Maria thought she saw a magic trick, but of course it wasn't a magic trick, so she understood what the eldest lady meant when she said she didn't want a contract or salary.
That is not a human being. It is probably either a god or a monster.
But since he is the eldest lady's friend, it's not surprising.
She wondered if she was unnecessary in this room, if she needed to step away.
But the eldest lady did not let her avoid it.
"Kainal, can you do anything?"
"I'm sorry, Master... No, Miss, I don't have such great power. What I can do is limited to the technology stored in the main brain of the spacecraft."
Kainaer's eyes were evasive, as if she was apologizing for her powerlessness.
God cannot create a stone that he cannot move. Similarly, Kainar cannot create an item that is not in his technology library.
She is just a creation of the witch clan, and is too insignificant compared to her master's power which is greater than the stars.
This is true, but with the technology tree of a level 4 civilization, it can almost be said to be omniscient and omnipotent to the Earth.
Because Ling has never considered anything from the perspective of "I am Gaia".
But she also confirmed that what she had thought before was rigid because it was a manual program, was not the case. It was not rigid, but unfamiliar because of the unknown environment.
It was really like a human girl, after all, she had been on standby for two million years. No, the word standby is not a good word, she had been sleeping for two million years.
It's not surprising to feel scared when you suddenly wake up and face a strange 'master' and a strange world.
"Kaina'er, if you're not used to it, any name will do. I won't force you." Lingye said.
"Master" is "Master", maybe as the mastermind of the spacecraft, this is the rule set. As long as Kaina can get used to it, it will be fine.
Today was not a day off. Ling also changed into the school uniform of Tomoeda Elementary School, a dark sailor suit and a white short skirt.
"Let me introduce myself again. I'm Reiya Oshima."
Oshima Reiya
In fact, Kainar already knew this name a long time ago.
That is Gaia, the highest belief of the civilization that once created her.
From the moment she was born, she knew that she was created to be dedicated to Gaia.
As the highest achievement of spiritual materialization, when she stood in front of him, Kainar could feel the awe-inspiring greatness more clearly than anyone else.
But Kainaer also felt her kindness. She did not regard herself as a god, and was even more peaceful than those ancient witches.
Not Gaia, not the master, but Reiya Oshima.
She is just Oshima Reiya, no one else.
"I see. I'm Kenar Warfield, and I'm happy to serve you, my captain. Lingye, if you don't mind, I'll call you that from now on."
"Well, that's best."
She is Lingye, and there is no need for any other strange names.
Kaina tapped her fingers lightly, and a mobile phone took shape in her hand. It appeared from nothing in front of her eyes in the blink of an eye.
"I modified the design a bit. The production cost and difficulty will be reduced. I wonder if it will be useful."
Although I don’t know why Lingye is interested in such backward technology, what Lingye needs is what she must satisfy.
"That's a real help!"
A few days later, the TAC team
After a peaceful day, Shan Zhong, who was returning from air patrol in the Airo, stepped into the command room and saw everyone eating watermelon.
"Where did the watermelon come from?"
"I bought this when Beidou was patrolling the road. There's still a lot left. Let's eat it together."
Of course Yamanaka won't be polite. Why should he be polite to Beidou?
"It's the season for eating watermelons again. Hmm, it's quite sweet." Shanzhong picked a big piece, took a bite, and was too lazy to spit out the watermelon seeds. He swallowed it directly with the pulp.
"Summer is the season of lush vegetation. Thank the earth for giving us rich fruits."
"The earth gives us fruits, that's autumn, right?" Konno interrupted. "Wild grapes, soft dates, akebia, and the most delicious chestnuts, sugar-roasted chestnuts. I can never get enough of them."
Upon hearing this, Yoshimura, who was also eating watermelon, showed a disgusted expression, which was seen by Konno.
"Why, Yoshimura, you don't like autumn fruits?"
"Not really. When I was a kid I lived in the countryside and there were lots of fruits in the woods in the fall. One time I went to pick some Viburnum and I picked a white violet by mistake."
"Bai Ying? It's highly poisonous, right? As I recall, it paralyzes the motor nerve center and respiratory system."
"Yes, I almost died. I opened my mouth but couldn't breathe. I felt like my whole body was paralyzed. I tried that feeling once and I still remember it."
“So you later studied biology and are now a biologist?”
"Haha." Although it was a joke, if you think about it carefully, maybe this is really the reason.
After being bitten by a snake, Yoshimura instinctively developed aversion to autumn fruits.
"Speaking of which, Captain, I have a friend who is a reporter. He said he wanted to interview the TAC team. I wonder if it's possible." Konno suddenly changed the subject.
"Konno, you used the wrong word. It's 'she', not 'he'." Yoshimura laughed.
Everyone knows that Konno has a journalist friend. She was a woman who contributed articles to the newspaper. They kept in touch after that incident.
"No, it wasn't Junko, it was someone else. Junko's friend wanted to interview the TAC team for a feature story."
"She used to be Miss Kashima, but now she's Junko."
Konno ignored Yoshimura and looked at Captain Long.
"May I, Captain?"
"Konno, you should know that whether to accept the interview is not decided by our TAC combat unit. It needs to be reviewed by the external publicity department."
They are just the Far East base of TAC. The domestic ones are selected and transferred by the Defense Force, so the influence of the Defense Force must be considered to some extent. There is also a direct superior headquarters of TAC abroad.
While we were chatting, TAC's phone rang.
Noriko was also eating watermelon, and there was some juice on her hands, so Beidou went over and answered the phone.
In the past few days, the calls were all about trivial matters. Beidou originally thought that this time would be the same, but the voice on the phone made him serious immediately.
"Captain, this is a call from the space station. The Jupiter II satellite has suddenly lost contact and has also lost its trace in the observation of the ground radar station."
"Jupiter 2? Isn't that the United Nations' global resource observation satellite?"
"Yes."
Generally speaking, such a satellite would not be shot down for military reasons between countries. And even if it was related to aliens, it was a matter for the United Nations and the TAC Paris headquarters, and it should have nothing to do with their Far East Base.
"Where did the satellite lose contact?"
"It's over Tokyo."
Well, it seems they are to blame. Why does everything always happen to them?
"Because there is a synchronous satellite installed by our TAC over Tokyo, the headquarters also sent a telegram, wanting to retrieve the data of that synchronous satellite to see if there were any special circumstances at the time."
"The synchronous satellite over Tokyo? Do we have it?" Captain Long found that he had no impression of it.
Mu Qi coughed and said, "Yes, Captain. It's the one that was launched a few days ago and is listed as a reserve equipment."
"what!"
Indeed.
The satellite, whose manufacturing, launch and use had nothing to do with TAC, was indeed registered under their name.
Although they had no idea about the specific situation of the satellite and did not have any data.
Of course they had to respond to the headquarters' inquiry, and their Far East Base also needed to know what happened at the time.
"Beidou, you know the most about that satellite. I can only ask you to check the data of that satellite."
At that time, Ling communicated with the TAC team through Beidou, and then launched the satellite. It is indeed most appropriate to entrust this matter to Beidou.
"I understand, Captain."
Beidou did not refuse and contacted Lingye soon. However, Lingye only knew that satellites could be used to access the Internet, and she did not know more.
International news of Jupiter 2's disappearance quickly attracted widespread attention.
The satellite disappeared over Tokyo. The satellite itself does not contain any important information. It only observes global hydrological and climate changes. However, if it falls and fails to completely burn up in the atmosphere, it will cause a major accident.
A lump of iron weighing several tons falling from the Earth's orbit would be a disaster if it hit anywhere in Tokyo.
It's Tokyo again. This city is like a magnet, attracting all disasters.
Because of the satellite incident, Ling went to Alice's house again after class.
If you have questions, ask the professionals, and Alice is obviously that professional.
It was still the room that felt like an ice storage room because the air conditioning was turned on too much.
Alice was wearing the same pajamas as last time, kneeling on the bed, making one wonder if she had been kneeling like this for weeks without moving.
"I think it's very rude to comment on someone's clothing as soon as they walk in the door."
"I did not say anything."
Ling had just walked in and hadn't said a word yet.
"But your eyes said, 'How long have you not showered?', 'Do you only have one set of clothes in your closet?'"
Alice is really sensitive. But Ling couldn't refute it because she really thought so.
"I shower every week, and I have plenty of other clothes in my closet. Can we leave that alone? Then let's talk about Jupiter 2."
It's not right to take a shower once a week, right? But -
"How did you know I was here to ask about Jupiter II?"
"I have eyes, so I can see the news even if I don't go out. It's all over the news. The satellite should have disappeared at 16:27 in the afternoon, right?"
"How do you know? I don't even know the exact time."
Ling also asked twice, "How do you know?" She felt like a fool in front of such a smart person. Fortunately, Alice did not ridicule her for this.
