No wonder this satellite is still functioning normally after so many years…

“Zizzizi…”

“Carly, come closer to me.” said Perlis.

“I understand.” Carly moved closer to Perlis, and the two of them pressed together. “Is this okay?”

“No problem, remember to hold me tight,” Perlis adjusted their positions so that their heads were facing the corridor, and her hands, which were filled with energy, were facing the ground, “I’m afraid of getting bumped.”

“it is good.”

Carly hugged Perlis tightly, and the factor shield between the two of them smiled because of the close distance, and their chests were pressed together.

Carly looked up and found that Perlis was concentrating on adjusting the timing of the push. For a moment, she felt like a little bird relying on her human.

She is protecting me seriously, Carly thought.

But Pearlis didn’t think about all this at all. She was looking for a perfect angle so that the ball wouldn’t bounce off the wall when they launched it.

Soon, she caught that angle——

“Zizi-“

A strong factor energy spurted out from Polys’ fingertips. This might not have much effect on the ground, but in space, this little variable allowed her and Carly to move straight up the passage.

“Om-“

Perlis and Carly rose straight in the center of the passage, very precisely, without any deviation.

From time to time, Perlis would release factor energy behind her again to speed up. About a minute later, a triangular door appeared above their heads.

“Be careful.” Carly whispered.

Perlis stretched out her hand, ready to release the reaction force to slow down, but before she could do so, the door opened –

“call out–“

Perlis and Carly quickly flew out of the passage, and in an instant, a huge space appeared in front of them.

“Buzzing…”

The main control room in front of him was at least as big as three basketball courts. The rough yet sophisticated mechanical structures of the Qi Lang people were spread throughout the entire hall, and countless pipes with azure light were flowing intact.

At the end of the hall, a huge panoramic window faced Perlis and Carly. When the two looked out of the window, they were speechless for a moment.

——A deep blue planet emits a faint light in the boundless darkness.

Perlis could only see a partial arc of the planet, but she could still imagine the grand and majestic outline of the entire planet.

That is the Dust Star, where they have lived their entire lives.

“…”

Polys braked in the middle of the hall and used the reaction force to successfully restore herself and Carly to a floating state to avoid hitting the wall.

“That’s our planet…” Carly murmured.

“Yeah…” Perlis nodded slightly.

Looking down at the ground from space, all the complex details have been replaced by chaotic blocks of color. At first glance, it is nothing more than a superposition of blue, white and some chaotic colors, like a paint tray that a careless painter forgot to wash after painting.

Above the white sea of ​​clouds, Perlis saw a small whirlpool spinning: it was obviously the huge storm that separated the Eastern Ocean from the other side, because on the right side of the storm, a slightly dark continent was floating on the ocean current in a terrifying manner, like a huge killer whale floating quietly.

The East Continent, the home of the Qilang people, the Black Tide Land.

On the left side of the eastern continent, after crossing the storm, Perlis saw a small outline. At first, she thought it was just a small island in the sea, but after seeing the outline of the island clearly, she suddenly realized that it was the continent of Ademir.

The continent of Admir…is it so small?

Perlis looked towards the area west of the island, which was the Academi Federation, the most developed area on the entire continent.

Across such a long distance, she imagined the traffic in Wezel, the rain forest in Lavis, and the Tower of Babel that reached into the sky.

She tried to find the Tower of Babel from the perspective of space, but no matter how she looked, it was just a blurry block of color.

What? It turns out that the Tower of Babel doesn’t lead to the sky.

“…”

Perlis turned her head and looked at Carly beside her – she was also staring blankly at the planet in front of her, tears flickering in her ice-blue eyes.

Pearls knew why, but she didn’t say anything and just held Carly’s hand tightly.

At the same time, she opened her factor vision and looked out along the arc-shaped outline of the dust star, looking into the endless deep space—

——She wanted to make sure there was no starlight pollution here.

According to Cecilia Filos’s experience in “Star Staircase Project”, the moment she entered space, she went crazy because of what she saw.

Although Perlis had cast a mental barrier on Carly, it would still be quite dangerous if she was stared at by the so-called “unspeakable thing”.

Therefore, she had to make sure that the [Grave] could truly block the starlight.

“…”

However, no matter how hard Perlis concentrated her vision, she could not see any faint spots of light.

That deep space is really just deep space, there is nothing there.

Even the false starlight they had seen on the ground had no trace of existence at this moment.

why is that?

14) Touch of the Creator (Part 9)

At this moment, an elegant and terrifying face inexplicably emerged in Perlis’s mind.

Oh no… If there is no starlight in low-Earth orbit, then the [Black Angel] would be…

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately dismissed it.

Impossible, the scream that the [Black Angel] made when he fell into the chasm didn’t seem fake…

If the [Black Angel] had not suffered any harm in low-Earth orbit, according to his own statement, he would have remembered the shadow of [Eternal Wall] and would have come back to grab the [Engraved Ink] long ago.

But he obviously didn’t show up, did he?

The starlight is dim, maybe there is another reason… Could it be related to me, or the Lord of the Black Tide?

Thinking so, Perlis closed her eyes and sensed the entanglement of factors around her.

She searched a large area of ​​space near the space station, but ultimately found no living creatures.

At least, this place is safe now…Perlis thought so.

She turned around and found that Carly was tapping blue lights in the air, and the [Little Birds] were already spread throughout the space station.

“There’s no one on this station,” she said. “It’s strange… There’s not even a body…”

“From what I have seen in historical memory, the weapon system of the [Inverted Sword] has not been completed,” Perlis said, “but even so, there should be someone operating it…”

“Never mind that,” Carly said, “I’ll take control.”

[Little Bird]’s reconnaissance had already given Carly access to the entire main control hall. She pointed out a location for Polys, and the two of them slowly flew there.

There is an inconspicuous screen in front of me, about 23 inches. It is placed in the main control room like a stone thrown into the sea. It does not look like something that can control a satellite.

When Perlis was wondering, Carly connected the [Sea of ​​Poetry] on her wrist to the screen, and a line of characters appeared on it:

“…identification in progress…”

“I’m afraid you have to do it,” Carly pulled Perlis beside her, “Come, face the camera above the screen, right…”

Polys held Carly with one hand and a corner of the screen with the other. After maintaining her floating body, she turned her face towards the camera.

“…identified by…”

Along with mechanical sounds, streams of light slid from the bottom of the screen and gradually turned to the hall.

There was a slight movement from the front. Perlis and Carly looked up and were immediately shocked.

“this…”

On the huge panoramic window reflecting the scene of the dusty star, lines of complex characters flowed rapidly, and finally simplified into circles, which were placed in the center of the panoramic window.

The circle looked like it was floating outside the window. It took Perlis a few seconds to realize that it was probably an augmented reality system similar to [Sea of ​​Poetry] and the shooting crosshairs of [Inverted Sword].

It turns out that the panoramic window is the operating screen of [Inverted Sword]…

Looking at the huge blue star in front of her and the crosshairs on it, Perlis felt her heart surge inexplicably.

What a magnificent sight…

“Isn’t it time to contact the ground?” said Perlis.

“The efficiency of the energy wave communication may not be enough. It will take several hours to get from space to the ground,” Carly tapped in front of the screen, “there should be other means of communication. Come on, transfer the space station authority to me first.”

“How to do it?”

“Show me your pretty little face.”

Carly said, and pushed Perlis to the screen again. Perlis blinked at the camera on the screen, and it showed that the authority had been transferred to Carly.

Then, Carly quickly tapped on the [Poetry Sea] terminal in her hand. After just over ten seconds, she snapped her fingers:

“There is.”

Carly tapped gently a few times, and Perlis saw the words “Subspace Communication Protocol” displayed on the screen.

There was a faint disturbance. When Perlis turned her head, she found that several probes suddenly extended from above the main control room, emitting blue factor energy that intertwined and spread out.

Soon, a virtual dust planet made of blue light appeared and floated just above the hall.

In the center of the sphere, Perlis sensed a crack, and she immediately understood the meaning of the so-called “subspace communication protocol” –

——Use the [upper bound] subspace as an information transmission medium to transmit information at an extremely fast speed.

And the virtual sphere of the dust star should be the navigator that transmits information.

“Calling the Qilang Nomadic Army, this is the [Inverted Sword] orbital satellite, can you hear me?” Carly said to the screen floating on her wrist.

Less than a second later, a voice came from the blue sphere in the center of the hall:

“…This is the Qilang Nomadic Army…Received the message…Well done…”

“Find us a test target for space-based weapons,” Carly said, “The weapon system will be fixed soon.”

“…Received…” The voice on the other end was filled with joy.

“Hmm?” Perlis turned to look at Carly, “Isn’t it repaired yet?”

“It won’t be long,” Carly said lazily. “Look at this.”

The girl’s fingers moved quickly on the [Sea of ​​Poetry] screen. After just a few seconds, a small transparent platform rose up at the feet of Perlis, and on it was a [Creator Engine].

“It’s your turn, little white flower,” Carly said, “May everything go well.”

“Ah.”

Perlis looked at the [Creator Engine] with a complicated expression. It also looked harmless. From its dust-free surface, one could feel a hint of the holy color of Hafgard technology, but Perlis’s bloodshot eyes reflected on it looked a little sad.

If Laplace had not betrayed, and allowed Hafgard, who was responsible for repairing the weapon system, to board the satellite and fix it, would the ending of that year have been different?

Unfortunately, no if.

“…”

Perlis placed her hand on the surface of the [Creator Engine], and a faint blue light emerged. She almost immediately knew how to control it.

The sound of factor energy construction came from all directions. Carly knew that in a place she could not see, the weapon system of [Inverted Sword] was being slowly assembled.

Perlis closed her eyes, feeling the red lines flowing out of the [Creator Engine], and feeling the dense factors in the low-Earth orbit constantly gathering on the satellite.

Yes, that’s why this satellite can still operate perfectly after so many years. As an area close to the edge of the “grave”, the concentration of factor energy in low-Earth orbit is very high. As long as the receiver is not broken, there will be an inexhaustible supply of factor energy.

What a perfect weapon this is! It can become an existence of the same level as the [Tower of Babel] and can completely pose a threat to the [Lord of the Black Tide].

Soon, as the construction neared completion, two long transparent tracks extended from both sides of the panoramic window and were slowly built in the blue light constructed by the factor energy.

Once the two tracks are completed, the space-based weapon system of [Inverted Sword] will be completed.

Almost at the same time, Saya’s voice came from the energy communication:

“…ground call [Inverted Sword], target information has been sent, please confirm…”
