Chapter 960 The Road Ahead for the Ark
Hao Ren finally found Willy and Bachelor Oro in a hotel in the royal city: they were illegitimate sons of nobles and a down-and-out bachelor from a remote city-state, so naturally they were not qualified to stay in the king's castle. Willy was shocked when he saw Hao Ren and his party again, especially when he saw Vivian. The startled young man jumped up from his chair: "Ice Witch!"
"You call me that too," Vivian smiled. "Everyone in the city is frightened by me."
"You are the ice witch." Willy subconsciously shrank his neck and carefully looked around: this is a cheap room in a hotel, with only a simple, thin shack board connecting the room and the corridor outside. Separated, he always felt that there were countless people outside listening to what was going on here, because he knew that he was talking to the ice witch. Maybe the king's knights were already guarding the door, "I told you when we first met, but you You didn't admit it at the time...and you didn't say there was a fire witch in the world."
Lily scratched her hair and said with a puzzled face: "Actually, I just wanted to show off..."
"Are you still afraid of the ice witch now?" Hao Ren asked Willy with a smile, "Look, we do have the ability to plunge the world into winter - we have completely repaired the Ancestral Furnace this time, and of course we can also completely destroy it in reverse. Drop it."
"Afraid," Willy admitted honestly. Perhaps his greatest courage was to admit that he had no courage. "But I don't think the ice witch is a bad person. To be honest, I always thought that the ice witch wanted to bring the world into winter. Devil, my grandmother said that on the first night of winter, the ice witch will appear from the end of the world in a frozen iron chariot, blowing cold wind into the ancestral furnace, completely freezing the heart of the world - but you and The ice witches worked together to fix it. It seems that the legends are not all true."
"Yes, not all legends are true. Human beings do not grasp the truth. Human beings only grasp the motivation to pursue the truth." Hao Ren patted Willy on the shoulder, then reached out and took out some photo papers from his arms and handed them to The young man said, "We're getting out of here, these are gifts for you."
"This is..." Willy took the pieces of paper in confusion. He had never seen such exquisite cardboard: crisp, smooth, no musty smell, and brightly colored, with incredibly beautiful pictures on it, it was like Like magic, "What are these?"
"Is it beautiful?"
"Beautiful...?" Willy's tone ended with uncertainty, "It's indeed beautiful, but I don't understand what it is."
"Forests, oceans, open skies, and stars," Hao Ren pointed to the picture on the photo paper, "This is what your ancestors left behind... I found it in the library, and I printed it out. What's on it is yours The appearance of the world I once lived in. I have met many people in this ark, but unfortunately you are the only one who is still interested in these things, so I give these things to you."
Willy quickly pushed back the jammed papers: "I can't accept such precious things..."
"It's enough to know that these things are precious," Hao Ren smiled and waved his hand, "I came here to say goodbye to you and give you something. Now that the business here is over, it's time for us to go back. Nolan, prepare to teleport. "
Willy subconsciously took a step forward, but a white light that appeared out of thin air blocked him. Hao Ren stood behind the white light and looked at the stunned old man Oro next to him: "Bachelor, go back and tell the father of this child that it is Willy. The witch of ice and fire brought the witch of ice and fire to the Forge of the Forefathers. Willy's name has been engraved deep in the Forge of the Forefathers. Even if he is the governor of the castle for a lifetime, his achievements will not be as good as a toe of his bastard son."
Maester Oro smiled and bent slightly: "I will ask the king to write a letter in person to inform the governor of this matter. This letter will be stamped with the royal seal and placed in the treasure house of Hearth City forever."
This old man is also wilted and bad!
The teleportation beam flashed away, and the next moment, Hao Ren and the others were back on the bridge of the Giant Turtle Yantai.
Elizabeth jumped down from her chair and happily welcomed Hao Ren, while complaining about how boring she was while waiting on the spaceship. Nolan's holographic image floated directly over from not far away: "The situation of the Ark has been figured out."
Hao Ren pressed the little devil's head to calm the little girl down, and turned to look at the image above the console.
In the vast space, the Ark fleet had been completely eroded and transformed by the drone swarm. He saw that the huge ellipsoid-shaped colony ships were covered with dots of silver light, and the heavy black armor on the front of the spacecraft had been stripped away, revealing There are complex and old circuit systems and mechanical structures inside, and a series of newly installed control devices on the engineering drone shine brightly in those ancient systems, like mercury in a dark slit. Until now, there are still groups of drones wandering among the Arks, and those drones are checking the control sensitivity of each Ark and the fusion status of the "penetration core" with the latter.
Although the drone swarm was Hao Ren's own unit, this scene still made him feel a little numb:
It's like a swarm of termites eating away at a sluggish beast.
"I have cracked the navigation systems of these arks, but found that they have no clear destination at all, so I simply turned off the original navigation of the arks and let the drone swarm completely replace the 'nerve lines' of these spacecrafts with penetration cores ," Nolan said next to him, "In addition, I also performed some emergency repairs on the hyperlight engines of several of the ships. Now they are in a state of acceleration at any time. You can go wherever you want them to go - but it is best. Don't worry too much, these old machines can no longer withstand several accelerations and decelerations."
"These ships need to dock quickly and undergo thorough repairs," the data terminal added. "Currently, we have discovered several habitable planets in the Dream Plane. Partner, where do you think it is appropriate to send them?"
As the terminal spoke, he listed all the dream plane ecological planets registered so far, and Hao Ren began to carefully choose from them. He first shook his head and ruled out Tanagus: "The atmosphere of Tanagus is poisonous to the residents of the Ark, and that planet is currently inhabited by Drom people, and Tanagus will move back in the future... This is messy enough, no.”
Elizabeth yelled: "Holleta has a good ecological environment..."
"Don't make trouble, that place is owned by an owner," Hao Ren waved his hand, "It's not our family's territory. And to be honest, these residents in the Ark have degenerated for too long and are now barbaric. At least they will not be able to do so in a few generations." Suitable for contact with any alien civilization."
As he spoke, he smacked his lips with regret: "To be honest, if it weren't for the war, there would have been many ecological planets at the Suluen Gate. That place was the chief experimental field of the Creation Goddess. It was such a lively place back then. "
"But now there are only a lot of ruined planets that have been burnt to coke, and the atmosphere is full of poison." Nolan also felt a little emotional, and then his expression straightened, "If you just want to find a place to stop, in fact, Io Can."
"Io?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows, "There is no land there."
"These arks don't need land," Nolan said as he switched the holographic projection above the console. "When I dismantled these spaceships, I found some interesting structures... They seemed to be considered from the beginning of their design. By landing on the ocean, the spacecraft's ecosystem also has a specialized water filtering function, and when landing on a planet with abundant water resources, the life support system will be restored faster."
Hao Ren immediately started studying it with great interest, but now his knowledge in this area was not as good as Nolan's. After looking at it dizzy, he could only roughly tell that the shells of these arks seemed to have the ability to deform.
The designers of these ships thought from the beginning that their descendants would try to take root on various planets. They did their best to use relatively primitive technology to create a series of engineering miracles. Now 10,000 years have passed. , these most basic settings are still intact!
"But Io is the Siren Star," Hao Ren still frowned after the initial excitement passed, "and even if the Ark can land on the ocean, it cannot float on the sea forever - without land resources, the Ark Humans in it are no different than being trapped in space."
"Let's consider this later," Lily waved her hands carelessly after hearing this. "The most important thing for these arks now is to find a place to take a breath. You can let them stop in Io for a while and wait for the pieces to be collected." After everything is repaired, you should find a new planet, and then move them there. If that doesn't work, go to the Siren Queen and ask the Ark people to sign an eight-hundred-year lease agreement with the Sirens. Anyway, you are good at what you do. It’s just pimping…”
Hao Ren immediately glared at the husky who spoke so freely, and Lily quickly shrank her neck: "Um, I mean the real estate agency..."
