Chapter 44: The Night of the Thousand Islands (Part I)
"We have reached the Thousand Islands Sea, let's go around these islands first, my father said that if my uncle is still alive, it is very likely that they are living on one of the islands in the Thousand Islands Sea. If we don't find them, we need to find a suitable island to spend the night before dark, preferably with a place to talk about the water. Kabayashi said.
After the spacecraft flew over more than a dozen islands, large and small, the sun sank to the bottom of the sea and twilight fell. Because these islands are all verdant with trees, even if there are people or animals on the island, it is difficult for the people on the spaceship to see in the twilight. Kabayashi decided to find a landing place first, and then continue to circle the island after dawn tomorrow to find people.
Luckily, before it was completely dark, the spaceship saw an island with fresh water, and the northern end of the island was high mountain, with a waterfall cascading down from the dense forest at the top of the mountain, forming a large pool in the low-lying hill dock in the middle of the island. At the southern end of the island is a low-lying hill with sparse sparse sand and gravel surfaces, ideal for a night out.
The spacecraft landed smoothly on the island mountain.
At this time, the sea breeze cooled, and the stars showed smiling faces one after another from the purple canopy.
The boys cut off a bunch of branches with their swords and set them on fire with a piece of ice and fire, and soon a fire was built on the top of the mountain.
Several travelers sat on sheepskin sleeping bags around the fire, and with their swords in their hands, the dried meat prepared on the ship was coated with seasonings and roasted on the fire, and the aroma of roasted meat drifted into the distance with the evening breeze.
When the jerky was cooked, Shanglin tore off a piece and stuffed it to Xinyan, who swallowed it in one gulp, and then flew into the sky with a cry of "ah".
The sky was full of stars, Ah Hu looked up at the starry sky, and the others were silently eating fragrant barbecue.
"The starry sky here is so beautiful!" Ah Hu suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked up at the sky, and Wang Fan said in surprise: "Ah Hu, you also like to look at the starry sky?" ”
Ah Hu looked at the starry sky and said: "I rarely have the opportunity to look at the starry sky in the wild like this, because at night when the sheriff and police officers are resting, I have to be on duty in the spaceship, and the starry sky I see in space is far from so beautiful." ”
Kapok Zi pointed to the top of his head and asked, "Ah Hu, are there many human planets in the sky?" ”
"Compared to the number of planets in the starry sky, the number of planets with humans is very small, and in our seventh space, only eight planets have produced intelligent humans so far." Ah Hu said.
Wang Fan has always been obsessed with the secrets of the starry sky, and seeing this opportunity, he hurriedly asked, "Ah Hu, what does the seventh space mean?" And what's going on with the Galactic Alliance? I've heard your sheriff mention it a few times on the ship. ”
Hu replied, "You asked two interrelated questions, and I'll explain the Galactic Alliance first. A galactic alliance is a federation of developed planets in many star systems. We live in hundreds of these galactic alliances, each with its own name.
Our galaxy alliance is called the Dopp Alliance, and the Alliance's headquarters base is located in Dopp Star, and our Space Police Force is under the jurisdiction of the Alliance Headquarters, and the headquarters base is also in Dopp Star. Although our Dopp Alliance is only a small alliance in the galaxy, with only twenty-seven members of its developed planets so far, the space under its jurisdiction is still huge.
For ease of management, the alliance divides its space into ten subspaces, with an average of two or three developed planets in each subspace. The star Vena we are on now, as well as the Earth and the star Venus, are in the seventh space, and the Ras and Reb are the two existing developed planets in the seventh space. There are also two moderately developed planets, including Earth and Mo-Yi, and four other underdeveloped planets like ours, Vena and Venus. ”
"Ah Hu, you mean that our earth is only a moderately developed planet, so what kind of planet can be regarded as a developed planet?" Wang Fan asked.
"If a planet's human manned vehicle can fly between galaxies outside its own star system, the science and technology of this human world will meet the minimum standards of a developed planet. Because the manned vehicles of your earth humans have not yet broken through their own star system, they are at most moderately developed planets. ”
"Alas, our new world is too backward!" Zhen'er sighed. Ever since she had seen the bustling city of the mountain city, Zhen'er had become dissatisfied with her own world and kingdom.
"Hu, what is the purpose of the Galactic Alliance? Do we, the planets, have to listen to its commands? Amma asked.
"All developed planets that join the Galactic Alliance must abide by the laws of the Galactic Alliance. For human beings on planets other than developed planets, the laws of the Galactic Alliance are more related to their survival or extinction. In order for you to understand the importance of the Galactic Alliance, let me tell you a true story:
In the sixth dimension, not far from our seventh space, there is a planet called Labdoman, whose technological civilization has long reached the standard of developed planets. However, because the planet was too old and the natural climate became harsh, the Labdons secretly invaded a nearby low-level planet called Bix, which at that time only reached the level of a moderately developed planet.
War between the two worlds of humanity has finally broken out, and there is no doubt that the Rabdons won easily. Subsequently, the Labdowrans sent most of the Bixes to live on a low-level planet called Pluto in the sixth dimension, where the living environment was much worse.
But the Beaks natives have a grudge in their hearts and vow to reclaim the planet.
Because of the unity and hard work of the Bixians on Pluto, and the secret help of the Bix natives who still live on the planet Bix, after several generations of efforts, the science and technology of the Bix people on Plux Mars have developed rapidly.
The Labdonians, who had already migrated to Bix, were uneasy about this, fearing that the Bixians would be able to launch a deadly attack on them in the near future, so they decided to strike at Mars first.
At the time, the Labudonians were already secretly building an antimatter weapon, so they decided to test the space superweapon on Pluto. But unexpectedly, this weapon was even more devastating than expected, and as a result, Pluto exploded and disintegrated, not only did Pluto disappear from the universe, but all the planets in the sixth space were affected.
This incident caused the people of the galaxy who were not interested in establishing a galaxy alliance to change their views, so the Dopp galaxy alliance that had been under discussion was soon officially established, and the first law enacted after the establishment of the galaxy alliance was that no planet was allowed to create a cosmic superweapon......"
Everyone was listening intently to Ah Hu's story, when suddenly Xinyan "Ah! Several people turned their heads to look, only to see it screaming and hovering over the waterhole below the hillside.
Shanglin immediately stood up and said, "Something! Check it out! ”
Everyone ran to the side of the mountain and looked down, only to see a few tall black shadows by the waterhole at the bottom of the mountain, and a few black shadows shaking in the grass and trees outside the waterhole.
"It's a beast!" Shanglin exclaimed in surprise and immediately shook off the flesh on the sword.
Ah Hu's eyes shot out two rays of light, and through his vision, everyone saw a tall upright animal walking down the hillside, Wang Fan's first reaction when he saw them was a mixture of a tiger and an ape, because their heads were like fierce tigers, but they had long furry arms like apes, and when they saw the light, they turned around and retreated into the grass to hide.
"It's a wild man!" Kabayashi said, "The old historian recorded in his logbook that there were savages in the Kuril Sea. ”
Xin Yan circled above the wild man's head, and a wild man suddenly jumped up, and his long outstretched arm was at least three meters long, almost grabbing Xin Yan, Xin Yan was frightened, "Ahhhhhhh He screamed and flew back to his master.
Ah Hu closed his eyes and said, "I don't have much energy stored in my body today, if the wild man attacks, you have to fight with me." ”
Kabayashi said, "Ah Hu, don't worry, we all know swordsmanship, and if the wildlings attack us, we will destroy them." ”
"I have an idea!" Wang Fan said, "Let's move more big rocks to the side of the mountain, and if the wild people go uphill, we will smash them." ”
"Great idea! Move big rocks! Kabayashi said.
Ah Hu was on guard on the side of the mountain, and Zhen'er's eyes were good in the night, so she was responsible for finding large stones that could be moved, and the others were responsible for carrying them, and soon more than a dozen large stones were piled up on the side of the mountain.
A bright moon jumped out of the sea, and the heavens and the earth suddenly brightened. Perhaps it was the moonlight that emboldened the savages, and they "whoa!" Crash! "Stepping on water and getting out of the grass.
Wang Fan counted in his heart that there were a total of seven savages, they were at least three meters tall, and the large protruding mouths on their faces showed sharp long teeth in the moonlight, and the long claws on their open arms shone brightly, making people shudder.
The savages began to gather and carefully climb up the hillside, and when they were halfway up, they went up to the forest and shouted, "Roll the stones!" In an instant, a few boulders "Boom!" Rolling down the mountain, the wild man turned around and fled, the two wild men could not dodge and were thrown to the ground by the boulder, and the other wild men quickly fled back to the grass.
"The savages have fled!".
As soon as the cheers of the crowd fell, an angry howl pierced the night sky in the woods. Then a large group of wild men came out of it, twice as many as before, and they rushed up the hill in a line, and the two wild men who had just been knocked down by the boulder also got up from the ground and joined the accomplices.
The people on the hill hurriedly rolled the remaining boulders down the mountain, and this time the savages were on guard, and they dodged with agility, and the stones were all thrown into the air.
Seeing that the savages were about to attack the mountain, Ah Hu stretched out his hand and shot a light bullet into the face of the strongest savage in the middle, and the savage immediately stopped and covered his smoking face with his hand and called out.
Kapok shot an arrow into the head of another wild man, Ama threw a stone in the eye of a wild man, and Wang Fan and Shanglin also threw a stone to hit the wild man. Ah Hu fired several more light bullets in succession, and the wild people howled and rolled down the hill and threw themselves into the water.
"These animals are huge and not easy to destroy, I don't have much energy in my body, if they attack again, your lives are in danger, it is recommended to leave here." Ah Hu said.
"Okay, let's go!" Kamibayashi said.
As soon as a few people turned around, there was another earth-shattering howl in the woods, followed by a noisy "Whoa! Crash! "Treading water, the savages attacked again.
As soon as a few people rushed onto the spaceship, Zhen'er shouted, "Alas! There is a fire on the sea! A lot of people are rowing over! ”
