There is another blue planet in the galaxy where our blue earth is located, and the name of that planet is called "Russ Star" if translated into our language.

Russ is Earth's twin planet in the Milky Way galaxy because it not only has a blue sky, but also has an almost identical size and material composition of the atmosphere to Earth. What is even more amazing is that the position of Russ in its solar system is almost the same as the position of our earth in the solar system, so the appearance of the flora, fauna and humans produced on that planet is very similar to that of the earth's flora and fauna and humans.

The difference is that the dominant skin color of the Russ people is blue, and the hair color is mostly grayish-white, and the human world of the Russ has long entered a highly developed era. More than 2,000 years ago in Earth time, the Chinese nation was still in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Russ people were already able to carry out interstellar voyages in the Milky Way.

Fortunately, compared to the infinite space of the Milky Way with a diameter of more than 100,000 light years, Russ is not far away from our earth, and it can even be said that the earth is a close neighbor in the galaxy.

Our story begins with that magical extraterrestrial world.

On this day, the weather in the southern hemisphere of Russ Star was clear, and the blue sky was filled with white clouds. A small silver flying car flew over a noble residential area on the eastern outskirts of the capital city of Rasstar, and after a while, the flying car landed on the grass of the garden of a villa.

The garden was full of colorful flowers, and a yellow-faced blue-faced intelligent man was working in the garden, and he saw a handsome little man with blue face and short hair jumping off the flying car and shouted, "Hey, Hal, school is out so early today?" ”

It is difficult for the sapient people of Russ to distinguish them from biological people if they wear clothes and hats, because their speech, behavior, and appearance are not much different from ordinary biological people. As loyal and capable assistants and close companions, the intelligent people of Russ are crucial in their work and life. It is no exaggeration to say that without intelligent people, the society of Russ will fall into a state of chaos and stagnation.

The young man named Hal responded excitedly: "Mu Huang, our university will start the summer vacation today. Good news for you, I got a really great holiday job to participate in an Earth expedition organized by the Galactic Alliance. ”

"Earth? Are you referring to another blue planet in our seventh space? My memory bank shows that it's an underdeveloped planet, and you have to be very careful when you go to that world, because the barbarians can't control it. The yellow body intelligent person reminded.

Hal said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, Mu Huang, it's rude to call an earthling a barbarian!" I've read some relevant information that the human world on Earth has generally established kingdoms, and their code of conduct has royal laws to follow. And some of the great river basins have developed interesting cultures and customs. I believe that in the future, the earth world will be as developed as our current planet. ”

The intelligent man had no intention of talking to the young man about the earth world anymore, his eyes shifted from Hal's body to the flowers and plants under his feet, and he said, "Okay, Hal, I wish you a happy interstellar trip!" After speaking, he opened the scissors in his hand and did the gardener's work.

Hal shook his head helplessly, compared to the wonderful universe, Mu Huang is more interested in the flowers and plants in front of him, and Hal himself is the opposite, he always turns a blind eye to Mu Huang's carefully built garden, but he is always full of expectations for interstellar travel in the boundless space.

Hal walked briskly to the two-story villa not far away, and when he arrived at the gate, he happened to meet a green intelligent person who came out of the house.

"Hal, I just heard that you're going on a long trip on vacation?" The intelligent man asked.

Hal unconsciously took a step back and said, "Yes, Mu Lu, what do you suggest?" ”

"I strongly recommend that you take me with you, I'm worried that it will be difficult for you to survive in the earth world!" Green body intelligent people are serious.

Hal smiled brightly, "Hey, Mulu, I'm eighteen years old and a sophomore in college this year, you can't always be a three-year-old doll." You can rest assured! I will not only live well in the earth world, but also do a good job in the work assigned by the expedition. ”

The green intelligent man was a little disappointed, "Hal, you should understand that you are the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Muer, and Mr. Muer's Star Entertainment City will need you to manage and operate it in the future." The safety of your life is related to the future of Star Casino. So, if you were going to an underdeveloped human world, without my protection and accompaniment, I don't think Mr. and Mrs. Mul would be at ease. ”

Hal: "Hey, hey! Smiled, "Mu Lu, the concept of a son inheriting his father's business has long been outdated, and I am not interested in the entertainment industry, at least for now." My parents already knew that. It's not that I don't want to take you with me, but my job this time is to experience the human culture and folk customs of a large river basin in the earth world, and then write an expedition report and submit it to the galactic alliance delegation. In order to get this job and the opportunity to travel interstellarly, I spent a year learning the language of the humans of that great river basin. If I take you there with me and be under your care all the time, I will not be able to personally experience the original customs and customs there, and the inspection report I write will definitely disappoint the delegation. ”

The green intelligence man said helplessly: "Okay, since you don't want to take me with you, then you have to tell me how you will keep yourself safe on that planet without my protection, and then I will make a risk assessment and report to Mr. and Mrs. Mull." After speaking, he shouted in the direction of the garden: "Mu Huang, since Hal went home early today, I suggest that you change your original work procedures and go back to the kitchen to prepare dinner early!" ”

At dusk, a large red luxury flying car landed in the garden. A very young-looking couple stepped out of the flying car, they were Howl's father, Mr. and Mrs. Mul, although they were over forty years old, but in Russ, the average lifespan of biological people was more than one hundred and twenty years, so anyone under sixty years old could be called young people.

Behind the young couple is a red-body intelligent person, her name is Mu Hong, Mr. and Mrs. Muer's assistant, driver and personal bodyguard.

The three of them walked into the house and were greeted warmly by Hal and Mu Lu, who were busy making dinner in the kitchen.

Mu Lu is the housekeeper of this family, and he takes care of the family's internal and foreign affairs. Mu Huang's duties are relatively simple, in addition to taking care of the garden, the main responsibility is to prepare food for the biological members when they return home. Among the three intelligent members of the Hal family, Mu Hong's facial features resemble Howl's mother, while Mu Lu's and Mu Huang's faces resemble Howl's father.

Several people sat in the spacious living room and talked, and Hal reported to his parents that he was about to go on an expedition to Earth. As soon as Hal finished speaking, Mu Lu said: "Mr. and Mrs. Muer, Hal is going to an underdeveloped planet to investigate this time, and there are unforeseen risks, so the preparations should be done more fully than ordinary trips in the past. ”

Howl's mother's beautiful blue face showed a worried look, "Howl, your family has always supported you to go out to work during the holidays, but this time you are going to interstellar travel to an underdeveloped human world, which is very worrying for your family. ”

Hal smiled: "Dad, Mom, don't forget that I am eighteen years old this year, and this time we have a total of ten members to go to the Earth World to investigate, and the other members are also college students. I have already reported to Mu Lu the security measures prepared for us by the Galactic Alliance expedition, and since Mu Lu still has questions, then I have to report to you again.

Ten of us will assemble at the space station in Space Seven, and then the Space Police spacecraft will send us to Earth's space, where we will be transported to various areas to be explored.

The area I visited was several castles on the banks of a large river, where human civilization is the most developed in the earth world. I have long been interested in the hieroglyphics invented by humans in that area, and their words look like vivid and interesting pictures, very imaginative and creative. From this, it is not difficult to infer that the humans there have a high degree of intelligence. And as you know, Earth and our planet Russ are called the twins of the Milky Way, which is why every 10 years of Russ time, the Galactic Alliance sends an expedition to Earth. ”

Hal said a long time in one breath, and while he stopped to drink water, Mu Hong interjected, "Hey, Hal, most of what you just said is information we have already obtained. You should focus on reporting to Mr. and Mrs. Moore what safety measures you have taken to travel to Earth. ”

Hal put down the water glass and pretended to be surprised, and said to the Red Body Intelligence: "Mu Hong, why are you uncharacteristically interfering in the affairs of Mu Lu's scope of responsibility?" ”

Everyone laughed.

Mu Erle laughed and said, "Haar, Mu Hong's abnormality shows that your trip to Earth this time is extraordinary, so the whole family is very concerned. ”

At this time, Mu Huang, who was wearing a white coat, appeared at the door of the living room and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Muer, I have already reminded Hal that the legal system of the human world he is going to is very unsound. ”

The people in the living room burst into laughter again.

Hal took out a miniature pistol from his pocket and a small machine shaped like a watch and showed them to the crowd: "You see, each member of the expedition team has a short gun for self-defense and counterattack in an emergency. Because the human race on Earth is still in the age of cold weapons, even if I am unfortunate enough to encounter a combined attack of fifty criminals at once, I can use this gun to make them ineffective in a short period of time. The arm-mounted intercom can communicate with the Space Sheriff patrolling Space Seventh at any time, and the Space Police's spacecraft can enter Earth space within an hour of Earth time to provide us with emergency assistance, provided nothing else. In addition, the delegation made two sets of outerwear tailored to the local people's clothing for our delegation members. ”

Hal stopped to think about what else to report to his parents, and Mu Lu wasted no time in adding, "Hal has forgotten an important thing, what do you live on after you arrive on Earth?"

Hal had an epiphany, "Event funding! You don't have to worry about that. Because gold and silver are the most common currencies in the world of Earth, the expedition prepared enough small pieces of cut gold for us. This precious metal can be crafted from common metals in Russtar, so the cost is very low. However, the leader of the expedition warned us that gold is very precious in the earth world, so we must use it with the same care as ordinary local people, and not let the earthlings realize that we are different aliens. ”

Speaking of which, Hal turned his face to look at Mu Lu and asked, "Mu Lu, am there anything else I miss?" ”

Mu Lu said in a serious tone: "Of course, Howl, you just mentioned that you can't let the earthlings notice that you are an alien, which is very important for your personal safety, but how to deal with the difference between your appearance and skin color and that of the earthlings?" ”

Hal said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, the appearance of the earthlings is not much different from the appearance of our Russians, but the humans in the area I am going to investigate are yellow-skinned and black-haired, I just need to go to the barbershop to dye my hair black, and then use paint to turn my exposed skin yellow to become the appearance of the locals." ”

Shortly thereafter, Hal and his companions descended into Earth aboard the Space Guard's incredibly fast spacecraft. Hal chose his landing site on the outskirts of one of the largest castles on the banks of the Yangtze River, which was the capital of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Chinese nation and the largest city in the long river basin.

Hal's hair was black and shiny, his exposed skin was painted a dark yellow, and his dress and demeanor looked like that of a scholar who had traveled around the world and that of a tourist who had been exposed to the wind and sun. He carried a cloth bag with some change of clothes and ordinary daily necessities.

However, in addition to a few pieces of gold, in his pocket of his clothes contained several high-tech products that the earthlings of the time would never have dreamed of: a smart telescope shaped like ordinary glasses, which could clearly see the scene dozens of miles away day and night. A smart miniature camera connected to a miniature camera hidden in the buttons of Howl's jacket. As long as needed, everything Hal sees and hears can be stored in his camera database at the same time.

Hal also has a foldable smart notebook for writing or reading stored books while traveling.

Before Hal left home, Mu Lu carried out a strict inspection of the belongings he was carrying, and as a smart person with a strict mind, Mu Lu certainly would not leave out the miniature energy gun that Hal needed to use to defend himself and fight back.

Not only that, but because he was worried that Howl's gun energy block would not be enough or that something would happen, he took it upon himself to buy a spare energy block for Hal that could be placed in Howl's gun.

Hal thought it was redundant and didn't want to carry it, but because of Mulu's strong insistence, Hal had to take it with him.

At that time, Hal would not have thought that it was this spare energy block of Mu Lu that allowed him to do an earth-shattering thing in the earth world.
