"Treat them well. Charles said to the head of the nursing home in front of him.

"Don't worry, Lord Governor, our men and I will do our best to serve your crew. The middle-aged man with eyes in a white coat said respectfully to Charles

"They're not my crew, they're my family. After saying this, Charles turned around and left the sad place with Anna.

Charles didn't get into the car to the Governor's Palace, and when he saw the tragedy of the crew, he felt a little depressed and wanted to take a walk.

Anna reached over and grabbed his arm with both hands, resting her head gently on his shoulder.

"Well, have you decided to go up, when are we going to leave? I'll go up with you. ”

Charles reached out with his right hand and wrapped his arms around her thin waist. "It's not that simple, we don't know what the situation is above, whether the top has been blocked by the army, where is the location, since we have decided to go up, then be prepared for everything. ”

"What are you doing with all this trouble? Do you want Twinkle to go up there first?"

"No!" Charles immediately vetoed this method, "If there is really any danger up there, she goes up like this, it's too risky, didn't you say before, she said that there is something up there that scares her?"

"What are you afraid of, when the sky falls, there are tall people on top, and the gods of light have gone up, if there is anything on it, they must pinch it first. ”

"That's our daughter, can you not take such a risk? ”

When Charles said this, he suddenly thought of something, and led Anna towards the relic research institute.

Through a heavily guarded gate, Charles walked into the most enclosed area of Hope Island.

Soldiers standing guard stand on towers covered with barbed wire, flanked by shiny miniguns.

Anyone who approached here without authorization received their merciless shots.

Some of the towers don't have machine guns, but instead there are soldiers in black hats, holding various probing relics in their hands to make sure no one can infiltrate them with relics or special abilities.

James wasn't here today, and Charles was greeted by Gordon, who had brought the analysis machine.

"Dear Governor, your people Gordon welcomes you. The fat man with gold teeth bowed his head deeply at Charles.

"Why are you still here? You haven't contacted your people?" said Charles, walking toward the exhibition room.

"Your Excellency the Governor, now the entire Earth-Sea telegraph network is paralyzed, let alone across the sea, even the islands cannot be connected, but judging from the situation of those lights that can kill, they are probably more than lucky. ”

Charles could hear the difference in what Gordon said about himself.

Gordon seemed to guess that something had changed drastically outside, and without the Treasure Royal Chamber of Commerce as a backstage, he immediately began to change his goals and pledge his allegiance to Charles.

"Your Excellency Governor, please look at this, this is a display made of the latest material cathode ray tube, using tape to store contents, although the technology is still very flawed, but through my own efforts, I have begun to sell it on the island and start making a profit. ”

Gordon, who followed Charles to the exhibition room, spared no effort to show his abilities to his new boss.

Anna, holding Charles, stretched out her finger and poked it into the brick-sized tape hole and spun around.

"Hehe, it's really chic to store video content on tape. ”

"Let's start from scratch, what do you want about the level of science and technology in this kind of place?"

Charles walked over to the side and looked at the machine, which looked like some kind of vortex furnace, but smaller and more delicate, and made a lot more new things.

Anna looked at the crowd on the table in surprise, "Your place is really good, we talked about it before, this island is now under my control." ”

"Okay, you'll be the new governor of Hope Island from now on. ”

"Haha, I like your generosity, I usually don't hurt you in vain. Anna hugged Charles and kissed her.

Charles, who pushed Anna away with his hand, turned his head to look at Gordon next to him, "Why do I feel a little familiar with these new things?

There was a hint of embarrassment on Gordon's face, but he quickly explained. "Yes, but everything starts with imitation, but then there is absolutely nothing like this in the English Isle. ”

Gordon said as he led Charles to a table-sized model, a railroad track-like contrab, except that its carriage was hung not on top of it, but on the bottom.

"Your Excellency, this is a new sample of a vehicle from the Institute, which was previously stranded due to materials, but now that there are all kinds of alloys, we can fully show this conjecture. ”

As white steam rises from the front seat of the mini locomotive, the train slowly turns along the lower end of the tracks.

Charles stretched out his hand and touched it, and said hesitantly, "You're going to hang this thing on the top rock formation?"

Gordon's eyes were full of excitement, "You actually guessed at once, it's really not a matter of Lord Governor, as long as we have this thing, we don't have to be afraid of those things in the sea anymore, and the traffic and transportation between the islands will be greatly convenient." ”

"And this thing will connect the various islands, completely eliminate the barriers between each island before, and your control territory will no longer be trapped with Hope Island, which island this track is paved to, which island is your territory!"

Charles looked at the rail train in front of him with a complicated expression, this thing is a variant of the train, and some human history is always repeated.

Hope Island's technology has made another breakthrough, and he should be happy, but Charles doesn't know how to think of the God of Light.

"The God of Light didn't even attack us, He could kill the entire population of Earthsea with just a single face. Anna, you say, what is our human technology? Even if we build hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs later, is it really useful to face them?"

"And don't forget that it's just the God of Light. And the sleeping god Phtan, what are we compared to them, what are we?

Charles turned his head to look at the various items in the exhibition room, and with the help of the Relic Research Institute, Hope Island has advanced by leaps and bounds, and is undergoing a big explosion of science and technology in the form of the earth and sea.

Yet all of this felt like nothing at the thought of the utterly irresistible power of the God of Light.

Anna glared at Charles dissatisfied, "What's the use of talking all that, since they're powerful, let's find a way to get their power." ”

"Gain their power? Create a new god of light? Look at what he should have done to be a human god, and when he has the power of a god, he becomes another god. ”
