I proposed that I want to see what kind of gods the indigenous people of Blue Star believe in - or even better, visit their church. When I heard the "alien visitor" made this request, a group of experts, scholars, leading cadres and
The reception staff were all very happy - well, basically as expected, since the world still maintains religious supremacism after developing to such a high level of technology, even "scientists" (or should it be called magic here)
(?) all developed spacecrafts under the guidance of gods, so I have reason to believe that these indigenous people will be very happy to introduce their gods to "visitors from outer space".
Would they even consider proselytizing to me and Sandora? I thought of this interesting guess, so I looked at each other and smiled at Sandora. It seemed that Her Majesty the Queen also thought of joining me.
"We are very happy that you are so interested in our gods, and we are also happy to let more races know the greatness of the gods," an old man sitting slightly behind said with excitement, and he couldn't help but say, "When you show up
At that time, we had already held a blessing, but the gods have not responded yet. I think the gods must be very happy to know that their children have taken this crucial step in the journey of civilization evolution... Oh, you would like to see it
Our gods, this is of course possible, but you may need to wait a while. I have notified the temple, but a long-lasting ceremony has not ended yet. I hope the guests can wait."
"This is one of the most respected God of War priests on our planet. Lei," someone immediately introduced the beaming old man over there to Sandora and me, "He is dedicated to promoting God's teachings, and he is also a member of various spaces.
A huge supporter of the detection project..."
"Oh, oh, hello." I nodded to the high priest called "Thunder". After the exchange just now, I already have a little understanding of the social form of this world. As it seems on the surface
.Azure Star is an enlightened civilization that developed based on magic, or mystical technology. The power of magic is used in all aspects. On this planet, magicians and arcane scholars are roughly equivalent to engineers on the earth.
People like scientists, and enjoy high honors. At the same time, there is a unique religion in the whole world. This religion has no name, and people directly call it "the church". The church believes in the god of war. This religion
Gods have supreme prestige. Men, women, and children all over the world firmly believe in the existence of the God of War. They are certain that the God of War protected the entire world and allowed them to live a peaceful life today. What is very surprising is that not only do the religions in this world not
It hinders the development of technology, or even the opposite: on Azure Star, the church is the loyal defender and promoter of various technologies. They declare that the gods have sent down their will, allowing mortals to freely use their creativity, and encourage mortals to pursue worldly achievements.
The truth. Most of the cutting-edge technologies in this world are actually promoted by the church with its people, efforts and money. Even the former somewhat weird romantic alien enthusiast, Mr. Qiao, is also a Level 2
Priest - Well, I really didn't see this last point before.
Azur Star once had its "Era of Ignorance" with constant disputes and raging wars. However, after one of the forces received a revelation from the God of War and spread across the world within a year, the planet is now under the leadership of a unified regime, leading Azur Star.
All mankind is a group called "Parliament". This Parliament is composed of four parts: civilians running for parliament; representatives of science, agriculture, industry and commerce; senior church clergy; and traditional party rotation. The above four parts have completely equal voting rights.
The Supreme Speaker of the Parliament is concurrently held by the highest leader of the church: the Pope Ares. This is a relatively common and relatively stable political structure. Many worlds have similar "theoretical republic" governments. The Supreme Speaker of the Parliament is
The simultaneous appointment of the Pope seems to be the most unfair part of the whole process, but it has won the support of people all over the world: because they firmly believe that the Pope who talks directly to the God of War will never lie or be biased. No matter what the decision is, the Pope will act as Speaker.
When making decisions about identity, we will not deliberately favor church members.
"Yes, the Pope is the only human being who cannot lie or be biased," said the middle-aged man who was responsible for explaining the local customs to us with a look of awe on his face. "He needs to hold the scepter of the God of War when announcing the parliamentary decision.
, if you violate the commandments of the gods, you will be punished by the gods on the spot. And this is precisely the 'last line' to ensure the political stability of Blue Star."
The other party did not mention whether a certain unlucky pope was actually struck by lightning in public, but looking at the determined expressions on everyone's faces at the scene, I am afraid that the so-called divine punishment is real. At this moment, Sandora and I couldn't help but laugh at each other.
They saw the same thing in each other's eyes:
Could it be that the gods that this world believes in... are the true gods of the Star Territory?
"We have been delayed here for a lot of time, now it is time for us to go to your city to have a look?" After establishing initial trust in each other, it seemed that the other party was no longer as intimidated as at the beginning.
, I finally couldn't help but speak. This place is a remote landing site. According to the scan, it is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest city. This arrangement is obviously because the authorities hope to temporarily isolate the "alien" in a relatively safe place.
place, so that we can have buffer time to study whether the extraterrestrial visitors are safe. Sandora and I can understand these actions, but after all, it is a bit boring if the delay is too long - I have begun to consider, if the other party is really too
If there was no delay, he and Sandora would simply run away, change into local clothes and go for a walk...
Anyway, there is nothing to play in the alien landing scene, and there is no slice research in the second half, and there are no agents fighting little green men - and Sandora and I still hope to buy a bunch of gadgets locally.
Let’s share the movie with the little girls at home.
"Um..." A parliamentary representative opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment, and at that moment, two staff members pushed the door open and walked in (they should have been communicating with some higher-level leaders before. Real-time reporting
The on-site progress on our side), the parliamentary representative nodded with confidence after seeing these two people, "Of course, the follow-up reception activities have been prepared, and we can set off now..."
"Don't host events," I said with a frown, "I told you, we came down just to take a look around. You have made it so troublesome, be careful and you really won't be able to integrate into interstellar civilization in the future - Rules for Exchanges between Different Civilizations
Article 6: The more etiquette, the more trouble. Before both parties fully understand each other’s cultural form, any etiquette and rules that are not related to direct communication may cause major misunderstandings.”
So a group of experts and scholars were stunned, and they took out their notebooks and quickly took notes. Uncle Qiao also raised his head and asked seriously: "Then what are the other five items in front of me? This knowledge is extremely important for an immature civilization like ours.
It’s important!”
I:"……"
Damn, the sixth article is all current. Where can I find the first five for you!
Shandora held back her laughter and stabbed me hard in the waist, but she still had a cold and aloof expression on her face. She raised her eyebrows at some of the politicians who were looking at each other in astonishment - that is, those other than experts and scholars.
Chin: "We hope you will prepare a low-key guide. We are not interested in any sensitive factors such as local military, technology, politics, etc. You can help us according to the specifications for receiving tourist groups. If you understand, just follow this
Let's do it. As for the so-called welcome activities and receptions, as well as meeting with your politicians...well, I don't have time for the moment, but if he is willing to accompany us shopping, I don't care."
Everyone at the scene suddenly became more stunned. But in the end, the respected priest of the God of War was more decisive. He patted the shoulder of the person next to him: "Just do it. We are the children who know nothing about the current situation."
The expected welcoming team and escorting army were replaced by an inconspicuous hover vehicle. It seemed to be a relatively common means of transportation in this world. Under Sandora's direct request and tough attitude, the only people who came with us were
Several people, including Mr. Qiao who was as excited as a child - the old man was still studying the problem of my inability to get rid of dandruff. The remaining big shots had to stay in the wilderness due to the sudden change of missions.
Get on the bus, wave goodbye to us despite the exhaust fumes, and then wait for the next flight in twenty minutes...
"I guess there will be tons of people following us along the way, and they all think they haven't been discovered by us." The internal space of this kind of hover car is very large, but Sandora still squeezed into the same seat with me, and used a
She leaned on my shoulder in a comfortable position, with an interesting expression on her face, and communicated her little bad taste to me through the mental connection, "You said that if we suddenly disappeared through space teleportation at this time, they would be in chaos.
What's it like?"
I glanced at her and said, "Why don't we consider that a few alien conspiracy theorists and staunch human protectionists rushed out at this time, attacked this hover vehicle and clamored to take back the planet from aliens. Two groups of people
The fight was fierce, and eventually the Fifth Fleet and Blue Star had a serious misunderstanding and broke out into a war. In the end, a legend was left in the scorched earth about the arrival of the Great Demon King..."
Speaking of which, I feel like I and Shandora are both possessed by Qian Qian.
At this moment, I noticed that the scene outside had changed. After passing a road entrance that resembled a toll station but saw no people, the buildings outside the floating car became denser and became taller, more beautiful, and neater. This was obviously
We entered the urban area. A city built by a highly developed (by earth people's standards) magical civilization. But it may be because we have seen so many weird and strange other worlds. The unique buildings and cities here
The style is not too novel to me. The biggest feature of this city is that most of the buildings are close to cylindrical shape - the indigenous residents of Blue Star seem to be quite fond of "circles" and related geometries.
, their single-person aircraft is a disk, the large spaceship is an ellipsoid, and the buildings are cylinders or hemispheres. This is a planet full of smooth parabolas, and the symmetry of the buildings is also arranged according to rings. On and on the earth
In comparison, there are no street lights on both sides of the city's main roads, which seem a bit unusually wide. In fact, there are no public lighting equipment anywhere. I don't know how they solve the city's nighttime lighting problem. What's more confusing is that
, this city is obviously quite large, but we didn’t see many pedestrians along the way, and the streets seemed very deserted-I couldn’t help but think that maybe the authorities had evacuated all the people.
Thinking of this, I looked up at the sky: there is a large piece of transparent roof on the roof of this oval-shaped suspension car.
From the clear and cloudless dome, one can see the gray-white shadows covering almost the entire sky. The shadows are numerous and countless, and some shadows are moving quickly. That is the Fifth Fleet in orbit. Due to its location,
The Fifth Fleet blocked part of the sunlight, but because the fleet had been evacuated, this aggregate, which was more than ten times larger than the Blue Star, did not completely plunge this side of the planet into darkness, but only left large shadows in the sky.
.These spaceships should be closer to the planet. The spacecraft on the other side of the fleet are now out of the range that can be observed by the naked eye on the surface.
"Not long ago, the entire daytime hemisphere of the planet fell into a dusk-like scene, causing a lot of panic. Then we learned that a fleet appeared in space." Mr. Qiao noticed my gaze and looked to the sky. "Some people thought that there was an invasion.
The attackers are coming. But I despise the imagination of those guys - using a fleet of this size to invade a planet the size of a stone? It is just as ridiculous as sending an army of 100,000 to attack a bachelor who eats meat on fasting day. I calculated
Even melting the entire Blue Star into liquid wouldn't be enough to give the fleet a bath, so I thought you were not an invading force, so I led my people to check the situation. Hey, it's exactly what the old man thought,
You guys are quite easy to talk to, I didn't even expect you to agree to transfer the spacecraft out of the star system so readily - I thought the negotiations would be difficult."
So before you set off, you brought along the alien communication manual you studied, right?
"There are a lot of people gathered in front!" Sandora suddenly pointed out the car window and whispered. My thoughts were interrupted, and I noticed. After passing through an unusually deserted neighborhood, we finally encountered this
The prosperous side of the city - too prosperous!
Groups of ordinary citizens gathered on the wide streets and roadside squares. Everyone was wearing strange clothes and holding huge and eye-catching signs in their hands. It took me a long time to open the window of the floating car, and suddenly there was a burst of excitement.
The sound almost made me faint. The roaring sound outside was like a storm. There were many high platforms on the roadside - perhaps temporary ones - and most of them had one or a group of characters who seemed to be very provocative standing on them.
Standing on the high platform closest to us was an old man wearing a magician's robe with white beard and hair. This old magician, who was even more Gandalf than Gandalf, waved the staff in his hand high and shouted loudly with lightning wrapped around his body: "
In the name of magic! Aliens do exist!"
Then a group of mages below, who seemed to have run out of Dalaran, raised their arms and shouted: "Citizens have the right to know the truth! All communications with aliens must be made public!"
On the far opposite platform on the other side stood a group of younger magicians, who also used arcane lightning to attract people's attention. They held up strange little green man models in their hands, and each one spoke louder than the other.
Da: "Communications with aliens must be cautious! And it is a matter for all mankind! We call for the disclosure of this process!"
The citizens below had a variety of slogans:
"We should report to the God of War immediately! We need God's instructions to act now!"
"This is the test God has given us to verify whether human civilization can get out of the cradle planet! We must solve everything independently to satisfy God!"
"I was abducted by aliens ten years ago, and a large number of people with the same fate gathered around me! We have not been taken seriously for many years, and now we ask for a way to disclose our personal experiences, and at the same time welcome more people with the same fate.
Compatriots joining the team, our contact information is..."
"The Astrology Psychic Organization is here to appeal! All people who have special abilities and can use radio waves to communicate directly with aliens should unite. We should become the key bridge to communicate with aliens - believe us, we understand.
Their language!!#￥%………%#￥#%#￥%…￥!”
I quickly poked Mr. Qiao: "That sentence just now feels like that alien language you were studying?"
Mr. Qiao's face turned red: "I actively promote my research, and it seems that I finally have a folk version..."
I looked up at the sky speechlessly, this weird old man is really causing harm to people...
The scene outside really makes me unable to calm down. There is a lump in my throat that I can’t get up and down. You may think that if you see such a citizen gathering in an American science fiction blockbuster, it might not be a big deal, but now there is a man wearing a wizard’s robe outside.
Old man Gandalf was raising his arms and shouting "Aliens exist". Once again, I was deeply aware of the strong trend of mystery and technology finally becoming unified, and inevitably thought of the gang of heavy-duty riders in the Shadow City.
The blood elf motorcycle gang racing on the streets, as well as the tauren gunners and the undercity death metal rock band...
When I thought of Shadow City, I finally couldn't help but cover my head: What kind of world have I created...
Mr. Qiao and the God of War Priest named "Thunder" apologized awkwardly to Sandora and I. They felt that it was a shame for aliens to see such rude behavior of the people of Blue Star, and it seemed that Mr. Lei
We were ready to order the evacuation of the people here, but Sandora and I immediately expressed our indifference and understanding of the matter - in fact, this is a normal phenomenon in many cases, no need to make a fuss, and neither Sandora nor I
There will be no dissatisfaction.
And after hearing my explanation, Mr. Qiao fell into deep thinking: "It seems that the place called Hollywood does often come into contact with aliens, but it has been so many times, and now they still treat the president every time
Stuff it into a bomb shelter?"
Me: "Hehe...hehehe..."
At this moment, our hover car rounded a corner, and a large, wide and quiet open space suddenly appeared in front of us.
Although less than a few dozen meters away is the scene of a citizen gathering, which is as lively as a war, no one here dares to make a loud noise. The entire area is enveloped in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and even the sound seems to be noisy.
It was filtered, leaving only 40 decibels of standard ambient sound - the two areas were completely different, as if there was an invisible wall blocking both sides.
Because there is a statue in the center of this clearing. For the locals, it is a sacred statue that they would rather die than offend: their supreme war god statue stands here.
I leaned out the window and stared at the ten-meter-high, lifelike stone statue. After thinking for a long time, there was only one sentence that could describe the excitement in my heart at this moment:
Your uncle’s 123!
(Sure enough, many people guessed it...whenever I mentioned the God of War, I immediately thought of who it was.)
