Steven's first perspective

I couldn't see Hamilton's face under the helmet, but I could still imagine Hamilton's dazed face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At the thought of this, I sighed again.

"You've really made us all half dead for this ride, Hamilton."

We're in a very weird place, the climate is harsh, and worst of all, we can't even set up communication channels, from the lowest radio to quantum communications.

It's terrible, so to speak, and I don't even know what's going on out there.

And all this is because Hamilton himself sneaked to the ground, and as a result, he got lost with the Marines.

When we finally found him on the drone, we watched as he staggered like drunk into a bombed-out ruin.

After we found him, I regretted to find that I had no way of knowing everything about the outside world.

Broken peaks and twisted piles of stone surrounded us, and sand and gravel flew everywhere, and the howling wind blew fist-sized stones from time to time, constantly striking at the standing shield on us, causing ripples.

On this barren plain, apart from me and Hamilton, plus Kevin's six-man combat team, there was not a trace of life here, it was like an abandoned forbidden area.

I wondered, what the hell is this place?

"Hamilton, you really don't have any idea at all, just casually strolling around?" I contacted the Elephant in vain, and asked feebly after another futile return.

"Don't ask, Ambassador, he doesn't know where he is for a long time." Epsilon said helplessly, and then with a distortion of light and shadow, the holographic projection of Epsilon appeared in front of our eyes.

The intellectual girl with brilliant silver hair and a pair of blue eyes stroked her hair and said helplessly, "Although it looks like an abandoned city from the outside, as soon as Hamilton walked in, the physical environment of this place changed completely, and in fact, the parameters here did not match all the data I had recorded before...... Truth be told, Ambassador, we're probably in a terrible place. ”

"For example? I don't think if it were you, there wouldn't be no guesses at all. There was another flash of light, and a holographic projection of Alpha appeared beside me, flicking his long golden hair, and then looked at Epsilon seriously and asked.

"Indeed," Epsilon nodded in confirmation, "have you ever heard of subspace?" ”

"Are you referring to the so-called projected world that corresponds to the physical space of reality?" The alpha emerald pupils blinked, "Although we have observational data, but if I remember correctly, the Academy of Sciences has not yet reached a definite conclusion, right?" After all, most of the current data are from ancient documents and empires, and the reliability is difficult to guarantee. ”

"That's true," Epsilon, but the Observational Society is convinced that subspace does exist. While it is best to stay away from the use of subspace based on the experience of the Empire, there are some basic points of judgment in the internal materials of the Observation Society. ”

Then, Epsilon hooked his hand and typed out a data sheet in front of our eyes.

"Look at this, the dislocation of physical parameters, just taking light as an example, the speed of light here is inconsistent with what we observe in the material world, and light here is not only a fluctuation, but its physical properties have also changed. Oddly enough, there are places where basic physics are still followed, at least gravity is still there, and the phase shield is still working...... This is what makes me strange, according to the Society, subspace does not obey the laws of the physical world at all, but I can vaguely find some physical constants at work here. Let's be honest, I can't tell where we are. ”

"I actually have a conjecture about that." Alpha furrowed his delicate brow, "Remember the network of our Elf Clan allies?" ”

"What do you mean......" Epsilon seemed to think of something.

"Mezzanine!" The two men said in unison, then looked at each other with satisfaction.

"Mezzanine? What mezzanine? Kevin said with a look of confusion.

"The so-called mezzanine, the GI, is the boundary between the two planes" and then Epsilon projected a piece of paper on the screen, "For example, this is a piece of paper, and we painted one side of it black, and the other side is still white. The white side is the material world we are in, and the black side is the subspace" Then, Epsilon hooked his hand and stood up the piece of paper, "So, what is in the middle of this piece of paper?" That's right, it's very likely here, it's the mezzanine between subspace and the material plane! And as far as I can see, there are traces of manipulation in the environmental data here, and it is very likely that this place is not naturally formed at all, and must have been done by some ancient civilization that we don't know about yet! There is a high research value here. ”

I suddenly remembered something, ancient civilization, high value, subspace, mezzanine......

Behind these words, something that I had memorized countless times leaped into my mind.

Treasury.

It's funny, I thought.

"Ah, we seem to have arrived." Hamilton paused suddenly, "I feel like we're going to have to go here now." ”

I looked in front of Hamilton, and there was nothing but gravel and yellow sand, just a desolation like the places we had walked.

"Are you sure?" Kevin asked, "I don't see any difference here than just now. ”

Hamilton shrugged, then drew his electromagnetic pistol and fired it into the distance, an orange-red beam of light flashing.

Then, a wave swept through the air, and the electromagnetic bomb seemed to be wrapped in layers of something intangible, and disappeared as if it had never existed.

"I detected an energy response! It's the same subspace reaction we've tested before! Alpha shouted, his tone with a hint of stunned that could not be concealed, "How is this possible?" The physical data observed here is the same as it was there! There should have been nothing there! ”

"Yes," Hamilton put down his gun, "if there is nothing that is not of this world to get there, there really is nothing there." But if we get close to that, or if our creations come near there without authorization, the storm of subspace will engulf us. This is the gate, guys, and we need to wait for the messenger to arrive. ”

"Emissary?" I looked at Hamilton and said, "How did you know that word?" You should ......"

"There shouldn't be a mandate?" Hamilton looked at me, "You know, there's more than one intelligence agency in the Commonwealth, and we have more than one intelligence source, but we all serve the Commonwealth, and there's no need to question that, Steven." ”

His eyes were shining with a serious light at the moment, completely different from the dazed appearance he had before.

"Now that we are at the gate, we are only one last step away, and our mission will be accomplished. This is the destiny of the Federation, and you will be a part of our great cause, Mr. Ambassador. ”
