A few days later, at dusk, on the outskirts of the old town of Modu, a new garden-style manor house was located, and its inner villas were very retro buildings.

At this time, Su Mo was standing on the balcony on the second floor in his pajamas and looking into the distance.

A spectacular scene comes into view, where the ruins of the old town, which had been bulldozed, have been built into a brand new interstellar airport. The all-metal monolithic megaterminal, each floor fifty meters high, was clearly not designed to accommodate normal aircraft.

Su Mo has checked a little, and the entire federation has planned a total of twenty-four interstellar airports, of which eighteen are built in Area M, Area Z, Area E, Area O, and the remaining six are in other areas.

In two months, the twenty-four interstellar airports were basically completed in time in a hurry.

It can be regarded as the largest construction project in recent years.

Su Mo picked up his mobile phone and glanced at it, today is the last day of the year, and tonight is the New Year, today in previous years is definitely super lively, and every household is welcoming the new year.

But today it was unusually quiet, as everyone was waiting for the cup of heaven to begin.

At the same time, this morning, Su Mo received a public text message issued by the Federation, and from the morning, the entire Federation entered a state of first-level readiness.

Su Mo looked at the streets of the Demon Capital from a distance, and could see groups of heavily armed soldiers starting to patrol the streets, and at the same time, armored vehicles and tanks drove out, and there were whistling planes in the sky from time to time.

Follow the hints in the closed Star Ring game, and the Cup of Heaven will officially open at 12 p.m.

Su Mo was also more and more inexplicably curious, what the cup of heaven looked like.

......

Inside the Imperial Capital Center and Administration Building, District Z.

Long Ming was wearing a blue robe embellished with stars, sitting firmly in a chair, resting with his eyes closed, and the various members of the Federation were still sitting next to him. But most of them are restless, and as the time for the Cup of Heaven approaches, everyone is nervous, after all, everyone is about to face an unknown new world.

On the walls of the room, an oversized mechanical clock kept moving.

When the hour hand reached half-past eleven, a dull bell rang

Boom~

Long Ming's eyes opened and stood up, and said to Ogulas and the others, "Go!" ”

All the councillors were shocked and followed behind him.

I saw that everyone was led by Long Ming to a special elevator inside the administrative building. It was heavily guarded, and everyone went to the depths of the earth through elevators.

The elevator door opened, and everyone walked out, and a thirty-meter-high alloy gate came into view.

Long Ming pressed his hand on the identification device.

"Fingerprint recognition passed!"

"Pupil recognition passed!"

"Biometrics passed!"

....

After the identification instructions are passed, click!

The huge alloy gate slowly rises, and a spectacular underground mechanical room comes into view. I saw that there were countless fiber optic cables inside, and all of those fiber optic cables extended to the central area.

In the center of the mechanical room, there is a very special metal pinnacle, and in the center of it is embedded a special metal Rubik's cube.

The crowd walked up to the metal spire, their hearts raised to their throats.

This is the cornerstone of the opening of the Star Ring, and it is also what they got from space in the first place.

Long Ming raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch, when the time reached twelve o'clock. He stepped forward and led the group in a bow to the metal pinnacle.

The House of Representatives also made a sonorous declaration with the sound of the dragon.

"Long Ming, the head of the Federation of Earth-Star Civilizations, hereby swears."

"Willing to use faith and life as fuelmaterials, ignite the fire of civilization, open the cup of the star ring to conquer the star ring, that is, the catastrophe will never be recovered, and I will never regret .....it."

"I am willing to use faith and life as fuel, ignite the fire of civilization, and open the cup of the Star Ring to conquer the Star Ring Heaven...."

....

In the solemn oath of everyone, Long Ming stretched out his hand and pressed it on the metal pinnacle.

In an instant, the whole metal pinnacle is like an iron tree blooming!

Click!

Countless prismatic metal squares pop up.

The metal cube embedded in the center floats, and then the metal ceiling above the head cracks and opens layer by layer.

In the next second, the metal cube spun automatically and began to split, and then a pillar of light rushed into the dark sky.

Like a sharp blade cutting through the dark night sky, it is also like a path that points to the light in the darkness.

All of a sudden, everyone in the world could see this incomparably spectacular scene.

Su Mo looked at the pillar of light rising into the sky, and his heart trembled slightly.

.....

Looking down from the sky, a pillar of light can be seen piercing through the atmosphere and then spreading out, forming a large blue halo circle.

It was like an angel's circle of light, and it suddenly enveloped the entire earth star along with the nearby moon star.

In the next second, the scene around the Earth Star and the Moon Star began to change dramatically.

In the earth star, everyone looked up at the starry sky, only to see that the whole world was shrouded in a special halo, and the pillar of light that passed through the sky was like the only guiding light in this world, illuminating everyone.

Many people on the sidelines made shocked noises, and even involuntarily felt curious, excited, worried, panicked, and so on.

Su Mo looked at this rare wonder for a thousand years, and his heart involuntarily accelerated, it was indeed too shocking.

But fortunately, the whole process did not last long, and in just over half an hour, the pillar of light began to dissipate.

At this time, the cracked metal cube immediately rotated again, and a special halo continued to emerge from its surface.

Long Ming and the others subconsciously took a step back.

Immediately afterwards, a Lori wearing a colorful skirt and looking extremely cute, that is, the virtual hologram of Golly who had guided them into the star ring appeared.

"Dear pioneers of civilization, welcome to you, I'm Golly, and I'm honored to tell you that you have had the privilege of participating in the Cup of Heaven and getting a chance to be reborn. I also know that you must be very confused, but don't worry, all your doubts will be answered, and I officially represent the will of the Ring, like you, to send you an invitation to the City of the Star Ring. ”

"Where is the City of Ringing Stars?"

Long Ming took a deep breath and asked.

Immediately after that, with a flick of Golly's hand, a special virtual image emerged.

I saw that in the starry sky of Hanhai, a gyroscope was formed, and the whole body was made of metal, which was several times larger than the giant planet. Surrounded by seven halo circles of different sizes and different colors, the ring city emerged.

The illusory image begins to zoom in, and you can see that its surface is densely covered with pitch-black cannon barrels, its reflective luster is intimidating, and its interior is densely covered with all kinds of metal buildings, whether up and down, left and right, densely populated with metal buildings, magnificent interstellar shipyards, dense automatic mechanized processing plants, and vast interstellar ports, on which starships are docked, and looking inside, intricate ring tracks are intertwined.....

The super-future Star Ring City made everyone stunned.

"How are we going to get there?"

"As the victors of the Cup of Earth, you will receive your last starship for free. You can take that ship to the City of the Stars, and I will receive you. In addition, I need to inform you that there are twelve other victors of civilizations who will also be on starships, and it is strictly forbidden to attack each other and clash with each other on the way. ”

Golly replied with a smile.

Just when Long Ming was about to ask.

The light of the metal cube became fainter and fainter, as if the energy had been exhausted.

Golly's figure gradually dissolved.

"I'm waiting for you in the City of the Star Rings."

......

Agoulas and the others looked at Long Ming at a loss.

"Parliament Leader Longming, what should I do now?"

"yes, are we really going?"

"Could this be a trap?"

......

Long Ming was also a little undecided at this time, this happened too suddenly, and now it was different from the past. In the past, the star rings could be more or less called a game, but now they are facing another advanced civilization, and once they make a mistake, they will make a mistake.

At this moment, Li Ruiqi hurriedly walked in, and he said to Long Ming.

"Captain Long Ming, an unknown ship has appeared in the sky, it is landing at the interstellar airfield in the imperial capital, and it has already caused extreme panic, which ship has been locked by the fighter formation. But no shouts were answered, and now the captain of the air formation is asking for the next response order, whether to attack or not? ”

Long Ming took a deep breath, raised his head and said, "No attack." ”

"I see."

Li Ruiqi hurriedly turned around and left.

Long Ming turned his head to look at Iselin and said, "Iselin, you immediately come forward and give a speech to the whole people to stabilize the panicked people." Agoulas and the others, let's go to the starfield and see the starship. ”

"Are we really going?"

Spold also frowned.

"Let's take over the spacecraft first, it is estimated that we don't have much choice, so inform Zhang Wei and the other doctors to go to the interstellar airport together."

Long Ming gradually calmed down.

"Okay."

The crowd didn't say much.

.....

Su Mo swiped the latest developments of the Transwarp Forum with his mobile phone to see if there was any latest intelligence update.

As a result, I swiped to a pinned post, and the eye-catching title fantasy came true!

This post was posted by an anonymous player, and the click-through rate has reached hundreds of millions.

Click on the post, and you can see a photo prominently, the photo was taken in the imperial capital of District Z. I saw that in the sky of the imperial capital, a gray giant interstellar ship with a length of five kilometers and a span of one kilometer broke through the clouds and landed towards the interstellar airport.

At the same time, there is another photo attached to the post, which was taken at the site of the civilization in the center of the Star Ring Lost Continent. The ship of the propulsion inside is exactly the same as the ship that actually descended.

The poster wrote a paragraph in bold red letters.

"Brothers and sisters, see clearly! The things in the star ring appear in reality, is this a fantasy reflected in reality, or are we in fantasy......"

......

Su Mo took a deep breath.

At this time, a live broadcast prompt popped up on his mobile phone, of course, this was obviously sent by the federal indiscriminately, and it should be to deal with panic.

Although everyone has made a little mental preparation before, when the reality comes, the fear in the heart is involuntarily born.

Su Mo clicked and entered the live broadcast to watch.

Soon the image of Iseline appeared in front of everyone, and she saluted everyone.

"Dear people, don't panic about all kinds of changes, everyone stay at home. We are now officially participating in the Star Ring Cup, but the specifics are not yet clear, but soon everything will be revealed, and the federal government promises to disclose all the first-line information and will not hide it from you. But at the same time, I also hope that all the people will not create any disturbance at this juncture, otherwise everything will be dealt with as treason. ”

......

I have to say that Iseline's speech is still very effective, directly strangling the hidden danger of instability in the cradle.

On the other side, when Long Ming led everyone to the interstellar airport, the interstellar ship had landed firmly in the middle of the airport.

Li Shijie has already led his subordinates to surround it.

When he saw Long Ming and the others who came over, they saluted one after another.

"Parliament Chief."

"How's it going?"

"This starship appeared and landed suddenly, and the login hatch opened automatically after landing, but no one came out, and I didn't let anyone in just to be on the safe side."

"Very well done, how long will it take for Zhang Wei and the others to come back."

Long Ming nodded slightly, then turned his head and asked the subordinates next to him.

"They'll be there soon."

The subordinate next to him hurriedly responded.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Zhang Wei and the other doctors to hurry over, and when they saw this starship, the old face shouted excitedly.

"The Propulsion!"

Long Ming saw Zhang Wei and the others at a glance and recognized this ship as the Thruster, nine times out of ten, it should be true, this ship should be the spaceship that the Cup of Earth finally obtained.

"Get on board."

Long Ming spoke.

Zhang Shijie said with some anxiety: "Elder Parliament, wouldn't this be too reckless, why don't we go up and have a look first." ”

"What is there to worry about, the craftsmanship and technology of this starship have long been ahead of our time. If the other party really wanted to be unfavorable to us, we would have hung up a long time ago, there is nothing to worry about, let my old man go up first. ”

Zhang Wei and other scientific research doctors couldn't wait, and their eyes were extremely excited.

"Don't worry, go up."

Long Ming groaned for a few seconds and replied.

"Yes!"

Zhang Shijie retreated.

Long Ming and the others boarded the ship from the boarding gate and came to the slender metal corridor passage.

Soft lighting is embedded in the top of the passage.

Zhang Wei led everyone inside, and when he got this ship in the Star Ring game, he walked all over the ship, and he was extremely familiar with every corner of the ship.

Soon they came to a three-way intersection.

Three metal gates cut off to the road, and Zhang Wei pressed the switch on the right gate.

The metal gate opens automatically.

Zhang Wei walked in with everyone, and introduced everyone as he went.

"The passage we come in is called the access passage, and there are three gates on this side, which lead to the ship's area A, B, and C. But one thing is the same, when the gates are opened, we arrive at a sealed and transparent isolation room, where people who board the ship normally have to be checked, on the one hand, to prevent anyone from entering. On the other hand, in order to prevent people on board from carrying viruses or parasites, the design concept is very advanced, through the first isolation room and then go inside, there is also a review room, which is used for the second inspection, it is worth explaining. These areas are all microgravity areas, and there is no way to cover all aspects of the ship because of the limited coverage of the ship's gravity device........"

Ogholas and the others couldn't help but reach out and touch the smooth wall, although they had touched it in the game, but the feeling of reality was different.

The cold walls make people feel inexplicably excited, as if the sea of stars is beckoning to them.

......

Soon after, Long Ming and the others successfully arrived at the central control room.

The huge control room was empty, with no figures, and the central console was activated, and the virtual image screen kept popping up prompts.

"Please bind your identity permissions...."

....

Zhang Wei and several people immediately stepped forward to enter their identity permissions.

Long Ming and the others stood in place and looked at the control room around them, their expressions becoming more and more complicated.

Spold said in a deep voice, "What should we do now?" I guess we don't have much time left to make a decision. ”

"As president of the Federal Assembly, I have to go there myself."

Long Ming took a deep breath and said decisively.

"We'll go with you too, it's always good to have a discussion when there are many people."

Agoulas and the others shook their heads.

"Alright then, then leave Iselin behind and the others go with us, but I have one more offer."

Long Ming thought about it, and estimated that the danger was not high.

"What proposal?"

"Bring some reporters and broadcast the whole process live to reduce the panic of the people."

"Is this going to work? I'm talking about the technical aspect. ”

Agoulas was also very surprised by Long Ming's proposal.

"No problem, the Thruster is advanced enough, and its internal information transmission device is very powerful, as long as this ship is used as an information transmission relay device, there is no problem."

Zhang Wei replied with great certainty.

"Then how long will it take for you to finish debugging?"

Long Ming asked.

"All the parameters of this Thruster are adjusted, and there is no need to move much, just need to get used to it. But the cold storage for the ship's survival supplies is empty, and we need to fill it ourselves, so it will be twelve hours at the earliest before we can set off. ”

"Resupply the ship immediately, and leave in twelve hours"

Long Ming decisively gave the order.

"Yes!"

......

Twelve hours later, the Thruster finished resupplying.

In the control room, Zhang Wei and others sat in their respective operating positions, and two reporters stood aside with live broadcast equipment on their backs and extremely nervous.

After everything was ready, Zhang Wei twisted and looked at Long Ming.

"Let's go."

After receiving the instructions, Zhang Wei issued the order in an orderly manner.

"Close all access hatches."

"Smash the outer closed passage."

"Start the CS1 shaped power unit...."

"Starting, power delivery is normal."

"Check all the lines, as well as the circuits."

"R1-R2342 line ..... normally"

"The anti-gravity assist system is activated, and the jetting device is ready to start."

.........

As one operation command after another was issued, the special device ports at the bottom of the Thruster opened, and the huge Thruster floated little by little, followed by the ignition of the tail jet device.

The Propulsion began to slowly move away from the interstellar airfield.

Long Ming and Ogulas stood on the belvedere, looking at the shrinking city and the earth, and their hearts were lifted.

It would be a lie to say that they are not nervous, they are not too worried about their own safety, what they are more worried about is actually the fate of all mankind.

......

It didn't take long for the Propulsion to break through the atmosphere and sail out of the Earth Star into the vast starry sky.

The moment they flew out of the starry sky, through the viewing glass, they saw at a glance the incomparably magnificent City of Star Rings, and the halo emitted from its body was so bright and dazzling, just like the sun.

At this time, Zhang Wei quickly entered a command on the console to set the flight trajectory, and at the same time issued an order: "Go at full speed, target the city of stars." ”

"Understood!"

Many operators answered.

At this time, the two reporters swallowed and spit, walked to Long Ming's side, and asked.

"Lord, are we going to start broadcasting?"

"Let's broadcast it! Everyone deserves to know what's going on. ”

Long Ming's calm reply.

"Yes!"

Immediately, the reporter began to debug the equipment.

Soon the live video was transmitted back to Earth.

At this time, Su Mo was sitting at home watching TV, waiting for the latest developments.

At this time, the TV video was inserted into a live broadcast, and I saw a rather young reporter, who said excitedly; "Dear viewers, I'm Federal News reporter Nick, and I'm now broadcasting the latest developments in the Cup of Heaven. As you can see now, I'm in the control room of a ship called the Thruster, which is the ultimate reward for winning the Earthcup Cup. Now the President of the Federal Parliament is leading a large number of parliamentarians to the City of Rings, and everyone may not be very clear about what the City of Rings is. ”

"Actually, I don't know what it is, but that's okay. I can point the lens into the lookout and let everyone take a look. ”

As he spoke, the image began to turn.

From afar, everyone can see a mechanical city in the shape of a gyro, but it is a bit far away, so it is not very clear.

"Now we can't see it very clearly due to the distance, but it doesn't matter, when it gets closer, I will show you the city of the stars in all aspects. Now let me tell you about the situation, the target ship is moving at sub-light speed, and is expected to arrive in the city of the stars in seven hours, the thruster we are on now, according to my understanding with the doctor on board, its technology is at least more than five hundred years ahead of our existing technology, but this ship is most likely not the highest scientific and technological achievement of the city of the stars, and it is expected that the technology in the city may be epoch-making with us. ”

"Therefore, if the communication goes smoothly and we really win the Cup of Heaven, maybe our civilization can really be reborn....."

.....

Nick kept explaining.

Su Mo looked at the live video, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Long Ming and the upper members of the Federation.

He didn't expect that the Federation did not choose to go alone to be invited this time, but chose to broadcast live publicly.

This is really intended to be transparent, not to make any cover-ups, and to unite all mankind to deal with this cup of heaven.

Su Mo walked to the side of the refrigerator and took out instant noodles and drinks from the refrigerator, he didn't go anywhere today, just stayed at home to watch the live broadcast.

His heart is also getting more and more excited, now that the interstellar ships are real, then the mecha is also real, and he can really touch the mecha when he thinks of turning back.

The blood in Su Mo's body boiled involuntarily.

After preparing everything, Su Mo picked up his phone and glanced at the Transwarp forum. The forums are still super lively, and countless players are posting to discuss the City of Stars and the Cup of Heaven.

They panicked at first, gradually adapted, and began to look forward to a bright future to come.

Of course, there are also many more rational people who use words to dispel their illusions.

"Don't have too good ideas, if you think about it, the difficulty of the Earth Cup must be lower than that of the Sky Cup. Even if we win, how many people will survive in the end, let alone the cup of heaven. And the worst part, this is the real world, not the world of the Cup of Earth, where you can be resurrected even if you die......."
