"If you don't mind, we can go to Gienah," Ace suggested.
"Girach?" This was a term Ling had never heard of. Of course, she was a complete novice in cosmology. She had never learned it in school, and Gaia had never told her (perhaps Gaia herself didn't understand it either).
"Well, in Chinese characters, it's Tianjin Jiu."
In the Kingdom of Light, these planets of course have other code names, and the people on Earth learned how to call these planets after Beidou joined the TAC team.
The name "Tianjin Nine" is much more familiar, but Ling still doesn't recognize it. After all, there is no such course in elementary school. Being able to point out the Big Dipper and the North Star is enough to be considered an astronomy enthusiast.
"Tianjin Nine is located in the Cygnus constellation, which has stars suitable for life and is very close to the Earth."
"Very close?"
"Yes, only about 70 light years away."
70 light years, even for light, it would take almost a human lifetime to reach there. Ha, but in astronomy, it is indeed very close.
Apsalar hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Of course, Earth cannot relocate a planet, and neither can Apra - it was the Yabo people who relocated the planet from the doomed Spica to here - but for the Kingdom of Light, which had already crossed the barrier of Level 5 civilization, this was an easy task.
In addition to Apra, other planets in this star field also need similar treatment. After the Yabo people leave, the life support system will lose subsequent supply, and this place will soon become unsuitable for life.
Seven and Jack quickly contacted the Technology Development Bureau of the Kingdom of Light and prepared to set up a planetary teleportation device.
Apsalar paid no attention to that.
"Gaia, no, Lingye, I hope to continue living on Earth, is that okay?"
"Eh? Aren't you leaving with your planet?"
As the will of the planet, if she is far away from her own planet, she is like a rootless duckweed, without any power to replenish. She is obviously a planet goddess, but if she stays on Earth for a long time, she will be no different from an ordinary person.
"Look, I was just attacked by Apra Star. Even I can get a little mad. So I decided to run away from home."
"what?"
Of course this is a joke.
Apsalar was not angry, she just understood. As the Yabo people said, those lives on Apra Star no longer needed her.
[Even if it is the home planet where it was born, once all resources are exhausted and it loses its value, it will be abandoned. As long as you have the technology to travel between stars, you can find alternative planets at will. This is the most common thing in the universe.]
When Yabo said this, he might have thought that Apsalar would be angry, but he was not.
Apra had already explored the technology of interstellar migration, and before the supernova explosion of Spica, they had already begun to try to build bases and mine resources outside the star system. However, the supernova explosion and the colonization of the Yabo people cut off their development.
It's time to continue.
Apsalar did not feel abandoned. On the contrary, she also wanted to see how far the civilization she had nurtured could go. At least, they no longer needed the planet goddess's careful care. They could already take their own steps towards the unknown.
"Why, can you allow me to live on Earth?"
Just treat it as a short vacation, she really likes the earth.
"Of course, you can stay as long as you want. Besides, without your 'Virgo', there will be no one to warm up for Tomoyo, Sakura, and me at our concerts."
"Haha, yes, there is this matter. Don't worry, I will try my best to sing the best song."
"Ah, there's no need to try so hard, otherwise it would be pitiful for us to sing in the back."
The audience's enthusiasm has been sucked away by Virgo. Who would care about their subsequent concerts?
"It seems so. But I believe Ling will become a big star soon too."
Ling also returned to human form, and Apsara also returned to human size. The two of them lay on the emerald green grassland of Apura Star. The breeze blew across the grassland, making waves and bringing a special fragrance.
A big star? She's also good.
Since getting the Light of Gaia, Ling was so relaxed for the first time. She gradually felt that Yabo had really surrendered. They won. Humans paid too many sacrifices, but they really won.
As for Zoda? Never mind. Now is the time to enjoy the victory. We can worry about the rest later.
Two days later, the Earth
"Oh my, it's so noisy. Those guys in the upper echelons, you don't see them usually, but now they all come out and make noises."
"No way, that's the technology of the Yabo people, which is at least a thousand years ahead of Earth."
To say that a thousand years is too short is too little. There is an absolutely unbridgeable gap between primary civilization and level 3 civilization.
As compensation for the defeat, the Yabo people promised to pay a portion of technological data that surpassed humans. There were too many technologies to choose from, and almost every one of them could take human technology to a higher level, which caused a lot of arguments among the top leaders of various countries on Earth during this period.
Some people even proposed to create the technology of super beasts, but the Yabo people did not agree. Captain Long felt that if humans were to perish one day, it would probably not be because of monsters and aliens, but because of humans themselves.
"Although they are called the victors, it was actually Gaia and the Kingdom of Light who made the effort, right? Those guys still had the nerve to argue so fiercely, as if they were the ones who defeated the Yawa people." Konno said with a mocking tone.
Even the TAC team did not dare to take credit for the victory over the Yabo people. Without Gaia and Ace, humans would have lost long ago. Beraoken, Baraba, Black Satan, and many other super beasts, which one can be eliminated by human technology?
“That American even shamelessly said things like, ‘We are all Gaia’s children, if Gaia wins, we win’, and ‘It is a sacred right granted by law for a child to inherit his mother’s assets, which is universally recognized.’ I don’t know if Gaia recognizes him as her son.”
"That being said, if we really want to discuss this with Gaia, we can't find her. Mother Earth, should we build a shrine and burn incense and pray?"
Captain Long glanced at Yoshimura who was speaking. He said that there was no need to pray to contact Gaia. However, the other party did not seem to have any intention of intervening. Perhaps they looked down on the technology of the Yabo people?
Ling certainly didn't look down on it, but, to be honest, even if the Yabo people clearly wrote down the rules and regulations of a certain technology, it would be too difficult for her to understand it with her high school education at most.
However, she did ask the Yabo people for a technology in private. A technology that the Yabo people thought was primitive. She couldn't understand it, but it was fine if someone else could.
"Reiya, where did you get this information?" asked Odohji Sonomi in surprise.
Ling had previously used a storage device to fill up with blueprints. After a preliminary inspection by the company's technical department, it turned out to be pure mobile phone manufacturing process data, from hardware chips to software codes. One cannot help but wonder if the Oshima family had robbed a laboratory in the United States.
"It doesn't matter. There is no problem with the source of these drawings. We can even apply for a patent."
Of course, even with the blueprints, it would take time to actually make a mobile phone. There were still many technical problems to be solved from the blueprints to the actual product, but that had nothing to do with Ling. With these materials, I believe that before her coming-of-age ceremony, she should be able to get the real mobile phone she remembered in her past life.
She couldn't wait any longer.
"Captain, if you have nothing else to do today, I'll leave first." Yamanaka stood up and said. He had already asked the captain for leave.
"Okay. Shanzhong, if you need to, you can actually take a few more days off. The alert has been lifted, and we've been so tense for so long, everyone can take a break."
This was the first time in a year that the TAC team had raised the alert level to blue (safe). In the past, even when there were no super beast attacks, the threat from the Yabo people was still implemented at yellow standby alert.
"No, captain, just one day is enough." If he were really allowed to take more vacation, Yamanaka would find that he had forgotten how to take a vacation.
"Then, be careful on the road."
After getting off the bus, I was wearing casual clothes for the first time and walked along the path in the forest. Suddenly, the view in front of me opened up to rows of stone tablets.
Standing in front of a stone tablet, he put down the bunch of lilies in his hand.
"Maya."
There were signs of cleaning in front of the stone tablet, and it looked like it was done in the past few days, perhaps by Maya's parents.
Yes, he was not the only one who was sad about Maya's death. At the engagement ceremony, they handed Maya over to him. He had clearly promised, but he failed to protect her.
Shanzhong kept thinking, if he hadn't left at that time, if he had insisted on guarding the launch site until the end...
"I'm sorry, Maya. I wanted to tell you the news of our victory with a smile. Sorry..."
He had tried hard, just like Maya said, to see him smile, but he really couldn't stop crying.
"We won, Maya. We won."
"Gaia, you helped us defeat Yabo, please...please take care of Maya for me, please!"
A misty rain floats in the mountains and forests, washing away the dust in the forests. The cycle of life is endless.
It is not only the mountains that celebrate the dead. One year, too long a year, has created too many separations and deaths. Now the war is over.
It's finally over. The sad people can finally grieve as much as they want. Because life will go on, and after the sadness, a new day will come.
Chapter 164 Dream
What is your dream for the future?
This was the topic for the Chinese composition class. Sakura had a lot on her mind, but for a moment she didn't know how to start.
Dream~~
I will be in fifth grade at the beginning of next spring. In two years, I will be in junior high school, and then high school. I don’t know what I will be like when I grow up.
But, as expected, I want to continue filming more TV dramas with Tomoyo and Reiya, and continue singing on bigger stages.
"Hey, this dream is great. I agree with it."
During the break in the filming, they talked about the essay they had written previously, and Chiyo agreed.
"But, I also want to make more clothes for you, and then personally shoot a movie for Lingye and Ying, and I will be the director."
"Director Tomoyo? He seems pretty good too."
As for dreams, you can think about them however you want, maybe they will come true?
They sat on the lawn, which was a little bleak in early winter, but surprisingly still soft. The leaves on the branches had all fallen, bleak but not sad, but with a certain expectation, perhaps waiting for the first snow?
Since ancient times, people have felt sad and lonely in autumn. I say autumn is better than spring. Liu Yuxi's sentiment was true in Lingye's opinion. After all, the scenery of nature is a dead thing. What kind of feeling it brings to people is what matters is the mood at that time.
Because of Sakura and Tomoyo, I will never feel lonely when I have friends around me.
"Where's Lingya?"
"Me? I was thinking, after we graduate from elementary school, we should go to the same junior high school."
"Ah? No, I can't go to an aristocratic school." Sakura waved her hand.
Her family was not poor, and the income of a university professor was considered upper-middle class in Tokyo, but such wealth was still incompatible with an aristocratic school.
"Well, so let's just go to a normal junior high school. Aristocratic schools aren't that interesting."
This is what Lingye really thinks. Whether it's socializing or the so-called etiquette of upper society, she doesn't think she needs these.
Even in an aristocratic school, she was the one who was always the center of attention. If she wanted, she could be the center of attention among her classmates. In terms of social etiquette, she was the one who was actively socialized. But she always kept a low profile in class, and apart from Chise, she did not deliberately make friends with others.
"I agree!" Chise also thought so. For her, all schools were the same. The important thing was that everyone was together. "I will tell my mother. I think she will agree."
Then the three of them didn't say anything else, just sat quietly, keeping this agreement in mind. Being able to sit together quietly like this is a rare happiness.
"Break is over, staff are in place."
"Ah, it's time to start filming." Ling also stood up and brushed the grass clippings off her skirt.
The TV series has been filmed for 40 episodes. Although the entire series is expected to be 70 episodes, it is actually divided into two chapters. The first is the Clow Cards, and the second is the Sakura Cards. So there are still a few episodes left before the end of the Clow Cards chapter.
The subsequent chapters of the Sakura brand will have to wait until the beginning of next spring to be filmed. Because it is shorter, with only twenty episodes, it is expected to be completed in one season.
