The spectacular scene of thousands of Markov's blue bar did not last long. It was just that staring at the progress bar made one feel that time was passing very slowly. The whole process took less than seven minutes. As the World Gate emitted a soft glow, the entire fleet had been transferred to another universe.
The World Gate on the home side was as lively as ever. Busy transport fleets and brightly lit space buildings could be seen everywhere around the gate. As soon as Hao Ren led the fleet out, he received at least a few hundred signals from private tour groups that were sending people to different parts of the universe. The lively scene was really different from the lonely gate in the opposite universe. But the private fleets quickly dispersed. The shining imperial military emblem on the Petrachelys and the huge migration fleet behind it made the ships in the port realize that it was an imperial official ship on a mission. Before Hao Ren could send out the pre-stored evacuation notice in the onboard mainframe, he found that the surroundings had quieted down. The transport fleet following behind the Petrachelys saw the situation and immediately started spamming in the public channel. "Make way, make way, Imperial mission, Imperial mission …" "Fleet in front, please make way, I am on a special mission, the 'Distant Planet' is on an imperial mission …" "This ship is the imperial official partner 'Yaolong', ships in front, please make way …" "883 passenger and cargo transport ship, a century-old brand, trustworthy …"
Hao Ren stomped his foot and pointed at the group of captains behind him. "What the heck, can you guys not do this?"
883 chuckled. "Don't look at me, it's not against the rules …"
Hao Ren asked the MDT to set the destination to Peatopia and turned on the autopilot. The Petrachelys led the huge migration fleet out of the World Gate while Lily strolled back to the bridge. Seeing that Hilda was not with them, Hao Ren asked curiously, "Where's Hilda?"
"In the warehouse, telling stories to a group of children." Lily climbed back into her chair and yawned. "I really don't know what's there to tell about the shape of mountains, rivers and clouds. I got bored so I came back."
Hao Ren could more or less understand what Hilda was thinking. He just smiled and did not say anything.
After a period of hyperspace travel, the onboard mainframe said emotionlessly, "Autopilot terminated." The migration fleet finally arrived at the destination of the trip: a primitive planet with a vast ocean and dense jungles, a habitable planet that was rich in resources.
Above the planet's synchronous orbit, brilliant lights appeared one after another as the huge migration fleet jumped out of hyperspace and floated quietly in space. Along with them were the special force field barges. These advanced spaceships had brought the eleven Aerymian floating islands, including Darklight Isle, to the new planet. Now, these huge space cities began to orbit above the planet like satellites.
"Well … the impact of these masses on the planet's orbit is negligible. It seems that there is no need for additional adjustments." The MDT turned on the special equipment on the Petrachelys to examine and calculate the impact of the floating islands on the planet. "First, we need to send forward outposts and early supplies to the surface. It's not easy for large spaceships to land, so the Petrachelys will be the vanguard. The landing site is on the beach we went to last time. It's quite spacious over there."
The Petrachelys slowly accelerated away from the fleet. Hao Ren turned on the broadcast system in the spacecraft to inform the passengers that they had arrived at the station. But before he could say anything, Lily jumped up. The husky maiden's energetic voice echoed in the cargo bay. "Hello, everyone. I'm Lily, the first officer of the ship! The voyage is over, and now we are about to land on the surface of the planet. Passengers, please check your luggage, children and wives. Please line up in an orderly manner. There's no need to check your tickets! "
After the broadcast, Lily patted her chest contentedly and giggled at Hao Ren. "Yay, I'm satisfied. I've always thought that the people in the broadcast station are so cool …"
Vivian snorted at Lily's behavior. "Look at your little pursuit."
Hao Ren was still in a daze. Even he, the captain of the Petrachelys, was a decoration to ward off evil spirits. Since when did Lily become the first officer?
The spacecraft soon landed smoothly on the new planet. Hao Ren and the rest first left the spacecraft and ran outside. Y 'zaks took a deep breath of the slightly salty seaside air. "Nothing has changed since we left … Ha, look over there, the place where we lit the fire last time is still there."
The special gate of the warehouse had not been opened yet. The elves were already ready to leave the spacecraft and set foot on the new world. But before that, there was one more important step to confirm: as early as three days ago, Hao Ren had asked Hilda to gather some Aerymian volunteers. These volunteers had undergone a comprehensive and detailed body scan in the medical bay on the Petrachelys. Now, the scan results would be used for the final step of comparison with the local environment.
Although they had done the comparison using historical data a few days ago, it was still a technical requirement to do another test at this time. It was always better to have an extra layer of insurance.
The MDT monitored the environmental parameters, including the microbial environment. "Hmm … The results are consistent with the previous records. The environmental compatibility is above 80%. There may be some troublesome local diseases that will trouble the new immigrants in a short period of time, but as long as the control is good, there will be no major problems."
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. "Open the gate!"
The rear door of the Petrachelys opened silently. However, Hao Ren waited for a long time, but no one came down.
He ran in to check the situation, only to find a large group of elves standing in the corridor between the gate and the warehouse. They were lined up neatly, but no one moved. He saw the situation and immediately called out, "What are you waiting for? Come out! This is your home from now on! "
Hilda also came out from behind the crowd. She encouraged the elves standing at the front of the line. "Don't be nervous, everyone. Go out. Everything is real."
Under the encouragement of Hao Ren and Hilda, finally, some elves hesitantly took the first step. After the first example appeared, everyone else moved.
The sunlight outside was a little dazzling.
The elves who left the spacecraft set foot on the alien land in a daze. Some looked up in confusion. They were surprised and even anxious when they saw the high and distant blue sky.
The mountains in the distance.
The boundless ocean in front of them.
The lush primitive jungle.
Everything was real.
Many of the elves who left the spaceship first inevitably fell into a daze. Their footsteps stopped involuntarily, and it was only when the people behind them pushed them forward that they could not help but move forward. There were people who kept falling as they stared at the distant scenery or were lost in thought. The scene could almost be described as eerie. Soon, more and more elves did the same thing: they looked up at the sky, swaying in the dazzling sky. Then, many of them suddenly closed their eyes, bowed their heads, and squatted on the ground in fear as if the blue sky and white clouds were terrible things.
"What's going on?" Hao Ren looked at Hilda strangely.
"We have never seen the real sky," Hilda said faintly. "Everyone only knows what the dome looks like since they are born. Even if we see the scenery of our hometown from the video data, we can't really understand what it is like. I had the same reaction when I saw the sky for the first time. It's so vast, so high, like a boundless inverted abyss. I feel like I'm falling into it. It's hard for you to understand this feeling, isn't it?"
Hao Ren was speechless.
"They will adapt soon. They have to adapt." Hilda quietly looked at the elves who showed fear toward the sky. "From now on, we will not live with our heads down."
The waves lapped on the beach, and the sound of the wind and water echoed in the ears of the elves who had set foot on the planet for the first time. Finally, some people recalled the rituals and traditions passed down by their ancestors, and the historical heritage from the era of the planet, which had long been weathered away along with the glorious and fertile era of Aerym. Some people chanted ancient songs, some bent down to kiss the ground covered with rough sand, they blessed and thanked the land that was about to start nurturing them. The elves who initially bowed their heads because of their "sky-phobia" plucked up their courage and began to move supplies under the command of the team commander, ready to build a simple camp.
Hilda stood on a rock by the beach and gazed into the distance. Even though she was already a Holy Spirit, she still felt excited.
"The first dynasty of Aerym built their first city by the sea," she turned and said to her subjects who had gathered behind her. "So let us build our new capital here, in the name of our savior."
Hao Ren nodded with emotion, and then suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Don't! You better think of a better name! "
