The communicator quickly interpreted the strange communication signals. They came from a certain Irem floating island. Hao Ren turned on the communicator, and a male voice who tried to stay calm but whose tone was obviously shaking came out: "Alien spacecraft
, please explain your identity, please explain your identity..."
This is the first time that the Erim elves have seen strange space travelers appear above their "home planet". Their surprise and excitement are self-evident, and they are very impressed by this civilization that has been struggling in embarrassment for thousands of years.
In other words, it doesn't matter who the outsiders are or what their purpose is. Any change is a great incentive for them. Hao Ren originally wanted to experience what it was like to speak to a strange civilization, but after thinking about it, he decided to
Hilda pushed forward: "You tell me."
Hilda nodded gratefully and opened her mouth in front of the communicator. It took a long time to calm down: "Wim, is that you?"
The communicator suddenly fell into extreme silence. This silence vaguely revealed the huge shock of someone on the other end of the communicator. Half a minute later, a trembling voice came: "Mother?! Are you back?
!”
This time it was Hao Ren and his friends' turn to be silenced for a while.
Hilda didn't notice the change in the surrounding atmosphere, but said quickly with a look of joy: "It's me, I was sent to another world, but fortunately it was okay, I got help from the locals to return to Irem
.Now we are going to land on Rising Sun Floating Island..."
Hilda quickly discussed the proper landing with someone on the other end of the communicator, and greeted Hao Ren: "Please follow those triangular cruise planes, they are taking us to the landing site."
Hao Ren quickly asked the data terminal to do as he was told. When the spacecraft slowly approached the floating island, he couldn't hold it in any longer: "By the way, that was your son just now?"
"Yes, Wim is my only child. It seems that he temporarily took on the role of leader during my absence." Hilda looked proud. "It seems that the order in Irem has not collapsed yet, and the situation is finally better than
I imagined it was better."
Hao Ren chuckled. He thought to himself that these creatures with extremely long lifespans really cannot be judged according to common sense. Hilda looked about the same age as him, and her son was already the regent. In the past two days, he always accidentally
Hilda regarded her as a girl of the same generation as herself, and the sense of incongruity at this moment was simply a slap in the face.
Vivian noticed the strange expression on Hao Ren's face and of course she could guess what this guy was thinking. She leaned forward and poked the other person's arm: "So you have to adapt to the immortal species. If nothing else, there is an archaeological
Among the caveman stone tools on display in the museum, there are two beads that I wore back then... I thought about it for several years and didn’t know how to ask anyone to get it back, but I feel heartbroken.”
Hao Ren couldn't stop the cold sweat on his forehead. He sat tremblingly on the chair and kept mumbling: "You are amazing, you are amazing, you will last forever... No, you really will last forever..."
At this time, the spacecraft, led by several "cruisers", had arrived over a floating island located in the middle of the space island chain. The details of this island gradually appeared before everyone's eyes. Its size was similar to other islands, and it also had an outer edge.
It is a man-made "hoop" that protrudes about half a kilometer from the earth's surface. There is a hazy halo at the top of the hoop, shrouding the entire floating island in a nearly transparent shield, and on the top of this hemispherical shield there is
You can see the clouds formed by the condensation of water vapor. It is obvious that the Irem elves have simulated the effect of the natural atmosphere in this magnificent creation. At the same time, everyone saw a part on the floating island that was different from other islands: this
There are many particularly huge buildings in the center of the island, and there is an extra high wall around those buildings. This is something you cannot see on other islands.
After asking Hilda, the group found out that it was the "Royal Court" of the Erim elves, and it was also Hilda's palace. However, it was said that it was a royal court, and those huge buildings were not luxurious, nor did they have any unique royal uses.
Enjoyment, its huge area is mainly used to accommodate functional agencies such as the Parliament, the Resource Presbyterian Council, the Technology Presbyterian Council, the Island Protection Presbyterian Council and the like. The place where the Queen and her family live is just a certain spire in the huge building complex.
However, the spacecraft cannot land directly in the Royal Court, and there is no platform for this big guy to take off and land. Guided by the navigation signal, the Giant Turtle Rock Platform arrived at a prominent point on the edge of the floating island, which was supported by a huge alloy skeleton.
A series of semicircular platforms, which are where the Erim Elves take off and land spacecraft. Because this entire facility is outside the floating island shield, its surface is covered with an additional translucent barrier to prevent air loss.
The Giant Turtle Yantai was guided to find a larger platform for its landing. As the spacecraft slowly descended, Hao Ren noticed that it passed through a "membrane" that rippled like water.
It should be the same thing as the shield above the floating island.
There were already many people waiting on the take-off and landing platform. There were no less than a hundred men and women, and they seemed to be representatives of the Erim elves. These "greeting teams" were obviously hastily formed, and some of them even had confused expressions on their faces.
Further away, you can see people rushing in. Apart from these people, there is no guard of honor at the scene. There are no other colorful welcome groups, even hastily formed groups can't be seen. Obviously, Ari
The Mu elves have abandoned this habit for a long time. The hatch of the Giant Turtle Platform slowly opened under the gaze of these elves. Hao Ren pushed Hilda ahead and let her be the first to step off the ship.
Then he led the others to show up one by one.
There's no other noble reason, it's just that these bumpkins, except Yzaks, are all a little nervous...
As soon as Hilda appeared, the group of elves obviously became commotion, and then a tall blond young man who looked about the same age as Hilda quickly walked out from the front of the crowd. He seemed to want to give Hilda a hug, but was hindered by this.
He hesitated for a moment with the calm demeanor that should be required under such circumstances, but Hilda took the initiative to give him a hug: "Wim, it's so good to see you again."
"Mother, I'm so glad to see you are safe and sound." The young man hugged by Hilda was indeed the prince of the Erim elf, Vim, the only son of Her Majesty the Queen, who looked ridiculously young.
Lily murmured next to Hao Ren: "These two really look like siblings."
At this time, Hilda turned around and introduced a group of friends from another world to Wim: "They are the ones who helped me. These people are very powerful and come from an incredible organization. This is Hao Ren, they are..."
Hilda finished introducing them one by one, but because it took time to explain the concept of the Space-Time Management Bureau, she did not go into details. Wim quickly came to Hao Ren and bowed with the unique etiquette of the Irem elves:
"Thank you for saving my mother."
Hao Ren stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party: "Easy to say, easy to say..."
Wim looked at Hao Ren's stretched out hand curiously, and it turned out that it was exactly the same as his mother had done before: holding Hao Ren's wrist and shaking it vigorously up and down.
The group of people walked along the wide walkway towards the exit of the landing platform, with Wim and Hilda walking in front. The former was asking something: "Mother, you said you are in another world these days?"
"Yes, another world - not the universe we currently know, but a truly another world."
"Did the space-time accelerator succeed? Or... was it more successful than expected?"
"No, it failed. My time traveling into another world was just an accidental by-product. The probability is extremely low and there is no replicability. There is a problem with the design of the accelerator itself, so this project must be stopped. Let's not talk about these things for now.
How was it? What happened after that explosion? What about the Island of Stars? What about the Island of Rainbow Light?"
"Let's talk slowly on the road," Wim paused unnaturally. This pause contained an unsettling factor. At this moment, several round-looking oblate ellipsoid-shaped vehicles were parked at the exit, and he pulled himself
The mother walked towards one of the floats and pointed to the other one next to it, "Please take the guests on this float."
"No, the float has a lot of space. I hope to ride with them," Hilda nodded to Hao Ren. "There are no secrets that can be hidden from them. They don't care how big the secrets of an ordinary civilization are."
"Wait a minute," Hao Ren suddenly remembered something before following the others in the car. Then he turned to press the Giant Turtle Yantai number twice, and heard two beeps from the spaceship, "Okay."
Already."
Vivian looked at Hao Ren with a strange expression in the car: "You used a motorcycle anti-theft lock to lock the spacecraft?"
Hao Ren had a bitter look on his face: "Raven 12345 is for installation... It's not enough if you don't use it, otherwise the spacecraft door won't lock."
