Eleven days later, the mysteriously missing planet finally appeared again as scheduled.

The difference from the last time is that this time robot engineer Isaac actually scanned the total number of human life detections on the surface of the planet, the size and density of buildings and even cities, etc., which were huge compared to the last time.

increases and changes?

At the same time, some of the results of tests and scans seem completely different from what they were last seen?

Therefore, in order to find out the truth, although the female commander of the Planetary Alliance Command has made it clear that they will not allow the Orville to land on the planet in any way and contact those alien 'primitives', Captain Ed

After much thought, he followed Isaac's suggestion and modified an unmanned stealth near-Earth exploration vehicle and used a shuttle to launch it into the planet.

In his opinion, using optically invisible detectors for close observation and scanning cannot be regarded as 'contact'. Although it also means exploiting legal loopholes, as long as they are not discovered, they will definitely not be attracted.

Covenant Command's harsh reprimands or punishments.

that's all!

Half an hour later, the miniature flying probe that turned on the stealth mode arrived directly above the predetermined target coordinate point.

"No way?"

"Gordon!"

"Are you sure that this place is the village you entered with Annie before?"

As the robot Isaac remotely controlled the invisible aircraft and slowly approached, after seeing clearly the size of the city, its approximate population, and the approximate chronological background represented by the building style, Captain Ed looked at it with a look as if he had seen a ghost.

The helmsman Gordon, who was also as if he had seen a ghost, asked:

"This is clearly a medieval city!"

“Where does it look like the Bronze Age?”

"Did you remember the place correctly?"

Ed said that no matter how poorly he studied history when he was in school, he still knew that those 'primitive people' could build such large stone buildings, and that the soldiers also wore steel armor and sharp weapons, plus there were

Based on the analysis of many four-wheeled vehicles and the 'advanced' farmland irrigation facilities outside the city, it can be basically determined that the other party is in the medieval feudal period, which is at least hundreds or thousands of years away from the Bronze Age.

"I, I don't know..."

"Judging from the coordinates and some reference objects, there is no problem. It is indeed the village that Anne and I visited."

"but!"

"I remember, it was just a small village with more than a hundred people..."

To be honest, Gordon himself was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the aerial views and pictures sent back by the detection aircraft.

Because judging from the high mountain where they crashed, the surrounding rivers and the coordinates, all the data are fine. But what is outrageous is that in just eleven days, the landforms and vegetation have changed to a certain extent?

Then, a small village with more than a hundred people and thirty or forty buildings at most turned into a medieval city in an instant. With that level of change, even if it were handed over to the Planetary Alliance's engineering team, it would be exactly the same.

I'm afraid that the construction period is also a bit tight, let alone a backward and wild planet in this era.

"captain!"

"I'm also pretty sure that that place is the village where Annie and Lieutenant Gordon stayed for a few hours. It can't be wrong."

At this time, the second officer who was at his post on the bridge spoke firmly after reviewing and checking various data.

"But this is impossible!"

"How did they build a city in just eleven days?"

"Even if our Star Alliance mobilizes supplies and spaceships, and then transports the engineering team and supplies here, it will probably take more than eleven days, right?"

"Why do I always feel a little weird?"

"That looks like..."

"It's like the 'magic' that Anne often talks about, which is a bit unbelievable!"

At this time, Alora also echoed, expressing that she agreed with Captain Ed's point of view.

On that day, Safety Officer Arora was also on the bridge paying attention to the development of the situation, so she was also very sure that the location locked by the stealth aircraft was definitely correct. But why did a village turn into a city? That's really

It was beyond the scope of her imagination.

"wrong!"

|??ω?`)

"It's not magic!"

?(￣??)???

At this time, Annie suddenly appeared and corrected her before trotting and sneaking into the bridge. She lay down on the back of the robot Isaac's chair and began to stare at the robot Isaac's operation with great interest.

That stealth detection aircraft.

After watching for a while, she continued to add:

"Actually, it's because..."

(??ω??)

"This planet, its time has passed for hundreds of years!"

(?￣?￣?) Hehe!

Anne didn't hold anything in mind, she just told what she knew so openly.

And that was the real reason why she came to the bridge on this morning eleven days later to join in the fun. Otherwise, in the past, she would have been sleeping in and wouldn't go out until midnight.

"??"

"How many hundreds of years have passed?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Speak clearly now!"

Ed was stunned at first, and then he seemed to have grasped a certain key point and hurriedly asked without thinking.

"captain!"

"I seem to understand."

Fortunately, before Annie could answer, the robot Isaac got a big inspiration first. After quickly operating on its operating table, it reported in a slightly excited tone:

"After comparing photos of the terrain and rivers, especially those perennial plants, I made a major discovery!"

"The situation is basically consistent with what Anne just said."

"I discovered that when this planet moved out of our universe and entered another universe, its time showed signs of being accelerated."

"In other words, although it has only been eleven days here, it has been at least seven hundred years on that planet."

"Of course, plant and rock specimens need to be collected in a specific year to get an accurate value."

Ignoring Captain Ed and the stunned and disbelieving faces looking over at him from the bridge, the robot Isaac directly revealed the incredible result obtained after scanning and comparing it.

"Time speeds up?"

"How is that possible?"

"Who has the ability to accelerate the time of an entire planet?"

"Even our Star Alliance can't do it?!"

"Definitely not!"

"But the facts are before us. Look, let alone the terrain, the similarity is as high as 99%, and the trees in the picture should be the same kind, right?"

"At that time, they were only over two meters high, but now, look, they are at least fifteen or six meters tall. It would be better if we could cut open its trunk to see the growth rings."

"But!"

"Last time, Dr. Arnoff's time device consumed a lot of energy just to accelerate the time of a banana. Now to accelerate a planet, at least the energy of an entire star must be used."

?”

"Who can do that?"

"That makes sense."

"It's really unlikely..."

"But this is the fact, we have all seen it!"

"What I don't understand is that our Star Alliance has just begun to study the time device. It is said that the effort and reward are not proportional at all. Who is crazy enough to use it on an entire planet?"

"have no idea……"

"Anyway, it's definitely not our Star Alliance or anyone else. Maybe, it's someone from another universe?"

"ah!"

"That's right!"

"It only existed on our side for more than a day, but it existed on the other side for a full eleven days. There is indeed a problem on the other side!"

"But!"
