Chapter 709 I'm Back
On the big screen, the clouds released by the two sides' spacecraft were getting closer and closer, and everyone had mixed emotions.
They all thought that the civilization on Lu Yuan's side was a very potential reinforcement, but they didn't want the other side to do too well - especially in several white-ruled cities such as Newyue City and Xini City, the emotions were even more complicated. It was okay for brothers to drive a Land Rover, but they couldn't drive a Rolls-Royce, right?
Finally, New York City leader Mok Hochul said again: "Everyone, I have a few important points to emphasize in advance."
"Our Human Alliance has been established for more than 60 years. We have formed our own economy and system. Self-reliance and independence are cultures rooted in our genes! Therefore, our people will never accept us joining other civilizations!"
"Lu Yuan is indeed indebted to us, but the 18th human civilization is only an uncertain potential ally. We must understand the difference between the two sides and not reveal all the secrets."
"Of course, the other party has sent a diplomatic team, and we must receive them with the highest etiquette!"
"They were teleported here through the space tunnel, so they must have made friends with a more powerful civilization. Through this relationship, we may be able to see a wider world. If that doesn't work, one more friend means one more way out."
The other leaders discussed this: "We know this, of course. Diplomacy is no small matter. Even when dealing with a weaker civilization, shouldn't we still treat it with courtesy?"
"However, what should we do with the remains of civilization around us?"
"This is a relic that is at the pinnacle of the third-level civilization, and even touches the threshold of the fourth-level civilization."
Li Chunhong couldn't help but say, "They came all the way here, could it be that they just wanted to rob the relics and property? We should display what should be displayed and keep what should be kept secret. Maybe they are just visiting relatives."
"We should have more confidence! It's not easy to get to this point."
Another military leader sighed: "In the final analysis, we are now outclassed by our competitors. We no longer have the confidence we had before when we were just starting out..."
"Yeah." Everyone sighed.
As they were talking, the spacecraft of both sides gradually approached each other, like two clouds merging into each other.
The time to meet each other is coming soon!
Li Chunhong suppressed his nervousness and returned to the cabin area from the captain's room.
Lu Yuan's relatives are waiting here.
As time goes by, their appearance has not changed much, but the passing of time still makes their faces show that subtle sense of vicissitudes.
Lu Qingqing suddenly felt a lump in her throat and tears flowed from her eyes. She quickly wiped her eyes and went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.
The memory of my brother is like an old photo, stained with a layer of yellow tea color, and no one has looked at it for a long time.
But now, recalling the past and childhood memories always makes people sigh at the impermanence of life.
This is especially true for parents.
The mother seemed very strong at first, but gradually she could no longer suppress her emotions. She lowered her head and sobbed softly: "I thought... I thought I would never see him again!"
"Now he reappears..."
"I will never let him go on a blind date again!"
The two parties parted on an ordinary day. After making breakfast, she went to work as usual and reminded her son not to forget the blind date in the evening.
It was really just an ordinary day. Even on the way to work, I sighed, "The weather is so nice today. My son will definitely get married soon."
But on this ordinary day, someone got lost in yesterday and disappeared never to be seen again.
I woke up from a dream by chance and thought it was a nightmare.
Looking at the empty room, I realized what really existed.
Her father patted her on the back and comforted her: "It has nothing to do with the blind date... It was his own fate. He wandered to the Pangu Continent alone. Now he is back, and everything is over."
"Mom, he doesn't need a blind date, he's already married, and he's the son-in-law of Greenfield Civilization." Lu Qingqing came out of the bathroom and heard their conversation. She was angry and amused, "He's in such a high position, don't you see how nervous everyone is?"
Lu Yuan's father was a serious middle-aged man, just like a high school dean. Both his face and tone fit the stereotype: "You'd better keep your mouth shut about this whole civilized thing."
"Oh." Lu Qingqing shut up obediently.
My father still felt that he hadn’t said enough: “Since your brother has been married for a long time, it’s your turn now. You are already so old and still call yourself a girl. In the Earth era, you would be a grandmother at this age.”
"The boy I found for you last time is very good. Why don't you go meet him and have a meal with him?"
Lu Qingqing said aggrievedly: "Okay, I'm not worthy of being a girl at my age, I have to be a grandmother, but the boy you are looking for is about the same age as me, why is he called a boy?"
"Besides, times have changed. Don't you know that the longer life expectancy is, the lower the birth rate is? Why do you have to be tied together for thousands of years? Are you trying to have a political marriage?"
The old father was choked by her tone and felt a little embarrassed.
Old leader Li Chunhong quickly came to the rescue: "Okay, let's not talk about these insignificant issues like fertility rate. Even the government is not in a hurry."
"Everyone wait patiently for Lu Yuan to board our spaceship!"
He turned around and said to Lu Qingqing's father, "Alas, Old Lu, young people today think differently from us. Times are changing too fast, productivity and life expectancy are undergoing qualitative changes, and it is normal to be confused about the future."
The spaceships of both sides were getting closer and closer, and the white fog dissipated!
At this moment, the soldiers guarding the windows all looked moved. What a beautiful big spaceship!
The overall shape is like flowing water, shining silver, and the plasma engine emits blue flames.
It is 200 meters long and doesn't look too big, but the skin is really beautiful, like a combination of glass and metal. I don't know what material it is made of.
A military expert was the first to express surprise: "The radar can't even show the reflected waves from this spacecraft!"
"This means that the design and skin of the spacecraft have a very sophisticated stealth mechanism."
"The noise of the other spacecraft is 93 decibels, which is only slightly higher than a car engine..." Another professor licked his dry lips.
What is the concept?
This large spacecraft is not a fighter jet, and its mass must be at least tens of thousands of tons.
Having to fly fast and keep noise low is a big contradiction in itself.
Experts and scholars from other cities also began to discuss this. This move alone demonstrated a very high level of technical skills, completely surpassing their Human Alliance!
"Don't be discouraged. We have also been developing rapidly in recent decades."
"Weixin Technology has too many research directions, so it's normal for them to surpass us in some areas. But we definitely have some areas where we surpass them. As long as we have unique technology, we can stand out among civilizations!"
“That’s right!”
The Human Alliance has indeed developed a unique technology based on [Frost Mist] - [Freezing Laser]!
Traditional lasers suffer from great energy loss due to interference from the atmosphere, and even if they hit the target, they will have little power at a distance of hundreds of kilometers.
But [Cryolaser] is different. It has good penetration and high power, and it is definitely a unique technology.
In addition, their overall strength has naturally made great progress.
As the two sides approached, Li Chunhong and other leaders all became a little nervous: "The enemy's spacecraft has entered the coverage area of our concealment glyphs."
"Notify them now and follow us back to the city."
"clear!"
…
Just like that, the flying fortress carried the "Green Knight" slowly into the settlement area.
The flight altitude began to decrease, and the two spacecraft finally stopped on a flat concrete ground.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and watched the door of the spaceship slowly open. The sunlight shone in obliquely, and for a moment he felt a subtle sense of trance.
He saw a red banner that read "Warmly welcome the diplomatic visit of the 18 civilizations of mankind", a red carpet in front of him, and the music of "Jasmine Flower" playing around, which made him feel relaxed.
Everything here still has the same flavor as before.
He saw his parents and sister. Their appearance had not changed much and they even looked younger.
The crow's feet at the corners of my parents' eyes have disappeared, and my sister has not become a fat woman.
They were waving at him with smiles on their faces.
At this moment, time seemed to stop.
They also saw Lu Yuan, and his smile slowly disappeared, replaced by red eyes and choked emotions.
It’s just that I’m embarrassed to express my emotions in public.
The people of Dadong Country are always reserved and introverted. They don’t yell or cry or laugh. It’s as if they keep everything in their hearts.
Lu Yuan felt a breath brewing in his heart, which was hard to describe but real. He felt more and more that all his experiences were just an extremely long dream, and he couldn't even tell whether it was a good dream or a nightmare.
It seemed as if after waking up, he could live his life as before.
No, not a dream.
But, I came back after going through untold hardships.
…
The leaders of the Human Alliance are all shrewd people, naturally well versed in the ways of the world, and gave Lu Yuan's family more private space.
The first thing they did was to go to a reception room in the flying fortress to reminisce about the past.
There were no other outsiders in the room.
After closing the door, the mother burst into tears, tears flowing like a faucet, unable to stop: "I thought... I would never see you again. I have been comforting myself that sooner or later you will come back."
Lu Yuan hugged his mother affectionately, and tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow out.
I patted her back, wanting to comfort her but couldn't say anything.
Then he hugged his father, who turned his head away.
"Dad, I brought you some tea grown by other civilizations."
My father nodded silently, walked to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and the sound of running water came out.
Finally, he hugged his sister who was hiding in the corner wiping her tears, and his sister burst into tears with a "wow".
This feeling is very sincere and there is no conflict of interest involved.
Throughout life, we must have some anchors deep in our hearts, and they may be a major motivation for our struggles.
Lu Yuan suppressed his turbulent emotions in his heart and smiled to comfort him: "I'm back, isn't this fine?"
"Look, not a single component is missing, and he is still a legendary level 7 master!"
Bend your arms slightly, flexing your biceps.
Xiantian Shenhua's body is naturally perfect. Even though he wears clothes that reduce his charm, his good health can be seen at a glance.
"Level 7? The legendary field master?" Lu Qingqing began to check the household registration, "Can you beat the mecha? What is the field?"
"Yeah, a reconnaissance type field doesn't actually have any particular use." Lu Yuan's aura changed and he released the [Greed Field].
His parents' extraordinary level has reached level four, and judging from the quality of their extraordinary fire, they are about to reach level five.
And her younger sister Lu Qingqing is already a fifth-level extraordinary life form, and has a divine skill [Dream Sensing].
It seems that Yunhai City does provide them with a lot of resources.
"How come you suddenly ran away from the city and wandered around alone?!" The mother was still wiping her tears.
Lu Yuan scratched his head. It’s better not to pursue something that happened so long ago.
"If you don't wander around, how can you provide information to Yunhai City?"
After more than ten minutes of comforting, everyone calmed down and talked about some interesting things in life, such as "my sister's blind date life", "the social atmosphere in Yunhai City is deteriorating", and "men and women don't get married, but just waste their time."
Memories of the past will always be beautify slowly.
Lu Yuan didn’t think that the Earth era was better than the present, but that’s what his parents thought.
"Oh, no wonder you're too lazy to go on blind dates. You're at level five, and there aren't many people in Yunhai City who are better than you, right? Most of the boys get beaten up by you, and you think they're all ants."
Lu Yuan made a ferocious expression, imitating the provocative movements of the classic villains in fantasy novels: "Ant, you actually want toads to eat swan meat, and covet my princess, die!"
Lu Qingqing couldn't help but raise her voice: "I didn't! Hitting people is against the law!"
She really didn't have that idea. The so-called extraordinary level only had the benefit of increasing lifespan and improving physical fitness. It was impossible for her to really look down on others.
Lu Yuan teased her: "You are using your brother's skin, even if you beat someone up, the police station won't dare to lock you up. Even if you rob a bank, Li Chunhong might have to find a way to release you."
“Ahhh… I’ll beat you to death!!” My sister rushed over with her fists raised.
"Look, she just said beating people is against the law, and now she's beating up her own brother."
Lu Yuan was hit by several punches, and he felt extremely happy. Just as you laughed at me for going on blind dates before, you have to endure it now - well, the boomerang flew back and hit her on the head. It took almost six hundred years. It was really long.
The noisy scene also made his parents happy.
"Dad, Mom, don't rush her. People of different levels have different life spans. Just think about it, a level 5 master can live for thousands of years. It's hard for people of this era to be tied together by marriage like in the past. Unless it's true love, you can get married. Otherwise, like in the past, finding a partner to live with for the rest of your life? That's thousands of years. Who can live with that?"
"If I don't get married, what will happen in the future?"
"Ah... I don't know either."
Lu Yuan really didn’t know that he was not good at these family matters.
"Even more, who knows not only the fate of individuals but also the future of civilization?"
Perhaps it would be a good idea to pursue life expectancy equality for the general public, like Green City does.
He remembered something else: "How is your life here?"
"It's fine, what's wrong?" The father replied, "We are still working in the hospital. Not only are we not busy, but we have a lot of free time."
"The emergence of the extraordinary fire has eliminated most diseases. Only some difficult and complicated diseases need to be treated by doctors. Common colds, fevers, and gastroenteritis basically do not exist anymore."
"Your sister works in the Dream Lab, taking care of the twin sycamore trees and researching dream-related virtual world topics. It's a good job."
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment: "Dad, I want to take you to live in my city."
"There are only three of us anyway. If you are willing, the leader will not refuse to let us go."
These words left all the relatives stunned.
Everyone has their own social network. There will always be some resistance to suddenly giving up everything and following Lu Yuan to other cities.
In particular, when their current life is good, they are even less willing to make rash changes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat silent, Lu Qingqing tried to change the subject: "Where is Sister Hai Luo?"
Lu Yuan looked out the window: "She...as the nominal ruler of Green City, she is on a diplomatic visit."
"You should be able to understand that in the future, the eighteen human civilizations will establish stable diplomatic relations with the Human Alliance and expand exchanges at the scientific research and industrial levels. By the way, you won't fail to develop my "Field Industrialization", right?"
"Of course there are!" Lu Qingqing looked at the ceiling and thought for a while, "The Haji civilization is an ally of our human alliance. We bought some resting places just like we did, and then we slowly established a relationship... They are a civilization with low reproductive capacity, and this place can greatly improve their reproductive capacity."
"You don't mind that some of the fields' manufacturing methods have been sold, do you?"
"Haha, the farther it spreads, the better!" Lu Yuan really didn't mind. The moment he spread "Field Industrialization", he wanted it to spread throughout the entire Pangu Continent.
With this kind of spontaneous dissemination, no one can find the real inventor.
Lu Yuan added: "In short, the eighteen human civilizations are most likely much stronger than the Human Alliance."
"real?"
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes: "I can't really fool you. I'll let you see for yourself later... It's highly likely that both sides will expand their exchanges."
"With such a daughter-in-law of status, even if you continue to live in Yunhai City, you will inevitably attract attention, and it will be difficult to live the peaceful life you had in the past."
The family members were all speechless.
This matter is like a son marrying the queen of a certain country. That would be really big news. The family would obviously be under tremendous pressure from public opinion. They would probably be criticized even when they were sitting in the office.
In this case, it is better to move...
