How Am I Still Alive?

".Is this the outer space?"

Embarking on the journey again, this time the feeling is much different from before.

It's just that the "boarding" process is slightly different this time.

"Don't we need to go to the state capital to board the plane?"

During the initial exploration trip, many explorers thought that the "Tiantian Tower" in the state capital was the entrance to the God's Ark.

After all, it is difficult for gods who do not have a deep connection with the earth to bypass the protective layer of the earth, directly raise their tentacles to the surface of the planet, and establish a stable portal.

An existence that is forcibly established will be regarded as a malicious intruder, will suffer the hostility of the world, and will have to bear a huge additional cost. In fact, this is how the foreign evil gods who invaded this world came.

However, the kingdom of gods that has established a link with the planet has certain teleportation capabilities, but its kingdom of gods is also bound to this world.

Therefore, bringing the "explorer" into the starry sky and breaking away from the protection of the planet has also become the premise of "boarding the plane". Don't worry about negative effects on the surface.

"The sky-climbing tower in the state capital? It's too far away, it's very inconvenient. Xiao'an City also built one, let's go there."

"Xiao'an? Isn't that farther than Changping, I know."

Obviously, this is not simply a matter of distance.

You need to enter and exit through the competitor's dock, your every move is under the surveillance of the other party, and there is no competition, and this is not the main reason.

"What about entry and exit tariffs?" I won't say how much the tariffs are for foreign travel. Some of them are collected by the central government and some are generated by local governments. They are destined to become important revenues for local governments.

Changping built a super-large airport is obviously ambitious, but how could its competitors honestly let their explorers go there and contribute huge land taxes for you,

In just a few months, Xiaoan built a similar "boarding platform".

"I heard that the investment was invested by the four cities together, so within ten years, the land tax will be shared with each family through transfer payments"

This is the advantage of having people in the system in the team. They can see the reason for those operations of "seeking far away" at a glance, and they can even take it as a joke.

".Isn't the ancient city going to be built?"

"Of course I plan to build it, but I have no money or resources. I heard that the application report was rejected by the Changping Prefecture government. They rejected all the construction of the 'Tiantian Tower' in the state."

"Then Xiaoan's."

"I don't know about that, hehe, I understand everything, maybe in the newspaper, it is another landmark building that wastes people's money"

This time, Lu Pingan did not come alone.

When "exploration" became the number one event in the entire ancient city, many additional participants naturally joined, many of whom were "classmates" that Lu Pingan met in the training class before.

On Lu Ping'an's side, the number of people who should come has come is not many, and the number of explorers is actually enough.

In the courtyard, in addition to the hidden research team, there are also busy workers in the factory, and at the same time, there are more than a dozen knights and mercenaries as guards.

The knight leaders and their core subordinates did not come. They are already established "auxiliary police officers". They have just joined the job and work overtime every day. It is not realistic to ask for leave at this time. If all the teams run away, they will not be able to do the job. up.

On the other hand, there are some special restrictions on them who have just arrived from other races. It is not so easy to pass the approval to leave a foreign land. It is easy to hide in the courtyard, but losing their jobs means that the previous layout is in vain.

The same happened to Catherine and those members of the royal family.

The former was left behind, purely because of Lu Pingan. As the captain of a special service team to be established in the new development zone, Lu Pingan actually had a lot of work on his hands, and the local "Rebirth Chamber of Commerce" also began to float on the water. business work.

Lu Ping'an needs an agent, who has the full power to handle those trivial matters when he is not around. Naturally, she, who was originally Lu Ping'an's secretary's agent, was left to work overtime.

The few members of the royal family, except Yaqian, are more nerdy than each other.

But Wang Yaqian's company has been established and she has her own place to live in. She naturally moved out her younger siblings and servants. If they don't take the initiative, Lu Pingan will also drive them away.

There were not many people on Lu Ping'an's side (on the surface), and there was still space in every bus, so he took a few colleagues along.

They are different from "political amateurs" like Lu Pingan. They are not talking about the foreign land that is about to leave, but the ancient city and Changping's open and secret struggles. These things seem to have become interesting conversations for them to open up the topic.

Chatting along the way, after chatting for a while, I had nothing to say, so those who listened to music put on their headphones, those who read books opened their books, and those who slept, uh, is there something wrong with this cat, why did they sleep all the way.

Seeing that there were outsiders, Lu Pingan dismissed the idea of ​​petting the cat for fun.

Xiao'an City is actually a bit far from the ancient city. When we arrived, it was almost dark, but counting the time, it was the moment of departure.

Unlike the Tongtian Pagoda in Changping, this time the tower is still a bit decent from a distance, but when you get closer, you find that it is basically only a wire frame, and it trembles when the wind blows.

Walking in the meantime, the steel plates under your feet are constantly shaking, making people wonder if they may fall apart at any time.

Lu Pingan and his party stood below, a little hesitant and uneasy, but helpless, they could only sigh, and got on the "elevator compartment" that looked like a cannonball.

"This thing needs four cities to invest together?"

"It was built in more than a month, don't be picky about the appearance, although the inside is not worth looking forward to."

This time, whether it is comfort or safety, it is obviously far worse than last time.

And when the vehicle accelerates and tries to leave the planet's gravitational interference, it is not as smooth as last time.

"boom!"

The violent swaying made people bump up and down, and some people were thrown up like dolls. The first-time passengers finally understood why everyone was assigned a steel rope except for the seat belt.

The impact of this thing is quite terrifying, Lu Pingan has practiced it before, and I am afraid that he will be embarrassed on the spot.

". Seat, a special space seat, I heard that it is still under order, it's too late." A certain passenger vomited and vomited.

"Tsk, these chairs now seem to be modified from Internet cafe chairs? Hey, hey, at least get some safety seats for the bus." Some people complained about the local government's over-saving.

"Dragon! There are dragons outside!" And those people at the window also revealed the power source for leaving the planet this time.

Lu Pingan approached them, and they were really old dragons. It was a large red-yellow salon, at least ten times bigger than the young dragon named Odom that he had seen before.

These giant dragons form a whole line one by one, just like this, dragging, pulling or pushing, directly grabbing this dilapidated space capsule and ascending to the air road Ping'an, there are more than a dozen giant dragons flying with them, it should be waiting relay.

"Tsk, is this the result of letting prefecture-level cities engage in aviation? I really can think of any tricks."

But when I thought about the space capsules pulled by giant dragons in other cities when I set off for the first time, is this also a mature technology? Uh, it seems that compared to the high consumption of fuel, it is obviously cheaper to feed the dragon.

Lu Pingan was still complaining about the unreliability of local aerospace, but he had already entered the preset orbit unknowingly. When a space gate appeared on the outskirts of the space capsule, it was time to board the plane.
