Chapter 9: The City of Reims Seen Again
When the hot meal was served, the cactus first invited the middle-aged man sitting on the other side of their table to serve first, so the cactus reminded them to eat the meal while starting to eat the food itself.
The dining room is not large, most of the tables for a dozen people are placed in various corners of the dining room, this dining room is very elegantly decorated, small walls separate the various positions, and then a few pairs of chairs are placed next to the tables.
But now the cacti and pebbles are sitting in a larger position, enough to fit eight chairs. There are a lot of delicacies on the table, in addition to the dishes that the cactus just ordered, there are a few more pebbles, such as roasted oversized bullfrogs, and roasted oversized loaches, or boiled beef-flavored bananas and the like, in short, cacti they have not eaten on the earth and basically want to taste them here.
While eating, the cactus suddenly became interested, so he called out to the waiter in the restaurant, "Is there any wine here?" ”
Hearing this, a little girl's waitress came at once, and the little girl was very fair-looking, and her bright eyes shimmered with a glimmer of light, and she soon noticed that the cactus was basically full, and that she must need some delicious wine to drink after the meal.
"Cactus, there is a special variety of wine called Black Yan Wine, which is specially provided for heavenly knights like you, I wonder if you want to have some?" The little girl didn't recognize her life at all, and directly handed over the name of the cactus. Of course, the cactus didn't mind very much, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
It wasn't long before it was still noon, and the sun was pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant. Through the window, where they were eating, the view outside, because it was noon. It's getting clearer.
"The view from the outside is good, but last night we went to the highest point of the Petronas Twin Towers, which is the highest place except here, although there is an office, but it looks very shabby. How does this make us work? The cactus said.
But at this time, the pebbles were eating and saying, "It doesn't matter, we can contact the city on the ground to bring something in, to put it bluntly, we can buy a central computer, and nothing else." ”
The cactus thought for a while, and said, "That's just as well." So they finished their meal hastily, and the cactus ran to the front desk and gave the waiter two thousand mora coins, and he didn't ask for some of the money he needed to find. Not much anyway.
Subsequently, the cactus opened his quantum smartphone, which was only the size of a palm, but it was very useful, and there were two kinds of energy functions inside, one was solar, and the other was powered by tritium-3.
Cactus quickly contacted his large aircraft carrier Goddess Victory through his mobile phone, and subsequently. The mothership flew from the square.
The dozen or so waiters just saw the darkness outside the window, but looked closely. Indeed, they could see a gorgeous hull appear in front of their eyes, and the hulls of those half-made ships were deeply and finely jumping, dazzling, but staggered.
It's like a mountain-like hull with a delicate pattern like a high-end tattoo. The construction of this star-sea battleship, capable of both large tactical weapons and a design comparable to a work of art, is simply breathtaking.
"Where is our cactus going?" Pebble's head didn't turn for a moment, and she said so.
The cactus turned its head. He touched her long cobblestone hair, touched her face again, and said, "I'll go to the city on the ground with Ruola to buy back the central computer, so you don't have to go, let's go to the apartment downstairs with them to sleep for a while, just take a nap, okay?" ”
After hearing this, Jora ran over and said to the cactus, "What, we're going to go out to play, that's great, what, don't you bring pebbles?" ”
The cactus withdrew the hand that was touching the pebbles, and replied simply, "Yes, then let's go." ”
Pebble waved his hand, and the cactus disappeared into the living room, and he and Jora quickly appeared on the bridge of the Goddess of Victory using their teleportation skills.
With that, the Goddess of Victory slowly rose into the air and flew towards the sky cave high in the city.
On this road, not long after the cactus flew out of the city, they saw a fairly large city, so the cactus's star sea flagship flew close there. The huge fuselage, the rumbling noise, and the blazing sun on the horizon all show the strength of this extraterrestrial guest.
However, the walls of the city were also unusually large, and the towering walls were made entirely of alloy steel, towering over the entire wilderness that seemed to be a great desert, and there may be a few oases around it, dotted around, some of which seemed lonely.
The whistling wind blowing, covering the land with a layer of blurred atmosphere, the light blue stars in the distance shimmered in the sky with light blue brilliance, the clouds in the sky fell in the sapphire-like sky, those white clouds seemed to be beautiful white jade, in the whole sky with the east wind slowly blowing a song of the desert Gobi heavenly sound.
Standing in front of the steel city wall, the cactus, a man of 1.8 meters, looked at the gate in front of which was 90 meters high, and there was almost a brigade of army soldiers standing next to the gate, these soldiers were armed with steel guns, and they were still standing majestically in the hot weather of the desert Gobi.
The cactus and Jora left the hull of the ship less than a hundred meters away, and the army in front of the gate of the big city a thousand meters in front of them was ready for battle, because they did not know the cactus and Jora, and the extremely dangerous space spaceship.
In less than ten minutes, a brigade of so many soldiers quickly drove the tank to the cactus, and after the tank was parked in front of him, a soldier who looked like an officer began to speak, but it was strange that this soldier spoke English, and it was the standard English of the Earth world, fortunately, the cactus understood English, and could translate these words into Chinese in his heart.
"Is this ship yours? What is your purpose in coming here, to use your vast spacecraft to take over the city's territory? And your spacecraft looks like it has strategic weapons, so please leave immediately, otherwise the neutron warheads of the 500 electromagnetic railguns on the nuclear defense wall of my city will be aimed at your expensive spacecraft. "The officer said a lot of serious things in one breath, and it was clear that he had taken his assumptions as facts.
The cactus was stunned by these words for a while. He said: "We are the new commander of the city of Reims, and we are here to buy some equipment for the government building, such as central computers and the like, please let us in." ”
But the officer's face was serious, and he said, "You people of unknown origin, who knows what you want to do." I don't want to let my mistakes cost millions of our citizens their homes. ”
After squatting for a moment, the officer seemed to start saying something that the cactus could understand, and he said: "If you are some pirates with a big background, don't worry, there are still 10,000 electromagnetic railguns of fusion nuclear bombs waiting for you on our city walls, and your lives will not be left to your mouths at that time!" ”
He was a little upset to hear this cactus, but he didn't want to pay for the officer to put out the fire. But in order for things to go smoothly, he said, "No, my soldier, we are really not pirates, we are here to buy things, you see, if we were pirates, we would not need to dock the warship here and come down and talk to you." We can fly directly over the city and bomb it. ”
Hearing this, the officer was stunned. Then he looked at the soldiers around him, and those soldiers were all bowing their heads and whispering to each other, and then a soldier who looked like an adjutant said to their superior: "Admiral Moge, what they say has a point!" You see they're all dressed in casual clothes, and they don't want to be here once a month for the dirty pirate behavior. Let's trust them and let the two of them in, they didn't have weapons with them anyway, and their ships seemed to have stopped working, and they were so nice. It's not like a pirate. ”
After hearing this, the officer paused again, and then relieved himself and said to the cactus: "Alright then, please tell me your name, and your girlfriend's name." ”
Speaking of this, the officer ignored the blush on Ruola's face, and said directly: "Even if you couple go out for a couple's trip, you don't need to make up such a big pretense, and then run to this place where it is impossible to survive for a vacation, besides, just now, that is, a few days ago, there was a big disaster here that blew up our already very barren place, I said what do you think." ”
The cactus looked at Jora, the color of her face was slowly changing, and said: "This is a member of my team, not a girlfriend, my wife Pebble is still sleeping in the city of Reims, the disaster you said just now was accidentally made by me, sorry, friends of the olive star, we are the godsends." ”
Ten seconds passed, and the officer could no longer stare again and then figure out something, and said, "There have been so many strange things lately, why do you say that you heavenly knights are running here, what are you doing here?" ”
Seeing that the officer seemed to be a little angry, it seemed that life was really difficult, so he said: "We are going to rebuild this planet, because this planet is rich in silver, and a huge reserve of silver can be turned into a lot of wealth." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a metal mountain range in the Gobi that had been melted and formed, and said to the officer: "Judging from our inspection, 99% of the texture of this mountain is pure silver, which can be made as currency in our Earth Epochal Realm, so it should be said that our olive star is not only not barren, but also has considerable value and potential for development."
Suddenly, the officer's face twitched, and instead of being glad to hear this pleasant topic, he said: "You mean that so many precious deposits on our road have now all turned into treasures?" And you did it, and now you want to leave, what's the difference between that and a pirate? Besides, if you do this, the pirates who originally came once a month will come once an hour, and they will bring a lot of troops and mining equipment, so hundreds of thousands of cities on our olive planet, large and small, will start a big war with those notorious interstellar pirates. ”
The cactus's face was a little unnatural, he didn't expect the soldier in front of him to be so pessimistic, so he said: "I have already thought about everything you said, you don't know the strength of our heavenly knights, right?" ”
The officer sighed and received: "It's okay, we've been quiet here for many years, and finally a few heavenly knights have come, and we can be a little lively, then okay, let's go into the city with us, let's go." ”
As he spoke, the officer beckoned his team to go back, while Cactus and Jora followed them as they walked towards the massive ninety-meter-high gate. (To be continued......)
