Chapter 403 Landing on Mars, the reason why dreams come true
Wei Xiao Yi Ai is still committed to "saving" the Martians. She has done everything she can. Now she is also in contact with the Martians, but she also knows——
"Well, the success rate is very low. It feels pointless to reassure you, so forget it."
Although corresponding settings have been made on the Mars probe, even Academy City Technology's probe has not been able to successfully return to Earth.
Why it can’t be done, anyone who knows the business will understand.
Doing that kind of thing involves so many aspects, you can basically win a bunch of Nobel Prizes.
"Well, I can't deny the possibility that it's all a scam." She couldn't help but laugh at herself.
【?】
"These days, private companies can develop small satellites, and Academy City is even assembling a seven-millimetre experimental satellite. Isn't it easy to fake radio waves emitted from Mars? Just like UFO fake photos, even if there is
I wouldn’t be surprised if good people invest huge sums of money into this pastime.”
[About this, you can...understand it right away. As long as...you come here...you will understand it right away.]
After hearing this, she simply relaxed her body and leaned on the back of the chair, turned her vision around, and murmured softly: "Mars, it's really far away."
"Please check for Christmas gifts."
A new message came in on the phone. Micro Oto saw a "hole" with a dark background appearing in the corner of the room, and the iconic large sleeves of the hakama-style school uniform, like a kimono and yukata, poked out from it. In this era of Academy City, already
No school would adopt such a classic uniform outside of special festivals or activities, except for the "first man-made person with abilities who traveled through time" who had been frozen for decades.
The hands in the sleeves were facing her, palms up.
This scene, which is no different from a haunted house in common sense, may scare many people, but not in Academy City, where special phenomena caused by superpowers and next-generation products frequently occur.
It seems that the phenomenon is caused by those who borrow space system abilities, but what is on the other side cannot be determined here.
"It's Christmas Eve anyway, so there's no need to think more about it. If I had no survival value, I wouldn't be so gentle."
She picked up a telescope the size of a bazooka and held the hand.
After a pull that was like inhalation, she saw herself arriving in a desert under a dark night sky. There was no one around, and Chizuru was still pulling her.
"The stars in the sky are like gems all over the sky. In this era, can you still see such a beautiful starry sky with the naked eye? How far away from the city is this in the wilderness?"
She immediately set up the tripod and set up the "cannon barrel". She recognized all the stars and constellations, but they seemed to be slightly different. Could this be a change caused by the displacement of the earth? It was really amazing.
"Could it be that you used your power to change the refractive index of the entire atmosphere? It seems that the value of g has also changed? It is true that your super power can do such exaggerated things."
Chiheko shook her head and pointed in one direction.
She turned the field of view of the telescope.
There is a blue planet, and its accompanying satellite is surprisingly large compared to other planetary objects that can be observed.
It is absolutely impossible to observe such a celestial body on the earth. If you look closely, it seems that there are light spots in the part facing away from the sun?
"Are you looking at - the Earth?! Are you kidding? Is this some special projection technology?! Where is the projector?! Where is the camera that shot the prank video?"
Chizuruko shook her head, sweeping up the Martian dust that was not in compliance with the Earth's gravity with her floor-length hair, and stretched out her hand to point in one direction.
Although it is a bit far away, it is a Mars probe that is in landing status but has been scrapped...
Not far away from them, in a place that is shrouded in illusion and cannot be seen by ordinary humans, Crounpis, Sunflower, Lily, and Anchia, who bid farewell to the forbidden earth, are observing in secret.
"Sure enough, Chizuru's ability can transform the environment to allow humans to travel among the stars. Why would Academy City give up on this person so easily?" Cronpis asked.
Sunflower, who was busy taking notes, analyzed and answered: "According to the records about the 'beginning child' from its development to the present, Aleister did not put his main focus here at the beginning, and his goal was not here.
The initial birth of superpowers was mostly treated as a rumor without any in-depth exploration of it. The forces that later tried to get involved were consumed by Aleister as part of the 'plan' or used as materials for Kamijou Touma's cultivation and trials.
Lost it. But the most important thing is——
"The ability of the 'beginning child' is to change the surrounding environment into an optimal environment based on the characteristics of the nearby selected organisms. However, it does not seem to include intestinal bacteria or other viruses that are added to the body's circulation, but it does
It can include other foreign microorganisms and even mosquitoes, plants, etc., so it is difficult to set it freely. There is no need to restrain the spirit in other ways. There are only a handful of people who can control her mental ability. After the ability is developed, it can be released at will.
There were big explosions that kept switching the environment, and walking natural disasters, until she fainted from hunger because she couldn't eat anything. If we hadn't used spiritual magic to modulate the amplitude of her emotions, and also implanted an implant that could transform into various creatures.
She can't even live a normal life because of the microbial mimicry demon that manifests its characteristics."
"That means you can still do it as long as you use your skills, right?" Cronpis said.
"Yes, but there are more than just those seven people with Level 5 qualifications in Academy City. Many qualified people don't get opportunities. All kinds of research have priorities. Well, hey, well, otherwise I
There aren’t so many loopholes to exploit.”
Himawari stopped tapping for a moment, paused, glanced at Crounpis and asked: "Piss, can you ask a question that is boring to Kihara?"
"...It's redundant to emphasize Kihara. Where did your original naive personality go?"
"Deleted it because it felt neither necessary nor substitutable for romance."
Crownpis paused for a moment, because although the words came out of Sunflower's mouth, although the tone was the same as before, it was still very inconsistent. She scratched her hair and said: "...Well, there are still some shadows of the past. You don't think so."
It’s okay if it’s in the way. What’s the problem?”
Sunflower pointed at Micro-Ai: "Does that girl need to be treated like this? She has no other use except providing the cultivation technology and data of the microbial thinking unit and some old magic information, right?"
Crownpis: "But without her, it's natural that I wouldn't be able to easily defeat Orelus and compete with Othinus in Bagage City. And Himawari, you also want to go through the plucking process and finally do the experiment."
