The wrecked spaceship in The Plane of Dreams had been lying at the bottom of the Blood Lake for several months, and it had been more than a month since Hao Ren issued the notice. Now, the owner of the spaceship finally showed up. It turned out that they were not a force of a civilization sphere, but a pioneering business group. This kind of organization did not belong to the official forces, and they usually lurked in remote corners where transportation and information were inconvenient. Of course, their reaction was a little slow.
Hao Ren took the opportunity to inquire about the pioneering business group and found out that it was a phenomenon unique to the stage of interstellar development.
The universe was vast and there were many stars. With the support of sufficient scientific and technological power, the colonial options and various opportunities faced by a race that stepped into the stars were amazing. Although these opportunities were accompanied by risks, for some brave pioneers who pursued these opportunities, the risks did not matter. The pioneering business group was such a group of people. They often came from different races and even different civilization spheres. Their predecessors were merchants, mercenaries, exiled politicians, and even pirates. They had their own huge financial resources and power, and they had the ability to build their own kingdom in this vast universe. Some races supported their members in this kind of pioneering, and they would form a form of civilization like a city-state union. Some more conservative races made private pioneering illegal. But no matter what the system was, the interstellar pioneering had never stopped, and it was bound to spread throughout the universe. The extreme vastness and emptiness of the universe made it difficult for ordinary civilization spheres to restrict this kind of pioneering behavior. Therefore, the colonized planets established by the pioneering business group developed in the gaps between the major civilization spheres. These colonized planets may initially be just a transit station for pirates or merchants, but when they developed to a certain scale, they were capable of stepping onto the interstellar stage and began to be active as small kingdoms. After being recognized by a certain civilization sphere, these small kingdoms, which usually only had single-digit colonized planets, also gained legal interstellar status.
Under normal circumstances, such a small kingdom would not be very large. They had their own tricks to survive in the cracks of behemoths such as the "civilization sphere". Even though their social forms, living styles, and development processes were vastly different, the major civilization spheres still uniformly referred to such small kingdoms as "states" (free translation) for convenience's sake.
Since half of the Pioneer Groups were merchants or at least called themselves merchants, the Pioneer Groups that established a territory, regardless of whether they were merchants, pirates, or mercenaries, were collectively referred to as "Pioneer Merchant Groups" in the Civilization Spheres.
An organization that called itself the "Kabala Commonwealth" had just claimed the wreckage that Hao Ren had announced. This organization was a union of more than a dozen pioneering business groups. Such unions were common among pioneering business groups. Most of the members of the organization were pioneers from the Kerbalian Civilisation Sphere. The Kerbalian Civilisation Sphere was a young civilisation that was extremely passionate about interstellar exploration. They officially supported any interstellar exploration activity that did not violate the Imperial Code. Hence, there were many small kingdoms in the desolate regions around the Kerbalian Civilisation Sphere that were busy developing. Now, the civilization sphere had confirmed the legitimacy of the Kabala Commonwealth through official channels and sent a series of documents to help prove the latter's ownership of the wrecked spaceship.
Hao Ren just had to wait until tomorrow or the day after to meet the representatives of the little green men at Kuiper Station.
When Y 'zaks came back, Hao Ren told everyone about it. Everyone (except for the clueless Becky and Lil Pea who only knew how to hold her chopsticks) was happy. They were relieved that the cold case had been solved. Y 'zaks thought further ahead. "We still have to figure out how to transport the spaceship out of the Plane of Dreams, right? Isn't the Wall of Reality very unstable? "
"I've discussed it with the MDT. There's a very feasible process." Hao Ren nodded. "First of all, the spaceship is an inanimate object. It won't cause too much harm when it passes through the Wall of Reality. Secondly, it's transporting the spaceship from the Plane of Dreams to the real world. The whole process won't cause too much impact. The only problem is to let the spaceship owner and their engineering team enter the Plane of Dreams and 'pry' the spaceship out from the bottom of the lake without alerting the local natives."
"I've applied for a large-scale conversion device. It will arrive in a few days. It can be installed in Kuiper Station. There are plenty of unused work cabins there. With that device, the entire engineering team can be transported to the Plane of Dreams through 'dreams'. This kind of teleportation is very safe. The engineering machinery will be brought in through Hao Ren's Dimensional Pocket, "the MDT added." The landing point should be near the Blood Lake. I don't know if the natives are still searching for the Blood Lake. We'll just have to improvise. Anyway, we have high-tech equipment. If worse comes to worst, we can create a big explosion nearby to lure the local garrison away. As long as the engineering team can dive to the bottom of the lake, we'll be fine. I've learned about the technical level of the Kabbalah Commonwealth. Their own engineering team can handle this kind of construction. "
Hao Ren nodded. "I've also arranged some other details."
"That's good." Y 'zaks smiled and touched his shiny bald head. "Since you have a plan, I don't have to worry about it. But, what's wrong with Lily? "
Lily had the back of her chair facing forward. She was lying on the back of the chair in a very awkward position, listening to the conversation. Behind her was a tail that was tied like a chicken leg. But, it was obvious that the maiden was in a good mood. The prospect of her tail recovering made her not feel that the gauze on her back was ugly. "Don't worry about me. I'm doing my beauty treatment."
Hao Ren sighed. "This is the first time I've heard of someone doing their beauty treatment on the buttocks …"
As soon as Lily heard this, she roared loudly and pounced over with her claws and fangs bared.
However, the fight only lasted for a few seconds before it was interrupted. Becky, who had been listening in silence for a long time, suddenly came to a realization. "Oh! Can I take this opportunity to go home now? "
Hao Ren was raising his fist to resist Lily's steel teeth. When he heard Becky's words, he froze on the spot. Before Lily could react, she bit his arm. His Steel Membrane Shield was activated on the spot. There was a metallic clang. Lily covered her mouth and left Hao Ren's arm in tears. "You bastard … Why didn't you dodge?"
"Ahem …" Hao Ren tried to keep his expression natural. He tried hard to think of a way to fool Becky. But, he realized that he could not delay the question for long. Becky was not stupid. She had stayed on Earth for so many days out of curiosity. Now, it seemed impossible to make her forget about going home completely. Avoiding the question would only make her suspicious.
Some things had to be said sooner or later. Hao Ren felt that it was better to get the pain over with. Finally, he sighed and said, "Becky … I have something to tell you. You … drink some water first."
Becky took the glass of water from Vivian. Then, Hao Ren knocked on the MDT again. "Play some soothing music."
Finally, he took out a Buddhist scripture and handed it to Becky. "Read two more pages of Buddhist scripture to calm your mind. It would be better if you could sit down and have an epiphany …"
Becky could not help but ask, "What are you trying to say?"
Hao Ren spread out his hands and said, "Actually, you can't go back. Strictly speaking, you can only go back for a short time. But you can't stay in The Plane of Dreams for a long time. You've already become a complete Earthling just like us … "
The glass of water in Becky's hand almost fell to the ground. She was stunned and asked, "What … do you mean?"
Hao Ren then told her the whole story. In the end, he emphasized on the fragile connection between The Plane of Dreams and the real world, and the serious consequences of forcibly placing a creature from the real world in The Plane of Dreams for a long time.
After listening to him, Becky did not move for a long time. The expression on her face kept changing. It was hard to tell what she was thinking. Hao Ren made sure that the girl was not going to attack him for the time being. Then, he cautiously said, "Actually, you can be more open-minded. You can still go home. It's just that each time you go home, it's only for a short time. Just think of it as moving from The Plane of Dreams to Earth. Apart from being forced to move, it's actually not that big of a deal … "
Becky waved her hand and interrupted Hao Ren. "It's okay, I understand … I just want some peace and quiet now. And don't ask me who peace and quiet is."
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. She could still talk nonsense, which meant that it was not a big problem.
