During the installation and testing of the "Anchor Control System", Nordrassil had grown to hundreds of kilometers in length. Fifteen assault ships were fully powered to barely hold back the world tree. When it was finally possible to transplant it, they encountered another problem. A new question has arrived.
The temporarily opened space gap could not bear the passage of Nordrassil and fifteen assault ships at the same time. In order to solve this problem, Li Liang had to transfer all the flying units in the guard robot army from the earth. Even so, it still cost a lot of money. It took a whole day to move the World Tree bit by bit into the Gate of New Spiritual Principle.
When Nordrassil landed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then witnessed a magical scene together.
The thick root system spread, and Nordrassil "grabbed" the ground firmly and began to grow vigorously. Within a few minutes, the stretching branches filled the entire space. The crystal leaves moved automatically without wind, forming a deafening sound. Then, The branches rolled back and the trunk shrank, and it took an hour to stabilize.
In the end, a giant tree nearly fifty kilometers high, with a crown covering a hundred kilometers, stood proudly. Its shape was a bit like a tropical woody plant, with plate-like adventitious roots extending from the base, and knotted knots that entangled and spread around, supporting the main trunk.
There are no shadows under the canopy, filled with hazy brilliance. Every leaf seems to contain endless stars, and the stars are shaken off when there is no wind.
A strange smell rippled out, smelling a bit like damp wood or the mist in the forest in the morning, with a faint smell of fireworks, passing through the nose and lingering in the heart.
The human soldiers took off their helmets one after another and looked up at this great creation that belonged to the spiritual world. The engineers were stunned and their world view was refreshed again, while the Tifami people were already deeply intoxicated and uttered vague murmurs.
Soon, someone discovered that the hard ground under their feet became soft, and some kind of translucent liquid gurgled out. Someone leaned over and picked up a handful, and the liquid ran down the fingers, leaving no trace of wetness.
The Well of Eternity…
"woohoo~~woohoo~~"
Many short Tifami engineers were flopping on the ground, shouting excitedly.
The human soldiers and engineers could still maintain restraint, after all, the commander was present, but they were really itching to look at the Tifami people.
At this time, Li Liang smiled and shouted: "Disband!"
Wow!
Everyone rushed to the nearest tree root, started to touch it, and then burst into exclamations.
"Fuck, it's hot."
"Is this... made of jade?"
"Hey, don't bite your damn teeth..."
"Quickly, release the engineering drone to measure the tree circumference..."
Everyone was talking and discussing enthusiastically. Some people climbed forward on a tree root surrounded by ten people. A group of people stood below and booed. The engineers took out the instruments they carried and started collecting data.
Li Liang smiled happily.
He barely managed to cut off a main branch with a Dao sword. It can be seen that the World Tree is one of the strongest things in the entire spiritual world. Of course, this thing cannot be lit or broken. He even considered building a plank road on the trunk. , and then build a family hotel among the tree canopies. In the future, everyone will have the opportunity to get close to the world tree.
Only open to humans, of course.
"Let's go over and have a look," Li Liangchong waved to Robben beside him, and together they walked to the nearest root system.
He stretched out his hand and touched it. The roots were indeed warm to the touch, and had a smooth texture similar to jade, with a deep light blue color. When he looked closer, he felt that the shadows inside were thick, as if they were "unfathomable." .
Dang Dang Dang.
Robben tapped his knuckles and asked in confusion: "What exactly is the World Tree?"
"have no idea."
Li Liang shook his head.
In the spirit's vision, Nordrassil exudes dazzling brilliance and is completely composed of extremely dense spirits. Only a small part is visible to the naked eye. In fact, its root system spreads in all directions, and those spirits that gradually become slender have already spread throughout the space.
In addition, he knew that this tree could actually be "controlled" and that it was powerful enough to block the edge of the Dao sword. Moreover, Bond mentioned that the World Tree could also improve the resonance between the magician and Ahiya. However, at this moment, he was completely No idea.
It was pure wishful thinking to get the control method from the goblin's mouth. He could only find a way on his own. When he came back to his senses, he looked around and saw that their group of tiny creatures were still more than ten kilometers away from the tree trunk. The thick and winding roots nearby The vines can only be regarded as the outermost "fibrous roots", and the real pillar root system at the base is like the back of a giant dragon or the gathering of mountains.
Viewed from this angle, the tree trunks in the distance are like a huge wall, standing tall against the sky and the earth, reaching to a distant height, spreading out like a canopy, over the head, forming a light blue dome.
Since seeing the spiritual world, Li Liang found that his "phobia of giant objects" had been cured unknowingly.
There were so many miraculous giants that he became numb.
After all, the human body is still too "pocket-sized". Common things in life can be measured in "meters". Large man-made objects such as Shangcheng District and Galaxy are also assembled from parts. It is difficult for humans to Just imagine how big a huge single object can be, and in the spiritual world, there are giant objects everywhere.
It is beneficial to see more of the world. Only by seeing the World Tree and the Teleportation Gate with one's own eyes, and going to giant cities like Makosik and Du Yujing, can humans eliminate their inferiority complex in the face of "huge and majestic things" , dispel the feeling of sublimity rising in the heart, and truly face the spiritual world with a normal mind.
"Huge" is actually the most insignificant attribute among the countless wonders of the spiritual world.
For the next week, Li Liang was in meetings.
Large and small meetings, with waves of participants, focused on the construction of the New Spiritual Gate, from the overall planning to the details, one plan after another was submitted, discussed, modified, or overturned and started over.
Since humans have not yet joined any organization, many cases and data were provided by the Tifami people. Bond was in a good mood, because humans finally paid for 13,000 spiritual cores and bought the "topological space improvement technology."
For this reason, Li Liang was furious. Li Shuang had indeed established a correct standard model, but it would still take some time before it could be applied. The "topological space improvement technology" was closely related to the anchor point control system of the Tifami people. For the sake of Yggdrasil's Stable, all I can do now is "money".
Thirteen satellite cities have not even seen a single brick. Counting the purchase of battleships, nearly 50,000 spiritual cores have been spent.
There is nothing we can do about this. The "Marcosik-style" break point guidance is not completely fixed like the "Avalon-style". When a war breaks out, it can be temporarily lifted to form a defensive depth. Therefore, the "Marcosik Convention" 》stipulates that another satellite city must be built at each turning point to completely occupy this infinite space.
Li Liang specially organized a group of people to study the "Makosik Convention", plus the information provided by the Tifami people, and still found no obvious loopholes. The terms are logically rigorous and accurately express the meaning of "paupers go away and cool off".
However, these spiritual cores are still worth the price of admission.
In general, the "Makosik-style" plan takes into account the advantages of both the Tokyo-style and the Avalon-style. In the future, visiting passengers will be guided to the entry plain and undergo unified entry inspection, all the way to exit. They are all under human surveillance. Like Bond said, the only disadvantage is that they are expensive.
There was nothing to say about the aircraft technology of the Tifami people. He made a special trip to the vicinity of the jump point. Fifty brand-new, unpainted "Shifting Star" battleships formed a daunting and huge fleet. Each one Each giant ship is close to the size of the Lanikea, and its appearance is like a battle axe. The bow is vertical like an ax blade, and the width of the hull gradually becomes thicker, converging at the tail, until it is as sharp as a chisel.
It is integrated in the cruising state. Once it enters the combat state, two main guns are launched on both sides of the ship, which is said to support the launch of "tunnel weapons". In addition to the two main cannons, there are triple-mounted naval guns all over the ship's body, and the bases rotate freely. , supports a variety of firepower launches, including "degenerate matter" weapons.
Of course, what "supported" means is that the hardware meets the requirements, but is not actually configured.
The items currently "gifted" to the ship are that the two main guns fire curvature bubble wave bullets by default, and the triple gun on the ship fires high-energy gamma rays by default.
Even so, with only its powerful deflector shield, this new fleet opened fire with all its strength, which was enough to compete with the human defense fleet stationed outside the Gate of Spiritual Reason. Moreover, after asking Bond and Allen, Li Liang knew no one The psionic technology sect's civilization does not sell weapons involving psionic energy to the outside world, such as the famous "tunnel weapon". It was this powerful weapon that the Terenza Alliance used to forcefully break through the spiritual door of the fairies.
For a weak civilization, spiritual cores are hard to come by. What is even more uncomfortable is that even if they save spiritual cores, they cannot buy the technologies that can truly protect themselves.
"Rome was not built in a day", the meeting seemed to have no end.
Soon, Li Liang found the feeling of going to work.
It turns out that the final destination of the heroes who grew up to be leaders in the story is to go to work, and all the "far-sighted" decisions fell to the ground as trivial and chaotic things.
Fortunately, Li Ru has not been "chaotic". After all, the layout of Xiacheng District takes more time to complete and cannot be completed overnight.
During this period, Teemo came once and found him in a corner of the busy "construction site". We chatted for a few words in a hurry. He didn't mention the matter of Shawu Realm. He probably felt that he didn't have time to mention it. Instead, he asked about the opening of the Spiritual Gate. date, because General Bobby, who controls half of the military power of the Yodel Federation, is prepared to attend the opening in person.
This is good news for mankind. Li Liang took out a fresh invitation letter. The tentative opening time was January 26, 3028, the night of the Lunar New Year. Before parting, he asked Timo to stop by. A trip to Capital City, to greet and invite Mr. Dododisar to visit Earth.
More than a week later, on December 1, 3027, the fleet of the River Toad royal family passed the turning point.
Li Liang cleared a space in the anchor space and greeted it alone.
When the small magic spacecraft that looked like a canoe landed in the anchor space, and a group of river toad people wearing plain white robes slowly walked down, he felt an extremely cordial feeling in his heart.
Each of them looks similar to Tam, the only difference is that some have more wrinkles on their faces and some have longer whiskers.
The leader of the river toad calls himself Domu Mu, a powerful magician who also believes in Naaru, and comes on behalf of the King of Dark Spirits.
"Human demigod, I can feel your trust and love for the river frog people. Perhaps it is out of this friendship that Prince Tam is willing to use up his seeds," Domumu staggered closer and patted Li Liang's knees said in the slow and low language of the river toad, "The great king of dark spirits ordered me to tell you, there is no need to be sad. The whirling tree is the beacon placed by Naru on the Aqi Road, and it will always illuminate his children. On the way home, there is a proverb on the shore of the eternal tide, 'When you hear the croaking, your companions who have traveled far will return'."
Li Liang remembered that Tam also said a proverb, "The truth is hidden in the croaking." Because the river frog man's clock can croak, he half-crouched and asked in a low voice: "This proverb was also said by the King of Dark Spirits. ?”
"Oh, no, no, that's what I said," Dommu gently hugged Li Liang's head, then moved to the Yalingjin sleeping cabin aside, stepped on his feet and looked inside, "I Come and take you home, Your Highness.”
"Mr. Dodom, there is one more thing..." Li Liang walked to the Yalingjin sleeping cabin and helped up Seolis, who was still unconscious. "Can the whirling tree treat her?"
The witch who took him out of the small island in the Chamom Realm was the first believer he recruited as the Holy Prophet. She was tortured by the necromancy magic of the dominator and fell into a coma. However, even at this moment, the necromancy power in her body had long been eliminated. , but still didn't wake up. Allen and Deep Blue had seen it, and even the monkey was caught and messed with, but there was no improvement.
"Oh, a San Diego witch," Dodom stroked Seolisi's forehead, "strangely sleeping. I feel the serious conflict between the two beliefs in her body."
"Two faiths?"
"Yes, I feel the power of the God of Chaos and the God of Cunning at the same time," Domumu said solemnly, "I can take her to the shore of the eternal tide and ask the Whirling Holy Priest for help."
"Thank you, thank you."
"Oh, your willingness to use Yaling Gold to preserve Prince Tam's body is enough to prove your trust in the river toad people," Dodom spread his hands, "We will send another ship to return this expensive item."
"Tam is my teacher," Li Liang said sincerely. "This Yalingjin dormant cabin is just a meeting gift. There is no need to send it back." He took out an invitation letter. "When our spiritual door opens, I hope that The envoys from the River Toad royal family can come as guests."
"Oh, I will convey your invitation," Dodom put away the invitation, "Then, goodbye, human demigod."
"goodbye."
Li Liang took one last look at Tam, who seemed to be sleeping, and pursed his lips.
"He'll be back, kid."
Dodom waved his wand, and the dormant capsule and Seolis floated up to the spaceship.
When the Toadman's spaceship rocked into the sky, Li Liang vaguely heard Dodom's singing:
"Eoh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ~
Tamu of the Dark Spirit Sea~
Eoh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Tamu of the Dark Spirit Sea~
The King of Adventure, the Lord of Mysteries~
Ee-lu-lu-lu-lu~Ee-lu-lu-lu-lu..."
He watched the spaceship go away. For some reason, even though Dodom was far more powerful than Tam, and the whirling tree seed hidden in his chest was as bright as a star, he always felt that this song only had that meaning when Tam sang it. A healing power.
After standing still for a long time, Robben and the group arrived together. He suddenly felt tired and said slowly: "I'm going back to Earth. You and Li Shuang can decide what's going on here."
Robben nodded: "Okay."
"I'll go back with you," the group seemed to have noticed something.
"No need," Li Liang smiled.
The group didn't speak any more, and stretched out their hands to squeeze his shoulders.
More than ten minutes later, he boarded a special service ship, passed through the shining door above the anchor point, and returned to Zhenjie Fort.
The communication bracelet was connected to the Activision network, and he made a language call.
"Cain, where are you?"
"Zhongjing, what are you doing?"
"I will look for you."
"No time."
A faint scream came from the earphones.
"Zhou Xiaomian..."
"OK, you win, I'll wait for you."
