Neither Chao Beast nor Gaia came out of the water.
Captain Long really wanted to let Beidou go down and take a look, but he couldn't find a reason to do so.
Five minutes, ten minutes, and after a full half hour, the plane's fuel was almost exhausted.
"Captain, how about I drive the Gaara down to take a look?" Beidou asked.
The Airo cannot fight underwater, but it can fly in the water. The TAC base is hidden at the bottom of the Five Lakes, and the Airo takes off from the lake every time it takes off.
"Okay, but be careful."
Captain Long agreed immediately, as if he had been waiting for this sentence.
The Airo dived to the bottom of the lake. Beidou turned several times, but the entire area of water was calm and nothing was found, and there was no sign of a fight.
Beidou had a vague guess.
Could it be that Gaia used the Meta Field at the bottom of the lake and forgot to show up and tell them after the battle?
Ling had indeed completely forgotten about the TAC team. At this moment, she was already standing on the stage.
Yesterday, Tomoyo was the lead singer, and Ling stood between the chorus students as a backup singer. Today, she and Tomoyo swapped places.
Just half an hour ago, she was still fighting against the super beast in an unknown area. Now, half an hour later, she was standing in the middle of the stage where everyone was paying attention.
A little abrupt. But each one is her. Real, not fake.
"Now on stage is the Tokyo Tomoeda Elementary School Choir, singing "May Wind on the Ridge", led by Reiya Oshima."
After the announcement, the concert hall fell silent, waiting for the song to begin.
[The winter snow is waiting for spring. The seeds are waiting for the morning sun.]
Lingye's voice has a unique and transparent quality. When her voice sings the first note, it is very impressive.
The lyrics of this song are in Chinese, and most people would not have been able to understand them. However, as the picture unfolds, everyone can feel the emotion.
Gaia's voice can resonate with people without the need for words, but the listeners only think that it is the music itself that resonates.
Incredible singing that can flow into the heart.
[The twinkling starry sky is waiting to fly. The summer night is waiting for the children to sing. Please believe that good things are on the way. Love will accompany you to where you want to go. ]
Children are waiting to grow up. Although they will find that not all things they encounter are good when they grow up, but before that, the possibilities are endless.
The balloon monsters that take away dreams, the nightmare monsters that corrupt the hearts with fear, these monsters covet the purest hearts of children, and she will use the power of Gaia to destroy them. Do her best to make this world more friendly to children.
[A child riding the wind, holding up the palm of light, I also want to illuminate the world. 】
This light is not Gaia's light, but the light that humans find through their own positive emotions, sacrifices, and efforts.
One day, humans will be able to turn into light by their own power. When that day comes, perhaps she will have completed the mission entrusted to her by the Light of Gaia.
Until then, she will stand there, defending this planet and humanity from all enemies.
This song is sung by her as Oshima Reiya to Tomoyo and Sakura, and also by her as Gaia to all the children waiting to grow up.
I look forward to the day in the future when the light of humanity and the light of Gaia will shine together and bloom in this secluded corner of the Orion arm of the universe.
Chapter 220 Game Company
In February, spring has not yet arrived, but the breath of early spring can be vaguely felt.
Before the cherry blossoms bloom, the strawberries Maria planted in the greenhouse are ready for picking. The rows of ridges are covered with large patches of green leaves, and the big red strawberries are bright and lovely.
Mr. Ueki also helps take care of Miss Maria's strawberry garden.
Strawberries in the wild usually mature in May or June when the weather warms up, but strawberries in the greenhouse mature in February or March. When the cold winter is over and the bright spring sunshine begins to shine on the earth, they will begin to bear fruit.
But it’s still a little early for the strawberries in this greenhouse.
"About half a month early?" Ueki was a little surprised. He also took care of strawberries on a regular basis. Having worked in gardening for a lifetime, he knew the flowering period and fruit ripening period very well.
This year is not a warm spring, and there was a heavy snowstorm during the New Year. I thought the strawberries would be late, but unexpectedly they are earlier.
"Maybe it was the eldest lady who was talking to me. She asked me last week when the strawberries would be ripe. She wanted to pick them with her friends."
Maria didn't mind. She was used to some magical things in this manor.
Ueki was still a little confused.
Is there any connection between the eldest lady's mumbling and the strawberries actually being ripe?
"Because the strawberries like the young lady." Maria said with a smile. Because the young lady wanted to see them, they rushed to mature.
It was like a fairy tale, but in Maria's eyes, the eldest daughter was a beautiful fairy tale. Just like Persephone in Greek mythology, when she was sad, the flowers and trees withered, but once she walked into the world, all things revived and spring returned to the earth.
For these strawberries, Ling also organized a strawberry picking activity and invited Tomoyo, Sakura, and several familiar classmates in the class.
"Xiaoying, you can also call your good friends from class to come along. There are plenty of strawberries, enough for everyone to pick together."
The strawberry shed wasn't very big, but there were indeed a lot of fruits on the ground. Not to mention four or five people, even ten or twenty people couldn't finish them all at once.
Maria had to pick the remaining strawberries. The fruit in the manor was not sold to the public, and if they could not finish eating them, they had to be made into jam for preservation. Now they helped to pick them, which also reduced Maria's work.
But even though Ling said so, Sakura couldn't think of any classmates she had a good relationship with in the class. In the end, she only found the class leader Nibutani, the only person in the class who could talk to her and greeted her when they met.
However, Squad Leader Nibutani is friendly to everyone and has an extremely good temper.
Nibutani Morika, who has an overly good temper, was obviously shocked when she first came to Oshima's house. She couldn't tell which one was more shocking, the mature orchard, the wide horse farm, or the endless forest, but it was the castle that only appeared in fairy tales!
"This...is this the friend's house you mentioned?"
Nibutani originally thought that the friend Sakura was talking about was the daughter of an orchard farmer, who invited everyone to pick strawberries when they were ripe.
Sakura, who was usually taciturn in class, rarely invited them, so it was hard for her to refuse. Besides, there was probably no child who didn't like strawberries, which seemed to be a fruit that represented happiness as if its name itself.
But she didn't expect that Sakura's friend, Oshima Reiya, who played Freya in Cardcaptor, was the 'Oshima' that everyone in Tokyo was familiar with!
She had originally brought two bags of Niigata rice as a gift for her first visit, but this was too much for her to give away.
"Good day, Squad Leader Nibutani. Sakura will be in your care from now on."
Wait, is there something wrong with the tone of voice when someone is taking care of his daughter? Nibutani thought in surprise.
In addition to Reiya, the host, there was also a beautiful older sister in a maid outfit. Is this probably a personal maid? It gave people the feeling of "as expected of a big family".
"Good day...good day"
"Oh, is that rice from Niigata? I heard that Niigata's Koshihikari rice is very famous."
"Huh? Oh, yes, this is Uonuma Koshihikari rice from Niigata."
The two bags of rice that I had wanted to hide behind my back out of shame and pretend I hadn't brought with me were brought to the front.
"That's great, Maria. Please ask Chef Caibo to use this rice to cook today."
"Okay, Miss, I'll go and explain it right away."
The souvenir was accepted by the host. What's going on? This kid is so good at chatting! Nibutani realized that she was not embarrassed at all.
Sakura, who came with him, was still unaware of anything. Her stupid look made Nibutani at a loss for words.
On the other side, Maria took the rice and felt her hand sink. The weight was beyond her imagination. She, an adult, could hardly bear it. She looked at the packaging and found that it was 7.5 kilograms, two bags of 30 kilograms. As an elementary school girl, she was quite strong.
"Well, it's still weird for classmates outside of school to call me 'class representative'. If you can, just call me Mori Xia."
Calling someone by their first name is a sign of affection.
"Okay, the same goes for Morixia, you can just call me Ling. Since there are still a few classmates who haven't come yet, let's go to the strawberry farm together after everyone is here. Please wait for a moment."
Chiyo hasn't arrived yet, and neither have several other classmates. There's still half an hour left until the agreed time.
A maid brought tea and pastries. Although Morixia had already had breakfast in the morning, it was hard to refuse such exquisite snacks.
"Miss, can I bother you for a moment?"
An old man dressed as a butler came over. It was Butler Jianye.
"Sorry, I have to excuse myself for a moment. Please feel free to come here and treat it as your own home."
"Please go ahead." Senxia said quickly. Although she said that, she still felt that it was difficult for her to treat such a castle as her home. She had never thought of such a thing even in her dreams.
Looking back, my childhood princess dream was about a castle that was just like the inflatable game castle in the mall, so petty.
Jianye came to disturb Ling for something important.
"It's about the entertainment company. The company's office location has been determined. We have rented an office building in Edogawa District. If necessary, we can buy this building in the future. The property owner also wants to sell it. If it is a full transaction, we can make concessions on the payment."
Edogawa Ward is the easternmost district of Tokyo, adjacent to Chiba Prefecture. It is named after the ancient Edogawa River that flows through it.
Lingye's impression of the Edogawa District was only the "Indian Village" mentioned in later generations. It was said that there were many Indians living there, and it was almost occupied by Indians. However, that was a rumor after the new century, and she didn't know the current situation there.
“Are house prices low there?”
“Compared to land prices in Tokyo, it’s really very low.”
"Then buy it."
"I understand."
Without even asking for the specific price, the deal involving an entire office building was finalized. Although she knew that Japan's real estate bubble would collapse in the future, it was just an office building, not worth much, and Lingye didn't care about it.
She is more concerned about this entertainment company.
"Regarding the operation of the company, Miss, you said you want to recruit talents in computer programming, right?"
Jianye didn't quite understand. Didn't entertainment companies sign movie stars and singers? What did that have to do with computers?
It really shouldn't be called an entertainment company, it should be an Internet technology company, but there is no such category yet.
Before that, Jianye only knew about calculators, which were used by accountants in companies to quickly calculate results. He had never even heard of words like "computer" or "program".
The electronic computer was invented in the 40s, and it has only been to years. The integrated circuit was invented only more than years ago, and today's computers are indeed not affordable.
More than six years ago, aliens began to invade the Earth, and Earth's technology began to boom.
The TAC team now has better computers, otherwise there would be no new weapons. There are even sub-light speed rockets that can enter the dark universe, planet decay bombs that can blow up the evil star Koala, and V7 missiles that use antimatter.
Ling also suspected that the TAC team's research and development department had even used the legendary quantum computer with infinite computing power, otherwise it would be completely unable to support the huge computing requirements of the development of such weapons.
However, these are limited to the military and have not been put into civilian use.
So much so that among the public, the mobile phones manufactured by Daidoji Company are the most advanced, even ahead of computers by several generations.
Of the talents that can be recruited from the public now, no one is sure to master the programming languages of the future. But if you don't know, you can learn. The problem with computers is always the hardware. If the hardware can be achieved, human imagination is unlimited.
Nanochips can not only be used in mobile phones, but can also be used in computer development.
