Hearing this, Hai Ge suddenly became nervous. He didn't have time to think deeply and shouted, "No, I don't want to be alone!" The task is so arduous, don't you intend to accompany me on the journey, sir? ”

But suddenly, he was silent.

Didn't Wedel's intentions be made clear from the beginning? If he hadn't thought about leaving, why would he give himself the box containing the single-celled firebug, which he valued more than life, and share the secrets of the shipyard and the origin of the underground plant kingdom with him?

By the way, he said that a big event would happen in a few days, what would it be? Did he leave here to do that?

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, and the only explanation that Hai Ge could find was that the U-star people were afraid of water and couldn't directly contact the real ocean. But if Wedell stays on the boat all the time and doesn't get wet, can't that?

Wedel silently watched Hai Ge, no matter what emotions the other party showed, he was very calm, as if he was just a bystander.

"Mr. Wedel," said Haige, trying to curb his excitement, "may I ask you one more question?" ”

"Ask, kid, I'm happy to answer all your questions, so there's no need to limit yourself to just one or two." He smiled and nodded.

"I want to ask, how will you spend the rest of the time when you have successfully researched the super metal and built the fire-water spaceship? Sending me off and then going to another planet, is that the big thing you mentioned is going to happen? ”

"Hehehe~" Wedel's face was as kind as Santa Claus who quietly came to give gifts, and he said: "Silly boy, do you think that the Variable Star 1 spacecraft that carried me to Earth is still docked outside the Earth's atmosphere and is going to take me on a new journey around the solar system?" The Fire Iren is the last spaceship I have come into contact with in this life, and since I have given it to you, I have nothing. ”

"But ......" Haige was even more dazed.

Wedel made a "stop" gesture: "Child, you already know how old I actually am, so old that I can't be counted by age, I can only be regarded as a living fossil of human beings in the ancient universe." ”

"This ......" This is exactly what Hai Ge thought when he learned about Wedel's origin, and now he actually asked him to say it himself, and his heart was suddenly congested. But when I guessed what he was going to say next, my heart ached faintly.

Wedell continued: "Suppose that one of the U-star people who escaped from the U-galaxy in a variable star spaceship found a viable planet and survived, they can only be regarded as the ancestors of their descendants now, and even with the most advanced hibernation technology, they will not live for hundreds of millions of years. Because of Marie's cryonics, I have been able to survive until now, and I don't even dare to call myself awake, but it is more appropriate to resurrect with zombies. When I woke up, if I hadn't read the suicide note left by Marie and Elle, and knew how much responsibility I had, I wouldn't have accepted the second life that the gods had given me. However, no matter how much I try to fight, how many rhizomes I eat, and my body functions are degrading day by day, I guess I won't be able to survive the day when I see the earth far away from the solar system, so why not use this last time to do something meaningful? As long as I have redeemed my soul, I will be able to face them calmly when I get rid of this old body and go to the palace of the gods to meet my family. ”

"But you seem to be so healthy, and it will certainly not be a problem to live another fifty years, so why be so pessimistic?" Hai Ge is still fighting, and indeed he can't see that the middle-aged man in front of him has reached his twilight years.

"Haha~" Wedel smiled again, but obviously to comfort Haige, "Well, my dear friend, I promise you that if I can live forever, I will cherish it." But I'm really old, and after a trip to the Analog Pacific, for example, I might have to rest for a few days to get out of my energy. ”

"Okay......"

Wedell had all said this, making it clear that he had made up his mind, and Hai Ge wanted to know what the big thing he was going to do, but if he continued to ask about it, it would be an inquisition into other people's privacy, so he had to give up, and secretly blamed himself for being too clumsy.

Wedel looked up at his wrist, which was wearing a small wrist-worn communicator.

"Let's speed up, it's almost noon on the surface of the earth. A few loitering people ran up to my old warehouse and called the buckets to scare them away. ”

"Little bucket?" Haige didn't figure it out, who is the "little bucket"? Could it be that someone else still lives in the old warehouse?

"Little Bucket is the most diligent of my seven wolf bodyguards, though his leg is a little lame," said Wedel. I love it. I'm going to name the wolf bodyguards with artifacts, and I hope you don't mind, so I can remember where some of the miscellaneous things are. ”

"Oh, the little bucket refers to the wolf." Haige almost burst out laughing.

Wedel walked over to the hologram.

"I beg your pardon, but due to the special body structure of the U-stars, I can't send the model of the Hoi Man to the real ocean for sea trials, so I can only do this by simulating the real scene through the projection of GVR glasses. However, although the sea in the shipyard is imaginary, the actual effect is exactly the same as the actual shipbuilding on the Pacific side.

"As for the reason why I used the Pacific Ocean as a passage through the Fire Man, it is because it is the largest sea on the earth, taking up a third of the total area of the earth. Standing in space and looking down at the Earth, the blue of the Pacific Ocean turns the planet into a fantastic blue water ball. As for the tiny shadow of the land, it is basically negligible. In addition, geographically speaking, it is surrounded by five of the seven continents of the earth, and the continental shelf area is large enough, which is the most ideal place to build a rocket booster platform for the Huoyi people and enter space from the earth. ”

"The starting point of your escape route to Earth is in the sea?" Haige thought he had heard it wrong.

Wedel said, "You heard it right, it's the sea." You must remember the tidal force that the nanobots successfully mentioned to you in Shadow Fantasy. ”

"Tidal force!" Hai Ge touched the black chain that hung around his neck and successfully gave him away. Of course, he remembered the familiar and unfamiliar term.

"I longed for the sea and knew that it would rise or fall regularly, but I had never delved into the principle of this regular movement. Through the successful explanation, I understood that it has to do with the moon, and when the ocean approaches the moon by the movement of the earth, the moon will increase its gravitational pull on it, so the tide rises. Of course, the earth is constantly rotating, and when the ocean turns to the other side of the earth, far away from the moon, the high tide will also recede. ”

Wedel nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.

Hai Ge continued: "However, Chenggong said that it is not the moon but the sun that is currently exerting a huge tidal force on our earth, and it directly locks the earth tides! ”

"You're absolutely right!" Wedel slapped his palms a few times, as if he was cheering, which made Hai Ge very embarrassed.
