the days before i bought the galaxy

In the early morning of November 1214, 11 in the Milky Way calendar, the medium-sized spacecraft Xiaguang officially entered the synchronous orbit over the "heart" of Freya, and began to sail synchronously around the "heart".At the same time, a team of six people sailed towards the surface of the "heart" in an airship...

Lan calmly glanced at the numbers on the dashboard: "The estimated landing time counts down by 2 minutes."

Warren: "Thank you, Blue. Switch to manual navigation, and you're in charge of landing the airship. Everyone get together again, and I'm going to reiterate the caveat."

Everyone is fully armed.To prepare for the eventuality, Blue loaded up with a lot of equipment (albeit considered inefficient and useless by Mr. Trash Can), which made him appear even taller than usual.Mr. Trash Can still maintains his true colors. Of course, everyone already knows that his ability is far beyond that of an ordinary electronic trash can. (After a friendly civilization-to-civilization conversation, Mr. Garbage even agreed to convert Lainey's MP3 into a four-phase receiver.)

On the other hand, Warren, Odin and Leni also put on thick protective clothing.Leni insisted on bringing a special set of Star Diplomat equipment, which ended up being part of Blue's load due to its weight.Lan believes that this can effectively reduce the potential danger that may be caused to Leni.

Compared with everyone who was ready to fight, Ogaro looked more like a child who was about to go on an outing.He didn't even ask Warren where he was going, just happily followed Warren.He was glad that he spent more time with Warren on the Rays.Ogaro didn't have any protective measures on his body. Leni had raised doubts about this, but Ogaro didn't pay attention to it at all.Only Warren knows that Ogaro's power is far stronger than any member of the team, at least in terms of spiritual power.Odin also vaguely guessed a little bit, but he didn't witness Ogaro's astonishing star-like spiritual power like Warren.

"Last night, I confirmed with Ulysses again through the messenger. As I said before, because I have an amethyst sword on me, it is safe within a radius of 50 meters around me. You don't have to worry about the influence of special particles , but you must remember that you can’t leave me more than this distance.” Warren emphasized, “The purpose of our trip is to find a solution to the abnormal movement of special particles, and destroy the ‘heart’ if necessary. What we will face is a powerful alien force. Everything may happen on that planet, and everyone must adapt to the situation and try to solve the problem in the shortest possible time. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"clear."

"..."

"Okay, let's go!"

The airship landed on the surface of the planet after some bumps. When the hatch opened, almost everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them.Surrounded by countless towering trees, the small airship seems to have landed in a paradise through the branches and vines. The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and all kinds of beautiful petals, and the sunlight falling through the leaves seems to overshadow everything. Putting on a ethereal veil...

"It's so beautiful!" Leni couldn't help sighing.

"I don't think there's anything aesthetically pleasing about this place that's in dire need of garbage removal. Oh, there's at least a thousand years of garbage accumulated here! It's a huge job to clean up!" Mr. Trash Can's voice sounded eager.

"You don't understand, this is nature. Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, rotten leaves finally turn into nutrients to nourish the land, endless life... This is a kind of beauty that cannot be achieved by human beings." Leni admired while refuting the idea of ​​the trash can, " What this place needs is not cleaning, but protection. This is a tranquility that people can't bear to break..."

Blue frowned, Leni's reaction reminding him of her twin sister Linda when she first arrived in Freya. "I think a balance can be achieved between intelligent life and their living environment. It is not correct to simply praise or belittle any aspect. Humans use the environment to obtain resources, because that is itself a thing without owner. As long as Maintaining good development and not over-exploiting is a situation that is beneficial to both human beings and the environment. We should not divide human beings and the environment into opposing camps."

"Maybe... But this place can exist without us. To Freya, we are actually just a group of urchins who disturb people's dreams. The terrible thing is that we hold flaming torches in our hands. ' Leni let out a sigh.

"Please pay attention to your identity. We shoulder the safety of 50 people during this trip." Odin reminded.

Lenny: "Yes, I understand. I just want to resolve things peacefully."

Warren: "Let's go! The area seven kilometers north of here is one of the areas with the highest concentration of special particles. Let's go there first. If we don't find it, we will immediately turn back to the airship and go to the next location."

The six-member team began to move forward.Mr. Garbage Can took the initiative to take the responsibility of opening the way. As he walked, he muttered about garbage recycling, how to decompose harmful bacteria in this forest, how to plan plants reasonably, and so on.Warren took Ogalo's hand and walked behind the trash can, Odin and Leni walked behind the two of them, and Lan was in charge of the rear to ensure the team's retreat.

The intricate roots of the trees brought some difficulties to the progress, and there were a few false alarms caused by birds or insects on the way. Other than that, the operation was smoother than expected. The team had arrived at the designated location before 12:[-]. Place.

"It doesn't look any different from other places here," Leni said suspiciously.

"No, there's something..." Lan pointed in one direction and said, "It's over there!"

It was a very tall tree.Although all the trees on this planet are surprisingly tall, this one is still the king of the trees, with a trunk diameter of more than 20 meters.

Warren: "What is it?"

"A tree hole." The trash can replied, "to be precise, it is a tree hole that has been artificially transformed. There are a few pieces of metamorphic rock outside, and some animal bones are placed symmetrically inside. I'm afraid you are not here. lonely."

Warren frowned. He knew that the "you" mentioned by the trash can should refer to non-mechanical intelligent life. "You said someone was here?"

"Just now... Aha! I decided not to tell you the scan results! I am only responsible for protecting Lan's safety, and I have no obligation to help you." Trash Can suddenly changed his previous attitude of always answering questions, "If you Willing to persuade Lan to return to the machine with me..."

Warren simply ignored Mr. Trash Can's words. "blue?"

Lan shook his head: "I can't scan the signal of life for the time being, but there is indeed something behind that tree."

Warren: "Then go check it out!"

A group of people walked to the back of the big tree with curiosity, and then felt suspicious at the same time (except for Mr. Trash Can).

"What is this?" Odin frowned.

There is a big tree hole on this side of the big tree, which extends from the ground to a height of more than 30 meters. It looks like the tree body has been cut by something, and a long and narrow crack has appeared.In fact, the description of the trash can just now is not very accurate. There are many straw mats on the ground in front of the tree hole, and there is a stone pile made of flat stones on the left and right sides, and a burnt torch is inserted on the top. .Because of the backlight, I can't see what's inside the tree hole, but the overall feeling of this place is only one——

"This is an altar of primitive civilization. There are primitive civilizations on this planet." Leni judged, "Their level of civilization is not high, but primitive worship has already appeared. Look at these straw mats, they are arranged like The shape of a tree, and the lines drawn in carbon on these stones, this place is clearly used for some kind of sacrificial ceremony. I think the primitive people here may have had an unusual reverence for this tree .They piled their prey here, trying to express their reverence for the gods."

"I'm afraid that's not exactly the case." Lan said, "According to my comparison, the patterns on these stones are [-]% similar to the molecular formulas that make up the materials of these stones, but the letters on the molecular formulas are all replaced by specific patterns."

"What did you say? Could it be that this seemingly primitive civilization has already mastered a high level of chemical knowledge? This is impossible!" Leni was extremely surprised.

"Or someone told them this knowledge." Odin murmured, "The same thing has been found on the earth. The ancient cultural relics depict star maps that modern people can only see with high-powered telescopes. Some Minorities worship the double helix structure. In any case, it is a miracle that there are people in this place. Don’t forget that these special particles can affect people’s spiritual power and make people fall into a situation where they don’t want to make progress. How can these people Is it unaffected?"

Warren: "Will the residents here be related to the god Freya? Lan, check the ground, I want to know where the person who transformed this cave is. Ogaro, come back! Don't leave me too far!"

Ogalo, who had just walked a few steps, turned his head in doubt, looked in the direction of the cave again, and finally returned to Warren reluctantly.

"Ogaro will be fine." Ogaro emphasized.

"I know, but you also promised to listen to me. This place is very dangerous, and you don't want me to have an accident because I'm worried about you?"

"Ogaro won't let Warren have anything to do. Ogaro doesn't think this place is dangerous. If you think this planet is dangerous, I'll help you eat it!"

"No, if we destroy this place, we may not be able to find the God of Freya. Ogaro, stay close to me and don't go away. Lan, can you find out where those people are?"

"Warren, I have scanned them! There are about twenty people two kilometers ahead, and they are walking in this direction. Their life signals are very similar to humans."

Excited and nervous expressions flashed across everyone's faces.Warren immediately ordered: "Hide on the spot, let us see who is here!"

After about 15 minutes, a looming figure finally appeared behind the trees.The first ones were two short people, then several people surrounded a simple sedan chair, and after that, many people walked scatteredly.

When the team got closer, Lainie, who was hiding behind the tree roots, almost exclaimed.If you don't take the length of beard and hair into account, from the face and body shape, these people are simply a group of normal human beings!

The two walking in the front are obviously old, their bodies are bent like old people, so they look particularly short.They are barely naked, and their thin limbs and slightly bulging stomachs give people a feeling of being both old and full of vitality.Half of those walking behind them were clothed, the other half were completely naked.The most surprising thing is that those who wore clothes, their clothes turned out to be very modern.

"That seems to be..." Leni said, lowering her voice, "our clothes?"

"It's the missing exploration team. I know eleven of them." Lan said, "How did they get here without a spaceship? Could it be that there are other spaceships active in Freya?"

Leni was full of doubts: "You said that they are the few scientists who voluntarily stayed on Planet No. [-]? Then they are not primitive people, but they were driven to the heart by some force. Then what are they doing now? Look! They seem to be performing some kind of ritual!"

Odin: "Shh - listen to what they're saying."
