Xia Chuanhu's brows furrowed even deeper: "Vita, what is going on?"
"Well~~~ Simply put, it was Suo's fault." Vita explained, "This is the first time I'm telling you this, right? The god of the Quantum Sea was actually a human being a long, long, long time ago, maybe hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago. In terms of the concepts on Earth, he was a Venusian."
"Venusians? Is there really life on Venus?"
"Yeah, you already know that aliens really exist, so why are you still surprised by something like this?"
"No...it's just that as far as I know, there is no life on Venus."
After all, Xia Chuanhu's activities are limited to the Earth, and at most the Moon. He has never been to other planets. In addition, various astronomical surveys have never mentioned the existence of life on Venus, so Xia Chuanhu subconsciously thinks so.
Vita smiled softly: "That's actually true. The civilization that Suo was still human has long been destroyed by Honkai. There is nothing on Venus now, and Suo is the last survivor of Venusian civilization, and so am I."
"However, like the people of the previous civilization, the surviving Suo actually always wanted to rebuild a home, a new home that would not be disturbed by the collapse. To this end, she made many attempts, such as breaking out of the solar system, sinking into the quantum sea to obtain the energy of the sea - there are too many attempts to count."
"And catching Gresh is one of them."
"It should be said that it was an accident. Suo and I found a planet at the edge of the solar system as a test site for our new home. During the repeated experiments, various problems occurred there. It just so happened that the Grayshu you mentioned was observed by Suo and I while sitting on her ark."
"So, Suo and I captured Grayshu, used a little trick to make her sleep in the hibernation capsule, and borrowed some facilities and technologies from the Ark - uh... You won't be mad at me for saying this, right?"
Having said that, Vita carefully observed Xiachuan Hu's expression.
Xia Chuanhu just shook his head and said, "How could that be? If I were that easily angered, you would have angered me countless times in the past seven years. Compared to this, it seems that I still don't know enough about you. I didn't expect that the reason why Gray Xiu lost contact was because of you and Suo."
"Oh~~~ That was more than 1,500 years ago. I hadn't thought about escaping from Suo at that time. Although Suo ignored me and often asked me to do some bad things, she was my creator after all. If she told me to go left, I wouldn't dare to go right."
Vita smiled bitterly, but she quickly changed her tone to a playful one: "But it's different now. I am completely your property. Compared to the days when I had to do dirty work under Suo's hands, I prefer the days when you support me now."
"You're still proud?"
"Hmm~~~ Even the gods have to stay away from me. You are the strongest holy swordsman in the world. When I return home, you have to prepare three meals a day for me. Isn't this something I should be proud of?"
"Then you should prepare your own three meals a day when you return this time."
"Hey~~~~!"
Deliberately dragging out the last syllable, Vita pounced directly on Xiachuanhu and shook him as if she was acting coquettishly.
But Xia Chuanhu was completely unmoved. He picked up Vita with one hand and threw her back on the bed: "Don't rush over to me. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Be a little reserved. In addition, according to what you said, is Gray Xiu still asleep now?"
"After all, there is no need to wake her up." Vita said, "I haven't been back to that planet for a long time. In addition, without the power from Suo, it will take me decades to go back there with my current authority. So even if you want to save Grayshu now, it is impossible."
This is indeed true.
No matter how powerful an individual is, it is extremely difficult to travel between stars on one's own. Although Xia Chuanhu is strong enough and can indeed break through the atmosphere for space travel alone, at his speed, it will definitely take years to reach the planet where Grayshu is.
"After all, there is no need to rescue Miss Grayshu now."
Vita changed her position and lay comfortably on the bed.
"Although she has fallen into a deep sleep, she will not be in any danger. You have also sent Suo back to the Quantum Sea. She will definitely not dare to show up for hundreds or thousands of years. So it is completely okay to wait until the most important thing is done before going to greet Grayshu, right?"
"According to my observations and experience, this planet should be facing the next major collapse in a year or two. If I remember correctly, it should be the third time, right? - You, the strongest fighter, cannot leave at this critical moment."
indeed.
Although there are several heroes of the Fire Moth on Earth today, even if Siegfried's Kiana and his Bianca have not grown up yet, relying on the experience and power of the World Serpent, it should not be a problem to smoothly get through each collapse. Even if it is a Herrscher, multiple heroes together can definitely solve it easily.
But this does not mean that Xiachuanhu can leave at will - the intensity of the Honkai is linked to the overall strength of civilization. If various butterfly effects cause the intensity of the Honkai in the future to exceed the intensity in Xiachuanhu's memory, then in order to avoid unexpected situations, he'd better stay on Earth.
"I'll discuss this with Mary later-ah..."
Xia Chuanhu, who had originally been thinking of telling Meili this information first, suddenly remembered when he said it that Meili was probably still in a bad state with weak legs and a sore and painful waist that made her unable to straighten up. She was probably in a deep sleep.
(Or... let her rest for a few days.)
(At worst, I can talk about these things with Aponya and Qianjie first. After all, telling them is the same as telling the World Snake, which is also the same as telling Meili. It doesn’t matter.)
17. You smashed the star gate
"——In summary, can any of you with good brains give me some advice?"
"What do you mean by in summary?"
Tesla and Einstein's room.
After listening to Xia Chuanhu's story about Grayxiu, Tesla, who had the hottest temper, slammed the table and said, "I asked you to answer questions for me and Jiwotou, but you gave us a topic instead. What do you want to do? Are you assigning us homework?"
"Besides, this assignment is too difficult, isn't it? You want us to go to a planet 4,500 AU away from the sun to rescue a person? We can't even get to the nearest Mars!"
Please allow me to give you a positive answer to this point, Master Natsukawa.
At the table between Xiachuanhu, Tesla and Einstein, Otto's personal secretary, Miss Amber, who participated in the conversation through projection, also expressed her own views.
[With the current technology of the SkyMing, it is impossible to carry out such long-distance interstellar travel]
Aozaki Touko, who was also a projection, also added:
[That being said, it’s mainly a matter of time. The floating battleship that Ji Zi built can theoretically travel in space. If you can use Tiger as a power source to provide power and various reinforcements, it will be no problem to travel in space. However, the distance is too far. It will take decades or hundreds of years to fly there, right?]
"Is this really the problem?"
Xiachuan Hu was not surprised by Tesla and Aozaki Touko's rebuttal. After all, Vita had told him that the most difficult thing to solve in rescuing Graysu was time. If it was impossible to travel the long distance back and forth in a short time, rescuing Graysu would be a very difficult task.
If the Earth encounters the Herrscher of the End again while rescuing Grayshu, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
So Xia Chuanhu is now trying to ask these smartest people on earth to see if they can give some feasible suggestions. By the way, because Otto knows that it will cause displeasure to Tesla and Einstein, he took the initiative to let Amber attend on his behalf.
Of course, knowing Otto, everyone present knew that what he said was pure nonsense.
【If you know this, don’t ask us. 】
Aozaki Touko took a puff of her cigarette.
[Besides this, I have something to ask you——Who is this guy? ]
The second half of the sentence was said by Aozaki Touko to the third projection in the room. After she said this, Tesla and Einstein turned their attention to the third projection that had been silent.
Under the gaze of everyone, the third projection withdrew its gaze from Xia Chuanhu and said in a cold tone: "Nice to meet you, everyone from Destiny and Anti-Entropy. I am a member of the World Serpent. You can call me Weierwei - or [Expert]."
"I am attending the meeting initiated by Mr. Xiachuan this time because I received a request from a certain witch to temporarily appear on her behalf as she is unable to move... Speaking of this, I hope Mr. Xiachuan can reveal later how you tortured that lawless witch to such a weak state."
"Uh......"
Hearing Wei Wei's request, Xia Chuanhu's expression suddenly became a little awkward. Tesla and Einstein also looked at him in confusion, as if to say, "What kind of plane have you made again?"
But only Aozaki Orange——
【Oh~~~? 】
After a meaningful hum, Aozaki Touko looked at Xiachuanhu with a teasing look: [Did you meet? ]
"Yes, in a dream."
[Hmm~~~ Then your weekend this week belongs to me, remember to keep it free]
"why?"
[No matter how much that guy stole, I have to steal back. This is the only way to be balanced and reasonable.]
Aozaki Touko's words made Natsukawa Tora let out a helpless smile: "Seriously, Touko, do you guys have to compete like this every time? After so many years, aren't you tired of it?"
[Well, not boring, it's one of the few entertainments outside of work, just like you like playing puzzles and giving money to game companies]
"That's not called giving money away. Besides, the money I spent is less than one percent of my salary." Xia Chuanhu corrected him righteously, "Forget it, I'll just accompany you for a weekend when I get back. I'll remember that."
【So good】
"When did you install the motherhood module on yourself?"
Giving Aozaki Orange a blank look, Xiachuanhu cleared his throat: "Ahem~ Don't worry about what happened just now, it's just some private matters between Orange and me. Compared to this, Weiwei... Ms. Expert, I want to hear your opinion on the matter of Grayshu."
"Then I'll take this as your agreement to my previous request." Wei Wei (Expert) adjusted her hat. "Regarding the matter of Gray Xiu, I have to go back and discuss it with others if possible. I can't give an accurate conclusion for the time being. However, if it's just that the round-trip problem can't be solved, then I can indeed give a suitable solution."
"What did you say?!"
Hearing this, Tesla slammed the table and asked in astonishment: "That's 4,500 astronomical units! The edge of the solar system!"
"Indeed, the distance is very far, and normal movement methods are unlikely to work - so we don't need to use normal methods." Wei Wei (expert) said, "In fact, Mr. Xia Chuan has experienced it once before, although it was a test version."
"...Stargate?"
Xiachuan Hu recalled what he had experienced with Vita before.
Wei Wei (Expert) nodded. "In short, a star gate is a super long-distance transmission device. It has two operating modes - setting up a star gate at two locations to achieve precise transfer between the two locations. Setting up a star gate only at the starting point to achieve super long-distance transmission with a certain error."
"In Grayshu's case, I think the latter applies. Considering Mr. Natsukawa's individual ability, a distance error of two or three astronomical units should still be within the allowable range."
This is true.
If it's two or three astronomical units, Xia Chuanhu can fly it by himself in some time.
"So, given the current situation, it is completely possible to rescue Grayshu?"
"Unfortunately, no."
Wei Wei (Expert) shook her head. "Do you remember the attack you launched on the lunar base a few days ago? Although it was only one attack, the test version of the stargate on the moon has been completely scrapped. It will take at least half a year to repair it. By the way, as the culprit, can you pay for the repairs?"
Xiachuanhu: "......"
If he remembered correctly, he seemed to be the victim?
If he hadn't fought hard, he would have been thrown to some unknown place outside the solar system. Now they are asking him for the repair fee of the star gate...
(Hmm, wait? Maybe... this is possible?)
An idea suddenly popped up in Xia Chuanhu's mind.
18. Lee and Li’s abilities are really useful!
Otto didn't know what to say now.
For the past seven years, he has been observing Xia Chuan Hu's various behaviors. Today, he believes that he has a considerable understanding of Xia Chuan Hu.
And in Otto's opinion, if he really had to give an evaluation of Xiachuan Hu, he would say this - he is a "monster" who is trying his best to act like a "human".
Obviously, as long as Xia Chuanhu has that intention, the world will be his, and no one can go against his will. But he packaged himself as a [human] who is almost indistinguishable, and lived a very stable [human] life.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone had witnessed Xia Chuanhu's power several times before, and only looked at his daily performance over the past seven years, everyone would have regarded him as an ordinary young teacher.
So Otto was actually very lucky.
Fortunately, such a monster from another world with absolute power is so kind and merciful.
And knowing clearly the worst thing that Xia Chuan Hu could bring, everything he did was so reasonable in Otto's eyes. This was also the reason why he had never interfered with Xia Chuan Hu's actions in the past seven years.
but now......
"You want me to grant you a field mission lasting about half a year?"
Hearing what Xiachuanhu conveyed over the phone, even Otto couldn't help but be puzzled for a moment: "——This is really sudden."
This doesn't mean that Xia Chuanhu asked him for a field mission, but that Xia Chuanhu actually wants to be away for half a year?
Xia Chuanhu, who had absolute freedom in this world, was actually going to be away from home for half a year? !
The somewhat unrealistic time span made Otto doubt the thinking behind Xiachuan Hu's application.
And Xiachuanhu did not hide it—
"I just went to rescue someone. You can ask Amber for details."
Xia Chuanhu, who had finished teaching Tesla and Einstein and returned to his and Vita's room, explained: "Also, it may not take that long even though it's said to be half a year. It may take a week or two or a month or two to get it done. Half a year is just an extreme case."
"I see..."
This is indeed the case.
Because you are not sure how long it will take to handle a certain matter, you apply for a longer processing time in advance. This is a common thing in Tianming.
"If I just gave you an application, there would be no problem. The relevant procedures and documents can be completed within ten minutes. But leaving suddenly... I think it must not be something that your family can accept easily."
"can you?"
Now it was Xia Chuanhu's turn to be confused: "Anyway, there's not many people at home right now, so it won't cause any big problems if I go out for a while, right?"
Summer vacation has just begun, and Kiana and Bianca will be away from home for at least a month because they have to go to the branch to take up their posts and participate in internships. In addition, Siegfried often needs to go out on field trips. In fact, in the next month, the Natsukawa family will only have Vita, Himeko and Natsukawa Tora.
And if Himeko is here, then even if Natsukawa Tora is not at home, she and Vita will be able to live a normal life, right?
Of course, it was only because he was here that Natsukawa Tora would consider these things. If he was in the Type-Moon World, he would just send a text message to his family and leave. After all, whether it was Chaldea or the Natsukawa family, they had long been accustomed to his disappearance every now and then, and they knew that he would naturally come back after a while, so there was no need to worry at all.
