Chapter 2: Secrets of the Earth
Early the next morning, Luo Xingyu woke up, he packed his tent backpack, and immediately walked towards Alpad's spaceship.
It was already dawn, and Alpad was already up and moving on the grass outside the boat.
I couldn't tell what color his skin color was last night, but during the day, it turned out to be red, and after a night's rest, he looked much better and majestic.
Luo Xingyu chatted with him for a while, and then prepared to leave. They entered the spaceship, Alpad launched the spacecraft to rise into the air, Luo Xingyu took out the satellite phone and pointed in the direction of the United States, and the spacecraft flew in the direction of the United States.
The cockpit is not large, except for one side of the operation panel, there is nothing else to see, and there is a transparent window about 70 centimeters wide around the entire cabin on the bulkhead, and you can see the outside scene in 360 degrees from inside the ship.
On the way, Luo Xingyu asked Alpad again about the detailed questions he had forgotten to ask or didn't ask last night, such as how he read the language information in his head and how they could fly hundreds of light-years in a short time. Alpad showed him a few sucker-like contacts connected to his hand, the contacts were connected to a signal converter on his body by wires, this converter could read the language information in Luo Xingyu's brain, convert it into brainwave signals and then input it into his brain, Luo Xingyu didn't know what the principle was, and felt very amazing.
Regarding the question of how to fly hundreds of light-years in a short time, Alpard told him that they could shield gravity into the virtual space-time teleportation, as for what is the principle of virtual space-time and teleportation, because it is too complicated, Alpard only said a rough idea, plus he is a soldier, not a scientist, and he can't explain the principles and formulas very clearly, just like human pilots don't necessarily know how to make airplanes, Luo Xingyu understood and didn't ask again.
Since the hull of the rescue boat is made of absorbing material, it was not intercepted along the way.
After flying for about half a day, Luo Xingyu saw a slender belt at the end of the vast ocean under the porthole, that was North America, and they had arrived.
Since Alpad did not want to fly into the densely populated continent and directly contact the U.S. government, he turned on the transmitter to emit electromagnetic waves, constantly emitting electromagnetic waves, and piloted the spacecraft to fly around the coastline of the United States.
It didn't take long for two small dots to appear outside the window, they flew over one left and one right, they were two American fighters, they came over and sandwiched the small spaceship in the middle, the fighters were so close that you could almost see the expression of the pilot in the porthole.
The pilot of one of the fighters gestured through the cockpit to ask them to follow his orders to fly, and Arpard understood this without explanation, and he flew with the fighter plane in the spaceship, so the fighter flew towards the continental United States with the small spaceship on the left and right.
After a while, they entered the interior and came to the sky above a military base in the mountains, Luo Xingyu roughly judged from the satellite positioning and the terrain seen from the air, this is the 51st District, the most secret military base in the United States!
The fighter planes guided them to a stop on an apron in front of which there was already a circle of heavily armed American soldiers.
When Alpad and the others walked out of the cabin, and when Luo Xingyu came out, the U.S. military probably didn't expect an earthling to come down from the spaceship, and they were all taken aback and looked at him in surprise. An officer who greeted him quietly pulled Luo Xingyu aside and asked him in a low voice Are you being held hostage, Luo Xingyu said no, he volunteered to accompany the aliens, and the officer looked at him in confusion.
By this time the U.S. forces had searched Arpad's body, and the group led them toward a tall building on the tarmac, where the soldiers were escorting them rather than escorting them.
After they entered the building, the U.S. military wanted to separate Luo Xingyu from Alpad, Luo Xingyu wanted to join the talks, but the U.S. military disagreed, helpless, Luo Xingyu had to say goodbye to Alpad, they hugged each other, Luo Xingyu hoped that Alpad would come to him if he had a chance in the future, Alpad nodded and agreed, and after saying goodbye, the U.S. military took Alpad to another place.
Luo Xingyu was taken to an office on the second floor, where he was received by a gray-haired officer with a three-star grade on his shoulder.
The white-headed officer first asked him why he came with the aliens, and then asked him where he met the aliens, whether the aliens had other companions, etc., and Luo Xingyu answered him truthfully one by one. The officer was silent for a while after hearing this, and then smiled and thanked Luo Xingyu, he was very grateful to Luo Xingyu for accompanying the aliens, the matter was important, he had no way to thank him publicly, so he could only express his gratitude privately, and then he discussed with the adjutant in a low voice, saying that he had nothing to ask, and the adjutant would arrange everything that followed and motioned to the adjutant to take Luo Xingyu out. Before leaving, Luo Xingyu asked them to treat Alpad well, release his compatriots and help them go back, Alpad is a civilized alien, and he wants them to make friends with aliens, eliminate misunderstandings, and not cause disputes and troubles, the officer said after hearing that he knew, and they would deal with it properly, and after speaking, the adjutant took Luo Xingyu out.
Outside, the adjutant said that they had arranged Arpad properly, that they would take care of his affairs, that it was inconvenient for the base to keep him here, that they would send him back to China through civil aviation channels, that they would be responsible for all the formalities and costs, and that they could also give him a part of the reward to thank him for accompanying the aliens. Luo Xingyu asked to see Alpad again before leaving, but the officer said that it was inconvenient, they still had a lot to deal with, and they could not meet this request. Although Luo Xingyu was very reluctant, there was no way, in addition, he had already helped Arpard reach the United States, his mission had been completed, and there was no point in him staying, so he had to let the adjutant arrange for him to leave.
Before leaving the base, the American personnel checked his backpack and mobile phone, which made Luo Xingyu very annoyed, but what made him even more annoyed was that he remembered that he didn't take a photo with Alpad, nor did he take pictures of the spacecraft, because he didn't like to show off selfies by nature, and he didn't expect to be separated from Alpad so soon, and he couldn't help but regret it, but now it's too late to regret it (he only remembered later, maybe this is also the reason why the U.S. military can let him leave safely).
The adjutant gave him all the formalities needed to return to China, and gave him a sum of cash as a reward, he did not refuse the reward, on the one hand, he brought money really not much, on the other hand, he also wanted to play in the United States for a few more days, and he also needed money, he happened to have a friend in junior high school in the United States, he didn't want to return to China so early, he wanted to go to him to play and then return to China, he told the adjutant what he thought, and the adjutant asked his superiors for instructions, promised him, and told him to keep everything secret (it's useless not to keep it secret, Because Luo Xingyu didn't have any evidence to prove that he had met aliens), he changed the date of his visa.
The adjutant sent him out of the base, dropped him down in the town outside the base, and left.
Luo Xingyu left the town by looking for a car and went to the city where his friend was.
His childhood friend, who lives in Los Angeles and is studying for preparatory studies in the United States, was very surprised by Luo Xingyu's arrival. Luo Xingyu had no photos and no other evidence, in order not to make his friend feel that he was a cowhide king or a psychopath, he said that he had come to the United States to participate in the summer camp, and it was over, and he remembered him, so he came to have fun, this reason was reasonable, and his friend did not ask.
Luo Xingyu played happily in the United States for more than a week, he didn't know how Alpad and his compatriots were doing, whether they could successfully return home, even if they could successfully return to their hometown, maybe Alpad would never come to Earth again, then they would never see each other, and the experience of their encounter could only stay in memory forever.
The night before returning to China, it was late at night, Luo Xingyu was sleeping, and suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ears, which came from the house. He thought it was strange and found that the sound came from his backpack, he opened the backpack and found in a corner a metal ball the size of a Baoding ball with an ordinary appearance, this ball was not available to him, the sound was made by it, and it was still vibrating. He saw something similar to a button on the sphere and pressed it, the sphere opened, and a shiny pedestal rose, and a semi-circular ball protruded from the pedestal, glowing with a faint light, and it made a sound: "Luo Xingyu, Luo Xingyu, is it you?" "It's Alpad's voice!
"It's me, Alpad, how are you, where are you now?"
"I'm still in the base, and they've imprisoned me under the pretext of protection."
"Fuck it, how could this be! --Then how can you call me (this thing can only call a phone)? How could this stuff end up in my bag. ”
"This communicator was secretly put in your bag when I left, so I didn't tell you, I subdued the guards here, I can get my little spaceship back, I can come out right away, I need help, are you still in this country?"
"I'm still here."
"How far is it from base?"
"About three or four hundred kilometers, not far."
"That's good, I'll fly out now, you wait for me outside in a no-man's land, take this communicator, don't turn it off, I'll come to you."
"Okay, I'll be right away." Luo Xingyu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately packed his backpack, left a note on the table, did not wake his friend, and then flew away from his friend's house and ran down the street.
He called a taxi, drove him to the outskirts, and when he came to a dimly lit place where there was no one around, he got out of the car, sent the driver away, and walked to a high hill with no shelter all around, and waited there.
After about half an hour, a dark shadow appeared in the sky, and it came down, it was Alpad's spaceship!
The spaceship stopped beside him, Luo Xingyu hurriedly got on the boat, and the small spaceship flew into the sky again, heading towards the mountains.
After getting on the ship, Luo Xingyu was surprised to find that there was one more person in the spaceship, he was short in stature, fat in body, like a big wine barrel, with a big head and a small face, a mouth like a slit, no lips, a surprisingly large bulge behind his head, his skin was grayish-white, wrinkled, and he looked very old, and he looked like an alien at first glance.
Luo Xingyu just wanted to ask, but the man greeted him in English with a strange accent: "Hey, young man." ”
Luo Xingyu himself speaks fluent English, and he asked in English, "Are you?" ”
"Also a prisoner."
Luo Xingyu suddenly understood that Alpad was concentrating on piloting the spaceship, and he didn't have time to pay attention to them, so Luo Xingyu chatted with the new alien.
It turns out that his name is Rubas, and he is a person named Kui Xing more than 500 light years away from the Earth in the direction of Ursa Major, more than 70 years ago, their spaceship crashed into Roswell, and several of their survivors have been captured and imprisoned by the Earth Mansion until now, he was thirty years old when he was captured, and now he is more than 100 years old, and their lifespan is between 120-130 years old.
"Roswell! You said the place where you fell was Roswell? Luo Xingyu shouted.
"That's what they called."
"Oh my God, that's the case! And what about your other compatriots? ”
"They were old and sick and dead, and now I am the only one left, and I just happened to run into Alpad and escaped with him."
"What about your fellow citizens? Big Brother Alpard (after getting acquainted, Luo Xingyu is called Big Brother Alpad). Luo Xingyu asked Alpad.
"They're all dead, too."
"I see." Luo Xingyu said that since Al Pad wanted to concentrate on piloting the spaceship, Luo Xingyu continued to chat with Rubas, and the spaceship flew quickly towards the mountain.
