesty the Emperor Wu's sly rhetorical question - he himself needed a reason to mobilize all his brain resources.
From the time Emperor Wu broke the problem to the present, he received a stream of "taboo" and "divine text" information, which allowed him to use a new perspective to re-examine the world he was accustomed to, as well as the chaos still hidden deep in the maze. secret.
There is more to gain, but more needs to be sorted out. Especially when it comes to information far away in space, it is impossible to judge.
After a complicated consideration, Ronan finally answered honestly:
"I don't know the criteria for being 'eye-catching' or not. In fact, I don't even know the distance between the earth and the central star region - this, I really want to know."
As he said that, Ronan pointed at His Majesty the Martial Emperor with a gaze that was simply burning hot.
The relative position of the two stars was undoubtedly one of the most direct ways for him to understand the entire incident. This is part of the key missing link between the Earth and the light-bearing galaxies in the inner universe simulator.
Ronan once had an idea: so many traces of Tianyuan civilization remain. Maybe just on the edge...a little outside?
However, if there really is such a prosperous interstellar civilization "nearby", swept by such a majestic space-time torrent, the distance that can be described as "nearby" is really a problem?
Ronan still has no intuitive sense of the scale of the universe. In fact, almost no one can have an intuitive sense of this scale. Some can only use rational thinking and calculation, but this path is not operable due to the lack of information and data.
If His Majesty the Emperor Wu could give a standard answer...
His Majesty the Emperor Wu did answer, but it was not what Ronan expected. She said: "On a cosmic scale, it is not meaningful to measure the distance between two galaxies like this. What is meaningful is the 'window'."
"window?"
"It's two places in time and space that are common... Of course, it could also be a certain point, a certain interval, or a certain period of evolution. Because of a high-intensity event, or a more ingenious accident, there is such an opportunity that opens up this meaning. The 'window' gives two star fields that may never be able to exchange information, and there is an opportunity to become each other's 'substantial meaning', and it is just an opportunity."
"...I know this." Ronan was a little disappointed. No matter how artistic His Majesty the Emperor Wu's words were, he had already considered this. "There is the Star Gate behind it, right?"
His Majesty the Emperor Wu nodded and smiled, ignoring Ronan's emotions and continuing at her own pace: "Yes, there will be a 'Star Gate' in the future, whether it is temporary, permanent, natural or unnatural. ...In short, we must finalize this opportunity to achieve a complete connection between the two star regions and complete meaningful exchanges for us."
"so what?"
"So the earth and the central star region...at least a certain star region within the radiation range are in such a window period." His Majesty the Emperor Wu said with determination: "I can be sure of this."
Ronan's tone was irritated: "That's natural. You and Levi are here. You can't just press the speed of light line and rush here since the day of the Big Bang..."
Even counting from that day, it may not be enough.
Ronan simply suspected that His Majesty the Emperor was using this method to test his background and see how much information he had.
Thinking about it now, this "test" might have started earlier. For example, a few months ago, she said that "there is no future mentally"...
It can probably be determined on the spot that Ronan's knowledge of the "current" central star region is infinitely close to zero.
Fortunately, he replied seriously at that time, such as "spiritual and material aspects go hand in hand", so His Majesty Emperor Wu did not burst out laughing on the spot, which can be regarded as a profound self-cultivation.
Ronan now doesn't cover his face and sigh with regret, which also proves that he is a bit smart.
Today, His Majesty the Emperor Wu still vaguely looked at Ronan with a smile that day, mysterious and unpredictable - even though he had received so much information, Ronan still couldn't grasp her.
Is this what a mystic is?
His Majesty, Emperor Wu, was quite aware of his state. His eyes were focused on him, as if admonishing and teasing: "Professor Luo, impatience will reduce your judgment."
...it's you who lowered my judgment!
Ronan took a deep breath. During this period, he must have been led by His Majesty the Emperor Wu. In fact, when we got along with each other in the past, it was almost the same, and I didn't see how he was doing.
But tonight, he always wanted to take the initiative.
This was something he would never have thought when facing His Majesty the Emperor Wu before. It also includes previous disappointment, impatience... and so on.
This is probably the emotional barrier caused by the two people stepping out of the comfort zone of past interactions and having in-depth communication. It will probably take a period of shock for the two sides to re-anchor their relationship.
At least Ronan did.
He pursed his lips: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding...please continue. Didn't we say 'window'? I'm listening."
His Majesty the Emperor Wu was not polite at all: "I need to instill a point of view in you first: although the universe is vast, there are almost no secrets in the central star region, a place where civilization is highly prosperous.
"Including 'windows' - in fact, every 'window' that appears will be on the hottest news list in the shortest time."
Ronan tried to understand her words: "So, the 'window' information is transparent in the central star sector?"
He was vaguely aware of the crux of the problem, but his ability to express himself still made people anxious.
His Majesty the Emperor Wu "added" for him: "Once there is communication with the distant and unfamiliar star field, a 'window' is formed. It will send out the signal that makes the people in the central star area crazy.
"That's the smell of the new 'possible'."
At this point, His Majesty Emperor Wu suddenly asked again: "Do you know, what is the Lonely Island Galaxy?"
"Uh, I know."
"What's its standard?"
"Converted according to Tianyuan Empire's standards, it is approximately ten billion light years away from the central star region..."
"Now the Star Alliance standard has doubled."
"Really?" Ronan twitched the corner of his mouth and continued, "There must be a completed star gate over there. Taking it as the origin, the effective governance radius is about one hundred thousand light years? But what if it is a large-scale galaxy system that can be determined? , the governance radius can be expanded to the entire galaxy... Well, this is a colonial galaxy."
"Yes, under such a design, territory, market, power, and ambition will all be enlarged in the context of rapidly expanding time and space."
His Majesty the Emperor Wu cast his gaze on the boundless night sky: "So whether it is the Tianyuan Empire era or the Star Alliance era, the investment in window monitoring is far beyond the imagination of a native planetary civilization like the Earth... Otherwise, it is not enough to support the genetic problem. Infinite ambition tied to a limited life course."
Ronan was a little curious: "The investment is probably..."
"It's roughly equivalent to burning a hundred solar systems every day?"
"..."
"So, once there is a 'window' signal, it basically cannot escape the capture of trillions of monitoring stations in the central star region and the isolated island galaxy, not to mention the cloaks of the gods covering the entire region."
Cloak of the Gods…
Ronan vaguely remembered that it was not the first time he heard this word from His Majesty the Emperor tonight, but he had been overwhelmed by more shocking information before, so he didn't react much.
But now, his eyelids twitched unconsciously.
His Majesty the Emperor Wu expressed a simple and straightforward reasoning result: "Under such circumstances, the earth cannot be an exception... But if such an exception occurs, there must be two premises."
Ronan listened silently.
"First, the information source of the 'window' does not appear within the scope of the Covenant's governance, so there are no monitoring stations nearby... This is still possible in some extreme areas and ultra-remote areas in the extreme outer reaches of isolated island galaxies."
"Second, just covering up there is not enough. There must also be a shield here on the earth. So that it will no longer release corresponding signals during the window period...covering various channels, including the polar regions of the abyss."
"Shield?" Ronan blinked.
"Because of this, Levi who came from there became a lost person. As far as I know, he has been looking for the way back for many years... There is no longer a steady stream of interstellar adventurers here. , and the Covenant’s colonial fleet.”
"So, what kind of shielding is it?"
His Majesty the Martial Emperor withdrew his gaze towards the starry sky: "It is not easy to get a full view of the power of such an isolated area, but..."
"But what?"
His Majesty Emperor Wu looked at him: "You have such a taboo spirit, don't you feel anything at all?"
Should I feel something?
Ronan sighed: "Your Majesty, can't you just say it?"
"I can't judge easily. Frankly speaking, I should have arrived in this star field earlier than Levi, but something happened... It was an accident during the trip. I spent a long time sleeping and recuperating here, and even... Some special means must be used.”
This was the first time His Majesty the Emperor Wu mentioned his origins. Although it was vague, Ronan still pricked up his ears.
"My identity..."
His Majesty the Emperor Wu returned his hand and put the scroll lightly against his chest: "You should have seen my basic information. Every item of information on it is true."
Ronan had seen it, but he only remembered that His Majesty Emperor Wu was born in a wealthy family in Xiacheng. From childhood to adulthood, his growth path was very clear.
Of course it's also legendary.
But the combination of front and back...is similar to reincarnation?
Ronan felt like he had entered a certain mythology.
On this point, His Majesty the Emperor Wu did not discuss this in depth and returned to the topic: "Anyway, when I was able to deeply intervene in the earth's society, I had missed many key nodes. Some things were not clear, and it was not easy to get involved too deeply... I can only give you a reminder."
Ronan's upper body leaned forward slightly, as if he was listening.
However, there was a slight pain in the chest, but it was resisted by His Majesty the Emperor Wu's scroll:
"I think you should not add any more burdens to your grandfather in the near future."
