Chapter 579: Heroes Return
When Cavendish went into space, there was no astronautical society.

This was the product of the increasing number of participants in this cause, which was led by the Magic Guild, with some non-magical universities, engineers' guilds, and the Dwarf Confederation joining in.

During this period of time, they were always communicating one-way with the ground, so naturally they didn't know.

But this is just a small detail that can be ignored. The point is that they can go home!

To be honest, these dozens of days were extremely difficult to endure. Apart from the various experiments and data collection that had to be completed, there were no other activities for them. At most, the three of them would play ball, cards, and various social games invented by the nobles out of boredom.

More importantly, sailing on the boundless sea of ​​transmutation dust, they felt isolated from the world. The inability to receive news from the ground made them panic, and sometimes even the most absurd fears would quietly emerge:
What if the main material world is destroyed now and we are the only three left?
In a sense, we cannot laugh at them for having unfounded fantasies. At least during the cruise, many disasters did occur in the main material world.

But at this moment, everything is not a problem. The three of them have only one belief: return home, return home at full speed!
Their vehicle was more than two sizes smaller than the No. 1 ship, which made it look lighter and more flexible when maneuvering.

The turbulent whirlpool was not a problem for the First Ship. It quickly broke through the "waves" and headed straight for the Star Gate.

With this Rorschach-made "suppression" device, the vortex was barely controllable, so they no longer needed to close the portholes and take the most conservative protective measures to pass through it, but were relatively open, just like when cruising on the "sea surface".

So one of the team members saw something strange while passing through the Star Gate: "Why did I seem to see someone outside the ship just now?"

Cavendish asked the team members to think: "How is it possible! If it is really a human figure, then he can stand in the torrent of transmutation dust, which is 100% not a human.

"You must be mistaken."

If they were not mistaken, they would definitely be powerless to resist any action taken by the being they witnessed.

So it’s better to ignore it.

Fortunately, this shock only lasted for a moment, and they and the starship were successfully swept into the laminar gap.

To use an apt but inappropriate analogy: the first ship was like a bar in the toilet at this time, being flushed away by the rotating fluid.

After entering the edge of the main material world, they were pulled by the gravity of the earth and began to fall faster and faster.

According to the plan, Cavendish started the attitude adjustment procedure, and the built-in Tower Spirit control nozzle provided reasonable recoil.

Another message was captured by the First Ship, but this time it was not as clear as the call from the First Ship, and there were many noises accompanying it:

"Calling Ship No. 1, this is the high-altitude relay station. Please adjust your posture. The fifth ring will arrive at the designated location in one minute. Be prepared for transmission."

Teleport? Where to? The three-man team was confused again.

This time, they were actively picking them up, so the fifth ring level motion alignment was required to get the first ship "on target." When the target came out of the Star Gate, the ground and mid-air measurement and control began tracking.

At present, the ladder system is still in a completely aligned state, especially the fifth ring step is still facing the center of the vortex, so it didn't take much effort to successfully catch the target one minute and thirty-two seconds after it appeared.

"You have arrived 3,000 meters above the No. 5 transmission device. Please adjust the attitude so that the ship is pointing vertically upward and the anti-thrust force is reduced to the minimum."

The call was repeated several times before Cavendish finally completed the operation as instructed.

2800, 1100, 700, 530 meters.
Now they could see clearly that there was another ring-shaped building waiting at their feet, and it was obvious that the starship was going to pass through it.

"What on earth happened during this period of time?" Although it was incredible to be able to reach the astral realm, Cavendish felt that he had missed a technological explosion on the ground in the past few months.

The space membrane was laid before the starship arrived, and a reverse relay transmission began. After the returning No. 1 came out of the zeroth ring, it also had a horizontal posture and plunged into the launch position of No. 1 ship.

This time, the force field released by the "ribs" before the zeroth ring stage is no longer [levitation], but a real stasis force field.

The still-running engine pushed Cavendish and his men through one force field after another, and they finally intercepted them successfully and came to a steady stop.

The starship recovery was a success!
There was thunderous applause at the Lanster Space Center.

The ground crew quickly installed supports under the No. 1 ship, fixed it in place, pushed it out of the force field along the guide rails, and then moved the stairs to dock with its exit hatch.

"Welcome back!"

"Where are we?" The three-member team was a little confused. They followed the instructions and passed through several portals in a daze. They reached the ground in the blink of an eye.

This is different from the training phase! They were told that returning home is very dangerous, and the impact of acceleration is no less than that of taking off.

Even in the worst case scenario, they need to enter the escape chamber and abandon the main body of the spacecraft to escape.

Now the experience is so good and easy, and there is no need for protection magic, so wouldn't the acceleration resistance training before be in vain? The three of them were vomiting to death.

No wonder Captain Smollett was so full of energy when he called out, as if nothing had happened. Cavendish even thought that the other party had good physical fitness and could withstand the acceleration!
After accepting this, he looked around again. The starship had been moved to a large shed, which was crowded with people. The only thing that was certain was that it was no longer in the Holy Kingdom. Oh, and not in the territory of the Republic of Valois - because there were many elves and dwarves standing openly in the crowd. Not only were there a lot of them, but they were also wearing the same uniforms as humans.

At this time, the representative of the Starry Tower, Mage Snow, quickly climbed the stairs and pulled the still confused Cavendish out: "Will staying in the Star Realm for too long affect your intelligence?"

"No! I just haven't figured out the situation yet. Where is this place?"

Snows gave him a bottle of energy potion: "Welcome to the Byrn Lanster Space Center! Welcome back to the earth!"

In addition to representatives from various magic towers, envoys from the Valois Republic, the Istani Republic, and the Dwarf Confederation were also present.

Finally a group of reporters were allowed in. They scrambled to hold up the latest alchemical developers and tried to record the first batch of heroes who had stayed in the astral plane for several months.

So the next day, all major newspapers published the scene of Cavendish drinking the purple drink with his head tilted back (although the photo was still in black and white).

Because his clenched hand happened to obscure the label, both Hercules and Fonda later claimed that the astral pioneer had drunk their own product.

For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world was discussing what was happening in the sky, and even the almost blockaded imperial palace was no exception.

"Your Majesty, those wizards claim that from now on, there will be unimpeded access to the astral plane." The monk drank wine and read the newspaper.

"Hmph, what's the use?" William II was almost lying on the throne, admiring his left hand - a flawless limb that was worthy of him.

"They are afraid of Mother Earth and want to escape." Gregory seemed to be happy about this:
"Since they are willing to give you the homeland where you grew up, you should take it all."

"Stop talking nonsense like that. I just want to know if you are ready for 'that thing'?"

"Everything is ready, Your Majesty." The evil monk bowed deeply to the emperor.
