Chapter 304 Dimension Erosion

[This ship has entered the third level of combat readiness. Citizens are requested to abide by the "Wartime Alert Law" and do not go out unless necessary]

[The material delivery method will be changed from "go to the distribution point to pick up by yourself" to "staff will deliver door-to-door", please pay attention to acceptance within the specified time]

【……】

Following the news coming from the border outpost, the entire "Chasing the Light" civilization has entered a state of war. Since the "Song of the Dawn" home ship is the center of civilization, it has been least affected and is only in a level three combat readiness state.

Although martial law has begun, it is still much more stable than the defense supply fleet on the front line.

Sun Engineer was marching on the road in a hurry. Occasionally, the security personnel passing by saw him, but they seemed to have said hello in advance and turned a blind eye to him being still on the street at this time.

It's not that the solar engineer did anything to bribe him, it's just because of his special profession, especially in wartime.

All life support facilities of the home ship are the top priority for maintenance at this time. Engineers who used to have leisure vacations are now basically working with stimulants, and working day and night is basically the norm.

Although the maintenance priority of the artificial sun in charge of the solar engineer is not that high, even if it is deactivated for a short period of time, it will not affect the ecology of the home ship, but after all, it is one of the "life support" parts of the ship, and he therefore

Became a "privileged person" during the war.

Now that the chip in his body has been tagged, he has become a mobile signal source. All security personnel will know what he does, so he can move freely on the street.

Although there is no privacy, this is the ecology here.

After turning countless corners and passing through several zones such as the "square area", "allocation area", and "reform through labor area", he arrived at his work unit.

——A tall tower.

This is the place responsible for the life support system of the entire spacecraft. In addition to him, there are many staff members in other positions here. These are engineers who gathered here for "wartime alert".

However, Level 3 combat readiness is not so strict after all. In their spare time, these engineers can also say a few words. Many people also noticed the arrival of the solar engineer and said hello to him.

After responding one by one, the Sun engineers noticed that some unfamiliar engineers seemed to have appeared in this place, and they seemed to be newly recruited personnel from the government.

Out of curiosity, he learned the identities of those people from his fellow engineers.

"They... they are the maintenance engineers of the 'First Class Confidential Building'. We don't know exactly what that kind of building is, but it is probably related to the increase in our salary. It is probably an unknown production capacity building."

"But I'm not saying that those engineers are too idle... I have worked here for so long and I have never seen them leave. They just gather here all day long and look at us laughing... Could it be something real?

'Privileged Personnel'?"

The words of his companion made the solar engineer understand that these people are probably the real "privileged personnel".

After all, they are not machines, nor do they have Gestalt consciousness, and their quality is not that high. Even if this is a "planned society", there do exist privileged people.

There will always be some positions that are relatively easy and can earn qualifications, and those who can land here are privileged personnel.

But that's all it can do. Although it's a "privilege", if you don't have basic abilities, you will never be assigned to such a position.

Among the more laid-back engineers, Sun Engineer recognized that one of them had published papers in scientific journals, and the other had won many scholarships at a public university, so he was quite capable.

Their privilege is just that the work they do is slightly easier. Maybe even these engineers themselves don't know the specific work they are responsible for.

So the solar engineer shook his head and entered the tower, which was the level controlled by the artificial sun.

There are several solar engineers, but he is the only one here today. There are no problems with the data of the artificial sun, but he must stay at his post until the war readiness state is lifted.

It has been several weeks, during which the engineers have been rotated several times. However, not only has the combat readiness status not been lifted, but it has been upgraded from level three to level two, which makes the solar engineers a little uneasy.

The channels through which he can obtain information are only beautiful, as if it is still a peaceful and prosperous time, but the upgraded combat readiness shows that the war situation is not optimistic.

And as if to confirm his hunch, he, or they solar engineers, received a "secret mission" from the government.

[Personnel with the citizen serial number: SE-086713392, please go to the "Control Tower" to assemble]

This was a notification sent directly to the chip in his body. He arrived at his destination with uneasiness, only to find that the people who came seemed to be solar engineers like him.

The military personnel did not explain much and took them directly onto the off-ship spacecraft. They were not informed of the purpose of their trip until they were halfway through the voyage.

"I think you all can more or less feel that we have actually started a war with the enemy a long time ago, and now is indeed the time when we have no choice but to need you to serve civilization."

"You are all defenders of artificial suns and irreplaceable experts in this field. Your task this time is to restart the 'outlier sun'."

After that, they saw their mission target—a spacecraft entangled and covered by a large number of strange plants. Judging from the style, it seemed to be another of their "home ships."

"This is……"

"Yes, this is the 'Dawn Star' home ship. It is difficult for us to understand why we are also being 'attacked' in our hinterland. Understanding this matter is crucial to our war situation."

“The only thing we know at the moment is that the last announcement from ‘Dawn Star’ was ‘Restart the Sun’.”

"Please rest assured that you will be operating with the most elite special operations forces, and they will ensure your safety on board the Dawn Star."

The solar engineers looked at each other in shock, but could not say any words of resistance, so they had no choice but to follow the team and log in to the "Dawn Star".

At this time, Li Wenyuan, who was five million light years away, gradually realized something.

No information related to "Fire Chaser" can be found in the "Chasing the Light" archive data, but the information synchronized to him by the leader of "Chasing the Light" due to the war has never been interrupted.

He also observed the behavioral logic of the "Fire Chasers" and the individual status of their group, and then thought of the Ether Dragon.

According to the self-reports of humans and ether dragons, ether dragons gradually declined because they "did not adapt to the rules of the universe". Their former wisdom was gone and they became killing machines.

The records of "Chasers of Light" also mention that "Chasers of Fire" were not in their current crazy state of killing anyone they see, and they still maintained civilized sanity.

Although "Light Chaser" believed that "Fire Chaser" was infected by a virus in a certain war and lost his wisdom, Li Wenyuan knew that maybe something similar to the Ether Dragon happened to "Fire Chaser".

This civilization from the last cosmic era seems to have been eroded by the current universe and is no longer adapted to the environment here.
