Lu Yuan strode towards the 12th deck, where there were beacons and temporary storage points for various transported goods - it was located near the edge of the Dawn, and many isolation measures were specially set up. On the way, he met Zhao Min and Ke Xue who came after hearing the news, and Mu Xing (not Mu Xing) who was following from a distance. The two are always separated now and operate on two lines.
Mu Xing smiled and waved to him, and deliberately raised her chest, obviously telling him not to admit the wrong person and not to cause trouble for me - I am a D-cup Mu Xing, not a B-cup Mu Xing. Lu Yuan shook his head, have you been infected by Mu Xing's naivety? If someone on the "Gagarin" space station discovered that Mu Xing's bra/cup changes frequently, they would definitely think...she used a magic bra.
However, in the face of unpredictable risks, he asked several people to go to the observation room upstairs to watch and temporarily keep a certain distance from the beacon.
"Over here," said a geth who came to greet him. "Thank you", Lu Yuan nodded. The geth are very smart, and their learning ability is very strong. Although the geth are still far from being truly humanized, they are already able to simulate them very well in daily life.
Speaking of which, traveling basically relies on walking, and notifications basically rely on shouting. This doesn't look cool at all - at least it doesn't look like a high-tech spaceship at all. But this was a decision made jointly by Lu Yuan and Ms. Liming after discussion. In addition, it also includes ample vacation time outside of work, a large number of entertainment facilities, and a network to communicate with the outside world, etc. This is to ensure that the staff on the Dawn can maintain normal interpersonal interactions. To avoid falling into isolation, decline, forgetfulness and self-denial...
The good side of this is that the staff have sufficient social life and will not become homebound; but the bad side is that they are too lively. Likes to spread all kinds of gossip...
Therefore, in Dawn, it becomes increasingly difficult to hide secrets. Especially when there are a bunch of engineers who think they live in the matrix, a bunch of curious geth, and a bunch of greenskins who are worried about the world being in chaos. Three gangs of guys who are not afraid of death are looking for everything - euphemistically called - "looking for the truth of the world."
So when Lu Yuan came to deck 12, the place was already full of people. Humans, greenskins and geth crowded together without any barriers - this is probably what it will look like after Martin Luther King's dream comes true? Fortunately, the Geth are a race that obeys "instructions" quite well. The Geth who assisted Lu Yuan in transporting goods formed a human wall to block the bad guys from the storage area.
See Lu Yuan arriving. The crowd consciously separated a channel - otherwise, if Lu Yuanyun used his strength to squeeze through, everyone would be in pain. Engineers are very good at learning lessons. The direction the crowd was facing was a cabin that had been completely cleaned out. The container containing the beacon was placed against the wall and had just been opened halfway - but it could already be seen that the beacon pillar lying horizontally began to emit a bright green light.
After Lu Yuan approached. Observed the beacon carefully. He then waved his hand behind him, "This thing is very dangerous, everyone get out!"
"Protest against dictatorship! Protest against power! Strongly demand to know the truth!" Engineers took the lead in shouting, but are you going backwards? "waa-aaa-aagh!" Rock and roll. This is greenskin. Only the geth obeyed the instructions and retreated. To be honest, they were forced here by others before.
"Wow!" Four turrets were erected from the side. As soon as the minigun on the top warmed up, it aimed at the crowd and poured out firepower without warning! "Wow~" The "demonstrators" who were beaten in pain ran away, "Huh? This time it's candy?!" Someone discovered the truth about the bullets and happily collected some and took them away. So the scene changed from guns chasing people to people chasing guns, and it was full of joy.
This is one of the scheduled programs on the Dawn. The ammunition is different every time, which can bring small surprises (the most terrifying ammunition is octopus balls, alive...) Anyway, everyone is wearing personal armor, absolutely not It may be injured. Mass effect firearms can fire anything containing metal elements.
Why do you think there are metal elements in candies? I am curious about this kind of thing, are you still Chinese...
The opaque door closed behind Lu Yuan, blocking the big party behind him. Lu Yuan directly used the "Hand of Bigby" to directly erect this nearly 100-meter-high Prothean creation.
The beacon is as tall as a several-story building, but except for a wide base at the bottom, the main part is only a few meters wide and straight up and down. A more slender antenna-like object stretches out from the top. The whole thing looks like a thin A tall and narrow monument.
The material of the beacon is a mixture of plastic and glass, which is translucent green and looks very smooth on the outside. However, when Lu Yuan got closer, he could see that the green material was like amber. It seemed to be made of solidified liquid. Its interior was wrapped with bundles of metal "wires". These metal wires were scattered, combined, and extended. Let the entire building be like a huge data chip.
After arriving on the Dawn, it was these thin metal wires that began to glow outwards, making the entire "beacon" come alive.
Lu Yuan gently pressed his hand on the surface of the beacon... nothing happened. After thinking for a while, he tentatively stretched his spiritual tentacles towards the beacon...
*****
The beacon is a warning left by the previous generation of civilized Protheans to their successors about the Reaper attack!
The entire Mass Effect story begins with a beacon...
Unlike the members of the Dawn Regiment led by Lu Yuan, they knew the truth about the Reapers and the 50,000-year cycle early on, and have been actively planning and working hard to produce, always pointing their swords at the Reapers!
At present, the entire civilized race in the galaxy actually knows nothing about the Reaper invasion!
Currently, the only two people who have learned the truth while exploring the ruins are one of them, Earthling Jack Harper, who transformed into the "Illusive Man" and formed the Cerberus organization to secretly cultivate human power to fight against the Reapers;
The other person is Saren Atreus. Turian elite, Citadel ghost agent. He obtained a Dreadnought-class battleship from the ruins, the "Overlord" Reaper. Because of his brother Nix Atreus. Disappeared during the attack on the human colony of New Shanxi (the one killed by Lu Yuan in the first three chapters). Saren hated humans extremely. This idiot did not know that the powerful battleship he obtained was actually "alive" and sat there all day long. While having fun on the bridge, he was brainwashed by electromagnetic waves. He was completely "civilized".
Saren believes that galactic civilization cannot resist the Reapers, and only by obeying and actively assisting the Reapers in their return is the way for civilization to survive. Therefore, he was actively preparing for the return of the Reapers in the dark.
If things develop according to normal circumstances, humans should end up with the same fate as the Protheans - the Citadel Space Station opens a passage to the outside of the galaxy, and all the Reapers return instantly! All Mass Effect repeaters are shut down. Various civilized races were divided into different airspaces, and the resistance forces were fragmented, and were eventually harvested one by one by the reapers (of course including humans who caught the last train...
Then the stars intersected and the universe cycled. Old civilizations become history, new civilizations gradually arise, and then someone happens to discover a closed Mass Effect repeater...
However, be afraid of nothing.
Shepard on his own ghost testing mission. I happened to encounter a "beacon" left by a Prothean on Eden. Shepard accidentally triggered the beacon and received a warning message left by the Protheans. Later, during her journey to hunt down Saren, she gradually understood the meaning of this piece of information, and finally stopped Saren's conspiracy - and thus the future of the entire galaxy's civilization. Completely embarked on a different path.
*****
"Is that so?" Lu Yuan said to himself with a smile, feeling the information transmitted back by the spiritual tentacles.
The reason why Shepard felt that the information poured into him by the beacon was confusing and incomprehensible was because the levels of civilization were different. The way information is exchanged is also different. In the previous generation of civilization, the Protheans had evolved to the level of communicating through spirit, and the messages they left behind were of course also spiritual. However, when Proxian's information encountered Sister Xue's "primitive" human brain, it turned into playing the piano against a cow, and almost turned Sister Xue into an idiot.
Shepard later obtained the Prothean thinking method from the ancient plant Thorian, and then unlocked the warning message.
But Lu Yuan doesn't need to be like this. For magicians, in order to communicate with creatures summoned from various dimensions, spiritual communication is their basic skill. Although most of the information in the beacon has not yet been activated, Lu Yuan has obtained some interesting information.
Lu Yuan manipulated the multi-purpose tool, opened the cabin wall in front of him to both sides, then formed a new hull behind him, and moved Lu Yuan and the beacon outside the cabin, exposing them to the outside universe.
Today, the aftermath of the bombardment of the blue giant is still lingering, with chaotic radiation turbulence everywhere throughout the galaxy, even in the shadow of the cantilever. Lu Yuan hid himself in the sub-space and quietly observed the beacon pillar. Sure enough, when it was completely exposed to the radiation of the universe, the beacon seemed to have taken on new life, began to swallow up cosmic rays, and gradually became brighter!
In fact, the Protheans left countless warning messages for the next civilization. Although a large number of beacon pillars were damaged and broken during the long period of 50,000 years, many of them remained intact - such as the one in front of Lu Yuan.
However, most of them are buried deep underground and never see the light of day. And importantly, these beacon pillars are basically exhausted of energy and have become "waste" in the eyes of others. However, existing technology cannot "recharge" Prothean's creations at all.
When this pillar is inside the Dawn, it will suddenly react. That is because it absorbs the energy from the wireless power supply that is everywhere on the Dawn and restarts. But after starting up, the pillar did not absorb any further energy, but only released a layer of surface information. Therefore, Lu Yuan guessed that the real charging method of this pillar is probably radiation energy.
Sure enough, when he moved the pillars outside the cabin, all the "beacons" immediately became active!
Lu Yuan sent a "I am safe" signal to Muxing and the others. He then closed his eyes, stretched out countless spiritual tentacles to the beacon, and read it carefully. (To be continued.
