Great time travel

Chapter 87. The time travel is over, but the mutation is not over yet

As expected, regarding the elusive "main god system", the goddess of the underworld, Handy, has not researched anything useful, and she can't even directly perceive its existence. Apart from those things that Wang Qiu already knows, only I can feel the mutation of the "door" itself.

But such brief information has no practical significance. Since the two worlds were connected, a group of experts from relevant departments...or maybe "bricks" have studied this time-space gate standing in Victoria Bay countless times. But apart from scanning out N three-dimensional models, and making a superficial imitation space-time gate, and placing it in the Window of the World theme park in Shenzhen, there is no further progress.

Therefore, after both sides have truthfully stated their findings, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that both sides seem to have nothing to do with the "Lord God".

As a result, both Goddess Handy, Wang Qiu, Wang Meiling and the others couldn't help feeling a bit less interested... So, according to the previous redemption agreement reached with Goddess Handy, Wang Qiu ordered the release of the dragon who had been cut into a stick The female apostle Giselle then watched her. In just two hours, Qi Gen's lost limbs recovered as before, and then, under the scolding of the goddess Handy, she spread her wings and flew away far away.

"...Thank you very much for forgiving my apostle of the sub-god. The grimoire and the Philosopher's Stone will be delivered within a month as a ransom."

Looking at the dragon girl Giselle who disappeared into the sky, the goddess Handy who was possessed by the blue-haired girl magician Lelei smiled and said, "...As for her severed limbs, you can do whatever you want. Alright , this is my farewell, see you next time!"

The next moment, the goddess Handy, who had completed the task, quietly separated from the blue-haired girl magician Lelai, and disappeared without a trace.As for the real body of the blue-haired girl magician Lelai, she was also exhausted by this simple and rude surrender, and immediately collapsed limply on the ground, fainting...

But Wang Qiu sighed, and according to the original plan, escorted the two young dragons and the severed limbs, and then brought Loli Mercury, who was full of curiosity about the earth, and then traveled through the rabbit-eared mother. Watched by readers Di Ya and Cai Rong, they returned to Hong Kong opposite the "gate"...

Sure enough, the hands, feet and wings that were cut off from the sub-god apostle Giselle did not research anything special, which could prove the difference between sub-gods and mortals.As for the two young dragons, they didn't cause any trouble - they were given a large amount of sleeping pills before they set off, and they were transported to the research institute before they woke up.As for whether there will be any troubles in the future... this is not what Wang Qiu needs to care about.

With the basic resolution of the South China Sea crisis and the gradual relaxation of military control, Hong Kong's market has become more prosperous and lively.Although it still can’t catch up with before the South China Sea crisis broke out, and it can’t even compare with Hong Kong’s heyday when it was the “Pearl of the Orient”, but it’s still better than the lifeless and stagnant pool during the military control period—at least the plunge in real estate prices has stopped. There are also very few people who commit suicide by jumping off buildings and seas every day.

Moreover, the long-term tense atmosphere of the armed confrontation between the Chinese and American fleets in the South China Sea, frequent shootings, and rumors of the imminent outbreak of the Third World War have also brought a lot of tension to the developed countries in the world. A by-product, whether good or bad, was a massive boost to consumption—just as the fear of nuclear war and annihilation fueled the rise of American hippie culture during the Cold War.Some time ago, the rumors of World War II and the psychological stimulation of repeated military conflicts also caused many Hong Kong citizens to give up on themselves and have the idea of ​​being drunk today.

Therefore, they no longer continue to live frugally, but use their savings to enjoy entertainment, lest they wait until everyone dies and the money has not been spent, which also accelerates the recovery of Hong Kong's economy to a certain extent: Although, this is actually Overdrafting the future of this city...

Sitting on a wooden bench in the seaside park, looking at the brightly lit night view of Victoria Bay in the dusk, Wang Qiu couldn't help but sigh for a while.

"...I heard that the domestic economic situation has been very bad recently, and there have been many major problems in employment and prices. Is that true?" He chatted with Political Commissar Guo sitting beside him while drinking beer. "...When I was working hard in another world, I seemed to miss a lot of things!"

"...Yes! In the turbulent and thrilling six months, the U.S.-Soviet-Cuban missile incident that year can only be regarded as a child's play. Internationally, the situation is changing, and the country is full of rumors. Surprised every day. The national evacuation exercise was held one after another. From the south to the north, all industries were in decline. Well, in addition to the moral decline, the demons danced wildly, almost all the things that broke through the lower limit were exposed, and there were all kinds of unimaginable things The strange talk... Until now, all kinds of marches, protests, and rallies have continued one after another..."

Political Commissar Guo reached out and "snapped" the lighter, lit the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a smoke ring, "...I now understand how the hippies in the Cold War came to be ——I was frightened out of nuclear war and nuclear winter at all!!"

"...However, all these crises and turmoil are over now, aren't they?" Wang Qiu said comfortingly.

"...Yeah, it's calmed down again for the time being, otherwise we wouldn't be able to sit here quietly and watch the night scene."

Political Commissar Guo sighed, "...China has not fallen, and the U.S. imperialism will not be finished. There will definitely be no more fighting within three to five years. As for what the future world will be like in three to five years, it is really up to you." Only God knows. It may be breaking free from the shackles of gravity and rushing towards the sea of ​​stars. It may also be a world war that destroys civilization... Anyway, it is Wang Xiaoer's new year, just making do with it, and sewing for another year... "

Having said that, he shook his head, did not continue to expand on this aspect, but changed the subject, "...By the way, the first batch of foreign experts from the United Nations is expected to arrive in Hong Kong next week. Researchers from other worlds are cooperating. Please pay attention to the security work in this area. Then, there is one more thing that needs to be explained to you-in view of the appearance of the goddess of the underworld, this unexpected situation, although A cooperation agreement has been reached, but the attitude of the central government is to suspend the operation of the main god system and extend the opening time of the time-space gate to prevent any accidents."

"...In other words, the central government doesn't trust Handy at all, and would rather postpone the shutdown of the main god system? Well, but it's actually true to think so."

Wang Qiu nodded, "...However, in fact, we have no way to accurately grasp the extent of changes in the plot of the original book and the speed of accumulating points. At most, it is to stop some big actions in a different world, but Butterfly The effect can't be controlled at all...is this possible?"

"...It's almost like this, and the superiors won't force others. In short, there is no need to rush to shut down the main god system, and don't rush to fish out the remaining two female traversers. There is a broken main god system to play a restraining role. , it's better than leaving the back road to that goddess Handy..."

Commissar Guo exhaled smoke rings and smiled wryly, "...that goddess sometimes seems very stable and rational, but sometimes she behaves frivolously and evasively. Although we have reached an agreement with us now, in case If she has a convulsion out of nowhere, it will be a disaster for us..."

However, neither of the two chatting could immediately notice that at the end of the distant night sky, a flash of fire was passing...

Whether it was a trick of fate or a prank by the main god system, in short, a huge alien spacecraft suddenly appeared in the orbit of the earth without any warning, and without any deceleration, it directly plunged into the earth's atmosphere—— Although relying on the high technology of the alien spaceship, it managed to withstand the huge heat generated by the friction between the outer armor and the atmosphere, but the exterior of the hull still burned red instantly, emitting a fiery light.

Therefore, all countries in the world that have the ability to use radar to monitor space orbits have discovered this alien spacecraft in the first time, and many countries and private individuals that do not have the above-mentioned capabilities have also observed obvious trajectories with telescopes. It immediately caused an uproar in the global media.

Then, before the supercomputers of the astronomical departments of various countries calculated the trajectory and location of the spacecraft’s fall, the alien spacecraft that appeared in an instant pierced the sky in the twilight and crashed into Lingdingyang outside the Pearl River Estuary. Hong Kong, Strong shocks were felt in the urban areas of Macau and Shenzhen. The huge shock waves and sonic booms instantly shattered countless glass windows, causing more than 20 ships to capsize and causing at least three-digit deaths...

At the same time, the first group of desperate paparazzi reporters rushed to the waters where the incident happened in various small boats before the relevant departments began to control and control them. Quickly put it on the Internet:

A gigantic steel beast with a length of more than a thousand meters is lying crookedly on the yellow and turbid water surface of the Pearl River Estuary.Its majestic and huge hull is enough to make the largest 300-ton Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States feel ashamed.Although the appearance of the spaceship is somewhat dilapidated, the [-]-meter-high hull lying on the surface of the Lingding Ocean, which is only over ten meters deep, is still shocking like a skyscraper in the water.

What's more, after the initial shock, some ashes-level otaku on the Internet also found that the giant spaceship that landed at the mouth of the Pearl River today looks a bit familiar... It reminded them of an old movie. The classic Japanese space sci-fi cartoon that is about to be forgotten...

As a result, on Internet forums all over the world, there was an uproar against Yingtian soon:

"...this...this...this is not the alien spaceship Macross (Macross, German' Big universe' means) number? The appearance is almost exactly the same!"

"...Really? I searched a few pictures for comparison... Oh my god! It's really very similar to the original version of the Macross!"

"...God! The Macross has arrived, is the Zentraedi's invasion fleet still far away? What should the earth do?"

"...What should we do? Of course, hold a girl singer audition as soon as possible, and let the world's number one girl singer use her singing to influence aliens!"

"... I am looking for the live-action version of the first-generation Galaxy singer Lin Mingmei. Is the voice actor of Lin Mingmei still alive?"

"...Even if she is still alive, she is already an old lady who can't sing. It's better to synthesize a virtual idol Lin Mingmei!"

"... Lin Mingmei is too old, isn't it? It should be replaced by the Galaxy singers of the next few generations, and save the world with love!"

"...Wait, is the Macross that has arrived on Earth really an abandoned unmanned ship like in the cartoon? Maybe there are already a group of heavily armed Zentraedi inside who are sharpening their knives, preparing to Open the hatch and come out to invade the earth!"

"...God, it looks like I have to stock up on cans! Well, there's still mineral water and gasoline!"

"...The one upstairs has to act quickly, the small supermarket next door to my house is almost sold out!"

"...Haha! If that's the case, the greedy Chinese will be the first to suffer. It's really gratifying..."

"...Unfortunately, this spacecraft seems to be really an unmanned ship. I am in Hong Kong now, and the Chinese government has not issued an evacuation notice. It can be seen that the Chinese have made a lot of money this time... This kind of sky It’s such a good thing, why can’t it be my motherland? Ah, I just received an emergency notice that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is about to shut down again. Next time I have a chance, I’ll upload the first-hand information I’ve collected…”

"...Upstairs, what falls from the sky is not necessarily a pie, it is more likely to be a bomb!"

"...The South Korean government has just issued a statement declaring that this space battleship is the common property of all mankind and should not be monopolized by China. The squinting-eyed Secretary-General of the United Nations, who is Korean, has now set off for Hong Kong to negotiate... But it is estimated that it will touch the nose."

"...I hope that there will be a tour program for the alien spaceship Macross in Hong Kong in the future, just like watching the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor"

……

All in all, with the crash of the Macross spacecraft at the mouth of the Pearl River, Hong Kong, which had just been a little calm, once again became the focus of the world's media and political leaders, and was pushed back to the forefront.The espionage storm that had just died down has also revived in Hong Kong.

However, all these disturbances have nothing to do with Wang Qiu for the time being.Because, as soon as the Macross fell, he was quickly kicked back to the different world opposite the "door" by the relevant department, lest because of him, the unlucky guy who was cursed by the "main god system", he would make trouble on the earth again. What's the next big news—several leaders of the central government have had a heart attack after being frightened alive...

PS: Some readers complained that in "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", the Galactic Empire that still implements the aristocratic enfeoffment system in the cosmic era is very unscientific.But in fact, it is very possible.Because according to the setting of "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes", super-light communication has not been popularized, and the cost and time of inter-galaxy transportation are also very troublesome. The higher-level leaders of the stars, the cost of large-scale trade across the galaxy is too high, and only a small amount of luxury goods can be transported, similar to the camel caravan on the Silk Road.In this case, a giant political system that spans galaxies will be as loose as the British Empire, and the central government can only delegate a high degree of power to the localities.If the central government is a monarchy, the locality will become like the Holy Roman Empire, a product of a mixture of autonomous planets (free cities), noble territories and royal territories.As for whether there will be a monarchy in the future, this is actually the paranoia of modern people. From the perspective of big history, how did the Roman Republic become an empire?How did the democratic city-states of ancient Greece become monarchies?When technical conditions cannot support a democratic system, returning to the monarchy is a normal choice.

Under the circumstances that the central government cannot directly manage the local area, whoever has the most powerful space fleet (cross-galaxy mobile field army) is the undoubted galactic overlord, who can tour various galaxies and order civilized planets to pay tribute.Once the actual control of the fleet changes hands, it is time for the throne to change.

If democracy must be practiced in the age of the universe, the result will either be a small country with few people (at most one country in a star system), or it will refer to the ancient Roman Republic or the early American representative system - when the United States was founded, even the telegraph If not, how was the first president elected?However, if the manors of American slave owners are enlarged to planets, what is the difference between them and the hereditary territories of nobles?There are also some other flaws in "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", which can also be explained by reasons such as corruption, fraudulent accounting, fraudulent funds, and bureaucratic style. The various levels of fraud and corruption in the cosmic age must be our modern It is beyond the reach of people, for example, it is possible to directly erase several planets from the star map and classify them as private property.

Of course, no science fiction novel is truly perfect, but it is not advisable to study the rationality too closely. After all, reality is more magical than fiction!
