Star Railway: Building a Foundation from the Beginning

"There is no ...... Probably ......"

"No, there must be a chance, the fifth starfish is not an invincible existence, there must be a chance!"

"Take it easy, at least not what is missing and come back to life and embrace the stars. "

Although many people did not say it directly on the surface, in their hearts they silently recited the eulogy for Arillo-VI.

is so tenacious, but not favored by fate, there are many disasters.

......

After the words of the core members of the Five Elements were finished, they were taken out by the agents.

The door to the hallway was gently shut, and the O5 Councillors watched in the darkness in the direction of the door, silent for an unknown amount of time.

Until the other lights in the room come on in turn, spreading light throughout the room.

O5-1 looked around and tapped his fingers on the table, making a crisp sound.

"Well," he said, "what bad things have happened in the time we've been in the middle of the meeting." "

The first to speak was O5-2.

"In the past half hour, another 20 million square kilometers of land in Yalilo-VI have been destroyed in fog. "

"No creatures survived, and all the agents who went to investigate were missing. "

O5-4 followed:

"There is a serious panic among the population of Beloberg, and the stability of the city is declining. "

"Someone in the Galaxy Network took the opportunity to publicize the incompetence of the Foundation, doubting the authenticity of the Foundation's past files, and encouraging suspicion of the Foundation. "

Esta was worried about Bai Xuan, who was in Arilo-VI, and let O5-4 directly break the defense, and began to mutter:

"Does the Foundation dare to make this kind of meeting content public?"

Shouldn't you hide quietly, admit your mistakes to death, find an opportunity to hedge with the water army, and finally launch the history books of the years to rewrite everything?

But before she could think about it, she could figure out who and which organizations could benefit from the disparagement of the Foundation.

O5-13 threw out an even more astonishing melon.

The O5 councillor, who had no real power, flipped through the virtual light screen:

"The situation of the four is also manifested in me. "

"One of the Foundation's facilities in the Central Star Domain has been attacked by unknown forces, and it doesn't hurt. "

"But, for now, it is clear how the information leak happened. "

Hearing this, the audience's first reaction was, is this armed force crazy?

Dare to provoke the Foundation, dare to attack the Foundation's facilities.

Others quickly regained their composure.

If this group of people didn't go crazy, but had planned the attack well, wouldn't that mean that they had a deep grudge against the Foundation.

Maybe it's a mysterious organization like the Fifth Church.

Then everything makes sense.

A mysterious society that believes in a supreme god has taken the opportunity to take revenge on the Foundation for some more ancient vendettas.

O5-7 then spoke:

"The GOC has started the pizzola one step ahead of us, and with our negotiations, the Secretary General has agreed to push back the general offensive by ten hours. "

"But IMHO, their thaumaturgical attacks don't work at all, the fog seems to be intentionally absorbing the EVE particles used for the attack, and blind fire coverage is tantamount to suicide. "

As the words fell, the Foundation's highest power center fell silent.

The thirteen councillors sat quietly in their seats, and from time to time one glanced at the only empty chair, hoping for the owner of the chair to appear.

But no.

On the table, there was a lonely gold name tag inscribed with the Administrator.

The Lord may have thought that the situation was still under the control of the Foundation, far from the point where he was needed.

Some O5 councillors speculated.

Perhaps this is the truth.

After a moment, O5-2 leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and sighed:

"If this continues, we will have to think about the last resort. "

"Wait. I don't want to do Chronos, no one wants to go this far. O5-8 shook his head in disapproval.

O5-1 basically confirmed what each of the speakers was thinking at this point, and turned to those who had not yet spoken, waiting for their opinions, or a solution that could be implemented.

"Twelve, what about you?"

O5-12 looked up, froze, and met the old man's gaze without evasion, then yawned.

"I've been leading the investigation of the ancient complex that accompanied Containment-C-2001, as well as tracking down the Fifth Church and its sprawling offshoot in Area C, the Five Elements. "

He raised his hand to cover his mouth, and his expression was exhaustive—it was hard to imagine that such an expression could be seen in an O5 councilor, not elite, not sharp, not noble, but like a worker.

After saying this, he paused, waved his hand to summon the virtual light screen, and followed the report.

"A lot of evidence has been collected to prove that there was more than one generation of ancient civilizations in the universe, and they had very different appearances, languages, and cultural systems. "

"But one thing they have in common is that they were all hit by fog at some point in history, and they tried to resist it, and none of them survived. "

Audience: "......?"

This conclusion is a thousand, ten thousand times more terrifying than the fact that the Yalilo-VI anomalous event is related to the Fifth Starfish.

Until just now, there were people who had the mentality that the existence of Arillo-VI had nothing to do with me, who was thousands or tens of thousands of light years away?

But if such a disaster is to be repeated, it will be repeated again and again, burying all civilizations in the lost past.

Well, their fate is related to the Yalilo-VI, it is related to this battle.

"Isn't it, could it be that those ancient ruins belong to ancient civilizations that were destroyed by the Fifth Starfish at different times?"

"This ...... It's a little too scary, and we're still wondering why there aren't civilizations older than the Foundation, but we didn't expect this to be the case. "

"This universe...... It's so dark, isn't it...... It's like a farm. "

......

O5-12 said, spreading his hands.

"For some unknown reason, most of which are speculated to be antimemetic occlusions, is the same thing that happened at Site-82 of the Regional C Division. "

We can't normally see, hear, or touch these obscured objects, but they do exist. "

He adjusted his posture, his gaze swept over his colleagues, and his expression gradually became serious:

"Guys, has anyone heard of BartHughes?"

The lawmakers shook their heads.

"Nope. "

"Nope. "

"A nobody?"

O5-12 exhaled softly and looked at O5-3:

"Three, please read BartHughes' personal file for us. "

O5-3: "Due to direct orders from Overseer Twelve, this requires additional authorization. "

"I agree. "

"BartHughes, born in Jan, was a supervisor for a time before leaving the company to build some kind of unauthorized instrument on his own...... Presumed dead. "

"Enough. O5-12 interrupted O5-3's reading.

"Hughes had the genius to anticipate what was going on," he said casually, "- the ancient ruins reappeared in the fog, followed by a dazed end. "

The others listened thoughtfully to every word O5-12 said, their expressions calm, serious and slightly curious.

This Hughes actually didn't come into their sight, either he was too mediocre, or he consciously hid something, not wanting more people in the world to know. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

For now, it should be the latter.

“...... We have no way of knowing how he obtained this information. "

"Perhaps it's the Antimemetics Division's remarkable work that leads to unexpected territory. "

"Maybe it's the sharing of information by other research institutes, or maybe even the help of an outside mystical force. "

"Without further ado, twelve. O5-1 interrupted, "We need critical information. "[]

"Okay. O5-12 smiled.

"When he finally decided to leave the Foundation and build his idea weapon in a place unknown to anyone, he gave me a box and told me to open it when the fog fell. "

"I've opened it—"

Then, in the virtual light screen in front of everyone, a photo appeared.

It was a piece of paper.

O5-10 felt a little incredulous: "A piece of paper, nothing else?"

"He walked farther than I could have anticipated. O5-12 said calmly.

"I'll take a look at it, it's ...... on this" O5-5 zoomed in on the image, skimmed it quickly, and extracted the most important content.

"—The Fictional Enlarger will be the last piece of the puzzle?"

O5-12 bows slightly, looking away from the photograph.

"Sitting beneath the hut where we first met, the last weapons to be loaded into the central tower of the ruins. "

"Hughes believes it can end this war of ideas, and so do I. "

The others were silent for a while, and they needed a short period of time to understand the matter and assess the feasibility.

The more urgent the moment, the more you can't bump around like a headless fly, and you can't see something like a life-saving straw and weigh everything down.

What if it's a wire without insulation?

After a moment of silence, O5-5 raised his hand and asked:

"It would be impossible if no civilization could build this weapon without knowing the five-dimensional structure, as you said before. "

Indeed, this is true. O5-12 smiled in response, "This is the reason for the destruction of all twelve rounds of civilization. "

"—Its outer defensive barrier is so strong that no one can get a glimpse of it all and walk away. "

"However, if you look at only one side at a time, the situation will be very different. "

The room fell silent again, and it took nearly a dozen seconds for O5-12 to continue.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers curled slightly, and slowly pointed with his left index finger:

"Five dimensions, five sides, five evil tentacles. "

"Before us, there were twelve pioneers, six found the ruins, one failed, and the remaining five worked together to build it. "

"We are the last piece of the puzzle, the thirteenth round of civilization, beyond the sixth side of five. "

"This piece will set it on fire. "

He clenched his five fingers into a fist, and his words were accurate.

"When an area is created large enough to encompass a planet, or even a galaxy, that being will not be able to function in this macrocosm where there is no longer an unknown space, and the microcosm will not be large enough to influence the macrocosm. "

"It's worth a try. "

"Facing a being that makes up the origin of the universe?" O5-9 looked at him with a strange expression, "This act is tantamount to suicide." "

O5-12 thought for a moment, then added:

"You've seen the results of the ruins, nine—an all-knowing space, and there is no such thing as the unknown. "

No one has any more doubts.

But no one explicitly supports it.

No one is even more unequivocally opposed.

When the chess player sitting across the board changed from a human to a supreme divine, the O5 councillors were no different from mortals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to admit defeat. O5-12 stood up, raising his voice.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were attracted to him and firmly tied to his body.

"There's a reason why civilizations in the galaxy are so young, it's the great filter of civilizations, brutal enough to unfold two blood-stained paths before us. "

He swung his right fist in a small, short way.

No matter how elegant and noble the dress is, no matter how difficult it is to associate it with force, such an action is enough to give people strength.

"Either repeat the mistakes of other races. "

"——Abandon all theories of knowledge, once again return to the era of Ru Mao drinking blood, hoping that the next round of civilization will be heroic enough and strong enough to defeat the tentacles in the fog, so that everything will reappear in the sun again. "

"Either that or become the last piece of the puzzle, activate the launch tower that has condensed the hopes of civilization for several rounds, and do it once and for all. "

"I hope so. O5-11 sighed.

O5-12 nodded, looking at O5-1:

"I propose a vote to transport the Fictional Extender to the Ruins and activate the Launch Tower to neutralize Containment-C-2001. "

"The proposal is valid. O5-1 nodded approvingly, "Who's in favor?"

O5-1、O5-2、O5-4 . O5-8, O5-11, and O5-12 raised their hands.

"Who's against it?"

O5-6 and O5-7 raised their hands.

O5-13 looked at O5-6 and raised his hand as well.

O5-1's gaze swept over everyone present before falling back to O5-12:

"O5-3, O5-5, O5-9, O5-10 abstained, and the proposal was adopted 6-3-4. "

O5-12: "Let's get this over. "

As the voice fell.

Lines of large black letters appeared on the light screen.

[The Chronos Protocol has been approved by a majority vote of the Overseer Council as a possible action.] 】

[The activation of Protocol Chronos means that Foundation control of Containment-C-2001 is imminent or has expired, and is beyond the maximum capacity of the Foundation Branch Complex. 】

[The Foundation will make the preservation of civilization its first priority, and the following procedures are to be activated immediately:]

[Containment-2000 activated in response to a possible event?] The world of K-class Babel is at a loss;]

[The fully automated information broadcasting system is activated, sending Level 5 threat alerts to all branches of the Foundation universe and realizing real-time sharing of strategic information;]

[All powers of the Strategic Balance Committee in the area of WMD control are temporarily transferred to the Overseer Council;]

[The Memphis Fort controlled by Site-C-03 is to be immediately executed in Crisis Response Plan-065, and all external access is closed;]

[The First, Second, and Third fleets are assembled at Yalilo-VI, and the commanders of each fleet are granted full arms clearance, and each ship enters a full-power combat state to launch strikes against any non-friendly intelligent entities;]

[The ETD-type psychotropic agent stored at Area-12 and Site-C-21 is to be unlocked, along with the aerosol diffuser, and transported to all major security facilities by any possible means within one hour, and all facilities receiving ETD--are to be released simultaneously under the unified command of management in accordance with Class V Extreme Biohazard Protocols;]

[Geographic information on security facilities is open to all employees duly contracted by the Foundation, and all personnel stationed abroad are to report to the nearest facility immediately;

[Foundation contacts Beloberg authorities to evacuate residents of high-threat areas;]

[In the event that containment-C-2001 has not been effectively alleviated within 2 days of the implementation of the above measures, the last resort is to be implemented after the overseer council has reached more than half of the votes in favor.] 】

[The project aims to move the people of Arilol-VI to artificial planets in batches through existing spacecraft, and to preserve the Arilol-VI humans in an irretrievable K-class scenario, without taking into account any derivative disasters.] 】。
