In the early morning, bells rang in the city of Arutyi.

The city is small in size, only about 9 square kilometers, but it is home to nearly 100,000 people, so the houses are very crowded, the widest street is only 3 meters, and the narrowest can only be crossed by turning sideways.

When you come to this small city, you will find that it is actually no different from the slums of some countries.

The Martians here are extremely quick to absorb the culture and technology of the earth.

In the morning, you can use a cottage toothbrush, a clock-like timer, a porcelain with special rock powder burned paper, a spar electric lamp, and so on......

Except that there is no sky, it seems to be a modern town in the dark.

They also have their own unique culture and technology, and they have learned how to extract oxygen from water and minerals, make gas, generate electricity from groundwater and geothermal heat, make batteries from special elements, mine mineral resources, and smelt zuò metal utensils.

They made a four-legged device that resembles a spider and can travel at speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour in steep underground.

They can communicate remotely with guò 'keys', just like mobile phones on Earth.

It only takes a few 'hedron towers' to set up an underground communication network. The magnetic field emitted by these hedrons can also interfere with the Earth's electrical signals.

In terms of diet, like earthlings, they also live on carbohydrated goods, proteins, and lipids.

Eating meat here is a luxury.

This means you'll have to take risks hunting down the mutated creatures, with all sorts of dangers along the way...... Magma. Cave-ins can be life-threatening.

Fortunately, there is also a plant underground that can produce starch, which is their staple food.

The rhizomes of the plant are cut into pieces, steamed, and then dried to make a dry food that tastes a bit like dehydrated apples.

There are many more cultural characteristics of the town, which are different from the earth, and it is difficult to say that it cannot pose a threat to the earth at present.

The local 'mayor' sued the sù Yang Ye that their capital had produced flying machines.

……

"Hello."

Just as Yang Ye was looking out the window and thinking, a little girl on the street found him. And greet Yang Ye in English.

"Hello." Yang Ye smiled and waved his hand. At this time, the girl's mother nodded to Yang Ye and took the girl home.

"Ye, it seems that you are in a good mood."

Jane changed into a loose traditional dress and walked in, and subconsciously looked at the three treasures sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Since following Yang Ye. The Three Treasures seldom spoke. See only with your eyes.

"You look good, too." Yang Ye smiled: "Can you start now?" ”

Jane nodded, "Anytime." The mayor borrowed three cars from us, and we had to send someone to escort them. In addition, we have already contacted Karu, and the Seven Elders have already learned. They ask to be sure to get you safely. ”

"Thank you, I'm looking forward to my trip to Karui City."

……

Karui City, located in the center of the Martian underground city network, is located in the underground plain, covering an area of 75 square kilometers, and the whole space looks like a stomach pouch

On the morning of the 15th, Yang Ye climbed more than 1,000 kilometers on a four-legged bicycle and finally arrived here.

At the entrance and exit of the city, colorful flags were hung high, and a welcome banner with Chinese written on it made him laugh a little:

'Warmly welcome Mr. Yang Ye, the Ambassador of the Earth, to visit WÈN in Kalu. ’

This welcome slogan with a strong Chinese flavor was written by the Great Elder specifically for Mr. Cassie, a scholar of Chinese culture in his own country.

The Chinese on the last letter sent to Yang Ye was also written by him, and Yang Ye recognized the other party's handwriting at a glance.

"Jane, you really know a lot about Chinese culture." Yang Ye looked ahead and smiled.

Jane was quite proud after hearing this, and humbly invited him to go to the Great Elder and the others.

These people are all dressed in the same style of traditional clothing, similar to the priestly robes of Portata, which shows that there is a cultural commonality between the two civilizations.

What is even more surprising is that these elders are all women, and each of them has strong spiritual strength.

Seeing this, the smile on Yang Ye's face instantly stopped.

"Hello distinguished guest, welcome to Tasso."

"Hello distinguished guest, welcome to Augul."

"Hello ......"

Yang Ye responded to the greetings of the elders one by one.

Grand Elder Tasuo smiled: "We were invited to go up to negotiate before, and we were very willing, but we have a rule here that women are not allowed to put their bodies in danger and are not allowed to show their heads, so we can't go up and talk to you." ”

"I see. It seems that we did have a misunderstanding. ”

While speaking, Yang Ye stepped on the aircraft with everyone's invitation.

The design of the aircraft looks like a soap box, with magnetic levitation, and the internal structure is so spacious that the operating platform and display are not visible.

A slight weightlessness sense can be felt at start-up.

……

"Mr. Yang, am I calling you that right?"

"That's right,"

Yang Ye retracted his gaze and looked at the Great Elder.

"Good."

The Great Elder ordered the attendants on the side to step back, and said to Yang Ye: "It's really our honor that Mr. can come, they showed me the video of Mr. and Portata last time he went to Mars, I didn't expect that there was still life on Mars for so many years, this is really our luck." ”

"Sir lives on the ground, you should know that you have a group of human beings rudely intruding into our territory and taking a big attack on our people, I wonder what Sir thinks?"

Yang Ye smiled slightly: "Did you invite me here to talk about territorial matters?" According to the laws of the earth, territory includes a country's land, rivers, lakes, inland seas, territorial seas...... Before you, the New Zealand Government had sworn that the land was theirs, including the place where you now live. ”

"Their citizens shouldn't be breaking the law when they operate on their own land, right?"

"Nonsense! Our ancestors were the first to come here! The second elder retorted.

Yang Ye nodded and said, "Well, the entire continent was yours at that time, but you didn't protect your land well, and besides, your real hometown should be Casal on Mars, right?" ”

"How do you know?" The second elder looked surprised.

Yang Ye said with a smile: "It's not difficult to guess, you are similar to Portata's skin color and bones, and I have been talking to King Casal for a long time on Mars......"

"How is the kingdom now?" The Great Elder asked curiously.

"There have been several catastrophes in the development of civilization, and now it is not as good as you."

As he spoke, Yang Ye told them about what he had seen and heard on Mars.

The rejection and hostility of the six elders towards Yang Ye were also a little less.

Half an hour later, the aircraft arrived at the central square of the city, and the seventh elder Kaiqiu led a group of priest-like maids to greet him in two lines, and the city residents gathered around to watch the excitement.

The square covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters and resembles an unfolded fan, with the palace at the back. The architectural style is almost the same as that of the Casal Palace, but it lacks the grandeur of Casal and has a bit more sense of technology.

In the middle of the square is a lighthouse, which connects with the dome above, like a pillar of heaven.

……

After a brief welcome ceremony, everyone entered the main hall of the palace complex......

The whole process felt like Yang Ye was in a strange country and was warmly welcomed by the locals, but they forgot to talk to the guests, as if they were walking through the form.

At the end of the meal, Yang Ye was arranged to a separate suite, and the next day the elders formally invited Yang Ye to talk.

Basilica.

After Yang Ye took his seat, the Great Elder said, "You didn't neglect your guests yesterday, did you?" ”

"Nope. But to be honest, I still like the direct communication. Yang Ye smiled.

All the elders were slightly embarrassed when they heard this.

The second elder nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's talk." Since you have sent our people back, we will also send your people back. ”

"Is it true that you told us last time that you could help us get back to Mars?"

"Yes."

Yang Ye looked at her and the elders around her and said, "My company is pioneering the aerospace field, and in less than 10 years, it should be able to establish a route between Mars and Earth, and when the time comes, it will be as convenient for you to return to Mars as if you were taking a plane." ”

"It's a great project."

The third elder praised him, and then said proudly, "But in ten years, we will be able to do the same. ”

"Now you know who we are, and we also know your plan to transform Mars, we mean: don't go back to Mars for the time being, you give me a piece of land, and we will go back when Mars is transformed."

"Also, you can help us make arrangements, we hope to communicate with High Priest Portata."

"In return, we'll allow you to use part of Mars in the future."

"Hehe......"

Hearing this, Yang Ye chuckled and said, "Your Excellency, regarding the Mars transformation plan and future land allocation, we have already negotiated with the Martian governments. Doesn't seem to have to go through your permission? ”

"I will tell the New Zealand government and the United Nations about your intention to lease the land. We'll help relay the conversation with the Martian government as well. ”

Hearing Yang Ye's words, the Seventh Elder sneered, "I have long heard that you earthlings are very cunning, and sure enough, this is the case!" When did we say we were going to rent your land! ”

"Don't think we can't see the purpose of you earthlings helping to transform Mars. In fact, they just want to occupy our planet and then exterminate us little by little! ”

"To tell you the truth, we invite you to come and ask you, Mr. Ambassador, to stay here. Do you think we are really interested in your Earth? ”

"You want to keep me and others hostage?" Yang Ye frowned.

As he spoke, he felt his body as heavy as a mountain, and hurriedly hinted at the sedan chair to tell him not to be impulsive.

"So to speak."

The Great Elder smiled, "It's just a cover for us to catch those explorers, and those strange beasts are also driven by us...... The whole purpose is to bring you down. ”

"Rest assured, we won't hurt you, and we won't actively harm humans. It's a good thing that you guys are transforming Mars, but I can't watch you earthlings deceive us fellow Mars. ”
