The first thousand and forty-eight chapters legend first appeared
If the crisis that will arise in the future gives Rip a sense of urgency, then the troubles that may arise within the court of time have given Rip a little bit of defense.??
Not for the time court, but for those who may split the court in the future.
Rip is an orphan, and every Lord of Time is an orphan. They were chosen because even if they disappeared early, they would not cause any additional trouble to the long river of history.
The orphans who are displaced and will die of cold and hunger in the next moment are undoubtedly the origin of most of the Lord of Time.
It was the Time Court that saved Rip. For Rip, the Time Court is his home.
He would rather ruin himself than destroy the court of time.
But Rip also knew that sometimes necessary sacrifices were inevitable in order to achieve some goals. He was mentally prepared, but before that, he needed to clean up the traces and avoid any possibility of exposing himself in advance.
Gideon, who is directly distributed among the Lord of Time, from the switchboard, is undoubtedly the most likely to expose his existence.
"Sir, the information has been sorted out."
"Okay," Rip said, "download them to this computer."
He pointed at a computer next to him. Although Gideon wondered why he was so useless, he would not ask. It did as he did. In less than half a second, Gideon said again, "The transmission has been completed, sir."
"But I don't understand very much. Your time is very precious. If I extract the exception information for you, it will undoubtedly save you a lot..."
"Bang!"
Rip opened Gideon's switchboard box directly, and the sharp crowbar inserted into its circuit line. Almost instantly, Gideon's voice stopped abruptly.
Rip is undoubtedly very familiar with his spaceship. All he cut off was Gideon's data. The spaceship itself was still in operation, but without Gideon, everything was switched to manual mode, and there would be no doubts at the berthing station.
"Huh." Rip let out a light breath, shrugged, and said to himself, "That's because... you'll have a long sleep soon."
"Don't worry." He patted Gideon's line shell, "When you wake up, you will become a brand new you."
In combat, the damage of the spacecraft is undoubtedly the most common thing. Although the time spacecraft is very strong, it is difficult to survive under the attack of high-density and powerful artillery fire. The time spacecraft is only the Lord of Time, which means that once the spacecraft is damaged, all the maintenance work is completed by the Lord of Time.
It can be said that the Lords of Time are more powerful than their combat abilities when repairing spacecraft.
A time master with a high mission completion rate may not be able to have high combat effectiveness, but his repair ability must be very strong, because those who fail to repair the spacecraft will always stay in time.
As a guy who aims to complete the task of the Time Court as his first goal, Rip is naturally the best among them.
"I should really be grateful for the danger of Gideon being destroyed by those few times..." He couldn't help but shake his head.
He had encountered very critical situations several times. A group of guys with very strong firepower accidentally entered the penalty area of time. Rip, who originally thought it was just an ordinary expulsion operation, collided with them head-on. In the blink of an eye, the spacecraft was beaten into a sieve by them.
If Rip hadn't left the main force at that time, the other Lords of Time would have arrived soon, and it would have been Rip's last time.
Even Gideon, the most core of the spacecraft, was penetrated. You should know that the spacecraft where Gideon is located is the thickest place in the entire spacecraft.
Gideon was naturally repaired by Rip afterwards, and Rip has encountered such dangers several times, but he has been through them without any danger. Now, Rip feels that he should be grateful for the emergence of this danger.
Because if it weren't for them, he wouldn't have had so many opportunities to repair Gideon and thoroughly study Gideon's structure.
After spending a whole day and night, Rip resets Gideon's core and sets Rip's first commander as himself. This is not a difficult task for Rip, who is already familiar with Gideon's structure.
He is not afraid of being seen by the Court of Time. Perhaps for humans, disguise is a tightrope, but for artificial intelligence, it cannot be simpler.
As long as Rip tells Gideon the specific things, artificial intelligence will naturally tell them.
There is no difficulty.
The Gideon switchboard of Time Court is also artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence reviews what artificial intelligence can produce, and nothing will appear.
And the most important point is that everything is normal at this time and the war is far from coming. No one will notice Rip, the tiny Lord of Time.
He is just the most inconspicuous member of the long river of time. He has countless outstanding masters of time in the past, and countless outstanding masters of time in the future. He is nothing at all.
"Next... I know that I'll wait for the restart."
Rip, who had been busy for a day and a night, finally had a breath. He threw the tool aside and then came to the early surveillance video, resting and observing.
One day...two days...three days...
The images on the surveillance video have not changed at all. The Lord of Time's life on the spacecraft is undoubtedly very monotonous. In addition to directly confronting each other, he is entering various eras to complete the tasks.
It can be said that most of the time Lord is in a state of doing nothing and rushing to do when he is on the spaceship.
Of course there can't be any major changes.
But each Lord of Time also has a professional habit. They like to collect special small things from different eras and regions as trophys, and then bring them back to their spaceships.
Rip also has this habit, and the one in his storage room is his bedroom.
Rip didn't think he had to find any clues, but it was always much better than doing nothing. However, he didn't expect that on the fourth day of the screen, he actually found something unusual on the video.
"Sir, I'm glad to see you again."
After half an hour of restarting, Gideon's voice appeared in Rip's ears again. At this moment, Rip seemed to suddenly realize that the things in the picture had changed unknowingly before he knew it.
"You're here just right, Gideon, turn the picture back." Rip said immediately.
"Okay, sir."
Gideon immediately played the picture back and forth, but after several twists and turns, Rip didn't see anything wrong, but he always felt that something had changed.
"Strange..." he muttered.
"Have there been any changes in the picture?" Rip asked Gideon.
As artificial intelligence, Gideon plays the game where everyone comes to find faults, undoubtedly much better than humans, because it can be compared directly from the data level, rather than using the eyes to receive information like humans, before they can see specific images.
Soon, Gideon also answered, "No, sir."
But this answer obviously didn't satisfy Rip, he narrowed his eyes and pressed his hands on the table, "Every minute as an image, all images are compared together."
"I've tried it, sir." Although Gideon said so, it quickly completed Rip's task. This task processing amount was not worth mentioning to Gideon, and it didn't even use half a second.
But compared to directly from the data level, this time it is a direct view from the picture.
Half a second later, Gideon's voice rang again, "It's strange, sir, I found the difference, but there was no abnormality in their data at all."
Rip was too lazy to care about any data or not at this time, so he said directly, "Where is different, please point it out."
All the images on the screen disappeared, and then there were only the last two left. The two images looked exactly the same at first glance, but Rip quickly saw the difference, and then his brows frowned.
"I don't remember bringing something like this back."
He pointed to one of the pictures and said that the surveillance image was yesterday, and a crystal ball placed on the pedestal was placed on the head of Rip's bed, and the day before, this thing did not exist.
"I have never recorded that Mr. brought back this thing," Gideon replied immediately, "and when the unknown sphere appeared, Mr. had never left the spaceship and had no record of stopping the ship."
"It's so weird, I can't find the exception on the data at all." Gideon continued.
Rip was silent. Crystal balls are almost gone in the future, and the time court will naturally not have them. However, Rip has read a lot of information about the customs and cultures of different times and places.
Crystal balls originated in the 2000th BC and were related to mysterious forces such as divination at the beginning. In the Middle Ages, it rose on a large scale in central Europe, but at that time, the so-called mysterious power had completely disappeared, and all that was left was just some deceptive tricks.
By the 21st century after 2000 AD, the crystal ball had completely become a decoration, and only a small number of guys who liked strange cultures were still using it, and it continued until the 22nd century. With a series of technological frenzys launched by cutting-edge laboratories, Wayne Enterprises and Palmer Technology, similar things were completely swept into the trash can of history.
It was as if there was some force to erase them from this world. Only in the 23rd century, retro culture was popular, and then crystal balls and other products disappeared completely, and even handicrafts were pitifully rare.
But Rip knew that this thing was not a simple craft, it could be related to wizards and magic.
Mysterious power.
Could it be that all this series of things are related to magic? The message passing in the dream does feel a bit magical, but the guy in the dream told himself that it was divine power.
And if it is really a magical move, then there is no need to tell yourself that your future enemy is a wizard, just tell yourself the wrong information.
Wait... The divine power also said that he shouldn't have seen that battle.
But this doesn't make sense. Future enemies will tell themselves their information in advance and then let themselves kill the danger in the past?
Rip rubbed his head crazy, and he felt his mind be a little confused.
He slapped the table and rushed back to his bedroom. As expected, the crystal ball had disappeared, and along with its base, it disappeared very thoroughly.
Well, although it is gone, I have learned some information at least. If nothing unexpected happens, it is the trick of this crystal ball, and it seems to have the ability to make others ignore it. Not only that, even artificial intelligence like Gideon cannot detect it...
This is also a useful clue...probably...
"Sir." Although Gideon was completely loyal to Rip, he did not know the information Rip saw in his dream. The secret is a secret. It cannot tell anyone. Rip knew that it was difficult for him to believe that he was being treated by someone at this time, even if it was adjusted artificial intelligence.
But Gideon was still loyally completing his work, "I have to remind you that the parking station is coming."...
Before, Rip stayed there for a day and a night when he repaired Gideon. With the time wasted at the beginning and at this time, it was almost two days. If the time was continued to be extended, it would be easy to be found at the parking station. Although there would be no doubt, routine inquiries are definitely indispensable.
In this case, it is definitely much better to have one less trouble than to have one more trouble.
It is not the first time for Rip to complete the mission, and it is certainly not unfamiliar to the spacecraft entering the station, but this time, after experiencing an extremely dangerous and bizarre future war, Rip once again stepped into the base of the Time Court's base and looked at the busy crowd around him, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of emotion.
"Valuable peace..."
"Oh, see who is back."
Just as Rip had just got off the spaceship and had not left the place, a voice came from afar. Rip looked up and saw that it was his friend McVin, who was also the Lord of Time. So he immediately raised his spirits and hugged him from afar.
The half-day rest time passed quickly. In the afternoon, Rip needed to go to the headquarters to submit the task. In theory, he had a rest time after the task was completed, but most Rip would not rest, but soon found a new task.
In his own words, even if he is a man who can travel through time, there is not much time to waste.
But there is one exception, that is Anna.
It just so happened that Anna was also at the base at this time, so if nothing unexpected happens, Rip should have rested for a while and stayed with Anna.
Anyone who is familiar with Rip knows that he has a good impression of Anna, and the special nature of the Lord of Time makes it rare for the two to meet. The time they can meet is always very short. Finally, they encountered it once in the base, so this rest should be longer.
The base of the Time Court is not a military base. In addition to the mooring station, the headquarters, the residence area, entertainment area, rest area of the Lord of Time, and the transmission area to the logistics time node are all here, and its area is very large.
