Caribbean World, Florida.
The clear blue sky contrasts with the transparent ocean, and the Caribbean scenery seems to have remained unchanged forever. The previous emperor of the New Han Empire, Emperor Lin Nanxuan, who was supposed to be lying in the mausoleum enjoying sacrifices, was now wearing a Hawaiian-style big shirt and fat shorts, lying leisurely on the deck of a three-masted sailboat.
Lin Nanxuan's seven or eight crew members seemed to be similar to him. They were scattered lazily at the bow and stern of the boat, fishing and drinking.
At this time, four young, beautiful and sexy beauties were walking along the beach towards the pier. They were walking on the beach with bare feet and shoes. They kept joking and laughing with each other along the way, and the sounds like silver bells made all the men on the boat feel a little distracted.
"!" Emperor Lin waved his straw hat and greeted happily. "Beauties, do you want to board my yacht? The latest three-mast Skuna schooner, with a crazy speed of 25 knots! I will take you on a cruise in the Caribbean!"
The beauties were first stunned by his shout, and then looked at each other and laughed. They didn't pay attention to Lin Nanxuan at all, they just ran away chasing each other with their shoes.
After failing to catch the girl, Lin Nanxuan sighed as lonely as snow and lay back on the deck.
The pleasant chatter of girls could be heard in the wind, "That old fisherman is so interesting!" Emperor Lin of the New Han Dynasty burst into tears...
After a while, a yacht over fifty feet long drove out from the other side of the pier. This is a civilian-grade yacht from the Imperial Shipyard. It has nuclear power batteries and satellite communications. It has a speed of 35 knots and can continuously sail around the earth... Those young and beautiful girls just happened to be standing on this side of the ship, and the sea breeze tightened around their waists. clothing. Make the body more convex and concave.
"Hahaha~ Look, it's that lewd old fisherman..." When the modern yacht sailed past the wooden sailboat, the girls saw Lin Nanxuan lying there. But this time. The girls are no longer afraid of this weird old man. Not only that, they can also tease them in turn. Several girls discussed loudly. Then he waved his arms and shouted, "Hey! Uncle, let's get on your boat and go for a ride together~"
Lin Nanxuan simply put the whole hat on his face this time and pretended not to hear! I hate iron-hulled ships! I hate nuclear power! What about the sailing battleships and the Age of Discovery? ! It went by too fast!
Old Lin counted on his fingers and it seemed that... almost one hundred and twenty years had passed, right? ! Now the grandson's nephew's brother-in-law is in power - yes, the inheritance rights behind the New Han Empire are in a mess, but no one dares to touch Lin Nanxuan, the "great ancestor" who faked his death and was really free.
Time flies so fast! What I should really hate. It seems to be the straight black girl who tricked me into taking medicine, right? ! what do you say that is? Penglai Shanhui and so on... I heard it was a Japanese pirate! tmd! Sure enough, the Japanese country should have been destroyed first!
Hearing his complaints, several old guys laughed and made fun of him.
Lao Lin was deceived by Kaguya who was wandering around, and drank the medicine of Horai, becoming immortal. The most loyal old friends at the time couldn't bear to leave him alone in the world. Together they decided to find an ancient Indian wizard to curse themselves! Although the side effects are not small, the old guys are not willing to hang out with Emperor Lin, even if they are the living dead.
It's just that these former heroes occasionally talked about their ambitions back then. It's always a bit sad - Lin Nanxuan was so high-spirited that he led the Ming Navy all the way to the Caribbean and conquered a huge empire - looking back now. It’s just like nonsense!
No matter how big the country is, it can't even live a comfortable life! I have been looking at stone statues of myself everywhere all day long, and I want to go up and kick them over! But what makes Lao Lin depressed is that it is impossible for him to do this, even if the stone statue is himself. Hundreds of years have passed, and stories have turned into legends, and legends have turned into myths. Lin Nanxuan back then had become a kind of belief and a totem in the New Han Empire. It has nothing to do with him anymore...
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success or failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there. Several sunsets are red." With a straw hat covering his face, the former Emperor Lin whispered these lines softly. I can't help but feel a bit sad... I think back to the time when the battleships were like clouds and the beauties were like jade... they are all gone! If I had known that this would be the case now, I would have bothered with it back then!

"Anti-discrimination! Anti-hegemony!"
"Aliens get out of Earth's orbit!"
"Wake up! My fellow sufferers! It's time to take up arms and target the aliens!"
…
"fxck!" Emperor Lin, who was saddened by the interruption, angrily pulled off the straw hat on his face and looked at the group of demonstrators passing through the port. In his opinion, those people are just a bunch of clowns! Don't study, don't work, just talk about state affairs! ——Are aliens oppressing you? ! Or are aliens messing with your sister? ! You haven't even touched an alien's fur!
All I know is forcing the country to fall out with the aliens, but fall out with your sister! Does the New Han Empire have the right to fall out with others? ! Although Lao Lin has not been in charge of state affairs for many years, he has his own channels and still knows the country's basic data. Nowadays, at least 4% of the base Pili, which is growing at 10% every year, is provided by orders from aliens! What a huge amount! He knew that whether it was the Xinming Empire or the European continent, the amount of alien orders received by everyone was similar. It can be said that half of today's global prosperity rests on the "big pot" above our heads.
Who can make up his mind to fight? !
Besides, even if you want to fight, you have to be able to fight first, right? ! Our F-14 can't fly into geosynchronous orbit yet... hit it, hit it like a big watermelon!
"Alas~" When the demonstrators who were willing to commit suicide were past, Lao Lin lay down again. He suddenly lifted his straw hat and looked in the direction above his head.
Both the "Dawn" spacecraft and the later "Lance" mass effect repeater were extremely large in size. In particular, these two huge artificial celestial bodies happen to be suspended over the Caribbean Sea, rotating synchronously with the earth. So when the weather is nice. In the Caribbean, it can be seen even with the naked eye.
Lao Lin quietly looked at the sky above his head.
The two huge celestial bodies are connected together, and it seems that a huge project is being carried out - it can be inferred from what can be observed with the naked eye. That would be a huge project that would cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of manpower! There are few countries on earth that dare to say they can do it.
Now the lower half of Dawn is completely opened. Revealing the intricate interior. As for the pin-like mass effect repeater, it had been dismantled and "skinny", leaving only the huge metal bracket and the huge "core" that glowed with blue light.
Emperor Lin finally knew why those people were making trouble again. Because he saw that the blue-glowing core was being disassembled from the skeleton, and then slowly moving towards the huge spaceship, as if it was going to be put into the lower part of the open basin...
Lao Lin pinched the bridge of his nose. stood up. "Let's go back to New Hangzhou and have a look, and let the juniors be more honest! They all need to be dealt with!" He looked at the big project that was going on in the sky - it had actually been going on for ten years! "I always feel that something will happen when that blue walnut is put in..."
These days, not only him, but thousands of people around the world feel that something big is going to happen! There is always a feeling of a sharp sword hanging over your head!
****
At this moment, all four million human dormant cabins on the Dawn have been temporarily transferred to Alona's Kingdom of God for storage. This is of course not a long-term solution, due to the negation of world rules. Storage for too long can cause various unpredictable problems.
But when Dawn is about to carry out the most important project, the core migration of Mass Effect. For safety reasons, it would be better to throw these dormant capsules into the orbit of wandering stars. It is safer than staying on Dawn... Once the unstable mass effect core explodes during the migration process, it will not only destroy Dawn, but even the entire earth! By then, the world of the Caribbean, although it still existed, was in ruins.
"All departments are in place! Cheer up, everyone! Hold on!" Purple Yakumo, who was wearing work armor, shouted loudly into the intercom. When she checked again and again, she confirmed that everyone was at their posts. After going to the hospital and locking up all the naughty children, she solemnly ordered, "The Mass Effect core migration project. Issue 48 has officially begun!"
As the magnetic field lines pull, the blue-light core stops between the two huge celestial bodies. Start moving forward slowly again...
Each phase of the project is a huge project that lasts for 72 hours, involving a total of 7,000 people and 140,000 construction machinery! Each phase can move the blue core with a diameter of 9.71 kilometers (closed state) by 11.43 kilometers in parallel. Yakumo Purple is the commander-in-chief of this migration project-if there is an emergency, she is the only one who can move it 11.43 kilometers in parallel. Within a fraction of a second, throw out the mass effect core that is about to explode!
Yakumo Murasaki has been working diligently for this project for ten years! In ten years, she has transformed from a charming, charming and cold monster to a smart and capable woman with unlimited demands for details! Don't look at her blond hair, which is just messy and tied up casually. She seems to have forgotten to pull up the collar, which is always a big deal, and the whole person seems to be unkempt.
But most of the engineering staff who worked for her first respected her like a god and did not dare to have the slightest thought! Just the thought of doing something wrong and being thrown into that "little dark room" filled with eyes can make many people pee their pants on the spot!
If we say that the monsters in Gensokyo are regarded as "the same kind" by Yakumo Murasaki. So now, the seven thousand people working under Yakumo Murasaki have also gained the same status in her eyes. Because even though these people are used like dogs, the life and death of seven thousand people and the survival of a mothership are carried on their shoulders. The pressure on Yakumo Purple's shoulders is not small!
So whenever she couldn't bear it anymore, she would go to Lu Yuan to "vent" during the break between projects. Because the time on both sides has been adjusted arbitrarily (working hours are lengthened and other times are synchronized), the result is that Lao Lu always feels that spring has arrived recently, and Yakumo Purple comes here every two hours. This demand is a bit too strong. …
As for Yakumo Murasaki, who has been taking care of Yakumo Purple's life and has taken care of the shikigami Yakumo Blue for thousands of years, he can no longer control her - because Yakumo Blue was appointed as the deputy commander-in-chief and secretary of the project, and it is said that he has great work ability , very good at nine-line operation (do you work with the tail?...
The relay transferred from the Spear Galaxy was completely disassembled and disassembled. All that is left of the repeater is a desolate giant paperclip skeleton, part of which was also made into a carrying track. In order to ensure that there are no hidden dangers, all disassembled equipment will not be used directly, but will be broken down into basic metal materials first. The decomposed material of the repeater, which is tens of kilometers long, contains a large amount of rare metals, which greatly supplements Dawn's material library.
The quality core control equipment, which was newly made with nanotechnology, was installed inside the Dawn. After Mu Xing's rearrangement, the waist of "Dawn" has grown a whole circle, and now it really looks like a huge "flying saucer".
Of course, it is not just about copying the technology of the Mass Effect repeater. Dawn tries to adopt a fusion approach - for example, all the power supplies for the Mass Effect core are modified to wireless power supply; for another example, the power supply for the Mass Effect core is restrained. Those three huge metal rings with a diameter of tens of kilometers have now been changed into holographic image sphere restraints - both controllability and safety have been greatly improved.
"Wow~!" A bunch of naughty kids were lying on the glass, exaggerating in admiration. Including Elona, Ryujin, Remi, Fran, Marisa Kirisame, etc., they were all locked up in a transparent house. This house floats alone in the middle of two artificial celestial bodies, completely isolated from the entire project - because these naughty kids are the biggest safety hazard in history!
So they can eat ice cream and various delicious snacks while doing so. You can also drink black tea and then admire the majestic migration project. But absolutely! absolute! Don't leave this room even half a step!
Ms. Dawn has a holographic clone specifically watching over them.
After having a group of "peers", Nana hung out with the naughty kids in Gensokyo every day and was extremely happy. However, since their power engine and destruction expert—Hakurei Reimu—accidentally disappeared, the destructive power of these naughty boys has greatly decreased, and finally reached an acceptable level.
"Oleoleo! It's installed! It's installed!" the naughty children clapped their hands and shouted! With Nana's cheating ability to manipulate time, and in her own world, the various time flow rates are very unbalanced. Yakumo Murasaki and Yakumo Blue worked painstakingly for seventy-two hours. In the eyes of these naughty kids, the time was about the same as the length of an afternoon tea.
Therefore, before the interest of these children was exhausted, the forty-eighth and final phase of the project had officially come to an end.
At this moment, even Ms. Dawn's clone couldn't help but look out the window - she saw the azure core being dragged out of orbit by magnetic lines, entering the open bottom of Dawn, and then floating in the center.
The lower part of Dawn gradually closed up like a flower, tightly wrapping the core of Mass Effect. The naughty children put down their food one after another, lying on the glass wall one by one, staring nervously at the scene outside. Even they know that this ten-year project has finally reached the critical moment!
From Ms. Dawn's perspective, as the device started to power up, a huge "buzzing" sound of electricity resounded through the core! The re-opened mass core soared to a length of more than ten kilometers. Under the constraints of the holographic image, it jumped restlessly, struggled, and then violently exploded into endless blue light!
This blue light penetrated the holographic sphere, penetrated the hull of the Dawn, and exploded in the sky and on the ground! At that moment, even the sun was stripped of its brilliance, and the sky across the world turned completely blue!
When the blue light gradually dissipated, both the naughty children in the transparent houses and the millions of Caribbean residents all opened their mouths in surprise. Because they saw Dawn, like a dandelion flower in the wind, floating farther into the sky...
