Stray Dogs was the original name of the spacecraft.
More than 20 years ago, faced with the constant harassment of ancient creatures, mankind formulated a great escape plan called "The Sad Magpie" in desperation.
The sad magpie comes from the idiom "dove occupying the magpie's nest".
Doves are a nasty bird. They are very lazy. If they don't want to build their own nests, they will occupy the magpie's home without conscience. If they don't want to raise their own children, they will kill the magpie's children without conscience and let the magpie feed them.
In the eyes of human beings, the ancient creatures that invaded the earth are annoying doves, and they are the magpies squeezed out of their nests. The weak themselves can only chirp in despair outside the nest, and finally run away from home sadly.
Later, even God couldn't stand it anymore and sent a messenger to mankind.
Humanity saw the dawn of hope again, and the Sad Magpie was officially changed to the Ship of Tomorrow on that day!
No matter how dark today is, no matter how miserable today is, there is always hope for tomorrow!
The Stray Dog, ready to escape like a dog, became a ship of hope in the eyes of mankind, leading an army of millions into the distant Devonian Period.
Shortly after the spacecraft took off, the bearded Mumutu came to Lin Shuhang's exclusive room.
This is a room specially modified for Lin Shuhang. It was once the main granary of the Wandering Dog. It is more than a hundred meters high and can ensure that Lin Shuhang can do somersaults in it without hitting his head.
"Big Beard, congratulations on your promotion to captain of the Ship of Tomorrow."
Lin Shuhang sat on the huge sofa and greeted Mumutu.
The bearded Mumutu rolled his eyes: "The deputy! The real one is Kakala."
"Kakala asked me to tell you that the spacecraft has arrived in low-Earth orbit and is making final preparations before crossing. She asked me to talk to you about the crossing."
"After crossing, our mothership will be parked on the moon waiting for news from you."
Mumutu said: "Due to various reasons, most of your historical knowledge will be lost after time travel, which means that in ancient times you will know nothing about history. But don't worry, you can ask us for help online, we will help
You look for information to help you get through the difficulties, and of course, we will send troops to rescue you if necessary."
"Stay in lunar orbit?"
Lin Shuhang asked in surprise: "Aren't you going to travel with me?"
"Yes, we may not be able to adapt to the previous climate of the earth, so we will not land on the earth. We can only use the moon as a base to wait for your news."
"In order to prevent you from having an accident in ancient times, we will implant a contact device in your arm before traveling through time. If necessary, you can ask us for help online. Our army of millions will be at your service at any time."
An army of millions is at my service at any time?
Lin Shuhang became inexplicably excited, but then Mumutu poured cold water on him: "Don't be too happy, messenger, there are conditions for helping you. In ancient times, you had to use gold to buy the things you need, such as
Historical information, guidance information, weapons and armies, etc.”
"No way? It's gold again!" How come these damn miniature people can't talk about gold? They are all just like the landlords in the old society.
Mumutu shrugged: "There is no way, our mothership is a gold-eating monster, and it must continuously consume gold to operate normally. If you don't give us gold, we can't provide you with any help, which is of no use to you.
It’s beneficial.”
"I can understand your difficulties."
Lin Shuhang asked: "How much gold does it cost to mobilize an army?"
Mumutu said: "It depends on how many soldiers you borrow."
"For example, what about the strength of a division?" Lin Shuhang asked.
"This number!" Mumutu held out a finger.
"One tael of gold?" Lin Shuhang asked.
I think the price is still acceptable, after all, you can get the support of a division of troops in case of danger.
Although these soldiers are small in size, they are powerful in numbers and can kill an elephant with thousands of troops.
Mumutu blew his beard angrily: "You want to mobilize an entire division for just one tael of gold? Boy, are our soldiers so worthless?"
Lin Shuhang thought to himself, if something goes wrong, this guy will probably open his mouth wide.
As expected, Mumutu raised his chin and said arrogantly: "To tell you the truth, one tael of gold can only be exchanged for one soldier. We are real people. If we wipe out the small change for you, one division will count as 10,000 taels of gold."
"
Damn you! Is ten thousand taels of gold really real? You guys really dare to ask for it! How can I get so much gold for you if I don’t even have any pants? Isn’t this just a scam?
"How about asking for help online?"
Lin Shuhang asked: "For example, let me ask you some historical questions."
Mumutu replied: "The price of each request for help is calculated based on the importance of the information. For example, if you have low-level information - you don't know which dynasty you are in after time travel? We need to pay 1 tael of gold for online help."
"How stupid am I? I won't ask others about such a stupid thing? It's so damn dark!"
At this moment, a broadcast sounded in the spacecraft: Envoy, please pay attention. After hearing the news, please rush to the spacecraft cabin 208. Envoy, please pay attention. After hearing the news, please rush to the spacecraft cabin 208...
"Let's go," Mumutu said, "I'm going to implant a communication device into you."
The communication device Mumutu mentioned was as big as a grain of rice and was planted in Lin Shuhang's right arm. After making all preparations, the spacecraft began to accelerate around the earth's low-Earth orbit.
In fact, traveling through time and space is not as complicated as imagined. As long as the spacecraft reaches the speed of light, it can reverse the flow of time and enter ancient times.
Since the country only provided 30 tons of gold when the spacecraft set sail, in order to ensure the normal operation of the mothership, Kakala only allocated 20 energy slots to accelerate the engine.
20 energy tanks are the minimum standard for a spacecraft to fly at the speed of light. It is expected to travel to 4000 years ago, which is around 15 AD.
AD 15 is the ancient time of this era, which is equivalent to the Spring and Autumn Period of Lin Shuhang's era. Kakala told Lin Shuhang that after traveling to the AD era, gold must be collected continuously. At least 20 tons of gold can be used for the spacecraft to make a second time travel. The more gold collected, the more gold can be collected.
The dynasties that travel forward are farther away, otherwise they will always stay in the Western Yuan Dynasty where princes compete for hegemony.
Lin Shuhang didn't know if all this was fate, but he just watched the spacecraft speeding around the earth like this without any room for negotiation.
The golden gold was continuously pushed into the huge furnace by the soldiers using forklifts. The energy tank of the spacecraft continued to rise. After finally accumulating 20 energy tanks, Captain Kakala resolutely pressed the light speed switch.
The huge mothership was shaken, and suddenly sprayed out dozens of dazzling blue air streams, and began to fly around the earth in circles, and soon turned into a line of light and shadow reaching the speed of light.
The light speed state only lasted for a short period of time before the accumulated energy was exhausted, and it slowly hovered in the orbit of the Earth in the AD era.
Kakala looked at Lin Shuhang: "Warrior, the time has come to go to war! Don't be afraid, we have always been your strong backing. The Federation Army will be waiting for your return on the moon. Let's go, Warrior!"
"Salute!" Under the leadership of Kakala, one million villain soldiers saluted Lin Shuhang in unison.
Lin Shuhang had a dark face and said nothing, silently getting into his landing cabin.
The huge circular landing module was immediately thrown away by the spacecraft at high altitude, and fell rapidly towards the earth of the Christian era.
At this time, Lin Shuhang did not know that he had completed the first phase of the task issued by the system and quietly obtained 5 billion shock points from the system...
