But in the end, the underground man shook his head.
"The ground is our obsession, but the truth is it no longer belongs to us."
It was just a distant dream place, but it was no longer suitable for them to live in.
"In this case, the safety of the underground of this planet will be left to you from now on. This is a place that humans cannot reach, but there are still aliens eyeing it covetously." Ling also said.
This was not the first time that I encountered an enemy like Angramon, and it would definitely not be the last.
Humanity’s defense of the Earth by land, sea and air is becoming increasingly strict, but there is a blind spot that cannot be reached under the planet.
"Leave the underground of this planet to us?"
"Yes, can I ask you to do that?"
They are underground people who have lived underground for countless years. If we count from the time they hid underground during the last ice age, it has been more than two million years.
They have always believed that they are rootless and wandering ghosts, hiding in the dark, unknown and unrecognized.
But at this moment, the planetary will of the earth entrusted the underground to them.
From this moment on, their existence was recognized by the planet and they were one of the many living creatures on the planet.
What the Yabo people were trying so hard to get at that time was actually just Gaia's words.
"But we don't have the ability to protect the earth."
Even at their strongest, they were only protected by Teleston, a monster they had tamed by chance, but Teleston was dead.
Now they are unable to take care of themselves, with only a few hundred people, and all their weapons were confiscated during the years of slavery. They can only rebuild their homes, not protect the earth, and can't even protect themselves.
Ling also thought about it and took the rabbit from the secret realm.
"This is Lunaticus. It will protect you instead of Teleston."
Instead of letting this fat rabbit sit idle under the laurel tree all day, it would be better to do something more meaningful.
"Is this... a new patronus?"
It is not wrong to say that it is the guardian deity, after all, it is the white rabbit of Inaba, or the Jade Rabbit. It is also a well-known mythological character in mythology.
It can be said to be a monster, but in fact it can also be said to be a god.
Lunaticus was a little dazed when he was suddenly taken out of the secret realm, and then handed over to the underground people.
"Normally, you don't need to feed it anything. It will drink the magma by itself. If you encounter an enemy that you really can't resist, then tell me."
"Tell you... No, you, but how can we contact you?"
"Call my name and ask for it with all your heart, and I will hear you."
Her name, of course, is not Oshima Reiya, but Gaia. For believers, whatever they ask for will be answered.
In this age when all gods and demons have fallen, she is the only one who can hear the prayers of all living beings.
Thus, this group of lost people who had been abandoned by the world for millions of years now had gods to believe in.
She does not need praise, she is not great because of praise, nor does she seek faith to anchor her. She only watches the countless creatures on the planet from the outside of the long river of time.
From the Hadean period until the first life appeared on Earth 38 billion years ago, life has experienced five mass extinctions since then. Endless fate, each time, lost to the source of destruction.
Gaia holds a glimmer of hope, hoping that this time, life, humans, and not just humans, but all life on Earth, can move towards a different future.
Defeat the source of destruction and survive in the future.
Although the Kingdom of Light protects the Earth, when the real decision comes, the Ultra Warriors cannot make choices on behalf of mankind.
Otherwise, the planet would begin a new cycle, a cycle that even Gaia was already somewhat tired of.
Chapter 206: Finished Mobile Phone
The New Year holiday has come to an end before I knew it. When I came to my senses, I found that school was about to start and the last semester of the school year was about to begin.
Then after spring break, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they will be in fifth grade.
"I always feel like I haven't had a holiday."
Lingye lay weakly on the bench in the park. The bench was a little cold, but she didn't care.
"It's okay actually. By the way, did you go to the movies during the New Year? "Penguin Noisy and White Bear Daddy"
Tomoyo and Ling also shook their heads. Watching a movie? Their annual leave was spent on courtesy visits.
"I see. It's not easy to be born in a big family." Sakura felt a little sympathetic. Fortunately, her family celebrated the New Year as it was a real New Year, without any trivial matters. They just had to enjoy the New Year atmosphere. Moreover, this was the happiest New Year she had ever spent.
She went to the movies with her parents, which was the first time she could remember. She felt very safe sitting between them in the dark movie theater.
"But I did make clothes. The clothes for the Moon Princess I mentioned earlier are finished. I also have clothes for Reiya and Sakura."
"What about yourself?"
"Ahahaha, of course I have mine too."
"Well, that's fine."
This was a conversation between Tomoyo and Reiya, and Sakura sounded a little confused.
"Princess Moon?"
"It's Kaguya-hime. Or Chang'e?" Chiyo was not sure. She designed it in the style of Tang suits. The prosperous Tang Dynasty on the other side of the sea is the Heian period here, the era when various myths and legends were born, full of the magnificent imagination of the ancestors. At that time, various cultures and customs also crossed the sea and influenced this country for a thousand years.
"I always feel like you guys are hiding something from me." Sakura looked at Tomoyo, then at Reiya. But never mind, as long as they were still true friends, there were some things between friends that didn't need to be delved into.
All the trees in the park were left with dry branches, and only a few pine trees were still green and a little old. Sakura thought of the movie she watched yesterday.
Penguin Nao Nao and White Bear A Dai
"I thought this was Antarctica," said the penguin.
"I thought it was the North Pole." said Polar Bear A-Dai.
"Are you real, then?"
"What about you? Are you real?"
Naonao and A'dai looked at each other, neither quite sure.
"I have an idea. If you think I'm real, then I'm real. Do you agree?"
"agree!"
So Nao Nao and Ah Dai became friends. Friends don't need to care about other things, including the South Pole and the North Pole, and can play games together across the distance of the earth.
"What should I do on the last day of vacation?"
This is a sad question. The last day always makes people nostalgic, as if something important has left them without being cherished.
"I heard there's a hot air balloon that's touring the country. It's coming to Tokyo soon. It would be great if it came earlier. It would be great to ride a hot air balloon on the last day of the holiday."
"Hot air balloon?"
Ever since Jeffreys and Blanchard flew across the English Channel in a balloon (a hydrogen balloon at the time) in 1785, hot air balloons have become the most fashionable and fantastic way to travel. Over the past two hundred years, despite various accidents, they have continued to be popular, giving rise to many fantasy works.
Hot air balloons seem to be naturally associated with fairy tales. Floating in the sky with colorful colors, they can fulfill all children's dreams.
"Reiya, Tomoyo, have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon?"
Reiya and Tomoyo both shook their heads. They had all been on airplanes, and Reiya had even been on a TAC fighter jet, but they had never been on a hot air balloon. Although that kind of thing was common in stories, it was not common in real life.
"Next time the tour comes to Tokyo, shall we go together?"
"Huh? Hot...hot air balloon?"
Chise's expression was a little reluctant. Flying in the sky made people feel unsafe. She was already terrified by flying. Every time she took off, she couldn't help but close her eyes. She was afraid of falling down because the cabin was shaking in the airflow.
It's hard to imagine how terrifying it is to see a hot air balloon hanging empty in its basket.
"Tomoyo doesn't want to go?"
If given the two choices of wanting to or not wanting to, Zhishi would definitely want to choose the latter.
"Where's Lingya?"
"Me? I don't mind. If Sakura wants to go, then I can come along."
"That's great!" In fact, Sakura herself was a little scared. After all, it was something she had never ridden before, and she felt much more at ease having a friend accompany her.
That being said, school starts tomorrow, and it is still unknown whether or when the hot air balloon parade will come to Tokyo.
The snow on the roadside has melted. The sun has been shining brightly these days, and the bleakness of winter has been melted away by the bright sunshine and turned into scenery.
Looking around, it was an ordinary street scene, but it was the 1970s after all, so to Lingye it always felt a bit old-fashioned, and occasionally she would feel like she was in an old yellowed photo.
"By the way, Reiya, mom said that if you have time recently, please come to our house. The thing you asked Daidoji's research department to make is now ready."
"Research stuff? Oh, a cell phone? And you have a finished product so soon?"
It has only been two or three months since the mobile phone manufacturing technology provided by the Yabo people was delivered, and the data on paper has become a finished product?
When Lingya arrived at Daidoji's house, what was placed in front of her was indeed a touch screen smartphone that was not much different from what she remembered.
This mobile phone, which was supposed to appear thirty years later, appeared in the world thirty years earlier.
"It's already a finished product? That's fast! I thought it would take at least a year or two!"
"Then Lingye, you underestimate our Daidoji Group."
It is not research and development, but pure manufacturing. All the manufacturing processes have been marked on the production drawing. Although it is still a long way to go for industrial production lines, it may take years to complete, but for the laboratory prototype, three months is enough to turn the data on paper into reality.
Most of the hardware production equipment is available in Daido Temple’s laboratories, and the most difficult one is of course the chip.
Ling even asked the Yabo people to provide a nano-scale chip lithography machine. For the Yabo people, it was an outdated and primitive machine. But for the earthlings, it was a subject that would take decades to master.
It was this lithography machine that made the Daidoji Group truly realize the true power behind the daughter of the Oshima family.
It was no longer out of friendship, but had to be viewed as a business partner. More accurately, it was admiration.
After all, the technical content of this machine is a bit scary. It is impossible to be a folk technology, and it even makes people doubt whether it is an existing technology of mankind.
"That machine, could it be that it came from the military?" Aunt Yuan Mei asked cautiously.
"It's a secret."
Of course it was a secret. Yuan Mei just tried to ask. Ling didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to delve into it further.
"We used it, is it really okay?"
Yuan Mei was actually worried about this. Ever since she heard what the head of the laboratory said, the lithography machine was the most confidential technology at the international level, and even the United States had never heard of the concept of nanolithography. It was more than an era ahead, and Yuan Mei couldn't help but feel absurd.
