The Collection of The End

——AD.2158.5.15——

God fort airspace.

Although Anderson’s attitude towards the rudder is a bit like telling a joke, his focus should not be on the "insurance" that is three times the cost of the Normandy construction, but the evaluation of human beings on the castle will improve this matter.

According to the information Conna received from N7, even when it is clearly known that the area controlled by Starlink is only a grain of sand in the Ganges for the entire galaxy, there are still a considerable number of humans who are fascinated by the self-confidence and believe that Starlink The strength is quite strong.

Their logic is roughly like this: "We have defeated the second strongest civilization in the galaxy, so even if we can't catch up to the first, we will at least surpass the third." "Even our strength in the galaxy can be ranked in the top three. The strength of the Milky Way is the same." "As the third most powerful civilization, we should have more power to speak, and let those strange aliens go aside."

The entire logical chain is tightly connected, and there is basically no problem except that the major premise "We are the third in the galaxy" is wrong.

Even if you don’t know the previous styles of the “Galactic Alliance” and the “God’s Fort Council”, just look at the narrow grid-like layout of the embassy area and you will know that the “top three” aliens really think so and do so. of.

The logic of behavior is so similar, in a sense, human beings are indeed qualified to be in the top three.

The most troublesome thing is that this kind of inexplicable self-confidence directly led to the support of the Only Land Party, or the "Guardians of the Earth", and in turn pressured the Star Alliance to do so.

Just kidding, after really seeing the strength of aliens, even people who have participated in the "first contact war" dare not be so arrogant. Is the "magic fleet" very powerful? Can it withstand a fleet attack a hundred times more than it?

You know, Europa VII has almost gathered all the supernatural powers of human beings, and it can be enough to put together such a "magic fleet", which may have a deterrent effect on those aliens, but it is hoped that it can attack the city and be invincible. I really think too much.

However, Star Alliance itself cannot voluntarily admit this, and can only ask the diplomats and diplomatic attaches on the move to maximize the Star Alliance’s influence in the Fortress Council. Therefore, O507 will be able to treat those who wish to participate in the "ghost" mission. Provide strong support.

Although Saron was once his own defeated man, he has the upper hand even with the entire civilization behind him. Therefore, even if the crew on the Dunkirk were dissatisfied with the alien, they would not behave. come out.

"[From the appearance, your ship is one generation behind the Turian. After you came in, it was discovered that it was three generations behind,]" Salon said: "[But it should be enough for this mission.]"

But it really wanted to hit him.

————

After the customs office of Tongshenbao reported to leave, Dunkirk was sailing towards the Mass Effect repeater, and a golden "route" appeared on the star chart.

This is the privilege of the "ghost", which means that the "Dunkirk" can "jump" along this passage, without having to greet and register with the civilization where the repeater is located.

Although I don't know how the other privileges of the ghost are implemented, this alone made Cicero ecstatically danced - of course, it was just a metaphor that this brittle bone pilot would be sturdy and tied during the voyage.

"[I should have told you, Commander Shepard,]" On the bridge, Saran said of the previously interrupted topic: "[What you call the'Halo' is made by the'Ancient Machine' of.】"

"That's right." Kang Na nodded: "Weapons that can easily destroy all life within 2.4 light years. If any of the permanent members of the God fort has a civilization, the situation in the galaxy will not be like this."

"[What if I told you that they also made the ‘Castle of God’ and the ‘Mass Effect Repeater’?]" Sarun stared at Conna with his vertical pupil.

["Unsurprisingly." (model)]

["So what?" (Rebellion)]

【"Appreciate further details."】

Isn't it meaningless to be with Salem? Conna glanced at the second option:

"I can only say that, as expected, it can destroy the'Mass Effect Repeater' that we can't find the research direction and method at all. They are very likely to be the same."

"[Then, the topic goes back to those'care workers', when do you think they appeared in the Fortress of God?]" Sarren said again.

"After the establishment of the Fortress Council?" Kang Na said an answer that she didn't believe in. Judging from Saron's practice of selling customs...

"[They were there'in the beginning', when Ashali discovered the fortress 30,000 years ago, these'guardians' were already maintaining it.]" Salem said.

"Wait...In this case, the castle was empty before the permanent director civilization landed?" Anderson seemed to have noticed something, but couldn't believe it: "Isn't this like, it's like..."

"[Yes, it's like a'halo' with nothing but life just destroyed,]" Sarron grinned, seemingly satisfied with his scaring people: "[The castle, and the whole galaxy The mass effect repeater is a bigger'halo', but when this'galaxy-level' aura is activated, it depends on how the'ancient machine' that made all of this is set up.]"

"So, you are attacking us in the halo galaxy because..." Anderson frowned.

"[The'Hundred Demon' is real, it caused us serious losses 14,000 years ago, and your landing behavior may indeed cause the'Halo' to be launched in advance,]" Salron explained: "[ But the deeper reason is that the castle believes that if the'halo' is activated too many times, it may cause the'galactic halo' to be activated.]"

This is truly a disaster. It's like a child holding a lighter into a gas station. No matter if he makes a fire or not, he will be snatched away by the lighter and beaten again—although this time the child killed him.

"[At present, the general view of the castle is that the'halo' will be activated because the creatures on it evolve intelligence, so the judgment of whether the'galactic-level halo' is activated should be similar, and it is likely to be the total strength of the galaxy, so , "The Pact of the Gods" limits the total number of dreadnoughts (Titan) in the entire galaxy, which is the famous "Pact of Farixon."" Saran continued.

"Dreadnought...what is it?" Anderson wondered.

"Theoretically, it is a more powerful ship than a battleship, but Star Alliance has only one concept about this, and no actual parameters at all." Conna explained.

These things were said during the N7 training, and Anderson really took a break again.

"Oh..." Anderson was still a little confused. After looking around, he raised his finger to a [battleship] that was about twice the size of a normal battleship outside the porthole: "Is the Dreadnought that big?"

At this time, Dunkirk had finished the short jump and approached the external repeater of the Serpent Nebula.

"[No, it's just a regular battleship, the real dreadnought is--]" Sarun glanced back.

Sneer-hum-

At this moment, the mass effect repeater suddenly flourished in blue light, and a huge battleship jumped up.

It is gold-blue in its entire body, and it looks like a "reverse cross" with smooth edges and corners. There is a huge and flat engine nozzle behind the hull.

Its length is...ten times that of the battleship that Anderson pointed at.

"[...Such as this.]" Sarron shrugged, "[That is Asari's strongest dreadnought ship,'Destiny Ascension'.]"

————

"[Of course, if we only rely on those premises, we cannot come to the conclusion that there is an'Ancient Machine',]" After leaving the Serpent Nebula through the Mass Effect channel, Sarun returned to the topic: "[That is also very possible It’s the legacy that a certain civilization that runs through the galaxy left us by playing to death.]"

"So, the Castle Council found evidence?" Anderson frowned.

"[Accurately, the evidence found the castle of God,]" Salron glanced at his universal tool: "[According to your calendar, in about 1900, Querian (Quarian) home star Lenoch The intelligent machines awakened their self-consciousness. They formed a mechanical civilization that was not recognized by the castle, and called themselves'Geth'.]

Jies?

Compared to the other dazed crew members, Conna remembered the origin of the word almost immediately.

[Actually, the table is a "Geth", which is a more troublesome issue, but that is not something that "you" needs to worry about. 】

So, does the "more troublesome thing" begin now?

"Please elaborate!" Kang Na took a step forward.

"[Yes, it was an'AI awakening disaster' the same as the'omnic crisis' that you humans have ever experienced,]" Salron obviously misunderstood Conna's focus: "[But unfortunately, Kui Liren chose the completely opposite approach to yours.]"

"On the contrary... Did the quarians choose to kill the intelligent machines?" Kang Na frowned.

"[I was also surprised when I read this information. At that time, 90% of the social operation of the Querians relied on these Jies. Where did their self-confidence come to defeat them?]" Sarun looked at his universal Tool: "[Jes initially tried to negotiate with the quarians, asking them to recognize that they are a new race and a new civilization, but only in exchange for planned destruction, so he directly set off a rebellion and killed the quarians to the end One percent of the original population. Because of the creation of this major threat to the galaxy, the embassy of the quarians in the castle was revoked, and the remaining population can only live in the "Quili Wandering Fleet".]"

Conna and Anderson looked at each other.

—— Fortunately, the Earth’s "Intelligent Crisis" was handled in a timely manner.

——But even if they are really rebelling, they can't make much trouble, because key departments are prohibited from using bionics.

——Except Conna, you.

"So, what happened to these ‘Jes’? They were wiped out by the Fortress Fleet?" Kang Na asked.

"[No, after hiding in the'veil of Perseus' formed by the remains of that war, they haven't expanded to other cantilevers in the galaxy for nearly 300 years, but they can occasionally find their scouts on some civilized planets. , There is hardly much threat.]" Sarun replied.

So how did the O513 table come from? You dare to use it directly after you build an alien table. You are such a warrior.

"Then, ancient machine..." Conna remembered the previous question.

"[It is from the mouths of those'Jes' captives,]" Salen narrowed his eyes slightly: "[According to what they said, organic civilization must be born in the universe, and organic civilization must create synthetic civilization, and synthetic civilization It will inevitably destroy organic civilization', this is the will of the'ancient machine', and they just follow it.]"

...Is the meme so long this time? There are only four letters on the earth.

No, it shouldn't be a meme, otherwise this will not be read and spread casually, even if he is a ghost.

Of course, it is also possible that this "will of the ancient machine" is a meme that is only valid for "Jes".

That’s even more troublesome. If the memes will undergo targeted changes, it means that the “ancient machine” can send different memetic signals to the civilization that produced smart machines.

So, how did the "Ancient Machine" know that a civilization has produced an intelligent machine?

The most likely answer is-through the mass effect repeater.

Based on the previous conditions, it is inferred that the halo, the castle and the mass effect repeater are all made by "ancient machines".

After Conna finished her brief thoughts, she found that the nearby crew members showed thoughtful expressions, some on the first floor and some on the fifth floor.

"Then, what is your purpose for telling us that these are classified as confidential information?" Kang Na, who has already broken through the atmosphere, was the first to ask: "Do you think of a way to fight the'Ancient Machine' that will inevitably appear in the future?"

"[This kind of thing is actually not classified as a secret. Basically they know everything they should know, but they don’t care.]" Sarron grinned: "[It's like, before you discovered the'zero element' and'mass effect', Oil only lasts for 50 years, and coal only lasts for 200 years. I haven't seen you panic about it.]"

"That's because of longevity... uh." Anderson tried to speak for humans, but paused in the middle.

"[Yes, because of lifespan restrictions, no one is interested in the'future' beyond their own lifespan,]" Salron nodded his head: "[Those women with long life spans of thousands of years and long blue tentacles are not interested, and Which round should we worry about?]"

Woman with blue long tentacles...Conna thought about the appearance of the all-female Asari, and decided not to discuss this topic.

"[I tell you so much, just to let you know about the dangers that may be encountered in the next mission.]" Sarron flipped his universal tool and showed it to Conna and Anderson.

[Task: Investigate the artificial intelligence research conducted by Cylarian scientist Dr. Qian Shu and his assistant ‘Carly Sanderson’, and can judge how to deal with himself and the research results. 】

[Mission Location: The Veil of Perseus, Xido Galaxy. 】

In other words, how many times does Dunkirk's insurance pay?
