Of course, this does not mean that the world of the imperial capital and even the main plane has really stagnated, and there is no development at all. As one of the fastest-growing megacities on Earth on the main plane, the imperial capital is undergoing huge and profound changes every day. But in Shen Chao's eyes, compared to the control area of the Space-Time Council, this change is not worth mentioning.

After several years of development, especially the large-scale application of engineering mechs, the Space-Time Council has developed the ability to build large-scale beyond the range, and it only takes a month or two to build a large city out of thin air in an open space and fill a large city with immigrants.

In contrast, the development of the productive forces and the speed of population flow in the main plane world are not worth mentioning. People are doing the same things in the same places, day after day, year after year, with little progress.

Under his rule, the mobility of the population has reached a new peak, and all kinds of work across continents and even planets have become the mainstream of society. In such a comparison, the flowery international metropolis imperial capital looks much bleaker.

Even after entering the city center, Shen Chao did not feel the sense of prosperity that he once felt in this city. And when he sighed, the man with glasses more than ten kilometers away finally made up his mind to take the initiative to cast a spell to detect.

Because his prophecy circle flickered more and more frequently, indicating that the vision was approaching fast! Fearing the danger, he initially released a low-level prophecy spell to probe the general direction of the vision.

Then, seeing that there was no expected bad reaction, he continued to cast the spell, and little by little he refined his detection range, carefully probing his target. Or rather, he thinks it's the right goal.

Since Shen Chao didn't have any contraband on himself, it wasn't him who the glasses man initially found and located, but several members of the guards who were secretly following and protecting him, and some strange flying machines that he didn't dare to act rashly.

Guards operate in teams of two. Equipped with the most advanced weapon systems, it also has extremely strict organization and strong reconnaissance capabilities. Some of them used their flying backpacks to follow Shen Chao's special car "on foot", and they were relatively close.

Others scan the perimeter in a new one-man reconnaissance vehicle to warn of any possible danger. The new vehicle, tentatively named the Grey Falcon, is an experimental device developed from spherical drone technology.

It looks very much like the "water droplet" mentioned in the novel "The Three-Body Problem", but except for the appearance that is a bit similar, it is actually not a thing at all. Unlike the super-powerful probe in "The Three-Body Problem", which destroys an entire fleet with a droplet, the Gray Falcon, which is also a reconnaissance aircraft, does not have such a high strength. There is no such fighting power against the sky.

As a short-term development of a single-man reconnaissance aircraft, the Gray Falcon does not carry a lot of firepower, and its firepower reserves are only equivalent to a small warship. Not counting explosive weapons, its cannons only have the firepower of small naval guns.

The layout of the cannon is the same as that of the spherical drones that the Parliamentarians have already equipped on a large scale, except that the barrel is below the hatch by default and only extends when the weapon controller is unlocked. This design strengthens the Grey Falcon's stealth ability. It also improves environmental adaptability.

As a special equipment for reconnaissance, it is very suitable for this covert escort mission in the middle of the way, it can not only fly silently at high speed in the air, but also act as a manned or unmanned fire platform and small vehicle when necessary.

However, this new equipment was not originally developed specifically to strengthen Shen Chao's personal defenses, and his reputation did not allow him to encounter frequent external threats, and the Gray Falcon was born only to make up for the lack of battlefield mobility of the expedition members when they were acting alone.

As the complexity of the expedition's missions grew, more and more team members had to split into very small units and operate in a large area. This new equipment is used in the latest operation on the Star Wars plane.

In a similar situation, it is necessary to operate in two people to exert full combat capability. A shuttle with basically zero combat effectiveness. It is still huge in size and can only be maneuvered on the ground. None of the ultra-slow mechs could meet the actual combat needs of the expedition, so the Gray Falcon was born as a highly mobile light weapon platform in the middle ground.

As for those players who "walked" and followed the special car, naturally they were not really walking on the ground. It's safer, but it's not fast and it's too easy to leak. So they all rely on their jetpacks to glide through the sky, and from time to time they land on the top of nearby tall buildings to look down.

At the same time, several gray falcons in the sky were scanning the urban area on the ground to ensure that no dangerous goods suddenly appeared around Shen Chao. Of course, by dangerous goods, we mean firearms, explosives, tactical missiles, nuclear weapons, and the like.

When these things are scanned, the drone will give an early warning, and only these will be recognized as threats by the team members, although in fact, most of the chemically propelled firearms have been ineffective against Shen Chao. It's just for insurance, so it's to identify the data that still has these things in the database.

That's why the glasses man who observes them from afar with a spell has not yet been discovered. For the scanning system, the man with glasses is just an ordinary person in a daze at home, without any weapons on his body, so naturally he is not a threat.

However, after the glasses man discovered that there was such a group of optically invisible flying machines in the sky a few kilometers away, he gave up the idea of using further detection spells for the time being. Although he is not familiar with military affairs, he still has common sense.

These flying machines flying silently in the sky are definitely not conventional aircraft, they seem to be following something, and they should not be looking for themselves. And looking at their size and number, they are definitely not toys, and the imperial capital has not sounded the air defense alarm now, which in itself shows that these aircraft must be high-tech products, and the core air defense network of the imperial capital has not been able to find them.

"This TM must be in danger! The man with glasses thought so, and then quickly changed out of the robe on his body, gritted his teeth and decided to go out to hide. Without knowing what was going on, he still didn't dare to rush forward.

And Shen Chao didn't know that there was a similar person who had just almost passed by him, and after taking advantage of the night in the imperial capital, he boarded a special plane early the next morning to go to other parts of the world to continue to relax.

In the next two days, he flew to North America and Europe non-stop, looked at the development of ancillary industries, and on the way back, he also visited a small riot in a Middle Eastern country at close range, and finally flew to Australia on a special plane, and finally left the main plane after a transfer.

And after a few days of investigation, the man with glasses finally figured out Shen Chao's identity. At the beginning, when he was in the imperial capital, he was afraid, he didn't know what Shen Chao's guards were doing, let alone Shen Chao's existence.

But later, after Shen Chao left the imperial capital, he quietly checked the license plate and traced it all the way to the parent company of Star Energy. Through some bribery and questioning, he finally found out that the person who took the special car that night was Shen Chao, and preliminarily confirmed that the other party was a traverser like himself.

Then he found a lot of relevant information about Starry Sky Energy, and began to carefully search for all clues related to Shen Chao. He hoped to find out Shen Chao's sphere of influence and the level of strength he mastered through this move. It's just that he didn't know that he had embarked on a crooked path, and this "small enterprise" on the main plane could not represent any aspect of Shen Chao for a long time.

After leaving the main plane, Shen Chao successively inspected many planes, among which the two planes of Legend and Elysium were naturally the focus of the investigation, and when he returned to such a plane, Shen Chao immediately discovered the key to the problem.

Hurry, everything is very fast! This is especially noticeable in contrast to the slow rhythm of the main plane. As the rear of the Temporal Council's control, the development of both planes is accelerating, and with the support of the technological achievements collected by the expedition, the new economic system has completely replaced the earliest trading system.

In the sky, there is a gradually busy spaceship channel, and on the ground is the ever-changing tide of urban construction. Ever since the opening of a direct passage between the two planes more than a year ago, the population of the Elysium plane has been pouring into the plane of Legend on a large scale.

Due to the huge population gap between the two planes of Earth, even now, the tide of migration is constantly expanding. Of course, this is a wave of migrants, not refugees, and both planes benefit from this planned and rapid population movement.

With the exception of a few business groups that have obtained permits, all those who have passed through the space-time gate have already arranged their whereabouts, where to stay, and what to do in the future. Due to previous historical reasons, most of them were not highly educated, and had only received a large-scale education in assault skills under the organization of the Samaritans.

Then people came to this familiar and strange land with the hope of improving their lives, and took all kinds of production materials provided by the Council of Time and Space to this familiar and strange land. They weren't wrong, the city was built and the economy was growing at a rate far faster than any pre-astontic civilization.

Although the speed of the council's shipbuilding has not really exploded, there are already thousands of civilian ships of various sizes used to develop the production system, constantly transporting raw materials and primary products mined in space back to Earth, and then refining them in factories on the surface and sending them to various new settlements to build new cities.

The construction sites of the cities are rarely based on the ruins of the old cities, and many new cities are built with the approval of the government first, and then wait for the space-time fleet to destroy the target urban area by means of orbital bombardment, and then go in and build from scratch after the old city is completely destroyed.

With the improvement of technology, this construction method has become more and more efficient and competitive, and both official construction groups and private contracting companies tend to adopt this construction method. Not only is it simple and fast, but it also effectively avoids the bottleneck of urban development. (To be continued......)
