Mira held on to the stone wall on the side, a small ball of white flame appeared in her hand and illuminated the surroundings. There was silence all around, and she could even hear her own heartbeat.
There was a broken hole in the huge metal wall, with torn black steel inside, and a deep darkness with no end to the light.
As time passed and Lorraine Hill never came out, Mira became a little worried and began to think wildly in her mind.
Stepping back and forth with her feet, sometimes stopping, sometimes walking, she looked at the hole leading inside from time to time, wondering if she should go in and take a look.
There was no sunlight or clock underground, and time seemed to have lost its boundaries. Mira became hungry, and then no longer felt hungry. After this cycle three times, just before her patience was about to be completely exhausted, a familiar voice suddenly appeared underground.
.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Mira looked back and saw that it was Lorraine Hill. She slowly fell from the air, her toes touched the ground, and then she stood steadily on the ground.
Compared to her when she went in, Lorraine Hill looked very tired at this time. When Mira asked her questions, she also answered very slowly, as if she had been thinking about other questions.
After a few times, Mira no longer disturbed the sage who was thinking about something, but quietly followed him, and the two returned to the ground.
When the silver-haired girl came out of the ground, the knight captain standing by also breathed a sigh of relief.
Lorraine Hill looked at the sky. The sky was completely dark at this time. At the exit of the mine, there were about 20 fully armed knights standing. They were all around Sequence 3 and were elites in the army.
In the dark and lonely mountains, these knights stood under the firelight, and their shadows were so straight. Only when the wind blew, they would sway slightly with the flames.
"You guys go back, thank you for your hard work. The Warcraft worms in this underground area have been dealt with." Lorraine Hill said.
"Yes, Lord Sage." The leading officer stood at attention and saluted, and then arranged for the team members to leave in unison.
After seeing these knights leaving, Lorraine Hill turned around and said.
"Let's go back too, Mira."
"Um."
A dark land, with forests shrouded in darkness and undulating along the curves of the hills.
As the airship slowly rose, the night wind blew in the face, carrying the girl's long hair, and then disappeared into the night sky behind.
Lorraine Hill looked down at the earth, the scene he saw in the storage device still echoing in his mind.
It was the middle to late twilight era, when the setting sun shone on the land.
The thick clouds that once obscured the sky have long since dissipated, and the sky appears as beautiful as sunset, with large aerial warships flying in the sky.
They are like giant whales in the deep sea, with countless small aircraft flying in and out.
These aircraft have hollow metal wings that are similar in shape to early propeller aircraft, but the hollow wings seem to contain some kind of magic circle that allows them to fly and levitate in the sky with extremely low power consumption.
Under the belly of the machine is some kind of particle-emitting weapon. The magical high-energy particles are spirally compressed in a specific circuit and then emitted, like a metal heat flow, melting gold and breaking iron.
The people riding in the aircraft are not complete humans, but only brains that are well sealed and equipped with various protective measures.
The members of the Mechanical Council finally abandoned their weak and difficult-to-use limbs and bodies, and instead used their only brain and extraordinary core to control and perceive everything. Their bodies were like accessories and could be replaced at will.
The perfect network allows them to freely communicate their consciousness and thoughts, and efficient cooperation and information sharing greatly increase the overall efficiency of their tribe.
All its members no longer need individuals to interbreed with each other to reproduce. Everything is given to the central council for deployment, and gene production cabins are used to uniformly cultivate new generations and then educate them.
At birth, it is decided whether a person will be a pilot or an agricultural worker. They will learn relevant knowledge according to the plan and then go to work.
After completing the work, the brain will secrete pleasant substances under the stimulation of the control device.
Individuals no longer need entertainment activities. The meaning of life lies in work, which makes people feel happy and excited. They will receive medals for their work achievements and then improve their status in the overall group.
All rewards and promotions are calculated by super AI, open and transparent, and the world becomes absolutely fair in another way.
Pilots and agricultural workers receive the same rewards, and they work the same number of hours per day (about 16 hours).
With such a united, efficient, orderly, and fearless group effort, the strength of the Mechanical Council began to skyrocket. Whether it was technology, the number of extraordinary people, or the number of combat groups, they all increased rapidly.
They defeated many organizations, such as the 'Tree of Life Sect', 'Rage Dragon', 'Deep Sea Alliance', 'Original Heart', 'Cloud of Retrospection' and so on.
Finally, before the arrival of the fourth millennium, the Mechanical Parliament unified the entire earth and began to move towards the vast starry sky.
------
"Your Highness the Sage."
"Lord Sage?"
"Your Highness Lorraine Hill."
The girl woke up from the memories of the past and looked around, had she already arrived?
Seeing that the girl woke up, Mira stopped waving her hands and continued speaking aside.
"We've arrived at our accommodation. I'll boil some water for you to take a bath."
Although the girl was not dirty, she had been walking underground for the past two days and stayed for about a day before coming out. She must have washed herself well, Mira thought.
"Okay." Lorraine Hill nodded, stepped off the airship, and came to the yard.
She did not enter the house directly, but looked up at the starry sky above her head.
It's May now, the air in the deep mountains is not polluted yet, and the night sky is exceptionally clear. You can see the sloping and faint galaxy, and the stars are densely packed in the sky.
Find a wooden chair and sit down. There are cheerful insects chirping in the grass all around, and occasionally a long and silent bird song comes from the black curtain in the distance.
The breeze gently blew over the surface of the skin, and the white skirt floated slightly and then fell.
The starry sky above our heads is different from what is recorded on the earth.
Lorraine Hill slowly closed her eyes. Why she hadn't discovered that this was not the Earth until now was because this starry sky was different from the star map on Earth.
But now she looked again and found some traces still hidden in it. Although their positions had changed, those dazzling stars still existed.
This is still the Milky Way, but this planet is no longer in the solar system.
What happened in the distant past? After the Mechanical Parliament unified the earth and entered space, what happened to them, so much so that they wanted to move the earth out of the solar system and transfer it to this remote galaxy.
This is a star system called Ivar located at the end of the spiral arm of the Milky Way.
