Chapter 155: Formal Meeting
"History of the Tang Dynasty": "In September of the first year of Zhenguan, Tubo and the Western Regions raised 200,000 troops to rebel. In November of the first year of Zhenguan, the Tubo coalition army was completely wiped out. Songtsen Gampo was defeated and fled, and Lu Dongzan was captured. Taizong set up the Anxi capital to protect the palace in Qiuzi, and since then the Western Regions have been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. (For details, please see "Science Fiction Datang Heroes")
Songtsen Gampo, who only led more than 1,000 remnants of troops to flee back to Tibet, could no longer pose a threat, and if Tibet was not on the plateau, then the history of Tibet would also come to an end in this year.
As the absolute protagonist, the bearded guest can be said to be out of the limelight, and the four characters of "Dragon King of the Angry Sea" have reached the point of stopping crying in the Western Regions. And the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty had slipped back to the Black Pine Forest base on the eve of the battle. After asking Li Shimin for a long vacation, he disappeared.
Now Datang is in its infancy in all aspects, and it will take at least two years to get on the right track, with him or not. So Wenyi is going to use this time to visit the Atlantean who calls himself "Arthur". This is a definite Quaternary civilization in the history of the previous life, that is, a civilization that has not been studied and understood in the developed 23rd century!
The coordinates given to him by Arthur have been translated, 32°20′ north latitude and 64°45′ west longitude, is it very familiar? That's right, this is the famous Bermuda triangular coordinates!
In my previous life, as a new-century college student who took interstellar exploration as his mission, the Bermuda Triangle, a mysterious place on earth, must be explored. But after a carpet search by generations of explorers, there were no major discoveries other than the discovery of some ancient buildings covered with coral and seaweed in the Bermuda Triangle. As far as literature and art know, the Atlantean civilization is under the Atlantic Ocean near Europe and the Strait of Gibraltar, and it is not impossible that the two are connected.
With a clear location, everything is much easier, and with the constraints of the perverted "Near-Earth Flight Law" that is not yet in the future, the literature and art have arrived near Colombia in just two days. This meeting with Arthur will be the first official contact between two different era civilizations in the history of the earth, and Literature and Art do not want to lose the face of the Fifth Age civilization in front of their predecessors. Therefore, it is very necessary to take a bath, change clothes, eat and drink enough.
Take off the battle armor, fade the dust on Xiao Nei's body in the clear water, change into a light cyan gold carved silk collared gown, step on black Shu brocade silk shoes, and then stroke the short hair of three or seven points in a chic manner. Wenyi looked at the reflection in the water and couldn't help but say secretly: "What a handsome little handsome guy in the Tang Dynasty!" It was just perfect! ”
Just when literature and art were stinking, an elliptical aircraft with a white body crossed the sky and reached the front of Wenyi. It had no pulp, no wings, no noise, and just flew and landed silently. This alone shows that its technology is already several notches higher than any civilization technology that he knows.
The side door of the aircraft opened, and Li Yuanba, who had a one-sided relationship, walked out with a smile, made an invitation gesture to Wenyi and said, "I came to greet the distinguished guests on the order of the teacher, please." ”
Literature and art settled down, and bent over: "How can Yi He De dare to come to his father-in-law, and the son-in-law is afraid." ”
Li Yuanba stepped forward to help Wenyi: "Let's talk about the family matter between us later, my current identity is an Atlantis Earth Observer, you don't have to be so polite." Hurry up and get on the boat, the teacher is already waiting for you. ”
Literature and art are not polite people, and when he saw his father-in-law's serious appearance, he didn't talk nonsense and followed him on this magical spaceship. This spaceship is not only simple on the outside, but also has a minimalist style on the inside, with only two seats in the cabin, a huge screen, and nothing else, no instruments, no buttons, no joysticks.
After the hatch closed automatically, Li Yuanba sat on the left seat and said directly: "Return." "Wenyi felt a slight shock, it should be the vibration of the aircraft when it left the ground, and then I didn't feel anything unusual, there was no push back feeling of acceleration, and there was no sense of pressure to take off. Wenyi looked at the picture of the rapid retreat on the big screen and asked curiously: "Father-in-law, what kind of power does this aircraft use?" So smooth. ”
Li Yuanba smiled and said: "This is the Flying Bird 1523 near-earth vehicle, which uses a wireless transmission device, which is the latest technology of Atlantis, specially designed for near-ground transportation, and has the advantages of small size, fast speed, and no pollution. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for Atlantis to be like your big white goose? ”
Literature and art's eyes lit up: "Wireless transmission? So where is your power source? ”
Li Yuanba pointed to the sky: "We have an experimental station in space, which has a dark matter engine, which can carry out point-to-point precise energy transmission through light. You should ask my teacher for details. ”
Before the two could chat, the aircraft had already stopped on a scenic island. The old man in the white robe still had a long beard and pointed ears, standing happily in front of him, like the legendary "white-robed mage" Gandalf. The old man spread his arms with pointed ears and smiled, "Welcome to the Atlantis Earth Observatory. ”
Wenyi stepped forward and hugged Arthur warmly and said with a smile: "The first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wenyi, meets Mr. Arthur." ”
Arthur said, "Let's just do it here, don't be so formal." Let's go inside and talk. ”
Literature and Art followed Arthur as he walked inside and observed the surroundings, this is a very beautiful island, located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the area is not large, you can see the edge at a glance, but it does not have the humidity of an ordinary island. I don't feel the high temperature of the direct sun, and the temperature and humidity are controlled very comfortably. There is only one small villa on the island, two stories high, which is as white as No. 1523 Flying Bird, simple and generous, round everywhere, not as clear as the Tang Dynasty house. The living room on the first floor is only a few soft and snow-white... The dumplings, well, are like enlarged rice balls, placed on the ground at random, and the floor and wall are like one, and there is no splicing gap at all. Literature and art searched for a long time but did not find a light source, but the room was still bright. The low-end stuff like the air conditioner is definitely not visible.
Arthur sat down on a rice ball very casually, and the rice ball automatically turned into a comfortable chair to hold Arthur steadily. Li Yuanba's rice balls are the same, and he also learned to do literature and art, but the rice balls were sat on a futon by him...
Arthur laughed when he saw the dilemma of literature and art, and the image of the wise old man in the heart of literature and art suddenly collapsed, it turned out that this old man was not a serious person, so he played me first at the beginning!
Arthur was satisfied, and then he explained: "I'm sorry, I forgot to give you guest permission, my things need permission before they can be used at will." After explaining, he said: "Tony, hurry up and set permissions for our guests, well, let's give second-level permissions first." ”
Li Yuanba was stunned and looked at Arthur with some surprise. Although I don't know how powerful the second-level authority is, it must be very high according to common sense, otherwise how could my father-in-law be so surprised?
Seeing the two of them like this, Arthur explained with a smile: "Don't be so surprised, Yuanba, your son-in-law is in a special situation, and it is not too much to give second-level permissions." Let me reintroduce myself, my full name is Alice Arthur, and I am the director of the Atlantis Earth Observatory, a known Quaternary civilization on Earth. It is mainly responsible for observing the development process of civilization in the new era of the earth. This is Li Yuanba, my student and an observer of Atlantis, who is mainly responsible for walking and observing the new civilization. ”
After Wenyi tinkered with his own rice balls, he also introduced it seriously: "My name is Wenyi, and I am currently the first prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the twelfth known dynasty of the Fifth Age civilization, but I am a time-traveler from after 1600. ”
Arthur nodded: "Through time and space, this is a technology that we have not broken so far, so your civilization will develop very quickly in the future." In just 1600 years, time can be manipulated. ”
Wenyi shook his head: "It's very strange that I crossed this time, I was brought here by a stone slab with my palm print, and I didn't use our technology to come back here. Our technology is only in the middle and upper level of the second-level cosmic civilization, and has not yet reached the third-level civilization. ”
Arthur: "That was very fast, it took us 3,000 years to go from the Stone Age to the Age of Technology, another 1,000 years to achieve interstellar crossing, and another 1,000 years to develop real genetic modification technology. In the end, because of the greedy and tyrannical Nashwars attracted the greedy and tyrannical Nashwars during the exploration of the universe, the civilization was almost destroyed. Those of us who survived wandered the universe for more than 500 years to get to Earth, and eventually it took us thousands of years to rebuild our civilization. As a result, a monstrous flood sank us to the bottom of the sea, and we had no choice but to wander again in the universe to find a true home suitable for our survival. And I stayed on Earth to leave the last spark for our civilization, an observatory that holds all the knowledge of Atlantis and our genetic sequence. ”
Wenyi couldn't help but interrupt: "Flood? How could your technology be destroyed by a flood? ”
Arthur smiled bitterly: "In your words, this is a matter of metaphysics, we are not the indigenous inhabitants of the earth, this world is repulsive to us, if it is only a short stay, it is not a big problem, if you want to develop unscrupulously like in the home planet, it is definitely not possible, that flood only flooded the continent where we are, and did not cause us too much harm." But we realized that the world no longer welcomes us, and if we ignore its warnings, then it will be followed by even more violent retaliation, so we choose to leave. ”
Literature and art became more curious: "Are you still superstitious? ”
Arthur: "It's not superstition, you have to know that the end of technology is theology, it's not a joke. The Tertiary civilization of the earth, the Muria civilization, was completely wiped out because it violated the way of heaven. ”
