Abyss Sequence-Chapter 495 - 70: The Origin of the Technology Lock
Perceiving Komore's alarm, Yulia's heart stirred, inquiring: [You mean to say that the technology cap of Blue Star was brought about by the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance's mischief?]
Komore replied helplessly: [That's right, this kind of 'technology lock' is a technology of the Pagara civilization. They are the decision-makers of the Alliance and have the right to initiate a 'three-vote decision' during major events—if three decision-making civilizations approve by vote, it can determine the result of significant matters. And to impose a 'technology lock' on a civilization, it must be approved by the Alliance's 'major decision-making meeting,' otherwise other civilizations in the Alliance have the right to launch an attack on the Pagara civilization.]
[According to the Alliance's Article 13 of the 'technology lock,' the setting time of a single 'technology lock' cannot exceed... in terms of Blue Star's orbital period, that's fifty-four years. Now, the setting time for Blue Star's 'technology lock' far exceeds the regulation, so I believe the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance has already split up, and our Alliance may no longer exist...]
So that's what happened...
Yulia's brow furrowed.
This matter is related to the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance, but she doesn't know why they want to cap Blue Star's technological development.
According to Komore's statement, the Pagara civilization able to impose the technology lock is a high-level civilization within the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance. If it's the Alliance that imposed the lock on Blue Star and now the time has exceeded their regulations, it indicates a high chance of the Alliance's split; if the Pagara civilization imposed the lock independently and Blue Star hasn't received help from the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance to unlock it, it also suggests the Alliance's division.
It seems the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance was severely damaged during that major event, perhaps it no longer exists.
Thinking of this, Yulia sighed with complicated emotions.
No matter what, it's better to try first...
The United Government set up a signal tower in this abandoned city to facilitate communication with the people of Bota Star. Hence, Yulia can easily use a terminal to contact the people of the United Government.
Komore honestly told Yulia that if the Blue Star People wanted to use their technology to contact the Galaxy Interstellar Alliance, it might take a long time because they don't have ready-made inter-galactic communication equipment. Although Komore's group brought most of the knowledge reserves from their home planet before leaving Bota Star, it would take a long time to recreate new inter-galactic communication equipment.
Given Yulia's eagerness, she should first contact the United Government and inquire whether the equipment used to contact the Bota Star people back then was preserved.
Yulia did as told, she asked the people of the United Government.
After all, that was more than eighty years ago, finding a piece of technical information from a vast database is like searching for a needle in a haystack—unless one can apply for the use of a quantum computer.
So, Yulia could only wait here with Komore.
After waiting for a while, finding no reply from the United Government, Komore, being the leader of the people of Bota Star, really didn't have much time to idle with Yulia and excused himself as there were many matters for him to handle as the leader.
Anyway, idle as she was, Yulia didn't use the terminal to browse short videos or play games. Instead, she immersed her spirit into her body, sensing the engraving that had already fused with her body through magic power.
Although Blue Star's magic power is sealed, even an expert like Roger can't reach beyond the Sequence before the seal is lifted.
However, Yulia felt that she could prepare in advance to avoid Yan Luo fighting alone after the birth of the Evil God.
Currently, she has no inspiration on how to 'become an Immortal'!
To eliminate the Evil God, power beyond the Sequence is necessary. Yulia has already 'foundation established,' fully integrating the engravings with her body, so next is to unite the twelve engravings.
The problem lies here—
On the surface, the twelve engravings are all connected by nerves, seeming to have fused, but this hasn't let Yulia 'become an Immortal.'
It's not because of the magic power seal; Yulia indeed hasn't felt any suppression from the magic power seal.
The engravings merely connected through nerves aren't 'fused into one'; they remain twelve engravings rather than 'a single engraving.'
Yulia needs to find a way to transform the twelve engravings into 'a single engraving,' only then can she reach beyond the Sequence.
Having heard from Yan Luo, Roger's understanding of the 'soul,' Yulia vaguely felt the secret to becoming an 'Immortal' was related to the soul.
However, how specifically to do it, Yulia couldn't fathom despite racking her brain.
After sitting idly for two hours at the settlement of the people of Bota Star, Yulia still couldn't grasp that inspiration when the communication from the United Government came through.
From there, they informed Yulia that indeed, the technology to contact the people of Bota Star from back then was preserved, but it was kept in a Doomsday Fortress before the destruction of the United States, and the United Government only knew the clues, not the specific technology.
This technology should have seen the light of day decades ago, but the end of the Lost Ten Years only meant that humans gained the ability to contend with the Abyss. In reality, the first two decades after Blue Star entered the Abyss Calendar were turbulent. During those years, even a Hunter like Yulia received tasks to clear residents of certain areas.
The targets of these tasks were typically those who ruled certain areas, opposing the United Government overtly and covertly, fond of plundering and rape, and brutally ruling their territories, the 'Doomsday Maniacs.'
It wasn't until the twenty-third year of the Abyss Calendar that the United Government completed the unification of Blue Star's regime, exterminating all those brutal, bloodthirsty, and decadent 'Doomsday Lords.'
At that time, the United Government still had many tasks at hand, so the retrieval of technology from various Doomsday Fortresses was repeatedly postponed, and later they simply forgot about it.
It wasn't until Yulia contacted them did the United Government remember that some Doomsday Fortresses still preserved technologies and arts from the Lost Ten Years ago.
Despite Blue Star's technology having surged to a level unimaginable to people from the Lost Ten Years in the current grand and sweeping environment, some technologies in Doomsday Fortresses are absent in the present era, such as technology for contacting aliens.
Modern scientists who know the inside story of those years can't figure out how the United States managed to communicate with aliens eighty-something years ago. Was it relying on pondering force?
The United Government told Yulia about this in the hope that she could help, to activate that Doomsday Fortress and find the technology preserved from those years.
Honestly, associating technology with archaeology made Yulia feel like she had returned to the years before the Lost Ten Years.
......
Bang! Bang!
Two fist marks appeared on the thick door, and then the door was pierced by a flawless white fist.
Yulia withdrew her arm, placed her hands on the left and right sides of the hole, and forcefully tore the already damaged door open.
Her conservative limit strength now was ten thousand tons, easily enough to tear off a titanium alloy door.
After tearing the door open, Yulia did not rush inside. She put on an oxygen mask before walking into the bunker.
As she expected, everywhere inside the bunker was covered in dust, and the air was highly turbid. Seeing the index displayed on her goggles, Yulia frowned with slight distaste.
Though with her current physical condition, her lungs wouldn't be damaged even if she freely breathed inside the bunker.
It's just that a lot of dust would enter her mouth and lungs, which was unpleasant to think about. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Glancing at the bunker's internal map, Yulia turned on the lighting mode of her goggles, making the pitch-dark bunker appear as bright as day in her eyes, helping her to see everything clearly here.
This Doomsday Fortress, after being activated, had no reports of anyone walking out of it until the seventy-first year of the Abyss Calendar.
Yulia passed through the long corridors, busting through several doors, and arrived at the living area of the bunker.
There seemed to have been a riot here before, with numerous papers scattered across the large hall's floor. As Yulia busted through the hall's door, a skeleton leaning against the door fell towards her, shattering into a pile of bones at her feet.
Yulia focused her gaze around the area.
What exactly happened here?
