Chapter 327 Confession
The crashed spaceship in the Dream Plane had been lying at the bottom of the Blood Lake for several months, and more than a month had passed since Hao Ren issued the recruitment notice. Only now did the owner of the spaceship finally show up. It turned out that they were not from a certain civilization. force, but a pioneering business group - this kind of organization does not belong to the official force, and usually lives in nooks and crannies where transportation and information are inconvenient. Of course, the response is a bit slow.
Hao Ren took this opportunity to inquire about the pioneering business group, and found out that this was a phenomenon unique to the interstellar development stage.
The universe is vast and there are many stars. With sufficient scientific and technological support, the colonization options and various opportunities faced by a race that steps into the starry sky are staggering - although such opportunities are also accompanied by risks, for some For the brave pioneers who pursue these opportunities, risk need not be a concern. The pioneer business group is such a group of people. They often come from different races and even different civilization circles. They were formerly merchants, mercenaries, exiled politicians, and even pirates. They have their own huge financial resources and influence, and they have the ability to travel in this endless vast world. Establish your own kingdom in the universe. Some races support their members in this kind of pioneering, and they will form a civilized form like a city-state union. Some more conservative races make private pioneering illegal - but regardless of the system, interstellar pioneering has never stopped, and It will inevitably spread throughout the universe. The extreme vastness and emptiness of the universe made it difficult for ordinary civilization circles to completely restrict this kind of pioneering behavior, so colonial planets established by pioneer groups developed in the gaps between major civilization circles. These colonial stars may initially be just transit stations for pirates or merchants, but when they develop to a certain scale, they will be able to enter the interstellar stage on their own and become active as small kingdoms. After being recognized by a certain civilization circle, , these small kingdoms, which usually only have single-digit colonial stars, have also gained legal interstellar status.
Under normal circumstances, such small kingdoms are not very large. They have their own tricks to survive in the cracks of behemoths like the "civilization circle". Even though their social forms, ways of living, and development processes are very different, the major civilization circles have For convenience or unification, this small kingdom is called "Lingbang" (free translation).
And since half of the pioneering groups are merchants or at least call themselves merchants, the pioneering groups that establish a territorial state, whether they are caravans, pirates or mercenaries, are collectively referred to as "pioneering merchant groups" among civilization circles.
An organization calling itself the "United Kingdom of Kabala" has just claimed the crashed spaceship that Hao Ren announced before. This organization is a federation composed of more than a dozen pioneer business groups. This type of federation is very common among pioneer business groups. . Most of the members of this organization are pioneers from the Campbell Civilization Circle - the Campbell Civilization Circle is a young civilization that is extremely keen on interstellar exploration. They officially support any interstellar pioneering behavior that does not violate the imperial code. Therefore, the desolate star areas around it There are many small kingdoms in the territory that are in full swing of construction. Now this civilization circle has confirmed the legitimacy of the "United Kingdom of Kabbalah" through official channels and sent a series of certification documents to help prove the latter's ownership of the crashed spacecraft.
Hao Ren can just wait to go to Kuiper Station tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to meet with the representatives of the little green men.
After Yzaks came back, Hao Ren told everyone about the incident. Everyone (except for Betsy who was confused and Doudou who only knew how to gnaw with chopsticks) was very happy. After this unresolved case was solved, everyone felt happy. A stone fell to the ground. Yzaks thought more deeply: "You still have to think about how to transport the ship out of the dream plane, right? Isn't the 'Wall of Reality' very unstable?"
"I have discussed with the terminal and there is a very feasible process," Hao Ren nodded. "First of all, the spaceship is a dead object and will not cause much harm when passing through the wall of reality. Secondly, this is to remove the spaceship from The impact of the whole process of transporting the Dream Plane to the real world will not be great. The only problem is to allow the ship owners and their engineering team to enter the Dream Plane and lift the entire spacecraft from the bottom of the lake without disturbing the local indigenous people.' Pry 'em out."
"This aircraft has applied for a large-scale conversion device. This device will arrive in a few days and can be installed at the Kuiper Station. There are many unused work cabins there. With those devices, it is possible to use the 'dream' method to convert an entire The engineering team has been teleported to the Dream Plane. This kind of teleportation is very safe. The construction machinery was brought in using Hao Ren's personal space." The data terminal added next to it, "The landing point should be near the Blood Lake after getting there, no. I know if the search work of the local people in the Blood Lake is still going on, and I can adapt to the situation when the time comes. Anyway, there are high technologies. At the worst, I can create a big explosion nearby to attract the local garrison, as long as the engineering team can sneak into the bottom of the lake. This reporter has learned about the technical level of the Kabbalah United Kingdom, and their own engineering team is sufficient to handle this kind of construction."
Hao Ren nodded: "I have also made arrangements for other details."
"That's good," Yzaks smiled and touched his shiny bald head, "You don't have to worry about me if you have a plan. But what's wrong with Lily?"
Lily put the back of the chair forward, lying on the back in an awkward position and listening to others talking. Behind her body was a tail stick that was like a chicken leg (see how apt this description is!), but it was obvious that this girl She was in a good mood, and the bright prospect that her tail could be restored to its original state even made her not feel uncomfortable with the gauze behind her: "Don't worry, I'm doing beauty treatments."
Hao Ren sighed: "This is the first time I've heard of someone doing beauty treatments on their butt and butt..."
When Lily heard this, she screamed and rushed towards him with claws and teeth.
But the fight only lasted for less than a few seconds before it was interrupted: Betsy listened silently for a long time and suddenly realized: "That's right! Can I go home at this time?"
Hao Ren was raising his fists to desperately resist Lily's steel teeth. Hearing Betsy's words, his whole body froze on the spot. Before Lily could react, she bit him on the arm - the rigid shield was completely destroyed at the scene. After being aroused, she heard a crisp sound of "ding--" from the sound of gold and iron. Lily covered her mouth and left Hao Ren's arm with tears in her eyes: "You bastard... why don't you avoid it seriously!"
"Ahem..." Hao Ren tried to make his expression more natural, and he was thinking hard about trying to fool Betsy, but he had realized that this problem could not be postponed for such a long time - Betsy was not stupid, she was just She stayed on earth for so many days with the mentality of traveling around because of her strong curiosity. Now it seems that it is impossible for her to completely forget about going home. Repeatedly avoiding this question will only make her suspicious quickly.
Some things have to be said sooner or later. Hao Ren felt that the long-term pain was worse than the short-term pain. Finally he sighed: "Becky... I want to tell you something. You... you drink some water first."
Betsy took the water glass from Vivian without knowing why, and then Hao Ren tapped on the data terminal again: "Play some soothing music."
Finally, he took out another Buddhist scripture and handed it to Becky: "Read two more pages of the Buddhist scripture to calm down and calm down. It would be better if you could sit on the ground and realize that the four elements are empty..."
Betsy couldn't help it anymore: "What on earth do you want to say?"
Hao Ren spread his hands: "Actually, you can't go back - strictly speaking, you can only go back for a short time, but you can't stay in the dream plane for a long time. You, like us, have become completely Earthling……"
The water glass in Betsy's hand almost fell to the ground. She asked blankly: "What... does this mean?"
Hao Ren then told the other party the whole thing, and finally explained the fragile connection between the dream plane and the real world, as well as the serious consequences of forcing a real-world creature to be placed in the dream plane for a long time. .
After hearing this, Betsy remained motionless for a long time, with the expression on her face changing, making it difficult to figure out what she was feeling. Hao Ren confirmed that the girl was not going to attack anyone for the time being, and then he cautiously said: "Actually, you can be more open-minded - you can still go home, but the time you go home will be shorter each time. You Just think of moving from the dream plane to the earth, except that it is a forced move..."
Betsy waved her hand to interrupt Hao Ren: "It doesn't matter, I understand... I just want to be quiet now, and don't ask me who Jingjing is."
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief and could still talk, which meant that the problem was not serious.
