The crisis was finally resolved, and the Osiris followed the transport ship sent by the Moore Chamber of Commerce and headed in the direction of the "New Earth".
Standing in front of the projection window, Lin Ao couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene of the earth captured by the camera. The earth is so beautiful.
Looking down at the earth from the universe and looking down at the universe from the earth are completely different feelings. Due to environmental pollution on Earth, stars in the night sky are rare, but when viewed from the universe, this blue planet is still so charming.
Lin Ao stood in a daze until an old-era space exploration machine floated past his eyes. The scene that followed was a huge gray hemisphere surrounded by several colonial satellite groups. This was the unfinished project. "New Earth", the Moore Chamber of Commerce claims that it will be mankind's "Noah's Ark" when the earth is no longer suitable for human habitation in the future.
"It's spectacular! This is a spectacle that humans will never be able to reproduce so far, even in the next hundred years!"
At some point, Baron Humphrey appeared behind Lin Ao, and Lin Ao greeted: "Hello, Baron! Thank you for helping Natasha just now."
The Baron smiled and said: "I just want to complete my task perfectly."
"Natasha knew that her sister gave up on her for a few resources, but I think she would be sad!" Edward also floated over from nearby, holding Lin Ao's shoulders and trying to find balance, but Lin Ao didn't feel comfortable either. In a gravity-free environment, the two of them lost their balance and spun around.
"That's not a small amount of resources, it's enough resources to convince Queen Anna." Baron Humphrey said.
"I don't believe that you are willing to give Natasha so many things just to help Natasha hide from her sister for a while?" Edward questioned.
"Summer insects cannot speak of ice, what do you know?"
Edward stuck out his tongue, and Lin Ao put one hand on the wall to control his body. He said a little disappointedly: "Unfortunately, looking at the current completion progress of 'New Earth', I will never see the day when it is completed even if I live to old age." ”
Humphrey said mysteriously: "Don't worry, maybe I can see it completed while I'm still alive."
Edward asked: "Where do you get your confidence?" But Humphrey did not answer. He pointed to a golden colonial satellite surrounding the "New Earth" and said: "That is our target, the Moore Chamber of Commerce." Headquarters 'Business'. President Thomas is going to meet you personally and hopes that you will quickly adapt to the environment of the universe and not make any embarrassing moves." After that, he left.
"Hey, Lin, do you believe what he said? This old man is the same age as Captain Shepard after all. How many years can he live? It took 200 years to build the 'New Earth' to what it is now. How long does it take to live according to his wishes? How many years did it take to be completed? Are you lying?"
"I don't know...but it doesn't look like he is talking big words. Maybe he has some means."
"Hey, Sergeant Anton asked you to gather at the hangar. We will dock at 'Shang' in a while."
Seeing Natasha coming, Edward asked: "Hey, Natasha, if your sister comes to ask for someone again next time, what will you do then?"
"Who are you asking me?! Stop talking nonsense and go to the hangar! Remember to change your pilot uniforms, they all stink of sweat!"
"Hey! Smelly bitch, who are you calling stinky?"
Edward wanted to grab Natasha and put his foot on the wall to try to use the force to fly over, but was pushed lightly by Natasha and floated away elsewhere.
"Lin! Save me!"
…
The Osiris docked at a shipyard in Shang. Lin Ao and others changed their clothes and gathered in the hangar. Sergeant Anton came over to check their appearance one by one and warned: "Thomas More will be here later." When I meet you, I will probably ask you some questions about the Ten Swords Machine. We are under the care of the Moore Chamber of Commerce, so you must not do anything rude."
"OK, OK. Is there a place to play in this colonial satellite? Can we go play after seeing Thomas More?" Edward asked.
"What are you thinking! After the meeting, I will come back to help Lao Ah and the others repair the ship. Besides, except for Natasha, you are all coming to the universe for the first time. I will seize the time to train you before setting off next time! If you want to go to the colonial satellite, , just complete the training for me in advance."
"why is it like this!!"
Natasha asked, "Sergeant, can I go play?"
"Huh? You...you have a special status. If you want to go out and let Bart and the others follow you, you should bring a few bodyguards." Natasha has been shutting herself in the room since boarding the ship, and now she offers to get some air. , Sergeant Anton felt a little relieved.
"Mr. Anton Gagarin, is he ready?"
A blond beauty in black business attire floated over, and Edward was almost "attracted" to her. Anton held his shoulders and said, "No problem, they are all ready."
The blond secretary was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I'm sorry, President Thomas will not meet with Princess Natasha and Mr. Edward Terras today. Please come with me, Mr. Lin Ao."
The four of them were very surprised. Why did they only see Lin Ao? Lin Ao stood up to leave, but Sergeant Anton stopped him and said, "I'm sorry, Lin Ao is coming to the universe for the first time, and he doesn't understand many rules. Can you ask me to follow him?"
The blond secretary seemed to reply on the private terminal, then nodded and said: "Okay, but President Thomas only sees Mr. Lin Ao, so please wait outside the door."
"No problem, Natasha. Before I come back, you can help Edward do some acclimatization training to the gravity-free environment."
Natasha sighed and said, "Copy that."
…
As soon as Lin Ao and Anton came out of the hangar, they were picked up in a luxurious black car. When the car drove into the colonial satellite, Lin Ao exclaimed: "The sky! There is another city in the sky!"
What appeared in front of Lin Ao was a completely different space from the earth. People seemed to live inside a huge can. There was almost no concept of sky here. When people raised their heads, they saw the other side of the inside of the "can". One side is either a street, a simulated "sky", or even a lake. This is such a strange scenery. If you hadn’t lived here since childhood, you would definitely be worried about things falling from your head.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? It's not much worse than the earth, right?" Sergeant Anton said.
Lin Ao looked forward and saw the straight street slowly "rising" in front, extending to the "ceiling" on the other side of the colonial satellite.
"This road goes around the colonial satellite?"
The blond secretary nodded: "This is the main road of 'Shang', Yinxu Road, and the main roads of colonial satellites are like this."
"It's so strange... Am I on the ground or in the sky? Will I drift to the other side of the satellite if I leave this car?"
"Don't worry, colonial satellites gain gravity through rotation. Wherever you stand, there is gravity under your feet and it won't fly up."
Sergeant Anton added: "However, if the colonial satellite is attacked and a hole appears on one side, everything near the hole will be sucked into the universe, just like a black hole..."
"So...what if the hole is so big that it sucks away something on the other side?"
"If there is such a big hole, the colonial satellite will disintegrate instantly and everyone will die."
Lin Ao said fearfully: "Why do you have to live in a place like this..."
"Isn't the earth also very dangerous? Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, tornadoes, etc. As long as there is no war, the colonial satellites are very safe! By the way, what do you call me, madam?"
The blond secretary pushed up her glasses and said, "You can just call me Helena. I am President Thomas's secretary. Okay, here we are."
The black car stopped, and what appeared in front of Lin Ao was a splendid high-rise building.
"Is this the headquarters of the Mohr Chamber of Commerce?" I have to say that although the building in front of me is grand, Lin Ao originally thought that the headquarters of the Mohr Chamber of Commerce, with its amazing financial resources, would be even bigger.
Helena smiled and shook her head: "No, this is just President Thomas's office, equivalent to his office. The headquarters of the Moore Chamber of Commerce is the entire colonial satellite, and the residents are either employees or their family members."
"So rich?! What kind of person will President Thomas be?"
Lin Ao couldn't help but become nervous.
