Back then, when Xu Le first saw the Great Teacher's face, he had the urge to smash this face into a pile of mud. It was not because of anything else, but because this face was too beautiful. It was so beautiful that it made people of the same gender envious and jealous. They wanted to stomp their feet and destroy it tirelessly. Therefore, he understood very well how a young girl growing up in the spring breeze would be shocked when she saw this face.
But when he saw that Little Watermelon, who had always regarded him as her idol, was actually looking at another man, even though he was an old man, he couldn't help but feel unhappy. He pulled the girl to his side with a sullen face and warned her, "Don't be fooled by his looks. He's actually a lunatic."
Zhong Huoyan obviously did not care about his warning. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at the Great Teacher without blinking. She sighed and said, "Even if he is a lunatic, he must be the most beautiful lunatic in the universe … I say, uncle, how did your face grow?"
The Great Teacher looked at the two of them proudly and said, "Cute little princess from the West Woods, this is a secret. If you want to know, we can talk more during this period of time."
"Isn't that disgusting?" Xu Le frowned and looked at him. "Since you are old enough to be her grandfather, don't pretend to be those wretched uncles."
After entering the house, there were three cups of tea and a plate of snacks. It was a very simple reception. Xu Le sat cross-legged on the dark wooden floor and nodded slightly as a greeting. Then, he began the most important matter of this trip — asking questions.
"My first question is, where did Feng Yu go after returning to the Empire with you? Sister said that she got off the spaceship early. In the end, he and you returned to Tianjing Planet together. "
Great Teacher Fan gently held the two corners of his white robe and shook it forward to cover his bare legs. He picked up the red mud teacup from the short table and slowly took a sip. Only when Xu Le was about to lose his patience did he answer,
"I don't know where Feng Yu went. You know that cowardly and shameless teacher of yours, but he is just a little stronger than me. I have to admit that I can't beat him. Furthermore, I owed him a favor last time, so I was too embarrassed to ask Fu Chai for help. Once he helped me, it would be a fight to the death. It doesn't suit my style."
Xu Le leaned forward slightly and asked, "What about that ship? Are you on that ship? It's the ship that your father took to the Federation, the same ship that the female ancestor of the Hua Family took to cross the Milky Way to the Empire. "
"It seems that Shika-chan didn't give you an answer. After all, she hasn't experienced this before." Master Fan put down the teacup and sighed with a lingering regret, "The appearance is the same as my Hua family's boat, so it should be that one. But Nasri did not lie on the wetland. The most important chips should have been removed and used to make those camouflage chips. It is precisely for this reason that I am too lazy to ask him for the boat back."
Zhong Huoyan interrupted with a teasing smile, "Is it because you can't beat him?"
Master Fan opened his eyes wide and said, "This has nothing to do with fists. That was originally my family's boat. Although my father gave it to that guy, if I really wanted it, would he have the nerve to not give it to me?"
Xu Le listened to the quarrel between the old man and the young man. His right hand slowly touched his left wrist. His fingertips gently slid across the surface of the warm metal bracelet, feeling the psychological touch brought by the small line of words. He thought silently that most of the chips that Feng Yu removed should be in this bracelet.
"What about the star map? Last time, in the room full of black cloth, you told me that you know where the star map is and what the star map is. "
He looked at the Great Teacher's beautiful eyes that were like black gemstones and asked in a low voice, "Those chips won't fundamentally affect the control of the spaceship. If we get the star map again, can it fly back?"
The content of this sentence was a little strange, or rather, the way he asked the question was a little strange. If the spaceship could fly back, where did it go back? Master Fan slowly sat up straight and looked at Xu Le's face silently. After a while, he said, "Although I said it before, I didn't expect you to have guessed most of the puzzle. I can only say that after such a long journey, the spaceship can no longer cross the galaxy as bravely and valiantly as it did in the beginning."
After a short pause, he continued calmly, "The content of the star map is similar to what you guessed. I also told you where the star map was last time, but you didn't get it back to me."
"It's very difficult for me to return to the Federation now, especially the capital ring. The ground-to-air defense system there has been greatly improved. I have no doubt that if I tried to get close to the Old Moon base, I would be directly blown to pieces by those ground-to-air laser cannons."
Master Fan smiled and lamented, "The last time I went to the Federation, I didn't get to see my beautiful niece. Other than regret, not being able to get the star map is the biggest loss. Fortunately, neither Lee Jae-do nor the lady behind Mochou know that the star map is hidden in the bracelet on her wrist."
Xu Le looked at the thick soup in the red clay teacup in silence. His fingertips slowly moved away from the bracelet on his left wrist.
"It seems that you have a lot of questions to ask after coming all the way to Tianjing to find me." Master Fan smiled and looked at him. "Nasri, the spaceship, the star map, what do you want to know?"
"I want to know the origin of the Empire, what is going on with the ancestral planet, and if the Hua family came from the ancestral planet, how did you get here?"
Xu Le looked back into his eyes and said, "Due to some reasons that are inconvenient for me to explain, I am very interested in some of the technology that the Hua family brought from the ancestral planet."
"First of all, you need to make one thing clear. At least half of the blood flowing in your body carries the biological mark of the Hua family. Since you're unwilling to admit that your surname is Huai, then you should at least admit that this is our Hua family, and not some f * cking Hua family."
Master Fan looked at him, frowned, and said, "If I tell you this, then what interesting information do you have to give back to me? Now, we can basically confirm that the Federation and the Empire came from the same civilization. You are so obsessed with the future of the Empire, then where did the people of the Federation come from? "
Xu Le put his hands on his knees and looked down. Seeing that the tea in the cup had calmed down, he calmed down and looked straight into Master Fan's eyes. He said, "Yes, I do know some things recently. Do you want to know?"
Master Fan's face was expressionless. He dipped his finger into the teacup, dipped it in some of the cold tea, and then put it into his ear, scratching it in an extremely ungraceful manner.
The old, middle-aged, and young people in the room sat cross-legged. There were three red mud teacups on the dark sandalwood floor. It was just a scene of sitting and chatting. However, because of the content that was about to be discussed, because of Master Fan's ear scratching, the atmosphere in the quiet room suddenly became heavy. The wooden door closed on its own, cutting off the fragrance of flowers, the morning breeze, and the distant voices of people outside.
It was because at this moment, they were going to talk about the origins of the Federation and the Empire that no one knew about. This was, without a doubt, the biggest topic of all, the heaviest topic of all.
"I don't trust your way of doing things, but I trust your conduct in life. I ask that you keep this topic a secret. Otherwise, if it gets back to the Federation, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."
After saying this, Xu Le silently stopped talking. He moved back and gave the authority to narrate the story to Zhong Huoyan, who had been silent all this time. The reason for this was probably because he felt that his ability to express himself was not enough to use the simplest words to describe the scene.
Zhong Huoyan drank a mouthful of tea and moistened her throat. She said in a clear voice, "According to the records in the central database of the Federation …"
"Wait a moment." The Great Teacher raised a finger and interrupted her. He looked at Xu Le and asked, "From what the little girl is saying, after you escaped from the Federation, you were still able to enter the Charter computer?"
Zhong Huoyan frowned slightly and said, "Sir, can you be a little more polite? Even in class, you can't just randomly interrupt my content."
It was obvious that the girl had returned to the memories of her role as a village teacher. She glanced at the embarrassed Great Teacher and continued, "Before the Great Catastrophe, when the home planet was destroyed by some kind of terrifying weapon, the humans at that time had been preparing for interstellar migration. And this was the beginning of this story.
"The civilization of the previous generation was obviously more advanced than ours. With the support of powerful technology, their spaceships were able to pass through the dark sky and ignore the long vacuum between the big galaxies. They came to the galaxy where the Federation was located. Then, with great luck, they found a few planets that were very suitable for human survival.
"Since they were preparing for interstellar migration, then the modification of the planets had been ongoing since the beginning. The humans of the previous generation had been preparing for a very long time. It could have been thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, or even longer. They chose three planets, S1, S2, and S3, as experimental planets and carried out a long period of natural environment cultivation and modification work.
"It was also because of the factor of luck that the distance between the three experimental planets and the main stars of their respective galaxies was perfect. The surface covered by the primitive atmosphere could enjoy enough and suitable light."
Zhong Huoyan calmly explained, "So, the humans of that time didn't need to wear spacesuits and stand on the black reef shouting for light. The first thing they needed to do was to modify the atmosphere that was full of methane and simultaneously eliminate the primitive moss life on the three experimental planets.
"This is a very simple description, but we all know that what we can explain in a few words is a very huge comprehensive project for human society, even for the advanced civilization of the previous generation. It required a terrifying amount of resources and the lifetime efforts of generations of the most advanced scientists.
"Originally, I wanted to make some slides and use images to describe the development of this great civilization, but that would take too much time."
Zhong Huoyan continued, "According to the vague records in the central database of the Federation, the modification of the three planets by the previous civilization mostly relied on the automatic control of the spaceships. Only machines that ignored the passage of time to a certain extent could travel with the spaceships across the boundless galaxy.
"Imagine the picture. Countless spaceships that carried the most advanced hubs of the mechanical civilization took off from the surface of the home planet incessantly like arrows. With unstoppable determination and disdain for time, they flew to the other end of the dark universe.
Master Fan clenched his hands and exclaimed excitedly, "That was a magnificent era."
