Extra Story Saving Private Ed(2/4)
Ambassador Liao looked away from the glass window and then turned and entered the conference area.
In about twenty hours, the Stargate will enter the extremely low temperature zone, with the temperature at night plummeting to minus 184 degrees Fahrenheit. If you want to leave before then, you must hurry up.
Except for representatives from the Russian Federation, most representatives from participating countries arrived via Space Elevator 07 and Space Elevator 03. Those two space elevators are in the second orbit. They pass under the Stargate Port every seventy-four hours.
once.
The door to the conference area opened and we pushed in. The atmosphere inside was very tense, and representatives of several responsible countries were shirking responsibilities to each other.
"I'll reiterate again, Mr. Ambassador Travell, the Stargate data is not in our hands. Our statistics are based on the entry and exit registration process, but stowaways are not included in this."
"Please pay attention to your wording. There were no stowaways. It was just an accident." Another person argued.
"Very good, it seems that we have at least determined a unified caliber for external propaganda, but before that, at least find the fucking people-"
"This will take time. We have found the guy who brought people in and he is still comparing photos."
"In the past eight months, nearly 13,000 chosen people have entered or left, and the number of tourists is several times that. Mr. Savage, you told me that he is still 'comparing photos'. God, this is so...
When will we wait? I can tell you clearly that my people are keeping the news media out. As for how long it can be delayed, only God knows. Don’t we have other more high-tech means?"
"There is no way, we have too little information." Someone sighed in the noisy conference area.
"Perhaps we can ask him to describe what that cute big boy looks like. After all, our current intelligent recognition success rate is already very high, with an expectation value of more than 96%. In this way, we can filter out nearly 80% of the
Options."
"Good idea, then who will bear the responsibility for the remaining 3.0% probability?" The representative of the United States of America sat on his chair, looked at the others and asked: "If you don't mind, you can raise
Hand vote."
The conference area suddenly fell silent.
You look at me, I look at you, everyone is glaring at each other. Almost six years have passed since the July incident, but the aftermath has not gone away, which has had a great impact on the positive image of the Chosen.
At that time, the number of unlucky people who went to jail for dereliction of duty was no less than the number of attendees today.
"Why are there still stowaways now?" someone couldn't help complaining.
Everyone turned their attention to Ambassador Liao who walked in through the door.
The Chinese representatives couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but they had no choice. Who said it was the people on their side who had the problem? They also had a headache. Why are there still stowaways today when the tourist routes have gradually been standardized?
What kind of psychosis is this!
Isn't this just looking for something to do?
But they still had to pay attention to this matter. The July incident was a reminder. Thinking about that scene, everyone sitting here shuddered.
"It's been so long and nothing has been found about the name Ed?"
Ambassador Liao sat down and shook his head at everyone: "Since this month, we have urgently checked the entry and exit lists for the past six months, but we have not found such a person."
"Maybe they are Chinese from other nationalities."
"Wait a minute, there's news," suddenly the Indian representative shouted: "Everyone, you'd better take a look at this. Ed Rollin, born in the age of magic, the greatest alchemist in history, modern alchemy
One of the founders of."
"What the hell is this?"
"There is no doubt that that is a fake name," the man couldn't help holding his forehead. "Of course, the big boy may not have meant it. I suspect that he may have said his ID in the new world."
"But he hadn't entered the new world yet—"
"You know, this is what half-grown children are like," the person who spoke first replied angrily: "The damn malfeasant should be responsible for this. He actually believed in this name. With such an IQ, he actually
Do you still dare to take on private work?"
Everyone's eyes are once again on the Chinese area.
The Chinese representative’s face turned dark.
"It's not all without success," Ambassador Liao said to Xini, "At least we know that the child may be an alchemist, and the scope of the investigation is much smaller."
Although it is said to be a lot less, the tone does not sound relaxed at all.
It was at this time that the personal communicator in his suit pocket suddenly lit up and buzzed.
Ambassador Liao stood up and made an "Sorry, wait a moment" gesture to the others. He came to a quiet place alone, pressed the answer button on the earphone, and then said: "Hello, who is your Excellency?"
"Liao," a hoarse and deep voice came from the earphones: "Do you have a personal terminal at hand? You'd better take a look at a post on the Aitaria United Community. It was posted in your China area——"
"Community?"
He subconsciously raised his head and looked out through the glass window of the circular corridor.
Outside is the living area of ‘Ouroboros Ring’——
About half an hour ago, Scape, accompanied by other members of the Dawn Star Adventure Group, was going through the final procedures for the Chosen One to retire.
The staff member looked at her several times before confirming again: "Miss Scarpe, your entry and exit records show that you are an American citizen. Do you really want to sell your 'property' to us? I'm sorry.
, I have to confirm, so as not to cause too many disputes, this is the office of the Russian Federation."
Scarpe glanced at Querod beside her tenderly, and replied with a smile: "Yes, I am very sure of my choice. In addition, I also need a permanent residence in the Russian Federation."
The staff member looked at the two people with a sudden realization and couldn't help but laugh: "I understand, of course there is no problem. The Russian Federation welcomes any candidate, whether former or current. In addition, I wish you both good luck."
"Thanks."
"So do we need to settle the remaining information in the glow material now?" The staff member asked: "As a reminder, if death leaves Aitaria, more than half of the information stored in the glow material will be lost. Specifically
How many are left need to be counted again, I hope the lady can understand——"
Scarpe nodded, of course she knew that this was no longer the barbaric era in the past, and many rules and regulations had long been standardized.
This is the fundamental reason why the chosen ones can get support from all countries.
In the middle of this century, humans decoded the "second type elements", the information residue of the high-dimensional universe, from the starlight material recovered from the hast042 area of the asteroid belt. And through the exploration of the second type of elements, they finally discovered it.
A series of information from the high-dimensional universe was deconstructed - in fact, it was later discovered that it was a complete set of drawings.
That is the origin of this everlasting star gate.
The technology of the Star Gate is not only the establishment of a long-term channel between the Earth and Etalia, but more importantly, the large number of peripheral technologies that people have obtained from the construction of the Star Gate, which has made human science and production levels significantly higher in this century.
The second half of the page has achieved great progress and development.
And this is the core and focus of mankind's struggle for the second type of element (starlight) - because starlight seems to be a rich heritage from the high-dimensional universe, symbolizing the possibility of technology and progress.
In the early days, various countries competed fiercely for Aitaria. According to the provisions of the "Suva Declaration", several permanent members and sub-powerful countries entered the Star Gate with organized armies, which soon triggered a war in Aitaria.
started a protracted war.
On the one hand, this war aroused strong resistance from the indigenous people, and on the other hand, the participating countries felt that the gains outweighed the losses.
The main reason is that with the retirement of the first generation of selectors, humans have gradually mastered the way of grabbing resources in the new world - recording the gains of the selectors in the new world - knowledge, skills, experience and equipment through glowing substances.
The moment they chose to leave the new world, all information was solidified in the glowing material and brought back to Earth.
This raises a question.
To continuously obtain high-dimensional information resources, a steady stream of selected people must return to the real world. This is not worth the gain for the continuous investment in the army.
Moreover, we had to face opposition from the public - most of the mainstream thoughts at that time believed that this was an unjust invasion war, so anti-war sentiment once became the mainstream of society.
Therefore, after the signing of the second "Suva Treaty" and the birth of glow equipment, private commercial forces gradually entered this field, and the military and government moved from the front to the backstage for the first time.
It also gradually formed today’s pattern.
Coexistence has been reached between the Chosen Ones and the aborigines, and adventure and exploration have gradually replaced war as the theme of the new world. Although there are still frictions and contradictions between guilds, the large-scale world wars in the first half of the Stargate Era have
It can never be seen again.
Scarpe was silently waiting for the currency settlement.
The other people in Dawn Star are communicating with each other. After a few days of settling down, most people have returned to their original mentality and no longer think about the previous things - although they are still more or less not used to it.
However, with the subsequent intervention of psychological counseling, I believe they will soon adapt to life on earth again.
Only Elsa in the crowd looked a little depressed. Compared to the others, she was only fifteen years old. Ending her career in the second world early was a big blow to her - and she didn't have much savings.
Woolen cloth.
Scarpet patted the little girl's shoulder gently.
It was at this time that the staff member returned to the stage: "Miss Scarpe, we found that there is unread communication information on your glow device. Would you like to check it before settling the account?"
Scape was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and said quickly: "Show me."
The staff immediately transferred the above information to her personal terminal. When Scarpe opened it, her heart almost stopped for a moment. They were two unfamiliar permission request messages:
One is to request permission to extract her storage, and the other is to request permission to log in to the network.
When she saw these two requests, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, and tears welled up. But it was not sadness, but joy and excitement: "That brat is still in Etalia--!"
"Do you want to refuse the request, Ms. Scarpe?" the staff member asked with some confusion.
"No, of course not," Scarpe immediately refused flatly: "Please agree -"
"Is it Ed?" Querod looked at the two requests, reacted, and asked in a low voice.
Scape nodded.
