Luo Binhan saw a lot in three days of drifting in the sea of fire. He encountered floating mountain peaks, flying one-eyed fish, and stars that flew down and sang around people when they rose. Even so, the spectacular warship, which looked like something out of a science fiction movie, still shocked him.
It hangs high in the sky, becoming more majestic as it gets lower. Luo Binhan estimated that it was at least six or seven fishbones in size. There are dotted blast holes on the edge of the bright, smooth base with no visible gaps at all.
A loud and solemn announcement came from the spaceship.
"...We bestowed order and civilization on tens of thousands of primitive planets; we conquered all dangerous alien creatures and viruses; we defended the supreme glory and authority of our great motherland! Now, we have crossed the long galaxy and arrived in this land. A brand new land. We are the first fleet of the sacred Serlando parallel country in the original universe. Friends in this world, there is no need to panic! There is no need to be anxious! From now on, you will return to the glory of the Holy Kingdom, and you will be with us. Together we face an infinitely glorious future!"
The sound repeated over and over again, echoing above the sea of fire for a long time.
Luo Binhan listened for a long time, and finally looked at the other two people as if he had just woken up from a dream. He found that Jing Huang and Momoluo were both looking up at the airship. It was difficult to tell their mood at the moment from their expressions.
After a while, Momolo lowered his head first.
"One," he whispered softly, "is that there was a butcher in ancient times..."
"You're not done with this, are you?" Jing Huang said.
He kicked Momolo with his foot, then picked up the bowl and drank tea. Momolo asked: "Mr. Xuanhong, can I have a drink too?"
"Get your own bowl."
Momolo even lit up a little with joy. He picked up the bowl with anticipation and filled a large spoonful of tea soup from the jar. As he blew the hot air from the tea soup, the entire deck was suddenly enveloped in a bright light.
Luo Binhan opened his mouth and raised his head. A beam of light shot down from the majestic airship like an aircraft carrier, which just enveloped the Silence at this moment.
"We," he hesitated, "were we discovered?"
The other two looked at him calmly. "Ah." Jing Huang said while chewing the ingredients in the tea soup.
The bright light on the deck also alerted others, and Yaleriga and Zhouba soon appeared in front of them.
"Captain?" Yaleriga asked, looking at the spaceship in the sky.
"Ah." Jing Huang said listlessly.
"Which type?"
"Colonial tendencies. They just issued a declaration of ownership of the new territory. Now we are all from that country, Senlando."
"Holy Senlando Parallel Country." Momolo corrected him in a good voice.
Yaleriga raised her eyebrows. She was obviously going to say something, but before that happened, a translucent virtual image appeared on the deck illuminated by the light.
"Hello everyone." The shadow said politely, "Please don't panic, I am the second-class officer Keore of the first fleet of the Holy Land Parallel Country. First of all, can you understand my words? "
Everyone on the bow looked at each other. "You said it." Jing Huang answered, holding the bowl.
"Excellent." Shadow said, "You can understand our language, which proves that the latest history-oriented theory proposed by the scientists of the Holy Kingdom is correct, and proves our great success in timeline research. And for you , my dear primitive friends, I would like to express my congratulations to you. Because communication is the first step to reach consensus and will also be a big step for your civilization."
"Oh." Jing Huang said.
The phantom observed them with a proud but polite attitude. He has golden hair and emerald eyes, a handsome face, and fair complexion. He looks very similar to the Europeans and Americans in Luo Binhan's hometown, but he is nearly two meters tall, and his leg bones look weird. Luo Binhan didn't know if this was projection effects, racial differences, or simply the other person's individual characteristics.
His eyes fell first to the deck. "You have a rather dangerous ecological environment," he said. "I can see that you have created unique shipbuilding technology for this. Although your power system is crude, you are still worthy of praise for the synthesis and manufacturing of fireproof materials. This Technology is obviously not something that just a few of you can accomplish on your own, so I request to meet with the top leaders of your society."
"This is not the kind of technology you think of," Jing Huang said, "This is magic."
Phantom Kyore smiled considerately and implicitly. He looked at the pottery stove and tea bowl next to Jing Huang with a rather vague look of sympathy.
"Of course, of course." He deliberately lowered his voice and said in a soft and almost suppressed sympathetic tone, "I can understand, I can understand, for you who were born on this terrible planet, the whole world is Dangerous, chaotic, and unknowable. But things will be completely different from now on... All the gods and idols you fear, revere, and worship will become a thing of the past. The tolerant and loving Holy Kingdom will grant you all knowledge and wisdom. , completely liberating you from the cave of primitive ignorance. In the future, you will understand that behind all the mystery and magic are hidden exquisite and accurate scientific principles. You must learn mathematics and other natural subjects from the beginning to truly understand this The wonderful and complex material world. By then you will know that wizards and ghosts do not exist, and witchcraft and magic are illusions. Science! This is the true name of your gods!"
"Indeed, science is an amazing system of tools. Hypothesis, inference, demonstration, elimination of influencing factors..." Momolo said kindly, holding his bowl of tea soup, "Before the destruction of our star, my hometown was also very Being good at this, it has a delicate beauty to it.”
His voice was so soft that Phantom Kaiore didn't seem to hear it. The beautiful blond and blue-eyed illusion opened her arms passionately and gave them a hug from across the air.
"My simple and lovely alien friends! Now I announce to you with great pride: the old era has passed, and the new era is about to come - your world has completely changed!"
Jing Huang swallowed the last mouthful of soup in the tea bowl and then put the bowl down entirely.
"Are you dreaming?" he asked.
"We have this kind of brain wave activity that occurs during sleep, of course." Phantom Kyore replied, "We are highly similar to you in our physiological structure, so most of our behaviors are the same. My dear alien friend , it is learning and knowledge that make the difference between us, not the structure of the body.”
Jing Huang listened and stared at the sky. "Fire thieves are idiots," he said.
Phantom Kyore looked at him in confusion.
"Fire thieves are idiots." Jing Huang said, "After you fall asleep, repeat this sentence in your dream. As long as the collective consciousness reaches a certain number, the White Tower will be able to detect that you are qualified. They will contact you from your dream and tell you The correct location of the tunnel point. Then you build another ship, go to the nearest alliance office to register a new member and apply for technical assistance. They will assign a new area development and protection specialist to teach you how to avoid the universe on the regular side during initial exploration. .”
They and Phantom looked at each other.
"The Fire Thief," Phantom Kyore tried to understand, "Is this a god that you believe in or despise?"
"No." Jing Huang immediately said reflexively, "He is Lisheng. One of your people. A pure idiot."
Phantom Kaiore was obviously confused. When he was full of doubts, Jing Huang suddenly frowned and looked at the deck at his feet.
"Are you fireproof?" he asked.
"Of course, yes, without a doubt." Phantom replied a little incoherently, "There is no doubt that the hull of our fleet can withstand extreme heat."
"I'm not talking about your ship, I'm talking about people. Now that you've mastered tunneling, don't you have any other special skills? Fire protection? Mine protection? Explosion protection?"
Kaiore looked at him a little funny, stunned, as if he heard a cold joke. Jing Huang breathed out irritably.
"Your ship blew up." He said coldly with a straight face.
