Chapter 1363 A Corner of the World Tree
After many days of sailing, the Polaris finally arrived at the orbital elevator island city - Tianzhu City.
Standing on the deck and looking at the gradually growing Tianzhu City, the four members of the Niyu team actually had an illusion that they were in another world.
"We seem to have only been away for about half a month? Why does it feel like we've been away for years?"
Shin Asuka leaned on the railing and looked at the island city in the distance.
"I do not know either."
Sally shrugged her shoulders, not dwelling on the question, but mentally planning what to eat tonight.
"Tsk. That's boring."
Shin Asuka glanced at Sally and turned his face away with disdain.
On the other side, Sasha and Stella, who were also leaning on the railing, were playing a coin guessing game with Xiaoying. From time to time, bursts of silver bell-like laughter were heard, which attracted the attention of the seagulls of the Polaris, which was slowly landing on the sea and preparing to enter the scheduled route to the port, and they couldn't help but fly over.
Seeing this, Sasha put his hand behind Xiaoying, fearing that those ignorant seagulls would mistake Xiaoying for prey.
Little did people know that Xiaoying was not afraid of the seagulls that landed on the railings. Instead, she flapped her wings and flew over, baring her teeth and looking ferocious.
As a result, both sides looked at each other, and finally a few seagulls opened their mouths wide and leaned back slightly, making a movement similar to that of humans leaning back slightly when laughing. Xiaoying was so angry that she waved her little fists, rushed forward, and beat these ungrateful seagulls away in a few moves.
At this moment, all members of the Niyu team were stunned.
How could no one have realized that the cute and lovable Xiaoying had such terrifying killing power, and she could easily drive away the seagulls that were several times bigger than her palm.
"Hey! Sister, Stella, Xiaoying is Chengying's electronic fairy! If she gets ruthless, these seagulls will probably become a pile of meat paste."
Sally coughed and winked at her shocked sister and Stella.
I guess they are two more poor people who were deceived by Xiaoying's cute and delicate appearance.
"Hmph! I want you to take care of it!"
After giving him a fierce glare, Stella took a few steps forward and hugged Xiaoying, who was standing on the railing and showing off to the seagulls flying into the sky.
"Xiaoying, let's go!"
The fierce gaze made Sally shrink his neck involuntarily, thinking that it was not good, he had offended the terrifying devil.
After taking his eyes off his brother, Sasha patted Stella on the shoulder.
"Let's go back to the cabin!"
"Ok!"
Just as the two of them were carrying Xiaoying back to the cabin, they happened to meet He Ming and Salamantini who were walking towards them.
"Big brother, Sister Sarah."
Stella smiled sweetly and greeted him warmly. Xiaoying also cheered, flew to He Ming's shoulder, raised her hand and pointed at the seagulls in the sky, chirping and complaining.
When He Ming raised his eyes, the seagulls that were still circling the Polaris, as if they mistook the Polaris for a moving land, suddenly fled in all directions, leaving behind bursts of squeaking screams.
"Humph!"
Seeing the seagulls fleeing in all directions, Xiaoying immediately put his hands on his hips and raised his little head in a proud manner.
He Ming shook his head and looked at the Niyu team.
"Since you are all here, I will inform you directly. After the Polaris enters the port, it will need to carry out loading and unloading operations for a scheduled period of 72 hours. By then, you can go ashore and return home to report your safety, and also take this opportunity to have a good rest on shore."
"Yes! General!"
The four members of the Niyu team responded one after another.
During this period of time, the four members of the Niyu team also understood how the army operated internally.
Once He Ming communicates with the Niyu team in a commanding tone, the four of them will immediately switch modes and respond to He Ming with the correct identity.
"Well, that's about it! Relax! There will be another operation in three days. Be prepared!"
"understand!"
After the four members of the Niyu team left, He Ming looked at the cargo ships that appeared on the left and right sides of the Polaris, as well as the increasingly busy air routes in the distant sky, and nodded unconsciously.
“This is the hope for humanity in this world.”
Salamantini stood beside He Ming, holding his sword, and stared at the orbital elevator that crossed the sky. "Yes. The East Asian Republic knows exactly what they need and what they should do. This is very good."
What a nod.
"Is this why you chose the East Asian Republic, my lord?"
"Maybe!"
He Ming's eyes gradually became deeper.
Maybe it's fate.
Maybe it's a trace of affection in the blood.
Perhaps the East Asian Republic in this world is very much to He Ming's liking,
Anyway, no matter how you think about it, there will always be a bunch of reasons.
Compared with these reasons, the most important thing is that this country understands its situation, understands what it wants, and understands the price it needs to pay. Therefore, He Ming doesn't mind giving it a push.
"Have you found out the origin of the World Tree?"
Facing the sea breeze, He Ming saw the warship appearing on the sea ahead.
"There are still some doubts. But overall, their purpose should be clear."
"Tell me about it!"
"Yes."
Salamantini organized his words.
"According to the information fed back by the intelligence channels, the World Tree first appeared some time after the end of the last war."
"After the war? Is it a force gathered by those who are unwilling to accept defeat?"
He Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's possible. But the first thing that appeared in the intelligence, and the record that can be found at present, is that the other party suddenly appeared in a forum and communicated with the members of the forum as a sympathizer."
"Forum? A secret organization that uses the Internet as an intelligence channel?"
Salamantini shook his head.
"That was only in the early days. This forum was originally a place where some soldiers from the Earth Federation spontaneously organized themselves to support each other and vent their grievances. But for some reason, after an ID calling himself Odin appeared, these soldiers gradually began to behave strangely."
"Weird?"
He Ming lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then pointed to the rail elevator that spanned the sky.
"Do those people regard orbital elevators as evil?"
"Your Excellency is wise."
Salamantini said respectfully.
"No, this is not wise. The other party's ID has already revealed everything. Odin. This is the name of the main god in the Norse mythology system among the many mythological systems in the human world."
"The name of the Lord God?"
Salamantini hesitated for a moment.
"Could it be that this Odin wants to become a god?"
"I don't know! But Sarah, in this Norse mythology system, there is a sacred existence called the World Tree, and it can connect the nine worlds together by itself."
He Ming spread his palms towards the orbital elevator and held everything around him in his hands.
"Sarah, do you think the orbital elevator is similar to the world tree in mythology in some sense?"
Salamantini was stunned, then immediately understood.
"Does the other party want to use the World Tree's name to destroy the orbital elevator and make humans lose their solar power generation system?"
"In the name of God, we will gather the soldiers who suffered defeat in the last war, and absorb the fanatics who have nowhere to vent their extreme anti-adjusters or anti-natural people emotions in the prosperous scene since the advent of the orbital elevator and solar power generation system. Then, we will drive them and make them the sword to destroy the orbital elevator and solar power generation system."
He Ming's voice gradually became deeper.
"This Odin does have some tricks."
