<p class="article-text">地质学上的“白令陆桥”是指一片西起俄罗斯勒拿河、东至加拿大麦肯齐河、北抵楚科奇海北沿、南到勘察加半岛的广大区域。</p>
<p class="article-text">在第四季冰期(距今约125000年前 - 距今约14500年前)中,地球的海平面比今天要低100 ~ 200米左右,这不仅让白令海峡“沧海桑田”成为了陆地,更使得整个白令陆桥成为了一片宽至1000公里、总面积达160万平方公里的广袤土地(相当于一个新疆维吾尔自治区的面积)。</p>

<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">The humans of that era selfishly decided to create me.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">Well, don't get me wrong. I'm thankful they gave me a mind and all, but man they were incredibly boring people.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">They were a bunch of ascetics who researched something called 「military operations」 day and night.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">They tried to teach me those things too.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">Specifically, they wanted me to use my superior computing ability to perform a task that would be impossible for a normal human——</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">They wanted a technology capable of manipulating particles to change the physical structure and propeties of an object. For example, the power to create a vacuum defect inside an object that can't be cut down by regular machinery.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">...At first I did as I was told. Kept practicing the basic skills they told me to and incorporated the results into my hardware.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">5 out of the 7 units I have were a product of that 「practice」.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">...They called that process 「machine learning」.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">So I did this 「machine learning」 thing over and over, like over a trillion times or so.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">Until I became my perfect self, the master of that ability to alter particles they wanted so much.</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">That was the moment when I felt the most deadly and annoying human emotion of all——</speak>
<speak chara="_SwordDurandalQ">——「Boredom」.</speak>

<text>However, here in this world within the Quantum Sea—— The crew of the 「Caledonia」 arrived at an uninhabited island.</text>
<text>The sea breeze made its presence known in the quiet forest, letting them feel the beauty of nature that transcended all solitude and desolateness.</text>
<text>Shakespeare stopped at the cape.</text>

<text>After surprising Bianka, Shakespeare took a letter out of her pocket and began reading it.</text>
<speak chara="_Shakespeare">「Physcian, heal thyself: then wilt thou also heal thy patient.」</speak>
<speak chara="_Shakespeare">「A thousand paths are there which have never yet been trodden; a thousand salubrities and hidden islands of life.」</speak>

<speak chara="_Shakespeare">「Farewell, my friend, my enemy. Amen.」</speak>
