"How's the current progress?"
Fangzheng asked as he stood by the porthole and looked at the metal buildings outside. Following his question, Iona, who was behind Fangzheng, immediately gave an answer.
"The stargate's construction progress is currently at thirty-five percent. We still need some time."
"Take it slow. We need to stabilize the order within the Star Cluster first."
The distance between the Alfalfa Star Cluster and the other Star Clusters was quite far. If every Star Cluster was a piece of land, then the Alfalfa Star Cluster would be equivalent to an isolated island surrounded by the ocean. Currently, one of the biggest problems for Fangzheng was that he did not have the advanced hyperdrive technology to cross the ocean.
According to the Goddess of Order, the Primordial Goddess did not have a similar teleportation gate because the Order race was born with the ability to directly teleport to any Order location. Therefore, even crossing a star system could be done with a single thought from the Goddess. However, the fleet under Fangzheng obviously did not have this ability. Although the Titan and the Astral Ark both had similar projection and hyperdrive capabilities, it was quite dangerous to rashly launch a projection into the Unknown Star Sector.
Fortunately, Fangzheng still had the interstellar highway technology and mass effect generator technology obtained from Halo's Forerunner and Mass Effect Pioneer. After Little Angel used Sinapus' technology to integrate them, they could start building the stargate. As long as they had the stargate, they could build a solid bridge between the Alfalfa Star Cluster and the other Star Clusters, just like the Sea Bridge.
Fangzheng's current plan was to first repair the defense line within the Alfalfa Star Cluster. There were a total of eighteen stars within the Alfalfa Star Cluster. Among them, the Goddess of Order had built a protective barrier on four of the stars. Of course, because they had not been maintained for many years, these barrier systems were basically in a state of paralysis or half-paralysis.
This also meant that … Fangzheng was going to be squeezed dry again.
Now, Fangzheng only hoped that he could hold on.
After all, he had burned a world previously and obtained quite a lot of firewood. It should be enough to sustain himself.
"Iona, is the First Fleet ready?"
"Ready at any time, Commander."
"Good."
Hearing Iona's words, Fangzheng nodded.
"Next, it's time to welcome the last batch of guests."
Meanwhile, at the spaceport of Tendo Temple, Mary was looking around in astonishment.
Not long ago, she received an order from her perverted mentor, saying that Mary had been selected to participate in the next operation. As for what the operation was, her mentor did not say much. He only asked her to bring a few of her colleagues from the Transmutation Faculty to join them.
"Senior Sister Mary, what exactly are we here for?"
Standing next to Mary was a Shapeshifting Mage who had come to the Heavenly Palace for the first time. She looked around curiously. To someone like her who had lived in the outside world, everything in front of her was like a dream. There were things that she had never imagined before.
"I don't know … What do you think, Delian?"
Mary shook her head and turned to the illusionist lady beside her. But the latter only tidied up her hair.
"I don't know either. My mentor is very mysterious and doesn't want to tell me anything, but it must be something big … Look over there …"
As she spoke, Delian pouted. Mary looked in the direction she indicated and saw hundreds of knights in armour, as well as a dozen priests and clerics.
"That's … the Holy Church?"
"That's right. It's not just them. The Elves are here too, and the Dwarves …"
Indeed, Mary also saw traces of the Elves and Dwarves beside the representatives of the Holy Church. The Elves just stood quietly under the shade of the tree without saying a word. The Dwarves looked around curiously and made a lot of noise. Not far away, there was also a group of Gnomes. They surrounded the 3D projection and were discussing something.
"This reminds me of the Order Parliament."
Mary couldn't help but sigh. Almost all the races in the Order Parliament were here. Of course, not every country was here. For example, Mary found that the representative of the Country of Wealth wasn't here … Well, she didn't like those people who only cared about profit.
As for the Country of Fire … well, that was a thing of the past.
"Ah, teacher!"
At that moment, Mary saw one of her students running over.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
Mary greeted her student with a smile. Her student nodded in response.
"Yes, Lady Tiria ordered me to lead you to the third berth … Ah, please wait a moment …"
As she spoke, the little girl bowed respectfully to Mary, then walked towards the others with her companions. Soon, those people were notified and gathered behind Mary. Well, it was like a gathering before a tour group was about to set off.
"Please follow me."
Holding a triangular yellow flag, the leader of the cursed children led everyone to the direction of the No. 3 berth.
"Really, if it wasn't for the sake of cooperating with these guys, we could've just made an announcement."
Delian complained discontentedly beside Mary. Mary nodded. During her days in the Tendo Temple, she had become completely accustomed to life here. Generally speaking, if she needed to make an announcement or go somewhere to gather, she just needed to make an announcement and it would be received on her personal terminal. Except for some large-scale meetings, most communication could be done this way.
This was much more convenient than the outside.
Unfortunately, these people didn't have personal terminals, so Fangzheng had to send someone to pick them up. Otherwise, they would get lost in such a large port without any guidance.
Soon, under the lead of the little girl, the group arrived at the third berth. A huge steel warship was already waiting there quietly.
"We're going on a warship? Where are we going? "
Seeing the warship, Delian suddenly became excited. They had enjoyed a lot of convenience in the Tendo Temple, but a warship was definitely not one of them. After all, the mental model and the Pale Blue Fleet were the highest security forces of the Tendo Temple. They came here purely for diplomacy and communication. Except for the one time when they first entered the Tendo Temple, they had never boarded a warship again.
But this time was obviously different.
"We're not going to war, are we?"
Mary couldn't help but feel nervous, but Delian seemed very calm.
"A war requires a lot of people. It won't just be a few of us."
"That's true …."
Hearing Delian's answer, Mary breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from the size of these people, they were only at the level of a delegation. They didn't look like they were going to war at all.
Soon, everyone came to the cabin in the front of the warship and sat down. Then, there was a soft sound and a shake. The originally closed steel wall slowly opened, revealing the scenery in front of everyone. Seeing this scene, many people came to the window and looked out. Soon, the warship began to move. It slowly left the berth, then moved towards the sky.
"So fast …."
"Look, I know that continent. That's the Kingdom of the Saint …. My God, the Holy Capital looks so small from the sky …."
Standing by the window and looking at the scene that was getting smaller under their feet, the Elves, the Knights, and the Priests were all very excited. The Gnomes were also quite excited, muttering and shouting at the side. On the contrary, the Dwarves' previous excitement was swept away. They sat nervously in their seats, hugging each other tightly. They didn't even dare to look down.
After all, this was almost equivalent to turning the Dwarves' nightmare into a reality. The Dwarves had always been reluctant to go out of their caves because they were afraid that when they stood on the ground, they would fall into the sky. And now, this scene had obviously become a reality ….
At first, everyone was just lamenting, but soon, their voices turned into surprise.
"Goddess of Order, what am I seeing?!"
"This is our world? Our world is a … ball? "
At this moment, the warship had flown out of the atmosphere, revealing the original appearance of the entire planet in front of everyone.
At this moment, almost everyone was stunned.
Even Mary and Delian were no exception.
Although they had seen similar sci-fi movies more than once in the Tendo Temple, at that time, Mary and Delian did not associate all this with their own world.
But now, they saw the truth of their world with their own eyes, in the most indisputable way.
If Mary, Delian, and a few colleagues were mentally prepared because they had seen similar movies in the Tendo Temple, the others were completely stunned when they saw the scene in front of them.
"I can't believe my eyes. We're living on a ball? Why won't we fall? "
"Because …. Gravity."
Hearing the surprised exclamation of the girl next to her, Mary also replied. After watching so many sci-fi movies, she at least knew a little about the principles.
"Gravity? Senior Mary, do you mean the Gravity Spell? But … .how is that possible? What kind of existence can release such a large-scale magic that the whole world is under the influence of Gravity? "
"Well ….."
Hearing this, Mary was speechless. At most, she knew from the movies that humans could stand on the ground because of gravity. She also knew that the "spaceships" in the movies could simulate gravity by constantly rotating, but as for the specific principles ….. Mary was not very clear.
"Sure enough, this is all the protection of the Goddess of Order …."
The cleric next to her obviously did not think so much. After hearing Mary's explanation, she immediately clenched her hands and placed them on her chest, praising the Goddess of Order in a low voice.
Obviously, compared to mages, the clerics thought that this was the grace of the Goddess of Order. Otherwise, how could humans live on a ball?
"Look, that's the Sapphire River!!"
"The Firmament Mountains! Oh my god, it extends all the way to the end of the earth! "
At this moment, more and more people were lying in front of the window excitedly, looking for familiar scenes. They had never thought that one day they would be able to observe the world they once lived in from this angle. It was a great shock to them, especially when they realized that the city they once lived in was so small compared to this land, and the people who lived in it were like grains of sand. An indescribable shudder, fear, and excitement enveloped almost everyone.
Only the Dwarves were still hugging each other and shivering. For them who had lived in caves all their lives, the outside world was really scary!
They still preferred a place with the earth above their heads!
The spaceship took them around the whole planet, then flew into the distance. Soon, they saw a new existence.
"Look!"
When the spaceship turned around again, they were surprised to find that not far from their planet, there was a huge fortress made of steel that was constantly shining.
That was the bridgehead of the exploration of the sea of stars, Star City.
