Chapter 3 Extraterrestrial Visitors to the Xia Kingdom

Chang'an Prefecture, Changle Palace, Yongning Hall. (PS: This chapter has been revised for the twenty-first time...)
The majestic palace complex stands quietly in the morning light, its golden glazed tiles gleaming with the sunlight, and its vermilion palace walls, stretching like a dragon's spine, proclaiming the enduring and profound civilization of the Eastern Xia Dynasty.

An internal meeting is being held in the central hall. Today's topic is how to deal with the aggressive actions of the Bald Eagle Federation across the sea.

The participants each expressed their views concisely and clearly. On this issue, there is no absolute certainty, no right or wrong, only individual considerations!

The prevailing opinion at the meeting was to bide our time and accumulate strength.

The heated discussion was in progress when suddenly a piercing air raid siren shattered the tranquility above Changle Palace without warning!

"W-W-W-W-!"

The people in the meeting suddenly stood up and looked out of the hall in astonishment.

Are you crazy? Where is this place?
A rainbow spans ten thousand miles, reflecting Changle; a thousand years of golden spears rise from Weiyang Palace!
This is the capital city of six dynasties in the land of Dongxia, the spiritual totem of the dragon people, and the center of a civilization that has been passed down for ten thousand years!

The inscriptions on the Nine Tripods forge a ten-thousand-mile-long, eternally stable empire; the mighty waves and east winds resonate through eight thousand years, echoing across heaven and earth; a first-tier superpower on Earth, with its three permanent members of the UN Security Council, its banners fluttering in the wind.

Who would dare launch a surprise attack on this place?
The air raid sirens grew louder and more piercing with each blast. As the elderly men hurried out of Linhua Hall and stood under the eaves, the loyal Imperial Guards were closing in from all directions at an almost frantic pace.

The young captain of the Imperial Guard, his eyes bloodshot, shouted hoarsely:

"Unidentified object detected! Plunging at high speed from outer space directly towards Yongning Palace!"

Meanwhile, the command center of the capital's garrison was in an uproar.

The military's radar had already detected the uninvited guest. It hovered in outer space above Dongxia for more than ten minutes at a ghostly speed close to Mach 6.

Its abnormal trajectory instantly triggered a top-level alert and was firmly locked onto by the integrated monitoring platform of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.

Preliminary calculations indicate that the target's volume is only a dozen cubic centimeters, a result that slightly eased the tension in the command center.

It's too small; it doesn't look like a fully formed, lethal weapon. It's more like satellite debris or a micrometeorite.

However, the movement was too suspicious, and the military had to keep a close watch on it.

However, in the very next second, that tiny point of light suddenly changed direction at a right angle in space, accelerated abruptly, and cut straight into the Earth's surface from outside the Kármán line!
The radar supercomputer instantly provided a trajectory prediction, pointing directly to the capital of Xia Kingdom.

This highly unconventional maneuvering and resistance defying the laws of physics prompted the Imperial Guards of the Eastern Xia capital to sound the alarm immediately.

"Emergency authorization! Open fire! Open fire! Saturation interception!!!"

As the prime ministers looked up at the sky, a torrent of missiles from the capital's Royal Guard air defense base were already streaking into the clouds, trailing fiery tails!
Under the order of saturation interception, the short- and medium-range air defense missiles of the Guardian Air Force, which were in combat readiness, were unleashed in full force, and the sky was instantly filled with crisscrossing long arrows.

Combat-ready aircraft took off one after another, accelerating violently and pulling out dazzling Mach rings just seconds after takeoff.

Without locking on, the air-to-air missiles loaded on the fighter jets are launched one after another, and with the help of the early warning radar system, they rush toward the predetermined target.

Then, on the radar screen, that tiny dot of light made an incredible sharp turn, effortlessly avoiding the deadly encirclement of the first wave of "torrents"!

The signal that the "enemy" had broken through the enemy's firepower came through the headset, and the captain of the Imperial Guard responsible for the defense of Yongning Palace was furious: "Quickly! Escort them to safety!!"

Although Ziyuan Tianshu did not fully understand what was going on, he could guess the general idea from the scene.

He pushed away the Imperial Guards who came to help him, his voice carrying an imposing air: "What are you hiding for? If we can't even defend against an attack like this, no matter how big the Xia Kingdom is, where can we hide?"

"I'm standing right here, not going anywhere. I want to see what this thing is all about!"

From the Carmen line to the ground, it only took a little over twenty seconds. Even including the desperate evasive maneuvers, only half a minute passed.

In the blink of an eye, the unidentified object bypassed all the intercepting fire and fell straight to the ground.

All the Imperial Guard commanders who witnessed this scene felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Only the loyal Imperial Guards rushed forward and surrounded the Grand Councilors, trying to use their bodies to block this unknown impact.

A white rainbow pierces the sun! A streak of fire cuts through the sky!
The unidentified object, whose terminal speed had exceeded Mach 15, hovered in the air and wobbled to the ground just as it was about to crash into the glazed golden roof of Weiyang Palace, under the wide-open eyes of the Grand Chancellors and the Imperial Guards.

Before anyone could react, the small cylinder clicked softly, and several slender metal branches, like the limbs of a stick figure, stretched out and clumsily hit the ground with a thud, making a sharp and loud sound.

That was the fluent and clear Dongxia language.

"Mom, help!"

"..." A dozen minutes later.

The managers, unusually, abandoned all their dignity and, like a few curious old children, huddled together head to head, squatting in front of that inconspicuous little gadget, carefully examining it from all angles.

It wasn't that the Imperial Guards weren't putting in their best effort; it was simply that even with over a dozen valiant men using every trick in the book to surround and intercept it, they couldn't even touch a single "metallic hair."

Each time, it would dodge and weave, seizing every opportunity, and relentlessly shout "Help!" towards the direction of the Eastern Xia Prime Minister.

"Get out of the way!"

The Imperial Guards were on high alert, forming a circle with a dozen or so guns pointed forward.

The little creature hopped and skipped over to the ministers, turned left and right, and finally seemed to have chosen the Purple Palace Heavenly Pivot. With a click, it opened the round cover on its chest and spat out a dark yellow piece of paper.

The paper floated in the air, unfolded automatically, and even turned in a different direction, pointing the text towards the Purple Palace Sky Pivot. The first line that appeared on the paper was written in the Xia Kingdom script.

"Dear Motherland, I am your child who was stranded in a foreign world!"

The letter was not complicated. After briefly explaining his situation, Chen Mo humbly pleaded with the people of Dongxia who received the letter to hand it over as soon as possible, and also hoped that the authorities could provide him with some support.

Just a little bit! Even if it's just a pistol!
The latter part of the letter details how to use that crucial "beacon".

After quickly reading the letter, the attendees exchanged glances.

Twelve seconds later, the beacon's location was heavily sealed off, allowing entry but not exit.

At 1 minute and 9 seconds, after the radar confirmed that all the air-to-air missiles that had lost their targets had landed in the no-man's-land, the air defense alarm in the capital was lifted, and all relevant personnel handed over their communication devices and entered temporary isolation.

At three minutes and fifty seconds, a special think tank was driven directly into Chang Le Palace, where they were to answer a question randomly posed by a certain prime minister.

The first question was a math problem involving the multiplication of three-digit numbers.

The second question is an open-ended question. A citizen of the Eastern Xia Kingdom who is lost in the Amazon rainforest needs support. You need to provide him with supplies that do not exceed a certain weight. Please offer your suggestions.

The subsequent questions became increasingly bizarre, and the rules were extremely strict. After completing one question, you had to submit the next one immediately, as if you were racing against an invisible timer.

At 12 minutes and 40 seconds, the first batch of designated supplies, sealed by the military logistics headquarters, was secretly transported to Yongning Hall deep within Changle Palace via a special line. At the same time, multiple transport helicopters were flying towards the military helipad closest to Changle Palace.

Twenty-six minutes later, in Ping'an City, Nanjiang Province, three thousand kilometers away, at a certain institution of higher learning, several middle-aged men with serious expressions and holding National Security Bureau badges, with the cooperation of the city's criminal police, knocked on the door of the principal's office.

"We are investigating a classified case and need to review some students' historical files. Please cooperate!"

Although the security personnel did not know what they were supposed to investigate, they still diligently recorded every file.

The head of the security department randomly selected documents and occasionally asked a few questions.

"How did these departing faculty and staff members perform during their tenure? Why did they leave?"

Why are these majors applying to be eliminated?

Was there any bid-rigging involved in last year's router bidding process?

"Hmm? There's a student here who went missing while saving someone, right? Tell me about his situation."

……

At the forty-four-minute mark, the teleportation beacon placed inside the Yongning Hall emitted a hazy white light.

Through the makeshift bulletproof glass curtain wall, several ministers held their breath and witnessed this miraculous scene: the altar beacon, no bigger than an apple, swallowed a package the size of a medium-sized suitcase amidst a rising plume of smoke.

The little matchstick gently closed its arms, returning to its original silent cylindrical shape, and remained motionless.

This dramatic saga has finally come to an end.

Several high-ranking officials looked up, the starry sky obscured by the sun's glow, and the faint light of some unknown star seemed to connect to that otherworldly realm that carried the cries for help from the wanderer.

"Stop looking!" Cangming clapped his hands, pulling everyone's thoughts back to reality, his voice tinged with helplessness.

"Let's think quickly about how to handle international public opinion given such a big commotion."

 This chapter has been revised more than ten times, and I'm a bit tired. Please forgive any flaws, thank you!
