Chapter five hundred and seventy-six news of Lilina
Chapter 576: News from Lilina
The administrative center of the planet Zetas is located near the equator of this terrestrial planet. The most eye-catching thing in the city center is a tower-like building that rises high and tilts into the sky like an animal horn. There is a hanging on the top of the building.
The one-third round cake structure protruding from the tower body, this is where we are now.
When General Jayne went to explain to his superiors why the entire colony would be captured when he went out to eliminate two groups of small pirates, of course I suspect that he wanted to introduce more how he regained the lost territory in just six hours.
At that time, we were temporarily placed in this place that obviously had a very high administrative level. Well, I'm not sure about the administrative level, but it was really high enough.
It should be called the Presidential Palace or something like that. This design is such a pain in the ass. It doesn’t use a good solid structure. It insists on using such an unconventional and mysterious building shape to build an unbalanced tower crane. It’s just a coquettish way to show off one’s material knowledge.
It's just technology. Anyway, after seeing this tower that was built as if it was waiting to collapse, the first thing I did was sigh, the psychological quality of the guys living under the tower is really naughty.
The imperial buildings are sturdy, durable and designed to be reliable. We install an anti-gravity generator on each floor of the building from three floors up...
"The city looks like a junkyard, I mean the impression it gives."
Renault stood in the middle of the large semi-circular outer slanted window, looking at the city scene below. After a long time, he took two steps back, feeling dizzy, and shrugged at us.
"I feel the same." The chairs here don't seem to be designed for humans. At least the body structures of humans in this universe may be different from those on earth. I felt very uncomfortable sitting on that luxurious-looking chair, so I had to
Standing up and walking around, "There are various architectural styles, and each area has a different tone, and it seems that these are intentional by their planners. I don't know if it is a matter of differences in the aesthetics of the two universes. Anyway, I see
It’s so awkward to look at everything in this world.”
“But people think it’s quite interesting here!”
Qianqian had been running around the room since just now, embarking on an indoor adventure with the curious Viska. At this time, she felt that it was time to express her opinion again.
"Isn't it the same in our Shadow City? Next to the dwarf building is the orc crypt, behind the troll tree house is next to the elven house, opposite the skyscraper is the mage floating tower, and there is the goblin commercial street in between..."
I suddenly choked: "Ahem...then our home is much more organized than here..."
But I really should face up to Qianqian's occasional sharpness. After she reminded me like this, I really discovered the similarities between this big city known as the "Capital of Jetas" and the Shadow City, with a large number of residential areas of different styles.
It is a jagged place with urban facilities from different cultures and even technological systems. If there is any difference from the Shadow City, as I just said, this place is several times more chaotic than the Shadow City, and there is almost no trace of orderly planning.
"Ajun, you know, I have always had a feeling," Sister said, leaning over gently, "Everything in this world is pieced together, not just those spaceships, but also this city, and what we just saw
The residents of the world we visited were dressed in different costumes, and even the furnishings in this room... Although I didn’t quite understand some of the things Tavel mentioned, we all saw one thing: these indigenous people have
The stratification of technology has reached an incredible level, and even more than a dozen unrelated technological products have been forcibly blended together.”
After admiring Qianqian's occasional sharpness, I also have to admire my elder sister's thoroughness and observation. Do you think it is easy for me as a guy with ordinary intelligence?
"It's so high here - Chen Jun, are we traveling abroad - eh? What is this..." Sylvia's slow and silly voice came from behind.
Suddenly I felt confident again.
So what about mortals? Is there still Sylvia who is short-sighted?
However, sister-sama and Qianqian's keen observations are both reasonable. The cultural system of this world is their own business, so we won't mention it for the time being, but what is going on with their technological system that has a hammer and a hammer in the west? Fuel
The engine is equipped with a jump engine, gunpowder weapons are equipped with laser turrets, and even the armor of the battleship is made from steel to interstellar alloys. It makes me feel like the uncle Wang next door wears a vest and tie, a straw hat, slippers on his left foot, a crocodile on his right foot, and a wad of Vietnamese money.
Going to KFC and getting a bowl of Old London fried noodles is just as out of place. If you don’t feel confused after reading this sentence, you will feel the same when you look at the current technological status of this world that spans tens of thousands of years of technological history of a civilization.
Messy.
In my impression, the only ones who can mess with technology to this extent are those Chinese science fictions that are not popular. For example, driving a thirty-meter-high mecha to practice ancient martial arts and making the robot squat on horseback, thinking that it can enhance the body's balance.
But they don’t know about metal fatigue and don’t change the gyroscope until death. For example, they have a dazzling array of shortcut keys and don’t know how to use hand speed to determine the technical cramps. They are like typing more than two hundred lines of code in a minute and wait until they are almost gone.
I know that there are magical skills in the world called ctrl+c, ctrl+v, and so on.
Of course, the above-mentioned technical pain and the above-mentioned technical pain are not the same concept at all. The ancient martial arts mecha and hand speed victory over macro are things that are fun to watch, while the technological chaos of Jetas is full of head-scratching logic.
guess.
While waiting for Jayne to come back, we have eagerly discussed no less than ten conjectures about the current technological status of this universe. Even Shandora and Tavel from the Shadow City also participated. The conjectures discussed included the theory of technological discontinuity.
, the theory of great technological collapse, the theory of inheritance of high civilization, the theory of techno-theistic paranoia, and the shallowly creative theory of the empire’s soy sauce group’s past wars causing eternal disasters (unfortunately, this last theory makes all of us produce at least 100%
10% convinced), during the entire discussion, Lin Daxian was always sitting in a corner of the communication window with a smile on his face, leaning lazily on the sofa like a rich lady, holding a hand made of feathers from a mercury lamp.
The feather duster was pointing back and forth among us, as if I know everything and won’t tell you. At first, I thought she had just finished cleaning the house, but later I found out that this girl planned to cosplay Kong Ming. Unfortunately, Mercury Lamp is undergoing rehabilitation treatment, An Wei
Na's crow feathers were not suitable, so she had to use a feather duster instead of a feather fan...
You think we guys are so miserable?
"I'm very sorry, friends from the Federation, for keeping you waiting for so long!"
The sudden loud voice from the door brought our boring chat to an end temporarily. Major General Jayne, who went to report on the work, finally came back. Actually, what I want to say is, if you don't show up, we are all going to start discussing life in this universe.
The history of evolution...
I had only seen Jayne through the communicator before, and there was only one profile picture. My clearest impression of him was the left arm that was always raised - holding the camera. Now he can breathe when he sees it.
I just sighed: He is worthy of being an old general who really leads troops on the battlefield. His height of almost 1.489 Pandora and the faint tendons under the military uniform are really not in vain. The sight of a middle-aged and elderly handsome guy makes people inevitably complain:
Uncle, you haven't been living under a cliff waiting for a boy with extraordinary talent to knock him down. Until recently, you have been waiting for a long time to change your career and become a space captain, right?
"It's not too long."
Uncle Renault stood up to greet each other and stretched out his arms to each other politely. This was a symbolic invitation to hug. Regardless of whether the two were really strong enough to be two big men, they could fight fiercely in public.
, as a politician, such a hug is unavoidable. In the end, Jayne is indeed a soldier, and he is still there. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Renault, making a crunching sound.
This was just the temperament of an old soldier, but Uncle Renault also became more temperamental, and this time it was Jayne who made the noise.
I said, uncle with stubble, you are almost done. His white hair has already occupied one-third of the commanding heights. If you really do something good, you won't have to count on the pile of medical bills for bruises and injuries.
In short, the two high-ranking military generals of all parties completed a historic hug, and then they each hugged their ribs and sat down in their seats. I was secretly grateful that Renault was promoted to the position of press spokesman.
, I'm really not used to hugging an old man like this, you should change to a soft girl - if Qian Qian doesn't bite afterward.
Besides, I really don’t know what kind of structure these soldiers have in their minds...
"I think you should accept the cheers of the people as the heroes of Jetas," Jayne couldn't wait to tell us as soon as we sat down. "We should celebrate. Apart from the day when the colony was established, this is the most memorable day for Jetas."
On the day of , we drove out the most vicious invaders..."
"Actually, they only managed to illegally stay on your planet for six hours. When they left, they didn't even have time to rob civilian girls." Renault said jokingly, looked at my face, and said to Jay
En shook his head apologetically, "We are not interested in these vain things, and I don't think your superiors will be happy by holding any grand celebration at this time."
"Well, I think so," the middle-aged and older handsome guy Jayne agreed with Renault's statement with an amazing bachelor attitude. "Those nerds who only discuss the political atmosphere and the guidance of public opinion are really idiots. Forget about the celebration ceremony.
But maybe we could have a drink?”
Now I am very curious, how did this old man, who was known as a tough man and could get the title of escape, managed to get to the position of major general - all his colleagues were dead?
After hearing the words "drink", Renault's face flashed red, which was visible to the naked eye. Oh my God, this uncle really has no resistance to these three words now. I heard that the upper echelons of the New Eden Federation
Everyone who is a gossip knows how their beloved James Raynor usually lets his wife rule. Kerrigan found out that Raynor was drinking and drowning his sorrows in those days and was almost out of shape. After that, he was heartbroken and angry.
In order to prevent the federation, which had just escaped from the nightmare, from ushering in an alcoholic leader, Kerrigan, who had transitioned from a queen to a good wife, almost used all the concentration camp tactics when helping Renault quit drinking. Not to mention every success.
Behind every man there is an S woman, and every S woman is matched with an M man. Renault is still enjoying letting his girl rule like this, but now he is a little thirsty because he has not drank for several months.
That's all.
"I said, how many times have you tried to quit drinking?"
Touching Renault on the shoulder, I looked at the uncle who looked embarrassed rather teasingly.
"Who is this?"
Seeing me carelessly patting the "Federal Head" on the shoulder, General Jayne was a little confused. It's not his fault. From the beginning, we only introduced Raynor and Zeratul as the spokesperson and military and political leaders.
Of course you don't know my identity - but your "Who is this passerby" look in your eyes is really annoying!
"He is my boss." Reno pointed at me nonchalantly and said in our accustomed way, "Although I am the head of the federation, here, I have to listen to him."
"Well, we'll talk about my business later, and we'll talk about today's inexplicable battles later." Seeing that Jayne still wanted to delve deeper, I quickly interrupted, otherwise the matter would become unclear, "You know, we are
At this point in my journey, I am very unfamiliar with the situation in this place, such as the pirates running rampant everywhere and your weird multilateral relationships - if you don't mind, how about telling me about this?"
"You haven't received that message yet?" This time, Jayne looked at us in surprise, "Could it be that...shepherds are also late sometimes?"
"Shepherd?" I noticed this word that I heard more than once, but I didn't dare to show too much confusion. Jayne's reaction just now was not quite right. It seemed that under normal circumstances we had received the call from the so-called "shepherd".
"People" are notified. If you act too confused, there is no guarantee that he will not make some associations, "Ah, who knows, I am still confused."
"...Okay, maybe the shepherds are lazy sometimes," Jayne did not dwell on this issue, "Just remember one thing, when you come to this place, sooner or later you will encounter the shepherds, or their orders
, I am not being alarmist, if you fight alone, you will die here sooner or later. Shepherds have no mercy. All they need is to let the entire universe kill each other. I should have told you more, but... Shepherd
I haven't contacted you until now, so I don't know what they are planning, so it might be a wise move to say less..."
Jayne's words were a bit flashy, and there was undisguised uneasiness and nervousness on his face. I never thought that this old tough guy general would be like this. Who are those "shepherds"?
The evil forces in this universe? Or...
This is so deceiving, I actually thought of Lilina... That girl's harm should not be so exaggerated and quick, right?
But no matter how much I asked, Jayne refused to say more. He was very tight-lipped about the shepherd. Even about the situation in this world, he repeatedly said that he needed to wait for the shepherd's clear instructions before he could tell us. This would make a general so scared.
, it even sounds like it is so feared by all countries in the entire universe. The organization "Shepherd" was instantly labeled as "American" in my heart.
"Speaking of which, there should be other fleets that have wandered here before us," pretending to be casual, my sister sat down next to me and said, "I heard your tone before, and it seems that you are not surprised by the wandering fleet.
Already."
Thanks to my sister’s reminder, a lot of us have almost forgotten about Lilina.
"The Trek Fleet, of course, is here in this place. There are Trek Fleets almost every day. They break in recklessly and are trapped here. Well, do you hope to find a fleet that comes from the same place as yours? Don't waste time, that one
The chances are extremely slim..."
"Of course, my sister just asked casually."
"This is human nature, and it was the same when we first came here... Speaking of which, there was some trouble in the eastern part of the Great Nebula a while ago, but it was just a rumor..."
Before Jayne finished speaking, I felt something in my mind: He mentioned that it was the same when he first came here. In other words, the person in front of me actually traveled here from another universe?
Is it possible for ghosts to break the wall if prevailing in this universe?
"Eastern Sky Region? We don't know anything about the star map of this universe, but are those troubles related to the Trek Fleet?"
"Absolutely," Jayne opened the conversation and was also a good talker. "It is said that a cult organization suddenly appeared. It was extremely powerful in battle. Some people even rumored that they were as powerful as the shepherds. They first killed all the people in the entire sky.
The pirate force then disappeared, and now they only come out occasionally to scare people. It is said that their doctrines change every day, and the title of the organization must be decided at a citizens' meeting every Monday. They rob everywhere, claiming to rob the rich and give to the poor, but
But the actions are often unorganized, resulting in the looted items not knowing who to give them to, so they just find an uninhabited planet and throw them away..."
Before the old handsome guy said anything to me, I clapped my hands and said, "I'm not running away. No one except Lilina can do such a desperate thing."
But Jayne’s knowledge is limited. The Great Nebula is ten light years away from this place. It is the center of this star map and has almost no connection with Jetas, although humans in this universe have also mastered super-time and space communication.
Technology, but they are not so luxurious that they can travel ten light years for a walk when they have nothing to do. The information in Jayne's mouth is just some gossip, about the neurotic and unidentified person who suddenly appeared to preach everywhere (all these adjectives were written by Jayne
There are no less than a hundred interpretations of the church (courtesy of En) in this universe, and the number of versions that Jayne knows is not as many as those of two street aunts...
You can see how big a sensation Lilina caused when she first arrived.
However, one thing is certain. After Lilina made a big fuss when she first arrived, she immediately went into hibernation. As a result, many people in this universe did not actually know the true face of the Temple Legion and could only rely on rumors.
Spread, I don’t know how that girl did such a behavior that was completely inconsistent with her character, but at least she saved me a huge amount of headaches.
The distance of ten light-years is a hugely expensive journey for the indigenous people who have not yet perfected the technology of hyperspace jump, but it is nothing to us. I immediately decided to go to the eastern sky of the Great Nebula to explore the details first.
But before I could announce this decision to Qianqian and the others, Jayne gave me another piece of information.
Her Majesty, the "Queen" of the Free Kingdom of Gotak, wants to meet us.
