Their reactions were surprisingly consistent. They first suspected that the satellite was malfunctioning, then doubted their colleague's mental state, then doubted their own mental state, and finally accepted the facts and submitted the report to their superiors.
Except China.
The director soon received the photo from Kyoto, and his old boss called him at the same time, almost yelling at him to confirm whether the figure in the photo was Asahi Immortal.
When he first arrived at the mountain gate, Zhang Mu revealed that he could fly into space.
The director at that time did not have any doubts in his heart, but he was not too concerned about it.
Even when he later chatted with Yue Ruo and others, most of the time he was just joking about whether Xuxianren would go to outer space with the spacecraft.
He thought that what Immortal Xu meant by "crossing the space" should be the use of some "magic weapon". After seeing the flying boat used to go down the mountain, he became more certain of his guess.
But now when the photo popped up on the huge screen in the operations room, he realized that the so-called "crossing the void" was exactly as it sounded!
"Xiao Luo? Xiao Luo?!" Among the people in the operations room who were staring at the screen in a daze, the director was the first to come to his senses and shouted hoarsely.
"Director, Team Luo has gone to teach Duan Ti Shu." While his voice was lowered, someone hurriedly explained.
"Call him back! Quick!"
Chapter 321 Master, take me flying!
When the call came to the training ground, the director suppressed his excitement and sat back in his chair.
His body flew directly into outer space. Although the satellite images sent from Kyoto had confirmed that this was absolutely true, he still felt dizzy and could not believe it.
That is the universe, the ultimate dream of mankind.
From the moment humans began to understand the universe, the dream of chasing the sea of stars has never stopped.
There is no doubt that the dream is far away.
Modern humans have been moving forward on the path of exploring the universe, but due to internal reasons and technological limitations, the results have been minimal.
This has led some people to raise negative questions: Can we really reach the universe before the resources on the blue planet are exhausted?
But I never thought that humans have already taken this step.
At this moment, the director's mind was full of strange and extremely out-of-the-ordinary questions.
He is not familiar with astronomical knowledge, but he still knows some basic terms, such as "black hole", "star", "satellite", etc.
I heard that the gravity of a black hole can even capture light. Can Xuxianren get close to it?
If so, can I go in?
If you go in, what is it like inside?
The universe is mysterious, and there are many things that humans don't know about it. At this moment, it seems that this veil of mystery may be lifted.
The director's mind was working so fast that he felt his brain was a little overloaded. He quickly shook his head to pause his thoughts.
He raised his hand and rubbed his temple, muttering quietly: "How far can the Xuxian fly? Can he bring others with him?
Uh, I remember that positioning in the universe requires coordinates. Could it be that he has the legendary star map?
If not, what if you fly too far and get lost?
I wonder how far the Asahi Immortal has flown, has he touched the boundary of the universe? Or is there no boundary?
Tsk, I really want to know...why are you all looking at me?"
After rubbing for a while, the director felt the pain in his head eased a lot. He looked up and found that his subordinates who were busy in front of the computer were all looking at him.
It is more convenient to look left and right. You don’t need to turn your head, you can just take a peek with your peripheral vision.
It's a little troublesome directly in front because the computer blocks my view, but the problem is simple, I just have to stand up.
Well, it's just a bit too blatant.
"What are you looking at? Are you bored?" The director's face darkened, "Yesterday, I discussed with the garrison leaders about giving you a one-month military training to help you get rid of your laziness.
I'm just busy setting up a surveillance network, so I thought I'd wait until I was done. Now that you guys are free, that's perfect, let's do it this afternoon..."
Before he could finish his words, everyone lowered their heads or straightened their heads, fearing that the director would really drag them to military training.
"Hmph, I'm still doing..."
"Director!" Luo Xiling pushed open the door and rushed in. "Why are you so anxious? Has another evildoer appeared?!"
"No."
"Oh, that's all right." She paused in her hasty steps, then relaxed, dragged a chair from the wall and sat opposite the director, "Then why are you in such a hurry to find me?"
"Look at this." The director raised his chin towards the wall behind her.
Luo Xiling turned her chair suspiciously and looked at the satellite image on the screen: "Is this... a photo?"
"According to... that counts as well."
"Hey, isn't that Master?"
As expected of a direct disciple, he recognized him at a glance without even magnifying the image. The director was very moved and said, "Look around again."
"The surroundings... um... oh, a satellite aerial view?" The background was not difficult to discern, and she soon realized.
"Correct."
Scratching her head, she asked curiously, "Why did the satellite aerial photo capture Master...?"
She seemed to finally react. She stood up with her hands on the armrests of the chair, her eyes fixed on the screen.
Perhaps worried that he had seen it wrong, he walked forward, and forward, until the tip of his nose was almost touching the wall.
The director used his little finger to pick his ear and said, "Don't doubt it, the picture is real."
"Really?" Luo Xiling turned her head, "Are you kidding me?"
"Really, really." The director's tone was full of disgust.
She looked back at the screen, and after a long silence, she suddenly screamed, "Ah! I want to go to heaven and play!"
The busy staff looked at each other and nodded. Well, the Luo team performed as steadily as ever.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Luo Xiling summoned her long sword and was about to fly back to the mountain gate to find her master. The director ran over with a headache and held her back: "The plane is ready. When Yue Ruo and the others arrive, we will go together."
"No! The plane is not as fast as me!"
"This is an order!"
"Okay then." Seeing the director's eyebrows raised, Luo Xiling sat back in the chair willingly.
More than ten minutes later, Yue Ruo, Zhao Qi, Ye Ming, and four disciples from the mountain gate who were training at a slightly farther training ground all arrived.
The director didn't want to delay, so he led the team directly to the airport to board the plane and explained things to them on the way.
Zhao Qi was very shocked: "Xu Xianren did say that he could go to the universe, but..."
"Did they fly there directly?" Yue Ruo took over the conversation, "I thought they used a means of transportation similar to a flying boat."
Ye Ming was a little calmer, thinking for a moment and said: "If you move in space without protective clothing, Immortal Xu's body..."
"They are not even human beings, are they?" Yue Ruo held the cup and brought it to her lips, trying to suppress her surging emotions, but it seemed to have no effect. She didn't even notice that the cup was empty.
"I wonder if Master Xu would mind doing research on a strand of hair?
If there are results, maybe our aviation technology can be improved." Zhao Qi muttered while scratching his face.
The director was very pleased: "That makes sense. You can bring it up when you see Xuxianren later."
"I didn't say anything." Zhao Qi closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
The people at the back were not chatting, but were discussing how to start the conversation about the purpose of this trip.
The director immediately set out for the mountain gate, not just for the sake of seeing the sight, but also in the hope that Xuxianren could escort the completed spacecraft.
Spaceships are valuable, but they are inanimate objects after all. As long as the technology and data remain, it is easy to build another one.
So he was not doing this for the safety of the spacecraft, but for the astronauts inside.
The director thought that based on his experience in dealing with the Xuxian people, his proposal would not be rejected.
But I haven't received an answer yet, so I can't help feeling a little nervous.
A few hours later, the plane landed at the cave base airport in the evening.
The director, who was originally very anxious, was no longer in a hurry when he arrived. He first went to the base to inspect the progress of the spacecraft construction.
According to China's past customs, non-relevant personnel are not allowed to be involved in such top-secret projects. Not to mention looking at them, even asking about them requires them to be invited for tea.
But this time it's different.
First of all, China had no intention of concealing the truth, and there wasn’t even any decent camouflage around the base.
Because of Kunpeng blocking the satellite in the sky, and also because of Xuxian, China does not have to bear the pressure of foreign spying.
They dare to come and cause trouble? Do they really think that Immortal Xu's sword is not powerful?
Therefore, the director easily entered the workshop - a huge cave underground.
It was the director's decision to place the workshop underground.
There was a lot of opposition initially.
How to fly it after it is built? Make a hole in the ground?
After he said that the Xuxian people would properly resolve the issue, everyone fell silent.
The director walked around the cave for a while.
The construction efficiency was remarkable. After several months of hard work, the outer shell had taken shape, thanks to the diligence of the workers and the help of the mountain gate.
After watching it, he did not stay at the base, but led everyone to the beach. He first saluted Kunpeng above his head, and then called out loudly to Xuxianren.
A gate of light opened in the sky, and Luo Xiling and the other four flew on swords, each carrying one, and flew in, landing in a small courtyard on the top of Yuzhang Mountain.
Xuxianren was sitting at a stone table in the corner. He was not surprised to see several people coming, as if he had expected it.
Luo Xiling jumped up and came closer: "Master, Master, have you ascended to heaven?"
"Hmm?" Xuxianren raised his eyebrows.
"I mean, have you been to the universe?"
