It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 385 [034] The Birth of Ringstone City

In Uncle Gear's underground warehouse, Qin Jiandan and Linlin were shocked to hear the recording left by their parents. This triggered memories that only surfaced in dreams.

Especially Qin Jiandan, he couldn't tell how many times he had dreamed of the forced landing of the immigration spaceship and the scene of living with his parents under the shelter of the spaceship. However, his parents' faces were always blurry and their voices were always hazy.

At this moment, the Walkman did indeed emit a familiar voice, which finally convinced Qin Jiandan that it was not just a dream. Perhaps the eldest brother was right, he really was one of the "first people".

"When you wake up, you may suffer from hibernation amnesia and be unable to remember the past, especially since Linlin is only 5 years old..."

The recording in the Walkman called Linlin "Linlin", which has a very similar pronunciation, so Qin Jiandan automatically translated it into "Linlin" in his mind.

Valei realized that this recording was very personal and might contain shocking secrets. After saying hello to Qin Jiandan, she escorted Uncle Gear back to the upper store to make sure no one else came to eavesdrop.

Qin Jiandan found a relatively clean crate in the corner of the warehouse and motioned for Linlin to sit on it. Linlin refused. She wanted to stand with her brother and listen to her parents' message.

Yes, it has been 100 years, and the parents who left the message must have passed away long ago. This is the last voice.

An amazing thing happened. The purple liquid evaporating from the hibernation chamber formed a curtain like a reverse waterfall in mid-air, with two figures looming on it.

"Bono, Linlin, there is a special thing called phlogiston crystal on this planet. When in a superconducting state, phlogiston crystal will change from red to purple and become liquid. They are magical beings that can turn fantasy into reality."

Qin Jiandan and Linlin then realized that the purple liquid in the hibernation chamber was actually the transformed phlogiston crystal, and the image in the rising purple mist was the face of their parents that they had been dreaming about.

The couple was very young. The man had a typical Western youth look, while the woman had a slightly dark skin with multiple traces of mixed blood. She was rather shy and even felt a little restrained when leaving messages for her children.

Although the hostility between Easterners and Westerners in Huanshi City was deep, Qin Jiandan had no doubt about the true identities of these two people. These two faces awakened the dusty memories, and Linlin seemed to be born with the advantages of both sides.

That's right, Qin Jiandan vaguely remembered that he was adopted and Linlin was the couple's biological child. Before he was named "Qin Jiandan", he, as "Bono", celebrated Linlin's birth with his parents.

Qin Jiandan gently placed his hand on Linlin's shoulder. He could feel the excitement in his sister's heart.

Linlin's face actually has some Western features, and her skin is whiter than Qin Jiandan's. She dresses up as a stereotypical Chinese girl with a bun hairstyle, partly because of her sensitive girlish nature and she doesn't want to be treated as an alien by the people around her.

"We are from Earth, lost here on an immigration spaceship." The recording continued, but the images of the man and woman disappeared along with the purple mist curtain.

Qin Jiandan guessed that it was his and Linlin's wish to "see their parents" that activated the superconducting phlogiston crystal in the hibernation chamber, but the purple liquid was already very little left, and there was only enough time to fulfill the last wish.

"This immigration ship was accidentally launched due to AI out of control. Most of the passengers are prominent figures in the political and business circles. The ship is not only filled with food, but also cultural works that record human history, as well as a rich human gene pool."

"It was impossible for the spacecraft to fly out of the solar system. We were bound to become a specimen of civilization abandoned in deep space. However, with everyone on board eager to return to Earth, the spacecraft was swallowed by a black hole that suddenly appeared and forced to land on a desolate planet where we can breathe freely."

"After a series of experiments, we realized that there is an abnormal law here, that is, your wish will come true. There used to be many purple rivers flowing on the ground, which were all superconducting phlogiston crystals. We suggest that everyone unite and pray together, so that we can definitely return to the real Earth."

"But some people were injured during the forced landing, and their urgent wish was to treat their injuries. The Purple River fulfilled their wishes and created a magical device called the regeneration module."

Qin Jiandan and Linlin looked at each other. The regeneration cabin had already existed 100 years ago. This device that far surpassed the Earth's technology was actually a fantasy.

"Inspired by this, some patients began to fantasize about curing terminal illnesses, and some elderly people began to fantasize about regaining their youth. Everyone began to make their own wishes, including building a temporary living city based on the wreckage of the spacecraft. This was the prototype of Ringstone City."

"But we soon discovered that even wishes that were not fulfilled would consume the purple river water. If this continued, the wish to return to Earth would become a bubble. At a general meeting, everyone finally united and decided to put aside their own desires and make a wish together to open a portal back to Earth." "We succeeded, and half of the passengers returned to Earth through the portal, but we also got some bad news - this portal is one-way, and once you enter, you can't return to this planet with purple river water. Moreover, all fantasy creations generated by making a wish will collapse the moment you pass through the portal. I still remember how loudly the person who tried to return to Earth with the cat girl cried."

Qin Jiandan frowned - could it be that there are Furui people in Huanshi City? Was it the Furui control guy from 100 years ago who caused the trouble?

"The passengers, who were later called the 'First People', quickly split up. Those who benefited from the purple river hesitated to return to Earth. They continued to fantasize about making Ringstone City larger and more habitable. Just in case, to prevent those who returned to Earth from bringing new immigrants, they built a tower to seal the portal and forbid others from approaching."

"That tower was later called the Central Tower. The group that occupied the Central Tower called themselves 'The Company', and those of us who wanted to return to Earth were called the Resistance. The First People began to create weapons out of fantasy, war began, and the Purple River was consumed in vain."

"The more terrifying things are yet to come. When the company and the rebels were both defeated and finally ready for peace talks, six wealthy Jewish businessmen suddenly became nervous and shouted that this was their promised land and they wanted God to come."

Qin Jiandan sighed: "Tapes are not easy to preserve after all. The first few words of "Rich Merchant" have been worn out."

Linlin said curiously, "There's no wear and tear. Isn't he a wealthy businessman?"

Qin Jiandan still couldn't hear those three words. He suddenly realized that maybe after the Squidward used cognitive shielding on him, he could no longer understand some sensitive words.

"Almost all the purple rivers on the ground were drained. That terrible god descended and began to attack everyone except the ███ rich man indiscriminately. The company was taken over by the ███ rich man. The original company members also joined the resistance and tried to find another way back to Earth."

Qin Jiandan guessed that the squid king might be the "terrible God", but he didn't know why he looked like this... Maybe God was not originally in human form? And the six ███ wealthy businessmen just matched the six squid councillors he had seen!

"After experiments, we confirmed that the speed of time passing between Ringstone City and Earth is different. It takes only one year on Earth, but 1 years to pass in Ringstone City."

Hearing this, Qin Jiandan and Linlin became excited: If their parents successfully returned to Earth, then wouldn't it mean that they only spent 10 years on Earth and did not die of old age? Wouldn't they have the chance to meet each other in the future?

No wonder there are rumors that the company is still connected to the earth. Could it be that the one-way portal cannot bring living things back, but can transmit messages? It turns out that the Chinese men's football team has not been able to enter the World Cup for 100 years, but for 10 years... But rubbish is still rubbish.

"We experienced a five-year war between the rebels and the New Corporation. The Corporation used genetic technology and cloning technology to create tens of thousands of Ringstone residents and brainwash them. The rebels used the purple river to create many monsters as companions, but they were still defeated and forced to march in the desert. "

Qin Jiandan realized that the ancient corpse beasts in the endless desert might have been created by the rebels, but due to their age, they had lost their original purpose. And just as Doctor Li speculated, the total population of Huanshi City exceeded 1000 million, which was definitely not the number of natural reproduction by spaceship immigrants in 100 years.

"In order to reduce the consumption of food and water, we take turns putting team members into a limited number of hibernation chambers. These are hibernation chambers made with the help of the purple river, and the time inside is completely stagnant."

"Bono, Linlin, after we put you in the hibernation capsule, the resistance was surrounded by the company's drones and had to hide in underground caves. There is a purple river flowing underground here."

If you listen carefully, you will find that the mechanical sound in the background belongs to the rotor of the drone, and the sound of gunfire comes from the barrel of the drone. You can imagine how dangerous it was for my parents when they left the message.

"In despair, everyone united as one and gathered their spirits to create another portal back to Earth. It was very unstable and soon broke into pieces, but the pieces did not disappear. Instead, they flew into the bodies of the wishers, causing their bodies to gradually fade away. We believe that this is another way of teleportation. We will return to Earth in an endless countdown..."

"It's a pity that all the people sleeping in the hibernation capsules were unable to enjoy this transmission. Bono, Linlin, we will hide the hibernation capsules in a safe place. If you can wake up, please hold on. No matter where you are or how long it takes, we will definitely find a way to rescue you!"

As the strange buzzing sound became louder and louder, the recording of her parents came to an end. The background sound of gunfire and shouting also died down, leaving only the noise of the tape and the Walkman spinning idly in Linlin's hands.

Qin Jiandan helped Linlin wipe away the tears on her face:
"Don't cry, we finally know our identities. And only 10 years have passed on Earth. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to see our parents again!"
