It's no surprise that Gehrig became a celebrity. \\

But he doesn't seem to like this situation very much. Although he was quite happy at the beginning, now he is frightened by those enthusiastic uncles and aunts. The dirty little garbage man of the past has been transformed. , even put on new clothes brought by the rescue team, and was pushed in front of the public to be tortured by the people. In just half an hour, this guy ran back screaming.

Now we have transferred to a large transport ship bound for Ayutthaya. Due to the malfunction of the transport ship's micro-warp system, the spaceship can only travel to the destination at cruising speed within the atmosphere. The journey takes about an hour, and there are still more than ten minutes to arrive at the station. . The space in the transport ship is much wider than that of a small transport boat like the Fighter class. Due to the use of basic space expansion devices, the Gnaku here is almost as wide as a football field. The victims gathered in several piles in the Gnaku. , whispering about the current situation and lamenting the destruction of their homeland, and of course imagining a new life. The overall atmosphere was much better than we expected.

This may be easy to explain, because in this world, "personal property" is a less important concept. Most production tools are actually collectively owned, and daily necessities must be made from food synthesizers and drinking water synthesizers. All daily necessities such as clothes and medicines are distributed collectively, and all daily necessities such as clothes and medicines come from various synthetic machines, while most of the houses and household items owned by individuals come from ruins and can be found everywhere. In this subtle "communist" state , residents will not react excessively to any degree of loss of their property, and due to the unstable material output of the ruined world, many ordinary people are in a state of migration at any time, and they have to follow their own work scope. Therefore, moving is common. Even in Condenser Town, which has existed stably for decades, there are still many residents moving around. In these two circumstances, the impact of the destruction of their homes will naturally be weakened a lot.

Most of people's feelings of regret only come from the sudden departure from the place where they live, and the regrets caused by not having time to take away many things. These feelings are not overwhelming. Besides the elderly are more likely to be sentimental, many young people are more sentimental about this time. The reaction was not dramatic. So it seems that disaster relief work in this world is much easier than on earth...

The spacecraft arrived safely at its destination more than ten minutes later: a large town that was already prepared to welcome the victims. The transport ship landed on a huge metal platform behind the town and unloaded all the victims and some people responsible for arranging related matters. The service staff then left. We were the last to get off the spacecraft. Sandora used mental interference to make everyone ignore our group of guys who seemed to be incompatible with the surrounding environment. My sister and Lin Xue began to learn more about the surrounding environment.

"It looks as shabby as Condenser Town," Miss Prophet muttered, "That is to say, the area is a bit larger, the shanties are more neatly distributed, and the town is still built along steps - maybe this counts. Are the cities in this world planned? But they are still shantytowns.”

"The location of this place is really clever." Sandora looked at the huge metal platform at our feet. "This should be the barge docking station of an aircraft carrier. They built a town along the terrain outside the aircraft carrier's comprehensive command station. , and then directly used the nearest barge docking station as the town's airport, allowing spacecrafts to take off and land here - if I guessed correctly, this should be a place similar to a logistics transfer station, and should be the hub of material supply for the big city. "

"Watch that big city by the way?"

I glanced at Sandora, who smiled slightly: "It seems that these disaster victims cannot enter the big city, but we have learned enough about ordinary individuals in this world, and now it is time to see how the upper levels are doing."

"I have to remind you," Lin Xue rubbed her forehead and closed her eyes slightly. "Don't play for too long. There will be a disaster waiting for us in the near future."

"Being fully prepared," Sandora crossed her arms. "PL-15 has prepared enough ecological colony ships and assault ships. Once the world collapses, no matter what the cause of the collapse is, we will have enough time and manpower to handle it. The indigenous residents here were rescued. //《》.com《》Novel Network//Of course, it would be better if the cause of the imbalance in the world could be found before that. In any case, this is also one of the best-preserved ancient battlefields in the old empire era. One, there are rare living fossils everywhere.”

I thought about it and felt that there are actually many people here whose history is older than the fossils of this universe. However, considering that age is a taboo for girls, I did not dare to say this. Otherwise, even if Sandora does not take action, Bingdi That violent woman will kill me with a brick...

At this moment, Sandora suddenly frowned, and then withdrew her mental cues from the surroundings. After a while, Glick's voice came from not far away: "Ah! It's here! I'm looking for it. It’s been a long time, and someone’s been looking for you. They’re from the big city, and they should be taking you home!”

Glick seemed to have been looking for us for a long time, but due to Sandora's spiritual suggestion, no one paid attention to the landing platform. As a result, he circled around for a long time until Sandora noticed until. He ran up to us out of breath and pointed at a group of figures in black robes not far away: "They...ahem, they are monks from the big city. They said they were looking for you. I asked them if they would take you." Going home, but they didn’t say anything.”

Sandora and I looked at each other and saw a slight smile in each other's eyes.

Well, it seems that they finally discovered this small group of suspicious elements, which saved us a lot of trouble.

"Let's go and have a look." My sister nodded and walked forward. But as soon as I lifted my feet, I remembered something and turned to look at Glick. "By the way, we may have to leave for a while, so let's stay here first." Don’t live it up, we’ll see you again soon.”

Glick's eyes widened, but he quickly lowered his head and said, "Well, I know... you have to go home after all, and you won't be with us all the time. But these days are really... I’m happy. Together with you, everyone and I have seen a lot of wonderful things! Thank you very much...that...that..."

"Ha, don't worry, that 'spaceship' is yours." I was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Glick wanted to say. This child who has been influenced by his father since he was a child is only interested in one thing. That is the spaceship, "Little captain, you are indeed qualified to own it, and maybe you will have a real spaceship of your own in the future."

Glick suddenly raised his head in surprise: "Really?"

After getting our reconfirmation, the child immediately cheered and shouted long live, and then ran away within a few seconds...

"Uh, by the way, did he forget to say goodbye? Are we saying goodbye to him?" I helped the mercury lamp, which was sitting on my shoulder and was slipping due to drowsiness, feeling a little helpless. As soon as I finished speaking, Glick followed a gust of wind again. He ran back as if: "Ah, by the way, uncle, I forgot to say goodbye. Don't you say goodbye to the others? Grandpa Barnard would like to thank you again. If it weren't for Sister Shandora's reminder, everyone would have said goodbye this time. It’s really dangerous.”

Why is it that Sandora is the older sister, but when it’s my turn, I become the uncle?

"There will be a chance," Sister-sama said with a smile, "But it's better for you to stay with your sister now. Can you rest assured that your nine-year-old child is still with you?"

"It doesn't matter, Shuizhu looks small, but she's actually smarter than me," Glick scratched his hair and smiled, "She just doesn't like to talk. She was the one who led me to find someone to register just now. Then... I Let’s go first.”

After saying goodbye, Glick ran away happily. He didn't know whether to go find his sister or to check whether his "ship" was still there. My sister and I looked at each other and smiled, and in unison we said in unison: "That's really it. A child."

Those figures in black robes were still waiting patiently at the edge of the landing site. They saw it when Glick was talking to us just now, so they must have confirmed our identity. Now they see Glick leaving, among them A man in black robe raised a hand from a distance towards us, indicating that he was waiting for us to pass.

"What a big rack." Mercury Lamp held my head and arched it, still a little sleepy. "Hey, stupid human being, shouldn't you say 'I give you the death penalty' at this time?"

As I walked forward with the mercury lamp on my shoulder, I frowned and asked, "Who did you learn this mess from?"

"TV series! Saeko brings many TV series."

I stumbled on my feet and looked at Zi Changzhi next to me helplessly: "Are you too doting on your child?"

Now I know why the mercury lamp keeps yawning at night. I wonder if there is a guy here who allows children to stay up late?

Saeko looked a little embarrassed and stuck out his tongue: "Uncle Cicaro said that due to the recent market crisis and interruption of the industrial chain, business was not easy to do, so he sold me a lot of... things at a low price. I picked up the interesting ones and gave them to Xiao Shui. a little."

I thought about it and suddenly became furious: "Bullshit market crisis and industrial chain interruption! Wasn't it the case that Lingmeng led the urban management brigade to block more than two hundred lower-level officers in the dormitory last week? That stuff is on the flagship now. , I have to put him in confinement for half a month, this business has been done to the royal family members!"

As we speak, we have already arrived in front of those men in black robes. According to what we have learned these days, the unsmiling people in black robes in front of us should be the ruling class of this world. They are called "monks", but in some cases The monks were also government officials, because the church, which worshiped ancient civilizations, was the governing body of the world.

The ruling system of the ruined world is very strange. It only requires one organization that has the final say to manage all ancient machines and weapons, and other citizens can engage in production. There is no complex economic structure here, and there is no military strategy between countries. There are no political disputes. The world's extreme singleness from resources to production methods to survival means that the world's governing institutions can be incredibly simple. The church to which these monks belong, which is the ruling religion of this world, does not even have a name, because there is only one faith in the world, and at the same time, this faith is also the only political system in the world. As long as we talk about the church, there is no doubt that it is the one before us. Such black-robed monks - of course there are also high-level monks who do not wear black robes - have no hard and fast rules in many aspects, except for their extreme worship of ancient civilizations and the prohibition on exploring the outside world.

"Thank you for everything in the world. It's a pleasure to meet you." Standing at the front among the people in black robes is a tall man with gray hair who is about fifty years old. He has a neat short beard that is clearly taken care of at a glance. , he also seemed very polite when he spoke. He glanced at us, his eyes obviously paused on Mercury Lamp and Yakumo Lan, and then nodded, "I am Senior Monk Yoder."

We still don’t know what these monks’ plans are for finding us, but since they introduced themselves very politely, we also said our names. Of course, it was just our names and we didn’t say a word more. Although we don't have a bad impression of these monks, we also lack some trust. In any case, it seems that Glick's father was indirectly killed by the monks' intercepting firepower. This makes the impression of these people in front of us in our minds. has declined.

"We got the news that when the disaster occurred, it was you who issued the warning in time to save civilians from death and injury." Yoder said straight to the point. He hid his hands in the large black robe, and there was only one piece of clothing on his body. With his face exposed, this attire made him look particularly strict and rigid.

After getting our confirmation, Yoder nodded and said directly what I thought he was going to say in a roundabout way: "So the Dacheng Church is very concerned about a few of you. We investigated your identity, but found that you are not in any population. It is in the record, and you claimed to be from the big city, which is also a lie. In other words, your identity is suspicious. Is my suspicion correct?"

Shandora said "Oh" coldly with an upward tone: "Then what do you plan to do?"

The other party quickly discovered that our identity was abnormal through the population registration. This is actually not surprising in this ruined world. Although many management institutions in this world are almost blank, only the resident population registration is extremely complete. This is too normal. In this world Everything is based on the distribution of survival materials. People have to receive their quota of survival materials from various synthetic factories, and they must also submit their labor records in the same way. This kind of universal rationing is based on absolutely strict population registration. Yes, there are no people in this world without records, because such people don’t even have the possibility of survival. Without personal records, there is no food rationing, no clothes, no medicine, and even no water.

As for us guys, who have no information no matter how much we check, and who have made big noises many times in a row, I am afraid that the big city has long noticed it, including the small gifts we gave to Glick... that is not a secret. , any resident of Condenser Town can ask.

"Don't worry, we don't have any ill intentions, at least not now," Yoder nodded slightly, seeming to strengthen his tone, "but we need to bring a few of them to the big city for questioning. Don't worry, this is not an interrogation or an arrest. , the archbishop was just out of curiosity and personally ordered me to bring you to him."

The monk was very polite and his attitude was much better than we expected. In addition, it was our original plan to go to the big city on the way, so we nodded happily on the spot.

The monk team came over in a transport plane, which was also an antique-level combatant transport plane. However, their aircraft was somewhat different from ordinary goods. At least it looked cleaner and more complete in appearance, and it was painted lavender - this This color may be the "noble color" of this world. I have never seen civilian facilities painted with this color.

The town where the victims were resettled was actually a satellite town of the big city. Just as Sandora guessed, this town had a ready-made spacecraft landing platform and various loading and unloading equipment (all ready-made semi-fixed manipulators on the deck of the giant aircraft carrier below the town). It is a special material transfer hub for Ayutthaya. The transport plane passed by in the lowest speed cruising mode, and the journey was only ten minutes. Soon, we came to the absolute center of the entire world, a special existence among the special: Ayutthaya.

Although we have seen the entire appearance of the great city from the information transmitted back from the probe, we still couldn't help but feel surprised when we actually flew over it.

This is a huge city that can be called a super city in the normal world. The place where it is located is very strange: it is a huge circular pit with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, which is larger than that on this ruined planet. The size of any battleship wreckage. Surrounding this crater is the same metallic earth as the rest of the entire planet, made up of countless battleship debris. However, from the edge of the crater, there is a layer of metal that is so smooth that it is almost mirror-like. The alloy wall is like a whole armor plate. The shape of the entire pit looks like a standard perfect round bowl. The city with the same perfect circular plan is in the center of this bowl. The radius of the city is about the radius of the pit. About three-quarters of the pit, looking at the strange terrain where the big city is located, especially the smooth mirror-like alloy paraboloid on the wall of the big pit, I maliciously speculated more than once - how would the people inside climb up if there was no transportation? ah?

The huge bowl-like round pit where the big city is located caught the attention of Shandora and I two days ago. Looking at the picture transmitted back by the probe, Shandora made a guess. She felt that this was After the ruined planet was formed, there were traces left by some kind of high-power weapon bombarding the planet. This can explain why such a regular circular pit appeared on the metal earth where countless jagged battleship wreckage piled up, and this pit There are obvious traces of molten metal on the inner wall of the pit, but Sandora herself admitted that this does not make sense in normal tactics——

"When the ruined planet was formed, all the spacecraft on it had already disintegrated and crashed. There is no point in attacking a pile of battlefield debris. It is a waste of energy."

That's it. We can't explain why a certain warship commander who fought in this universe hundreds of thousands of years ago decided to shoot at a pile of battlefield debris. Whipping corpses is not the style of Xiling Apostle.

Anyway, after being puzzled for a long time, we had to temporarily guess that the shot was done by Viska, because she was the only one who could make such a convulsive move on the battlefield.
