"...On our ship, I am the only one from Raburn."

After hearing Cowper's words, the "fat man" was slightly startled, and then smiled freely, gradually revealing his true face.

"This is indeed an oversight on my part. I forgot that we cannot take it for granted that aliens and 'human beings' are the same."

The body of "Fat Man" began to twist, and the projection attached to the skin instantly dissipated as the "Mobile Holographic Theater" closed.

A synthetic man who, in the eyes of Cowper and others, was a complete "alien" appeared in front of them, and this was the synthetic man controlled by Li Wenyuan.

"Introduce yourself. I am the manager of this planet. You can also call me...'Guardian'."

Guardian...

Cowper frowned and stared at the unknown creature in front of him warily. His brain began to search frantically for information related to it, but in the end he found nothing.

Just when he was about to say something, the young man beside him suddenly spoke, his tone full of unkindness.

"...So, was it your fault that our spaceship lost control?"

"Of course, it is not difficult to crack your protection system." Li Wenyuan readily agreed and did not hide the matter.

"So as long as we keep you here, we can leave?" The young man's eyes became more and more dangerous, and he seemed to want to take action.

Li Wenyuan was also stunned, looked the young man up and down, and couldn't help but said:

"...In your civilization, is 'conceit' a virtue? Why do you think that someone who has a way to quietly solve your spaceship can be easily defeated by you?"

"Only the 'unknown' is scary, but now that you are here, you are no longer 'unknown'. For us, you have become a guy who can be defeated." The young man is still undaunted.

, seems quite confident.

Li Wenyuan also nodded and said: "I see. I have also thought about whether I should remain mysterious enough to contact you, but after all, I need to establish a 'cooperative' relationship with you next. I think it is better to show up and speak out."

"But I didn't expect you to want to do something to me as soon as you came up." At this point, Li Wenyuan looked at the young man very curiously.

"I've noticed before that you seem to have an inexplicable self-confidence, as if your life will never be in danger... Could it be that you have some deep secret?"

Such words made the young man's pupils shrink slightly, but on the surface, he still remained indifferent.

Finally, the professor stood in front of everyone, stared closely at the "alien" in front of him, and said:

"...Dear guardian, my student's words were a little offensive just now. I would like to apologize on his behalf for you, and I hope you will forgive me."

His words were full of humility. He apologized first and put himself in a lower position.

A professor who is well-informed is more experienced and shrewd.

Of course he could see that the "guardians" in front of him had no ill intentions towards them for the time being, and it would be easy for an unknown being who controlled such technology to kill them in the dark.

And judging from the words of the "Guardians", he still needs their assistance to a certain extent, otherwise he does not have to show up in person to show his sincerity.

Based on this, the professor wants to hear what this "guardian" wants.

And this is also Cowper's idea. As long as his own safety can be guaranteed, he is eager to know the secrets about this place, because it is very likely to be related to the death of his father!

"Then, dear guardian, can you talk to us about what exactly you mean by 'cooperation'?"

"Of course, no problem. I'm here to talk about this." Li Wenyuan nodded and continued:

"As you can see, there are a huge number of ruins on this planet, and countless secrets are hidden within them."

"And I know nothing except taking care of this planet, and I don't know how to excavate ruins, so I need some 'experts' to help me find out the secrets in those ruins."

"I will provide you with all the resources you need, including food, equipment, manpower, and a good living environment..."

The synthesizer controlled by Li Wenming looked at them with a smile and continued: "...Of course, except for freedom."

"I have no plans to let you leave this planet at the moment, but as long as you can make enough contributions... I will also consider letting you go free."

"Impossible!" Before anyone else could speak, the young man said firmly:

"Why should we listen to a guy whose identity is unknown, whose race is unknown, and who doesn't even know whether he is a living thing or not?"

"What if he is just bluffing? Maybe he is just a drifter who came here ahead of us, and used some tricks to make us mistakenly think that he is very powerful, and wants us to work hard for him! Don't be fooled by him!

"

"Shut your mouth!" The old professor glared at the young man fiercely, scolding the dumb guy dozens of times in his heart, and then looked at Li Wenyuan cautiously.

"...Dear Guardian, this student of mine is quite impatient, so please bear with me... But you see, we also want to know whether you have the strength to support our excavation work. After all, it is difficult for us to survive in danger with only our bodies."

Exploring among the many ruins..."

The old professor is of course a wise man, and it is certainly impossible to believe that Li Wenyuan is a "guardian" based on just one word.

"If this 'guardian' can't produce evidence that convinces us, or is just trying to make a big deal, it means he is a liar." The professor thought to himself, with a low-brow expression on his face.

"There's nothing wrong with that," Li Wenyuan nodded, snapped his fingers and said:

"Weren't you just discussing what this is in the sky? I can tell you that this is a battleship. As for why it does not generate gravity, it is because its body is in subspace."

"This one in the sky is its projection in the real universe, and its actual mass is only about the size of a meteorite."

As he spoke, the originally dark sky suddenly regained its brightness. The sun was still high in the sky, and the previous darkness seemed to be just an illusion.

"This..." Everyone seemed to find it hard to believe that something so huge and comparable to a cosmic phenomenon was actually a battleship?

So how terrifying would a civilization that built such a warship be?

"That alone may not be enough, so let me show you some of the drawings and principle explanations of this battleship... I think with your level of education, you should be able to distinguish what is fiction and what is science."

As he said that, the synthetic man's eyes flashed, and a miniature drawing of a "Sky Veil Battleship" was projected into this space. It was surrounded by a huge number of parameters, and it looked decent.

Cowper and the professor's eyes lit up, and their brains full of knowledge began to analyze instantly. When they encountered problems, they even discussed them on the spot. Sometimes they became red-faced, sometimes they nodded frequently, and they all marveled in unison.

Even the young man who was always unhappy couldn't help but take a look in this atmosphere, and then his attention was attracted by the complex and whimsical structure, and he was immersed in it.

Even if there are many parts that they cannot understand at all, they have to admit that this is indeed a "miracle" that is possible.

"What, do you believe it?"

"...The only civilizations with such technology are the lost empires, right? Dear Guardian, please forgive us for our previous rudeness. It is my honor to serve you."

The professor's posture instantly became respectful. If there was still a hint of doubt before, now that he saw this drawing, he was completely impressed by the technology used in it.

He even had a terrifying guess, maybe the "Guardian" in front of him... was a being of the same level as those "Lost Empires".

"Oh? Doesn't it matter even if you can't return to your hometown?" Li Wenyuan asked a question with great interest.

The professor hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "Although it is regrettable, my biggest goal in this life is to research results on extraterrestrial ruins."

"It doesn't matter if I can't return to my home planet. As long as I can complete my lifelong pursuit, I will die without regrets."

"Admirable spirit." Li Wenyuan praised and looked at Cowper again.

"Your thoughts?"

"The professor and I have the same idea." Cowper quickly replied:

"I came here to investigate the death of my father, and now that I have found clues, I will not agree to it even if you drive me away."

"Not a bad idea." Li Wenyuan nodded, and finally looked at the charming and confident young man.

"...So, what do you think?"

The young man was silent for a while, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking intensely.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he asked Li Wenyuan:

"Before I answer, can I ask a question?"

"certainly."

"...Can I ask, are you controlling that battleship in the sky?"

"I'm controlling it, what's wrong?" Li Wenyuan replied happily, looking at the young man curiously, wondering why he asked this.

But I saw that the young man breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body seemed to relax, and his eyes gradually changed from changeable at the beginning to playful. There was a strong confidence in his expression, as if everything was under control.

He stepped forward slowly, and each step made his energy and spirit improve, and along with the strong atmosphere brought by self-confidence, it turned into his "looking down on all things" aura.

"Then there's nothing to be afraid of...Old antique, those gadgets of yours are already outdated."

He said this with a sarcastic smile on his face:

"Let you experience the power of the new era!"
