Sliven was originally firmly opposed to the train and was determined to set up a space defense line with the attitude of dying together.
But now that he saw the entire train with his own eyes, he suddenly felt a desire to go in and take a look.
Just as he tried to get closer, the picture flipped and his consciousness became blurred.
The train was gone, leaving only a huge stone statue without a face.
The scene was so terrifying that Sliven was so scared that he almost quit the game world.
The statue spoke.
"Welcome to the world of Fuyao. Is there anything you want to ask?"
Sliven, in a rare moment of clarity, asked, "Are you a game developer?"
"I'm a developer. Don't you have any other questions?"
Sliven relaxed his emotions, smiled, and shook his head: "From your tone, you must be still very young. Are you married? How old is your child?"
"You think I'm a Cobo? Actually, I'm not. Over a month ago, you used the accelerator to shoot me. How do you think I should repay you?"
There was resentment in the words, but it was actually more like a joke.
Sliven didn't believe it and said, "You made a good game, but don't make it again. It's because of your game that I went to jail."
The stone statue stretched out its hand and pointed to the side.
I saw images of Cobo Star appear on the side, overlapping and very clear.
After an unknown number of layers, the picture extended outward, showing the space defense deployment clearly.
When he saw this, Sliven got goose bumps all over his body and his eyes were filled with horror.
The picture continued to move outward, showing a more vast starry sky, and even adding the rat people's train.
But Chen An did not show the image of the rat man because it could not affect their plans.
"See? I know everything about you. To be honest, if I didn't want to give you some chance to survive, I would destroy the entire Cobo Galaxy as punishment for offending me."
Everyone can brag, so Chen An simply let himself go and scared Sliven a lot.
After a long while, Sliven asked, "Are you really an alien? But why did you lead me here?"
"Since you are capable, I want to give you a way out."
Sliven: "Is the end of the world real?"
"Go and feel it for yourself! You can't change the overall situation. The most important thing is to save your own life."
The statue disappears and Sliven is kicked out of the game.
He wanted to enter the game again, but there was no port for him.
Sliven was confused.
"Am I really wrong, and Scarlett is right?"
"No, the prophet's prophecy clearly states that there is only one train of hope. The train that Skarsgard and the others touched may not be the same one I touched."
He immediately spread his analysis, but not many people believed him.
Only those who have entered the Fuyao world and passed the five levels believe it firmly, but their number is too small to change the situation.
…
March 17, 2002, Recovery Calendar.
After one and a half months of mining, the energy crystal planet was finally mined.
The total energy crystal reserves are 2.5 billion basic units.
Chen An is in this state of mind now: he has food in his hands and is not worried.
"If anyone messes with me again, I'll give them 200 million energy crystals without blinking an eye."
[The Sky Patrol has a reserve of 300 million energy crystals. Should we increase it?]
Chen An: "It's enough for the patrol ship to fire three shots, no need to increase it. Have they started?"
[The Cobos and the Ratmen have completed secondary contact, and three trains are approaching the Cobo system.]
Chen An checked the screen and saw that other trains would arrive at the outer circle of the Cobo galaxy in eight hours.
"Our train should also quickly approach and stow the space patrol ship. When it's almost there, deploy it and try to keep a certain distance from our train. For now, please don't install the passengers. Issue an announcement and have them stay on their current planet. We'll return to pick them up once we're done."
On the way, Chen An retrieved more information about the Cobo galaxy and found that Scarry had indeed made up his mind.
Not only did he shut down the accelerator, he also opened gaps in all three lines of defense.
In order to reassure the incoming trains, seven of the ten fortresses remained silent, and only three maintained the necessary vigilance.
Chen An was surprised: "Is this guy crazy? He could just shut down the accelerator, but he even shut down the fortress? Of course, the fortress itself is not strong, it's just a target. But what about his fleet?"
[Skerry took precautions. He divided the fleet into three formations, positioning them near the gaps in the three lines of defense. If the train made any unusual movement, the fleet could immediately surround it.]
Then the scene on Cobo Planet was displayed.
Banners welcoming the train were hung on the streets, and a speech by Kylian using a fake image was played on the public screen. Everywhere was filled with joy, as if it was New Year's Day.
Chen An: "Who could have imagined that public opinion would change so quickly in just two months?"
[With official instigation and the public's blind faith, since the announcement of the alien train's visit to Cobo, the accelerators have been shut down, the Space Force's supplies have been reduced, the resistance has temporarily ceased, and even the weather has become warmer. In short, everything on Cobo is now thriving, and everyone is eager for good news from the aliens.]
"It's a pity that everything is an illusion."
…
When the three trains arrived at the outer circle, it was morning in the holy city of Yale.
Scarry was neatly dressed and the officials looked radiant.
Unlike before when they were cursed by the people, they now have a very good reputation. As long as they complete the task of contacting aliens, they will receive extremely high positive evaluations.
From now on, whether you are making money or continuing elections, you will get twice the result with half the effort.
"According to the schedule, the train will arrive at the First Star Circle and enter orbit around 3:00 PM. We have already dispatched a welcoming fleet to fetch the guests for the banquet. Governor, do you have any other instructions?"
Skerry spoke in an official tone, saying, "The entire banquet will be broadcast live, and all Kobo people must see it. Even the prison cannot be ignored. Our marshal should be interested."
"Also, prepare enough food to trade with them. As the host, we can afford to suffer a little loss, but we can't let our friends who have come from afar down."
"After the banquet, I will announce the complete abandonment of the accelerator and the dismantling of the Space Force, leaving only the basic fleet. I will then announce a large number of measures to benefit the people. The resources saved from the Space Force will be enough to appease them. The rebels want money, right? Give it to them. Reuven, pay attention to security."
Reuven looked confused and didn't reply for a long time. Skarsgard asked, "Are you still doubting?"
Lu Wen said, "I've been thinking about it these past two days, and I feel like something's not right. Governor, I still suggest that we place the transaction outside the defense circle and prevent the train from approaching Cobo Star."
A pot-bellied minister nearby sarcastically said, "Communication with aliens is a diplomatic matter. How can we shut them out? Do you think a few trains and a million people can pose a threat to us?"
Other officials denounced Reuven and, in the process, praised Scarry as if he were a saint.
Skerry looked calm and said with a smile, "Reuven is still too young. You should hone yourself well in the future. The future belongs to you."
While they were exchanging official rhetoric, the Ratman train entered the outer circle unimpeded.
