Under the starry night, there was silence on Octopus Island.

Listening to the familiar sound of the waves crashing against the shore, the roar of beasts in the woods, the babbling of the stream outside the city, and the laughter of some people, everything seemed so beautiful.

It was the first night Manru and Trist had spent on the island in the middle of the mysterious sea, which they felt was a bit long.

It's just that today's experience is unforgettable for each of them.

They were brought here as captives by the natives, where they met the city-state and their king on Octopus Island, and had an increasingly smooth exchange with them.

After Luman and Trist had spoken to the old king in the palace of the royal palace, the old king was very kind and polite, entertained them, and provided them with food.

Although the food didn't taste very good, after getting used to it, it did have a different flavor.

It's just that after they had dinner, they were arranged to stay in pairs in several courtyards in the south of the city.

Although it was a temporary residence, there were indigenous guards guarding it outside, and all their belongings were confiscated when they became prisoners, and they could not move beyond the gate of the courtyard here, in fact, they knew that they were under house arrest.

Manru and Trist were placed in the same room, and they did not receive any abuse or interrogation from each other.

Only now they don't have the slightest sense of sleep.

Looking out through the window, Trist saw Manlu lying flat on a very hard wooden bed, and couldn't help but say, "Manru, although we have discovered this island hidden in that mysterious sea, he will be a great discovery that will change the current pattern, but listen to the old king. It's been here for hundreds of years and we can't get out, what are we going to do, I still have my family, I don't want to be stuck here......"

"No, we can get out!" Manru shook his head, very affirmative.

Trist seemed very moved. Then he asked, "How shall we escape, perhaps tomorrow we will ask the old king to let us out of here, but we have no boat, how can we get out?" ”

Manlu said: "The old king said that for hundreds of years there was a barrier at the edge of the sea on this island, and the reason why they couldn't get out was because they didn't understand science, and since they could get in here, they could naturally get out, but they didn't know how to use it." But it is also difficult for the rest of the world outside to find it, which is the main reason why this small island nation has been closed for hundreds of years......"

Speaking of this, Manlu seemed very calm and said, "After talking with the old king before, I think that the old king seems to be very eager to obtain information about the outside world, and he is very eager to communicate with the outside world to change the situation of poverty and backwardness and lack of materials on this island.

And from the plain dress of this old king. And judging by the politeness of conversation, this should be a good king. I think if we sincerely ask for it, he will not embarrass us and let us go......"

Knock knock!

However, just then, the conversation between Manru and Trist is interrupted by a knock on the door.

When Trist opened the door, he saw a native guard, whom they had seen before, the one who had been silent and inconspicuous beside the old king.

Manlu then opened his mouth in Chinese and asked, "This gentleman guard." What's the matter with you? ”

The guard said, "The king wants to see you two alone, come with me!" ”

Manru and Trist glanced at each other, surprised in their eyes, and before they could say anything more, they followed the guard out of the courtyard. They came to the place where the old king lived.

The old king lived at the back of the palace, where there were no three palaces and six courtyards as they imagined, and there were no concubines and other such women, and even since they came to this island, the number of women they had seen was not very large, which should be the main reason for the sparse population of this island.

When they had entered the house, the old king sat quietly at a table full of the things they had brought with them when they came.

After Lu Man saluted, he said, "Honorable king, may I ask why you summoned the two of us in the middle of the night?" ”

The old king said: "I have taken a look at the novelty things you brought here, presumably they are all products from the outside world, but the things you two use are all research items, judging from these, presumably both of you are scholars engaged in research?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The old king said: "You should also see when you come to the island, the population of this island is not large, and this is also a problem that has been bothering our royal family for many years, I would like to ask the two of you, is there any way you can increase the population of this island?" ”

In fact, such a question is a very simple question for Manlu and Trist, and now that there are more and more people on the whole earth, and the living space is getting smaller and smaller, immigration is actually the easiest way.

However, they also realized that this was an isolated island, without advanced science, and the conditions of medical care and food hygiene must have been very poor, as can be judged by the coarse food they ate.

So to solve the problems on this island, it is clear that they need to be in contact with the outside world and integrate into the world before they can do it.

However, Manlu also seemed to see an opportunity for them to leave here from this question, so he said: "King, in fact, to solve the population problem here, if only from the isolated island itself, the technology is backward, the level of technology and production capacity are low, and there are almost no facilities such as health care, it is very difficult to change this situation.

Unless this island can integrate into the outside world, communicate with the outside world, take advantage of some of the island's resources to introduce foreign technology and equipment and investment, and encourage immigration, I think the problem that bothered you will still be easy to solve......"

The old king looked very interested, and said, "Oh, then, do you have a way to get out of this sea barrier?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, the sea barrier you are talking about. It should be a kind of space fluctuation energy buffer zone formed by the hedging of the geocentric magnetic field and the continental shelf plate, as long as a reasonable scientific method is used, it is still possible to find a way to escape, after all, there have been many ships that have strayed into the edge of this sea area and were directly taken out by that energy conveyor......

The old king said, "That's great, since you have the means, if you want to get out of here." I could have returned your boat and the items and utensils I was carrying and let you go, but I have one condition? ”

Trist looked a little urgent and said, "I don't know what kind of conditions, what does His Excellency the King need us to do?" ”

The old king said: "We don't know what the outside world is like now, whether it is peace or war, so we need to know the outside world, and we are eager to trade with the outside world in exchange for what we need, if you can leave this sea, I hope that when you get there, you can help me send a few letters to the heads of state of some countries with whom my ancestors have had friendly relations......

Trist was only able to get out of here now, hearing that the old king had just asked them to deliver a few letters. With their position in the scientific community, it was easy to do, and even if they agreed.

Manlu thought about it a little more, and couldn't help but say, "Your Excellency, before we leave, can you allow us to tour the scenery here on your island and take some photos to take out?" ”

"Of course, I'll ask the guards to take you there early tomorrow morning. I give you four hours to do as you please. However, some of the jungles on the island are infested with wild beasts, so you must be careful, and it's better not to run around! ”

Both Manlu and Trist were overjoyed, and after thanking him, Manlu said he wanted his digital camera back, even though he would love to get everything else back. But not too greedy, with a digital camera he can take some of the photos he wants to study.

The old king did not embarrass him, and returned the camera to Manru.

After the Manlu and the men thanked them again, the king asked the guards to take them away.

But after Manru and Trist left the palace, the old king suddenly wiped his face. Immediately, after a layer of biomass skin was revealed, Yu Xiaohu's young face was immediately revealed.

At this time, a biological human transformed guard walked to Yu Xiaohu's side and said, "Boss, these people have been secretly placed on their bodies, and their conversations and other information in the house have been monitored and recorded!" ”

Yu Xiaohu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Take them around the island early tomorrow morning, and deliberately expose some valuable resources that have been arranged long ago for them to discover."

I have observed that the minds of those adventurers are very complicated, and they must be greedy, and they will be tempted to see that the gold on the island is worth more than the outside, and that it can make them rich completely, and after they are gone, they will certainly make a move, and secretly monitor their movements......"

"Yes, boss!" The guards answered, and then withdrew.

Yu Xiaohu has no intention of resting, he deliberately put these people into this multi-dimensional sea area today, and captured them back, just to let these people have this experience and major discoveries, and after going back, they will reveal the secrets of this multi-dimensional sea area through side indirect means.

In addition, Yu Xiaohu has long been prepared for these people to take out the so-called letters, no matter who they are, the content of those letters will inevitably be exposed.

The reason why these people were allowed to visit this island was that Yu Xiaohu was naturally not afraid that after these people left, they would attract troops or agents and spies sent by certain countries to spy on intelligence.

Because no matter what kind of people those countries sent, if they didn't have Yu Xiaohu's deliberate permission, they wouldn't have had a chance to come in at all.

After all, those energy base stations all over Octopus Island are not decorations, how can it be possible for these people to break through the monitoring and defense line of the energy base station so easily and come to Octopus Island.

……

Early the next morning.

As Yu Xiaohu expected, Manlu and Trist were very excited to get a rare opportunity to visit the island and leave it immediately.

It can be said that Manru and Trist had insomnia last night.

Early in the morning, the old king's guards came to their resting place, and saw that Manlu had put batteries on his digital camera and was taking pictures of the buildings and the natives here.

The guards did not stop Manlu from taking pictures, and when the men were ready, they led them out of the courtyard where they were under house arrest and began to tour the ancient city.

It's just that although the scenery of such a city is beautiful, it is not what these people yearn for, and the scientists like Manlu want to find substances or elements that are valuable for research, as well as the environment around this island that is not quite the same as the outside world.

But what the adventurers saw was different, they saw that the trees here were of very high quality, everything was pristine, and in some places there seemed to be mineral deposits.

Especially when they came to the foot of the mountain in the north, one of the adventurers stumbled upon several pieces of rare ore of high value, and even found a gold mine, which made the greed of these people even more hot.

Not only those adventurers, but also Manlu discovered some extremely rare elements and some things of great scientific value.

It's just a pity that the things they found can't be taken away, and the guards don't allow them to take them privately, but the anticipation in their hearts is even more intense.

The size of the island is so large that they have no helicopters or convenient means of transportation, so they can only visit one corner of the island.

Manlu and Trist analyzed the island based on its ecological environment and geographical distribution structure, and found that the island was very young, but they did not have the corresponding information, but they could not confirm the time and cycle of the island's formation.

Time passed quickly, and these people visited for about five hours with different thoughts, which also gave them a preliminary understanding and understanding of this island, and recorded the distribution of resources on this island and the original ecological environment.

Especially those adventurers, when they heard the news that the old king was going to let them go, they were excited, and they privately found the guard, saying that they wanted to trade with the island in the future, help the people on the island improve their lives, they would transport large quantities of food and other materials here in exchange for the gold mines here, and help them replace the dilapidated daily utensils used in those days.

Hearing the purpose expressed by these adventurers, the guard did not move, and his face only showed a little interest.

But the more this happened, the more it made several adventurers feel that it was funny, so they kept persuading them on the way back, and even gave the guard promises and benefits in private, but the guard reluctantly agreed, and asked them to keep it a secret.

Several adventurers looked very excited when they saw that their goal had been achieved.

When they were ready to pack up and board the ship, they were already fantasizing about getting a large amount of cheap supplies outside, and quietly smuggling them here in exchange for precious treasures such as gold mines and antiques, a sale that was simply a windfall profit, and made them quickly become rich.

And Manru and Trist didn't have those lustful thoughts, but just thought that after leaving, they would do the things entrusted to the old king.

So, with all sorts of thoughts, the group was sent away on the same ship on which they had been seated. (To be continued......)
